Tulsi Gabbard

And it's not one election, snap of the fingers, okay, we're done.

It's not like, oh, if we only get through this election, everything is going to be fine.

No, that's unfortunately not the way it works in the world that we live in.

It requires that constant engagement, that constant accountability, that constant ownership, that individual ownership of the responsibility that goes along with the individual liberty that is enshrined in our Constitution.

If we just sit back and think like, okay, it's America, we will lose those freedoms and our individual liberty, and we already are.

So the call to action is not just, well, yeah, maybe someday I'll pay attention.

The time is now because the forces of darkness, the forces of evil, the forces who are trying to take away freedom,

our fundamental God-given rights and freedoms, they are moving forward at full force.

And my sincere concern is that if too many of us are complacent in this election and don't realize what's at stake,

and kamala harris is allowed to become president kamala harris she will continue to do the bidding of the unelected people who have been making decisions in our country certainly over these last three and a half years that are all centered around how do they remain in power then

we will get to a point where we won't recognize the country that we live in and that our freedoms will be so eroded that it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to get them back.

i'm just so glad with that me too i'm really grateful um i'm grateful to now actually know you it's like these things where you listen to somebody on a podcast you watch them on youtube you you get a pretty good sense of who they are which is why these podcasts are great it's it's not just a sound bite uh but i i am so grateful that that you invited me to come here and to actually know you thank you that means a lot and um

So many. Central to those lessons learned was having my eyes open to the very real cost of war. Of course, I served in a medical unit during that first deployment to Iraq. It was 2005 during the height of that war. And unfortunately, we took a lot of casualties. We, across the entire U.S. military, my brigade that I deployed with was from the Hawaii National Guard,

we had approximately 3,000 soldiers who were operating in four different areas of Iraq. And my first task every day was to go through a list of every combat-related injury that had occurred the day before in the country. And I went through that list name by name, looking to see if any one of our Nearly 3,000 soldiers from Hawaii had been hurt in the line of duty.

And then if seeing them on the list, tracking them down, where were they? Were they getting the care they needed? Would they be able to get sufficient care to stay in country and return to duty? Did I need to get them evacuated? Usually it would be to military hospitals that at that time were in Landstuhl and Ramstein in Germany.
