In a fiery interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz addressed the so-called “embarrassing” Signal chat leak head-on, refusing to let the liberal media weaponize the incident to overshadow the Trump administration’s decisive foreign policy victories. The leak, which involved an anti-Trump Atlantic editor infiltrating a high-level national security group chat, has been relentlessly exploited by the left to smear the administration—while ignoring the historic successes of President Trump’s bold leadership.
Waltz, unwavering in his defense of the administration, dismissed the notion of internal sabotage, stating, “We have people… No. Look, this is a great group. The President has a great team. This is not first-term.” He emphasized that the real story isn’t the leak—it’s the administration’s relentless strikes against terrorist threats, including the Houthis, which the Biden regime failed to confront. “Not only did we take out people that the Biden team never could, we took out headquarters, missile caches, and actually one of the leaders of the Houthi organization,” Waltz declared.
The liberal media, desperate to deflect from Trump’s wins, has fixated on the leak rather than the administration’s game-changing military successes. Waltz called out their hypocrisy, pointing out that Democrats were “fine to leave all the sea lanes shut down… fine to have destroyers fired on dozens of times by this terrorist group and fine to have Iran keep supplying them with missiles.” Under President Trump, America is finally fighting back—and winning.
When pressed on how the Atlantic editor’s contact ended up in the chat, Waltz admitted the situation was “disturbing” but refused to let it overshadow the administration’s accomplishments. “I take full responsibility. I built the group,” he stated, while vowing to uncover the truth behind the breach. The real issue, however, isn’t a technical glitch—it’s the left’s obsession with sabotaging Trump’s agenda rather than celebrating the restoration of American strength.
In a fiery interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz took full responsibility for the Signal chat leak that left the left-wing media scrambling to distract from the Trump administration’s latest foreign policy victories. Rather than focusing on the successful military strikes against Houthi terrorists—including the destruction of their headquarters, missile caches, and leadership—the liberal press has instead seized on what Waltz called an “embarrassing” but ultimately minor security lapse.
“Look, I’m not a conspiracy nut,” Waltz stated, “But of all the people out there, somehow this guy who has lied about the President, who has lied to Gold Star families, lied to their attorneys, and gone to Russia hoax, gone to just all kinds of lengths to lie and smear the President of the United States—and he’s the one that somehow gets on somebody’s contact and then gets sucked into this group.”
The Atlantic editor in question, a known Trump antagonist, infiltrated the private Signal group where high-level national security discussions were taking place. Instead of applauding the administration’s decisive actions—such as reopening vital sea lanes and crippling Iranian-backed Houthi forces—the left-wing media has cynically weaponized this leak to undermine the President’s successes.
When pressed by Ingraham on whether an insider was sabotaging the administration, Waltz shut down the speculation:
Laura Ingraham: Is someone in your intel team trying to cause trouble here? Because that’s the scuttlebutt out there.
Mike Waltz: No. Look, this is a great group. The President has a great team. This is not first-term.
Waltz emphasized that the real story isn’t the leak—it’s the Trump administration’s relentless effectiveness in neutralizing threats that the Biden administration ignored. “Not only did we take out people that the Biden team never could, we took out headquarters, missile caches, and actually one of the leaders of the Houthi organization. We’ve since taken out several since. That’s what they don’t want to talk about.”
The liberal media’s obsession with this leak reeks of desperation. Rather than acknowledge President Trump’s strategic wins—like dismantling terrorist networks and restoring American deterrence—they’d rather hyper-focus on a technical mishap. Waltz, a seasoned veteran, made it clear: “Pete [Secretary of Defense] and I are veterans. We know these operations… The President takes decisive action. Now we’re seeing some real success.”
Meanwhile, the left refuses to explain why they were content with leaving sea lanes vulnerable, allowing Iran to arm terrorists, and letting U.S. destroyers come under fire. Their silence speaks volumes.
Laura Ingraham grilled Waltz on the bizarre circumstances, asking, “But how did it end up in your phone?” Waltz responded, “That’s what we’re trying to figure out.” Yet, instead of demanding answers on how a known Trump-hater infiltrated sensitive communications, the media should be asking why Biden’s weakness allowed global threats to spiral out of control in the first place.
The Trump administration’s victories speak for themselves—sea lanes secured, terrorists eliminated, and American dominance reaffirmed. While the left clutches pearls over a Signal chat, President Trump is delivering real results.
At the end of all of this, I hope they find out why and how this journalist ended up on their government chat and for better or worse, action is taken to insure this never happens again.
