00:00In terms of what the president said, yes, this is a glitch.

00:04I would agree with him completely.

00:06And what I would hope is that this young National Security Council,

00:11this young National Security Advisor will learn something from this experience

00:17and frankly never use Signal again.

00:20I understand, for example, at the Pentagon there is a new report this morning

00:24that says people were warned against using Signal.

00:27Somebody has made a poor decision to tell the National Security Advisor

00:31that this is a system that he can use.

00:34So this is an error made by a new administration.

00:39I would hope they learn the lessons,

00:41and I would hope they never put a reporter on any of their internal communications again.
