I am a senior, born and raised in Hawaii, so I know Tulsi quite well as a politician. I believe strongly that she Should recommend people who feel like she does, as I do, to be independent. But to tell people to just leave the Democratic Party and basically go to The Republican Party is like jumping into the fire from the frying pan. I like being independent, because that’s who I’ve always been. This year I will choose the Democratic party when I vote in the primary. In the general election, I have always chosen the person and not the party when I chose my votes.😊
So you won't vote for her if Trump chooses her as his VP? You should watch some of her interviews about Trump. He's actually not as bad as the mainstream media has painted him as. I always voted Democrat but after doing my diligent homework I realized that the smear campaign on Trump had me completely brainwashed. Biden is dangerous because he's not actually making the decisions and there is a LOT of smoke and mirrors going on that are quite terrifying.
Their support of endless wars. Their support of open borders. Their using the Dept of Justice to put their political opponent in jail. Their practice of censorship with those who have different opinions.@@SteveM-gj2vy
How could someone who's "independent" only blasts democrats and praise MAGA? I thought Chris would be smart enough to see right though her "independent" bs.
Regarding intensely emoting college protestors, youth fall prey when history is not taught in school as it happened. As historian Michael Imhotep says, “your understanding of politics is directly related to your understanding of history.” This conversation felt right leaning, in that the Dem’s were accused of wanting to “take over power” and Dem’s are “against independent thought as a direct threat to their power.” This is an over-blown & magnified blanket statement. I have a question, on surveillance, shouldn’t everyday Americans be protected from Herculean advances towards exploitation & abuse by big tech/economic bullies & monopolizers? I would love to be recommended a conversation where either Chris or non-conformist people are having a thought provoking conversation & unpack this presumption of Dem’s more. Let’s be clear, we cannot fairly say the Dem’s are tribal without saying the same of the Republican party. Democrats have advocated descent of their leaders. I deeply value inner-peace, community / national peace & wellbeing and freedom. ♦️Denying workers to come together & unionize for workers’ rights & fair treatment is not freedom ♦️Leaving weapons of mass destruction (war weapons) on the streets, that repeatedly end up in school shootings, murdering little boys & girls is not the freedom Americans are hoping for ♦️Taking away our children’s freedom to read & understand history as it happened is not freedom ♦️Threatening to take away the people’s vote if not favorable to the losing Presidential candidate is not freedom ♦️Policing a woman’s body, denying her the freedom to choose (by banning abortions) is not freedom ♦️Exposing Americans to harm by removing environmental protections for safe air & water (the Chevron deference) is not Americans’ idea of true freedom The above are clear over-reaches from within the Republican party (which is against the interest of the majority of American people) and was failed to be directly challenged in this conversation.
Your post exceptionally assays the detrimental domestic and foreign policy tenets of the Republican Party, which is certainly the case with the outrageous Trumpster/Republican political predilections that are absurd to obscene proportions. As far as Tulsi Gabbard, her precipitous 180-degree about-face sociopolitical economic drastic tectonic shifts virtually overnight Trumpster/Republican conversion. Should be suspect of her harboring cryptic clandestine artifice for ulterior motives. The abrupt departure from the Democratic Party to an impetuous averred Republican and incredulous expeditious adaptive Trumpster/Republican is surreal and evokes questioning Tulsi Gabbard's sincerity. An individual with a modicum of political sophistication will question Tulsi's integrity and surmise the thought. Does Tulsi Gabbard have character?
I can’t believe I’m watching your podcast. I’ve cussed you for years. However, I’ve come to tolerate you after your first appearance on PBD and then TCN. Seems like you have finally found some common sense since leaving lamestream media.
I totally agree. I thought him and his brother were deplorable during Covid. It’s sad that it took him getting Covid in this form to actually wake up. It’s all rhetoric until it happens to you.
Trump is crazy if he doesn't choose this woman as his VP. I am an independent also. I used to think Trump was the closest thing we'd ever get to having an independent in the White House. (He had been a member of multiple parties during his life, but mostly Democrat.) Now I believe Tulsi is the closest thing to a true independent that will ever be in the White House. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of the end of both of these awful parties.
Finally. You are the first person who I've seen understand that Trump is not a (R) or (D) in actual reality he's a Cultural Populist and if you are interested in reading an interesting set of articles that per year go in line with him. The Tony Blair Institute and look at the Cultural Populists in office in 2018 and if you pay attention it maps out exactly what has happened in Cultural Populist movement and how it declined and why. Sorry for the random message but I saw your opinion and I thought you'd be interested
Can't happen. Trump is balls deep in MAGA, and Tulsi espouses freedom of speech. They are diametric opposites. Trump may now be the most politicized politician. Maga only believes in Maga speech and outright hates everything else.
She is no Independent dude, she is a clear Trumper/ MAGA if there ever was one, which is laughable how she has flipped from several years ago....really thought she had disappeared until her media run here recently.
She's an independent. I'm a Libertarian but I still support trump. You got two choices the Socialist Progressive wackadoodle on the left or Trump who makes a lot more sense to me. Here's an example compare the Democrats and CNN deny their any problems at the border for years. Now they finally have no choice but to acknowledge it LOL
@@bobbymoore6013 hate to break this to you but Independence can support Democrats and then they can support Republicans that's why they're called independent sweetheart. And Tulsi was more of a moderate Democrat the way the Democratic party used to be the way the party was when I was a democrat. Left that party in 2016 became an independent. So I noticed I'm starting to vote more Republican because the Democrats have become unhinged and become the party of socialists not the party of JFK any longer. But for you to say what she is is wrong. You don't know what she's registered as and honestly what does it matter she left the party, JFK Junior left the party Alan dershowitz left the party does it mean that they're Republicans or totally mega. But there's only two candidates you need to support the whack-a-doodle Communist Kamala or you support a man that's already been president that's proven himself when the country was doing much better. Like he said are you better off now than you were four years later. Anyone their right mind could say no we're not better off now
she is not intelligent and she is a big sellout. worst of all she swore to defend this country from enemies like russia and now she is a mouth piece for putin.
The comments🥴 The majority of Americans are center left or center right. Critical thinking, common sense and the obligation to question our government and their agendas are 100% vital going forward. Step outside of your group-think for five seconds, listen and reevaluate. Things aren’t good here anymore.
Tulsi Gabbard isnt center anything if she was ready to be Trump’s VP. She’s an opportunist, who’s politically flexible and will sell out for where the power blows her.
*We really need to stop accepting people's self-proclamations and judge them solely by their actions, across the board. Tulsi Gabbard just said she'd be "honored" being Trump's running mate. This is not the position of a political independent, it's the position of a right-leaning opportunist.*
She doesn't claim to be an independent. She has already said she switched to the Republican a year ago. I always voted Democrat up until this Year. Not all Republicans are far right hill billies. I'm Latina and my entire family is voting for him. I consider myself more independant , but some of my values are starting to align more like a or a Right leaning Independent. Also - I HATED Trump up until I started to unravel the literal smear campaign they have been doing on him. We don't have to like him as a person or be his friend, but he literally is an excellent business man and did an excellent job getting the countries to all work together. I would really recommend checking out Tulsi's youtube and digging a little more and you'll understand more where she stands. She also has a book that is excellent that I highly recommend listening to as an audio book - I truly believe she is genuine, she comes from Hawaii and I do think she's the kind of person that wants to unite. Just because you're democrat, republican or independant, doesn't mean you can't work together to fix the 💩 hole of these divided states.
Tulsi Gabbard is an opportunist. She makes a drastic precipitous tectonic shift to a Trumpster/Republican. Any individual with a modicum of political sophistication would question the query. What is the cryptic clandestine motive for Tulsi Gabbard's 180-degree about-face expeditious wile to a Trumpster/Republican?
@@Mor928 I don't think there's anything clandestine about Gabbard's MAGA embrace, I think it's pretty clear and out in the open. If you're black, gay, a minority of any kind, a disenchanted former anything-left-of-GOP (Democrat, socialist, union member, etc.) and you're willing to sell your soul, it's easy to make a quick buck as a GOP opportunist because the GOP loves tokens they can hold up to show their "diversity" and "honesty". On the left, for example, someone like Tim Scott would be just another fish in a big sea of diversity. But within the GOP, he can be thoroughly mediocre and always have a place as a cheerful token. The great irony is that if you want to find DEI hires, you'll find them on the right.
But Trump is not a true Republican sweetie. He's very liberal on social issues most social issues. Abortion may be something where he differs. He has no issues with gay people having the same rights as straight people. I see her as an independent. But she agrees with enough of a Trump's policies to support him. You're not going to agree with everything that a candidate stands for. But the left has become unhinged unhinged. That's why you have RFK Jr Alan dershowitz and many other prominent Democrats leaving the party. I left in 2016
@@mgcuriel I still don't like Trump, but the other side is just incompetent, and they are borderline evil. Trump may be a narcissist, which makes him sell serving. Evil people do self destructive things to harm others .
@@roccitynewyork490he was a show when he worked at cnn. He was a complete radical liberal and now he's all the sudden change which tells me that CNN controls what their reporters say on are. I had a friend who worked at CNN and he was told to put only negative stories about Trump when he wanted to put a positive story. CNN is just a propaganda machine for the Democratic Party
She’ll follow whatever party will put her on a pedestal. I appreciate her contributions to the country but her ideology shifting from Democrat to Trump MAGA ideology is beyond me.
Not to me it isn't. I'm a former Democrat left the party in 2016. It's called research I've always said Liberals are actually conservatives who haven't done their research. But she's not a true Republican she is an independent. Trump is not a true Republican that's why so many Republicans do not like him. He's not part of that Elite group and they resent ham for it. Before Trump ran for president all the politicians celebrities professional sports people all love Donald trump. That's cuz he fights against the political system and so does tulsi. They're actually very similar
Tulsi Gabbard has undoubtedly revealed she has no character or moral fiber, perhaps not a conscience. Less than four years ago, Tulsi Gabbard professed to be a devout Hare Krishna devotee. Hare Krishna is a spiritual faith practice that mirrors the religious faith of Mahatma Gandhi, a Hindu. Less than four years ago, Tulsi Gabbard made a drastic 180-degree about-face, highly likely an insincere turnabout in her religious faith from Hare Krishna spiritual practice to the Republican Party. Even worse an appalling abrupt shift to a Trumpster/Republican at that. Hare Krishna spiritual practices are antithetical to the fundamental tenets of the Republican Party. Moreover, it is a ghastly transformation to a Trumpster/Republican at that. Tulsi's glibness articulates her transition to the Republican Party devoid of a dialog ever referencing an iota of her past Hare Krishna spiritual practice is incontrovertible certainty Tulsi Gabbard lacks moral fiber. And is not to be trusted.
She speaks the truth. The only way to turn around politics in this country is to have more politicians breaking away from the control of the Republican and Democratic parties & becoming Independent. Kudos to Chris for not being afraid to bring us these conversations.
She’s not independent if she’s willing to be Trump’s running mate. She’s about power, not values and ethics. This woman’s not as bright as she thinks she is.
Improperly using adjective for Democrats is a signature brand for Republicans, and Tulsi did exactly that, right here. IT"S called the "Democratic Party" NOT the "Democrat Party". Virtue Signaling an improper use of the adjective that way is juvenile.
She is no Independent dude and thats fine, but be honest, she is a clear Trumper/ MAGA if there ever was one, which is laughable how she has flipped from several years ago....really thought she had disappeared until her media run here recently.
@@bobbymoore6013 I agree, Except she’s not a maga either: The Democrats in Hawaii didn’t like her, so she goes wherever she can be seen and be paid. Her decisions on The people in authority she tries to cozy up to…is faltered.
Lifelong MA Democrat and lesbian mother of three here… I love Tulsi. I feel like she encapsulates my own disappointment with where my party has ended up… Will proudly be voting for Trump this year whereas I protested against him in the women’s March after he was elected last time… Wacky journey, but I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the Dems. Glad Chris is waking up too ❤
@@rosemaryalles6043 Of course I'm sure you've done your due diligence and I can understand everyone's frustrations.. if you're into podcasts at all the Bulwark podcast is a bunch of republican insiders who are grounded and moral who are all sounding the alarm for a second Trump term would likely mean. Worth a listen if you are even considering him. Hope you have a wonderful day.
I considered myself a democrat when I was younger, but as I've gotten older and started thinking for myself I became an independent because I refuse to accept everything a party says because that's the party I affiliate with.
Another podcast that I didn't think I would enjoy listening to. Dove in and watched and really appreciated almost everything Tulsi Gabbard had to say. She is intelligent and thank you for your service and serving in public office.
Sounds like Chris has had some serious perspective changes since being booted by CNN. Good for him. I can now listen to him. Does some very good interviews now. Much better now he is gone from CNN.
I have a feeling he'll be waking up soon. He's asking questions. I was just there during the Pandemic. Always voted Dem and now I'm Independent and Voting TRUMP! I'm not full Rep but the Dems have gone to 💩Never in a million years thought I would hear myself say that as I actually cried when Trump got voted into office 2016...oh how the times have changed!
@@mgcurielwhat's the Democrat until 2016. Voted for a bomber in the primaries. Couldn't stand Hillary at all. When Obama won the primaries I started doing research. Reading books scouring the internet. What I read I did not like about Obama so I voted for a Republican president. I've always told Democrats you need to do your research. The mainstream media is run by liberals. 96% the media is run by liberals. Most of it is propaganda. Interesting how Chris Cuomo who was so obnoxious on CNN and I could not stand them I actually watch his podcast now. I don't know if you had an Awakening or he was just under the thumb of CNN because I know people that have worked there and said that CNN controls what is on the are a friend of mine was a junior producer when Trump first ran he wanted to put a positive piece on Trump and his boss said no we only put negative pieces on trump. He also told me that they were lying to the American people about the polls when Hillary and Trump were running for president. That's why Democrats were in shock when Trump won. Trump supporters got different polls. It's pretty sad that we can't even have news that just get facts instead of opinions but that's what happens when you get cable TV in 24-hour news cycle. There are many times I wish we could go back to the way it used to be before cable where the news was just news for half an hour and nobody's opinion
@@jdub6766 Your assertions are based on fantasies woven by a grifting con artist. The Clintons could care less about Gabbard. Her state REJECTED her and she ran over to the other side. People like AOC are considered to be more of a threat.
There was a bipartisan boarder bill on the table. The Republicans voted against it at Trump's direction. Why was this not discussed? I would have liked to hear her opinion on that.
It was a pathetic bill, also no bill is necessary to secure the border. The president has the authority, and obligation to keep the border secure. Biden simply prefers an open border.
@@rennyskiathitis8178no, there’s laws. They can do executive orders, but like Trump, one lawsuit can stop it. Only a law passed by Congress can fix the border. This shows your ignorance
Great interview. You’re both good people. I love she is brave enough to say what a lot of us are thinking these days about parties. Thanks Chris for you and Tulsi efforts to try and bring us back together.
Hi Chris! I recently started watching you on News Nation and it has been a very refreshing experience! It is great to see a former mainstream media personality that has become an objective news person that is trying to just deal with the facts as best you can. I now feel that these other news sources like News Nation, and people like you, are going to dominate the news space in pretty short order. Thank you very much and keep up the great work!!!
Donald Trump should pick her as his VP pick. Legacy is the reason. After four years, she runs on the Republican ticket and wins the presidency. The first woman president he would go down in history. And as somebody who’s more on the Republican side, I would be very happy with her.
I’m about to be 57 years old in a couple of months my parents came from Cuba in the 50s late 50s. My two brothers were born there and I was the first born American in the United States of my family. 57 years later, we still do this day, even with everything that has happened on that island, still talk about it and we do not let it go. If we forget it they were doomed to repeat it the very reason for my people to be where they are because we do not ever forget what happened and what we had to go through, leaving our home country to come to a different country, because we were afraid of the way they were running their government and that shall not happen to anyone anywhere in the world, including here. We as a nation should know better. It is the reason why we accept those from other countries is because we should know better what it’s liketo have our countries dictate to us what we should do. We should know better.
Thank you Chris, I enjoy hearing your open chats with such a wide group of people, whether you agree with them or not it is clearing what we truly need more of, an honest exchange of ideas with out the yelling or the consent interruption of the other person being interviewed. Now let the tomatoes be thrown at me for say this i Love Tulsi, whether or not one agrees or disagrees with her on any given subject, we can agree she gives you the reason for her opinion on the matter whether with facts that anyone can go and look at, or from her own personnel experience. So yes i stand with Tulsi
Men don’t follow titles, they follow courage -Braveheart, William Wallace Tulsi is demonstrating the ultimate courage given by God to use her platform to help save America 🇺🇸 GOD BLESS TULSI AND GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
The fact that she left the Democratic party and is now trying to convince people to vote for trump is hilarious to me. That we should all vote for a racist, Wanna-Be dictator makes no sense at all.
I am supporting RFK JR 2024 but having her as a VP for Trump is a good thing. I would prefer to see her as Secretary of State under an RFK JR Presidency.
I love her too! That's because she was raise in Hawaii and knows the spirit of Aloha! I lived there 10 years and the people there are very much very open and compassionate, it's such a different mindset where people are very accepting of each other regardless of politics and not as divided. I really hope Trump chooses her for VP! They would make such a great Duo and I think they could really help unite or divided states of America
Sounds like the Democratic smear campaign Hillary ran on her as a retaliation for voting for Bernie worked on you! Do more research, you clearly haven't heard her actual side of the story
Chris im so happy that you are now away from that terrible cnn web of leftism, open hatred for any republicans, you and lemon together was a tragic sight to see. I hated listening to the two of you. But now I'm enjoying listening to you, your openness and fairness, well done brother. I'm a centre right supporter, don't like extreme left or right, moderate centre left and right politics is the ONLY way for America to go.
"United we stand" was meant for "we the people" not the parties. The problem is "we the people" have not figured that out. Those who have been elected from both parties have which is why there is tribalism. I like Tulsi, always have. She is intelligent, articulate and has an understanding of the past, present and future.
@@Think-dont-believe Probably because she knows how hard it is for a third party candite to get on the ballot in all 50 states. She said she would not run for President as an Independant when she announced that she left the Democratic party. It makes sense because if you want to position yourself in a place to make real change, you need to know where best to do that.
@@Think-dont-believe I can't speak to that other than to say both parties are guilty of lying and misrepresenting things to the public. Behind closed doors they are all laughing at us. I think we live in complicated times, we do not need government overreach (both parties different reach) complicating things. The Senate is a body elected by their state to represent theirs states best interest. The House members are elected by the people of the congressional district (Jerrymandered) which is why they seldom seem to be presenting the people. The President is elected by an electoral collage, why? The people MUST be responsible for electing the President. Remove the electoral collage, add ranked voting and we will solve much of this craziness. IMO.
@@eighties73 That's exactly right! The only way we will ever start to 'Fix' the two party system is from the inside. I hope Trump is smart enough, and forward thinking enough, to see that and does not choose a party 'shoe-in'.
Intelligent enough to back someone who tried to overthrow and election? Intelligent enough to vote present when that same individual tried to force a foreign government to provide "dirt" on a political rival. Bear in mind that the foreign government was at that time threatened by Russia. That is who you think should lead the country?!!
I already ditched Democrats four years ago and I’m never going back. The “Democratic” party is completely unrecognizable from the party it used to be and has abandoned its old base.
Please explain how so. She has said the same things for years and especially while she was running for President in 2020. As a candidate in the Democrat Party, she had to sign an agreement to back the DNC nominee (unfortunately). She did have to leave the Party and not back them as she found out how they have been captured by the ELITES that do not represent the values they once did.
@@gailbuffington9294 Trump craps in a golden toilet and has since he was young. RFKjr is an outcast of one of the most storied families in America. They’re all crazy wealthy. Biden was actually working class and lived that as well as his parents. Stop buying the BS propaganda.
There are no shortcuts to find here. Sorry, but "it's the party's fault!" won't fix things. It is going to require personal accountability, effort, cooperation, and participation from each one of us. Period.
Tulsi is an awesome woman. A true patriot, and she truly loves this country. On to Chris Cuomo - Chris, I didn't use to like you when you were at CNN. I must tell you, since you left CNN most whom I know are beginning to like man. I watched you few times on PBD, New Nation with Bill O and I just subscribed. And lastly, as you say we many not agree on some topics but we do care about this country and some common concerns..., but I can tell you're a good people..... Nice JOB CC...
She left the Democratic Party because she was never really a liberal or even left-leaning to begin with. The Democrats have a LOT of problems that need to be sorted out, for sure, but you can't be against nearly every fundamental issue that the party has a position on and then try and argue how that is the fault of the party versus the reality that she played her political game wrong. Which is why she is widely viewed as irrelevant on both sides of the aisle. She's the beta version of Kirsten Sinema.
I am 20 years older than Tulsi. She is saying things I pushed for 20 years ago. Gotta love her! Totally impressed that your voice is being heard. Bravo to Chris for giving you the opportunity. My trust for you, Chris just went up.
How about donating to the hundreds of thousands living on the streets in America??? Many of whom are “children” Is this just being politically correct?? Do you give a shit… about American’s?? 10K could feed, clothe and help MANY of our citizens Don’t say that we don’t suffer look at Kensington Square/California We have 3rd world conditions in THIS country!
Chris you were “sheeple” on CNN just saying whatever they told you to and that was misinformation. An independent Critical Thinker doesn’t go along with falsehoods for money or popularity
Its the Democrat party. Democratic is a type of governance, of which the US uses the principles but not a true democracy but a representative or constitutional republic. There is a big big big difference.
I would respect her more if she wasn’t wanting to be Trump’s VP. I just don’t understand. I believe she really cares about the country but on the other side of her mouth she is all about Trump. How could one even consider being associated with someone I feel really hates our country. Yes, I really feel Trump hates America. He just wants power.
It's "Democratic" Party not "Democrat" Party. The fact that Ms. Gabbard uses the incorrect latter term in her book title (despite being a member of that party for years) is such an unforced error that reveals her true intentions lol
Wow ! So much better than CNN, your interviews are outstanding. I stopped watching the regular news because of the it’s them or us mentality. Tulsi is the best and I wish you well.
Its frustrating to keep explaining free speech to people who keep pretending to not know the 1st amendment, when it's their side who's being offended. Tulsi sucks. Just plain and simple.
Chris, first time long time. I know you well. Best compliment I can provide you: you have allowed yourself to evaluate based upon the facts as they compile….. ever since you left CNN. You returned to your legal roots without Zucker/CNN producer and ideology group think owning your ear. You and most of the extended NewsNation team are doing a proper job. Great transparent conversation with Tulsi. You missed the final layup right at the end when discussing boating/football teams/politics. The reason in politics it’s an isolated position is the DAILY hammering from social to MSM to the parties themselves that the other party is 100% wrong and I’m right. There is no alternative to go. There’s a 3rd party candidate with a political legacy that’s polling significant to make an impact and he’s not afforded a security detail? How unAmerican is that? It’s an orchestrated effort of the media/parties to constantly hammer the hate. You’d have the same problem if baseball was only the Yankees and RedSox and eliminated the other 30 teams. The same if Baskin Robbins took out 29 other flavors and left with just chocolate and vanilla(actually crap and crap with sprinkles) . Coke Pepsi, etc. Just think about how dominant Coke/Pepsi was but now we’ve greatly expanded our drinking choices. Sure you might be paying Coke and Pepsi largely but the diversity of choice applies. But the 1980s concept applies here politically. Think about what Jan Hus and Martin Luther did to the Church. They spoke up and held the Church to account. They paid a price but Protestantism proliferated. That systemic display of hate and competitive lockout is what keeps everything in check for the 2 kingpins. In a country that thrives on competitive landscape for best options, its leadership is the exact opposite of it.
Lockout in the Democrat party is purly by the immature youth. No older Democrat is a kingpin. More mature Democrats know we all are entitled to our opinions and preferences, including MAGA, but it is the radical immature youth that cause all the trouble in the Democrat party.
JB&DT are false choices. Kennedy and Shanahan can heal our nation and restore democracy. You owe it to this nation as a citizen to think critically. You should at least hear Kennedy out. If you’re open-minded and listen, you’ll understand.
She chose Trump knowing she's diametrically his evil opposite. The mess when they try to campaign together... Trump espousing MAGA, and Gabbard espousing freedom of speech. lol. I N C O M P A T I B L E. One thing I'll say about Trump is he has good instincts, and his instincts will steer him to the other end of the universe from Gabbard.
Chris, as a fellow NY’er and Italian growing up at about the same era in life as yourself which was wonderful, I used to like you when you first came on cnn many years ago. Then you took a hard left hand turn and got sucked in by the wokeness and kissed up to lemon who I can’t stand to listen to. Even now, I watch you sneer as you hit tulsi with questions like your trying to trap her or catch her in an “ah ha” moment. Just be yourself Chris, stop with the gotcha BS, it will take you alot further. Anyway I can’t believe I’m saying this but this was a good interview, I love tulsi, she’s a thinker, she’s compassionate about her love for this country, she’s pro 2A, she wants to bring back law and order into this country before it’s too late…
I believe Trump is not a Republican by definition he's more of an establishment & media disruptive anomaly with both conservative & liberal views..it's not about leaving democrats and becoming a Republican but supporting the person with the country's best interest! Right now, that's Trump!
Chris doesn't believe them, he doesn't believe the military generals who've spoken against Trump, Chris is pretending to be "independent minded" by appeasing the far-right and feeding into their ideology by playing on the supposed existential threat of the far-right.
Love this attitude Chris! I think it's about getting people in office who care about the issues and are willing to have a consultation about solutions as opposed to just trying to get their idea to be the one that wins. One person's idea is rarely better than an idea that gets molded and honed by a group of people consulting in good faith
Tulsi is similar to Russell Brand. They both talk a lot and use a lot of generalities but hardly ever talk in specifics. It's truly frustrating to listen to her. She's intellectually dishonest.
The problem with Democrats is they wish to represent the people, so how can they take a stand unless it the wish of their constituency? And even then, Gabbard would wish to represent all the othes too. I respect that.
What you need to best describe Tulsa is easy. She has GRIT.. She is a strong person that will express her views always and she is nt afraid to do it. God Bless her. and you also, you are a spunky guy. love youe show
I have to unsubscribe- sad as at one time Chris was my go to for sanity - now, I must be missing something but he’s awfully accommodating of the Right wing
Its possible but he's going to have to do a LOT of groveling, accountability and a lot of time. I think he's awful for what he did so I don't trust him one bit but he's asking questions and if he keeps at it he'll finally disconnect from the Matrix. I was kind of woke myself before the pandemic and I'm now fully AWAKE!
I much prefer this centrist version of you. I hated your show during the 2016 campaign. You were delivering news with a blindfold on. Glad to see you have a balanced perspective now as i really enjoy your ability to deliver content.
She wants to keep her "independant" label. But I ask her...she would obviously hang that badge on the wall if she would join 45's team? Like he would allow that, eh? She would sell out to the power grab...sure as shit.
Yep. She uses the incorrect term "Democrat Party" in her book title instead of "Democratic Party" (despite being a member of that party for years) which should tell you all you need to know. I like Chris but I think he struggles with the difference between having open debate and hearing different points of view (which is absolutely crucial) with giving a platform to people who are not argung in good faith. Like someone like Ann Coulter (whatever you think of her) genuinely believes what she's saying and so you can engage with her and agree/disagree/challenge her what have you.
I am a senior, born and raised in Hawaii, so I know Tulsi quite well as a politician. I believe strongly that she Should recommend people who feel like she does, as I do, to be independent. But to tell people to just leave the Democratic Party and basically go to The Republican Party is like jumping into the fire from the frying pan. I like being independent, because that’s who I’ve always been. This year I will choose the Democratic party when I vote in the primary. In the general election, I have always chosen the person and not the party when I chose my votes.😊
Amen!
So you won't vote for her if Trump chooses her as his VP? You should watch some of her interviews about Trump. He's actually not as bad as the mainstream media has painted him as. I always voted Democrat but after doing my diligent homework I realized that the smear campaign on Trump had me completely brainwashed. Biden is dangerous because he's not actually making the decisions and there is a LOT of smoke and mirrors going on that are quite terrifying.
I bet you didn’t vote for Kamala
LOL Sorry Mike, you’re wrong again.
@@barbsilverton1334if you vote in the primaries you had to be a registered Democrat then. So that means you're not an independent.
I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me. I'm now an Independent.🇺🇸🗽

I don't want to be a member of any club that is endorsed by Dick and Liz Cheney.
How could someone who's "independent" only blasts democrats and praise MAGA? I thought Chris would be smart enough to see right though her "independent" bs.
Funny that Chris says leave hate out of politics while Tulsi who unsurprisingly endorsed Trump who AMPLIFY hate in politics 🤦🏾♂️
Regarding intensely emoting college protestors, youth fall prey when history is not taught in school as it happened.
As historian Michael Imhotep says, “your understanding of politics is directly related to your understanding of history.”
This conversation felt right leaning, in that the Dem’s were accused of wanting to “take over power” and Dem’s are “against independent thought as a direct threat to their power.”
This is an over-blown & magnified blanket statement.
I have a question, on surveillance, shouldn’t everyday Americans be protected from Herculean advances towards exploitation & abuse by big tech/economic bullies & monopolizers?
I would love to be recommended a conversation where either Chris or non-conformist people are having a thought provoking conversation & unpack this presumption of Dem’s more.
Let’s be clear, we cannot fairly say the Dem’s are tribal without saying the same of the Republican party.
Democrats have advocated descent of their leaders.
I deeply value inner-peace, community / national peace & wellbeing and freedom.
♦️Denying workers to come together & unionize for workers’ rights & fair treatment is not freedom
♦️Leaving weapons of mass destruction (war weapons) on the streets, that repeatedly end up in school shootings, murdering little boys & girls is not the freedom Americans are hoping for
♦️Taking away our children’s freedom to read & understand history as it happened is not freedom
♦️Threatening to take away the people’s vote if not favorable to the losing Presidential candidate is not freedom
♦️Policing a woman’s body, denying her the freedom to choose (by banning abortions) is not freedom
♦️Exposing Americans to harm by removing environmental protections for safe air & water (the Chevron deference) is not Americans’ idea of true freedom
The above are clear over-reaches from within the Republican party (which is against the interest of the majority of American people) and was failed to be directly challenged in this conversation.
Your post exceptionally assays the detrimental domestic and foreign policy tenets of the Republican Party, which is certainly the case with the outrageous Trumpster/Republican political predilections that are absurd to obscene proportions. As far as Tulsi Gabbard, her precipitous 180-degree about-face sociopolitical economic drastic tectonic shifts virtually overnight Trumpster/Republican conversion. Should be suspect of her harboring cryptic clandestine artifice for ulterior motives. The abrupt departure from the Democratic Party to an impetuous averred Republican and incredulous expeditious adaptive Trumpster/Republican is surreal and evokes questioning Tulsi Gabbard's sincerity. An individual with a modicum of political sophistication will question Tulsi's integrity and surmise the thought. Does Tulsi Gabbard have character?
I can’t believe I’m watching your podcast. I’ve cussed you for years. However, I’ve come to tolerate you after your first appearance on PBD and then TCN. Seems like you have finally found some common sense since leaving lamestream media.

Trump is crazy if he doesn't choose this woman as his VP. I am an independent also. I used to think Trump was the closest thing we'd ever get to having an independent in the White House. (He had been a member of multiple parties during his life, but mostly Democrat.) Now I believe Tulsi is the closest thing to a true independent that will ever be in the White House. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of the end of both of these awful parties.
Finally. You are the first person who I've seen understand that Trump is not a (R) or (D) in actual reality he's a Cultural Populist and if you are interested in reading an interesting set of articles that per year go in line with him. The Tony Blair Institute and look at the Cultural Populists in office in 2018 and if you pay attention it maps out exactly what has happened in Cultural Populist movement and how it declined and why. Sorry for the random message but I saw your opinion and I thought you'd be interested
Bye Felicia 👋
Stopped reading after Trump is crazy. Say no more.
and you are crazy for watching and listening to activist Chris cuomo who will never be a real journalist
Can't happen. Trump is balls deep in MAGA, and Tulsi espouses freedom of speech. They are diametric opposites. Trump may now be the most politicized politician. Maga only believes in Maga speech and outright hates everything else.
She is no Independent dude, she is a clear Trumper/ MAGA if there ever was one, which is laughable how she has flipped from several years ago....really thought she had disappeared until her media run here recently.
She's an independent. I'm a Libertarian but I still support trump. You got two choices the Socialist Progressive wackadoodle on the left or Trump who makes a lot more sense to me. Here's an example compare the Democrats and CNN deny their any problems at the border for years. Now they finally have no choice but to acknowledge it LOL
@@bobbymoore6013 hate to break this to you but Independence can support Democrats and then they can support Republicans that's why they're called independent sweetheart. And Tulsi was more of a moderate Democrat the way the Democratic party used to be the way the party was when I was a democrat. Left that party in 2016 became an independent. So I noticed I'm starting to vote more Republican because the Democrats have become unhinged and become the party of socialists not the party of JFK any longer. But for you to say what she is is wrong. You don't know what she's registered as and honestly what does it matter she left the party, JFK Junior left the party Alan dershowitz left the party does it mean that they're Republicans or totally mega. But there's only two candidates you need to support the whack-a-doodle Communist Kamala or you support a man that's already been president that's proven himself when the country was doing much better. Like he said are you better off now than you were four years later. Anyone their right mind could say no we're not better off now
Tulsi speaks the truth and she is extremely intelligent. Thanks Chris for having her on
she is not intelligent and she is a big sellout. worst of all she swore to defend this country from enemies like russia and now she is a mouth piece for putin.
The comments🥴 The majority of Americans are center left or center right. Critical thinking, common sense and the obligation to question our government and their agendas are 100% vital going forward. Step outside of your group-think for five seconds, listen and reevaluate. Things aren’t good here anymore.
Tulsi Gabbard isnt center anything if she was ready to be Trump’s VP. She’s an opportunist, who’s politically flexible and will sell out for where the power blows her.
No, they're not. That's why we're seeing far right & far left candidates winning, and pushing moderates/center pols out.

*We really need to stop accepting people's self-proclamations and judge them solely by their actions, across the board. Tulsi Gabbard just said she'd be "honored" being Trump's running mate. This is not the position of a political independent, it's the position of a right-leaning opportunist.*
She doesn't claim to be an independent. She has already said she switched to the Republican a year ago. I always voted Democrat up until this Year. Not all Republicans are far right hill billies. I'm Latina and my entire family is voting for him. I consider myself more independant , but some of my values are starting to align more like a or a Right leaning Independent. Also - I HATED Trump up until I started to unravel the literal smear campaign they have been doing on him. We don't have to like him as a person or be his friend, but he literally is an excellent business man and did an excellent job getting the countries to all work together. I would really recommend checking out Tulsi's youtube and digging a little more and you'll understand more where she stands. She also has a book that is excellent that I highly recommend listening to as an audio book - I truly believe she is genuine, she comes from Hawaii and I do think she's the kind of person that wants to unite. Just because you're democrat, republican or independant, doesn't mean you can't work together to fix the 💩 hole of these divided states.
Tulsi Gabbard is an opportunist. She makes a drastic precipitous tectonic shift to a Trumpster/Republican. Any individual with a modicum of political sophistication would question the query. What is the cryptic clandestine motive for Tulsi Gabbard's 180-degree about-face expeditious wile to a Trumpster/Republican?
@@Mor928 I don't think there's anything clandestine about Gabbard's MAGA embrace, I think it's pretty clear and out in the open. If you're black, gay, a minority of any kind, a disenchanted former anything-left-of-GOP (Democrat, socialist, union member, etc.) and you're willing to sell your soul, it's easy to make a quick buck as a GOP opportunist because the GOP loves tokens they can hold up to show their "diversity" and "honesty". On the left, for example, someone like Tim Scott would be just another fish in a big sea of diversity. But within the GOP, he can be thoroughly mediocre and always have a place as a cheerful token. The great irony is that if you want to find DEI hires, you'll find them on the right.
But Trump is not a true Republican sweetie. He's very liberal on social issues most social issues. Abortion may be something where he differs. He has no issues with gay people having the same rights as straight people. I see her as an independent. But she agrees with enough of a Trump's policies to support him. You're not going to agree with everything that a candidate stands for. But the left has become unhinged unhinged. That's why you have RFK Jr Alan dershowitz and many other prominent Democrats leaving the party. I left in 2016

She’ll follow whatever party will put her on a pedestal.
I appreciate her contributions to the country but her ideology shifting from Democrat to Trump MAGA ideology is beyond me.
She woke up of the nonsense of the Democratic Party. Good for her.
Not to me it isn't. I'm a former Democrat left the party in 2016. It's called research I've always said Liberals are actually conservatives who haven't done their research. But she's not a true Republican she is an independent. Trump is not a true Republican that's why so many Republicans do not like him. He's not part of that Elite group and they resent ham for it. Before Trump ran for president all the politicians celebrities professional sports people all love Donald trump. That's cuz he fights against the political system and so does tulsi. They're actually very similar
Tulsi Gabbard has undoubtedly revealed she has no character or moral fiber, perhaps not a conscience. Less than four years ago, Tulsi Gabbard professed to be a devout Hare Krishna devotee. Hare Krishna is a spiritual faith practice that mirrors the religious faith of Mahatma Gandhi, a Hindu. Less than four years ago, Tulsi Gabbard made a drastic 180-degree about-face, highly likely an insincere turnabout in her religious faith from Hare Krishna spiritual practice to the Republican Party. Even worse an appalling abrupt shift to a Trumpster/Republican at that. Hare Krishna spiritual practices are antithetical to the fundamental tenets of the Republican Party. Moreover, it is a ghastly transformation to a Trumpster/Republican at that. Tulsi's glibness articulates her transition to the Republican Party devoid of a dialog ever referencing an iota of her past Hare Krishna spiritual practice is incontrovertible certainty Tulsi Gabbard lacks moral fiber. And is not to be trusted.
All she is seeking is power, she is a on a power trip at all cost
@anitajanke6112 Tulsi is definitely on a power trip at 'virtually' all costs. It will never cost her character. Tulsi never had character.
She speaks the truth. The only way to turn around politics in this country is to have more politicians breaking away from the control of the Republican and Democratic parties & becoming Independent. Kudos to Chris for not being afraid to bring us these conversations.
She’s not independent if she’s willing to be Trump’s running mate. She’s about power, not values and ethics. This woman’s not as bright as she thinks she is.

Sounds like Chris has had some serious perspective changes since being booted by CNN. Good for him. I can now listen to him. Does some very good interviews now. Much better now he is gone from CNN.

@@mgcurielwhat's the Democrat until 2016. Voted for a bomber in the primaries. Couldn't stand Hillary at all. When Obama won the primaries I started doing research. Reading books scouring the internet. What I read I did not like about Obama so I voted for a Republican president. I've always told Democrats you need to do your research. The mainstream media is run by liberals. 96% the media is run by liberals. Most of it is propaganda. Interesting how Chris Cuomo who was so obnoxious on CNN and I could not stand them I actually watch his podcast now. I don't know if you had an Awakening or he was just under the thumb of CNN because I know people that have worked there and said that CNN controls what is on the are a friend of mine was a junior producer when Trump first ran he wanted to put a positive piece on Trump and his boss said no we only put negative pieces on trump. He also told me that they were lying to the American people about the polls when Hillary and Trump were running for president. That's why Democrats were in shock when Trump won. Trump supporters got different polls. It's pretty sad that we can't even have news that just get facts instead of opinions but that's what happens when you get cable TV in 24-hour news cycle. There are many times I wish we could go back to the way it used to be before cable where the news was just news for half an hour and nobody's opinion

It was a pathetic bill, also no bill is necessary to secure the border. The president has the authority, and obligation to keep the border secure. Biden simply prefers an open border.

Hi Chris! I recently started watching you on News Nation and it has been a very refreshing experience!

Donald Trump should pick her as his VP pick. Legacy is the reason. After four years, she runs on the Republican ticket and wins the presidency. The first woman president he would go down in history. And as somebody who’s more on the Republican side, I would be very happy with her.
I’m about to be 57 years old in a couple of months my parents came from Cuba in the 50s late 50s. My two brothers were born there and I was the first born American in the United States of my family. 57 years later, we still do this day, even with everything that has happened on that island, still talk about it and we do not let it go. If we forget it they were doomed to repeat it the very reason for my people to be where they are because we do not ever forget what happened and what we had to go through, leaving our home country to come to a different country, because we were afraid of the way they were running their government and that shall not happen to anyone anywhere in the world, including here. We as a nation should know better. It is the reason why we accept those from other countries is because we should know better what it’s liketo have our countries dictate to us what we should do. We should know better.

Please explain how so. She has said the same things for years and especially while she was running for President in 2020. As a candidate in the Democrat Party, she had to sign an agreement to back the DNC nominee (unfortunately). She did have to leave the Party and not back them as she found out how they have been captured by the ELITES that do not represent the values they once did.

I do agree with Cuomo on the two party system. We need more parties. And yes Tulsi would be right more times in ideas and policies than Cuomo

I’m a firm believer people can change and I have to say that I thought Chris was a jerk on cnn but I really like the person you have become.
She left the Democratic Party because she was never really a liberal or even left-leaning to begin with. The Democrats have a LOT of problems that need to be sorted out, for sure, but you can't be against nearly every fundamental issue that the party has a position on and then try and argue how that is the fault of the party versus the reality that she played her political game wrong.
Which is why she is widely viewed as irrelevant on both sides of the aisle. She's the beta version of Kirsten Sinema.

Its the Democrat party. Democratic is a type of governance, of which the US uses the principles but not a true democracy but a representative or constitutional republic. There is a big big big difference.
Ive been on the fence for awhile about 2024 between not voting, or voting third party, but if Trump picks her for VP ill vote for him.
She will end up just like Pence. The minute she goes against him, she will be on his bad side forever.
I would respect her more if she wasn’t wanting to be Trump’s VP. I just don’t understand. I believe she really cares about the country but on the other side of her mouth she is all about Trump. How could one even consider being associated with someone I feel really hates our country. Yes, I really feel Trump hates America. He just wants power.
Trump would be wise if he chose Tulsi as his VP. She's absolutely great
It's "Democratic" Party not "Democrat" Party. The fact that Ms. Gabbard uses the incorrect latter term in her book title (despite being a member of that party for years) is such an unforced error that reveals her true intentions lol
We have to stay focused on what's right and what's wrong.
Wow ! So much better than CNN, your interviews are outstanding. I stopped watching the regular news because of the it’s them or us mentality. Tulsi is the best and I wish you well.
Its frustrating to keep explaining free speech to people who keep pretending to not know the 1st amendment, when it's their side who's being offended. Tulsi sucks. Just plain and simple.
I don't understand what you are saying. Free speech is free speech no matter which side you are on. That is what she literally said.
another good one
Gabbard contradicted herself in the first few minutes. Fan of ''free speech'' but not if the ''free speech'' is what she does not want to hear!!
Like “kill all Jews”?
Lol...calls for genocide aren't covered under the first amendment.
@@mikec42 Is Tulsi going to be prosecuted then for supporting Putin et al's genocide of Ukranian residents?
Mahalo for this!
Chris, first time long time. I know you well.
Best compliment I can provide you: you have allowed yourself to evaluate based upon the facts as they compile….. ever since you left CNN. You returned to your legal roots without Zucker/CNN producer and ideology group think owning your ear. You and most of the extended NewsNation team are doing a proper job.
Great transparent conversation with Tulsi. You missed the final layup right at the end when discussing boating/football teams/politics. The reason in politics it’s an isolated position is the DAILY hammering from social to MSM to the parties themselves that the other party is 100% wrong and I’m right. There is no alternative to go. There’s a 3rd party candidate with a political legacy that’s polling significant to make an impact and he’s not afforded a security detail? How unAmerican is that?
It’s an orchestrated effort of the media/parties to constantly hammer the hate. You’d have the same problem if baseball was only the Yankees and RedSox and eliminated the other 30 teams. The same if Baskin Robbins took out 29 other flavors and left with just chocolate and vanilla(actually crap and crap with sprinkles) . Coke Pepsi, etc. Just think about how dominant Coke/Pepsi was but now we’ve greatly expanded our drinking choices. Sure you might be paying Coke and Pepsi largely but the diversity of choice applies. But the 1980s concept applies here politically. Think about what Jan Hus and Martin Luther did to the Church. They spoke up and held the Church to account. They paid a price but Protestantism proliferated.
That systemic display of hate and competitive lockout is what keeps everything in check for the 2 kingpins. In a country that thrives on competitive landscape for best options, its leadership is the exact opposite of it.
Lockout in the Democrat party is purly by the immature youth. No older Democrat is a kingpin. More mature Democrats know we all are entitled to our opinions and preferences, including MAGA, but it is the radical immature youth that cause all the trouble in the Democrat party.
Criticizing Israel is not anti-semitic
You have a choice! Democracy or authoritarian! 3rd party will not work in this election. Your choice !
DT&TG 2024?!
We are currently living in an authoritarian administration. Biden is killing Democracy.
JB&DT are false choices. Kennedy and Shanahan can heal our nation and restore democracy. You owe it to this nation as a citizen to think critically. You should at least hear Kennedy out. If you’re open-minded and listen, you’ll understand.
Great content Chris
She has legitimate concerns, but focuses on only one party. Didn't give direct answers about Trump. Ya gotta wonder....
Trump will never pick her, she's too smart and strong. He needs a toadie, Tim Scott or Elise Stefanik
She chose Trump knowing she's diametrically his evil opposite. The mess when they try to campaign together... Trump espousing MAGA, and Gabbard espousing freedom of speech. lol. I N C O M P A T I B L E. One thing I'll say about Trump is he has good instincts, and his instincts will steer him to the other end of the universe from Gabbard.
Chris, as a fellow NY’er and Italian growing up at about the same era in life as yourself which was wonderful, I used to like you when you first came on cnn many years ago. Then you took a hard left hand turn and got sucked in by the wokeness and kissed up to lemon who I can’t stand to listen to. Even now, I watch you sneer as you hit tulsi with questions like your trying to trap her or catch her in an “ah ha” moment. Just be yourself Chris, stop with the gotcha BS, it will take you alot further. Anyway I can’t believe I’m saying this but this was a good interview, I love tulsi, she’s a thinker, she’s compassionate about her love for this country, she’s pro 2A, she wants to bring back law and order into this country before it’s too late…
I believe Trump is not a Republican by definition he's more of an establishment & media disruptive anomaly with both conservative & liberal views..it's not about leaving democrats and becoming a Republican but supporting the person with the country's best interest! Right now, that's Trump!
Get rid of both parties. Allow only non-professional independents to run for office.
Half of Trump’s administration thinks he’s an existential threat and aren’t voting for him.
Why do we care what this grifter thinks?
Chris doesn't believe them, he doesn't believe the military generals who've spoken against Trump, Chris is pretending to be "independent minded" by appeasing the far-right and feeding into their ideology by playing on the supposed existential threat of the far-right.
Way to go Chris!! love your interviews
Keep up the great work, Chris!
Love this attitude Chris! I think it's about getting people in office who care about the issues and are willing to have a consultation about solutions as opposed to just trying to get their idea to be the one that wins. One person's idea is rarely better than an idea that gets molded and honed by a group of people consulting in good faith
Tulsi is similar to Russell Brand. They both talk a lot and use a lot of generalities but hardly ever talk in specifics. It's truly frustrating to listen to her. She's intellectually dishonest.
they both bring out the democrats that lie like a rug
The problem with Democrats is they wish to represent the people, so how can they take a stand unless it the wish of their constituency? And even then, Gabbard would wish to represent all the othes too. I respect that.
Tulsi is playing it smart. She will be specific when she needs to. Right now though, she is just trying to just express her overall value systems.
What you need to best describe Tulsa is easy. She has GRIT.. She is a strong person that will express her views always and she is nt afraid to do it. God Bless her. and you also, you are a spunky guy. love youe show
She is a Hare Krishna 😂 and a Flip flopper. Hawai’i rejected her platform. 👎🏼
Say something negative about Tulsi. You can't, because she's nothing but honorable.
she went from socialism to the right wing. she may as well be on a street corner
I have to unsubscribe- sad as at one time Chris was my go to for sanity - now, I must be missing something but he’s awfully accommodating of the Right wing
I’m here for Tulsi This guys history of BS is beyond coming back from
Its possible but he's going to have to do a LOT of groveling, accountability and a lot of time. I think he's awful for what he did so I don't trust him one bit but he's asking questions and if he keeps at it he'll finally disconnect from the Matrix. I was kind of woke myself before the pandemic and I'm now fully AWAKE!
Trump/Tulsi 24
United we Stand 🇺🇸
I much prefer this centrist version of you. I hated your show during the 2016 campaign. You were delivering news with a blindfold on. Glad to see you have a balanced perspective now as i really enjoy your ability to deliver content.
💯.
She wants to keep her "independant" label. But I ask her...she would obviously hang that badge on the wall if she would join 45's team? Like he would allow that, eh? She would sell out to the power grab...sure as shit.
How could anybody vote Democrat these days? I just don’t get it.
Because you have a loser in Trump!
There about as many who say that about Republicans.
@@davidgmillsatty1900 and in my humble opinion, just as valid of a question
@@danlopez.3592 That’s why I support RFKJ.
Amazing interview! Thank you for having her on!
Grifter. She goes where the wind blows
You sir are a sheep
Yep. She uses the incorrect term "Democrat Party" in her book title instead of "Democratic Party" (despite being a member of that party for years) which should tell you all you need to know. I like Chris but I think he struggles with the difference between having open debate and hearing different points of view (which is absolutely crucial) with giving a platform to people who are not argung in good faith. Like someone like Ann Coulter (whatever you think of her) genuinely believes what she's saying and so you can engage with her and agree/disagree/challenge her what have you.
@@kiroolioneaver8532Lmao Ann Coulter is a fraud and a joke.
