The Tulsi Gabbard Show

Our pride in who we are as a country should not rise and fall based on whether ‘our team’ is in the White House. Days like July 4th should inspire us to stand up for our freedom, to support and defend our constitution, and strive for that more perfect union

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Happy 4th of July! #IndependenceDay

You may think "Can I make an impact, given all the challenges we face?" While we may not know the exact path forward, where it may lead, or how it will end, that doesn’t matter so much as having the courage to stand up and say: I'm here to serve.

It saddens and angers me that many of my former colleagues so easily dismiss the importance of the liberties guaranteed to all Americans under the Constitution, as though it is optional/disposable. Such freedom is the essence of what makes America America, and the source of our unity.

Denying the biological differences between men and women not only threaten women's rights, it threatens our safety. Not only are we shutting women out of competitive sports, we are also shaming girls into silence in the face of abuse and harassment.

We celebrate today’s Supreme Court decision to protect our right to religious freedom and speech (Kennedy v. Bremerton School District) given to us by God and recognized in the US Constitution. “Separation of church & state” doesn’t mean excising religious and spiritual values from our society.

The Biden Administration is undermining our democracy by weaponizing law enforcement to go after political opponents, believing the “end justifies the means.” These are characteristics of a dictatorship/banana republic—not a democracy.

The quickest way to destroy a century of hard won progress in women's rights is to erase the existence of women as a category of people. Men and women have biological and physiological differences. This is objective reality—relevant to sports and all areas of life.

The Supreme Court’s ruling regarding concealed carry is a strong step forward in upholding 2nd Amendment & our constitutional right to defend ourselves. 10 years ago, there was a credible threat against my life by a man who knew where I lived and worked, and wanted to kill me by cutting my head off. I informally asked a high-level leader in the Honolulu Police Department whether or not they would approve a concealed carry permit for me if I applied, given the threat on my life. He said, “To tell you the truth—no.” Like New York, HAW has a process to apply for a concealed carry license, very rarely, if ever, are they granted, even if there is a compelling need. Because of the law, I could not defend myself. Capitol Police deemed the threat serious enough to provide me with a security detail until he was eventually caught/convicted and served time in Federal prison. But an ordinary person would not get such protection and have no way to protect themselves. Restrictive laws are put in place by politicians who don’t like or respect the 2nd Amendment, so they enact highly restrictive gun laws that on a practical level, take away our rights altogether. Today’s ruling will help protect the American people from anti-2nd Amendment zealots States and uphold our Constitutional rights. Clarence Thomas summed up what’s at the core of this issue in the majority opinion of this ruling: “The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not ‘a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.’ The exercise of other constitutional rights does not require individuals to demonstrate to government officers some special need. The Second Amendment right to carry arms in public for self-defense is no different.”

Too many Democrats and Republicans talk a good game about civil liberties and claim to stand for freedom -- but when it comes time to vote on protecting our civil liberties and right to privacy, they vote on the side of the power elite, and against liberty.

Anyone who cares about protecting the health of the American people and our environment will appreciate the Supreme Court’s decision to hold the giant pesticide corporation (Bayer) accountable for blatant disregard for people’s health, lives, and our environment.

Yoga has impacted my life in the most profound way. There are many powerful physical benefits but it’s so much more than that. It’s a way of life, a consciousness & worldview that can inspire peace, respect, care for one another & our planet.

“Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” -Thomas Jefferson

Good step forward: FINA (swimming’s world governing body) just voted to ban most trans “women” from competition. But unfortunately men who “transitioned” “before age 12” will be allowed to compete. This may encourage boys to “transition” before they are old enough to make such a dangerous life-altering decision. FINA should follow the fair and safest policy: NO biological men should be allowed to compete against biological women. Period.

The US govt continued prosecution of #Assange is indefensible & a direct attack on freedom of the press & freedom of speech. His extradition & prosecution sets a precedent that the government will use to target any journalist, any American, for publishing info they don’t like.

We must stand together, make our voices heard and hold leaders accountable. Force our leaders in Washington to keep their oath, uphold the Constitution and take action to restore and protect our freedoms. If not, they don’t deserve the honor of the office they hold.

The Washington Post is supposedly about news and facts. Yet they're so concerned with cancel culture that they'll suspend a guy for retweeting a joke, but won't suspend one of their journalists for knowingly printing factually inaccurate articles.

Biden said he's "never been more optimistic" for our country than he is now. He's been around a long time. Either he's making a bad joke or he's unaware that he's currently the President of a country where people can't afford groceries, gas and a mortgage on a full-time income

At Washington Post, you can print factually incorrect, biased propaganda - but they draw the line at retweeting a dumb joke. MSM priorities are so twisted and out of sync with the American people, it's just sad to see what our media has become.

Whistleblower docs reveal the Ministry of Truth (Disinformation Board) lied to Congress about their capabilities & plans. For intelligence agencies to work w/ Big Tech to target American citizens is flatly unconstitutional, dictatorial and should be brought to the Supreme Court

Regardless of our politics, race, religion, and income bracket, the most important thing to all of us is our safety and that of our loved ones. I commend San Francisco voters for taking a stand and voting out DA Boudin for his soft-on-crime policies.

The Jan 6 hearings are nothing more than a “show trial” to try to distract our attention away from the serious issues that face our country.

When starving peasants in France couldn't afford bread, Marie Antoinette told them to eat cake. When American citizens can't afford to fill up our gas tank, Debbie Stabenow and Pete Buttigieg tell us to buy an electric vehicle. Totally out of touch.

Gov. Hochul's new mandated "pronoun policy" for SUNY campuses is another example of “woke" fascism, where our universities are being used to indoctrinate rather than educate. This is not about inclusivity, this is about forced conformity.

The so-called January 6 hearings are nothing more than a “show trial” to try to distract our attention away from the serious issues that face our country—from open borders, inflation, out of control crime, and the very real threat of nuclear war.
