Tulsi Gabbard and Stephen Kinzer Discuss U.S. Foreign Policy and the Cost of War

Published | Video Starts at 09:34

Now, what I do notice happening is that this consensus, though it remains very strong in Washington, is not as strong in the rest of America as it used to be. There's a real cleavage, growing. I think there is a growing sense in the United States that our constant reliance on aggressive interference in the affairs of other countries is not good for those countries and it's not good for the security interests of the United States. So I do see a separation now where there's more openness in the American public to a different American approach to the world. But that hasn't leaked into Washington yet. (09:34–09:50)
