In this explosive episode of the Investigate Earth Podcast, we dive headfirst into Signalgate—the shocking leak of high-level war plans after National Security Adviser Mike Waltz accidentally added The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg into a private Signal group chat. This chat, intended for discussions between top U.S. officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, was meant to be a secure communication about potential military operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

But was it truly an accident, or something far more sinister? Was this an innocent technical glitch, a botched handling of sensitive information, or a deliberate ploy to leak highly classified details for political gain? And what does this say about the reliability of encrypted messaging platforms like Signal when it comes to matters of national security? Tonight, we explore all the possibilities. We dissect Waltz's claim that Goldberg’s number was “sucked into” his phone by accident, the journalist's adamant denial, and the potential motives behind such a high-profile breach. From operational incompetence to intentional sabotage, no angle is off-limits. Join us as we unravel the tangled web of Signalgate and question who—or what—might really be behind this unprecedented breach.
