RNC CHAIRWOMAN RONNA MCDANIEL RELEASES NEW EPISODE OF “REAL AMERICA” PODCAST FEATURING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
The Republican National Committee (RNC) released today a new episode of "Real America," a podcast hosted by RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. In the new episode of “Real America,” Chairwoman McDaniel sits down with President Donald Trump to discuss the need for American energy independence, the war in Ukraine, Biden’s failures in Afghanistan, and how Republicans will take back the House and Senate.
“Not only did you make us stronger with our national security, but our country was so much stronger on the border, with energy independence, with jobs. Now Americans are really struggling. They can't fill their gas tanks. Their home heating bills are up, they are paying $356 a month more because of inflation,” explained Chairwoman McDaniel. “On day one, Biden got rid of the Keystone Pipeline, and he stopped leases on federal lands and water. This energy crisis, the inflation crisis, and national security crisis all tie back to his failure and the unwinding of your successes.”
“You are sorely missed. We are watching what's unfolding in Ukraine. You were so tough on Putin. You made us energy independent. You were tough on Nord Stream 2. You went to NATO and said it's time for these countries to defend themselves,” said Chairwoman McDaniel.
“They see what fools we've made of ourselves in getting out of Afghanistan the way they got out,” said President Trump. “There's never been anything so mishandled, so bungled, so incompetent. And I think that's actually a big reason why the problem you have with Ukraine. I think when Putin and when Xi and when Kim Jong Un and when the Iranians are watching that, the Iranian leaders, I think they saw what happened in Afghanistan. And I think that gave them a new sense of power and dignity.”
President Trump and Chairwoman McDaniel also touched on the Republican Party’s successful efforts to grow our party.
“When you look at Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans, we have taken in so many people into the Republican Party that we never would have taken in. Because we made America great again, because of me, because of you, we all worked on it very hard,” said President Trump. “We have a much bigger, much more powerful party. We're going to do fantastically well in 2022.”
“Real America” features stories from outside the beltway, highlights Republican leadership, and shows how Republican policies are leading America’s comeback and working for real Americans. Chairwoman McDaniel is offering the platform for Republican leaders to share their successes and for listeners to hear real stories from the exciting, leading voices in our Party. Season Two launched this year and has so far featured House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Rep. Byron Donalds, and ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp.
