>> Neil: YOU KNOW, AFTER LAST NIGHT’S CRAZY DEBATE, A SHOUT
FEST, REALLY, IT DISSOLVED VERY
QUICKLY.COULD SITTING OUT
SOMETHING LIKE THAT HELP?
WE HAVE TULSI GABBARD WITH US.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Neil: MAYBE IT WAS GOOD YOU
WEREN’T THERE.
WEREN’T THERE. WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> I COULDN’T WATCH IT.
VOTERS WALKED AWAY FEELING
FRUSTRATED GIVEN THE SERIOUS
CHALLENGES THAT WE’RE FACING
RIGHT NOW WITH THINGS LIKE THE
CORONAVIRUS.
CORONAVIRUS. SOMETHING THAT IS THREATENING
THE SAFETY, HEALTH AND
WELL-BEING AND LIVES OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AMERICAN PEOPLE. SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES ALL OF
US AS AMERICANS COMING TOGETHER,
STANDING TOGETHER AND STANDING
TOGETHER AS WE WOULD IN WARTIME.
NOW THIS CASE THE ENEMY IS THE
VIRUS AND WE HAVE TO PREVENT THE
SPREAD.
SPREAD. >> Neil: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF
CHUCK SCHUMER AND OTHER
DEMOCRATS, NANCY PELOSI
SAYING -- REPUBLICANS PLAYING
POLITICS WITH IT, ARGUING ABOUT
THE MONEY HE’S COMMITTING TO IT,
ARGUING IS IT ENOUGH.
IS THIS THE TIME TO BE DOING
THAT?
THAT? >> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. NOW IS THE TIME WHERE DEMOCRATS
AND REPUBLICANS, WHETHER CHUCK
SCHUMER, NANCY PELOSI, DONALD
TRUMP, MITCH McCONNELL, WE HAVE
TO STAND TOGETHER AS AMERICANS
AND PUT THE HEALTH AND WELL
BEING OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
FIRST.
FIRST. WE CANNOT BE PENNY-WISE AND
POUND FOOLISH AND SAY WHAT
ACTIONS ARE NECESSARY
IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT WHAT SOME
PEOPLE ARE SAYING IS INEVITABLE.
I THINK IT’S WRONG TO SAY IT’S
INEVITABLE.
INEVITABLE. IT WILL COME AND TAKE THE LIVES
OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
I DON’T ACCEPT THAT WE HAVE TO
TAKE ACTION NOW AND SAY LET’S
MOBILIZE TRAINERS TO HAVE THE
BOOT CAMPS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS,
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS,
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS, PLAYERS TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY
UNDERSTANDS BOTH THE SERIOUSNESS
OF THE THREAT AND THE ACTIONS
THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN
INDIVIDUALLY ANT SELECTIVELY TO
PREVENT ITS SPREAD, PREVENT THIS
SOON-TO-BE PANDEMIC FROM
REACHING THAT POINT.
>> Neil: THERE’S A MENTALITY
THAT THE PRESIDENT SAID WHILE HE
WAS IN INDIA, NO MATTER WHAT
KIND OF FIGURE HE PROPOSED,
CHUCK SCHUMER WOULD REJECT IT
AND THE POLITICS IS ALIVE AND
WELL.
WELL. SOUNDS LIKE YOU’RE SAYING THAT
SHOULD CEASE AN DESIST LIKE NOW.
>> YESTERDAY.
>> YESTERDAY. SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
IN HAWAII, HEY CAN’T GET TESTING
KITS.
KITS. WE HAVE THE SHORTAGE OF MASKS
THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS THAT
HAVE FOLKS COME INTO HOSPITALS
OR ERs.
OR ERs. WE’RE BEHIND THE CURVE.
WE CANNOT AFFORD FOR THIS
SENSELESS PARTISAN BICKERING AND
PUTTING PARTISAN POLITICS AHEAD
OF THE LIVES OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. THIS REQUIRES LEADERSHIP,
REQUIRES A STANDING TOGETHER AS
AMERICANS WHERE WHEN WE DO THIS,
WE KNOW WE CAN ACCOMPLISH
ANYTHING AND REQUIRES WORKING
WITH OTHER COUNTRIES.
PUTTING COOPERATION OVER
CONFLICT.
CONFLICT. BECAUSE WE’RE JUST A PLANE AWAY
FROM MANY OTHER COUNTRIES,
DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE WORLD
THAT ARE ALREADY SEEING THIS
VIRUS STARTING TO HIT THEM.
WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE.
>> Neil: IT GOT SURPRISING
ATTENTION AT THE DEBATE LAST
NIGHT AND THE SCHEME OF THINGS,
CONGRESS WOMAN.
CONGRESS WOMAN. THERE DID SEEM TO BE A PILE ON
BERNIE SANDERS.
BERNIE SANDERS. SAME SAYING HE’S YOUR NOMINEE,
YOU MIGHT AS WELL KISS THE
ELECTION GOOD BYE.
DO YOU AGREE?
>> I AGREE, THERE WAS SCANT
ATTENTION.
ATTENTION. SHOWS HOW OUT OF TOUCH THEY ARE
WITH THE REALITY OF THIS CRISIS
BEFORE US.
BEFORE US. THERE’S A LOT OF -- THERE’S 57
STATES NOW LEFT TO VOTE.
THE VOICES OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE NEED TO BE RESPECTED.
THE PUNDITS DO THEIR THING, IT’S
THE VOTES THAT PEOPLE CAST THAT
WILL MAKE THAT DETERMINATION
ABOUT THE DIRECTION THAT THEY
WANT FOR OUR COUNTRY.
>> Neil: I BELIEVE YOU MEANT 47.
BUT LET ME ASK YOU --
>> 47.
>> 47. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. >> Neil: SEEMS THAT THE FEAR IS
BERNIE SANDERS’ VIEWS ARE SO OUT
OF TOUCH, HE’S THE NOMINEE,
THERE’S NO WAY IN HECK HE WOULD
BECOME PRESIDENT.
BECOME PRESIDENT. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT OR WOULD
YOU BE SUPPORTING ANYONE OF
THOSE OTHERS IF THEY GET THE
NOMINATION?
NOMINATION? >> FIRST OF ALL, I’M STILL
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHERE I’M
FOCUSED.
FOCUSED. I THINK THE THING THAT SCARES
FOLKS IS THAT SOMEONE LIKE
BERNIE SANDERS, SOMEONE LIKE
MYSELF -- I DON’T AGREE WITH HIS
POSITIONS ON SOME THINGS.
I AGREE WITH SOME.
WHAT IS CLEAR IS THAT WE DON’T
MARCH TO THE BEAT OF THE WAR
MONGERING ESTABLISHMENT IN
WASHINGTON OR THE DEMOCRATIC
POWERFUL ELITE.
POWERFUL ELITE. THIS IS ABOUT PUTTING THE
INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
FIRST AND WORKING TO ADDRESS
THOSE CHALLENGES AND BRINGING
THE DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT WE ALL
HAVE AS AMERICANS TO THE
FOREFRONT, WHETHER THEY ARE
DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN OR
INDEPENDENT IDEAS SAYING WE HAVE
TO PUT COUNTRY FIRST.
PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING AND
STRUGGLING AND BEING LEFT BEHIND
SO LONG AS POLITICIANS IN
WASHINGTON ARE PLAYING GAMES
WITH THEIR LIVES.
>> Neil: YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE
LOOK AT BERNIE SANDERS AND SAY
HE’S TOO OLD, TOO, STREAM AND IF
HE RAN AND GOT THE NOMINATION,
HE WOULD NEED TO SEEK OUT
SOMEBODY YOUNG A WOMAN, SOMEONE
WHOSE VIEWS ARE NOT THAT
EXTREME.
EXTREME. THAT’S YOU.
THAT’S YOU. >> Neil: I KNOW YOU’RE TRYING TO
BREAK NEWS, NEIL.
>> ARE YOU KIDDING?
I LOOK AT STOCKS.
>> BERNIE IS A FRIEND BE UP I’M
FOCUSED ON CARRYING THIS
MESSAGE --
MESSAGE -- >> Neil: THAT WOULD MODERATE
WHAT SEEMS AN EXTREME TICKET,
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >> POTENTIALLY SO.
I THINK WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT
FOR US TO FOCUS ON IS WHAT ARE
VOTERS LOOKING FOR.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
DISSATISFACTION THEY HAVE WITH
THE POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS, THE
POWERFUL ELITE THAT RUN WASHING
TOP.
TOP. THEY’RE LOOKING FOR A CHAMPION,
LOOKING FOR LEADERS THAT WILL
BRING ABOUT THIS VISION THAT OUR
FOUNDERS HAD FOR US.
A GOVERNMENT OF, BY AND FOR THE
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. SO REALLY REGARDLESS OF PARTY,
THAT IS WHERE OUR FOCUS MUST BE.
