Jack Posobiec fills in for Charlie Kirk, and is joined by Ned Ryan, CEO of American Majority On, to discuss why the midterms are so close, and what Republicans need to do to win them back in November.
00:00:45.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:57.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:06.000Jack Posobiec sitting in in the big chair.
00:01:09.000Ned Ryan, the CEO and founder of American Majority On, because I want to ask him this very same question: the overarching theme of the show: Are Republicans sweepwalking into the midterms?
00:01:21.000Are they the ones that are not actually paying attention to the ground shifting under their feet?
00:01:37.000So, Ned Ryan, let me get you in here and let me get your take on this.
00:01:41.000Are Republicans doing what they need to do to seal the deal?
00:01:45.000Are Republicans closing in this election?
00:01:49.000At this moment, I would argue that they are not doing everything that they could be doing.
00:01:55.000But I have to tell you, Jack, I mean, this always happens.
00:01:58.000This psychological warfare starts about 12, 13 weeks out, in which you start to see some really funny polls that I don't think really reflect reality.
00:02:07.000And as you start to look at real polls, you understand where the trends are not nearly as desperate for Republicans as Democrats and the corporate propagandists would like to make them out.
00:02:19.000And I point to, for example, JD Vance in Ohio.
00:02:22.000Tim Ryan was up, what, eight points about four weeks ago in what I thought were some funny poll numbers.
00:02:29.000And then today, Trafalgar has a poll released that shows JD up five.
00:02:34.000You look at the recent generic polls by Ras Newsen and Trafalgar, we're up five.
00:02:40.000Do I think that we're doing everything necessary, though, to seal the deal?
00:02:44.000I think there's a lot of ground that needs to be made up over the next 11 weeks from tomorrow to actually make the 2022 midterms all that they can be.
00:02:52.000And I think Jim Banks gave an excellent piece of advice over the weekend in which he just said: if you want to be successful in these midterms, embrace Donald Trump's America First agenda and we'll be success on November 8th.
00:03:07.000And that was an excellent piece of advice by Jim Banks.
00:03:10.000And not only in terms of substance, but also in terms of style.
00:03:15.000You've got to go out like Blake Masters, like Terry Lake have, and just every single day, whether you're making little videos that you just show with your, you know, with your phone that you're just kind of holding up your face and you're cutting a video where you're commenting on something, you're staying relevant, you're staying engaged, you're saying it.
00:03:32.000You don't have to sit there and have the consultants go through every little thing.
00:06:38.000But if you want to take the Senate, and more importantly, Jack, if you want to take very key Rust Belt gubernatorial races, which I think are absolutely within our grasp, the next 11 weeks are vital.
00:06:50.000But you look at Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, you look at Wisconsin, you look at Michigan.
00:06:56.000Tudor Dixon's only down five points to Whitmer just after winning the primary, just getting started.
00:07:02.000Mastriano, I believe a poll just showed him just a couple points down to Shapiro.
00:07:07.000If we win those gubernatorial races, I want to point out to people, if you want to win in 2024, you win in 2022.
00:07:23.000Gretton Wichmer vetoed every last one of them.
00:07:26.000You've got to win these gubernatorial races to get real election reform before 2024.
00:07:31.000So really six or seven states, if we will focus and spend our money wisely, which is my hope for Leonard Leo in the 1.6 billion, that it will be well spent on actually on action, on things that will cause change.
00:07:46.000My concern sometimes with the old guard of the conservative movement is they're so enamored with think tanks and other things that their money's not put into the right places.
00:07:56.000And Jack, I understand people always want to say politics is downstream from culture, but I would remind people in the short term, if you want us to return to normal, how do you get there?
00:08:06.000You beat the left into unconditional surrender via politics.
00:08:10.000That is the quickest way back to normal.
00:08:29.000You've got the air game and you've got the ground game.
00:08:31.000So the air game, that's your ads and they need to be effective.
00:08:34.000Again, show me the ad in Pennsylvania that is the dramatization of John Fetterman.
00:08:40.000I'm sure you can find some guy to play John Fetterman up there chasing down the black jogger with a shotgun that he did as the governor of Braddock Pennsylvania.
00:08:50.000And then you run that ad in Pittsburgh, you run that ad all throughout Philadelphia.
00:09:02.000This is not about Tim Scott or Lindsey Graham saying, oh, we should wait the process out in regards to the Mar-a-Lago raid.
00:09:07.000This is punch them in the face because if we do not actually take it to them, the Republic is at stake.
00:09:14.000I truly believe we have a chance to restore the Republic, but it is in the balance.
00:09:19.000And if we do not actually start winning and doing everything that we can to win, in some things, people would say, ooh, that's kind of mean, Ned.
00:09:26.000We have to go to that level because they are fully intent upon destroying this country and our republic.
00:10:51.000I think there's probably a greater likelihood the House slips than the Senate.
00:10:58.000Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcomes.
00:11:03.000Right now, we have a 50-50 Senate and a 50-50 country.
00:11:07.000But I think when all is said and done, this is all we're likely to have an extremely close Senate, either our side up slightly or their side up slightly.
00:11:19.000You know, the sad thing in that whole comment, Jack, was really it was somebody who was whining that his candidates got beaten in the primary.
00:11:29.000And because of that, he's kind of poo-pooing Republicans' chances in the general.
00:11:35.000Primary is where you have your disagreements.
00:11:37.000The general is where you come together and actually get behind the Republican candidate to make sure that you get the majority in the Senate.
00:11:44.000The thing that people have to understand, Jack, about Mitch McConnell, he's not interested in being a leader in the country.
00:11:50.000He's not interested in being a leader inside of the Republican Party.
00:11:54.000Quite frankly, I would argue he's not even really that interested in being the leader inside the Senate.
00:11:59.000What Mitch McConnell is desperate to make sure of, regardless of what happens this election, is that he's still the leader of the GOP caucus inside of the Senate.
00:12:08.000He's extremely myopic in his view on life.
00:12:11.000And I think that has been one of the real problems I've had with him over the years.
00:12:15.000I've agreed with him on judges, and that's really about it.
00:12:22.000And my hope is that as we see a JD Vance and Blake Masters and all these others come into the Senate, that we might have to have, that we might actually get to having an America majority, America First majority inside of the Senate Republican caucus.
00:12:36.000When you get to that point, you'll get real America First leadership because Mitch McConnell ain't that.
00:12:41.000Ned, let's run through a couple of other states that I haven't given as much time to, but we should give time to them as well because they're just as important.
00:13:45.000You know, Oz has run a very lackluster campaign in Pennsylvania, but if you can't beat Shrek in Pennsylvania in a year like 2022, you don't deserve to win.
00:14:09.000And then we've got to win those key gubernator races as well.
00:14:12.000Well, and as we said before, the gubernatorial push obviously is going to help the senatorial push because you're going to have the same voters, it's the same precincts, it's the same area.
00:14:21.000Hopefully you're talking to the same voters.
00:14:23.000I would hope that I'm also hearing from, let's just say from folks I talked to in Pennsylvania, there is starting to be more communication opening up between Mastriano and Oz the Camp there.
00:14:33.000Ned, let me get your last thoughts and then tell us how people can follow you and follow American Majority.
00:14:38.000Well, the thing I was going to say too, in Georgia, even though some of us have a real problem with Brian Kemp, he's running a very strong race.
00:14:45.000I suspect Brian Kemp running a very strong race was going to be very beneficial to Herschel Walker.
00:14:52.000Yeah, people can find American Majority, just so people understand.
00:14:54.000We go identify and train people to run for state and local office.
00:14:57.000I believe that is where the national generational change begins, Jack.
00:15:00.000It's about meaningful, purposeful action.
00:15:25.000If you're renting or a friend or family member, that is, right now is the time to make the move to homeownership.
00:15:30.000My good buddies, Andrew Del Rey and Tadavakian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage have helped so many people to make that leap from renting owning.
00:17:49.000Wow, got the whole thing, got the whole thing worked out.
00:17:53.000David in California writes, Jack, regarding Fauci, this has to be addressed immediately and followed through to make an unprecedented acknowledgement that when and if something like this happens and you lie to the American people, the criminals that put profit over the American people will be addressed, condemned, and convicted and sentenced otherwise.
00:18:24.000Gene in Lincoln, Nebraska says, I don't know if you're aware, but former candidate Andrew Yang has made a new party called the Forward Party.
00:18:31.000And despite their slogan, calls quote unquote unity from the left and right, the party has only endorsed Democrat candidates and one fake libertarian.
00:18:38.000Should this new faction of the Democrats be considered a concern regarding the midterms and the 2024 election?
00:18:44.000No, I don't think so because I think there is only one true third party in America.
00:18:48.000And I think that third party is called MAGA.
00:18:50.000It just happened to be within the Republican Party.
00:18:53.000It's ensconced within the Republicans.
00:18:55.000That's where you're seeing this real third party action, this new fight that explains the Mitch McConnell clip that you just heard, this Leonard Leo money.
00:19:03.000Of course, they're not talking about candidate quality, right?
00:19:06.000Because look, we had quote-unquote establishment candidates like Martha McSally twice, by the way, twice.
00:19:12.000That's two Senate seats that should be Republican seats in the state of Arizona that we lost because of backing candidates, identity politics candidates, by the way, like Martha McSally.
00:19:26.000GS says, let's ship bad uniparty actors, bad DOJ actors, bad FBI, CIA, IRS, and other woke wackadoodles to Canada because they've got the euthanasia program up there.
00:19:48.000A form of euthanasia is happening in the United States.
00:19:51.000They have comfort wards in the hospitals that they basically load people up with pain medicine, which slows your breathing and heart rate to speed up the death process.
00:19:58.000I try to convince people that's their best option.
00:20:01.000I asked my mother if she wanted to live and she said yes.
00:20:03.000So I took her home and took her off all the pain medications and we did just Tylenol and she lived for another 12 years.
00:20:14.000I'm not going to read the whole thing, but it's James in Arkansas writes, I was thinking, this isn't the same group of people that we criticize whenever someone appropriates another culture's hairstyle, doesn't have a problem when the trans community appropriates the opposite sex.
00:20:45.000He said, we were driving on I-90 East from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, back to Rapid City, South Dakota past Friday and stopped in a small place off the business loop called Precio.
00:20:56.000Just a stretch and gas and here depicted on the counter in plain sight appears to be a government HHS poster asking one who is pregnant not to consume alcohol.
00:21:06.000That would be normal, except the silhouette is a pregnant man with a beard.
00:21:10.000I'm disgusted with such scenery being shoved down our throats.
00:22:05.000I love the fact that we still have it in the family.
00:22:08.000But then I think about those people and all of those communities and the fact that they are completely controlled by New York City.
00:22:16.000And you almost want to try to introduce the problem is you never would happen, but you almost want to go to these constitutions and say, could there be some way to institute some kind of electoral college inside the states the same way we do, the same way we have nationally, because their voices are not heard.
00:22:32.000They're just completely overshouted out by the people in Albany and the people in New York City, people in Buffalo, Rochester, et cetera.
00:22:39.000By the way, drove through Syracuse, actually flew into Syracuse.
00:23:08.000Here's a little bit of a clarification.
00:23:09.000In response to Raheem Kassam's statement, that Sam Harris has never been in a room with anyone that believes differently than he or has ever been on a stage with those different beliefs.
00:23:20.000If I'm not mistaken, he has debated Ben Shapiro one.
00:23:26.000The context of that, by the way, for folks listening is that was that Raheem was on, I believe it was last week and was talking about Sam Harris.
00:23:36.000And certainly, he doesn't mean that Sam has never done any debates ever.
00:23:40.000And Sam Harris was this guy saying that he doesn't care.
00:23:42.000He doesn't care if Hunter Biden's laptop was censored.
00:23:46.000He doesn't care if Hunter Biden, and I said, he said this in my quote, he said, I don't care if Hunter Biden has the corpses of children in his basement, that I would still rather that story be censored than let Donald Trump win the presidency.
00:23:59.000So basically just torched his entire career in his whole life.
00:24:02.000But what Raheem is saying is that Sam Harris lives in a bubble.
00:24:04.000And I think Raheem's 100% right on that.
00:24:07.000Cheryl from Florida writes, what we need, we forget that we need supermajorities in both houses of Congress for veto override.
00:24:13.000That power alone would allow Republicans and conservatives to actually pass a few good and necessary laws before 2024 and not just block the Biden agenda for two years.
00:25:24.000If the gas prices across Nevada are over $5 a gallon, then Adam Laxall should be your next senator from up there because you have got to tie that to Joe Biden, nationalize all of these races.
00:25:36.000That's exactly what we need to do about this.
00:25:39.000Allison from Tennessee writes, and it's a long email, but she's saying, talking about the issue with these text messages.
00:26:05.000I think there exists so people could dunk on it.
00:26:07.000I get that they convert for a certain percent of their population.
00:26:10.000But guys, understand how you're making the rest of the party look and understand that even though you're making money in the primaries and making money in the general, also understand that it's potentially hurting you with new voters.
00:26:24.000You have to look at the bigger picture.
00:26:25.000Don't be myopic, as Ned Bryan was just saying.
00:26:55.000I have a prediction that if we redirect support to DeSantis before the 24 election, that if we get in on paper, okay, he says he has a bet with his friend, says that DeSantis is getting national awareness off going strong with the turning point franchise, supporting the MAGA candidates, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio, keep up the good work.
00:28:11.000What is the government doing partnering with TikTok in a formal, this is Phillis in Alabama, in a formal partnership with the federal voting assistance program to give accurate election information to voters on the app?
00:28:22.000The federal government, I have to look that one up, guys.
00:29:25.000So what that is, that's the scene from Wolf of Wall Street where they're throwing the guy, but they've changed it so it's myself and everyone's favorite meme lord, Cat Turd, throwing Dr. Cauchy into jail.
00:29:52.000We need the fact checkers to come out.
00:29:54.000Fact checkers, Reuters, fact checkers, PolitiFact, please come, please fact-check me because I have no way to be able to discern any of these things without an understanding of you holding my hand and telling me what's real and what's false.
00:30:07.000Please, please, overlords of the fact checkers, overlords of truth, let me know what's going on.
00:30:14.000But I want to dig into a little bit here because that last email that we had talking about TikTok, and we've got more of this that the team has sent me in real time all this information about TikTok, what's going on, these partnerships.
00:30:28.000So from techcrunch.com, TikTok launches an in-app U.S. midterms election center.
00:30:38.000Well, if there's anyone we can think about this, right?
00:30:41.000Let's say, let's say Hunter Biden, you know, crackhead Hunter Biden loses another laptop and we happen to get our hands on it.
00:30:51.000And that laptop has on it, the hard drive, has information related to Hunter Biden's crooked deals with the CCP, his crooked deals, by the way, his art deal, maybe who's buying them, how much money was spent, et cetera, et cetera.
00:31:04.000Do you think that TikTok, which is controlled by the CCP, is going to allow that video to trend?
00:31:10.000Are they going to allow that in their algorithm?
00:31:48.000TikTok may choose to redirect search terms or hashtags to its community guidelines as it did during the prior election cycle with hashtags associated with terms like stop this deal sharpie gate.
00:32:23.000Let's take a look at a digital billboard, an ad that's in Times Square featuring an image of Joe Biden and his nose growing like he's Pinocchio.
00:32:32.000It says, stop lying to small businesses over taxes, IRS audits, recession, inflation, and asks, do you think we're stupid or something?
