GOD BLESS YOU İZMİR TÜRKİYE
Thank you for interviewing Tulsi! She is one of the most levelheaded people to ever have been in politics. Great conversation!!
Welp, lost just about all respect for Tulsi Gabbard, When is it right for a room of your home to be taken, to have assassination attempts made on you.. to be forced to loose members of your family.. then Tusli has the nerve to say.. Negotiate... Negotiations will be gtfo of my home or stay and fight til either of us are 10ft deep..
We need to transition back to where running for office is a public service not a career path
Read _Team of Rivals_ about the Lincoln cabinet or even _The Federalist Papers_ which led to the ratification of a US Constitution or the Supreme Court's _Marbury vs Madison_ decision. You will see that in America there has never been any such thing as public office driven by selfless civil service devoid of political career ambitions.
Not sure when this time that you speak of would be! Perhaps, only in books where people wrote about how they thought that things should be! Even George Washington was is guilty of it.
This guy Lex is a complete Liberal/lefty, being that he thinks that the POS Obama was the greatest uniter! Smh!
How about we transition forward to a time when running for office is not a career path. 2 rounds, and you're back to whatever garbage job you came from?
This was never the case.
To attract high-caliber individuals to political offices, we need to make public service competitive with private sector opportunities to draw in talented individuals. Pay them a competitive salary. Otherwise we'll keep getting Gaetz and AOC.
Along with that, all investments should be placed in blind trusts and ban all gifts to mitigate conflicts of interest, fostering a culture where decisions are made in the public's interest.
You will get corrupt liars or inept PolySci kids if you keep it cheap and rely on the goodwill of the participant.
We need to be surveilling the Politicians, the way they want to surveil us. WE are not the threat. THEY are.
This is exactly what should be done as they are our representatives and we need to know exactly what they are doing. It is a shame that the USA has so much potential for good and yet it is seems paralysed in doing it.
In fact we elect and hire them to represent us. So we need to make sure they’re actually representing us and not themselves or some company who wrote a large check or made huge promises
Exactly....
Police the police.
That's mainly beause they are all zionists or server zionists...
A 56 year old Brit here. Who's NEVER had enough confidence in those presented in front of me to vote for. But this lady and Vivek would get my vote in a heartbeat if they were here in the UK.
I doubt well ever get leaders like Vivek or Tulsi. Unfortunately sane good leaders the best of us never seem to be allowed in power.
You reduce the country's average IQ score.
If the Democrat party had ANY integrity, they'd give Tulsi a real chance, but they don't play fair and everyone knows it.
This lady is a snake.
The problem is most people, like the person above, are programmed to think there are only two ways to think. And either you think like them or you are objectively wrong. I see this where the vast majority in the US is either Democrat or Republican and very very few think for themselves.
Great conversation!! Thank you for your amazing work, Lex!! Please keep up with your great work!! Today's world needs people and programs like you!!
Vote Kennedy Jr.!
People don't understand the real economics, profits and profit makers of war. Much respect for Tulsi for relating her experiences.
Agreed, but it would be refreshing to hear a politician not have to lie about the numbers in order to make their point. For example, Halliburton is (and has been for decades) a publicly traded company. Their financials are open for all to see. At no time during the Iraq War did Halliburton ever earn anywhere near the "Trillions" of dollars quoted by Tulsi. In fact, the highest revenue year (2005) they only had a total revenue of $20B and net earnings of barely over 10% ($2.3B). A far cry from "making trillions of dollars". Was there a lot of overspending by the US Government? I'm sure there was. Were there Executives at Hal making millions? I'm sure they were. But exaggerating the numbers by a factor of 50+ makes you lose all credibility. Takes 10 minutes to look it up and get the facts straight.
@@jjuhring1 People that only talk about the cost of war never address that there are reasons that wars begin. Both sides are not always looking for profit. One side usually would like not to fight and defends their homes only. If the attackers break into that home Tusli thinks you should talk to them, negotiate. Perhaps they just want your money or to take your front yard. Negotiate. She sounds like a Bernie liberal.
Get real dude. What makes anything she says credible? Nothing. She is a nothing, always will be a nothing. You are easily swayed. Have the Morman missionaries stopped at your house? They have a bill of goods to sell you.
War is like cancer, a lot of money is made from it by big money players, they have no want to end either of them. In fact, I charge they ( large players) perpetuate both of these things to keep them going as long as possible, in ways only the most evil of minds would do.
@@nowthisnamestaken your level of ignorance is astonishing, whether one side isn't looking for profit doesn't mean profit is not involved, even if both sides aren't seeking profit, SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS PROFIT....do you think guns and bullets are free? You don't think there are weapons manufacturers making those weapons and selling them to either side and benefitting from the conflict or other big corporations that benefit from war one way or another? It's okay buddy keep living in the illusion....guess you enjoy watching thousands of people die to enrich a handful of elites
As a marine I love her war stance… no war is good
That’s just cognitive dissonance coming from a cog in the war machine
Unfortunately that mindset is needed. Not everyone in the world shares the same worldview as you, and as soon as those people have an upper hand, they're coming for you
Except when Isreal is doing it
@@DeTroutSpinnaz such a naive view of the world isolationists have. Just like communists
As a US Marine, it's also helpful in your wars against this and that to FIRST honestly examine what tf our nation has done and is doing to fuel the enemy's supposedly evil desires. "Remember the Maine", the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, and the Iraqi WMD narrative were based on hyped misinformation! We are directly responsible for many unnecessary and costly wars baaed on bs. STOP IT!!!
When I was growing up presidents were usually ex military. She sounds so refreshing to listen to .
yes so refreshing and hearfelt.. but my tears won't stop.. it is all so very sad now...
she is a hypocrite just like Bernie Sanders.
Then came good ole Clinton and Bush jr 😂😂😂
MOS 38A; Civil Affairs Officer
Used by three letter "spook" agencies to overthrow governments
She strongly supports Israel’s war in Gaza. Nothing original
Here is the person who should be US President. Makes fools of Biden and Trump.. Intelligent, measured.. In fact the world needs Tulsi Gabbard
lol. Wanna buy some moon rock. I have a lease on the moon and Im licensed to sell.
Vote Kennedy Jr.!
Thank you Lex for another of your thoughtful and intelligent interviews, where you allow your guest to speak at length and in depth! Great work, and vitally needed!
I've worked for KBR, DynCorp, Raytheon, Fluor, ITT and Vectrus in Bagram, Kandahar, Djibouti, Kirkuk, Al Asad...... She is 1000% on target with these contractors. They are shady as shit.
And you worked for them. What does that say about you?
Its not just military contractors, every government contractor enjoys ripping off the government.
war keeps them in business
That must make you the lord of shady lmao
I avoided a job with a rocket development company based on their contracts with military.
I really enjoy learning about tulsi and listening to her. The last 5 minutes were the best and most thought provoking for me.
Lex, another very useful and informational interview! She is a very smart and well studied lady that disserves to be in supporting roles through sensible processes! Nice job to both of you!
She is one of the few (very few) politicians who actually deserves to be in leadership. And the fact she was done so dirty is indicative of the rot our country suffers from.
How was she "done dirty"??
Such a great, superior, Lady.
Bro she said trump didn't try to serve the interests of the elites when all he did was cut taxes for rich people, she's such a hack
She's just a rotten person, absolutely ruthless and soulless. That's the kind of person who makes the perfect president. I hope she never becomes president.
She might really be able to turn things around. I hope I'll get to see her in the oval office some day
Lex, I appreciate the way you allow your guest to fully express their ideas and perspectives. This is sorely lacking in the MSM.
It's non existent in MSM because MSM is 100% propaganda, aka FAKE NEWS.
On purpose
The psychologist's note:
She has the energy of a careing mother who takes things very serious but has no concrete answers or solutions making herself looking very important in the public by carrying that energy but because she does not give concrete answers will not acomplish anything eventually. This is learned behaviour applied by politicians and leaders in many groups across the world... just fake people mimicking human behaviour
@@renelovemetal she has the "energy"? Are you sure that's psychology and not some whack mysticism bs? I'd take a caring mother who seeks out solution rather than a politician who promises solutions but only wants your vote and eventually never gets the job done.
Great interview! I love how you stay on point and how you let your guests answer the questions.
he just brownnoses the guest as much as possible, as per custom.
Eye opening interview. Thank you.
Lex really shined in this one. He communicated so gently yet confidently with Tulsi. They communicate well together.
What about fking ?
@@Ilusionistable grow up...
As usual, virtually no follow-up questions.
That's one of the reasons why I love his interviews so much. Iearn alot just listening to how he asks the hard questions.

Usual, people running for office or politics in general, give off a weird vibe. Tulsi just keeps it real and clear. Thats respectable and admirable.
Weird vibe? TG was raised in a secretive cult called the Science Identity Foundation.
The science identity foundation isnt that weird tbh@erikthompson8389
@@AQS521yeah. Cults never go weird…. Shill
How is it not weird that someone runs for the nomination for Democratic candidate and then 4 years later bets to be Trump's vice president?...
I noticed her behavior changed at a certain point. She got that certain "vibe" --- mannerisms and tone -- just like Bush Jr. and Obama got not long before they were (s)elected.
I always love, it when you use spoken language to express your thoughts or feelings, at the end of the podcast.
She is an amazing person. Thank you Lex for giving her the opportunity to share what I believe is the single biggest problem with this country (entrenched politicians clinging to power without regard for We The People). She is elegant and articulate and spot on. Amazing interview!
My best friend/ Brother was killed in 2003 over there. I hugged him in January 2003, he left, 5 months later I come home from work and my roommates and friends told me that they saw his name announced on the TV. I miss him every day of my life
man, I am sorry for your loss. the list from my time, is much too long as well.
Things that never happened
more ppl of color get killed by police than the GWOT KIAS
@@northsky5629does trolling bring you joy?
So sorry for your lost big hugs
Beautiful sharing of ideas, thank you both for such an u=interesting and honest discussion 🙏
My served with her as one of her officers. He talked about what a great leader she was and how much he enjoyed working for her. Wish she was running for President again.
your what now?
I think she would be great in 2028. Her time will come.
I love the fact that I don't know if Lex is more right or left leaning...I go back and forth not really knowing. All these conversations are amazing to listen to and I love the hearing from all sides, all points of views, various topics and then think about what it is that I think. Thanks Lex for all these great conversations!
Same ❤️
Left. Trust me on this one.
Lex is a Leftie but like an OG Leftie who sometimes uses modern language. It's kind of weird I know .
That's your problem. Your brain is binary. It's like seeing the world in only black and white. Theres so much more out there and the world is infinitely more complex. So are people just like Lex.
Thinking people consider each issue, rather than picking sides.
Breaks my heart that she wasn’t RFK’s choice for VP.
Because she's Trump's VP choice.
@@isaacortiz4617we hope and pray!
Instead, RFK picked Shannon, as extreme Left Progressive life long activist as he could find. That tells you everything about RFK'S true agenda.
Same
I know!!!
Best podcaster I've run across in a long time. And Gabbard's performance here is quite impressive. Thank you!
Not one hard question
I can't really argue that, but am wondering what hard question(s) would you have asked?
Enlightening. Thank you for doing this interview Lex.
Never served, but have friends that do. My heart breaks for them, to think about how much betrayal these warriors go through when they come back home. The land they fight for throws them to the side for sacrificing everything. We need to rediscover our humanity in this chaos of political division.
as a veteran, let me tell you, most veterans have it pretty good. The benefits are disproportionately high for most who serve. Of course ,those who experience the worst of it could never be justly compensated.
It is more tragic that they are thrown to wolves in foreign lands to serve the financial interests of the MIC, not to defend their homeland.

Lex, I watch many podcasts and a journalist myself. You are killin it and after today, officially my favorite to watch/listen whenever I can. This interview was off the charts, thank you for your service Tulsi, your interview solidified why you should be leading the country. Lex, just keep on keepin on.... Don't change a thing!
Tulsi is a r-wing proselytizer and Russian Stooge. You cool with that?
Thank her for her continued service.
This is what is wrong with Journalists, not a single hard question on her conspiracies and you idiot celebrate it.
Exactly that…
I agree. It was off the charts. I'm glad to see your progress in interviewing. It is really impressive. Next will be to keep learning how to moderate good debates. Fingers crossed !
Saying about Trump that "he is a a guy who by all measures has been successful in his own life"... about a guy that has repeatedly defrauded and lied, tells me where she stands.
People who have seen war dont think we should keep doing it for shallow reasons. Politicians in the main are too far away from reality and too keen to use it as the first option. Often because they financially gain from it and do not face the consequences or fight in it.
How does one declare war on terrorism? Terrorism is a tactic..not a country or even a movement.
It's optics, not an analytical meaning.
Makes for a great excuse for the powers that be to get more power
Bush Cheney war. Ended by Obama biden
Iran shows how terror cells get funded, become gorilla tactics militaries. It’s not some imaginary term for over generalized events like independent shooting persay.
Terrorism is ideology. So, you definitely can’t kill it. As long as there is hatred, there will always be a terrorism.
There’s no oversight. When your signature signs off on spending money that isn’t yours then why bother check the line item. Thank you Lex for allowing these conversations. 🍋 could learn how a discussion is conducted. Really enjoyed learning her history and her policies.
I appreciate her calmness and care for us Americans!
Lex is so adorable and wholesome. He asks such humane and thoughtful questions. I love his decency and compassionate heart. He’s just a good egg. I hope he takes care of his kind soul. 🙏
The only dumb question is the one you don’t ask. Thank you Tulsi💯 thank you Lex.
Good to see Tulsi on Lex's show
There was a time when citizens were free to move between Gaza and West Bank, It was kind of self selection. In 1972, general exit orders were issued allowing residents of those territories to move freely between the West Bank, Israel, and the Gaza Strip. Following the First Intifada by 1991, the general exit orders were revoked, and personal exit permits were required.
They used to call it “thinking outside of the box”. And it should be admired.
TG says, "The way to defeat bad speech is with better speech and more speech." I agree with this, but the algorithms are designed to push the bad speech front and center and make it more influential than it would be in the old public square.
That is why the congress has to repeal sec. 230. I wish I could sued utube for the shadow ban and censorship that they do to me...
So censor everything, right
TG REDUX :
_"Repeat a Lie loud enough and long enough and people will believe it is truth"_ J. Goebbels
In good faith, what do you think should be done then? These machine learning algorithms do an excellent job matching our preferences and interest. It's a positive feedback loop where the more we click and consume, the more similar content we be fed to us. With confirmation bias, people continue to seek out even more similar content.
What do you think is the best way we go about this? I agree. We should not be censoring everything. Do we enact legislation the does not let these tech companies use algorithms in such circumstances i.e., you can have recommendation algorithms for shows, shopping, etc, but not for places like Twitter?
This is a great observation
But an educated populace can combat this
That first 24 minutes about Tulsi's perspective on war is some of the best commentary on the subject I've ever heard.
Absolutely incredible lady TULSI very appreciated THANKS
1:49:41 such an intelligent conversation. Bravo to the both of you.
We keep hearing about the military industrial complex. How about having a leader from one of the big military contractors on to speak about their perspective. How they view the world and themselves in it, their experiences, and if they see the landscape of war changing for the better of humanity?
April 1st was yesterday. Good April`s Fool Joke!
Mic executives view of the world: 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
✡️💯
They don’t care about the betterment of humanity, they care about how they can get that third winter home in Aspen, these are the same type of people in ancient times that would sacrifice their own kids to Baal in hopes of getting a good harvest, they literally care about no one but themselves
Nice to see TH-cam deleted my comment
I seen the same things, Tulsi described in Iraq that I did too. The KBR, the dining facility with all the Bangladeshi workers and what not. I think Tulsi may have been at BIAP the same time I was, but there are so many soldiers there, that I would likely not have recognized her anyway.
The KBR Haliiburton industrial complex is the direct result or republican policies as were both wars prior to 911. Read Kinslers Crossing the Rubicon for the full on paper trail and realize just how deeply the inside job narrative goes when you follow the money. KBR in particular made billions from importing heroine, which was ultimately what Afghanistan and Iraq were mostly about. I have no love for the dysfunction of the democratic party, but compared to the pure evil that is the republican cadre, well it leaves little choice to those that have actually done their homework and who are truly anti war.
I'm
Lex, this was a really good listen. Thank you for bringing her on your show. I was a fan of Tulsi, now I’m more of one.
We need to have a way for people to monitor, audit, and vote on lobbying for what is acceptable for the American people.
Thanks, you two. Such an important convo to have and I respect and value both opinions greatly.

When I was in the AF I was a part of a team of bomber mechanics who would be bused out to a secrete base to service returning bombers during a nuclear war as the main base would be gone. During an exercise, I over heard two lieutenants with side arms, part of security command, talking about how they where going to be stacking security guards on the runway like cord wood, now the mechanics, we'll keep them alive as long as we can letting them out at timed intervals to work on the returning bombers to minimize radiation poisoning until they are over come. The message was clear, refuse and it will be bullet to the head. One of them looked up at me and smirked. Nuclear war is all out and forever. How people today cannot understand this I don't understand.
Great interview!! Thank you!
That was a great interview. I love to hear Tusli's views on our political system and the situation we're all in. Thank you Lex, for your thoughtful questions and respectful style of communicating. All the very best to both of you.
With tremendous RESPECT, GRACE AND APPRICATION. What a beautiful star of a woman Tulsi is. I hope to marry a woman like Tulsi Gabbard.

Wonderful interview
Thank you Mr Lex for having Ms Tulsi on your show, I have to agree with every word Ms Tulsi spoke, I loved Ms Tulsi even before I seen this show but I never knew Ms Tulsi you served Our Country, I have a huge place in my heart for all Our Fallen heroes, all Our veterans, and all those who still serve today it is men and women like you Ms Tulsi who served that makes me proud to be an American it is your sacrifices that I can hold my head high and say without shame I'm an American. For me there is no greater feeling than that. My father served, he did 4 tours in Vietnam and growing up looking at his medals I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps, as a child 5-6 years old looking at my father's medals I was proud cause my Dad was a Marine and he served Our Country, but I honored my mother's wish she begged me not to join the military she wasn't afraid of me being killed in action nor was I, she was afraid I wouldn't come back home the same person I left, she was afraid I'd come home and pull a Rambo it was funny then but now I know exactly what she meant, I'm disgusted to see what Biden and his administration has done to Our Country and I feel Biden is making all the sacrifices Our Fallen heroes all Our veterans and all those who serve have been done in vain and I want nothing more to see Biden and all those behind him kicked the hell out of Our House! And I say that politely out of respect for Ms Tulsi❣️ Ms Tulsi I wanna thank you for serving Our country I loved you before I knew you served now knowing u served Our Country I wanna marry you🌹❣️🤭😅 Thank you and Our Fallen, Our Veterans and those who still serve I now know why all of you did what you did!? Cause this Country is worth fighting for, as I wrote this the tears kept falling that's how much I love what all Our veterans did for this great country Thank you❤
Imagine if we had a president like Tulsi with her composure, rational, grace and intellect
lmaooo
The fact that people went gaga for Hillary Clinton as our first (potential) female president yet Tulsi got no exposure lets you know how rigged, bought out, and rotten the media and political system is
No way she’s all over the map and flip flops like every year or two.
Be careful that’s all.
Couldnt be further off base. She embodies grifting.
She has no problem de-humanizing the people she her self confirms were victims of US colonialism, imperialism and war crimes OR of Israeli Genocide and Apartheid.
It seems here tiny black heart only bleeds for people she agrees with and for her self.
HARD PASS
I think RFK made a mistake not picking her as his running mate.
She turned him down, because she wants to be Trump’s pick. Too much money and power in MAGA to let that grift pass her by.
100 percent
She told him no
@sthubbins4038 them Saudis giving them that cash 💸
RFK is controlled opposition.
Great show. Amazing guest!
Thank you, Lex, for a great show with an AWESOME guest! Tulsi is the first person who has been in both a war of weapons and a war of political power who has the guts to share what she has seen and knows!
Lex is such a great interviewer, and seems to be such an all-around good person. This interview was every bit as enlightening as it was disheartening and terrifying. We need more people like Tulsi back in office. History will remember her kindly, unlike many of those who have experienced “power” within her lifetime.
Thank you for your honesty and great conversation. Both of you are a credit to the benefits of honor integrity and meaningful thought.
Thank you for standing up for Truth. You have succinctly described the candidates in November.
May God guide you! 🙏🏿
You are deep Lex, a friend of peace in spirit
Next level interview, much appreciated!
Mahalo for this conversation!
Enlightening as to why things were so expensive. I was drafted into the Army (also a medic) at the close of Vietnam, starting pay $67/month and was always puzzled how Iraq could have been so expensive, even with large pay increases as the Army became all-volunteer, and even with the cost of equipment. It just never added up to me whenever the cost was stated to be in the trillion$. My family members who served in Iraq did have very highly negative views of KBR. I was surprised that when they came back, they frequently would say something like “it’s all about the money.”
Probably one of the most Sane voices in the United States
Lex is killing it. Great guests
I have OFTEN said the SAME: even if and though I may disagree vehemently w/a number of them!
His guests are awful and the only pushback they get is if they were woke, because we don't have enough people criticizing wokeness.
He’s been bringing on Alt Right for clicks. I’m unsubscribing, TUCKER AND DANA WHITE! And now this traitor! Back the blue!

This alone informs us why she should not be a representative for any American... how could we trust the English to advise us on governance... how is that working for them? We are so easily fooled by talk and a willingness to ignore past conduct. She has not changed her Democratic spots.
@@youaregodspursuithuh?
She is a Bernie-supporter. Is she MAGA enough for Trump? I dont think so. Vivek would be better VP for Trump.
That closing statement was beautiful. Thank You Tulsi, thank you Lex 🙏
Great interview, Lex!
I MIGHT be stoned, BUT I watch a lot of Lex’s interviews.. and for some reason this one feels more important than any of the others .. this one right here.. has impacted me ..
lol.
…and whoa have my hands always looked that weird! But no, I’ll definitely give this one a listen soon 😃
You might become paranoid and a conspiracy theorist.
Could be just a good batch of potent chronic
I am stone cold sober and felt the same, don't worry.
Lex’s Podcast it’s been on fire lately! What a pleasure is to see and hear Tulsi Gabbard! The way she speaks, how she exposes her ideas and positions! I mean, she’s amazing! Kudos to Lex for bringing her in!
A very interesting conversation!
In this instant, Lex your guest has not once acknowledged that perhaps the military forces and the government who has sent her have used tactics of divisiveness, splitting communities; playing one set of people against an other and creating differences and fomenting hatred.
The USA has so much potential for doing amazing things and yet the administrations seem to have succumbed to greed and control in any way necessary.
I don't think anyone who genuinely believes that one day they would have to answer to their Creator would promote sleaze, cronyism and use war to make money for the companies donating funds to them.
This "bitchute" is _PERFECT_ as the "voice of (fill in the blank)"
She's a *Trained Propagandist* whose army job was espionage
Lex, you are killing it dude!!!
sure. he's killing "impartiality" alright
He has snagged OUTSTANDING Guests … HOW does he DO it??
@@SuperLuminalElf She IS an outstanding Russian stooge, I admit. Lex is ethnically Russian. I can only say -- wow.
@@SuperLuminalElf be being a safe space for them.
The psychologist's note:
She has the energy of a careing mother who takes things very serious but has no concrete answers or solutions making herself looking very important in the public by carrying that energy but because she does not give concrete answers will not acomplish anything eventually. This is learned behaviour applied by politicians and leaders in many groups across the world... just fake people mimicking human behaviour
Damn good interview! Thank you both!
I gotta say, Ms. Tulsi Gabard, I don't know you. However, to me, you're a superstar. Thank the universe for people with the courage and discernment of your character.
Tulsi is a remarkable woman, who utters words of wisdom and the human cost of war among many of the issues which aré usually ignored or mishandled by the mediocre politicians in Washington. She is a outstanding female role model . We are blessed to have her among us.
Maybe the best interview Lex. Thank you both.
Peace should always be the best option. But it should never be the only option.
Actually it should be the ONLY option. WAR IS INSANE! People on both sides lose and the corporations on both sides WIN.... EVERY TIME. The People NEVER ask for war. They always have to be manipulated and conscripted into it. Just look at Ukraine's conscription policy and how everyone who could afford to immediately fled.
Spoken like a true neocon !
America, UK and other Z0Gs in Europe should EFF OFF out of foreign lands creating unnecessary bloodshed&thus creating orphaned children and needless enemies worldwide!!!!!
And moreover America should stop sending their sons and daughters out to fight bankers wars&sacrificing themselves as fodder!!!
After the realisation of the invasion of Iraq post 9.11 being a complete product of manipulation, u should have WOKEN UP! And wised up by now. Ppl who want u to fight for the wars they create aren’t worth it! Eg. Vogue posing Zelensky forcing his men to fight who didn’t want to
Being anti-war, as the world is already at war and our Eastern opponents up munitions production, is stupidity, sorry.
No, but it should be the first thing to pursue, or more accurately - a diplomatic solution. What shouldn't be pursued and instigated are proxy wars which is unfortunately something that has been a major part of American foreign policy for decades.
For people who miss the 10- second forward and back button, TH-cam has replaced it with a double tap on the screen. It is good to have that 10-second back and forward option again.
I see a new, very helpful feature on TH-cam. The subject being spoken about has been identified with the exact location where it can be found in the video! I found it with a single tap low on the screen.
I’d love to see Tulsi in a cabinet position for the next administration where she can have authority to audit the military-industrial complex.
That's not that simple, not even the president of the US or the Congress have "real authority" to audit that complex.
@@rpgadventurer32 Sure they do. The President is the Commander-in-Chief and congress controls the purse strings. Anytime the auditor meets resistance, they have the president fire the person who told them no, or in the case of systemic feet dragging, have congress slash that department’s budget for the next year. Do this department by department.
It’s not a matter of authority, it’s a matter of political will.
Go Tulsi! Love your energy, and the fact that you always speak your truth from a place of integrity. U are a great rolemodel ❤❤❤
She literally flips flops on the party she’s apart of - including switching back and forth on her beliefs , from total opposite ends of the spectrum - based on her political goals. She’s been conservative, then Bernie left, and now sort of maga conservative. She has no integrity and will change who she is for her cheap political goals
Got Dang Lex you are getting the best guests on!!!
Great piece of work.👍
I was here, and approve of this message.
Beautifully done, as always Lex.. Thank you both for a great, insightful and heart warming discussion.
My father worked for Haliburton.. ended up shooting himself in chest with a shotgun
Sorry for your loss 💔
Halliburton needs to be stopped. WTF. Hugs to you for your loss.
Whoa
Well, uhh ok. Thanks for service I guess. 🫤
I hate it when that happens
This is the leader that your people need.
Maybe. I really want to believe in her, but she has a history of flip flopping on her positions and has been fairly anti-2A. She would most certainly be a better option than the current POTUS.
.
*_NO FU*KKIN' WAY_
This "Bitchute" is trained for espionage
Love you Lex! 🤗💕
My favorite part of getting to know Tulsi better was hearing her speak about her spiritual life.
I agree! Thanks for saying it!!
She's a hypocrite!
Gabbard is Hindu. She & her boyfriend married in 2015 via a traditional Vedic ceremony. She's the first Hindu in congress
Jesus said "I am the way the TRUTH and the life." It absolutely does matter what name you worship Him by. No man goes to the Father but through Christ. I like her politics but I pray she'll come to truly understand the one true God.
@@JustMeAloha .
uhmm . . . . big fu*kkin' deal
Fantastic stuff as usual from Tulsi. The first 10 minutes clearly illustrate how evil the military industrial complex is and always have been.
oh, sure. Knock down the ONLY industry that has kept our Country safe from Foreign Invaders. Gabbard is a Russian Stooge, she wants to get us to disarm, so her Boss Vlad Putin can just walk right in and plant the Russian flag in D.C.
She loves the Military Industrial Complex, as long as Trump (or Putin) wields it. Just look at how furious she got at Biden ending the Afghanistan War.
Yeah, Tulsi was National Guard.
Yeah, Tulsi has never seen conflict let alone actual combat.
@@1SurtYeah, she made that clear. Who cares? Her service still gives her a different perspective and we appreciate hearing that perspective
@@1SurtI still value her perspective though. Doesn’t matter to me what she hasn’t been in actual “combat”.
Thanks MS. Tulsi Gabbbard, for putting your heart and your brain on your concerning for the future of America.🇺🇸🇺🇸
One of the best podcasts on TH-cam. Go Lex!
