00:01:24.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:48.000Jack Pesobic did a great job filling in.
00:01:50.000I woke up very early after a long day of interviewing Governor Ron DeSantis, flew all the way across the country, Red Eye Flight, got a couple hours of sleep, got dressed up, and met Tyler Boyer, who will be joining us just a second in the lobby.
00:02:04.000And I saw some familiar faces and I started and I put on the best costume, if you will, of a lobbyist.
00:02:12.000Literally being in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria $900 a night hotel.
00:02:20.000And I began my charm offensive, shaking hands, asking questions, saying, Hey, who are you voting for?
00:02:25.000And I saw a fair amount of Harmeet Dylan and Mike Lindell folks.
00:02:28.000And before we go any further, both Harmeet Dylan and Mike Lindell's cause was the same.
00:02:33.000Meaning, they weren't working against one another.
00:02:35.000They were just trying to get Rana beneath the threshold.
00:02:37.000I saw Mike and I had a great conversation with him.
00:02:39.000Love Mike Lindell, and I love Harmeet.
00:02:40.000So the point is, were you supporting the current regime or not?
00:02:44.000And within a couple minutes, I realized I had entered a different planet.
00:02:49.000I'd entered a different realm of existence, Middle Earth, Narnia, whatever you want to call it.
00:02:56.000Disconnect would do far too much credit to what was happening in Dana Point, California at the Waldorf Astoria.
00:04:07.000But some people went as far to tell me that they thought that Rana was the best chair the RNC has ever had, that the November midterms is one of the best successes in recent memory.
00:04:18.000One member told me that it could not have gone any better, except for maybe a couple races that they blamed for candidate selection.
00:04:27.000They said, well, we can't have wackadoodles like Carrie Lake running around.
00:04:31.000It's a direct quote from one of the RNC members.
00:04:34.000So let me break this into a couple pieces, and I'm going to tell you some inside baseball that I think you need to know.
00:04:40.000You need to know actually some of the dynamics that were playing out in Dana Point, California.
00:04:45.000Now, before we go any further, I won no friends by being there.
00:04:49.000I had one very forceful RNC member come up to me, and it did end well because I had a heart for reconciliation, but he was not happy to see me.
00:04:57.000And he made it very clear, largely because I threatened, and we will make good on this promise, to remove RNC members that decided to defy their voters and stick a middle finger at a $900 a night resort while their constituents and their members can barely afford to put food on the table.
00:05:12.000Not exactly a recipe for a sustainable political party.
00:05:44.000I'm telling you, the folks I was talking to from Idaho and from some from South Dakota, from North Dakota, Nebraska, they're in the trenches.
00:05:52.000They're listening to their constituents.
00:06:01.000I felt like I was talking to one of you in our audience.
00:06:05.000They're really upset with how things are going.
00:06:07.000They did everything they possibly could.
00:06:09.000The sentiment when I arrived was they felt as if they were outnumbered and that there was just so much pressure on them, but they held the line.
00:06:17.000There were 55 to 57 that I felt a bond with.
00:06:20.000I said, we could build a political party around these people.
00:06:22.000There are 55 people that are absolute, complete patriots.
00:06:32.000They had the courage to try to voice their opinion that it's not acceptable to lose the Senate, spend $700,000 on flowers, $17 million on donor gifts, and act as if everything is okay.
00:06:50.000The second category is I think there's probably 10 or 15 members that just kind of go with the flow.
00:06:57.000They don't want to upset the apple cart.
00:06:59.000They lack courage, even though they know something is wrong.
00:07:01.000I spoke with one of these members, one lady that I've known for a long time, and she said, look, I voted for Rana just because I don't like chaos.
00:10:36.000Rents are soaring at unprecedented highs.
00:10:39.000If you're renting or have a friend or family member that is, now is a great time to make the move to homeownership.
00:10:45.000Look, you got to own renting, that's great reset stuff.
00:10:48.000Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage have helped so many people make that leap from renting to owning with lots of programs that offer first-time buyers assistance with little to no down payment needed.
00:11:01.000I encourage you right now to visit my buddies, their website.
00:12:38.000Associated Press reported, Trump had quietly supported Rana Romney, a niece of Republican Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, and dispatched a handful of his lieutenants to Southern California to advocate on her behalf.
00:12:51.000President Trump avoided making a public endorsement at McDaniel's request, according to those with direct knowledge of the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
00:13:01.000McDaniel's team was confident that she would win without public backing, allowing her to maintain a sense of neutrality heading into the 2024 presidential primary season.
00:13:11.000The Associated Press also writes: Trump privately backed McDaniel.
00:13:17.000Powerful forces within his MAGA movement lined up while other people lined up behind Dylan.
00:13:34.000Some of the top Trump lieutenants are here advocating for Rana.
00:13:39.000And it became abundantly clear that Rana 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.
00:13:55.000Now, I'm a huge Trump backer and I remain that.
00:13:59.000I would have liked to have seen Donald Trump do the exact opposite and send his lieutenants for change at the RNC, not to continue with this Rana Romney pattern of losing.
00:14:15.000Here I am trying to be your voice for the populist nationalist conservative movement.
00:14:21.00098% of us want to see some sort of change.
00:14:24.000I get emails from you guys saying, Charlie, I give $100 a month that I don't have.
00:14:28.000Thank you for going to Dana Point to try to figure out what the heck is going on.
00:14:34.000And 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.
00:16:45.000Here we are trying to make the party a grassroots party and it remains the party of Romney, literally.
00:16:53.000I want to tell you guys about COVID tax relief.
00:16:56.000COVID tax relief is an amazing service that exists for you because of Washington, D.C.'s addiction to overspending.
00:17:05.000Again, I'm not a fan that this money exists or that's out there or that it's available, but as they say, it is what it is.
00:17:11.000Look, COVIDTaxRelief.org got a small retail business, almost $80,000.
00:17:16.000COVIDTaxRelief.org got a manufacturing business, nearly $250,000.
00:17:20.000COVIDTaxRelief.org got a large distribution business, almost $900,000.
00:17:25.000If you run a business, church or nonprofit and paid your employees through all or part of the pandemic, you could qualify for up to $26,000 per employee through the Government Cares Act.
00:17:34.000COVIDTaxRelief.org receives a low commission, very reasonable, only after you receive the money.
00:17:54.000It's been a, you know, a crazy few months, but, you know, you brought this up.
00:17:59.000I mean, there was a number of different re there were a number of different reasons why people had significant concerns about going with the same.
00:18:12.000So that won't be the topic of our conversation, even though that will come up more and more as the months and years go on here.
00:18:19.000But look, I mean, the reality is this is the inside of the beast that we saw that a lot of people didn't see was just a lot of people that look like deer and headlights, just very scared.
00:18:44.000There's probably 20 to 30 people on this committee that could have elected new change, that could have elected someone new, but they were, they lacked the confidence.
00:18:56.000They didn't spend the time, I think, doing the research and spending the time actually having the conversations.
00:19:01.000And here's the point that I'll make that I've been making is there's only a handful of states that are going to be able to win us the White House in 2024.
00:19:09.000I got only a handful of phone calls from RNC members.
00:19:13.000All of those ended up supporting Harmeat about what's happening in Arizona.
00:19:23.000But, you know, you brought up the question, well, what happens now, right?
00:19:27.000What happens with these individuals that decided to support Rana, again, for a second term?
00:19:32.000And look, I'm all for unity and everything else, but I'm also for making sure that we actually win in 2024.
00:19:40.000I'm for clarity more than unity right now.
00:19:41.000I want to know what side these people are on.
00:19:43.000And I learned a majority are not on our side.
00:19:46.000Well, and here's what we were warning.
00:19:48.000And I had a good conversation with one of the members.
00:19:50.000I won't say what her name was, but she was a national committee woman from a state.
00:19:55.000And she came up to me and she was like, Well, now that I voted for Ron, are you guys going to try to take me out?
00:20:00.000And I was like, No, look, what Charlie has a different answer than me.
00:20:06.000If you actually read the email that Charlie sent out, because Charlie sent out a really, a really well-crafted email that essentially said this: if you don't listen to the grassroots, the grassroots is going to replace you.
00:20:18.000And if they vote you out, then that means we have to spend all of our time finding a better replacement for you.
00:20:42.000And that was the message that we were trying to deliver and say, hey, if you start becoming just like this flying monkey for the regime, then people are going to shoot you down.
00:21:37.000The reason is that there were some people who we don't know, but okay, we're going to go through 36 names right now of people that were rock-solid Harmeet supporters.
00:23:19.000Jeff DeWitt, who is the CEO of the Trump campaign in 2016, one of the first public officials to come out for Donald Trump in 2015, just won and became the state party chair.
00:23:29.000So congrats, Jeff, but he's a good dude.
00:28:13.000People are saying, well, Charlie, how do I get rid of these people?
00:28:15.000We've been telling you about that for many months, but we're going to remind you they're elected by precinct committee men in most of these states, not all of them, but most of them.
00:28:21.000And you could become a precinct committee man and you should.
00:28:26.000We're getting a lot of emails about Mar-a-Lago being dispatched into Dana Point to advocate for Rana.
00:28:35.000I say this as an enthusiastic supporter for Donald Trump in 2024.
00:28:52.000Yeah, I mean, a lot of this is just educational.
00:28:54.000So what's bothered me the most about the Republican Party, and I think this is what bothers most of you that are listening and watching at home, is that the Republican Party, like the Democrat Party and like every party, kind of operates in the shadows.
00:29:04.000So if you ask, why do I hate the Republican Party?
00:29:07.000It's well, they're always constantly doing crap in the background that nobody knows about.
00:29:11.000And then it's, it's antithetical to like what the majority of us want.
00:29:15.000That's the, if you can oversimplify what's going on here.
00:29:19.000And this is like the biggest public awareness campaign ever of that happening.
00:30:34.000I mean, look, there's a couple of different things.
00:30:36.000One is what we've been warning, which is that, hey, people are going to be really upset with you and they're going to become obsessed with this because I know the grassroots.
00:30:43.000You guys are obsessive about this stuff and you should be rightfully so.
00:31:25.000She got up and had the gall in front of the 168 to tell them in a members-only meeting, you know, we're doing a youth advisory committee.
00:31:31.000It's like, well, Rana, I got up and I said in front of everybody, I said, you've never called me about youth issues.
00:31:37.000And like maybe the right like, I mean, maybe there's something that we could share, but but it's like that, it's like silliness, right?
00:31:45.000It's almost like it's like living in the Soviet Union where it's like everything is you know, backwards day, it's like upside down, very orwilling, the whole thing.
00:31:53.000I mean, I had some, I had a member tell me this was the best midterm we've had.
00:31:57.000Yeah, it's and that's what the repetition was.
00:32:00.000And there was a look, I have nothing in common with Bill Palatucci other than my wife's from New Jersey.
00:32:05.000Bill Palatucci is the National Committee man from New Jersey.
00:32:11.000You know, you know, again, I have nothing in common with this guy, but he was like, you just got up and just said that this was like the greatest election of our lifetime.
00:32:21.000And like, so like all of us that are like big, you know, pro-Trump people, we're like, I mean, Bill's right.
00:32:26.000Like, well, and I mean, like, we didn't have success.
00:32:30.000Like, why can't we have like a normal conversation about how do we if you want to, if you want to get really fired up?
00:32:34.000So I'm sitting in the back of the room while the vote is being prepared and they have these treasure reports.
00:32:40.000They come up and they say, oh, yeah, by the way, we ended the cycle with $14 million cash on hand.
00:33:06.000This is going to send, you're going to send your audience off the rails here.
00:33:09.000I read a 40-plus page election integrity report from the staff at the RNC saying that there were significant issues with the legal strategy that was prepared by the RNC.
00:33:21.000They did not want that to get out ahead of the election for Rana, especially because Harmeat has been saying these things for years now.
00:33:29.000And it is mind-blowing stuff that I think we'll be able to get out there because people should be aware of this.
00:33:35.000I mean, the RNC, they basically said to you, the grassroots, the people they begged for money from, yeah, we really don't think very highly of you, and we're going to keep the status quo.
