The discussion among cabinet members revolved around the potential U.S. involvement in an attack on Iran at Israel’s request, considering strategic implications and potential global reactions, notably from Russia. The conversation was briefly sidetracked by a discussion on the quality of steak at a restaurant named ‘21’.
Vance (11:30 am ET): Israel’s request for the US to join an attack on Iran - thoughts?
Hegseth (11:35 am ET): 💪🇺🇸🇮🇱 Time we showed some solidarity with our partners in the Middle East. Iran’s been poking the bear for too long now.
Rubio (11:37 am ET): I think we need to look at this strategically. Israel’s our ally, yes, but we have to consider the potential fallout.
Gabbard (11:40 am ET): Might be interesting to see how Putin would react.🇷🇺💕
Vance (11:45 am ET): No doubt, he’d love the chaos.
Miller (12:02 pm ET): I hate to break up the geopolitical analysis, but has anyone tried the steak at ‘21’? It’s exceptional.
Waltz (12:05 pm ET): I can’t believe we’re veering towards food. As for Iran, I believe the best course of action would be…
Rubio (12:07 pm ET): Waltz, hold that thought. I need to second Miller’s steak recommendation. It’s worth every penny.
Miller (12:08 pm ET): Finally, someone with taste. 🥩💕
Vance (12:10 pm ET): Can we get back on topic? I’m not here for restaurant tips, I can use Yelp for that.
Hegseth (12:12 pm ET): Lighten up, Vance. A little locker room talk never hurt anyone.
Bessent (12:15 pm ET): I agree with Rubio. We should weigh our options carefully.
Ratcliffe (12:18 pm ET): Speaking of weighing, that steak at ‘21’ does sound tempting.
Wiles (12:20 pm ET): As fun as this conversation has been, I think we should refocus on Israel and Iran.
Witkoff (12:23 pm ET): Agreed, Wiles. And BTW, try the pastrami sandwich at Katz’s. Out of this world!
Gabbard (12:25 pm ET): I’d love to have a pastrami sandwich with you, Rubio.
Rubio (12:27 pm ET): Maybe after we deal with the Iran situation, Gabbard.
Kent (12:29 pm ET): So, back to the topic. We shouldn’t forget that any action we take will have consequences on a global scale.
Vance (12:32 pm ET): Man, I miss the days when our biggest concern was what movie to watch.
Hegseth (12:34 pm ET): ‘Zero Dark Thirty’, hands down. 🎥💪🇺🇸
Miller (12:40 pm ET): I think we all can agree, the world was simpler when ‘Friends’ was the biggest thing on TV.
Kent (12:43 pm ET): As much as I appreciate the sitcom references, let’s keep our focus on Israel’s request and the implications for the US.
Vance (12:45 pm ET): Right. We need a clear and concise plan moving forward.
Rubio (12:47 pm ET): Agreed, let’s focus.
Miller (12:50 pm ET): Do we know what our beloved leader thinks about this?
Hegseth (12:52 pm ET): If there’s one thing I know about Trump, it’s that he loves a good show. 💥🚀
Waltz (12:55 pm ET): That might be the case, but this isn’t a reality TV show. Lives are on the line here and we need a sensible approach.
Vance (1:00 pm ET): I agree with Waltz. Let’s prioritize strategic thinking over theatrics.
Gabbard (1:03 pm ET): I knew there was something I liked about you, Vance.
