> [@War Plans Signal Screwup- The Atlantic is publishing the full messages](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/war-plans-signal-screwup-the-atlantic-is-publishing-the-full-messages/1016136/153): > > Here’s an exchange between Congressman Jim Himes and Tulsi Gabbard. As I posted in the other thread: I don’t believe the transcript, as listed here, is correct. I searched for the video of the whole exchange, and all I could find was the short interaction that was posted in the X post. In this video, Himes begins speaking at the 34:25 mark. The interaction between Himes and Gabbard begins at about the 36:05 mark. His first question, as listed in the post, begins at the 39:40 mark. After he asks the question, the transcript in the post deviates greatly from the actual video. He asks one more question about Gabbard’s retweet; she answers that it came from her personal account, and shortly thereafter, he yields his time. IOW, the transcript of the exchange, as posted on X, and quoted by **Johnny\_L.A.** is not factual. Disclaimer: I did not the entire 2:31:27 of this video. [From key position, Rep.
