Chapter 1: What happened at Trump's first presser on the leak scandal?
Donald Trump just held a disastrous public meeting with some of his ambassadors. The National Security Advisor Mike Walls was there. He was one of the individuals on the group text thread where war plans were leaked to a reporter who was invited into this unsecured group text thread. So Donald Trump was asked about this massive scandal. Donald Trump was asked
So why are you and your regime now saying that the information in this text thread was not classified? Trump just shuts the question down and says, another question, please. Here, play this clip.
Mr. President, all we told you about information was not classified. Another question, please, go ahead. Just following up on your comments on the economy.
Then Donald Trump says he knows nothing about Signal, that he just even heard about this, that he has nothing to do with it. Here, play this clip.
National security was put at risk, Mr. President, of senior officials using Signal. The use of Signal to communicate from senior officials.
I don't know anything about Signal. I wasn't involved in this, but I just heard about it. And I hear it's used by a lot of groups. It's used by the media a lot. It's used by a lot of the military, and I think successfully. But sometimes somebody can get onto those things.
That's one of the prices you pay when you're not sitting in the Situation Room with no phones on, which is always the best, frankly.
You know, you... Then Donald Trump attacks the editor-in-chief of Atlantic, who was brought into this chat, didn't ask to be on this chat, and starts attacking the Atlantic and attacking the editor-in-chief and saying, I think that he's bad for the country. He makes up a lot of stories. Folks, he just quoted directly what was on the chat. Here, play this clip.
From what I heard, the man that we're talking about, who's not somebody that I don't think most people have ever heard of. He left. He found it very boring and he left early. He got off the line very early. So I can't speak to it other than that. So he's made up a lot of stories. And, you know, I think he's basically bad for the country. But it's it's a failing venture, very failing venture.

Chapter 2: How did Trump respond to questions about classified information?
But the media wants to talk about everything else except for the hostages you're getting out of the Middle East, Iran on its back foot, sea lanes getting reopened, peace in Europe. As we just saw today with the Black Sea ceasefire we were just on with Iran.
Steve Witkoff, myself, our team in Saudi Arabia, they wanna talk about all this other stuff except for your amazing successes and the successes of your team.
And again, what success? You now have all of our former allies saying they don't even wanna buy weapons from the United States because you're saying you're gonna provide them essentially with defective weaponry. Oh, and then by the way, Donald Trump has said, you know, maybe we'll use Signal again. Maybe we'll communicate via this social media app
even more because sometimes you just need to be quick, so you need to use signal. No, you don't. It is inherently a violation of the Espionage Act. And talking about sources, methods, and war plans is clearly classified information. Here, play this clip.
Exactly things like that, but I don't think it's something we're looking forward to using again. We may be forced to use it. You may be in a situation where you need
uh speed as opposed to gross safety and you may be forced to use it but generally speaking i think we probably won't be using it very much we geek out for a minute on something i think it's going to be helpful for you it's called fatty 15 its co-founder dr stephanie vin watson discovered c15 as the first essential fatty acid to be found in 90 years while working with the u.s navy to improve
Prove the health and welfare of aging dolphins. It's pretty simple. Essential nutrients keep our cells healthy, which keeps us healthy. So if you want to get sciencey about it, studies show that C15, it works by strengthening our cells, improving our mitochondrial function. and protecting us against damaging free radicals.
So if you feel like, how could I stop aging faster, or I'm sleeping poorly, or feeling sluggish, the bottom line is that many of us are deficient in C15, which results in weaker cells, which results in those things. So fatty 15 is the science fact award-winning vegan and pure C15 supplement that steps in and helps. It works in multiple ways. It repairs age-related damage to cells.
It protects them from future breakdowns.
