Tulsi Gabbard’s rise from Hawaii’s first-term Democratic congresswoman in 2013 to a CPAC headliner in 2024 exposes the party’s shift from "people’s champion" to elite-driven war machine, silencing dissent with Syria bombing opposition, Bernie vs. Clinton clashes, and "Russian asset" smears by Obama, Clinton, and Romney. She details weaponized institutions—DOJ, media, tech—suppressing COVID-era debates, biolab warnings, and election integrity while lawmakers like Pelosi profit from insider trading. Rejecting financial gain (no wealth left Congress), she frames Biden/Harris repression as a democracy threat, ties rights to divine—not government—authority, and warns of a cultural war over truth and freedom, positioning herself as a potential Trump VP if offered. Carlson highlights her uncompromising integrity against Washington’s systemic corruption. [Automatically generated summary]
So try to think back to 2013. It wasn't that long ago we had air travel and electricity and air conditioning.
It was part of the modern era.
2013, Tulsi Gabbard, who was in her early 30s, had just been elected from Hawaii.
She was a member of Congress, first term, a Democrat.
And not just a Democrat, she was the single most famous freshman that year.
And she was feted by her party.
The Democratic Party made her vice chair of the DNC. As a freshman, that year.
And she was on the cover of magazines.
She was the future of the Democratic Party.
It was 2013. Fast forward 11 years to the beginning of 2024. That very same person was a headliner at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee.
And not only did she speak there, she was arguably the most popular person who spoke there.
This year, 11 years later, here's part of what she said.
The perpetrators of this attack are those who in the name of saving our democracy are destroying it.
I don't use these words lightly.
Every one of us who loves this country and who cherishes peace and freedom should be very alarmed by those who, driven by their insatiable hunger for power, are actively undermining all that we stand for.
And almost every single day, if you're paying attention to the news and the headlines, there is some new assault and some new attack.
Now it's the Democrat elite and the swamp creatures in Washington who are doing all that they possibly can to keep us, the American people, from a very simple thing: having the freedom to choose who we want to be our next president. from a very simple thing: having the freedom to choose And it is clear through their actions they have no respect for us and they have no respect for our fundamental rights as citizens of this Democratic Republic.
They are so terrified that we the people may make what they think is the wrong choice.
That in the name of protecting democracy and saving us from ourselves, they're actually destroying our democracy and taking away our freedom.
Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii, probably the most reliably democratic liberal state argument there maybe, but subjective, but pretty close, if not the most.
As you were talking, I'm just thinking through, like, gosh, has it only been 10, 11 years?
But to me, it just shows how insane today's Democratic Party has become.
Really, truly.
I joined the Democratic Party.
In 2002, I was 21 years old when I ran for the State House in Hawaii.
And as you know, I come from, you know, my parents are very independent-minded people.
They raise all of us five kids to be critical thinkers and independent-minded.
Make your own decision, but do your research and figure out why you are coming to this conclusion or why you are coming to this decision.
And so when I decided to run for office in Hawaii...
There wasn't just like, well, of course I'm going to be a part of this party or that party because, you know, somebody told me to her because it was like a family generational thing.
None of that was there.
And so I really started to look at, you know, Hawaii's history in politics.
Why was Hawaii such a strong democratic state?
As it still is now, it's a little bit less so, but...
At that time, what I saw was a party that welcomed freethinkers.
It was truly a big tent party, even in their own words.
It was a party that stood up for civil liberties.
It's a party that stood up for freedom of speech and was willing to fight for it.
It was a party that in Hawaii's history fought for working people, fought for average everyday Americans against the corporate industrial complex, which in Hawaii was the big four plantation owners back in the day.
It was because of those reasons and looking at leaders like JFK. For people who aren't familiar with the history of the state, which is actually very interesting.
And going back, and this is where there was a big shift, and people in the political world ask all the time, is like, why did Hawaii become such a strong Democrat state?
It was because there were four major landowners that came in and essentially took the land from the local people through the queen in jail and decided, okay, well, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to start growing sugarcane.
We're going to start growing pineapples.
And they essentially installed themselves as the government of what was then the territory of Hawaii.
And local people really didn't have a whole lot of say in it.
But through that process, there were immigrants coming from Japan and from the Philippines, from Portugal, from places all over the world, seeking opportunity, getting work visas and work contracts to go and work in the fields.
And these massive plantation owners essentially treated them like crap.
Subhuman living conditions, abysmal pay, and essentially what we would call complete abuse in this day and age.
But they got away with it because the people had no voice.
When one group started to rise up and say, hey, we got to stick together and demand better living conditions and better pay, let's say it was the Filipinos who did it.
And they said, okay, well, fine.
We're just going to have the Japanese workers come in and take over your fields and leave you with nothing.
And so pitting one group against the other.
So in Hawaii, it was the ILWU union primarily that came in and actually started to organize workers.
And there was a couple of Democrat political leaders who had failed at the polls previously because they didn't have the votes.
They came in and said, hey, look, we're going to fight for you.
And they did.
And that was when Hawaii shifted from Republican to Democrat control because the Democrat Party at that time was the party of the people.
Didn't matter where you were from, didn't matter your background, how much money you made or didn't make your education or anything else.
They were the party of the people battling against the elite.
And so the reason why this story is important is because you look at that legacy in my home state of Hawaii, and then you look at what's happening in our politics today, where unfortunately the Democrat Party...
And those in charge of it are now the party of the elite, who are way out of touch with the experience of everyday working people across this country.
And it is unfortunate that that party has gotten so far away from its roots, its roots of being a party that celebrated freedom, its roots of being a party that fought for civil liberties, to one now where...
With the Biden-Harris administration and the Democrat elite across Washington are intentionally politicizing and weaponizing the tools of our own government and their friends in big tech and social media and their friends in the mainstream media to take away our freedoms, to take away our right to free speech, to violate our privacy and our civil liberties.
They have become the party of war.
In every respect, unfortunately, the Democrat Party has become a party that is undermining the very fabric of our country, of our freedom, of our Constitution and the rule of law, which is why ultimately I left the Democratic Party.
And it's why I am sounding the alarm bells as we head into this very critical election year about really what's at stake.
When I first got elected in 2012, it was a race that I was not supposed to win if you listen to anybody who knew anything about politics.
And I won that election.
Zero support from any...
You know, local or national Democratic Party individuals or the party as a whole.
It was, imagine this, the people's voices were heard through their votes and they were sick and tired of the pay-to-play corrupt politics and wanted a new direction and a fresh direction of leadership.
And so it was a hard-fought election, but I had no idea what was in store when I actually went.
But shortly after my primary election, I got a call from Nancy Pelosi saying, hey, do you want to speak during prime time at the Democratic Convention coming up?
I was serving in the Hawaii National Guard at the time.
I'm still serving the U.S. Army Reserve now.
But to me, hey, here's an opportunity to speak to millions of people across the country about the people who are nearest and dearest to my heart, my brothers and sisters.
And so the whole thing was, it was quite surreal because I didn't...
I didn't seek it out.
I didn't know.
I didn't know how that machine worked.
But I found myself getting these phone calls from people within the Democratic Party, like, hey, go and speak at this, like...
It was a premier event that most people don't get invitations to.
And a couple of weeks after I was in office, I got a call saying, hey, what would you say if you were asked to serve as vice chair of the DNC? And I was just, literally, my response was like, what does a vice chair of the DNC do?
I don't know nothing about this.
What do you really want from me?
What are you asking of me?
Ultimately said yes, because this is an opportunity to be in a position to make some positive change.
But these kinds of things kept on happening over the, yeah, it was kind of my first year, first couple of years in office.
And you'll appreciate this.
One of the major turning points that started to slow down the fanfare and the headlines.
I remember there was one at the Democratic Convention.
I don't know if it was CNN or MSN. Someone was like, oh, I wonder who's going to play Tulsi Gabbard in a movie.
All this stuff.
I'm like, this is so weird.
But that summer of 2013, my first year in Congress, As you know, one of the main reasons that I ran for Congress was because of the experiences that I'd had on both of my Middle East deployments, where I experienced the cost of war firsthand, serving in a medical unit, and I wanted to be in a position where I could help influence and impact those foreign policy decisions that were directly impacting my brothers and sisters in uniform.
My opportunity to be able to do that would happen so quickly.
But it was August of 2013 that President Obama announced, then President Obama announced, that he was going to seek authorization to use military force from Congress to go and drop some bombs on Syria in what would be kind of the first volley of regime change war there.
And I was on the Foreign Affairs Committee at the time.
August.
Most members of Congress are at home during recess.
And I was home in my district.
And I remember, like it was yesterday, pumping gas at the gas station.
And this woman came up to me.
And I'd never met her before.
Local lady came.
She grabbed my arm and looked at me with this intensity in her eyes, telling me that her son had just come home from Iraq and she had been terrified that he wouldn't come home. telling me that her son had just come home from He was finally home with her and now they wanted to
they wanted to send him back to another war in another country and begged me, please, Tulsi, don't let them take my son from me.
As the next couple of days went on, I would bump into more people like that in the supermarket or just around town who were absolutely terrified.
I went back to Washington.
We held all the committee hearings, open hearings, classified briefings, and I went in with an open mind, saying, give me all of the information.
I want to make sure that I do my due diligence before I take a position or make a decision on this.
And ultimately, Secretary Kerry came in and briefed us the answers to very direct questions that I had, such as, what is our objective?
What is your objective in wanting to go and start another war in another country?
How do you think they will respond?
What will you do next?
What is that second, third, fourth order of effects and consequences that will always happen?
And the question, you know, when I said what is your objective, I believe it was Secretary Kerry or someone from the State Department who said, well, you know, we don't want to deliver a decapitation.
We don't want it to be a pinprick.
We want this to be a punch in the gut and send a message.
And my question was, okay, so a punch in the gut, like, what will you do when they respond?
They said, well, we don't think there will be a response.
If somebody came up and punched you in the gut, would you, like, just not respond?
If they don't respond, they've got some pretty, you know, weaponized, powerful friends.
You don't think they'll respond?
What if they don't respond to us, but they respond by attacking some of our friends who may be in the region?
All of these different kinds of questions, there's like, well, we just don't think they'll do that.
Well, what happens next?
Well, you know, we think this will send a strong message.
And it's the same kind of like political BS talk that means nothing and is so disconnected from the reality of the people on the ground.
Who have to live with those consequences.
And it really surprised me.
And maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, but it surprised me that after so many years of looking back at the massive mistakes of Iraq, that they could be so glib and just saying, oh, we'll just go drop some bombs and send a message and that'll be it.
And I was certainly the first Democrat, maybe the first member of Congress, to come out in opposition to President Obama's request.
And within hours of publishing that op-ed, I got a call from the White House.
And essentially, what they said was, how dare you?
How dare you go against your president?
How dare you go against the president who came from your home state?
Not a moment of the conversation.
There wasn't much of a conversation, first of all.
But they were not interested at all in the reason for my opposition, which I stated pretty clearly in the op-ed how well thought out this decision was.
It was not made haphazardly.
They weren't interested in my experience that I brought that helped inform my decision of having deployed twice to the Middle East before.
And it told me a lot about them that they were more concerned with and they cared more about like being a good member of the team and go team Obama and go team Democrats than they were concerned about the actual consequences of the very serious request that he was saying he would come to Congress with.
It sent a strong message to them as well.
That I wasn't the person that they thought I was going to be.
And someone who could be puppeteered, who could be bullied into just going along with the boss or whatever they had in mind, that was kind of the beginning of their realization that, okay, this one thinks for herself and she's not afraid to take a stand.
Like, I remember, and I think you'll get a kick out of this, being invited to the White House Correspondents' Dinner my first year in Congress.
I had guys who had been in Congress coming up to me saying, gosh, Tulsi, how come you got invited?
I've been here for four terms, eight years, and I still haven't gotten invited to that.
And I was like, do you want to go?
I really don't like going to these kind of things.
I hate these big kind of parties and social things.
Like, you can have my seat.
But it was that kind of thing where, oh, go to this embassy for this fancy party.
Like, all this stuff that, unfortunately, too many members of Congress find very, very appealing and get some kind of, I don't know.
I don't want to use the word fulfillment because it's not fulfilling.
But I guess it...
It's what they want.
And I didn't want any of that.
So the things that they were putting before me were not attractive to me at all.
And it all kind of definitely came crashing down in 2016 when I took a step that...
To go after Hillary Clinton when she was running for president in the Democratic primary.
I was vice chair of the DNC and I saw that the mainstream media, they were all saying she was the most qualified person ever to run for president and listing out all of the titles that she has held, but not a single one of them was questioning or holding her to account for her record on foreign policy or challenging her on what kind of commander-in-chief.
Because the rules said that as officers of the DNC, you can't take sides in a partisan primary.
The DNC itself under Debbie Wasserman clearly was in every way tilting the scales for Hillary Clinton.
But I resigned as vice chair of the DNC and endorsed Bernie Sanders around this single issue of foreign policy.
Specifically because while I disagreed with Bernie on a bunch of things, Was certainly more of a non-interventionist than the warmonger that Hillary Clinton is.
And I knew that would provide me with a platform to have a voice and actually speak the truth to the American people about her record and how dangerous she would be if she were ever our president and how personal this was for me because the cost is real.
These were many conversations, walking to and from votes with different people who were pulling me aside and offering their condolences, their political condolences to me.
Because I had made a decision that they said would be equal to the death of my political future.
A lot of critical midterm elections happening that year, increasingly over time.
And it wasn't one specific thing that caused me to make this decision, but it was increasingly over time.
A couple of things.
Obviously, the radical change that the Democratic Party leadership went through in really truly become a woke, warmongering party of the elite.
But also it was...
It was a recognition that I had done all I could to try to change the party from within.
I tried as vice chair of the DNC. I tried as a candidate running for president in 2020 in the Democratic primary.
And the things that I was talking about, about bringing the party back to its roots, bringing the party back to being the party of the people and the party of freedom, the party of peace and security.
It not only fell on deaf ears, I was booed by the party elite for having the audacity to push for these sorts of things.
And it, you know, it's such a crazy, crazy accusation to make.
Obviously completely baseless.
The media never asked Hillary Clinton for evidence of this traitorous, treasonous act that she's accusing me of as a sitting member of Congress and as a soldier wearing our country's uniform.
And one that would not only be grounds for them to remove my security clearance, but it would be grounds for discharge and it would be grounds for enforcement under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
If you're actually working for a foreign power as a military officer, you can be executed for it.
So it's not a small thing to say.
Rather than just saying, you know, Tulsi Gabbard's an idiot or I disagree with her or whatever, they went right to that, the heaviest thing you could ever say about somebody, about an American.
It was foreign policy related and it was related to the fact that I had the audacity to go against them.
To challenge the elite of the Democratic Party, which is Hillary Clinton, and it's Barack Obama, and it's the people who surround them in the military-industrial complex, in the media-industrial complex, those who are pushing.
And it's not limited to the Democratic Party, of course.
Mitt Romney also called me a treasonous person who is a Russian asset or something along those lines.
So, you know, You know, they are all part of this permanent Washington elite who cannot allow for those who challenge them to go unscathed because their whole existence they are all part of this permanent Washington elite who cannot allow for those It's based around power and where they get their power from.
And that's what's so offensive about them and what they're advocating for is they treat our military...
It's like...
And actually, I don't want to say they forget.
Because they're not stupid.
They really don't care about the men and women who make up our military and who live and die by the consequences of their actions, whether they're holding office or not.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are not in office right now, but they still continue to wield immense power in influencing the decisions that are being made.
It's not a leap of imagination to know that that's true when you look at the people who are in Joe Biden's administration.
They are the people who were the right hands for the Obama administration, for President Obama, and for Hillary Clinton.
When Hillary Clinton said herself the other day, she said, oh yeah, I talk to the White House every day.
So it is no shock or surprise who the influences are behind the policies that are coming out of this White House that many people say is the most radical and woke White House that our country has ever seen.
But on the other hand, it is a lot easier and much more pleasant to be loved than it is to be hated.
I think it's just true.
And so as you became really hated by the leadership of the Democratic Party, and they weren't hiding it at all, did you ever think, like, maybe it's just easier to kind of pretend bombing Syria is a good idea?
And I think you're the only famous person I've ever met who flies coach.
And you're certainly the only very, very well-known member of Congress and former presidential candidate I've ever met in my entire life who didn't cash in personally.
There's nothing to talk about because they assume that every member of Congress, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, the day you walk out, you get your payday.
But we did buy a house in a neighborhood that was affordable in D.C. And we found out the first week that we were there that we tried to order takeout from someone.
Anyway, there was a question that a reporter asked me a couple of years, I forget, two or three years after I'd been in Congress.
They're like, okay, you've been here a while now.
Do you feel like you fit in?
And it was a surprising question to me.
And I said, no, I don't ever want to fit in here.
This is not my home.
I'm grateful to get out of here as quickly as possible, as soon as votes are done, as often as possible, get back to my community in Hawaii or get out and visit other communities in the country and remain very closely connected to the people who I'm there to serve.
And we've talked about this before.
There are far too many politicians from both parties who spend their time at social hours and happy hours with lobbyists than they do actually spend time at home.
And when you watch that, and I'm so glad for the transparency that they're providing to people in real time almost, but it's no wonder why she and others, Democrats and Republicans, who could very easily pass the legislation that says no member of Congress or the Senate or their spouse or their senior staff should be allowed to trade in stocks.
Period.
Full stop.
It's such an obvious way to stop even the perception, if you want to claim innocence or whatever.
There should be no perception that our elected leaders are profiting off of the knowledge that they have as policymakers that directly impact industry and businesses.
That's a no-brainer to me.
I introduced legislation when I was in Congress to do that.
You know, it is that the last five years that it became more and more clear to me how many people, especially in the Democratic Party, in Washington specifically, how little they think of the Constitution.
You know, I think the last five years especially are pretty pivotal because you look at what happened with COVID, for example, as a starting point of how people, both at the federal level, at the state level, county level, and a lot of places, when given just a little bit of power, man, they took advantage of that and continued to abuse that power in a way that just didn't make sense.
It didn't make sense.
You know, when they're like, okay, well, for public safety, everybody's got to stay indoors and you can't go to church and you can't even worship, you know, out like in Hawaii on the beach.
You can't have like an outdoor service.
But if you're going to go and do a Black Lives Matter march.
That actually rises above any public health and safety concerns that we talked about, and so that's okay.
The politically motivated decisions that were being made in the midst of what they were calling this, you know, the greatest health epidemic of our time, I think exposed pretty deeply to a lot of people that it was really all just about power and how little they were concerned about things like freedom and civil liberties and the ability for us to make our own choices for ourselves.
And then it just continued to escalate more and more with the Biden-Harris administration in how they were undermining the rule of law, continuing to this day, and how willing they were to both directly and indirectly censor, blacklist and smear everyday Americans.
Across the country, if you happen to challenge them, whether it be on COVID or it be on things like it.
And I think this was the thing that caused Mitt Romney to call me a treasonous liar was saying, hey, there are U.S.-funded, DOD-funded biolabs in Ukraine that should be secured because there's a war going on over there.
And the last thing we or the world needs...
Is anything going on in those bio labs being unleashed in a way that could pose a threat to people?
And it was on the DoD website talking about their long history of funding these biolabs, not only in Ukraine, but in many other countries around the world.
He is part of that neocon, neolib establishment in Washington.
That poses a direct threat to our republic, to our democracy, and to our freedom.
And that really is at the heart of why I chose to leave the Democratic Party.
Seeing people, and yep, got it, he's a Republican, but he took the same position as Hillary Clinton and many other Democrats who don't care about our country.
That's what it comes down to.
They don't care about our country.
I challenged Mitt Romney.
I sent him a legal letter challenging him on his accusation for the very reason that we talked about.
As a uniformed officer serving in the United States Army, his accusation as a U.S. Senator is a crime punishable by death.
So if you're going to make that accusation as he did on what was then known as Twitter, you better freaking back it up.
I think there's a huge, and I think this will be the topic of the next book that I'll write, is as we talk about the military-industrial complex, there is a corporate-industrial complex that exists as well.
I'm all about capitalism.
But when you look at the monopolies, that's not capitalism at all.
You look at how many small businesses are suffering in this country because of overregulation by government and because they can't afford to pay millions, tens of millions of dollars to have lobbyists going and scratching the back of politicians so that they can create the loopholes that allow their business to thrive at the cost of the mass majority tens of millions of dollars to have lobbyists going and scratching the back of politicians so that they can create the loopholes True competition.
Capitalism is all about.
True competition in our country.
And that's how when you look at people like Mitt Romney and you see how they have done so well, that's the reason why.
I am so grateful and really, truly feel like it is a privilege to be able to serve our country in uniform.
April makes 21 years for me.
I'm grateful to serve as a battalion commander currently where I have the opportunity to work with incredible Americans who come from all over the country and who deeply love our country.
It's not a small sacrifice to make, both for those who are serving as active duty service members as well as those who serve in the reserve component.
There's a reason why we do it, and it stems from a deep love for our country.
Make such an accusation.
Yeah, it hits close to home, not only for me, but the real issue with that and why I challenged him on it is because when people like Mitt Romney make that kind of accusation, when people like Hillary Clinton call me a traitor and a Russian asset or a puppet of Putin, this is not about me.
It's about the message that they're sending to every serviceman and woman in this country and every American, that if you dare to challenge us, we will come at you with all we have.
It's always the least American people who make the claim that you're not American enough.
Yeah.
So, but do you ever think, so again, this is demonstrable if anyone who's made it to this point in the conversation can decide, you know, do I agree or disagree with Chelsea Gabbard?
That's fine.
But I don't think any fair person could say you're in this for the money or the accolades, just the opposite.
You're continuing to get deployed and you're not making any money doing that.
You're doing it anyway.
It's quite a time commitment.
Do you ever think like maybe politics is not the business for me because I'm just, I believe what I believe and I'm kind of never going to sell it out.
I have never thought of quote-unquote politics as a career at all, ever.
And so the different times in my life where I have held public office, it's never been, well, this is what I'm going to do for the next few decades and then I'll retire.
I did not run for re-election when I was serving in the State House because I decided to volunteer and deploy to Iraq with my brothers and sisters in the Hawaii National Guard at the time.
I did not run for Congress again in re-election in 2020 because I felt like I could...
The climate of the House of Representatives had gotten to that point where I felt like I had maximized the impact that I could make there and I could...
I could be of more influence at that time on the outside, kind of holding their feet to the fire and being able to share exactly what I am now with the American people, the truth about what's going on in Washington and the truth about these politicians who claim to care for you, but show through their actions that they don't more and more brazenly.
And this is this is really, you know, you'd ask the question about what happened over the last five years.
The change really, where there has been a change, it has come from a much deeper appreciation, frankly, of our Constitution and the role that our leaders must have in truly upholding the Constitution.
It's obviously something I've swore an oath to twice in my life and I care very deeply for.
To see how those in power were so brazenly and continue to so brazenly abuse their power and weaponize our law enforcement, the national security state, all of these different tools that are at their disposal increasingly pushing us towards a place where our country is being led by a tyrannical government.
That's where going and actually looking again at our founding documents, looking at the Declaration of Independence, looking at the Federalist Papers, where we are reminded over and over and over again about how our nation's founders continued to say it's we the people.
That our government does not exist without the consent of the governed.
And this is the message I'm carrying everywhere across the country, is that if you are not happy with the direction that our country is headed, and I think that most people are not happy with it, this changes only when we take action.
Only when we take action.
There's no knight in shining armor that's coming to save the country.
Our founders specifically We've built our country on the foundation of we the people taking ownership and responsibility for the kind of leadership that we want and the kind of future that we want.
And right now, I am sounding the alarm and encouraging everyone to sound the alarm.
The name of my book is For Love of Country, Leave the Democrat Party Behind, specifically and very directly pointing to those who pose the greatest threat to our democracy, to our freedom.
And my concern, my grave concern is that in this next election, if President Biden or Harris or whoever they may put up, if it's not President Biden, if they are allowed to remain in power, then we will get to a place where the country that I love, that you love, that so many of us love and appreciate will become unrecognizable.
And to a place where the freedoms that we are already starting to lose, that we won't be able to get them back.
And I have no doubt that that will only escalate dramatically because every time...
They could win the election by...
Theoretically, one vote.
And they will run around the country and say, well, the American people have given us a mandate to continue the great work we are doing for this country.
Well, the great work that they see they are doing for this country is actually for themselves.
And they are completely undermining the fabric that makes this country what it is.
As we are seeing now, they are completely willing to use the Department of Justice and law enforcement to serve their own political means.
So no, it wouldn't surprise me at all.
They are showing that even without evidence, without...
This is what they've been doing against Trump since he first ran for office in 2016, launching years-long investigations into him, this whole Russia collusion thing, things that were, you know, proven through those investigations.
Like, no, there was nothing here.
And there's been no accountability for them whatsoever, which goes back to...
Just emphasizing how critical it is.
If you are a person who cares about freedom, who cares about our country, who cares about being able to make your own decisions as parents about what kind of education you want for your child, if you care about having a safe community for your child to live in, if you care about having a secure country with borders, the Democratic Party...
I'd be honored to serve our country in that way or in other ways.
And to be in a position to help President Trump, if he is reelected, to actually address these challenges, to help execute those policies that will bring back a secure border.
Breathe new life into our economy and start to get this radical inflation out of control.
On that note, I was in a conversation the other day with two different groups of people.
One was with a very, very wealthy couple.
And they were saying, well, gosh, you know, and they're not fans of President Biden either, but like, you know, the economy is not actually that bad.
The stock market's doing all right.
And, you know, it's not really as bad as a lot of people are saying it is.
And then the next conversation was with people who are not part of that wealthy class who were talking about, you know, a loaf of bread is three times more expensive today than it was six months ago.
Basic necessities, electricity, food, medicine, all of the things that people need just to live and to try to live in a healthy way are far more expensive, but they're not making a whole lot more.
The dollar is not going nearly as far as it needs to in order to be able to afford this inflation.
And so I just mention that because This disconnect still continues between the elite in Washington and the reality that they live in versus the reality that the rest of us live in in this country.
And President Trump recognizes that.
I'd love to be in a position to help secure our country and to get us off this path towards World War III and nuclear war that...
The Democrat elite and President Biden's policies have us on right now.
I saw that clip and I laughed when I saw it and then I was concerned because I saw the people sitting around the table in one of those panels and they all had serious looks on their faces as they were nodding along with this woman saying this as though, first of all, whatever her spiritual beliefs are or the lack thereof, that's her business.
But have you read the Declaration of Independence?
Ever?
Certainly not recently, because again, whatever your own personal thoughts may be, the Declaration of Independence is not, they don't mince words.
That our God-given rights are inalienable, and they do come from our Creator.
And again, recognizing that as the basis for our founding documents, It is a very powerful message to every person in politics or in power that you don't get to try to take away those rights.
God gives us those rights.
Only God can take them away.
And this God complex that so many of our politicians have is at the heart of the problem.
They're so eager to put themselves in a position of power.
They believe that they have the power to say what is true and what is not true.
That something as undeniable as the fact that I am a woman and you're a man is something that they have now declared to be a fungible label, I suppose.
That you can just say, you know, I believe I'm a man, so I'm a man.
And let it be so.
It would be laughable if the consequences weren't so dangerous.
To have people in power who don't recognize that our rights and freedoms come from God and you follow that track and where does it lead is they really do believe that they are God or should be God and that they are self-appointing themselves to be in that position of authority and have a lot of tools at their disposal.
To try to enforce that.
And that is what is at the heart of the danger that we face as a country right now.
This is something that transcends party affiliation.
It transcends how you may like or dislike certain candidates.
This is the fact, and it's the reality that we have to confront ourselves with.
If we care about peace, if we care about freedom, if we care about security, if we care about our country and our future, the choice is very clear.
In this election and what we must do in leaving the Democrat Party behind.
