Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central from New York City, the
Speaker 1: only city in America. It's the show that you news.
Speaker 1: It's The Daily Show with your host Charllamade that up. Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: welcome to the Daily Show. I'm your host, Charlamagne to God.
Speaker 1: What's happening? That's right? Uh, it's night three behind the
Speaker 1: desk and we're over halfway done with my week. So unfair. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: just when you start to get the hang of it,
Speaker 1: it's over. It's like being married to Kim Kardashian. But
Speaker 1: we've got a great show for you tonight. So let's
Speaker 1: get the headlines. Now, let's kick things off with some
Speaker 1: of the fallout from the war in Israel and Palestine. Obviously,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of terrible things happening in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: But what's crazy is that some Americans have responded to
Speaker 1: that by deciding that we need to make things bad
Speaker 1: overhead too. And of warning tonight from the FBI director
Speaker 1: about the rising anti Semitism and Islamophobia in the United States.
Speaker 1: I will say that this is a threat that is
Speaker 1: reaching in so many sort of historic levels. The Anti
Speaker 1: Defamation League reports since the war began, anti Semitic incidents
Speaker 1: in the US are up nearly four hundred percent from
Speaker 1: the same period last year.
Speaker 2: Muslim leaders are also reporting an uptake in hate crimes,
Speaker 2: with the Council on American Islamic Relations citing more than
Speaker 2: eight hundred complaints across the country since the beginning of October.
Speaker 1: Well saw that coming. We're so predictable with this bullshit,
Speaker 1: and it is bullshit. Okay, you know things are bad
Speaker 1: when anti semitism is up four hundred percent and Kanye
Speaker 1: hasn't even tweeted yet. I swear man. Sometimes I think
Speaker 1: Americas only read the news so they know who to
Speaker 1: hate on. All right, some people will hear about the
Speaker 1: warrants who Dan and think, well, I've never heard of
Speaker 1: this country before, but yeah, I could learn some new
Speaker 1: slurs America. We have got to stop hating people just
Speaker 1: because of their ethnicity or their religion and go back
Speaker 1: to hating them for the content of their character, like
Speaker 1: doctor King wanted. Hey, and there's so much actual shit
Speaker 1: to hate on in the world, like Macha? What is that?
Speaker 1: Why is it in everything? Now? Hating Jews? Is it
Speaker 1: gonna fix the Middle East? But hating Macha could result
Speaker 1: in some real change on Cafe menus. All right, Now,
Speaker 1: there's probably some people out there saying, well, I'm not Jewish,
Speaker 1: are Muslim, so this doesn't involve me. Maybe even some
Speaker 1: black folks out there saying, hey, at least for a
Speaker 1: few minutes, to hate isn't directed at us. US For once,
Speaker 1: I can finally get a weekend off, But that's not
Speaker 1: really the way it works. Once hatred is unleashed, best belief,
Speaker 1: it spreads to everyone because, unlike Mitch McConnell's brain, hate
Speaker 1: doesn't stop. Yeah, let's move on to sports. In the NBA,
Speaker 1: superstar James Harden has been traded from the Philadelphia seventy
Speaker 1: six ers to the Los Angeles Clippers, and I think
Speaker 1: it's a great trade because the Clippers need James Harden,
Speaker 1: and James Harden definitely needs some Clippers look at the
Speaker 1: bid man. As always, sports commentators have a lot of
Speaker 1: strong feelings about this trade, but maybe some of those
Speaker 1: feelings you shouldn't say all out.
Speaker 3: He talked about going to Houston to be the old
Speaker 3: James Harden because he thought that's what they needed.
Speaker 1: They didn't have anybody else when.
Speaker 3: He was talking, and he wanted but he's not going
Speaker 3: back to that is the man retarded, I mean, say,
Speaker 3: developmently disabled. Sure to think that he is going to
Speaker 3: go to the Clippers where they have Kawhi Leonard as
Speaker 3: the number one option, Paul George is the number two
Speaker 3: and still Russell Westbrook there. He didn't think that he's
Speaker 3: going to get twenty five times a listen.
Speaker 4: I didn't know what you were gonna say today. I'm shocked.
Speaker 1: This is not gonna work.
Speaker 3: Let me apologize for using that word.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Chris saw the tweets coming, didn't he? You
Speaker 1: see all high the other dude raised his eyebrow. Anytime,
Speaker 1: anytime an eyebrow goes that high, your ass is about
Speaker 1: to get canceled. All right, Look, Christ's getting a lot
Speaker 1: of heat online from saying what he said. But I
Speaker 1: think we need to have some grace for people using
Speaker 1: the wrong words. All right, Christmas saw it is fifty
Speaker 1: five years old. As a rule, anyone over the age
Speaker 1: of forty five should get a pass on word choices.
Speaker 1: A right. It's hard to break old habits. It was
Speaker 1: normal to say that word back in the nineties. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it makes it okay. I'm just saying there's
Speaker 1: a reason I still answer my phone sometimes and go.
Speaker 1: And now we know that language is hurt for the people,
Speaker 1: so we tried not to say it. But fun fact,
Speaker 1: the word retarded was originally the PC term. Yes, it's true.
Speaker 1: The official word used to be moron, but people started
Speaker 1: using that as an insult, so doctors changed it to
Speaker 1: retard it. Then that became an insult, and then the
Speaker 1: same thing happened with special So now they use development
Speaker 1: lead disabled. But guess what now kids call each other
Speaker 1: d D on the playground. Any new words you come
Speaker 1: up with is eventually going to be coming insult. So
Speaker 1: that's maybe that's what we should do. Maybe just say
Speaker 1: any word, but say it in the right tone and
Speaker 1: it sounds insulting. I'm glad they traded James Harden. He's
Speaker 1: acting like a goddamn baked potato. Yeah I said it
Speaker 1: with no topics. What I'm saying is, when it comes
Speaker 1: to keeping up with changes in language, we're always going
Speaker 1: to be a step too slow. I mean special, I
Speaker 1: mean developmently, you know what, Just move on, please come. Finally,
Speaker 1: let's talk about policing in America. By now, we're all
Speaker 1: used to stories about police misconduct, but not ones like this.
Speaker 2: New Tonight, deputies in Florida are on the hunt for
Speaker 2: the person behind the Booty Patrol. DeSoto County Sheriff's Office
Speaker 2: is hoping the public can help identify the driver of
Speaker 2: this white Chevy Silverado. Investigators say this person is impersonating
Speaker 2: law enforcement and pulling people over. The truck is equipped
Speaker 2: with red and blue lights and has the words Booty
Speaker 2: Patrol as you see on the side, the Booty Patrol.
Speaker 1: Now this is the Law and Order to spin off.
Speaker 1: I'd watch, all right. I like how the cops are
Speaker 1: asking for help finding the booty Patrol guy, like he's
Speaker 1: Batman or something like you. We don't know his true identity.
Speaker 1: All we know is when a girl walks in with
Speaker 1: a ittybitdy waste and a round thing in his face
Speaker 1: he gets from This is such a funny story, man,
Speaker 1: somehow it's still gonna end up with a I'm shooting somebody,
Speaker 1: but in toel it end, it's hilarious, all right. For
Speaker 1: more on this Booty Patrol story, we go live down
Speaker 1: to Florida with Delieli Dick Deviye Degie. This story is
Speaker 1: just hilarious myth.
Speaker 5: No, no, it's not Charlemagne. What this is is stolen valor.
Speaker 5: This is a slap in the face to the brave
Speaker 5: men and women of the real Booty Patrol who are
Speaker 5: out there in the streets every day keeping those booties
Speaker 5: as thick and juicy as possible.
Speaker 1: Hold on, I thought the booty Patrol was a joke.
Speaker 1: You're telling me it's real.
Speaker 5: Not only is it real, but you're talking to the
Speaker 5: proud daughter and niece a booty Patrollers. But I guess
Speaker 5: that's all a joke to you, Hans Charlemagne. You think
Speaker 5: it's funny that my dad spent countless nights protecting dumps
Speaker 5: like a truck truck truck. Is it funny to you
Speaker 5: that my uncle had to always be ready for that jelly?
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I mean it's not funny. I mean
Speaker 1: it's a little fun.
Speaker 5: Maybe to you, But it wasn't funny when my granddad
Speaker 5: lost his life in the line of booty.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5: My grandma always warned him that one day there'd be
Speaker 5: too much booty for one man to handle, and finally happened.
Speaker 5: I'll never forget the day that officer came to my
Speaker 5: grandma's porch and gave her this folded up pair of
Speaker 5: booty shorts. She just fell to the floor in tears.
Speaker 5: Then she bounced right back up because it had asked.
Speaker 1: You know, I've learned a lot of here today. I've
Speaker 1: learned a real valuable lesson. Don't mock something before you
Speaker 1: have all the facts.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, Charlemagne. And that doesn't just apply to
Speaker 5: the Booty Patrol. That goes for all the heroes who serve,
Speaker 5: the Federal Breast Inspectors, the DTS, the Secret Cervix, and
Speaker 5: of course, of course the Federal Erection Commission.
Speaker 4: They truly have the hardest job.
Speaker 1: This has been very eye opening, Daisy. I'm just surprised
Speaker 1: with your family's history with the booty Patrol that you
Speaker 1: never served.
Speaker 5: Oh oh, I did, but I was dishonorably discharged.
Speaker 4: For what a sexual harass.
Speaker 1: Jesus DeBie logic, everybody. When we come back, I'll be
Speaker 1: speaking to Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley. We don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Show. Earlier I had the
Speaker 1: opportunity to interview the former governor of my home state
Speaker 1: of South Carolina. She served as Trump's ambassador to the
Speaker 1: United Nations, and now she's a Republican candidate for president.
Speaker 1: Here's my conversation with Nikki Haley. How are you, Governor?
Speaker 4: I'm great, it's great to be with you.
Speaker 1: That's right. I got another South Carolinian, South Carolinian in
Speaker 1: the building. I want to ask you my first question,
Speaker 1: why doesn't the GOP just move away from Trump and
Speaker 1: get behind you.
Speaker 6: They will, They just need some time. They're getting there.
Speaker 6: I mean right now we're second, and I was second
Speaker 6: New Hampshire, second in South Carolina. I think the main
Speaker 6: thing is they know that they don't want a president
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris, and I think that they realize that they're
Speaker 6: going to have to have somebody else that can beat
Speaker 6: Joe Biden. And so you know, we're going to get there.
Speaker 6: It's slow and steady wins the race. And we've done that.
Speaker 6: We're touching as many hands as we can and answering
Speaker 6: every question, and at the end of the day, I
Speaker 6: think we'll finish this.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like any Republican candidate had the chance
Speaker 1: against Trump unless Trump goes to prison. So why are
Speaker 1: so many people running? Well?
Speaker 6: I you know, I think that they're running because everybody
Speaker 6: realizes that no one wants a Trump Biden rematch. I mean, look,
Speaker 6: we need a new generational leader. It is time to
Speaker 6: get rid of all the older people. I mean, you
Speaker 6: look at the Senate. It's the most privileged nursing home
Speaker 6: in the country. It is time for us to start
Speaker 6: getting some new generational people in there and let the
Speaker 6: old guys go to the wayside.
Speaker 1: Now I know y'all are friends, but isn't it time
Speaker 1: for people like Tim Scott to drop out? Aren't they
Speaker 1: just wasting time at this point? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to tell him that.
Speaker 1: I think I just did.
Speaker 6: I'll leave that to you. You know, I'm not going
Speaker 6: to be the one to tell him to get out.
Speaker 4: I'll leave that up to you.
Speaker 1: Mike Pitts just dropped out of the race, did you
Speaker 1: even though he was running.
Speaker 6: I did know he was running because when we do
Speaker 6: cattle calls, we get to see everybody.
Speaker 4: But yes, he's a good man.
Speaker 1: Now, what type of Republican do you consider yourself?
Speaker 6: You know, I don't live by labels and I don't
Speaker 6: like it, and I think that's what's wrong in the country.
Speaker 4: I mean, you hear it, y'all.
Speaker 6: Hear it on the Democrat side with progressives and you
Speaker 6: know when they talk about that, and we hear it
Speaker 6: on the Republican side where they say far right or whatever.
Speaker 6: You know, what I can tell you is I'm a mom,
Speaker 6: I'm the daughter of immigrant parents, I'm a military spouse.
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, I've been a governor
Speaker 6: and I've been a UN ambassador. I don't like labels.
Speaker 6: I think labels divide people. I think at the end
Speaker 6: of the day, we're all Americans and we need to
Speaker 6: start acting like it.
Speaker 1: There's a difference between like the MAGA Republicans and traditional
Speaker 1: conservatives though.
Speaker 6: Right well, I think what you saw with the MAGA
Speaker 6: crowd is and what Trump did well was he picked
Speaker 6: up a lot of people like where I was raised,
Speaker 6: rural South Carolina, that didn't feel heard or understood, and
Speaker 6: he made them feel listened to. And I think what
Speaker 6: I have said that the Republican Party has to do is.
Speaker 4: Look at the fact that we've lost the last seven.
Speaker 6: Out of eight popular votes for president. That's nothing to
Speaker 6: be proud of. We should want to win the majority
Speaker 6: of Americans. So Republicans have to start talking to They
Speaker 6: have to start talking to Hispanics, they have to start
Speaker 6: talking to Asians, they have to start talking to African Americans,
Speaker 6: they have to start talking to the younger generation.
Speaker 4: To women.
Speaker 6: You know, that's how we win. We should want to
Speaker 6: win the majority of people. And I think that that's
Speaker 6: where the Republicans have gone wrong. They decide who can
Speaker 6: be in their club. But I know that my parents
Speaker 6: were Democrats up until Reagan, not because they were actual Democrats,
Speaker 6: but because Republicans didn't talk to them. And so I've
Speaker 6: always thought we have to go out to people and
Speaker 6: talk to them, and you shouldn't say you should be
Speaker 6: with us. Instead we should be asking what do you
Speaker 6: care about? You know, they all want their children to
Speaker 6: have a better life. They all want a safe America
Speaker 6: that's strong abroad.
Speaker 4: They all want to know that.
Speaker 6: There are going to be more opportunities for their kids
Speaker 6: than they had, And I think that we can all
Speaker 6: agree on that.
Speaker 1: Did you see the new CNN poll that came out
Speaker 1: and said fifty three percent of likely South Carolina GOP
Speaker 1: primary voters support Trump for the twenty four nomination, But
Speaker 1: you're pulling at number two at twenty two percent. I
Speaker 1: wonder why having multiple indictments made Trump less popular with
Speaker 1: republic Looking primary voters.
Speaker 6: I think it really came from those first couple of
Speaker 6: New York indictments came across as very political, and so
Speaker 6: people didn't buy what Letitia James was doing and they
Speaker 6: felt like she was playing more politics than not. The
Speaker 6: rest of them have followed suit. The rest of them
Speaker 6: are obviously more serious, but I think that's what got
Speaker 6: everybody's back up. I mean, look, we're going to let
Speaker 6: this play out, and at the end of the day,
Speaker 6: what I think Republicans are going to look at is
Speaker 6: who's the best person to beat Joe Biden? And you know,
Speaker 6: you can look. CNN also came out with a pole
Speaker 6: that I'm the only one that beats him by six points.
Speaker 6: Then I think ABC came out with a poll I
Speaker 6: beat him by five points.
Speaker 4: Nobody else does that.
Speaker 6: And I think that that's because you know, we're not
Speaker 6: this is not rocket science. People are tired of working
Speaker 6: for government. They want government start to work for people again,
Speaker 6: and that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: I think that's why we're getting traction.
Speaker 6: You know, the numbers that they're showing in South Carolina
Speaker 6: are assuming that you have, you know, other people in
Speaker 6: the race. I think by the time we get to
Speaker 6: South Carolina, we're going to be head to head, and
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be a different story.
Speaker 1: Now. You keep mentioning Biden, but you got to get
Speaker 1: through Trump first, and you did rip Trump with the
Speaker 1: gopg with something you said he pursues chaos, vendettas and drama.
Speaker 6: Listen, you know I have told people it's you know,
Speaker 6: the pro Trump people are upset because they think I
Speaker 6: don't love him enough.
Speaker 4: The anti Trump.
Speaker 6: People are upset because they think I don't hate him enough.
Speaker 6: I call the chips like they are. I put it
Speaker 6: down where they may. There are many things I disagree
Speaker 6: with the president on. I think he allowed Republicans and
Speaker 6: Democrats to spend way too much. That's why we're in debt,
Speaker 6: and I think that our kids are never going to
Speaker 6: forgive us for it. I think that he is pulled
Speaker 6: back on a strong America that's safe, you know, that
Speaker 6: makes us safe abroad.
Speaker 4: And I think that he's pulled back on that.
Speaker 6: We see that with what he's doing with Ukraine and
Speaker 6: how he's pulling back on that. He thought January sixth
Speaker 6: was a beautiful day. I think January sixth was a
Speaker 6: terrible day. And so there's multiple things that we can
Speaker 6: talk about that I have differences. I just focus on
Speaker 6: the policy side. I don't focus on the personal side.
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you just said. But if he
Speaker 1: became the GOP nominee, would you still vote for him?
Speaker 6: Well, we all signed a pledge saying that we would
Speaker 6: vote for the nominee. And I've got to tell you
Speaker 6: that when I look at what's happened with Biden, and
Speaker 6: I look at an open border where we know all
Speaker 6: it takes is one terrace to get across to have
Speaker 6: another nine to eleven, where I see that we've had
Speaker 6: more fentanyel across the border last year that would kill
Speaker 6: every single American, and nothing's being done about it. I
Speaker 6: see that only twenty nine percent of our kids that
Speaker 6: are in eighth grade in America can read, and only
Speaker 6: twenty six percent of our eighth graders are proficient in math.
Speaker 6: That's a problem. I look at the debt. He continues
Speaker 6: to spend more. We can't keep living this way. We
Speaker 6: can't do that. And our enemies abroad look at Joe
Speaker 6: Biden and they see that he's not at the top
Speaker 6: of their game.
Speaker 4: So I'll tell you right now, at.
Speaker 6: This point, anybody would be better than Joe Biden, but
Speaker 6: it's going to be me, and I'm going to make
Speaker 6: sure that we go and do what we need you
Speaker 6: to get American families back on track again.
Speaker 1: You know, let's talk term limits because you said you
Speaker 1: suld term limits and I actually agree with you on that.
Speaker 1: Uh do you think that term limits should be measured
Speaker 1: in years? Are freezing episodes? I think you should get
Speaker 1: one freezing episode. You just want one freebie anymore? After
Speaker 1: that you've got to retire. What do you think.
Speaker 6: I think that we'd be kicking a lot of people
Speaker 6: out then right now, you know, I think that we
Speaker 6: have to have.
Speaker 4: Term limits and a lot. It's two reasons.
Speaker 6: One is, you know, I told you I think the
Speaker 6: it's the most privileged nursing home in the country. They
Speaker 6: stay too long, they get used to the power. But
Speaker 6: the other side of it is, when you run for office,
Speaker 6: you're as close to the people as it gets. You've listened,
Speaker 6: you know what people want, and you really know how
Speaker 6: to go in there and get things done. The longer
Speaker 6: you stay, the more you move away. From the people.
Speaker 6: And I think that's what's happened, is you look at
Speaker 6: what's happening in DC and they're so tone deaf. Both
Speaker 6: Republicans and Democrats don't understand the value of a taxpayer dollar.
Speaker 6: They don't understand that we've had serious issues with education.
Speaker 6: They don't understand the fact that crime is high and
Speaker 6: they're not doing anything about it. They don't understand that
Speaker 6: we've got threats facing us everywhere from terrorists, and they're
Speaker 6: continuing to talk about things that don't matter. And so, yeah,
Speaker 6: I think we need to have term limits because I
Speaker 6: think we have a lot of people in DC who
Speaker 6: have literally lost what the American people want, and I
Speaker 6: think that we need to start having that again. We
Speaker 6: had term limits when I ran for governor. You've got
Speaker 6: term limits for anyone that runs for president. That way,
Speaker 6: you go in there, you focus on the people, and
Speaker 6: you focus on your legacy, and I think that's important.
Speaker 1: You know, you're a relatively younger candidate, a woman of color,
Speaker 1: a child of immigrant parents, which on paper makes you
Speaker 1: more appealing to a lot of younger voters. But besides
Speaker 1: your identity, how do you plan to appeal to voters
Speaker 1: who are much further to the left of your platform.
Speaker 4: You know, we're doing that now.
Speaker 6: I've done over one hundred town halls in Iowa, New Hampshire.
Speaker 4: We're also doing them in South Carolina.
Speaker 6: We're going to do them around the country and we
Speaker 6: let them ask any question they want.
Speaker 4: We don't filter the questions.
Speaker 6: And so what I can tell you the younger general,
Speaker 6: they're different than my generation. They don't care about money
Speaker 6: as much as they do about really wanting to make
Speaker 6: a difference, really wanting to contribute to our country. They
Speaker 6: care more about the environment and they want to talk
Speaker 6: about that. They care more about making sure that they
Speaker 6: don't watch news because they don't. They think both sides
Speaker 6: are crazy, and I don't think they're wrong about that,
Speaker 6: And I think that the younger generation is going to
Speaker 6: be the group that saves us. They actually have a
Speaker 6: lot of good common sense. We have to start engaging them,
Speaker 6: We have to start bringing them in. You know, I
Speaker 6: look at my kids. They're twenty two and twenty five.
Speaker 6: They're very sober about what's happening in the country right now,
Speaker 6: and they really know that this is not how they
Speaker 6: want to live and that they deserve better, and so
Speaker 6: my job is going to be to engage them.
Speaker 4: We've got forty.
Speaker 6: Plus Haley campaign programs in campuses across the country. We've
Speaker 6: got Women for NICKI groups in every state in the country,
Speaker 6: and we are really appealing to everybody. Don't I want
Speaker 6: to just get a party. I don't want to just
Speaker 6: get a demographic. I really want to talk to everybody
Speaker 6: and let them know I'm going to work for them
Speaker 6: and I'm going to work hard to earn their support.
Speaker 1: I want you to engage young voters. I want you
Speaker 1: to earn their support. But are you willing to promise
Speaker 1: right now that you will not try to rap in
Speaker 1: order to do that?
Speaker 6: Can I just say this? I loved eminem and that
Speaker 6: song before then, and Ramaswami just ruined that for me.
Speaker 6: He ruined it like, no, I will never rap. You
Speaker 6: don't want me to rap. I've always said if you
Speaker 6: ever see me doing karaoke, you better take me home
Speaker 6: because something's really wrong.
Speaker 1: Absolutely yes. Now, why don't you play the identity politics
Speaker 1: game though, because that's something Democrats like to do. They
Speaker 1: always talk about how diverse they are. Why don't you
Speaker 1: get into the identity politics game and play up being
Speaker 1: Indian more because a lot of voters just think you're
Speaker 1: a white woman, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I have been.
Speaker 6: I grew up we were the only Indian family in
Speaker 6: a small rural southern town in South Carolina. We weren't
Speaker 6: white enough to be white, we weren't black enough to
Speaker 6: be black. And I remember when I would get teased
Speaker 6: on the playground and I would come home, my mom
Speaker 6: would always say, your job is not to show them
Speaker 6: how you're different. Your job is to show them how
Speaker 6: you're similar. And that lesson on the playground has played
Speaker 6: out throughout my life, whether it was in the corporate world,
Speaker 6: whether it was as governor, whether it was as ambassador.
Speaker 6: When you're faced with a challenge, if you first talk
Speaker 6: about the things you agree on, people let their guard down,
Speaker 6: and then you can talk about how you want to
Speaker 6: get to the solution. I think the problem is when
Speaker 6: you start labeling people, you're assuming that they're.
Speaker 4: Different than you.
Speaker 6: I don't want to just be a woman. I don't
Speaker 6: want to just be Indian. I don't want to just
Speaker 6: be a mom. I don't want to just be a Republican.
Speaker 6: I don't want to just be all of those things.
Speaker 6: I'm more than that, and I think every person is
Speaker 6: more than that. And what I know is, if you
Speaker 6: look across America, we agree on eighty percent of the things.
Speaker 6: It's the twenty percent we fight over. So why add
Speaker 6: more divisions by talking about labels. I don't want to
Speaker 6: talk about labels. I think that that's what's caused us
Speaker 6: to get into this situation where everybody.
Speaker 4: In this country is so divided.
Speaker 6: I want to talk more about what we can agree
Speaker 6: on and how we move forward as a country.
Speaker 1: Do you think you know being a woman will keep
Speaker 1: the GOP from fully supporting it. Do you think that
Speaker 1: the sexism in the GOP could get behind you?
Speaker 6: Well, you know, there's never been any lines to the
Speaker 6: women's bathroom in any of the jobs I've ever had.
Speaker 6: You know, when I defeated a thirty year incumbent when
Speaker 6: I ran for the state House seat, we were South
Speaker 6: Carolina was the lowest in the country on women elected officials.
Speaker 6: When I won governor, I was the first female, first
Speaker 6: minority governor in history, I mean of the entire country,
Speaker 6: much less South Carolina. When I was ambassador at the
Speaker 6: Security Council, I was the only woman there. I don't
Speaker 6: worry about being a woman at all. I mean I
Speaker 6: wear heels. It's not for a fashion statement. It's because
Speaker 6: if I get mad, you know, I'm ready.
Speaker 4: To kick any time.
Speaker 6: And I think that people have always respected me because
Speaker 6: they know I do my homework. They know I fight
Speaker 6: for what I believe in, and I tell the truth.
Speaker 6: I tell the hard truths, whether they want to hear
Speaker 6: it or not. And I think that's where I've always
Speaker 6: been different.
Speaker 1: I got a few more questions for you, as a
Speaker 1: former UN ambassador. When you see Palestine and Israel going
Speaker 1: at it, you know, you hear talks of Iran might
Speaker 1: get involved. You hear Russia and Hamas are growing close
Speaker 1: to China, might move on Taiwan. Biden says, the US
Speaker 1: of defending the Philippines against China. The Pentagon say they
Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon twenty four times stronger than what
Speaker 1: they dropped on Japan. China is building up into nuclear
Speaker 1: weapon arsenal. How close are we to World War three?
Speaker 1: Do you think.
Speaker 4: The world is on fire?
Speaker 6: And America better wake up because right now America is
Speaker 6: acting like it's September tenth, and we better remember what
Speaker 6: September twelfth felt like, because all it takes is one time.
Speaker 6: And what I will tell you is all of our
Speaker 6: enemies and I dealt with them every day for two years.
Speaker 6: When I was at the United Nations, every one of
Speaker 6: them is looking at Joe Biden and they know he's
Speaker 6: not at the top of his game. They see him
Speaker 6: freezing up, they see that he can't hear. They look
Speaker 6: at the fact that they see Donald Trump and they
Speaker 6: see all the chaos that comes with that, and they're
Speaker 6: just banking on us continuing down this path that is
Speaker 6: not good for us. We need to be strong, we
Speaker 6: need to be clear, and we need to do everything
Speaker 6: it takes to prevent war. A strong America doesn't start wars.
Speaker 6: A strong America prevents wars. Right now, our enemies don't
Speaker 6: fear us, and that's the problem. What we have to
Speaker 6: do is stop being reactionary and start letting other countries
Speaker 6: know what we expect of them. That's what I did
Speaker 6: at the United Nations. That's what I'll do as your president.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's potential for a nuclear war in
Speaker 1: our life? Uh?
Speaker 6: I think that we have to do everything we can
Speaker 6: to prevent it. You know, Charlomagne, my husband is in
Speaker 6: the military, he's deployed right now, and every military family
Speaker 6: knows that we can only stop a war that we
Speaker 6: can only they stop bad things from happening if we
Speaker 6: are strong, if you have a strong leader, if you
Speaker 6: have a strong military, and if you have people that
Speaker 6: support our country. And that's what we have to do.
Speaker 6: We have to remember what it means to be patriotic again.
Speaker 6: We have to support our men and women who are
Speaker 6: fighting overseas for us because they still think this country
Speaker 6: is worth fighting for. And we need a president that's
Speaker 6: not going to be scared of our enemies, but someone
Speaker 6: instead that's going to sit there and talk toe to
Speaker 6: toe with them and let them know what we expect
Speaker 6: of them. We should not assume a nuclear war is inevitable.
Speaker 6: We should work every day to make sure that they
Speaker 6: know that they don't ever want to test us on that,
Speaker 6: and that they'll be hell to pay if they ever
Speaker 6: try and do anything that's going to hurt one single American.
Speaker 1: You know you've been a staunch supporter of Israel. Israel's
Speaker 1: war against some moss has already killed over eight thousand
Speaker 1: guys of civilians, including over three thousand children. Is there
Speaker 1: anything Israel could ever do to lose your support.
Speaker 4: Look, there is no perfect out there.
Speaker 6: You know, there are a lot of things that countries
Speaker 6: could do to lose my support. But let's look at
Speaker 6: the situation, and this is the hard truth that we
Speaker 6: need to look at. First of all, what happened on
Speaker 6: October seventh in Israel was horrific. I mean the fact
Speaker 6: that bodies were burned, babies were beheaded, girls were raped,
Speaker 6: and never forget that when they were dragging those naked
Speaker 6: girls through the streets of Gaza, what were they saying.
Speaker 6: They were saying death to Israel, but they were also
Speaker 6: saying death to America.
Speaker 4: This is a ran. This is what Aron wants to do.
Speaker 6: What we're seeing all of these people who do feel
Speaker 6: sympathetic to the Palestinians. I understand when they talk about occupation.
Speaker 6: Yes there is occupation in Kaza. Yes there has been
Speaker 6: occupation for a long time. But the misconception in all
Speaker 6: of this is the occupation is not from israelis There's
Speaker 6: not a single Israeli person in Gaza. There's not a
Speaker 6: single Jewish person in Gaza. Hamas is the one that
Speaker 6: has occupied. Hamas is the one that won't let the
Speaker 6: Palestinians out. Hamas is the one that has treated them
Speaker 6: so brutally and not allowed them to have the things
Speaker 6: that they should have. Hamas is the one that uses
Speaker 6: them as human shields so that women and children get killed.
Speaker 6: I've been on the border there, I've seen it. It's
Speaker 6: not that Israel's perfect, It's that Hamas is evil, and
Speaker 6: we have to see evil for what it is. And yes,
Speaker 6: if we want the Palestinians to have a better life,
Speaker 6: and I do want the Palestinians to have a better life,
Speaker 6: the way we do that is we eliminate Hamas so
Speaker 6: that they no longer have to live the way Hamas
Speaker 6: is making them live.
Speaker 1: Right now, can you eliminate Hamas without eliminating all the
Speaker 1: Palestinian citizens, our large majority of them.
Speaker 6: I know that we have hostages there. We've lost thirty
Speaker 6: three Americans died. This is going to be surgical precision.
Speaker 6: Lives are going to be lost. But right now they
Speaker 6: are taking out Hamas leaders, which is what they need
Speaker 6: to do. But I've been in those tunnels Charlemagne. They
Speaker 6: are very sophisticated, and what Hamas has done is those tunnels.
Speaker 6: They put them under schools, they put under hospitals. They
Speaker 6: put them under civilian sites because they know Israeli's value
Speaker 6: human life. Hamas does not value human life. This is
Speaker 6: going to be messy, This is going to be hard,
Speaker 6: but we need to remember Hamas has said death to America.
Speaker 6: Once they're done with Israel, Iran's going to make sure
Speaker 6: they do it here. And that's why we've got to
Speaker 6: secure the border and we've got to make sure that
Speaker 6: we never let those threats come on American soil.
Speaker 1: I want to bring it back to South Carolina from
Speaker 1: my last couple of questions. When you were governor, you
Speaker 1: actually remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State Capitol.
Speaker 1: Is there a room in the Republican Party for that flag?
Speaker 1: And where's that room? So I can stay out of it?
Speaker 6: You know, I think you should be very proud of
Speaker 6: your home state. The people of South Carolina stepped up
Speaker 6: at a time that they needed to. We lost nine
Speaker 6: amazing souls. And what I will tell you is this
Speaker 6: was on the heels of George, on the heels of Ferguson,
Speaker 6: and in South Carolina, we didn't have riots, we had vigils,
Speaker 6: we didn't have protests, hugs and that Confederate flag came
Speaker 6: down and went to a museum where it belonged. And
Speaker 6: what we said is if people want to fly the
Speaker 6: Confederate flag, they can fly on their private property, but
Speaker 6: they cannot fly it in a place that represents all
Speaker 6: South Carolinians. And I am incredibly proud of the people
Speaker 6: of South Carolina, and I hope you are too.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, how much credit do you take for the Confederate
Speaker 1: flag coming down after the tragic murders of the EMMANUELA.
Speaker 6: I don't think we should ever talk about credit because
Speaker 6: I think the point that I tried to do was
Speaker 6: I tried not to judge either side, and I tried
Speaker 6: to get them to see the best of themselves and
Speaker 6: go forward. I think if they're going to give credit,
Speaker 6: give it to the people of South Carolina.
Speaker 4: They could have stopped this.
Speaker 6: It took two thirds vote in the House and two
Speaker 6: thirds vote in the Senate.
Speaker 4: It was a brutal task that we had.
Speaker 6: To undergo, but the people of South Carolina stepped up.
Speaker 6: I want them to be the ones that get the credit,
Speaker 6: because at the end of the day, they could have
Speaker 6: stopped it and they didn't, and South Carolina is better
Speaker 6: for it.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about it. Another South Carolinian
Speaker 1: DNC chair Jamie Harrison, He recently called you a Maga
Speaker 1: minion and said that you were dangerous, out of touch
Speaker 1: and a Maga extremist governor who was a complete disaster
Speaker 1: for South Carolina. He said, Nikki, maybe singing a different
Speaker 1: song now, but don't be fool when it comes to
Speaker 1: the issues. She is just as extreme as the rest
Speaker 1: of the Magafield and the good people of South Carolina
Speaker 1: have had enough. Will you ever drink sweet tea with
Speaker 1: Jamie Harrison again?
Speaker 6: Bless his heart? What I'll do is I'll pray for him.
Speaker 6: How about that?
Speaker 1: That is a good shot kne to answer. That means
Speaker 1: f him. By the way, when you tell somebody you're
Speaker 1: gonna pray for him in and Carolina, that means you Jamie.
Speaker 6: And you know when you say bless your heart, that's
Speaker 6: a nice way of kicking with a.
Speaker 1: Smile at Uh. My last question, are you wearing higher
Speaker 1: heels than Ron Desantez next week at the debate so
Speaker 1: you can look taller than him on the stage. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 4: We'll have to We'll have to figure that out.
Speaker 6: I can tell you I've always talked about my high heels.
Speaker 6: I've never, you know, hid that from anybody. I've always said,
Speaker 6: don't wear them if you can't run at them. So
Speaker 6: we'll see if he can run at them.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Governor Nikki Haley, y'all, NICKI, you hope to see
Speaker 1: you in studio whenever you come to New York, whether
Speaker 1: it's the Breakfast Club or a Daily Show.
Speaker 6: Charyl Man, keep kicking it. South Carolina is proud of you.
Speaker 6: I'm proud of you. Keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Good job, Thank you. We're going to take a quick break,
Speaker 1: but we'll be right back after this. That's our show
