NY Post: Ronna Mcdaniel’s Pathetic Bid to ‘Unite’ the Republican Party
"The New York Post, in fact, had a big editorial today. Criticizing ronna mcdaniel over the efforts to unite the Republican Party, but do you want to know what they, what the basis of their criticism is? They write in their editorial yesterday. The simple fact is that many GOP voters won't support Donald Trump if he's the nominee. And so they call Rhonda's efforts to unite the party pathetic.

GOP 2024 Candidates Must Sign Loyalty Pledge to Debate
"A lot of thought to something ronna mcdaniel, the RNC chair told Dana bash on CNN yesterday. And I initially had a pretty knee jerk reaction. So dumb, that's so stupid. Expecting Republicans to sign a loyalty pledge before they can participate even in the debates. That's an overreach. It's wrong. And the more I think about it, I kind of apply her expectation to me. As a radio host, I mean, I'm aware that I make my living trying to persuade people with my views, my opinions, my thoughts, my beliefs, I guess I'm in the persuasion business. And I want to persuade Americans to stop supporting the Democrat agenda in this country because it's ruining the country. It's hurting this country. We need Republicans and leadership from the local level to the state to the federal level. We need a Republican back in The White House. The four years under Donald Trump were provably better than Biden's tenure as the commander in chief. But I also have to threaten needle a little bit. I watched Ron DeSantis last night, spend an hour with Mark Levin. On life liberty and Levin, the great show that Mark hosts Sunday nights on Fox News. I saw Tim Scott. On with Shannon bream. On Fox News Sunday. Not seeing a lot of Donald Trump on Fox News.

Will Donald Trump Support the Republican Nominee If It's Not Trump?
"Then a mash, ronna mcdaniel yesterday, cut number 26 State of the Union. Anybody getting on the Republican National Committee debate stage should be able to say, I will support the will of the voters and the eventual nominee of our party. I want you to listen to what former president Donald Trump said a couple of weeks ago in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on this very topic. If you're not the nominee, will you support whoever the GOP nominee is? It would depend. I would give you the same answer I gave in 2016 during the debate. It would have to depend under the nominee was. So are you prepared to block the former president? In 2016. I did. Everybody signed it in 2016. But this is about the here and the now. We didn't commit to it. Yeah, I think they're all going to sign it. I really do. I think the voters are very intent on winning, and they do not want to see a debate stage of people saying, I'm not going to support this guy. I'm not going to support this guy. What they need to say is, I'm going to do everything I can to defeat Joe Biden. And that's means supporting the nominee of the Republican Party. You can't see a scenario where Donald Trump would just skip the debate if he's forced to sign something. I want to be on the debate stage. I think president Trump would like to be on the debate stage. That's what he likes to do and I expect they'll all be there. I do too. I run it, by the way, I'm going to play more of her interview with Dana yesterday because it's a terrific interview. But I do believe that eventually everyone will support the nominee.

Charlie Kirk: Trump Team Should Have Done More to Defeat McDaniel
"Rank and file, the base of the party, could not even afford a room. At the RNC meeting where ronna mcdaniel won reelection. And a lot of people are upset at Donald Trump over this, including Charlie Kirk, take a listen, cut two. When I was walking the halls and I was shaking hands, one after the other said, well, Charlie, I'm a little bit confused. Mar-a-Lago is here. Some of the top Trump lieutenants are here advocating for Rana. And it became abundantly clear that ronna was the choice of Mar-a-Lago. That the current RNC regime that loses and wastes your money and sends you emails and hates you, might have got across the finish line because Mar-a-Lago advocated for it. Now, I'm a huge Trump actor and I remain that. I think it was a mistake to do that. I would have liked to see Donald Trump do the exact opposite and send his lieutenants for change at the RNC. Not to continue with this ronna Romney pattern of losing. And so that was really demoralizing. I'm not going to lie. Here I am trying to be your voice for the populist nationalist conservative movement, 98% of us want to see some sort of change. I get emails from you guys saying Charlie, I give a $100 a month that I don't have. Thank you for going to Dana point to try to figure out what the heck is going on. And here I am learning that the guy that I'm backing in 2024 enthusiastically, by the way, because I believe that he's going to upset the establishment and that he's a true conservative that his lieutenants at the very least, and I don't know how involved he was, but you can connect some dots is the one working the halls. I think it's a big mistake. I do.

David Drucker on the Creation of the Ronna McDaniel Storyline
"M drucker on Twitter is now with the dispatch where he writes their weekly dispatch on American politics. David, good morning to you. How are you? Great. Good morning. Ronna mcdaniel won easily. I was at the convention. The Republican National Committee winner meaning she won by 70% of the ballots on the first ballot. This was a non story that became a story because harmony was very verbal and very loud and she had a lot of good friends and I salute her running and Mike lindell was there and my colleagues create some media attention. But why does the media create storylines when there is no storyline, David? Well, because we have to cover something even if we don't have to cover it and it's much more interesting to cover if there's a storyline and we're likely to have more readers if there's a storyline. Now I will say you and that's just by the way, that's the journalism answer. I know I've sounded a little glib there. So we always look for a way to make it look more interesting. I will say that Hermes had a lot of grassroots outside activist support. There are different. As you know, factions within the Republican Party and outside of the voting members, she had a lot of local support. Of course, the way you win that race is to run an inside game, catering to the 168, you don't bring outside pressure to bear, even though she is one of the voting 168 RNC members. She really relied on outside pressure that's just not the way you win a race like that.

"Ronna mcdaniel has been reelected as the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee. I was hoping that would not be the case. I don't normally get very involved in these kinds of races, but I think I felt as well as Ron DeSantis did that when you got an operation that is consistently losing, reducing bad results. Think of a corporate CEO's got bad earnings for four years in a row. And ronna mcdaniel produced bad results in 2018, 2020, 2022. Now I'm not saying this is single handedly her fault, but the Republican National Committee is in fact the organization that is in charge. Of managing the strategy for the GOP for the Republican Party in elections. It's got resources to do it. It's got the strategic ability to do it. It is involved in races across the country. So who else are you going to blame if not the RNC? Our meat Dillon, my friend army Dylan, a fellow Dartmouth grad, and harmony has been on the podcast before. I've also interviewed her in my book 2000 mules. And Harvey is great and her meat ran as a kind of resistance candidate, a candidate of the grassroots, and the final vote was something like a hundred or so votes for Verona, about 50 votes for her meat, and just a handful of votes for Michael lindell. It was kind of the wild man in the race. And so what that tells you is that the power of the establishment in the Republican Party counts for kind of two to one over the grassroots because I don't know a single grassroots Republican who was like, yeah, I think we need to keep her on a mcdaniel. I ran a Twitter poll on my site, which got thousands, tens of thousands of votes, and it was something like 90% or 95% for her meat. Trump put out a truth post in which he congratulated rona mcdaniel, but immediately said something like now let's get to the business of fixing our election. So it seems to me that Trump is probably calculating that with desantis having come out against ronna mcdaniel. He Trump could probably benefit from the support of the RNC and so Trump is making a sort of transactional endorsement. And fairness Trump did endorse rona mcdaniel the last time around as well. Now, there are some grassroots Republicans and you see this all over social media. Obviously, disappointed, even disgusted. And I see some sentiment of the effect of I'm done with the RNC. I don't think there's anything wrong in saying, look, until the RNC produces effective leadership, I'm not going to give money to the RNC. Debbie and I are not giving money to the RNC. And we wouldn't. But we do not take the view. This is very important that we are done with the Republican Party or we need a new party, that is just nonsense talk. And that is a form of surrender to the other side.

"Right, this is going to be another wild ride. I got to move on a lot of stuff happened last week. A Friday was probably one of the biggest news days of the early year so far. Yeah, the drop of the Paul Pelosi video, we kind of discussed that a little bit, did that on the Fox show. We had the RNC election, sadly, ronna mcdaniel won. I don't know what the east delegates were thinking. Can I just say I want to get off track when I have to get to here, but just about that? I'm going to tell you something here that you're probably not going to be shocked to hear. And probably make me persona non grata with people. I really could give less of a about if they make me persona non grata. Jim was like, where do I have to hit the buzzer right now? No, I don't think so. I think I muted it just and up. The way these RNC elections work with the head of the RNC, ronna mcdaniel, who won again her fourth term despite a record of really incredible failure. It's really phenomenal. It's like failing up in the world. You know, it's interesting. I'm writing a book about failure, and it's actually done. I got to do the pictures for it. This Wednesday. So be outside, so I could be kind of a heads up. But the difference between my book called failure as a gift and I think Ron is failure's not been again. She just keeps failing. To think about the failures of my life is I use them to actually do different stuff. I didn't do the same stuff and I keep failing. So here's the thing about these inside baseball elections. These delegates a lot not all of them. I want to stereotype, but a lot of them. And I remember this from my time in Maryland and elsewhere. They really couldn't give a damn about you at all. They got these little spots as committee men and chairman and committee people, whatever they call them now and the politically correct garbage way, show the swampy Republicans do it too

You told us that this clown show was gonna be good for us politically. We just have to endure it, you know, and test the Lake for two years. This is the poll we were talking about CNN poll only 27% of U.S. adults believe Republican leaders in the house have the right priorities so far. 73% say the GOP House leaders have not focused on the most important problems. And that's probably two weeks in. The most important problem is their voters. The rest, you see the Rasmussen poll, or who should run the office. Who's answering their landlines in the refreshing party during dinner hours to see who should run the iron she Ron mcdaniel got about 15%. My pillow guy was the runaway winner. And there's no one more qualified to be in charge. Wait, do they have the votes and the MyPillow guys today? Oh it is. Everything's exciting. Right, because they were saying there was the other hermit. Who's the other Dylan? Yes. The woman. So they were saying that the rumor was that she was teaming up with my pillow guy to meet him. No, she's not meeting up with Ron DeSantis to beat ronna mcdaniel. Ronna mcdaniel has now led the GOP to him humiliating losses in the last three elections and she tripled her own salary, so she's pretty qualified to run their elections as well. I mean, if George Santos is not going to throw his hat in, it should be one of those people. Senator Murphy on the clown caucus. I mean, you have seen the level of confidence in the House of Representatives over the last three weeks. These guys can't negotiate themselves out of a paper bag. They can't even articulate what they want in exchange for an increase in the debt ceiling.

"We take back The White House and the Senate. There it is. Okay. Everybody sat down, she gave her speech. And Mark niquette was in the room for it. Bloomberg national politics reporter who I'm glad to say is with us right now. It sounds like the membership. I mean, over a hundred, ten votes here, Mark, was pleased with the way the vote worked out here was there a gasp in the room, what was the reaction? No, but there was expected that she would win. But there was genuine uncertainty about whether she would or what the margin would be heading into the vote, mcdaniel said she had well over a hundred members endorsing her, but it was a secret ballot and Harvey Dylan thought in the privacy of that secret ballot enough members who even publicly said they supported McDonald and mcdaniel might vote for her because they wanted to see change at the RNC, but obviously that didn't happen. Yeah, I guess there was one vote for Lee zeldin, strangely in a 167 in total. How come we didn't have a 168? You know, I'm not even sure what happened there because there were a 168 votes either with members or their proxies, but the bottom line is it just takes a majority of those voting to win the speakers when the race like the speakers race where we saw people voting present to or not voting, essentially. So that they can get the margin down to get the majority. They're still going, right? What's the rest of the rest of the day like? Well now there are two electing the other party officers. RNC co chair treasurer and secretary and there's actually a big battle for the co chair race where on the first ballot, no candidate got a majority So there have been the middle of the second ballot and there's some thought that it could go on for a while. Like the speakers race would switch like the 15 ballots. But I think a lot of members here are hoping it doesn't go to 15 because they have place to get out of California and go back home. All right, right. I hope the coffee's good, Mark. Thanks for checking in with us marketing cap Bloomberg national politics reporter always kind of share with us this firsthand reporting from the field. I love it as we bring in salt and news as principal and managing partner of coast to coast strategies in just the man we wanted to talk to you with a great sense of what's happening inside the apparatus. He previously served as Michigan Republican Party chair, it was a candidate for chairman of the RNC in 2009 and in 2011, so he's been there. So thank you so much for being with us. That was a pretty strong show of support here. Did you expect ronna mcdaniel to pull through with such a convincing margin? Yes. No, I mean, I think when ronna announced that she had over a hundred members that had publicly signed a letter in her support, it was very difficult to see how anybody would have a path to change that. You know, it's a very insider's game. She's very good at building relationships. Keeping in touch with the members, making sure that they're taken care of, et cetera. And that's the kind of thing that happens in a race like this, which is very much inside baseball very much people taking care of one another and working together. A 168 sounds like a lot of people, but that's a pretty small group to work with on a regular basis in and out of party politics. Well, let me ask you, who are these 168 members voting today? Well, what happens is each state basically gets three representatives, including the territories. And so it is the state chairman of each respective party, as well as one National Committee man and one National Committee woman elected from each of the states. So the National Committee people serve convention to convention. In other words, they're elected. The year of the national convention, but they actually get seated after the previous convention ends and serves to the next convention. Where a state Sherman are oftentimes elected every two years at their states which most states rotate their chairman out every two years. So those three people from each of the states and the 5 territories make up your 168 members. Got it. One of ronna McDaniels sort of closing arguments was that, you know, I know Donald Trump and I'll keep him from running on a third party if it comes to that. Is Rana mcdaniel going to be the Trump whisperer still as the chair of this party or is there a disconnect? No, look, I mean, she has a very unique relationship with the president. The president picture to be the chairman during his first term. She has somebody that he, I think, trusts and has a relationship with. So I think she can always have influence and share her ideas, but the president is obviously his own man. He's going to make his own decisions, but she is somebody that will counsel him and give him advice and if anybody could help keep him kind of within the ranks of the party and not be disruptive. I mean, she's got as good or better chance than most other people in the process. So this was a pretty bitter fight as was widely publicized here. Was it good for the party to have it out? What's sort of left in the dust as everybody goes home from California? No, I think it's absolutely healthy. I mean, this is the kind of thing. There's a lot of frustration in the party, right? I mean, we expected to have a much better election year this time around and there's a lot of grassroots that are frustrated with how things are working and how things come about. And so I think raising these questions is a fair part of the process. I think it's healthy for Rana to have gone through this to get a feel for where some of the frustrations are and gives her some direction as to how she can address where the party ought to be in the future and where you're on the move. So it will very quickly come together. But this is the kind of thing that helps her get that autopsy going. Helps her get the process going and saying, okay, what were some of the things people raised and why and how should we handle them? And so I think Ron is a pro at this. She gets the game as well as anybody and she's going to learn use this as a positive

"But she very much approached them, apologized, and it looks like that may have helped. She also has been telling people who are concerned about who she surrounded herself with. A lot of these Trump maga hardliners that she is not an election denier and that she is not one of those types. And so I think she's definitely trying to work and win over people who are skeptical of Trump and she's had a lot of success with that this week. And then obviously Ron DeSantis yesterday sort of shocked everyone when he came out and said he supported her over Rana. And I don't know how much of an impact that had on moving votes, but last night I was staking out her reception at about 10 o'clock Pacific time and she was she came out. She was working the phones. I asked her about this and she said she had flipped more than ten votes just that day and was thinking she was going to get even more. She thought she was with it and striking distance. And she told me the story that a lot of people are talking about right now here at the RNC basically there was this big dinner last night and she was seated in the very back of the dinner with her back facing the front of the stage in that she was facing the back and a lot of people got upset because they thought ronna mcdaniel had something to do with it and that it was sort of a petty slight. And so some people came up to Harvey Dylan and were telling her they might vote for her because they were upset on her behalf. And then other people have told me that actually she was supposed to sit in the front and then she canceled on the dinner, but she said she couldn't come so they gave her seat to someone else. Anyway, point being, there is a lot of drama happening and remember this is a secret ballot. So we have no idea if somebody's lying, like is she really within striking distance? We won't know for a little bit a couple of hours here, but there's a lot happening in short. I guess if you want to prove your independence from Donald Trump, there's nothing better than a Ron DeSantis, a non endorsement endorsement. What does all this mean for Trump, you know? I feel like maga America first is still a big position in the party, but then independence from Trump is still, you know, an important thing to have in an RNC chair. It just kind of interesting seeing all these different forces coalesce. Yeah. I mean, a lot of people are sort of watching this. I think from the outside and trying to figure out what does this mean for the future of the party, specifically, what does this race tell us about Trump? And it's not really clear cut in that both of these women obviously have strong ties to Trump. They're both supporters of him. And there's nobody who's running right now on a platform like an anti Trump platform saying that he definitely shouldn't be the nominee and we need to look elsewhere. So that's sort of one thing, I guess, moving in his favor.

"Here are the big things we're tracking. On Friday, January 27th. A representative George Santos days in Congress, numbered, politicos, Sarah Ferris and Ali mutt, report this morning, both Republicans and Democrats in his district are drawing up plans for who should run to replace him. Either in a special election, if he resigns, or in 2024, Dems are pursuing former representative Tom swazi. Other possibilities include Robert Zimmerman and a Kaplan, or John kamen. On the GOP side, though the national party has an abandoned Santa, local groups are already buzzing about Jack Martin's Andrea catsimatidis, Elaine Phillips, or Alison esposto, among others. On the hill, Santos isn't really making friends. Olivia beavers reports this morning. During conversations with a dozen House Republicans, a picture emerged of desantis, who's more reserved among his colleagues than his recent spotlight seeking suggests, holding friendly conversations here and there without directly cultivating many allies. Members often remarked they had no idea who he spent time with, but it certainly isn't them. The California sunny race is already heating up, some progressives are attacking representative Adam Schiff. For his role, during the Trump impeachments, and their sighting of familiar source, playbook's own Rachel Bates book, unchecked, with car and immersion.

The EPA denies that he has any plans to leave. Playbooks Rachel baid has been in Dana point, California all week, tracking the election of the next RNC chair. The big days today, and she's here to give us the latest. Rachel, how's it going? Thanks for having me. When we started out the week, it looked like the current chair ronna mcdaniel would likely be reelected. A challenger army Dillon looks like she got a lot of buzz as the week went on. What have you been hearing lately? So she's definitely gained a lot of traction, I would say. You'll remember that back earlier in the week before members got here and Dana point, she had about 30 RNC members who were supporting her and endorsing her publicly. I'm hearing and I was hearing late last night that she is within striking distance. Basically, she came to Dana point and did a whole bunch of meetings. I mean, we saw her sort of working members, frantically on her phone, texting, calling, and she did sort of two things. The first thing she did was apologize to members for all the sort of grassroots harassment they might have gotten because some people who support her put their contact information online, a lot of RNC members were really angry about that. And so they wouldn't support her because of it.

Trump's MAGA forces threaten to upend vote for RNC chair

Ronna mcdaniel is fighting for reelection as chair of the RNC, a race to be decided Friday by secret ballot as Republican officials from all 50 states gather at the Waldorf Astoria in Dana point, California. Trump and his team have privately advocated for mcdaniel who he tapped for the position in 2016, but groups of pro Trump Republicans in Florida and other states have held votes of no confidence in the chairwoman, a former attorney for Trump, army Dylan, is leading a fierce campaign against her, harnessing the maga movement.

And I grew up with Sikhs and some of the most beautiful, amazing people that I were honored to call Friends growing up were seek. And obviously it's leaked from people that want to attack you. So the nastiness being thrown at you is incomprehensible. And it's kudos to you for your courage for stepping up and you're willingness. Walk us through the state of the race, 11 days, we have a failure as chair of the RNC. We got to get rid of her. What's the latest? Well, thank you. So the latest is, I jumped into this race just a little over a month ago after our chair ronna mcdaniel basically is refusing to leave. Normally after you lose a presidential race, you actually do leave. So that was two years ago, but she promised us a final and third term. And so now that I see all these members lining up behind her, we jumped in and I have now over a dozen members of the RNC actively making phone calls with me to help whip the votes. There are only a 160 voters in this election. I'm one of them and I will be voting for change and voting for myself. And so the job is to convince people who are supporting Rana, as well as people who are undecided to support me. And I'm happy to say that her numbers are going down and our numbers are going up. And now that it's a competitive horse race, some folks who are willing to support her because there was no choice, have kept an open mind, and they want to see which way the wind blows. That is, you know, it's not exactly profiles and courage in some way. And so we're trying to encourage people to actually get off the fence

Mark Meckler: Big Trouble in the House, RNC
"We're watching the House speaker vote again, you guys have commissioned a survey with the Trafalgar group, and you've determined that there's big trouble, not just in the house, but also in the RNC, and we understand only 6% of Republican voters want ronna mcdaniel to stay in office. Yeah, that's correct. I mean, people are pretty frustrated. And I think that's fair. You have 73 and a half percent of Republicans say that the party should elect somebody new to serve as chair of the RNC. And I think this is really important. When you have failed leadership and failed leadership is demonstrated by poor results and everybody would agree the results of the midterm elections were poor compared to what was expected, then usually the people at the top step away. And it's literally only in politics where you see people fail and then stay in their position or actually get a better position. So I think this is an incredible that you've got a woman who's failed repeatedly in the elections to produce good results and she still believes she deserves that share and I think the American people feel otherwise.

The Hill: McCarthy Is Reaching Out to Democrats for Speaker Support
"Where we're at. This just in, from the hill, and this, what I'm about to read to you is going to explain Kevin McCarthy in a nutshell. Again, I never met the man. And let me back up for a moment. Back when I was at Fox News channel, one of the first people we reached out to was Kevin McCarthy, to be a guest on the show. And we have had lots of people over the years on this program. Mike Pompeo, Mike Pence, president Trump multiple times. Just about every major member of Congress has been on my show even ronna mcdaniel has been on the show. Kevin McCarthy was the one guy who refused to come on refused to come on to this program. And from what I was told, the reason why is, because I had been critical at times of some of the things McCarthy had done. And he did not want to be subjected to any sort of ambush or any sorts of difficult questions. Well, if you've listened to this program for any amount of time, you know that we don't do the ambush stuff here. We just don't play that game. I know some people do it, and that's their stick, and that's good. Whatever. But we don't do that here. And it always bothered me that McCarthy would not sit down for an interview. Because something was just not right there. And I had heard a lot of stories about McCarthy over the years, and I just dismissed them. But I will say this, his behavior in recent days has given me pause. But this news Justin, that Kevin McCarthy has reached out to Democrats. And he's talking with the Democrats about a deal to support a consensus candidate for speaker.

Steve Deace: The Establishment Would Rather Lose to Democrats Than Power
"Ronna mcdaniel I'm really done with her If you don't have to comment you know why she was on Fox during the break with the same bowl I'm just tired of hearing about they don't have a plan No they do have a plan They're plan is we need to move the country back to fiscal solvency liberty oriented direction and move the freedom train back to the station and we don't think McCarthy's our guy So we're going to hold it up until the more conservative option steps up and if they don't then we'll stick with the only thing we got which is McCarthy That's a plan It may not be a plan you like because they don't kiss your ass but it sounds like a plan to me I mean I don't really I don't understand It's like Steve your take on the talking to Steve days by the way folks Check out his podcast Steve the thing is if ronna mcdaniel and the establishment wing of the party if they had a track record of success and said trust us I would say you know what I'm gonna take a flyer on this guys You got past pro life legislation You gotta balance budget amendment pass You got our military back up to full strength You got China on the run We got fair trade along with free trade agreements going Steve they don't have a single legislative success The establishment wing outside of tax cuts which is a great I love tax cuts but Democrats want those too because they move out of California and New York to get them They say they don't own publicity Just what have you shown us There's no record of success at all I'm sorry I'm not going to take a flyer on it I can't say it better than you did except to add this The people that run the Republican Party for many years would rather lose elections to Democrats than lose control to audiences like ours Period
Bloomberg Radio New York
"ronna mcdaniel" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Rick, the Republican Party, which is having a little bit of tussle at the top. Ronna mcdaniel is trying to get reelected. And as she's being opposed, evidently because she's not conservative enough, which came as a little bit of a surprise to me at least. Yeah, I mean, this one's pretty amazing because just at a time when her track record could not look more dismal, there are a couple of candidates, including my pillow CEO, who make it look even worse. I mean, they have no political experience. They don't really bring any particular fundraising capability to the table. And so she's pressured to address the concerns that they have over the fact that she hasn't been adhering enough to Donald Trump, which is a shock to most. Look, she's got a lot of support within the National Committee. This National Committee over her four terms has basically changed to be people that she knows and likes and the likes her. So it's still going to take a big rock to move this committee away from ronna mcdaniel. But the longer this goes, the worse it's going to look for her because obviously there's been a lot of campaigns to discredit her. And that's not ending today. Yeah, and the Republicans having an awful lot of difficulty choosing leaders from this speaker to the head of the Republican Party. And the reality for Ronald mcdaniel is that she has been presiding over a party that has not been performing well. And so they should be taking a second look at her and they should be focusing on putting somebody in place who could have a winning strategy for the party. But the problem is I think of it sort of like choosing the prime minister in England. She just has to appeal to that committee. She gets enough of those votes. They will keep her in the problem is she's going to lose moderates and independents on the ground. And so for the Republican Party as a whole, it puts them in a position that is not very healthy as they go into 24 and the real fear for many moderate Republicans is that she is beholden to Donald Trump and has been for some time. And so they see her as sort of a danger in that respect, and I'll tell you from the Democrats perspective, the more Donald Trump, the more random mcdaniel in place, the better they feel about somebody like Joe Biden's chances in 24. At the same time, I mean, your political science professor, and George Washington was concerned the parties would get too powerful. Are they powerful enough right now? Because we can say what we want with the Republican Party, look at what the Democratic Party did in the state of New York, and the congressional election. That's right. You know, in my view, they are not powerful enough. The problem is they are too weak. The leadership is too weak in Congress. We are seeing that. You've got on the Republican side, you know, potential speaker who can't Garner the votes. It's very difficult to control these caucuses. And in a democracy like ours that's so separated, you need strong parties in order to surmount all of the divisions in government and do things like past comprehensive immigration reform, pass campaign finance reform without that, we all suffer. And so we need two strong political parties that are healthy. We don't have that on either side in this point. Rick, what say you, do the parties need to get stronger? Yeah, the parties are weak, partly because of the changes in campaign finance that my boss, my old boss, John McCain, was party two. We took a lot of the money out of the committees. The problem is it went other places that are less transparent. And we're seeing the negative effects of those black money operations all around. I think a combination of new campaign finance reform so that parties

Judge Tosses Kari Lake Election Lawsuit
"We also now have a selected governor of Arizona, the governor select is Katie Hobbs. Guys, listen, here's what I did over the weekend. All right, because listen, I'm a political nerd. So I enjoyed my Christmas. No doubt about it with my family, but I also took the time to do my civic duty and I went to court, Carl, what do you mean I went to court? Well, I watched the Carrie Lake trial the reruns, if you will. Guys, she won. She won. The evidence was so freaking overwhelming. It was unbelievable to me and Carl Carl, you're just saying that, of course, you're gonna say Carrie Lake one. No, guys, from chain of custody to the 19 inch ballots, if you will, being printed on 20 inch paper, causing disruptions, causing mass backups where people were leaving the scene, did the attorneys argue it correctly. Listen, I don't know. I heard Kurt schlichter earlier sitting in for doctor golka and he talked about the procedure and the process and how he knew that Carrie Lake was going to lose because of the procedure. Jennifer van laar wrote a column and perhaps we'll have to get her on this week the damage that RNC chair ronna mcdaniel mcdaniel did. I don't understand why the hell we weren't in. Swing states fighting, fighting like hell to make sure Democrats couldn't cheat.

Monica Crowley: Supporting Harmeet Dhillon for RNC Chair
"I've come out publicly in support of harmony Dylan to be the new RNC chair against Ronald mcdaniel. I had to run my podcast last week. We had a fantastic interview. I've known her a little bit over the years and she is just brilliant. She's an attorney. She's an attorney for our causes, which, you know, the Democrats on the left have fleets of lawyers on every cause from elections to the environment to you name it. And our side has a handful. Well, harmeet is one in that handful of lawyers and she actually puts her money where her mouth is. So she will be a consummate fighter for America first. She will be completely responsive and representative of the Republican voting base, which we have not had. I mean, ronna mcdaniel is the lovely person, but she's been in there for 6 years. She does not have a record of success. In fact, the exact opposite. And now what's being exposed between Lee zeldin, who was going to run for RNC chair, but decided against it. But between he and what they're exposing is that the RNC process is just as corrupt as anything we talk about with the Democrats with the political back scratching and the self dealing and all of the money and favors being doled out over the years so that all of these people become locks. Once they get into these positions, we can not attack Joe Biden and the Democrats for this kind of corruption when we've got it on our side. That's number one. And number two, we really need leadership on the GOP side because the hour is very late in America, Todd. And so we need people who understand the nature of the threat that we are facing from within and they're not part of the absolute inherent corruption in this country. We need people who get it and who are not in on it. And that's our meat in my view.
The Dinesh D'Souza Podcast
The RNC's Ronna McDaniel Has Been a Disastrous Failure
"Contest for who is going to head the Republican National Committee the RNC is now in full swing. And it looks like rona mcdaniel is, although in the lead, the lead that she established right at the beginning, losing momentum, which is a very good thing. Why? Because rona mcdaniel has been a disastrous failure, failure in 2018, failure in 2020, failure in 2022, so I mean, three strikes on your outro now. But nevertheless, early on, rona was able to corral our RNC members and let's remember the RNC is a little bit of a crony operation because if you're in with rona, rona can hand out favors your way, consultancy is contracts. We'll have the convention, your city, and we're going to learn in a moment the way in which the RNC wastes your money, wastes the money of donors. And this alone, I think, is disqualifying for rona mcdaniel. Well, last count I saw well at the beginning it seemed like Ronald mcdaniel had this locked up more than a hundred RNC members have announced their support for rona mcdaniel. Well, that's apparently been slipping. So right now, at least at the last count I saw, and I'm not doing the counting. I'm just reporting on the counting that I see. From credible sources, that rona has about 80 votes so far. 80 people who say who say they're going to vote for rona. Harmony Dylan is running against rona has about 50. And a couple of the other candidates, I think Mike lindell is also running, have smaller numbers. But harmony appears to have emerged as the main threat, the main challenge to rona mcdaniel. And it looks to me like if RNC members wanted to stay along with the base and recognize what the ordinary person on the street, the ordinary Republican who is always asked to do this and asked a volunteer and asked to give money. If you want to consult those people, I think those people have had enough of rona mcdaniel.

What Has the RNC Been Spending Money On?
"Now we have ronna mcdaniel, and according to red state, they've been given a report that has examined the RNC's spending for 2021. Are you ready for this folks? This is what your money. If you've been giving money to the RNC, if you've been giving money to the Republican Party, this is what that money has been used for. More than a half a $1 million in private jets. $64,000 at clothing stores. $321,000 in floral arrangements. This is pretty remarkable. Food and beverage $65,000. Alcohol, $36,000, kind of thought that would be higher. Spa and cosmetics, $7500, is that how much it costs for lipstick and powder over at the Walmart? Vehicle and other maintenance expenses $4900, and something called LGBTQ+ filings, $1200 and 67 cents. That's rather a specific amount. Now, this is pretty fascinating because they were able to go back through and just take a look at what ronna mcdaniel has been spending over at RNC headquarters since she said she took charge. $3.1 million on private jet services since 2017. $1.3 million on limousine service, $17.1 million on donor mementos. Is that the stuff you get like the swag is that that must be what that's about. $17.1 million.

Eric Is Joined by American Hero Mike Lindell
"Lindell, my friend, welcome. Thanks, Eric, premium. Well, listen, you give me and a lot of people hope because of the stand you've taken in this country, you understand the battle we're in. And you have been fighting and fighting and fighting. And of course, the mainstream media, including Fox, they don't really cover what you are doing. And so we're living in a weird world because if you're, if you're Mike lyndell, you're living in a world that you can not imagine that most of the country, it's being filtered out, what you and others are doing to fight for liberty to fight for this country to fight for election integrity. So one of the reasons the main reason, frankly, that I have you on, is to talk about that. So first, let's talk about the RNC. We all know ronna mcdaniel, she's not just ineffective. She doesn't share the values of most America, loving, Republicans, she's the niece of senator for giving. Mitt Romney and we are hoping and praying that she's removed from the leadership of the RNC and replaced. I know there are a number of people that have thrown their hats in the ring. You threw your pillow in the ring to quote my friend Albin sadar. So tell us about this because most of us were not involved in politics at this level. What is going on? Well, it was about a month ago, actually when I at the end of November, when I was big donors came to me and they're saying, you know what? We're not going to put money in the RNC. We're done. And they were telling me their reasons why. But everybody knows the reasons why the leadership, Ronald mcdaniel, let's just look at her great 2018 F 2020 election F 2021 runoff in Georgia F 2022 F, front off in Georgia F 5 F's. You got 5 F's and so, but one of the things I've looked at, the RNC, everybody, they have what's called standing. And no judges have looked at anything because they kick it out on standing. The RNC has standing. And they collected money from big donors and a lot of elections. But the biggest one was the 2020 election.
The Eric Metaxas Show
Can Ronna McDaniel Be Replaced? Kevin McCullough Weighs In
"Really hope ronna mcdaniel is replaced as the head of the RNC. Do you think that can happen? I don't know. I was discouraged to see Lee zeldin step out of the race yesterday and part of the rationale that he explained as to why he wasn't going to do it is he said that it appears prebaked into the equation that she is going to be reelected. You know, if you lose in cycle after cycle after cycle, Nancy Pelosi, she doesn't get to be Speaker of the House, but she's not going to get to be the leader of her party in Congress anymore because she lost. That should hold true for Republicans, too. And we did not have a good election cycle. There are some people blaming the president for pushing candidates that were less than optimal. But I think that fresh leadership, new direction, and certainly a better ability to actually put strategy into play would be something that I would love to see come along.

"ronna mcdaniel" Discussed on The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
"The only way to let them know is to fire them. I want to conclude by talking about a story that just broke. It was announced that the three most politically toxic people in America, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and John fetterman are going to quote campaign together today. I think this is an effort to show that the president is on the campaign trail and the vice president is on it. And no one wants them, except the doom campaign, but I do not underestimate what the triple toxicity politically of those three can do. I hope there are cameras and microphones because you put those three together and they could say anything wrong. Well, maybe they can get a full sentence out. I think John drew the short straw that one, right? Yes. Got together and said, which one of us has to campaign with Biden? Yes. He said, I've lost a bring him up here. I'm done. I'm toast up, put some butter on it. Between the two of us, we may be able to finish it all since. I don't know. It's really bad. It's really bad. So bad. And nobody wants Biden. Nobody's asking for amenities candidates want them out there is approval incredibly low and great. Put them in Pennsylvania. I think that helps us and the whole ticket. I really do think it triple toxicity when it comes to politics. All right. Let's do it. Get out your hazmat suit, right? There will not be one other candidate near that rally unless it's a doomed candidate. It's like the legion of doom getting together. Ronna mcdaniel, let's talk about batting and bunning and stealing bases. The fundamentals of election day. What does the RNC do? We are the get out the vote machine. So Hugh, you know this. We have had the largest operation we've ever put together. We have made 80 million voter contacts and right now we are out knocking doors and in neighborhoods that we know saying, hey, you have an absentee ballot or you haven't voted yet or can I talk to you about this candidate that I know that I was just with. And it's the biggest single way you can give out is by talking to someone you know. And we're doing that through our volunteers and I encourage everyone listening to you to do that on their own. The only way people change votes usually is that they talk to somebody who gives them the facts and they trust that person and that's how we make a difference. And if you've got the last $10 and you want it spent wisely, send it to the GOP because you've got the, you've got everything on your radar, right? You know where the most need is. I'm actually moving money today. So every day we're looking at money and races that are coming online or where we're expanding the map right now. We're at the map is actually expanding for us. So we don't want to leave seats that we could win on the table. So this is that time where if you send us resources, we're going to invest it wisely to bring candidates across that nobody expected to win. That's the focus. GOP dot com. Ronna mcdaniel, thank you.

"And that's how we make change. We got to show up. Make sure you vote in Colorado, Joe. Come back, give us an update next week. Thank you for joining us on the website again, Joe. It's Joe O'Day dot com dot com. Thanks again for having me on. Always a pleasure, friend. Be well. Don't go to your American come right back because ronna mcdaniel, chairman of the gym. Welcome back America. I am you, you're at live inside the beltway. I have no idea where Republican national chairwoman ronna mcdaniel is this morning because she's been everywhere. And I'm doing a great job everywhere. She goes, good morning, madam chairwoman. Where are you? Good morning. I actually have a day at home in Michigan, and then I had to Wisconsin and Ohio tomorrow, D.C., New York, the list goes on and on. Lots of events in the next week. All right, since you're in Michigan, let's start with Tudor Dixon and the worst governor in America, Gretchen Whitmer. Gretchen Whitmer lied into the camera and said that Michigan schools had only been closed three months. Did that matter to Wolverine state voters? Absolutely, it did. And enraged people like me because my kids weren't in school full-time for a year and a half. I have a son who's a senior right now. So he started high school as a freshman, got locked down. Didn't go back to school and full-time until he was a junior. And the stress, the anxiety of having to apply for college and losing that learning and the deficit. I had it in my home. Parents around the state had it and Gretchen Whitmer turned her back on us. So for her to stand on that debate stage and be smug and lie about the kids that she left behind. I think enraged a lot of parents myself included. Okay, let's skip over to New York. You know, Lee's elden, you know, Lee zeldin was attacked by a man with a knife on the campaign stage. And the accidental governor Kathy hochul said, I don't know why you get upset about crime. What is wrong with these Democrats? Do they want to suffer the most lopsided loss in history, which is, I think, where you're guiding the Republican victory towards. Yeah, I think they feel very comfortable lying. And they don't give the voters enough credit. Everybody knows that crime is rampant in New York. Nobody wants to go on the subway. We know that they have cashless bail where police arrest a violent criminal who's back on the street the next day, which is completely demoralizing to the men and women in uniform. Democrats own the crime wave. They own the border, the open border, they own the drugs coming across. They own the inflation. They own the gas prices. They own the deficit that our kids have in school. They own it all. And then they have the audacity to stand in front of us and say, there's nothing to see here. Everything's great. No family in America feels that way. Let's go to the third grade. The third grade collapse, the fetterman inflection. That made many people angry not just because John federman had been lying to people about his ability to the job. But the media had been covering up for it. And I really think he hurt not just the other radicals out there Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin and Raphael Warnock and every Democrat. I think he hurt every legacy media outlet that is not been telling the truth about him, ronna mcdaniel. Do you agree? And by all means, now you're wrong. Tell me what you think. Yeah, obviously. I mean, let's look at the media. They were radio silent, crickets all night during that debate because they had nothing to say to excuse betterment. But the fact that he debated so late, the fact that he did his medical records the fact that he continues to hide his medical records. If this were a Republican, this would be wall to wall coverage. The media would be calling on him to step aside. So their hypocrisies on full display, but what's worse about betterment or his policy? This is a radical. He is left of Bernie Sanders. This is a scary guy. We can not have him in the Senate with what he believes with crime, cashless bail, letting prisoners out. I mean, this is a very frightening person. And we need to get Oz over the edge. I'd say everybody go to GOP dot com. You can support us in these final days to get out the vote. That's what we're focused on or go to vote. GOP to make sure you get out tomorrow. Now I'm going to go through the mechanics of the TV in a second, get out the vote efforts. I had general bulldog on earlier. And I brought him on because yesterday, Rick Scott told me that, believe it or not, dick blumenthal in Connecticut is running into trouble, so that means up north in New Hampshire, the granite state. That's real conservatism up there. Bulldog is tied. None of us saw that. There's a landslide going on. What do you attribute to it? Chairwoman mcdaniel. Yeah, I was with general Doc, the day after he won the nomination, I went to New York, we did a unity event with the governor with Caroline levitt. I think he can win that race. He needs investment. He does resources are going to be a factor in that race. And kudos to Rick Scott for putting money in there in the R and C is obviously in there. I think the American people are waking up in the summer, they're not paying attention and in the fall, they start dialing into the issues. And what are the issues that are resonating? The economy. Everybody's waking up going to the grocery store. They know it costs more. They know gas costs more. They go home, heating cost more. It's just a fact. And they know the Democrats are the cause of it with their policies. So Democrats are trying to distract and talk about abortion abortion abortion and voters are saying no. You own this the economy, the crime, the border, the drugs, the deficits. These are the things that we care about. And you haven't fixed it and so we're going to fire you. You know, I'm going to be doing election night coverage with the Salem news channel and I'll do the early shift because I get up early the next morning. We won't know anybody about Arizona, probably till I come into the studio and probably on the following day. Carrie Lake is going to win easily. I've kind of felt bad for kitty hop. She's such a terrible candidate. But Kerry Lake is such a, I'll shake it off. Don't worry, brother. But he's so bad. And I think she's killing Mark Kelly's chances and Blake master has hit stride. So I think Washington state Colorado in Arizona certainly Nevada. I had Adam wax on today. He's going to win. But what do you think about those western states? I think they're all coming online. I think the movement's going our way, you know, elections are about peaking at the right time. And we started to peak when early voting and at the voting started and then we are election day voters, Republicans are election day voters. I would love people to go vote in person early right now and then sign up to be a poll watcher, but I think Carrie Lake is going to win. And she's been a coattail. But the other thing about the Blake master story, who flake masters is a great candidate is you've got three House candidates in Arizona, one, Eli crane, and Kelly Cooper that are running great raises. These are potential flips and Arizona. So the whole ticket in Arizona is working together. And that's why I think things are working really well. All right, I want to go to my old home. I left Orange County in 2016 to come back here to take over for the retiring Bill Bennett. And I miss Orange County. I love Irvine. I loved everything about it. Scott ba has been my friend for 30 years. He will make a great congresswoman. Kathy, Porter is an embarrassment to California, and she got $20 million. I think she's gonna lose. Am I right? Katie Porter? I was just with Scott boss, Scott bob, Brian Mary Michelle Steele, the whole Orange County crew young Kim is a great candidate too, but Scott boss is going against Katie Porter Katie Porter's a liar. She attacked the Irvine police department. She's a professor who makes her students by her books. So she can make money. I mean, she really is a shameful candidate and Scott boss running a great race. Those are two pickups that we can have an Orange County with Scott Bond Brian Brian Marriott. And I think if we have a good night, those are candidates that will come online on top of some of the candidates in Northern California as well. Okay, I want to finish in the very far northwest corner. Washington state is weird. Yeah. Yeah, talk to me about it. It's a weird. I'm on in Seattle right now. We're talking to people going to work. They got to vote by mail. What do you think? Yeah, they have to vote by mail. I mean, Tiffany smiley is such an outstanding person, okay? Let's take away candidates. She's an outstanding person. And she has fought for her husband and she will fight for Washington. And what we see in Seattle and some of these radical cities with the crime and what they've done with these drug sites and things like that. Tiffany smiley is there to represent those folks. So I think she's doing great. I think Matt Larkin, who's running in Washington 8 and Kim schreier district, that's a potential pickup. And then you've got Joe Kent, obviously that we need to hold. So I think if everyone turns out, we can have a big surprise at night. Patti Murray is a disaster. And she says she doesn't feel any regret about these lockdowns on what's happened to these kids. So the only way you hold people accountable is to let them know when they do the job wrong. And that's firing them. And that's what needs to happen to Democrats across the country who are the cause of inflation, the cause of gas prices, the cause of crime, the cause of these border the border being opened the cause of drugs coming across our border in the cause of these lockouts..

"I'm Hugh Hewitt, live from studio north, joined by the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, ronna mcdaniel. Good morning, madam chair. Good to have you back. Good morning, always great to be with you. I want to begin with your town hall dot com column from last week. On top of worsening crime and inflation, newly released custom and border protection data shows that more than 2 million illegal immigrants have been caught crossing the border over the last year, a number is historic he wrote. It's just a fraction of the more than 4.4 million illegal immigrants who have crossed the border since Biden came into office, including 850,000 got aways from escaped undetected into our country. Chairwoman mcdaniel, how often does the border come up in the campaigns that you are helping across the country? I say it's a top three or four issue. It depends on which state if you're in Arizona or Nevada or Texas it's a number one issue. I think people are horrified that the Biden administration has let the border be unsecure and the big issue I think people are talking about is the drugs. The fat and all that's coming across. Everyone I know or everyone I talk to has come across somebody who's been impacted by this fentanyl crisis that is ravaging our country right now. And especially this new rainbow fentanyl has a lot of parents concerned heading into the Halloween holiday. Yeah, indeed, they're going to have to check their kids candy very, very close. I can't imagine the kind of malice that would require, but mistakes get made. And boy, that would be a deadly one. So chairwoman mcdaniel, I have always said, I say, again and again on this show, whenever I show up on Brett bear's show, the issue set for Republicans are inflation, crime, the border education in that order, then China. I tell everyone, don't vote for a single school board member about whom you are not absolutely certain that they will keep schools open and masking voluntary and who will not campaign against well, how big is that last issue, even though it's not typically a federal issue, I see it now showing up in conversations with campaigns and candidates. Oh, it's a big issue. I was just in California. Campaigning for Scott bob and Brian Marriott in Orange County and the big issue I heard about all across the state was the school board races. And in Michigan, it's a big issue. I think a lot of parents, especially in the lockdown state. Not as much in the states where they were open where we had Republican governors like Florida and Iowa and across the country. But the lockdown states like Michigan and California, Nevada, it's a big issue, school board is because I think parents finally realized the impact on these kids and the power that the school boards had to shut our schools down to mask our kids up..

"Now, Democrat do want to talk about nothing but abortion. I'm very happy with the Dobbs decision. It returns the decision to the state legislatures where it ought to be California is not going to be Ohio is not going to be Connecticut is not going to be Florida. I think the Florida compromise may in fact end up being the majority position of state legislatures, but I don't know. But I also don't believe Democrats are going to gain because voters are smart. They know this is no longer a federal issue. Yeah, it's going to be returned to the voters, voters will make the decision what's best for their state through their legislature. And like you said, Mississippi is different than California. And by the way, nothing's changed in California. California, you can still go get an abortion on a baby's due date, which I think most Americans absolutely believe that there should be limitations. And that is where the Democrat party refuses to engage. They can not say when is it enough when should there be a limitation? Don't you think the day that the baby can be born when someone can adopt that baby that it is a life that it is feeling pain that we shouldn't be allowing abortion. Choice is over at that point. And Democrats won't engage. And it's going to end up being a compromise and consensus across every state, but it is a Tenth Amendment issue and it should not have been adjudicated at the Supreme Court level. Let me close my time about the media with the Iran mcdaniel. I'm looking at an NBC story by Henry Gomez, pretty good reporter. Then John Allen, Natasha korecki, sahil kapur and Adam Edelman. And the rest of those are all lefties. And it's just nuts. It's like they were doing peyote last night. They say the Republicans are in trouble in the Senate and they had a summer slump. Doctor Oz has closed. As you mentioned, Joe, they it's closed Blake masters as close Herschel Walker as a head and two poles and I don't care about the specifics of polls that only direction because they never pull Republicans correctly. This is just nuts, but the media will not relent. I don't expect them to relent a minute in the next 63 days. No, because they're trying to depress fundraising for Republicans. And increased optimism for their Democrat candidates, like fetterman, who's a socialist. So what I would say to everyone listening, go give to JD Vance and Oz and Herschel and Adam laxalt and Ted bud and Tiffany smiling and Joe O'Day. And support these candidates. And Blake masters, you forgot one. Blake Matthews. I'm sorry I forgot Blake Blake, I'm going to be with who's doing a great job. But we have great candidates and the media setting up this narrative because they wanted to press fundraising. The one place they do have an advantage is fundraising. So everyone needs to get out $5, $10, whatever you can do to support these candidates. It will help them absolutely get their message across and win these races. Ronna mcdaniel, thank you, keep coming back at GOP chairwoman. If you want to follow Rana and you've got to follow her, she keeps up a travel schedule, unlike any other for the next 60 days at GOP chairwoman on Twitter. Thank you, ronna.
