SO DAY TO DEFEAT THE PRESIDENT AT BALLOT BOX. I JUST SAID THAT. SHE WILL BRING THAT UP AT NEXT MONTH'S DEBATE. SHE QUALIFIED LOS SHE QUALIFIED TOS SHE QUALIFIED TODAY. TONIGHT SHE IS WITH ME, HAWAII DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN, ARYMENTA DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN, ARYMENTM DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN, ARYMENTY WOMAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, TULSI GABBARD. >> THANK YOU. KENNEDY: I AM SURPRISED A LOT OF THE CANDIDATES CALL FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE PRESIDENT FROM A JOB THEY WANT. IF WE GO DOWN THIS ROAD, AND IF THERE IS SUCCESS, I HAVE A FEELING THAT EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT WILL BE IMPEACHED. >> THIS IS THE PROBLEM, AND WHY I FEEL STRONGLY THIS NOT THE ROUTE WE SHOULD TAKE, THIS POLITICIZES SOMETHING THAT AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO BE TRUSTED TO DECIDE WHO THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS PRESIDENT AND CAM OWNER IN CHIEF. I DISAGREE WITH TRUMP ON A LOT OF THINGS. BUT I AM RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT TO DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP IN 2020, I BELIEVE I CAN DO THAT. THAT IS WHY I'M RUNNING, I TRUST THAT THE VOTERS WILL MAKE THAT DECISION. KENNEDY: I KNOW THAT IN SOME RESPECTS HAVE YOU A LIMITED GOVERNMENT STREAK. AND THERE ARE A LOT OF LIBERTARIANS WHO IN TERMS OF FOREIGN POLICY, YOU ARE THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT HAS RESONATED WITH THEM THERE. I THINK YOU ARE A LITTLE MISGUIDED ON MEDICARE FOR ALL, THERE IS NO WAY TO PAY FOR IT BUT HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CONSTRAINING EXECUTIVE POWER. NOW THERE IS A WILD MAN ON THE LOOSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN THEIR EYES. >> I DO BELIEVE THAT EXECUTIVE BRANCH HAS BEEN ABUSING ITS POWER NOT JUST THIS ADMINISTRATION BUT PREVIOUS AS WELL, THE PROBLEM, IT HAS BECOME PARTISAN. PRESIDENT OBAMA WOULD ISSUE AN ORDER AND REPUBLICANS WOULD GO UP IN ARMS, AND THEN THE ROLES ARE REVERSED. SOME CHALLENGES WE HAVE, AND WHY AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM AND HYPER PARTISANSHIP EVEN MY FELLOW DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, SAYING THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO, I WILL ISSUE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER AND CALL A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, THEY WANT TO BYPASS CONGRESS ANY NOT DO HARD WORK NECESSARY IN BUILDING COALITION. KENNEDY: BOTH PARTIES ARE GUILTY OF THAT. YOUR FRIENDS AND CONGRESS ARE YOU KNOW THEY ARE SELECTIVELY LAZY WITH WORKING UP A COALITION, PAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE'RE LEANS TOWARD, A TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS BROKEN. I HAVE A FEELING WE HAD MORE VIABLE PARTIES YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE AN ESTABLISHED DEMOCRAT LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IRAN A LITTLE BIT. YOUR FOREIGN POLICY IS WHAT IS MOST INTERESTING ABOUT YOU AND YOU HAVE SERVED OVERSEAS IN AFGHANISTAN AND KUWAIT. >> IRAQ. KENNEDY: HERE YOU ARE. AS PRESIDENT. WHAT WOULD PRESIDENT GABBARD DO IF A SAUDI OIL FEEL WAS CONCLUSIVELY BOMBED BY IRANIAN? >> I WOULD RECOGNIZE FIRST AND FORE MOST WHAT OUR OBJECTIVE IS. AS PRESIDENT AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE -- >> WHAT IS OUR OBJECTIVE IN MIDDLE EAST. >> IT SHOULD BE, IS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, ABOUT WHAT DO WE NEED TO KEEP AMERICAN PEOPLE SAFE. THE GREAT THREAT THAT WE FACE HERE RIGHT NOW, IF STATUS WE IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITH TRUMP THROWING THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL IN TRASH CAN. ALL INSPECTORS ARE NOW GONE AND IRAN IS MOVING FORWARD. KENNEDY: THEY WERE UNTRUST WORTHY AND THERE WAS NEVER VIE >> IRAN SAYING THEY WAS IN COMPLIANCE, SINCE DRUSM COMPLIANCE, SINCE TRUSM COMPLIANCE, SINCE TRUMP LEFT THAT, THAT HAS GONE AWAY. KENNEDY: WHAT ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA? WOULD YOU CONTINUE TO SELL ARMS TO THEM. >> NO. KENNEDY: AND THE ETHNIC IN CHINA. >> CLOSE LOOP ON IRAN FIRST, THIS IS IMPORTANT AND PRECIPICE THAT WE'RE FACING AS AMERICAN PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, WHAT TRUMP NEEDS TO DO, WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW RECOGNIZE THAT THIS STRATEGY HAS FAILED. IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT IRAN DOES NOT CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS TOWARD DEVELOPING A NUCLEAR WEAPON, WE ENTER THE AGREEMENT. KENNEDY: DON'T YOU THINK IT NEEDS TO BE ALTERED. >> STRENGTHENED BUT WE NEED TO REENTER AGREEMENT AS IT EXISTS TO PARALLEL NEGOTIATIONS TO BE ABLE TO WORK OUT THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES, THE SUNSET CLAUSES. KENNEDY: VERIFY BILL TIE, BECAUSE -- JUST BECAUSE IT IS THERE DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT PLACES, DOES NOT MINE THEY CAN JUST SHOW UP AND THROW THE PANTRY DOOR OPEN TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE TINKERING WITH THAT, PROBLEMATIC, BUT A COUPLE OTHER THINGS, BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF TIME. IN CHINA. A MILLION ARE SENT TO LABOR CAMPS TO TOIL FOR THE REST OF SHORT LIVES ORER DIE, WHAT DO YOU DO. >> WE TAKE THAT WITH OTHER CHALLENGES OR DIFFERENCES WE HAVE WITH CHINA. AND SEE WHERE AND HOW WE CAN HELP IMPROVE THE SITUATION. BUT ALSO SEE HOW OTHER AREAS WHERE WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH CHINA, WHETHER THEY BE ON AREAS OF ECONOMIC INTEREST OR AREAS -- >> HOW ABOUT, AND YOU KNOW -- >> CLIMATE CHANGE. THE WAY THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS APPROACHING CHINA IS VERY DANGEROUS. IN THAT YOU KNOW TRUMP SAYS THAT CHINA IS OUR ENEMY, ESCALATING THIS TRADE AND TARIFF WAR, HAVING A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR FARMERS. >> YES, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND I BET THERE SAY FREE TRADE STREAK IN YOU. THAT -- >> A FAIR TRADE STREAK. KENNEDY: BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE FAIR TRADE WITH A STATE-RUN ECONOMY, THEY ARE PLAYING BY DHFT THEY ARE PLAYING BY DIFT THEY ARE PLAYING BY DIFFERENT RULES THEY ARE VERY SELF INTERESTED, THAT SELF INTEREST IN STATE DOES NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN INDIVIDUAL. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DEBATE STAGE, BECAUSE, YOU REALLY CORED POINTED AGAINST KAMALA HARRIS, YOU HAD A MOMENT THAT WAS ROOTED IN SOMETHING MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN JUST A QUICK GOTCHA MOMENT, YOU WENT AFTER HER RECORD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING DIFFERENTLY. >> TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PLATFORM TO BE ABLE TO BE IN FRONT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE TO SHARE WITH THEM, WHAT I AM MY BACK GROUND, AND SERVICE AS A SOLDIER, DISE BLOWED DEOWED DEPLED DEPLOYEDTWICE TO MIDDLE EAST, HG DEPLOYEDTWICE TO MIDDLE EAST, HH DEPLOYEDTWICE TO MIDDLE EAST, HT DEPLOYEDTWICE TO MIDDLE EAST, HM DEPLOYEDTWICE TO MIDDLE EAST, HE DEPLOYEDTWICE TO MIDDLE EAST, HM DEPLOYEDTWICE TO MIDDLE EAST, HY TIME IN CONGRESS, 7 YEARS FOREIGN AFFAIRS, HOMELAND SECURITY AND EXPERIENCE TO WHAT I BRING OF MOST IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY OF PRESIDENT TO SERVE -- COMMANDER AND CHIEF. AND REDIRECT THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE SEEN TRILLIONS OF DOLLAR WASTED. KENNEDY: YES, KENNEDY: YES. >> THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN LIVES. >> BETWEEN 4 TO 6 TRILLION. >> RIGHT, THINK ABOUT WHO WE COULD DO WITH THOSE TAXPAYER DOLLARS. KENNEDY: YOU KNOW, WE COULD, GIVE IT BACK TO INDIVIDUALS. >> USE IT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. KENNEDY: ALLOWS FAMILY TO DECIDE ARE IN THEMSELVES WHERE THEY SEND THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL AND THEIR INSURANCE THAT WOULD BE -- >> NEEDS ARE GREAT. KENNEDY: THAT WOULD BE GREAT. WHO NEEDS TO GET OUT OF RACE RIGHT NOW? >> I'M NOT FOCUSED ON OTHER PEOPLE TO BE HONEST. KENNEDY: WHO ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH? WHO WILL HAVE YOU A GEAR WHO WILL HAVE YOU A BEAR WHO WILL HAVE YOU A BEER WITH AFTER. >> I AM FRIENDS WITH AND WORKED WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER CANDIDATES, I APPRECIATE HIGH MY CANDIDATES, I APPRECIATE HIGH MT CANDIDATES, I APPRECIATE HIGH MM CANDIDATES, I APPRECIATE HIGH ME ON THE ROAD. >> MARIANNE. >> WE GET ALONG, SHE HAS A LOT OF ALOHA. LOVE, AND RESPECT AND CARE FOR EVERYONE THAT IS WHAT WE NEED A LOT MORE OF. KENNEDY: A LADY WIZARD. I KNOW AN AREA OF CONTENTION FOR NEW YOUR PARTY SOMETHING OF MAST STATEMENT ON LGBTQ COMMUNITY, I THINK THAT YOU HAVE IN MANY WAYS, YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY EXPLAINED YOUR POSITION. I AM JUST WONDERING, WHEN DID YOUR POSITION CHANGE. THAT HAS TO BE FOR THE KIND OF DISCONNECT YOU HAVE MADE, WHICH IS A PRETTY SHARP TURN. THERE HAS TO BE AN A-HA MOMENT. KENNEDY: THROUGHOUT THE EXPERIENCE HIS WITH MY DEPLOYMENT TO MIDDLE EAST, THOSE HAD A BIG IMPACT ON ME IN A COUPLE OF WAYS, ONE IS EXPERIENCING FIRST HAND IN THESE COUNTRIES, HOW DEVASTATING AND HARMFUL AND DANGEROUS IT IS TO HAVE A GOVERNMENT TRYING TO ACT AS A MORAL ASH IT -- ARBITOO FOR PEOPLE, AND FOR ME IT WAS SERVING WITH FELLOW SOLDIER WHO ARE GAY, LEASE ARE GAY, LESSE ARE GAY, LESBIAN AND UNDERSTANDING HOW DEEP THAT BOND WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE, I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR THEM, I KNOW THEY WOULD GIVE THEIR LIFE FOR ME, TAKING THAT TIME OF REFLECTTION, AND SEEING THE CONTRADICTION OF VIEWS THAT I PREVIOUSLY HELD, AND A MEMBER OF CONGRESS, AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRULY FIGHT FOR EQUAL TIE, AND MAKE SURE OUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT FALL INTO THAT TRAP OF TRYING TO BE A MORAL ARBITOR . KENNEDY: IF YOUR DEMOCRAT NOMINATION IS NOT SUCCESSFUL. WOULD YOU CONSIDER RUNNING AS A LIBERTARIAN, GETTING RID OF PROGRESSIVE NONSENSE. >> I WILL NOT. KENNEDY: COME ON. YOU BROKE PAUL BENNETT'S HEART, ONE OF OUR PRODUCERS. >> I AM SORRY PAUL. KENNEDY: THANK YOU.
