Nikki Haley in CBS "Face the Nation" interviews for 2023 races
On Abortion:
Some states are pro-life, some err on side of abortion
I have long said I am pro-life not because the Republican Party tells me to be, but because my husband was adopted. But having said that, I think what happened when it went back to the states now there could be consensus in each state.
You know, there's some states that have been pro-life, I welcome that. There are some states that have erred on the side of abortion. I wish that wasn't the case, but it is. I think that we need to make sure that people's voices are heard.

On Immigration:
Instead of catch and release, let's go to catch and deport
This is a crisis created by Republicans and Democrats. This very much should have been dealt with a long time ago and it wasn't. What I would do is first of all do the mandatory e-verify. I would defund sanctuary cities. I would go back to remain in
Mexico because no one wants to remain in Mexico. I would fire the 87,000 IRS agents that are going after Middle America and put 25,000 Border Patrol and ICE agents on the ground. And instead of catch and release, let's go to catch and deport.

On Energy & Oil:
There can be solar and wind, but you can't do it tomorrow
Let's talk about what we want to do if we want to focus on energy. What we don't want to do is go hat in hand to Saudi Arabia or get dirty oil from Iran or Venezuela. What we do want to do is look at what does transitioning look like. You can't do it
tomorrow, but what you can do is transition and that's where we say that let's do an all-of-the-above energy approach. Yes, there can be solar. Yes, there can be wind, but you can't do it tomorrow.

On Foreign Policy:
We need to deal with China as the threat that they are
We need to deal with China as the threat that they are. The way I would deal with it is number one, we wouldn't allow them to buy U.S. soil, we would take the land that they bought back from them. We would say no more are we selling any sort of
sensitive technologies that allow them to build up their military and threaten the U.S. We would tell our universities you either take Chinese money or American money, but the days of taking both are over and we get that Chinese infiltration out.

On Government Reform:
Clean up weaponized, politicized Department of Justice
Q: Do you trust the Department of Justice yourself?HALEY: The first thing we're going to do is clean it up from the top and all of senior management. They have weaponized and put politics in the Department of Justice over years. That needs to end,
that's not the role of the Department of Justice. Don't hide certain things, don't push out certain things. That's what people want from the Department of Justice. That's what they want from the intelligence agencies.
