In the leaked conversation, cabinet members discussed various topics including personal investments in biotech and defense stocks, skepticism towards ’therapeutics,’ and concerns about Europe’s defense investments amidst ongoing national security issues.
Vance (7:30 am ET): Just saw the headline about the Protagonist Therapeutics shares. Any of you investing in biotech?
Gabbard (7:33 am ET): I’ll leave the big bucks to you, Vance. I’m just trying to keep up with the latest season of Stranger Things. 🍿🎥
Rubio (7:35 am ET): Interesting, Vance. I’ve been looking to diversify my investments. Who’s advising you on this?
Miller (7:38 am ET): I don’t trust anything with the word ‘therapeutics’ after this past year. 👽
Hegseth (7:39 am ET): I say invest in defense stocks. They’re always a good bet. 💪🇺🇸
Waltz (7:41 am ET): Let’s not forget to focus, gentlemen. We have serious national security issues at hand.
Vance (7:45 am ET): I agree with Waltz. But also, can someone explain to me why we’re bailing out Europe again while they focus on trade and fail to invest in their defense? 💸💸💸
Hegseth (7:48 am ET): Amen, Vance. Nothing like a European free ride. Maybe they can invest some of their trade money in defense.
Gabbard (7:49 am ET): Speaking of Europe, did anyone see the latest episode of Money Heist? Seriously addicting. 💰🔫
Bessent (7:51 am ET): Tulsi, I’d recommend focusing on our current agenda. Better for you, trust me.
Ratcliffe (7:53 am ET): Let’s get back on track, team. Any update on the mission status, Pete?
Hegseth (7:55 am ET): CENTCOM confirms we’re a go for launch. Our Warriors are getting ready.
Rubio (7:56 am ET): Thanks for the update, Pete. Keep us in the loop.
Wiles (7:58 am ET): Godspeed to our Warriors indeed.
Witkoff (8:00 am ET): Just got off the phone with our Middle East contacts. The situation is…tense.
Vance (8:04 am ET): I’ll say a prayer for victory. And for Europe to pick up their own tab for a change. 🙏
Kent (8:06 am ET): Maybe we can redirect our victorious momentum to dealing with the European issue after this, Vance. 💪🇺🇸
