Tulsi Gabbard

I was grateful to be able to have the opportunity to just immediately address those who work here, intelligence professionals, analysts, people who are subject matter experts in different areas, some of the support staff who are here and kind of keep the lights on.

And they gave me a very warm welcome, and I laid out who I am, my background, and the mandate that the American people delivered by electing Donald Trump and why I'm here. The purpose that we all are here for, to serve the American people, to ensure their safety, security, and freedom, first and foremost. And let me just tell you this. I got a number of notes.

I told them, let me know what you think is going right. Let me know what you think needs fixing. You can find my email address. You can find my number. And I started to get notes from people, one of which came from a guy who has worked here since its founding. And it really, I'll never forget it because he said, not once has any other director ever come and done anything like this.

And second, he said, I'm so happy that you're here and the changes that you seek to make. Now I can finally breathe.

Wow, so a simple gesture of coming and saying, this is who I am, I look forward to working with you to serve our country, to refocus the intelligence community back on its core mission, to get rid of the distractions,

The weaponization and all of the other noise that has undermined the trust that the American people may have had long ago in the intelligence community, it just speaks to the vacuum of that leadership that unfortunately has existed for so long.

Yeah. Well, I'm sure there are people who work here and within the Intelligence Committee community who probably don't think or speak very kindly of me either, specifically because, again, through the president's leadership and the mandate of the American people, I know exactly what I need to do here and how deep the rot is within the intelligence community that has to be rooted out here.

So, yes, bringing about transparency and accountability, shining a light in areas that haven't seen the light in a very long time, if ever, really pushing for the declassification of documents that the president has listed in several of his executive orders, and reminding people here especially in the area of declassification. There's so much protection.
