The GOP stands with Israel.

0:00 Speaker 1 With us today is Ronald McDaniel, and she’s in the studio with us, and she is the GOP national chairman and she knows it all. I hope, I hope grown up.

0:12 Speaker 2 It’s so good to be with you in person.

0:15 Speaker 1 Thank you. It’s good to see you today. And you lost so much weight, and I hear you on the same diet. I’m on the intimented fasting.

0:23 Speaker 2 Yes, I did the inter minute fasting with my husband. We both lost forty pounds, so you look great.

0:28 Speaker 1 I didn’t lose that many. I lost less, but.

0:31 Speaker 2 You look great. And the inter minute fasting works and we feel a lot better and healthier.

0:35 Speaker 1 Give us an update what the heck is going on nationally in Republican politics. The big item on your table, I guess it’s presidential, And give us your estimate of what’s going on.

0:49 Speaker 2 So we have a big debate next week next Wednesday in Miami with Hugh Hewitt and NBC, and we have the primary starting in January. January fifth tenth is going to be the first caucus. So all these polls we’re hearing about, we’re actually going to have votes come January of twenty twenty four. It’s seventy days away.

1:08 Speaker 1 Wow, And when is the first debate? When is the first primary?

1:14 Speaker 2 The first caucus is January fifteenth in Iowa. So this is our step to taking back the White House because I believe that our nominee will beat Joe Biden.

1:23 Speaker 1 So if you have Biden and it looks like Trump is in the lead, unless they find a way to shoot them down. And I mean, don’t the American people realize that they’re doing everything possible to shoot them down.

1:38 Speaker 2 You know, the American people are really suffering. They’re worried about our national security. They’re worried about their own economic security. They’re worried about the security in their streets when we see this rise in crime. They worry about their kids in school. They’re not thinking about these lawsuits and this belt Way back and forth and Biden going after Trump.

1:57 They’re thinking, how are these people going to take care of me and my family and make my life better? And that’s what they’re worried about, because Biden has been a disaster for every single family in this country.

2:08 Speaker 1 It well, you’re absolutely right because on his attack on the fossil fuel companies, he’s doubled the price of gasomine since President Trump, and he he’s increased the price of food by twenty thirty percent and it actually may be American people poor.

2:28 Speaker 2 He has not only that he raised gas prices for US, he walked away from our own energy independence. And who profited Iran? Iran our enemy now has and Russia and Russia and they have a flush bank account. So what do they do? Iran says, well, We’re gonna go get money to Humas and they go attrack Israel. So this

2:47 is bad policy from Biden that is making our world less safe.

2:51 Speaker 1 Rona. In case you don’t know the exact numbers, I was had dinner with Larry Kudload there of the night. And the fact is under President Trump, Iran was producing four hundred thousand barrels a day at fifty dollars a barrel chump change. Now the President Biden has allowed them to produce three and a half million barrels a day.

3:13 You ready, you’re sitting down. I am two billion dollars a week excess cash, Oh my gosh. And that’s what they’re using to fund Hamas and fund all the other terror groups. And that’s where the money’s going. And the same thing with Russia. Russia is producing ten million barrels a day at one hundred dollars a barrel. That’s a

3:36 billion dollars a day we’re giving Russia exactly.

3:39 Speaker 2 This all comes back to Biden day one. What he did day one, he canceled the Keystone pipeline. Yes, he shut down our energy independence. He walked away from America being prosperous and said, you know what, I’m going to put that money in the hands of our enemies. And guess what, they’re not good people and they’re not going

3:56 to do good things by our country. And Joe Biden’s week and the world.

3:59 Speaker 1 You can’t be can’t be nice to Russia. You can’t be nice to Iran because they use it against.

4:04 Speaker 2 Us, exactly. And Biden, so you remember.

4:07 Speaker 1 And you know what he did on nine eleven, Arona, what see, I’m in New York. I’m waiting for this. On nine eleven he didn’t show up. You know where to go. After Russia and and Opic Nations said they’re going to cut cut their the price of no no, cut their production so they can raise the price. He

4:29 went to Alaska and cut production in Alaska, and.

4:33 Speaker 2 He made a detail with Iran on nine to eleven. That’s when the six billion dollars was made to give to Iran.

4:39 Speaker 1 I can’t believe it.

4:39 Speaker 2 That’s what our president did. Our world is less safe because of Joe Biden.

4:44 Speaker 1 Now tell me we got your debate is next week? Yes? And how many of your candidates are left?

4:52 Speaker 2 So right now, Mike Pence just dropped out.

4:55 Speaker 1 And you know something, I like the man. He’s a verse, he’s a straight arrow. He’s a very nice man.

5:00 Speaker 2 He’s such a good man. And he did it at the Republican Jewish Coalition conference in Vegas. I was there. He got three standing ovations. All the candidates were there. So right now President Trump’s made the debate stage. I don’t think he’s going to come because he’s not doing debates.

5:14 But it’ll be Ron De Santis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Chris Christi, and Vivek Ramaswan Ramaswani, and then we don’t know about Doug Bergham yet.

5:24 Speaker 1 So you got four or.

5:25 Speaker 2 Five five five for this one. There were six on the last one. There were eight on the first.

5:29 Speaker 1 Remember we went a party for Doug Burnham. He’s a very nice man and he’s a smart guy too.

5:36 Speaker 2 They’re all better than Biden, every single one of them. We have a great bench. I just we have to make sure that whatever happens at the end, and John, you get this, we have to come together as a party, and.

5:49 Speaker 1 We got to come together as a party, but you also have to come together as a nation. And Democrats have to learn how to work whatever we’re with you guys in and for what’s right in the country. And I was very very disappointed Ronan, and I think I would have to bring this out that I believe that

6:11 Kevin McCarthy did the right thing on extending the budget. And I believe that somebody in the Democratic Party promised him that they’ll they’ll support him because they knew he’s gonna lose votes. Yeah, and they did not support Kevin McCarthy and created chaos and they threw Nancy Pelosi out of her office five minutes after the vote. I guess

6:33 she’s the one that did the promising.

6:35 Speaker 2 I think she did well. Kevin said that he said she’d made him that promise that they would never vote to remove a speaker. Listen, Kevin McCarthy is why we have the House.

6:45 Speaker 1 I think the RNC is a very decent, decent person.

6:48 Speaker 2 But he recruited candidates, he traveled prolifically, he raised a lot of funds. We’re very excited about Speaker Johnson. We want him to do well, but I don’t want to forget the hard work that Kevin put in to put us in the position.

7:00 Speaker 1 Never forget a very decent guy. And I hope there’s a place for him in the Republican Party because he’s got a lot of people that love him, and we’re going to.

7:12 Speaker 2 Need him because he we’re gonna need to raise money. Twenty twenty four is harder on the House. It’s going to be harder to hold the House, and so we need everybody working together. This infighting, this three weeks of infighting hurt us, and we need to call us around our new speaker, but we need Kevin McCarthy being part

7:28 of that team.

7:29 Speaker 1 Maybe the future presidential candidate for the Republican Party will pick him as a vice president.

7:34 Speaker 2 You never know, that’s an interesting thought. I hadn’t thought about that changing up the game. I like it.

7:41 Speaker 1 Rona. Thank you so much for this interview, and thank you for your projections of what’s happening. And you look great.

7:51 Speaker 2 Thank you so do you.

7:52 Speaker 1 And we’ll catch up again real soon.

7:53 Speaker 2 Good to see you,
