Speaker 1: Hey, this is Buck Sexton and you're listening to the

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Tutor Dixon Podcast, part of the Clay Travers and Buck

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Sexton podcast Network. Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Today

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: I am joined by former South Carolina governor, former Ambassador

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: to the United Nations, and current candidate for President of

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: the United States, Nicki Haley, Governor. It is a pleasure

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: to have you here with us today.

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: Well, thanks so much, Tutor. It's great to be on

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: and please call me NICKI.

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I want to talk about you

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: were recently on Jake Tapper's program over the weekend and

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: you talked about the cartels. The border was a winning

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: issue in twenty sixteen, and it is certainly top of

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: mind for those across the country as we see the

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: mayor of New York City saying the city will collapse

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: under the pressure of the influx of migrants. And I've

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: often tried to explain to people we don't actually have

18
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: an open border. We have a border that is totally

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: controlled by the cartels. So how do we take back

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: control of our own border when it seems like a

21
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: wall isn't enough anymore.

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: I think first knowledge that Kamala Harris has not been

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: the borders are that everybody wants. And so when you

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: think about the fact that we are actually running against

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: a president Kamala Harris, you can only imagine the chaos

26
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: that would go from it. And I actually went four

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: hundred miles down that border tutor and it is unthinkable

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: what I saw. I mean from the fact that sheriffs

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: are constantly trying to catch illlegal immigrants, turn them over

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: to border patrol. Border patrol documents them and releases them

31
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: until their court date years from now. When you ask

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: border patrol about their jobs, they tell you, you know

33
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: that they're glorified babysitters, that no one lets them do

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: their job. And I think that what we have to

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: do is I don't think enough credit goes to Governor

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: Greg Abbott. And the fact that he said, you know what,

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: Texans can't bear this anymore, and if y'all think that

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: we need to stop whining, why don't you take them?

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: And the fact that he sent them to every sanctuary

40
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: city was so telling because all of those governors and

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: mayors of those areas, basically we're saying that we're Republicans

42
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: were bad people because we didn't want to take illegal

43
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: immigrants now.

44
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: And they're still calling him a psychopath. I mean, that's

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: the crazy thing. They ended up with exactly what they wanted.

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: They're going after Abbott and they're saying it should be

47
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: a remaining Texas policy rather than remain in Mexico.

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: And that's exactly why I think it's great he sent it,

49
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: because now they feel just a drop of what those

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: Texans are feeling with. They're feeling just a little bit

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: of what they're feeling on the northern border. I talked

52
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: to that in Granite Staters in New Hampshire. But what

53
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: we need to do is, first we need to go

54
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: to China and say, look, we'll end all normal trade

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: relations with you until you stop killing Americans with fentanyl.

56
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: And the second thing is I think we need to

57
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: send our special operations over to take out the cartels.

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: We can't wait on Mexico anymore to do this. We

59
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: can't allow one more American to die from this. We

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: need to treat them like the terrorists that they are.

61
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that because you said that

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: when you were talking to Jake Tapper. So I think

63
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: that's interesting because that's a time when we know that

64
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: the other side is actually listening. Owents have come out

65
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: and said they'll go after them, they'll take them out,

66
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: they'll kill them, but it has seemed very erratic. The

67
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: way you talk about it is different. You talked about

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: sending special forces going in there. Is there a way

69
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: to work with Mexico on this or do you think

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: America is alone on defeating the cartels.

71
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: I think that Mexico's overwhelmed quite frankly. I think in

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: Mexico's got some corruption too, where they're getting paid by

73
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: some of the cartels. I think that we obviously go

74
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: in and we say, look, either you do this or

75
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: we do this, but either way we're going to get

76
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: it done. But you don't wait on them. We can't

77
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: keep waiting for Mexico to say, oh, we're going to

78
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: figure this out, and we don't need to send full

79
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: on military at the border. We have special operations just

80
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: like they took out ben lad just like they've taken

81
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: out Isis. We've got special operations that know how to

82
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: do this, and they can go and destroy the areas

83
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: of the cartels. We need to see exactly where the

84
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: production is happening. Those are the areas you take out.

85
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: You look at the kingpins, those are the people you

86
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: take out, and so you do anyone that has any

87
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: control of the trafficking. And by the way, this is

88
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: not just about drugs, but those that are trafficking people

89
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: as well, and I think we need to treat them

90
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: like the terrorists that they are. It needs to be

91
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: you know, fine tuned. Our special operations know exactly how

92
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: to do this. They're incredibly professional on the way they

93
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: do it. But we don't wait on Mexico. They can

94
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to fix it. But you know, to me,

95
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: we've given them enough opportunity and they continue not to

96
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: do anything about it.

97
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you made the point that this is so

98
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: urgent because fentanyl that has come across the border has

99
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: killed more people in the United States than we've seen

100
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: in three wars. This is a critical time. This is

101
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: a crisis. When you talk about a health emergency, we're

102
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: talking about not only taking care of children that are

103
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: crossing the border, children that are being raped every day,

104
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: but our own American These are children's the children, these

105
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: are parents, everybody who's been affected by fentanyl as well.

106
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: So I appreciate what you're talking about doing there I

107
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: want to head to your experience as ambassador to the UN.

108
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: And I think that this is something that people don't realize,

109
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 1: the experience that you've had. And I've talked to people

110
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: across the country who have said, well, what do you

111
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: think about Nikki Haley? And I said, I mean, if

112
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: we look at the stage, there is no one else

113
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: that we see there who has been the chief executive

114
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: of a state and also ambassador to the UN. And

115
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: that gives you a foreign policy experience that the others

116
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: up there just don't have. But when you were ambassador

117
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: to the UN, you took an America first approach to

118
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: the US foreign aid. The media manipulated that as punishment

119
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: to poor nations. They considered it a strong arm approach

120
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: to force these countries into receiving usaid only if they

121
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: align with American politics. Can you tell us the truth

122
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: about that strategy back then and how that experience shaped

123
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: your foreign policy today?

124
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think for those that don't know about the

125
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: United Nations, it basically required me to I had to

126
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: deal with the Chinese and the Russians every day. Every

127
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: day I was having to interact with them, but I

128
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: was dealing with one hundred and ninety three countries, and

129
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: so you know, I really went into the United Nations saying,

130
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: I want countries to know what America's for and what

131
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: America's against. I didn't care if they didn't like me,

132
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: but I wanted them to respect America. And we did.

133
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: We got to work. We pulled ourselves out of the

134
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: Iran deal. I negotiated the largest set of sanctions against

135
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: the country in a generation with North Korea, and I

136
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: did that negotiating with China and Russia. We moved our

137
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. But the best thing

138
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: that we did was we took the kick me sign

139
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: off of our backs and America was respected again. And

140
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: when you look at that situation, I go back to

141
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: one day when we were condemned by the entire world

142
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: from moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. And

143
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: I was furious because while we were condemned, I was

144
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: proud to issue the American veto. I was proud to

145
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: let them know exactly how I felt about it, and

146
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: I let the world know that. But I was upset

147
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: because America has the right to put our embassy anywhere.

148
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: We always put it in the capital of every country.

149
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: Jeru is the capital of Israel. So we were acknowledging

150
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: a truth. But I went back to my office and

151
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: I told my staff, I said, I want you to

152
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: put a book together. In that book, I want you

153
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: to list all one hundred and ninety three countries. I

154
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: want the second column to be the percentage of times

155
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: they vote with the US and against the US. And

156
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: I want the third column to be how much foreign

157
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: aid we gave them. And I took that book and

158
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: I gave it to President Trump and he totally lost

159
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: his mighty, slipping pages. He's yelling out countries, he's all upset.

160
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: And what I told him then was I'm not saying

161
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: you give foreign aid based on a percentage vote at

162
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: the UN, but that should be one of the things

163
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: we look at. Quit trying to buy friends, quit paying

164
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: off enemies. Last year, America gave fifty billion dollars in

165
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: foreign eight. You know who. They gave it to Pakistan,

166
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: who tried to harbor terris that tried to kill our soldiers, Iraq,

167
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: who has Iranian influence. It says death to America. Zimbabwe,

168
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: the most anti American African country there is. America gave

169
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: money to Belarus, who's holding hands with Russia as they

170
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: invade Ukraine. We gave money to communist Cuba, who's now

171
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: putting up a spy center. With China, who the US

172
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: named a state sponsor of terrorism and the biggest kick

173
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: in the gut Tutor, we gave money to China. How

174
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: embarrassing do we look? When I am president, we will

175
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: no longer give money to countries that hate America. We

176
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: need to be smart, we need to be strategic, and

177
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest part about the foreign aid

178
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: we need to understand is you don't make friends by

179
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: giving them money. This is like a business deal. It

180
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: has to be a win win. There can be small

181
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: countries that we get something good from. There can be

182
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: big countries that we get something good from. But it

183
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: has to be countries who believe in what we're trying

184
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: to do, which is save freedom, believe in democracy, and

185
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: fight off the enemies that want to destroy you.

186
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: Talk about the kick Me sign. Just over the weekend,

187
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Joe Biden came out and said that well before he

188
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: said he had to go to bed on the world stage,

189
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,119
Speaker 1: he came out and said he wanted to see China succeed.

190
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: What does China succeeding look like for the.

191
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: US defeating America. I mean, China is an enemy. They've

192
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: been preparing for war with US for years. It is

193
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: unbelievable to me how weak in the knees Joe Biden

194
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: and Kamala Harris are when it comes to China. This

195
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: is not a country who just talks about not liking America.

196
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: This is a country who has already infiltrated America. They

197
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: have bought up four hundred thousand acres of US soil,

198
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: most recently near Grand Forks Air Force Base, where our

199
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: most sensitive drone technology is. Never forget food security as

200
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 2: national security, so as they bought up this farmland, it's

201
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: a real issue. They bought the largest pork producer in

202
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: our country in Iowa. They continue to go and put

203
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: millions of dollars into our university by stealing our recent

204
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: search and spreading Chinese propaganda. There are technologies that we

205
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: never want China to have because we know it builds

206
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: up their military and it threatens America. Joe Biden's administration

207
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: approved seventy percent of that technology last year. We have

208
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: Chinese communist parties that are lobbying our members of Congress.

209
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: And as much as everyone was upset about that Chinese

210
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 2: five balloon, ninety percent of law enforcement drones in our

211
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: country are Chinese. So now think of all of those

212
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: minipy balloons all over they you said it before, the

213
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: number one cause of death for adults eighteen to forty

214
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: five is fentanyl. Don't think for a second China doesn't

215
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: know what they're doing when they send it over. And

216
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: when you look at the military, look at how they've

217
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: built up their military. China has the largest naval fleet

218
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: in the world. They have three hundred and fifty ships.

219
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: They'll have four hundred ships in two years. We won't

220
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,359
Speaker 2: even have three hundred and fifty ships in two decades.

221
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: They've developed hypersonic missiles, we've barely gotten started. They're doing

222
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: cyber artificial intelligence space. They've now become the biggest developer

223
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 2: of neurostrike weapons, which is engineering ability to change the

224
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: brain activity of military commanders and segments of the population.

225
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: China is not playing. The problem is Joe Biden is

226
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: asleep at the wheel and President Kamala Harris won't even

227
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: know what to do with this. We need to wake

228
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: up and see them for the enemy that they are.

229
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

230
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. So let me ask you. We

231
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: have you mentioned that there are people in Congress who

232
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: have talked to the CCP, of talked to CCP agents.

233
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: We have a congresswoman in Michigan. Her name is Alissa Slotkin.

234
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: She is running for Senate in the state of Michigan

235
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: now we have an open Senate seat. She signed an

236
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: NDA with a Chinese company who is buying up land

237
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: in the state of Michigan right next to a military base.

238
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: Here.

239
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: They are putting in a Chinese battery factory. We don't

240
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: know what these batteries will be used for. All we

241
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: know is that the word on the street is that

242
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: they will go to another country, likely Morocco, not even

243
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: to anybody in the United States. They'll not be used

244
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: in the United States. But this woman, Alyssa Slockin, who's

245
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: running for Senate right now in the state of Michigan,

246
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: signed a non disclosure agreement to sit down with this company.

247
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: They are known very connected to the CCP. They have

248
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: a Chinese Communist committee in their company. The CEO of

249
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: the American subsidiary is the secretary of that CCP committee,

250
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: and they are giving seven hundred and fifteen million dollars

251
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: of taxpayer money to go to this company to buy

252
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: land in the state of Michigan and run this factory there.

253
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: If that's what they're even doing, we don't know. Alissa

254
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: Slockin goes because she signed the non disclosure agreement. What

255
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: do you say about the fact that we have people

256
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: in Congress who are signing NDAs with the CCP because

257
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: the Biden administration said this is out of their jurisdiction.

258
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: What does a Haley administration do about this.

259
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: Say, complete disqualifier from her serving in office because she

260
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: is literally going against the national security of Americans. We

261
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: have to look at this as the national security issue

262
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: it is. You don't get to sign NDAs with the

263
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: Communist Chinese Party. And that's why I don't want to

264
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: just end the lobbying of these Chinese companies. I want

265
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: to end all foreign lobbying. That's what ambassadors are for.

266
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: We need to stop all of this. But the fact

267
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: that they are doing that one, I don't want them

268
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: buying US oil, but not only that, I want to

269
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: take back what they've already bought. I want to make

270
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: sure that we go and really get China out of

271
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: our country. We cannot have them here anymore. All they're

272
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: trying to do is do harm, and we have to

273
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: start seeing this for the national security threat it is.

274
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: I hope that we continue to expose her for what

275
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: she's done. I hope we expose other members of Congress,

276
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: because she's not the only one. And I hope that

277
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: every American realizes that's a disqualifier for them service for office.

278
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: Because if you will go and put Americans safety in

279
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: danger by negotiating with communist China, the Chinese Party who

280
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: wants to destroy America, you no longer need to serve

281
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 2: the American people. Amen.

282
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: I agree with you there. I want to go back.

283
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: You talked about the Iran nuclear deal. You've been called

284
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: the Iran whisperer. You played a prominent role in the

285
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: decision to repeal that nuclear deal. But Americans can be

286
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: naive as to the dangers of other countries. Iran will

287
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: hang their own people in the streets if they disagree

288
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: with the regime. China has been accused of genocide of

289
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: the Wigers, also holding laborers as slaves and also many

290
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: other human rights offenses. North Korea is a starving country

291
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: run by a dictator consumed by his own quest to

292
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: become a nuclear power. And let's go to Russia for

293
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: a second, because Vladimir Putin doesn't even prosecute his political opponents,

294
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: he just kills them. We all remember Alexi Nelvanni who

295
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: was poisoned. We all remember Progosian who just a few

296
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: weeks ago his plane fell from the sky incidents. What

297
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: happens if these countries that are being called the new

298
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: Axis of evil align and how does your administration address this?

299
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: They are already aligning. So you can see the unification

300
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: of China and Russia. I mean, it's why I will

301
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: always say a win for Russia is a win for China.

302
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: But you can see the unification of Russia and China.

303
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: They named Iran as their junior partner. And now you

304
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: see Russia really getting in close with North Korea. And

305
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: they're all aligned for one reason. They all hate America,

306
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: and so we have to focus on what it takes

307
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: to stop them. The first thing you have to look

308
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: at is when you look at this Russian Ukrainian war,

309
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: It's why it matters so much because if Ukraine wins,

310
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: it sends the biggest message to China on not to

311
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: invade Taiwan and lets them know that we're paying attention,

312
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: and so we have to focus on that war. Remember,

313
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: it is only three and a half percent of our

314
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: defense budget, you know, percentage of GDP eleven European countries

315
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: have spent more than America, and so that's a pretty

316
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: small price to pay and a pretty good return on

317
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: investment to prevent further war.

318
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: You've said you don't want to actually send cash to Ukraine.

319
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: You said you want to send arms, you want to

320
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: protect them. The Biden administration right now is getting a

321
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: lot of heat over sending cash to Ukraine and leaving

322
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: Hawaii just kind of out there. People haven't even been

323
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: able to return to their homes. There's this sense in

324
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: the country, and I think some of this came from

325
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: the America first rhetoric that you are either for America

326
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: or you are for an America that looks outside of

327
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: the country as well. You've said that those things are

328
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: not mutually exclusive. To stay a leader in this world,

329
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: you have to be able to do both. So how

330
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: do you address Ukraine and how do you address Hawaii

331
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: at the same time.

332
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's the same issue with the border. I mean,

333
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: any candidate that tells you have to choose between the

334
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: border and Ukraine, or that you have to choose between

335
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: Hawaii and Ukraine, they're just lying to you. I mean,

336
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: America can handle multiple things at the same time. First

337
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: of all, we should help the people of Hawaii. I mean,

338
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: what happened to them is horrific. What you've seen them

339
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: lose is awful, and and Americans should rally and we

340
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: should be there in support of them. When you look

341
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: at Ukraine, I honestly don't think we should ever give

342
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: cash to any country because I don't think we can

343
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: hold it accountable. We should always have durable things that

344
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: we can see that we can hold accountable so that

345
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: we know. So I don't think we should give cash

346
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: to Ukraine. I don't think we should put troops on

347
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: the ground, but I think we need to work with

348
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: our allies to make sure they have the equipment and

349
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: the ammunition to win. And the reason for that is

350
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: dictators always tell you what they're going to do. China

351
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: said they were going to take Hong Kong. They did.

352
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: Russia said they were going to invade Ukraine. We watched them.

353
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: China says Taiwan is next. We better believe them. Russia said,

354
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: after Ukraine, it's Poland in the Baltics. If that happens,

355
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: then we are all at war. That's what we're trying

356
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: to prevent. I am the spouse of a combat veteran.

357
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: My husband is now currently deployed. The last thing any

358
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: military family wants is to see their loved ones have

359
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: to go fight a war. I am determined to prevent war.

360
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: But the only way you prevent wars would strength. We

361
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: need to finish this. There is a reason that Taiwanese

362
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: are the biggest supporters of US and the Europeans sending

363
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: aid and equipment to Ukraine. It's because they know if

364
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: the Ukrainians win, China won't touch them. That's what we

365
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: have to remember, and so we need to start focusing

366
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: on doing multiple things at one time. National security should

367
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: always be the focus. We have to protect Americans, but

368
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: we can also do things like protecting the border, supporting

369
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: the people in Hawaii. If we want to talk about spending,

370
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: why don't we talk about the fact that Republicans and

371
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: Democrats are spending like drunken sailors. Why don't we talk

372
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: about the fact that we're now thirty two trillion dollars

373
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: in debt, We're having to borrow money just to make

374
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: our interest payments. Why don't we talk about the fact

375
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 2: that Republicans opened up earmarks for the first time in

376
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: ten years, when one in six American families can't pay

377
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: their utility bill and sixty percent of Americans are loving

378
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: paycheck to paycheck. So you know, a lot of what

379
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 2: you're going to hear other candidates say are scare tactics.

380
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: But the reality is a leader knows how to prioritize,

381
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: and a leader knows how to make sure that, yes,

382
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 2: Americans are taken care of first. But you always protect

383
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: the national security of America because we all just saw

384
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: again the evil that happened on nine to eleven. America

385
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: can never be so arrogant to think that that won't

386
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: happen again.

387
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: Well, when we've seen a lot of this you brought

388
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: up spending. We've seen a lot of the spending going

389
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: into these kind of pie in the sky ideas. We

390
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: see what's going on with even the Secretary of Energy

391
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: going on a road trip and realizing that she can't

392
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: charge her fleet in enough time to get to the

393
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: next place. I mean this idea that we can get

394
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: these charging systems up and we're paying everybody to buy

395
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: electric vehicles. The government can't buy an indus, but they're

396
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: certainly trying. Now. I want to talk a little bit

397
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: about Taiwan. You hit on that because we have a

398
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: source inside the military that tells us that Taiwan bought

399
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: and paid for jets from the United States. These jets

400
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: three years ago were never delivered during the Biden administration,

401
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: he decided to put this delivery on hold. Now, when

402
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: he puts a delivery of jets on hold, he doesn't

403
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: have to let Congress know. He only has to tell

404
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: them if he cancels the contract. We are wondering, first

405
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: of all, did these jets go to Ukraine? Where are

406
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: these jets? But secondly, is Biden too compromised by China

407
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: to be sure that we for us to be sure

408
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: that he will protect Taiwan? And could this be more

409
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: nefarious than just putting this order on hold?

410
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: Well, two things to that. First of all, this isn't

411
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: the first time Biden's pulled something like that. If you

412
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: remember Russia, surrounded Ukraine a whole year before they actually invaded,

413
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: and during that time, there was a shipment that was

414
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: supposed to go to Ukraine in March of that year.

415
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: Biden held it back because he didn't want to upset Putin.

416
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: There was another shipment that was supposed to go in

417
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: June of that year. Biden pulled that back because he

418
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 2: didn't want to upset Putin. Every ounce of that was

419
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 2: weakness to show Putin that he was okay to do

420
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: the aggression. And then you had the Afghanistan debacle and

421
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: that was the green light for everyone. And so now

422
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: you look at what's happening with China and once again

423
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: he's scared of his shadow, is weak in the knees,

424
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: and we don't know what other issues are at play

425
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to that, but it makes no sense,

426
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: after seeing what happened with Russian Ukraine for him not

427
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: to already be giving something that Taiwan has asked and

428
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: paid for give it to them, because what you're doing

429
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: when you don't do that is you're sending the same

430
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 2: smoke signals you sent to Putin before he invaded Ukraine.

431
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: You're sending those same smoke signals to she as he

432
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: wants to invade Taiwan. It it really does make no sense.

433
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he has been running from everything since he

434
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: took office. Kamala Harris is not doing anything about it.

435
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: And in America that runs scared is in America that's vulnerable.

436
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: We have to be strong. We have to let our

437
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 2: enemies know that we will that they will have hell

438
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 2: to pay if they do anything that endangers Americans or

439
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: any of our allies.

440
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on

441
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. I think we feel vulnerable overseas,

442
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: and we feel vulnerable on American soil. I want to

443
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about education right now because parents

444
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: are looking for someone who is going to improve education

445
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 1: in this country. In Michigan, we have many schools that

446
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: barely reach five percent in reading and math proficiency. Some

447
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: of your opponents have come out and said they want

448
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: to eliminate the federal Department of Ed and throw all

449
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: of the control back to the states. Right now, when

450
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: you look at the situation with where we are in

451
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: and in many Democrat cities where kids are actually not

452
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: getting an education, the education is being stolen from them.

453
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: I've heard we recently heard a black pastor say, in

454
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, there were school administrators that stood in

455
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: the doorways keeping black children out. Today, school administrators stand

456
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: in the doorways keeping black children in. These schools are

457
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: not teaching these kids. Is it the right time right

458
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: now to say that the president in Washington, d C.

459
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: In general should completely step away from public education when

460
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: the system's failing so many kids.

461
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: It's really sad. I mean, as a mom, the fact

462
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 2: we have one job, one job, and that's to make

463
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: sure our kids have a better life than we did.

464
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 2: And you know, everybody wants to blame this education situation

465
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: on COVID. I mean, you got to speak hard truths here.

466
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: We had a problem with education before COVID. Pre COVID,

467
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 2: sixty seven percent of eighth graders in our country were

468
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 2: not proficient in reading our math. A couple of months

469
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 2: ago it came out that over eighty percent we're not

470
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: proficient in history or Civics. And then two weeks ago

471
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: they come out and they say our thirteen year olds

472
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: are scoring the lowest in decades in reading in math,

473
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: and so we've got kids in a world of hurt.

474
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: What we need to do is first focus on in

475
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: South Carolina. We knew if a child couldn't read by

476
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: third grade, they were four times less likely to graduate

477
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: high school. So we started holding our kids back. We

478
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: brought in reading remediation plans, we brought in their parents,

479
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: and we set them up for success. We've got to

480
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: do that all over this country. We also have to

481
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: acknowledge the fact that DC is not looking out for

482
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: our children. We have to make sure no parents should

483
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: ever wonder what's being said or talk to their child

484
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: in the classroom. We need complete transparency in the classroom,

485
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: and we need to make sure that parents decide which

486
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: schools their kids go to. Every child deserves a good education,

487
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 2: regardless of where they're born and raised. No child should

488
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: be mandated based on a zip code. And so what

489
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: I'll tell you is I think that we need to

490
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: take a look a lot of those programs. I'm not

491
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: just going to do it with Department of Education, but

492
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: for all of our federal agencies. I plan on moving

493
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: a lot of those programs down to the states, because

494
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 2: what you do is you reduce the size of the

495
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: federal government and you empower the people and the states

496
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: on the ground. So think education think healthcare, think welfare,

497
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: think benefits. There's a lot that we can do down there.

498
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: But I also think we need to bring vocational classes

499
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: back into the high schools in South Carolina. We made

500
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: we did apprenticeships all over our states so that our

501
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: kids were learning how to build what we were making.

502
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 2: But those vocational classes, a vocational class curriculum in South

503
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 2: Carolina would be very different than a vocational class curriculum

504
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 2: in Michigan or Texas or anywhere else. So that's why

505
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: sending the money down to the states and letting the

506
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: states decide what our kids need is hugely important. We've

507
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: seen the dangers of these teachers' unions, and what I

508
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: will say to every parent is we are not going

509
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: to turn over custody of our children to school bureaucrats

510
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: or teachers' unions to tell us how to parent. We

511
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: need to keep control and we need to fight for

512
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: parents in the way that we do that.

513
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely I agree. One last question before I let you go.

514
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: We have had so many people come out and say

515
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: that they have been injured by this vaccine. This is

516
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: the one vaccine where pharmaceutical companies have not had to

517
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 1: release their data. We don't know what they're seeing as

518
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: side effects. We don't know if they are seeing that

519
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: this myocarditis is dangerous. There are parents that are scared.

520
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: They want answers. Will you require the pharmaceutical companies to

521
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: release their data and let our universities look through it

522
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: and find out what exactly is happening when these young

523
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: people are taking vaccines and then having blood cloths having

524
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: heart issues.

525
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and let's take it a step further, you know,

526
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, you saw during COVID what happened.

527
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: You know, when I was governor of South Carolina and

528
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 2: we had hurricanes, the thing I would do is I'd

529
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: go on TV twice a day and I would tell

530
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 2: South Carolinians everything I knew, the dangers, the challenges, what

531
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: we weren't sure of, what we were trying to fix.

532
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: Full transparency. We need a government that's fully transparent to Americans,

533
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 2: not a government that mandates and tells them what to do.

534
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: What should have happened is they should have given people

535
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: all of the information we had on the virus, the vaccines,

536
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: and everything in between, and let those people decide whether

537
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 2: they thought it was in the best interest for them,

538
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: their children and their families that didn't happen. We can

539
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: never let that happen again. The second thing is when

540
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 2: it comes to healthcare, we need to expose all of it,

541
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: the insurance companies, the hospitals, the pharmaceutical companies, the PBMs,

542
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 2: the doctors. They need to start making everything transparent. I

543
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: trust the American people, they know how to make the

544
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: best decisions, but we deserve every ounce of information to

545
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: be able to make those decisions. So yes, absolutely, in

546
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: order for us to go forward, we need to know

547
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 2: one what was done to our bodies and two what

548
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: would happen in the future going forward in terms of

549
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 2: any kind of vaccine.

550
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: I have to say, as someone who's gone through my

551
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: own medical challenges, to hear you say that the negotiation

552
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: shouldn't be between the hospital and the insurance company, that

553
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: the patient should be involved. It was, it was so meaningful.

554
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: I remember getting those bills afterward and going how how

555
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: can this possibly be? So that I think every American

556
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: can say thank you? And I say thank you so

557
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: much for being here today. Nikki Haley, please tell us

568
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: we're going to have to have a lot of courage.

Speaker 2: and courage for everyone to remember, don't complain about what

571
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: happens in a general election. If we don't play in

572
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,520
