It's ironic that as I was typing this comment I heard her stutter (see 5:39).

[@keenkingjames]

[@TxRiverElf]

They ARE competing for the Democratic Primary nomination. To say otherwise, is like saying Bernie and EVERY other Democrat running for that nomination, is 'working together'. Are you willing to say that? Is Beto, Kamala, Joe, Pete, Amy, Elizabeth and every other Dem candidate working in a coalition, with Bernie? No... they are not. Neither is Tulsi. Not even though she does happen to share many of his views on domestic issues, as everyone who actually checks her out, understands. Bernie has the 'first love' affections of modern progressives. Tulsi fairly shared that first love. BUT SHE HAS MATURED and is far beyond Bernie now, in progressive thinking and in actual understanding, what is going on in the world today and what a true Commander in Chief must do, to preserve and serve America's true best interests. Something else that sticks out like a sore thumb is the fact that Tulsi entered the race before Bernie. Bernie did not practice what he preaches, about what we can DO TOGETHER. He could have stepped up to support her candidacy, as she had supported his in 2016 and kept the real progressive support united. Instead, Bernie chose to run against her. He is NOT as honest, knowledgeable, and BOLD as the younger and yet more globally experienced, Tulsi Gabbard. Bernie is hoeing the easy rows; Tulsi is prepared to clear the weeds and remove the rocks!! Her HONESTY is not a 'socialist thing' that Trump can invoke hatred to rise against... to win another four years... as is the real potential, right or wrong, where Bernie is concerned. Tulsi is a PROGRESSIVE Democrat who speaks with the calm of certainty, that courage and honesty easily maintains, in order to UNITE our citizenry and best serve our COMMON NEEDS and potentials.

One standard western propaganda line claims that "the Assad regime" is responsible for ALL of the hundreds of thousands of deaths in Syria since war broke out there in 2011. That claim is simply false. The people promoting this narrative invariably neglect the fact that the west, the Gulf States and Turkey began a billion-dollar-a-year regime change operation there, deliberately supporting the most extreme Syrian Sunnis against the majority of Sunnis and all religious minorities. (A 2012 DIA document admitted that "a Salafist principality in eastern Syria" is "exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want") And there is NO SUCH THING as a regime change operation that is not supported by lies, exaggerations, and suppression of voices in the target societies who do not support the narrative of the regime-changers promoted by the always willing western media-NGO complex - another key fact, even before examination of particulars, that responsible people must always bear in mind. We have an OBLIGATION to be extremely skeptical toward claims that are used to support interventionist war.

[@hrivera6941]

In Cali there were millions of "provisional" ballots which were not counted during the primary. People voted on provisionals cuz they were either stripped from the rolls or they were told they were signed to register to vote by mail when it was not the case. The primary was semi-open so u needed to ask for a "cross-over" dem ballot of you were an independent. The Independent ballots did not have dem or rep candidates so people would write Bernie's name by hand and those ballots were not counted. It just should not be that hard to vote in primaries. Also cosed primaries around the country are 100% unfair when we are offered two options only. In NY you had to register as a Dem 6 months in advance. SMH.

[@jackbottomly4420]

GREAT INTERVIEW ! NHPR really shined on this one . Critics of this interviewer should try doing an interview . I SUPPORT TULSI ! !

[@SuperSpidey313]

Tulsi is fantastic. I've donated and I hope you do too. She almost has enough donations to enter the Democratic debates. She needs us to donate to get in! Please consider donating (even if it's only a dollar)

[@GRRAB]

I look forward to seeing her on the debate stage. I've been donating steadily to Tulsi and Bernie

[@EPSTomcat11]

100% the first female POTUS - If not in 2020, in 2024 or 2028, depending on Bernie Sanders. She is also the ONLY candidate bringing the right, left, and independents together. No one else has this effect. A true uniting force. That's some next-level progressive stuff! Get her on the debate stage and donate at least $1 to her before May!

[@user-os8sq3uh4n]

@toshibahandibook sorry but fact is some conservatives would vote against Trump if given an option other than Hillary. That's just fact. The question would be how many.

[@1dir951]

@53:48 Tulsi Gabbard clearly understands Climate Change and Renewable Energy. From Scientific American: "When it comes to generating renewable electricity, Hawaii is leading other states in almost every category. It gets 33 percent of its electricity from rooftop solar and has 60 utility-scale renewable energy projects feeding power into its grids. The state Legislature wants to reach 100 percent renewable energy by 2045. Apr 27, 2018." With her as our president, we will have the most experienced candidate in renewable energy leading the nation into the new era of renewable energy.

[@johoward2251]

1:18 the first question was cringeworthy wow nice start, public radio

[@tmsjones4004]

I donated to Tulsi's campaign weeks ago. Come on people!

[@MIDixons]

Thank you, NHPR! I can't get enough of Tulsi's perspective and I know that the more media time she gets the better our progressive perspective can be understood.

[@Djbetoxx4]

Glad she didn’t take the Russia bait 👍

[@dashx1103]

Yes. That clown interviewer pushed that hard, and she handled it well.

[@inndeep7020]

Lots of respect for you Tulsi. I gave to your campaign and pray for peace.

[@TrukenX]

My GOD it feels good to be in AMERICA right now.... just a few years ago, I volunteered to STOMP for Bernie Sanders in his election now, I'm thinking of what campaign I want to work for and NOW there are MULTIPLE choices... it's so hard to choose and its AMAZING

[@TrukenX]

@toshibahandibook of course NOT... for me its Tulsi... Bernie... Yang... or WARREN

[@TrukenX]

@toshibahandibook but my God I would have LOVED If Richard odgeta stayed in. .. I feel like our candidates might be way too nice

[@TrukenX]

@toshibahandibook Warren I feel got a little too nice just to get things done like the Consumer Finance Bureau.... but Richard Odgeter came in not PULLING any punches and not playing nice and closed I think I 60 point gap breaking all records last election cycle... would have loved to see him In the debates

[@germancarrasco2028]

The first listener question was not only about reducing the expenditure but also about reducing the debt so the system doesn't collapse.

[@TerrenceBowden-i4k]

I love this womans principles, values and her ideology on how she percieves the world. And as a fellow Soldier myself i can relate to the Congresswoman. I'm an Independent that usually lean Republican but I will make an exception. Tulsi Gabbard 2020.

[@tacey01]

Note how Ms Gabbard does not rely on notes or TelePrompTer. She knows her stuff and speaks with authority.

[@janusatthegate6201]

There are almost no structures left in this administration. We must replace all of it with human beings.

How is it possible that in Europe higher education is basically for free and in US cannot???!!!

[@Sadjedi123]

Is there any other politician who fights for a living wage, and border security (which may include a wall in some areas)? She is all about doing what's right, not what's partisan. Just love this woman

[@YaketyYakDontTalkBack]

This interview made me sick. Why is every caller a conservative? "I'm a small business owner, can small businesses be exempt from paying a living wage. Poverty wages are much better for my bottom line. I'm a conservative Democrat, why doesn't anyone talk about the government deficit? It's not like we print our money or something." You almost never see politicians attacked from the Left, it almost aways a conservative framing. These questions could come from the heritage foundation.

[@rainerzufall42]

She missed to say, that there will be more money in the local economy, so that the small business owner can easily increase consumer prices (in most cases). She also did not mention her own OFF Fossil Fuels Act later. But overall, the interview was fine, only too short (that's a good sign after a full hour).

[@Moon-iz6qk]

Is this a trick question? Of course we CAN just print money... How do you think we pay for these endless wars? With tax cuts for the ultra wealthy? Oh yeah by cutting life saving social programs...

[@GarrettBishopagency]

Fair interview; she aces all of them. Like it or not, the incumbent is going to be hard to beat. However, my gut keeps telling me a Gabbard/Yang ticket could win.

[@Moon-iz6qk]

first time I've heard the nuke question and I just LOVE her answer!! Finally someone states the obvious....jeepers, green renewable already!

[@brianmurphy5313]

Few people know that she was going to be Bernie's running mate had the primaries gone 'differently'. Imagine that world parallel to the one we have been in since 2017.

[@Mofaxx]

I love the sound of that, do you have a source? I’m Bernie/Tulsi 2020 all the way. They complement each other perfectly.

[@jackbottomly4420]

WOW ! !

[@yomamaluvsu1]

I totally agree with the Nuclear policy she has.

[@re575817]

DONATE TO THIS AMAZING PERSON. GET HER ON THE DEBATE STAGE.

[@Humanistic_]

She's very easy to look at

[@ganondorfdragmire7886]

@Seraph909 Nah her weak point is being raised homophobic when she was a kid, though she came around on those views long long ago before she got into politics.

[@grinningchicken]

yes yes she is

[@krazyknva78]

@@ganondorfdragmire7886 Most people around Tulsi and I's age were homophobic back then. That's how society was then. Thankfully it's changed, along with most people in our generation.

[@ganondorfdragmire7886]

@@krazyknva78 I agree! And for the record, most other dems like Hillary Clinton took a lot longer to come around, though nobody grills corporate dems over that.

[@orthotech9758]

Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% in for Tulsi because of her policies and her calm, cool tone and attitude, but she is very beautiful. She has such a relaxed nature about her, but she will strike when she needs to. That's why she is owning MSM now and they hate it.

[@katiesabin4480]

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Founder and Co-Chair of the Post-9/11 Veterans Caucus, said: “Burn pits are the Agent Orange of post 9/11 veterans. Over 165,000 veterans have registered their names in the Burn Pit Registry, something that’s voluntary, but there are millions of our troops who have been exposed to these toxic burn pits during their deployment. They deserve recognition. They deserve care, and they deserve the services they have earned. So far, our government has failed to fulfill its responsibility to them, and to recognize the toxins they have been exposed to -- just like what happened to our Vietnam veterans decades ago when our government ignored their exposure and the ensuing illnesses that came from Agent Orange

[@diffened]

Tulsi, don't be afraid to tell people you are a major in the military.

[@scotty6124]

I love how she's always asked about countries/leaders who are committing war crimes when the US has by far has committed the most war crimes than any other country. Most people dont know this but just verbally threatening another country is a crime in itself but US leaders do it all the time.

[@TheShadowKarl]

Go Tulsi! If the media actually let her on more shows she would be the clear front runner with Bernie. These are the two best candidates in the election on both sides. In a perfect world the actual election would be her vs. Bernie so no matter what we would have a Great President. In our last election, Trump vs. Clinton, we lost regardless of who won.

[@Benferno]

She has my vote. She reminds me of JFK the way she speaks truth to power.

[@namelessonewanderland3428]

Changing the tax rates without attempting to shut down loopholes is practically useless. So first and foremost- address the loopholes that allow the Uber rich to pay a lot less in taxes than they should.

US needs to police its own internal electoral , judicial , health , educational and social and racial systems before interfering in other countries

[@edfou5]

NPR = National Petroleum Radio. If you doubt that, do some research on their corporate and foundation sponsors over the last thirty years.

[@ganondorfdragmire7886]

We all love Tulsi and Bernie, but I was surprised to see how many people in the comments here criticize NHPR as neoliberal propaganda. It's an opinion I resisted strongly for a time, until I began to explore NPR's painfully biased reporting on the ongoing Yemeni Genocide. Watching this video is all the proof one needs though. Please Mr. NHPR interviewer, tell us how Russia interfered in our election. Tell us why we should intervene in Syria when Saudi Arabia and Israel are the world leaders in human rights violations?

[@ganondorfdragmire7886]

@toshibahandibook You should look into Andrew Yang. He has quite the bizarre following of alt-right meme-posters from 4chan, despite being a lefty progressive running on UBI and Universal Healthcare.

[@jvb9553]

So after the Mueller report fizzle these slanted questions, delivered with the classically insipid NPR style, seem laughable. The pretense of NPR is wearing very thin. Tulsi, on the other hand, sounds like a levelheaded leader. Very impressive.

[@rockyfjord4710]

To NHPR interviewer, why no concern about US interference in elections in Latin America, Asia, Mideast, not to mention imperialist wars which murder millions and destroy states and infrastructure? Why suppose that Russia is menacing US elections? Obama tried to throw the Brexit elections, remember? Had Putin done that, you would have had a brain embolism. / Economy is looking good? Stock market is a bubble, 22.5 trillion sovereign debt, and elites tally their profits in the billions, while working class people have to compete with cheap labor from migration and trans-national-capitalist sending factories and jobs abroad. US is planned economy for capitalists!

[@touchofgrey2872]

It sad when public radio says the same things as the corporate one....

[@Mofaxx]

Is there any real difference between the two, at this point?

[@GRRAB]

We love Tulsi!! Mainstream media spin be DAMNED!

Yang / Gabbard ✌🏾❤️🇺🇸🌎

[@HoTrEtArDeDcHiXx]

I bet she could balance quite a few books on that elegant head of hers (both figuratively, and literally)

[@TheMarpalm]

So tired of the question about meeting with Assad. She has answered this, many times and it feels like a setup to make her look bad. She continues to answer this in an excellent manner.

[@dashx1103]

It is definitely a set up to make her look bad, but she always handles it great.

[@SolidAir54321]

I get tired of hearing people say the economy is doing well, as the host does here, and getting away with it. They're looking at the stock market which is inflated by rich and corporations buying up stock. They're looking at the unemployment rate which doesn't count people who have stopped looking for a job, people who work part time and would like to work full time, and people who have had to accept much lower-paid jobs than they've had before. (Hey, slavery is full employment, too.) These are just not good indicators. I wish Tulsi had directly called that out, but that's Ok, she's doing fine anyway.

[@edfou5]

Hey dimwitted host... Her title isn't Congressman. It's Congresswoman. If that's too difficult to pronounce you can also call her Major Gabbard.

[@BallardsTube]

So true. If she was a pro war lobbyist they would make sure to call her Major Gabbard.
