Tulsi Gabbard has been appointed as the new Director of National Intelligence by President Trump. She is a combat veteran who served in the Marine Corps, the Navy SEALs, the Air Force, the Marines, the National Guard, and the Intelligence Agency. She has been a member of the House Armed Services Committee and served as the Vice President's Chief of Staff under President George H.W. Bush. Her name was chosen because of her hawkish hawkish views on Afghanistan and support for the anti-Russia campaign by Hillary Clinton and her husband, former Vice President Joe Biden. Her appointment is a big victory for the MAGA movement and a big win for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, which is in desperate need of a foil to Kamala Harris, who is running for D.C. in the primary election against Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-D.C.) and is running a campaign to unify the country behind her and defeat her in the Democratic primary. She is the first woman to serve as the nominee for the position, and she is a fierce opponent of warmongering warmongers like Hillary Clinton, who has been running against President Trump and her campaign to take on the Democratic challenger. This is a victory lap for the far-left and a victory by the far right, who are desperate to keep their grip on power and keep the party on the status quo and keep America on the same old ways they have been running since 9/hypotheticals for decades.

00:01:37.000That was a really fun dinner and we'll just leave it at that.
00:01:41.000We want to make sure that the warmongers and the neoconservatives Remain where they belong, which is in the losing campaign of Kamala Harris.
00:01:49.000David, I want to take a victory lap with you first.
00:01:51.000How big is the Tulsi Gabbard appointment for Director of National Intelligence?
00:01:58.000It's extremely important for the country and it's extremely important for our movement.
00:02:02.000If I had to identify one risk to the MAGA movement over the next four years, it would be that somehow the deep state or the swamp or the Washington blob maneuvers President Trump into Another forever war, a war that we don't need.
00:02:17.000And that war would not only be very damaging to the country, but it would fracture our base and it could destroy the MAGA movement and derail his domestic priorities.
00:02:27.000So, you know, an unnecessary war is the last thing we need.
00:02:30.000And recall that it was bad intelligence that got us into the Iraq war in the first place.
00:02:35.000Remember that it was the CIA director, George Tenet, who told President George W. Bush That it was a slam dunk case that Saddam Hussein had WND programs.
00:02:45.000And it was on that basis that the United States got into its most pointless and destructive forever war.
00:02:51.000So it's so important that the intelligence that is given to the president is correct.
00:02:55.000And I can't think of a better person to be in charge of that than Tulsi, because she has worn the uniform.
00:03:26.000I mean, it is a demonstrably false slur.
00:03:29.000It is the same as calling somebody a racist or a bigot.
00:03:32.000It's the national security equivalent of calling somebody a racist, is calling somebody a Russian asset.
00:03:38.000In politics, they'll say you are a racist.
00:03:41.000If you try to get into the national security space, you're a Russian asset.
00:03:46.000That slur perfectly shows why we need a teardown.
00:03:50.000David, even on the most generous reading, where the heck does this come from with Tulsi?
00:03:54.000Do they call her a Russian asset because she dares to critique the international rules-based neoliberal order that has been a failure the last 30 years?
00:04:03.000Well, it comes from the exact same source that the exact same smear came from about President Trump.
00:04:08.000Remember, they said that he was an agent of Vladimir Putin for years.
00:04:12.000I mean, this was the whole Russiagate hoax.
00:04:13.000Where did the Russiagate hoax come from?
00:04:15.000It came from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
00:04:17.000Who started this smear that Tulsi was a Russian agent?
00:04:21.000She just asserted it on cable news one day without any evidence.
00:04:25.000And since then, it's just been repeated, again, without any evidence whatsoever.
00:04:29.000I think it's even worse than calling somebody racist, as horrible as that is.
00:04:34.000Because, you know, as bad as it is to engage in racism, that's not actually a crime.
00:04:40.000Whereas being a traitor to your country is actually a crime.
00:04:43.000It's a potential death penalty offense.
00:04:45.000So this is possibly the worst type of smear I think the good news is that the people of the United States have now seen through this type of slander.
00:05:01.000Obviously, they saw through with respect to President Trump.
00:05:04.000And I think President Trump's election shows that the mainstream media, or I should say the legacy media, no longer has any credibility when it makes these types of assertions.
00:05:14.000And in a sense, President Trump has Short-circuited their slander machine.
00:05:35.000You know, every federal employee every year has to sit through insider threat training to recognize people they think might be hazards around classified material.
00:05:46.000And part of that is people who are deeply critical of the United States and its foreign policy, who seem to have a lot of affinity and meetings with I mean, there's all kinds of alarm bells that go off here.
00:06:02.000And this nomination sets them all off.
00:06:17.000That was a very interesting tell, that if you have a difference of opinion on whether or not we send money to Ukraine and we invade Iraq, you're a national security threat.
00:08:25.000Another almost half a billion dollars just a few weeks ago.
00:08:28.000And President Biden is committed to making sure that every dollar we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door between now and January 20th.
00:08:52.000That was his number one priority, and this goes back a decade to when he was Obama's vice president, and he was running Ukraine policy as part of his portfolio, and he greenlit the Maidan coup in 2014, for which he was rewarded when Hunter Biden was put on the board of Burisma.
00:09:09.000In any event, they fast-tracked This idea of NATO expansion to Ukraine in his first year in office, 2021, even though the Russians said that was an absolute red line.
00:09:18.000That then blew up in their face when Russia invaded Ukraine, and since then they've made funding this Ukraine project their number one priority.
00:09:28.000Again, they're going to shovel every dollar out the door they can before they leave office.
00:09:53.000I know that I ask you this question a lot, David, and we were hanging out.
00:09:56.000My operating thesis is that the war machine is the culmination of statism.
00:10:01.000There is no greater expression of the worship of the state than war.
00:10:06.000It is ultimate authority to take life, give life, destroy things, dominate, monopolize countries, reorganize them as you see fit.
00:10:14.000It is the closest thing to be playing God on the planet.
00:10:18.000What is it about That this particular topic that has wide bipartisan agreement, that if you're critical, we're going to throw you into jail and call you a traitor.
00:10:35.000Well, I think there is something to what you're saying.
00:10:37.000I mean, there is immense power for them in being able to control the fate of millions of people, to control the destiny of all those lives, to be able to snuff them out, potentially.
00:10:48.000I think there is a sick, twisted power in that.
00:10:52.000But look, I think there's also an ideology and a policy objective.
00:10:58.000The bottom line is these people, I guess you can call them globalists, they see no national border to be defended.
00:11:05.000They see only an imperial border to be expanded.
00:11:08.000And Ukraine has been the tip of the spear.
00:11:11.000It is the place they wanted to expand NATO to.
00:11:14.000NATO is the It's basically the central organization that expands the, you could say, the American empire, American influence.
00:11:22.000And so they've been finetically obsessed with that project.
00:11:25.000Now look, I'm not against NATO per se, but in this particular case, the Russians made it abundantly clear that that was a red line for their security interests, and they would go to war to prevent it, and indeed they have.
00:11:37.000And so, you know, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed as a result of that reckless decision.
00:11:43.000And I think that the biggest blunder that the Biden administration made in this regard is that there was a peace deal on the table.
00:11:53.000In the first few weeks of the war, it would have ended the war.
00:11:56.000Ukraine would have kept all of its territory, would not have lost all of its territory.
00:12:00.000Hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved.
00:12:02.000The country would not have been destroyed.
00:12:05.000But what it would have required is for Ukraine simply to remain neutral.
00:12:10.000It was not saying that Russia had to dominate Ukraine.
00:12:13.000What Russia wanted was simply for Ukraine to remain neutral, to not be a member of NATO. That would have ended the war right when it was getting started, would have saved all those lives.
00:12:24.000And the Biden administration vetoed it.
00:12:27.000And regardless of what you think of their actions before that, once they rejected the Istanbul deal, they became the co-owner of this war.
00:12:35.000It wasn't just Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine.
00:12:37.000It was Joe Biden rejecting the peace deal that was available in March and April of 2022.
00:12:44.000That was a fateful and critical error.
00:12:48.000And I think that now all of us who want peace in Ukraine are going to have to work really hard to try and put Humpty Dumpty back together again, so to speak, to try and get back to a peace deal that was so readily available, so on the table just a couple of years ago.
00:13:07.000Are you worried about the future of the US economy?
00:13:09.000With so much uncertainty in the air, it's natural to fret about the security of your retirement savings.
00:13:14.000But there's one asset that stands the test of time, and that is gold.
00:13:17.000For centuries, gold has been a hedge against market volatility and economic instability.

00:13:54.000Noble Gold Investments will help you with up to 10 1-ounce silver Trump coins or 10-ounce silver American flag bar if you open a qualified account.
00:15:25.000It's acting as a brake pedal on the economy.
00:15:27.000So I think the point of Doge is let's get the federal budget on a more sustainable trajectory and at the same time make America more competitive and increase economic growth.
00:15:40.000And by the way, we're very lucky to have two really business geniuses, Elon and Vivek, contributing their time to do this.
00:15:49.000They're doing this for free because they love the country.
00:15:51.000They've both been extremely successful in business.
00:15:54.000Elon, obviously, is the most successful entrepreneur maybe of all time, but certainly of our generation.
00:16:02.000And Vivek was also very successful in business before getting into politics.
00:16:07.000I think for these two real heavyweights, I mean, intellectual giants to devote their time to doing this, and they are very serious about it, it's really a wonderful thing for the country.
00:18:55.000The people who voted against Merrick Garland are the ones that are saying they will vote for Matt Gaetz.
00:19:00.000So it's kind of this overlaying thing.
00:19:03.000The correlation is there's a direct correlation between people who supported Merrick Garland that are Senate Republicans that are against Matt Gaetz and people that didn't support Merrick Garland and that are in favor of Matt Gaetz.
00:19:26.000Everybody, no institution works harder to give young people the best education in America than my favorite college, Hillsdale College.
00:19:32.000For 180 years now, Hillsdale's mission has been to develop the minds and improve the hearts of its students.
00:19:37.000And today, in just 30 seconds, you can learn what that means by watching a short video at charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:19:44.000Since 1844, Hillsdale is focused on learning, character, and faith in providing just the kind of education needed to preserve liberty.
00:19:50.000And they extend their mission nationwide through outreach efforts like their free digest of liberty in primus.
00:19:56.000Too many colleges and universities today indoctrinate their students to hate America.
00:20:00.000At Hillsdale, students learn how America became the freest and most prosperous nation in history.
00:20:06.000And at a time when so many college campuses are rent with division, Hillsdale students sign an honor code promising to respect the rights of others and rise to self-government.
00:20:14.000Take some time to learn more about what makes Hillsdale College unique at charlieforhillsdale.com, America's greatest college.
00:22:32.000If you can go ahead and bring up Sean's tweet, please.
00:22:35.000You said, with Gates having resigned his seat in the House, if the Senate tries to reject his AG confirmation, DeSantis can always appoint Gates to fill Rubio's Senate seat.
00:22:48.000Would be interesting to see senators have to choose between Gates as AG or as their colleague for years to come.
00:23:16.000And what you learn in chess is you need to learn to evaluate the board and find the best options for yourself, the best options for your opponent, and then play to the best option of the opponent.
00:23:26.000And so I look at the board here and I see a lot of options.
00:23:30.000Obviously, I think the Senate should confirm Gates, notwithstanding all the nonsense they're going to throw at him or the fake FBI attempt to entrap him and extort his family with insane allegations.
00:23:43.000If not, if they don't want to do that, I think they should recess appoint him, have both houses go into recess and do appointments that way.
00:23:51.000And if that doesn't work, I think it would be a great idea to make clear to senators, you're not getting out of this easy.
00:24:02.000But I think it's one of those things that in politics, you always need to have something in your back pocket.
00:24:07.000You always need to have a way to make clear to people that they can do things the easy way and the right way, or they can eventually do what they were supposed to do, and it can be very painful for them.
00:24:20.000And I think this is a great option to highlight that, hey, you may think you're going to get the last laugh voting against Gates, but if you do that, he might end up as your colleague tormenting you for years to come.
00:24:33.000And I think here's the other piece of it.
00:24:37.000These through at a certain order, right?
00:24:39.000So you hold Rubio back, his confirmation back.
00:24:42.000You force up to the front of the line, Gates as AG. And then you basically, you dangle the Rubio option as, because Rubio is going to be confirmed.
00:24:54.000I think nobody's worried about Rubio as Secretary of State.
00:24:57.000So the question then becomes, would you be able to get DeSantis to play ball with this?
00:25:03.000And, you know, I think everybody's feeling very positive in Florida.
00:25:07.000I mean, Trump won the state by 13 points.
00:25:11.000There's a lot of political firepower out of the state of Florida that we can use.
00:25:15.000But, you know, in general, Sean, what is your reaction to the reaction, right?
00:25:22.000You've got everybody losing their minds over Pete Hegseth, which I personally think is a phenomenal choice.
00:25:28.000I know Pete personally He's an absolute patriot, loves this country.
00:25:34.000Tulsi is now a foreign agent and she's friendly with Vladimir Putin.
00:25:51.000Yeah, I can't think of a better endorsement than that idiot hating them.
00:25:54.000I mean, he's a disaster, ruined everything he touched, and so if he doesn't like people, I think that just tells anyone with a brain they must be great.
00:26:02.000And I will say, I find the reactions fascinating and the freakouts fascinating, because if the people having the freakouts, if these idiots had actually done their jobs, if they had actually protected the Constitution that they claim to love so much, none of this would have been necessary.
00:26:17.000What they did is they allowed an infection to fester throughout Washington, throughout these agencies, for years, if not decades.
00:26:39.000Legal Eagle, who turned up his nose at us saying, hey, DOJ is using the Constitution as toilet paper and they're going to take down the entire republic if somebody doesn't bring them to heel.
00:26:50.000They laughed at us and they scoffed at us.
00:26:52.000And I just want them to understand you're the reason this is happening.
00:26:55.000As much as it hurts, know to your core that it is your fault that if you had done your job, none of this would have been necessary.
00:27:05.000I mean, we have skyrocketing deficits.
00:27:07.000We had a whole political movement that tried to remove Donald Trump from ballots because they didn't like him being the candidate.
00:27:15.000They tried to throw him in prison for 700 years.
00:27:18.000They prosecuted him across multiple state jurisdictions, New York and Fulton County.
00:27:23.000They threw grandmas in prison for J6. They surveilled Catholic churches, and they didn't think there was going to be consequences for Steve Bannon.
00:27:37.000Steve Bannon's now facing another legal challenge in his future.
00:27:45.000We can't even build ships in the military anymore.
00:27:49.000In the Navy, Sean, there is so much rot, corruption, and degradation of the system, of the greatest country in the history of planet Earth.
00:27:58.000And they didn't think that there was going to be a reckoning.
00:28:01.000So all of We've always said the grassroots needs a seat at
00:28:39.000When we started at the Federalist, we started because we are sick and tired of looking at the media landscape and seeing that it seemed to exist to tell the people what power wanted them to hear.
00:28:49.000And we started because we had the simple idea that it's time for the people in power to hear what the people actually want them to hear.
00:28:57.000They need to know what the country wants.
00:28:59.000We're tired of having their agenda shoved down our throats.
00:29:02.000And, man, you want to talk about someone who has done a Herculean effort We're good to go.
00:29:30.000And I think that's what frightens so many people in Washington now.
00:29:33.000There's been a model that they've operated under for years where they get to do what they want and then they just shove it down our throats.
00:30:01.000So if credentials is what you want, you're getting credentials from a corrupt establishment that has lost its way decades ago, first of all.
00:30:10.000But second of all, look at the fruit of your credentialed elite.
00:30:14.000You have run this country into the ground, and the American people, the grassroots is where the honor is.
00:31:20.000He loves dogs and he's on a mission to help as many as he can.
00:31:23.000Dog food is dead food and Rough Green supplements your dog's food with essential vitamins and minerals, omega oils, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and antioxidants.
00:31:50.000Go to ruffgreens.com slash kirk, roughgreens.com slash kirk.
00:31:57.000Sean Davis from The Federalist, I want to play for you a couple clips here that expose, I think, in even more extravagant ways than we've already seen, just how insane the left has become and how Donald Trump has broke all of their brains.
00:32:13.000They're now trying to put a wedge between family members if that family member voted for Donald Trump.
00:32:19.000No more holidays, no more Thanksgiving turkey together where we put things aside and we love one another.
00:32:32.000There is a push, I think just a societal norm, that if somebody is your family, that they are entitled to your time.
00:32:40.000And I think the answer is absolutely not.
00:32:43.000So if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, like what you said, against your livelihood, And it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why.
00:33:01.000You know, to say, I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood and I'm not going to be around you this holiday.
00:33:17.000I completely understand her point because I really do feel that this candidate, you know, President-elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate.
00:33:28.000From the things he said and the things he's done and the things he will do, it's more of a moral issue for me.
00:33:35.000And I think it's more of a moral issue for other people.
00:33:39.000I would say it was different when, let's say, Bush got elected.
00:33:43.000You know, you may not have agreed with his policies, but you didn't feel like he was a deeply flawed person, deeply flawed by character, deeply flawed in morality.
00:33:53.000I think a lot of devs called him deeply flawed and humanized him.
00:33:55.000But you've got to admit, they're very different figures.
00:34:16.000Well, I guess this would be a good time for me to announce that I'm going to go on strike from playing professional football and just announce I'm not going out for the draft next year.
00:34:25.000I feel like that's a little more credible than what she's doing.
00:34:35.000They called him the chimposter president.
00:34:38.000They had marches and protests where they had him in the likeness of Hitler with the Hitler mustache.
00:34:44.000So I love how the left always does this, that whoever is currently in power who's a Republican is Hitler, and they always compare him to the last guy who they previously called Hitler but wanted to forget.
00:34:55.000And so then they ask, oh, well, why can't he be decent like that last guy?
00:34:58.000They're going to do it to Trump, by the way.
00:35:00.000So when J.D. Vance runs again, they're going to say, you know what, we called Trump Hitler, but he was actually better than this J.D. Vance fellow.
00:35:10.000And as far as like shunning your family goes, you can go online and you can look up signs from people who study this on whether you're in a cult and they look at things that cults demand of their followers.
00:35:23.000And they demand that you renounce your former beliefs, that you cut off contact with your friends and family, that you renounce your family and that you pledge your devotion to the new cult.
00:35:44.000And for their own good, I hope they snap out of it because it's actually really, really sad and destructive to see them do this to themselves and their own families.
