In this episode, Ryan sits down with political commentator and strategist Mike Crispi to expose the tangled web of New Jersey’s entrenched party bosses and the corrupt ballot “line” system that controls who truly holds power in the state. Crispi, drawing on his own experiences challenging the establishment, reveals how the system stifles authentic candidates and real change, making it nearly impossible for genuine America First policies to break through.

He offers a roadmap for dismantling this machine, calling out the political mafia and emphasizing that without honest primaries and grassroots awakening, true reform remains out of reach. Mike also delves into bigger-picture issues, from the twisted moral fabric of national politics to the global power plays behind figures like Obama and the health agendas championed by RFK. He and Ryan explore controversial subjects like forced vaccines, the sexualization of children in schools, and the erasure of traditional values in American life.

Crispi argues that only by embracing strong alpha leadership, preserving family units, and returning to a meritocracy can the nation truly heal. Throughout their candid, no-holds-barred conversation, Mike and Ryan refuse to yield to political correctness or intimidation. They demonstrate that unwavering loyalty to principles, not party bosses or big money interests, holds the key to restoring freedom, honesty, and opportunity for the next generation in both New Jersey and beyond.
