Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) admitted she was &#8220;not that informed on national security&#8221; during a debate against Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) on Tuesday, one week before the two face off in a Republican runoff for the Senate seat previously held by her late brother, Lindsey Graham.
Graham, who was appointed to fill her brother&#8217;s seat after his death last month, made the admission when asked whether Taiwan and the South China Sea are national security issues for the United States.
“I’m just going to be honest here, I’m not that informed on national security,” she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYbTRsRnT6U">said</a>.
Former South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley criticized the remark.
“Lindsey Graham was well informed on the United States’ national security. Graham admits she’s not,&#8221; Haley said. &#8220;This is not something you inherit. And it’s critical in the U.S. Senate.”
Graham has previously outlined the differences between herself and her brother on foreign policy, saying in a July interview <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lindsey-grahams-sister-breaks-from-one-of-his-defining-priorities">that</a> she preferred to focus on issues that matter to “the average person.”
Norman, who is facing Graham in the August 25 runoff, told The Daily Wire that China poses a threat to the United States and argued that South Carolina voters should expect their next senator to understand the issue.
“Whether it’s spy balloons flying overhead or buying up land near South Carolina military bases, China continues to prove that it is a threat to the United States. South Carolinians deserve to know whether their next Senator has the know-how to lead on this issue.”
Graham also appeared to badly overstate South Carolina&#8217;s population during the debate while discussing affordability.
“There’s fifty million people in South Carolina, half of them live paycheck to paycheck,&#8221; Graham said.
South Carolina has roughly 5.5 million residents.
President Donald Trump is expected to campaign for Graham on Friday at a rally in Myrtle Beach ahead of the runoff.
Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIsQ4MT4F2k">told</a> reporters he likes everyone in the race, but endorsed Graham in honor of her brother.
“Just so you understand, I like the other people in the race. Also, they’re all Trumpers, but I endorsed her,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I think she’s great. It’s really in honor of her brother.”
“She’s really a very smart woman,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;You know, Lindsey loved his sister more than anything else he would tell me about his sister. That she’s just outstanding. He actually said she is better than him. That was hard for Lindsey to say.”
Prediction market Kalshi has Graham’s odds of winning at <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxscrsens/south-carolina-special-republican-primary/kxscrsens-26">77%,</a> down from around 90% before the debate.
The winner of the Republican runoff will face Democratic nominee Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, in the general election.

Former President Donald Trump’s record and stated policies make him “clearly the better choice” this election, according to former UN ambassador Nikki Haley.
Haley made her closing pitch for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/trump-isnt-perfect-but-hes-the-better-choice-says-nikki-haley-presidential-election-b343f6ab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">op-ed</a> in The Wall Street Journal published on Sunday. Haley unsuccessfully challenged Trump for the Republican nomination this cycle and was a vocal critic of him on the Right, but described her endorsement of Trump an “easy call.”
“I don’t agree with Mr. Trump 100% of the time. But I do agree with him most of the time, and I disagree with Ms. Harris nearly all the time,” she wrote.
Voters need to consider their welfare under Trump versus four years of the Biden-Harris administration, according to Haley.
She mentioned the cost of living, the national debt, and national security, pointing out that each issue fared worse under the Biden-Harris administration than under Trump.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
A second Trump term “wouldn’t be perfect,” Haley conceded, “[b]ut I agree with Mr. Trump that we need to keep taxes low and cut them more. I agree that we need to roll back trillions of dollars in special-interest handouts. I agree that we need to expand American energy to empower our families and job creators while making us less dependent on foreign energy.”
Haley said that the question that voters should think about is not whether they agree with Trump on every issue.
“No politician gets everything right,” she said. “For those of us clear-eyed enough to see Mr. Trump’s flaws and honest enough to acknowledge them, the question is whether we’re better off with his policies or his opponent’s. On taxes, spending, inflation, immigration, energy and national security, the candidates are miles apart. And Mr. Trump is clearly the better choice.”
Haley endorsed Trump in a speech at the Republican National Convention in July, smoothing over the rift that had developed between the two during a bruising Republican primary. Haley previously served in Trump’s administration as the ambassador to the United Nations but fell out with the former president, criticizing him over his actions on January 6, 2021.

Billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-cuban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Cuban</a> painted himself into a corner during a Thursday morning appearance on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; and his attempt to escape only made things worse.
Cuban, in an effort to portray former President Donald Trump as weak and insecure, instead managed to insult all the women who had ever worked closely with or appeared alongside Trump when he claimed that the former president never surrounded himself with &#8220;strong, intelligent women.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/run-with-this-kamala-mouthpiece-mark-cuban-dragged-for-saying-only-stupid-women-like-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">backlash was swift</a>, prompting Cuban to &#8220;clarify&#8221; his statement — claiming that he only meant Trump didn&#8217;t allow &#8220;strong, independent women&#8221; to be around him when he might be &#8220;challenged publicly&#8221; — just hours later.
&#8220;Let’s clarify something. This is what I said during a conversation about why Nikki Haley was not active in his campaign,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desperate-kellyanne-conway-rebukes-mark-cuban-for-suggesting-trump-avoids-strong-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cuban</a> posted his explanation via X. &#8220;&#8216;Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work.'&#8221;
&#8220;I’m happy to clarify that 1. I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump. Including in my extended family. I’m certainly not saying female voters are not smart, strong and intelligent. 2. I know he has worked with strong intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others[.] I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly,&#8221; Cuban continued.

Former U.N. Ambassador <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nikki-haley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a> slammed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz this week over his performance during the vice presidential debate against Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).
Haley made the remarks on her SiriusXM show &#8220;Nikki Haley Live&#8221; while analyzing Tuesday night&#8217;s debate on CBS News.
&#8220;Under Walz, Minnesota has been one of the few states to raise taxes, even having an $18 billion budget surplus. $18 billion budget surplus, and he raised taxes anyway,&#8221; Haley said. &#8220;Minnesota has the fifth highest top income tax rate in the country &#8212; 9.85%. Imagine paying 10% on your income. As a member of Congress, he voted against the 2017 tax cuts. Remember we talked that if those tax cuts expire, 62% of Americans are going to see their taxes go up.&#8221;
&#8220;On illegal immigration, not only has he allowed illegal immigrants to come into his state, he has allowed them to have driver&#8217;s licenses,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;He&#8217;s allowed them to have health insurance. He&#8217;s allowed them to get free college, all on the taxpayer&#8217;s dime.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s subsidized electric vehicles,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He has no statutory limits on abortion at any stage of pregnancy. We know regardless of what side of that debate you&#8217;re on, abortion up until the time of birth is something that most Americans can&#8217;t stomach. He passed a law that gets in the middle of family decisions when it comes to kids and transgender issues. That&#8217;s interesting for a guy that says, &#8216;Mind your own damn business.'&#8221;
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
She said the thing that freaked her out the most about Walz was when he said: &#8220;One person&#8217;s socialism is another person&#8217;s neighborliness.&#8221;
&#8220;That is the one that sends the chill up your spine,&#8221; Haley said. &#8220;Minnesota&#8217;s losing residents at a record pace, ranked sixth highest in America for a families moving out. You look at the George Floyd riots; we all saw the buildings burning. What is interesting is the mayor of Minneapolis called Walz and Walz declined his request to call in the National Guard.&#8221;
She later added that Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; decision to pick Walz was a damning indictment of her.
&#8220;We are seeing a Kamala Harris that is basically saying, &#8216;Fake it until you make it,'&#8221; she said. &#8220;And so she&#8217;s faking all her stances and doing 180s on all of them until the election. But the one decision she made was Tim Walz.&#8221;

Called “Nikki Haley Live,” the show will start airing on SiriusXM Triumph channel 111 on September 25 and will run at least through the presidential inauguration in January 2025. “Each week Haley will analyze and simplify the week’s most significant headlines – including the upcoming election, hotspots around the world, U.S. policy, and even some music and entertainment – offering her insights and engaging in conversations with key figures,” SiriusXM stated.
“The American people are smart,” Haley declared. “They’re sick of distractions in DC and noise from the mainstream media. They want to know what the issues are and how the solutions will impact them. I’m excited to partner with SiriusXM on a show that breaks down the policies and empowers them with the facts.”

After challenging former President Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, Haley <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v723pOifNks">endorsed him</a> at the Republican National Convention in July. She made an attempt to bring Americans who had disagreements with Trump to vote for him, stating:
<blockquote>
For the sake of our nation, we have to go with Donald Trump. &#8230; We should acknowledge that there are some Americans who don’t agree with Donald Trump 100% of the time. I happen to know some of them, and I want to speak to them tonight. My message to them is simple. You don’t have to agree with Trump 100% of the time to vote for him. Take it from me. I haven’t always agreed with President Trump, but we agree more often than we disagree.
We agree on keeping America strong. We agree on keeping America safe. And we agree that Democrats have moved so far to the left that they’re putting our freedoms in danger. I’m here tonight because we have a country to save, and a unified Republican Party is essential for saving her.
</blockquote>
Then she segued to Trump’s record:
<blockquote>
For those who have some doubts about President Trump, I want to tell you a few things about the commander in chief I know and worked with. As ambassador to the United Nations, I had a front row seat to his national security policies. We sure could use those again.
Think about it. When Barack Obama was president, Vladimir Putin invaded Crimea. With Joe Biden as president, Putin invaded all of Ukraine. But when Donald Trump was President, Putin did nothing. No invasions, no invasions, no wars. That was no accident. Putin didn’t attack Ukraine because he knew Donald Trump was tough. A strong president doesn’t start wars. A strong president prevents wars. Then look at the Middle East. Every problem in that part of the world can be laid at the feet of Iran. The dictator to chant death to America are the bankrollers and weapons suppliers for Hamas and Hezbollah. They’re behind the barbaric massacres and the hostage taking. Once again, compare Trump and Biden. Trump got us out of the insane Iran nuclear deal.
He imposed the toughest sanctions ever on Iran, and he eliminated the arch terrorist Qasem Soleimani. Iran was too weak to start any wars. They knew Trump met business and they were afraid.
And then there’s Joe Biden. He lifted the sanctions. He begged them to get back into the nuclear deal. He surrendered in Afghanistan. He sent every possible sign of weakness. Even now, while Hamas is still holding Americans hostage, Biden is pressuring Israel instead of the terrorists. Between Israel and Hamas, Donald Trump is clear about who is our friend and who is our enemy. Then look at the border. It’s the single biggest face… It’s the single biggest threat Americans face. Under Joe Biden, migrants are coming into our country by the thousands every day.
We have no idea who they are, where they end up, or what they plan to do. And let me remind you, Kamala had one job, one job, and that was to fix the border. Now, imagine her in charge of the entire country. Under Donald Trump, we didn’t have the border disaster we have today, and we won’t when he is president again.

Nikki Haley To Host New SiriusXM Show

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley revealed over the weekend that the FBI held a meeting with her during the Republican Party presidential primary to warn her that the Islamic Republic of Iran was interfering in the election to damage her campaign.
Haley made the remarks during a Sunday interview with CBS News&#8217; Margaret Brennan on &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; while discussing foreign influence operations targeting U.S. elections.
&#8220;Look at what happened in [New York Governor Kathy] Hochul&#8217;s office with the Chinese influence and what was happening there,&#8221; Haley said. &#8220;Look at the murder-for-hire plot on U.S. soil, which I was named in, by Iran.&#8221;
&#8220;This has been going on for years. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, to some extent, they have spent years on the cheapest form of warfare is, which is, how do you divide Americans and cause chaos,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They have done that. When I was running my presidential campaign, the FBI had a separate hearing with me to let me know that Iran was meddling in our – influencing the election through with our campaign.&#8221;
She said that the FBI told her that the Iranians were trying &#8220;hurt&#8221; her campaign or kill her.

&#8220;Don&#8217;t just look at Russia. Don&#8217;t just look at China. Don&#8217;t just look at Iran. The biggest lesson we need to take is, when you look at social media, I bet you a larger percentage of those are foreign engagements,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And when I was in Taiwan, they would tell you they could look at Facebook. Any time Taiwan put something out, it was suppressed. Anything China put out, it was played up.&#8221;

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said during an interview that aired over the weekend that if communist China invades Taiwan the impact on the global economy will be ten times larger than the impact from Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine.
Haley made the remarks during an interview on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; with Margaret Brennan while talking about the threat China poses to the world.
She discussed a recent trip she took to Taiwan where she learned about how they are preparing militarily for a potential war with China, including by reducing investment in China, extending the length of required military service for 18-year-olds, and training with the U.S.
&#8220;When it comes to our allies, when it comes to freedom-loving countries, we need to be the best friend to them that we can, because, if China takes Taiwan, what we saw with Russia and Ukraine, it affected 1 percent of GDP, and you saw the economy shake from that,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/face-the-nation-full-transcript-09-08-2024/">said</a>. &#8220;If China takes Taiwan, it would be 10 percent of the global GDP. That&#8217;s $10 trillion, compared to the $1 trillion in Ukraine. We need to care about that. We need to care about it from freedom. We need to care about it from the economy. We need to care about it from security.&#8221;
She said that Americans should not assume that everything will be &#8220;OK&#8221; if the U.S. goes into isolationist mode and ignores Russian and Chinese aggression.

&#8220;What Taiwan is asking for is joint military training and to partner with us so that they can make weapons to defend themselves, and they want intelligence-sharing,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The best way to prevent war from China is to start arming Taiwan now and making sure that they&#8217;re ready.&#8221;

The second day of the Republican National Convention (RNC) kicked off under the theme “Make America Safe Once Again,” but the more poignant message appeared to be Republican unity amid Democratic disarray.
Tuesday featured speeches from a number of former President Donald Trump’s vanquished GOP competitors, such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas – both of whom Trump beat for the nomination in 2016 – also addressed the convention.
Haley, who was Trump’s last biggest competitor in the 2024 primary, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nikki-haley-gives-trump-strong-endorsement-in-call-for-unity-at-rnc?topStoryPosition=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">delivered</a> her “strong endorsement” of Trump during her RNC address. Her message was directed toward voters who don’t “agree with Trump 100% of the time,” encouraging them to unify around the GOP candidate to remove President Joe Biden from office.
“We agree on keeping America strong. We agree on keeping America safe. And we agree that Democrats have moved so far to the Left that they’re putting our freedoms in danger,” Haley said. “We have a country to save, and a unified Republican Party is essential for saving her.”

DeSantis delivered one of the more memorable lines of the night when he compared Biden’s presidency to “Weekend At Bernie’s,” a 1989 comedy in which two insurance employees prop up their dead boss. The reference earned a wide smile from Trump.

From roughly 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the evening, the RNC featured GOP Senate candidates attempting to wrestle seats away from the Democratic Party in competitive states. The convention featured speeches from GOP Senate hopefuls Sam Brown of Nevada, Hung Cao of Virginia, Eric Hovde of Wisconsin, Governor Jim Justice of West Virginia, Kari Lake of Arizona, Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania, Bernie Moreno of Ohio, Mike Rogers of Michigan, and Tim Sheehy of Montana.
Attendees at day two of the convention were treated to a minute-long mashup of Trump dancing on the campaign trail right before the former president walked onto the convention floor.

Under the theme of making America safe again, the lineup included personal stories from Americans impacted directly by violent crime and drug addiction. Madeline Brame, a New York resident, lost her son when he was fatally stabbed in Harlem in 2018. Brame blasted soft-on-crime policies by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who opted to use resources to prosecute Trump.
“My son – Sgt. Hason Correa, an Afghanistan War retired veteran – he received enemy fire from the Taliban only to be murdered with a knife on the streets of New York City,” Brame said. “The four assailants responsible for his death initially were facing justice, but that changed when District Attorney Alvin Bragg was elected.”

Anne Fundner took the stage and spoke of her first-born son who died from fentanyl-laced pills. Fundner placed the blame for her son’s death on Biden’s border policies and the drug trade that has crossed over the United States’ southern border. Her son, Weston, died in a moment of “peer pressure,” Fundner said.
“On February 27, 2022, our lives were shattered and our baby was gone. This was not an overdose, it was a poisoning. His whole future, everything we ever wanted for him was ripped away in an instant. And Joe Biden does nothing. I hold Joe Biden, Kamala Harris – the ‘border czar,’ what a joke – and Gavin Newsom, and every Democrat who supports open borders for the death of my son,” Fundner said.

RNC Day 2: GOP Unity And The Dangers Of Democrat Governance

Republican National Committee (RNC)

Ron DeSantis

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley gave her “strong endorsement” to former President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday evening.
Haley was a last-minute addition to the RNC’s lineup, with the announcement that she would attend coming a day after Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a Saturday campaign rally in western Pennsylvania. Last week, Haley, who was Trump’s last major Republican opponent in the 2024 presidential race, directed her delegates to support Trump and called for unity.
“President Trump asked me to speak to this convention in the name of unity. It was a gracious invitation and I was happy to accept. I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear: Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period,” Haley said upon taking the stage.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Haley’s endorsement received thunderous applause at the convention, with the crowd chanting Trump’s name in response. Haley then directed her message at those voters skeptical of Trump, a contingent she was seen to represent late in the Republican primary.
“My message to them is simple. You don’t have to agree with Trump 100% of the time to vote for him,” Haley said. “I haven’t always agreed with President Trump, but we agree more often than we disagree.” 
“We agree on keeping America strong. We agree on keeping America safe. And we agree that Democrats have moved so far to the Left that they’re putting our freedoms in danger,” she continued. “We have a country to save, and a unified Republican Party is essential for saving her.”
Haley’s endorsement came alongside a speech by another major primary opponent of Trump: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The speeches by Trump’s former opponents rallying around the former president for a second term in the White House contrasts starkly with the divisions that have exploded among Democrats in recent weeks.
President Joe Biden’s campaign struck back at Haley’s endorsement, citing harsh criticisms that Haley had leveled against Trump in the past.
“Ambassador Haley said it best herself: someone who doesn’t respect our military, doesn’t know right from wrong, and ‘surrounds himself in chaos’ can’t be president,” the Biden campaign said in a <a href="https://x.com/BidenHQ/status/1813395217044721996" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> before making an appeal to the voters Haley addressed in her RNC speech.

Republican National Convention

Former 2024 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley blasted ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday after a clip from last August resurfaced on social media showing Stephanopoulos being critical of Haley&#8217;s prediction that Biden would have to step down.
The ABC News host is set to sit down with Biden this week in the president&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-to-sit-for-interview-with-former-clinton-flack-after-poor-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first interview</a> since his disastrous debate performance last week. Last summer, Stephanopoulos pressed Haley to show &#8220;evidence&#8221; that Biden would not be able to finish his first term and that Vice President Kamala Harris would assume the role of commander-in-chief.
&#8220;There&#8217;s no way Joe Biden is going to finish his term. I think Kamala Harris is going to be the next president, and that should send a chill up every American&#8217;s spine,&#8221; Haley told Stephanopoulos last August before the ABC News anchor cut her off.
&#8220;Excuse me. Excuse me one second about that. How do you know Joe Biden is not going to finish his term? What is that based on?&#8221; asked Stephanopoulos, the former White House communications director for President Bill Clinton.
&#8220;Do you think that he&#8217;s actually going to finish what he started?&#8221; Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the U.N., replied. &#8220;We look at the decline he&#8217;s had over the last few years. You have to be honest with the American people, George.&#8221;
Stephanopoulos continued to push Haley to provide &#8220;evidence&#8221; that Biden wouldn&#8217;t finish his first term. The legacy media has been criticized for downplaying Biden&#8217;s apparent mental and physical struggles while in office, especially after his debate against former President Donald Trump last week caused panic among many Left-leaning political commentators.
During the debate, the 81-year-old president struggled numerous times to reply coherently to the moderators, CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admits-he-almost-fell-asleep-during-trump-debate?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> admitted at a private fundraiser that he almost fell asleep while debating Trump.
&#8220;Believe me now, George?&#8221; Haley posted on X along with the video of her interview with Stephanopolous last summer.

Biden reportedly discussed the future of his re-election campaign with his family over the weekend, and his family members urged him to stay in the race.
“[The Biden family] will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he’s been president,” first lady Jill Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jill-biden-reacts-to-husbands-poor-debate-performance-says-she-wont-let-those-90-minutes-define-presidency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Vogue following the debate.
“We will continue to fight.” she said, adding, “[Biden] will always do what’s best for the country.”
A group of Democratic governors — including Gavin Newsom of California, Andy Beshear of Kentucky, and Tim Walz of Minnesota — are reportedly set to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/group-of-dem-governors-want-to-meet-with-biden-to-make-sure-hes-doing-ok?topStoryPosition=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meet with Biden</a> on Wednesday &#8220;to make sure he&#8217;s doing ok.&#8221;
“I think the governors just want a direct and candid conversation with the president. We want to make sure he’s doing okay,” Beshear told CNN on Tuesday. “We all know him. He has formed a personal relationship with us, and he says he is [OK], and we take him at his word, but it’s always good to see somebody in person.”

SDEROT, ISRAEL — Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley called for Gazan Palestinians to &#8220;separate themselves&#8221; from the terror organization that governs them in an interview with The Daily Wire after touring several sites where Hamas massacred civilians on October 7. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s not that we don&#8217;t want good for the Palestinians, but the Palestinians have to separate themselves from Hamas because they&#8217;ve been indoctrinated themselves,&#8221; Haley said. &#8220;What we&#8217;ve seen is an entire generation that thinks their job is to murder the Jewish people and we can&#8217;t let that happen.&#8221;
&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t just Hamas that did this,&#8221; Haley said while standing at the site of the former Sderot police station, which was destroyed after being taken over by terrorists. &#8220;Thousands of Palestinian citizens came in and participated in the robbing and murdering of these people.&#8221;
There have been reports that Palestinian civilians, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/national-security/children-as-young-as-10-took-part-in-hamass-oct-7-terror-attack-survivors-say/">children</a>, and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/01/29/israel-un-gaza-hamas-oct-7/">U.N. employees</a> took part in the attack after Hamas breached the Israel-Gaza fence. Haley’s comments came just after she finished touring Kibbutz Nir Oz where 25% of the 380 residents were either taken hostage or murdered, the site of the Nova massacre, a military base near the Gaza border where female soldiers were taken hostage and killed. Her former counterpart in the U.N. who is now a member of Knesset, Danny Danon, accompanied her on her tour.

Haley also called for American universities to stop accepting &#8220;Arab money.&#8221;
“We should not be taking Arab money into any of our universities, we should not be taking any foreign money into our universities,” Haley said, while standing at the site of the former Sderot police station, which was destroyed after being taken over by Hamas terrorists.
Haley criticized colleges and called for revocation of tax-exempt status at academic institutions where antisemitic threats against Jewish students are not successfully being addressed.
“You can look at what&#8217;s happening on American campuses: those kids are not safe,” Haley said. “That is not a situation I want my kids in. I wouldn’t want anybody&#8217;s kids in and those colleges owe it to the kids there and to the future students. 
“One thing is free speech, but threats and intimidation, that&#8217;s very different,” she added.
U.S. colleges and universities receive about $55 billion from foreign sources, with one-fourth ($13.1 billion) coming from Arab individuals, institutions, and governments, according to a May 2024 study by the <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/arab-funding-of-american-universities-donors-recipients-and-impact-may-2024">American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise</a>. The biggest foreign donor to U.S. universities is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-examines-how-hamas-harboring-qatar-influences-universities-american-institutions">Qatar</a>, a country with close-ties to Iran and the home to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. 
Billionaire hedge fund manager <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hedge-fund-manager-bill-ackman-pushes-to-ban-allowing-foreign-contributions-to-u-s-schools">Bill Ackman pointed out</a> that foreign governments are not allowed to own radio and TV stations, yet fund our universities. 
“Why then do we allow foreign governments to give money to our universities, funds that are used to set up Middle Eastern, Asian studies and other programs which can be designed to fit the desired narratives of the donors,” <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1786361982137880992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1786361982137880992%7Ctwgr%5Ea7e7d2d3f74e2c547825fb21375f2d1153f8bc42%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fhedge-fund-manager-bill-ackman-pushes-to-ban-allowing-foreign-contributions-to-u-s-schools">Ackman tweeted</a>. “Notably, these foreign governments concentrate their ‘gifts’ to our most elite institutions where they can influence our next generation of leaders — judges, politicians, members of the media and more.”

Haley said she is in disbelief by rhetoric coming from college students and activists that denies or downplays the severity of Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians.
“You can&#8217;t pretend this didn&#8217;t happen,” Haley said. “Everywhere you go, someone knows someone who was murdered. Everywhere you go, you see where cars were burned, where people were brutalized, police officers here in this town were killed.”
Haley said Americans should sympathize by reflecting on how they felt after September 11, 2001.
“We were in shock, then we went through great sadness and then we went through anger of making sure it never happened again,” Haley said. “Just imagine if we had gone through all of that and then people told us it didn&#8217;t happen [or] it was America&#8217;s fault.”
“It&#8217;s like stabbing someone in the back after they&#8217;ve already been shot,” she added. “We need to be with them. We need to stand with them. We need to believe them.”

(Photo: Kassy Akiva/The Daily Wire)</div>
Haley said her time touring the Nova site with survivor Tali Biner made her think of her own daughter who is also a nurse in her 20s.
“We talked to a survivor, who talked about what she heard, what she saw, how she hid, how so many people hid under dead bodies,” Haley said. “The fact that she heard so many women mutilated and raped and even men. I mean, it&#8217;s so much that happened.”
“That wasn&#8217;t easy for her to tell me her story of what she heard, what she saw and what she experienced,” Haley added. “She&#8217;s doing that because nobody believes her. It&#8217;s a horrible thing to do to a victim, and it&#8217;s victimizing them all over again.”
Haley also visited the post with a photo of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, one of eight hostages held captive in Gaza.

Last week former president Donald Trump said Haley would  “absolutely” be on his “team in some form” going forward after she pledged to vote for him. In a press conference after her tour, Haley said she doesn’t take the intense rhetoric used by the campaigns personally. 
“I’ve always been able to take the emotion and the personal part out of politics because that is the only way you can do the right thing,” Haley said. “This is about America. It’s about a strong America, it’s about a strong Israel. It’s about having the backs of our friends.”

SDEROT, ISRAEL — Former U.N. Ambassador <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nikki-haley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a> gave her most extensive remarks on her relationship with former President Donald Trump on Monday in Israel, just days after her Republican primary campaign rival predicted that Haley would &#8220;absolutely&#8221; be on his &#8220;team in some form&#8221; going forward.
Trump&#8217;s comments came just a day after Haley pledged to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nikki-haley-says-shell-vote-for-trump-has-not-been-perfect-but-biden-has-been-a-catastrophe">vote for him</a> in November, despite the intense rhetoric used by the campaigns before she ended her presidential bid in March. Asked about how she could work with Trump going forward, Haley said you can&#8217;t take campaign fights &#8220;personal&#8221; and that what&#8217;s most important is working together for the country.
“I’ve always been able to take the emotion and the personal part out of politics because that is the only way you can do the right thing,” Haley said at a press conference during a tour of southern Israel. &#8220;This is about America. It’s about a strong America, it’s about a strong Israel. It’s about having the backs of our friends.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Haley explained that voting to reelect President Joe Biden isn&#8217;t an option when comparing his policies to those of Trump.
“This is all about policy, and when you look at the policies of the two, I am very much on one side. It’s not even close,” she added. “We sparred in a campaign. If I thought either one of them were great, I wouldn’t have run. I ran because I thought I could do a better job, but at the end of the day, it is what it is.”
Haley’s comments came at a press conference in Sderot after she finished a tour of places in Israel attacked by Hamas on October 7. Her tour included Kibbutz Nir Oz, the site of the Nova massacre, a military base by the Gaza border, and the site of the now-destroyed police station in Sderot.
Haley positively reflected on her time in the Trump administration as the UN Ambassador, chalking it up to having the freedom to make decisions in the role.

“The goal was to make sure we knew who our friends were and who our enemies were, and I think the reason that he and I worked well together during that time was because he let me do my job, which was to call out our enemies, but we never forgot our friends, which is why we stood with Israel,” Haley said.
“All you have to do is look at the fact that he moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and acknowledged the truth, he allowed me to defund UNRWA,” she added.
Trump said last week that Haley was a &#8220;very capable person.&#8221;
“We had a nasty campaign,” Trump said in the interview with <a href="https://bronx.news12.com/trump-floats-possible-vp-picks-in-news-12-interview">News 12 New York</a>. “But she’s a very capable person, and I’m sure she’s going to be on our team in some form, absolutely.” He added that the two “have a lot of the same ideas, the same thoughts.”
When Haley was asked Monday if she would accept being Trump’s running mate, Haley said Trump has “made it very clear&#8221; that she&#8217;s not in the running for that position. &#8220;I don’t think about things that are not reality,&#8221; Haley said.

Haley&#8217;s remarks during her visit to Israel largely steered clear of the presidential election. “The last thing I want to do is come to Israel and talk about American politics,” Haley said. “What I do want to do is come to Israel and make sure that the American people see what I see, hear what I hear.”
She criticized both Republicans and Democrats for failing to make a strong case for supporting Israel to the American people.
“The one flaw that I will say of Republicans and Democrats in America is they’re not telling Americans why they should care about Israel. They’re not telling Americans why they should care about Ukraine,” she said. “They’re just making the decision and allowing Americans to hear it in sound bites. Americans are smart. When you give them the information, when you tell them why they need to care, they do.”
Haley announced she was going to vote for Trump during a Hudson Institute event last Wednesday when asked which candidate would be the best for national security.
“As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, [and] who would secure the border. No more excuses,” Haley said. “A president who would support capitalism and freedom. A president who understands we need less debt, not more debt. Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe.”
“So I will be voting for Trump,” Haley continued. “Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me, and not assume that they’re just going to be with him. And I genuinely hope he does that.”
