i'm excited to see that we have one south carolinian left. you laid it out well, neil. right now my focus is on my constituents and south carolina. i have not weighed in on supporting anyone yet in 24. >> neil: would you be leery of supporting nikki haley if it looks like here shot to get the nomination that it would tick off donald trump? he is no big fan of nikki haley. he's had some choice adjectives to describe her. what do you think of that? >> i've been on the receiving end of choice words from the former president myself. i'm waiting and watching. what i want to be on point about today is that no matter who the nominee is, we have to rally behind them next year. we cannot continue what biden has done to this country, whether we're talking about the southern border or national security or the insecured of other countries around the world. these wars that are happening. we have a lot of decisions to make in the future and republican leadership can do better than what the left has done to destroy this country. >> neil: you were critical of the former president. so w

just this year, south carolinians have been subject to numerous attacks and it doesn't seem to have an end in sight. we've all witnessed agencies, hospitals, businesses, people individually who've run into this problem. and so, the question that i have for you, mr. snyder, is of the cyber criminals you've encountered in your 30 years of experience, who are these people? are they old, young, domestic, are they foreign actors? what type of people do you see that engage in this practice? >> thank you for the question, congressman. i think it's evolved over time. sort of the stereo typical from 30 years ago is a kid in the garage on a big couch. and i think it's really moved on to what we are seeing today are ransom where actors, businesspeople. they are setting up health desks so if the victim doesn't know how to pay them appropriately, that they can help them set up inappropriate wallet and be able to send them money. so, the chairwoman made mention earlier ransom where is a service, so this is becoming a business enterprise for the malicious actor's that are very organized. they are typ

. >> that is correct i love america and i love south carolina and i hope the south carolinians love me as i do them in our state and if that's true i'll be in office as long as they want me to in the good lord allows me to. >> what will be your main take away from having done something that very few people, you noted your upbringing in a late bloomer academically i think that's fair to say. >> yes, sir. >> what are your takeaways that so very few of us will ever have a chance to do which is to run to be the leader of the greatest country on earth. >> it'll probably take me maybe will do a show in a couple of weeks but i would say one of the most important takeaways is to speak to every american in this country. we must come together our foundation is strong built on truth and the future of the nation depends on the present the more that we were together and find a path forward on conservative principles the brighter the future for the nation is one of the most important lessons i take away. our nation has real issues with the battle through. 70000 deaths because of fentanyl in the last

and america and the world saw the strength and grace of the south carolinian people. and that's what we have to get back to again. [applause] >> how do we raise the bar? how do you raise the bar? >> there's a time and place for everything. it's the book of ecclesiastes, the scripture says a similar thing. i think there is a time for fighting for what's right without apology. standing up. i think we are in the middle of a war in this country. not between black-and-white, not between democrat and republican. it's between those of us who love our ideals and fringe minority in this country that hates this country. solomon came after david. there is a time for a different style of leadership as well. even in this campaign. there's a time for the debate state. different kinds of conversations amongst ourselves. and there is a time for this. and so, i think what we really require is -- we have to be careful not to say there is one temperament we have to demand of a president. because then that becomes fake. we have to say, what is the purpose that guides us? we have a purpos

but when you had a hurricane, the one thing i always did was i called south carolinians the truth, everything i knew. i would have press conferences twice a day and i would give them every bit of information so they can make the best decisions for their family. that is the way you are supposed to handle a crisis. when you go through it, you are giving people the information so they make us feel empowered to make the decisions that they wanted. i would tell them, this is what we know about when it is going to hit, this is what we think the storm surge is going to be. this is how you can best protect yourself. when you look at covid, you had multiple voices saying multiple things. people did not trust them. then you had something unprecedented where you literally did not allow people to decide what they wanted to do. you had small businesses, if they wanted to open, they should have been able to. if customers want to walk in that door, they make that decision. we should have allowed the economy and people to continue to move. that did not happen. you shut it down and then sent, you had better -

endorse any of the other hopefuls, but some of his top donors switched their support to fellow south carolinian haley. former president trump still dominates the gop field. in russia, state media issued, then withdrew, alerts that russian troops were pulling back in southern ukraine. the alerts said the russians were regrouping east of the dnipro river. they retreated last year from areas west of the river. moscow said later the reports were false, and it blamed disinformation from ukraine. kyiv denied it. two more cities in india joined new delhi today as places that currently have the world's most polluted air. smoke from fireworks for diwali, the hindu festival of light, added to crop burning and auto exhaust. heavy haze in new delhi gave it the top spot for poor air quality. but people in mumbai and kolkata also faced hazardous conditions as those cities made the top ten. >> the air is so polluted that it is difficult to move from one place to another. it doesn't feel like we are breathing fresh air when we step out in the morning. there is so much pollution that there is just smog wherever

and when when there were two south carolinians, tim scott and nikki haley, he still had a commandingrachel: i think a lot of people are watching and saying this guy has 91 felonies against him, he's had everything drown against him, he guess -- thrown against him, he gets no good press except occasionally on this network, but why are people across the country -- we had a fight here, i'm going to get it wrong -- joey: ufc. rachel: sports is not my thing, but he came here, he got the same sort of reception when he went to the mma fight. why are people so behind him? >> rachel, i think it's in part because for many americans he is us. let me explain that. donald trump represents the people who feel like that the government has stepped all over them, who abused their power to quench their lives and to try to dictate to them. and donald trump is the guy that takes it over and over again. he keeps getting punched by the deep state and the establishment. finish people watch what happens, and they look at the enemies that he has. who are they? well, they're the people who run the alphabet ag

the debates and we are going to go work hard to earn every iowan, every granite state or every south carolinians have a country to save. shannon: a sock about rallies president trump sup 3040 ports on the recipe of governor desantis picked up governor reynolds much coveted endorsement in iowa along with other leaders he has the highest favorables in the gop field in iowa including president trump. and in this headline from hell yesterday said trumps a massive lead ample's deals below to the rivals electability case. they talk about polls for than yourtime, cbs news, all showing president trump leading president biden in a head to head matchup. how do you convince primary voters to abandon somebody up who is up by 30 or 40 points when the argument about him being able to beat president biden and m in many of these pos being muted? >> i think first of all certainly trump has some strong support i have always said he's the right president at the right time and i agree with a lot of his policies. the problem is drum and chaos follow him. whether fairly or not it's costly following him and americans

one south carolinian, tim scott out.ng, but what does that mean, and what does it matter? can she really beat president trump? >> it's an interesting question. even if she were to have a tremendous last couple of weeks, she would be distant in the polls to president trump. at the same time we see former ambassador haley rising, we see both president biden and former president trump increasingly focusing on each other. both -- i mean, we've heard the president and selina's heard this as well i'm sure, talking more than he's talked i think in recent months about former president trump, particularly on the issues of abortion and immigration. the rhetoric is really ramping up. these two men seem to be treating this as a two-man contest as though that rematch of the 2020 election is already baked in, and that seems to be the position we're going to see moving forward. i know that the haley team would like to see her have that good stretch of a couple of weeks and a lot of people are curious about her, but the question is, can

now i will tell you what i told south carolinians when i became governor. no more whining.o more complaining. now, we get to work. how do we fix it? let's start with the economy. the first thing to do, clawback the $500 billion of unspent covid dollars that are still out there. instead of 87,000 irs agents going after middle america, let's go after the hundreds of billions of dollars of covid fraud. one out of every seven dollars. if 8% of our budget is interest, quit borrowing. cut up the credit cards. you have to balance the budget every day. i had to balance a budget as governor. why is congress the only group that refuses to balance a budget? we will stop the spending and borrowing, eliminate the earmarks and i will veto any spending bill that doesn't take us back to pre-covid levels. we will save trillions by doing that. the next thing we have to do is focus on the middle class. in america the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. we need to help which is why we will eliminate the federal gas and diesel tax in america. we will cut taxes for the middl

but when you had a hurricane, the one thing i always did was i told south carolinians the truth. i told them everything i knew. i would have press conferences twice a day and give them every bit of information so that they could make the best decision for their family. that's the way you are supposed to handle a crisis. because when you go through it, you are not living people's lives for them. you are giving them the information so they feel empowered to make the decisions they wanted. i would tell them, this is what we know about when it's going to hit. this is how you can best protect yourself and your family. this is what i'm doing for my family. when you look at covid, you had multiple voices saying multiple things, so people didn't trust any of it. then you had something unprecedented where you literally didn't allow people to decide what they wanted to do. so you had small businesses, if they wanted to open up, they should have been able to open up. if customers want to walk in that door, they make the decision to walk in that door. we should have allowed the economy and p
