Summary

4-Term Congresswoman, U.S. Army veteran, and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard sits down with Bridget to talk about her new book, For Love of Country: Leave The Democrat Party Behind. She and Bridget discuss making people on both sides angry, why people feel threatened when someone tells the truth, being grounded in God, when Democrats stopped talking about God, being open to shifting your opinion as you learn more, witnessing an extreme radicalization of the Democratic party, and who actually holds the power in D.C. They also cover the flaws in our voting system, the possibility for a 3rd party candidate in this election, why she wants to do away with the Department of Education, focusing on the fundamentals of who we are as a country, how nihilism is a one way train that leads to nowhere, being grateful for the opportunities to serve, why we should be willing to engage with people with different backgrounds and different mindsets, and why she still feels hopeful because the real power in this country lies in the hands of the people.
