What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWelcome back. President Trump told a reporter in the Oval Office to be quiet, and then asked him whether he was a sick person.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJuniper Salcedo has turned that into a morning routine, and she joins us now.
Juniper SalcedoThanks, Vera. Step one is the Wait Wait Wait Blend, my sleeping tea, and use code QUIET twenty for ten percent off.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe reporter was Andrew Feinberg. He was asking about the new golf course at East Potomac Park. How is that a routine?
Juniper SalcedoBecause the president said, 'Quiet, quiet,' and that is a breathing cue. You do it twice, then you hydrate.
Juniper SalcedoThe code is QUIET twenty seven, by the way.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwenty seven? A minute ago it was twenty.
Juniper SalcedoThe code evolves, Vera.
Juniper SalcedoStep two is you tell the reporter, 'Not that I know of, sir,' which is what he said when asked if he was a sick person.
Juniper SalcedoCalm, direct, very low sugar.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDid the Vice President get a step? He called the question fundamentally dishonest, according to Mediaite.
Juniper SalcedoHe gets the bonus step, where you ask everyone to identify themselves. Use code QUIET twenty seven four four one for that one.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHas anyone ever used that code?
Juniper SalcedoNo. It is still in beta, and the code is QUIET twenty seven four four one nine.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the code is QUIET plus nine digits, and Juniper, I'm going to be quiet now.
