BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): The messages weren't classified. The information on there wasn't classified. In fact, the information on there looks incredible and immaculate for the Trump administration. Let's get these texts up. And more importantly, let's get up The Atlantic totally changing its story. The Atlantic has now stealth edited the war plans, sophisticated war plans to attack plan. You can see right here. We have an attack — it's now an attack plan. It's not a war plan, you see. ALX, please grab that Taylor tweet. And so they've changed the entire narrative — yeah. There it is — they've changed the whole — here's the attack plan, Trump adviser shared on Signal.

We read through all of these. Actually, it makes the Trump administration look incredible. But let's read through them together, shall we? And I'm, like, sorry for this belabored setup, but, like, you gotta see exactly how this thing is falling to pieces, why they're doing it. They have to launch an op. They have to do something. They have to run some hoax. Everything's going too well for Trump. They have to stop him at all costs, including, maybe, using a backdoor splinter cell group inside the CIA to surreptitiously and illegally add a journalist, the worst possible journalist on earth, to add to this chat to sneak him in there so he could spy on Trump. That's what's going on here. This is a new spygate. Why didn't this dude just say — why didn't this — why didn't Jeffrey Goldberg say, yo, guys, I'm the editor of the Atlantic. Y'all wanna talk to me offline? Let me know. But I'm not gonna sit here and lurk on your chat. This is unethical, actually.
