Pardon the Politics
Signal Hotline Bling
In this wildly insightful (and hilarious) episode of Pardon the Politics, Jeezy and Manny wade through the pollen clouds and into a full-blown national security scandal — yes, a U.S. military breach via a group chat on Signal. Dubbed Signalgate, the leak accidentally added The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief into a top-level conversation about military strikes in Yemen. From there? Pure chaos.
They dive into the tangled web of encrypted apps, shady transparency, and whether Pete Hegseth is running war plans through ChatGPT (complete with double hyphens). Plus: AI conspiracies, tin foil theories, and why GOP officials are sweating over tight margins and pulled nominations.
With humor, depth, and just the right amount of shade, this episode covers everything from allergy season to international intelligence leaks — all while asking: why does the U.S. government use the same messaging app as your friend group?
👉 Tap in. You won’t want to miss this breakdown of politics, tech, and the group chat gone wild.
