EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Tulsi Gabbard, The Psychology of Power & Control - Tulsi Gabbard explores tulsi Gabbard Dissects Hidden Power, Endless War, And Democratic Decay Tulsi Gabbard argues that U.S. presidents—especially Biden and potentially Harris—are largely figureheads for an entrenched, bipartisan establishment of party elites, security bureaucrats, and the military‑industrial complex. She contrasts this with Donald Trump, whom she portrays as uniquely non‑beholden to these interests, particularly on foreign policy and war. The conversation ranges from elite warmongering and media manipulation to civil-liberties threats like the TikTok bill and the broader erosion of constitutional norms, free speech, religion, and the family. Gabbard also reflects on her break from the Democratic Party, the disillusionment of younger voters, and her belief that citizen engagement and principled, service‑oriented leaders are still capable of course‑correcting the system.
