I believe in a government that's of the people, by the people, and for the people. Unfortunately, today's Democratic party does not. Instead, it stands for a government that is of, by, and for the powerful elite." - Tulsi Gabbard31:49 - "The GOP is nothing more than a fundraising entity. They don't run campaigns and don't have a strategic plan in Washington, DC. They're not a group of ideologues like you see on the left. The left is a war-fighting machine. They have subverted every branch of government in every state and every city of this nation." - Jonathan Gilliam37:40 - The American people live under an illusion that we're going to put people in positions of authority and they're going to save us. Nobody is going to save you if you don't hold them to a standard. If they don't do what they're supposed to and are ideologically driven or careerist, they're out." - Jonathan Gilliam43:25 - "This wasn't a game to them. This wasn't some move for them. They wanted her out. So since then, she has been very vocal against a lot of the stuff that Democrats are doing. And the fact that she came out and now has said, Look, I'm out." - Jim Larkin45:32 - "I don't see the Democratic Party as being savable. I know that I can make an impact more from the outside. And I can't be associated with and stand this insanity that's been going on and continues to worsen day by day." - Tulsi GabbardFollow the Pod Bless America Podcast on GETTRSubscribe to Freedom Square to know moreEngage with Pod Bless America PodcastEmail: [email protected]: [email protected] to more episodes of the Pod Bless America PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts
