This was never the case. To attract high-caliber individuals to political offices, we need to make public service competitive with private sector opportunities to draw in talented individuals. Pay them a competitive salary. Otherwise we'll keep getting Gaetz and AOC. Along with that, all investments should be placed in blind trusts and ban all gifts to mitigate conflicts of interest, fostering a culture where decisions are made in the public's interest. You will get corrupt liars or inept PolySci kids if you keep it cheap and rely on the goodwill of the participant.
We need to be surveilling the Politicians, the way they want to surveil us. WE are not the threat. THEY are.

Agreed, but it would be refreshing to hear a politician not have to lie about the numbers in order to make their point. For example, Halliburton is (and has been for decades) a publicly traded company. Their financials are open for all to see. At no time during the Iraq War did Halliburton ever earn anywhere near the "Trillions" of dollars quoted by Tulsi. In fact, the highest revenue year (2005) they only had a total revenue of $20B and net earnings of barely over 10% ($2.3B). A far cry from "making trillions of dollars". Was there a lot of overspending by the US Government? I'm sure there was. Were there Executives at Hal making millions? I'm sure they were. But exaggerating the numbers by a factor of 50+ makes you lose all credibility. Takes 10 minutes to look it up and get the facts straight.

Perhaps they just want your money or to take your front yard. Negotiate. She sounds like a Bernie liberal.

In good faith, what do you think should be done then? These machine learning algorithms do an excellent job matching our preferences and interest. It's a positive feedback loop where the more we click and consume, the more similar content we be fed to us. With confirmation bias, people continue to seek out even more similar content. What do you think is the best way we go about this? I agree. We should not be censoring everything. Do we enact legislation the does not let these tech companies use algorithms in such circumstances i.e., you can have recommendation algorithms for shows, shopping, etc, but not for places like Twitter?

In this instant, Lex your guest has not once acknowledged that perhaps the military forces and the government who has sent her have used tactics of divisiveness, splitting communities; playing one set of people against an other and creating differences and fomenting hatred. The USA has so much potential for doing amazing things and yet the administrations seem to have succumbed to greed and control in any way necessary.

Thank you, Lex, for a great show with an AWESOME guest! Tulsi is the first person who has been in both a war of weapons and a war of political power who has the guts to share what she has seen and knows!
My favorite part of getting to know Tulsi better was hearing her speak about her spiritual life.

Thank you Mr Lex for having Ms Tulsi on your show, I have to agree with every word Ms Tulsi spoke, I loved Ms Tulsi even before I seen this show but I never knew Ms Tulsi you served Our Country, I have a huge place in my heart for all Our Fallen heroes, all Our veterans, and all those who still serve today it is men and women like you Ms Tulsi who served that makes me proud to be an American it is your sacrifices that I can hold my head high and say without shame I'm an American. For me there is no greater feeling than that. My father served, he did 4 tours in Vietnam and growing up looking at his medals I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps, as a child 5-6 years old looking at my father's medals I was proud cause my Dad was a Marine and he served Our Country, but I honored my mother's wish she begged me not to join the military she wasn't afraid of me being killed in action nor was I, she was afraid I wouldn't come back home the same person I left, she was afraid I'd come home and pull a Rambo it was funny then but now I know exactly what she meant, I'm disgusted to see what Biden and his administration has done to Our Country and I feel Biden is making all the sacrifices Our Fallen heroes all Our veterans and all those who serve have been done in vain and I want nothing more to see Biden and all those behind him kicked the hell out of Our House! And I say that politely out of respect for Ms Tulsi❣️ Ms Tulsi I wanna thank you for serving Our country I loved you before I knew you served now knowing u served Our Country I wanna marry you🌹❣️🤭😅 Thank you and Our Fallen, Our Veterans and those who still serve I now know why all of you did what you did!? Cause this Country is worth fighting for, as I wrote this the tears kept falling that's how much I love what all Our veterans did for this great country Thank you❤

We need to have a way for people to monitor, audit, and vote on lobbying for what is acceptable for the American people.
Tulsi is virtually the only politician that I trust. She's; open-minded, transparent with her beliefs, and determined to preserve our freedoms. Most importantly, she hasn't used her positions to enrich herself. She'd be the perfect VP with Trump, and president in 2028
She is awesome, powerful and very articulate, by far the best person to fill the VP position. America would be a better place with Tulsi ultimately becoming President one day.

She's alright. Spouts a lot of propaganda nonsense. The north African Islamist movements like Boko Haram aren't interested in exterminating people of the faith or ethnicity she mentioned. That was nonsense. They're interested in political objectives within their theater of action. They're messing up a lot of foreign power's resource plans, not just ours. Russia seems to do a better job for the regimes there at fighting them than the US or France, though recently the US has become more flexible at who it will let govern in the Sahel. She also seems to support Netanyahu which says enough for how much she's worth. Yeah she's right about Ukraine & was definitely right about Syria but that's not enough. Why do we need to settle for these middling people who aren't even experts? Granted she's better than anyone near the white house currently, but that's a very low bar.

The KBR Haliiburton industrial complex is the direct result or republican policies as were both wars prior to 911. Read Kinslers Crossing the Rubicon for the full on paper trail and realize just how deeply the inside job narrative goes when you follow the money. KBR in particular made billions from importing heroine, which was ultimately what Afghanistan and Iraq were mostly about. I have no love for the dysfunction of the democratic party, but compared to the pure evil that is the republican cadre, well it leaves little choice to those that have actually done their homework and who are truly anti war.

People who have seen war dont think we should keep doing it for shallow reasons. Politicians in the main are too far away from reality and too keen to use it as the first option. Often because they financially gain from it and do not face the consequences or fight in it.

Great interview!! Thank you!
Enlightening as to why things were so expensive. I was drafted into the Army (also a medic) at the close of Vietnam, starting pay $67/month and was always puzzled how Iraq could have been so expensive, even with large pay increases as the Army became all-volunteer, and even with the cost of equipment. It just never added up to me whenever the cost was stated to be in the trillion$. My family members who served in Iraq did have very highly negative views of KBR. I was surprised that when they came back, they frequently would say something like “it’s all about the money.”
Thank you for your honesty and great conversation. Both of you are a credit to the benefits of honor integrity and meaningful thought.

When I was in the AF I was a part of a team of bomber mechanics who would be bused out to a secrete base to service returning bombers during a nuclear war as the main base would be gone. During an exercise, I over heard two lieutenants with side arms, part of security command, talking about how they where going to be stacking security guards on the runway like cord wood, now the mechanics, we'll keep them alive as long as we can letting them out at timed intervals to work on the returning bombers to minimize radiation poisoning until they are over come. The message was clear, refuse and it will be bullet to the head. One of them looked up at me and smirked. Nuclear war is all out and forever. How people today cannot understand this I don't understand.
