KENNEDY: VIRTUALLY EVERY 2020
DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE IS CALLS FOR
THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE
PRESIDENT -- IMPEACHMENT OF THE
PRESIDENT, OUR NEXT GUEST SAID
IT COULD BE DIVISIVE FOREVER
COUNTRY, HAWAII CONGRESSWOMAN
TULSI GABBARD IS STANDING OUT
FROM THE CROWD.
SO DAY TO DEFEAT THE PRESIDENT
AT BALLOT BOX.
I JUST SAID THAT.
SHE WILL BRING THAT UP AT NEXT
MONTH'S DEBATE.
SHE QUALIFIED LOS
SHE QUALIFIED TOS
SHE QUALIFIED TODAY.
TONIGHT SHE IS WITH ME, HAWAII
DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN, ARYMENTA
DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN, ARYMENTM
DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN, ARYMENTY
WOMAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE,
TULSI GABBARD.
>> THANK YOU.
KENNEDY: I AM SURPRISED A LOT OF
THE CANDIDATES CALL FOR THE
REMOVAL OF THE PRESIDENT FROM A
JOB THEY WANT.
IF WE GO DOWN THIS ROAD, AND IF
THERE IS SUCCESS, I HAVE A
FEELING THAT EVERY OTHER
PRESIDENT WILL BE IMPEACHED.
>> THIS IS THE PROBLEM, AND WHY
I FEEL STRONGLY THIS NOT THE
ROUTE WE SHOULD TAKE, THIS
POLITICIZES SOMETHING THAT
AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO BE
TRUSTED TO DECIDE WHO THEY WOULD
LIKE TO SEE AS PRESIDENT AND CAM
OWNER IN CHIEF.
I DISAGREE WITH TRUMP ON A LOT
OF THINGS.
BUT I AM RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
TO DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP IN 2020,
I BELIEVE I CAN DO THAT.
THAT IS WHY I'M RUNNING, I TRUST
THAT THE VOTERS WILL MAKE THAT
DECISION.
KENNEDY: I KNOW THAT IN SOME
RESPECTS HAVE YOU A LIMITED
GOVERNMENT STREAK.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
LIBERTARIANS WHO IN TERMS OF
FOREIGN POLICY, YOU ARE THE ONLY
CANDIDATE THAT HAS RESONATED
WITH THEM THERE.
I THINK YOU ARE A LITTLE
MISGUIDED ON MEDICARE FOR ALL,
THERE IS NO WAY TO PAY FOR IT
BUT HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
CONSTRAINING EXECUTIVE POWER.
NOW THERE IS A WILD MAN ON THE
LOOSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN
THEIR EYES.
>> I DO BELIEVE THAT EXECUTIVE
BRANCH HAS BEEN ABUSING ITS
POWER NOT JUST THIS
ADMINISTRATION BUT PREVIOUS AS
WELL, THE PROBLEM, IT HAS BECOME
PARTISAN.
PRESIDENT OBAMA WOULD ISSUE AN
ORDER AND REPUBLICANS WOULD GO
UP IN ARMS, AND THEN THE ROLES
ARE REVERSED.
SOME CHALLENGES WE HAVE, AND WHY
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF OUR
POLITICAL SYSTEM AND HYPER
PARTISANSHIP EVEN MY FELLOW
DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT, SAYING THIS IS
WHAT I WILL DO, I WILL ISSUE AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER AND CALL A
NATIONAL EMERGENCY, THEY WANT TO
BYPASS CONGRESS ANY NOT DO HARD
WORK NECESSARY IN BUILDING
COALITION.
KENNEDY: BOTH PARTIES ARE GUILTY
OF THAT.
YOUR FRIENDS AND CONGRESS ARE
YOU KNOW THEY ARE SELECTIVELY
LAZY WITH WORKING UP A
COALITION, PAUSE THAT IS WHAT
WE'RE LEANS TOWARD, A TWO PARTY
SYSTEM IS BROKEN.
I HAVE A FEELING WE HAD MORE
VIABLE PARTIES YOU PROBABLY
WOULD NOT BE AN ESTABLISHED
DEMOCRAT LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IRAN A
LITTLE BIT.
YOUR FOREIGN POLICY IS WHAT IS
MOST INTERESTING ABOUT YOU AND
YOU HAVE SERVED OVERSEAS IN
AFGHANISTAN AND KUWAIT.
>> IRAQ.
KENNEDY: HERE YOU ARE.
AS PRESIDENT.
WHAT WOULD PRESIDENT GABBARD DO
IF A SAUDI OIL FEEL WAS
CONCLUSIVELY BOMBED BY IRANIAN?
>> I WOULD RECOGNIZE FIRST AND
FORE MOST WHAT OUR OBJECTIVE IS.
AS PRESIDENT AS THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE --
>> WHAT IS OUR OBJECTIVE IN
MIDDLE EAST.
>> IT SHOULD BE, IS OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY, ABOUT WHAT DO WE NEED
TO KEEP AMERICAN PEOPLE SAFE.
THE GREAT THREAT THAT WE FACE
HERE RIGHT NOW, IF STATUS WE IS
ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITH TRUMP
THROWING THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL
IN TRASH CAN.
ALL INSPECTORS ARE NOW GONE AND
IRAN IS MOVING FORWARD.
KENNEDY: THEY WERE UNTRUST
WORTHY AND THERE WAS NEVER VIE
>> IRAN SAYING THEY WAS IN
COMPLIANCE, SINCE DRUSM
COMPLIANCE, SINCE TRUSM
COMPLIANCE, SINCE TRUMP LEFT
THAT, THAT HAS GONE AWAY.
KENNEDY: WHAT ABOUT SAUDI
ARABIA?
WOULD YOU CONTINUE TO SELL ARMS
TO THEM.
>> NO.
KENNEDY: AND THE ETHNIC IN
CHINA.
>> CLOSE LOOP ON IRAN FIRST,
THIS IS IMPORTANT AND PRECIPICE
THAT WE'RE FACING AS AMERICAN
PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, WHAT TRUMP
NEEDS TO DO, WHAT I WOULD DO IF
I WERE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS STRATEGY HAS
FAILED.
IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT IRAN
DOES NOT CONTINUE TO MAKE
PROGRESS TOWARD DEVELOPING A
NUCLEAR WEAPON, WE ENTER THE
AGREEMENT.
KENNEDY: DON'T YOU THINK IT
NEEDS TO BE ALTERED.
>> STRENGTHENED BUT WE NEED TO
REENTER AGREEMENT AS IT EXISTS
TO PARALLEL NEGOTIATIONS TO BE
ABLE TO WORK OUT THE OUTSTANDING
ISSUES, THE SUNSET CLAUSES.
KENNEDY: VERIFY BILL TIE,
BECAUSE -- JUST BECAUSE IT IS
THERE DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE
LOOKING AT RIGHT PLACES, DOES
NOT MINE THEY CAN JUST SHOW UP
AND THROW THE PANTRY DOOR OPEN
TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE TINKERING
WITH THAT, PROBLEMATIC, BUT A
COUPLE OTHER THINGS, BEFORE WE
RUN OUT OF TIME.
IN CHINA.
A MILLION ARE SENT TO LABOR
CAMPS TO TOIL FOR THE REST OF
SHORT LIVES ORER DIE, WHAT DO
YOU DO.
>> WE TAKE THAT WITH OTHER
CHALLENGES OR DIFFERENCES WE
HAVE WITH CHINA.
AND SEE WHERE AND HOW WE CAN
HELP IMPROVE THE SITUATION.
BUT ALSO SEE HOW OTHER AREAS
WHERE WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK
WITH CHINA, WHETHER THEY BE ON
AREAS OF ECONOMIC INTEREST OR
AREAS --
>> HOW ABOUT, AND YOU KNOW --
>> CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE WAY THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION
IS APPROACHING CHINA IS VERY
DANGEROUS.
IN THAT YOU KNOW TRUMP SAYS THAT
CHINA IS OUR ENEMY, ESCALATING
THIS TRADE AND TARIFF WAR,
HAVING A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR
FARMERS.
>> YES, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT,
AND I BET THERE SAY FREE TRADE
STREAK IN YOU.
THAT --
>> A FAIR TRADE STREAK.
KENNEDY: BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE FAIR
TRADE WITH A STATE-RUN ECONOMY,
THEY ARE PLAYING BY DHFT
THEY ARE PLAYING BY DIFT
THEY ARE PLAYING BY DIFFERENT
RULES THEY ARE VERY SELF
INTERESTED, THAT SELF INTEREST
IN STATE DOES NOT HAVE ANY
INTEREST IN INDIVIDUAL.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DEBATE
STAGE, BECAUSE, YOU REALLY CORED
POINTED AGAINST KAMALA HARRIS,
YOU HAD A MOMENT THAT WAS ROOTED
IN SOMETHING MORE SUBSTANTIAL
THAN JUST A QUICK GOTCHA MOMENT,
YOU WENT AFTER HER RECORD, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING DIFFERENTLY.
>> TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PLATFORM TO
BE ABLE TO BE IN FRONT OF A LOT
OF PEOPLE TO SHARE WITH THEM,
WHAT I AM MY BACK GROUND, AND
SERVICE AS A SOLDIER, DISE

I BRING OF MOST IMPORTANT
RESPONSIBILITY OF PRESIDENT TO
SERVE -- COMMANDER AND CHIEF.
AND REDIRECT THE RESOURCES THAT
WE HAVE SEEN TRILLIONS OF DOLLAR
WASTED.
KENNEDY: YES,
KENNEDY: YES.
>> THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN LIVES.
>> BETWEEN 4 TO 6 TRILLION.
>> RIGHT, THINK ABOUT WHO WE
COULD DO WITH THOSE TAXPAYER
DOLLARS.
KENNEDY: YOU KNOW, WE COULD,
GIVE IT BACK TO INDIVIDUALS.
>> USE IT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
KENNEDY: ALLOWS FAMILY TO DECIDE
ARE IN THEMSELVES WHERE THEY
SEND THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL AND
THEIR INSURANCE THAT WOULD BE --
>> NEEDS ARE GREAT.
KENNEDY: THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
WHO NEEDS TO GET OUT OF RACE
RIGHT NOW?
>> I'M NOT FOCUSED ON OTHER
PEOPLE TO BE HONEST.
KENNEDY: WHO ARE YOU FRIENDS
WITH?
WHO WILL HAVE YOU A GEAR
WHO WILL HAVE YOU A BEAR
WHO WILL HAVE YOU A BEER WITH
AFTER.
>> I AM FRIENDS WITH AND WORKED
WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER
CANDIDATES, I APPRECIATE HIGH MY
CANDIDATES, I APPRECIATE HIGH MT
CANDIDATES, I APPRECIATE HIGH MM
CANDIDATES, I APPRECIATE HIGH ME
ON THE ROAD.
>> MARIANNE.
>> WE GET ALONG, SHE HAS A LOT
OF ALOHA.
LOVE, AND RESPECT AND CARE FOR
EVERYONE THAT IS WHAT WE NEED A
LOT MORE OF.
KENNEDY: A LADY WIZARD.
I KNOW AN AREA OF CONTENTION FOR
NEW YOUR PARTY SOMETHING OF MAST
STATEMENT ON LGBTQ COMMUNITY, I
THINK THAT YOU HAVE IN MANY
WAYS, YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY
EXPLAINED YOUR POSITION.
I AM JUST WONDERING, WHEN DID
YOUR POSITION CHANGE.
THAT HAS TO BE FOR THE KIND OF
DISCONNECT YOU HAVE MADE, WHICH
IS A PRETTY SHARP TURN.
THERE HAS TO BE AN A-HA MOMENT.
KENNEDY: THROUGHOUT THE
EXPERIENCE HIS WITH MY
DEPLOYMENT TO MIDDLE EAST, THOSE
HAD A BIG IMPACT ON ME IN A
COUPLE OF WAYS, ONE IS
EXPERIENCING FIRST HAND IN THESE
COUNTRIES, HOW DEVASTATING AND
HARMFUL AND DANGEROUS IT IS TO
HAVE A GOVERNMENT TRYING TO ACT
AS A MORAL ASH IT -- ARBITOO FOR
PEOPLE, AND FOR ME IT WAS
SERVING WITH FELLOW SOLDIER WHO
ARE GAY, LEASE
ARE GAY, LESSE
ARE GAY, LESBIAN AND
UNDERSTANDING HOW DEEP THAT BOND
WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE, I WOULD
GIVE MY LIFE FOR THEM, I KNOW
THEY WOULD GIVE THEIR LIFE FOR
ME, TAKING THAT TIME OF
REFLECTTION, AND SEEING THE
CONTRADICTION OF VIEWS THAT I
PREVIOUSLY HELD, AND A MEMBER OF
CONGRESS, AN OPPORTUNITY TO
TRULY FIGHT FOR EQUAL TIE, AND
MAKE SURE OUR GOVERNMENT DOES
NOT FALL INTO THAT TRAP OF
TRYING TO BE A MORAL ARBITOR .
KENNEDY: IF YOUR DEMOCRAT
NOMINATION IS NOT SUCCESSFUL.
WOULD YOU CONSIDER RUNNING AS A
LIBERTARIAN, GETTING RID OF
PROGRESSIVE NONSENSE.
>> I WILL NOT.
KENNEDY: COME ON.
YOU BROKE PAUL BENNETT'S HEART,
ONE OF OUR PRODUCERS.
>> I AM SORRY PAUL.
KENNEDY: THANK YOU.
