Script:
I know what it’s like to walk into a room where plain truth seems like a foreign concept. Where just speaking your mind can feel daunting. Where the founding principles of The United States of America are openly ridiculed.
For two years, I served as the US Ambassador to the United Nations. Just to give you an idea of how strange things can get at the UN, consider that the Human Rights Council is dominated by some of the world’s worst human rights offenders—countries like China, Cuba, and Venezuela. True democracies, like Israel, are routinely abused. And America, the nation that has protected the God-given rights of hundreds of millions of people all over the globe, is openly criticized.
Why am I telling you this? Because most college campuses have become as anti-American—which is to say morally backward—as the UN. And the only person who can set it right side up is you.
If that sounds like I’m asking you to shoulder a heavy burden, that’s because I am. I wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t think you were up to it. I fully believe that you are.
I’ve spoken at a lot of colleges. I’m convinced that most of the students still have a strong, intuitive love of our country. That’s why I’m optimistic about America’s future. But I know that it’s hard to speak out. I know the academic establishment is against you. I didn’t say this was going to be easy. It is, however, going to be necessary.
So, what is it that I’m asking you to do? Be brave. Defend your right to speak out. Defend America. To your friends. In class. Around campus. Wherever you go.
Speaking out doesn’t mean being rude and, of course, it never means resorting to violence. It means, having the facts and saying the truth with clarity and purpose. And, if you’re saying the truth, don’t back down, even if your classmates or professor—or, in my case, the representatives of 193 governments—try to make you look foolish.
Defending America means you need to know American history. Given how poorly that history is taught these days, you might have to supplement your education. Start with the primary sources: The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, George Washington’s farewell speech, the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln’s second inaugural. And build out from there.
Discover America’s history for yourself. Make up your own mind. Always remember that you’re comparing America to reality, not to utopia. Also remember that you have to judge people in the context of their time, not by the standards of our time. If you do that, I have every confidence you’ll find yourself loving this country as much as I do.
America has a great story to tell. But first you have to have the courage to tell it. What the fight for racial equality was to prior generations, the fight for free speech and intellectual freedom is to your generation. You are on the front line. You are the rebel.
Never before, in my lifetime, can I remember when more Americans were as stifled or as constantly told what they’re allowed to think and what they’re allowed to say.
And what are we allowed to say in America? What sorts of fashionable ideas are considered sophisticated by our top universities? So often, they’re the very same ones espoused by the thugs on the Human Rights Council: That America is racist, that capitalism—the only economic system to lift billions of people out of poverty—is the source of our problems, that socialism is bliss, that freedom of speech is not that important.
These are very bad ideas. They’re also dead wrong. There is no question that America can and should improve. That’s the hard work we have in front of us. But the constant slandering of…

The next potential President of the United States.
She is brave to tell the truths. For example, that the UN is dominated by worst human rights violators.
Niki is more concerned about Ukrainians and not Americans
I may be lonely. I may lose my best friends after so much effort to build them. They will never forgive me. Am i the only one here worth it ?
Probably
get a load of this woman "true democracy like the occupational figure israel💩💩💩💩" a state which was born on genocides of indigenous Palestinian people murdering young children and women and stealing their land. WOW, that exactly reminds me of another county that was born in original sin-
actually three different sins: "the cruel genocide and ethnic cleansing of indigenous peoples, the institution of slavery imposed on Africans, and the occupation and subjugation of Spanish-speaking lands", which you may have guessed it. It is -drum roll plsAMERICA!!!!Praise ALLAH
Powerfully well said. I work at a hospital that last week announced mandatory vaccinations. I'm worried. I'm in the minority. I have a family. I'm educating myself now about these issues because I see that there is no way out of this unless I use my voice and encourage others who quietly feel like me to do the same. Thank you for your words and for the suggested readings. I had never considered the Federalist Papers before. I'm subscribed. I'm listening.
As a South Carolinian I can say, we don’t claim her.
US, India .These are the only two countries where democracy is highly shielded from enemies .China, Pakistan, Russia ,North Korea and some other countries in European Union are stooges of China .Communism and Islamism are the real fascist ideas that is looming over world .Persons like McCarthy was a check balancer in USA to curb spread of communism .But look at India ,Eventhough we have a strong leader like Modi ,our academia intelligentsia are still dominated by leftist elements who spread their propoganda of secessionism and praising China .Every country is facing this problem .We have to purge out leftists from this area.
WHO and our allied global agencies have become shadow organisations of Communist China .
Too bad she threw her own country and president under the bus when we needed her the most, and has now flip flopped again. What a hypocrite.
Ok I’ll defend my right to call you a Scumbag Nikki Haley
No war, except class war. 🔨
This sounds 1984-y
Saudi Arabia is also dominating the human rights council, a country that USA supports even at Trump's presidency and sells weapons :/
Get her off the screen. She has no future in American conservatism, and neither does anyone who keeps pushing her down our throats.
This video is a joke a indian woman cosplaying as a white woman lecturing people about american freedom and rights
We Americans need to first get down and pray for the salvation of this great nation. Second we need to speak out loudly and clearly for the truth, fairness, justice, and mercy.
Nikki Haley proved herself to be a RINO when she blamed President Trump for the "attack" on the U.S. Capitol. She's a pathetic political opportunist.
Can you make a same video about UK?
0:46 openly criticizing the United States is bad because Venezuela and Cuba are bad
Really PragerU? You had Nikki Haley on here? LOL she’s worse than the socialists! Pathetic!!!!!
0:45 Every country should be openly criticized by its peers, including the U.S. the line is drawn when tbe critism becomes destructive. There are things some countries do better then others, there are some that rhey do worse. Global discussion is useful to figure these things out. The rest of the things mentioned (if 100% accurate) are disgusting
SOOOOOO TRUE😊
🎵Indian Ghandi🎵 is only brave in defense of her neolib elite interests.
🎵Indian Ghandi🎵 here to lecture the actual huwhite americans about america, amazing. TRUE DEMOCRACIES LIKE ISRAEL. They gotta become 🎵christians in the server🎵 to avoid hell
PAKISTAN WAS RE-ELECTED INTO U.N HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL IT'S THE BIGGEST JOKE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
So brave /s
''And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave''
Very impressive person, I think she would be a great candidate for 2024, it would be awesome if she was the first female president. Now I was wondering if @PragerU could do a video talking about American intervenionism because yesterday I discussed with them why they dislike the country and they agree that we've done the most for own citizens. However they think what we've done to other countries is wrong and believes national sovergeinty is foolish, and that all cultures are neither good nor bad. Can you give me some arguements to combat this?
Nikki, just a tip..,you can’t remake the GOP into the Dem collaborator model…you must embrace Trumps populism and not fall for Dem false flag narratives. The former only plays into the lefts hands. When the people can’t tell the difference from a Dem and a Republican (Rino), Republicans lose every time. Shut your pie hole about Trump and the Jan 6 non-riot/insurrection.
i didnt know who she was. saw this video, liked it, then in a couple of days, heard of her from the news, the backstabbing of course. i guess some just do the talk, never walk the walk. i have nothing against her, even though i support trump. it's still a nice video, the idea she is spreading here is supported by me, i just dont support her.
prageru is garbage
Propaganda?
And then she gave in to the mob…
I hate Nikki Haley
Nikki Haley is a traitor.
