Valuetainment - “Waltz Went Rogue” - Trump Fires Security Advisor Over Alleged Link to Israel

00:00:00.000 Inside, Waltz's ouster, okay, before SignalGate, talks with Israel, angered Trump.

00:00:08.940 All right, so let's go through this here.

00:00:10.600 Let me read this story to you guys.

00:00:12.240 President Trump ousted National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

00:00:14.540 This is WAPO, so you just know you know who's writing it.

00:00:17.620 A former Green Bay officer, due to frustrations over his hawkish stance,

00:00:22.580 particularly after Waltz coordinated with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu

00:00:25.240 on the military options against Iran,

00:00:26.760 with a source saying Waltz wanted to take U.S. policy in a direction Trump wasn't comfortable with

00:00:32.700 because the U.S. hadn't attempted a diplomatic solution.

00:00:35.760 His inclusion of a journalist in a sensitive signal group chat

00:00:39.740 and Martz sealed his fate to Trump nominate Waltz as ambassador to the United Nations.

00:00:43.960 The ouster, influenced by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles,

00:00:47.100 view that Waltz was not a good fit prompted some officials to question the need

00:00:52.600 for a traditional National Security Council with one official stating

00:00:55.460 some of that just happens through the working process

00:00:58.700 as Trump prefers loyalists like Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

00:01:02.400 his interim replacement, who has shed traditionalist views to align with Trump's agenda.

00:01:09.900 Vinny, I'm coming to you first.

00:01:10.920 All right, guys, so I don't know.

00:01:12.120 First of all, it's so wild that this story wasn't talked about longer

00:01:17.060 than just the, you know, half a day that it was on.

00:01:19.700 So basically, I'm going to break it down.

00:01:21.520 On May 3rd, Trump basically got rid of Mike Waltz, fired him.

00:01:24.740 And he was serving as National Security Advisor.

00:01:26.540 And just to remind everybody, Mike Waltz is the same guy

00:01:28.820 who accidentally added a journalist to the highly sensitive signal group chat

00:01:32.420 where top officials were discussing attack plans in Yemen.

00:01:35.940 All right, he tried to claim, and he's on camera saying it,

00:01:38.580 that the contact was sucked in, whatever the hell that means.

00:01:42.660 That alone should have gotten fired.

00:01:44.140 But for some reason, Trump kept them around.

00:01:46.040 Fast forward to May 1st on my birthday.

00:01:47.580 I remember this.

00:01:48.440 He got caught using signal chat during a cabinet meeting.

00:01:51.540 Brandon, you have that photo that I have.

00:01:52.900 But it wasn't just the regular app that we use,

00:01:57.320 and we use Signal when we leave the country.

00:01:58.900 All right, guys?

00:01:59.420 It was something called TM Signal, an Israeli-modified version

00:02:04.080 with archiving features designed to relay and store potential classified info.

00:02:09.300 Then, May 3rd, Washington Post reported that he was fired

00:02:12.440 after engaging in intense coordination with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

00:02:16.900 about military operations against Iran ahead of Bibi's Oval Office meeting.

00:02:21.640 So, basically, okay, Walt was going behind Trump's back,

00:02:25.800 strategizing with a foreign head of state about striking Iran's nuclear sites.

00:02:30.460 Okay?

00:02:30.920 Trump found out about that, didn't seem well.

00:02:33.000 Is that confirmed?

00:02:33.720 These are all confirmed.

00:02:35.040 This is all Washington Post.

00:02:36.360 This is a Washington Post article.

00:02:37.940 So, what is that story with the text?

00:02:40.200 Go back to the signal thing?

00:02:41.540 What do they show within that picture?

00:02:42.740 So, they're showing that he's on TM Signal.

00:02:47.160 He's on the Israeli app.

00:02:49.560 It's going back and forth with Israel.

00:02:51.960 This is an Israeli intelligence app.

00:02:53.800 This isn't the signal that we use.

00:02:56.140 This is going back and forth with Israel in the meeting.

00:02:58.580 This guy is a freaking moron.

00:03:00.820 Just a complete moron.

00:03:02.240 Like, he didn't learn his lessons, okay?

00:03:03.680 And then the article even says, Pat, at the top,

00:03:06.080 the view by some in the administration was that Walt was trying to tip the scales

00:03:10.820 in favor of military action and was operating hand-in-glove with the Israelis, okay?

00:03:17.500 And, by the way, it doesn't get worse than that, all right?

00:03:20.240 Our national security advisor is sitting in a cabinet meeting,

00:03:24.180 going back and forth, texting with a foreign government, okay?

00:03:26.720 And then somebody, one of Trump's advisors said,

00:03:29.460 you can't do that.

00:03:30.560 This is in quotations.

00:03:31.780 And, Brandon, it's in that article.

00:03:32.920 You can't do that.

00:03:34.240 You work for the president of your country, not a president of another country, okay?

00:03:38.920 If you think about it, that's kind of, that's borderline treason, Pat.

00:03:42.280 You can't work hand-in-glove with a foreign leader to push military action 0.99

00:03:45.960 behind the president's back, okay?

00:03:48.060 And then your punishment, instead of getting, like, in deep shit, guess what happens?

00:03:52.200 He gets nominated.

00:03:53.020 He's not in yet.

00:03:54.300 Nominated to be the ambassador of the United Nations.

00:03:56.720 Which he'll probably get.

00:03:58.260 And now there's reports out there that Trump has now cut off direct contact

00:04:02.220 with Bibi Netanyahu.

00:04:03.820 Reports from Israeli Army Radio and other outlets say Trump team

00:04:07.280 told Israeli officials they believe Bibi was trying to manipulate him,

00:04:11.000 especially when it came to Iran and Syria, and Trump wasn't having it, okay?

00:04:14.640 And then just three days ago, Trump dropped the requirements for Saudi Arabia

00:04:18.740 to normalize relations with Israel as part of the nuclear deal with the U.S.,

00:04:23.160 which means Trump basically said to Saudi Arabia,

00:04:25.480 you don't need to be friends with Israel to make a deal with us. 0.71

00:04:28.240 And that condition now is off the table.

00:04:30.480 And it's kind of, if you think about it, Pat, yes, Israel's our ally,

00:04:33.440 but that type of sneaky going behind the door, Trump does not play that shit.

00:04:37.660 He's all about peace.

00:04:38.520 He's all about diplomacy.

00:04:39.860 You're in there using a different Israeli app to tell them what the hell's going on in a meeting. 0.55

00:04:44.540 And listen, again, I could criticize Israel as the government,

00:04:48.980 and it has nothing to do with Jewish people, but Bibi Netanyahu,

00:04:51.720 how many times has he come to our Congress and said,

00:04:54.480 we should strike these people, we should go to war here?

00:04:57.000 When he said about Iraq, you know what he said about Iraq?

00:04:59.140 He said, and I quote,

00:05:00.040 I guarantee, I guarantee if we take out Saddam Hussein, 0.98

00:05:04.200 it would have enormous positive reverberations around the region.

00:05:07.600 And it didn't.

00:05:08.600 You doing that type of shit and trying to get us into another war behind Trump's back,

00:05:13.160 he found out, he fired him, and he's not happy with it.

00:05:15.700 Adam.

00:05:15.980 I think it's great.

00:05:16.600 So, this guy's Mike Waltz.

00:05:21.620 Mike Waltz.

00:05:22.440 His name keeps popping up here.

00:05:24.120 And if he did anything to jeopardize American security and American authority

00:05:29.460 and the Trump presidency, he should be fired.

00:05:32.560 But as I continue to remind you, don't pay attention to what Trump says.

00:05:37.160 Watch what he does.

00:05:38.380 So, you know, you were saying that he should be fired.

00:05:40.480 We should let go of this guy.

00:05:41.460 It's like, well, he keeps being a part of the administration,

00:05:44.420 and he's just nominated for the United Nations.

00:05:47.180 So, could it be that this is just smoke and not actual fire

00:05:51.100 and people are running with the story and just putting it out there

00:05:54.080 and not having enough information?

00:05:55.780 I don't know.

00:05:56.700 This is not something that I want to take a strong stance on

00:05:59.680 because I don't know Mike Waltz.

00:06:00.860 I don't know the situation.

00:06:02.380 A lot of hearsay here.

00:06:04.700 But it's reported.

00:06:05.640 You didn't read into the story.

00:06:07.580 Well, now all of a sudden you believe everything the Washington Post says?

00:06:10.060 No, no, no.

00:06:10.760 Adam, I'm just telling you from all the reports that I've heard,

00:06:13.280 the guy got in trouble for leaking and putting somebody in the chat.

00:06:17.080 Then he's on camera.

00:06:18.740 They took photos of him doing it.

00:06:20.160 So did Pete Hegseth.

00:06:20.780 But he continues to have a job.

00:06:22.720 Adam, I understand where your stance is coming from,

00:06:24.520 but I did the research, and all the reporting is pointing at

00:06:27.720 the guy was communicating with Israel in a cabinet meeting

00:06:31.180 to push for war with Iran.

00:06:32.780 You can't do that.

00:06:34.580 And what's his position, Mike Waltz?

00:06:36.120 He was in national security.

00:06:37.220 He was.

00:06:37.660 So that's on him.

00:06:39.960 Okay, he's fired.

00:06:40.780 Is he fired?

00:06:41.600 What do you mean on him?

00:06:42.180 He was communicating with Israel and Bibi Netanyahu.

00:06:44.900 That's not good.

00:06:45.740 To me, the country he's communicating with is almost secondary.

00:06:50.160 It's not irrelevant, but it's secondary.

00:06:52.100 You're an American.

00:06:53.240 You work for America. 0.69

00:06:54.560 You work for the Trump administration.

00:06:56.660 Your loyalty is to America.

00:06:58.520 What are you doing?

00:06:59.600 Whether you're talking to the UK, whether you're talking to South Korea,

00:07:02.220 whether you're talking to Israel, whether you're talking to China or a foe,

00:07:06.040 what are you doing?

00:07:07.120 Make sure that you're abiding by the Trump administration's guidelines.

00:07:11.020 A hundred percent.

00:07:11.680 That's my number one thing.

00:07:12.820 It's America.

00:07:12.920 It's the Constitution.

00:07:13.360 That's my number one thing.

00:07:14.260 Did he go behind Trump's back?

00:07:16.300 Yes.

00:07:16.780 Or not?

00:07:17.300 Yes.

00:07:17.560 So it is on him.

00:07:18.640 Okay, but.

00:07:19.100 Of course, every country, no matter who they are, have their own self-interest

00:07:23.540 and will perpetuate their own ideology and goals.

00:07:27.540 Yeah, of course.

00:07:28.180 Pushing us into, hold on, Adam, I agree.

00:07:29.820 Whatever it is.

00:07:31.120 I agree one thousand percent.

00:07:32.280 My point is, this is on, who's this on?

00:07:34.520 I'm going to tell you right now.

00:07:35.500 This is on Mike Walsh.

00:07:36.140 Okay, and Israel and Bibi Netanyahu.

00:07:39.220 Because if you're going to claim that you're our biggest ally, then what are we talking about?

00:07:43.520 Trump, Trump is the most pro-Israel president.

00:07:46.220 Pulls off of the chair.

00:07:47.340 Respects the hell out of him.

00:07:48.520 But you're going to go behind his back and try to push for a war?

00:07:51.380 What did Trump say?

00:07:52.720 Trump fired the guy.

00:07:53.960 He's gone.

00:07:54.280 What did Trump say about Netanyahu?

00:07:56.800 What did he actually do?

00:07:58.600 Because all I hear is a lot of hearsay.

00:08:00.300 Adam, there's just reports everywhere that they're canceling.

00:08:03.000 Even Pete Hexeth was supposed to go to Israel.

00:08:05.100 He canceled the trip.

00:08:05.960 He's in Saudi Arabia right now.

00:08:07.500 I'm just saying, Adam, what I'm saying are facts.

00:08:10.620 What he did was obviously wrong.

00:08:11.940 I don't know if what you're saying is facts.

00:08:13.520 I think you're reading stories and you're reading into it.

00:08:16.380 That's fine.

00:08:16.880 This is called doing my homework and doing my research, and I did it.

00:08:20.380 I'm trying to see what, Adam, what are you trying to say?

00:08:22.340 So what I'm trying to say is this is on.

00:08:23.920 If he screwed up, it's on him.

00:08:25.380 Yes.

00:08:25.600 Okay, great.

00:08:25.980 Then what?

00:08:26.420 You don't think every single prime minister, president, leader is trying to influence Trump in some way?

00:08:34.080 Everyone is.

00:08:35.080 You don't think she is sending his diplomats to try to influence Trump?

00:08:38.940 You don't think Iran is sending their influence to try to influence Trump during their nuclear negotiations?

00:08:44.940 It's the same for any country.

00:08:46.880 It is on the job of the administration, the person representing the United States, to hold the line and say, no, this is what Trump wants to do.

00:08:53.740 He didn't do it.

00:08:54.160 That's what he's saying.

00:08:54.720 That's my point.

00:08:55.340 Okay.

00:08:55.800 Now, if I had a country I'd be worried about, it would not be Israel as an American.

00:09:01.760 Why?

00:09:02.560 Well, because there's a country called Iran.

00:09:04.980 That he's trying to push us to go to war with, and Americans are going to die, Adam.

00:09:07.760 Can I finish my point?

00:09:08.660 That's what I don't like.

00:09:09.460 So, by the way, did you hear the story about this $400 million luxury airplane that Qatar has gifted Trump?

00:09:17.140 Yeah.

00:09:17.620 Okay.

00:09:18.020 What do you know about Qatar?

00:09:19.600 What do you know about Qatar?

00:09:21.100 Well, are we changing the topic?

00:09:24.060 Because I'm still confused that Mike Walz is wrong.

00:09:26.840 But you think it's okay for a national security advisor, okay, that's sworn into office, sitting in there using a freaking Israeli communication app going directly with another government?

00:09:38.600 Vinny, we've already talked about this.

00:09:39.540 I do not think it's okay.

00:09:41.060 The lemon campaign has become a massive hit.

00:09:44.020 This is a gift that gets sent to people who are maybe going through a challenging season right now with a lemon hat.

00:09:49.880 But the whole campaign, the thought is about when life gives you lemons, which a lot of people have had that maybe recently.

00:09:55.040 If you know anybody, it is so amazing because you get to write a message on the inside while you're sending it to someone, and it brightens their day.

00:10:01.540 There's a message I'm giving to the person that's receiving it.

00:10:03.980 I want to read you a couple of the notes without the names, but I want you to hear what this is doing.

00:10:08.380 I know things have been rough for you, but I hope this gift puts a smile on your face and some encouragement.

00:10:12.400 You are amazingly talented, and I know you will make it through.

00:10:15.260 Hang in there.

00:10:15.820 Love, ma.

00:10:17.480 Brother, I know life has been challenging.

00:10:19.480 I want to say I'm proud of you and keeping everything together, staying true to yourself.

00:10:23.740 I love you, and I know you can shoulder this, and we'll be a better person about it.

00:10:27.860 You ready for this next one?

00:10:29.200 This next one's awesome.

00:10:30.740 You are one of the strongest people I know.

00:10:32.660 Your recovery from brain surgery has been difficult, but you are getting stronger every day.

00:10:42.700 Happy Mother's Day and happy birthday.
