00:00:42.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:51.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:35.000I went at the beginning of the interview because he's showing footage from a speech I gave five years ago.
00:02:40.000That speech is really difficult for me to watch because it takes a lot of courage to talk about being sexually assaulted, to be taught, to talk about being a survivor of rape.
00:02:50.000That's not easy to do, especially in a very public forum where you know you're going to get attacked afterwards.
00:03:54.000Did they give you a heads up, Congresswoman, that this was going to be the entire interview, that you were going to be speaking about your personal history?
00:04:10.000I'd rather have that debate in person.
00:04:12.000And there was not a single mention that they were going to make this the crux of the interview.
00:04:18.000And, you know, we're talking to a guy that was part of the Clinton crew.
00:04:22.000Right in the 90s covering up so many allegations of of sexual impropriety, sexual assault, sexual crime, sexual trauma against women that made allegations against Bill Clinton.
00:04:32.000So the the irony here is that he did this and we coined it rape shaming, right, he rape shamed me this sunday, on this week, and then to see the left come out in defense of all of this uh was really astonishing.
00:04:44.000But thank goodness for the right and for conservatives that saw it for what it was and independent women in suburban areas that thought it was really disgusting what he did.
00:04:53.000But this, the third thing, the next thing, is that what he said about Donald Trump was is false.
00:04:58.000Donald Trump has not been convicted of rape, not in a criminal court, not in a, not in a civil case um, and so that's not what that judgment was about either, and I think that he opened himself and ABC NEWS and ABC this week up to uh huge liabilities and if I were Donald Trump, i'd be suing him.
00:05:16.000So let's, let's talk about the reaction to it.
00:05:21.000You know there's been a lot of attempts uh recently, and for good reason, for example, you know, with senator Katie Britt.
00:05:27.000I think it was a good intention to try to win over suburban women.
00:05:30.000I'm sure you get asked this question all the time congresswoman, and yet the Democrat party, who enjoys right now a, let's say, a competitive advantage with suburban female voters, they're the ones that are cheering on the kind of attacking of your personal history.
00:05:48.000And then secondly, what do Republicans need to do to do better with this now very uh, let's say, competitive group of suburban women?
00:06:00.000Well, the first thing that I would say with the get with this, is that i've received death threats since this all happened um, i've mostly obviously, from the far left, from progressives, from people who have lost their ever freaking mind uh, that have decided that, since George Stephanopoulos attacked and bullied a and shamed a rape victim, that they too can do that.
00:06:20.000So our phones have been lighting up emails, messages etc.
00:06:25.000And including even a few death threats.
00:06:27.000The words that people are using to attack me are really disgusting, and the worst part of it too Charlie, is that I had my daughter, my underage daughter, who's 14.
00:06:39.000She had to sit through this interview and listen to the way, the barrage of questions, the bullying that this man uh was taking me on about my own vic, my own uh issues and trauma that I had when I was raped.
00:06:51.000My daughter's very well aware of this story, but to hear and watch a man from the left do this, as progressive bully, me live on air like that was, was deeply troubling for her and for me as a mom.
00:07:02.000Having to have this conversation with her in the car on the way to the airport Was troubling.
00:07:07.000And now I have to have another conversation with my family about the death threats that we have received in the last 48 hours.
00:07:13.000But anyone can go on to X and see these leftists, these progressives who tell you that they support women attacking a woman who's been raped.
00:07:23.000And they've made memes, the words that they use, four-letter words, it's really disgusting.
00:07:28.000And when the left shows you who they are, when they tell you who they are, suburban women everywhere need to believe them.
00:07:35.000And we've heard from so many people, conservatives, Republicans, but even left-of-center women, suburban women, that were really offended by the line of questioning and the way that I was treated and bullied by ABC on Sunday.
00:07:48.000What issue set do you think Republicans need to embrace or do better to win over more women and female voters?
00:07:55.000Well, let's take the Alabama ruling with IVF.
00:08:40.000And even my conservative governor in South Carolina, Henry McMaster, with a Republican bill when Roe v. Wade was overturned, they signed a bill that would allow women to get the pill at their pharmacy, not having to go to the OBGYN.
00:08:53.000And so it's small steps that make a big difference.
00:08:56.000And, you know, not screaming at the left, but showing them how compassionate we are.
00:09:01.000Nobody on, you know, no Democrat or left-of-center person, I believe, doesn't want to see the vast majority of them.
00:09:07.000They don't want to see abortion up until birth.
00:09:09.000And so talking about how Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have no limits.
00:09:13.000They won't answer the question when they're asked by media, what are your limits on abortion?
00:09:19.000And reminding left-of-center suburban women that the left is okay with this until birth and in some cases after birth, because we've seen states like Virginia, for example, that have gone in and tried to do post-birth abortion legislation.
00:09:33.000And so just reminding people how compassionate the conservative messages and conservative position really can be is, I think, most important.
00:11:09.000Raising taxes will not fix the problem that we have in this country.
00:11:12.000But I have to tell you, Charlie, it's not just Joe Biden that has created this problem with the inflation and the spending that we have, but we've got Republicans who have supported out-of-control spending for years, if not decades now.
00:11:24.000And it's time to have an honest-to-God conversation about how we're going to get ourselves out of the debt hole that we have right now.
00:11:31.000Over the last 200 days, we have seen the debt go up by $2 trillion.
00:11:36.000Every 100 days, we were adding a trillion dollars to the debt.
00:11:41.000And in fact, it was just last year when the disgraced former speaker, Kevin McCarthy, put together that awful debt ceiling bill that actually had no ceiling to the debt.
00:11:49.000And for every good idea in there on the next page, there was a loophole for supplemental aid, supplemental spending, all the spending in the world with holding no one and neither side accountable.
00:12:03.000And nobody ever held to account because they're saddling our children and our grandchildren with all of this debt over the next 10, 20, 50 years for their lifetime if we don't get a hold of this.
00:12:14.000What is it going to take to culturally change DC so that spending can become a priority again?
00:12:19.000Because you're right, the vast majority of Republicans and Democrats have no concern that we owe significantly more than the GDP of our country.
00:12:31.000What is it going to take to change that culture?
00:12:34.000It's going to take the grassroots winning elections to get fiscal conservatives, true, tried and true fiscal conservatives elected to Congress.
00:12:51.000I won't do it now as a member of Congress.
00:12:53.000But ensuring that we elect people who are willing to make the tough decisions, who are willing to take the tough votes and take all of the attacks and ammunition that gets thrown your way, we don't go along to get along with the Republican Party or Democrats on spending issues.
00:13:21.000It's a reasonable way to balance the budget, to get our spending under control.
00:13:25.000But getting them to take a movement on anything like that or a balanced budget amendment is damn near impossible up here right now with the makeup of Congress.
00:14:02.000I'll be with different factions of the Republican Party.
00:14:04.000And I've been in conversations where the Freedom Caucus has said, hey, we're willing to do something short-term here, but you've got to be responsible to spend either cut spending or attach HR2, for example, to a spending bill so that we can move this country forward safer, more secure, more prosperous.
00:14:21.000And then at the same time, at the same table, you'll see a different faction of our own Republican Party say, nope, we're not going to do that.
00:14:28.000And so we have this behind the scenes, behind closed doors, a circular firing squad where you have Republicans that want to use spending to get, you know, use immigration, for example, border security to as a wedge to get more spending for endless wars, like in Ukraine, for example.
00:14:43.000I mean, I've seen this stuff going behind the scenes, and we're our own worst enemy a lot of times.
00:14:48.000Yeah, I just, it is incredibly irritating.
00:14:51.000Final question here, and it's okay if you don't have an answer.
00:14:54.000Who do you think would be a good vice president for Donald Trump?
00:14:59.000Oh, goodness, that'll be his decision.
00:15:00.000I've heard a lot of great names over the last couple of weeks, and I look forward to seeing who he picks.
00:15:06.000So, and final question, Nancy, are you in cycle right now with your primary race, or how is it working with your current competitors?
00:15:14.000And you have a very, I believe, tight district.
00:15:49.000If you want to beat Kevin McCarthy, if you want to beat a Republican in the primary that thinks that it's not okay to call illegals illegal on the same day, Joe Biden apologized for calling Lake and Raleigh's murderer and illegal.
00:16:00.000My Kevin McCarthy recruited opponent did the same thing and apologized for it.
00:17:23.000So check it out right now, andrewandTodd.com.
00:17:27.000So as you know, as you remember, many of you, at Turning Point Action, we have made it a top priority for regime change at the RNC.
00:17:34.000Again, we're not taking credit for anything.
00:17:35.000It was a lot of different groups that were working on it, a lot of different voices, but we made it a primary fixation about the lack of investment, the poor spending, the waste within the RNC.
00:18:41.000In fact, they thought that the noise would just pass.
00:18:43.000They thought that they could force Rana in in Dana Point last year and that, you know, people would keep on giving money and everything would be fine and people would forget.
00:18:52.000And mind you, we kind of, we didn't drop the issue, but once Rana won her term in Dana Point, which she won, she had more insiders and cronies in Dana Point last year at the RNC winter meeting.
00:19:07.000We didn't make, we didn't really mention it for three to six months.
00:19:10.000We, you know, we take some shots at the RNC should be doing this, not doing that.
00:19:14.000But they brought this upon themselves.
00:19:17.000The lack of investment in Arizona, the lack of investment in Wisconsin, the lack of investment in Georgia.
00:19:24.000And so when new finance reports came out and showed that they were still spending all this money on flowers and donor mementos and donor gifts, not to mention the track record of losing that continued.
00:19:36.000And what really amplified and I think invigorated many of you in this audience is when the RNC hosted all of these expensive debates with mainstream networks like NBC News, Univision, and they refused to meet with people like Scott Pressler when the RNC was more focused on planting negative stories against Charlie Kirk, against Tyler Boyer, against Turning Point,
00:20:05.000where they went out of their way to try and hurt groups that they should be allied with, where they start planting stories in the associated press, where they were planting stories in adversarial, combative media outlets.
00:20:20.000We said, wait a second, why is the RNC spending so much time?
00:21:38.000Trump team slashes staff at committee.
00:21:43.000Donald Trump's newly installed leadership team at the RNC on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to Trump campaign and the RNC.
00:21:54.000Over 60 people, over 60 people are expected to be fired, terminated, or asked to resign.
00:22:10.000There is a firing spree going on right now at the RNC.
00:22:15.000Sean Karinikross, the RNC's new COO, said the new committee leadership was, quote, in the process of evaluating the organization and staff to ensure the building is aligned with its vision.
00:22:26.000The overhaul is designed at cutting bureaucracy.
00:22:31.000Over 60 people are expected to be let go.
00:23:18.000Her last year had the worst fundraising year, 30 years inflation adjusted for the RNC.
00:23:25.000Trump and McDaniel have been longtime allies.
00:23:27.000The former president soured on the chairman because he felt she was not doing enough on voter integrity related issues and because she hosted Republican primary debates that he refused to participate in.
00:23:37.000Trump advisors have described the RNC structure as overly bloated and bureaucratic, which they believe has contributed to the party's cash woes.
00:23:46.000The RNC had about $8 million at the end of December cash on hand, while the Democrats had $24 million cash on hand.
00:23:55.000Under the new structure, the Trump campaign is looking to merge operations of the RNC.
00:23:59.000Key departments such as communications, data, and fundraising will effectively be one and the same.
00:24:17.000And the mission statement is very simple.
00:24:19.000Victory is the only option at the RNC.
00:24:22.000Not leaking stories to the press, not keeping your chairmanship, not the perks and not acting like it's some sort of incestuous country club, which is how Rana was running it.
00:24:31.000She was running it as if she wanted this permanent kind of, it's like she's running it as if she was like an ambassador to the Turks in Caicos or something, as if it was just some sort of a cush job and you just got to keep the people happy.
00:24:52.000It was her rule and just to kind of, at least you keep 60 to 70% of the voting members happy, throw a little money here, a little building fund here, a little state deal here.
00:25:18.000And President Trump deserves huge praise here for coming in straight to the RNC.
00:25:23.000They even say that vendor relationships are being cut.
00:25:28.000Also, the expectation is more that 60, more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political communications and data departments will be let go.
00:25:36.000You just got to ask the question, what were they doing?
00:25:40.000If Trump can come in and his team and cut 60 RNC staffers, ramping up for a presidential year, what were these people doing exactly?
00:25:53.000Running opposition research on turning point, maybe.
00:25:57.000Creating relationships with mainstream reporters.
00:26:01.000You got to wonder, what are those 60 people doing?
00:26:03.000Trump comes in and says, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired.
00:26:05.000By the way, this also should give you some excitement of how Trump is going to govern the executive branch on day one.
00:26:13.000This should give you some excitement that RNC first, FBI next.
00:26:56.000The RNC should say we are opening three field offices, one in Maricopa County.
00:27:01.000And by the way, we would be thrilled to have the RNC open a field office in Maricopa County, not some sort of victory thing, an actual RNC staffed field office.
00:27:09.000Boom, Waukesha County, number two, Fulton County or Cobb County or Gwinnett, pick whichever one.
00:30:25.000This was at a time, by the way, when Mitt is like writing op-eds about why Trump needs to be impeached.
00:30:30.000And remember that Mitt Romney comes right out of the gate when the first thing he did as a senator, that Mitt, you know, Mitt Romney, I said, holy crow, we got a problem here.
00:30:38.000And the big problem in 2020, I'm not going to say in 2020, the RNC was actively working against Trump, but in the politics, in politics, when you're talking about 10,000 votes here and 9,000 votes here and 20,000 votes here and 30,000 votes here, every ounce of energy matters.
00:30:56.000They're going to be the ones that stay up to 1 o'clock in the morning versus 11 to make sure that whatever project they're working on is perfect because a deep believer will give you that extra 5%.
00:32:37.000Every single decision, every single thing we are doing from now to November is a question, does it get it closer to us winning in November or further away?
