CHARLESTON, S.C. – Following an energetic New Hampshire swing with Governor Chris Sununu, Nikki Haley joined Sean Hannity tonight to discuss Joe Biden's failures on the world stage and what America can do to regain its strength.
On Joe Biden's weakness on the world stage...
"This is why none of our enemies fear us. It's because they see exactly what Biden does. He did this with Ukraine, now he's doing it with Israel. Either you're a friend or you're not. And why are you taking the side of Hamas as opposed to Israel? If you say you're going to be with Israel and support Israel, then do that. But you don't start drawing conditions on what they can and can't do. This was a country that fell to her knees with the worst attack since the Holocaust. And now they're trying to eliminate Hamas, the ones that did this, which by the way should be personal for America, because 33 Americans were butchered on that day. We've got American hostages. Let them finish the job. Let them finish Hamas once and for all. Stop telling them what they can and can't do."
On what America can do to stop Iran...
"Iran decided years ago and they've been very good at it, at using their proxies rather than doing things themselves. There would be no Houthis without Iran. There would not be Hamas without Iran. There would not be Hezbollah without Iran. So they're using their proxies to do their dirty work. But if we really want to do something, why doesn't Joe Biden go back and put the sanctions down on Iran that were already there? Why are you letting billions of dollars flow to Iran from China, who's importing all of their oil? Why are you continuing to talk about an Iran deal, when all that does is show weakness? And why not go after those in Syria and Iraq that continue to hit our military men and women? Hit their infrastructure in Syria and Iraq, give them one big punch and they will step back. But right now, they don't fear us."
On defunding the UN...
"It's the reason that we got out of the Paris Climate Agreement when I was at the UN. It's the reason we got out of the Human Rights Council. It's the reason we stopped any taxpayer dollars going to the Palestinian Refugee Organization. We absolutely should get out of the World Health Organization and anything that the UN is doing, look at how they failed at looking at the human rights abuses of what happened to the women on October 7. They're nowhere to be found. They continue to show themselves to be a farce. We should defund the UN as much as possible, and let them know that until they start to become legitimate, we're not going to sit there and put any more money into it. Because right now what's happening is China's winning with these organizations, Russia's winning with these organizations, and no one is putting a stop to what they're doing. It's because they smell weakness, it's because they smell blood. America has lost its footing—we can get it back."
