Host / other voice

To Gabbers, the director of national intelligence, are you buying that the former FBI director didn't know what 86 Trump met? Absolutely not, Jesse. That is a ridiculous and insane statement to make, certainly within this context, but especially coming from a guy who's the former director of the FBI, a guy who spent most of his career prosecuting mobsters and gangsters, people who know and execute other humans and use this exact lingo of 86.

Host / other voice

A senior intelligence official pushed back against the characterization that Tulsi Gabbard had been excluded, saying she provided intelligence that helped the overall mission, even if it was less operational and more analytical.

Tulsi Gabbard

Some of you have accused me of being a traitor to my country, a Russian asset, a Trojan horse, or a useful idiot, I think was the term that you used, which basically means that I'm naive or lack intelligence to know what's going on. They use that. I want to let your viewers know exactly who I am. All right. Set the record straight. I am a patriot. I love our country. I am a strong and intelligent woman of color. And I have dedicated almost my entire adult life to protecting the safety, security, and the freedom of all Americans in this country.

Tulsi Gabbard

Charlie lived his life as a warrior for truth and for freedom, every single day choosing to step into the arena armed with the Constitution, sparring through debate on the battlefield of ideas, fighting for the heart of our democratic republic, and the unalienable rights endowed upon every one of us by our creator.

Tulsi Gabbard

Hopelessness and hate. Those who are full of anger and hopelessness and hate right now, some of them protesting outside this hall today. Unfortunately, they do not have the spiritual happiness that Charlie experienced. They're empty. And this is where their anger is coming from. It is their rejection of God, their desire to be God, and therefore they have made God their enemy. I have hope today that every one of us will do our best to shine the light of God's love in our lives and in our work, that we will treat each other with aloha, respect, and stand strong and unshakable in the defense of our God-given rights and freedoms. May God bless you all. May God bless this great nation.

Host / other voice

Charlie lived by the principle that no matter how horrible another person's speech may be their ideas must be defeated by better ideas, not by resorting to violence.

Host / other voice

Think of how evil that is. And think of the great accomplishment that happened with her being in charge then of that organization.

It was an honor to visit your husband's grave today on your behalf and to pay my respects. It was wonderful to see the beautiful flowers representing many others who did the same. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice and to the loved ones they left behind. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

this is the first man since Reagan, who now says, tear down this wall. Except then it was the Berlin Wall and communism. Trump is saying, tear down the wall here. The wall of the deep state, the wall of the democratic regime, the wall of the swamp. Your medical freedom is worth protecting.

Host / other voice

She's supposed to be a moderate, middle Democrat, right? And her show. And now she's fabricating what is going on with ICE, fabricating that somehow that ICE is going into hundreds, if not thousands of families' homes and just destroying them and taking their kids and putting them in jail.
