Welcome to the Buck Brief. We got Ned Ryan in the house on this episode. Our good friend Ned. He is the founder of American Majority and he is going to fight like hell to make sure that the Communists lose this upcour election. And we're going to talk to him about how that's all going. Let's jump right into that, shall we, Because here's the problem as I see it. Ned Trump ahead in all the polls, basically right, all the polls that matter, that show the states that are up for grabs, the swing states. I worry though, that the other side still has better election machinery, especially in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, the Russ Belt. If you will tell me what's going on with this? First of all? Is that how you see it? Yeah?

No, I'm running like we're behind. I think there's a lot of positive signs. I mean, I love a good pull, Buck, But for me, it's like a weather forecast, could be right, could be wrong, positive sign. You know, Trump was never like this in twenty sixteen or twenty twenty like he is in twenty twenty four. So good, you know, that should give us hope. That's great. Yeah, I the left is very good at this ballot collection game. They also have a few other things they've been cooking up. I mean, it's kind of a lot of people are feeling really good right now on the right as the poll numbers are looking great for Trump. This law fair is completely collapsing like I thought it might, and I think poll numbers will get even better for Trump. That all to say, this presidential race is coming down to seven states. It's gonna be Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. So it's seven states. The question is, are we going to have our a game in regards to creating more ballots among mid to low prop Republican voters. Are we going to increase our registrationation among the base in these seven states before the deadline's in October? And then are we going to do the right things and collecting at least eighty, if not eighty five percent of the ballots by November fifth to make sure that Donald Trump wins. Those are the numbers that count book the other thing that gives me a little bit of pause is and I'm sure you've talked about this Biden's executive order in the spring of twenty twenty one that has essentially taken our taxpayer dollars and turned a lot of pieces of the government into essentially a get out the vote machine for him. So that's a problem. And I also think that this idea of non citizens getting federal ballots, some of it's been beaten back, but I still have question marks about games that are going to play on that front as well. So yeah, I'm I'm optimistic. I think we've got a good plan in place, but I'm not sleeping on I think I'm going to run like I'm behind all the way until November fifth, and I think everybody else should as well.

Who does that stuff but that you talked about, I mean just for the you know, you work in this world, so you just can speak about like the movement people doing it, but you know who's making sure that we get Obviously you know there's the Trump campaign, what the campaign's doing, But who else is involved in making sure that in Pennsylvania we start to close the gap of registered voters that we have ballot chase where it's applicable, that we do early voting where it's applicable, like what are the entities both sort of official and now more grassroots that are playing a role in this for this election cycle.

So I think you're the listeners the viewers need to understand there's some things that have taken place in recent times because of Mark Elias. By the way, buck who requested from the FEC and ruling in regards to this.

Real quick he's like the Democrat dirty tricks election lawyer in case in case, in case anyone doesn't know, he's the election dirty trickster.

Correct and behind Russian collusion and all this crazy Steele dossier he requested from the FEC not too long ago. Are ruling regards to how closely could outside groups coordinate in regards to canvassing door knocking with an actual campaign, And the ruling came down that in fact, there could be coordination between campaigns and outside groups in regards to canvassing, specifically in regards to what doors are being knocked, the data being exchanged, advice on messages, etc. And so I think there's going to be a lot of good things taking place between the Trump campaign and some outside groups in regards to making sure the right targeting is taking place in those key states, the right messaging all of these things, and obviously a data exchange has to take place on the back end. But you asked me about outside groups. RSLC, the Republican State Legislative Committees doing some great work in regards to doing ballot generation, ballot chase, I know, the Sentinel Group, Heritage Action, they're doing some good work on this front, turning points, starting to try and play in this. We'll see how effective their work is. American Majority Action is doing this, SBA List, Susan Anthony List is doing some of this. So there's some fairly robust groups that are in the right place. Is doing the right thing, you know called five and a half months out from the election, So the ball is moving in the right direction. The question is are we going to get all of the funding necessary to do all of this to the one hundred percent that we need it done right? Are we going to be able to generate enough ballots? That's an arms race all the way until October. I mean in Arizona, for example, Buck you can request an absentee ballot all the way until October twenty fifth. So are we going to have all the funding necessary to create ballots up to the deadlines? And then are you going to chase in eighty to eighty five percent of those ballots? And I think the groups that are doing it are starting to get on the right path. We've been talking about this in American majority for the last year and a half, and I think a lot of people are waking up to realizing we need to fund absentee ballot generation, and we need to fund voter registration to those deadlines, and we need to fund absentee ballot chase. And the good news, there's a couple of good news good things on this front. Book. Trump is actually embracing this. If you haven't noticed some of his recent comments, not only at the recent rally but also on true social that have been posted on Twitter. It's okay to request an absentee ballot, It's okay to vote early in person, and if you want to vote an election day, that's fine, but have a plan. The other thing that is also working in our favor is the fact that the RNC has changed leadership. Buck I was fully convinced that if Ranna and her team stayed in the place they were that it was going to be severely damaging to Trump in this election. They finally woke up to that reality. They changed, They put in the right leadership. I'm bullish on our chances because of those changes, because of the things that have taken place, and because of the focus and the priorities not only of the Trump campaign but by extension, the.

R and C. I want to come into how you think all this legal stuff against Trump is going to shake out. We've got the New York City trial already under ways, and then and I are talking. That'll be up here. We'll dive into it in just a second. But I recently watched a documentary called America's Last Election. You've got to check this out. It's produced by my good friend, the legendary economist Porter Stansberry, who for the last twenty five years has predicted almost every major economic and financial move in both directions. He exposed the corruption at the heart of a major American automobile company and warned of the collapse of major lenders, and predicted the two thousand and eight financial crisis. This is all in writing. You can go check this out for yourself. But this documentary details how a new financial crisis could be bringing in America right now and the dangers opposes to millions of Americans. He's paying raped attention to recent events in our nation and the serious repercussions they could have for you, your future and your finances, how you work, where you live, how you plan for retirement. Nothing may ever be the same. So make sure you watch this new documentary while it's online. Go to www. Dot Last Election Documentary dot com. That's last Election documentary dot com. Last Election Documentary dot com paid for by Porter and Company. Uh ned the stuff that we're seeing go on in New York and you gonna sit here, you know, it's it's absurd, it's disgraceful, it's terrible for the country. Like we can just take as a granted that this is and I spent a lot of time on radio going through they held it. They're they're rigging it, They're they're misapplying the law, like we've we've done a lot of that.

Right.

Is it blowing up in the Democrats' faces?

Though?

Like are we can we already say looking at the data that this isn't working as intended? Is it even going in the other direction where they might be losing swing voters or is it just too early to know and we got to see how it plays out.

I'm seeing a trend. You know. We talked about this, I don't know what was it two three four months ago, in which I said, look at the opposite side of the coin. This is a this is a central part to Joe Biden's re election campaign. This political law fair. I think it is going to blow up because the merits of it are purely political. There's no legal merit to any of these and I think that's playing out in real time. I think you see it reflected in the and I think you're seeing it. I mean you and I, Like you said, you and I follow politics pretty much twenty four to seven, three and sixty five days a year. It's what we do. The normies, the people that don't, the people that kind of sort of pay attention every now and then, but really only when elections come close. I think it's breaking through to them. Anecdotally. I see that, but also in the poll numbers, when people are saying, we really don't care what happens with these cases. It's not changing our mind at all on who we're going to vote for We're still going to vote for Donald Trump because they know that it's actually read. They know that there's no merit to this except for its political lawfair, and they're trying to take out the chief political opponent for Joe Biden. So yeah, I'm optimistic that you're going to see all of the First of all, this one's collapsing in real time. This this Brad case. I mean, Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen are your two star witnesses. Give me a break. I mean, come on, if that's what you're basing your hopes on, that's pretty pathetic. And I think it's going to collapse, you know. And then the other cases, I'm not even sure they're going to be heard or there's going to be a trial before the elections. So that's gone for for Biden's re election campaign, and it's it is backfiring. And I think it's these normanies are going this is a gross abuse of our legal system for purely political reasons, and they're finding it repulsive.

I would think that you'd have to at least see where independents are swinging on this one, because and come to that conclusion because so far people are talking about it almost as if Trump is the incumbent president. I mean, for a for a challenger against an incumbent at this stage to have the kind of numbers in the key states that he does, he's got to be a panic for the Democrats. I mean, if you were a war game, this from the other side of the of the the battlefield, or you know, if you're a look at this on the other side of the chessboard. So we sound a little so I sound a little less nerdy here, or maybe that's more nerdy. I don't know whatever, But if you were to do that, what do you think Democrats? What do you think? Thank you? What do you think Democrat plan is here to turn their fortunes around? I mean, are they Is this a little bit of a playing possum thing where oh Biden's numbers are so bad. Oh it's so bad. And then you know, look at look at Katie Hobbs in Arizona, not debating, no campaign whatever. She just knew she had the votes where she needed the votes, end of story. Like, how do you see the Democrat strategy?

I kind of see it that way. They are focused on trying to increase their ballot universes. I mean again, like not to sound like a broken record book, they're looking at the same things I'm looking at. Can we increase our ballot universes in these seven key states? Can we continue to register and build our base in these seven key states? And quite frankly, how many non citizens can we get a federal ballot into the hands of It hopes that enough of those slip through the system to actually be counted, So by all means legal, and I would argue illegal. They have a plan. And the question is, like I said, it's an arms race. Who's going to win the arms race and focus on the right numbers and actually have the bigger number come November fifth? So yeah, they've got a plan. I mean again, Think about the fact that Biden issued that executive order in the spring of twenty one. They knew he was going to be a week president and a week incumbent, and they started three years ago putting pieces in place for the reelection in November of twenty twenty four. Yeah, they've got a plan. They're thinking ahead, they're looking long term, and they realize, you know, we might I think some realists among them understand This is going to be an art even harder hill to climb than they would have thought a year ago. But yeah, they know they've got a great ballot generation and collection machine. And the question is can we match them? And here's the thing, Buck, I don't think we have to match them exactly. We don't have to bring our A plus game to win in these seven states. We need to be present. We need to have a B or B plus game, hopefully a minus at the worst. At the You know, we could settle for a minus and we can beat them, but that's what they're banking on their bank. You know, we're going to have more ballots collected than Donald Trump and these seven states, and we're going to win. And again, look at how close these elections have been. If they can sneak out another ten thousand votes like they did in Arizona and basically the same in the vat a little bit more twenty thousand Wisconsin, they put Joe Biden back in the White House. And I tend to think, despite the polls being rosy for Trump right now, I am looking at these battleground states as probably being razors and margins one way or the other. This is not I just don't think this is going to be a landslide on November.

Fifth, So you think it's going to be a tense election night, even if maybe you know, the good guys win, like, this is not going to be some kind of It's not going to be Ronda Santis' reelection in Florida where he wins by Sawny points things a joke.

Yeah, no, no, no, not at all. I mean, the left is wired for political power. It's they're precious, and I would call them their dark, twisted souls like a little.

Golf Gollum is kind of the left. Gollum is kind of the Democrat mascot, whether they realize it or not.

My precious, my preciousest political power. You think they're just gonna sit down and go, oh, you know, Donald Trump one is winning, We're gonna lose. Oh well, oh my gosh. No. I've been telling people, I don't know what they're gonna pull out. I've talked about some of that with you, but I'm expecting some new tricks the next five months. They're not gonna take this sitting down. They're not gonna let Donald Trump just waltz back into the White House because they view them as an existential threat to the administrative state and the status quo. Obviously they're hold on power. So yeah, I think they're gonna pull out the stops. I think there's gonna be much closer than people people are thinking right now.

Well, I think you're right, and I'm you know, money, Yeah, man, I'm trying to be hopeful, but uh not. We should be not get ahead of myself, right, I mean, because at twenty twenty two we got to learn the lessons man that we we We went into that one like, oh, things are great, the American people have woken up since COVID, and just was like a buzz saw that we walked into.

I was. I was one of those. I was really optimistic, looking at trends, looking at historical all of these things, and also you know, approval numbers. And we got we ran into the bus, solved their ballot collection machine. I'm never gonna let that happen again.

All right, Before I let you go, I'm gonna have you recommend one book of any kind that you want somebody, you want everyone out there to read, that they probably haven't already read.

Ned what is the book for you?

Sir?

You want to recommend everybody? Fun book, important book, whatever you want.

I'm gonna cheat and tell two books by the.

Same Okay, I like Nick.

Nick Bunker wrote two phenomenal books, Making Haste from Babylon and An Empire on the Edge. And Making Haste from Babylon is the journey of the separatist the Puritans and leaving England and how they eventually got to the Americas and settled in the Americas, and what their vision was for this country. An Empire on the Edge is really those last days before really the Civil War between Englishmen on the other side of the Atlantic, and the philosophies that were taking place. He writes extremely well. He's a brilliant writer. I hope that I can write that well someday. But yeah, Nick Bunker, making Haste from Babylon and An Empire on the Edge, I think those are both great reads for people if they're interested in really pre revolutionary American history.

I'm going to go pick them up. Excellent recommendations. My friend ed Ryan ned you to have you back. We'll talk more elections.
