In a candid interview, Tulsi Gabbard lays bare the deep-rooted corruption among Washington’s elites, critiquing their persistent focus on power while neglecting the American people.
She paints a vivid picture of her political experiences, revealing the manipulation, identity politics, and pervasive lack of accountability that infect both major parties. Gabbard highlights the profound failures in education, healthcare, and governance, all of which she argues are driven by powerful corporate interests like Big Pharma and government unions.
Particularly harsh in her assessment of the Department of Education, she condemns its policies for stripping away parental rights, promoting ideological conformity, and failing to deliver quality education. These systemic failures, she warns, are eroding individual freedoms and community autonomy across the nation.
“The elites are intent on taking our freedom away,” she states. “If they stay in power, I fear the country I love and would die to protect—our safety, security, and freedoms—will be lost. Once those freedoms are gone, getting them back is nearly impossible.”
Gabbard doesn’t hold back in her critique of Washington’s culture of privilege. She speaks to how lobbyists and powerful insiders manipulate elected officials, forcing them to prioritize elite agendas over the needs of the public. She shares powerful personal stories, showing how even well-meaning lawmakers get swept up in this corrupt system, distancing themselves from the people they’re meant to serve.
For Gabbard, the solution lies in bold civic action. She emphasizes that it’s essential for Americans to demand accountability, remove corrupt leaders, and actively safeguard their rights as granted by the Constitution. Her message is a direct call to action: only by restoring integrity and accountability in leadership can the nation hope to preserve its future and democratic values.
