[Music] Tulsi gabard welcome to the show thank you we have been uh trying to make this work for a long time several several months and uh I’m just I’m very thankful it’s finally happened and welcome to Tennessee thank you this your first time here I’ve been here a bunch it’s always it’s always very quick passing through um always good short visits but this is one of those as well right on right on well um I’m just super happy to have you here and uh you got a new book out and um we that’s why it took so long to come here by the way it I I like there was a a period well first of all the book took me longer to write than I anticipated uh it’s the first time I’ve written a book and second of all during that period while I was writing I um I like I just stopped doing any podcast because as you know you know you give up a little bit of time little bit of time there and and it just for me it took time to be able to just hone in and uh I wasn’t able to stop everything in my life but I put off doing podcasts for that whole period of time so I don’t blame you I appreciate your patience I don’t blame you I’m sure everybody is uh trying to get you on how long did that take you to write if you don’t mind me asking uh let’s see I I um so I announced that I left the democ I was leaving the Democratic party in October of 2022 and I got a call from uh a publisher who saw my announcement uh I made a little video um announcing the the main reasons why I was leaving the Democratic party publisher called and said that announcement read like a book outline and we’d love for you to write a book if you if you’re interested um so fast forward to book release date was April 30th 2024 uh so you know I I was originally supposed to push the book out I think the original published date was summer of 23 took me long it took me a lot longer yeah it it all I mean honestly it all worked out I think for the best because the book came out at kind of a fortuitous time given what’s going on in the country and and with this election yeah well I’m glad you wrote it is it doing well uh yeah we made we made the New York Times bestseller list which I was surprised by congratulations that’s I I’ve heard so many stories about how that’s very much an editorial decision on the New York Times part uh so I’m I’m glad that it broke through and um you know i’ it’s been encouraging how many people I hear from still it’s been a few months since the book came out um who either tell me that that their own experience is reflected in my book about why they left the Democratic party uh I met a young woman recently she’s in her mid late 20s talk talking about how her whole family’s uh they’re all Democrats and she’s just like the Democratic party doesn’t make sense to me and so she appreciated the book because it helped her articulate to her family just the insanity that’s going on and and hoping that that causes them to have a different look at maybe the party that they’ve always known which which just doesn’t exist today so I’m just encouraged that that it’s giving people Food For Thought uh as as there are a lot of politically homeless Americans who love our country but who are kind of disgusted by our politics today yeah to to understand our role and and that’s really at the end of the book there’s a call to action there where we can talk all day and all night about the problems with our politics in America today but what good is that unless we actually do something about it yeah it’s I mean that’s interesting that you say that because I I want to do a story I don’t know if we have time for that uh so I’ll leave it up to you if you want to do that but I I mean what I think that a major problem in this country I think it’s on both sides is that people don’t they want to point the fingers and they want to hold everybody else accountable and point point on everybody’s flaws and mistakes and Corruption and I love doing that too I love holding people accountable but I also hold myself accountable and we just just kind of went through this with my own audience we just I went to Vienna and interviewed uh Commander massud do you know who that is by Chance the leader of the Afghan resistance because this Administration sending $87 million a week over to the Taliban in organization that we both fought for over 20 years in in the US and um and everybody’s been outraged oh why would we do that you know this is Raging how could we be funding terrorism and so and this has been a string of interviews that I’ve done to bring light to this started with the withdraw then then first broke the the the money trail with a with a Army intelligence Afghan American then brought on a CIA targeter then went to the hores mouth massud himself and we had a petition uh I had a petition in the link that I wanted people to sign to get Congressman McCall to bring in massud in front of Congress so that he can talk about what how the policies that we’ve created with this Administration are affecting our our allies and how we’re funding terrorism and the things that we need to be watching out for with what the terrorists are are using the money for and how it’s going to affect us exactly and our kids more importantly our kids later on in life that interview at the time had 650,000 views it had pretty much double that on on on on audio and plus all the clips and the reels and everything and we counted it all up as about 5 six million views and we had 66,000 signatures fascinating all the outrage all the pointing fingers all all of that and 66,000 people out of 6 million signed the petition so then I did a little was upset you know and I I made a little I made a video I did a post and uh showing how upset I was but I I said that that’s important though I mean this is this is how we reach people yeah and and I just you know I said this is why nothing ever changes yes all anybody wants to do is point the finger at everybody else yes nobody wants to hold themselves accountable heaven forbid you get up off the couch or click your finger on a on a link stay on the couch to to to uh sign the petition and I did that and now we’re we’re over 200,000 signatures which is I think enough pressure to to get him in front of Congress despite State Department uh blacklisting him but I mean what are your thoughts on that people I mean uh I introduced legislation while I was in Congress called the stop arming terrorists Act and the fact that that would even have to be done at at all is is a whole conversation in and of itself but but this was specific to uh under President Obama how they were both directly and indirectly arming actual terrorists in Syria in that regime change war and and again not not thinking through I mean they they saw okay well these terrorists you know was Al-Qaeda al-nusra these various terrorist organizations there that that we as taxpayers were funding uh because President Obama wanted to topple the regime in Syria and obviously these guys are the most effective fighting force uh that they thought would be able to do that but when I and I served on the armed services and Foreign Affairs committees in Congress as this was going on and when I asked you know questions about well okay so this is your goal your goal is regime change who’s who’s going to fill the vacuum who is going to lead the country of Syria oh well you know there’s this political opposition group it’s like that’s [ __ ] yeah when you’re arming Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda linked terrorist islamist terrorist groups they are and will be the most powerful force on the ground and their goal you may not agree with it but their goal they’ll they’ll be happy to take your money or our money as taxpayers and the weapons that we provide and they will then fill that vacuum of leadership that is who would replace the regime and how does that serve our national security interests how does that serve uh uh you know how does that make us safer and so as you were as you were explaining this situation it is a very similar situation and whether the you know the the kind of lead time or or the you know consequences of this funding and who are we actually supporting and what are they doing with that money and what are their objectives you may have your own Pie in the Sky Fantastical uh ideas about what you’re doing which is often the case uh especially with my my former party uh but but it’s not it’s not Democrats alone there were Republicans who supported that under President Obama as there I’m sure there may be some now uh with this funding um you know they they they say oh well this is what we are trying to achieve but very often it is not at all rooted in reality and the world that that we live in and so um I just I I I was kind of like a blast from the past as you were talking about how we are yet again arming terrorists to our own detriment as a nation and I remember um first of all I sent out a blast to every member of Congress encouraging them to co-sponsor the stop arming terrorists act and uh it was my version of what you went through with the petition man very very few and I don’t remember the exact number I think we got I’d have to go back and look at the number but I think we got like Rand Paul in the Senate to introduce it in the Senate but very ve a very small handful of members of Congress actually signed on to this legislation wh why do you think that is why they tell themselves that um and this is me guessing because nobody ever gave me a good reason why not to uh what I imagine is they tell themselves well you know you know this dictator is a bad guy and we got to take him out and well if we got to work with these people or those people then that’ll help us to get there and then you know like they don’t actually think it through I I can’t even even if I were to you know kind of like red team it and put myself in their shoes I can’t come up with a rational logical argument about why they would refuse to sign legislation called the stop arming terrorist act either they are ignorant and choose to be ignorant or they believe that the ends justifies the means but the ends that they are looking at again that they’re they’re not rooted in reality when you look at the real consequences of their policies and their decisions uh it turns out time and time again to be an outcome that is counter to the best interest of our security uh and the interest of the American people I I actually there was a reporter uh just off the house floor you know all 435 members of Congress go and you vote and the the reporters you know they’ll huddle around the the few exits that are there and try to catch people on their way in or out and I remember this woman I forget what Outlet she was with one of the main one of the main ones and she was trying to justify that to me she was saying well congresswoman don’t you think that sometimes you have to work with people who you don’t like in order to accomplish your objective and I just remember looking at her I’m saying so so you are justifying us providing money and weapons to the very exact same terrorist group that attacked us on 911 you think there’s justification for that and she’s like oh well you know I mean I just you know some people might say blah you know I was like give me a break they’re cutting our heads off on National Television yeah this isn’t like come on let’s just work through some disagreements yeah like what yeah what planet are yeah and it’s not okay well these guys are you know the drug runners or you know they’re you know they’ve got like a running diamonds in the black market I mean you know this is not this these are not like hoodlums in the neighborhood that they’re talking about here they just burnt a family alive five minutes ago in a cage jeez you know this this isn’t a minor disagreement and working trying to work through differences no but do you I mean when it comes back to the I’m sorry the bill what was the bill the stop arming terrorists act great name yeah um I’m all about the direct approach man I mean do you think that they’re are they smart enough to even see an endgame with the when you when you brought up that excuse are they smart enough to even see the endgame I mean no is the answer um you know I wouldn’t doubt that there are are some nefarious intents by some people or Intentions by some people but I think that there any kind of clarity that a norm person would have in looking at this situation like any normal Common Sense person you don’t have to have served in the military to get this you don’t have to have some degree in foreign policy and geopolitics to understand how insane this is my my it seems like their judgment and and the normal Clarity that should be there is clouded by arrogance and um this this idea that well just because we say this is what the outcome will be that’s what it will be um there are so many different examples of uh and I actually asked I questioned uh then um secretary Mattis and this was a few years later obviously but I questioned because this was continuing on uh and I asked him in an open hearing uh in the armed services committee why why aren’t we going after al-Qaeda in Syria Al-Qaeda and Isis in Syria because the focus was on regime change not on defeating islamist terrorism at that time and his answer was it’s complicated well you might want to think about taking some of that cash and try to protect your purchasing power with precious metals like gold and silver it’s simple

can call it the Deep State permanent Washington the National Security State people in the state department the Department of Defense they they get so um I don’t know it’s it’s like they they get so lost in these complexities that they have created for themselves that somehow justify a position that is not good for our country it’s not complicated why we’re not going after al-Qaeda in Syria it’s not complicated yeah there’s a reason for it tell the American people what the reason is why are why are you not we have our military there why are you not prioritizing them going after and defeating this islamist terrorist group that attacked us on 911 and yes they’ve changed Al-Qaeda n Alam and all these different names that they’ve used same same groups of people same radical islamist ideology that’s fueling them uh in this same example they you know they they took over uh an entire city uh in Northern Syria and they did so with the promise and protection of the United States government um the name of the leader of that arm of islamist terrorist groups is still there he is still ruling that City I’ve talked with uh some of the the um Syrian Kurds uh last year they they are working in Washington DC obviously still fighting for the lives of of the Syrian Kurds who are under threat from Turkey every single day uh but who have been our most reliable fighting force against Isis I think we could not have defeated Isis without them yeah um and I asked them I was like what’s going on uh with with this with this city and they said nope it’s still under the control of alqaeda Al nusra and uh you could have to go back and I believe there is a clip where um you know I was obviously calling for even under the Trump Administration you go after this terrorist organization that is in control of this northern city in Syria and I think it was Nikki Haley who uh was calling for our US Air Force to protect them and go after anyone that tried to attack that City it was just you know the these things are to me unexplainable but I have no doubt that they will come up with some kind like Nikki Haley will come up with some kind of gibberish uh to support that position when when you look at it on its face and it just it doesn’t make sense man we’re going to we’re going to dive into this deeper let me give you a quick introduction before we get two in the weeds here now I’m I’m really excited for this interview but um tulsy gabard you’re a combat veteran with three deployments to war zones in the Middle East and Africa a four-term congresswoman and a 2020 presidential candidate you’re now lieutenant colonel in the US Army Reserve and still wear the uniform with more than two decades of selfless service at the age of 21 you were elected to the Hawaii state house and served as the youngest female legislator in our country you were elected to congress and served eight years as a member of the armed services Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs committees you are a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election and the rising star for the Democratic party before leaving the party you were elected vice chair of the Democratic National Committee you are the you are an author of The New York Times best seller for love of country leave the Democratic part leave the Democrat Party behind you are an independent-minded person who puts country before party and approaches every issue with the aim of ensuring the safety security and freedom of the American people am I missing anything I think you got I think you got the big stuff I’m sure I’m missing some stuff and um and then just a couple of things knock out so I have a patreon account they’re are top supporters they’ve been here since the beginning awesome I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them and would you be so uh one of the things that I um offer them is the opportunity to ask each guest a question and so this is from Norm Becker and I would love to chime in on this as well if uh you don’t mind historically you are for the reduction of military spending and overall downsizing what is your stance on that now with the current administration’s open border policy in relation to an attack inside the United States being we have a few hundred, undocumented military age men who will be responsible for the safety of Americans um there’s a few questions in there there’s a few things going on there um we should have the military that we need to ensure our safety security and freedom uh I disagree with those who say oh well know we should cut the military budget in half that’s an arbitrary statement why half why not 60% why not 20% uh there should be an audit which has not been done of the Department of Defense and an assessment of how are we spending our taxpayer dollars in the Department of Defense and and are those dollars being spent making us more safe M making our military as ready as they need to be to keep us safe to defend our safety security and freedom anybody who says that the Department of Defense is not bloated and spending far more than they should uh hasn’t been paying attention to what’s going on in the Department of Defense uh their priorities have been uh you know I I get the Congressional process and authorizations and budgets and everything else but the fact that the Department of Defense has so far failed every single audit uh tells us about how irresponsible they have been in managing our taxpayer dollars and spending uh I’ll give you the most current example that I saw as of yesterday uh headline that popped up Department of Defense is announcing they’re going to give economic hardship bonuses to troops what does that mean 20 bucks a month about $120 a year yes and so I I’ve read the headline I was like oh that’s interesting economic hardship bonuses because the economy has been tough especially for junior enlisted service members food stamps going to the food bank trying to support a family especially those who have young families okay sounds like a good idea 20 bucks a month turns out Congress authorized an economic hardship bonus last year and only now is is the Pentagon getting around to making these payments and have said well this is all that we can afford and it’ll go to service members of the ranks of E1 to E3 the White House adamantly opposes this until they complete their administration’s study on military pay and compensation boom there’s a budget cut exactly get rid of that entire program exactly and that’s my point is so so this is the same Department of Defense that says oops we misplaced $4 billion that we just found and now we can send that to Ukraine immediately and you’re telling me you you can afford roughly 120 bucks a year for our Junior enlisted service members because of economic hardship under the Biden Harris Administration the whole thing is the freaking joke but it’s a joke that has very real consequences on the men and women who are serving and on our military and therefore on our Safety and Security so you know yes I am advocating for cutting the waste and Fraud and Abuse that goes on in that big building in the Pentagon every single freaking day every single day closing the revolving door making it so that whether you’re a senior civilian or you are a senior uniformed person in the Pentagon you should not be writing contracts for Lockheed Martin or whoever you want to go and get a job from as soon as you retire out of out of uh the federal service there are so many changes and reforms that need to be made to make sure again our taxpayer dollars are going to serve a military that is best equipped and ready to ensure our safety security and freedom on the border huge issue uh we have no idea how many people you know the the the question cited a couple hundred thousand we don’t have any idea how many people have streamed through our borders illegally who pose that direct threat to us here on our own soil um I would encourage should president Trump get elected and I would encourage President Biden today hey if you’re really serious about securing our border which we know he’s not federalize and mobilize the National Guard help I was in the National Guard for a lot of years uh our job is to support the Homeland uh whether it’s during times of national disaster or or crisis or emergency I would say this is a very serious National crisis uh and the president has the authority to federalize the National Guard to deploy them to go and actually help secure our border I was in uh Southern California San Diego and spent a couple days down at the border there just to see for myself a lot of people talk about Texas and Arizona very few people are paying attention to what’s going on in um in San Diego and went down there uh what I saw was astounding to me uh because within a within a few minutes um We Came Upon these like little little camps almost of illegal immigrants uh more and more people walking up just as I was there um this idea of of the Goda ways you hear about the Goda ways on the news all the time well how many Goda ways are there these are people coming across the border knowing exactly where to go for uh border patrol to pick them up and they sit there peaceful calm cell phones candy snacks chilling waiting for border patrol to pick them up because they know that border patrol will come load them in the Vans they go to the processing center and they’ll walk out with that white piece paper says that they’ve claimed Asylum and they are no longer undocumented they are now documented and they get a plane ticket to go anywhere in the country where they want to go and I talked to a number of people there who’d come from all different countries none of them from Mexico by the way Mexico is the only country apparently where border patrol sends them immediately back across suppor you come from any other country uh they go through this this process that I just talked about talk to this one guy who came from Colombia and uh he said oh I flew into Tijana and then walked across took me I don’t know a couple hours and I asked him like have you been here before oh yeah I’ve been here before interesting he had no issue talking by the way he was very relaxed and I said oh where you headed so I’m going to Utah I said really what’s in like oh I got a woman there and uh there were different stories from different people I talked to from Brazil there were people from Venezuela people who were very clearly tat tatted up gang members from Venezuela one guy super super high on drugs all these people just waiting border patrol to pick them up and essentially be this like uh Uber drivers to take them from illegally crossing the border process them through I you know we followed the process through to the train station to the airport the the the whole thing and then I talked to a guy who’ lived there lived in that area for decades and he said God I really wish Texas would send their National Guard to help us out here I said what about California you got your own National Guard here and he just shook his head and he’s like Gavin Newsome will never send our National Guard to actually defend our borders the solutions are there uh it takes leadership uh uh that really cares about solving this problem with the sense of urgency that it requires uh to do so do do you think that they are why are they so for the open border is it really for the vote is it so that they can I mean we’ve seen the massive migration of people out of California Tennessee a lot of the a lot of the neighborhoods here are 60% California now 60% it’s finding a original Tennessean is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack anymore they all got pushed out you know and and and I mean I hate to say it but every state I visit complains about the same people and it’s always California Montana Utah Texas Florida Tennessee Nevada Arizona every I’m like how many of these [ __ ] people are there a lot like who’s left what is there about I don’t know like 40 million people live in California wow like every everywhere is complaining about them and and so is is the left is it look I don’t believe anything I hear anymore yeah on the news on most podcasts I have a very select group of people that have a level head with more insight than I do that I call to to to give me a sanity check but um is it is this why they want the Border wide open and they’re not addressing it are they are they they don’t want California and New York and Illinois and all these states where everybody’s migrating out of they don’t want to is it that they don’t want to lose the electoral vote uh that’s certainly a big role for sure and and it m like it it just it it uh they’ll they’ll never admit it of course maybe some of them would but I’ve never heard anyone admit that but when you start adding like 1 plus one plus one plus one you have open borders you have uh you know this massive opposition to requiring voter ID and most recently um massive opposition from the Democrats to the legislation the Republicans just passed requiring proof of citizenship to vote massive like vocal passionate opposition coming from Democrats in the house we’ll see if the Senate takes it up uh uh apparently they just they they just want there to be an honor System and then you actually have some cities and counties um already opening up voting for those positions to people who are not citizens who are illegal immigrants uh there there were um there was a a congresswoman out of New York uh named deette Clark who was was she wasn’t caught on camera she was doing an interview and she was just like hey bring them over here I need more people in my district we got space because we need to keep my district referring to the redistricting uh and so um I think that’s certainly a huge part of it there are those who believe truly in open borders from a philosophical standpoint they believe that the United States of America I’m talking about the aoc’s of the world and there are others like her they believe that um we in the United States should welcome anyone from anywhere who is Seeking a better life in America and therefore they don’t believe in borders you go back to and there there are actually even though they may not say well I believe that there should be no borders in the world and kind of one world philosophy uh I go back to the again the 2020 Democratic primary where the vast majority of Democrats who are running for president in 2020 believed that uh crossing the border should result in a civil fine that would equate getting a parking ticket that’s an open border yeah that’s an open border um and then the the last thought on this is that um they have you know ever since Trump ran for president in 2016 painted him and anyone else who called for securing our borders and an end to Illegal immigration um xenophobes and racists uh and PE you know you hate brown people if you if you are against illegal immigration so it makes it hard for them now to say okay well this is this is way over the top we have to secure our borders we have to stop illegal immigration well okay so are you now racist also do you also hate Brown people now because uh that that is that’s the the situation that they’ve that they’ve created and then even most recently you saw with with JD Vance’s wife speaking you know on the stage at the the Republican convention and the headlines that came out of that is she’s talking about her immigrant parents who came from India she grew up in San Diego and all of this and how grateful she is for the life that they were able to provide and so on the headlines were uh essentially gosh isn’t she such a hypocrite where she’s speaking at a convention where they are calling for the deportation of illegal immigrants as she is telling the story of her immigrant family which again just begs the question like do they just not understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration the rule of law and I I refuse to believe that they are that that stupid so it it really points to that bigger question like okay well why why is it that they’re creating this narrative that anybody who supports secure borders is a racist who hates brown people has has there ever been a discussion of let’s just fix the actual immigration policy instead of just opening the borders why why is I mean it just seems to me there’s no common sense within government anymore and and so I mean there’s a lot of good people coming in here yeah and there’s a lot of bad people coming in here and and I think we could always use more good people in this country and so why hasn’t that discussion maybe it has been had but why to my knowledge it’s never been had there there have been different serious efforts at fixing our because our our legal immigration system is very very broken MH um I have a friend who um I don’t know how long he’s been in the Army he’s a he’s a green ber foreign officer I think 32 33 years of service he is retiring his wife’s family or her sister lives in um Italy I believe married kids kids in school they have a home jobs Etc an established life they applied for tourist visas to come and attend his retirement ceremony and were denied they wanted to come for 2 weeks to the United States to attend this significant life event of their loved one and they were denied oh well you know you don’t have proof of like you know whatever I don’t even know what the reason was uh but but there are so many different examples of how broken our legal immigration system is there have been a few serious efforts over the years toward actually solving it um ultimately they have I think I think the the hyper partisanship often has been what tanked it where in order to pass legislation like that you’re going to have to have a give and take from both parties who have very different views on what that solution should look like so by its nature you’re going to end up with probably like a 70% solution and uh ultimately you know there there was famously and I forget what year it was I think it was in the late 2000s there was the gang of eight Senators for republicans and for for Democrats they came very close to passing reforms uh but ultimately it failed um some will point to a recent effort that was that was underway under the Senate uh to secure our border uh I it was bipartisan uh the mainstream media and Democrats blame Donald Trump for that legislation failing but that to me was was uh I looked at it there was no way that I could have supported that if I was in Congress then because the the Bill’s intent was to secure our border that’s what they sold it as um the problem was is it institutionalized illegal immigration it basically said well we will there were a lot of reasons wrong with it but but the Crux of it was up to 5,000 illegal immigrants a day will be okay will be acceptable anything beyond that then going to shut down the borders and in my mind like okay well let’s let’s go and look at the cartels who are the ones who are profiting off of our open borders all that says to me is they’ll look at all of their customers and say okay well we got 5,000 through today you got to wait till tomorrow it institutionalizes it in our laws to say well we will accept illegal immigration up until this point that that is not a solution so that they were just talking about taking just just any 5,000 people yeah just bring illegally crossing our border yeah just not not 5,000 people coming to our border and showing papers or applying for a work visa or any of these other things it was up to 5,000 people illegally crossing our border uh what ended up happening was President Biden passed an exe or signed an executive order that that essentially did that same thing which he is now touting as and there has been a reduction of uh of people coming illegally coming across our border since he did that like two months ago uh after 3 years of saying our border is secure uh obviously an election year Ploy but but once again it it doesn’t actually solve the problem just like the legislation didn’t solve the problem wow man just uh I’m frustrated I’m really frustrated with what’s going on and and most people and this is you know I I what I am here’s why I’m I’m hopeful and what why I’m doing all that I can to to get out and talk to people uh share my own experiences with people answer their questions and concerns wherever I can uh on any platform I can um is because I know that there are so many people who feel as you and I do incredibly frustrated um and not really seeing a way out given how much gridlock there is in Washington and how too many politicians are putting their own self-serving interests ahead of the interests of the country um this is why we don’t have anywhere close to 80 90 100% voter turnout because people feel hopeless and don’t feel like my vote and my voice will make a difference the powers that exist um in this broken system are are too great uh but the that that’s wrong it’s not true I do understand that feeling of hopelessness but the only way we change this is at at a bare minimum being in informed voters and holding leaders accountable and not turning a blind eye when it’s the party that we like not being blind followers being critical thinkers not believing everything that you hear and and what people say uh but actually being informed being critical thinkers and and voting that is how in the system we we can bring about wholesale change by putting the right people in office who are committed to the Constitution and to our country and who have a backbone and the courage to root out the Deep rot of corruption that exists within every agency of our federal government yeah yeah how other than voting how do you hold politicians accountable uh I mean what what the the thing that you did with the petition I think that’s a great idea because it forces their hand in a very public way uh to to try to do the right thing I’ve seen in real time I experienced in real time uh you know people wonder like if I call my congressman do they really care if I send an email if I put out a tweet like you know you feel like you’re yelling into the darkness and no one is hearing you uh and maybe if you’re just one person doing it that may be true but if we all kind of throw in the towel then uh then then we’re giving up without a fight I’ve experienced in real time there was a a bill that was uh coming to the house floor for a vote and it had strong bipartisan support I remember looking at the readout that I got and the the assessment that I did before every single vote that came through I had my staff put together okay here’s why the Democrats are saying to vote for or against this bill and here’s why here’s why the Republicans are saying to vote for or against this bill then I could look at you know often times very different narratives all talking about the same piece of legislation but in this case the recommendation ations were hey we need to vote for this legislation because it’s going to do X Y or Z and it’s a good thing and it had overwhelming support close to 400 uh um it was expected to pass with over 400 votes of support uh in like the the four to six hours prior to that vote taking place there was a flood it be started trending on Twitter still Twitter back then and phone calls you know phones were bringing off the hook uh people were tweeting about why this legislation was not a good idea and here were the potential unintended negative consequences that would come from this legislation and it was dead it tanked overwhelming bipartisan opposition to the bill and that was within the span of of one day and so you know it doesn’t always work out that way but but we are we have many many more numbers than them and ultimately most members of Congress uh what they fear most is losing their job and that’s where we have to recognize the power of of our voice so yes through voting but it’s also actually using using our voice to to hold them accountable yeah you know um I just had Eric princeon here yesterday and I was asking him you know I was like well [ __ ] now I got 200 and something thousand signatures so people are counting on me to do something I was like what do I do if this if Mall doesn’t what if he just doesn’t respond yeah he’s like oh that’s easy you just tell him you’re going to do a fundraiser for his opponent the next election and he’ll fall into line and I was like that’s actually pretty uh yeah it makes makes sense I know that and you just look at okay you’ve got those 200,000 people yeah they all chip in 10 bucks yeah 15 bucks uh this is how members of Congress have lost their jobs because so many of them uh however and wherever they started I’ve I’ve again I’ve seen this firsthand how so many of them kind of go away from maybe the Grassroots that they came from man and their the vast majority of their campaign War chests now come from lobbyists corporate lobbyists and that’s who they spend their breakfast lunches and dinners with and who they spend their you know sometimes their vacations with and and that’s where their that’s where their attention is focused com you know really forgetting um oh well you know it’s the voters and the people who are the ones who actually hired me here and uh it’s it’s a it’s a it is the power that we have but but it’s only powerful if we use it yeah you know I I see a lot of that and the mean I don’t really pay attention I pay attention to the Democratic party but not individuals as much as I do I’m very critical of my own party and and uh is the shows growing I’ve gotten to know a lot more congressmen Senators the political types and even the even the veterans man that are like going in to the Republican party I mean it’s it’s almost like man you’ve been in there for 6 months and you’re already sucked into the the stat lishment yeah what how does it [Laughter] happen um well I can tell you how it didn’t happen to me please please share um well first of all uh you know when you have people who go in some of them may think well if I just play the game then I’ll get to a place where I can actually make a difference and that just continues and continues and continues on until you know they become someone who is unrecognizable and their priorities shift um people it is very easy for people to get sucked into the swamp in Washington and if people and maybe this is not what they were looking for for when they ran for office but uh immediately you are treated like you are something special red carpets are rolled out special access VIP treatment fancy parties people kissing your ass every freaking day and if you are not firmly rooted in your purpose that higher purpose of service uh to our country and to your constituents to the American people I have seen how quickly people fall for um that hype and it’s it’s just it’s crazy because it’s all it’s all fake yeah people only treat you special because they want something M and the moment you leave the moment you leave you don’t exist they don’t care about you and and this is you know I I um I I I’m just I’m grateful that that I I knew why I was running for congress I mean in a nutshell it was those experiences that I had during my deployments and my eyes were opened in a way that I couldn’t I couldn’t pretend you know um that those lessons that I had learned experiencing the cost of War seeing seeing the the War profiteering uh up close and personal I left those deployments knowing that I I wanted to be in a position to do something about it cuz I was frustrated and pissed off by the politicians who would come in and drop in and you know this they drop in for a day shake some hands take some pictures and take off and go back to Washington uh talking about like oh I know exactly what’s going on in the war I’ve been to war 20 times like bro no you you you don’t you don’t actually know you should you should go and do the research you should go and actually instead of just taking a photo up why don’t you go and sit down with the guys not not just the Stars yep you can listen to them too but go and actually sit down with the guys in like you know at cow yeah and ask them what’s really going on actually listen to what’s really going on don’t think that you already know I I just I came out of that knowing I wanted to be in a position uh to make those decisions about our country’s uh foreign policy about War and Peace and well-being of our our brothers and sisters in uniform both while they’re in uniform and after they lay it down I didn’t know I didn’t know exactly where I wanted to be like what you know where in the government or what position I looked at a lot of different things but ultimately that’s what drove me to run for Congress and uh I I still carry that sense of responsibility and that sense of purpose with me today it was never about I I had zero interest in chasing a political title or a specific office or a job it’s about where and how can I make the most uh the most positive impact uh in service to our country and so when I was when I was elected to congress I I was frankly shocked by by all of this stuff being thrown at me um you know was the Democratic party and they’re like I wasn’t even I wasn’t even sworn into office yet I went to the Democratic Convention Nancy py invited me to speak during Prime Time about veterans said yeah of course I’ll take that opportunity and I went there and there was like people on CNN saying oh look at her she’s a rising star of the democratic party I wonder what famous actor is going to play her in a movie and like all this stuff and it was so surreal for me because um I I I just you know I had no idea what to expect I certainly wasn’t looking for any of this and and quite frankly it made me uncomfortable I had been sworn in for maybe a two three weeks when I got the call saying do you want to be Vice chair of the DNC like what is a vice chair of the DNC like what is the vice chair of the D it sounds important it does it’s it’s you know I mean there I think there were four or five in the in the in the DNC maybe a couple of more I’m sure the Republic party maybe I don’t know actually if they have the same thing but you know in theory you are an officer of the Democratic National party and you have a leadership role in in shaping the direction of of of that party so I said yeah I I will go and you know do my best to make a positive impact there uh Vogue Vogue magazine called my office one day and said we want to do a special profile on Tulsi gabard and my press secretary came in and told me I I laughed literally like you gotta be joking like I’ve been like buying my clothes from uh you know uh what is it called Rosses like you know like Vogue wants to talk about me I was like you know first of all like this is a joke if it’s not a joke I’m not I’m not wearing bathing because they wanted to do it in Hawaii as like I’m not wearing a bathing suit on the beach in a photo shoot I’m not interested in any of that anyway this stuff kept on happening and and I I was grounded enough to to recognize like I didn’t come here looking for any of this like this is just weird um the the first reception that I went to who hadn’t been sorn in yet they they bring all the new members of Congress and a few weeks before you’re sorn into office they call it freshman orientation and you get your phone and you get a laptop and you get your ID card and you know you go through a lot of Ethics briefings and and policy briefings yes they must be lcking on that nowaday it exists I promise but I remember going to this reception that um uh one of the leaders of the democratic caucus was hosting and I didn’t know until I got there that it was a reception where like every lobbyist in town was invited to meet the new members of the democratic caucus and there were 50 in my group of just Democrats and uh so I got there and I was looking around and went to go stand in line to get like a soda or whatever from the bar and this guy who was in front of me there’s like 20 or 30 people in line and this guy’s in front of me he’s like hey how are you what’s your name I introduced myself and he saw my name tag and it said congresswoman elect and he’s like what are you doing in line it’s like same thing you are I’m waiting in line to get a drink he’s like okay let me tell you how this place works you are now a member of Congress and you will never stand in line in this town ever again as long as you’re in office I remember that to this day because it it really took me a back um and of course I stood in line I’m not gonna oh well thank you very much let me just go cut to the head of the line here a few days later I was running late for a meeting and uh went into the capital um just on the street level asked the capitol police officer there I was like hey this is where I’m trying to go it’s in the the basement can you point me in the right direction please cuz I don’t know exactly where it is and there’s a woman she said yeah sure I’m going that way anyway I’ll walk you down so I started talking to her as we were walking and and I told her I was like this has got to be kind of chaotic for you guys cuz you’re Manning the doors you’ve got a whole bunch of us who are new here and trying to find our way around and she’s like oh no no uh we we we like you guys um because you’re still nice to us and I said what do you mean I asked I like what what are you talking about she said mark my words in about 6 months maybe only half of you will still be nice to us never forgot that conversation few years later you know I where my uh where my office was you end up seeing you you have the same Capitol Police guys who are stationed at at that specific post and so I often would stop by talk to him like okay how’s it going whatever I got to know him so one night after votes I was standing there inside the door and somehow I forget I forget what the conversation was but we we I went back to this and I shared this story with them and they they looked at the door they saw a member of Congress heading towards that door and they were just like stand behind the corner where you can’t be seen watch this member of Congress walked in they said hello sir how are you totally ignored guy just walked right by like they didn’t even exist and they looked at me and they’re like see it people who it’s infuriating time is our most precious commodity and I’ve heard from so many of my listeners who have asked for my advice about how they

business no matter what stage you’re in that’s shopify.com Shan I know everybody out there has to be just as frustrated as I am when it comes to the BS and the rhetoric that the mainstream media continuously tries to for feed us and I also know how frustrating it can be to try to find some type of a reliable news source it’s getting really hard to find the truth and what’s going on in the country and in the world and so one thing we’ve done here at sha Ryan Show is we are developing our newsletter and the first contributor to the newsletter that we have is a woman former CIA targeter some of you may know her as Sarah Adams call sign super bad she’s made two different appear es here on the Sha Ryan Show and some of the stuff that she has uncovered and broke on this show is just absolutely mindblowing and so I’ve asked her if she would contribute to the newsletter and give us a weekly intelligence brief so it’s going to be all things terrorists how terrorists are coming up through the southern border how they’re entering the country how they’re traveling what these different terrorist organizations throughout the world are up to and here’s the best part the newsletter is actually free we’re not going to spam you it’s about one newsletter a week maybe two if we release two shows the only other thing that’s going to be in there besides the Intel brief is if we have a new product or something like that but like I said it’s a free CIA intelligence brief sign up links in the description or in the comments we’ll see you in the newsletter it is it is and and and I’m going back to your original question of like what happens to people when they they start believing that well ultimately they forget why they are supposed to be there that’s really cuts to the heart of it and whether they care about pleasing Party leaders or they care about being invited to fancy Embassy parties or they care about you know pleasing their special interest corporate lobbyist donors whatever the thing is whatever the glittery object is that captures them what’s wrong is they forget their purpose for being there and that purpose being to serve the people in our country and support and defend the Constitution man that’s infuriating and I think that’s that’s where it’s important to remember in so many ways that you know the people that that you see on TV politicians people are elected into office it’s no different than you and me yeah none at all and and you know so so with that there we should set our expectations as such and hold each other accountable as such well I don’t think there’s any holding each other accountable inside Congress I mean just what I saw in my very limited snapshot exposure I’m there every I don’t know every couple months for whatever reason but uh I’ve been to a couple of the parties and what what I noticed the arrogance yeah immediately and some people know who I am because of the because of the heights that this podcast has has been to and then others I’ll get introduced and it’s say this is ONN former Navy SEAL they could give it two shits former CIA contractor don’t care ranked as high as number two on the podcast charts in the world now all of a sudden they want to be my friend and I’m just like [ __ ] you yeah and and you know what it seems to me that you always hear how it’s the biggest the big most elite Social Club on the planet or whatever and I think that I think that plays a big role into it and what I’ve noticed is none of these people go back to their districts they’re supposed to be in their districts talking to their people figuring out what their people that elected them want and then go back to DC and vote right well I don’t think anybody goes not very many I shouldn’t say anybody but I don’t think there’s very many people that go back to their districts to be with their people to figure out what they want they all stay in DC for the parties nobody wants to hold each other accountable because it’s the social club yeah and they don’t want to get ostracized off the island and so I mean am I right here yeah you are it’s sad you are I mean how do you even begin to fix that exactly what we’re talking about already it is it is um the system that that’s in place right now and how many Americans have become I don’t want to say apathetic because I don’t believe that people don’t care I think people do care and you know even if it’s about people will say well I don’t do politics I don’t like I don’t pay attention to politics but ultimately you know you care about your family you care about the place that you live High Cost of Living High interest rates um you know crime I mean there there are basic things in our everyday lives you know is the trash getting picked up that that people do care about well those things that and and people that we care about like that that is directly connected to um those who hold public office County state federal level across the board um we we have to turn that care into into action I mean that that’s really that’s really what it comes down to and um it can it can be done and it has been done where people who are very rich and very powerful um have been removed from office when we care enough to take action to do so if we seed our power by saying like could never beat that person in an election why like why even bother uh then yeah of course they’re going to stay in power and so so you know you look at uh you look at how much of our politics for example is is just us versus them and and this is one of the mantras that drove me crazy when I was in the Democratic party especially as Vice chair of the DNC I’d go to a lot of these different Democratic party events in different parts of the country and I often heard this Mantra repeated over and over vote blue no matter who telling people turn off your brain yeah don’t pay attention to what’s really going on don’t pay attention to what they’re saying or what their record is or what they’re promising that they will do vote blue no matter who us Good Guys them bad guys we have to we have to recognize the responsibility that comes with being a citizen of of the greatest country in the world it’s our responsibility and if we go back and we read our founding documents we we are reminded of that responsibility that our government only exists with the consent of the governed so if we don’t like the abuse of power that’s taking place if we don’t like the corruption that’s taking place we got to do something about it yeah there’s no single politician that’s going to come and and ride in on a white horse and fix everything so at a minimum yes be informed ask questions and vote maybe you want to run for office maybe you’re maybe you’re and whether it’s a school board which is which is again there there there are good stories happening across the country too with all this craziness about you know drag queens in in preschools and elementary schools and and like actual pornography being given to our kids in schools there there’s so much that’s going on that parents are waking up to and they’re saying like no hell no I’m going to go run for the school board and getting elected and and we’re seeing a transformation happening in many of these different School boards in different parts of the country cuz people are just saying no like this is unacceptable I got to do something about this and so this this is how change happens and it is yes at the highest levels of power in our country in the presidency in the White House in the United States Senate the United States house but it’s also just as important at your city or county council at your you know Board of Education in your State Assembly or your state legislature uh and I would say even at that level you can make change with a immediate effect and tangible impact uh you look at at California for example again going back to California and the law that Gavin Nome just signed into law the bill that he just signed into law taking away parents’ rights in the most fundamental way to make it so that the state of California gets to make the decision to allow your child to undergo mutilation uh irreversible mutilation surgery in the name of quote unquote gender affirming care see I I think that is a I think things like that are a big reason why people feel helpless yeah and it’s not necessarily it’s not just how do we hold the politicians accountable for somebody that doesn’t believe that like myself who I’m conservative and I mean I have whatever I have views on both sides of the aisle but I will never ever agree with the gender stuff with kids no I don’t care you know but what it doesn’t matter what I believe but I see that and nobody it just it seems like it seems like the majority of people don’t care when I hear that when I hear that what just happened in California I automatically registers in my brain that every single person that voted blue is for that it’s not true but how can you vote how can like what is more sacred than the kids yeah what is more sacred than AG than little kids yeah and and we have we have this Maps [ __ ] going on minor attracted persons trying the I was talking about this exactly and people like oh you’re a conspiracy theorist it’s like no the [ __ ] I’m not here it is right here in front of you and and now it’s spreading it’s Way Beyond just the West Coast yeah and and this this this I mean Vanderbilt University was doing it right here in Tennessee and this is one of the reddest states there is yeah and and until they were exposed so how could you how could you what’s more important than the kids so here here’s why I said no is kind of going back to how we started our conversation is that I I have heard from and seen you know people who’ve been lifelong Democrats who when they start learning about this see it for the insanity that it is um and this this is this is where there is hope and this is where I encourage people who know about what’s going on reach out and talk to people in your life who you may know and again you have a huge platform here and you are doing it and reaching out to people who may not be informed otherwise and are getting informed through your podcast people who don’t have podcasts or don’t have a public platform I tell them look look through your phone I guarantee you have at least a hundred people in your phone you might even have a thousand people in your phone look at your Facebook friends if you’re on social media look through there and call somebody who you think may not be informed or call somebody maybe from high school or college or whatever that you’ve lost touch with and talk about what’s going on because they they may not know and even if they think they know they may not actually know the truth because again when you people are busy in their lives and they’re just trying to raise their kids and go to work and survive and all of this and I totally get it and if all they hear is and this is what the Democrat Elite are doing and this is what is so Insidious about what they’re doing is they’re they’re saying well you don’t care about children if you oppose gender affirming care that if you have a child who you know believes they’re stuck in the wrong body and they may kill themselves they may commit suicide unless they receive this gender affirming care This Is How They This Is How They present this um these issues and this legislation to people and unless people are informed with the real facts and the truth their compassion may say oh well I don’t want this you you heard Elon Musk talk about this the other day with his own son and and how you know I I don’t want to put words in his mouth but paraphrasing how he was essentially tricked into this by being told that that unless you do this and sign this piece of paper you may lose your son to Suicide that’s how dark dark and devious these people are in in selling this to parents and to others who may not be directly impacted by this with their own children but who you know I I really believe we are by and large a compassionate people but they are being sold lies about how in the name of gender affirming care they are destroying our kids they are destroying our kids and so this is it’s it’s a huge it is a huge challenge because it’s not just you know the the universities and the doctors and the Democrat activists who are pushing this they have the power of the mainstream propaganda media doing their work for them as well you have you know big Tech and social media companies some of them not X but some of them uh blocking certain narratives and and using their algorithms to advance others so yes we we are up against very very powerful forces on these issues but it is also why we must do our part to have the courage to speak the truth have the courage to speak the truth it’s understandable why you might be afraid because you may have some person who is your co-worker your friend or whatever maybe even a family member who disagrees with you and who will criticize you for it maybe they might call you names they might call you a transphobe they might call you this or that a racist a sexist all of these things I’ve been called almost every name in the freaking book but the only way we break through these insane woke policies that they are put that that are destroying our our people and our our our society the fabric of our country is by every one of us having the courage to to just speak the truth in the same way that you know the old story goes with the child saying that the emperor has no clothes on because that is the situation we are in it is happening in broad daylight objective truth is so obvious just in the examples we’re talking about now pedophilia is pedophilia period full freaking stop I don’t care how you may want to couch it so that so you know he this is their sexual proclivity or whatever it is nice little language that they may try to couch it in as you said if we’re not willing to stand up for the most vulnerable among us and our children what are we doing I don’t know and and and you know kind of I guess a maybe an analogy would be it’s I feel like I feel like people standing up for the kids with the pedophilia and the gender affirming care and yeah guess what maybe your 8-year-old does want to be the opposite gender but it’s an 8-year-old exactly he also wants to be a pilot and he wants to be an astronaut exactly and he wants to be a a a YouTuber or whatever you know and I was a I was I was like a tomboy of tomboy grownup i’ short hair like wore like boys shorts and t-shirts everywhere I went I did martial arts and I went surfing and I was a tomboy of all tomboys and if I if I were growing up in our society today I have zero doubt about the fact that I was homeschooled so I wasn’t like having to deal with public schools and and all of that but if if I were growing up today whether through Public Schools or social media I guarantee you uh that push and that that external push and pressure would have been like oh well obviously you you know you you like to do the things that the boys are doing and I thought like you know like this all this I don’t want to play with dolls and you know like I’m not interested in any of that stuff they would have told me well you’re obviously stuck in the wrong body like let us help you feel more at home like whatever the nonsense and the [ __ ] that they’re that they’re that they’re seeding into our kids minds and yeah yeah you know I still like martial arts I still like surfing uh but you know you go through these different phases of life especially as a kid growing up and these things are IR like the things they are doing are causing irreversible damage I I think uh I mean I think a lot of I think it would it would feel very similar to the Israelis you got a little small dot in the middle of the Middle East and everybody around that small dot is United because they want to end them yeah and that’s kind of how I feel as somebody who conservative views resonate with is all of the mainstream media except what one or two channels one or two organizations are right leaning all of the social media uh platforms with the exception of one and that’s new yeah uh X is all blue yeah and and and that’s all that gets covered and then back to kind of my question on I I feel like everybody that votes blue is for this and and I think that comes maybe from the top down too is I’ve not I person maybe I’m wrong but I personally have not seen one Democrat stand up for kids when it comes to this Maps stuff I haven’t seen one Democrat stand up against the gender affirming surgeries in in in puberty BL lockers I’ve not seen anybody you’re right from that side stand up and so that makes and I have I’m even I’m embarrassed to even sit I have extended family that has that has sat at my kitchen table and told me that a man can have a a a biological male can have a baby wow and I’m um and that’s from somebody that voted read their entire life until until Trump and like a complete 180 yeah and I’m like is this all of these people is this entire group of people like this in my experience the answer is no but there are and I’m not ending that with a period because um there is still much work to be done in helping to inform people about what’s really going on which is the main reason why I wrote this book uh is because people get little Snippets little sound bites little pieces of of narratives and information here and there but um don’t have I don’t know in my book I I talk about why I joined the Democratic party over 20 years ago and the experiences that I’ve had personally both in politics but really in in my life that have informed my worldview and ultimately leading to an and I really dedicate each chapter not to a um you know a a political issue where both parties have very different ideas on how to solve like healthcare for example or um education policy for example I mean there there are I mean there are and there are very real different approaches to to these very important issues I I didn’t go that route because I I wasn’t interested in you know it’s not that kind of book the book really uh in each chapter I focus on fundamental um values and principles that that impact all of us um I dedicate a chapter to God and share my own um you know the the most Central and important role that my personal relationship with God has in my life and how today’s Democrat Party is doing everything that they can to try to erase God from every facet of our public life and and going after and targeting people of faith and and spirituality which directly defies our first amendment and our freedom of religion I’m not saying you know you should believe what I believe or casting judgment on anyone it’s not that it’s about the Constitution and recognizing that our government should not be weaponized against people of faith and spirituality and that freedom of religion does not mean that God does not exist in our public life at all if means I get to express my love for God my faith in God in the way that I choose whether it be in private or in public at the time of my choosing and another person who is an atheist also has the freedom to express their views and and their belief system uh you know I dedicate a chapter obviously to the topic of War it’s very personal I dedicate a chapter to family you know the fabric of of found ational fabric of of civilization and in each of these different I I dedicate a chapter to Identity politics and how the Democrat Party is racializing everything and trying to tear us apart dedicated a chapter to free speech these are fundamental principles uh that are grounded and rooted in our constitution uh and and um they’re not issues per se but they are factors that impact every one of us I don’t care what your political party is my experience is being outlined and I I am encouraging people to leave the Democrat Party behind because that’s the party that I was part of for over 20 years but the the things that I’m bringing up are things that we should all be concerned about and that that should drive us if we care to actually want to take action where do you think I mean you just brought a a whole list of topics that are very important to to to me as well yeah and so you brought up kind of in different words about destroying the families we’ve been talking about kids we’ve been talking about gender we’ve been where are these we you’re talking about taking God out of the out of everything yeah where where are these agendas stemming from because I don’t I don’t I don’t a lot of Democrats in my family growing up not my immediate family but and none of them were like this and so same where did this where is this all these all these ridiculous agendas where do they stem from at at its core it comes from it comes from people who um ultimately want to be they want to be God they want to be the ultimate um Master they want to be the ultimate Creator they want to be the controller of of all that they you know survey and and so when you when you look at you know for example people who have faith in God well if you have faith in God that means you are not going to be open to uh having faith in them or their power or the government and so therefore they view this as a competition that they have to compete for our faith and our Allegiance and our loyalty and that if we believe in an authority and higher power that is more powerful than the government then that takes away what they view as their their oxygen wow how many of these people are there I can’t I mean I I can’t give you a number but when you look at people who are telling us that what we know to be objectively true and the biological difference between a man and a woman and a boy and a girl and they tell us you’re wrong just believe what we are telling you that a biological male can become pregnant uh whether they realize you know there there are definitely politicians out there who are just parting the talking points because they’re lazy and they’re just trying to go along to get along and they’re just trying to keep their job and and they care more about keeping the job than actually speaking the truth and it’s what we talked about you don’t want to be ostr ized in Washington you don’t want to be cast out they see what happens to people like me and how what the Democratic party did to me even as I was in Congress and I was running for president on the Democratic ticket uh they have done for years all that they could to destroy me and I had even when I was in Congress there towards the end uh I was going to work with a Democrat colleague on a piece of legislation or an issue that we had agreed on for years and we had worked together on previously and that member’s staff told my staff no we’re not going to work with you guys on this because we don’t want our boss to be infected with your boss’s toxicity are you serious I’m dead serious it’s a true story and so they look at people like me even people who may agree on some of these things that we’re talking about that just again it’s common sense it’s common sense they are terrified so we said not a single Democrat in the house or Senate has stood up for the well-being of kids in this issue of gender affirming care not a single one again that I’ve seen and I’ve looked not a single one has stood up against President Biden’s mandate that has destroyed Title 9 which creates a fair and Level Playing Field for girls and women’s in education and sports he destroyed that by inserting gender identity which then opens the the door wide open for any man to go in as we’ve seen with Leah Thomas and these other examples to go in and compete a biological male to compete in biological women’s sports not a single one of them has stood up for women and girls this is coming from people who claim to be feminists and we support women and all this other crap they are terrified because they see what happens to people like me and they care more about uh what their friends think of them and what those little Circles of of you know backslab in that take place in Washington DC than they do about truth and Common Sense and actually caring for our kids and caring for our young women and girls and caring for for the people in our country and and that’s you know so so yes it’s it’s people who believe that they are uh they know what’s best for our country uh more than we do so they try to take away our ability to make choices for ourselves because they don’t want us to make wrong choices they try to control what information we see and and and don’t see because they know what’s best for us that they need to curate that so that we’re protected from violent speech or hate speech or misinformation or disinformation all of these things that they label to try to silence certain people’s voices or certain narratives they want to limit who we can vote for on the ballot we saw 32 over 32 states tried to take Trump off the ballot so vote couldn’t even have the right to choose uh we talked about the legislation in California it’s not the only state that’s pushing for this kind of thing so so we see them putting themselves in a position once again as the ultimate Authority that that can tell us what is true and what is false because they say it is so that is more powerful and knows better uh than what our Founders laid out for us in the Constitution for example kamla Harris there’s article six of the Constitution talks about how there shall be no religious test for anyone serving in public office in our country as a senator in the Judiciary Committee she launched accusations against and opposed judicial nominees by President Trump simply because of their faith this judge Brian bushe for example he was nominated not not for the Supreme Court it was some other federal circuit court judge I believe because he was Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus kamla Harris and our senator from Hawaii Maisy hirano were launching accusations at him for his faith and asking him will you will you give up your membership In The Nights of Columbus uh if you are allowed to serve uh as a judge completely define the constitution I could go there there’s too many examples but ultimately what does it come down to it comes down to power they care more about power and it and whether it is it is those who know exactly what they are doing and the ends justify the means because they believe they alone know what is best for us and they really do it their heart of hearts hate this country and what it stands for or it’s those who are sheep following along the end result is the same mhm both groups of these people are people who swore an oath to the Constitution like you and I did and and who are defying and breaking that promise uh in the oath that they swore and the promise that they made to those who voted for them to serve in office thank you for sharing that I I wanted to I want to jump around a little bit um I I want to know how the lobbyists approach how they approach members of Congress how they approach members of Congress how does that happen um it it’s it is a very cozy relationship you make friends you run in the same Social Circles there are lobbyists there are Retreats um that either members of Congress or political parties host and lobbyists are very much a part of that um you know I I you I I’m sure that in some cases they oh actually I know for sure in some cases they make direct threats that if you vote a certain way uh there was uh someone I knew in Congress that was going to run an ad in uh their political campaign that was calling for um negotiating lower prescription drug prices for Medicare uh to help seniors who couldn’t afford it and a couple other again Common Sense reforms that would actually help people and perhaps r i I wouldn’t even say hurt big Pharma because they make so much money but it might reduce a little bit of the profits that they make and the industry and the lobby is for the industry said if you run that ad we’re going to pull the however million 510 million do that we had set aside to run uh ads supporting your candidacy they pulled the ad they pulled the ad um and so you have the direct threat approach of of a of pulling back of monetary support and then you just have uh you know lobbyists who who build up that friendship and obviously they’re funding these people’s campaigns and uh just be like hey bro here’s what I need you to do this is what my boss is asking for this is why it’s important I know this probably isn’t a big issue for your District so this is an easy one W you just W you just vote this way yeah what about I mean is there any direct money when you know you see all these people you see all these people show up in Congress the Senate the cabinet whatever and you know not wealthy yeah and then you know let’s fast forward a couple years and they got Steve aoke DJ in their 40th birthday party how does that happen I don’t have firsthand experience in this I have often questioned the same thing I know a big factor is the insider trading that goes on uh in Congress and and again some people will say well like hey I didn’t know anything about this I’m just making Investments for my family or my wife or my husband is making Investments I don’t know anything about what’s going on maybe they’re being honest maybe they’re not but the reality is you’re in a position where you’re making decisions either in committee or on the house floor that influence our markets that influence the outcomes of of certain industries either causing some to tank or others to to Skyrocket and the the mere perception of insider trading shouldn’t exist uh this is legislation again I introduced in Congress years ago no member of Congress should be allowed to do any trading of any stocks uh neither should their spouse neither should their senior staff period these are the these are the people who have access to proprietary PRI information that’s not open to everybody in the public or certainly before it becomes public and uh and you the the possibility of the abuse of power in trading on that information should not should not exist um it’s it’s interesting because uh as we’re seeing there are some members of Congress who say that share my view on that uh but who are continuing to trade stocks uh themselves um the sen just passed I think out of committee it’s first step uh legislation that would would reflect similar to mine I think they’re banning members and their spouses we’ll see where it goes in the Senate we’ve heard a lot of talk coming from leaders from both parties but um no action has been taken that that to me is the most obvious way that people are going from being elected and having no money and you make what 160 Grand a year whatever the salary is now uh to literally becoming multi-millionaires um that is the most obvious way if uh there there are kind of stringent requirements of financial reporting that every member has to has to do certainly at least once a year more often if you are actively trading in stocks but um it it I think it would be a little hard not impossible but a little hard if somebody’s just coming and bringing you a sack of cash okay I’m just curious It’s not to say that like you know I mean I don’t know this is not a real life example but you know I don’t know could could could a lobbyist go and pay the tuition for your kid to go to a fancy private school makes sense maybe makes sense what you had mentioned uh earlier about people lose sight of why they why they you why they ran for Congress and and and they lose sight of it what was I mean at age 21 yeah what what was I thinking that’s that’s pretty young to be thinking about politics I mean yeah very young and so I I’m just curious what was it at age 21 that we were just that much more mature than than everyone around you or I wasn’t thinking about this stuff at 21 but yeah I um it’s impressive it’s very it’s extremely impressive I a few things um I at a at a really young age I experienced two very formative things uh one was and the most important was that I I felt that I was happiest when I was doing things for other people and trying to trying to be of service and you know whether it was like you know we our our family used to go and like make a bunch of plates and and feed people homeless people in the park every Sunday uh you know I grew up around the ocean and learned how to like the first time I learned how to swim was in alamana beach and on the island of aahu and uh and so me and my friends would go and we’d pick up trash off the beach uh on the weekends um you know something as simple or little as like help pushing someone else into a wave in the surf and just watching The Joy on their face um it made me happy when I could do things for other people and I knew from a relatively young age that that I wanted to do that with my life to to be of service to God and to be of service uh to others I didn’t know I not not once did the thought of politics crossed my mind I was uh I am the fourth of five kids uh and by far of the five kids in our family uh an introvert and and shy using the word shy puts it mildly uh my younger I just was like I’m I don’t want I don’t want to talk to strangers uh answering the phone at our house was like no I like I don’t know who’s going to be on the other line I don’t want to talk to them uh my sister total extrovert younger sister I would make her like Mom says Hey need you guys go to the grocery store and pick up some you know milk or whatever and I would just make her go talk to the clerk I just was like I had my friends and I’m good um and so the idea of you know I hated cameras my dad with his little like you know home movie camera I I literally ran away from the camera uh at every chance I got and uh so the idea of giving a speech or going on TV or any of that stuff it literally never crossed my mind um the the other really formative experience was and and really I I can only attribute this to God is um I was probably 11 or 12 years old and I was I had this realization and I remember just sitting in this room I was by myself and I had this realization that um life is very short and I knew I had this powerful feeling of knowing in a visceral way that you know I I I I could die at any time and so the idea of like oh well know you’ve got your whole life ahead of you I didn’t feel that way because I didn’t know maybe maybe not and and what came with that was a sense of I need like I need to make the most of the time that I have and so the normal kind of you know I I was I guess I was I was mature for my age and I think that that played a huge role in that in in wanting to do something positive with my life and the time that I had and not like dick around and waste time um and so so what drove me to to eventually look into uh public service and and political office was uh there’s a few things but but one that that really showed me how change was possible in our government was there was there was a a a big landfill developer that wanted to build a landfill over one of our major water aquifers on the island of aahu uh it provided water clean drinking water for about a third of the population of approximately a million people and so even me as and I was a teenag I was like 16 17 at the time maybe 18 and uh even I knew that that was a bad idea that if you build a landfill over a water aquifer possibility of of that bleaching through and contaminating our groundwater would create a massive crisis cuz we’re we’re the most remote island chain in the world you you can’t just like ship in water easily or truck in water from somewhere else you knock out a major water aquifer like that that’s over 300,000 people whose lives are directly affected and impacted and so I you know joined a bunch of people we went out we started Gathering telling people like hey did you know that this is what they’re trying to do this land again going back to to lobbyists and money and politics this landfill uh company was very cozy with the president of the state senate who was kind of greasing the wheels for him to get this thing approved uh and fast-tracked and so you know it was petitions old school piece of paper pen standing outside the grocery store telling people like hey do you know that this is what’s going on in your neighborhood and uh many people say saying no I had no idea and then signing their names and saying well of course we have to stop this long story short we stopped it the landfill was never put in place over that water aquifer and um that politician was exposed and that for me was just like oh my gosh made a change you can make a diff you really can make a difference and so I was at 21 at A at a kind of a a fork in the road I was thinking about maybe I should go to school cuz I thought I was going to work in the TV and film industry I went to Community College first and studying TV and Film Production and and understanding the power of Storytelling and and so on um but but ended up at this juncture where I thought well I can go and get like a degree in political science and talk about like policy and how do you do this and this and that but I’ve already seen how it can be done uh there was an opportunity as an opening to run for an open State House seat uh in my neighborhood and I thought well I can talk about it or I can do it and the odds were not in my favor I was 21 didn’t have a bachelor’s degree uh I wasn’t like one of these young phenoms who started like a a successful tech company when I’m 16 or anything like that and I was running against people who were very wellestablished an engineer and a doctor and a nurse and and people who were all of us running for office for the first time there’s no incumbent and I just figured um I have the opportunity to take action and offer to serve if people say yes we want you to serve then I will have the opportunity to to actually bring this fresh leadership and and problemsolving mindset to our legislature and if people say no like what have I lost nothing I will have only gained experience and knowledge and understanding and uh and so that’s what happened and I I knocked on every door in my District over like two and a half times and actually got to listen to people and and hear about their concerns and uh they they allowed me to to serve in that role man very impressive very impressive dedication I love it um I want to talk to you about the Hawaii wildfires yeah and all the conspiracy that is kind of surrounded it what have they received any Aid yet they have received some they’ve received some but the bureaucracy like the short answer is the bureaucracy of of the government um FEMA in particular has uh been extremely constraining and limiting in what what people have been able to actually get the the rebuild uh process hasn’t even begun are you serious clean up the cleanup is still ongoing uh the you know there there was the the layers of toxic material uh are there there were underground um fuel storage tanks underneath the gas station that were you know incinerated and so the the cleanup has required digging many many layers below the surface to get out all of the toxic material before people can begin to go in and start to apply for the permits that they’ll need to start rebuilding their homes where are all these people living that is the question um some of them have been you know they converted a hotel into kind of a long-term place for people to live at the state level oh man um staying with family a lot of people have been forced to leave because you know it it’s expensive it’s expensive to live in in Hawaii and uh it it’s there there have not been very good Solutions the governor you know he was encouraging uh homeowners who have you know vacation homes in Hawaii like hey uh turn your vacation rental home into a long-term rental so that these families can you know kids in school and never like let let them come and actually just rent your house for the next year or whatever um not very many people were willing to do that and so he took action to essentially limit or stop them from being able to be short-term rentals so that then you know okay well either you’re not going to rent it at all or you’re going to rent it to a family that’s been displaced yeah uh but it’s it’s it’s been a and continues to be a very very tough road for these families and these kids are you aware of any of the conspiracies around it I am probably aware of all of them is there any truth to the Black Rock do you think this was on purpose I don’t you don’t I don’t well that’s refreshing to hear and I I’m I can I’m saying that um not just because of belief but because I I went there um I was in army training in uh where was I Fort lenworth and uh when this happened and thankfully I was able to take leave and get back to Maui as quickly as possible I was like I think it was the second or third day after the the fires um and so I went obviously directly out to West Maui to to go and talk to people this was this was a community that was in my district when I was in Congress for eight years and I wanted to know what happened and speaking to you know the firefighters the people who were there Community leaders um the the convergence of events that resulted in you know winds changing direction funneling through the valley uh the side of the island is very very dry it didn’t used to be that way there’s a whole long story we don’t have time for right now about how the water was diverted away from a side of the island that used to be very Lush uh and diverted away at like the top of the mountain to uh irrigate the plantation fields on a different side of the island and so land that used to be very Lush is now very very very dry every single summer there are um uh brush fires that break out firefighters are very busy often you know they’re able to put them out in time but the convergence of the brush fires with these hurricane speed winds funneling through the valley essentially turned this situation into what they described as a horizontal blowtorch that then went Direct ly across uh that side of the island and within minutes raising everything that was in its path is it true that uh only the BL blue roofs survived no I didn’t think so his Oprah or the rock or any of these other extremely wealthy people done anything to help the people that have been displaced I haven’t been following it too closely I saw the video they put out about how they donated $10 million and then they were asking everybody else to give money um you know okay I I’ll just let that speak for itself yeah yeah as far as your political career is concerned where do you where are you headed uh let me let me first just say that I’ve I’ve never I’ve never thought of Politics As a career period um you know my constant assessment and reflection for myself in my life is where and how can I best be of service we talked about how I was elected to the state legislature I was campaigning for re-election after my first term which was two years when our um I was in the National Guard enlisted because of 911 like a lot of people uh our our Brigade combat team was activated for deployment went to Iraq it was going to be an 18-month long deployment I was in a headquarters medical unit and was not on the mandatory deployment roster I called my commander and said there’s no way you guys are going without me there’s no way I’m staying home uh it took some work to to make him know that I meant what I said he’s like oh you can stay home keep doing you’re doing great work in the legislature all this other stuff I said you don’t understand I’m not I am not staying back and waving goodbye to you guys as you get on that plane so I suspended my reelection campaign wow they found a job that needed filling in the um what was called the Charlie Med the medical company in that Brigade combat team I got trained for that job that they needed filling was was Logistics and operations essentially and um uh and and so left office and went uh went on that deployment and um to say it changed my life as an understatement just every day being confronted with that that heavy human cost of war that the very first task that I was responsible for every day I was I was the Brigade surgeon operations um officer basically and the very first task that I had every day was to go down a list of names of every single American um who had been injured in in combat uh the day the previous 24 hours we had close to I think around 25 2600 uh soldiers from our Hawaii National Guard uh Brigade combat team in four different battle spaces in Iraq this was in 2005 oh yeah a lot going on a lot going on and and so I went through that list every morning uh looking to see if there were any of our soldiers who had been um hit and and injured the day before and you know comms are not always great we didn’t always know who are what where are they are they getting the care they needed and so I was tracking them down figuring out what was going on what did they need were they getting the care that they needed did they need to be evacuated immediately uh so that I could you know make things happen and inform our commander of of you know every single by name one of our troops was going on and um you know it it it’s hard to express in words you know both for the friends of mine who I saw on that list but for every single person every single name every single American on that list and and um in in the most real and human way understanding the cost of war and so coming back from that deployment I uh people were like oh you just go back to your your job in the state legislature you pick up the life you got a bright political future ahead of you I had I couldn’t do that I couldn’t do it and so I didn’t know what was next I started looking at you know different positions different jobs like let me figure out where and how I can somehow be in a position of influence where I can take take this experience I had had and and you you know if I can’t be a policy maker right now then then then help inform someone who is um long story short I ended up uh working as a legislative aid for US senator akaka from Hawaii who was the chairman of the Veterans Affairs committee at the time and I was able to provide him with like you know you’d get the the the high up people from the VA coming and giving him these fancy presentations about here’s all the great things we’re doing and then I would tell him well here’s what just went through a few months ago and coming back and you know that that you know they’re oh we’re informing soldiers about all of this and this and that I was like yeah that was like five slides on a PowerPoint with them saying you’re not allowed to go eat lunch until you watch these slides Okay click click click click click and you know is that of value no it’s not and so being able to bring that real-time experience um to him to help better inform what he was doing uh was my way of at that time taking that experience and and putting into action all of that is to say um where do I go next what exactly does that look like I really don’t know but I am continuing in my pursuit to be in a position where I can make that most uh most positive impact in service to our country well I know you don’t consider it a career but I hope you stick with it because you have a very powerful voice and I think you’re making a huge difference and um and uh it’s just super frustrating to meet somebody like you that’s that’s that has the ability to be involved if they want to be and um I I I mean that from the heart and means a lot to me and uh thank you so I hope you stick with it and find your place I’m all in I’m and we all have we all have our own unique role to play and it may take different shapes and forms for every one of us but for every one of us who really loves our country and who values Freedom every single one of us and for everybody who’s listening or everybody who’s watching I’m talking to you every one of us has an important and valuable role to play and you know each of us has different skills and gifts and abilities it’s up to us to take that responsibility for ourselves that if if we are unhappy with the direction our country is headed in uh we are the solution and it’s not one election snap of a fingers okay we’re done it’s not like oh if we only get through this election everything is going to be fine no that’s not that’s unfortunately not the way it works of the world that we live in it requires it requires that constant engagement that constant accountability that constant ownership that individual ownership of of the responsibility that goes along with the individual liberty that is enshrined in our constitution we don’t we don’t if we just sit back and think like okay it’s America we will lose y those freedoms and our individual liberty and we already are so the the call to action is not just well yeah maybe someday I’ll pay attention the time is now because the forces of Darkness the forces of evil the forces who are trying to take away our fundamental god-given rights and freedoms um they are moving forward at full force and my sincere concern is that if too many of us are complacent in this election and don’t realize what’s at stake and kamla Harris is allowed to become president kamla Harris she will continue to do the bidding of the unelected people who have been making decisions in our country certainly over these last three and a half years that are all centered around how do they remain in power then we will get to a point where we won’t recognize the country that we live in and that our freedoms will be so eroded that it will be very difficult if not impossible to get them back very well put there’s a lot on the line right now yes and um well tulsy I know you’ve uh got a jet but but um I just want to say on top of what I’ve already said I I just want to say as a fellow veteran thank you thank you for your service and thank you for your continued service to the country and and uh and uh I’m just so glad we met me too I’m really grateful um I’m grateful to now actually know you it’s like these things where you listen to somebody on a podcast you watch them on YouTube you you get a pretty good sense of who they are which is why these pod are great it’s it’s not just a sound bite uh but I I am so grateful that that you invited me to come here and to actually know you thank you that means a lot and um best luck with your book be in the description and uh we’ll blast it all over every social media thank you platform we can but um I hope to see you again likewise thank you Sean [Music] [Applause] no

Truly Right View: Advocating for Free Speech in the Age of Political Censorship

Introduction: What is Free Speech Today?

In a world where political discourse is dominated by big tech, cable news, and social media influencers, free speech is constantly under threat. From censorship of conservative viewpoints to the silencing of dissent on controversial issues, we are witnessing an alarming trend of restrictions on the most fundamental rights of any citizen in our Constitutional Republic: the right to speak freely.

But what does free speech truly mean in today’s context? Are we protecting it, or are we allowing authoritarian ideologies like socialism, communism, fascism, and dictatorships to erode it?

The Constitutional Perspective: Why Free Speech is Non-Negotiable

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is crystal clear: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” The Founding Fathers understood the importance of free speech in preserving a free society. Without it, the ability to challenge government, expose corruption, and advocate for truth would be crushed.

Yet today, under the guise of protecting people from “misinformation” and “hate speech,” powerful institutions are curbing our ability to express ideas that do not conform to their narratives.

Do we not see this as a slippery slope toward authoritarianism?

Shouldn’t we, as citizens, be the ones who decide what we can or cannot hear, not a centralized body or corporation?

Social Media and Cable News: Platforms or Gatekeepers?

Social media was once hailed as the bastion of free speech. It allowed ordinary individuals to share their thoughts, advocate for causes, and hold the powerful accountable. However, over the years, major platforms like Twitter (now X), Facebook, and YouTube have become gatekeepers rather than facilitators of free expression.

Algorithms favor certain ideologies, while alternative viewpoints—especially those with a more conservative or constitutional slant—are shadow-banned, demonetized, or outright censored.

Does this not resemble the tactics of monarchies, communistic or fascist regimes that control what their citizens can see and hear?

Shouldn’t a true democracy allow the free flow of ideas, even if those ideas challenge the status quo?

Social Media Influencers: Fighters for Freedom or Puppets of Censorship?

Many social media influencers, especially those aligned with constitutional values, have become modern-day warriors for free speech. Yet, they face intense backlash, censorship, and de-platforming for voicing opinions that challenge globalist or left-leaning narratives.

How many times have we seen influential voices banned simply for questioning government policies, election results, or health mandates?

Isn’t it concerning that only a select group of elites can decide what is “acceptable” discourse?

While some influencers fall in line with these restrictive policies, others have emerged as champions for free speech, using their platforms to resist censorship and uphold constitutional rights. The question is: Will we support these voices, or will we allow them to be drowned out by corporate and governmental censorship?

The Dangers of Socialism, Communism, and Fascism: A Threat to Free Speech

At the heart of socialism, communism, and fascism lies a common tactic—control over speech. These ideologies have historically sought to suppress dissent, limit expression, and create a monolithic narrative that favors those in power.

Look no further than authoritarian regimes past and present, where dissenters are imprisoned, media is state-controlled, and free speech is criminalized. Can we really ignore the striking similarities between these oppressive ideologies and the current state of political discourse in America?

Is the suppression of speech today not a precursor to more draconian measures tomorrow?

Should we not fight to preserve the right to freely express political, social, and economic ideas?

The Truly Right View: Defending Freedom in the Digital Age
