Video summary
In this segment, Tulsi Gabbard delivers a scathing critique of Kamala Harris's fitness for the presidency and her potential impact on national security. Gabbard argues that Harris is incapable and unfit to serve as Commander-in-Chief, warning that she would be easily manipulated by unelected powers while simultaneously feeling compelled to display excessive strength at an incredibly high cost to American service members and global stability. She emphasizes the current precarious geopolitical landscape, noting that the United States faces imminent threats of war with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, a situation where even a single spark could trigger nuclear conflict. Gabbard contends that Harris's history across every position she has held—from District Attorney in San Francisco to Vice President—demonstrates a consistent pattern of prioritizing her own political interests over the people she was sworn to serve, coupled with a clear disregard for the Constitution and fundamental freedoms. Beyond national security concerns, Gabbard challenges perceptions regarding Harris's intellect, stating that while she may be calculating in ways that have propelled her career, describing her as "smart" is not accurate. The conversation shifts to the broader state of the Democratic Party, which Gabbard describes as having changed drastically over recent years but lacking moral courage among its leadership. She highlights a specific and severe failure within the party regarding Title IX, an education law protecting women's rights in sports that has been on the books for over fifty years. According to her account, this legislation has effectively been obliterated by the Biden administration, leading to high school girls' teams being comprised largely of biological males. Gabbard expresses disbelief that not a single Democrat in Congress or as a state governor has had the bravery to publicly condemn this destruction and defend women's rights. Gabbard characterizes these Democratic leaders not as principled guardians but as followers who prioritize political positioning over objective truth, remaining silent on issues she deems fundamentally wrong. She suggests that many within the party do not genuinely believe their actions are correct but rather act out of cowardice to maintain status quo support bases. This lack of leadership extends beyond sports policy; Gabbard implies a systemic unwillingness among Democrats to stand up against what they perceive as insanity or injustice, whether it be in foreign policy maneuvering or domestic social issues. She asserts that the political "food fight" currently occurring within the Democratic nomination process is dangerous because it distracts voters from examining Harris's failed record and assessing how perilous her presidency would truly be given these underlying traits and party dynamics. The discussion concludes with Gabbard admitting she cannot recommend a specific alternative candidate for president or vice president on the Democratic ticket, citing the pervasive nature of cowardice throughout the entire establishment as an insurmountable barrier to finding someone worthy of trust. She questions what kind of leadership exists when officials are willing to go along with policies that objectively harm women and girls simply because it is politically expedient rather than morally right. Ultimately, Gabbard's argument serves as a stark warning against electing Harris, framing her potential presidency not just as a political shift but as an existential threat driven by malleability, self-interest, and the erosion of constitutional values within the Democratic Party structure she criticizes so vehemently.

what do you think of kamla you bodied
her only a couple of years ago what do
you think of
her the same thing that I thought of her
uh back then is is she um and this is
this was what I warned people against in
2019 is she is incapable and unfit to to
be president and
commander-in-chief she would be very
dangerous in that position not only
because she will be easily manipulated
and controlled by uh those unelected
powers that be that we talked about but
also would immediately feel like she
needs to exert and show strength and
that that would come at an incredibly
high cost to uh our men and women my
brothers and sisters in uniform uh to
our country and quite frankly to the
world especially given the the situation
that we're facing today where you know
we're on the brink of war with Russia
and China Iran nor nor Korea just to
name a few oh and also by the way we are
closer to the brink of nuclear war now
than ever before certainly in our
lifetimes uh and so in any one of these
examples it takes one spark uh for any
one of these
situations uh to to quite literally blow
up um she she has demonstrated through
her time as vice president through her
time as US senator through her time as
the Attorney General in California
district attorney of San Francisco and
every opportunity every position that
she held uh where she had the
opportunity to put the interests of the
people she was supposed to be serving
first uh she put her own political
interests first and
uh and clearly does not believe in the
Constitution and fundamental Freedom so
she's not alone in this obviously uh but
she is now not officially but will be
very soon the Democratic nominee for
president and we as voters should not
allow the political like food fight
that's going to go on to get in the way
of of actually knowing the facts of of
her record and her failed record and how
dangerous she would be in that position
is she
smart I I would not say so
I don't know if Smart's the right word
intelligent no she is a very calculating
person uh and so perhaps Smart in her
calculations that have gotten her to
this
point if there is a big problem with the
potential of Kamala being the Democratic
nominee you can wave a wand you could be
God who would you want to see
instead well i r for president on the
Democratic ticket and who would you put
as a
VP
um I don't in and and I'm speaking in
today's context I don't know uh and and
here's
why the Democratic party is vastly
different even today than it was four
years ago vastly different four years
from eight years and so on but the fact
that not a single Democrat in the House
of Representatives or the US Sen not a
single one has had the courage to stand
up and call out the insanity of of um
this whole you know boys can be girls if
they say they're girls not a single one
not a single one stood up against Joe
Biden's uh and and his administration's
complete destruction of Title 9 which is
the law that says women and girls should
have a Level Playing Field and education
in sports with boys and men period it's
been in place over 50 years something
Democrats celebrated for
decades completely obliterated now to
the point where you have sports girls
sports
teams half of them are biological Boys
in high school in Middle School not a
single one Democrat leader in the house
or Senate in Washington DC has had the
courage to stand up and say this is
wrong and you're hurting women and girls
by doing this
so it's hard for me to pick someone up
out of those who exist in the country I
can't think of a Democrat Governor of a
state that's had the courage to stand up
and say this uh so I I don't have an
answer for you because we are at a time
where uh I I don't I personally don't
think that every one of them really
believes that this is the right thing to
do um sufficiently cowardly to go along
with it exactly so what kind of
leadership is what kind of leadership is
that it's not it's the opposite they're
followers and and worse yet care care
more about their political positioning
that they're that they're willing to um
remain silent in something that is like
just the most fundamentally objectively
true thing that exists yeah that is not
exactly a glowing comment on the squad
that you've got to pick from no the
literal Squad and the broader Squad
