Speaker 1: Hey, this is Buck Sexton and you're listening to the
Speaker 1: Tutor Dixon Podcast, part of the Clay Travers and Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton podcast Network. Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Today
Speaker 1: I am joined by former South Carolina governor, former Ambassador
Speaker 1: to the United Nations, and current candidate for President of
Speaker 1: the United States, Nicki Haley, Governor. It is a pleasure
Speaker 1: to have you here with us today.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks so much, Tutor. It's great to be on
Speaker 2: and please call me NICKI.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I want to talk about you
Speaker 1: were recently on Jake Tapper's program over the weekend and
Speaker 1: you talked about the cartels. The border was a winning
Speaker 1: issue in twenty sixteen, and it is certainly top of
Speaker 1: mind for those across the country as we see the
Speaker 1: mayor of New York City saying the city will collapse
Speaker 1: under the pressure of the influx of migrants. And I've
Speaker 1: often tried to explain to people we don't actually have
Speaker 1: an open border. We have a border that is totally
Speaker 1: controlled by the cartels. So how do we take back
Speaker 1: control of our own border when it seems like a
Speaker 1: wall isn't enough anymore.
Speaker 2: I think first knowledge that Kamala Harris has not been
Speaker 2: the borders are that everybody wants. And so when you
Speaker 2: think about the fact that we are actually running against
Speaker 2: a president Kamala Harris, you can only imagine the chaos
Speaker 2: that would go from it. And I actually went four
Speaker 2: hundred miles down that border tutor and it is unthinkable
Speaker 2: what I saw. I mean from the fact that sheriffs
Speaker 2: are constantly trying to catch illlegal immigrants, turn them over
Speaker 2: to border patrol. Border patrol documents them and releases them
Speaker 2: until their court date years from now. When you ask
Speaker 2: border patrol about their jobs, they tell you, you know
Speaker 2: that they're glorified babysitters, that no one lets them do
Speaker 2: their job. And I think that what we have to
Speaker 2: do is I don't think enough credit goes to Governor
Speaker 2: Greg Abbott. And the fact that he said, you know what,
Speaker 2: Texans can't bear this anymore, and if y'all think that
Speaker 2: we need to stop whining, why don't you take them?
Speaker 2: And the fact that he sent them to every sanctuary
Speaker 2: city was so telling because all of those governors and
Speaker 2: mayors of those areas, basically we're saying that we're Republicans
Speaker 2: were bad people because we didn't want to take illegal
Speaker 2: immigrants now.
Speaker 1: And they're still calling him a psychopath. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the crazy thing. They ended up with exactly what they wanted.
Speaker 1: They're going after Abbott and they're saying it should be
Speaker 1: a remaining Texas policy rather than remain in Mexico.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly why I think it's great he sent it,
Speaker 2: because now they feel just a drop of what those
Speaker 2: Texans are feeling with. They're feeling just a little bit
Speaker 2: of what they're feeling on the northern border. I talked
Speaker 2: to that in Granite Staters in New Hampshire. But what
Speaker 2: we need to do is, first we need to go
Speaker 2: to China and say, look, we'll end all normal trade
Speaker 2: relations with you until you stop killing Americans with fentanyl.
Speaker 2: And the second thing is I think we need to
Speaker 2: send our special operations over to take out the cartels.
Speaker 2: We can't wait on Mexico anymore to do this. We
Speaker 2: can't allow one more American to die from this. We
Speaker 2: need to treat them like the terrorists that they are.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that because you said that
Speaker 1: when you were talking to Jake Tapper. So I think
Speaker 1: that's interesting because that's a time when we know that
Speaker 1: the other side is actually listening. Owents have come out
Speaker 1: and said they'll go after them, they'll take them out,
Speaker 1: they'll kill them, but it has seemed very erratic. The
Speaker 1: way you talk about it is different. You talked about
Speaker 1: sending special forces going in there. Is there a way
Speaker 1: to work with Mexico on this or do you think
Speaker 1: America is alone on defeating the cartels.
Speaker 2: I think that Mexico's overwhelmed quite frankly. I think in
Speaker 2: Mexico's got some corruption too, where they're getting paid by
Speaker 2: some of the cartels. I think that we obviously go
Speaker 2: in and we say, look, either you do this or
Speaker 2: we do this, but either way we're going to get
Speaker 2: it done. But you don't wait on them. We can't
Speaker 2: keep waiting for Mexico to say, oh, we're going to
Speaker 2: figure this out, and we don't need to send full
Speaker 2: on military at the border. We have special operations just
Speaker 2: like they took out ben lad just like they've taken
Speaker 2: out Isis. We've got special operations that know how to
Speaker 2: do this, and they can go and destroy the areas
Speaker 2: of the cartels. We need to see exactly where the
Speaker 2: production is happening. Those are the areas you take out.
Speaker 2: You look at the kingpins, those are the people you
Speaker 2: take out, and so you do anyone that has any
Speaker 2: control of the trafficking. And by the way, this is
Speaker 2: not just about drugs, but those that are trafficking people
Speaker 2: as well, and I think we need to treat them
Speaker 2: like the terrorists that they are. It needs to be
Speaker 2: you know, fine tuned. Our special operations know exactly how
Speaker 2: to do this. They're incredibly professional on the way they
Speaker 2: do it. But we don't wait on Mexico. They can
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to fix it. But you know, to me,
Speaker 2: we've given them enough opportunity and they continue not to
Speaker 2: do anything about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you made the point that this is so
Speaker 1: urgent because fentanyl that has come across the border has
Speaker 1: killed more people in the United States than we've seen
Speaker 1: in three wars. This is a critical time. This is
Speaker 1: a crisis. When you talk about a health emergency, we're
Speaker 1: talking about not only taking care of children that are
Speaker 1: crossing the border, children that are being raped every day,
Speaker 1: but our own American These are children's the children, these
Speaker 1: are parents, everybody who's been affected by fentanyl as well.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate what you're talking about doing there I
Speaker 1: want to head to your experience as ambassador to the UN.
Speaker 1: And I think that this is something that people don't realize,
Speaker 1: the experience that you've had. And I've talked to people
Speaker 1: across the country who have said, well, what do you
Speaker 1: think about Nikki Haley? And I said, I mean, if
Speaker 1: we look at the stage, there is no one else
Speaker 1: that we see there who has been the chief executive
Speaker 1: of a state and also ambassador to the UN. And
Speaker 1: that gives you a foreign policy experience that the others
Speaker 1: up there just don't have. But when you were ambassador
Speaker 1: to the UN, you took an America first approach to
Speaker 1: the US foreign aid. The media manipulated that as punishment
Speaker 1: to poor nations. They considered it a strong arm approach
Speaker 1: to force these countries into receiving usaid only if they
Speaker 1: align with American politics. Can you tell us the truth
Speaker 1: about that strategy back then and how that experience shaped
Speaker 1: your foreign policy today?
Speaker 2: Well, I think for those that don't know about the
Speaker 2: United Nations, it basically required me to I had to
Speaker 2: deal with the Chinese and the Russians every day. Every
Speaker 2: day I was having to interact with them, but I
Speaker 2: was dealing with one hundred and ninety three countries, and
Speaker 2: so you know, I really went into the United Nations saying,
Speaker 2: I want countries to know what America's for and what
Speaker 2: America's against. I didn't care if they didn't like me,
Speaker 2: but I wanted them to respect America. And we did.
Speaker 2: We got to work. We pulled ourselves out of the
Speaker 2: Iran deal. I negotiated the largest set of sanctions against
Speaker 2: the country in a generation with North Korea, and I
Speaker 2: did that negotiating with China and Russia. We moved our
Speaker 2: embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. But the best thing
Speaker 2: that we did was we took the kick me sign
Speaker 2: off of our backs and America was respected again. And
Speaker 2: when you look at that situation, I go back to
Speaker 2: one day when we were condemned by the entire world
Speaker 2: from moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. And
Speaker 2: I was furious because while we were condemned, I was
Speaker 2: proud to issue the American veto. I was proud to
Speaker 2: let them know exactly how I felt about it, and
Speaker 2: I let the world know that. But I was upset
Speaker 2: because America has the right to put our embassy anywhere.
Speaker 2: We always put it in the capital of every country.
Speaker 2: Jeru is the capital of Israel. So we were acknowledging
Speaker 2: a truth. But I went back to my office and
Speaker 2: I told my staff, I said, I want you to
Speaker 2: put a book together. In that book, I want you
Speaker 2: to list all one hundred and ninety three countries. I
Speaker 2: want the second column to be the percentage of times
Speaker 2: they vote with the US and against the US. And
Speaker 2: I want the third column to be how much foreign
Speaker 2: aid we gave them. And I took that book and
Speaker 2: I gave it to President Trump and he totally lost
Speaker 2: his mighty, slipping pages. He's yelling out countries, he's all upset.
Speaker 2: And what I told him then was I'm not saying
Speaker 2: you give foreign aid based on a percentage vote at
Speaker 2: the UN, but that should be one of the things
Speaker 2: we look at. Quit trying to buy friends, quit paying
Speaker 2: off enemies. Last year, America gave fifty billion dollars in
Speaker 2: foreign eight. You know who. They gave it to Pakistan,
Speaker 2: who tried to harbor terris that tried to kill our soldiers, Iraq,
Speaker 2: who has Iranian influence. It says death to America. Zimbabwe,
Speaker 2: the most anti American African country there is. America gave
Speaker 2: money to Belarus, who's holding hands with Russia as they
Speaker 2: invade Ukraine. We gave money to communist Cuba, who's now
Speaker 2: putting up a spy center. With China, who the US
Speaker 2: named a state sponsor of terrorism and the biggest kick
Speaker 2: in the gut Tutor, we gave money to China. How
Speaker 2: embarrassing do we look? When I am president, we will
Speaker 2: no longer give money to countries that hate America. We
Speaker 2: need to be smart, we need to be strategic, and
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest part about the foreign aid
Speaker 2: we need to understand is you don't make friends by
Speaker 2: giving them money. This is like a business deal. It
Speaker 2: has to be a win win. There can be small
Speaker 2: countries that we get something good from. There can be
Speaker 2: big countries that we get something good from. But it
Speaker 2: has to be countries who believe in what we're trying
Speaker 2: to do, which is save freedom, believe in democracy, and
Speaker 2: fight off the enemies that want to destroy you.
Speaker 1: Talk about the kick Me sign. Just over the weekend,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden came out and said that well before he
Speaker 1: said he had to go to bed on the world stage,
Speaker 1: he came out and said he wanted to see China succeed.
Speaker 1: What does China succeeding look like for the.
Speaker 2: US defeating America. I mean, China is an enemy. They've
Speaker 2: been preparing for war with US for years. It is
Speaker 2: unbelievable to me how weak in the knees Joe Biden
Speaker 2: and Kamala Harris are when it comes to China. This
Speaker 2: is not a country who just talks about not liking America.
Speaker 2: This is a country who has already infiltrated America. They
Speaker 2: have bought up four hundred thousand acres of US soil,
Speaker 2: most recently near Grand Forks Air Force Base, where our
Speaker 2: most sensitive drone technology is. Never forget food security as
Speaker 2: national security, so as they bought up this farmland, it's
Speaker 2: a real issue. They bought the largest pork producer in
Speaker 2: our country in Iowa. They continue to go and put
Speaker 2: millions of dollars into our university by stealing our recent
Speaker 2: search and spreading Chinese propaganda. There are technologies that we
Speaker 2: never want China to have because we know it builds
Speaker 2: up their military and it threatens America. Joe Biden's administration
Speaker 2: approved seventy percent of that technology last year. We have
Speaker 2: Chinese communist parties that are lobbying our members of Congress.
Speaker 2: And as much as everyone was upset about that Chinese
Speaker 2: five balloon, ninety percent of law enforcement drones in our
Speaker 2: country are Chinese. So now think of all of those
Speaker 2: minipy balloons all over they you said it before, the
Speaker 2: number one cause of death for adults eighteen to forty
Speaker 2: five is fentanyl. Don't think for a second China doesn't
Speaker 2: know what they're doing when they send it over. And
Speaker 2: when you look at the military, look at how they've
Speaker 2: built up their military. China has the largest naval fleet
Speaker 2: in the world. They have three hundred and fifty ships.
Speaker 2: They'll have four hundred ships in two years. We won't
Speaker 2: even have three hundred and fifty ships in two decades.
Speaker 2: They've developed hypersonic missiles, we've barely gotten started. They're doing
Speaker 2: cyber artificial intelligence space. They've now become the biggest developer
Speaker 2: of neurostrike weapons, which is engineering ability to change the
Speaker 2: brain activity of military commanders and segments of the population.
Speaker 2: China is not playing. The problem is Joe Biden is
Speaker 2: asleep at the wheel and President Kamala Harris won't even
Speaker 2: know what to do with this. We need to wake
Speaker 2: up and see them for the enemy that they are.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. So let me ask you. We
Speaker 1: have you mentioned that there are people in Congress who
Speaker 1: have talked to the CCP, of talked to CCP agents.
Speaker 1: We have a congresswoman in Michigan. Her name is Alissa Slotkin.
Speaker 1: She is running for Senate in the state of Michigan
Speaker 1: now we have an open Senate seat. She signed an
Speaker 1: NDA with a Chinese company who is buying up land
Speaker 1: in the state of Michigan right next to a military base.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: They are putting in a Chinese battery factory. We don't
Speaker 1: know what these batteries will be used for. All we
Speaker 1: know is that the word on the street is that
Speaker 1: they will go to another country, likely Morocco, not even
Speaker 1: to anybody in the United States. They'll not be used
Speaker 1: in the United States. But this woman, Alyssa Slockin, who's
Speaker 1: running for Senate right now in the state of Michigan,
Speaker 1: signed a non disclosure agreement to sit down with this company.
Speaker 1: They are known very connected to the CCP. They have
Speaker 1: a Chinese Communist committee in their company. The CEO of
Speaker 1: the American subsidiary is the secretary of that CCP committee,
Speaker 1: and they are giving seven hundred and fifteen million dollars
Speaker 1: of taxpayer money to go to this company to buy
Speaker 1: land in the state of Michigan and run this factory there.
Speaker 1: If that's what they're even doing, we don't know. Alissa
Speaker 1: Slockin goes because she signed the non disclosure agreement. What
Speaker 1: do you say about the fact that we have people
Speaker 1: in Congress who are signing NDAs with the CCP because
Speaker 1: the Biden administration said this is out of their jurisdiction.
Speaker 1: What does a Haley administration do about this.
Speaker 2: Say, complete disqualifier from her serving in office because she
Speaker 2: is literally going against the national security of Americans. We
Speaker 2: have to look at this as the national security issue
Speaker 2: it is. You don't get to sign NDAs with the
Speaker 2: Communist Chinese Party. And that's why I don't want to
Speaker 2: just end the lobbying of these Chinese companies. I want
Speaker 2: to end all foreign lobbying. That's what ambassadors are for.
Speaker 2: We need to stop all of this. But the fact
Speaker 2: that they are doing that one, I don't want them
Speaker 2: buying US oil, but not only that, I want to
Speaker 2: take back what they've already bought. I want to make
Speaker 2: sure that we go and really get China out of
Speaker 2: our country. We cannot have them here anymore. All they're
Speaker 2: trying to do is do harm, and we have to
Speaker 2: start seeing this for the national security threat it is.
Speaker 2: I hope that we continue to expose her for what
Speaker 2: she's done. I hope we expose other members of Congress,
Speaker 2: because she's not the only one. And I hope that
Speaker 2: every American realizes that's a disqualifier for them service for office.
Speaker 2: Because if you will go and put Americans safety in
Speaker 2: danger by negotiating with communist China, the Chinese Party who
Speaker 2: wants to destroy America, you no longer need to serve
Speaker 2: the American people. Amen.
Speaker 1: I agree with you there. I want to go back.
Speaker 1: You talked about the Iran nuclear deal. You've been called
Speaker 1: the Iran whisperer. You played a prominent role in the
Speaker 1: decision to repeal that nuclear deal. But Americans can be
Speaker 1: naive as to the dangers of other countries. Iran will
Speaker 1: hang their own people in the streets if they disagree
Speaker 1: with the regime. China has been accused of genocide of
Speaker 1: the Wigers, also holding laborers as slaves and also many
Speaker 1: other human rights offenses. North Korea is a starving country
Speaker 1: run by a dictator consumed by his own quest to
Speaker 1: become a nuclear power. And let's go to Russia for
Speaker 1: a second, because Vladimir Putin doesn't even prosecute his political opponents,
Speaker 1: he just kills them. We all remember Alexi Nelvanni who
Speaker 1: was poisoned. We all remember Progosian who just a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago his plane fell from the sky incidents. What
Speaker 1: happens if these countries that are being called the new
Speaker 1: Axis of evil align and how does your administration address this?
Speaker 2: They are already aligning. So you can see the unification
Speaker 2: of China and Russia. I mean, it's why I will
Speaker 2: always say a win for Russia is a win for China.
Speaker 2: But you can see the unification of Russia and China.
Speaker 2: They named Iran as their junior partner. And now you
Speaker 2: see Russia really getting in close with North Korea. And
Speaker 2: they're all aligned for one reason. They all hate America,
Speaker 2: and so we have to focus on what it takes
Speaker 2: to stop them. The first thing you have to look
Speaker 2: at is when you look at this Russian Ukrainian war,
Speaker 2: It's why it matters so much because if Ukraine wins,
Speaker 2: it sends the biggest message to China on not to
Speaker 2: invade Taiwan and lets them know that we're paying attention,
Speaker 2: and so we have to focus on that war. Remember,
Speaker 2: it is only three and a half percent of our
Speaker 2: defense budget, you know, percentage of GDP eleven European countries
Speaker 2: have spent more than America, and so that's a pretty
Speaker 2: small price to pay and a pretty good return on
Speaker 2: investment to prevent further war.
Speaker 1: You've said you don't want to actually send cash to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: You said you want to send arms, you want to
Speaker 1: protect them. The Biden administration right now is getting a
Speaker 1: lot of heat over sending cash to Ukraine and leaving
Speaker 1: Hawaii just kind of out there. People haven't even been
Speaker 1: able to return to their homes. There's this sense in
Speaker 1: the country, and I think some of this came from
Speaker 1: the America first rhetoric that you are either for America
Speaker 1: or you are for an America that looks outside of
Speaker 1: the country as well. You've said that those things are
Speaker 1: not mutually exclusive. To stay a leader in this world,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to do both. So how
Speaker 1: do you address Ukraine and how do you address Hawaii
Speaker 1: at the same time.
Speaker 2: You know, it's the same issue with the border. I mean,
Speaker 2: any candidate that tells you have to choose between the
Speaker 2: border and Ukraine, or that you have to choose between
Speaker 2: Hawaii and Ukraine, they're just lying to you. I mean,
Speaker 2: America can handle multiple things at the same time. First
Speaker 2: of all, we should help the people of Hawaii. I mean,
Speaker 2: what happened to them is horrific. What you've seen them
Speaker 2: lose is awful, and and Americans should rally and we
Speaker 2: should be there in support of them. When you look
Speaker 2: at Ukraine, I honestly don't think we should ever give
Speaker 2: cash to any country because I don't think we can
Speaker 2: hold it accountable. We should always have durable things that
Speaker 2: we can see that we can hold accountable so that
Speaker 2: we know. So I don't think we should give cash
Speaker 2: to Ukraine. I don't think we should put troops on
Speaker 2: the ground, but I think we need to work with
Speaker 2: our allies to make sure they have the equipment and
Speaker 2: the ammunition to win. And the reason for that is
Speaker 2: dictators always tell you what they're going to do. China
Speaker 2: said they were going to take Hong Kong. They did.
Speaker 2: Russia said they were going to invade Ukraine. We watched them.
Speaker 2: China says Taiwan is next. We better believe them. Russia said,
Speaker 2: after Ukraine, it's Poland in the Baltics. If that happens,
Speaker 2: then we are all at war. That's what we're trying
Speaker 2: to prevent. I am the spouse of a combat veteran.
Speaker 2: My husband is now currently deployed. The last thing any
Speaker 2: military family wants is to see their loved ones have
Speaker 2: to go fight a war. I am determined to prevent war.
Speaker 2: But the only way you prevent wars would strength. We
Speaker 2: need to finish this. There is a reason that Taiwanese
Speaker 2: are the biggest supporters of US and the Europeans sending
Speaker 2: aid and equipment to Ukraine. It's because they know if
Speaker 2: the Ukrainians win, China won't touch them. That's what we
Speaker 2: have to remember, and so we need to start focusing
Speaker 2: on doing multiple things at one time. National security should
Speaker 2: always be the focus. We have to protect Americans, but
Speaker 2: we can also do things like protecting the border, supporting
Speaker 2: the people in Hawaii. If we want to talk about spending,
Speaker 2: why don't we talk about the fact that Republicans and
Speaker 2: Democrats are spending like drunken sailors. Why don't we talk
Speaker 2: about the fact that we're now thirty two trillion dollars
Speaker 2: in debt, We're having to borrow money just to make
Speaker 2: our interest payments. Why don't we talk about the fact
Speaker 2: that Republicans opened up earmarks for the first time in
Speaker 2: ten years, when one in six American families can't pay
Speaker 2: their utility bill and sixty percent of Americans are loving
Speaker 2: paycheck to paycheck. So you know, a lot of what
Speaker 2: you're going to hear other candidates say are scare tactics.
Speaker 2: But the reality is a leader knows how to prioritize,
Speaker 2: and a leader knows how to make sure that, yes,
Speaker 2: Americans are taken care of first. But you always protect
Speaker 2: the national security of America because we all just saw
Speaker 2: again the evil that happened on nine to eleven. America
Speaker 2: can never be so arrogant to think that that won't
Speaker 2: happen again.
Speaker 1: Well, when we've seen a lot of this you brought
Speaker 1: up spending. We've seen a lot of the spending going
Speaker 1: into these kind of pie in the sky ideas. We
Speaker 1: see what's going on with even the Secretary of Energy
Speaker 1: going on a road trip and realizing that she can't
Speaker 1: charge her fleet in enough time to get to the
Speaker 1: next place. I mean this idea that we can get
Speaker 1: these charging systems up and we're paying everybody to buy
Speaker 1: electric vehicles. The government can't buy an indus, but they're
Speaker 1: certainly trying. Now. I want to talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about Taiwan. You hit on that because we have a
Speaker 1: source inside the military that tells us that Taiwan bought
Speaker 1: and paid for jets from the United States. These jets
Speaker 1: three years ago were never delivered during the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: he decided to put this delivery on hold. Now, when
Speaker 1: he puts a delivery of jets on hold, he doesn't
Speaker 1: have to let Congress know. He only has to tell
Speaker 1: them if he cancels the contract. We are wondering, first
Speaker 1: of all, did these jets go to Ukraine? Where are
Speaker 1: these jets? But secondly, is Biden too compromised by China
Speaker 1: to be sure that we for us to be sure
Speaker 1: that he will protect Taiwan? And could this be more
Speaker 1: nefarious than just putting this order on hold?
Speaker 2: Well, two things to that. First of all, this isn't
Speaker 2: the first time Biden's pulled something like that. If you
Speaker 2: remember Russia, surrounded Ukraine a whole year before they actually invaded,
Speaker 2: and during that time, there was a shipment that was
Speaker 2: supposed to go to Ukraine in March of that year.
Speaker 2: Biden held it back because he didn't want to upset Putin.
Speaker 2: There was another shipment that was supposed to go in
Speaker 2: June of that year. Biden pulled that back because he
Speaker 2: didn't want to upset Putin. Every ounce of that was
Speaker 2: weakness to show Putin that he was okay to do
Speaker 2: the aggression. And then you had the Afghanistan debacle and
Speaker 2: that was the green light for everyone. And so now
Speaker 2: you look at what's happening with China and once again
Speaker 2: he's scared of his shadow, is weak in the knees,
Speaker 2: and we don't know what other issues are at play
Speaker 2: when it comes to that, but it makes no sense,
Speaker 2: after seeing what happened with Russian Ukraine for him not
Speaker 2: to already be giving something that Taiwan has asked and
Speaker 2: paid for give it to them, because what you're doing
Speaker 2: when you don't do that is you're sending the same
Speaker 2: smoke signals you sent to Putin before he invaded Ukraine.
Speaker 2: You're sending those same smoke signals to she as he
Speaker 2: wants to invade Taiwan. It it really does make no sense.
Speaker 2: I mean, he has been running from everything since he
Speaker 2: took office. Kamala Harris is not doing anything about it.
Speaker 2: And in America that runs scared is in America that's vulnerable.
Speaker 2: We have to be strong. We have to let our
Speaker 2: enemies know that we will that they will have hell
Speaker 2: to pay if they do anything that endangers Americans or
Speaker 2: any of our allies.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. I think we feel vulnerable overseas,
Speaker 1: and we feel vulnerable on American soil. I want to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about education right now because parents
Speaker 1: are looking for someone who is going to improve education
Speaker 1: in this country. In Michigan, we have many schools that
Speaker 1: barely reach five percent in reading and math proficiency. Some
Speaker 1: of your opponents have come out and said they want
Speaker 1: to eliminate the federal Department of Ed and throw all
Speaker 1: of the control back to the states. Right now, when
Speaker 1: you look at the situation with where we are in
Speaker 1: and in many Democrat cities where kids are actually not
Speaker 1: getting an education, the education is being stolen from them.
Speaker 1: I've heard we recently heard a black pastor say, in
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, there were school administrators that stood in
Speaker 1: the doorways keeping black children out. Today, school administrators stand
Speaker 1: in the doorways keeping black children in. These schools are
Speaker 1: not teaching these kids. Is it the right time right
Speaker 1: now to say that the president in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: In general should completely step away from public education when
Speaker 1: the system's failing so many kids.
Speaker 2: It's really sad. I mean, as a mom, the fact
Speaker 2: we have one job, one job, and that's to make
Speaker 2: sure our kids have a better life than we did.
Speaker 2: And you know, everybody wants to blame this education situation
Speaker 2: on COVID. I mean, you got to speak hard truths here.
Speaker 2: We had a problem with education before COVID. Pre COVID,
Speaker 2: sixty seven percent of eighth graders in our country were
Speaker 2: not proficient in reading our math. A couple of months
Speaker 2: ago it came out that over eighty percent we're not
Speaker 2: proficient in history or Civics. And then two weeks ago
Speaker 2: they come out and they say our thirteen year olds
Speaker 2: are scoring the lowest in decades in reading in math,
Speaker 2: and so we've got kids in a world of hurt.
Speaker 2: What we need to do is first focus on in
Speaker 2: South Carolina. We knew if a child couldn't read by
Speaker 2: third grade, they were four times less likely to graduate
Speaker 2: high school. So we started holding our kids back. We
Speaker 2: brought in reading remediation plans, we brought in their parents,
Speaker 2: and we set them up for success. We've got to
Speaker 2: do that all over this country. We also have to
Speaker 2: acknowledge the fact that DC is not looking out for
Speaker 2: our children. We have to make sure no parents should
Speaker 2: ever wonder what's being said or talk to their child
Speaker 2: in the classroom. We need complete transparency in the classroom,
Speaker 2: and we need to make sure that parents decide which
Speaker 2: schools their kids go to. Every child deserves a good education,
Speaker 2: regardless of where they're born and raised. No child should
Speaker 2: be mandated based on a zip code. And so what
Speaker 2: I'll tell you is I think that we need to
Speaker 2: take a look a lot of those programs. I'm not
Speaker 2: just going to do it with Department of Education, but
Speaker 2: for all of our federal agencies. I plan on moving
Speaker 2: a lot of those programs down to the states, because
Speaker 2: what you do is you reduce the size of the
Speaker 2: federal government and you empower the people and the states
Speaker 2: on the ground. So think education think healthcare, think welfare,
Speaker 2: think benefits. There's a lot that we can do down there.
Speaker 2: But I also think we need to bring vocational classes
Speaker 2: back into the high schools in South Carolina. We made
Speaker 2: we did apprenticeships all over our states so that our
Speaker 2: kids were learning how to build what we were making.
Speaker 2: But those vocational classes, a vocational class curriculum in South
Speaker 2: Carolina would be very different than a vocational class curriculum
Speaker 2: in Michigan or Texas or anywhere else. So that's why
Speaker 2: sending the money down to the states and letting the
Speaker 2: states decide what our kids need is hugely important. We've
Speaker 2: seen the dangers of these teachers' unions, and what I
Speaker 2: will say to every parent is we are not going
Speaker 2: to turn over custody of our children to school bureaucrats
Speaker 2: or teachers' unions to tell us how to parent. We
Speaker 2: need to keep control and we need to fight for
Speaker 2: parents in the way that we do that.
Speaker 1: Absolutely I agree. One last question before I let you go.
Speaker 1: We have had so many people come out and say
Speaker 1: that they have been injured by this vaccine. This is
Speaker 1: the one vaccine where pharmaceutical companies have not had to
Speaker 1: release their data. We don't know what they're seeing as
Speaker 1: side effects. We don't know if they are seeing that
Speaker 1: this myocarditis is dangerous. There are parents that are scared.
Speaker 1: They want answers. Will you require the pharmaceutical companies to
Speaker 1: release their data and let our universities look through it
Speaker 1: and find out what exactly is happening when these young
Speaker 1: people are taking vaccines and then having blood cloths having
Speaker 1: heart issues.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and let's take it a step further, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, you saw during COVID what happened.
Speaker 2: You know, when I was governor of South Carolina and
Speaker 2: we had hurricanes, the thing I would do is I'd
Speaker 2: go on TV twice a day and I would tell
Speaker 2: South Carolinians everything I knew, the dangers, the challenges, what
Speaker 2: we weren't sure of, what we were trying to fix.
Speaker 2: Full transparency. We need a government that's fully transparent to Americans,
Speaker 2: not a government that mandates and tells them what to do.
Speaker 2: What should have happened is they should have given people
Speaker 2: all of the information we had on the virus, the vaccines,
Speaker 2: and everything in between, and let those people decide whether
Speaker 2: they thought it was in the best interest for them,
Speaker 2: their children and their families that didn't happen. We can
Speaker 2: never let that happen again. The second thing is when
Speaker 2: it comes to healthcare, we need to expose all of it,
Speaker 2: the insurance companies, the hospitals, the pharmaceutical companies, the PBMs,
Speaker 2: the doctors. They need to start making everything transparent. I
Speaker 2: trust the American people, they know how to make the
Speaker 2: best decisions, but we deserve every ounce of information to
Speaker 2: be able to make those decisions. So yes, absolutely, in
Speaker 2: order for us to go forward, we need to know
Speaker 2: one what was done to our bodies and two what
Speaker 2: would happen in the future going forward in terms of
Speaker 2: any kind of vaccine.
Speaker 1: I have to say, as someone who's gone through my
Speaker 1: own medical challenges, to hear you say that the negotiation
Speaker 1: shouldn't be between the hospital and the insurance company, that
Speaker 1: the patient should be involved. It was, it was so meaningful.
Speaker 1: I remember getting those bills afterward and going how how
Speaker 1: can this possibly be? So that I think every American
Speaker 1: can say thank you? And I say thank you so
Speaker 1: much for being here today. Nikki Haley, please tell us
Speaker 1: how people can support you, Where can they find you?

Speaker 2: twenty five dollars today. We will finish this. We will
Speaker 2: finish this, and in order to do that, that means
Speaker 2: we're going to have to have a lot of courage.
Speaker 2: Courage from everyone in this country, Courage for me to run,
Speaker 2: and courage for everyone to remember, don't complain about what
Speaker 2: happens in a general election. If we don't play in
Speaker 2: this primary, it matters. But I know that we'll get
Speaker 2: this done. So join us at Nikki Haley dot com
Speaker 2: and let's take our country back.
