ADVISORS.
DANA.
>> Dana: ALL RIGHT,
PETER DOOCY.
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE.
FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE
UNITED NATIONS, NIKKI HALEY,
TELLING JOE BIDEN THERE ARE
THREE THINGS YOU SHOULD ABSENTLY
KEEP FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
FOREIGN POLICY.
SHE LAID THEM OUT IN AN OPINION
PIECE FOR "THE WASHINGTON POST"
SAYING HE SHOULD KEEP KEY
ASPECTS OF TRUMPS CHINA POLICY,
KEEP APPLYING PRESSURE ON
LATIN AMERICAN DICTATORSHIPS,
AND ENCOURAGE THE REMARKABLE
PROGRESS OF PEACE BETWEEN ARAB
NATIONS AND ISRAEL.
LET’S BRING IN FORMER GOVERNOR
OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND FORMER
U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE
UNITED NATIONS, NIKKI HALEY.
THOSE ARE JUST THREE OF THE
THINGS THAT YOU THOUGHT THAT A
PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN SHOULD
CONTINUE.
TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
WHY YOU THINK SO.
>> I THINK FIRST OF ALL, IT’S
GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE’S BEEN A
LOT OF FOREIGN POLICY
ADVANCEMENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED
OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHETHER IT’S
HOW WE’VE HANDLED CHINA,
WHETHER, HOW WE HANDLE THE
MURDEROUS DICTATORS IN VENEZUELA
AND CUBA, OR WHEN YOU SIT THERE
LOOK AT HOW WE’RE GOING TO
HANDLE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
GOING FORWARD, WHAT MY HOPE IS
THAT THEY’RE NOT VERY QUICK TO
DISCREDIT AND ERASE THE LAST
FOUR YEARS BUT REALIZE THAT TRUE
GOOD HAS COME FROM THAT.
I THINK IF YOU TAKE CHINA FOR
EXAMPLE, CHINA IS ABSOLUTELY A
FOREIGN POLICY THREAT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RECOGNIZE THAT.
HE RECOGNIZED THAT BY PUTTING
SANCTIONS ON THEM AND THEIR
HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES.
HE RECOGNIZED THAT BY CALLING
OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
DEALINGS.
HE RECOGNIZED HE HAD TO HOLD
THEM ACCOUNTABLE WHETHER IT WAS
A VIRUS OR WHETHER IT WAS ON
ANYTHING ELSE THEY WERE DOING
AND HE BUILT UP OUR MILITARY AND
OUR SPACE FORCE TO COMBAT CHINA
AND WE HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM
FOR EXACTLY THE ABUSER THAT THEY
ARE AND WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO
AMERICA.
IT’S ALL THE MORE REASON WHY THE
HUNTER BIDEN STUFF HAS BECOME A
LITTLE BIT CONCERNING IS BECAUSE
YOU’RE LOOKING AT A DIRECT
CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HEARD
JOE BIDEN SAY THAT HE DIDN’T
THINK CHINA WAS COMPETITION FOR
US AND THAT MUCH OF A THREAT
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.
NOW WE SEE HE AND HIS FAMILY
HAVE HAD BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH
CHINA.
WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
CHINA DOESN’T FEEL LIKE THEY’RE
GOING TO GET A PASS HERE WITH
BIDEN.
AND THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT
WE’RE GOING TO BE AS STRONG AND
HAS TOUGH AS WE’VE BEEN THIS
PAST FOUR YEARS.
>> Dana: TAKE ME BACK TO YOUR
EXPERIENCE AS UNITED NATIONS
AMBASSADOR AND WHAT YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE PROLIFERATION OF WHAT
THE CHINESE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO
DO IN TERMS OF SPYING ACROSS
AMERICA.
WE KNOW NOW ABOUT THE ATTEMPTS
IN ORDER TO INFLUENCE
ERIC SWALWELL WHEN HE WAS A CITY
COUNCILMAN AND MOVING ON UP,
THEN THAT WAS REVEALED IN 2015
WHEN HE WAS A MEMBER OF CONGRESS
AND PUT ON THE INTEL COMMITTEE.
BUT ALSO THE ATTEMPTS, I GUESS,
ANY CONCERNS YOU MIGHT HAVE
ABOUT INFLUENCE THAT THEY THINK
THEY MIGHT HAVE WITH AN INCOMING
ADMINISTRATION.
>> WELL, CHINA HAS BEEN DOING
THIS FOR YEARS.
I CAN TELL YOU MY FIRST YEAR AT
THE UNITED NATIONS, ONE OF THE
DIRECTIVES I GAVE TO MY
IMMEDIATE DIRECT STAFF IS THAT
THEY WERE NOT TO ASSOCIATE WITH
ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES.
WE KNEW HOW IT WAS A SPY CAPITAL
OF THE WORLD BUT WE KNEW EXACTLY
WHAT CHINA WAS DOING.
THEY HAD A SATELLITE WENT
DIRECTLY INTO MY OFFICE THAT WE
HAD TO SHIELD FROM THEM HEARING
THING, SEEING EVERYTHING WE WERE
DOING.
THE IDEA THAT CHINA HAS BEEN
SPYING, IT’S NO SECRET TO ANYONE
WHO’S BEEN IN GOVERNMENT OR HAS
DEALT WITH THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY TO KNOW THEY’VE BEEN
DOING THIS AND THEY BEEN DOING
IT AGGRESSIVELY.
WHAT I SAW ON THE FIRST YEAR’S
CHINA WAS VERY TIMID IN THEIR
COMMUNICATION.
THEY WOULD ONLY HAVE
CONVERSATIONS BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS.
THEY WANTED TO KEEP THINGS
SIMPLE.
ONCE PRESIDENT XI REMOVED TERM
LIMITS FOR HIMSELF AND BASICALLY
MADE HIMSELF KING, THEY HAVE
BECOME MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE.
THEY BECAME AGGRESSIVE IN
KNOWING WHAT EVERYONE IN THE
WORLD WAS DOING.
THEY BECAME AGGRESSIVE IN THEIR
STRATEGY OF HOW THEY WERE GOING
TO GET INFORMATION AND CONTINUE
TO THIS DEAL, WHETHER IT WAS
THROUGH SPYING, THROUGH
UNIVERSITIES, STEALING PROPERTY.
THEY BECAME MUCH MORE CONSCIOUS
OF TRYING TO INFILTRATE WITHIN
THE UNITED STATES ORGANIZATION
TO HEAD UP SPECIFIC AGENCIES.
SO WHAT THE BIDEN TEAM NEEDS TO
UNDERSTAND IS THEY ALREADY FEEL
LIKE THEY HAVE AN IN WITH HUNTER
BIDEN.
JOE BIDEN ALMOST HAS TO GO SO
FAR THE OTHER WAY TO SHOW CHINA
THAT HE’S NOT GOING TO ALLOW
ANYTHING TO GET IN THE WAY.
HE HAS TO EXPAND ON WHAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ALREADY DONE
AND HE’S REALLY GOT TO SHOW TO
THE ENTIRE WORLD WHAT HIS STANCE
IS GOING TO BE ON CHINA.
IT’S NOT SOMETHING HE CAN BE
SOLVED ABOUT AND IT’S NOT
SOMETHING HE CAN SHOW ANY SIGNS
OF WEAKNESS WITH.
>> Dana: SO YOU’RE NOT ONLY A
FOREIGN POLICY EXPERT AFTER ALL
THE WORK YOU DID AT THE
UNITED NATIONS, YOU CARE DEEPLY
ABOUT DOMESTIC POLICY AS WELL AS
THIS WEEK AND YOU WILL BE
CAMPAIGNING IN GEORGIA WITH
KELLY LOEFFLER.
SHE HAD SOME STRONG WORDS
YESTERDAY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES
OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF SHE WERE
TO LOSE THIS RACE.
LISTEN.
>> IF WE DON’T VOTE, WE COULD
SEE THE ELECTION OF AMERICA’S
FIRST MARXIST SENATOR IN THIS
COUNTRY RIGHT HERE IN GEORGIA.
THAT’S WHY WE ARE THE FIREWALL.
>> Dana: HOW DO YOU SEE THE
STAKES OF THESE TWO SENATE
RUNOFFS?
>> WELL, WE ARE GOING TO GEORGIA
ON SUNDAY.
WE ARE GOING TO BE CAMPAIGNING
ACROSS THE STATE AND WE ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT TIME
WITH THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
KELLY IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THERE’S A LOT AT STAKE IN
GEORGIA AND THERE’S A LOT AT
STAKE IN THE COUNTRY AND YOU
KNOW JUST TALKING ABOUT THE
FOREIGN POLICY THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT, WE HAVE TO HAVE A SENATE
THAT’S GOING TO HOLD BIDEN AND
HIS ALLIES ACCOUNTABLE ON HOW
THEY DEAL WITH CHINA.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG SENATE
SO THAT IF HE LOOKS TO JUMP BACK
IN THE IRAN DEAL, THERE ARE SOME
GUARDRAILS THERE THAT SAY YOU
CAN’T JUST GO BACK TO THE WAY IT
WAS.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG SENATE
THAT’S GOING TO MAKE SURE NOT
ONLY ARE WE STRONG ON FOREIGN
POLICY BUT IS ALSO GOING TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE DON’T TURN OVER THE
BUDGET COMMITTEE TO
BERNIE SANDERS OR ALLOW AOC TO
GET AWAY WITH WHAT SHE SAYS IF
THEY WIN THE SENATE THEY WILL
HAVE FULL POWER TO NEGOTIATE.
A LOT AT STAKE.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO BEING IN
GEORGIA.
IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD TIME,
AND WE HAVE TO WIN THESE RACES.
>> Dana: LET ME ASK YOU ONE
LAST QUESTION, AND
SOUTH CAROLINA WHEN YOU WERE
GOVERNOR AND THAT HORRIBLE
CHURCH SHOOTING HAPPENED IN
CHARLESTON AND YOU TOOK A
LEADERSHIP POSITION ABOUT
REMOVING THE CONFEDERATE FLAG
FROM THE CAPITAL, AND SO YOUR
EXPERIENCE IN TRYING TO BRING
PEOPLE TOGETHER.
THE NATION FEELS QUITE
POLARIZED.
MANY PEOPLE ARE DISAPPOINTED AND
ANGRY ABOUT THIS ELECTION.
GOING FORWARD, ANY THOUGHTS
ABOUT HOW WE CAN ALL PULL
TOGETHER AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
THAT WE DO?
>> IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
PULL TOGETHER THE COUNTRY
BECAUSE OF WE DON’T, THE REST OF
THE WORLD SEES US AS DISTRACTED
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE’S A
BIGGER TARGET ON AMERICA’S BACK.
THE WAY TO DO THAT IS FIRST OF
ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I MEAN, I THINK OUR FOREIGN
POLICY IS STRONGER THAN IT WAS
FOUR YEARS AGO.
WE MADE A LOT OF STRIDES IN
DOMESTIC POLICY.
YOU LOOK AT THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE A BACKSEAT IN RECORD TIME
THAT IS SAFE AND READY FOR
PEOPLE TO USE.
AND YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THE
PROGRESS THAT WE’VE MADE AND
WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW, WE WANT TO
REMEMBER FROM THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY STANDPOINT AS WE DON’T
WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DAYS
BEFORE PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WE WANT TO BUILD ON THOSE WINDS
AND BUILD ON THOSE STRENGTHS.
IN TERMS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
THAT’S BECOMING MORE AND MORE
PROGRESSIVE THAN GOING FURTHER
TO THE LEFT, THEY ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO RECONCILE THAT WITH
THEMSELVES.
HOW THEY GO AND SELL DEFUNDING
THE POLICE, SELL BIG FRIENDS
WITH SOCIALIST VENEZUELA AND
COMMUNIST CUBA AND THINKING THAT
CHINA IS NOT A BIG DEAL.
THEY ARE GOING TO GET FURTHER TO
THE LEFT.
BUT AS PARTIES, WE ARE GOING TO
ALWAYS DEBATE.
AS AMERICAN PEOPLE WHAT WE HAVE
TO REMEMBER IS WE ALL AGREE ON
90% OF THINGS.
WE AGREE ON WHERE WE WANT TO GO.
WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO HAVE
MORE OPPORTUNITIES, THAT WE WANT
TO SAVOR COUNTRIES.
WE WANT TO BE A COUNTRY THAT
REALIZES WE ARE A WORK IN
PROGRESS AND WE ARE MORE TO DO.
WE HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF
GETTING THERE.
I HOPE AS WE GO INTO 2021, WE
REMEMBER ALL OF US ARE MOTHERS
AND DAUGHTERS AND SISTERS AND
PEOPLE WHO ARE PATRIOTS THAT
REALLY DO WANT TO SEE A STRONGER
AND BETTER AMERICA.
WE CAN GET THERE BUT WE HAVE TO
BE WILLING TO LISTEN.
WE HAVE TO BE WILLING TO COMMIT
TO ACTION THAT WILL FURTHER
STRENGTHEN AMERICA, AND WE HAVE
TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE’RE BETTER
TOGETHER THAN WE WILL EVER BE
DIVIDED.
>> Dana: HAPPY HOLIDAYS,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU,
