Tulsi Gabbard tells Fox News's Will Cain that a "machine" led by the Obamas and Clintons is pulling the strings of the Biden administration. Adam Curry plays a 2016 clip of Barack Obama joking about having a "front man" with an earpiece so he could deliver lines from his basement. The hosts discuss a viral clip of Obama seemingly ignoring Joe Biden at a White House event as evidence of the true power dynamic.
The hosts discuss modern calls for investigations into figures like Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard, comparing the rhetoric to the McCarthy-era Red Scare. They critique the American history of maintaining "lists," such as no-fly lists and terrorist watch lists, as being contrary to national values. The conversation suggests that current anti-Russian sentiment is a revival of older Cold War programming.
The "Demexit" movement is discussed in the context of black voters and Bernie Sanders supporters feeling boxed out by the Democratic establishment. The hosts note that while voters were previously told they must vote because their ancestors died for the right, many are now choosing to walk away as their demands go unmet. The segment also mentions Tulsi Gabbard's endorsement of Joe Biden as a disappointing turn toward the establishment.
The hosts revisit the pivotal debate moment where Tulsi Gabbard attacked Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor, specifically regarding marijuana convictions. They argue this "torpedoed" her campaign by exposing hypocrisy between her past actions and her current public persona.
The concept of "justice" is analyzed as a term often hijacked by political movements, contrasting it with the right-wing focus on "liberty." The discussion transitions to the shift from military supremacy to economic supremacy, citing John Perkins’ book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman." This shift involves using debt and infrastructure loans to control developing nations rather than overt force.
During a Democratic primary debate, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard challenged Senator Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor and Attorney General of California. Gabbard cited 1,500 marijuana convictions and the blocking of DNA evidence for a death row inmate as evidence of a hypocritical record. The discussion notes that Harris's official record was reportedly removed from a California district attorney website shortly after these criticisms surfaced.
Maya Shankar, who headed Obama's Social and Behavioral Science Team, now works for Google, further integrating nudging tactics into big tech. Social media platforms use "trending" topics as a nudge mechanism to validate specific narratives, such as the "Charlottesville Lie" or claims that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset. The hosts describe encountering automated bots on Twitter designed to reinforce these political memes and suppress dissenting views.
