Holiday says foreign adversaries exploit American media system to make country war itself

What was said

"We're so consumed in America by our political disagreements that we forget that there's people outside America that are also trying to steer and navigate this discourse... Our enemies see these gaping holes in our media system and they see these people who are basically available to the highest bidder and they're like, 'Do I want to go to a war with America or do I want to make America go to war with itself?'"

Holiday warns that foreign adversaries are exploiting vulnerabilities in America's media ecosystem by amplifying domestic divisions rather than engaging in direct conflict. He argues Americans are so focused on left-versus-right battles that they ignore external manipulation from nations like Russia, China, and Iran. Holiday references the Jade Helm conspiracy as an example of foreign-amplified disinformation that reached state-level government response, illustrating how susceptible the system is to exploitation.
