00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, Tan the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000 Vivek changes the game.
00:00:03.000 I rush into the studio before I go to UCLA to talk about how Vivek calls for the resignation of Rana.
00:00:09.000 We can do it.
00:00:10.000 Let's put our minds together and get a new RNC chair.
00:00:13.000 Subscribe to our podcast.

00:00:28.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:29.000 Here we go.
00:00:30.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:32.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:34.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:37.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:40.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:42.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:43.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:50.000 Turning point USA.
00:00:51.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:00.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:03.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:12.000 Last night was special.
00:01:14.000 I expected just a typical type of debate.
00:01:17.000 Roll your eyes.
00:01:19.000 And it wasn't a debate.
00:01:20.000 It was a humiliation for the RNC and not in a way that you would expect.
00:01:24.000 Your voice was represented on national television.
00:01:28.000 In one of the best performances I have seen in a debate, one of the best openings I have seen, Vivek Ramaswamy brought it straight to the RNC, a direct hit.
00:01:40.000 You and the audience have been clamoring, saying we're sick of losing.
00:01:43.000 Why are our elections not secure?
00:01:45.000 Why are we not investing in the states that matter?
00:01:47.000 Why is the RNC so out of touch with their voters?
00:01:50.000 You guys attempted, and you were amazing, to get rid of Rana Mick Romney back in January.
00:01:57.000 You tried your best to put Harmeet Dylan or have Mike Lindell.
00:02:01.000 I know there was some disagreement there, but at least it was said we don't want Rana.
00:02:04.000 She had a 99% disapproval rating, and she is a proven loser.
00:02:09.000 She does it professionally.
00:02:10.000 She has.
00:02:11.000 She's Mitt Romney's niece.
00:02:13.000 She's been there.
00:02:14.000 She doesn't listen to the grassroots, doesn't listen to Tyler Boyer, doesn't listen to any of us, but she's saying, hey, you know, I'm in charge and you're not.
00:02:20.000 And we will fall short next November if it continues.
00:02:23.000 Vivek Ramaswamy had enough of it.
00:02:25.000 Understand what Vivek Ramaswamy did was against the gentleman's agreement.
00:02:30.000 There is an unspoken gentleman's agreement at these debates that you shall not insult the RNC.
00:02:36.000 You might have some disagreements.
00:02:38.000 You might not like it, but you don't do that.
00:02:40.000 And Vivek Ramaswamy overturned the tables in his opening segment.
00:02:44.000 Not only did he go after RNC, he went after Rana McDaniel by name, and then he went after NBC News in an incredible way.
00:02:54.000 And it changed the whole debate.
00:02:55.000 Ron DeSantis needed a breakout performance.
00:02:58.000 He didn't get it.
00:02:59.000 Vivek Ramaswamy stole the show.
00:03:02.000 People that were skeptics of Vivek beforehand were texting me.
00:03:05.000 They said, this is unbelievable.
00:03:06.000 Big donors that used to give a lot of money to the RNC said, finally, someone is calling for the resignation of Rana.
00:03:14.000 And you guys understand this.
00:03:15.000 You understand why we are fixated on this.
00:03:17.000 And it's very simple.
00:03:18.000 The RNC is the central organizing hub.
00:03:21.000 The RNC can do certain things according to federal election law that other organizations can, that Super PACs can't do, that 527s can't do.
00:03:30.000 If the RNC continues at its current trajectory, we're going to be a year from today being like, well, we're 4,000 votes short in Georgia, but at least the RNC ordered a lot of flowers.
00:03:42.000 Vivek has had enough of it.
00:03:44.000 Vivek, he changed the game.
00:03:48.000 This is an incredible piece of tape here.
00:03:50.000 Look, everyone does their little pre-scripted thing.
00:03:52.000 You know, Ron DeSantis says, you know, it's a tough time.
00:03:54.000 People can't afford gasoline.
00:03:56.000 Good statement.
00:03:56.000 That's fine.
00:03:58.000 You know, Nikki Haley, you know, I want to go send bombs to Cameroon and make sure that we colonize Honduras.
00:04:04.000 Great.
00:04:04.000 Got it.
00:04:04.000 Thanks.
00:04:05.000 You know, Chris Christie, Donald Trump's a criminal and can't wait for the post-debate meal.
00:04:09.000 Thank you.
00:04:09.000 Got it.
00:04:10.000 Really appreciate that.
00:04:11.000 You know, Tim Scott, you know, our best days are ahead.
00:04:14.000 Super, you know, scripted 1982.
00:04:17.000 You know, and it's morning in America.
00:04:19.000 All we have to do is go to our better angels.
00:04:20.000 Thanks.
00:04:21.000 Got it, Tim Scott.
00:04:21.000 Terrific.
00:04:22.000 You know, read the time and the hour.
00:04:23.000 That's, you know, you got to update your programming.
00:04:26.000 I like, I like Tim Scott, but it's so tone deaf.
00:04:29.000 Okay.
00:04:29.000 Country's being invaded.
00:04:30.000 Donald Trump's 700 years in prison.
00:04:32.000 And Tim Scott is talking about how our best days are ahead and we're the Growth and Opportunity Party.
00:04:36.000 It's like, okay, whatever.
00:04:37.000 And then it goes to Vivek.
00:04:38.000 And he's like, okay, what is he going to do?
00:04:40.000 And he changed the game and he called out the charlatans for who they are.
00:04:46.000 Play Cut 104.
00:04:47.000 I think there's something deeper going on in the Republican Party here.
00:04:50.000 And I am upset about what happened last night.
00:04:53.000 We've become a party of losers at the end of the day.
00:04:56.000 It is a cancer to the Republican establishment.
00:04:59.000 Speak the truth.
00:05:00.000 I mean, since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022, no red wave that never came.
00:05:09.000 We got trounced last night in 2023.
00:05:12.000 And I think that we have to have accountability in our party.
00:05:16.000 For that matter, Ron, if you want to come on stage tonight, you want to look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will turn over my yield my time to you.
00:05:24.000 And frankly, look, the people there cheering for losing in the Republican Party.
00:05:28.000 Whoa.
00:05:29.000 By the way, it gets even better.
00:05:31.000 The next piece of tape is when he turns it on NBC News.
00:05:33.000 But let's just start right there.
00:05:34.000 The Republican Party badly needs this.
00:05:37.000 Rana, if you've done a wonderful job, then go in front of cameras and tell us how great of a job you've done.
00:05:43.000 Go and say, you know, I won all these, but you can't do that because you're a loser.
00:05:48.000 And everyone knows you're a loser.
00:05:49.000 You're controlled opposition.
00:05:50.000 That doesn't mean you're a bad person.
00:05:52.000 That doesn't mean you're a bad mom.
00:05:53.000 People conflate that.
00:05:55.000 I'm sure you're pleasant and all those different things.
00:05:57.000 We don't have time for controlled opposition losers that are doing debates with NBC News and then being afraid to even defend your record.
00:06:08.000 This is professional, not personal.
00:06:10.000 And we're not going to let up.
00:06:11.000 Rana is operating under this old paradigm.
00:06:14.000 Why is everyone attacking me?
00:06:15.000 Because we're losing our country, and the RNC is one of the few institutions that stands between the abyss and the Democrat Party.
00:06:24.000 Like literally, the Democrat Party is bringing us to the Abyss.
00:06:27.000 And the RNC, whether we like it or not, needs to be standing in the breach.
00:06:32.000 We need data.
00:06:33.000 We need AI.
00:06:33.000 We need an army.
00:06:34.000 We need bare knuckles.
00:06:35.000 We need honesty.
00:06:36.000 We need grassroots.
00:06:37.000 We need hustle.
00:06:38.000 They don't contact us.
00:06:40.000 By the way, there is no other grassroots organization, in my opinion, not just my opinion, that works as hard as Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
00:06:48.000 They don't talk to us.
00:06:50.000 Why would they?
00:06:50.000 They hate us.
00:06:52.000 They run, they circulate attack articles against us.
00:06:56.000 They don't call Scott Pressler.
00:06:57.000 Forget Turning Point for a second.
00:06:59.000 They hate Scott Pressler.
00:06:59.000 They don't talk.
00:07:01.000 So they kind of live in their own circular bubble.
00:07:03.000 And by the way, they're not raising money.
00:07:05.000 It's not like the donors or, you know, Rana has this great relationship with donors.
00:07:09.000 Donors don't even like her anymore.
00:07:11.000 I was getting text after text after text of very wealthy people.
00:07:14.000 Yes, finally, we need a new leader.
00:07:18.000 Her one selling point is I can raise a lot of money.
00:07:20.000 No, you can't, actually.
00:07:21.000 Evidently, you can't do that because donors know that you're a loser and you need to resign.
00:07:27.000 What is your record exactly?
00:07:29.000 Where have you been able to say things improved because of my leadership?
00:07:34.000 You can't do that.
00:07:36.000 And Vivek called it out.
00:07:38.000 Vivek broke the rules.
00:07:39.000 Let's be very honest.
00:07:40.000 Vivek broke all the rules.
00:07:44.000 Vivek was not supposed to do that.
00:07:46.000 And you could just imagine the RNC seething at their own party, their own debate.
00:07:53.000 By the way, it's just so telling to compare that one response by Vivek Ramaswamy with the canned workshop one-liners and trash these other candidates try to use.
00:08:02.000 And Vivek Ramaswamy perfectly channeled the tone of the base.
00:08:07.000 He's like, we're a bunch of losers right now.
00:08:10.000 And he's right.
00:08:11.000 And you know what Vivek was touching on?
00:08:14.000 Which is, you know, if I would have, you know, Monday morning quarterbacking, I'd just kind of edit or adjust.
00:08:20.000 The country is actually more in alignment with our value system than any time in the last decade.
00:08:27.000 And yet the election results are not in our favor.
00:08:30.000 What is going on here?
00:08:32.000 Machinery, the plumbing of elections, the infrastructure.
00:08:36.000 Vivek is literally a guy with no name recognition, no experience, doesn't even have Trump's history as a TV personality.
00:08:44.000 And he's basically the number two guy in the race.
00:08:46.000 Why?
00:08:47.000 It's because of moments like this.
00:08:49.000 And again, I'm a Trump guy.
00:08:51.000 Everyone knows that.
00:08:52.000 But we have to understand the outright stones that it takes to do this.
00:08:58.000 I mean, I'm going to be very honest.
00:09:00.000 He's got balls to do this.
00:09:03.000 To go to the RNC.
00:09:05.000 I mean, Trump hasn't even called for Rana to resign.
00:09:07.000 God bless.
00:09:08.000 I'm pushing for that.
00:09:09.000 I hope he does.
00:09:11.000 Vivek goes opening statement.
00:09:14.000 You're a loser, Rana.
00:09:15.000 The RNC is awful.
00:09:16.000 And then what he does next against NBC News, we're going to play that tape.
00:09:24.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:09:25.000 There's a lot of steak this November, so I'm baking you.
00:09:28.000 Don't be chicken and shop at the grocery store like usual.
00:09:31.000 Get Good Ranchers instead.
00:09:32.000 Their Black Friday Your Way sale is live and it's something you don't want to miss.
00:09:37.000 And yes, they have great meat puns and they have even better meat.
00:09:40.000 And this November, you get to pick your favorite meat to get free for a year.
00:09:44.000 Yes, you pick a year of free steak, salmon, chick, or bacon when you subscribe to any box right now.
00:09:48.000 I love this service.
00:09:49.000 I use it.
00:09:50.000 When you subscribe to any box on goodranchers.com, you not only get a free gift of meat worth over $480, but you also get $15 off my special code, Charlie.
00:10:00.000 The only big deal your grocery store has is on expired yogurt.
00:10:00.000 So go.
00:10:03.000 So ditch the meat aisle and subscribe at goodranchers.com.
00:10:07.000 You could save up to $500 with their Black Friday offer.
00:10:10.000 No purchase of expired yogurt required.
00:10:12.000 Why choose Good Ranchers?
00:10:14.000 Because they're the number one place to get an all-American beef, pork, chicken, and seafood.
00:10:17.000 With Good Ranchers, there's no second guessing.
00:10:19.000 Promo code Kirk for $15 off plus a year of your favorite meat.
00:10:23.000 Promo code Kirk.
00:10:26.000 I'm going to continue to brag on Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:10:28.000 What he did took stones.
00:10:30.000 It took, quite honestly, balls.
00:10:31.000 It took a spine.
00:10:32.000 I have such respect for him to go into the theater of, I was going to use a certain biblical analogy.
00:10:39.000 I don't think I should, but I'll let you guys fill it in.
00:10:43.000 I'm just going to just use a couple words here, but I won't.
00:10:45.000 He went into a theater and he didn't play by the rules.
00:10:51.000 So many of you are asking, Charlie, what can we do to actually change the RNC chair?
00:10:56.000 Rana McRomney is very nervous because the Overton window changed this fall.
00:11:04.000 A Speaker of the House was removed.
00:11:07.000 We got this great guy, Mike Johnson.
00:11:10.000 This idea of being able to remove people that you don't like and the grassroots speaking now has precedent.
00:11:18.000 And guess what?
00:11:19.000 The Speaker of the House is far more powerful than an RNC chair.
00:11:24.000 And she knows that.
00:11:26.000 It is a lot harder to remove a speaker of the house than it is an RNC chair.
00:11:31.000 I will get into these details as we proceed throughout this hour.
00:11:34.000 It's one of the reasons why I sprinted in here.
00:11:36.000 I'm going to have to catch a flight, go to UCLA.
00:11:38.000 It's going to be a crazy day.
00:11:39.000 I want to make sure everyone's clear.
00:11:40.000 There's an RNC meeting in January in Vegas where all 168 voting members are convening like they did at that five-star resort in Dana Point.
00:11:51.000 And we are going to put the website back up.
00:11:54.000 We're going to try to reignite the grassroots pressure for you to put pressure on your state party chairs, on your national committeemen to do a RNC equivalent of motion to vacate.
00:12:06.000 We need an RNC equivalent of motion to vacate.
00:12:10.000 They're goofy.
00:12:10.000 I don't know the rules.
00:12:11.000 They're kleptocratic.
00:12:13.000 They're built like an oligarchy.
00:12:14.000 Tyler knows all that stuff.
00:12:16.000 It is a total country club, but there has to be some way because we, in an election year, after this disappointing loss, this circus of debates, and Rana breaking RNC rules, which she did, and I'll tell you about that in a second, we have to use the Mike Johnson story as inspiration that those who might once seem untouchable can be removed.
00:12:41.000 And Rana needs to be next.
00:12:43.000 Do we want to win or do we want to lose comfortably?
00:12:46.000 The way that we are heading is to lose comfortably.
00:12:50.000 Okay, so, but this is just amazing.
00:12:51.000 And I have to just take a detour here outside of the RNC thing.
00:12:55.000 And by the way, it's coupled with the RNC thing because it is insulting to you.
00:12:59.000 It is repulsive that the RNC would partner in any way, shape, form, or fashion with a Democrat super PAC that calls themselves NBC News.
00:13:11.000 NBC News is not a media organization.
00:13:14.000 NBC News is not a journalist institution.
00:13:17.000 They are a Democrat super PAC with a peacock feather logo.
00:13:23.000 They don't like your values.
00:13:25.000 They want to fundamentally transform the country from within.
00:13:28.000 They never should have been allowed with an RNC debate.
00:13:32.000 Nobody wants to hear from Lester Holt.
00:13:34.000 No one wants to hear from Wilker.
00:13:36.000 They lied about the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:13:38.000 They smeared and slandered and covered up the entire truth around the Russia hoax.
00:13:44.000 They lied about the vaccine, lied about COVID.
00:13:46.000 They lie about the border.
00:13:48.000 They lie about Ukraine.
00:13:49.000 They are part, in fact, they are a core stakeholder of Operation Mockingbird.
00:13:54.000 Operation Mockingbird, Trusted News Initiative, the Intel agencies, NBC News is a cornerstone of it.
00:14:01.000 In fact, they might be the most important.
00:14:04.000 So why on earth is our party, which is supposed to be the only opposition instrument, partnering with these people?
00:14:15.000 Good question.
00:14:16.000 Rana is to blame for that.
00:14:17.000 Never should have happened.
00:14:18.000 Vivek asks the sacred question.
00:14:20.000 I just got to be honest.
00:14:22.000 Governor DeSantis, you're America's greatest governor.
00:14:24.000 You missed a huge opportunity last evening.
00:14:27.000 This could have been you.
00:14:29.000 And so you're talking about like some sort of chamber of commerce thing.
00:14:32.000 It's just, it's like, man, DeSantis, you missed the opportunity.
00:14:35.000 Go for the kill.
00:14:36.000 The people hate the, they, they, the, the, the grassroots hate these people.
00:14:41.000 Play cut 129.
00:14:43.000 Listen to Vivek.
00:14:44.000 He gets all the headlines.
00:14:45.000 This could have been DeSantis, Play Cut 129.
00:14:47.000 Think about who's moderating this debate.
00:14:49.000 This should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk.
00:14:52.000 We'd have 10 times the viewership asking questions that GOP primary voters actually care about and bringing more people into our party.
00:15:00.000 You think the Democrats, and we've got Christian Walker here.
00:15:02.000 Do you think that Democrats would actually hire Greg Gutfeld to host a Democratic debate?
00:15:08.000 They wouldn't do it.
00:15:09.000 And so the fact of the matter is, I mean, Kristen, I'm going to use this time because it's actually about you and the media and the corrupt media establishment asking the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years.
00:15:20.000 Was that real or was that Hillary Clinton made up disinformation?
00:15:24.000 Answer the question.
00:15:25.000 Go.
00:15:26.000 Mr. Roberts!
00:15:28.000 This is how we get our country back.
00:15:32.000 We need accountability because this media rigged the 2016 election.
00:15:36.000 They rigged the 2020 election with the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:15:39.000 And they're going to rig this election accountability.
00:15:41.000 Let me turn to Governor.
00:15:43.000 These frauds can't answer the question.
00:15:45.000 They've done media malpractice.
00:15:46.000 They're buddies with the RNC.
00:15:48.000 And Vivek put them on defense and they can't even answer.
00:15:51.000 Kristen Welker smiling like a smug lunatic.
00:15:55.000 Lester Holt, let's move on.
00:15:59.000 Are you prepared for the unthinkable ahead?
00:16:01.000 Charlie Kirk here.
00:16:02.000 We all need to pray for the best, but prepare for the worst.
00:16:07.000 That means stockpiling emergency food before it's too late.
00:16:10.000 Right now, go purchase a three-month emergency food kit from mypatriotsupply.com, the nation's leader in self-reliance.
00:16:18.000 Order yours today by going to mypatriotsupply.com.
00:16:22.000 Each family member needs their own kit when disaster strikes.

00:16:43.000 You are nine meals away from anarchy.
00:16:46.000 That's right.

00:16:49.000 Order by three o'clock today and you order ships the same day for free.
00:16:53.000 The unthinkable can happen at a moment's notice.
00:16:55.000 Go to mypatriotsupply.com.
00:17:00.000 Okay, so let's talk about the RNC further here and also Vivek.
00:17:04.000 Vivek calls them out and the grassroots explodes.
00:17:08.000 People are thrilled.
00:17:10.000 Like finally, the person who is in charge of the RNC, who's responsible for winning, is being called out.
00:17:17.000 We made this point yesterday, but I'll just say it again.
00:17:19.000 Las Vegas Raiders, they fire their entire staff.
00:17:22.000 USC, University of Southern California, talking about the Lincoln Riley firing the defensive coordinator.
00:17:34.000 Now let's play this here.
00:17:36.000 Vivek also went after the entire neoliberal, neoconservative establishment.
00:17:44.000 And he and Nikki Haley cross swords.
00:17:48.000 Play cut 122.
00:17:49.000 I am telling you, Putin and President Xi are salivating at the thought that someone like that could become president.
00:17:56.000 They would love to.
00:17:58.000 The first thing I'll tell you is we all remember what that thug did when he invaded Ukraine.
00:18:06.000 And here is a freedom-loving, pro-American country that is fighting for its survival and its democracy.
00:18:12.000 No, I don't think we should give them cash.
00:18:15.000 I think we should give them the equipment and the ammunition to win.
00:18:17.000 And I'll tell you, if Biden had done it when they first asked for it, this war would be over.
00:18:22.000 Is there a war that she doesn't want to be involved in?
00:18:25.000 Let's continue.
00:18:26.000 Vivek goes after Nikki Haley, play cut 123.
00:18:29.000 Is this Will Smith or Nikki Haley?
00:18:32.000 Play cut 123.
00:18:33.000 Ramaswamy, we've talked about this.
00:18:36.000 You campaign on TikTok.
00:18:38.000 How do you get TikTok banned if you use it?
00:18:41.000 Well, I want to laugh at why Nikki Haley didn't answer your question, which is about looking at families in the eye.
00:18:46.000 In the last debate, she made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time.
00:18:52.000 So you might want to take care of your family first.
00:18:54.000 Leave my daughter to the university.
00:18:57.000 The next generation of Americans are using it.
00:19:00.000 And that's actually the point.
00:19:02.000 You have her supporters cropping her up.
00:19:04.000 Here's the truth.
00:19:04.000 That's fine.
00:19:06.000 Easy answer.
00:19:07.000 There were no rules last night.
00:19:09.000 There were no rules.
00:19:11.000 By the way, leave my daughter's name out of your voice.
00:19:14.000 It's very strange.
00:19:16.000 But Vivek broke open the entire conversation.
00:19:20.000 He broke open the entire deal, top to bottom.
00:19:24.000 Because Vivek Ramaswamy is moving the Overton window.
00:19:28.000 He has mainstreamed the grassroots rebellion against the RNC chair.
00:19:35.000 Understand what happened with Kevin McCarthy motion to vacate is far higher stakes than getting a country club to remove Rana McRomney.
00:19:46.000 So here's how this works.
00:19:49.000 Every single state and territory has a state party chair and two committee men and a committee woman.
00:19:56.000 So three per state per territory.
00:19:58.000 That's 168 people.
00:20:02.000 So 168 people that are voting members of the RNC.
00:20:12.000 I went there and I lobbied them to try to remove Rana, and many of them think Rana's doing a great job.
00:20:16.000 They think Rana's doing excellent.
00:20:18.000 In fact, I'll just read this here, an email we got.
00:20:20.000 Charlie, I was texting and pressuring my Republican chair here in South Dakota, and he was very upset because he thinks Rana's doing a great job.
00:20:28.000 Yeah, that's a typical kind of response.
00:20:32.000 We have to start to put overwhelming grassroots pressure on your state party chair, on your committee men, and your committee woman to get them to act going into November.
00:20:43.000 Now, understand, Rana likely broke RNC rules last night.
00:20:47.000 According to Timcast.com, Rana trashed Vivek Ramaswamy in the debate audience, saying, quote, he won't get a cent from us.
00:20:55.000 He's an a-hole, total a-hole, she says.
00:20:59.000 Wait a second.
00:21:00.000 This is against RNC rules.
00:21:02.000 You're not allowed to do this.
00:21:04.000 You're not allowed to interfere into primaries and mention that.
00:21:08.000 That is a sacred RNC rule.
00:21:12.000 I have to remain neutral.
00:21:13.000 I can't do this.
00:21:15.000 But she gets so offended that Vivek Ramaswamy calls her out for what she is.
00:21:18.000 And by the way, if Rana is such a winner, why does she not go in front of cameras and answer questions?
00:21:23.000 Well, here's a really good example.
00:21:25.000 Last night she was asked by a reporter, hey, what happened in Virginia exactly?
00:21:31.000 Larry O'Connor started asking her questions from WWMAL.
00:21:35.000 And she says, well, in Virginia, we didn't, the RNC did not engage because Glenn Youngkin didn't want us.
00:21:41.000 Even though the Virginia GOP chairman Rich Anderson requested money from the RNC, the RNC denied his request.
00:21:48.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden ordered the DNC in September to put a million dollars into Virginia.
00:21:53.000 We lost the House and the Senate by 2,400 and 1,900 votes, respectively.
00:22:00.000 So somebody's lying here, and it's probably Rana and the RNC.
00:22:04.000 Do they ever take responsibility for what they're doing?
00:22:08.000 Now is not the time for happy talk and for business as usual.
00:22:13.000 It's not the time.
00:22:14.000 Now is not the time to just kind of allow the culture of losing to perpetuate and to continue.
00:22:24.000 And we have an opportunity based on what happened with Kevin McCarthy and the motion to vacate.
00:22:31.000 This can be done.
00:22:32.000 So someone says, but Charlie, why do they keep on voting for Rana?
00:22:36.000 They need to represent you or you need to remove them as your state party chair and as your national committeeman.
00:22:44.000 Period.
00:22:44.000 It's that simple.
00:22:46.000 It is far more complicated, far higher stakes to do what was done to Kevin McCarthy than to Rana Romney.
00:22:54.000 It's not even close to being as hard.
00:22:57.000 But that 168, we're going to now, we're going to publicize all their names again.
00:23:01.000 We're going to put up the website.
00:23:02.000 We did this back in January.
00:23:04.000 And we have to get regime change.
00:23:06.000 And it's not just a matter of changing the chair.
00:23:08.000 It's the whole staff.
00:23:11.000 It's their Washington, D.C. office.
00:23:14.000 And, you know, Rana won.
00:23:15.000 What was the final vote tally?
00:23:16.000 I think she got over 100 votes, like 110 votes.
00:23:19.000 She won rather significantly.
00:23:20.000 The country club and the regime, they wanted nothing to do with better leadership, ethical leadership, transparent leadership, results or victory.
00:23:30.000 But this can be done.
00:23:33.000 Especially if you're like, what can I possibly do?
00:23:36.000 What can I do here in the state of North Dakota?
00:23:39.000 What can I do here in Kansas?
00:23:41.000 This is where you really can make a big difference, everybody.
00:23:44.000 I'm giving you a plan of action.
00:23:46.000 If you are in a rep, and if you are in a state where you might think, oh, it's not a battleground state, nothing's really happening.
00:23:52.000 All we have to do is flip 30 or 35 of these people.
00:23:55.000 And by the way, we've already removed several that voted for Rana last January.
00:23:58.000 So we already removed about 10.
00:24:00.000 So we're already closer.
00:24:02.000 And the tide is really changing.
00:24:03.000 We need a, and again, I have to go through, I don't know the rules, some sort of motion to vacate equivalent.
00:24:09.000 And so we have, let's just say you're a great American patriot in Kentucky and you're really upset with just what happened.
00:24:18.000 You need to now challenge your state party chair.
00:24:20.000 Are you willing to go to the meeting in Vegas and remove Rana?
00:24:23.000 And if they say no, you need to get rid of that state party chair, which you can do in a variety of ways.
00:24:29.000 Your state convention, precinct committeeman, national committee.
00:24:32.000 Every state does it different, but the laws, the bylaws are all there.
00:24:35.000 And get a, by the way, a group of 100 people in some of these states could remove a state party chair.
00:24:41.000 This is not widespread stuff.
00:24:44.000 It is high velocity, high energy, high intensity.
00:24:48.000 And donors are already starting to back out.
00:24:51.000 The amount of donors that are texting me saying, why is Rana still in charge?
00:24:55.000 Have we not lost enough?
00:24:57.000 She doesn't inspire confidence.
00:24:58.000 She doesn't build a vision for the future.
00:25:02.000 It is starting to chip and chip away.
00:25:04.000 And by the way, the RNC does not have a lot of money right now.
00:25:06.000 We don't know the numbers.
00:25:07.000 They should be published soon, but I'm told it's abysmal.
00:25:09.000 They have enough money to do debates with the NBC, do enough debates with whatever.
00:25:15.000 But do they have an infrastructure and a plan?
00:25:20.000 And every time something bad happens, it's always excuses.
00:25:23.000 According to sources, Rana was going out on stage and she was screaming that Kentucky was McConnell's fault and Virginia was Yunkins' fault.
00:25:31.000 It's always somebody else's fault.
00:25:34.000 It's always somebody else's fault.
00:25:36.000 And Vivek moved the Overton window in a serious and significant and real way.
00:25:44.000 And mind you, Rana doesn't take him up on it.
00:25:48.000 If Rana was such a great RNC chair and she's willing to lead us to victory, why did she not go in front of the cameras afterwards and say, I was really taken back by Vivek's comments and we've done this at the RNC and this She can't do it because her record is indefensible.
00:26:05.000 Vivek advanced our rebellion and we're not going to stop until we get a new RNC chair.
00:26:10.000 Why?
00:26:10.000 Is it because of some petty personal thing?
00:26:12.000 No, it's not.
00:26:14.000 Because I do this for a living, 20 hours a day, six days a week.
00:26:18.000 I take one day off.
00:26:20.000 God bless the Shabbat.
00:26:22.000 I know the numbers very well.
00:26:24.000 I see the lack of data coordination.
00:26:26.000 I see the lack of grassroots infrastructure.
00:26:28.000 I see the lack of voter registration.
00:26:30.000 I see the lack of ballot chasing.
00:26:32.000 I live in one of the states that matter, and I am here trying to tell you what is coming next.
00:26:37.000 If the regime stays as is, if the cabal stays intact, we will lose.
00:26:46.000 Leadership really matters.
00:26:48.000 Look at just the difference in leadership with Mike Johnson.
00:26:52.000 Leadership is everything, and we should not have to put up with somebody who doesn't share your values, somebody who's a proven loser.
00:27:02.000 And you, the American grassroots, can make a significant victory happen.
00:27:08.000 Huge victory happened by stepping up for the Vegas meeting, meeting in Vegas, RNC, 168.
00:27:17.000 We need a motion to vacate, and we're not going to give up.
00:27:19.000 We're going to crescendo this thing.
00:27:22.000 Needs to be a Vegas motion to vacate at the RNC.
00:27:28.000 You, the grassroots, we have the power to do that.
00:27:33.000 Hey, everybody, Mike Lindellis, a passion to help you get the best sleep of your life.
00:27:37.000 He didn't stop at the pillow.
00:27:38.000 Mike Lindalis created the Giza Dream bed sheets.
00:27:41.000 These sheets look and feel great, which means an even better night's sleep, which is crucial for your overall health.
00:27:47.000 Mike found the world's best cotton called Giza.
00:27:50.000 It's ultra-soft and breathable, but extremely durable.

00:28:30.000 I love the energy right now from you guys.
00:28:33.000 It is inspiring.
00:28:34.000 You're ready to do something.
00:28:35.000 And we have a marching order.
00:28:37.000 You might say, oh my goodness, it's so far away from now.
00:28:39.000 Trump's going to be the nominee.
00:28:41.000 You want something to do?
00:28:41.000 Okay.
00:28:42.000 Let's mobilize all of this different energy.
00:28:46.000 And we have an RNC meeting in Vegas in January.
00:28:50.000 And there's got to be some way to vacate the chair, some sort of executive committee thing, whatever it might be.
00:28:56.000 It is an interesting question.
00:28:59.000 Why is it that the RNC would be more out of touch than Congress?
00:29:08.000 That's interesting, isn't it?
00:29:10.000 I mean, Congress is out of touch, but debt ceiling, continuing resolution, McCarthy lost his job.
00:29:19.000 You got Mike Johnson in there.
00:29:21.000 Why would the RNC, which is supposed to have this 168-member body, why would they defend Rana?
00:29:27.000 What is the argument?
00:29:28.000 By the way, anyone is welcome on this show.
00:29:30.000 Anyone of the 168, they'll never accept it.
00:29:32.000 Defend it.
00:29:34.000 Show us.
00:29:35.000 Build confidence.
00:29:36.000 Again, I'm not even talking ideologically here because we're on different planets ideologically on big issues.
00:29:41.000 I'm talking about winning.
00:29:44.000 Winning.
00:29:45.000 Do you have a track record of victory?
00:29:48.000 You lost in 18, you lost in 20, you lost in 22, and you lost in 23.
00:29:52.000 At some point, you're going to get a new head coach.
00:29:55.000 At some point, you have to get somebody else to run the game.
00:29:59.000 And by the way, a good RNC chair would bring in the best minds and get us on the same page and had a message about abortion.
00:30:06.000 Would bring in the best minds to talk about what are the best media outlets for us to be able to fight back against the smears of the bad guys.
00:30:12.000 No, instead, the RNC, their war room email alert, was circulating hit pieces against me, Turning Point USA, and Turning Point Action.
00:30:20.000 It's a fact.
00:30:21.000 A couple weeks ago, they were spending their time attacking me.
00:30:26.000 They are far more, and I'm going to finally be able to tell this story soon.
00:30:29.000 I can't tell it yet.
00:30:31.000 They're far more worried about this program.
00:30:33.000 This program is a greater threat to the RNC than the Democrats.
00:30:37.000 They're on great terms with NBC News because they are controlled opposition.
00:30:43.000 We need to start to bring all the different energy here.
00:30:46.000 And Vivek advanced the rebellion.
00:30:49.000 Quote, we are a party of losers.
00:30:52.000 We have to have accountability.
00:30:53.000 For that matter, Rana, if you want to come on stage tonight and look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will yield my time to you.
00:31:00.000 And by the way, I was also insulted last night at how little time Hugh Hewitt received.
00:31:06.000 I know that the audience has mixed opinions of Hugh.
00:31:08.000 I like Hugh a lot.
00:31:10.000 Hugh should have received a lot more time.
00:31:12.000 42 minutes in, I'm listening to Kristen Welker and Lester Holt.
00:31:16.000 By the way, this is building and building and building.
00:31:21.000 Dailymail.com, exclusive.
00:31:24.000 RNC chair, Rana, confirms Trump won't participate in any Republican debates.
00:31:30.000 I think he's going to stick with his strategy.
00:31:32.000 It's going really well for you, Rana.
00:31:34.000 So I don't know the technical aspects of how to vacate a chair.
00:31:38.000 I know the RNC can do this.
00:31:40.000 Now, someone says, Charlie, why wait till January?
00:31:45.000 You have to.
00:31:45.000 That's the next meeting.
00:31:46.000 There's no way to do this remotely.
00:31:48.000 You have to have people in.
00:31:48.000 So you got to wait till January.
00:31:50.000 They meet every January.
00:31:51.000 She's lost a lot of legitimacy even since January.
00:31:54.000 Where are the fundraising totals?
00:31:55.000 You're raising money?
00:31:56.000 No.
00:31:57.000 The grassroots respect you?
00:31:58.000 No.
00:31:58.000 You're working with outside groups effectively?
00:32:00.000 No.
00:32:00.000 Is the media defending you?
00:32:02.000 No.
00:32:02.000 Understand that Donald Trump is going to be facing 700 years in federal prison.
00:32:07.000 He already had to go through a primary.
00:32:09.000 Rana says to the Daily Mail, she's more focused on attacking Democrats rather than infighting with members of the GOP.
