On Amber's team tonight, he's the host of The Majority Report, who recently went viral after arguing with 20 young Trump supporters on YouTube surrounded.

We'll ask him if he still believes the children are our future.

And joining Michael, she's an Emmy-nominated comedian who's written for Saturday Night Live and roasted Tom Brady on Netflix.

Tonight, she'll be roasting Michael Ian Black on CNN, and he's gonna love it.

Now for the biggest news stories of the week.

Amber and Sam, watch the clip and tell me what's the story.

Okay, this is a text chain, so it could be anything.

That guy was not supposed to get this text.

It's the signal chat that accidentally they added a journalist to it, uh, when they were planning the attack on Yemen.

On Monday, The Atlantic revealed that members of the Trump administration had accidentally texted war plans to their editor-in-chief in an article they titled

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me

That was Monday. Then on Wednesday, the magazine followed up their original article by posting the attack plans that Trump advisers had shared with them on Signal in a piece titled

I think he added the guy, because if you read the messages,

J.D. Vance is low-key saying, like, this...don't know what he doing, bro.

Wait, what...are you talking about, Trump or Hexer?

But the crazy thing, they should not have been on Signal in the first place.

You're not supposed to use your private phones, and you're not supposed to use an app that literally my 12-year-old kid can get to say, in an hour, we're launching these planes in this place.

Okay, but, Sam, you're not supposed to have an insurrection, but we did.

So, on this infamous Signal group chat, there were 19 people.

In addition to the editor of The Atlantic, the chat had people like Defense Secretary Hexer and Vice President J.D. Vance, who used their full names in the super-secret Signal chat.

There was also people going by the initial SM, aka Trump Advisor Stephen Miller, and T.G., Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard.

There was also some guy on the thread just named Jacob...

We don't know who Jacob is, but, hey, look, no big deal.

It's not a big deal. Fortunately, Tulsi and some of the text friends were already supposed to testify to the House Intelligence Committee this week.

So they had a chance to clear this whole thing up.

I don't know how he was invited, but-but clearly he was added.

I'm not gonna get into the specifics of the delivery.

So you refuse to acknowledge whether you were on this group chat?

It take you that long to open your mouth?

The last person in the clip there was CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Uh, question, how else did John Ratcliffe defend the text in that hearing?

The CIA director defended the text by also letting everyone know that, quote,

Pete Hexhepf wasn't drunk when it happened.

Now, I don't know if that make it better or worse.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, the guy who started the text thread in the first place, he was not at the hearing, but that didn't stop him from trying to explain it.

Question, how did Waltz say that the mistext happened?

I tell that to my girl when she sees certain stuff in my DMs.

Here's how Waltz explained the mistext himself.

I'm sure everybody out there has had a contact where it was said one person and then a different phone number.

But you've never talked to him before, so how's the number on your phone?

I mean, I'm not an expert on any of this, but it's just curious. How's the number on your phone?

Well, if you have somebody else's contact, and then it... and then somehow it gets sucked in.

So Waltz stumbled through that answer like Viola Davis just asked him.

Why is your penis on a dead girl's phone?

Here's how other Republicans are categorizing the mistext.

Yeah, look, it's a mistake, and we got to move on.

They've acknowledged that there was an error, and they're correcting it.

Those who do not make mistakes can throw the first stone.
