Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told the AmericaFest crowd in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday that key global allies are hoping to drag the United States into a war with Russia.
Gabbard explained that the "warmongers in the deep state" are blocking Russia and Ukraine from reaching a peace agreement, undermining President Donald Trump's efforts.
'We cannot allow this to happen.'
"Predictably, they use the same old tactics that they've always used. The deep state within the intelligence community weaponizes 'intelligence' to try to undermine progress," she stated, motioning air quotes.
Gabbard said these deep-staters then leak that so-called "intelligence" to their friends in the "mainstream propaganda media" to propel a false narrative.
She went on to accuse the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization of wanting to pull the U.S. into direct battle with Russia.
"[Deep-staters] foment fear and hysteria as a way to justify the continuing of the war and their efforts to undermine President Trump's efforts towards peace," Gabbard said. "And do so in this case in order to try to pull the U.S. military into a direct conflict with Russia, which is ultimately what the EU and NATO want."
"We cannot allow this to happen," she declared.

During her AmFest speech, Gabbard also warned about the threat of Islamist ideology.
"There's a threat to our freedom that is not often talked about enough. And it is the greatest near- and long-term threat to both our freedom and our security, and that is the threat of Islamist ideology," she said.
Gabbard's comments prompted cheers and applause from the audience.
She argued that, at its core, Islam is a political ideology that seeks to implement a "global caliphate" that would destroy freedom through Sharia law.
"This is already underway in places like Houston. This is not something that may possibly happen; it is already happening here within our borders," she continued. "Paterson, New Jersey, is proud to call themselves the first Muslim city."

Gabbard added that Islamist ideology "is propagated by people who not only do not believe in freedom, their fundamental ideology is antithetical to the foundation that we find in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which is that our Creator endowed upon us inalienable rights. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

'It's not fair': No. 1 women's tennis player states obvious truth about transgender athletes in women's sports
The top women's tennis player in the world was recently confronted with the idea that she might have a biological advantage over other women.
Aryna Sabalenka, the world's No. 1-ranked player in the Women's Tennis Association, is preparing for a "Battle of the Sexes" against Nick Kyrgios, who reached as high as No. 13 in the men's rankings in 2016.
To promote the event, the two appeared on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" where they were asked if they think it is fair when men, or transgender athletes, compete in women's sports.
'I feel like they still got a huge advantage over the women.'
Morgan prefaced his question by citing Martina Navratilova, a former tennis star who has been adamant about keeping men out of women's competitions.
"[Navratilova] says it's wrong for the Women's Tennis Association to allow trans women to compete in its events; do you agree with her?" Morgan asked.
"That's a tricky question," Sabalenka initially replied.
The Belarusian then stated the obvious biological reality.
"I have nothing to do against them. But I feel like they still got huge advantage over the woman, and I think it's just not fair to a woman to basically face, like, biologically man," she said.
The 27-year-old continued, "You know, it's not fair, like, the woman been working the whole life to reach her limit and then she has to face, like, a man, like, which biologically much stronger. So for me, I don't agree with this kind of stuff in sport."
Morgan then posed the question to Kyrgios, who quickly explained that he had "nothing to add" because he feels "the exact same way."
Sabalenka was not out of the woods yet because Morgan then brought up criticisms the athlete has faced from her competitors.
The British host referred to Marta Kostyuk, the No. 26-ranked women's tennis player. In October, the Ukrainian complained that Sabalenka is "bigger," "taller," and "stronger" than she is and that Sabalenka and another Polish player have biological advantages due to their testosterone levels.
"We all have our own biological structure. Some have a higher level of testosterone, some have lower. I know players who are good players who have higher levels of it," Kostyuk claimed, per Firstpost.
While Kostyuk said she's sure that her opponents aren't on drugs, the 23-year-old said it's "just the biology" of their bodies and that "definitely helps."
"I'm trying to see how I can beat these players with the tennis skills I have, but I have to work more than they have to win the points," she added.
Sabalenka laughed off these comments, telling Morgan that Kostyuk was just making "excuses."
"It's actually quite funny because she's a strong girl," she said. "She probably has more muscles than I do, and she looks fit and strong, and I think that's not the case in all of the matches she lost against our players."

In Britain, the governing Lawn Tennis Association essentially barred "transgender women" from playing in top women's tournaments in December 2024.
After conducting a formal review, the organization determined that the "average man" has an advantage when playing against the "average woman."
The new rules restrict "transgender women and nonbinary individuals assigned male at birth" from playing in top-tier and competitive women's tournaments.

The UK is now cracking down on ... words? England edges toward full-blown speech police state
Before the Magna Carta, the King of England was the law. After, he was under the law. It created the principle of due process, habeas corpus protection from arbitrary arrest, and limited taxation without consent.
“Rule of law, jury trials, rights of the accused, limits on government, protection of property, accountability of leaders — all of that comes from the Magna Carta,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.”
“That gave birth, 500 years later, to us and our ideas,” he says.
However, now all of that is changing.
“The birthplace of the Magna Carta is now thinking about getting rid of jury trials and arresting more than 12,000 people every year for what they call speech crimes — 12,000,” Glenn says.
“In 2023, Russia arrested 4,000 people for speech crimes against the Russian military for Ukraine — 4,000 in Russia, 12,000 in England. The number I saw, and we don’t have all the numbers, but the number I saw that were arrested for speech crimes in China was 120,” he continues.
“Not for violence, not for theft, not for treason — 12,000 in England for words,” he adds.
But it gets worse, as the prime minister is “floating the idea of eliminating” most jury trials.
“It’ll only be for murder, manslaughter, oh, and something else like that,” Glenn says.
“This goes against the Magna Carta, the lawful judgment of your peers. OK? That is the safeguard that stands between you and an out-of-control state. This is the first and ancient firewall against tyranny. It is what makes England, England,” he continues.
“And if England, of all places, tosses that aside, what does the word ‘free’ mean anymore? OK? What does it mean? You can’t speak, and you have no jury trial of your peers. Wait, what?” he says.
“First of all, understand this: A nation that polices speech is not free. A nation that dissolves juries is not just unfree; it’s prepping for something worse, because the entire architecture of the Western world, the liberty that we have, rests on a single radical belief,” he says, adding, “The truth does not need a king.”

Frustrated Trump calls for Ukrainian election after Zelenskyy seemingly torpedoes another peace opportunity
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has effectively torpedoed President Donald Trump's peace plan.
After his meeting on Monday with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and French President Emmanuel Macron — who reportedly suggested last week that the U.S. might "betray" Ukraine — Zelenskyy reportedly told reporters that Kyiv will not cede any territory to Russia.
'A lot of people are dying. So it would be really good if he'd read it. His people loved the proposal.'
"We have no right to give anything away — not under our laws, not under international law, not under moral law," said Zelenskyy, reported the New York Post. "Russia is, of course, insisting that we give up territory. We, of course, do not want to give up anything — that is precisely what we are fighting for, as you are well aware."
Zelenskyy, whom Trump accused in February of "gambling with the lives of millions of people," added, "To be honest, the Americans are looking for a compromise today."
Russia, which has slowly captured additional territory over the past year, presently occupies around 20% of the entire country and most of the Donbas — including all of the Luhansk region, most of the largely Russian-speaking Donetsk region, much of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, and parts of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
Under the Trump administration's initial 28-point peace plan, embraced by Moscow but rejected by Kyiv and European leaders,
- the U.S. would recognize Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk as de facto Russian;
- Kherson and Zaporizhzhia would be divided along the current line of contact;
- Russia would cede other territories under its control outside the five regions; and
- Ukrainian forces would abandon the part of Donetsk Oblast currently under their control, leaving it as a demilitarized buffer zone.
Trump has long maintained that Kyiv will have to make some territorial concessions to bring an end to war that has resulted in millions of casualties. In August, for instance, the president said that while the U.S. seeks to negotiate for some of the Russia-occupied territories back for Ukraine, inevitably "there will be some land swapping going on. I know that through Russia and through conversations with everybody."
On Monday, Zelenskyy suggested that he and Trump see things differently, stating that Trump "certainly wants to end the war. ... Surely, he has his own vision. We live here, from within we see details and nuances, we perceive everything much deeper, because this is our motherland."
'It gets to a point where it's not a democracy anymore.'
Trump said in an interview with Politico on Monday that while he credits the Ukrainian people for their bravery in defending their homeland, Russia is presently in the stronger negotiating position and "size will win, generally." Accordingly Ukraine has to "play ball," suggested the president, who was uncertain about whether Zelenskyy had even bothered to read the latest peace proposals.
"That's as of yesterday. Maybe he's read it over the night," said Trump. "It would be nice if he would read it. You know, a lot of people are dying. So it would be really good if he'd read it. His people loved the proposal. They really liked it. His lieutenants, his top people, they liked it, but they said he hasn't read it yet. I think he should find time to read it."
Zelenskyy indicated this week that he will provide Washington with his views on the current U.S. peace plan — which has reportedly shed eight of the original points Zelenskyy characterized as "anti-Ukrainian" — on Tuesday night but not until he discusses with European leaders the "reparations loan and security guarantees" he regards as critical to the peace process.
When asked what would happen if Zelenskyy rejected the deal, Trump said, "He's gonna have to get on the ball and start accepting things." As for the European leaders who appear keen to involve themselves in the process, Trump said, "They talk but they don't produce, and the war just keeps going on and on."
Trump noted further that it's time now — 18 months after Zelenskyy's term was originally scheduled to end and in the midst of an ever-worsening corruption scandal involving Zelenskyy's administration and close allies — for a Ukrainian presidential election.
"It's been a long time," said Trump.
"I think it's an important time to hold an election. They're using war not to hold an election, but I would think the Ukrainian people would, should have that choice. And maybe Zelenskyy would win. I don't know who would win. But they haven't had an election in a long time. You know, they talk about a democracy, but it gets to a point where it's not a democracy anymore."
Zelenskyy said in a statement on Tuesday, "We are committed to a real peace and remain in constant contact with the United States. And as our partners in the negotiating teams rightly note, everything depends on whether Russia is ready to take effective steps to stop the bloodshed and prevent the war from reigniting."

European leaders gossip about US amid apparent efforts to torpedo Trump's Russia-Ukraine peace deal: Report
President Donald Trump and members of his administration have worked doggedly over the past year to broker a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine.
While there have been multiple instances when an end to the bloodshed appeared within reach, Presidents Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin have both repeatedly thrown up obstacles to sealing the deal — in most cases over proposals regarding territorial concessions and security guarantees for Kyiv.
There are, however, others actors in the mix who appear content to stymie the U.S.-mediated peace negotiations.
English-language notes allegedly detailing a conference call held on Monday between Zelenskyy, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and numerous other EU leaders revealed the extent of the contempt and distrust some European leaders have for the United States as it relates to Washington's role in the peace talks.
According to the notes that were leaked to the German publication Der Spiegel, Macron suggested that there was a chance that the U.S. — a nation that has kept Ukraine viable with the help of hundreds of billions of dollars and top-notch armaments as well as by sanctioning its foe — might "betray" Ukraine.
"There is a chance that the U.S. will betray Ukraine on territory without clarity on security guarantees," Macron reportedly said, adding that the territorial matter presents "a big danger" for Zelenskyy.
Macron was among the EU leaders who rejected Trump's original 28-point peace plan last month and echoed an old complaint that certain proposals would require EU consent. His office has claimed that he "did not express himself in these words" as described in the notes but did not indicate how he had expressed himself.

Merz, whose nation is set to pass a new conscription scheme, reportedly said that Zelenskyy must be "very careful" in the talks ahead, noting that "they are playing games with both you and us." Der Spiegel indicated that the "they" Merz referred to was likely Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who have been working on the peace negotiations.
Alexander Stubb — the Finnish president who complained in a recent interview that "all the conditions for a just peace we’ve talked so much about over the past four years are unlikely to be fulfilled" — reportedly said on the conference call, "We must not leave Ukraine and Volodymyr alone with these guys," again apparently referring to the U.S. representatives.
The notes for the call, which several participants confirmed to Der Spiegel had taken place, indicate that Rutte agreed, stating, "I agree with Alexander that we need to protect Volodymyr."
While a spokesperson for Zelenskyy told Der Spiegel he did not want to comment on the content of the call, the Ukrainian president said in a statement on Thursday, "Ukraine is prepared for any possible developments, and of course we will work as constructively as possible with all partners to ensure that peace is achieved — and that it is, after all, a dignified peace. Only a dignified peace provides real security, and we fully understand that this requires — and will continue to require — the support of our partners."
The White House did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.
On Tuesday, Putin suggested European leaders were undermining the peace process, stating, "They don’t have a peace agenda; they’re on the side of the war," reported the Associated Press.
The Russian president further accused the Europeans of introducing "demands that are absolutely unacceptable to Russia," thereby "blocking the entire peace process."
