the true believer is defecting from the inside in a second term that he designed to have no defections, that is even more damaging to him. And he's done everything he can to try to threaten and intimidate people in that administration to not do what Joe Kent did. And I think you're right. And Tulsa Gabbard is flirting with that line. I'm not even sure I would. If she knows quite where she is going to end up,

you could see it in her face as she testified, who's not ready to be having this conversation

about a forever war in Iran. You could tell she wanted to stand up. Independent Americans around the country and around the world.
