‘The World is On Fire!’ Nikki Haley Sounds Alarm to Charlamagne About World War III: We’re ‘Acting Like It’s September 10th’

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley treated the potential outbreak of World War III as a frighteningly realistic possibility during her appearance on The Daily Show.

Charlamagne Tha God interviewed Haley for his latest stint as The Daily Show’s guest host. While the conversation allowed for some levity about Governor Ron DeSantis’ (R-FL) rumored hidden heels, there was intense seriousness in the moment when Charlamagne brought up the Israel-Hamas war to speak broadly about a potential significant escalation of international conflict.

Charlamagne: As a former U.N. ambassador, when you see Palestine and Israel going at it, you hear talks of Iran might get involved. You hear Russia and Hamas are growing closer. China might move on Taiwan. Biden says the U.S. will defend the Philippines against China. The Pentagon says they have a nuclear weapon 24 times stronger than what they dropped on Japan. China is building up its nuclear weapon arsenal. How close are we to World War III, do you think?

Haley: The world is on fire, and America better wake up because right now, America is acting like it is September 10th. And we better remember what September 12th felt like, because all it takes is one time.

What I will tell you is, all of our enemies — and I dealt with them every day for two years when I was at the United Nations — every one of them is looking at Joe Biden and they know he is not at the top of his game. They see him freezing up. They see that he can’t hear. They look at the fact that they see Donald Trump and they see all of the chaos that comes with that, and they are just banking on us continuing down this path that is not good for us.

We need to be strong. We need to be clear, and we need to do everything it takes to prevent war. A strong America doesn’t start wars. A strong America prevents wars. Right now, our enemies don’t fear us and that’s the problem. What we have to do is stop being reactionary and start letting other countries know what we expect of them. That is what I did at the United Nations. That is what I will do as your president.
