Earlier today, WIRED shared a portion of a speech and a subsequent question-and-answer session that Jared Kushner presented to congressional interns on Monday. You can now hear the audio of Kushner's talk in its entirety.

While some portions of the recording have muffled sound, the hour-long address gives rare insight into the thought process of one of President Trump's most trusted advisers. Kushner rarely makes public statements, and his previously reported comments from the intern talk regarding the Middle East and Russia describe the administration's positions with unusual frankness.

Neither Kushner nor the White House have commented on the leak of what was supposed to have been an off-the-record address. Representative Gregg Harper, chairman of the Committee on House Administration, however, provided the following comment to WIRED: "The lecture series brings prominent professionals in their respective fields to speak to interns about a variety of topics, from policy discussions to advice on pursuing a successful career in Washington, DC, and around the world. Mr. Kushner was exceptional in doing just that in his remarks. The Committee on House Administration cohosts the summer lecture series and has had over 40 speakers on the calendar this summer. We were honored to have Mr. Kushner address this bipartisan and bicameral group of interns. He was able to speak for almost an hour and insisted on taking questions from the bipartisan audience. It was a great experience for the interns, and we were encouraged by his remarks and his willingness to participate in the series. It is unfortunate that someone who lacked personal integrity ruined the off-the-record setting of this lecture, which was solely for the interns' educational benefit."

While the section of the talk published previously by WIRED outlined Kushner's thoughts on the ongoing Israel–Palestine conflict, the presidential adviser and son-in-law touched on a number of other topics during the event, including how he got his start in business, his political evolution, and what he's learned during his time in the White House. Following are a few transcribed excerpts; you can listen to the full audio, which has been lightly edited to remove identifying details, above.
