The leaked conversation reveals a discussion among cabinet members about the escalating situation in Britain, with some members considering the potential implementation of similar anti-subversion laws domestically, while also expressing concerns about maintaining commitments to free speech.
May 12, 2021
Waltz (9:15 am ET): Morning team, the situation in Britain is escalating. Our allies might resort to anti-subversion laws.
Vance (9:20 am ET): This is not the most desirable outcome, but it might also pave the way for us to leverage similar strategies domestically.
Hegseth (9:23 am ET): This would be a POWER move 💪🔥. Just imagine if we could silence our own detractors as easily.
Rubio (9:25 am ET): I’m inclined to agree with you, JD. Though we should tread carefully, considering our commitment to free speech.
Miller (9:27 am ET): Free speech for true patriots, Marco, not liberal propaganda machines.
Vance (9:29 am ET): Though, we must be careful not to undermine our own values in the process.
Gabbard (9:30 am ET): Did anybody catch that episode of The Bachelorette last night? 🌹
Rubio (9:35 am ET): Tulsi, this isn’t the time nor place for that. We are in the middle of a serious discussion.
Waltz (9:40 am ET): Let’s stay on topic, guys. Britain’s potential move could have far-reaching consequences.
Wiles (9:42 am ET): Could we possibly utilize the situation to our advantage? Could be quite a response to the liberal media…
Vance (9:45 am ET): I am open to using this to our advantage. However, it must be done very subtly, with a clear understanding of potential backlash.
Witkoff (9:48 am ET): JD is right. We should always be mindful of potential push-back from the public and media.
Gabbard (9:50 am ET): Rubio, I was kidding. Just trying to lighten the mood a little. 🙃
Hegseth (9:58 am ET): Enough with the pop culture references. We’re not on a reality show; we’re in the government. We should all be focusing on making America great again.
Bessent (10:03 am ET): I agree with Pete. Let’s refocus and consider how we can turn this situation in Britain to our favor.
Kent (10:10 am ET): Before proceeding, we need to have a clear-cut strategy. Also, any move we make should reinforce our stance and not dilute it.
Ratcliffe (10:14 am ET): Echoing what Joe said. We need to be smart about this.
Rubio (10:20 am ET): Sure, Tulsi. Maybe next time pick a less pivotal moment for a joke. I agree with JD, Joe, and John, though. We need to tread carefully.
Miller (10:25 am ET): I concur with everyone. Let’s come up with a plan that capitalizes on this situation and strengthens our standing.
Waltz (10:30 am ET): I’ll arrange a think tank session for us. Let’s bring our best ideas to the table later today.
