Speaker 1

You're listening to Comedy Central. Nicky Haley, the former South Carolina governor and Trump you an ambassador, has decided to throw her hat of the ring and run against her old boss. So I went to her campaign launched in South Carolina to see if the party was really ready to turn the page? Are you excited about Nicki Haley for Presidents? Very excited. She's done great things for South Carolina.

She's tough, she's a woman women role. The Republican partners a change, and we need someone with Nikki's foreign policy expertise. I love Donald Trump, but I think that she has more of a feminine finesse. You think Trump has a harder time with communicating with ladies. He has a harsher approach when it comes to women and sometimes has to pay for it, and he's sometimes has a hard time navigating it. Yes, I mean, I think she's really rotting to get like. I don't think she'll win. Oh, I

think it's for VP. So this just sort of like bidding practice. It's just fun to be here. Why not VP or President? I was curious to see how Haley could win over ardent Trump supporters. I voted for Trump, but I certainly will not be doing that again. When did Trump lose your support? The nail in the cofferin for me with Donald Trump? Let me guess, Charlotte spill. No, but okay, let me You're not gonna guess it. Kids in cages Nope? The interaction January six, the nope, Uh? Okay,

wait hold on, first debagment nope. Second of Pepe okay. Uh. Inviting white supremacist over tomorrow laga. No, but damn. I mean, you know, criticizing the Shantis before his election? Wouldn't a guest did so? That's the line right, that was down on the corm. I would have guess kids in cages. I told you you when the guest did. This is the way you come on and talk to peop. But you're constantly surprised. Haley has been either a strong Trump critic or a vocal Trump ally, depending on the time

of day. Could this pose a problem? Did you feel like she sufficiently stood up to Donald Trump when she needed to. I think she has, and I think nicky he is not afraid to stand up to any male, our female with her voice of opinion. Yes, after January six, she wasn't afraid to say this is disgusting, and then a couple of weeks later to say they were being too hard on him. Yes, yes, we agree, I agree totally. An individual respects you if you can stand up to them.

So if something all happens like Charlotte'sville speaks her mind, Charlotteville happens, she's not afraid to criticize Trump. Walk right in there and and in her fifty two week notice, right is right, right from wrong. It's a campaign that's distancing itself from the far right fringe, except if you look closely at Haley's first speaker, Pastor John hage who has unusual views on the weather. As a candid you have that responsibility to not get in the gutter, so

hopefully we can stay in a more positive plans. Well, the first person I saw on stage was Pastor Hagey, who thinks hurricanes are a punishment for cape people? Is that really what he said? How long ago was that? That was? That was wrong? Katrina? Yeah, yeah, that's a that's an interesting opening act. Pastor Hagey has said that hurricanes were God's punishment for gaze. Oh no, it preaches

the gospel. I mean I I followed him for years. Yeah, but maybe if she wants to track moderates, come in with a little bit more of a moderate pastor who thinks something more acceptable, like tornadoes are caused by too much masturbation. My goodness. Yeah, that's way out there. Now, that's too far, and there's that line again. Good to know. Explore more shows from the Daily Show podcast universe by
