I'm calling on my fellow common sense independent minded
Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party.
If you can no longer stomach the direction that the so called woke
Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country and I invite you to join me.
>> Tulsi Gabbard announced what honestly most common sense
rational Americans already knew, she's a Republican.
She has made it pretty clear in various ways in the recent past,
including hosting Tucker Carlson Show when he was out.
Constantly rubbing elbows with all sorts of nefarious figures in the right-wing,
criticizing democrats for what Republicans engage in far more than Democrats do.
And I'll make that case with the receipts in just a moment.
But I love this, because it's this self important announcement that
she's leaving the Democratic Party over the one thing that Republicans
have decided to make their politics about which is anti wokeness.
That is the full extent of their political beliefs.
Anti wokeness, that's all they talk about.
That's all they draw attention to, they've got nothing else.
So without further ado why don't we take a look at the entirety of her videos and
do a breakdown just to point out the insane hypocrisy of what she claims
Democrats are up to while completely providing cover for the right wing.
>> I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party
that's under the complete control of an elitist cabal of
warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness.
>> Elitist cabal is interesting framing, okay,
because she loves to hang out with elitists.
I mean, she's good friends with Tucker Carlson,
good friends with well, before he passed away,
Sheldon Adelson hangs out with all sorts of elitists to say the least.
And in fact, if you just kind of take a look at the details on what
she says about warmongers, the elitist cabal of warmongers,
she kind of fits in that category.
What do I mean?
Well, Mrs Aloha loves to pretend like she's the peace candidate at least when
she was running for president.
That's what she kind of branded herself as I'm all about Aloha, I do yoga videos.
I go surfing and I'm anti war, I'm anti regime change war.
But for anyone who takes even a moment to read into her Congressional Record,
her past statements and various interviews that she's done.
She's not the anti war candidate far from it.
Let me give you the receipts because that's what matters on this show.
The actual evidence to back up the point that we're
trying to make the fact of the matter is she's very much in favor of war.
I'll give you I don't know several examples.
Great article that was written by Max Van Dyke and
international policy digest good summary here.
During an interview with the Hawaii Tribune Herald,
Gabbard described her views on foreign policy with the following,
when it comes to the war against terrorists, I'm a hawk.
When it comes to counterproductive wars of regime change, I'm a dove.
Now the war on terror as you all can imagine is very vague.
You could describe anything as a war on terror.
I mean, anyone could say that we're engaging in helping
the Ukrainians against Russia due to Russia's terror.
There were waging a war on terror against Russia as they're terrorizing Ukraine.
Anyone can make you can use that statement to fit into any international conflict.
So it was intentionally vague because if you look at a record,
there's all sorts of military funding that she's been in favor of,
all sorts of intervention she's been in favor of, it's been pretty incredible.
Elaborating on her views on the war on terror during
an appearance on NDTV Gabbard told an interviewer
that the US has a responsibility to quote root out
evil wherever it is to defeat Islamic extremism.
One might easily mistake this as a quote from Dick Cheney and that's exactly right.
It is our responsibility to root out evil wherever it is.
Now, what she's referring to is Muslims.
If you look at her record, she also seems to have some pretty
serious Islamophobic beliefs but I'll continue.
I'll give you some more receipts for this warmonger who lives
in a glass house yet is throwing stones at the Democrats.
By the way as if the Republican Party isn't full of warmongers,
now, let's just keep it real.
The Democratic Party has deep issues.
I am not erasing that, I'm not providing cover for that.
That is something we talk about on this show on a regular basis.
My issue with Tulsi Gabbard is her pretending that she's this peace
loving individual who doesn't want these interventions abroad.
She absolutely has been supportive of these interventions.
But more importantly as she's attacking Democrats,
she's providing cover for Republicans not only engaging in
the same bad behavior but doing so in a far more extreme way.
Really you're gonna pretend like the Republican Party is
the peaceful anti war party, are you insane?
Let me give you more.
According to a 2018 article from the intercept, Gabbard again doubled-down
on her support for drone strikes in the Middle East to fight terror.
Let's pause for a second, let's come to me.
Go back to TYTs, YouTube page, Facebook page,
wherever you watch your content, go back to the archives and
watch our commentary about President Barack Obama's expansion of the drone war.
We were always incredibly critical of that.
But while we were critical, Tulsi Gabbard doubled-down on that policy.
She liked that policy, she liked that expansion.
Let me give you more.
She said with these terror cells, for example, yes,
I still believe that the right approach to take is these quick strike forces,
surgical strikes in and out very quickly.
No long-term deployment, no long-term occupation,
to get rid of the threat that extrimists and then get out and
the very limited use of drones in those situations where our military
is not able to get in without creating an unacceptable level of risk.
That is the exact line of thinking that Obama used in his expansion of a drone
war that killed untold numbers of civilians, innocent individuals who were
not members of any insurgent group, who are not part of any terrorist cell.
Just innocent people in some cases as they were mourning,
their loved ones who had died as a result of our terror against them.
Children, women, people celebrating at a wedding.
Those were the quick drone strikes that we engaged in the same drone
strikes that Tulsi Gabbard is super supportive of in that comment.
Let me give you more, there's so much more guys.
You getting tired of this, cuz I love it.
All it took was just a moment for everyone to sit there asses down and
read about her, just read about her, look at her Congressional Record.
But there were so many people who somehow were gullible enough to think
that this woman was representative of peace and anti imperialism.
What a joke, let me give you more.
Gabbard also voted to increase the defense budget in 2018,
she actually did so a few times.
In fact, Gabbard has a bit of a history of voting against measures that would reduce
military spending.
For example in 2013, Gabbard voted against measures to save money on
aircraft carriers, reduce funding for submarines, cut wasteful spending,
take steps toward closing Guantanamo Bay and reducing Pentagon spending.
She voted against all that knowing full well that there's a lot of waste with
taxpayer money being funneled to private military contractors.
So she was very much part of a system that has redistributed wealth
from the bottom to the top.
I'm not done yet though, there's a little bit more just a little bit.
In 2014, Gabbard voted against an amendment that would
prohibit US combat operations in Iraq and against an amendment
that would prevent funds being used for the 2002 AUMF in Iraq.
The following year,
Gabbard voted against reducing the number of required aircraft carriers.
The navy was required to keep cutting nuclear missile program funding and
a continuing resolution introduced by Representative Jim McGovern to
remove US troops from Iraq and Syria.
That's her record, I mean sounds like a warmonger to me.
If it talks like a warmonger, walks like a warmonger, it's definitely a warmonger and
that warmonger is throwing stones outside of her massive glass house.
Then in 2016 Gabbard voted thrice, three times against repealing or
blocking funding for the 2001 AUMF which is what currently gives
American presidents a blank check for starting more endless wars.
She's a fraud, in fact of the matters she's also a coward,
because I knew all this about her years ago.
I was trying to warn the audience about her in 2019 and
I was attacked viciously for it by the way.
And when she realized that I had the audacity to just read her
Congressional Record and understand how she voted, she had her team right
into TYT as we were quickly approaching an interview that Jake and
I were supposed to do with her.
To let us know that she would not be doing the interview unless I was excluded from
it because she's a freaking coward who can't even stand by her
own goddamn record.
Let's hear more from the liar.
>> Who actively work to undermine our God given freedoms that are enshrined
in our constitution, who are hostile to people of faith and
spirituality, who demonize the police but
protect criminals at the expense of law abiding Americans.
>> God given freedoms.
So what about the people who don't believe in God,
in a country that has a separation of church and state?
And what about the fact that we're currently grappling with a rise
of Christian nationalism in this country, a rise in individuals
who don't respect our first Amendment which specifically states?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof, what about that?
And while she is going after Democrats for doing away with our freedoms after
Republicans successfully stripped women of their bodily autonomy.
You should also keep in mind that you have Republicans openly,
openly stating that they don't respect the constitution and
they certainly don't respect separation of church and state.
They want to force, yes,
force their religious beliefs on everyone in the country.
Don't believe me, we've got some evidence on that too, let's watch.
>> The church is supposed to direct the government,
the government is not supposed to direct the church.
That is not how our founding fathers intended it and
I'm tired of the separation of church and state Junk.
>> Again, there is no separation of church and state, it's a fabrication,
it's a fiction, it's not in the constitution.
>> But Democrats are the problem, right?
It's the Democrats, Democrats are the ones that are doing away with people's freedom.
Just yesterday, Congresswoman Marjorie Greene talked about how we are in
the best position to reverse same sex marriage in this country.
How's that for freedom?
But Tulsi Gabbard loves it, cuz if you look at her past,
she's also anti gay marriage.
I mean, this is who she's been and this attempt to rebrand herself as
a Republican is hilarious cuz she's always been a right winger.
It's just unfortunately, some people fell for this charade that she was engaged in.
Final part of her video that I found so
laughable had to do with corruption, actually, so let's watch that.
>> I believe in a government that's of the people by the people and for the people.
Unfortunately, today's Democratic Party does not.
Instead it stands for a government that is of by and for the powerful elite.
>> Now she's right that the Democratic Party corporate Democrats in
particular are taking campaign donations from corporatists,
from individuals who have destroyed our economic system and
have fueled the inequality that we're seeing in this country right now.
That's why Democrats, one of their biggest mistakes was moving further and
further away from average working Americans.
They used to represent blue collar workers.
They used to represent workers in general in this country.
But the FDR days are over for the Democratic Party and
that's a huge mistake.
So I will grant her that point.
But to make that point while completely ignoring the reality
of corruption among Republicans is hilarious.
Does anyone really think that Republicans are the party by the people for
the people really?
I know they're using all this phony surface level populist lingo.
But why don't we take a look at who funds them?
Let's start with the 2020 election, the last major general election.
Man Republican billionaires got real active, real active.
Sheldon Adelson who unfortunately died in January of 2021 broke his own
spending records doling out $120 million to GOP that means Republican
congressional super- PACs, 90 million to a pro-Trump super-PAC in
about another $8 million two other conservative causes and candidates.
That's interesting, I mean Tulsi Gabbard from what I've read about her is actually
very familiar with Sheldon Adelson.
Here's a Tweet from Rabbi Shmuley with Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and
Miriam Adelson at our Gala dinner last Thursday.
Yeah, she loved to get real cozy with these individuals.
That was a Tweet from May 9 of 2016, we've got more.
Hedge fund heavyweight Ken Griffin, a Mitt Romney supporter in 2012
didn't donate directly to Donald Trump's campaign in 2016 or 2020.
Instead he focused on Congress,
dumping $37 million into a super-PAC supporting Senate Republicans and
another $10 million to a group backing House Republicans over the last two years.
Wow, that really seems like a party by the people and for the people,
there's more, of course there's more, there's so much more.
The richest man in private equity Stephen Schwarzman put $35 million into
a super-PAC called the Senate Leadership Fund supporting Republican senators.
He also gave $2 million to a group supporting one particular
Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Former President Trump also got some love with committees that
support him receiving $3.7 million.
And I can't help myself, I just wanna make sure you guys get the receipts right?
Because I'm just a dumb girl who doesn't know what I'm talking about.
I have to be dog piled for months and months and months until people realize
what I'm talking about is actually based on evidence that I present on the show.
But let me give you one more piece of evidence.
Georgia, mega donor Bernard Marcus donated $10 million to a super pac
that ran a slew of anti biden ads in the run up to the election and
put $5.8 million toward a super pac focused on GOP senate races,
Marcus co founder from Home Depot, Arthur blank supported biden in 2020.
But Marcus spent more than 30 times as much money on trump as blank did on biden.
There's plenty of corruption to go around to erase the bad behavior or provide
cover for the bad behavior of right wing politicians while attacking democrats.
Makes it clear that Home girls got an agenda.
But what I want you guys to understand is this agenda is not new.
It's been here for a while now and rather than immediately having a knee jerk
negative reaction to someone who's trying to warn you about who someone really is,
especially a politician who's seeking power,
maybe take a look at the evidence that's presented and make a judgment call instead
of getting offended that your preconceived notions have been challenged.
That's all I ask
