Sick you won't close again to talk about leaving this morning to be with us today talk about why she decided to leave the party.

Why now now to rejoice yesterday is the broadcast to be the big house with this morning that she is leaving the Democratic Party and she went through the reasons why she's watching the podcast as well and she said through that podcast to walk through each of those statements that she made today in the more brief remarks that she released her first podcast as well so she will be joining us live on the show, so will have courseware but as a majority as well at Logan's here with me now at those if you can walk through her points about why she could no longer see the Democratic Party if she started with it. It's become the party of the elitist warmongers yet which is which is a pretty far cry from where they were when she thought I spent 20 years ago was interested but she got gotta the politics as early as 21-year-old statehouse that she did this was the antiwar party.

This was the bigger to party at the time and I you I would say to the Republican Party since I been working inside of it, probably simultaneously. When she was during the Democratic Party. I was working Republican politics. We were the outliers. Initially we were. We used to be the allies people as his broadcasters to be valid and we took over the party and suddenly the party became a lot more diverse a lot more open to new ideas, questioning things like that. We would wish not having a strong so the question is should have a strong military, the best equipment she's in the military site and things that either.

It's the Ford adventurism and using our military like pods instead of human beings for business and that kind of thing so that's a lot of stuff she talked about a dozen full podcast this morning. I just broke down all of her things will be bubbling, waiting for this announcement from her senior now show up a lot more assertive allergy speaking at sea pack.

She's doing a lot of things fairly shocking that she would leave. But many really negative. The longer we can say oh we have a friend on the ethics got a nice but it was a really informative podcast. I would encourage all to go to Glisan and eight when Geelong died later.

I'm sure they saw him there in an ounce and that's pretty cool to submit your stay tuned for that to become up in just a few segments and I really did like the podcast and really debases her solo had of breaking down this announcement about half an hour to watch it on YouTube and a rumble and you can listen to it podcast feed it would beautiful shots ions estimate like the video side of it looked amazing. So in a very compelling piece. I'm excited to see this and was really excited, was that it did get so much attention and so much coverage you really could have been. I woke up to this work. Yeah, I think it could have easily cutting been one of those things that happens as a lever that became a really start six or maybe 56077 on the East Coast, but that was interesting to me to going through these terms an extra want to talk about that. I would talk as we come back. The break starts at the cowardly woke this and when I would ask her about what I would ask about was I feel like one. There is it that there is cowardice mind because you just say what I could talk for this you visit, but also to keeping up with what you what like working inside the corporate world that is woke now and try to keep up with like what are you even supposed to say today what to get you fired tomorrow that today was fine to say but tomorrow you can use that term anymore or you know just overstepping it is also a lot about left also is embracing the term now. It's like if you're not woe that's a probably sound like just a word to describe right insert line, but faith in faith and spirituality being demonized in the left and that she's not in favor of that and that was a big portion of it as well for our listener base. I think I find that pretty interesting and gives a call to get time to take your thoughts 100-684-3110 you want to totally absent. She's bid for Available in the conservative world's been speaking out all these issues is called what 100 684-3110 support order ACLJ ACLJ.organelles encouragement ACLJ action final day to file your own comment is a conscious thing to do. It against the VA being turned into an abortion clinic. That's ACLJ action. Could Algeria's next segment is breaking news on Saudi Arabia because the White House through John Kirby announced that they are rethinking and willing to work with Congress about what is the right relationship with Saudi Arabia again. I know that they weren't happy about the 2000 barrel cut by OPEC but that's more I think personal to Biden that it is about the United States that does talk about where the United States stands in the world today, but I don't think we get crossed over that line where we can't come back very quickly with the right leadership, and obviously we hadn't previous administration, and most previous illustrations they were able to work with the Saudi's not to say that they are perfect, but that they been a pretty solid ally when it comes to intelligence, security by the it's Islamic terrorism. They started having to deal with Islamic terrorism in their own country and so you know in fighting back against Iraq. We were we were building allies through Abraham records it and this idea that we can have a bigger than just US and Israel. Going it alone against Iran, but the entire Middle East say were all getting unite have their very wealthy that the resources that the military they have the security work closely with us.

These are quick American equipment with bases on the in these countries so that we can rethink this is not a good time to rethink relationships that were good that you could have spats. Obviously the Khashoggi incident wizard as he clearly does a decision thanks is not good for any of us but I feel like that was worth a shot. Irritation chatted Joe Biden in the administration because they they really don't like displaying around the Ron and Iran nuclear deal.

They don't trust with us and ministrations go are are we the superpower with all these countries have to figure out should we are is it still worthwhile to go it alone with the United States and say you know were willing to take on the subject. China or give Iran are we to place ourselves in the process of 1-800-684-3110 at 2064 3110 you this cowardly woke Mr. Tosa Gavin talks about. I think a lot of you are experiencing that who work in the corporate world in the education world and it changes so often. I think you brought up this honor podcast on secular brothers and a lot of people looking for that certain exit ramp where they can get out and move on because you get so stuck in your own political party and you see it going further and further away. You don't really know how to react. She's got one of the first political figures you had at your obviously some celebrities have done this, you have like your Bill Mars who moved away from it… John Cleese yesterday, moving away from it that you have though I told Garrett who loves a prominent Democrat ran against Pres. Trump 20 2022 or 2020 and now you have a situation where she's leaving in and it almost when the video this morning I thought about may send this around to a few of my maybe more left-leaning friends who are starting to kind of be concerned about their party of association go out here sort of your exit ramp. Look what this person is saying nothing into a full-blown conservative Republican. But you can look at it from a different point of view and and I appreciate that we call, then about a joint take it to be a sheriff's office in Georgia on my want a Austin repacked after this the state calls us to go ahead all of you guys have been doing her thing is that quick question would also be offered in which he accepted a position in a GOP 2024 cabinet sequentially. We can ask she certainly qualified for number positions because of her military service which a lot of times gets overlooked is still okay because they try to imitate things.

She talks openly about the military-industrial complex.

Not always wanted to support these foreign expeditions for divorce against independent she is a joy the Republican Party know and but could you be in it, especially this new world of politics were depends on the position. Donald Trump is the Prez United States. It could be again. Yeah, I think it that things are on the table until he defends the position you when you listen to their terms of the first thing she mentions in the podcast attacks for the environment. I know that there a lot of views on that lot. A mixed reactions then start about war lookers allow conservatives who are still out there beating the drum for bullocks. It is a probably party split the million on that exited his have to Republican Party would Artie like to be born Ukraine right.

The other half is much more libertarian leaning a little bit isolationist lady little bit more like Pres. Trump of let's recommend first got much represented a good way listener like evacuate Afghanistan.

The way we did it cause more problems, but let's not be at constant war, which is what we are used to for's post 9/11 Wheat we been in this tool to ports in regions of the world were like again you turn off ramps finding those off ramps are not easy because you luckily the perfect place it's not is not rebuilding Germany with the Marshall plan. We talked about Afghanistan or Iraq for that matter, which is culturally different geographically different. It's not the West, and so when you leave it in the crystal put again this is all like happening in real time.

These changes in the Republican Party. It doesn't happen just one cycle. We will see if this idea. This idea comes that we talked about how UCI evangelicals were on the outside, looking in that we got a seat at the table that we took over and then it's kind of moved a little impasse that suits were even evangelicals may be artist hard line on a lot of cultural issues these days and it's more about like you said legs were about putting America first was that you are economy strong country individual freedom and liberty in and that's were seen as a kind of thing was not corporate welfare. There's a comedy came in from rubble. I think the suspect a lot of people because people watch that video is and maybe you're watching Belmar now weirdly maybe there watching some these other voices that are common suit and this will become.

It's a but I do like about Chelsea is that she's what Democrats used to be a long time ago, which is when the Qatar political differences that screaming or threats. Yet you listen to this podcast is very even keeled. There's no screaming, and it even when you disagree with her on situation look up up don't hundred percent lineup, but you can respect the fact that this is a coming out place of just chaos, which is what they want they want to stir up cattle both sides, one step just so you can find those things and what were doing the podcast right now is kind of finding that middle ground and being honest and truthful with people. That's what when I talked to tell CI she's an art or documentary series we did a revenge of the Taliban and she even said the next, political group and in younger voters. They're not necessarily looking party party they're looking for is this person at least telling me the truth the way they see it through them. The I lease will respect the fact that they believe what they're saying and that's hard to find yet so I think that that's with that bed, it's kind of maybe you're tied to just people who can be honest, at least tell you how they feel.

Even if you disagree with the alternate bill in Wyoming online to a bill ever wondering she felt but for getting the information when the wicked constituents they felt about this later Michelle, I'm sure bring up that kind of question, but going after her for the last two years and you look on social media.

I was flipping through it's the same stuff they were saying years ago is really about most. Remember Hillary Clinton, went after her when she was running. This is nothing new for firms that she poked the bear.

If I click share it, as it went to decider of the present.

She did poke the bear and I and listen.

One person can change significance people watch that happen in real time and they watch the way they basically also pushed her to the side of what we kind of give them that Satan said about Donald Trump on a more little bit micro more micro level, there is a mental see if they viewed it while Carline exactly right. Even if you are the debate stage like VP Harris, she could call Joe Biden racist and she tells her that to everything now being racialized and was a receipt, a lot of that that this past week with we talked about it on the ship, but the idea again, the Democrat party seems like to be the party that if you don't walk every point of our line.

If you don't stay in line. Then you your your out and she was making waves and she ran for President. People like to adding a lot of I do know she would've won what we saw them everything in the chat and sing the comments.

A lot of our listener said well I'm probably still devote for your present Trump or whoever was but I had to. She would be the one that I would go with and see that we mental a question like I do is asking in Hawaii.

She is now independent and it is state like that, which is a pretty independent state it's in very unique and she sported raise their I would imagine it's probably not as difficult if you wanted to add that I don't know she wants to go back into a leg at holiday thing right now.

Some of our shillelagh cabinet this but if you're already thinking that way about bringing someone right onto your team and I think she… She spent a year or more talking directly to conservatives.

Yeah, this is nice, but having of the new podcast a little one day for pocket. We recently had coming at some point it seemed like it has a good weight loss podcast. A good way to get attention when it is this millions of people now who have Artie seen her statement and loosing that happened already.

Just last few hours, but like you said what I should have good about podcasting and we drove podcast as well. Secular brothers are proscribed that is it gives you a chance every week.

Typically, if not multiple times a week to hear extended conversation with the someone who you may consider for a Presidential runner so that whether that's the 10 cruisers also covered the other on the record for hours at a time we have going on this issue since we podcasting can really be help you. But even Ferguson visited the my wedding.

That's kind is in his is can be cohosted at the cruise fog is very cool to take it to the next level and then you have all the record hours of content to go back and check on pretty much every issue yet. You shouldn't be surprised by who they are right and I think that's a that's cool because it was pretty hard to use that mail in three minutes. Okay, just just can't answer like it would take your calls record as to what is next top Saudi Arabia Sosa Gabbard second half hour notice point sit on with Saudi Arabia's, the administration you to stop your watch of the broadcaster.

If you're listening you are a commercial break with your watch the broadcasters play the slew of Democrat they are in line on this message, cutting off military aid to Sally's maybe we don't want our military on the ground there. She think about with all the different conflicts and I know they're upset about the OPEC movement. If there's a question of was about how much was about the United States. How much was about current administration and where it's kinda placed the United States or the Ricker now.

Our senior vies for foreign-policy national security so Rick right off the bat at a just elated. There's a lot of turmoil in the world.

I know that they're not happy about this OPEC move that speaks a lot to how they view the Biden administration and then coursed and how you United States but just give the first what I say is we put ourselves in the situation where they could even have this kind of power over the United States to say were to cut 2000 barrels a day that could send this into your massive inflation and gas prices. The other thing that I would say the Biden administration put us into this dilemma. They are the ones who picked a fight with the Saudi's in the beginning.

Remember to that. The Senate Democrats have made strategic mistakes over the last two years they dropped the sanctions Trump sanctions on the Nordstrom to pipeline the Russian pipeline when the Senate Democrats dropped the sanctions they said this was the debtor past this was a better policy because we didn't want to stick it in the eye of Russia and that caused a war in Ukraine. Remember to the Senate Democrats worked with the Biden administration to remove the hood with these from the terrorist watchlist and what happened. We immediately saw a war where the who. These were shooting missiles at the UAE. So now we have Senate Democrats coming forward and saying block our relationship with the Saudi's. This is yet another example of their strategic blunders. We should absolutely not do this and we should absolutely not follow the path of the disastrous ideas that the Senate Democrats put forward that caused the war in Ukraine. For God sake Rick you can. It's kind of easy I think to Americans. If you know you could demonize Saudi Arabia in the kingdom.

He dated the family and and all these different aspects, but I think when you actually learn about how much how involved we are there with military bases with shared military equipment when it comes like global and international issues or regional issues in the Middle East at their very close. Part I probably it is a stretch to say that they be the closest major military partner after Israel in the region will look to their one day partners that we absolutely need to work on and let me be very blunt after the Khashoggi incident. We absolutely pushed the Saudi's and punished the Saudi's in the Trump administration and make sure that they understood that this was a terrible mistake that was going to greatly impact our relations, we improved on that. I think that there was a huge improvement and we were trying to set a new course in our relationship, and then the Biden team came in and Abraham Sue is the director of national intelligence, repackaged the entire portfolio on Khashoggi and released it like it was new information.

It wasn't new information. It was a strategic way for them.

The Biden team to message to the Iranians that they were going to beat up on the Saudi's because they wanted to have new negotiations with Iran, meanwhile, were seen Iran get worse with human rights abuses, and this Biden team continues to negotiate with them on a nuclear deal. This is yet another blunder in the Middle East by the Biden team and Senate Democrats. We should absolutely do the opposite of what they're saying to me, I would say after this OPEC move.

It would be with an ally like this who does have a lot they rely on the US for lot for security and your for the equipment they use their military equipment and it's not exactly, just a 2 Way St. there but instead of trying to rebuild that relationship. That is behind the scene strategically uniting around that the common enemy in Iran. Instead, it cease playing this out publicly just another issue. I think where the American people got your arena have another disaster. This is like how many on the list. Can we handle at a time when you it doesn't say that this is the best administration to be bouncing all these at the same time. What we see in history from the Biden administration of the weapon.

I zine government against their political enemies.

And this is yet another example, we've seen an weapon eyes. The DOJ we see him weapon eyes the FBI the IRS when they don't like someone they use the tools of government to go after them. So now what happened is they began to Sally's OPEC deal. The Saudi said no. And what if they do they throw tender tantrum and they say well now were in a completely freeze everything because we didn't get our way there weapon I zine diplomacy now and in this is just a childish behavior. Again, the Senate Democrats dropped the sanctions on the Russian pipeline. The trauma sanctions on the Russian pipeline they dropped him and what happened was worn Ukraine. If we were energy independent one. This decision would've been the same kind of impact.

Second, I feel like that also would gives us more leverage over countries like Saudi Arabia who ultimately are looking down the road to say they got to figure out a post oil economic structure to for them and yet when we become so dependent on the world and we seen so many mixed signals. Rick is going to Venezuela to continue Chevron's going back in there and lifted sanctions on them at the same time were punishing and their allied with Iran and then we were punishing the Saudi's because we do like their OPEC decision when our putting them in and say that they are prudent and to me it just it just appears like like what you said these are our self-inflicted self-inflicted blunders I mean that this didn't have to happen this way or so when you look at the policies of Pres. from and getting us off Middle East oil. He was very successful in telling the Middle East we don't win a major oil weird or going to be energy independent and working to be an energy exporter that went over like a lead balloon in the Middle East because they love the leverage that they used to get from being able to to put one over on the United States.

With gas prices. Pres. Trump completely changed that Joe Biden put us back into that he made us the hold into Middle East oil again by canceling the XL pipeline and by making sure that we're not energy independent by drilling and making our own energy and and producing our own energy and so now what we see is is were back to the old ways where we have to bag the Middle East leaders or some sort of gasped and they're saying they don't want to give us the gifts were back to two putting ourselves into this leverage. Again, we gotta get out of it recruit fathers closely because I think this is one educate people about it. The relationship the strategic relationship. The importance because it was cited quickly try to demonize development. Real 9/11 again when it's fixed their narrative that they're trying to blame someone else for where we are and gas prices. Rick is always, we appreciate your insight on secular Rick was part of the ACLJ team and when these issues I mean this just happened were able to bring Rick writing gets you up to speed as it impacts sending that the OPEC decision impacts all of us driving the strategic, of course, military relationship, there which hopefully was able to build a bear so we don't have to go to large and have receipts cutting thrown out the window very quickly and everybody on the different parties in line saying you time to stop sales time to think the relationship and I don't think there's enough educational that is coming easy to say about that within not explain why two months ago. The present was there will be right back on secular pulsing ever joining for decades.

ACLJ had been on the frontlines protecting your freedom is defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member thinking. If you're not well this is the perfect time to stand with us, ACLJ.org, where you can learn more about her life changing become a member today ACLJ keeping you informed and now is Jordan secular. The second verse secular supposed to miss its commitment for short segment pulsing ever joining us alive big announcement today.

She left the Democratic Party as she walked through it about a 30 minute enter new podcast about why is use that podcast can walk through the different issues that have brought her to this kind of twenty-year move where she entered politics and it is about 21 years old so you I relate to that different side of the aisle politically but also just it is change a lot at the publican party, the Democrat party and also what it means to be an independent where a lot of Americans they find themselves in them fully alive necessarily underpins the time with either party, but certainly you trim one way and so were to talk to her about all that coming up to share the broadcasts with your friends and family. If you get to watch the broadcast online. Whether it's on rumble, Facebook, YouTube, and make sure to share and that my data be joining us as well afford that interview so you deftly want to check that out at ACLJ actually just to remind his final day on the VA comment and it was had over 11,000 folks take part in that I but I encourage you if you want to get your comment in remove the VA try to open up for abortions and almost in the way try to act as if they would perform elective abortions. They did get into detail, but they bragged about the first time they they they did what they put that VA secretary forward on that so you talk about what we want you to take action on that doesn't cost you a thing. We got the tool in place where you can get the comment into the federal government they have to respond to. So the more comments the better and and wheat. We've got three loaded text there, but we encourage you to write 3 to 4 of your own senses to take it just a couple minutes of your time.

That's it. ACLJ action.org ACLJ action.org an outcome enough to work with talk to toasty and then really a new issue with Iran as well. I would just talk with Rick now all the issues that we've been covering today on this Saudi Arabia cut of this and it was obviously planned this, we need to check our relationship and they we should stop by your selling military crib at the list goes on and on and on and on and he saw we had the clips of all the different Democrat senators repeating the same line the John Kirby started came out with which I get interesting look at where the time the world where do we really want to be reassessing relationships that may not be perfect but they were still working relationship your calling out publicly between countries you work with how much of that before you start pushing those countries to again take different actions to protect themselves reasonable over the they're nervous about a nuclear Iran and to end the news. This ministration has taken, so I think that Geordie is now 100 684 30 wanted to be part of the show dead toasty that it is good to be joining us in the next thing brought his acute huge day for her billions have Artie seen, heard, short video on twitter that of course a new podcast launching today as well, but taking the brave step to leave the Democrat party which means that to leave all the mechanics that come with that as well. We have also put in the perspective that this is Chelsea was a Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party on the rise during those debates. If you remember, and as you said earlier in the broadcasts when she was getting popular when her popularity was increasing, and retention was increasing for the Holocene came after her aggressively. Now you know you know this, of course, we know the Gabbard family for my goodness, three decades almost and I represented her dad in Hawaii years ago so we know this family well, but it's a very big news day. This is a very big decision for her to leave the Democratic Party but also becoming independence got some other announcements to so I'm looking forward to having the conversation right folks to get we want to share this with your friends and family very clear they were able to do this at today on the broadcast way that she's making a lot of news online and, of course, in that both sides of the aisle. Not to say the least. So share with your friends and family I you don't miss Tulsa Gabbard On secular was always weaker to get ACLJ.if you can support the work ACLJ I think the show shows you remember your record of discuss this at issue right away pulsing average or is the day she leaves the party and makes a big announcement that she did this morning asking joining us on the right back on secular to have a Tulsa Gabbard Tracy today that big announcement from toasty on leaving the Democrat party should launch a new podcast as well to walk people through the suit toasty. I appreciate you Geordie Stallard big day for you, exciting music retweeted right was up this morning here on the eastern side of the country that my first question to you I limited my dad both first question to you. You talk about the cowardly wildness and I talked to folks at you all the time of the corporate world and it's like every day tiptoeing around every issue because you don't even know what's coming. The next day we better change your entire way of thought. Your title the language you use the words you use and source, suddenly you're on the outside looking in.

Yeah, you know that that's exactly right in and what is that what is that really point to a point to the fundamental problem with today's Democratic Party, which is their positive freedom at they don't support freedom of thought, they don't support you no critical thinking, they don't support freedom of speech and and and given these are the principles that make up the foundation of our country and our Constitution and in their diametrically opposed to them and actively seeking to undermine those freedoms. Religious liberty being one of them. This is the problem and this is why so many people are walking around on eggshells because it's not enough that they are attacking our right to free speech are freedom of religion. If anyone dares to step outside the line if everyone and if anyone even dares to question their logic or their narrative of their argument they are immediately attacked and smeared in some cases their livelihoods or threatened their ability to support themselves and their families. It is antithetical to who we are as Americans. And the vision that our founders had for this country and and therefore poses a direct danger and threat to our democracy. That got absolutely totality I said earlier in the broadcast from when I was on just the Jordan that you know and you and your family for my goodness a long time.

Finally, many decades and this is it a very appropriate time to say something to around looking at Germany before, but when we were recovering the debates we all said on-air that in the Democrat debates that you were you were really taking it you are really doing a great job and when we ask people who were thinking about if they weren't voting for Donald Trump, who would either favorite candidate think it would pick one of the 20 Republicans that were running everybody missing Tulsa Gabbard so this eight year talk you always kind of in an outside of what I would call you know party speak and extend nearly speaking your mind in which is great so but leaving the party that and leaving the apparatus is a big decision then and just for a moment. I think it would be great to share with our audience around the country and around the world are listening on our social media platforms. What was the what was the process like because this is obviously a big decision you ran for President and the Democratic Party just a few years ago and now you're leaving that party yet year.

You're exactly right Jane, I appreciate being able to be here and to talk with you guys this morning. You know, frankly, because of the work that you dedicated your life you dedicated your life to defending freedom it in a lot of different circumstances. And that's really what this decision came down to is that today's Democratic Party is, is controlled by you know the decent woke warmongering elites who hate freedom. Whether were talking about freedom of speech, freedom of religion. They have no respect for our civil liberties. They don't they don't recognize that there is such a thing as truth and so when you look at all of these things put together you can see how insane today's Democratic Party has become. I think there a lot of folks a lot of Democrats across the country who have been increasingly concerned over time, as I have been about the direction that they're taking this country in and are wondering hate what what can I do to try to be a part of the solution, which is why she that call to action. Join me leave this insane woke crazy and dangerous Democratic Party and let's take a stand to put country first fight for freedom fight for our fellow Americans. God-given rights that are enshrined in our Constitution that they seek to try to take away your you experienced that that demonization or attempt to demonize and I always remind people, now you're outspoken and clear with your views and not afraid of these party apparatus is pleased to serve our country.

To this day, and went with these these accusations that get thrown nearly what we all see it.

We've its online but you still willing to take that Stan and me how much of it because I was out pie the other side of the aisle, spent most of my life work in the Republican Party and that you do get to portray think a case is still where I belong and so you went through that that process and what what is it like what you can think of your former constituents what you what you hear for them as our more than feeling that way as well. Like a baby taking that it may be an independent route. Initially running to join another party but so you know it. Let's take a step back and talk through the issues and intern. I've always been. I've always been an independent minded person say even as I joined the Democratic Party 20 years ago and throughout the time that I've served in various public offices from city Council to statehouse to Congress than running for President I have maintained that independent minded been an independent Democrat and so you know whether it's people who I had the privilege of serving here in Hawaii colleagues in Congress people who actually know me understand that that my loyalty is to our country and the Constitution as it always has been and is so taking this step really is a recognition again of what is most important to me in my life.

I love our country and I I have dedicated my entire adult life to serving our country into it to defending those freedoms other than uniform or in public office, and and this is this is fulfilling continuing to fulfill my commitment to do that and and like I said, I think there are a lot of folks whether it's a people here in Hawaii are people who I've worked with. I've heard from across the country who share these concerns that like you said, are too afraid to say anything which is so sad when you think about it that here we are the United States of America that supposed to be this beacon of freedom for the country after the world and yet Americans are afraid to voice their opinions or to think independently. Outside of one party line or another that is what has to change and I hope that people were seeing my my, what I'm doing and listening to what I'm saying will feel emboldened and inspired to take that stand themselves.

Let's talk about your podcast because this is obviously a new venture and something were really excited about and happy that to promote and weeping getting your voice having your voice out in that venue in that platform podcast platforms. A great idea. So I want to start with that that launches Teleglobe about that and I met a SK political question yesterday. I've been wanting to put together a podcast online show for a long time. I really because the limitations of the mainstream media are real. The demonization thing is real, their ability to control and narrative is real. So even on a good day.

If you go on live television. Your lucky get 4 1/2 minutes to make your point about like the greatest threat to democracy that we face like my gosh Patty talk about that in four minutes and so being able to out to have my own show where there's no time limits. There is no corporate boss telling me what I can and can't say I really provide that opportunity to share my thoughts and views to go in-depth on different issues and challenges we face in to have really interesting conversations with people about those and I'm grateful to you Jay. We recorded and an incredible conversation about religious liberty and freedom that I'm I'm excited to share with our listeners and our viewers for the Tulsa Gabbard show which is on YouTube rumble and on all audio podcasts forms is with great political question. There is a we've got a situation in Eastern Europe that is a war on. Unfortunately, the United States policy is very hard to define.

We've got an economy that is teetering right now and then you look at the oil and gas situation in energy costs are exorbitant as our food costs. All of these issues are happening at some would say when you left the political process, but the truth is your your voice will be much more amplified outside but how what point we at in America right now as you see it as you launch your podcast as you leave the Democratic Party. We see the country as I know for you. That's first the country is it is and and regardless of whether people identify the Democrat or Republican, independent libertarian, whatever it is, the reality is there a lot of Americans across the country who are struggling for all of the reasons that you talking out with it inflation or i.e., no rising gas prices. All of these different things. It comes down to a failure of leadership, a failure of leadership that that is what we see when we look at the White House and in Washington is selfish politicians who care more for their own power, winning the next race than they do about actually fighting for peace, fighting for prosperity for the American people and upholding and protecting our freedoms we can change that.

We got to cast our votes in the coming election and make sure our voice is heard and vote for the right people who will fight for us and for the Constitution, folks. You can learn about everything.

The Tolstoy is Tulsa Gabbard.com so the podcasts of stack to get us all available there so I get high perjury by to go there and to share with your friends. If it was time is my brother's house is able to reach people that were not able to reach in and talk about these issues directly to Tulsa Gabbard.com. We appreciate Tulsa join us on the such big news day after her big decision to leave Harding Tulsa Gabbard.com will be right back to secular so it was great to have Tulsa Gabbard on some of the issues that were talking about today getting into specifics on Saudi Arabia earlier that that announcement by John Kirby, the bind administration ended of slew of Democrat senators you know that we need to get fundamentally alter that relationship really putting on the line segment which should sell of equipment anymore meet in a way because the OPEC decision and I thought would with Ricker now and Rick really separated the idea for but you know one all these countries are looking out for themselves and there there we put them back in this situation where they have this leverage that they didn't have under the Trump administration when it came to oil and an energy so you had to work together in it in a more's cooperative way of security, weighing almost more like a closer alliance and I know that people here Saudi Arabia.

They think are those the bad guys but if you really go through our military bases there are the equipment and our shared interest in a real enemy of the region. Iraq which you know if if you say Israel's head of the front burner when it comes to Iranian propaganda talk.

Saudi Arabia is a close 2nd to 2 there's there if there you know at their second enemy in the region and they fund just like they do with Israel funding terror groups to it like Hezbollah and Hamas to working with them to attack Israel. They also do that in Saudi Arabia working with the Hutu rebel so that issues at play. But then there's the bigger issue, which is, I thought we were building a coalition.

Owner West Smith on this Martin a subject W. Wheatley Ave. report of the IEA on Iran's centrifuge. This is what the IEA does know about their underground facility in the town's but before you get to that specific we were building this alliance with the through the Abraham records of of defense against Iran in the region, not just the Western world, but in the Middle East to say, such as giving the US and Israel to be the US Israel about every other country that region, especially the major economic players in that region who have pretty serious military capabilities of their own exactly and it was remarkable progress, remarkable progress in the last of years. Here's the thing Pres. Biden and his administration. They have a penchant and is not a good one for declaring political war.

Anyone who does not see the world the way they see it to anyone who do who does not agree with him. For example, to his political opponents in our own country. He can't just disagree with him.

He demonizes them there fascists yelling there there immoral their corrupt. He also declares political war owned his parents who attend school board meetings on pro-life Americans and crisis pregnancy centers.

He declared war. His first day in office on the US fossil fuel industry and now he's basically declaring political war on our most important ally in the Middle East after Israel what it will do, it will push not only Saudi Arabia, it will push our other Gulf Arab allies into the arms of Russia and China. If they don't stop this.

I can't believe the rhetoric I'm hearing from some Democrat senators and from the President and his administration that they're actually willing to sacrifice a country that is so important to our intelligence to her own national security to Israel's national security. Saudi Arabia is is our chief ally in opposing Iran and they're going to latest on the line and what makes it even more ironic and crazy is that we have and we have more oil and gas under the ground in America than Saudi Arabia does going.

We are energy independent. So he declares war on our own industry.

And then when our other ally in the same industry doesn't keep lockstep with him and there's a reason for that. I'm he he he call the nation of Saudi Arabia pariah when he was campaigning and then his first week in office, he temporarily suspended arms sales to Saudi Arabia while they were being attacked by the Hutu rebels and while they were there. This looming threat of a ran it at the same time. So now you know he's doing the same thing again.

It absolutely makes no sense. What I call it Jordan is his bull in a china closet, diplomacy, and he's done it repeatedly face if there truly an ally and negativism. You always agree with you are an ally usually takes these spats private yes and you could be really tough by the states essay of the expert.

We we saw what you did it OPEC we we don't agree on everything, but here's the consequences adheres instead of having every Democrat Sen. go out and with the same talking point yell 80s really elope cutting off his nose. America's nose to to spite his face. This pushing Saudi Arabia away from us is not good for America is not good for Saudis is not good for the Middle East. Let's talk to people about this report out of Iraq. This I get what we we we always tell folks that that the problem that additional nuclear deal and and divide mistress to try to get one now even while the there putting down protests killed another young person there, but there nuclear they have not stopped. They do not pause and so they continued on and now they've got this set. This is what we do know this is what we know about what's going on inside as so their underground facilities. Yeah, no tots.

In particular, which is always had facilities above ground, and underneath round US and Israeli intelligence revealed just last month that they are doing a vast expansion of the tots underground with a network of connecting tunnels that will be able to withstand a nuclear attack or a bunker busting bomb as they call them, so they're expanding that for Dell already has underground facilities that are very similar to that. And while they're doing that.

The IAEA revealed just this week that these new generation centrifuges, which they used to enrich uranium. They have put in so many of those they have over a thousand centrifuges and the tats alone IEA earlier this year revealed that they already possess enough uranium to construct their first nuclear bomb. The only thing that was lacking was enriching it to 90%, which is weapons grade level. It they the original JCP away limited it to 3.76% there at 60% now 90% is weapons grade and the IAEA says they can they can go from 60 to 90% and have a nuclear bomb in a matter of weeks. I was thinking about it. Today we are today with a ran where President Clinton was with North Korea in the 1990s President Clinton like Joe Biden vowed that North Korea will never have a nuclear weapon and they'll bow it ministration came up with the joint comprehensive plan of action. The JCP like to stop a ramp of President Clinton's program was called the joint framework agreement and they gave North Korea all kinds of sanctions, relief and all kinds of benefits and cash in aid and by the time Clinton left office and George W. Bush was inaugurated. North Korea announced they had their first nuclear weapon we are following that same course with a ran we are slow learners when it comes to this. And when when they go there. Then they get treated like a door through which is a much different approach because we could say that this is how they treat their people watcher nuclear power weapons power yes you you the world has to treat if it changes the game and it will put Israel in the entire Middle East under the threat of a nuclear armed Iran and it appears this administration is so naïve about it and they when they've had the chance. In the previous administration to present Obama when they had the chance to stop it. They have not done so right folks is always loving her to go to ACLJ.org I hope you share this broadcast.
