In a Senate chamber thick with uniparty air, Tulsi Gabbard didn’t just testify—she declared war. Her opening statement at the DNI confirmation hearing wasn’t a resume read; it was a takedown of the intelligence community’s rotten core. As Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard—combat vet, former Democrat turned Republican warrior—laid bare the deep state’s playbook: lies that launched wars, spied on campaigns, and silenced dissenters like her.
“For too long, faulty, inadequate, or weaponized intelligence have led to costly failures and the undermining of our nation’s national security and God-given freedoms enshrined in the Constitution,” she fired off.1 No mincing words. She eviscerated the Iraq invasion hoax (“total fabrication or complete failure of intelligence”), the FISA abuse on Trump’s team (“illegally to obtain a warrant… using a Clinton campaign-funded false dossier”), and the FBI’s clown show on Hunter Biden’s laptop (“dismissing it as disinformation”).
Gabbard didn’t stop at history lessons. She called out the personal hits: Clapper’s perjury on mass surveillance, Brennan’s CIA spying on Congress, the FBI labeling traditional Catholics as “radical traditionalist” threats, and her own slot on a secret terror watch list—*24 hours* after slamming Kamala Harris.1 “This must end,” she thundered. “President Trump’s reelection is a clear mandate from the American people to break this cycle of failure, end the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community.”
What makes Tulsi a hero? She’s walked the walk: Lt. Colonel in the National Guard, boots on the ground in Iraq, committee service exposing forever wars. She flipped parties because the Democrats went full deep state. Now, as DNI, she’s Trump’s scalpel—vowing transparency, declassification, and a refocus on real threats, not parents at school boards or Latin Mass-goers. In a swamp where heroes get smeared (“You may hear lies and smears… implying that I am loyal to something other than God, my own conscience, and the Constitution”), Gabbard fights back: “The same tactic was used against President Trump and failed.”1
Watch the full clip above. Tulsi isn’t just talking reform—she’s the reckoning the deep state fears most. A mandate in heels, ready to drain the intel beast.
