This week, I had the honor of sitting down with Ambassador Susan Rice — former U.N. Ambassador and National Security Advisor — for one of the most jaw-dropping interviews I’ve done yet. And folks, if you thought the Trump regime couldn’t get more reckless, buckle up.
We brought Ambassador Rice on to break down what’s being called SignalGate — a newly exposed group chat where Trump’s top officials, including his CIA director, Secretary of Defense, and even his envoy to Russia, allegedly shared classified military plans via Signal text messages. Yes, you read that right. War plans. On Signal. With no secure communication protocols. Some even while abroad in hostile nations like Russia.
Susan Rice didn’t hold back. She called it “extraordinarily reckless” and “unprecedented.” She explained that even the existence of these conversations is classified — and then add in the bomb sequencing, attack targets, and a CIA operative’s name? There’s no excuse. As she made clear: “This would never be tolerated in a normal administration. They’d be fired on the spot.”
One of the most jaw-dropping revelations from the interview? Rice says that the Russians now “undoubtedly” have all of the national security information shared over Signal.
And Tulsi Gabbard? She tried to claim no classified info was shared. Rice dismantled that lie in seconds.
But this wasn’t just about one scandal. Ambassador Rice painted the bigger picture: the Trump regime’s repeated betrayals of our allies, their open hostility toward NATO, their warm embrace of autocrats like Putin and Xi, and their push to realign America away from our democratic partners toward authoritarian strongmen. JD Vance, Trump’s VP, even said the U.S. shouldn’t respond to Iranian-backed attacks because it might accidentally help Europe. That’s not leadership — it’s sabotage.
If you’re reading this and thinking, how is this not front-page news everywhere?, that’s why we do what we do. That’s why you are so important to this movement. Because while the corporate media fixates on horse race nonsense, we’re here exposing the rot, the danger, and the threat Trump still poses.
Watch the full interview. Share it. And let’s keep building. Because if we want to stop this chaos from ever taking hold again, we’ve got to stay loud, stay informed, and stay united.
Let’s keep this momentum going. Add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
I personally feel this is just further evidence they're using Signal across the board to avoid record retention, per project 2025 handbook
The only reason for government officials of public trust to hide their communications from oversight is criminal intent. Congress has secure oversight committees for this critical purpose. To make sure Bad Men are not violating their oath of office. And breaking the laws.
These are Bad Men acting in Bad Faith doing Bad Things and harming people. Let’s tell the truth out loud. Loud.
Extortion. Fraud. Scams. Cons. Parasites.
And traitors, oh my
@Burke ... Agree. They are failing just as their Nazi hero failed in Germany. Everything they've so carefully planned is being challenged daily--oftentimes by the second and the hour. I recall reading ... "Resist the devil and he will flee ... ."
Every time Drump get's his butt in a bear trap he runs away but not before claiming he "doesn't know, other people did it, I didn't sign it, I didn't say it," blah, blah, blah.
The only butt he's interested in covering is his own. The only golf tournaments he lays claim to as a "winner" are the golf courses he owns and he played against nobody! LOL 😂 He orders his staff to create trophies and photos that are prominently displayed for his "guests."
The dude is a DUD!
Ironic that Donald cheats at the traditional "Game of Honor". The irony is missed by the main stream media pundits.
"I won another golf tournament at my country club!" And no one laughs in his face.
Heck no! I just saw a video of a gentleman being arrested for laughing at the cop who stopped him. People in Dumpty's circle know if they displease him in any way their paychecks stop!!! LOL 😂
A reckless regime will soon wreck themselves , hopefully they don’t wreck the rest of the world with them .
I believe that they are using substandard methods, to evade accountability. Even when they are caught red handed, they still manage to spin, spin and spin their mistruths. They should all be fired.
They shouldn't be fired, they should be put in front of a firing squad.
Exactly. Heads should roll, but Trump has never had qualm about having Top Secret laying around in his home in Mar Lago.
Oh boy to that one, these guys, what oath, oath to trumpeeeeeee
I was responsible for records management here in Texas and ALL records should be retained. If it was related to city business--it doesn't matter if it was in the form of texts, emails, paper, video--hard to police but not hard to understand.
Did you forget what chat dialogue you were in?
This entire administration is set up for Trump World to steal money. And get away with it. Big money. Like $Trillions.
Exactly and that’s why he made the comment on Air Force One…”We’re gonna be real rich”, which means him and his billionaire buddies….Not Us….
Follow the money. I think that is the real motive.
Yes, that makes sense. They want to avoid records of their radical actions 🤔
That is an important point. Several US federal codes REQUIRE that all government actions be officially recorded. Must be a coincidence that the DOGEy and Master of Mystery also fired the head of the US Archives and Library of Congress. Just making the overturning of our Government more efficient I guess.
Yes, Manda. You are absolutely right. Two important Substacks to read:

Sounds like a case of TDS.
Susan Rice is a brave defender of democracy! Waltz and Hegseth should be thrown in jail along with the orange menace and muskrat. My civil service colleagues and I are documenting their many crimes: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/no-one-elected-elon
And nothing will done to any of them for this.
At least not immediately. But the tide is slowly turning.
We need a tsunami, not a slow tidal turning.
This motivates a few Congressional Republicans to step up. Shared government?
https://jerryweiss.substack.com/
Ive been hoping someone was creating a rap sheet.👍
Thank you for being the adults in this situation and rationally explaining what the protocols are with regards to our national security. I deeply appreciate the plain facts shared in a way I can understand. Now, that I am informed more broadly about what occurred, it is all the more alarming to know how exposed our country is due to the missteps of this administration.
Those under oath lying in the Congress, should be prosecuted and removed from office. Every single one, even Trump
what about the most horrible SCOTUS decision ever: President not punishable for any action taken in performance of his presidential duties.... ???? That one did us in, I fear!
Perhaps Roberts regrets giving Trump absolute immunity?
Malcolm Nance a few days ago, explained how the Russians, Chinese and anyone else who wanted to know any secrets would have, and probably have, infiltrated all their contacts and have every message now!
This gang of fools and misfits can only be the greatest embarrassment to the USA ever. Besides the fact that Trump was elected President.
That is exactly why they are using it. This is deliberate treason.
Agree.
They are so daft…this administration is an embarrassment! None of them have a clue, period!!!
Actually I think they do have a clue....it just happens to be a vision that we don't share with them of a country for ALL of the people not just a few
You're right. This is deliberate, so that there will be NO RECORD of their treason.
Unstable times like this cause wars. Imagine how much of a mess we would be in with Trump calling the shots. I have maybe 20 years left in my life and I would prefer to do it peacefully in a world where the markets aren't in crisis and they have fucked my social security and medicare.
I concur. I spent 23 years in the Marine Corps in harm's way. These jackholes are trying so hard to fleece the country that they don't care if they start a war. They won't be the ones fighting it so they don't care. Using an app to hold meetings prevents the maintenance of records of who was in the meeting and what was discussed. Time to start digging our nuke shelters in the backyard because these idiots are going to kill us all.
War=big money for the wealthy (Dick Cheney) they don't give 2 craps about our brave and heroic armed service members.
You spent all those years in service. I applaud that. Can you imagine going to war with Pete Hegseth and Trump running it? What they have done to the universities including University of TN is nothing but a mafia thug coming to your business to collect protection money. He was paid out by social media, his trip to the UAE was him collecting money for his own businesses. Especially his new crypto coin business. The Qatar jet should be a gift to the USA for any president to use. The problem is we have 2 working 747’s in active service. This will make a third. Two more updated jets are coming from Boeing. It is a waste of a billion dollars we have to spend outfitting it to work for a head of state. They are all crooks.
Kirsten, I appreciate you and the fact that you put your body in a situation that a lot of us will never realize. You understand the seriousness of this situation. So many in our armed services are in danger because they were betrayed by these incredibly stupid people on that chat.
Precisely!
Not really. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/27/signal-investigation-bipartisan-letter
Susan Rice clarified this so well. The current Administration is unconscionably reckless, irresponsible, and lawless. The cabinet-level people on the chat, who *should* have known better, should be held accountable for this. Will any of them be held accountable?
Their doing this DELIBERATELY
Bet Putin is on their list under an alias!
Basically we have two PUTIN'S in the world. One alias Krasnov!
Not a chance in hell
Good question. Mot in the near term, but eventually they will be.
Probably not.
I used to build sonobuoys for the Navy, and we couldn't even have cell phones on the production floor because people were taking selfies with our equipment and parts in the background! Imagine THAT getting into the wrong hands! Those people got fired IMMEDIATELY! New rule, if a phone is caught on the floor, FIRED!!!
Ambassador Rice, thank you so much for your experience and your eyes. And the Administration whisked Pete Hegseth out of town. JD Vance was whisked out of town. Mike Waltz was whisked out of town. The 3 top conspirators muffled so as not to leak the truth. Simpletons were left to gaslight and perjure themselves. Anyone that says the national defense information was not classified WHEN DIVULGED has committed perjury. Need I say more. Nice graphic is spinning in my mind with my loud thought. In DC, it sounded like the thunder of a covey of quail getting up and scattering for cover. Why would they want to miss the limelight and all the microphones? Just not like them, is it?
https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/conspiracy-against-us?r=3m1bs
Absolutely worst administration in history! These clowns have no freaking clue 🙈🙈
CBC/Radio-Canada is a Canadian public broadcast service just had Susan Rice on their podcast. She stated the same thing during that conversation. But she also was asked about the relationship between Canada and the United States was affected by SingalGate. She emphasized that Canada cannot trust the United States anymore. Fascist Trump and his Administraiton are going out of their way to share our Classified Information with our enemies means only one thing, America has been sold to Russia, North Korea and China. The Master Plan of Putin to attack Europe, North Korea and China attacking Asia and the demented Traitor Trump attacking the Americas is being played out in real time.
Democracy is more in play during Midterms 2026 more than 2024. All Americans, let me say this one more time, ALL AMERICANS need to vote this time. If apathy once again prevails, the United States as we have known it until this time, WILL DISAPPEAR FOREVER!!!!
This loosy goosy treatment of national security issues by this cabinet is abhorrent. The whole lot of them appear to be total fuck ups and not qualified to hold those positions. The buck stops at Felon47s desk, who is equally incompetent.
He's a traitor who has sold out to Putin.
Absolutely 100% this! Starts with Felon47. They all need to go.
Excellent interview!
To my mind, the reasons they did this on Signal are obvious.
1. They WANTED Russia to know. They want to show Putin the size of their balls.
2. They want to be able to delete it all. They need to erase the evidence of their crimes.
What I want to know is, was the inclusion of Goldberg also intentional or a major malfunction by a drunken fool?
I believe someone in that group is a whistleblower....else how could it possibly have happened????? Goldberg is no friend of any of theirs, but one of them knew he was the one to share it with.
well, you have to either deliberately enter a phone number in to add it to a chat or select it out of the contacts on your phone. So it was deliberate no matter what anyone says. It might have been a "fat finger," but I thoroughly doubt it.
https://substack.com/@techiam
That thought has crossed my mind, too.
whatever it was, I am glad that it happened. I doubt they will stop using the app since "t" did not reprimand them or blame them in any way. Just said it was all a witch hunt and a hoax. They need to expand their vocabulary.
https://substack.com/@techiam
Good question!
1 & 2; #3 was indeed an error.
Trump and company are so stupid. They are indeed wrecking this nation and putting all our lives at risk. In the old days, people were hanged for such crimes. Bring back the old days…
I give Ben a lot of credit for allowing his guests time to speak and answer the question!
Susan Rice is a National Treasure.
I agree and I wanted her to run for President!!!!
Thank you for being a credible news source able to have these important conversations with knowledgeable officials and former officials. We need all hands on deck.
I have no words,,, to hear Susan Rice's clear and intelligent discussion is heartbreaking for our country. tRump and his minions are a cancer that is eating the USA from the inside out,, how can rank and file Republicans look in the mirror?
Can you not see? Can you not hear? The bells of doom and demise are ringing.
MeidasTouchNetwork - My wife and I live in WI. A pretty red pocket. We’re scared. Elon deleting his X post and WI Governor Evers beginning to take legal action against the post and the money bribe isn’t enough to calm us. Brad Schittel signs are sadly outweighing American Hero Susan Crawford signs.
We are begging and pleading with your network/supporters to please volunteer and donate to Crawford if you can (https://www.crawfordforwi.com/volunteer). Please ask Susan Crawford back on Midas if possible. I know time is running out.
Brad Schittel is such a big toe. But he has Elon and $$$ on his side, and MAGA triple downers are brainwashed. Any minute you take even if it’s reading this post is appreciated from me (molly), my wife (public defender), and our pitty mix pablo.
I'm also in a red WI pocket. I'm scared shirtless! My mail-ballot went out last week. [EDIT: I'm scared shitless. We don't normally go shirtless in Wisconsin this time of year.]
Oh I really hope Susan wins. Thanks for your perspective; hopefully it's because you're in a red state and see more maga. Your wife is Public Defender? Bravo, I love her! Kudos to her. Please pass on our gratitude from Canada!🇨🇦
Love Susan Rice
Thank you but we all know that Russia doesn’t need signal to give Russia our intel - they are ALL the entire dumpster clown car of a cabinet Russian assets!!!!
It's so important that we hear people like Susan Rice. Being educated is the best defense. But...but...what can we do about all of this hell we're going through? Each day it seems to be worse and worse. We're being bombarded with all kinds of unlawful changes to our democracy. Perhaps we can find some high-level people to interview and direct us how to fight this craziness. I'm 86 soon and cannot be on the "ground" to fight but I can do everything else.

This misadministration are traitors who do the bidding of Russia and the Saudis, for their own benefit. They do not aim to benefit Americans or our values, and do not care if they expose US or our longtime allies to adversaries!
Why, why, WHY can we not have INTELLIGENT people like this in charge???? April 5th protest! Everyone show up to one!!!!
Who watches the Watchmen? With trump’s swift takeover of all levers of government, there will be no accountability for these blatant crimes.
Agreed. I also hope someone is protecting the continuity of government files. With doge destroying all it touches, these points makes me nervous.
Oh, my. Yes!
I find it strange (pure hubris) that they actually named the group as they did. When you plan a meeting that you don't want others to suspect you name it something other than what it is. When we were organizing on signal during the first trump tour we titled the group barbeque, or something ambiguous like that... we didnt call it "meetup chat for Saturday day of protest in capital". To think the hubris they had to name the group with the name of the group they are targeting floors me. No respect for our military or our security. Fools!
He's working for Putin, as are his whole administration.
Absolutely sweet FA for Americans or the USA.!
I love how in every interview, every response the when they talk about what supposed to happen, they always say “in a normal administration” This one is definitely anything BUT normal.
The reason for the actions of the Dear Leader is quite clear: He is following the orders of his boss, Putin, to destroy every aspect of both internal (Think DOGE) and external alliances that America has had in the past. The endgame is to isolate America, make it a pariah state and keep Russia company. The Dear Leader's attempt to control the narratives in museums, to rewrite history, to destroy Social Security, HHS. education, to alienate all of our allies, to reshape our diverse culture (DEI) are all carefully planned to destroy us. And the Republicans in Congress are complicit. Just substitute DEI for Judenfrei (the Nazis final solution) and you can see exactly where this is headed.
EXACTLY!
Did I see this straight that he asked Tulsi a question and she put her head down and waited... is she getting a script in her ear to answer the questions?
Her response?
Ja Mein Fuherur!
We all are now living in a surveillance state. Even ordinary citizens know that and behave accordingly. For example: Musk recently stated in an interview that, based on cell phone data, there were a lot fewer people at a rally than was reported in the media. Many people who participated didn't bring their cell phones to that rally for that very reason.
The motive for the geopolitical realignment is explained by San Francisco journalist and former California Dem staffer Gil Duran on his platforms thenerdreich.com and theframelab.org. Without that, people don't fully understand what's happening. Recently, Heather Cox Richardson included Mr. Duran in her Letters from an American. He also was included in a recent NY Times opinion article and participated in recent New Yorker (featuring Susan Glasser) and The Hill podcasts. Perhaps, you'd like to interview him also.
I think it's all on purpose, because THEY KNOW nothing will EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER happen to them. EVER!! 🤦♀️
This story continues to get sadder, every time I hear it. Yet no one’s head will roll. That alone tells you our country is in a sorry state of affairs! Eff Trump!
Little peter needs to be physically removed from office and put in Leavenworth for the rest of his pitiful life. And the rest of the idiots on the chat can go with him. Thank you Jeff Goldberg for your patriotism regarding this matter.

Great interview! I've not always agreed with Ambassador Rice but I have always admired her expertise and desire to follow the rule of law and constitution. Thanks to her for speaking with all of us. [By the way, she looks great!]
The reason for using Signal was to get around the a presidential records act. They had it set to “erase”. This was not the 1st time they have used Signal. It is their platform.
What’s truly frightening is that within 90 days of January 20 a decision will be made on whether the insurrection act of 1807 will be implemented.
A report will be forthcoming by the secretary of defense(Hegseth)and the secretary of homeland security (Noem)
Is it any wonder that neither of these two are facing any consequences from Signalgate???
Ahhh... I did not make the connection between this EO and April 20th, 90 days after 1/20/25. It is also the date of many bad things happening in America.
Anyone can request personal phone data from gov't officials under FOIA
Hegseth is trying to rehabilitate himself. See "Japan, US share ‘warrior ethos’ to deter China, says Pentagon’s Hegseth" here: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/30/japan-us-share-warrior-ethos-to-deter-china-says-pentagons-hegseth
I wouldn't be surprised if China already knows all about our tactical plans to defend Taiwan from listening to Signal chats.

My substacks are usually deadly serious, but today I made an exception and wrote "Could Trump and Patel put Jeffrey Goldberg on the FBI 10 Most Wanted List?" It is a fantasy... It could never happen... or could it? Trump desperately wants to make Goldberg the villain in Signalgate while ,of course, he is the hero worthy of the Pulitzer for breaking news.

This is awesome…greatly appreciate Susan Rice for informing and educating us on our country’s national security! Thank you MTN for your unwavering commitment to bringing the diverse perspectives and knowledge. We need to embrace the different professions to have a multi faceted approach and education to fight this despicable regime. Mahalo from Hawaii 🙏🙏🙏
There will be alot of trumps' liars could be going to jail
Unbelievable!
My friend and I had the honor to meet Susan Rice while we volunteered canvasing for the Kamala - Waltz campaign. She introduced herself, shook my hands and said; Hi, I'm Susan. I said; Hello, I know you're Susan. :) I have always admired her intelligence and no nonsense. I'm guessing she held back on a few choice words during this interview, knowing the reckless and dangerous actions of these unqualified clowns.
This pisses me off to no end. How dare there assholes to screw hundreds of million of American's that believe in the way we were before Trump. Trump has sold us down the river and will sell off the government lands and national parks to his oligarch ass kissers.
Ben and Jordy - in another effort to deflect Whiskeygate, Piece of Shit is now stating how he can run for a third term, trying to exacerbate 'Trump fatigue'
Trump doesn’t think he has to follow rules or laws!!
Outstanding
Just kind of musing here, but that frat-boy texting almost seemed scripted to me.
Excellent chance to hear devoted, sober experts weigh in on this serious transgression against our US safety. Hard not to compare this with the vapid, indefensible gaslighting and lying by omission that comes from the charmers, all taking the heat while the real culprits flee the limelight.
We have no National Security at this moment in time....

America is now Putin's friend. Officially. I knew something was amiss when in Trumpty's first term he met with Putin with no one present except a Russian translator. Will Americans wake up in time to save Democracy?? ELBOWS UP America before it is too late
FEELING insecure for our troops
What the French toast !!! Susan Rice wowza !!!
They want wartime
Brett, congratulations to you and the Meidas Touch team for getting Susan Rice on your show. Wonderful interview. You are getting absolutely mainstream.
Great show, having someone like Susan Rice on who understands the whole background with this group of idiots we have running our defense and national security, is amazing! We thank you for all the great people you have on to reaffirm what we are all thinking and feeling right now. Like she said, the whole group should be removed from their jobs!
This was excellent. I hope you continue to do interviews with her.
Thank you for having Susan Rice on today
She is the voice of reason 👍🏼😎
Thank you Ben and Ambassador Rice for being clear on the parameters of secure procedures for Classified Level Communications. Most voters know what's going on and your confirming description of the norm is welcome and proves the high level of incompetence we're saddled with for the next 4 years. I expect that's how long the lies will continue. I thought my protesting days were over when I retired, but they're just starting. There's too much at stake. My family and myself are being directly impacted by the foolery of this administration. All people of the US will soon find out that there will be no immunity to this BS - even those who voted for the Cheeto-flocked Nazi. There will be no forgiveness.
All the participants in the Signalgate chat should be prosecuted for one reason - they used the Signal app. They were warned that Signal was not a secure government meeting and communication method. THEY KNEW. The participants were also aware of all the methods to use safe and secure channels in the White House, on the road, and even in their homes. There is absolutely no excuse for their behavior and choices. Forget about the debate regarding whether the information was classified or not. Choosing to usurp the established security protocols and using the Signal app, with no descension by any group members, is unlawful and criminal.
Excellent interview! Her first answer would be a good quick news edit as it really sums up the critical intelligence breach of signal gate.
This is what to be expected from an OLD mentally compromised felon/ terrorist leader in charge; Trump ( in his usual drugged out speech) said he didn’t know what was going on.😵💫 🙄 Duh, clueless dork dumb Donald. 🏴☠️ His whole unqualified vaudeville team is dangerous!
Meidas has the power to publicly ask the press (especially the New York Times) why they continue to report fascist's lies as if they have equal standing to the truth. This is not "balanced" reporting.
Using signal is certainly an easy way to pass information to Putin without having in person contact.
I simply do not understand how even die-hard Republicans can escape the suspicion that Trump has been, and remains, a Russian asset. The domestic policies of the Trump regime are arguably Russian-inspired and increasingly authoritarian. They have repeatedly tried to circumvent statutory and constitutional obstacles to objectives that tend to increase presidential power, dispense with due process, muffle media, punish legal challenge, stifle dissent, enforce censorship, create social division and disrupt the US and world economy. In foreign relations, the Trump regime appears determined to implement Putin's most treasured policy objectives. They are weakening the Atlantic alliance, alienating allies and friendly nations world-wide, weakening our economy and destroying our credibility as an ally, trade partner or good-faith negotiator. It has long been my impression that Republican policies, including those co-opted and implemented by the Clintons, have been nudging us toward 3rd world nationhood, but the Trump regime has put us on a fast-track to becoming a banana republic - a full-fledged impotent kleptocratic oligarchy.
Amazing interview. So clarifying. Thank you!
I like that lady. She's clear headed and sensible, well spoken. She makes the BS much clearer.
I have always held Susan Rice in high regard. Her straightforward comments should shake everyone to the core. This regime has no interest in security, honesty or integrity (yes, I know that’s been obvious). Each of the signal-gate participants and the entire regime belong in prison forever! I am so fearful for our country and especially every member of the military who puts their lives on the line daily.
Fantastic interview. Thank you.
Oh.my.god
Susan Rice clearly laid all out succinctly….the big picture here is extraordinary scary.
Thank you for interviewing Susan Rice. What an American Treasure. She knows more about the inter workings of U.S. government than any of the clowns we have in this circus of an administration. I guess that goes without saying. Please invite her back.
Great interview with one of the most intelligent, aware, involved and upstanding representatives of the US govt in the past decades. Ambassador Rice shows how America was once represented by true patriots and supporters of American liberty, democracy and the rule of law. The trump clown corps pale is comparison and they are an embarrassment to themselves and America at large. Great work, Ben. I look forward to more interviews with Ambassador Rice.
Thank you Susan Rice your explanation is sound as to how it would of been handled by a government of the people, and of course never would of happened in the first place, when we had responsible adults running the country and not a bunch of ex-fratboys who majored in beer bong. tRump has dismissed all of his merry band of traitors and morons so what do we do now? Along with raise a stink.
Tulsi is lying, just like her cult leader. She is just as corrupt

Trump does not care. All he does is eat and play golf. He delegates everything, so when something goes awry, he claims not knowing about it, or blaming someone else. He doesn't accept responsibility or accountability that the buck stops at him. He is a weak, feloneous, vile, lying piss poor definition of a man, let alone a president. He is the devil incarnate.

Why is everyone forgetting that JD Vance was in that chat to?
And did a very bad thing contradicting the pres... but then saying he would knuckle under and support it. The interesting part was where stephen miller was the one who gave the "go" - that is the pres's job. It is concerning that the Pres is not even running our country - just wrecking it.
This is going to reach the point of no return for our country at any moment
Until the Russian paid GOP are a minority in BOTH houses, then DEMS SHOULD UNLEASH IMPEACHMENT for the whole administration & SCOTUS.!
GET THEM OUT & COURT & JAIL TIME!!?
Evil witch
It makes absolutely no difference what they heard over this chat because with Trump in office they already know all the information that they need to block anything the United States is willing to do Trump is the best kept secret of the kgb and unfortunately the only people that don't know it are the ones that voted for him the rest of us no he's nothing but a puppet for Putin and I'm sure Putin already knows everything that's going on in this country he's an insurrectionist he's a felon a racist a misogynistic a******and has no concern for the American people at all the only thing he's interested in are the multi-millionaires but he's protecting so America we haven't got a chance of getting anything that would help us must is a perfect example of what I'm saying
Susan Rice literally lied to the nation for about a week during the peak of the 2012 election season to protect Obama’s re-election hopes from the Benghazi debacle; she insisted it was a reactive protest to an anti-Islam video and NOT a terrorist attack. We now know it was a terrorist attack. She was promoted later from spox to a director position. Check for yourself if you don’t believe me.
Please list the “classified” info shared on the Signal app.
No more wishy washy about what is right or wrong
The Nazis want a level playing field so that the propaganda they spew makes what they are doing seem normal Mainstream media(MSM) has been playing this game that the Nazis are just doing “normal political discourse” for several years now And the Nazis in Congress are playing the same game By their silence they underscore that what is happening is just business as usual The Nazis want us to believe “Hey there are two sides of a controversy and both sides deserve equal time” in the land of free speech But they don’t deserve equal time
Remember the comment “there were fine people on both sides”?
What’s currently being done is NOT business as usual It’s NOT normal behavior in a democratic republic and to redefine these authoritarian activities and policies as just the way we do things these days allows the Nazis to get away with the propaganda they are pushing
What the Nazis are doing and saying is WRONG Period End of story
There are no two sides to this discussion The nonsense to give the Nazis a level playing field is ridiculous and obscene The Nazis do not deserve any respect or audience Scott Jennings, CNN’s provocateur in chief is a classic example of how Nazis attempt to distort the facts when engaging in political discourse He takes on fantastical positions when it cannot be justified and then claims he is just arguing the other side Free speech of course but call it out for what he is DEAD WRONG It’s not time to level the playing field and allow Nazis to use free speech as justification for confusion CNN needs to be more forceful in calling Nazis out for their deceit which is one of the reasons CNN is in the tank with respect to ratings
So America call the Nazis out for who they are Corrupt Lawless Liars Gangsters And then get out there and PROTEST!!
Trump and his whole cabinet have to GO before it is too late!!!!!
They are so DANGEROUS and they don’t seem to know WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!!!
Such a meaningful interview. Let’s get her back with solutions!!!
What a wonderful clear speaker - get her on again!! So clear.
Excellent interview. Clear answers and helpful information to understand the serious breach of security in Signalgate.
50501 Protests in all 50 states this Sat. April. 5th! Show up! Speak out! https://www.fiftyfifty.one
Susan Rice is one intelligent woman!
I agree with
Manda that using Signal across the board to avoid record retention per Project 2025 is the goal. Wonder if the founder of Signal can create a way to help our Allied leaders hack into the accounts of these players? No one on Signal, unless they are committing crimes would object to a way to provide assistance to bring down a corrupt government...yep, the US is now openly a corrupt government, not that any government isn't. Big money and the Oligharcy corrupts absolutely.
So impressed with the quality of your guests. At least we have voices of sanity because of your podcast. Thank you Ben and Brett.
An extremely articulate description of the problems inherent in Trump’s regime. I would add that there was no point in the Signal conversation. There should have been radio/communications silence during the execution of the attack. My dad was a fighter pilot in the USMC in WWII in the Pacific. I remember him telling me that when on a mission, it was radio silence once they left the aircraft carrier.
She is one true class act... Contrast that with alley urban y all slut Jasmine Crockett... Know what? If you believe in free speech you will allow all opinions and not censor
Susan Rice should be in charge !
This was no accident. The "leak' was intentional and meant to compromise our national security for Russia
Thank you Ms Rice as always.
I don't know what's normal, but I always imagined the president would be in the sit room for a conversation like this, making decisions, etc. Instead, Trump claims he doesn't even know anything about the entire conversation. What would have happened in a "normal" presidency?
Why were these people even having a chat? This gathering of people had no input into what was happening. There is no military presence at this meeting. All it really is is an unnecessary celebratory Mutual backslapping chat.
Susan Rice is deservedly one of the most trusted and respected senior NSA personnel. She should be listened to. She owns the procedural facts.
Why are we not talking about bombing and killing innocent people?
I would like to know why Hegseth has a Russian email address?
Does he? That is dangerously shocking. Do you have a source on that info?
Someone posted a screenshot of it on here.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ambassador Rice!
I have no experience with this, but before A. Susan Rice said Witkoff should have gone to an American embassy in Moscow, I said it as I was listening. This is how common sense it is! All of this is common sense. Embassies protect in foreign countries
I knew she was going to begin the discussion with” That’s laughable “.
When the various agencies were gutted, those left monumental breaches to the hull we call national security.
Signal Gate is the trump administration further inviting adversarial actors to harm the American people.
Thank you, Ben and Susan, for this informative interview. A real horror show, but one we need to be aware of. We cannot defy tyranny effectively if we don't understand what makes it tick.
To that end, I highly recommend watching this in-depth interview on The Nerd Reich YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iHlfLPDoS4, (or search in YouTube for: "1. Tech Billionaires vs. Democracy: Elon Musk and the Rise of "Network States")
"In the explosive first episode of The Nerd Reich podcast, host Gil Duran teams up with economic sociologist Brooke Harrington and internet politics expert Dave Karpf to decode the alarming rise of "network states." They're diving deep into how tech billionaires like Elon Musk are trying to dismantle traditional governance to create their own power structures through crypto and artificial intelligence. They discuss the hidden dangers behind AI-driven governance, the disturbing intersection of wealth and political influence, and why understanding human behavior through humanities matters now more than ever. Plus, they share bold predictions about where tech authoritarianism is heading and reveal powerful strategies for resisting the growing control of billionaire tech elites. Don't miss this essential conversation about the fight for democracy's future!"
Nothing Nothing will happen they all are obviously above the law. We will be left with nothing by this administration.
As others have said. They have been using Signal for a while now. Since they are Russian assets they were not concerned about security. I believe they are Russian assets based on their behavior, before during and after, Signal Gate.
Susan Rice is on the Medias ? Wow !!! Love the progress 🤙🤙🤙
It really is an honor to have such a knowledgeable & intelligent person speak to us on these matters. Thank you! Meidas Mighty!!

They gotta go!!!
How do these people get coached to lie, under oath, to the American people, and then actually DO it!? It's like you have to have zero principles if you want to be in Trump's cabinet. And there are no holes in this requirement. No one out there who objects to lying under oath?!
Trump is selling the United States to Russia and China for his gain and the gain of his cronies. This is, to me, as obvious as the nose on my face. Just say no and keep calling out this treacherous and traitorous behavior.
She deserves respect because she knows what she’s talking about. She served with distinction, unlike Trump’s minions his administration.
They’re hiding the whole thing. Project 2025 calls for this kind of sketch. Cover up.
Tempertantrump “safeguards” sensitive classified information next to his toilet paper !
The hypocrisy (remember Hillarys emails) and arrogance of these bloated incompetents is mind-boggling indeed. They should be held accountable. Whatever happened to the instant accountability we saw on the Apprentice? Let me guess, it was all a show.
It would have been nice for Japan to chat their bombing plans of Pearl Harbor!
Incredibly soothing to listen to an INTELLIGENT, EDUCATED, PROFESSIONAL, EXPERIENCED, AND ARTICULATE ADULT who can speak in full sentences.
Viki is a scammer now reported and blocked.
Mahalo to you for taking so much time to cover all this insanity! It can’t be easy and you are greatly appreciated 🙏💪❤️
They have no clue how government works. This will not change & they will continue this behavior. They are stupid & Lazy. Trump is not acting as president because he is the most clueless.
Put them all in Jail.
Great interview. Boy is Rice on smart cookie.
Here's my ? for all the legal beagles out there. If some person/group were to break the code & post the contents of one of their signal chats would that party be liable for disclosing confidential information since the source was an app that was not authorized to contain it?
I would have to think that if there is a "deepthroat part 2" they may be recording all this not just for posterity. 🤞🤞
What a great interview Ben 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and what a wise woman ❤️ she knows what she’s talking about 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent interview, Well done Ben!
Where is that book, "National Security for Dummies"?
Honestly, who cares what she says or any of these former employees, they can't do anything. No one seems to stop this POS from doing anything. We all (all of us that aren't maga morons) know he's doing everything he can to please Putin, to ruin any hopes of our country & our rights being restored, he's a demented MF. The US is royally fkd if this BS isn't stopped ASAP.
What do you suggest as a solution?
This is not a “ normal” administration……
She was also on CBC.
I remember Susan Rice- respected across the board.
She is competent and experienced! Listen to her
Honestly, Ms. Rice should be in prison for her war crimes. She has earned her place in Hell.
Great interview! Thank you to you both!
Thank you Ambassador Rice. You explained everything so well and the information should be shared to all Americans.
This is so serious and now our country and the people are at risk. Trump will do nothing about i just don't understand why he is allowing this

'"I don't think she much cares': Lawyer says Pam Bondi is thumbing her nose at John Roberts.
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts, recently made a rare statement about not calling for the impeachment of judges who rule against you, but that isn't stopping Pam Bondi.
MSNBC legal analyst, Lisa Rubin, appeared on the news outlet on Saturday, and was asked by the host about a recent comment the Attorney General made regarding judges she wished to be "removed", after they ruled against President Donald Trump.
Rubin interpreted Bondi as saying either they would be recused from the case, or be impeached."
"But Pam Bondi, is she not hearing what Supreme Court Justice John Roberts said, that impeachment is not a venue for this kind of activity?" the host asked.
Rubin replied, "I don't think that Pam Bondi much cares."
"In some respects, nobody expects these judges to be impeached because as you know... in addition to passing an impeachment resolution in the House, then you have to two thirds of the Senate convict," Rubin added Saturday. "But Pam Bondi isn't trying to win votes in the Senate... this is a MAGA talking point, not something she's trying to win in the legal realm." (Raw Story)......

'"Big risks': How the rushed Social Security overhaul is threatening benefits for millions.
The Trump Administration, with the help of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Assistance (DOGE), is targeting a wide range of federal government agencies for mass layoffs — including the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA).
The SSA was established 90 years ago, when Congress passed the Social Security Act of 1935, and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed it into law as part of his New Deal.
Social Security was one of FDR's most important accomplishments, and the programs defenders — including former SSA Commissioner/ex-Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley — are warning that SSA layoffs could lead to delayed Social Security benefits for millions of seniors.
The Trump Administration and DOGE, O'Malley warns, are laying off so many knowledgeable SSA employees that it will be difficult for the agency to function in the months ahead." (Raw Story)......

'"Big political issues': GOP insider says Trump's moves may be about to 'catch up with him'.
Donald Trump has been riding high during a presidential "honeymoon," but there are signs that it's coming to an end, according to a Republican insider on Saturday.
Brendan Buck, a former key adviser to ex-House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), appeared on MSNBC over the weekend, to discuss Trump's recent actions.
Specifically, Buck stated that Trump was elected due to "people's concerns about the cost of living," and then warned, "and if that does not improve, and certainly there are fresh, serious concerns about the direction of the economy, if the economy starts going south, he's got big political issues."

"'An incredible amount of money': GOP lawmakers stunned by Kristi Noem travel bills.
Prior to becoming Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security secretary, former South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) was busy gallivanting around the country in an attempt to raise her political profile with multiple trips to Mar-a-Lago and another to Paris, to give a speech -- on the taxpayer's dime.
According to a report from the Associated Press, a lawsuit by The Dakota Scout uncovered details about Noem's travel expenses, that also included bear hunting trip with her niece courtesy of South Dakota's taxpayers.
In interviews with the AP, two South Dakota Republicans expressed dismay and shock that Noem, whose GOP vice presidential nomination hopes died after she admitted to shooting her puppy Cricket ("I hated that dog"), was using state funds instead of campaign or personal funds." (Raw Story)......

'"I no longer trust them': MAGA fans outraged by 'disappointing' company Trump is keeping.
Donald Trump, on Saturday, made a golf announcement that spiraled out of control when the President's own fans started lashing out at the GOP lawmakers Trump was playing with.
Trump over the weekend took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to announce he had won yet another tournament, at his own golf course." (Raw Story)......

"Lock him up. Here's what the Espionage Act has to say about disappearing information.
In the past month, Trump has threatened to imprison peaceful protest organizers, falsely declared a national invasion, invoked war powers in time of peace, serially ignored court orders, and sent people to an El Salvador prison without due process or review, all while making outrageous comments meant to distract the public from his administration’s illegal conduct.
This week served up the capper when we learned that Trump officials are coordinating their actions on Signal, an app with an auto delete feature, in violation of multiple federal laws requiring communications to be preserved and protected." (Raw Story)......

"Musk throws full temper tantrum on national TV.
Elon Musk hit a new pathetic low when he went on Fox News to complain about "huge jerk" Tim Walz, for making fun of Tesla's plummeting stock price, at one of his town halls.
"What an evil thing to do! Who derieves joy from that?" whined Musk. Do you want to talk about "evil things," Elon Musk?
You cut off all medicine and food aid to thousands of starving people across the world, killing children. You robbed the livelihood from tens of thousands of hard-working public servants, and laughed about it. You're currently sabotaging Social Security to ensure that our seniors can't afford their food or medication. You turned one of the biggest social media sites in the world into a neo-Nazi propaganda mill. You are actively trying to subvert democracy and buy an election, by handing out money to voters in Wisconsin.
And we're supposed to feel sorry for you, because the stock price of the company you bought went down?

Ambassador Rice should have been on Meet the Press this morning. It was disgusting that the Oklahoma congressman was given so much air time with no push back when he was asked about the use of Signal and unsecured phones.
My son is on a carrier in the Red Sea and this is so disturbing to me. If we can’t hold them accountable for this they won’t be accountable for anything.

About this event
Did this attack on Yemen actually occur or was this whole business regarding "Signalgate" a staged t'rumpy diversionary media event? A show? A pack of lies by a pack of notorious liars. If shipping resumes through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea without incident, maybe so.
Here is an article that has been fact checked and is considered highly factual from a centrally biased news source. Trump Admin Vows ‘Unrelenting’ Strikes on Houthis in Yemen

Thanks, Ben. So great to see the brilliant Ambassador Susan Rice and get her valuable input. I look forward to further interviews with her.
Thank you, Ambassador and MTN, for that informative and worrying interview.
Good one, Ben! After seeing the undercover interview of the 2025 accomplice it becomes clear that they used Signal as well to avoid FOIA queries. Screw the danger putting lives at risk! These really are a group of psycopaths!!
Seal Team Six...!
Brilliant interview with a very intelligent woman. Susan Rice my accolades to you.
Wow! That was a fantastic interview! Congress and any investigative committee that looks at this issue should be required to listen to this.
she is such an arrogant kunt
This should be front-page news, every paper in the country! What is WITH the MSM?
Great interview. Susan Rice puts all our concerns about this team in succinct terms. Their incredible level of recklessness endangers the United States.
Thank you Ambassador Rice. It seems to me that they WANT the Kremlin to tell them what to do because otherwise, they have NO IDEA what to do in their positions. They welcome being controlled by Putin and don't care about the security of our beloved country!
Amen! Throwing away the good ties we have for communism is crazy
What Rice expresses in the last portion of her assessment is what all Americans should be focused on and concerned about: what is this Administration's intent in supporting Putin (and China through this relationship). Let us not let them institute their plan. Putin is diabolical and this group of ignorant narcisists in the WH may think they can hold his hand and are his equals but they are not. By destroying the safety net with our Allies that has been built and nurtured over decades, a catastrophic collapse of the World Order is not far behind. Without National Security, there will be no need to fight for domestic policy and saving our Constitutional rights. We will simply be trying to survive.
I have been wondering "how in the world could this have happened?" and now I am convinced that someone in that "group of 12". is a whistleblower.....someone is aware of how bad things are and how dangerous this administration is.....how else could that have happened? This is hopeful!
Tulsi Gabbard is a petulant sex-object for MAGA and Putin. There is nothing between her ears.
If the final outcome sought by TRUMP, and his cabal, is to become like China and Russia with fake elections or no election, and authoritarian in scale and scope….they are showing us what’s coming. There will be no meaningful investigation by the Republican controlled Congress and no discipline of the parties to the call. We absolutely MUST do everything we can to replace every single Republican who is up for re-election/or election. That requires sacrifice by EVERY DEMOCRAT NOW HOLDING OFFICE AND SITTING ON A STOCKPILE OF CASH! I am talking to you Adam Schiff, and any of your colleagues who are safe in their Senate job for 5 more years. And those members of Congress who have the ability to help elect democratic candidates….empty your bank account in support of the cause. And finally, the DNC should form a committee comprised of Pete Buttigieg, Rahm Emanuel, Jon Stewart, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, and AOC. I know that this will make you think I am delusional but there are still Republicans who ought to help develop a plan to bring in Republicans and Independents and they might include Jeff Flake, and Liz Cheney. Invite Ezra Klein to create the agenda and facilitate the meeting. The outcome to be the action plan for party reform and electing democrats/independents. As a donor I am sick of being bombarded with daily requests for financial support for candidates who are not Californians….we have to get the people who have a stake in the game to elect Democrats in their States and build a wall of support across the nation. I do not think this could be a better time to refine our agenda and layout a strategy for selling these ideas to voters. A NEW DEAL FOR AMERICA🇺🇸.
MEIDAS, Thank you for continuing to bring on qualified individuals…to speak to the alarming issues in the rapid rate of day by day failures of this Regime!

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, but lose his soul?" ~ Mark 8:36.
(In Matthew 16:26, Jesus asks, "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"
This highlights the transcendental value of the soul over worldly gain, and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing spiritual well-being and following Christ, even at the cost of worldly success.)

Contrast Susan Rice,,who has poise, charm,, intelligence, great presence,etc with that Jasmine Crockett piece of classless ghetto black slang hood misfit.. That Crockett is just plain embarassing....and madeup like a whore... Totally burned out: fake nails, fake eyes, fake hair..just a pancake hustling deadbeat
They’ve made it clear, they’re not running for anything, hence not ‘gathering votes’. So other than clearly being pissed off, what’s your point here?
Nikita Khrushchev did promise to destroy America from the inside. Trump/Krasnov is the enemy from within.
And, of course, VOTE! Just in case our votes still matter.
Will your vote count in the upcoming election?
The Nazi regime is hard at work on voter suppression as Nazi’s Hitler talks about a third term https://bit.ly/4hVFyeC There is no need to stop future elections just rig them so voter ballots are disqualified or by disenfranchising voters through state vigilante voter challenges
The US Nazi leader just announced by an executive order(EO) that mirrors the SAVE act that the Nazis are currently pushing through the House The SAVE ACT will require people are asked to register or re-register to vote (31m do that every year….for various reasons change address/change county, change name with marriage) voters will have to prove they are citizens in order to vote This can be done in 2 ways: 1) proof of birth either by original birth certificate(who has that?) or 2 passport (12% have passports and are usually white and wealthy) What about women who have different last names now? Try to register if you do not have your original birth certificate because marriage licenses, military ID’s will not count Estimates for 2026 7million voters will be disqualified or not counted
The result of the SAVE ACT and Hitler’s EO is : Massive drain and purge of the voter rolls
What to do?? 1 Call your congressperson to vote against the SAVE ACT 202 224 3121 2 Check voter registration 80d ahead of election and don’t use provisional ballot…nearly 50% don’t get counted 3 Most of the voter suppression laws on the books are to disqualify or disenfranchise Black voters, women voters, Hispanic voters ….good old fashioned Jim Crow 2.0….talk to your minority voting friends about the dangers of coming after their votes 4 Protest the USPS being brought under the Commerce Dept because this is the step to privatize and then control mail in voting(if this happens 1 in 7 votes will be lost….MIT doubles that to 1 in 4) 5 Join the Resistance movement at mobilize.us
It is already being done! The Russians in Chinese among others but they're not going to put that stuff out there because they don't want to spoil their feast.
Agree. Certainly not the the first time they used it for classified business just the first time publicly caught. Keystone cops.
