you re ░░░░░░░░ office for a long ░░░░░░░░ you sort of get ░░░░░░░░ Um and they they ░░░░░░░░ start stop seeing the ░░░░░░░░ people sometimes gt gt ░░░░░░░░ gt gt And and ░░░░░░░░ you re a little ░░░░░░░░ and by the way ░░░░░░░░ re usually coming like ░░░░░░░░ they have off So ░░░░░░░░ you know we d ░░░░░░░░ like half a Thanksgiving ░░░░░░░░ and then you d ░░░░░░░░ the update well the ░░░░░░░░

hello to ░░░░░░░░ little people sometimes So ░░░░░░░░ it really affects how ░░░░░░░░ run my life as ░░░░░░░░ senator gt gt Okay ░░░░░░░░ gt Yeah gt gt ░░░░░░░░ And keep that in ░░░░░░░░ gt gt Keep that ░░░░░░░░ mind gt gt Yeah ░░░░░░░░ a lot of the ░░░░░░░░ sort of conspiratorally minded ░░░░░░░░ out there like to ░░░░░░░░ that um some of ░░░░░░░░ trouble the United States ░░░░░░░░ is because of the ░░░░░░░░ they call the deep ░░░░░░░░ gt gt right gt ░░░░░░░░ Okay And as a ░░░░░░░░ uh spy is there ░░░░░░░░ is there a deep ░░░░░░░░ What do they mean ░░░░░░░░ deep state gt gt ░░░░░░░░ I just I wish ░░░░░░░░ could understand that a ░░░░░░░░ of the guys that ░░░░░░░░ serve with guys and ░░░░░░░░ at the CIA or ░░░░░░░░ the Pentagon where I ░░░░░░░░ Um first of all ░░░░░░░░ lot of them are ░░░░░░░░ military So you know ░░░░░░░░ you if you can ░░░░░░░░ be like promilitary and ░░░░░░░░ anti intelligence community in ░░░░░░░░ state but a lot ░░░░░░░░ the guys are also ░░░░░░░░ wearing mom jeans and ░░░░░░░░ sneakers on the weekends ░░░░░░░░ these are good cornfed ░░░░░░░░ who just want to ░░░░░░░░ their country gt gt ░░░░░░░░ ballparks gt gt well ░░░░░░░░ their hot dogs or ░░░░░░░░ whatever And there this ░░░░░░░░ that there s some ░░░░░░░░ of people that are ░░░░░░░░ the world Um it ░░░░░░░░ just it doesn t ░░░░░░░░ match reality And these ░░░░░░░░ in the deadite are ░░░░░░░░ things to protect this ░░░░░░░░ and make sure things ░░░░░░░░ t blow up here ░░░░░░░░ uh for me you ░░░░░░░░ the way that Trump ░░░░░░░░ going after them is ░░░░░░░░ it s particularly first ░░░░░░░░ all it s nasty ░░░░░░░░ of all it s ░░░░░░░░ counter to our interests ░░░░░░░░ be demoralizing the people ░░░░░░░░ are protecting us You ░░░░░░░░ as somebody who s ░░░░░░░░ who s you somebody ░░░░░░░░ was in the intelligence ░░░░░░░░ what do you make ░░░░░░░░ uh the uh the ░░░░░░░░ of national intelligence uh ░░░░░░░░ Gabbard and her characterization ░░░░░░░░ of our intelligence capabilities ░░░░░░░░ gt Um I serve ░░░░░░░░ Tulsi Um I think ░░░░░░░░ what is what we ░░░░░░░░ are concerned about is ░░░░░░░░ we politicize intelligence right ░░░░░░░░ s a word that ░░░░░░░░ throw around but what ░░░░░░░░ means is um when ░░░░░░░░ hard news comes in ░░░░░░░░ a threat coming from ░░░░░░░░ that you re going ░░░░░░░░ hit some political person ░░░░░░░░ re going to take ░░░░░░░░ note to them and ░░░░░░░░ Hey boss this is ░░░░░░░░ And they re going ░░░░░░░░ say You know what ░░░░░░░░ doesn t really comport ░░░░░░░░ what Donald Trump wants ░░░░░░░░ have happening right now ░░░░░░░░ I m going to ░░░░░░░░ it That is as ░░░░░░░░ as as anything that ░░░░░░░░ s doing So to ░░░░░░░░ the we just had ░░░░░░░░ an incident last week ░░░░░░░░ To me it could ░░░░░░░░ have been more clear ░░░░░░░░ same day that the ░░░░░░░░ s name appears in ░░░░░░░░ Epstein files right is ░░░░░░░░ same exact day that ░░░░░░░░ Gabbard is doing a ░░░░░░░░ press conference talking about ░░░░░░░░ talking about something that ░░░░░░░░ you know 15 years ░░░░░░░░ Um to me that ░░░░░░░░ a perfect example of ░░░░░░░░ intelligence using it for ░░░░░░░░ goals not for the ░░░░░░░░ of protecting the country ░░░░░░░░ it is dangerous bull ░░░░░░░░ is dangerous bull So ░░░░░░░░ re almost out of ░░░░░░░░ here We re almost ░░░░░░░░ of time here Hey ░░░░░░░░ I just like to ░░░░░░░░ going here Can we ░░░░░░░░ put the whole thing ░░░░░░░░ online Just Okay great ░░░░░░░░ I don t like ░░░░░░░░ I don t like ░░░░░░░░ edit politicians gt gt ░░░░░░░░ then the gt gt ░░░░░░░░ gt gt network gets ░░░░░░░░ Um gt gt okay ░░░░░░░░ November one in four ░░░░░░░░ senators uh in November ░░░░░░░░ were one of four ░░░░░░░░ senators to win states ░░░░░░░░ also voted for Trump ░░░░░░░░ you say the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ there have to get ░░░░░░░░ you call alpha energy ░░░░░░░░ gt Yeah gt gt ░░░░░░░░ what do you mean ░░░░░░░░ gt by alpha energy ░░░░░░░░ you mean like like ░░░░░░░░ or just because people ░░░░░░░░ have alpha energy like ░░░░░░░░ Bernie s got alpha ░░░░░░░░ and AOC s got ░░░░░░░░ energy I think you ░░░░░░░░ ve got some alpha ░░░░░░░░ But uh I mean ░░░░░░░░ don t know We ░░░░░░░░ see gt gt We ░░░░░░░░ see how you answer ░░░░░░░░ question Mom Donnie has ░░░░░░░░ alpha energy And I ░░░░░░░░ it s mostly that ░░░░░░░░ re just being honest ░░░░░░░░ what they think and ░░░░░░░░ they feel and and ░░░░░░░░ can you inculcate more ░░░░░░░░ that in the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ gt gt I think ░░░░░░░░ s about leadership and ░░░░░░░░ think you know I ░░░░░░░░ a Midwesterner I m ░░░░░░░░ Michigander So for us ░░░░░░░░ alpha energy I mean ░░░░░░░░ is like our religion ░░░░░░░░ Michigan right And it ░░░░░░░░ that coach energy How ░░░░░░░░ we going to get ░░░░░░░░ the dark place we ░░░░░░░░ in through the tunnel ░░░░░░░░ the light And we ░░░░░░░░ know we re in ░░░░░░░░ dark place So we ░░░░░░░░ people who have a ░░░░░░░░ who are bold who ░░░░░░░░ going to put out ░░░░░░░░ opinion and not try ░░░░░░░░ meymouth it and who ░░░░░░░░ going to you know ░░░░░░░░ when someone does something ░░░░░░░░ but who are going ░░░░░░░░ hug you when you ░░░░░░░░ something good That to ░░░░░░░░ I mean coach of ░░░░░░░░ Lions uh Dan Campbell ░░░░░░░░ like the perfect example ░░░░░░░░ it Thank you We ░░░░░░░░ going to win the ░░░░░░░░ Bowl the whole thing ░░░░░░░░ but I I think ░░░░░░░░ it s not necessarily ░░░░░░░░ or female but I ░░░░░░░░ it in a lot ░░░░░░░░ our sports stars right ░░░░░░░░ think the Kelsey brothers ░░░░░░░░ a lot I think ░░░░░░░░ know I think I ░░░░░░░░ like Alona Mahar right ░░░░░░░░ rugby player like she ░░░░░░░░ bringing it on in ░░░░░░░░ of like bringing people ░░░░░░░░ our sport and we ░░░░░░░░ to bring some of ░░░░░░░░ gut bold leadership and ░░░░░░░░ it s not progressive ░░░░░░░░ it s not old ░░░░░░░░ it is just we ░░░░░░░░ in a dark place ░░░░░░░░ all know it we ░░░░░░░░ t need to hide ░░░░░░░░ that so how are ░░░░░░░░ and I would say ░░░░░░░░ certainly for Democrats going ░░░░░░░░ chart a path not ░░░░░░░░ to play defense but ░░░░░░░░ play offense to show ░░░░░░░░ who we are and ░░░░░░░░ to pull them back ░░░░░░░░ the fold gt gt ░░░░░░░░ it sounds like what ░░░░░░░░ re responding to here ░░░░░░░░ correct me if I ░░░░░░░░ wrong here sounds like ░░░░░░░░ you might be responding ░░░░░░░░ here is that you ░░░░░░░░ not you re not ░░░░░░░░ that vibe from your ░░░░░░░░ fellow Democrats as as ░░░░░░░░ re planning on how ░░░░░░░░ how to push back ░░░░░░░░ some of the president ░░░░░░░░ agenda What worries you ░░░░░░░░ sort of the attitude ░░░░░░░░ you re hearing behind ░░░░░░░░ doors gt gt What ░░░░░░░░ me is that we ░░░░░░░░ not in normal times ░░░░░░░░ What worries me is ░░░░░░░░ you know we re ░░░░░░░░ very nice to each ░░░░░░░░ We all like consensus ░░░░░░░░ all are sort of ░░░░░░░░ Um but you know ░░░░░░░░ because of my background ░░░░░░░░ you can t win ░░░░░░░░ you re just polite ░░░░░░░░ each other and dance ░░░░░░░░ it You you got ░░░░░░░░ have a plan You ░░░░░░░░ to bring people to ░░░░░░░░ plan and then you ░░░░░░░░ to execute And I ░░░░░░░░ that s the energy ░░░░░░░░ over the last 30 ░░░░░░░░ it s not just ░░░░░░░░ year we have lost ░░░░░░░░ I am hellbent on ░░░░░░░░ some of that back ░░░░░░░░ gt Well Today it ░░░░░░░░ I think it was ░░░░░░░░ today Today Texas unveiled ░░░░░░░░ aggressively redrawn congressional map ░░░░░░░░ would through gerrymandering increase ░░░░░░░░ number of GOP seats ░░░░░░░░ the House What should ░░░░░░░░ Democrat s response be ░░░░░░░░ gt Yeah So look ░░░░░░░░ is literally redrawing lines ░░░░░░░░ that you can pick ░░░░░░░░ voters I mean it ░░░░░░░░ it is ridiculous I ░░░░░░░░ had a gerrymandered seat ░░░░░░░░ Michigan when I ran ░░░░░░░░ first time And to ░░░░░░░░ you an example of ░░░░░░░░ insane gerrymandering is I ░░░░░░░░ uh Oakland University in ░░░░░░░░ district but not the ░░░░░░░░ They drew they drew ░░░░░░░░ the dorms because the ░░░░░░░░ might have more Democrats ░░░░░░░░ them right So it ░░░░░░░░ a Republican seat drawn ░░░░░░░░ be Republican So Michigan ░░░░░░░░ so disgusted with this ░░░░░░░░ way of drawing lines ░░░░░░░░ we passed a constitutional ░░░░░░░░ We now have an ░░░░░░░░ citizens commission that draws ░░░░░░░░ lines every 10 years ░░░░░░░░ that they re fair ░░░░░░░░ competitive And that s ░░░░░░░░ Um and in in ░░░░░░░░ normal world we would ░░░░░░░░ that in every state ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t be able ░░░░░░░░ politically draw So what ░░░░░░░░ president has done is ░░░░░░░░ the Texas government to ░░░░░░░░ these lines instead of ░░░░░░░░ 10 years every five ░░░░░░░░ give him gt gt ░░░░░░░░ lo and behold the ░░░░░░░░ seats that he wants ░░░░░░░░ keep the house in ░░░░░░░░ Um and look I ░░░░░░░░ t stand that he ░░░░░░░░ doing that but I ░░░░░░░░ not going to be ░░░░░░░░ one again bringing a ░░░░░░░░ to a gunfight If ░░░░░░░░ s going to go ░░░░░░░░ so am I And ░░░░░░░░ states are going to ░░░░░░░░ the same thing No ░░░░░░░░ wants it gt gt ░░░░░░░░ Michigan but like California ░░░░░░░░ something like that gt ░░░░░░░░ And and so I ░░░░░░░░ I just think you ░░░░░░░░ that we know what ░░░░░░░░ be happening but in ░░░░░░░░ world right now we ░░░░░░░░ not choosing you know ░░░░░░░░ other what the other ░░░░░░░░ is doing So if ░░░░░░░░ re going to bring ░░░░░░░░ I m going to ░░░░░░░░ fire too Well after ░░░░░░░░ after after your work ░░░░░░░░ the Middle East uh ░░░░░░░░ knowledge of war zones ░░░░░░░░ work for the Defense ░░░░░░░░ um what is your ░░░░░░░░ on what the United ░░░░░░░░ attitude should be toward ░░░░░░░░ human rights in a ░░░░░░░░ of conflict and very ░░░░░░░░ let s talk about ░░░░░░░░ crisis that s going ░░░░░░░░ in Gaza right now ░░░░░░░░ United States is an ░░░░░░░░ of Israel Yes the ░░░░░░░░ of October 7th were ░░░░░░░░ horrific but gt gt ░░░░░░░░ are children starving in ░░░░░░░░ right now What should ░░░░░░░░ United States responsibility and ░░░░░░░░ be here gt gt ░░░░░░░░ So for me again ░░░░░░░░ I were all prisoners ░░░░░░░░ our experience and I ░░░░░░░░ these three tours in ░░░░░░░░ alongside the military in ░░░░░░░░ war zone right Um ░░░░░░░░ you know was working ░░░░░░░░ Rammani right outside Fallujah ░░░░░░░░ American citizens were terribly ░░░░░░░░ killed pulled behind vehicles ░░░░░░░░ up terrible things But ░░░░░░░░ still had a responsibility ░░░░░░░░ the occupying power to ░░░░░░░░ humanitarian aid into that ░░░░░░░░ And that to me ░░░░░░░░ the fundamental conversation here ░░░░░░░░ what s going on ░░░░░░░░ Gaza Um no one ░░░░░░░░ that it s a ░░░░░░░░ standing painful war that ░░░░░░░░ have been losing for ░░░░░░░░ right But to me ░░░░░░░░ responsibility to get humanitarian ░░░░░░░░ in is not an ░░░░░░░░ question We know what ░░░░░░░░ answer is And just ░░░░░░░░ literally today we put ░░░░░░░░ like you know Michigan ░░░░░░░░ a state that has ░░░░░░░░ largest Arab and Muslim ░░░░░░░░ population in the country ░░░░░░░░ very large Jewish population ░░░░░░░░ ton of people feel ░░░░░░░░ at a very visceral ░░░░░░░░ family level Um and ░░░░░░░░ the first time in ░░░░░░░░ past week I had ░░░░░░░░ rabbi and a Muslim ░░░░░░░░ come to me and ░░░░░░░░ we want to do ░░░░░░░░ together We desperately we ░░░░░░░░ pay for all of ░░░░░░░░ Will buy all the ░░░░░░░░ baby formula and all ░░░░░░░░ clean water Please can ░░░░░░░░ just greenlight that aid ░░░░░░░░ getting in no matter ░░░░░░░░ s going on with ░░░░░░░░ no matter what s ░░░░░░░░ Um we put that ░░░░░░░░ that out pushed it ░░░░░░░░ Rubio today Secretary Rubio ░░░░░░░░ that to me is ░░░░░░░░ people of of many ░░░░░░░░ faiths understand that humanitarian ░░░░░░░░ getting into children is ░░░░░░░░ American value a Jewish ░░░░░░░░ and a Muslim value ░░░░░░░░ that to me is ░░░░░░░░ it s a it ░░░░░░░░ a a requirement gt ░░░░░░░░ ultimately even even for ░░░░░░░░ for American citizens who ░░░░░░░░ staunch allies of Israel ░░░░░░░░ it what what do ░░░░░░░░ imagine is the endgame ░░░░░░░░ Israel here Because certainly ░░░░░░░░ international community sees the ░░░░░░░░ of thousands of deaths ░░░░░░░░ the of the Gazins ░░░░░░░░ the Palestinians as uh ░░░░░░░░ uh at this point ░░░░░░░░ horrific crime not commensurate ░░░░░░░░ the horror albeit the ░░░░░░░░ of October 7th Do ░░░░░░░░ think that Israel might ░░░░░░░░ harming itself Because you ░░░░░░░░ got countries ready to ░░░░░░░░ this a genocide But ░░░░░░░░ does that help the ░░░░░░░░ of Isra who who ░░░░░░░░ very strongly and have ░░░░░░░░ said you know Israel ░░░░░░░░ the right to exist ░░░░░░░░ has the right to ░░░░░░░░ safe It has the ░░░░░░░░ to live its own ░░░░░░░░ Um the the conversations ░░░░░░░░ we have with Israeli ░░░░░░░░ is like this is ░░░░░░░░ helping your long term ░░░░░░░░ right We understand that ░░░░░░░░ have to any country ░░░░░░░░ the world responds to ░░░░░░░░ attack like October 7th ░░░░░░░░ we would too right ░░░░░░░░ the the way that ░░░░░░░░ is being carried out ░░░░░░░░ particularly some of the ░░░░░░░░ right wing very open ░░░░░░░░ by people of the ░░░░░░░░ government to me is ░░░░░░░░ the long term interests ░░░░░░░░ the state of Israel ░░░░░░░░ that to me is ░░░░░░░░ important value that we ░░░░░░░░ have to push gt ░░░░░░░░ Well Senator thank you ░░░░░░░░ much for being here ░░░░░░░░ gt Appreciate it Senator ░░░░░░░░ Slacken Everybody we ll ░░░░░░░░ right back.
