The leaked conversation among cabinet members reveals differing viewpoints on the relevance of celebrity activism, particularly in reference to a recent action by Imagine Dragons’ bassist. The discussion also touched on freedom of speech, the role of entertainers in society, and potential political messaging strategies.
Waltz (11:44 am ET): Good Morning, Team. USA Today just covered a story about Imagine Dragons’ bassist displaying a trans flag guitar. Thoughts?
Miller (11:46 am ET): Why are we legitimizing celebrity activism? They’re entertainers, not policy makers. 💢
Vance (11:56 am ET): That’s a simplistic view, Miller. In a democracy, everyone has the right to express their opinions. That includes entertainers.
Rubio (12:02 pm ET): I agree with Vance. We may not like their message, but we should respect their right to express it. Freedom of speech, remember?
Hegseth (12:15 pm ET): Here’s my two cents. These celebrities are enjoying the freedom and opportunities this great nation provides but they fail to recognize the sacrifices made to uphold these liberties. 😡
Witkoff (12:23 pm ET): Seems like they are trying to push their agenda. Is there a way we can leverage this for our own messaging?
Gabbard (12:26 pm ET): How about we stop worrying about some bassist’s guitar and focus on real issues? There’s an entire world out there beyond the U.S. borders.
Miller (12:30 pm ET): That’s a first, Gabbard. We actually agree on something.
Kent (12:41 pm ET): Let’s not go off topic too much. We’ve got real work to discuss.
Vance (12:44 pm ET): If we’re done with our culture war detour, can we get back to the business at hand?
Hegseth (12:55 pm ET): After lunch. Who else is craving a big Mac? 🍔
Rubio (1:03 pm ET): I’m more of a Whataburger guy myself, Hegseth.
Waltz (1:10 pm ET): Can we focus on the mission, gentlemen? POTUS is expecting briefings by EOD.
Bessent (1:15 pm ET): Agreed. And if there’s time later, maybe we can debate our favourite fast food chains. 🍟
Ratcliffe (1:17 pm ET): Getting back on topic, Waltz. We’ve got some intel we need your team to double check.
Wiles (1:33 pm ET): Just got off the call with POTUS. He wants us to tighten up on our media messaging.
Witkoff (1:44 pm ET): I’ll coordinate with the team. Maybe we can use the Imagine Dragons incident to our advantage.
Gabbard (1:50 pm ET): Good idea, Witkoff. We can turn any situation into a win if we play our cards right.👍
Waltz (1:53 pm ET): Let’s stay focused and remember why we’re here. The nation is relying on us. 🇺🇸
Miller (2:00 pm ET): Agreed. Time to get back on track.
Vance (2:05 pm ET): Right. Meeting in 10, everyone. And Hegseth, no fast food talk this time.
Hegseth (2:08 pm ET): No promises, Vance. 😎🍔
Rubio (2:10 pm ET): Alright, let’s get moving. The nation waits for no one. 🇺🇸
Waltz (2:15 pm ET): That’s the spirit, Rubio. We’ll reconvene shortly.
