TMI Show Ep 103: “A Signal Leak: Trumps Blab Classified Info”

In this episode of The TMI Show, hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan dive into a stunning security breach involving top Trump administration officials. The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was accidentally added to a Signal group chat named "Houthi PC small group," where senior figures—including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz—discussed classified plans for U.S. military strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.

The chat contained operational details like targets and timing, with Hegseth outlining the attack two hours before bombs fell in Sanaa. Despite using encrypted Signal, the inclusion of a journalist exposed a glaring violation of security protocols, sparking outrage over the administration’s handling of sensitive information. The White House confirmed the chat’s authenticity, launching a review into how Goldberg’s number was added. This episode explores the fallout and implications of this unprecedented leak—how it undermines national security, the legal risks for officials involved, and its impact on public trust. Join Ted and Manila for an unfiltered look at this explosive story rocking Washington.
