Speaker 2: How are things going over at the RNC.

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: It's going great, but I want to see you guys

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,800

Speaker 3: Hey listen, my arms are a little tired, so I'm gonna

00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: let hammer.

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: Take over it.

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: Here we are at the end of March. It's a

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: midterm year, house fundraising, house pulling. What's the what are

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: the numbers, how's the momentum?

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I'm super excited about the midterms. We have

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: a chance of DeFi history only four times las one

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years as the incumbent party been successful.

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: We have a great chance. And even though you hear

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: doom and gloom all over the place, we have a

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: lot of things going for us. First and foremost, we

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: have a president that's done more in the first thirteen

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: fourteen months in office of most presidents doing eight years,

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: which has given us an incredible amount of messaging that

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: we could run on that's extremely popular. We have the

41
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: best messenger of that message in the history of the party,

42
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: at the greatest showmen that's ever existed in the Republican Party,

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: and the President Donald J. Trump. We have been crushing

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: the Democrats and fundraising. I think the last report has

45
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: said about one hundred and ten million of the DNC

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: at five million are affiliated committees. We're beating him by

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: even more. So we have everything that we need to

48
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: have going right for us is going right. I mean,

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: we're preparing the plan. We're going to be preparing to

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: execute that plan. And as long as people come together

51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: and when we could turn out our voters and we

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: could do the job, that what the parties task to do.

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: And that's you know, like I said, turn out those voters.

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I think that we can surprise a lot of people

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: in November.

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: Hey, Joe, this is Jerry. So my family is from

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: Cuba and this no Kings protest thing has got me

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: fired up. We have a bunch of American liberals out

59
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: there with hammerons, go on communist flags and all this

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: other just craziness. You know, how much does that help

61
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: the GOP And how much do the GOP really try

62
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: to distinguish Democrats from socialist Marxist communists because there should

63
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: be a difference in my country.

64
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: No, they but that's what they are. These guys have

65
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: gone so far to the left, that's their new mainstream.

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: This is not your you know, your grandfather's Democrat party.

67
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: These leftists have gone you know, with rise of Mom

68
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Dami and AOC and Bernie Sanders. It's given rise to

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: these Leo Wackado nut jobs that are running all across

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: his country in for offices now in their only policy

71
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: position is the fact that they hate the president. TDS

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: is very real. These guys hate the president because he's

73
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: accomplishing what they said they wanted to do for the

74
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: last five decades and nobody's been able to do it.

75
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: This president's done it. The more he does, the morphs

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: that they get, that's why he's such a threat and

77
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: that's why they they're going around acting like they are

78
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: and somebody should educate them. Obviously they missed that class

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: in school.

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: So if the No King's rallies are not resonating with

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: voters other than the extreme political left, what is resonating

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: with voters? Based on the research that you guys have seen,

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: what seems to be the issues that are winning issues

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: for the RNC.

85
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Well, listen, affordability still first and foremost in people's minds,

86
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: and obviously with you know, the president in the administration

87
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: has you know that you know, this new conflict that

88
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: Iran has created a little hiccup and all the work

89
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: that he's done bring all these prices down, but I expect,

90
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, when I talked to the President, it's going

91
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: to be temporary. And there's nobody that's more laser focused

92
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: or has more empathy than the average American than President Trump.

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: And so in what people fail to realize is that

94
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: the gas prices were higher the day the President took

95
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: over than they are now and this is a temporary setback.

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: But listen, these special elections offside elections, it's about anger.

97
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: The other side's angry that the presidents exactly what he

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: said he was going to do when he was elected.

99
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: The border was like the number one issue two years ago.

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: Now it's not even an issue in the top six.

101
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: But you know why, becaus the President took care of it.

102
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: But so our voters are relatively happy on most fronts,

103
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: and it's the Democrats that are just upset because of

104
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: all the success we're having. So that's the real problem.

105
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: We just got to continue to hammer home that the

106
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: American dream is achievable for everybody, for all Americans. We

107
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: just have to continue to do everything we can to

108
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: make sure the Democrats don't fundamentally change our country by

109
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: importing tens of millions of illegals and leaving them, giving

110
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: him a chance to vote, and giving him all the

111
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: free stuff that we offer.

112
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: How did we get here as a country where the

113
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: country is doing great and we're not even willing to say, hey,

114
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: good job, we all reaped the benefits of a great administration.

115
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: Like you said, they can't even say he's doing anything right.

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: They have to take the opposite, even if they know

117
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: it's better.

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Look at the state of the Union. That's going to

119
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: be the ad that wins it. Stand up if you

120
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: support Americans over illegals. Not a single Democrat stood up.

121
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: It's it's it's we're in bizarro world. I like the Democrats, like,

122
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: where have they gone? What are they for? It's the

123
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: same America Act. Eighty four percent of Americans are for it.

124
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: Show a voter IDEEP, so show proof relizenship when you register.

125
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: These guys aren't for it, they're against it. They're against it.

126
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Me as they're trying to hold onto their grasp of

127
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: power is so important that they're willing to give up

128
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: everything that we've built in America. That's great so they

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: can hold onto power for a little bit longer. To me,

130
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's incredibly disappointing. It's sad. It's sad that

131
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the Americans are you know, are for

132
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: illegals over Americans are for you know that that have TDS,

133
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just it's I don't understand it.

134
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: But what the President asked me to do is he

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: asked me to come in help them win these midterms.

136
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: So we're doing everything humanly possible to make sure we're

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: putting ourselves in a position where we could win.

138
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: In November, Joe Gruders with us, the RNC chair, joining

139
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: us here on the Hammer and Nigel Show. Joe, last

140
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: thing before we let you go, you bring up the

141
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: Save America Act, and I feel like voter integrity is

142
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: such an important part of that. I know the last

143
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: election cycle, the R and C was very passionate about

144
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: getting poll workers to volunteer to go out to these

145
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: places to make sure no shenanigans were taking place. Is

146
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: that still something that's actively taking place with the RNC, No.

147
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: Question, I expect to have an even bigger presence in

148
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: this cycle because ever since twenty twenty, it's been a

149
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: one of the primary focuses of trying to make sure

150
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: these elections are fair and free and safe and secure.

151
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: So every cycle since twenty twenty, we've gotten better. We've

152
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: made improvements. We've recruited more volunteers as poll watchers, We've

153
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: recruited more people to go be pull workers, and we

154
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: have boots on the ground. We have one hundred and

155
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: twenty lawsuits over thirty states. Who I said, anywhere where

156
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: we could find an edge and where we could bring

157
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: down the hammer to make sure that we can have

158
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: these safe and free and fair and secure elections, We're

159
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: going to do it. We're not going to pass. We're

160
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: going to be as aggressive as we come. And and

161
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, wider people donate to the R and C

162
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: where the nucleus, we're the ones that are going out

163
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: there and fighting. I was at the Supreme Court last

164
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: week in the Watching case, which is mind blowing. It's

165
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: going to be probably one of the biggest wins we've

166
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: had in decades, if not the history of election integrities.

167
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, fourteen states and the District of Columbia collect

168
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: and count absentee ballots after election day. So what happens

169
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: on election day The results come in and they find

170
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: out how many votes that you need and then all

171
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they can go out there and go

172
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: out there and get these absentee ballots until they can

173
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: flip the race. The election day should be exactly what

174
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: it means election day. The fact that we allow states

175
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: to count ballots after election day, to me, is crazy,

176
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: and it can go on for weeks. I always say Florida,

177
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: where I'm from, is the gold standard. But don't forget

178
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: we weren't always a gold standard. In the two thousand

179
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: electure controversy controversy, butsch versus Gore, we had the hanging chads.

180
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: We're the laughing stock of the country. But then we

181
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: went to work and every two years we went titan

182
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: the screws and we made it better. Now we can

183
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: delivered results within sixty within sixty minutes, sixty seven supervisors,

184
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: both Republicans and Democrats. Everybody has full faith and confidence

185
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: in the system. But the Democrats don't want that. They

186
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: want to be able to have the opportunity to cheat.

187
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: They want to undermine the system wherever they can. And

188
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: that's why we're bringing the hammer to protect justice and

189
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: to protect our way of life.

190
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 2: Joe, where can somebody go if they want to volunteer

191
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: for one of those responsibilities or to assist in any way.

192
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Well, listen, good to GP dot com. That's the easiest

193
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: way to place to go. We need people to give

194
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: their time and treasure. We only are going to defy history.

195
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: If everybody comes together, we could do this. We have

196
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: a present that's pushing as hard as we can. We

197
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: need to support this present to help him be successful.
