john haley is not one of them. again, on the question of conflict of direct, does director tumlin have an conflict of interest? this is the firm he used to work for and i don't know if he retains shares or ownership interest in the firm and i don't know how long he has to not be involved in contracting with the firm and if he does have connection, did he not not participate and does this need to get delegated to the director or the designee and also wondering, where is hayden mill sner maybe he is back in school. anyway. those are my comments on item 13. >> i would wager mr. miller is riding transit around the bay area. that would be my guess. any other public comment on item 13? >> it is really just about the money and the folly of all this that we have a process that precedes to get ready for an e.i.r. and all i know is that it just sounds like a lot of oh my god, what are we doing here? on this agenda, there are very few items and a quarter billion dollars. how much has been spent on bike lanes? i don't know. bu

ambassador haley has a unique background and stood up strong when she was our ambassador. margaret thatcher teamed up with ronald reagan and john paul ii and changed the world. when you have this conversation with ambassador haley about what is going on with china, the president needs to view china the way that reagan and pope john paul viewed the soviet union. we're at acrossroads with marxism and freedom. are we a self-governing republic or sling into socialism and become a dependent state. margaret thatcher is my inspiration. that's why i team up with michelle fishback, women winning to stand the test and have stood up in difficult races and have shown courage and tenacity in their willingness to defend our principles as americans in a time when we're at a crossroads. we need to stand up now and need leaders today. we're so honored to have the endorsement of our ambassador nikki haley. >> martha: nikki, before i let you go, these were three seats that nancy pelosi is targeting already. when you see what is shaking out with this enormous bill and some democrats think they're getting somewhere and this is a win, what do you th

haley: good evening everyone -- >> my name is john and i am the executive director of the ronald reagan foundation. thank you for coming. in honor of our men and women in uniform who protect and defend our freedoms around the world, would you stand and join me for the pledge of allegiance? [applause] >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. please be seated. [applause] >> before we get started, i would like to recognize a few special guests we have in the audience this evening. former congressman and terrific wife -- and his terrific wife, [applause] >> our second special guest with us tonight is a member of our board of trustees. for those of you who have had a chance to work with him, you know he is no stranger to civic duty. jerry persky has been called to public service by five united states presidents. he served as the -- under president nixon, and member of president reagan's council of productivity and member of president george h w bush's expe

haley was engaging in political gymnastics, floor routine, you said it is doing political gymnastics while trying to carry water at the same time. you can't carry that water without spilling it. >> but, john, i think the disappointing thing for me as a long time moderate republican woman, my entire adult life, nikki haley was a fire brand, a rising star. remember, the confederate flag comes down when she's governor of south carolina after the horrific shooting of the charleston nine. she was seen as somebody who in 2015 trump is crazy, i'm not supporting him. then she goes and becomes u.n. ambassador. she's been doing this kabuki dance since 2016. i think the challenge is that someone who was once seen as a unifier and a leader has now acquiesced to the cult, the trump crazy. >> that's the thing, one of the things she said in this speech essentially is that, you know there is no systemic racism, america is not a racist country, she said, and yet you have images because she is so closely tied to that moment in 2015 where she got rid of the confederate flag from state house grounds, but where we have seen the flag most recently. >> in the capitol. >> so there's really no getting past that.

john heilemann. good to have you all with us. we start with comment former u.n. ambassador nikki haleyd said she would consult with him before launching a run for the white house. the former governor told "the journal," "in the beginning of 2023 should i decide there is a place for me, should i decide that there is a reason to move, i would pick up the phone and meet with the president" as in trump. "i would talk to him and see what his plans are. i would tell him about my plans. we would work on it together." back in april haley said i would not run if president trump ran. while haley stopped short of embracing trump's claims the election was stolen in her conversation with "the journal," she did say, "he has a strong legacy from his administration. he has the ability to get strong people elected, and he has the ability to move the ball, and i hope that he continues to do that. we need him in the republican party. i don't want -- i don't want us to go back to the days before trump." john heilemann, you're in texas. we're going to be talking about a lot of politics going on in texas th
