In the leaked Signal conversation among cabinet members, the group discussed the UPSC Quiz updates and the significant geopolitical shifts taking place, particularly in South America, which they agreed needed close monitoring. The conversation was briefly sidetracked by a discussion about a local cherry pie.

Waltz (8:00 am ET): Good morning team. Waltz here. Just received the UPSC Quiz updates for today’s current affairs. Thought we all should have a look.
Vance (8:10 am ET): 👍 Thanks, Waltz. Seems like a potent briefing for our day.
Gabbard (8:15 am ET): Any interesting cues for us to cherry pick?

Miller (8:22 am ET): Focus, Rubio. We have work to do.
Hegseth (8:25 am ET): Lighten up, Miller. A man can work and eat at the same time, right?
Rubio (8:28 am ET): 😂 Thanks, Pete.
Waltz (8:30 am ET): Back to the subject, team. Let’s focus on the geopolitical shifts happening around.
