The Questions Surrounding Tulsi Gabbard

  • Summary

  • In 2020, Tulsi Gabbard was a Democratic Hawaiian congresswoman who ran for president. Today, she'll appear before the Senate as a Republican who the President has nominated to become his administration's Director of National Intelligence. She will meet with the Senate Intel Committee both in public and in private to discuss her qualifications and any lawmakers concerns. Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) joins to discuss why he supports Gabbard despite the controversy surrounding her. The President spent much of his campaign advocating for the heavy use of tariffs if elected—now in the Oval Office, his tariff threats have already leveraged deals and stand to have major global impacts. The Trump administration also had teased efforts to purchase strategically valuable areas like Greenland or the Panama Canal. President of International Affairs & co-head of the Goldman Sachs Global Institute, Jared Cohen joins the podcast to discuss the Trump administration's "doctrine of reciprocity" when it comes to trade deficits and tariff plans. Later, Jared discusses concerns about China's expanding influence and Trump's ambitions for acquiring Greenland or the Panama Canal. Plus, commentary by Copenhagen Consensus President and 'Best Things First' author, Bjorn Lomborg. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
