Reince Priebus welcome to the eib network

search great to have you here
0-23
the complete honor to be on your show
0-24
rush thank you for having me you bet I I
0-27
want to talk to her number reasons but
0-29
first and foremost on election night i
0-31
was one of the many who stayed up till
0-34
beyond three o'clock to listen to mr.
0-36
Trump's speech and he was effusive in
0-40
his praise for you and your you're
0-42
essentially creating the ground game
0-45
operation for him to get out the vote
0-47
effort and it was such a shock to a lot
0-51
of people and it turns out we gonna make
0-54
it we look at the magnitude of this win
0-57
- Priebus it's stunning the
0-59
republican party turns out has more
1-02
power in Washington and throughout the
1-03
country in terms of selective offices at
1-06
all levels than any time since the
1-07
nineteen twenties Hillary Clinton had
1-11
six million fewer voters than Barack
1-13
Obama had in 2012 we we have since Obama
1-18
campaigned for her on the basis that her
1-22
election meant the continuation of his
1-24
legacy and agenda we say that it was
1-26
repudiated deep the American people
1-29
showed up in droves and repudiated the
1-31
Democrat Party agenda and it was a shock
1-34
to me too
1-35
Trump winning was a shock to many not me
1-37
but it was a shock to many and the depth
1-39
of the Democrat loss was really a shock
1-42
to everybody
1-43
well you predicted by the way you put
1-46
your neck out back and may you protected
1-48
this you felt it and you said it a long
1-51
time ago and you know really just comes
1-53
back to a couple things one you're right
1-56
the ground operation at the RNC was the
1-58
biggest operation i think either
2-00
national parties have ever put together
2-01
we had made way more people on the
2-05
ground and anyone understood or give
2-07
credit to us for we put over a hundred
2-10
and twenty million and data
2-11
understanding
2-12
everything about voters what beer they
2-14
drink what car they drive what motivates
2-16
people how many kids they have and all
2-19
of that information made a difference
2-21
but let's just put that aside the
2-23
reality is that we had the right
2-24
candidate Donald Trump was the candidate
2-27
that authentically captured the vehicle
2-32
where everyone wanted to go as far as
2-35
being the change candidate but being a
2-37
candidate that people actually believed
2-39
would go to Washington and do it he said
2-42
by when he said drain the swamp and he
2-43
said drain the swamp you know if anyone
2-46
else said that at least a lot of these
2-48
folks that were running it may not be
2-50
believable because there's you know
2-52
politicians a lot of things but when he
2-54
said we're going to drain the swamp
2-56
people believe that he represented
2-58
something bigger than the day-to-day
3-00
stories and Politico and other magazines
3-04
that just have to fill space and that
3-07
was authentic because it was a change
3-09
election we had a change candidate that
3-12
was authentically making the case and
3-14
we're running against someone who spent
3-16
their entire life and made millions upon
3-20
millions of dollars in politics it was a
3-23
just a classic case of momentum and
3-28
running with the flow of the river and
3-31
having the infrastructure in place to
3-32
capture the moment now I would be remiss
3-34
if I didn't mention something i was
3-37
struck honestly uh by the complete
3-41
180-degree turnaround by my speaker Ryan
3-45
yesterday in his effusive praise for
3-47
Trump i mean i i'm not making things up
3-50
here there were many many Republicans
3-53
not you don't misunderstand i'm gonna
3-56
elected Republicans who really thought
3-59
Trump was going to finish this party by
4-01
losing in the biggest landslide since
4-03
Barry Goldwater and they made no bones
4-05
about it and they day they made public
4-08
their lack of effort or desire to help
4-10
him and they lost some of those a couple
4-13
of people lost ya when Trump comes
4-15
around and wins why all of a sudden he's
4-17
the greatest candidate we've ever had
4-18
but they didn't think that until he won
4-22
and this right the
4-25
this is obvious to people now I know
4-27
everybody wants to get on a winning
4-28
trade and everybody wants to shine our
4-30
light of a of of a winner but is this
4-34
belief in trauma is it do you think it's
4-38
I know it's putting you on the spot is
4-39
it legitimate with some of these people
4-41
who disavowed trump not just elected to
4-43
we got some conservative so-called media
4-45
people that just yeah none of this was
4-47
supposed to happen and they didn't want
4-49
it to happen there were Some mr.
4-51
Priebus hoping for a republican
4-53
landslide loss
4-54
yeah don't know question i mean there
4-57
were there are some there's a few out
5-01
there that really had no excuse doing
5-03
what they did and I've talked about that
5-07
and I i agree with you on that but i can
5-09
tell you i think it's important for
5-12
Republicans to come together now
5-14
regardless and then it is good to show a
5-16
positive public face and that we do get
5-20
this party together and we are together
5-22
or bigger like you said were bigger than
5-24
ever but it's important that leaders and
5-27
elected officials get i get on board but
5-30
it in regard to the other comment but i
5-32
will tell you that in regard to speaker
5-34
Ryan totally totally on board and
5-38
wanting to work with president-elect rom
5-41
they just had a positive meeting just
5-44
right next door
5-45
I just saw the nothing about to go and
5-47
he's genuine it's totally genuine he and
5-49
by the way that especially you know the
5-51
last few weeks he's been on the campaign
5-53
trail with my pants he would have been I
5-56
know firsthand because I know what the
5-57
scheduling and the planning what he was
5-59
planning on being at the rally in
6-01
waukesha with president-elect romp and
6-04
then of course you sunday night he put
6-06
out the statement and and continued
6-08
throughout the point of all this is that
6-10
I i agree with your assessment some of
6-14
the things that went on I thought were
6-15
wrong and I made it clear that they were
6-18
wrong and they I think some people were
6-21
very shocked you know I was in I was on
6-24
the side of understanding what my job
6-27
was and I did it and I was loyal and and
6-30
we built the biggest operation we could
6-32
build and it helped uh and we got it
6-35
done i'm i'm proud of the work that we
6-37
did but I'm
6-38
out of our candidates well i don't i
6-39
don't want to speak out of school but I
6-41
I know how people tend to sometimes hear
6-44
people in politics and I just want to
6-46
vouch for what mr. Reince Priebus just said he
6-49
came with Scott Spicer became to do to
6-52
meet me here in the up shut the Sean
6-54
Spicer back in the spring it was it was
6-56
April or May and I can tell everybody
6-58
you have been on board the train of the
7-01
nominee from the get-go you've never
7-03
been anywhere near trying to undermine
7-05
anybody's candidacy when whoever the
7-08
nominee was that you were all in and let
7-10
you know I just want people know you're
7-12
not just saying this today
7-13
ya know and and you know what that
7-15
that's the job of a competent national
7-17
party and you look at the DNC is going
7-20
through it it's a total mass because
7-22
number one they're they're not they have
7-24
had a lot of problems lately but they've
7-26
been trying to tip the scales and doing
7-27
all the things that I know a lot of
7-28
grassroots people are always worried
7-31
about and I was trying to explain to
7-33
people that and I understand some of the
7-35
negative mystique that a national party
7-37
brings with it but I just tell people
7-39
there's nothing controversial about a
7-42
national party that has act together on
7-44
the ground with data it's a lot of
7-46
boring stuff that I'm in charge of most
7-48
of it's not exciting but we all can at
7-51
least understand that if we're confident
7-53
on the mechanics and we're confident on
7-55
the work that we need to do and we're
7-57
not playing favorites but we're offering
7-59
our work to our eventual nominee to take
8-02
advantage of that work product we can be
8-05
more successful we could not win
8-07
elections without a competent National
8-09
Party as irritating as it sometimes the
8-12
party can be two people it's a necessary
8-14
function that we we serve well yeah that
8-18
that the irritation oftentimes the
8-20
rooted in promises on the campaign trail
8-23
that don't evaluate the governance but
8-24
look I wish little time constraint and i
8-28
do want to ask you about one other thing
8-30
that we are hearing a lot of and I'm i
8-33
just want to admit to you that I've got
8-35
my flags are pink right now they haven't
8-37
turned red
8-38
I'm hearing of course the Democrats
8-40
common every time they lose the first
8-43
thing they do is super piece and start
8-44
demanding unity and we all must come
8-47
together what they mean
8-49
is we need to pretend we didn't win and
8-52
we need to make sure that we don't tear
8-54
apart whatever their agenda in their
8-56
achievements of banana we work together
8-58
going forward and I expect them to do
9-02
that but I get nervous when I hear
9-04
Republicans start talking about the need
9-06
for magnanimity and unity and coming to
9-10
get the American people didn't vote for
9-11
that the American people defeated
9-14
Hillary Clinton they voted for Trump to
9-16
defeat Hillary and defeated democrats
9-18
they have less power than they've ever
9-19
had in the nineteen-twenties we've got
9-21
greater opportunities today than at any
9-23
time in my life mr. freebus since the
9-25
nineteen eighties at least two really
9-28
really implement the agenda that the
9-31
republican party in the conservative
9-33
movement have always been known for low
9-35
government's the logan hundred percent
9-37
agree on a pretty not agree with you i
9-40
agree with you it's important to make
9-42
peace
9-43
i I'm all for that and it's important to
9-46
adopt the you know the campaign but i'll
9-48
tell you what it's also the opportunity
9-51
to do the will of the people and the
9-54
will of the people is exactly as you
9-55
outlined we have won everything up and
9-58
down the ticket
10-00
we got the house-senate the White House
10-02
the people of this country voted for
10-05
that and we have to deliver the change
10-08
that was promised and that you know it's
10-11
a tax reform it starts with a
10-12
conservative Supreme Court every single
10-15
thing that was talked about on that
10-18
campaign now it needs to be delivered
10-20
exactly there's no excuses for not doing
10-23
it because we've got a pathway to do it
10-25
that's exactly right and they're working
10-27
a myriad issues the Trump discussed
10-29
immigration refugees to any number of
10-32
things he had offering host of issues
10-34
that that made it he made part of his
10-37
campaign but when you say that we we
10-39
have we want i think you used the word
10-41
peace that might well I mean we don't
10-44
want to
10-45
what's going on out on the streets to me
10-47
we know what you're seeing across the
10-48
country minutes just yeah okay that's
10-51
good
10-51
elections are over that's not real I
10-54
don't believe because of what we want
10-55
with the project veritas videos thereby
10-57
saying that they're paying for those
10-59
protests yeah yeah understood
11-01
don't let it affect you there that's all
11-03
that's all made to look like that
11-04
there's genuine outraged that we won but
11-07
there isn't there is happiness that we
11-09
want
11-09
yeah absolutely i'm with you on that i
11-11
think that's what i was referring to but
11-13
you know look we're gonna move forward
11-16
we've got an agenda that needs to be
11-18
fulfilled and we've got no excuses not
11-21
to get the leadership in place we've got
11-24
the white house's look at what's
11-25
happening in the state and the
11-26
legislature is I mean there's a lot of
11-28
flips and state legislatures that we've
11-31
also have succeeded in across the
11-35
country so now it's time to do the will
11-37
of the people the White House spokesman
11-40
Josh earnest said after the meeting
11-43
between president obama and president
11-46
elect Trump which 1 90 minutes today not
11-48
the usual 15 but earnest and although we
11-51
want to do everything we can to make
11-54
sure president elect Trump gets the
11-57
ground running and has a good shot at
12-00
accomplishing what is to succeed really
12-03
right i think they'll hopefully that'll
12-07
last but my guess is that they'll become
12-10
and pretty strong pretty hard down
12-13
yeah okay well least then you know i
12-15
mean III yeah it's it's it's such an
12-20
opportunity and the Democrats are in a
12-23
position they're not used to being in
12-24
yeah whatever dude we were the party
12-27
that was to put that did the media had
12-29
already written that we were going to be
12-31
in crisis today and if you open up most
12-33
of the Washington rags it says the
12-35
opposite and and we audit and we are to
12-39
take the advantage of our position which
12-43
was given to us by the people fairly and
12-46
squarely and do our job
12-48
well I just don't I i hope a lot of
12-50
people are so I realize it isn't mean to
12-53
be happy when we win
12-54
it's not mean to advance our agenda
12-57
because that's what we were elected to
12-58
do i hope they don't think it's mean or
13-00
offensive if we don't include the
13-03
Democrats in our Obamacare plans unless
13-05
they agree with brian we're happy to
13-08
welcome aboard
13-10
but I real we got too many people that
13-12
seem guilty if we win and they don't
13-15
want people mad at them and so they try
13-17
to water it down and diluted a little
13-19
bit and I hope it doesn't happen i agree
13-21
didn't pursue your agenda with happiness
13-24
and enthusiasm and with a lot of energy
13-27
to get it done a hundred percent on
13-28
board with that and i agree with you
13-30
well thank you so much for the call i
13-32
appreciate about it and I do Chairman
13-34
Reince Priebus of the Republican
13-36
National Committee and he did he came
13-38
here with Sean Spicer and it was i don't
13-42
know i think it was in March or April
13-43
somewhere it was at a point in time
13-45
where it looked like Trump was owning
13-49
this but they weren't sure
13-51
and in a lot of people were at that time
13-53
in official Republican they were afraid
13-56
what this mean and i can i can tell you
14-00
that during them that they were here for
14-02
an hour and at no time did I hear them
14-06
say or have any doubt that if Trump was
14-09
a nominee they were all in there is back
14-12
they stood out that way as not being
14-15
part of the crowd that couldn't accept
14-18
Trump back they were both he and Spicer
14-22
were intrigued about Trump and the
14-25
possibilities of trumps being elected it
14-30
was refreshing actually and I just
14-32
wanted to to mention that to those of
14-34
you I didn't at the time because it was
14-38
an off-the-record meeting and we had not
14-44
met I'd never met chairman Reince Priebus and
14-47
that's really what the purpose of it was
14-48
and so then we began discussing the
14-50
Trump campaign what it all meant and how
14-53
would he was handling and how I was
14-55
handling it and what we thought was
14-56
going to happen it was a good
14-57
conversation but no time was he ever
15-00
that I detected in the club that could
15-05
not stomach and would not tolerate Trump
15-07
it was just exactly
