LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): When you look at these texts in their entirety -- of course, more were released today -- they show a serious and thoughtful group of advisers trying to carry out the clear wishes of the duly elected and totally competent commander in chief. Sure, we're going to find out, again, who put the Trump-hating Goldberg on the chat chain and why, but it's abundantly clear that none of this put national security at risk. And there was no risk to our troops and the entire world is safer because of the actions that our troops took. Now, some of us are actually happier about that, others are rooting for the United States to fail.
What's also clear, rather than getting off the text chain immediately and contacting the administration through back channels, which would have been the proper and appropriate thing to do, The Atlantic editor held the information, and what did he do? He dumped it right before the important hearing of the Senate select committee on intelligence. Now, Goldberg obviously wanted to do as much damage to the Trump administration as possible for maximum impact. The fact is, The Atlantic views MAGA and Trump as the real villains of the world, much worse than the CCP, much worse than Hamas.
What the media will not and cannot address is that the mission to destroy key Houthi targets was itself a huge success. So, I think we should judge a policy by its outcome, not by unintended error in transmission. And it's an error, by the way, that all parties have learned from.
