WEBVTT - The Tudor Dixon Podcast: One on One with Nikki Haley 0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:02.960 Hey, this is Buck Sexton and you're listening to the 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.160 Tutor Dixon Podcast, part of the Clay Travers and Buck 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:11.200 Sexton podcast Network. Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Today 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.040 I am joined by former South Carolina governor, former Ambassador 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.119 to the United Nations, and current candidate for President of 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.599 the United States, Nicki Haley, Governor. It is a pleasure 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:22.960 to have you here with us today. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:24.959 Well, thanks so much, Tutor. It's great to be on 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:26.040 and please call me NICKI. 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.960 Thank you so much. I want to talk about you 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.400 were recently on Jake Tapper's program over the weekend and 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.040 you talked about the cartels. The border was a winning 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.040 issue in twenty sixteen, and it is certainly top of 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.640 mind for those across the country as we see the 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.360 mayor of New York City saying the city will collapse 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.280 under the pressure of the influx of migrants. And I've 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.040 often tried to explain to people we don't actually have 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.680 an open border. We have a border that is totally 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.520 controlled by the cartels. So how do we take back 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.640 control of our own border when it seems like a 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.120 wall isn't enough anymore. 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.000 I think first knowledge that Kamala Harris has not been 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.440 the borders are that everybody wants. And so when you 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.800 think about the fact that we are actually running against 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.360 a president Kamala Harris, you can only imagine the chaos 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.920 that would go from it. And I actually went four 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.440 hundred miles down that border tutor and it is unthinkable 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.400 what I saw. I mean from the fact that sheriffs 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.640 are constantly trying to catch illlegal immigrants, turn them over 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.040 to border patrol. Border patrol documents them and releases them 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.839 until their court date years from now. When you ask 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.480 border patrol about their jobs, they tell you, you know 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.640 that they're glorified babysitters, that no one lets them do 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.920 their job. And I think that what we have to 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.560 do is I don't think enough credit goes to Governor 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.200 Greg Abbott. And the fact that he said, you know what, 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.680 Texans can't bear this anymore, and if y'all think that 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.160 we need to stop whining, why don't you take them? 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.640 And the fact that he sent them to every sanctuary 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:56.600 city was so telling because all of those governors and 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.560 mayors of those areas, basically we're saying that we're Republicans 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.320 were bad people because we didn't want to take illegal 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:04.520 immigrants now. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.280 And they're still calling him a psychopath. I mean, that's 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.360 the crazy thing. They ended up with exactly what they wanted. 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.760 They're going after Abbott and they're saying it should be 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.720 a remaining Texas policy rather than remain in Mexico. 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.000 And that's exactly why I think it's great he sent it, 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.480 because now they feel just a drop of what those 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.840 Texans are feeling with. They're feeling just a little bit 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.120 of what they're feeling on the northern border. I talked 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.680 to that in Granite Staters in New Hampshire. But what 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.360 we need to do is, first we need to go 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.040 to China and say, look, we'll end all normal trade 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.200 relations with you until you stop killing Americans with fentanyl. 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.120 And the second thing is I think we need to 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:43.040 send our special operations over to take out the cartels. 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.360 We can't wait on Mexico anymore to do this. We 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.000 can't allow one more American to die from this. We 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.040 need to treat them like the terrorists that they are. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.400 I want to talk about that because you said that 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.040 when you were talking to Jake Tapper. So I think 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.640 that's interesting because that's a time when we know that 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.840 the other side is actually listening. Owents have come out 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.839 and said they'll go after them, they'll take them out, 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.520 they'll kill them, but it has seemed very erratic. The 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.840 way you talk about it is different. You talked about 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.800 sending special forces going in there. Is there a way 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.600 to work with Mexico on this or do you think 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.840 America is alone on defeating the cartels. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.880 I think that Mexico's overwhelmed quite frankly. I think in 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.720 Mexico's got some corruption too, where they're getting paid by 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.400 some of the cartels. I think that we obviously go 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.240 in and we say, look, either you do this or 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.120 we do this, but either way we're going to get 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.440 it done. But you don't wait on them. We can't 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.400 keep waiting for Mexico to say, oh, we're going to 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.840 figure this out, and we don't need to send full 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.760 on military at the border. We have special operations just 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.400 like they took out ben lad just like they've taken 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.800 out Isis. We've got special operations that know how to 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.120 do this, and they can go and destroy the areas 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.240 of the cartels. We need to see exactly where the 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.680 production is happening. Those are the areas you take out. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.640 You look at the kingpins, those are the people you 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.400 take out, and so you do anyone that has any 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.720 control of the trafficking. And by the way, this is 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.920 not just about drugs, but those that are trafficking people 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.440 as well, and I think we need to treat them 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.520 like the terrorists that they are. It needs to be 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.800 you know, fine tuned. Our special operations know exactly how 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.440 to do this. They're incredibly professional on the way they 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.200 do it. But we don't wait on Mexico. They can 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.839 have an opportunity to fix it. But you know, to me, 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.400 we've given them enough opportunity and they continue not to 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:25.280 do anything about it. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.440 Yeah, and you made the point that this is so 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.719 urgent because fentanyl that has come across the border has 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.200 killed more people in the United States than we've seen 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.200 in three wars. This is a critical time. This is 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.320 a crisis. When you talk about a health emergency, we're 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.760 talking about not only taking care of children that are 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.520 crossing the border, children that are being raped every day, 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.200 but our own American These are children's the children, these 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.440 are parents, everybody who's been affected by fentanyl as well. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.320 So I appreciate what you're talking about doing there I 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.480 want to head to your experience as ambassador to the UN. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.039 And I think that this is something that people don't realize, 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.119 the experience that you've had. And I've talked to people 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.920 across the country who have said, well, what do you 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.680 think about Nikki Haley? And I said, I mean, if 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.960 we look at the stage, there is no one else 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.479 that we see there who has been the chief executive 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.240 of a state and also ambassador to the UN. And 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.000 that gives you a foreign policy experience that the others 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.680 up there just don't have. But when you were ambassador 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.640 to the UN, you took an America first approach to 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.680 the US foreign aid. The media manipulated that as punishment 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.720 to poor nations. They considered it a strong arm approach 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.360 to force these countries into receiving usaid only if they 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.000 align with American politics. Can you tell us the truth 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.360 about that strategy back then and how that experience shaped 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.960 your foreign policy today? 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.320 Well, I think for those that don't know about the 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.240 United Nations, it basically required me to I had to 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:55.080 deal with the Chinese and the Russians every day. Every 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.240 day I was having to interact with them, but I 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.520 was dealing with one hundred and ninety three countries, and 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.440 so you know, I really went into the United Nations saying, 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.440 I want countries to know what America's for and what 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.840 America's against. I didn't care if they didn't like me, 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.000 but I wanted them to respect America. And we did. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.120 We got to work. We pulled ourselves out of the 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.839 Iran deal. I negotiated the largest set of sanctions against 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.240 the country in a generation with North Korea, and I 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.520 did that negotiating with China and Russia. We moved our 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.920 embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. But the best thing 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.640 that we did was we took the kick me sign 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.320 off of our backs and America was respected again. And 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.000 when you look at that situation, I go back to 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.640 one day when we were condemned by the entire world 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.840 from moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. And 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.800 I was furious because while we were condemned, I was 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.360 proud to issue the American veto. I was proud to 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.560 let them know exactly how I felt about it, and 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.320 I let the world know that. But I was upset 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.000 because America has the right to put our embassy anywhere. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.320 We always put it in the capital of every country. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.720 Jeru is the capital of Israel. So we were acknowledging 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.640 a truth. But I went back to my office and 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.200 I told my staff, I said, I want you to 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.520 put a book together. In that book, I want you 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.280 to list all one hundred and ninety three countries. I 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.800 want the second column to be the percentage of times 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.200 they vote with the US and against the US. And 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.000 I want the third column to be how much foreign 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.200 aid we gave them. And I took that book and 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.160 I gave it to President Trump and he totally lost 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.960 his mighty, slipping pages. He's yelling out countries, he's all upset. 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.080 And what I told him then was I'm not saying 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.480 you give foreign aid based on a percentage vote at 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.040 the UN, but that should be one of the things 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.480 we look at. Quit trying to buy friends, quit paying 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:46.760 off enemies. Last year, America gave fifty billion dollars in 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.720 foreign eight. You know who. They gave it to Pakistan, 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:55.080 who tried to harbor terris that tried to kill our soldiers, Iraq, 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.000 who has Iranian influence. It says death to America. Zimbabwe, 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:03.160 the most anti American African country there is. America gave 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.160 money to Belarus, who's holding hands with Russia as they 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.840 invade Ukraine. We gave money to communist Cuba, who's now 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.400 putting up a spy center. With China, who the US 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.520 named a state sponsor of terrorism and the biggest kick 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.840 in the gut Tutor, we gave money to China. How 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.880 embarrassing do we look? When I am president, we will 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.320 no longer give money to countries that hate America. We 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.400 need to be smart, we need to be strategic, and 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.640 I think that's the biggest part about the foreign aid 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.439 we need to understand is you don't make friends by 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.760 giving them money. This is like a business deal. It 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.520 has to be a win win. There can be small 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.000 countries that we get something good from. There can be 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.440 big countries that we get something good from. But it 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.199 has to be countries who believe in what we're trying 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.840 to do, which is save freedom, believe in democracy, and 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.920 fight off the enemies that want to destroy you. 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.920 Talk about the kick Me sign. Just over the weekend, 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.760 Joe Biden came out and said that well before he 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.240 said he had to go to bed on the world stage, 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.119 he came out and said he wanted to see China succeed. 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.000 What does China succeeding look like for the. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:16.199 US defeating America. I mean, China is an enemy. They've 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.240 been preparing for war with US for years. It is 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.360 unbelievable to me how weak in the knees Joe Biden 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.200 and Kamala Harris are when it comes to China. This 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.199 is not a country who just talks about not liking America. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:35.160 This is a country who has already infiltrated America. They 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.040 have bought up four hundred thousand acres of US soil, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.040 most recently near Grand Forks Air Force Base, where our 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:45.040 most sensitive drone technology is. Never forget food security as 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.199 national security, so as they bought up this farmland, it's 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.520 a real issue. They bought the largest pork producer in 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.920 our country in Iowa. They continue to go and put 0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:00.000 millions of dollars into our university by stealing our recent 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:04.480 search and spreading Chinese propaganda. There are technologies that we 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.280 never want China to have because we know it builds 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.280 up their military and it threatens America. Joe Biden's administration 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:16.000 approved seventy percent of that technology last year. We have 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:21.240 Chinese communist parties that are lobbying our members of Congress. 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.480 And as much as everyone was upset about that Chinese 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.679 five balloon, ninety percent of law enforcement drones in our 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.200 country are Chinese. So now think of all of those 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:36.120 minipy balloons all over they you said it before, the 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.120 number one cause of death for adults eighteen to forty 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.839 five is fentanyl. Don't think for a second China doesn't 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.080 know what they're doing when they send it over. And 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.960 when you look at the military, look at how they've 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.880 built up their military. China has the largest naval fleet 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.520 in the world. They have three hundred and fifty ships. 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.880 They'll have four hundred ships in two years. We won't 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.359 even have three hundred and fifty ships in two decades. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.560 They've developed hypersonic missiles, we've barely gotten started. They're doing 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:08.080 cyber artificial intelligence space. They've now become the biggest developer 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:13.839 of neurostrike weapons, which is engineering ability to change the 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.880 brain activity of military commanders and segments of the population. 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.880 China is not playing. The problem is Joe Biden is 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.840 asleep at the wheel and President Kamala Harris won't even 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.440 know what to do with this. We need to wake 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.280 up and see them for the enemy that they are. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.240 Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:38.520 the Tutor Dixon Podcast. So let me ask you. We 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.040 have you mentioned that there are people in Congress who 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.720 have talked to the CCP, of talked to CCP agents. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.640 We have a congresswoman in Michigan. Her name is Alissa Slotkin. 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.080 She is running for Senate in the state of Michigan 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.520 now we have an open Senate seat. She signed an 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.280 NDA with a Chinese company who is buying up land 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.960 in the state of Michigan right next to a military base. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:00.520 Here. 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.920 They are putting in a Chinese battery factory. We don't 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:05.760 know what these batteries will be used for. All we 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.120 know is that the word on the street is that 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.000 they will go to another country, likely Morocco, not even 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.400 to anybody in the United States. They'll not be used 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.120 in the United States. But this woman, Alyssa Slockin, who's 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:17.880 running for Senate right now in the state of Michigan, 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.520 signed a non disclosure agreement to sit down with this company. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.800 They are known very connected to the CCP. They have 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:29.120 a Chinese Communist committee in their company. The CEO of 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.439 the American subsidiary is the secretary of that CCP committee, 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.040 and they are giving seven hundred and fifteen million dollars 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.040 of taxpayer money to go to this company to buy 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.000 land in the state of Michigan and run this factory there. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.360 If that's what they're even doing, we don't know. Alissa 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.480 Slockin goes because she signed the non disclosure agreement. What 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.120 do you say about the fact that we have people 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.720 in Congress who are signing NDAs with the CCP because 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.840 the Biden administration said this is out of their jurisdiction. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.079 What does a Haley administration do about this. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.120 Say, complete disqualifier from her serving in office because she 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.959 is literally going against the national security of Americans. We 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.720 have to look at this as the national security issue 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.240 it is. You don't get to sign NDAs with the 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.400 Communist Chinese Party. And that's why I don't want to 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.640 just end the lobbying of these Chinese companies. I want 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.000 to end all foreign lobbying. That's what ambassadors are for. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.560 We need to stop all of this. But the fact 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.720 that they are doing that one, I don't want them 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.120 buying US oil, but not only that, I want to 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.720 take back what they've already bought. I want to make 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.600 sure that we go and really get China out of 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.320 our country. We cannot have them here anymore. All they're 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.320 trying to do is do harm, and we have to 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.680 start seeing this for the national security threat it is. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.160 I hope that we continue to expose her for what 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.560 she's done. I hope we expose other members of Congress, 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.080 because she's not the only one. And I hope that 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.880 every American realizes that's a disqualifier for them service for office. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.040 Because if you will go and put Americans safety in 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:08.240 danger by negotiating with communist China, the Chinese Party who 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.120 wants to destroy America, you no longer need to serve 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.079 the American people. Amen. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.160 I agree with you there. I want to go back. 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.360 You talked about the Iran nuclear deal. You've been called 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.800 the Iran whisperer. You played a prominent role in the 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.560 decision to repeal that nuclear deal. But Americans can be 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.840 naive as to the dangers of other countries. Iran will 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.000 hang their own people in the streets if they disagree 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.680 with the regime. China has been accused of genocide of 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.960 the Wigers, also holding laborers as slaves and also many 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.640 other human rights offenses. North Korea is a starving country 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.520 run by a dictator consumed by his own quest to 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.960 become a nuclear power. And let's go to Russia for 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:50.360 a second, because Vladimir Putin doesn't even prosecute his political opponents, 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.920 he just kills them. We all remember Alexi Nelvanni who 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.320 was poisoned. We all remember Progosian who just a few 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.240 weeks ago his plane fell from the sky incidents. What 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.280 happens if these countries that are being called the new 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.960 Axis of evil align and how does your administration address this? 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.080 They are already aligning. So you can see the unification 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.760 of China and Russia. I mean, it's why I will 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.120 always say a win for Russia is a win for China. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.240 But you can see the unification of Russia and China. 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.920 They named Iran as their junior partner. And now you 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.600 see Russia really getting in close with North Korea. And 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.240 they're all aligned for one reason. They all hate America, 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.680 and so we have to focus on what it takes 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.440 to stop them. The first thing you have to look 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.160 at is when you look at this Russian Ukrainian war, 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.880 It's why it matters so much because if Ukraine wins, 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.840 it sends the biggest message to China on not to 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.720 invade Taiwan and lets them know that we're paying attention, 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.880 and so we have to focus on that war. Remember, 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.720 it is only three and a half percent of our 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:58.040 defense budget, you know, percentage of GDP eleven European countries 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.160 have spent more than America, and so that's a pretty 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.840 small price to pay and a pretty good return on 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.880 investment to prevent further war. 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.200 You've said you don't want to actually send cash to Ukraine. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.720 You said you want to send arms, you want to 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.080 protect them. The Biden administration right now is getting a 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.080 lot of heat over sending cash to Ukraine and leaving 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.000 Hawaii just kind of out there. People haven't even been 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.960 able to return to their homes. There's this sense in 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.880 the country, and I think some of this came from 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.480 the America first rhetoric that you are either for America 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.880 or you are for an America that looks outside of 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.120 the country as well. You've said that those things are 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.040 not mutually exclusive. To stay a leader in this world, 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.000 you have to be able to do both. So how 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.680 do you address Ukraine and how do you address Hawaii 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:44.520 at the same time. 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.000 You know, it's the same issue with the border. I mean, 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.200 any candidate that tells you have to choose between the 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.120 border and Ukraine, or that you have to choose between 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.760 Hawaii and Ukraine, they're just lying to you. I mean, 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.120 America can handle multiple things at the same time. First 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.760 of all, we should help the people of Hawaii. I mean, 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.320 what happened to them is horrific. What you've seen them 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:07.720 lose is awful, and and Americans should rally and we 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.080 should be there in support of them. When you look 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.800 at Ukraine, I honestly don't think we should ever give 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.480 cash to any country because I don't think we can 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.280 hold it accountable. We should always have durable things that 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.600 we can see that we can hold accountable so that 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.879 we know. So I don't think we should give cash 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.720 to Ukraine. I don't think we should put troops on 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.879 the ground, but I think we need to work with 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.879 our allies to make sure they have the equipment and 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.439 the ammunition to win. And the reason for that is 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.680 dictators always tell you what they're going to do. China 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.600 said they were going to take Hong Kong. They did. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.680 Russia said they were going to invade Ukraine. We watched them. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.720 China says Taiwan is next. We better believe them. Russia said, 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:51.000 after Ukraine, it's Poland in the Baltics. If that happens, 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.200 then we are all at war. That's what we're trying 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:58.560 to prevent. I am the spouse of a combat veteran. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.240 My husband is now currently deployed. The last thing any 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.760 military family wants is to see their loved ones have 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.280 to go fight a war. I am determined to prevent war. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.320 But the only way you prevent wars would strength. We 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.720 need to finish this. There is a reason that Taiwanese 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.640 are the biggest supporters of US and the Europeans sending 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:24.119 aid and equipment to Ukraine. It's because they know if 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.760 the Ukrainians win, China won't touch them. That's what we 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.960 have to remember, and so we need to start focusing 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.520 on doing multiple things at one time. National security should 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.800 always be the focus. We have to protect Americans, but 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.160 we can also do things like protecting the border, supporting 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.280 the people in Hawaii. If we want to talk about spending, 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.560 why don't we talk about the fact that Republicans and 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.800 Democrats are spending like drunken sailors. Why don't we talk 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.320 about the fact that we're now thirty two trillion dollars 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.280 in debt, We're having to borrow money just to make 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.720 our interest payments. Why don't we talk about the fact 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.399 that Republicans opened up earmarks for the first time in 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.240 ten years, when one in six American families can't pay 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.520 their utility bill and sixty percent of Americans are loving 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.119 paycheck to paycheck. So you know, a lot of what 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.400 you're going to hear other candidates say are scare tactics. 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.480 But the reality is a leader knows how to prioritize, 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.840 and a leader knows how to make sure that, yes, 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.439 Americans are taken care of first. But you always protect 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.680 the national security of America because we all just saw 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:30.960 again the evil that happened on nine to eleven. America 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:34.320 can never be so arrogant to think that that won't 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:34.960 happen again. 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:36.840 Well, when we've seen a lot of this you brought 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.080 up spending. We've seen a lot of the spending going 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.639 into these kind of pie in the sky ideas. We 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.720 see what's going on with even the Secretary of Energy 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.240 going on a road trip and realizing that she can't 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.560 charge her fleet in enough time to get to the 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.840 next place. I mean this idea that we can get 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.120 these charging systems up and we're paying everybody to buy 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.720 electric vehicles. The government can't buy an indus, but they're 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.840 certainly trying. Now. I want to talk a little bit 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.800 about Taiwan. You hit on that because we have a 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.879 source inside the military that tells us that Taiwan bought 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.280 and paid for jets from the United States. These jets 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:17.040 three years ago were never delivered during the Biden administration, 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.840
