This video was taken in Charleston South Carolina on the morning of the GOP debate. Along with RNC head Reince Priebus, Fox's Dana Perino and all of the National Republican Party Leadership were in attendance. Holland Redfield, an RNC committeeman who represents the Virgin Islands is speaking:
This was the RNC meeting/convention in South Carolina prior to the debate later in the day. The membership from this entire group apparatus is who comprised the audience.
Do the audience responses evident in the debate broadcast make more sense now?
Here's an article from Politico: CHARLESTON, S.C. -- A Republican National committeeman delivered a call-to-arms against Donald Trump during a closed-door GOP meeting on Thursday, urging his colleagues to take a forceful stand against those who he said are destroying the party's brand.

Thanks for the ping.
And my ears perked at this gem: “This is OUR party,” Redfield exclaimed, “NOT the candidates’!”
That’s it, in a nut shell. This knucklehead perfectly enunciated the credo of the GOP ‘establishment’: “Its OUR party-you just vote in it as we dictate”. “””
This is why I will NEVER send a single dime to the RNC.
Yes...the battle against RINOS continues in State parties
I respect his opinion, and we shouldn’t post this as being someone who represents the GOPs or anyone, but he’s flatly wrong.
NOthing succeeds like success, and let’s face it, we have a chance to win people over to us, who we’ve never been able to win over.
I take issue with the notion that Muslims are part of peaceful religion, I take issue even that they have a bona fide religion.
THis guy sounds like he should have given this speech in July. Not now. To say this now, he comes across as someone who is totally out of touch.
The Challenge for Trump, if he wins the nomination, is for him to sit down and convince people like Holland, and the various anti-Trump pro Cruz people here, and my idiot brother who thinks Trump is a clown, and won’t even talk to me about it, that he here to unite us, and to bring all of us together for the good of this country.
Trump will not be able to do squat if he doesn’t have a controlling majority in the HOuse and Senate.
THis is one man’s opinion. I think it is divisive to imply that he represents anyone but himself. If he’s from the Virgin Islands, then he’s been in a fantasy world all these years, while the rest of us have been here in the 48 states feezing our @sses off. IN other words, this guy is all wet, and sounds like those red neck DJs out there who were breaking rock & roll records, and refusing to play that kind of music, as they watched their stations eventually come aboard. This man is a dinosaur. I see our party as a big tent. I listen to Newt and he says that we are going to bring in more people than REagan did.
GOPee proving, once again, that they are NO different than the Dims....
UniParty strikes, again.
Where’s the ‘when you’re fighting BOTH parties, Trump pic’?
Trump clearly has all the right enemies.
Are there still people who can’t grasp this concept? That’s hard to believe.
These insiders understand full well. They understand most no longer care about the GOP or Dems and their political corrupt charade, like this meeting. We want to take our country back from controlling, expanding, punitive government and save the damn country from them.
Btw Jane, was this covertly recorded?
That older guy standing there addressing the nominee process as if it were the early 1990s, was indicative of why Donald Trump is kicking posterior.
The Conservative movement has utterly passed him by.
He has no clue what is happening.
Response in real time...
Mr. Hammond, I have respect for you as a leader of the party in your extended community. I do not wish to be discourteous to you. There is sadly a chasm of candor between you and I that I cannot help but address with a few short sentences.
The candidate you undoubtedly are trying to undermine, would not be a candidate at this time if the party leaders who believe as you do, had listened to us rank and file party members.
Their days are done. Your days are done.
Donald Trump will be our nominee because he addresses our concerns that YOU and the party leadership refused to.
In case I need to remind you, we begged you to adopt Trump’s policies upwards for the last 20 years. You simply refused to even talk to us.
Did you think we were going to live out our lives never addressing this.
As kindly as I can, I must tell you that you are utterly out of touch with reality.
Btw Jane, was this covertly recorded?
****
The person on the video is Redfield, who provided the video to Politico.
From article:
In the five-minute impromptu speech, a video recording of which Redfield provided to POLITICO, Redfield did not explicitly mention Trump’s name. But he made clear that angry voices in the party pose a grave threat to the GOP’s future, and expressed alarm at what he described as crushing pressure to play nice.
From comments
This clown is running for office.

Wait a minute folks. Let’s look at this deeper. Remember, it was not a secretly recorded and accidentally leaked video. The man himself gave it to Politico.There was a purpose here.
I think they want Donald Trump to go third party and have from the beginning. That loyalty pledge they demanded he sign was quite likely designed to make him say FU and declare third party. Instead Mr. Trump called their bluff.
If they can’t win with one of their chosen GOP candidates, what better way to install Hillary (actually will probably be Biden) than to split the votes? Remember, when George HW was up for election and surely to go down in defeat, we had Ross Perot. That gave us Clinton.
I've stated for a long time that Perino has a definite conflict of interest on Fox, that Murdoch right along has pushed her higher in the network's pecking order...and that she's a PLANT for the GOP establishment/elite.
Does anyone doubt this?
I don't care if she's on Fox as a guest (we know "guests" have a variety of biases and loyalties)...but as a regular commentator/analyst, or as a regular panelist, she should either be bounced to "guest" status......or required to give full disclosure what her shadowy connection is with the RNC-e and the GOP-e.
This babe is definitely an operative of some sort...and she should be outed post-haste.
As an example....at least we know where and with whom anti-Trump, Fox regular Karl Rove-e stands because he doesn't hide his outside affiliations.
Perino should be ordered to do likewise. She wasn't at this Republican-e meeting of the highest-elite for nothing.

Oh how I wish he could hear or read what you said.
Thank you.
Perino is a Bush machine operative and always has been. She serves in the place of the Bush daughters, Jenna and Babs II. Pillows and cushions are guaranteed to her for life. She is a Jebber Bush fan, or of anyone they tell her to fan. She is indispensable for the red meat she is provided by Bushies, and this meeting she attended is one obvious example.
FOX is a Bush machine operation. FOX + Perino = Establishment.
I would say Perino even trumps Meagain Killy’s legs and mouth, in value to Egbert Murdoch, who has caned Roger Aisles out into the hallway, relegated to using a walker, now. (For real.)
It was only Ailes who ever gave us a conservative FOX. Now the Egbert boys are increasingly at the helm, and Egbert is now a regular who hawks all the Ailes staff meetings haunting them with his presence.
You are on to something. It will never get covered, either.
Many folks don't know that aging Murdoch pere is semi-retired but keeps his snoot in the management. His two leftist, forty-something sons assumed the day-to-day operation of Fox News last April.
The lefty hands now in the cockpit have resulted in lots of changes, subtle and not-so-subtle, in the ideologies of the anchors, regulars, contributors and panelists.
Some have done complete flip-flops, some have become more openly liberal, some more wary in protecting themselves when giving opinions, some have become more moderate, more guarded, etc. in their views and analysis.
Some are just plain sucking-up to the new non-conservative management that mails them their paychecks.
Note that the two radicals, Geraldo (Che) Rivera and Juan Williams are even more leftist, radical, loudmouthed and have more free rein than ever under the new lefty top brass.

I figured Perino out the first time Trump was discussed on THE FIVE way back in July. I have never seen her so angry before. She was literally frothing at the mouth with blood coming out of her eyes. Nobody fools me, I am too old for that, and have watched politics since JFK-Nixon debates as a student in college.
Oh, yes, yes and yes. By now, many of us have about seen it all. But, truly, this may be the nastiest presidential campaign ever. The country is in turmoil and so is the world. It is natural order that such turmoil boils over in desperate times with so much at stake.
Kind of reminds us of the sixties upheaval, when minds went hard left, and we never recovered since.
Until, maybe, now.
“What exactly was Dana Perino doing at this conclave of high mucky-muck GOP insiders?”
I can’t stand Dana Perino. She is such a mealy mouthed, always making excuses for the Obama Admin to try to sound fair to both sides, inconsequential, boring and know-it-all plant for the establishment GOP, that I can barely watch her in action. She helps to ruin The Five program, to their detriment.
Perino makes me sick every time she opens her mouth. I like her dog a heck of a lot more than her, like 100% more than her. And she’s in cahoots with the RINO/GOPe enemy, spouting their party line for them every day on The Five. She needs to be outed big-time. Don’t know who is worse, her or Juan Williams. It’s a toss-up.
I watch the video. They stuck me as scheming 3rd rate hacks. You can’t believe anything they say.
Won’t help. They do something that stupid they might as well start covering up the hole they put the GOP into. Btw the insiders and corrupt have been scheming to “Get Trump” since 6/15/2015, on an hourly basis.
Despicable people. More concerned for their personal gravy trains than what is best for the country.
In that capacity they are no different from democrats including the welfare liberals.
