Nikki Haley: The Real Reason I Left Trump’s Cabinet
Shownotes
Nikki Haley on the Iranian plot that targeted her, the real reason she left Trump's cabinet, and whether she'll ever run for president again.
The former UN ambassador and two-term South Carolina governor sits down with Daniel Lubetzky to talk John Bolton and the National Security Council meetings that stopped happening, the Russia sanctions reversal that ended with "With all due respect, I don't get confused," what she'd do differently on Iran, why China is an adversary for life, and bringing down the Confederate flag after the Mother Emanuel shooting. Plus: the Little Miss Bamberg pageant that disqualified her, the man who jumped on her car in New Hampshire, getting locked out of the governor's mansion in her robe, and the Mexican Inquisition.
