- Tulsi Gabbard is a 4-term congresswoman from Hawaii and a combat veteran currently serving as Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Reserve. She ran for President in 2020 as a Democrat.
Her new book is called "For Love of Country: Leave the Democrat Party," and it tells the story of her political evolution.
These days, she's open to running as Donald Trump's VP on the Republican ticket.
In this full, unedited interview with Elex Michaelson, she talks about her journey, Trump, RFK Jr., January 6th, military affairs, working out and more.

I hope Trump has Her be his VP. She is brilliant and truly loves this country
I hope he does, so we can see how popular she is. I think he will lose and he will blame her.
@@terryphelps8133It's funny.She was in the democratic primary aspiring to run against Trump. Now she dreams to be on the ticket with him.
@@mylittlekittensShe doesn’t dream about being on his ticket. She just defends the hypocrisy and ignorance regarding his situation
@@terryphelps8133a ham sandwich could beat Biden. He’s not gonna lose
@@jalenwalker8790 Too bad Trump is chopped liver! Just make sure if Trump l loses you and your buddies don’t go tear up the capital again.
Even if Trump selected her for VP, I'd still vote for him. Please remember Trump used to be a Democrat many years ago until he saw the light and truth, so here we are with a new shining star for VP. Tulsi Gabbard.
I 100% AGREE!
Good interview.
She has the right ideas.
I never thought of it like that before.... You're completely right. I hope she doesn't turn out to be another Pence.
I never left the democrats, they left me.
Tulsi was so beautiful. Still a nice looking woman.
I am a resident of Hawaii and I too left the democratic party. I am now independent and supporting RFK jr. If you go to his website there is an impressive array of videos on many topics. He is offering a relevant and compelling examination of our failing system with clear and practical solutions. He is well spoken and well informed. If you love this country you owe it to yourself, your loved ones, future generations and our precious planet to transcend our biases and be broadly informed.
Lifelong hardcore Democrat since I was old enough to vote in the mid 80s. Hated Republican politicians. Still hate the old school Republican politicians. But started questioning the Democratic party after their witch hunt against Bernie and injection race and gender into so many things. From 2016 I started supporting Republican candidates. Now I hate most of the new order Democrat politicians. Love Tulsi. Love Vivek.
@@chamboyette853 Vivek is with big pharma and his name is Mr. Bottommouth or Captain Underbite.
RFK all the way to protect the 2 A .
@@chamboyette853 If you ever listened to RFK Tulsi and him are locked in step on issues.
@@zakglove6536 I actually prefer RFK way over Trump. I am just worried he doesn't have much of a chance/
@@chamboyette853 He will his support is growing fast. Help spread the word if everyone that supports him now can get 1 person to go watch one of his longform videos then he would take the lead. It's not that people don't support him they just don't know that they would if they knew about him and who he really is. MSM portrays him in a way that is just nothing but lies.
Protect this woman at all cost
So proud of you Tulsi!
Tulsi said she would be at the boarder on Tuesday in California. That makes it very possible she could also be in Oakland the same day.
And she never said that she would not be Kennedys running mate when specifically asked for clarification
Presumably, thanks to modern aviation & the jet engine, Tulsi could be anywhere in the lower 48, & still be in Oakland the same day.
She gonna be RFKs VP I can tell by her body language.
Trump is stringing Tulsi along just to keep her away from RFK. Thats why he hasn't announced his VP yet.
RFK and Tulsi were playing Trump this whole time though. With Tulsi doing speeches at Trump rallies, doing interviews with Don Jr. This is gonna be the burn of the century lol.
Like me, you're paying way too much attention to Tulsi's body. Hard to resist!
@@zakglove6536
won't that e sweet???@@zakglove6536
Tulsi needs a position in the Trump administration after he wins the 2024 election
Not happening. Trump is not going to add a "former" democrat within his circle, he knows better.
Thanks for leading the way Tulsi.
America, let's start doing the right thing for our future.
We The People want Gabbard as VP!
We the people or Is it just you. Lol don't get me wrong she's amazing but Vivek Ramaswamy is much more suitable for the position
For RFK jr. Trump is a muppet.
@@monkeysezbegood trump is a hero
For rfk jr
She would be the perfect all-around choice for trump.
I can listen to her talk. She talks with common sense ☺️
If someone says January 6 again I'm gonna puke.
Thank you for having Tulsi on your show, she is a calm, brave, grounded, introspective person who deeply loves America. She would make a FANTASTIC VP for either Trump or RFK!! 💯💪🙏🇺🇲
DT is a moron I'm not sure if Tulsi can see that or not but either way she lost my respect when she started supporting DT. I don't even understand how DT still has the support he does. I'm conservative and he lost my support in 2018 when he infringed on the 2 A by banning 8ump $tocks without republican support. At that same time DT discussion banning @r's with Feinstein and other Dems in front of camera's. He eventually backed off because he knew he would lose and nothing is more important to him as being president. He has said he would ban @R's since the 90's if he were ever president and he was a lifelong democrat until 2014. The only reason he ran as a republican is because he had a much better chance and will lie or do anything to be president, which he proved even more so when he lost in 2020. If DT is reelected because of the 2 term limit he won't have anything holding him back this time.
shes a secret liberal
Goehring was calm and deeply loved Germany. It helps to have substantively reasonable views.
Elex: "So it is fair to say you will not be RFK's VP choice when he announces it on Tuesday." Tulsi: "We'll see what he announces."
Regardless, who wins hopefully we will have Tulsi and the administration in 2025. She’d be awesome as VP or Secretary of State.
Tulsi is great!
Do you know about any of her policies? Yeah no one does
@@shahnulislam9897: You've been living under a hot rock. Do your research.
I sure wish Trump would choose Tulsi or Tim Scott for Vice President as His running mate.
@@nancyglenn3408 💯
@@nancyglenn3408 Please, not Scott. Nice guy but a poor speaker. Noem will get it but Tulsi is the bravest choice.
I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In quick, random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr...
-genuinely wants to heal the 'culture war' divide in our country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly
-calm, humble, has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet)
-not phony
-incorruptible, cannot be bought
-thoughtful and introspective
-deeply considers problems and possible solutions
-vocal about the corruption of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government
-vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (pharma, banks, oil, military industrial complex)
-wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex
-wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine problem via negotiations
-vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media
-wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives)
-wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc
-wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc
-advocate for civil liberties
-vocally against censorship (will free Snowden and Assange on 'day 1')
-against mandates and police state-like policies
-classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics)
-vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping
-passionate about environmental and ecological concerns
-passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods'
-wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc
-will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue - for many reasons)
-has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent cost down dramatically)
-due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures
-due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government
Would he help the idea that parents think abusing their children by sterilizing them. Would he help stop this ideology.
@@missypead2293can you elaborate what you mean by sterilize?
Well Said! I am supporting RFK, Jr.
Trump
❤❤❤❤RFK❤❤❤❤
I’m a Big Time Conservative and I love her because she’s authentic and loves America 🇺🇸 and had a love for America to come to the other side the right side of history.
Poetic justice would be going to the White House as the VP, and removing Biden and Harris, the two idiots that chased her out of the party.
She was cuter 5 years ago. Still she is an IMPRESSIVE American Woman with strong principles and true valor that NEVER fade away.
God bless your ❤ Lt. Coronel Tulsi Gabbard!
Tulsi as RFK's VP makes so much sense. RFK has it figured out.
VP rather for Trump, but if Bobby Jr. calls.............who could refuse a Kennedy?
I'm voting for Tulsi.
Gabbard should ask her supporters to leave Democrat party as well, and flip Hawaii!
I think that's basically what she's doing with the subtitle of her book, "Leave the Democrat Party Behind". People also have to be smart enough to make up their own mind though.
What good would that have done when she didnt win the election? lol Like the user below said, it's better to just say it in a book....
She will flip Hawaii Blue to Red State
I hope that RFK Jr. picks Tulsi as his running mate!
That would be weird if Trump picked her too.
Whoever picks Tulsi won’t regret the decision made
Bideb/Tulsi
RFKJr and Tulsi have a lot in common for the good of our nation!!!!!
Naaaaaaaa!!!
@@roccodiconza7367 Trump is gonna pick a fence post like Pence. Trumps ego can't survive without all the attention on him. Just look at the Covid thing he would get on stage and just ramble about shit like everyday cuz he couldn't stand that Fauci was getting all the attention. Trump couldn't even stand up to Fauci he was Fauci's little B
Great interview‼️Such depth & introspection in Tulsi Gabbard while making it quite simple what the central issue is💯🇺🇸
Trump-Tulsi VS Brandon-Kamala
Trump won't pick her he will pick someone that won't take the spotlight off of himself
Ree ree ree orange man bad @@zakglove6536
Yes, Trump/Tulsi 2024, unstoppable!! 💯💪🇺🇲
Sounds like a great contest..............Tulsi would, once again, "verbally annihilate" Hyena Harris, just as she did in the 2016 Democrat Primaries! Just for that, I would be "gung ho, mates," in her super-support for the Yank voters!
We need more "adults in the room". Tulsi has the quality of character that we need much more of in DC. Would make an excellent VP
Donald you need Tulsi as your VP.
Governor Kristi Noem is hotter.
Im concerned RFK will pick someone stupid as his vp. Hopefully he picks Tulsi.
Tulsi is the obvious choice. It seems like they agree on what they talk about.
It might be mike rowe
I'm sure he would like Tulsi as VP but VP may be Trump's VP?
The NYT article said she turned him down … 🤔
@@beebee4334 I don't buy it. I think that was put out to throw people off.
It's so good for a change to have a Honest person in politics, well done TULSI,
ALOHA 🌺🌺🌺
Delusional!
I would love to see her as Trump’s VP, at least she’s an American patriot.
No RFK/Tulsi
Trump/Fence..... Post
Trump has to have all the attention
Gotta like this lady!
Wasn't Martin Luther King a Republican?
Yes
Most of his career.
YES!
“I don't think the Republican Party is a party full of the almighty God nor is the Democratic Party,” Martin Luther King's words. He was never affiliated with either party
@@Laurie-ef5wb He was a registered Republican voter. That was the only way a black in the South was able to register. The Democrats didn't want blacks voting in their primaries, nor the possibility of blacks getting to leadership positions in the Democrat party in the South.
Trump needs to pick Tulsi or governor Noem for VP.
He's not gonna pick anyone that steals attention from him, his ego wouldn't be able to take it. Look at everyone in his cabinet every and even Pence all just fence post . It'll be just like before Trump/Fence Post
Why are we paying for the bridge and not their insurance company. Haven't we paid enough or Haven't the in debt not high enough yet 😢😮😅😂😅😮😢😂😢😮😅😅😮😢
Tulsi for President 2028!
Absolutely!!!
ANOTHER OF PUTIN's TOOL FOR PRESIDENT!!! YEAHHHHH!
Nope!
I agree, Troy. Don't get me wrong because I still like and support her but she said she didn't want to be president.
I don't want her to run for president because then I'll have to beat off while watching the presidential debates because she is so hot. Otherwise, I would support her as president.
OOO000ooo!! "We'll see what he announces"!
#TrumpGabbard2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Run with Bobby!
#WalkAway
So great to have a politician who is ethical and honest…and speaks for me
I'm thankful for this broadcast out of the great state of California for not being biased on parties. The Issue!! good job people. All the way from Indiana.
7:32 I think her reaction right here implies that she will be visiting the border in the morning and going to be announced as RFK Jr’s VP on Tuesday afternoon/evening
It was a bit of a hint wasn't it? Any other way to explain that?
Yeah she was asked and she said she'd be at the border but never said no.
This would be the biggest burn on Trump cuz I think Trump is either stringing her along to keep her away from RFK or he thinks he is but getting played. Trump wouldn't pick her he isn't going to pick anyone that steals the spotlight from him. His ego couldn't take it.
Amazing ❤❤
O Lord may this reach many eople and let them truly question their
"Party"
I don't like how Michaelson interviewed her. I still appreciate him doing it.
I am supporting Robert Kennedy Jr. Love Gabbard!
Trump 2024- get real.
Robert Kennedy.. Endorsed Hilary Clinton 2016. Becareful who you trust.
Tulsi Gabbard class act good 👍 job leaving the Democrat party God bless you and your family.
Tulsi is so amazingly intelligent with a Awesome Smile!!!
Her vision for the US seems in excellent alignment with RFKJ. It’ll be sad if she really turned it down, as the reports say
Rfkj is too much of lefties
Trump - Tulsi 2024!!
Unfortunately because Hawaii is a blue state, Tulsi never would frankly have been elected if she ran as a Republican 😢 and I repeat UNFORTUNATELY 🇺🇸
Trump Gabbard 2024! Thank you Tulsi for focusing on NATURAL health first before prescription drugs!
I have been a life long democrat from Hawaii and I left the democrats and am voting for Trump. Democrats have gone off the rails.
Trump sells bibles to make money, Maga hats and shoes. You should be more concerned about your morals.
KENNEDY KENNEDY KENNEDY
Wow, that would be an eye-opener, a stunning announcement, an unbeatable team, Kennedy - Kennedy, RFK,Jr & Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA).
The more I listen to Tulsi Gabbard, the more I like her.
Thank you Ms Gabbard😊
"we'll see what he announces". So exciting!!!
What do you think that means? Was it hint she is going with RFK jr?
@@changingworld7467 Yes.
Watch how she averts her eyes when she says "Let's see what he announces" Clearly there is much more to the story than she is letting on😊.
@@rangerbill9409 It certainly does seem that way. And the way RFK has been promoting the 26th, saying it will shake up the political world, etc....doesn't sound like Nicole Shanahan or anyone else. Tulsi would be the number 1 choice for political relevance, having an eloquent younger partner...and alignment in many areas. Ideal IMO. Hope it happens. Good point...averting the eyes, noticed that as well.
RFK/Gabbard 2024!
She's already made it clear she's not going to be going with RFK, and the likelihood of Trump picking her as his VP is pretty high,and she's already expressed interest in taking that position with him.
@robhaunui3343 she has not made it clear she's not going to be with RFK and she has not expressed interest in being Trump's VP
@@robhaunui3343 You missed the part where she said we will see who he picks. She didn't outright say no.
@@llamasindabahamasshe sort of has just look up title Tulsi Gabbard for vp and you will find at least 10 videos
Trump/Gabbard 2024! Gabbard/Trump 2028!
Tulsi is one of the rare politicians in US that works for the people of America.
great interview
Tulsi is such an inspiration! She gives me hope which is hard to find in these days!
Such a well spoken woman. And a soldier,and beautiful amazing I could listen to her speak all day , she should do one of those apps to help you relax lol. Amazing what listening to common sense does. And I’m Canadian .
Thank you, I two left the democratic party because of the way they have changed From the days of the 60s. Dems are nothing like they were when our country was strong.
Trump / Gabbard 2024.
Tulsi for "VP." and Vivek for Secretary of State! Both positions allow a future world leadership role...............
Her eyes were opened to the Truth!
I love the way she talks and what she says. She is genuine. I think she is more conservative today
It's really fantastic to see how she is evolving.
6:23 the RFK question
I find it interesting that she really wanted to move on to talk about that border quickly. It's like she forced herself to talk about it to make it so the interviewer couldn't ask anything else about the RFK VP situation. Then after he re-asks, she wasn't making eye contact while saying "We'll see what he announces.". 🤔
7:32 I think the 2nd time caught her off guard and she avoided eye contact idk
I just would rather see Tulsi be VP to RFK Jr over Trump.
@@lutherevans968I didn’t see your comment before, but yeah
@@Jedindy Yeah, I feel the same way. Hopefully my suspicion that she will be RFK's VP isn't just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞
Good observation.@@lutherevans968

Go check out RFK you'll love him
Rfk is ok but he is no Jfk
Tulsi a real patriot/literally a soldier. Much respect. She’s a doer not a talker.
Tulsi is a definite bright light of hope for our future. I'm looking forward to voting for any ticket or anywhere she may be,, she is definitely what our country and world needs today!!!
Combat veteran still setving in the reserves! As a light colonel no less.
We need her in Congress.
Wonderful person.
I love her so much. I really hope she is Trump's running mate. She is so much better than Kamala.
Tulsa please if you’re not VP please go for presidency in 2028 please
She's refreshing and the ideal candidate to represent common sense. The two party system is broken. We Americans must have more options for leadership.
The two party system is broken in the UK too. In fact, even the third and fourth well known parties are broken.
truly a patriot who deserves lots of respect!
I wll follow her. Somehow i really trust her. A rare feeling these days i know but Tulai is different she is young and strong and faced our enemy face ro face and still sees a path to peace with them. I think it is her vision i trust most. Hope she gets the VP job ❤
She is spot on n everything she said, and if you can't see it, keep taking the blue pill
She would be a great VP for our country 3/25/24
Tulsi is amazing!
💥🎉🥰LOVE THAT YOU END EACH SEGMENT WITH 🎶🎶 MUSIC 🎵🎶!
A Beautiful Woman…
After a 24-pack of beer.
She would make a great Vice President for Trump. She's intelligent, articulate, an Army Veteran, capable of going toe-to-toe with Kamala, loves our country, and is a world leader.
❤️ Tulsi and her new direction as a republician!! I would love for someone to admit that Trump is innocent of all charges...which he is! That he is the ONLY one that can heal our country!! Again I ❤️ your change, new direction, thankyou for your service and your stance in the policial arena!!
Tulsi for VP.
I respect this woman. I think she'd make a good vice president.
She would've been great teaming up with RFK JR. Please be his Secretary of state at least
Don't waste your vote on RFK. Remember Ross Perot.
I hope she's RFKJr's pick for VP. They seem pretty in alignment!
It would be a good match imo and much more persuasive than hanging out with conservatives.
I’m still not aligned with RFK/Tulsi but they would be WAY superior to the Dems.
I seen it’s another woman RFK jr picked a pro Biden supporter and large donations for him I would vote RFK if Trump wasn’t on Ballot I want the radical left democrats and she’s right we need a military revamp and take the woke brass and men wearing dresses we are not ready for any combat I know Tulsi would be a great leader for peace through strength and the LGBQT doesn’t belong in military or politics we want a normal America back
I'm also a former Democrat who left the party. My state's primary was this month, and for the first time ever, I didn't vote in it. I can't bring myself to vote in the Democrat or Republican primaries when I don't consider myself either. I like RFK Jr. but I'm leaning towards Trump. If he picks Tulsi as his running mate, that will seal my support for him.
She is so articulate. I would LOVE to see her debate Kamala!
Tulsi I did leave the party myself for the same reasons but I did it when I voted for Regan's second term sending myself free the Democrat's plantation.
I LOVE HER. HOPE SHE IS VP
She would make and amazing VP to RFK!!
Tulsi is Top Notch
Tulsi Gabbard for VP to Protect our Constitutional Republic Founded By Our Funding Fathers writing our constitution ... TRUMP 2024.. TULSI.. VP 2024.. No doubt now ..
If you truly believe that, you wouldn’t support Trump! This is the guy who held the Bible upside down, caused Jan 6th and sells bibles to make money. The man doesn’t even go to church.
Respect and Admiration from Singapore 23/3/24
