May 15, 2023
Waltz (9:00 am ET): Bureaucratic day ahead team. The House is advancing the defense bill. The White House budget delay isn’t looking good.
Vance (9:15 am ET): Honestly, the White House budget delay is going to have repercussions. It’s just not good politics. 🏛️
Hegseth (9:30 am ET): Agreed, brother Vance. Yet, we keep pushing forward. Unyielding.
Rubio (9:35 am ET): There’s definitely room for evaluation here, gentlemen. We need to look at the bigger picture.
Gabbard (10:00 am ET): Marco, you always know just what to say. And completely agree with you. 🌍💫
Hegseth (10:15 am ET): Easy there, Gabbard. Rubio is just doing his job.
Miller (10:30 am ET): This is all a circus. The House, the Senate, the budget… it’s all a show to distract the public.
Kent (11:00 am ET): I’d agree, Miller. This situation is riddled with incompetency.
Bessent (11:15 am ET): Let’s focus on the issue at hand, gentlemen. Where are we with the budget delay?
Ratcliffe (11:30 am ET): The delay is still in effect. We’re expecting an update later today.
Wiles (11:45 am ET): We’re being played. The delay is a deliberate move by the White House.
Witkoff (12:00 pm ET): A move for what, exactly, Wiles? What could they possibly gain from this?
Waltz (12.15 pm ET): A delay could allow them time to manipulate elements of the budget behind closed doors. All speculation at this point though.
Vance (12:30 pm ET): Agreed. But we ought to be ready for anything. Can’t let our guard down.
Rubio (1:00 pm ET): Let’s not jump to conclusions, though. We need to focus on the facts and what we can actually control.
Miller (1:15 pm ET): We should control the narrative. I am tired of playing defense. 🗣️🎙️
Hegseth (1:30 pm ET): Well said! Let’s be the ones setting the game. The public need to know where we stand on the matters at hand.
Gabbard (2:00 pm ET): Agreed! So, where do we stand? 🤔
Waltz (2:30 pm ET): We need to hold the administration accountable for this delay and ensure they answer to the public.
Kent (3:00 pm ET): And we must be transparent about our stance. We hold no loyalties to parties, only to the nation. 🇺🇸
Wiles (3:30 pm ET): We’re not letting this slide. Defense is vital. We need a proper budget to safeguard our nation’s future.
Witkoff (4:00 pm ET): Let’s get this sorted out. We need a united front, both in terms of our defense policies and our budget.
Ratcliffe (4:30 pm ET): We need to show the public that we are committed to their safety and the nation’s security. That’s the bottom line. 🎯
Miller (5:00 pm ET): I’ll draft a statement. Let’s show our strength and unity.
Vance (5:30 pm ET): That’s what I like to hear. Let’s get to it, team! 💪🔥
Rubio (6:00 pm ET): Agreed. We need to be proactive and get ahead of this issue.
Hegseth (6:30 pm ET): We go on the offense now. For the people!
