I'm Dave Rubin and welcome to the first episode of The Path to the Presidency.

Over the coming months I'm going to be interviewing all of the declared Republican presidential

candidates and if some Democrats get in, I guess we could do that too.

And joining me to kick this off is the former governor of South Carolina, the former US

ambassador to the United Nations, and now Republican candidate for President of the United

States, Nikki Haley, Nikki, nice to see you.

Thanks for the chat.

I appreciate it.

All right, you're first out of all of the people.

Well, you were technically you weren't first in, right?

Donald Trump was first in, you were second in, but you're first with me, which I would

imagine is probably more important.

Yes.

You know, I mean, look, I'm a decisive person.

I didn't need to wait.

I didn't need to wait to see who else was going to get in.

I didn't need to wait or worry about anything else.

I think if you're going to do this, you have to do it because you know this is what you want

and you know this is what you think you can do for the country.

And so we were ready.

And you know, it's been a month and it's been a whirlwind, but we're working and all

is good.
