    We need to transition back to where running for office is a public service not a career path
  • @polarxta2833
    We need to be surveilling the Politicians, the way they want to surveil us. WE are not the threat. THEY are.
  • @ceekerr8413
    People don't understand the real economics, profits and profit makers of war. Much respect for Tulsi for relating her experiences.
  • @markjones4971
    A 56 year old Brit here. Who's NEVER had enough confidence in those presented in front of me to vote for. But this lady and Vivek would get my vote in a heartbeat if they were here in the UK.
  • @jmr1512000
    I've worked for KBR, DynCorp, Raytheon, Fluor, ITT and Vectrus in Bagram, Kandahar, Djibouti, Kirkuk, Al Asad...... She is 1000% on target with these contractors. They are shady as shit.
  • @jamespluta113
    When I was growing up presidents were usually ex military. She sounds so refreshing to listen to .
  • My served with her as one of her officers. He talked about what a great leader she was and how much he enjoyed working for her. Wish she was running for President again.
  • @wulfenstien321
    She is one of the few (very few) politicians who actually deserves to be in leadership. And the fact she was done so dirty is indicative of the rot our country suffers from.
  • Lex really shined in this one. He communicated so gently yet confidently with Tulsi. They communicate well together.
  • @AndyDaviesUK
    Here is the person who should be US President. Makes fools of Biden and Trump.. Intelligent, measured.. In fact the world needs Tulsi Gabbard
  • Great conversation!! Thank you for your amazing work, Lex!! Please keep up with your great work!! Today's world needs people and programs like you!!
  • @juneack5848
    Usual, people running for office or politics in general, give off a weird vibe. Tulsi just keeps it real and clear. Thats respectable and admirable.
  • Lex, I appreciate the way you allow your guest to fully express their ideas and perspectives. This is sorely lacking in the MSM.
  • @RogerDodger801
    Lex is such a great interviewer, and seems to be such an all-around good person. This interview was every bit as enlightening as it was disheartening and terrifying. We need more people like Tulsi back in office. History will remember her kindly, unlike many of those who have experienced “power” within her lifetime.
  • @gsftom
    I really enjoy learning about tulsi and listening to her. The last 5 minutes were the best and most thought provoking for me.
  • @MrWphilips
    Thank you Lex for another of your thoughtful and intelligent interviews, where you allow your guest to speak at length and in depth! Great work, and vitally needed!
  • @jlk7jester
    We keep hearing about the military industrial complex. How about having a leader from one of the big military contractors on to speak about their perspective. How they view the world and themselves in it, their experiences, and if they see the landscape of war changing for the better of humanity?
  • @longhorns6221
    Great interview! I love how you stay on point and how you let your guests answer the questions.
