>> Sean: HERE NOW WITH
REACTION, SOMEONE WHO WAS ALSO
TARGETED BY MEMBERS OF HER OWN
PARTY, FORMER DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE,
CONGRESSWOMAN TULSI GABBARD.
CONGRESSWOMAN, WELCOME BACK.
WHEN YOU SEE THAT VIDEO AND YOU
KNOW THAT JOE BIDEN IS TRYING TO
BRING SOME, SOME BASIC COMMON
SENSE BACK TO THE PARTY, WHAT IS
YOUR REACTION?
>> SEAN, WHAT BOTHERED ME MOST
WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO WAS REALLY
THE EXAGGERATION AND THE
DISHONESTY, WHERE YOU HAVE
PEOPLE THERE WHO ARE ESSENTIALLY
TRYING TO CREATE A VIRAL MOMENT
AND A HEADLINE AND YELLING OUT
"JOE MANCHIN IS TRYING TO RUN US
OVER."
THIS IS JUST THE LATEST EXAMPLE
OF A DISTURBING, LARGER PATTERN
OF DISHONESTY AND DISRESPECT FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHERE THEY
THINK WE ARE JUST STUPID.
WE SAW THIS IN THE EXCUSES THAT
RELATE OUT WHEN McAULIFFE LOST
IN VIRGINIA.
THEY SAID OH, WELL, YOUNGKIN WON
BECAUSE HE SOUNDED HIS DOG
WHISTLE AND ALL THE DOGS CAME
OUT AND VOTED.
HIM AND THAT IS WHY HE WON.
AND IT REVEALS REALLY WHAT THEY
THINK ABOUT US.
THAT WE ARE STUPID, THAT WE ARE
DOGS, THAT WE DON’T HAVE
INTELLIGENCE OR FREE WILL TO
MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS FOR
OURSELVES, AND THEREFORE WE
SHOULD JUST TRUST THEM IN THEIR
ARROGANT ATTITUDE THAT THEY AND
THE BIG GOVERNMENT, THEY KNOW
WHAT IS BEST FOR US THAT WILL
MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR US.
>> Sean: I USE THE ANALOGY, I
WAS THE MC THE NIGHT
NEWT GINGRICH BECAME SPEAKER IN
1994, AND IT WAS A WAKE-UP CALL,
REPUBLICANS THAT HAD BEEN OUT OF
POWER IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES FOR FOUR YEARS,
AND IT BECAME A WAKE-UP CALL FOR
BILL CLINTON, AND THAT IS WHEN
HE CHANGED GEARS, AND THE ERA OF
BIG GOVERNMENT IS OVER, THE UNDEAD WELFARE AS WE KNOW IT.
UNDEAD WELFARE AS WE KNOW IT.
THIS DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST PARTY,
A DUST.
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN SINCE TUESDAY
IS FULL SPEED AHEAD ON
SOCIALISM.
DO YOU SEE THE SAME THING?
>> WHAT I SEE IS THIS CONTINUED
DISRESPECT OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
YOU LOOK AT THE UNDERLYING
PROBLEM HERE IS THAT WE DON’T
HAVE LEADERS WHO ACTUALLY
RESPECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHO
ACTUALLY RESPECT US ENOUGH TO
LISTEN, TO LISTEN TO WHAT
PARENTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, THEIR CHILDREN AND
THEIR EDUCATION.
TO LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WHO ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE
POWER ELITES TRYING TO TEAR US
APART BASED ON THE COLOR OF OUR
SKIN.
THEY DON’T RESPECT US ENOUGH TO
LISTEN, SO HOW CAN WE EVER
EXPECT THEM TO ACTUALLY ACT IN
OUR BEST INTEREST, RATHER THAN
THE INTEREST OF THEMSELVES,
THEIR POWER, OR THE POWER OF THE
ELITE.
>> Sean: I’M WATCHING
JOE MANCHIN AND NATURAL GAS AND
COAL, THESE ARE HUGE INDUSTRIES
IN HIS STATE.
THESE POLICIES WILL DIRECTLY AND
NEGATIVELY IMPACT OF THE PEOPLE
OF WEST VIRGINIA.
SO HE’S STANDING UP FOR THE
PEOPLE THAT PUT HIM IN OFFICE.
AS YOU LOOK AT THIS EMERGING
PARTY, LED BY THE SQUAD, LED BY
NEW GREEN DEAL SOCIALISM, DO YOU
EVEN CONSIDER YOURSELF A
DEMOCRAT ANYMORE?
>> I AM LESS CONCERNED ABOUT
PARTY POLITICS.
YES, I AM A DEMOCRAT, BUT I AM
LESS CONCERNED ABOUT PARTY
POLITICS THAN I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY,
GIVEN THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP
THAT WE ARE SEEING, THIS KIND OF
SELF-SERVING LEADERSHIP THAT
PLUNGES FORWARD.
YOU JUST PLAYED A FEW DIFFERENT
CLIPS THAT REALLY REVEAL THE
ARROGANCE OF THIS LEADERSHIP,
THAT PLUNGES FORWARD WITHOUT ANY
REGARD FOR THE COST AND
CONSEQUENCES ON THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE IN THE SHORT TERM OR THE
LONG TERM.
THE COST AND CONSEQUENCES ON OUR
FREEDOMS, ON THE UNDERMINING OF
OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
THERE ARE DEEPER ISSUES HERE
THAT REALLY NEED TO BE BROUGHT
TO THE FOREFRONT THAT MOST IN
THE MEDIA ARE NOT EVEN TALKING
ABOUT.
>> Sean: YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A
PERIOD IN MY LIFE,, AND
CONGRESSMAN, WHERE I DO STRUGGLE
FOR A LOT OF YEARS TO PAY RENT.
THE HIGH COST OF GASOLINE,
TOTALLY INDEPENDENT.
WHY WOULD WE EVER GIVE THAT UP?
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BORDER,
TOTALLY PREVENTABLE.
WE HAD A POLICY THAT WAS
WORKING.
AFGHANISTAN, ANOTHER EXAMPLE, WE
COULD HAVE WITHDRAWN WHEN WE HAD
FULL CONTROL OF KABUL, AND
MONTHS TO DO IT, DIDN’T DO IT.
INFLATION, ENERGY PRICES, YOU
PUT ALL OF US TOGETHER, WHO IS
GETTING HURT HERE?
THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THIS
COUNTRY GREAT, THE WORKING MEN
AND WOMEN OF AMERICA, THE PEOPLE
THAT REALLY, REALLY, YOU KNOW,
THE POOR, THE MIDDLE CLASS.
PAYING A BUCK 50 MORE A GALLON,
I CAN AFFORD IT BUT A LOT OF
PEOPLE CAN’T, AND THERE SEEMS TO
BE A DISCONNECT IN TERMS OF
CARING ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE.
>> AND THAT IS REALLY WHAT IS AT
THE HEART OF THE FRUSTRATION
THAT PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW, IS THAT
THEY ARE NOT BEING HEARD.
THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING SEEN,
THAT THEIR CHALLENGES REALLY ARE
NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY THOSE IN
POWER.
YOU LISTED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
CHALLENGES, AND OUR
REPRESENTATIVES IN GOVERNMENT,
THEY WILL HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS
OF HOW TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS,
BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT ISSUES
RELATED TO OPEN BORDERS AND
IMMIGRATION, WHEN YOU LOOK AT
ISSUES RELATED TO OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT
ISSUES RELATED TO ENERGY
INDEPENDENCE, WE CAN HAVE
DIFFERENT IDEAS ON HOW TO
ACCOMPLISH THOSE THINGS, BUT
THOSE THINGS ARE CONCERNS THAT
ARE CENTRAL TO ALL OF US,
REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY,
SO IF WE TREAT EACH OTHER WITH
RESPECT, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, AND
COME TOGETHER AND SAY HEY, WE
NEED TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE
GOOD OF THE COUNTRY, THEN WE CAN
HAVE THAT REAL DIALOGUE THAT
WILL ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD
AND MAKE PROGRESS TO SOLVE THESE
PROBLEMS.
>> Sean: BOY COME I WILL GIVE
