"the ingraham angle" with laura is up next. ♪ >> laura: good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" in washington tonight. in moments mike waltz joins us

here on the angling exclusively to respond to the national security text chain leak. but, first, an inadvertent error involving technology. the encrypted app. signal. and multiple trump administration officials discussing military strikes against yemeni targets. now, some background here. the signal app. is commonly used by government officials that reportedly includes the biden administration. we're going to confirm that it also commonly is used among members of the press. but, in this case, a trump hating editor of "the atlantic," jeffrey goldberg, ended up on a march 14th signal chat that included the vice president, the secretary of defense, pete hegseth, the deputy chief of staff, stephen miller, the national security adviser mike waltz, and numerous other intel officers. well, the signal discussion published interesting and actually quite nuanced a back and forth team intellect and

mutual respect. some of what was said, the team labeled j.d. vance i think we are making a mistake. 3% runs through the suez. '0% of european. there is a real risk public doesn't understand why this is necessary. the strongest reason to do this as potus said to send a message. later on a message from secretary hegseth's account said waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus to immediate risks on waiting. one, leaks and we look indecisive. two israel takes a action first or gaza cease-fire falls apart and we don't get to start this on our own terms. we can manage both. now, naturally, the democrats jumped on this as a prosecutable offense making all sorts of outland dish claims. >> it's likely the biggest national security national security debacle that any professional can be remember. >> at best secretary hegseth showed a colossal lack of

judgment. >> it's a test for congressional republicans, who, if they have any integrity, know this is a serious matter. >> secretary of defense pete hegseth should resign earlier today tulsi gabbard addressed the nature of the communication there is a difference between inadvertent release versus. >> careless and sloppy. >> malicious leaks of classified information. the second point is there was no classified information. >> in the committee -- >> laura: then at the same select senate intel hearing cia director john ratcliffe offered some important context. >> one of the things i was briefed on very early, senator, was by the cia records management folks about the use of signal as a permissible work use. it is. that is a practice that preceded the current administration to the biden administration. >> director ratcliffe -- >> laura: then the president himself addressed the matter head on. bottom line mistakes happen and

we are going to learn from them. >> i always say you have to learn from every experience. i think it was very unfair the way they attacked michael. he's a good person. the main thing was nothing happened. the attack was totally successful. it was, i guess from what i understand, took place during and it wasn't classified information. so this was not classified. >> laura: the point here is thank goodness u.s. national security was not and will not be compromised by this mistake and nor was our credibility. presumably now, the parties involved will have learned an important lessons. joining us now one of the principles who was on that signal chat, national security adviser mike waltz, adviser waltz, thank you for joining us tonight. >> you are welcome. >> laura: the president expressed complete confidence in you today and his entire cabinet. how did a trump hating editor of "the atlantic" end up on your signal chat? >> you know laura i'm not a conspiracy theorists of all the people out there somehow this guy who has lied about the

president who has lied to gold star families and their attorneys and gone to russia hoax, gone to all kinds of links to lie and smear the president of the united states and he's the one that somehow gets on somebody's contact and then gets sucked into this group. >> laura: is someone in your intel team trying to cause trouble here? because that's the scuttlebutt out there. >> look. we have people -- no. look. this is a great group. the president has a great team. this is not first term. >> laura: your team i'm not talking about the other principles. >> these are principles and a couple of staff that were coordinating as you saw having a policy discussion. as we went forward. and then just in the days before what was an incredible strike. not only did we take out people that the biden team never could, that they book out headquarters. missile cachets, and actually one of the leaders of the houthi

organization we have since taken out several since. that's what they don't want to talk about the success here. they don't want to talk about the hostages getting released and the black sea cease-fire that we just put in place today as the president ends the largest land war in europe or the border, or the fact that panama just kicked china out of the canal and success after success. so they want to focus on this. it's embarrassing, yes. we're going to get to the bottom of it. we have -- i just talked to elon on the way here, we have the best technical minds looking at how this happened. but i can tell you i can tell you for 100 percent i don't know this guy. i know him by his horrible reputation and he really is the bottom scum of journalists. and i know him in the sense that he wasn't on my phone. we will figure out what happened. >> laura: you don't know what staffer is responsible for this right now. >> look, a staffer wasn't

responsible. i take full responsibility. my job is to make sure severing coordinated. >> laura: how did. >> have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name and then you have somebody else's number. >> laura: i never make those mistakes. >> have you somebody else's numbers on someone else's contacted. of course i didn't see this loser in the group. it looks like someone else. whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean is what we are trying to figure out. >> laura: a staffer did not put his contact information. >> no of course not. >> how did it get. >> that's what we're trying to figure out. >> laura: that's a pretty big problem. >> we have the best technical minds, right? >> laura: that's disturbing. >> i'm sure everybody out there has had a contact where it was said one person and then a different phone number. >> laura: but you have never talked to him before, how is the number on your phone? i'm not an expert on any of this. how is the number on your phone. >> if you have somebody else's contact and then somehow.

>> >> laura: somebody sent that you contact? was there someone else supposed to be on the chat that wasn't on the chat that you thought? >> the person i thought was on there was never on there. it was this guy. >> laura: who was that? person. >> look, laura, i take responsibility. i built the group. >> laura: okay. but, look, that's the part that we have to figure out. and that's the part that we embarrassing, yes. but, pete and i are veterans. we know these operations. he has been an excellent secretary of defense, and this was an operation that -- i mean, it amazes me, i guess the democrats were fine to leave all the sea lanes shut down. fine have destroyers fired on dozens of times by this terrorist group. and fine to have iran keep supplying the missiles, that was okay. the president takes decisive action and now we're seeing some real success in taking down their air defenses, opening the sea lanes, taking out their leadership. we don't want to talk about that.

>> laura: "the atlantic" told news part the attempts to discredit us in our reporting follow an playbook by officials and others in power hostile to journalists and first amendment rights of all americans. they are saying don't blame the messenger. any response? >> lied about russia, lied about gold star families, lied about even last, what, year, in terms of the president paying for the family of a gold star family that he absolutely did. lie after lie after lie. >> laura: have they ever apologized for any of that? >> no. i mean, this is -- do we care about the mainstream media? do we cared about atlantic? what i care about is staying focused on mission. accomplishing the president's agenda. getting these things done. cleaning up the biden messes from afghanistan to ukraine, to the houthis, to the border, to china, all over south america. to the artic where we are meetly exsupposed to nato that's not paying up. and the president has had

success after success. he has got a task national security team. >> laura: i mean, i think it's just stunning how many people on the team have his 100 percent trust and there have been enormous says early on in this duration, but you all are ratling the old cages of the establishment defense and national security embedded people who are still working government. a lot of great people. but the concern is that somebody got involved here who didn't want the president to be successful. a lot of us are concerned about that. that someone is in this orbit who doesn't want this president of the united states to be a raging success and turn our foreign policy into an america first approach. >> look, we made a mistake. we're moving forward. and we're going to continue to knock it out of the park for this president. look at what he has gotten done in under two months. and i didn't even get going on

the economy, on trade, or all of those other. >> laura: april 2nd is coming. >> yeah, liberation day. >> laura: the dni was very adamant. chat. the democrats are going to jump on this. should goldberg just release the other information that he has because he is standing on this well, i'm not going to release this information because i have my standards and journalist stick standards. okay. it's not classified information. does it matter. >> look. i would prefer as the president was say going we could all sit in a steel lined lead room and have all of these conversations. i certainly want our deliberations to stay confidential. this was an encrypted app. that the cia had on sitting there as john ratcliffe was confirmed and walked into the building from the prior administration. it's on other agency apps. and so, no, of course i don't want it all out there.

because these were conversations back and forth that you should be able to have confidentially. but, what you also saw was a healthy policy debate and how we are going to achieve this for the president, what would be the results, what should be the timeline, and i think, again, i am fortunate to work for this president. i am fortunate to help him execute this vision. and incredibly fortunate to have this team around him. >> laura: but there is no classified information in this exchange? >> no classified information. >> laura: but you prefer it not to be out? >> of course. do you want everything -- >> laura: well, i don't work for the government. this is why texting in general is in government situations -- >> -- i get it as the president said if weekend all stay in the same room. >> laura: he has always been like that. >> got people moving. as he said again today that would be his preference and i think all of our preference. when you ask people all over the world and coordinating complex operations. we are moving at trump speed fast. doing august of this. we are cleaning up.

i mean, we are doing five or six legacy defining things in the first month. and we're cleaning up multiple biden messes from the middle east to europe, to, again, to the mess of our border. all at once at the same time. >> laura: you don't need any distractions. you don't need any side stories or distractions and i think people are watching this, most americans don't -- they wanted answers, the bottom line, you know, about russia, about ukraine, about china. but they read stuff like oh, wait, there was a 202 3-d od memo that said you shouldn't use signal. you heard ratcliffe today saying it was commonly used. doesn't there needs to be a standard across the board? >> absolutely. >> laura: don't use any of these apps? how do you communicate when you are not that scif? >> that's what you heard elon talking about kind of the mess that is government communications. i could tell you members of that team, i have been very frustrated about, you know, the quality of our communications, we are working to address.

that's one of the things that doge is doing. is improving our it, is improving our ability to communicate. and to the extent we get everybody nut same room, always better. >> laura: yeah, always better. so you have never met goldberg. is he out there saying you guys have met in the past. have you never met him? >> no idea. i wouldn't know him if i bumped into him or saw him in a police lineup. i do now. i knew him about reputation for lying about the president over and over and over again. what i can tell you for certain, certainly wasn't reaching out or talking to him at all. why would i? >> laura: he has been one of the most vociferous. >> vile. >> laura: so-called journalist out there in "the atlantic." >> near and dear to my heart as a veteran is lying about gold star families who love this president, veterans who love this president. and are thanking god he is president and commander-in-chief once again. and then you have a -- then you have a defense secretary who this morning i was talking to is working out with the navy seals out in honolulu leading you,

improving morale. improving recruiting. improving lethality. working with doge to improve efficiency and get our war fighters back to meritocracy-mission focused. again, laura, this team believes in this president. this team likes each other. knows each other, is working. was there a mistake? absolutely. we are going to improve it. we are going to fix it and move forward to achieve the president's agenda. >> why was bessent on this text change? i was curious about that. why would scott bessent? >> because you have a sanctions regime. again, right you? had biden just literally they would swarm our destroyers with drones, cruise missiles, uavs. at first he would allow them to just shoot them down and then pinprick attack and four months would do go by. shut down shipping. 75% of global commerce is getting re-routed. the world owes the president a favor or excuse me a thank you for taking this on and fixing

this problem and that is dry up their money. dry up their supply chain from iran hold on iran accountable. go after the missiles. go after the leadership. if you are going to move against the terrorist group. you take them out. and that's exactly what this team was doing. >> laura: i was relieved to see the nature of the exchange among you. it's kind of cool regular feel see how do these decisions get made with the president and obviously miller is representation the president. i actually thought it was really refreshing to see you all seem to have mutual respect. no one is blowing off another person's opinion. none of us know anything about how decisions were made in the biden administration. nothing. or if he was even there. >> who was deciding. not how decisions were made. who was actually deciding because, clearly, clearly, it wasn't him. but you see this healthy back and forth. this respectful back and forth. different points of view. but, at the end of the day, we're executing the president's

vision, the president's direction. keeping it all coordinating and moving at trump warp speed to do it all at once. i mean, not only have the media been on their back foot and the democrats been on their back foot. all of our adversaries are on their back foot. in terms of how to respond to him and the pace with which he moves. >> laura: are we going to end this ukraine war soon? >> we just had the next step today. we have had an energy aerial cease-fire. we just defined what those targets are that are now off limits on both sides are to de-escalate that now we are going to the black sea. the president is determined to end the war. you have the nato secretary general, nato, looking at the president in the oval office saying you broke the logjam. just month ago, no one was talking. now we are going from if this war will ever end and endless war, people, treasure, material to now how it will end. and, of course the people that were in endless war camp are

going to criticize how this president is going to end it, but is he going to drive it to an end and it's an honor to be a part of it. >> laura: and lessons learned. lessons learned. we are not using signal app. anymore. >> right. lesson learned number one is you have got journalists out there who have made fame and fortune trying to trash this president. >> laura: yeah. >> so, look, we have got to tighten up. we are tightening up and we have some of the best technology minds looking at how it's hand. >> laura: it's happened to the best of us. president trump just -- needs to distractions. he needs, you know, pedal to the metal. >> # hundred percent. laura, it's the honor of a lifetime to work for him. >> laura: i really appreciate you come in. kind of confusing set of facts thank you very much, sir, we appreciate it? >> absolutely. >> laura: the media finally thinks they found the new watergate. listen to their glee. >> these conversations should happen on government servers, on classified servers and scifs. so simple, so easy, so sloppy to add a journalist from the atlantic instead and, goldberg

was patriotic. he didn't tell anybody. he didn't go out and share the war plans, of course. he just listened in and tried to figure out if this was real or not and apparently it was all too real. >> looking at a situation where there is zero accountability at all, where if there is a traditional rally sort of a around the maga flag so long as they remain loyal to trump. think about what this -- the message this sends to the military. >> raises the question how many of these chats are out there on different national security issues. >> laura: oh now they are worried about national security. we have seen this play out how many sometimes? church's phoney impeachments. the russian collusion hoax. we can go on and on. joining me now byron york, fox news contributor. ned ryun founder and ceo of american jo byron, thoughts on the interview? >> well, you asked all the right questions. there are really too big -- when you just look at what happened. there are two big questions. and the first one, how did this happen?

how did this very well-known trump hating editor end up on this thread? and the other thing was there any classified information? and he was more clear, i think, than anybody even at the hearings today. that was not any classified information. and, it would be good to know more about that. i can understand the idea that just because it's not classified doesn't mean they want it to be public. i understand that. but it would be a good idea to get more of that out. and as far as how it happened, it's still just boggles the mind that if there was going to be some outsider who inadvertently ends up on this it would be jeffrey goldberg. it boggles the mind you were suspicious or skeptic and that's reasonable it's a heck of a coincidence. we need to know how it happened. >> laura: ned, you got the sense that mike waltz is not going to throw a staffer under the bus at this juncture. they are going to try to figure it out. i think all of us have been in this situation where you text. i just did that today with sam.

it hans. someone gets on the wrong. this is obviously a difficult situation. someone sent a contact to him and it had this number in it. and he just -- it was just entered into his system as another trump cabinet member, it sounds like. so, i mean, that's what i got from this. your reaction to what mike waltz said? >> i have questions. i would reiterate what byron just said. we are seeing reports that alex waltz's deputy at nsa might have been the one that included goldberg's number was a mistake? was it intentional? i mean, i think that's the whole story to me in this entire situation. there was no classified information, there were no war plans being shared. the story to me is how did goldberg the known trump hater get into this chat. was it intentional?

they need to understand who did this and how it happened like you said earlier, laura. i thought it was refreshing. cohesive. very good conversation. they are trying to implement trump's america first policy. and they n. a clearly forceful and rationale way. and i love j.d. vance's comments on, you know, this is actually benefiting the europeans. we'll have a conversation about this. >> laura: me too. >> in support of it. again, just reiterating what j.d. said, the europeans continue to free load off 6 us as we do the heavy lifting. i love the conversation and again the whole story is where did goldberg's contact info come from? no respectable member of trump administration's should have goldberg's phone number anywhere near their phone book. >> laura: my concern is either a totally weird fluke mistake or somebody is regularly talking or occasionally talking otherwise

you don't have the number in your phone, right, to jeffrey goldberg. >> do you have to worry about that maybe there are viewers who are not familiar with the atlantic magazine. it is basically the leading resistance magazine. and just as an organization. it hates donald trump. and it wants him to fail if there is some sort of weird connection there it has to be ferreted out. >> >> laura: other than that, i thought waltz was very clear. >> i think is he trying to be as clear as can he in the middle of this situation. >> i don't think he feels comfortable having a completely hobbit conversation on national television about what actually happened trump of all people deserves to know actually what happened. i think the house is going to get to the bottom of this issue to understand how goldberg got in this chat. >> laura: i will tell you who will elon musk.

he will get to the bottom of it. >> correct. >> laura: thank you so much both of you. the lunatics on the left are continuing their rampage against innocent americans. a tesla owner whose car was vandalized reacts, next. ♪ hey we're going big tonight let's go safety whoa! should i call mom? no, no don't tell your mother anything

why does this race matter so much? >> little did i know when i got into this race 16 months ago that we were going to be called the most important race in america in 2025 and little did i know that we would shatter the record of 56 million spent two years ago on the last supreme court race now it's expected to go over 100 million on a court race in wisconsin. the reason why? my opponent got caught by the "new york times" oh a month and a half ago or so getting on a zoom call with our state democratic party chair and billionaire leftist donor reed hoffman, promising that if she got elected on the court they would turn two republican congressional seats into democrat congressional seats. now, just yesterday, the minority leader in our state -- in our house of representatives, hakeem jeffries got caught saying the quiet thing out loud, also, repeating that same promise that we have got get her on the court and then the court

are hoping they can cut him off at the knees by having the house of representatives flip to democrats. >> yeah. so everyone watching, who wants to get involved here, if you want to ensure that president trump is able to push forward with his agenda for all four years, that means you have to keep the house of representatives. i think you've said this, judge. that you could expect an attempt to impeach president trump again in 2027 and all that nonsense, if you don't win this race. >> certainly all those things are possibilities if democrats get back in charge of the house of representatives. certainly they are going to do everything they can to try hammer him. hamhamper him. when the leftists took it over two years ago, they began going through a political agenda. and they are legislating from the bench. >> well, judge schimel we are 100 percent behind you. keep fighting. we will be covering this every step of the way.

executive order. it makes all the sense in the world it. shim delivering on the mandate for common sense. which is that only citizens should vote news elections. that's intuitive. any other country arnold the world shouldn't find that controversial either. the fact of the matter opportunity. where you cite that challenge. you are right about that, is some court somewhere going to get in the way of pretty much every one of these executive orders, yes. we have a 6-3 majority on the u.s. supreme court. one of the things i would like to see is for any action challenging an action of the u.s.s. president, a sitting executive of the u.s. government, we have to have a fast pat to the u.s. supreme court is. get to the u.s. supreme court. and the good news is once we do. that decision will then back stop, i hope, the right answer in the form of u.s. precedent that outlives any one presidency. so, where there is a challenge, there is almost always an opportunity. that the opportunity i see here. i would like to see some of those cases move even faster through the appeals process to the supreme court. especially when it involves a judgment of the u.s. president.

i think that should be a special case that's accelerated. but, if so, i see a great opportunity to lock in not just on the time scales of election. >> laura: you bet. >> history these common sense principles. >> laura: that means congress has to step in and limit the way the courts operate, which is well within their rights to do. vivek, it's great to see you as always. thank you so much. and a democrat goes low to mock a paralyzed republican and a maga hater face plants. jimmy failla has it all. coming up next. ♪ don't use if allergic to xiidra and seek medical help if needed. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort, blurred vision, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. before using xiidra, remove contact lenses and wait fifteen minutes before re-inserting. dry eye over and over? it's time for xiidra.

you have republicans using signal and elizabeth warren using smoke signal, i really don't know who the bad guy is here at this point. but i have seen the democrats do worst things for our national security then send an encrypted text message to their bodies i will side with the republicans with all due respect. >> laura: we had a president who wasn't even competent for four years and we're talking about national security concerns? these guys were backing up a guy who could not get off the stage! those -- there is a mistake made here by they don't care about national security, if they did they would not have biden in there and try to put kamala harris next. jamie, thank you as always. that is interest tonight, make sure to follow me on a social, remember it is the ingraham angle and jesse matters is next to. >> jesse: welcome to 'jesse watters primetime'. >> president
