The following is a conversation with Tulsi Gabbard, who was a longtime Democrat, including being the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. She endorsed Bernie in 2016 and Biden in 2020. She has been both loved and heavily criticized for her independent thinking and bold political stances, especially on topics of war and the military-industrial complex. She served in the U.S. military for many years, achieving the rank of lieutenant colonel. And now she's the author of a new book called For Love of Country. And now, a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got Riverside for recording remote podcasts, ExpressVPN for security and privacy on the interwebs, NetSuite for business management software, and Notion for note-taking and team collaboration. Choose wisely, my friends. Also, If you want to work with our amazing team or just get in touch with me, go to lexfriedman.com slash contact. And now, on to the full ad reads.
As always, no ads in the middle. I try to make these interesting, but if you skip them, please still check out the sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This episode is brought to you by an oldie but a goodie, Riverside. Riverside FM, the platform that makes it easy for podcasts and media companies to record remotely in studio quality. I use them to record remote podcasts. I usually don't record remote podcasts, but I have done a few. And the experience there is just effortless, flawless, super high quality in terms of audio, in terms of video, super easy on the guest side. Everything is just wonderful. Aside from sort of the basic thing that this is a great way to record remote podcasts, they have so many features. They got AI transcription.
They got text-based editor. They got multi-track sync to make sure everything is aligned and synced. Man, that's a hellhole that you want technology to help you avoid. And they do wonderfully, the syncing of everything together. It kind of makes me want to do more remote podcasts because for certain kinds of guests, being there in person is not as essential as for certain others. Whenever there's chemistry and the dynamic kind of wit and banter and back and forth and the... sort of the dance, the music of conversation and so on, being in person is really nice. But when it's really intense and heated, not necessarily in the argument there in the room, but on the weight and the heaviness of the topic, then sometimes being in the room is nice.
Plus there's something that's difficult to describe that's not present with certain guests when it's remote. But I think with others, You can have a hell of a good conversation, especially when you're doing like a debate or multiple people. Just getting them in the room together, as I had to do for the Israel-Palestine debate, is really tough. So I should probably do more remote conversations. And I record my remote interviews with Riverside. Give it a try at Riverside.fm and use code Lex for 30% off. That's Riverside.fm and use code Lex. This episode is also brought to you by ExpressVPN. I've used them for many, many, many, many years to protect my privacy and the internet. I think everybody should be using a VPN for many reasons.
One, it can allow you to geographically transport yourself. But the main reason is it just adds this extra layer of security and privacy. When you use incognito mode on Chrome and go to all the shady websites that you go to, yeah, I'm talking to you. I know what you do. And so does the NSA. So does everybody. Anyway, you want to protect yourself as much as possible. The low hanging fruit of protection is the VPN and use a great VPN. The one I've always used, the one I highly recommend is ExpressVPN. They're like the big one. Works everywhere. Any operating system, including Linux, is super fast, super easy to use. What else do you want? Go to expressvpn.com slash LexPod for an extra three months free.
This episode is also brought to you by NetSuite, an all-in-one cloud business management system, aka ERP system, enterprise resource planning. It's the machine inside the machine. No, it's the universal language that connects the different modules within the machine of a company. For some reason, I really enjoy talking about a company as a machine. Maybe that's the engineering perspective.
