play00:10

has made some major changes and now we

play00:14

see a newly elected chairman R McDaniel

play00:18

is gone we have officially repealed and

play00:21

replaced the entire MC establishment who

play00:25

was responsible for the 2022 disaster

play00:28

and plenty of other problems within the

play00:31

Republican Party whether if it was

play00:33

removing Kevin McCarthy replacing him

play00:35

with Mike Johnson whether if it was

play00:38

removing Mitch McConnell or having him

play00:39

step down and replacing him with we

play00:42

don't exactly know just yet or whether

play00:45

if it was getting rid of Ron McDaniel

play00:48

who is a three-time underperformer 2018

play00:52

2020 2022 finally just before 2024 she's

play00:57

getting out of the way you have a new

play01:00

competent chairman in place to help lead

play01:03

Donald Trump to Victory and you have

play01:05

surrounded many successful capable

play01:08

people around him in some of the other

play01:10

leadership positions as well including

play01:13

Lara Trump who also kind of helps with

play01:15

the Republican Party branding makes it a

play01:18

little bit more you know friendly to the

play01:21

Trump base you got rid of a Romney from

play01:24

the leadership you put a trump in

play01:26

leadership it's very fitting and so many

play01:28

people in the more you neoconservative

play01:31

side of things are upset about that

play01:33

they're calling that nepotism oh but

play01:35

they were okay with r Romney uh McDaniel

play01:38

they were okay with you know having

play01:40

Bush's uh Dynasty exist and they were

play01:43

comfortable propping them up but oh

play01:45

because you have somebody who is

play01:46

qualified that happens to have the last

play01:48

name Trump in leadership they're not too

play01:51

happy about it despite the fact that she

play01:53

has a great deal of Consulting

play01:55

experience and she has a very good

play01:56

vision and platform which we will be

play01:58

talking about in this video video but

play02:01

still I kind of want to touch base on

play02:03

Michael wattley because we talk about

play02:05

winning swing states there was only one

play02:07

real swing state in the 2020 election

play02:12

that stayed Republican besides Florida

play02:15

I'm not going to count like Ohio or Iowa

play02:17

or Texas as swing States but North

play02:19

Carolina that was the state that turned

play02:21

a corner when a lot of other states

play02:23

didn't necessarily turn a corner and

play02:26

part of the reason why is because they

play02:27

had a competent chairman Michael wattley

play02:30

who is the chairman of the North

play02:32

Carolina Republican party and North

play02:34

Carolina is a competitive state so he

play02:35

chaired a competitive state for a

play02:38

sustained amount of time and you saw

play02:40

2020 he got Donald Trump elected in

play02:43

North Carolina at least he got Mark

play02:45

Robinson elected he got a lot of

play02:47

Republicans elected 2022 got Ted Bud

play02:50

elected who's one of our better Senators

play02:52

despite being from North Carolina which

play02:55

is a swing state and on top of that he's

play02:58

also gotten judges elect Ed that were

play03:00

able to go in there change the maps make

play03:02

them more favorable for Republicans he's

play03:04

put a sleeper agent on the Democrat side

play03:06

of things and the State House who

play03:08

flipped and became a republican then

play03:10

they redrew the district and now

play03:12

Democrats are at a major disadvantage in

play03:15

North Carolina because even though they

play03:16

have the governor's mansion there is a

play03:19

super majority down ballot in the state

play03:22

Chambers where Republicans are basically

play03:25

able to run the state themselves you

play03:28

basically have a Republican Shadow

play03:30

Governor there and as a result the state

play03:34

is probably going to move right you have

play03:37

people that are competent they're

play03:38

they're very right leaning they're very

play03:40

Maga uh but still they're competent and

play03:43

they're getting things done and that's

play03:45

what you like to see we like Maga and we

play03:48

also like competence when you mix the

play03:50

two together you're going to have a very

play03:53

successful National Republican party we

play03:56

talk about the competent State parties

play03:58

you have Florida and tex to a large

play04:00

degree those are talked about a lot

play04:01

North Carolina not talked about possibly

play04:05

as much but still the state's undergone

play04:06

a lot of changes since uh 2008 but still

play04:10

it's actually gotten redder and that we

play04:13

know and it seems like it's going to

play04:14

stay red again but also taking this

play04:16

winning leadership to the National level

play04:18

because it is true that Rona McDaniel

play04:20

was the state chair and state success

play04:21

does not always you know correlate to

play04:24

National success and we know that

play04:26

certain candidates for president who

play04:28

have been governed

play04:30

and regarded to be decent Governors or

play04:32

one big at the governor level don't

play04:34

always do well at the national level you

play04:37

look at people like Mitt Romney who won

play04:39

Massachusetts at the governor level and

play04:41

then he got completely trounced in 2012

play04:43

or Ronda santis who completely kind of

play04:46

just turned into a bust at the national

play04:48

stage in the 2024 primary so that is

play04:51

true but still Rona McDaniel LED this

play04:53

state for 2 years like not even only

play04:56

oversaw one election that was one

play04:58

because of Donald Trump by the way not

play05:00

because of her and by the time she left

play05:03

the Michigan State party was weaker and

play05:06

it continued to get weaker after she

play05:09

left but still she was not really all

play05:11

that good at the national level in that

play05:13

we know fundraising was okay for a

play05:15

couple years mainly because of trump and

play05:18

now what happened now Trump's kind of

play05:20

out of the picture even though he's

play05:21

coming back into the picture and

play05:23

fundraising has been a total disaster

play05:25

she was a mess so you need people that

play05:27

are good at fundraising don't sabotage

play05:29

candidate have decent messaging overall

play05:32

and you will get that you will get that

play05:34

with Michael wattley even when other

play05:36

states in the midterms didn't do so well

play05:38

for Republicans because of incompetent

play05:41

Republican party leadership well you got

play05:44

something good in North Carolina that

play05:45

fundraising should likely you know turn

play05:48

a tide they had their worst year for

play05:49

fundraising since 1993 although it is

play05:52

true the next year they had a very big

play05:54

year but still that's not all that good

play05:57

so because it's an election year you

play05:59

need somebody in there who is extremely

play06:01

good with fundraising does not sabotage

play06:05

certain candidates does not try to

play06:07

capitulate to the left and try to outw

play06:10

the left in terms of messaging and you

play06:13

get that with Michael Watley more so

play06:16

than you don't you get people who are

play06:18

aligned with Trump on a lot of things

play06:20

won't get in his way but are still

play06:22

competent still can raise money and

play06:25

that's a very good thing and that's

play06:27

exactly what we've needed for quite some

play06:29

time time because we've never had this

play06:30

leadership you know it's not going to be

play06:32

entirely perfect you're not going to get

play06:34

your you know dream pick in every single

play06:37

uh potential leadership position but you

play06:39

got to kind of work within the system to

play06:41

get realistic wins and we've kind of

play06:43

done that got rid of McCarthy got

play06:46

Johnson who's much better I don't know

play06:48

who we're going to get as Senate

play06:49

Majority Leader so long as it's not JN

play06:51

TH or John Corin we'll probably be

play06:54

better off in that department as well

play06:56

but this this is absolutely huge a

play06:58

massive needed upgrade all around and

play07:02

then you've got the co-chair who also

play07:04

plays to Trump's base as well because

play07:06

it's Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara

play07:09

Trump who has laid out her promises so

play07:11

many people are saying Laura Trump

play07:12

doesn't know what she's doing even

play07:14

though she has experience in Consulting

play07:18

she's worked on many campaigns it's not

play07:21

like this is a pick just because of the

play07:23

fact that oh well her last name is Trump

play07:25

and they say that she doesn't know what

play07:27

she's doing a lot of these rhinos lot of

play07:29

these neocons because they're trying to

play07:31

you know delegitimize the changes for

play07:34

the better within the RNC but then you

play07:36

watch what exactly her plan is to go out

play07:39

there and change things it's pretty much

play07:41

all that we have been complaining about

play07:44

regarding the problems of Ron McDaniel's

play07:47

tenure so listen to this if I am elected

play07:50

co-chair of the RNC we are going to have

play07:54

out of control like we've never seen in

play07:56

America voter registration and that's

play07:59

another thing that's very important we

play08:01

need voter registration we have so many

play08:03

people across the Midwest who would more

play08:05

likely than not be Trump voters who are

play08:08

just simply unregistered to vote you

play08:11

know tens of millions of non-oled

play08:13

educated white voters that's Trump's

play08:15

base you have to get those people

play08:16

registered you have to get them out to

play08:18

vote instead the RNC has done none of

play08:21

that during Trump's tenure and as a

play08:24

result they have been losing legal

play08:26

ballot harvesting all over this country

play08:29

and that's another thing you need to be

play08:31

doing that the Democrats will have their

play08:33

system set up they will harvest ballots

play08:35

they've been doing this in California

play08:37

for over half a decade Republicans in

play08:39

California and you know some recent

play08:41

elections they've actually been biting

play08:43

back and they've been doing that and

play08:45

it's actually worked out for them

play08:47

California you saw gavan nusum he won by

play08:49

less than 20 points in California which

play08:52

has basically been like a D+ 30 State

play08:55

because Republicans have done a much

play08:57

better job at ballot Harvest in they

play08:59

flipped a lot of congressional seats in

play09:02

California since 2018 because they

play09:04

started to use the Democrats game to

play09:07

their advantage so if we're able to do

play09:09

that where we can that's going to be a

play09:11

big benefit to the Republican Party a

play09:13

ground game like we have never seen

play09:16

before election day operations pole

play09:19

Watchers in every polling location

play09:21

across this country and we're not just

play09:23

going to pull watch we have already seen

play09:27

that the RNC has started it and we will

play09:29

continue doing this trained pole

play09:31

Watchers these are people who go in and

play09:33

actually physically handle the ballots

play09:36

You Can Count every ballot coming in so

play09:38

you know how many ballots go out we are

play09:41

going to have to play this game so much

play09:43

better than the Democrats and that's

play09:46

100% true as well we are going to have

play09:48

to train a lot of people to make sure

play09:51

that you have election Integrity to

play09:53

restore confidence in the eyes of the

play09:56

American people and to do so you're

play09:58

going to need many

play09:59

trained pole Watchers we had that in

play10:02

place uh in Virginia before the

play10:04

governor's election we saw what happened

play10:06

there so it'd be a big benefit if we

play10:08

actually had that that we leave nothing

play10:11

to chance come November 5th and I'll

play10:13

tell you something else we have to start

play10:14

doing early voting I know we'd love one

play10:18

election day we'd love paper ballots

play10:20

we'd love everybody to have voter ID cuz

play10:23

that makes sense doesn't it in the

play10:26

United

play10:28

States

play10:30

we may get back there one day but we are

play10:33

not there today and so because of that

play10:36

we are going to have to start banking

play10:38

our votes and we do that with turning

play10:40

out to so basically she's saying we need

play10:43

to start pushing early voting which is

play10:45

100% true I mean you look at what

play10:48

Republicans have been doing in Florida

play10:50

there's a big early voting push there's

play10:52

been Republicans have been expanding

play10:54

their margin of Victory they've been

play10:55

beating the Democrats at their own game

play10:58

and you see the same thing in Texas

play11:00

Republican turnout you know in-person

play11:02

voting we like in-person voting best and

play11:06

that's important but a lot of States

play11:08

especially all the swing States they

play11:09

have in-person early voting for a week

play11:12

or two before the election they have

play11:14

inperson absentee you name it or you can

play11:17

get your ballot you could drop it off at

play11:19

the polling place depending on the state

play11:21

every state has different laws regarding

play11:23

it but still either way what it comes

play11:26

down to is beating the Democrats at

play11:28

their own game they will have everybody

play11:30

voting early and then they still send

play11:32

people to the polls on Election Day they

play11:34

leave no stone unturned Republicans a

play11:37

lot of them will make sure to say oh no

play11:39

we'll just wait and vote on Election Day

play11:42

because I don't know why and then you

play11:43

see these long lines some people might

play11:45

not want to stand in those long lines

play11:48

and Democrats have kind of taken

play11:50

advantage of the more traditional

play11:52

mindset and by the way I prefer one day

play11:54

voting I don't like election month

play11:56

because yeah you don't know what's going

play11:57

to happen you could have a November

play12:00

surprise and if people have already

play12:01

voted even if they can technically go in

play12:04

and change their vote it's still kind of

play12:07

unlikely that that would happen so

play12:10

either way these are all things the RNC

play12:13

has failed to push for these are all

play12:15

things the RNC needs to push for and you

play12:17

have Donald Trump up in the biggest

play12:20

election of his lifetime he's in the

play12:22

best position politically of his

play12:24

lifetime by every single metric we

play12:26

cannot afford to mess this up so the

play12:29

fact that we got rid of R McDaniel R

play12:32

Romney McDaniel that is and we replaced

play12:35

her with Michael wattley and his

play12:37

co-chair is going to be Lura Trump who

play12:39

has this epic detailed platform to go

play12:42

out there and win in November if that is

play12:44

stuck to even partially Donald Trump is

play12:48

going to be even more Invincible come
