From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle.
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.
And welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place we get views from across the political spectrum,
some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take.
I'm your host, Isaac Sol. Today is Wednesday, April 23rd. And this is the second
time I've recorded this podcast because I recorded the entire thing this morning and then didn't save
it after I Xed out of our recording program, which I've never done before. So take two,
we are covering Pete Hegseth
and a bunch of the controversy
that has been following him around.
Before we jump in though,
I wanna give you a quick heads up that on Friday,
I'm gonna be publishing a piece
about the immigration policies that we lived under
during President Biden's term.
Last week, as part of my take,
I made the case briefly that President Biden and Democrats
really did make a mess of immigration during his term.
I did not think this was a particularly controversial take
to have, but the response to it made me think
that maybe it was worth fleshing that position out.
I know for many of our listeners and readers
that maybe it was an uncontroversial thing to say,
but I realized that a lot of people, probably people on the left, Democratic voters, don't
actually think Biden deserves blame for what happened when he was president on the immigration
issue because there was a deal that Trump tanked and COVID and all this other stuff.
I think they're wrong.
And so I'm going to take some time to explain why, because I think it's an important part of what we're witnessing now.
Alright, with that, I'm gonna send it over to John for today's main pod,
and I'll be back for my take.
Thanks, Isaac, and welcome, everybody.
Here are your quick hits for today.
First up, the Trump administration has reportedly presented Ukraine with a final offer for a
peace deal with Russia, which includes U.S. recognition of Crimea as a Russian territory
and unofficial recognition of Russian control of most areas occupied since the start of
the war.
The U.S. expects Ukraine's response by Wednesday.
Number 2.
President Donald Trump said he does not plan to fire Federal Reserve Chair
Jerome Powell, but reiterated that Powell should lower interest rates.
President Trump also said that current U.S. tariffs on China would come down substantially.
Number three, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle
Voice of America and other outlets under the U.S. Agency for Global Media, directing
the agency to reinstate employees placed on leave.
Separately, the Environmental Protection Agency moved to fire approximately 280 workers involved
with environmental justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
4.
The Supreme Court appeared likely to side with a group of parents who want to opt their
children out of educational content that includes LGBTQ plus themes.
Separately, a federal jury found the New York Times not liable for allegedly defaming Sarah
Palin in a 2017 editorial about gun control.
And number five, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration
Commissioner Marty McCary said the FDA plans
to revoke authorization of two synthetic food colorings and work with food producers to
phase out six others by the New York Times that Hegseth shared
information about airstrikes in Yemen on March 15th in a group chat on Signal that included
his wife, included his brother, and his personal attorney.
In the past week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been the subject of scrutiny from
former staffers and anonymous sources within the federal government, leading to an unconfirmed
report that President Donald Trump was considering replacing him.
On Saturday, April 19, three senior Department of Defense officials who had been fired for
allegedly leaking sensitive information criticized their dismissals in a public statement on
X.
Then on Sunday, The New York Times reported
that Hegseth shared sensitive information
about U.S. strikes in Yemen in a second signal chat
that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer.
Also on Sunday, former Chief Pentagon spokesman
John Oliot wrote an op-ed in Politico
describing the DOD as in total chaos under Hegseth
and calling for his firing.
Finally, NPR reported that the White House had begun to search for Hegseth's
replacement on Monday, though the White House denied the report.
For context, on March 24th, the Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg,
reported that he had been added to a group chat on Signal, a free encrypted
messaging app with Trump administration
officials as they discussed impending military operations against the Houthis in Yemen.
Monday's New York Times article stated that Hegseth posted the same information in the
second Signal chat on the same day, against warnings from an aide not to share sensitive
information over unsecured networks.
Weeks later, on April 15th, two senior Pentagon officials,
Senior Advisor Dan Caldwell
and Pentagon Deputy Chief of Staff Darren Selnick,
were placed on administrative leave
while the DOD investigated alleged leaks
of sensitive information that included reports
about Elon Musk's visit to the Pentagon
and military plans regarding the Panama Canal,
the Red Sea, and Ukraine.
Caldwell, Selnick, and Colin Carroll, the chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Steven
Feinberg, were then fired on April 18 for mishandling classified information.
The three officials disputed the DOD's reasoning, saying,
Unnamed Pentagon officials have slandered our character with baseless attacks on our
way out the door.
Oliak corroborated this sentiment in his Politico op-ed, writing that Hegseth's team has developed
a habit of spreading flat-out, easily debunked falsehoods anonymously about their colleagues
on their way out the door.
Although they were critical of the DOJ, Caldwell, Selnek, Carroll, and Olyot all expressed continued
support for President Trump in their writings.
Secretary Hegseth denied the accounts from the fired officials in an interview with Fox
News' Brian Kilmeade on Monday.
None of this is based in reality, Hexeth said.
Those folks who were leaking, who have been pushed out of the building, are now attempting
to leak and sabotage the president's agenda.
The White House expressed support for Secretary Hexseth and pushed back against the recent
reports.
He's doing a great job.
Ask the Houthis how he's doing, President Donald Trump said, while White House Press
Secretary Caroline Levitt dismissed the NPR report as fake news based on one anonymous
source who clearly has no idea what they're talking about.
Today we'll explore what the left and right are saying about Secretary Hegseth, and then Isaac's take.
We'll be right back after this quick break.

Alright, first up let's start with what the left is saying.
The left argues Hegseth has again shown he is not fit to be defense secretary.
Some suggest his time at the Pentagon may be coming to an end.
Others say Trump is standing by Hegseth in defiance of the media and his critics.
In the Atlantic, David A. Graham said Hegseth is running out of excuses.
Of course, Pete Hegseth had other signal chats.
The latest article, like Goldberg's, raises questions about whether highly classified
information is really safe.
Members of the military expressed anger after the first leak, noting that breaches could
put them in danger and that if they had handled such material the same way, they would have
received serious discipline, Graham wrote. The fact that four separate people were willing to speak out about this to the Trump-detested
New York Times is an indication of dysfunction, just as the constant stream of leaks from
within the first Trump White House laid bare the internecine warfare there.
A secretary facing the scandals that Hegseth has might well have been forced out by now
in any other administration, though to be fair, they has might well have been forced out by now in any other administration,
though to be fair, they might also never have been confirmed or even nominated in the first
place.
The president's reluctance to get rid of Hegseth apparently stems from his belief that
he let the media push him around too much during his first term and that if he cans
any official who's under fire, he will only encourage and empower the press, Graham said.
This is a dangerous game to play with national security, though.
If Trump is unwilling to take a political loss now, what kind of geopolitical loss does
he risk later?
In the American Prospect, Ryan Cooper suggested, Hegseth may be too incompetent even for Trump.
It was just less than a month ago when Hank Seth was embroiled in a scandal that would
have meant the end of his career and permanent ignominy for any official in a normal administration,
Cooper wrote.
It's hard to know where to start with these stories.
For one thing, all these group chats basically have to be a violation of multiple laws regarding
classified information.
Now, American law in this area, particularly the Espionage Act, is kind of a mess.
People like reality winner and Charles Littlejohn have gone to prison for years for disclosing
information that didn't harm national security in the slightest.
One can only speculate as to the motives of whoever leaked these chats to the Times.
Perhaps a certain faction among Trump's herd of squabbling morons is embarrassed by Hexeth
and trying to get him fired.
Or perhaps members of the military, fed up with Hexeth putting American soldiers' lives
at risk or angry about being fired for no reason, got wind of them, Cooper said.
The sheer number of possibilities is another demonstration of why you don't conduct highly
sensitive discussions on your personal cell phone.
At least the Russians and the Chinese, and probably a half-dozen other nations, must
be assumed to have a periscope into top American military communications at all times.
In CNN, Steven Collinson wrote about why Hegseth looks safe for now.
President Donald Trump spent huge political capital getting Hegseth confirmed because
the Pentagon chief mirrors Trump's own riotous political identity and instincts.
The point of his selection was to show the conventions and traits that normally define
top national security officials don't apply in the president's tear-it-down second term,
Collinson said.
This is why Hegseth seems safe for now despite stunning new revelations that he shared sensitive military
plans in a group chat that included his wife and brother, among others, following an earlier
scandal over his communicating details about strikes on Yemen in a chat with top officials.
Firing Hegseth three months into a tenure that started with national security experts
warning he was dangerously unprepared to lead the Pentagon would force
and embarrass Trump to admit he'd made a mistake, Cullinson wrote.
And critically, Hegseth has not yet committed the unpardonable transgression that led to
the departure of two Trump first-term defense secretaries, trying to thwart the president.
Fresh drama around Hegseth is another reminder that the 47th president's orbit doesn't follow
the rules of normal administrations, in which the breach of sensitive information would
be a career-ending disgrace.
Alright that is it for what the left is saying, which brings us to what the right is saying.
The right mostly backs Hegseth, suggesting the attacks on him are being led by protectors
of the status quo in the Defense Department.
Some say Trump should continue to stand behind Hegseth.
Others suggest Hegseth is validating the concerns of his critics.
In The Federalist, Sean Fleetwood said, the new anti-Hegseth op illustrates the media's
campaign to protect the Pentagon's status quo.
While Democrats have predictably latched onto these new hatchet jobs to re-up their demands
for Hegseth to lose his job, the media's latest bombshells aren't the earth-shattering
scandals they wish they were.
If anything, the use of anonymous sources and disgruntled former colleagues is straight
out of the same playbook these journalists have been running to try and oust Hegseth
since he was tapped to lead the Pentagon last year, Fleetwood wrote.
The DC establishment's continued campaign to oust Hegseth comes from its fervent opposition
to the much-needed change he's bringing to the Pentagon.
Unlike his predecessors, Hegseth is someone who comes from outside this incestuous system
that's responsible for the decay witnessed throughout America's armed forces.
Much like Trump, he's a disruptor, and by every measure he's doing exactly what the
president appointed him to do, Fleetwood said.
The loudest voices within the D.C. establishment aren't concerned that Hegseth doesn't have
what it takes to lead the Pentagon.
Rather, they're afraid of the changes he is and will continue to implement that directly
disrupt the status quo they've spent years protecting.
In hot air, Ed Morrissey wrote about Trump's continued confidence in Hegseth.
"'This is just the same signal scandal dressed up again for a rerun in April.
Yawn, Morrissey said.
That's not to say these were good practices by the Natsac team at the White House.
Hopefully, they learned a lesson about using chat platforms for sensitive discussions,
especially after letting Jeffrey Goldberg into the room.
However, this is hardly the stuff of dismissals, especially lately and especially at the DOD.
Did anyone in the media or the DOD demand the firing of Lloyd Austin when he went AWOL
at the same time his deputy was on vacation?
Did Austin and others get fired for botching the Kabul withdrawal?
This is what the media does to officials they don't like.
They didn't do it to Austin, even though he imminently deserved it for Afghanistan and
his inexplicable disappearance without notice.
The media didn't bother to wonder why Austin didn't get cashiered for either of those
debacles, so their interest isn't in national security or military readiness and not even
in government accountability.
They simply want to dismantle the Trump administration by any means necessary, and Trump won't play
that game with them.
In the dispatch, Michael Warren asked, will Pete Hegseth be Trump's first cabinet casualty?
Chaos and upheaval plague the Office of the Secretary of Defense as the fallout from last
month's Signalgate revelations persists.
All of it seems to stem from the management style, or lack thereof, of Pete Hegseth, Warren
wrote.
In the last week, Hegseth has fired most of his inner circle
of advisors, ostensibly in response
to an investigation into leaks.
Joe Casper, Hegseth's chief of staff,
who called for the investigation,
is also reportedly leaving for another post
at the department.
Meanwhile, two people with knowledge
of the department's inner functions
say much of the policy work there has ground to a halt.
But part of that inertia is thanks to Hegseth's order for an 8% cut to the defense budget
with a vague promise to redirect funding toward other Pentagon priorities.
But that instruction is the exception for Hegseth, who spends a lot more time than his
predecessors in the job on social media and doing television
hits, Warren said.
Whether Twitter posts and Fox News hits will save Hegseth remains to be seen, though the
report that the White House is already looking for a successor is not a good sign that the
president has much confidence in him. his take. All right, that is it for it with the left and the right are saying, which brings us
to my take.
So honestly, I'm not really sure what people were expecting to pull from some writing that
I did in January.
I'll just read this quote, the vast majority of the issues facing our Department
of Defense involve wasteful spending, inventory issues,
shaky leadership, and the fact we are falling behind
on advanced military technology.
I do not see any reason to believe Hegseth,
who as a leader of several smaller,
less complicated organizations has been followed
by allegations of poor leadership,
disorganization, sexual misconduct, poor financial management, and drunkenness
is going to be the right person to solve these issues.
This is the Hegseth story.
I just have to say this.
Everything he touches turns to chaos.
This was what we found out in his confirmation hearing.
Since that hearing, Hegseth has proven himself
to be wholly and obviously unqualified
to lead a department that employs three million people
and has a budget of over $800 billion.
In a matter of weeks, Hegseth has been implicated
in the Signal Chat controversy, a spate of leaks,
another Signal Chat scandal
that involves sending classified information
to his family members, and then resignations and dismissals
of some of his closest allies and top aides.
We're not even at the 100 day mark yet.
As tired as the exercise of what if some official
from the other party did this stuff can be,
it's worthwhile nonetheless.
The previous defense secretary, Lloyd Austin,
underwent surgery to treat prostate cancer,
then spent three days in the hospital due to complications from his surgery. He had his deputy assume his
responsibilities for a couple of days and kept his hospitalization hidden from the public
and the president, later justifying his actions by asking for privacy. In Tangle, I called
Austin's absence an inexcusable and fireable offense. And I said it was incomprehensible that Biden would not relieve
him of his duties. I was not ambiguous. You don't get to be defense secretary and then hide prostate
cancer from the country and go AWOL after a medical procedure. Commentators from the right
seem to unanimously agree and Austin's defenders looked like little more than Democratic Party
sycophants. What Hegseth has done in these first few months
is at least as inexcusable and fireable.
The first reported signal chat alone
should have cost him his job,
not just using an unauthorized chat platform
to share details of classified war plans,
and yes, they were obviously classified war plans,
but inadvertently sharing them with a reporter
and then refusing to take
any responsibility for it.
His office by his own telling is leaking like a sea, which is also his responsibility, as
the people closest to the secretary are the people he hired.
More broadly, the DOD is in complete disarray.
Stories about Hegseth attempting to give Elon Musk access to the most sensitive materials
we have about China
or about the tempted coups inside the Pentagon
haven't even reached the public consciousness yet.
Anyone who is calling for Austin's resignation
should be calling for Hegseth to step down too.
Now, Hegseth is running the predictable and obvious play,
framing the last month of news
as some kind of hit campaign coordinated by the media
and anonymous leakers
who want to sabotage President Trump. On the contrary, Hegseth is ducking accountability
for a mess entirely of his own making. He fired a group of top aides in the midst of an investigation
that he has admitted may prove that they were innocent. One of the aides claims he was already
exonerated. Dan Caldwell immediately went on Tucker Carlson's new show to tell his story,
making the case that he was dismissed for opposing a strike on Iran. And, Hegseth's
description of the investigation has not made any sense. He's called these aides leakers over and
over again, yet says they still may be innocent. The administration has claimed the aides had their
phones examined and were given polygraph tests, but the investigation reportedly did not include those steps.
Those aides may very well have leaked information
before or after Hegseth did.
I personally have no idea,
but he doesn't seem to know either.
The most damning statement though,
it wasn't made anonymously.
It was written by John Elliott.
In January, Elliott argued unequivocally
that Hegseth was the best man for the job.
Now, after experiencing Hegseth's dysfunctional leadership firsthand, he insists the president
must fire his secretary of defense to be able to execute his agenda.
This is not a vague smear from the media.
This is not an anonymous leak.
This is a stone cold Trump ally who, after working directly for Hegseth, whom he supported,
is now warning the country that we need to cut bait.
It's worth noting too, many of Hegseth's critics are conservatives.
Unfortunately, Trump seems determined to dig in.
Though credible reports indicate the Trump administration is already searching for his
replacement, I could easily see Trump keeping Hegseth on out of a desire to resist any
calls for action from his number one enemy, the media. As Steven Collinson put it, firing Hegseth
three months into a tenure that started with national security experts warning he was dangerously
unprepared to leave the Pentagon would force and embarrass Trump to admit he'd made a mistake.
To be fair to Trump, firing a defense secretary is close to unprecedented, and the
forced resignations of previous secretaries have mostly followed much larger issues, like
Donald Rumsfeld being forced out of his handling of the Iraq War. Trump could easily keep pushing
a Hegseth vs the media narrative while touting increased military recruitment and likely mitigate
the political risk of keeping him around, but I don't think he should.
Again, this was predictable.
In our very first coverage of Trump's cabinet appointees, I was most critical of three picks
— Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth.
Gaetz obviously didn't even make it to a vote.
Gabbard has so far been a major disappointment on her promises to be transparent and hold
leakers accountable, a standard that would have already sent Hegseth out the door. And Hegseth, as I think is obvious
by now, is clearly not up to the job. Just as Hegseth is responsible for the staff he hired,
President Trump bears the blame for these picks. But he has plenty of time to set them right,
and he should start by finding a competent replacement for Hegseth, who is a self-evidently
incompetent leader holding
one of the most important jobs in the country.
Trump should do that now before we actually need to rely on Hegseth and his inadequate
leadership skills to defend us from any potential future threats.
We'll be right back after this quick break.

All right, that is it for my take, which brings us to your questions answered.
This is a fairly spicy one from an anonymous reader
in St. Augustine, Florida, who said,
if you were considered a moderate,
why don't we keep a checklist of your daily positions?
Left, neutral, right.
I already know as well as you
that it will end up left majority by a long shot.
NPR radio went the same way as your posts
and NPR is just another CNN copycat.
How sad you have turned out to be.
Okay.
I will say this is a bit exhausting, but you know, you write publicly,
you do this stuff publicly, you have to accept that these kinds of criticisms are going to come
and you need to be able to address them. So what really matters here is how you define left and
right and if right just means supporting President Trump's position. On Kilmar Abrego-Garcia's imprisonment in El Salvador, my biggest takeaway was that the
federal government was not granting him due process. I think that was a pretty centrist position,
but this holding it put me on the left for disagreeing with the Trump administration.
Judge J. Harvey Wilkinson III, a conservative Reagan-appointed district judge in Texas,
blistered the Trump administration's challenge
to a lower court's ruling.
Is he on the left?
And how would the many conservative commentators
who took similar stances be classified?
Or when we covered the first signal lead controversy,
I said that it was a misuse of information handling
that required accountability.
I think that was a pretty centrist position.
But again, does holding it put me on the
left for disagreeing with the Trump administration? National Review's Noah Rothman, a respected
columnist with strong conservative bona fides, wrote that the leak was, quote, undermining U.S.
security in measurable ways, end quote. I doubt anyone would accuse Rothman of being on the left.
For yet another example, every time we've covered the Trump administration's tariff plan, I've criticized it for being harmful to our economy and lacking strategic
vision. I think that opposition to tariffs is actually a traditional free market conservative
position. Peter Navarro, the White House advisor behind Trump's tariff policy, has pushed
for higher taxes on the rich and has run for office as a Democrat four times. You get the
point.
Finally, while I have never personally done a meta-analysis of all of Tangle's posts
and see where I landed, we have been rated center and nonpartisan by three major media
watchdogs.
I've also asked Rock to analyze 300 of my posts, which it said it was incapable of doing,
but it did take a sample of 15 MyTakes at random
and found that 12 of the 15 were center positions.
Two were rated left, one for denying election fraud claims,
another for supporting the vaccine rollout during COVID,
and one was rated other.
I've actually linked to my full exchange with Grox.
You can read it to see the proof for yourself.
It has also analyzed my personal bias
and given encouraging answers. So before attacking me, it might be worth thinking
about how your own personal biases are affecting
the lens you see me through.
All right, that is it for your questions answered.
I'm gonna send it back to John for the rest of the pod.
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Peace. Thanks, Isaac. Here's your Under the Radar story for today, folks.
In recent weeks, the Trump administration has heard proposals from various advocates
on strategies to increase the birth rate in the United States. The ideas have ranged from
scholarship allocations for married people or parents to a baby bonus for mothers after
delivery to government funding
for education on conception.
The U.S. birthrate has declined since 2007, raising concerns across diverse swaths of
society who seek to reverse course.
While some promote child rearing to uphold traditional family values, others emphasize
the economic and social consequences of a low birthrate and encouraged the use of reproductive
technologies like in vitro fertilization. The White House says it is hearing out all ideas,
but has not indicated which path it might pursue. The New York Times has this story,
and there's a link in today's episode description.
Alright, next up is our numbers section.
The length of time that Robert McNamara served as Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968
was seven years and 39 days, the longest tenure for a Secretary of Defense in U.S. history.
The length of time that Elliot Richardson served as Secretary of Defense in 1973 was
114 days, the shortest tenure for a Secretary
of Defense in U.S. history.
Richardson left the position after he was appointed U.S. Attorney General.
The percentage of Americans who think Secretary of Defense Pete Hagstaff should resign and
stay on the job, respectively, is 54 percent and 22 percent, according to a March 2025
JL Partners poll.
The percentage of Republicans who think Haixeth
should resign and stay on the job respectively
is 38% and 33%.
The percentage of independents who think Haixeth
should resign and stay on the job respectively
is 54% and 20%.
The percentage of Democrats who think Haixeth
should resign and stay on the job, respectively,
is 68% and 14%.
And the approximate amount of cuts to Defense Department spending announced by Hegseth as
of April 10th is $6 billion.
And last but not least are Have a Nice Day Story.
Many assume that a dementia diagnosis is incompatible with a modern digital workplace.
However, new research from the University of Bath suggests that AI can help dementia
patients, potentially allowing them to continue their careers.
It is superb at solving many of the problems faced by those with dementia, such as finding
words, organizing text, and putting words in the right sequence.
Couple that with the potential offered by hybrid working for those with dementia.
And you can see the benefits for both employees and companies.
Dr. James Fletcher of the University of Bath School of Management said.
