Hello everyone. Thank you so much for joining me for today's episode of The Tulsi Gabbard Show.

I appreciate that you've taken the time to spend a little bit of your day with me, especially

because the issue that we're talking about is the most important issue that's facing us

today, us, the American people and people of the world. And that's the issue of nuclear

war. The most important responsibility that any president has in this country is to keep

the American people safe, to make sure that we are safe and free. But as you and I are sitting

here today, the reality is that our president and Democratic Party War mongers have pushed

us to the precipice of nuclear war. This is the most urgent existential threat facing

the American people in the world today. This is not something new, however. This didn't

just magically appear overnight, catching all of our leaders by surprise. I ran for president

in 2020 because I knew that this is where we were headed. I saw all of the signs pointing

urgently in this direction. It's why every day on the campaign, I raised this issue.

I talked about the dangers that we face of this new Cold War, this nuclear arms race, this

getting rid of non-nuclear proliferation treaties. I brought it up on the national debate

stage, but every single time I was confronted with the reality that politicians refused

to talk about it, the media refused to cover it. They ignored it. They didn't care.

An exasperated reporter, I remember after one of my town halls, the reporters were traveling

with us around the country. Frankly, they're embedded reporters. They heard the things that

I was saying every day at these different town halls and different cities and communities.

One of them came up to me and said, my gosh, Tulsi, why do you always talk about nuclear

war? Like enough already. They didn't care then and they don't care now. It's because

they don't care about us. They don't care about our planet. They don't care about the fact
