The next candidate in my series has cemented their reputation for fighting for America first policies on the world stage.
00:00:07.940
They're considered hard line on foreign policy, especially as it relates to what they refer to as the new axis of evil.
00:00:18.360
Their solutions on how to deal with Russia's invasion of Ukraine has garnered accusations of warmongering and neocon labels.
00:00:27.640
I'm going to give them an opportunity to respond to this.
00:00:31.000
In February, they announced their candidacy to the surprise of very few.
00:00:36.180
As governor of South Carolina, their policies and demeanor drew praise from both sides and eventually earned them a position as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President Trump.
00:00:49.060
This is the second presidential candidate I've interviewed in this series.
00:00:56.440
There is no agenda except to ask fair, vital questions that you would ask.
00:01:03.600
Our guest on the Glenn Beck podcast, Nikki Haley.
00:01:11.040
And if you're like me, when you have to spend that money, you prefer to spend it on the things that are made right here in America.
00:01:16.780
It's not only the patriotic thing to do, which is losing popularity now.
00:01:21.980
And traditionally, the things that have been made here in America last longer, work better, and set the standard for the rest of the world.
00:01:30.120
That's one of the reasons I love partnering with companies like Grip6.
00:01:34.120
With Grip6, you're getting the true American experience products that you can count on.
00:01:39.980
When you buy their socks, for instance, you're supporting American ranchers who specially raise these sheep that are bred to produce modern wool.
00:01:49.040
The American manufacturer that washes the wool, processes it, and then weaves it into socks that keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
00:02:05.800
And it's a high risk that comes along with using America-only made products with American labor.
00:02:18.820
Put your trust in hard-earned money in a company that does it right, right here in America.
00:02:45.080
So let me just start with some of the news of today.
00:03:09.560
Even Democrats know this is a political agenda.
00:03:12.960
I mean, I think that this is, it's kind of like par for the course.
00:03:16.740
I mean, New York would be better off if they prosecuted violent crimes than to sit there
00:03:21.900
So, I mean, we don't know what's going to happen.
00:03:24.080
It's still kind of up in the air, but I hope nothing happens.
00:03:32.100
It's political revenge, and they're never going to let it go when it comes to him, ever.
00:03:38.200
I just, you know, I watched this when I was in the administration.
00:03:45.120
It's just when you've got such a hate and such a, I don't know, political, just agenda against
00:04:06.740
But either way, they're never going to let him go.
00:04:09.460
It's a lot of the reason why I think the country's got to move forward is because this is just
00:04:16.840
And if it happens, you know, I hope that, you know, at least the Dems step up and say,
00:04:20.980
look, this is crazy that, you know, you're sitting there treating this like a felony.
00:04:32.260
I know Mike Lee said to me when everybody was saying, lock Hillary up, which I was for,
00:04:38.540
if you've done the crime, you should do the time.
00:04:46.480
And he said, if if there is a crime and it's clear, political world will say, oh, we're
00:04:55.260
And he said, you'll just start putting people in jail.
00:04:58.540
And he said, once you do that, he says, why Nixon didn't go to jail.
00:05:04.280
He said, once you do that, you're a banana republic.
00:05:09.380
I mean, once that precedent's been set, there's no turning back.
00:05:13.640
And, you know, on one side, Glenn, I've said this to you before.
00:05:20.080
They just kind of let things happen and they let this creep happen.
00:05:23.620
But see, I don't think that's I don't know if that's entirely true, because I'm tired
00:05:38.300
I don't think they're protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States.
00:05:45.480
I mean, I think one, they're not they're not tough enough on protecting our freedoms.
00:05:51.260
They've lost all fiscal responsibility when it comes to the situation that we're in right
00:05:57.280
They're getting weak in the knees when it comes to our enemies.
00:06:00.800
And look, I mean, I think we have to remember what is the number one rule of government to
00:06:08.360
It was never meant to be all things to all people.
00:06:12.880
You know, everybody wants to blame Biden for the thirty one trillion dollars of debt that
00:06:23.940
Let's not forget that two point two trillion dollar covid stimulus.
00:06:29.180
That it was voted four hundred nineteen to six in the House, ninety six to zero in the Senate,
00:06:34.960
no accountability whatsoever, expanded welfare.
00:06:38.580
We now have 90 million people on Medicaid, 42 million people on food stamps.
00:06:44.520
And so the answer to that is after you've flushed all this money and caused inflation and the
00:06:53.100
Republicans open back up earmarks for the first time in 10 years.
00:06:56.860
Seven thousand earmarks were proposed and proposed in December.
00:07:08.340
These are the same things we've been saying for a very long time.
00:07:14.880
We started something great during the Tea Party.
00:07:18.060
You know, we we brought attention to it, but we didn't finish it.
00:07:21.560
You know, you when you go and you see this, I think, you know, you had Republicans say, oh,
00:07:40.800
And that was the bear we were fighting in the very beginning was D.C.
00:07:44.180
I mean, there were at least two federal bailouts that I declined as governor.
00:07:50.060
I didn't want them in my state because when you take that federal money, you get all those
00:07:54.440
And I didn't want to do that to the people of South Carolina.
00:07:57.140
And we have to remember, we've allowed the federal government to become so big that now
00:08:07.620
It's not just about the fiscal irresponsibility, but it's the mission creep into socialism.
00:08:13.620
This socialist track that we're watching happen.
00:08:16.340
I mean, that is not what Republicans are supposed to be thinking about.
00:08:21.940
And you've got Republicans now wanting to do this socialism light.
00:08:25.920
That's incredibly dangerous because when you go into socialism light, then they're just
00:08:30.460
going to say, well, why don't we just do the full socialism?
00:08:37.920
And I don't think we have been for a while now, at least a couple of years with the latest
00:09:00.940
You have this flush of cash that Republicans and Democrats did.
00:09:04.380
You have the feds who were just late to the game because they were saying it was transitory.
00:09:11.040
You've got this bank that buys short and invests long.
00:09:19.380
The feds saw that they didn't have enough cash to be able to hold their commitments.
00:09:24.740
And the San Francisco fed was in charge of this, right?
00:09:31.520
And then it turns out that the SVB CEO sat on the San Francisco fed.
00:09:41.460
Instead, Janet Yellen's trying to make everybody whole.
00:09:44.820
And now she's going and saying that small banks, all depositors of small banks will be made whole.
00:10:00.120
But first of all, can we at least say that a lot of those depositors with a lot of money were Chinese companies?
00:10:08.780
You're really going to go and make those Chinese depositors whole?
00:10:18.820
These were not loans they could get at any other bank.
00:10:27.920
Well, you know, when it comes to where is everyone,
00:10:31.260
I think the left has done a very good job of scaring the hell out of your average Republican.
00:10:38.500
You know, Donald Trump asked for people to march in the street.
00:10:46.640
And it's not because they don't support him or you don't feel you should.
00:10:53.680
I don't trust that there's not crazies in the crowd that are on the right.
00:10:58.080
I don't trust that there's not crazies in the crowd that are from the left posing as the right.
00:11:03.740
You can't protest right now or this government will make the process the punishment.
00:11:16.260
And it's but now in this time, and it's why we have to get our country to snap out of it.
00:11:26.100
We need to really look back and, you know, think about when we were growing up and life was simple.
00:11:32.100
And you focused on your faith, you focused on your community, you focused on your family and your country, and life wasn't complicated.
00:11:41.460
Then all of a sudden, it just all of these things started to take over and they just wanted government to fix it all.
00:11:49.760
And that's where things messed up is when they decided the federal government knew more than the states did.
00:11:55.060
And then all of a sudden, it was, well, we can tell you better than you can tell yourself.
00:12:00.200
We just need to go back to what our individual freedoms were.
00:12:03.200
We need to go back to economic freedom, remembering that capitalism lifted up more people than anyone in history, remembering that our freedoms were something we prized and held dear.
00:12:14.880
The problem is we have, well, let's stay on economics here for just a second, then we can go into corruption.
00:12:21.120
The banking is, I mean, I wouldn't put you in this situation, but I'm going to say it.
00:12:35.120
And if it collapses in a global sort of way, the West is down.
00:12:51.120
And the Fed is introducing FedNow, which is a quick way.
00:12:56.960
And you can make all your payments online with the Fed.
00:13:01.020
The next thing is the Fed coin to reset the currency.
00:13:05.840
I don't know how people don't see that, but that can't happen.
00:13:11.720
And then they're going to want to watch what you spend and how you spend.
00:13:16.200
It's programmable so they can control what you spend, where you spend, and what you buy.
00:13:24.000
I mean, we see they're now going after credit card charges when you buy guns.
00:13:28.800
And so, I mean, look, I refuse to say this is going down.
00:14:01.100
I'm not sure that America has hit its rock bottom.
00:14:04.840
Because at its rock bottom, you go, okay, whatever I'm doing, I got to do something else.
00:14:12.500
But, Glenn, is rock bottom not being $31 trillion in debt, knowing that literally your debt is bigger than your economy?
00:14:21.260
Is rock bottom not the fact that our kids no longer are learning the basics in school, but you're allowing boys to be in girls' locker rooms?
00:14:29.000
And you're allowing 90% of our kids to be on a critical race theory?
00:14:33.460
Is rock bottom the fact that we're getting dirty oil from Venezuela and going hat in hand to Saudi Arabia?
00:14:39.520
Is rock bottom not that criminals are running free on the streets because prosecutors won't prosecute them?
00:14:45.140
And you've got an open border where last month alone there were 16 terrorists that we happened to catch?
00:14:50.960
I mean, rock bottom is the fact that Americans looked to the sky and saw a Chinese spy balloon?
00:14:58.220
But what I will tell you is every American has a decision to make.
00:15:04.500
Our kids don't deserve to live like this right now.
00:15:18.940
Saying hard truths to Republicans on what their role was in.
00:15:22.180
Saying hard truths to the feds that know this was never transitory.
00:15:25.940
And when you flush cash, the feds should have said you can't do this because inflation is going to go up.
00:15:30.920
Say hard truths on where we need to go as a country.
00:15:33.780
So how do you, I mean, I was going to say, look what the fed did to Ronald Reagan when he said, we're going this way.
00:15:51.480
How do you go to Washington with a pack of Republicans that like Mitch McConnell that are like, yeah.
00:15:59.420
And and and say, I demand discipline on the federal budget.
00:16:07.780
I I'm going to clean up the Justice Department.
00:16:18.100
And the reason I say that is because when I went into South Carolina.
00:16:23.040
And I went in completely ready to clean things up.
00:16:30.640
The first thing I did is we went into every single agency.
00:16:33.940
I put people at the heads of agency that knew their number one job was to clean house.
00:16:38.360
You clean out all the people that are weighing us down, that are causing regulations, that are causing red tape.
00:16:45.080
And I gave them three issues that they had to deal with, that they had to report to me every 60 to 90 days on where they were.
00:16:51.400
And every one of them was moving the ball in the direction of their consumer, which was the taxpayer.
00:16:59.520
I called out Republicans that we had a Republican House and a Republican Senate.
00:17:08.720
And yes, I came out with a report card that listed every single person and what they were voting for and what they were against.
00:17:15.900
And I gave it to all of the taxpayers in South Carolina because I wanted them to see it didn't matter about party to me.
00:17:21.720
It mattered about whether they were working for the taxpayer or not.
00:17:25.400
And what I got was an army of citizens that knew whenever the legislature was doing something, I let them know.
00:17:32.500
And they were the ones that solved the problem, not me, but they joined me and made sure that we called them out.
00:17:38.800
It's going to take work, but we need to at least try and do this.
00:17:43.020
Don't you already have enough to worry about with adding something crazy like all of a sudden losing your house one day?
00:17:48.780
You know, you pay your taxes, you keep your clothes on in public, you're an upstanding citizen.
00:17:55.240
Can I really can somebody watch some stuff for me, please?
00:17:59.000
But you could be vulnerable to America's fastest growing cyber crimes.
00:18:04.380
It is called home title theft and cyber thieves can literally take your home title, take ownership of your house.
00:18:11.140
This is one of the people that used to do this.
00:18:13.060
Nobody thinks that I can take their house and borrow against the house.
00:18:18.600
No, it's in my name or he would have to get some special document.
00:18:22.220
They would call me, you know, what he's calling you?
00:18:25.380
After I've stolen the title, borrowed against it or sold the property or done whatever I've done with it,
00:18:30.120
it's 60 to 90 days even figure out that they're the victim of this crime.
00:18:33.840
You know, by that point, you start getting foreclosure notices and you realize you've got four mortgages on your house.
00:18:39.580
Not only that, you don't even own your home anymore.
00:18:47.620
If you register your address, you'll get a no obligation home title report.
00:19:02.440
I mean, are there any federal agencies that you would just shut down?
00:19:05.920
I think the first thing is go back and look at it.
00:19:08.780
Remember, government breaks more than it fixes.
00:19:11.860
So we should have as much happening at the state level as possible.
00:19:22.400
I want every governor to be able to control the education that's happening in their state.
00:19:29.040
I think we go and we look at all the agencies and say, are they effective anymore?
00:19:33.960
I remember there was one health and environmental control agency that I had in South Carolina.
00:19:38.220
I mean, we pretty much gutted it and started over.
00:19:44.780
But you don't just keep something just because.
00:19:48.560
The intelligence agencies, no one trusts them right now.
00:19:52.600
I mean, and look at the things that have happened under their watch.
00:19:57.820
They didn't tell us about, you know, where were they on the Chinese spy balloon?
00:20:06.000
Like, so you do have to go back and like really go to the core of this and say, what's happening there?
00:20:15.180
We have to go back and say, there's a reason things happen better at the states.
00:20:19.540
I say that one is a former governor, but it's because it's as close to the people as it gets.
00:20:24.260
And let the people, when it comes to health care, that should be done more at the state level.
00:20:29.300
The issues we have in South Carolina are very different than the issues they have in California.
00:20:35.280
So what you do is you move more to states' rights.
00:20:38.600
Not just get rid of an agency because that's not going to happen.
00:20:43.760
But you go into the agency and you say, how much are we going to move out?
00:20:50.260
And that's what I think we need to do in agencies.
00:20:51.640
Well, the argument has been that the Congress has to pass a law so you can fire.
00:20:56.900
And the question is, I'm sorry, is the administrator, you, the President of the United States, are those your employees?
00:21:11.160
Because if they belong to Congress, then they should be pushed over to Congress.
00:21:16.100
If they're administration, then those people work for you and you should be able to fire them.
00:21:22.040
And I don't mind if people want to work in government, but they shouldn't stay in the same position longer than five years.
00:21:29.860
When I was at the U.N., my first week or two weeks, someone got on the phone with all the NGOs basically saying what my plan was going to be.
00:21:41.100
It wasn't anything I had ever said, done anything.
00:21:44.340
And I said, who is this person that is out there talking for me?
00:21:48.520
And they came back and they said, it's John Kerry's sister.
00:21:51.400
I said, John Kerry's sister works at the U.S. Mission of the United Nations.
00:22:05.720
And she didn't because she was doing more harm than good.
00:22:08.780
And I know that when I went and wanted to give my first speech at the U.N., it was actually going against Russia for what their invasion was in Ukraine.
00:22:16.640
And the State Department contacted me and said, you can't say the speech because I sent it to them before.
00:22:23.180
I said, if there's anything that's not factual, tell me.
00:22:26.900
They said, no, but you can't say the speech like this.
00:22:30.960
I said, look, you can change my you can say that my facts are right or wrong.
00:22:35.700
You can't tell me how to say a speech or what to say.
00:22:40.800
You've got these little fiefdoms in government where they want to control and they love to just live out all the other elected officials and they just stay.
00:22:52.100
It happens in state governments and it happens in federal government.
00:22:56.140
And the other place you really need to look is in those congressional committees where they come up with the legislation, where they go and they push their senators or house members to to do things.
00:23:05.660
A lot of them are liberal Democrats or power hungry staffers that are trying to control what happens.
00:23:12.380
I don't think anybody writes those bills that that actually work in the Capitol.
00:23:17.220
I think those bills are written by the special interest groups.
00:23:20.360
And you're you're probably right on most of those.
00:23:23.640
Let me let me let me since we were on the UN, you know, the world situation.
00:23:39.760
I don't know if you remember, but I got a lot of heat back in, you know, 2008, 2010 for saying there's going to come a time when the Islamists, the socialists, the the anarchists.
00:23:53.420
The anarchists, they're all going to they're all going to dogpile on us.
00:23:57.920
They'll work together to destroy us in the Western world.
00:24:05.100
They're all going to see the opportunity and go, my gosh, they're so weak.
00:24:12.020
I was listening to you on the radio back then and had just finished your book Common Sense when that happened.
00:24:17.000
What is happening now is dictators wait for weakness.
00:24:24.440
The problem with China is they were very patient in waiting for the weakness and they pulled it a little bit at a time and we gave it to them on a silver platter.
00:24:34.360
And you had Republican and Democrat presidents thought for the longest time, if we were nice to China, they would want to be like us.
00:24:45.120
And so now you've got a situation where, I mean, look at their military.
00:24:51.480
They have the largest naval fleet in the world.
00:24:57.260
They just came out with the fifth generation fighter jet.
00:25:07.000
They just negotiated this deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
00:25:18.200
And the U.S. was nowhere to be found or even considered in that process.
00:25:23.820
And no one should underestimate what just happened there.
00:25:26.560
Then you go and you look at the fact they're now standing holding hands with Russia.
00:25:30.560
When President Xi said that Russia was their unlimited partner.
00:25:36.580
The one thing I learned at the U.N., pay attention to their words because they actually tell you exactly what they're doing.
00:25:43.880
And to see what they're doing now, the axis of evil is China and Russia and their junior partner is Iran.
00:25:55.380
Well, we allowed them to buy 385,000 acres of U.S. soil.
00:25:59.960
And it just happened to be near Grand Forks Air Force Base where our most sensitive drone technology is.
00:26:07.980
Do you think if the U.S. had put a balloon over China that they would have just watched it?
00:26:12.360
It didn't go over South Carolina because they love our beaches.
00:26:15.360
It was because our military installations were there.
00:26:17.400
I am so sick and tired of hearing people say that they couldn't control that.
00:26:23.060
That went specifically over our most sensitive missile sites and strategic air command.
00:26:37.660
The problem is why are we being so naive about all of this?
00:26:47.600
Or does our administration have a different plan?
00:26:50.600
And in the case of China, are they on the payroll of China?
00:27:08.120
And when America's distracted, the world is less safe.
00:27:11.760
Hong Kong fell because we were distracted with COVID.
00:27:33.400
And watch what they say and watch what they do.
00:27:44.820
Why do you think that they're dealing with that?
00:27:47.480
America needs to realize this isn't air, land, and sea anymore.
00:27:52.340
This is air, land, sea, artificial intelligence, cyber.
00:27:58.580
We've got to understand we're dealing with a different type of enemy.
00:28:01.780
And that different type of enemy is very focused.
00:28:05.920
And the United States needs to be just as focused.
00:28:08.240
Because when we lead and when they know we're on to them, that's when enemies retreat.
00:28:13.920
But when we just allow it to happen, they're going to run as fast as they can to get as much as they can.
00:28:23.020
A, I'm not, and I think a lot of conservatives are no longer into this nation-building stuff.
00:28:38.260
It has led to all of the worst things in the 20th century.
00:28:43.200
World War I, I could make a case that the United States and Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations led us into World War II.
00:28:57.240
But that said, I just know we don't have the money anymore.
00:29:14.320
Not because of our military, but because our president is incompetent.
00:29:30.860
You and I both know that is one of the most, if not the most corrupt country in the world.
00:29:36.480
I'll bet you 30 cents on the dollar is actually making it someplace that is helpful to them.
00:29:44.000
We are putting ourselves in the position of Brezhnev going to Vietnam and standing in Vietnam and saying, you know what?
00:30:03.600
Well, gee, I think America would have reacted to that and said, this isn't about Vietnam.
00:30:19.860
And you don't have the American people behind this.
00:30:23.720
So let me tell you, this is the way I see it and having dealt with them.
00:30:29.080
I disagree on a certain avenue that you're going.
00:30:33.660
First, because I'm assuming you're saying we should not be in Ukraine, that we should not be helping Ukraine.
00:30:54.100
We don't have a plan except, oh, here are the coordinates you should send those missiles to.
00:31:11.800
Let me tell you where I think we are and where we should be.
00:31:14.460
OK, because I do agree with you on some parts of it.
00:31:17.900
So this war between Russia and Ukraine is not about Ukraine.
00:31:30.900
You should never send money to a country, period.
00:31:33.240
I don't agree in sending money because you can't watch it once it gets there.
00:31:39.360
I don't want to send American troops on the ground there.
00:31:41.720
But I do think we need to work with our allies and make sure they have the equipment and the ammunition to win.
00:31:50.040
When you look at what the Ukrainians are doing, they're trying to save their country.
00:31:55.080
And here these men went and they went to the front lines.
00:32:05.820
And where they lost 27% of their country, now they're down to 15% of their country.
00:32:11.420
The reason this matters, there is nothing President Xi would love more than to see Russia win this.
00:32:18.320
Because they would know that Taiwan could be next.
00:32:21.000
What we need to do is make sure if Ukraine wins, this sends a message to China with Taiwan.
00:32:31.760
If Ukraine loses, believe dictators when they tell you, Russia has said Poland and the Baltics are next.
00:32:46.320
The key in this is understand how badly Xi wants this with Putin.
00:32:56.200
There is a reason that Russia shot down that drone.
00:32:59.520
You've got to look at it from that axis of evil.
00:33:02.740
And what got us in this situation with China is everybody saying, leave China alone.
00:33:10.460
And all of a sudden, we're dealing with a mess.
00:33:16.180
It shows how, I mean, how far Ukraine has come.
00:33:18.940
Russia's hit rock bottom because they're getting drones from Iran and missiles from North Korea.
00:33:27.980
They gave these guys off the street shovels to fight.
00:33:37.960
Because he's not sure that Putin can win because Putin's losing.
00:33:42.020
Putin would have lost faster if Putin would have...
00:33:52.760
Well, I mean, if somebody came and took Texas, would you be okay with that?
00:34:00.840
If Russia leaves Ukraine, this whole war is over.
00:34:04.460
If Ukraine retreats, Russia moves on to Poland and the Baltics.
00:34:21.620
So, let's say you're the President of the United States in 2025.
00:34:43.760
I see the weakness and I'm like, you want Taiwan?
00:34:54.980
There is such a thing as strategizing on timing and say, you know what?
00:35:01.720
Pull back because we are out of control right now.
00:35:06.540
We have screwed up everything we touch in the last three years.
00:35:16.940
You know, we bungled that up worse than anything.
00:35:28.120
There hasn't been one thing this administration has done that works in America's favor.
00:35:33.200
But Glenn, don't assume that we can't balance multiple balls at one time.
00:35:40.520
You've got the weakest president we've ever had.
00:35:42.760
You've got the most socialist president we've ever had.
00:35:45.500
Do you know what has happened when Russia shot down a drone, a U.S. drone?
00:35:55.460
When that drone came down, we should have put two drones up there with a fighter jet.
00:35:59.340
We should have put the naval fleet in the Black Sea.
00:36:15.600
I don't see a way that this doesn't end horribly for us in the next two years.
00:36:27.500
Especially if, you just said it, President Xi is going to take Taiwan.
00:36:34.320
We're fooling ourselves if we think we can really, at this point, really take them on
00:36:43.220
with their force and be in meddling with Ukraine and everything else.
00:36:54.660
Now, if you were in, Donald Trump was in, I were in, they wouldn't do it because we'd
00:37:03.980
all have a twitchy eye and like, I don't really care.
00:37:18.260
But don't think for a second getting weak in the knees on Russia is going to help you
00:37:23.260
China actually getting weak in the knees in Russia is showing China exactly what they
00:37:30.100
That's at least China has watched everything the world has done when it comes to Russia.
00:37:35.020
They've paid attention to every company that pulled out of Russia.
00:37:37.700
They paid attention to every country that has helped Ukraine.
00:37:41.240
They've paid attention to what ammunition we're using and how we're doing it.
00:37:48.100
We need to make sure that we're dealing with this in a very strong way.
00:37:52.100
But it's like I said, I don't want any money going to Ukraine.
00:37:57.920
Why Biden's not with our allies saying, you do this, you do this, you do this.
00:38:02.600
I mean, Saudi Arabia just gave money to Ukraine because they're trying to keep them.
00:38:06.800
What I'm saying is deterrence around the world to our enemies always matters.
00:38:20.320
Listen, if you're suffering from daily pain, I get it.
00:38:24.260
I know it is hard to get up in the morning and all you think of is I got it.
00:38:37.320
I could not do this without real pain just a few years ago.
00:38:41.600
And then I started taking Relief Factor, by the way, if you happen to be listening, I'm opening and closing my hands.
00:38:48.480
I couldn't hold a pencil in my hand without it cramping up within like a minute.
00:39:15.620
That's relieffactor.com or call 800, the number 4-RELIEF.
00:39:34.460
Because he has said, and I believe dictators too.
00:39:37.320
99, I said, Obama or Osama bin Laden will blow up.
00:39:41.880
There'll be bodies and buildings in the streets of New York because he said it.
00:39:47.700
I take people who say I'm going to kill you seriously.
00:39:51.820
He has said that this is not about Ukraine anymore.
00:39:57.960
This is about America trying to topple Russia itself.
00:40:19.800
I mean, Putin will go and make this all about victimhood all the time.
00:40:26.880
But when you said, take people seriously, he is seriously saying that.
00:40:33.140
He knows that if he uses nuclear weapons, that he will be destroyed.
00:40:57.060
It's all the more reason why we just have to be firm in understanding that axis of evil
00:41:04.360
So, before we get off this, tell me what the next president has to do, day one,
00:41:14.260
to restore our allies back to our allies, Saudi Arabia is in bed with Iran.
00:41:32.820
Israel is even saying none of the people are to talk to American ambassadors, not know.
00:41:40.360
There's no formal relations here until this president speaks to me, Benjamin Netanyahu, face
00:41:54.220
Day one, you go in and you tell countries what they expect of you.
00:41:57.760
You tell them what the U.S. is for and what the U.S. is against.
00:42:02.280
I told them what we were for, what we were against.
00:42:04.460
I didn't care if they didn't like me, but I wanted them to respect America.
00:42:13.040
A lot of times, it's just saying what you're going to do and standing by it.
00:42:18.660
You know, think about what Obama did with Crimea to start with.
00:42:26.380
When they know, it's amazing the one thing I said, which I didn't even really think it
00:42:32.200
The second I walked into the U.N. and I said, I want you to know, for everybody that has
00:42:39.280
And for anyone that doesn't, we're going to be taking names.
00:42:46.460
And I want to say this, because part of the strategy of what you do and what I would stop
00:42:52.020
on day one, last year, we gave $46 billion in foreign aid.
00:43:04.260
The second column was the percentage of times they voted with the U.S. and against the U.S.
00:43:09.040
And the third column was the amount of foreign aid we were giving them.
00:43:11.980
I took it to President Trump and I said, the days of buying friends needs to be over.
00:43:17.680
The days of paying off enemies needs to be over.
00:43:19.980
Glenn, of the $46 billion last year, we gave money to Pakistan.
00:43:24.480
They used to harbor terrorists that killed our soldiers.
00:43:27.680
We gave money to Iraq, who's holding hands with Iran that says death to America.
00:43:32.000
We gave money to Zimbabwe, the most anti-American African country there is.
00:43:36.820
We gave money to communist Cuba that we named a state sponsor of terrorism.
00:43:46.500
Stop giving money to countries that hate America.
00:43:59.460
They are now, at this point, all indications are they can make a bomb.
00:44:16.840
But now Israel has another enemy to worry about, and that is Saudi Arabia.
00:44:29.680
Here's one thing I want you to kind of hit on is, it's like members of the State Department.
00:44:37.940
If I'm Iran, I'm like, she's going to be gone four years, eight tops.
00:44:45.240
Because we're taking such radical swings back and forth.
00:44:53.160
So I so agree with the problem that the main thing we need to do, the main thing the next
00:44:58.980
president needs to do is not do things for four or eight years.
00:45:02.860
You've really got to set the tone for 20, 30, 40 years out.
00:45:06.900
You've got to create a vision, a long-term vision for our role in the world, for our role
00:45:12.500
economically, for our kids and how they're going to be.
00:45:14.760
We need to change with the times and have that vision.
00:45:17.900
Iran right now is sitting pretty, and they know it.
00:45:21.080
You know, when we got out of the Iran deal, one of the things that hurt them the most is
00:45:25.200
we put sanctions on them that were so tough, they couldn't do anything.
00:45:30.440
But then Biden went, started lifting those sanctions, and then China knew it was safe
00:45:35.920
And then Russia started partnering in, and then they created this thing where they just
00:45:41.780
It wasn't wrong that we got out of the Iran deal.
00:45:46.760
It was wrong that you loosened things up when you got out of the Iran deal.
00:46:07.100
We're not just talking about the president and Congress.
00:46:09.700
We're talking about the competency of the Pentagon and the agenda of the State Department.
00:46:19.380
This is an all-government approach to take our energy sector apart.
00:46:31.660
If you had a coal-fired plant through the Inflation Reduction Act, we will pay your profits as a company
00:46:39.040
100% for the next 10 years, but only if you decommission that plant and sell it for scrap or destroy it.
00:46:51.520
I mean, you can't look at our energy policy as it stands right now and find any common sense in it whatsoever.
00:46:59.560
I mean, we should want to make sure that we are always watching out for the national security interests of this country.
00:47:06.320
And the best way you do that is you make sure that you are not dependent on anyone or anything for your energy needs.
00:47:15.440
I mean, that is what a president should do, is only focus on the national security lens.
00:47:22.300
We should be just like with our energy and making sure that we aren't dependent on Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, any of those.
00:47:28.780
But the same thing is when you look at the country as a whole, if China does something tomorrow, are we ready?
00:47:37.600
When COVID hit, they told you to put on a mask.
00:47:42.920
Walk down your medicine aisles, all made in China.
00:47:50.000
And if we can't make them, we need to get with an ally and assume that China pulls the rug out from under us tomorrow.
00:47:58.780
These are things you always pay attention to the national security interests.
00:48:02.480
I don't care if people buy T-shirts and light bulbs from China any more than I care if China buys agricultural products from our farmers.
00:48:08.660
But when it comes to a national security situation, we need to be focused on that from energy to economics to having a strong dollar to making sure that our education to our technology to artificial intelligence to cyber.
00:48:27.160
We are already having a shortage of basic antibiotics.
00:48:43.360
We've already got a shortage of cancer drugs right now.
00:48:58.540
They did quantitative, what do they call it, not easing, but the other way, where they're trying to raise the interest rates and get that down so they can.
00:49:08.000
OK, everything they've done with all the damage that they've done, their books, they've just taken all that debt right back.
00:49:17.120
So, everything they've done, it just went right back up.
00:49:31.700
And our Fed swears that they're not working on a digital currency.
00:49:38.160
But, next month, FedNow, look it up, go to FedNow.org, I think, and you can see what the Fed's been working on.
00:49:47.740
It's a new system where all your payments can be made fast through the Fed.
00:49:54.240
They say this is a challenge and an alternative to a federal central bank coin.
00:50:06.680
But, where do you stand on digital currency and the Federal Reserve?
00:50:11.980
I mean, I don't think that they need to be controlling it.
00:50:16.180
Why are we going to turn around and have them control that?
00:50:18.560
And, not only that, what are they going to do when they control it?
00:50:22.740
I mean, we talked about it earlier, the surveillance side.
00:50:25.340
Are you going to suddenly say, well, we're not going to do those transactions anymore?
00:50:30.840
Or are you just going to watch what we purchase?
00:50:38.460
It is a programmable coin, which will be made for you.
00:50:43.560
And so, it will tell you what you can buy and what you can't buy.
00:50:47.920
You should be very suspicious of anything government does.
00:50:52.480
It's just because you've got bureaucrats behind it that are power hungry.
00:50:59.980
They want to create different things, and they want to control it.
00:51:03.280
But the last thing we need to do is look at anything the Fed wants to do and feel good about it.
00:51:09.120
I think they need to fix what they've got now because they've got their hands full.
00:51:12.560
So, let's look at this world of the Fed, the banks, and energy and rights, ESG.
00:51:26.280
I mean, it's just, it's another political game.
00:51:29.080
It's a political distraction that is going to the heart of everything we do.
00:51:33.960
It's ludicrous that you're telling people that before we can invest your retirement money, we've got to see what the ESG part of it is.
00:51:45.320
So, what happens, because Europe is ahead of us, and the way ESG is supposed to work is, as if this makes sense, if I'm a company and you're a supplier, okay, I have an ESG score of 80.
00:52:02.240
I can't buy any supplies from you unless you have a score of 80.
00:52:09.000
If you have a lower score, I have to find someone else or encourage you to get your ESG score up.
00:52:18.320
Any company that is doing, I think it's $10 or $100 million worth of business in Europe, if your company is based here, you cannot do business over in Europe unless your score on the European scale.
00:52:40.140
So, all of the laws from Europe, even if we kill it here, all of the laws from Europe apply to our biggest companies.
00:52:51.900
We don't want to follow Europe when it comes to that.
00:52:54.740
Look, I mean, the whole point is America needs to figure out how to be sustainable.
00:52:58.980
And we don't go and do that by regulations from other countries.
00:53:04.840
We don't do it by putting heavy regulations on our own businesses.
00:53:08.660
If you take care of your businesses, the economy flourishes.
00:53:13.880
We don't need to weigh them down with ESG protocols.
00:53:20.400
But the last thing you want to do is put more regulations on our businesses.
00:53:23.800
We're in the worst economy we've had in a long time.
00:53:33.160
You know, when I was governor, we focused on getting regulations off.
00:53:37.280
We focused on, I told all my agencies, if businesses have cash, they don't go on vacation.
00:53:51.620
And government should just sit back and thank them.
00:53:59.300
Yeah, you go and you punish that when that happens.
00:54:06.660
But who do you run to when the police, the government, are corrupt?
00:54:16.020
You need somebody that's going to go clean house.
00:54:20.800
And I know it can be done because we did it in South Carolina.
00:54:23.740
What I don't want Americans to think is this is a foregone conclusion that we're just too lost to be fixed.
00:54:31.440
The only thing that's too lost to be fixed is when people, when Americans give up.
00:54:50.860
I think this is one of the things that Donald Trump has brought to the table.
00:54:55.400
is you could agree or disagree, but you feel he is in it for you.
00:55:08.740
But he he he's like they're coming for me and you.
00:55:14.560
And that's important because people, at least on the right, have are pretty done with the party labels and all of that.
00:55:25.660
They know the Constitution is hanging by a thread.
00:55:33.240
Who is going to stand up, not just for the people, but constitutionally stand up and clean this mess up?
00:55:43.440
Well, government was intended to serve the people, not the other way around.
00:55:49.500
And so you've got to go change the culture back of the role of government.
00:55:53.480
That means calling out Congress every time they want to start a new program.
00:55:57.280
That means going to the agencies every time they want to bloat and tell them we want to see how you're going to cut.
00:56:02.700
That goes back to the states and giving governors as much control and allowing their people to decide things as they can.
00:56:13.380
You've got to declutter your house and in our house, our government house is really cluttered.
00:56:19.160
We've got a lot of decluttering to do, but you start somewhere.
00:56:23.380
You start somewhere and the people will be with us when we do this.
00:56:29.220
They right now feel like they're working to give money to the government that's not doing anything for them.
00:56:34.960
And we have to go and change that government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people.
00:56:40.200
I will say it over and over and it was never meant to be all things to all people.
00:56:43.660
And right now it's even trying to be parents in schools like we have to stop that.
00:56:50.700
It's just assuming something that is so anti-American that no, you don't have it right.
00:57:01.440
It's they haven't been right on one damn thing in the last 10 years.
00:57:12.620
Did health care costs go down or did they go up?
00:57:21.860
Because all the experts said what that guy was doing was wrong.
00:57:25.240
What you were doing at the U.N. would get us all killed.
00:57:33.220
We are living Woodrow Wilson's administrative state.
00:57:37.840
And I don't think these experts have any credibility at all.
00:57:42.380
The elitist mentality is demeaning and judgmental.
00:57:45.860
And they want to tell you, you don't know how to parent, will parent your kids in schools.
00:57:51.360
You don't know how to pick the school for your children because you don't have a high school education or you don't have a college education.
00:58:01.280
We will tell you all of the things that have happened in the past five years should be the wake up call that we need.
00:58:07.240
Because our kids have suffered, our families have suffered, our economy has suffered, where we stand in the world has suffered, all because we allowed elitists and bureaucrats to tell us what to do.
00:58:21.500
So Fauci, I think, lied to us about the origins.
00:58:28.880
I mean, he was paying for that research at Wuhan.
00:58:50.400
I, first of all, think that COVID came from a lab.
00:58:57.580
But I think China didn't want to be the only country embarrassed.
00:59:03.060
They closed their border to keep anyone from coming in, but they opened their border to let everybody go out.
00:59:10.140
They immediately went to the World Health Organization and said, condemn the United States for closing their border.
00:59:21.220
I mean, God help us if we were going and investing in that lab.
00:59:32.040
Why do you give money to countries that hate America?
00:59:34.260
Because this is the same thing we do when it comes to torture.
00:59:43.000
You know, we're not going to do gain-of-function research, but we'll pay for it being done in China.
00:59:51.640
That's why I said stop all of this foreign money that's going out unless it's a win-win.
00:59:58.000
I don't know about you, but I just love to sweat.
01:00:08.680
I was at a concert the other day, and I saw two friends.
01:00:12.440
They're both conductors, and they were conducting this 400-voice choir in a full symphony orchestra.
01:00:18.640
And one of them was playing the piano like crazy.
01:00:32.300
Nobody wants to say that, but that's the way I am.
01:00:40.180
They have wipes, I kid you not, that will prevent you from sweating for days after you've used them.
01:00:47.400
I use them all the time, especially down here in the flaming hot.
01:00:51.500
I mean, it's like the surface of the sun living in Texas.
01:01:00.820
All you have to do is just wipe under each arm like once a week, and it's done.
01:01:15.760
Let me take you to the World Health Organization.
01:01:25.980
I mean, I think when you talk about holding China accountable for COVID, you go and you need to tear up the World Health Organization because they are as responsible as China is for doing that.
01:01:36.280
You had, I mean, here they knew that this virus had leaked.
01:01:45.220
They did nothing about it over and over and over again until they went to China to meet with President Xi and get their marching orders, and then they came back.
01:01:55.620
The number of days of people who died because of that, and yet the UN has never had a hearing on it, the other countries haven't gone and said anything about it.
01:02:18.220
From the second that happened, there should have been no question about dropping out of it because they were totally playing China's game.
01:02:28.020
The UN, I mean, as America gets weaker, you see how much we have helped the world stay stable.
01:02:40.860
Why are we still a member of the UN and paying them?
01:02:49.660
After being there a couple of years, I can tell you the intent was good.
01:02:54.100
They thought if they put 193 countries in a room in the name of peace that all good things would happen.
01:03:03.200
The only reason that the U.S. stays in it is because they have one of five vetoes.
01:03:07.720
And they can stop China and they can stop Russia and Iran from doing bad things.
01:03:15.820
And I don't think we should be giving near the amount of money we're giving.
01:03:19.420
I mean, I think we should totally gut what we're giving.
01:03:22.080
Because China's being treated as a developing country.
01:03:33.720
So, why keep paying if we know that they're bought and paid for by China and by others?
01:03:47.120
So, let's kind of talk about the hopefully non-spoken deal that we've made with Mexico and the drug cartels and the human traffickers.
01:04:02.560
Because we, I'm beginning, I said to my wife last night, I've read the book of Revelation.
01:04:11.580
Everybody always says, how come America's not in it?
01:04:16.560
I think we are going so dark, so fast, that if we don't turn it around, we may be the Babylon.
01:04:23.320
We may be the great whore of the earth that had everything and we hoard it all out for money.
01:04:29.040
Well, first, let me say what we should be doing with the border, which is I do think we should put up the wall.
01:04:39.140
But more importantly, I think we do what I did in South Carolina, which is an Arizona-style mandatory e-verify program,
01:04:46.340
which basically I told South Carolina businesses, you cannot hire anybody in this country illegally.
01:04:51.820
So, they all left because they couldn't get jobs.
01:04:54.760
We need to do that all across the country is have that mandatory e-verify program.
01:04:58.540
And when the Mexican president says, oh, you should take care of your own people, you know, you can't do anything with the cartels,
01:05:04.820
my answer would be either you deal with it or I deal with it, but one of us is going to deal with it.
01:05:09.800
What does that mean, you deal with the cartels?
01:05:12.420
I mean, we go in and we use our special, we treat it like ISIS.
01:05:17.100
You go and you put special operations, you use cyber, you use your intelligence, and you make sure that you stop this flow.
01:05:23.200
So, we have had more people die from fentanyl and opioids, more than the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars combined.
01:05:41.260
The cartels are making it and spreading it all over America.
01:05:48.460
We've got the special operations to identify each and every one of them, just like we did with ISIS, and go and stop all of that.
01:05:55.800
We don't wait on the Mexican president to tell us that.
01:06:03.980
Number one cause of death between ages of 18 to 49 is fentanyl and opioids.
01:06:12.400
Let me, do you think Texas has it right when they say the government is not protecting the border, and so the Constitution gives us the right to protect it ourself?
01:06:27.580
I, look, as, if I were governor of Texas, you do whatever it takes to protect your people.
01:06:39.620
If the feds won't do their job, then you take it into your own hands and you take care of it.
01:06:45.200
Last question is, I think that GOP is so bifurcated now.
01:06:54.640
And there's, you know, the old kind of John McCain, Mitch McConnell thing.
01:07:05.440
There is the new kind of, I would say it's more founders, but it's a little scary because it's like, I don't want any government.
01:07:17.620
Um, and, and then there's everything kind of in between and you're a tea party person, but you also, I mean, the left calls you a neocon.
01:07:31.840
Um, so tell me who you are, how, what, who are you most like?
01:07:44.400
I mean, the thing is, you know, they, many have said, oh, she's a warmonger.
01:07:56.180
So, you know, I mean, people have always tried to label, I'm a conservative.
01:08:02.960
I'm still that same person that thinks that government's too big, that spending's too much, and that we owe it to our kids to pay down this debt and give them an opportunity to live better.
01:08:13.880
I mean, the reason that I'm running right now is my parents came here 50 years ago to a country that was strong and proud and full of opportunities.
01:08:24.660
I want to do this to prove to them that they made a good decision.
01:08:28.300
I'm doing this for my husband and his military brothers and sisters because I want them to know their sacrifice meant something, that we do value our freedoms, that we do value our country.
01:08:38.120
I'm doing this for my kids because my daughter, she's getting married in a few weeks, and I see her and her fiance struggling to buy a home.
01:08:45.680
My son is in college, and I see him writing papers he doesn't believe in just to get an A.
01:08:50.920
I'm doing this because I think that America's falling into this socialist defeatism that is killing us.
01:09:03.240
But I will say this, and I've said this to everybody, don't complain about what we have in a general if you don't play in this primary.
01:09:11.140
This is about truly going back to the soul of America and making sure that we bring her back to life because we've lost her.
01:09:23.380
And it's going to take work, and it's going to take every single American saying, stop this political bickering.
01:09:30.760
I don't care what you want to label me, stop it.
01:09:33.300
I am an American-loving patriot that believes that my children deserve better.
01:09:39.160
We have 50% of Americans today, Glenn, that say they don't think their kids are going to live as good of a life as them.
01:09:48.880
As a parent, I need to know that my kids have a better country than what I had.
01:10:00.880
I'm going to fight for that because they deserve it.
01:10:05.300
American families deserve to know what it's like to have that stability again and that safety again and that freedom again and not be clouded by all this political gamesmanship and revengism and all of these things that are just ridiculous.
