Nevada, a state known for its rugged individualism and fierce independence, stands at a crossroads in 2025. As the bureaucratic tentacles of the federal government tighten their grip on our freedoms, one voice is cutting through the noise with clarity and urgency: Ned Ryun. The founder and CEO of American Majority, Ryun has spent decades empowering grassroots activists and conservative leaders to reclaim the principles that built this nation. His latest project, the documentary American Leviathan, is a powerful exposé of the rise of the administrative state—and it’s a wake-up call that Nevadans cannot afford to ignore.
Unveiling the American Leviathan
Released just this week on March 17, 2025, the documentary pulls back the curtain on how Progressive authoritarianism has quietly eroded the constitutional republic envisioned by our Founders. Ryun argues that an unaccountable, sprawling bureaucracy—what he calls the “American Leviathan”—has subverted the will of the people, replacing self-governance with rule by unelected “experts.” For a state like Nevada, where citizens pride themselves on their independence and skepticism of overreach, this message hits home. From federal land management disputes to burdensome regulations stifling small businesses in Las Vegas and Reno, the administrative state’s fingerprints are all over the Silver State.
What makes American Leviathan so compelling is its unflinching look at history and its bold vision for the future. Ryun traces the growth of this bureaucratic behemoth back to the early 20th century, showing how it’s grown into a monster that now employs millions and wields unchecked power. But he doesn’t stop at diagnosis—he offers a cure. The documentary calls for Americans, including Nevadans, to demand accountability from their elected officials and dismantle this oppressive system. It’s a rallying cry for those who believe in a government “of, by, and for the people,” not a faceless machine in Washington, D.C.
Nevada’s Fight Against Bureaucratic Overreach
Here in Nevada, this fight feels personal. Our state has long battled federal overreach, whether it’s the control of vast swaths of public land or policies that threaten our economic vitality. Ryun’s work with American Majority, training thousands of activists and candidates nationwide, proves he’s not just a theorist—he’s a doer. His documentary isn’t just a film; it’s a blueprint for action, and Nevadans have a unique chance to hear from the man himself.
Hear Ned Ryun Live and in Person
On May 15, 2025, Ned Ryun will headline Nevada Policy’s Spirit of Nevada dinner at the Durango Casino & Resort in Las Vegas. This annual benefit dinner, hosted by Nevada Policy—a fierce advocate for limited government and individual liberty—is the perfect stage for Ryun’s message. If you’re tired of watching Nevada slide toward big-government control, this is your opportunity to get inspired and equipped to fight back. The event kicks off with a cocktail reception at 5:30 PM, followed by dinner at 6:30 PM, and promises a night of strategy, inspiration, and connection with like-minded Nevadans.
Ryun’s credentials make him a must-see speaker. A former presidential writer for George W. Bush, a key figure in the Tea Party movement, and a Trump appointee to the 1776 Commission, he brings a wealth of experience and a sharp perspective. His work with American Majority has already trained activists in all 50 states, including here in Nevada, where local leaders are pushing back against progressive overreach.
