  • RIGHT NOW IS A HOUSE DEMOCRAT

  • WHO WAS INITIALLY OPPOSED TO

  • IMPEACHMENT BUT VOTED IN FAVOR

  • OF THE RESOLUTION ON THURSDAY.

  • HAWAII CONGRESSMAN TULSI GABBARD

  • A 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

  • AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU

  • ON THE PROGRAM, CONGRESSWOMAN

  • THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

  • >> THANKS, MARIA.

  • MARIA: SO YOU VOTE YES ON THIS

  • RESOLUTION LAST WEEK TELL US WHY

  • >> TO GET THE FACTS.

  • TO GET THE INFORMATION.

  • THERE WERE SERIOUS QUESTIONS AND

  • CONCERNS BEING RAISED.

  • THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO

  • GET SOME ANSWERS TO THOSE

  • QUESTIONS SO WE CAN BRING OUT

  • INTO BROAD DAYLIGHT WHAT EXACTLY

  • HAPPENED, GATHER THIS

  • INFORMATION, UNDERSTANDING THAT

  • THE VOTE THAT TOOK PLACE WAS A

  • VOTE FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY AS

  • THIS INQUIRY CONTINUED.

  • MARIA: WHAT ABOUT THE TREATMENT

  • OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY?

  • I MEAN, YOU YOURSELF HAVE TALKED

  • ABOUT THIS PROCESS BEING UNFAIR

  • AND WE SEE THIS UNFAIR TREATMENT

  • EVERY DAY WITH THIS IMPEACHMENT

  • INQUIRY GOING ON BEHIND CLOSED

  • DOORS.

  • CAN YOU GIVE US A SENSE OF

  • WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE DEMOCRAT

  • PARTY THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING MORE

  • TRANSPARENCY ON ALL OF THE ABOVE

  • >> WELL I THINK ONE OF THE

  • ISSUES HAS BEEN THAT ONLY THOSE

  • WHO ARE SERVING ON THE

  • INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAVE HAD

  • ACCESS TO THE DIFFERENT

  • INTERVIEWS AND CONVERSATIONS

  • THEY'VE BEEN HAVING AND I THINK

  • AS THIS INQUIRY MOVED FORWARD

  • THIS IS WHY I VOTED FOR THAT

  • INQUIRY THE OTHER DAY IS TO MAKE

  • SURE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

  • ACTUALLY ARE GETTING THE

  • INFORMATION THAT ONLY SOME

  • MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE BEEN

  • GETTING ACCESS TO THUS FAR.

  • MARIA: YOU'VE BEEN, YOU KNOW,

  • OUT THERE AND SORT OF

  • ARTICULATING YOUR AGENDA

  • PROPOSALS QUITE CLEARLY AND YET

  • YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT NOT BEING

  • TREATED FAIRLY BY THE DEMOCRAT

  • PARTY.

  • TELL US ABOUT THAT AND WHETHER

  • OR NOT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE CHANGES

  • THERE.

  • >> WHAT I PLAN TO DO AS THE

  • DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE AND AS

  • PRESIDENT IS TO REBUILD A NEW

  • DEMOCRATIC PARTY ONE THAT TRULY

  • REPRESENTS THE INTEREST OF THE

  • PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY, THAT IS

  • FIGHTING FOR THEM, FIGHTING FOR

  • THEIR WELL BEING, FIGHTING FOR

  • THE WELL BEING OF OUR COUNTRY

  • AND PROTECTING OUR NATURAL

  • RESOURCES ON THIS PLANET.

  • I THINK IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE

  • HAVE SEEN ESPECIALLY THROUGHOUT

  • THIS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY HOW THE

  • DNC HAS BEEN KIND OF IMPLEMENT

  • ING THEIR OWN PRE-

  • PRIMARY ELECTION BEFORE

  • VOTERS EVEN GET A CHANCE TO VOTE

  • I'M HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE RIGHT

  • NOW AND VOTERS HERE TAKE VERY

  • SERIOUSLY THE RESPONSIBILITY

  • THAT THEY HAVE AS ONE OF THE

  • VERY FIRST IN THE NATION TO CAST

  • THEIR VOTES, ABOUT WHO THEY

  • WOULD LIKE TO SEE BEING OUR

  • DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

  • THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE

  • DNC OR ANYONE SHOULD BE TAKEN

  • AWAY FROM THEM.

  • MARIA: AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE

  • SPEAKING AT THIS EVENT IN NEW

  • HAMPSHIRE TODAY.

  • THERE'S A LOT OF SPECULATION

  • THAT PERHAPS YOU'LL RUN AS A

  • THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE.

  • ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING THAT?

  • >> I AM NOT.

  • I HAVE SAID NUMEROUS TIMES THAT

  • I WILL NOT RUN AS A THIRD PARTY

  • CANDIDATE AND AGAIN THE PER PEP

  • EQUATION OF THAT RUMOR HAS COME

  • FROM POLITICAL OPPONENTS WHO

  • REALLY ARE JUST TRYING TO CREATE

  • SOME KIND OF STRANGE SUSPICION

  • THAT I MIGHT DO SOMETHING ELSE

  • TO TRY TO UNDERMINE THE SUPPORT

  • THAT WE ARE GETTING FROM

  • DEMOCRAT REPUBLICANS,

  • INDEPENDENTS, LIBERTARIANS

  • SAYING HEY LOOK WE WANT TO COME

  • AND VOTE FOR YOU IN THE

  • DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY BECAUSE OF

  • THE UNIFYING MESSAGE AND

  • LEADERSHIP THAT I WILL BRING TO

  • THIS COUNTRY.

  • MARIA: AND NO LABELS, THIS

  • INTEREST GROUP ORIGINALLY

  • FOUNDED BY JOHN HUNTSMAN, YOU'LL

  • BE SPEAKING THERE TODAY.

  • WHAT ARE THE MESSAGES YOU'LL

  • ARTICULATED WHEN YOU TAKE THE

  • STAGE?

  • >> REALLY, IT SPEAKS TO THE

  • KIND OF LEADERSHIP THAT I SEEK

  • TO BRING TO OUR COUNTRY WHERE MY

  • COMMITMENT IS TO SERVE ALL

  • AMERICANS.

  • NO LABELS IS KNOWN FOR THEIR

  • PROBLEM SOLVERS, CAUCUS AND

  • CONGRESS AND REALLY TAKING THE

  • FOCUS AND THE APPROACH ON

  • ACTUALLY SOLVING PROBLEMS FOR

  • THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY,

  • SETTING ASIDE THE HYPER-PARTISAN

  • POLITICS AND WORKING TOGETHER

  • WITH PEOPLE ACROSS PARTY LINES.

  • THIS IS WHAT I HAVE DONE

  • THROUGHOUT MY TIME IN CONGRESS

  • AND THIS IS THE KIND OF

  • LEADERSHIP THAT I'LL BRING AS

  • PRESIDENT, BECAUSE AS I LOOK OUT

  • AT THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY, I

  • DO NOT SEE DEPLORABLES, I DO NOT

  • SEE ONLY THOSE WHO MAY AGREE

  • WITH MY PARTY OR MY VIEWS ON

  • THINGS I SEE FELLOW AMERICANS,

  • TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT AND

  • UNDERSTAND THAT MY

  • RESPONSIBILITY AND MY COMMITMENT

  • IS TO SERVING EVERY SINGLE ONE

  • OF THEM.

  • MARIA: YOU MENTIONED THE NO

  • DEPLORABLES OF COURSE THAT

  • DEPLORABLES COMMENT CAME FROM

  • HILLARY CLINTON BACK IN THE

  • CAMPAIGN DAYS.

  • SHE ATTACKED YOU CALLING YOU A

  • RUSSIAN ASSET WHICH SPARKED A

  • FEUD, A TWITTER FEUD BETWEEN THE

  • TWO OF YOU.

  • LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THAT,

  • CONGRESSWOMAN BECAUSE THERE'S A

  • REAL SPECULATION OUT THERE THAT

  • WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ORIGINS

  • OF THE RUSSIA PROBE AND WE'LL BE

  • TALKING ABOUT IT LATER WITH JIM

  • JORDAN AND LEE SMITH AND SIDNEY

  • POWELL THERE'S A FEELING THAT

  • REALLY SHE WAS AT THE CORE OF IT

  • THAT SHE PAID FOR THE DOSSIER,

  • SHE CALLED DONALD TRUMP AN AGENT

  • OF RUSSIA AS WELL.

  • DO YOU BELIEVE SHE HAD ANYTHING

  • IN TERMS, ANYTHING TO DO WITH

  • THE FBI AND THE CIA PUTTING

  • DONALD TRUMP IN THE STORY OF

  • RUSSIA MEDDLING IN THE UNITED

  • STATES?

  • >> I CAN'T SPEAK TO ANY OF THAT

  • BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHAT WE

  • HAVE SEEN IN WHAT SHE AND HER

  • PROXIES AND MINIONS HAVE BEEN

  • PUTTING OUT AND TRYING TO SMEAR

  • MY CHARACTER REPUTATION AND

  • UNDERMINE MY CAMPAIGN IS REALLY

  • NOT JUST A MESSAGE FOR ME IT'S A

  • MESSAGE TO ALL AMERICANS, EVEN

  • THOSE WATCHING AT HOME THAT IF

  • YOU DESCENT, IF YOU DISAGREE, IF

  • YOU SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER AND

  • CHALLENGE THE ESTABLISHMENT VIEW

  • , ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES

  • TO FOREIGN POLICY THEN YOU TOO

  • WILL BE SMEARED AND ATTACKED.

  • LOOK, I JUST FINISHED, I JUST

  • HAD NATIONAL GUARD DUTY

  • YESTERDAY AND I'M PROUD TO WEAR

  • THE UNIFORM OF OUR COUNTRY AND

  • HONORED TO BE ABLE TO SERVE AND

  • REALLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS

  • SENDING THIS MESSAGE THROUGH

  • THEIR SMEARING OF ME AND MY

  • CHARACTER WHICH BY THE WAY I

  • WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UNDO WHAT

  • THEY HAVE DONE IN TRYING TO CAST

  • SUSPICION AMONGST THE AMERICAN

  • PEOPLE ABOUT WHERE MY LOYALTIES

  • ACTUALLY LIE, BUT THIS IS

  • SOMETHING BIGGER THAN JUST ABOUT

  • ME.

  • THIS IS REALLY ABOUT OUR FREEDOM

  • , OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH

  • AND BEING ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT

  • WE AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN

  • STAND UP.

  • WE CAN BE CRITICAL OF OUR LEADER

  • S.

  • WE CAN DISAGREE AND THE REASON

  • WHY WE'RE SEEING THIS COMING

  • FROM HILLARY CLINTON AND HER

  • PROXY AND KIND OF THIS FOREIGN

  • POLICY ESTABLISHMENT THAT

  • REPRESENTS HER LEGACY IS THEY

  • KNOW THEY CANNOT CONTROL ME.

  • THAT WORRIES THEM VERY MUCH.

  • MARIA: YOU SHOWED REAL COURAGE

  • AND LEADERSHIP IN PUSHING BACK

  • AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON AND SHE

  • WENT ON THE RADIO SHOW AND SAID

  • THAT YOU WERE A RUSSIAN ASSET.

  • LET'S LISTEN TO THIS BECAUSE SHE

  • SAID I'M NOT MAKING ANY

  • PREDICTIONS HERE BUT I THINK

  • THAT THEY WILL GO AND HAVE THEIR

  • EYE ON SOMEBODY WHOSE CURRENTLY

  • IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY AND

  • ARE GROOMING HER TO BE THIRD

  • PARTY CANDIDATE.

  • SHE'S THE FAVORITE OF THE

  • RUSSIANS.

  • WHERE IS SHE GETTING THAT?

  • I HAVE NO CLUE.

  • IT'S COMPLETELY BASELESS, AND

  • FRANKLY IT IS OFFENSIVE ON SO

  • MANY, IT'S OUTRAGEOUS.

  • IT STRIKES AT THE VERY CORE OF

  • WHO I AM.

  • IT WAS BECAUSE OF 9/11 THAT I,

  • LIKE SO MANY AMERICANS, MADE

  • THAT DECISION TO ENLIST, TO JOIN

  • OUR MILITARY, TO SERVE OUR

  • COUNTRY, TO ROOT OUT THE EVIL

  • AND DEFEAT THE EVIL THAT

  • ATTACKED US ON THAT DAY, AND

  • AGAIN, HER ATTEMPT TO SMEAR ME,

MARIA: WELCOME BACK JOINING ME
