On Monday, The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg revealed in a shocking article how he was accidentally added to a group chat on the excrypted messaging app Signal that included multiple senior Trump Administration officials — who discussed classified plans for a military strike in front of him.
Later that night, Jimmy Kimmel had some thoughts on it. Mainly, about how inept the whole thing seemed. “our national security is being guarded by a bunch of dudes he wouldn’t trust to throw your cousin a surprise party,” the ABC host joked.
“The Trump administration accidentally texted me its war plans,” Kimmel joked during his monologue as he brought the topic up. Then he explained what happened.
“So two weeks ago, Trump’s National Security Adviser, Michael Waltz, inadvertently invited the editor-in-chief at the Atlantic, a guy named Jeffrey Goldberg, to join a group chat on signal, the messaging app,” Kimmel said. “Next thing Goldberg knows, he’s on a chain with the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense, Pete hegseth, the head of the CIA and vice president JD Vance, as they hashed out secret plans for a military strike on the Houthis, which is a terrorist group in Yemen.”
“So he’s watching this chain go back and forth detailing the logistics and the specifics of a military strike. And he thought somebody was trying to fool him. He thought his information, turned out it was just a bunch of fools, because the strikes started happening exactly as described in the text,” Kimmel continued. “In other words, our national security is being guarded by a bunch of dudes he wouldn’t trust to throw your cousin a surprise party.”
“No one on the chain thought to ask, who is ‘JG,’ what are these initials for? All they could have been leaking secrets to Jeff Goldblum for all they know,” Kimmel went on. “And not only did this happen, after it happened, no one thought to tell Trump.”
There’s more of course, and you can watch the full monologue below:
