00:00Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute.
00:07Mr. Speaker, today I rise in disbelief at the troubling stories in the Atlantic magazine
00:12of classified attack plans carelessly leaked by the U.S. Department of Defense in reckless
00:20and dangerous fashion.
00:22Congress must conduct full, independent, public, and private congressional hearings, the highest
00:28national security and intelligence leaders of our nation put American service members'
00:32lives at high risk.
00:35All responsible must be held fully accountable, including through removal or resignation from
00:40their positions.
00:41And these include Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, CIA Director Radcliffe, Director
00:46of National Intelligence Gabbard, Secretary of State Rubio, National Security Advisor
00:51Waltz, Chief of Staff Wiles, and Vice President Vance were among those involved in the plans
00:56Hegseth shared against DOD policy on a signal group chat on unsecured, nongovernment devices
01:04vulnerable to espionage.
01:06Hegseth failed to notice the group chat.
01:08It included a news editor and reporter with no security clearance.
01:13Only Lady Luck graced our nation as their haphazard approach to war didn't result in
01:18the death of American service members who could have ended up at the bottom of the Red
01:22Sea or over foreign soil.
01:25Their reckless leak risked American lives and our security, as our Marine Corps uncle
01:30would say, shape up.
01:32Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
01:33I yield back.
