The cabinet members discussed the pending tech regulation legislation, emphasizing the need to balance regulation and innovation. While some members expressed skepticism about certain aspects of the bill, there was a general agreement on the importance of supporting innovation.
Hegseth (11:45 am ET): Alright gents, let’s talk about the pending tech regulation legislation. I know it’s a political minefield but it’s something we got to tackle. 💪🇺🇸
Vance (11:48 am ET): I’ve been over it. There’s a lot of meat there. Some of it’s good, some of it… well, not so much. Also, have any of you tried this new Protein-Packed Borscht? Amazing stuff… puts hair on your chest.
Rubio (11:50 am ET): JD, we’re not talking about food here. But yes, I agree, the bill has some questionable points but it is important to support innovation.
Waltz (11:54 am ET): Agree, Marco. We must strike a balance between regulation and innovation. It’s a fine line.
Miller (12:01 pm ET): Striking balances… sounds like something the liberals would say 🙄
Gabbard (12:02 pm ET): Stephen, we can’t just reject things because of who proposes them.
Hegseth (12:03 pm ET): I like my tech like my steak. Unregulated and juicy. 🔥 🥩
Wiles (12:07 pm ET): Haha, Pete. But jokes aside, it’s critical that we consider the implications of this bill on the tech industry.
Rubio (12:10 pm ET): I agree with Susie. Also, Tulsi, that new profile picture of yours… looking good.
Gabbard (12:12 pm ET): Thanks, Marco… 😊
Witkoff (12:14 pm ET): We’re definitely not going to solve this right now but it’s good that we’re discussing it. And Pete, can you grill me one of those steaks you’re talking about?
Vance (12:16 pm ET): We also need to consider how this bill might affect relations with China, given their dominance in this industry. But enough of that, I’m off to my hot yoga class. Wish me luck!
Kent (12:20 pm ET): Good luck, JD. And remember, it’s not sitting around a fire eating borscht, but it’ll do.
Ratcliffe (12:24 pm ET): Well, I’m glad we can manage to discuss serious issues and keep the mood light. We should probably circle back to the tech regulation talk next meeting.
Hegseth (12:27 pm ET): Agreed, John. And JD, don’t pull a muscle, we need your brain power for this tech stuff. 🙏 💪
Bessent (12:30 pm ET): This conversation just made my day. Looking forward to more fruitful discussions in the future!
