00:00Good morning.
00:05There was no classified material that was shared in that.
00:07So then if there was no classified material, share it with the committee.
00:13You can't have it both ways.
00:15These are important jobs.
00:16This is our national security.
00:20Bobbing and weaving and trying to, you know, filibuster your answer.
00:25So please answer the question.
00:26If this was a, Director Gabbard, if this was a rank and file intelligence officer who
00:34did this kind of careless behavior, what would you do with them?
00:38Senator, I'll reiterate that there was no classified material that was shared in that
00:43signal.
00:44And if there's no classified materials, share.
00:46And then if there's no classified materials, then answer the, you can't even answer the
00:49question whether you're on the chat.
00:52This is strangely familiar.
00:53And I think my colleagues remember when you couldn't answer the question, is Edward Snowden
00:58a traitor?
01:01Putting aside for a moment, the classified information should never be discussed over
01:08an unclassified system.
01:11It's also just mind boggling to me that all these senior folks were on this line and nobody
01:16bothered to even check.
01:19Security hygiene 101.
01:20Who are all the names?
01:21Who are they?
01:22Well, it apparently included a journalist and no matter how much the Secretary of Defense
01:29or others want to disparage him, this journalist had at least the ethics to not report, I think,
01:37everything he heard.
01:38I'm going to go back to what I addressed at the outset.
01:41I mean, this was not only sloppy, not only violated all procedures, but if this information
01:49had gotten out, American lives could have been lost.
01:55The Houthis had this information, could reposition their defensive systems.
02:01So I want to get a little more information about this.
02:03Director Gabbard, did you participate in the group chat with Secretary of Defense and other
02:08Trump senior officials discussing the Yemen war plans?
02:12Senator, I don't want to get into this.
02:14Ma'am, were you on?
02:15You're not going to be willing to address.
02:17So you're not.
02:18Are you denying that?
02:19Will you answer my question, ma'am?
02:21You are not TG on this group chat.
02:25I'm not going to get into the specifics.
02:26So you refuse to acknowledge whether you are on this group chat.
02:30Senator, I'm not going to get into this.
02:32Why are you?
02:33Why are you going to get into the specifics?
02:34Is this is it because it's all classified?
02:36Because this is currently under review by the National Security because it's all classified.
02:40If it's not classified, share the text now.
02:45Has the White House previously classified or non classified information on this?
02:49I can confirm.
02:50Director Radcliffe, were you on the group chat?
02:53So my communications, to be clear, in a signal message group were entirely permissible and
03:01lawful and did not include classified information.
03:04We will we will make that determination because if it's not classified, share the text with
03:09the committee.
03:12Senator Patel, has the FBI launched any investigation of this?
03:15Senator, I was just briefed about it late last night.
03:18This morning, I don't have an update.
03:20I would like to get an answer by the end of the day.
03:23You know, again, this pattern of an amazing cavalier attitude towards classified information
03:30is reckless, sloppy and stupid.
03:33Perhaps what troubles me most is the way the administration has decided that we we can
03:37take on all our problems by ourself without any needs for friends or allies.
03:43I agree that we've got to put America's priorities first, but America first cannot mean America
03:49alone.
