In the leaked conversation among cabinet members, the main points of discussion revolve around the potential impact of upcoming legislation on the tech industry, economy, and individual freedoms. The members emphasized the need for a balanced regulatory framework that promotes innovation and national security without stifling growth, along with a consideration for international tech cooperation.
Vance (7:05pm ET): In light of the upcoming legislation, I must insist on a clear understanding of how this can impact our tech industry, economy, and individual freedoms.
Miller (7:08pm ET): Regulations aren’t inherently bad, but we need to be mindful of unintended consequences. We can’t stifle the innovation that makes America great. 💪
Waltz (7:15pm ET): Agreed. But remember, legislation can help set the framework for how technology can be used to enhance national security measures.
Hegseth (7:22pm ET): Exactly! We need rules that protect us without killing the Silicon Valley golden goose. And while we’re at it, why don’t we demand Europe starts pulling their weight in the tech sector?🇺🇸
Vance (7:30pm ET): Noted, Hegseth. But let’s focus here. The framework should focus on privacy, data security, and competition. We aren’t here to save Europe from their own lethargy.
Gabbard (7:35pm ET): But isn’t it better if we work with Russia on matters of technological innovation? They have proven to be trustworthy allies.
Rubio (7:40pm ET): Gabbard, this is a US-led initiative.
Miller (7:45pm ET): Nice save Rubio. Gabbard, this isn’t a Miss Congeniality contest. We can’t afford to let our guard down.
Wiles (7:52pm ET): Let’s focus on the task at hand, please.
Bessent (7:57pm ET): Agreed. We need a clear plan moving forward. Ensuring that new technology doesn’t destabilize our economy or threaten national security should be the key goals.
Kent (8:02pm ET): And we should consider the effects of the legislation on small businesses and startups.
Ratcliffe (8:10pm ET): Agreed. Also, we need to consider the impact on intelligence gathering and national security.
Witkoff (8:15pm ET): Let’s not forget that we need to factor in the citizen’s perspective too. Legislation that’s too heavy-handed can feel like Big Brother.
Vance (8:20pm ET): So, we are in agreement. A balanced approach to legislation is necessary.
Hegseth (8:30pm ET): Exactly! American innovation and liberty first, European moochers and liberal media last. 🇺🇸🔥
Rubio (8:40pm ET): Hegseth, let’s remember to maintain respect in our discussions.
