Tulsi Gabbard“The spread of Islamist ideology in some cases led by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood poses a fundamental threat to freedom and the foundational principles that underpin Western civilization.”
Host / other voice“she defended Trump's authority and the chain of command, but she appears to have framed the conclusion as the president's judgment after reviewing intelligence rather than saying the intelligence community had clearly established an imminent threat.”
Tulsi Gabbard“Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our president and commander in chief. As our commander in chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people, and our country.”
Host / other voice“If you think also about all the others, I'll make the case, right? And this is what I always hear behind the scenes. What are they supposed to do? They can't do anything. Bullshit, in my opinion. Tulsi Gabbard, you can resign.”
Host / other voice“The reason that Ms. Tulsi Gabbard was not involved was that she opposed Venezuela. Yeah. She opposed going in and removing Maduro. Once she did that, she lost all credibility with Donald Trump.”
Tulsi Gabbard“After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.”
Host / other voice“the CIA seized the boxes of files of JFK, MK, ULtra, and related topics from Tulsi Gabbard's office while being processed for declassification under Trump's order and then deleted that.”
Host / other voice“I fully agree with that. I think Tulsi Gabbard is on her way out as DNI, especially given the shenanigans of Joe Kent, who's making an absolute ridiculous fool of himself right now.”
Host / other voice“Tulsi Gabbard never had some major ideological shift. The war mongering, cowtowing politician that you're hearing from today is the politician she's always been.”
Host / other voice“If I'm not mistaken, I believe she and the intelligence community in this country kind of amended that and said, yeah, well, these are the circumstances now.”
Host / other voice“That's exactly what Trump did. He conducted and committed an act of war without congressional authority, seriously escalating the situation with Iran.”
Tulsi Gabbard“Yes, so I want to clarify on that because there's been much talk about a fatwa against the development of a nuclear weapon.”
