Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Kelly, welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We have a very special program for you this morning all about Tulsi Gabbard. When I first met Tulsi, she was still a Democrat, and it was early on in her career. When she first came on this show, we didn't even have video. It was an audio-only podcast, and you could hear her with the birds tweeting in the background from her home state of Hawaii and the two of us. were wondering what our next move was in life. This podcast was fledgling. She had been ostracized by the Democrats and the Democrat Party. And here we are five years later, both in very different places.

She's now running at the top of 18 intelligence agencies. And I'm down here interviewing her at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. So many did not want her to get this post because while Hillary Clinton and others accused her of being Putin's puppet, et cetera, what crushes them about Telsey Gabbard is she's no one's puppet. She won't be bought. She won't be bullied. And she won't be cowed in saying how she really feels by the military industrial complex or anyone else. So we just completed a fascinating hour-long talk about so many different things. It's Tulsi, like you've seen her a bit before, you know, still straightforward and moving and honest in her commentary, but in a brand new, really big role. Enjoy.

As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollars in your savings potentially.

Yes. So we're sitting here in the lobby of the buildings known as Liberty Crossing of the Office of Director of National Intelligence. This organization was formed because of the disaster of the intelligence community that led, that could have prevented the attack on 9-11 had there been a integration of intelligence had the CIA been talking to the FBI and all of these different people who had different pieces of information but weren't talking to and sharing that information intelligence with each other followed by the the intelligence failure of the Iraq war that ultimately led to the creation of this organization so we're sitting here in the lobby this is the very first interview that's ever been done in this lobby and potentially in this building anywhere so I'm honored it's a special
