CNN's Wolf Blitzer returned from a commercial break to summarize the multiple topics President Donald Trump addressed during his latest cabinet meeting on Thursday. The 79-year-old president addressed a variety of topics after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth provided a rosy update on the war in Iran, and Blitzer caught viewers up to speed before returning to the meeting at the White House."Welcome back, we're continuing to follow the news over at the White House, the cabinet meeting," Blitzer said. "The president over the last several minutes has been getting into all sorts of other issues beyond the war with Iran, beyond the TSA lines at the airports. He's talking about the ballroom that he's building at the White House, talking about the new Trump Kennedy Center building that he wants to close for two years and then rebuild. Talking about all sorts of other issues, going after Democrats at the same time. Let's go back to the cabinet."CNN cut back to Trump, who embarked on a four-minute tale about ink pens, with a brief discursion into his ongoing grievances against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and renovations at the central bank's headquarters, and the entire room burst into laughter as he wrapped up his story and handed off to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent."Well, sir, as always, you're a tough act to follow," Bessent said."All right," Blitzer said, as producers cut away. "We're going to continue to monitor this cabinet meeting. Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, just beginning his remarks, heard from the president. It's been going on now for almost an hour. We'll take another quick break." - YouTube youtu.be
