Tulsi Gabbard, the Democratic National Liaison Director for the 2020 Democratic National Committee, joins us to speak at the University of Arizona's Center for American Progress to discuss her campaign for President in 2020. She also talks about why she's running for President and what it means to be a conservative in a country that's full of hate and division, and how she's fighting for freedom on campuses across the country to defeat the forces that want to destroy our country. Thank you, Tulsi, for coming on The Charlie Kirk Show and for being a voice for common sense and the truth and freedom for all Americans. You're not going to get much better than that in 2020 than that! Tweet me if you have any thoughts on this episode or have any suggestions on how we can improve the show!

00:02:01.000I've done good things and I've done bad things.
00:02:04.000And because of my life experiences, I have a very bad tendency to catastrophize a lot about a lot of things, but more specifically our future.
00:02:13.000And I look on social media and everywhere I go, and admittedly fake news, but I go everywhere, I look everywhere, and I see a lot of hatred and a lot of division going on from mostly the left, admittedly, but overall it's just a lot of hatred and division going on.
00:02:28.000And so the question I really want to ask you both is, as men and women of America, as religious people, and as political figures, what inspires you?
00:02:43.000What inspires you to keep on going and to keep on being optimistic in a country that seems to be so full of hate and political division right now?
00:02:56.000First of all, I find my hope in God and God's unconditional love for every single one of us.
00:03:06.000So no matter how dark the days may seem, and sometimes there are very dark days, and we face dark times in our future if we don't take action now and in this election, But even in those darkest of times where I find strength,
00:03:24.000where I find peace, and where I find courage to be a voice for common sense and the truth and freedom for all Americans, it comes from knowing that God's love is eternal and that he will give me that clarity and strength to do the right thing for the right reasons.
00:04:22.000That this is now bigger than whether Charlie's a conservative or Tulsi was co-chair of the DNC. This is about America and defeating the forces that want to destroy our country.
00:05:02.000Of like foreign involvement, US foreign involvement in foreign countries a little contentious with conservatives right now.
00:05:07.000How would you balance supporting our allies and supporting even if it unfortunately means we have to send troops in with how would you balance that with also working on our internal supporting internal our own people?
00:05:24.000I think this is actually a better question for Tulsi, if that's okay.
00:05:26.000This is one of her passion topics, and Tulsi served and serves in our military, and so Tulsi, you want to take that?
00:05:52.000Which is both a sad and disastrous state of affairs that in and of itself disqualifies her to be our commander in chief.
00:06:01.000But I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who lost both of his legs in combat.
00:06:07.000And all of us who raise our hands and volunteer to serve in our military are willing to lay our lives down to ensure the safety, security and freedom of the American people.
00:06:17.000What we do not sign up for is politicians who care more about feeding the military industrial complex and the war machine than they do about our lives, but the safety and security of the American people's lives.
00:06:32.000What we need are leaders, and this is why I've endorsed President Trump in this election, who will always make those decisions in balancing.
00:07:00.000And that includes our national security needs.
00:07:03.000That includes our liberty and our freedom, which is often on the line when we are in a state of war.
00:07:08.000The war machine takes advantage of that to try to take away more of our freedom.
00:07:12.000And it has to do with our economic well-being as well.
00:07:15.000If we have a president, commander-in-chief who makes every decision about what's in the best interest of the American people, we won't go wrong.
00:07:32.000Yes, please follow up with Tulsi, but that's my position in one sentence.
00:07:35.000So the reason I ask that is a little personal because I'm from Japan.
00:07:39.000And obviously, China has been increasingly aggressive.
00:07:42.000And why a lot of Japanese people are reluctant to fully support Trump is they're afraid that you'll sort of throw us under the bus if China drags Japan into a war.
00:08:04.000And the opportunity is there with the right kind of leadership, and this is a huge point of difference between President Trump and Kamala Harris.
00:08:12.000Kamala Harris has criticized President Trump for doing what we should expect our leaders to do, Which is to engage in direct diplomacy, whether it be with dictators or adversaries, opposition as well as friends and partners, because that is how you prevent war.
00:08:32.000But that's not just through the buildup of military hardware and capability.
00:08:35.000That's through engaging in the kind of leadership that we've seen in President John F. Kennedy, that we've seen in President Ronald Reagan, and that we saw in President Trump's first administration.
00:09:11.000But I think you'll agree this reason trumps them all.

00:10:45.000And how is it possible that I have to go back to my parents in Mexico and try to look for a job there when I've been looking for months here in the United States as a citizen to fight for my rights to get a job and get an income here just so my parents can come back in the right way.
00:11:04.000And also, my family is fully Democrat.
00:11:07.000I am here opening up finally if they see me over there.
00:11:19.000I love your thoughts on this, Tulsi, but I'll say this.
00:11:22.000It is reprehensible and wrong that the people that come here the right way are punished and the people that come here the wrong way are rewarded.
00:12:27.000Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and my name is Christopher.
00:12:30.000I had a lot of questions, a lot of debates in the crowd today, but my main question would be, Sorry, would be how do we start having conversations in the workplace without infringing on the rules of work, but still be able to make it friendly?
00:12:46.000Because I used to work at a job where I would bring up conversations about border and immigration and abortion and stuff, and I would make people aware.
00:12:57.000I would give them factual news information, but then they all turned on me all of a sudden one day.
00:13:02.000I didn't understand how you could go from smiling in your face to stabbing you in the back the next day.
00:13:09.000How do we cultivate a more friendly atmosphere in our workforce where we're mostly at the majority of our life?
00:13:19.000I mean, the First Amendment is the First Amendment.
00:13:21.000I think when you're having these conversations, what I have found, even when I meet with people who come into the conversation ready for a fight, when you listen first and if they are communicating in good faith, then you can have a true and real conversation that is based on respect.
00:13:39.000You can respect where someone's coming from even if you disagree with them.
00:15:21.00050 Intel officials, current and former, signed a letter that was used to censor on social media the fact that there is a laptop owned by Hunter Biden that showed very suspicious and criminal activity by both Hunter and Joe Biden.
00:15:34.000According to the Media Research Center, one out of four voters in swing states would have changed their vote if they would have known about the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:15:41.000That's an utter ridiculous statement to make.
00:16:34.000No, because of the Twitter file saying it's Elon Musk, we now know the FBI told Twitter to say you are not allowed to mention a hundred-bind laptop.
00:16:52.000Yoel Roth was the head of security, trust and safety for Twitter that had a standing, what's called a standing room meeting every Tuesday with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in San Francisco where they met about Russian threats to American interference of elections and they said this laptop is not allowed to be discussed on your platform.
00:17:11.000People made their decisions differently in 2020, not knowing the full picture that this laptop existed, and that was the October surprise.
00:17:19.000So, you would agree that that's not a fair election.
00:17:22.000You think the laptop would have flipped the election for it?
00:17:24.000Well, we're talking about 42,000 votes in three states, and I already cited a study that one in four swing voters would have changed their...
00:17:35.000I just said by the independent, nonpartisan media research center, where they said one out of four voters would have changed their opinion.
00:17:43.000So I just want to make sure we're clear, though.
00:17:45.000You agree our government should not interfere with our elections.
00:17:48.000Well, they have to regulate them by nature.
00:17:58.000So should the federal government be able to restrict our speech during elections?
00:18:02.000Well, when you have what happened in 2016 where Russian disinformation spreads all over Facebook and other platforms, then you have- That's not a lie!

00:22:11.000Don't change your dog's food, and you don't have to.
00:22:20.000you you you So I know that you talk a lot about serving the American people.
00:22:26.000You were talking earlier about no more money for Ukraine until we secure our borders, until we have – I know I've seen earlier on Instagram and stuff, you talk about having good jobs for Americans, having good opportunities for Americans.
00:22:41.000And as far as the Ukraine situation, Senator McConnell had talked about – I know – Your good friend Bobby Kennedy talks about this a lot, about how it's really sort of a money laundering scheme, as he put it, for military industrial complex.
00:23:04.000They impose loans on Ukraine, for example, and a lot of that money is really going to, as McConnell said, going to the military industrial complex.
00:23:14.000And they – as far as these loan conditions that they impose, they call them loans, but they're not getting paid back.
00:23:22.000So really we're giving tax money to Americans – or tax money from Americans to other countries.
00:23:28.000So – and as you've talked about before, serving the American people is extremely important to you.
00:23:34.000So what I would say as far as serving the American people versus serving Ukraine, for example, I would say American people is probably above that, right?
00:23:43.000Even if there is a threat from Russia or from, you know, influence from Russia that we need to spread democracy, support democracy, those kind of things.
00:23:55.000But the other thing that you've talked about before...
00:23:59.000The other thing that you've talked about before is, well, why doesn't that, that I don't really hear you talk about a lot, how does that not apply to Israel that we've been giving tons more money than Ukraine?
00:24:10.000We literally just answered this question, like the guy before you, yeah.
00:24:14.000And I would say, you know, what I would be concerned about is people like Candace Owens get ostracized from the right for criticizing Israel in some ways, in ways that a lot of people would criticize, get lumped in with people like Nick Fuentes and stuff like that.
00:24:41.000In such a polarized political environment, it feels like a real conversation has taken a backseat to virtue signaling and winning the argument.
00:24:49.000How do you think we can bring the focus back to meaningful debates where both sides listen and engage respectfully, even when they disagree?
00:24:58.000Tulsi, I'd love to have you answer this because you dealt with the lack of the culture of freedom of speech on the left.
00:25:51.000I never used the word climate change at all, and we found common ground about these things that we uniquely cared about me growing up in Hawaii and him growing up in Iowa.
00:26:01.000When we are willing to listen and engage in good faith, we can find those moments of common ground that will allow us to have those meaningful conversations around the things that are most important to all of us.
00:26:35.000So I just I watched the Ovan last night news podcast with with Bernie.
00:26:42.000And he, for the first portion, went over healthcare reformation in our country, with some comparative analysis to other countries that are in the same bracket of wealth and GDP. So I just was wondering, maybe because I have a poor understanding of Trump's proposed structure to optimize what I think is a necessary healthcare reformation.
00:27:10.000I'll start with this, and this is where I see huge opportunity.
00:27:13.000One of the things I'm excited about with President Trump winning is because of the people that he's chosen to surround himself with.
00:27:20.000Number one, as Charlie said, there are no lobbyists for big pharma and big insurance sitting on the transition team to pick who is going to fill his cabinet.
00:27:29.000That's a huge difference from any previous administration from either party.
00:27:34.000You've got Bobby Kennedy who is sitting in position and already starting to choose people who recognize how broken our sick care system is and bring about the deeply, the systemic change that we need to see that will actually put our health and well-being first.
00:27:52.000That's not just about pushing pills on people to make Big Pharma richer, but actually dealing with the root causes of why our country is so sick and how we can improve life for the American people.
00:28:04.000One of the reasons, not the only reason, we spend more per capita on healthcare is that we're actively poisoning our kids in what we put in their cereal, in their food, and the corporations are poisoning us.
00:28:16.000Donald Trump putting Bobby Kennedy into the administration and on the transition team will be one of the greatest steps forward in protecting American health.
00:28:24.000For example, in Japan, 3% of kids at age 15 are chronically obese or overweight.
00:29:06.000You need to fix the literature on how we actually publish studies, blow up the food pyramid, and make the lobbyists for Kellogg's and Nestle not have a back door into the White House.
00:30:29.000They are a D1 team forfeiting a game because they refuse to play against San Jose State that has a biological male on their team.
00:30:37.000The courage these women are demonstrating are an inspiration and we look forward to many more of these teams taking a stand even at their own peril, even against their own university leadership and standing up and doing what's right.
00:30:53.000It's very important that people of faith view the election the way you did.
00:30:56.000It is a lesser of two evils always, but there is one that is better, and that one that is better fit towards our worldview, and that is Donald Trump.
00:31:09.000If you ever had a doubt that there's a war on the unborn, you now know beyond a doubt that is the case.
00:31:13.000It'd be easy to give up, but you know I'll never give up on giving the truth to girls and women who the other side want to choose death for their baby.
00:31:19.000I'm standing for life no matter what the other side says, and we're going to save more babies than ever before to show them that truth will win out.
00:31:25.000It can only be shared with girls and women who will make the right choice.
00:31:29.000Preborn provides free ultrasounds to girls and women.
00:31:31.000It's the truth that they deserve, and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life.

00:32:15.000I've noticed that every time the topic of women's rights or female issues is brought up by politicians, everyone knows the conversation will be centered around abortion rights.
00:32:24.000It seems we have lost contact with the fact that women's issues cover a multitude of issues.
00:32:31.000As a daughter of Christ, woman, and believer in pro-life, of course I have a strong conviction on the matter.
00:32:36.000However, I would like to know why we have allowed this conversation to be doctored towards one issue, and also how to navigate this conversation back to other issues regarding women.
00:32:47.000I think the mainstream propaganda media has a lot to do with why they present women's issues around that single issue.
00:32:54.000The Democrat Party leadership does the very same thing.
00:32:58.000To me, I'm personally offended by it, because as a woman, there are a lot of different issues that I'm very concerned about, and I know that a lot of women across the country are.
00:33:07.000How is it that Kamala Harris and Democrats claim to be the champion of women And yet they are silent when women are losing the ability to play fairly in sports against other women.
00:33:20.000How is it that they are silent when young children are being mutilated because of the trans ideology and so-called gender affirming care?
00:34:06.000There are tens of thousands of young girls that are sex trafficked on the southern border.
00:34:11.000And it is one of the great moral crimes in the history of our country.
00:34:15.000There are 320,000 missing kids that we know of under Kamala Harris.
00:34:20.000And I want every independent and swing voter to hear that.
00:34:23.000You might hate Donald Trump, but you should hate the fact that there are 320,000 missing kids more than however much you hate Donald Trump.
00:34:33.000They could be a sex slaves, they could be labor slaves, or just generally missing.
00:34:37.000For those of you that know what's happening on the border, every day there are these poor 12 and 13 year old girls that are trafficked by the cartels.
00:34:44.000Someone says that it's their father and it's not their father.
00:34:47.000Kamala Harris made a decision to get rid of DNA testing on the border.
00:34:51.000It takes 90 seconds to do DNA testing.
00:34:53.000DNA testing, swab, swab, put it in a machine, yes or no affirmative match of whether or not there's a biological relation.
00:35:01.000They decided to get rid of it because they didn't like the optics of a lot of people waiting on the border.
00:35:04.000So what happens when you get rid of DNA testing?
00:35:07.000That means anybody can claim to be the 12-year-old's father and bring her to the interior of the United States, and God knows where she is right now.
00:35:13.000We have to all agree this is bigger than politics.
00:35:16.000This is a moral failing of our country, and it must end immediately.
