Welcome back to A Numbers Game with Ryan Graduski. Thank you guys for being here again this Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. So I have some data for you all and then I have a good piece of D.C. gossip that you're not going to want to miss at the end of the show. Okay, first on the data, is Trump's mass deportations working? Well, there's two stories telling conflicting narratives. The first, a story emerged that the administration is not committed to hitting their 3,000 deportations a day. That was rumored. A few months ago, Politico broke a story that ICE never had a firm commitment on the 3,000 number that allegedly Stephen Miller wanted. Now, this number is very, very high. Right? It's, it's, it's very hard to get to because you have to find these people, have to go through the court system. There's a legal back and forth, judges won't release them, activists get in the way. It's a whole process. But there's also a significant people who have self deported, people who basically said, I don't want to live in fear of being arrested, so I'm just going to leave the country on my own. Now, every news outlet, every mainstream news outlet in the country has had some kind of weepy story of an illegal alien who knowingly broke the law, came to United States and now has dealt with repercussions just the way that every kind of American citizen would if they, you know, speed, blow a stop sign, rob a bank, whatever. A report from the American Enterprise Institute found that the number of migrants leaving the US Is so large that the foreign born population is said to contract by between 100,000 and 500,000 this year. The Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco disputed the claim and said that their foreign born population will still grow by about 1 million, but that's down substantially from the 2.5 million that came in 2024. So I set forth trying to figure out is mass deportations even happening and how many. There are three data points I'm going to give you right now to say yes, it is happening. First, the Bureau of Labor Statistics survey estimates that about 1.2 million foreign born workers in the United States that were there in January 2025 are no longer working. Another study by the national foundation of American Policy estimates that number could be as large as 1.7 million. Now, that doesn't mean that they all maybe left, that they're leaving the job market because they're afraid of being rated at work. Although how do you maintain a life if you're not working? It's a good question. Secondly, is remittances to Mexico decline by over 15%? According to the Mexican Central bank, remittances have decreased by almost 6% since the beginning of the year and by more than 70, 16% year on year since June. That's this month. $5.2 billion was sent to Mexico. And, and, but that is the third consecutive month of decreases. That's a big, big deal, is that they're not even sending money home. Now, maybe they're not sending money home because they're not working, but they're still staying here. But it's leading me to believe that they're not, that they're not doing that. They're not here. They're starting to leave and go back to their native country, wherever it be, in this case, Mexico. Third thing is that Hispanic birth rates have stagnated and begun to decline since Trump took office. Now, this piece of information is exclusive to both my readers of my substack, the national populist newsletter, and you guys who are listening to me. I took the preliminary numbers from the CDC Wonder and examined the birth rate in the first six months of Trump's term. Overall, the number of babies born in the US Is down slightly from the previous year, but it's not a lot. But among Latinos, there is a noticeable shift since the time Trump had his first full month in office. Okay, so on the birth rate number, comparing the first six months of 2024 versus the first six months of 2025, births are down about 3,500, which is not a lot. It's really not a big decline at all. The biggest decline in that number comes from American Indians and from black Americans who are really seeing numbers. Birth rate numbers plummet in a substantial way. Whites are down about a thousand, but when you consider how many children they have overall, it's not, it's pretty flat overall. Asians, Native Hawaiians and biracial women are having a big increase. Now let's go to Latinos, because that is the bulk of our illegal population. Latinos as a whole are up by 0.5% between the first six months of 2025 versus the first six months of 2024. And I know you're thinking like Ryan, you said they were down. Yes. If you take out the month of January, which Trump was not president for most of the month, and just start from February, February to June, Latino births are down about a thousand. February to June 2025, February, June 2024, Latino births are down a thousand. Now, you could say a thousand is not that many, although it's a large amount considering they are only a third of the size of the white population. But it's not related to necessarily a bad economy because last year and the year prior, Hispanic birth rates were increasing substantially every single month. The Latino birth rate increased by 2 to 7.5% from the year prior month on month, it increased by 4% in January. And the economy was a lot worse in 2023 and 2024, especially with inflation. Then Trump comes in office and instead of grow, it goes from positive 4% to contracting by 2% the year prior. And it's basically been stag or declining every single month since. I decided to be hyper, hyper autistic. And I say that with so much love. And look at women born in foreign countries, especially ones that have the largest illegal alien population in the United States. Mexican born women living in the US saw a birth rate decline by 4%. Remember, this is February to June, 4%, El Salvadorian women, 9% decline. Indian women, half a point, Guatemalans, 5%, Hondurans 4.5%, Chinese, 3%, Brazilians, 2%, and Dominican Republic 1.5%. So almost every single large population of illegal aliens saw a pretty substantial decline as far as births go from the time that Donald Trump took office. All this data point makes me come to the conclusion, yes, people are mass deporting, whether by the government or whether by self deportation. I don't have a total number. It's uncertain. It may be uncertain for another year. And even though that's happening, legal immigration still remains high, something that the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress do need to work on, on reducing. But I would say, yes, mass deportations from those three numbers, from those three data points clearly happening. Okay, let's get to the gossip story. A couple weeks ago, I hinted that on this podcast that there was a news coming out about a Republican congressman was involved in several scandalous relationships with lobbyists. Cops have been called over his house in D.C. over a domestic dispute incident with his girlfriend. And there were other questions about his finances and military record that were questionable. Well, I was probably the first podcaster to talk about this and one of the first people with any media presence. But now the story's out, out. So let's talk about it. Let me go completely in. This story is about the very problematic Congressman, Republican Corey Mills from Florida. About two years ago, I got a call from a friend who said that they were asked by Corey on a date. And at the time he was still married, but it wasn't. But publicly he was married, but people had heard on the street that they were separated. He was, you know, possibly getting divorced soon. I chalked it up to they're probably waiting on paperwork to file divorce. Okay, fine. Well, the friend reached back out to me a couple weeks later and told me that the date went well, but it was extravagant. It cost easily $10,000, if not more. And he had lavished gifts on her very exp. Gifts. And I mean, that's a lot for a first date. That's on a Starbucks coffee. That's a lot for a first date. Like if you've, you know, that's not somebody who's got a couple million in the bank throwing a first date around. That is somebody with tons, you know, of money. Eight figures, healthy into the eight figures, dropping tens of thousands of dollars to go on one first date with, you know, a young woman. Throughout that time there, they dated. My friend kept telling me things, you know, that he had promised her to marry her, to have babies with her. He was love bombing her. It was so clearly love bombing, which once again happens a lot. So who am I to sit there and judge? That's when things started going south. Another woman, who's very well known in Republican media circles, started contacting women, including my friend and others saying that he, he had asked her on a date and she had come to realize that he was dating multiple women at the same exact time, including a former other Republican member of Congress who was also married and allegedly in a very abusive relationship. She, my friend confronted over the text messages, and he immediately started not denying it. But the conversation and the relationship started changing. It started going from being love bombed to feeling very unsafe. I'll just say it like that. She felt unsafe by being around him. And it got so bad that at one point she had said, if I don't get out of this relationship, I may go missing. I might be gone, girl. That's how uneasy she felt around him. Well, stories continued from a bunch of other women who found their way to each other, to other consultants that I know, and then ultimately to me. It's a very small circle if you're working in politics for as long as I have. Very, very, very small. Basically, everyone kind of found out who all the main players were and who all these women were coming forward. Now, none of them wanted to sit there and say this publicly. Right. It's a very hard thing to do, to be on the media and to say this so and so. A very powerful, strong, wealthy man makes me feel intimidated, makes me feel unsafe. You know, he screwed me over. And a lot of relationships go like that. A lot of men are players and a lot of men in Congress are players. So that in itself is not enough to really be a story aside from just being gossip. But then something happened that took things to the next level. A woman by the name of Lindsay Langston, who I never met, but I've heard of going back to 2024, that he had been seeing. She had come out with a shocking allegation. She's a Florida Republican State Committee woman and the reigning Miss United States beauty pageant winner. She's a gorgeous woman. She filed a restraining order against Corey Mills, saying that he threatened to release sex videos of her and sex pictures of her and threatened the safety of future boyfriend. They had this post breakup. I'm making that clear. They had dated in 2021, dated for several years. She moved into his Florida house. He had promised to marry her and have babies with her. And then she discovered that he was in a relationship with a woman named Sarah Ravini, a well known D.C. lobbyist. This is the same woman that allegedly that. That called the cops and said Corey had hit her. And then she walked back that claim she had found out about this. So she broke the relationship off. She said that he would text her repeatedly after they broke up, wanting to get back together, using emotional manipulation, saying how much in love with her he was and. And everything. And then when that didn't work and she had blocked him on all of her devices, he then started threatening her, using Sarah Rovini's phone, saying, if you speak about this, speak about me, I will release Our private sex videos. I will release pictures about you being naked. Now remember, this came at the same time Representative Corey Mills had voted to making posting revenge porn a federal crime. It was the Take It Down Act. It's the law of the land now. So while he's voting to make that a federal crime, he is threatening the sitting Miss United States beauty pageant winner with revenge porn. Now, he's not been charged on any crime. I want to make that very clear. But she had digital receipts, she had text messages of those threats. He wrote everything down. The Office of Congressional Conduct has also referred Mills to the House Ethics Committee for investigations, finding that he likely violated federal ethics contracting campaign finance laws. Corey Mills owned a weapons company that he founded, you know, a decade plus ago. He they were notified that their foreign creditors were moving to liquidate tens of millions of dollars of unpaid foreign debt that Corey Mills just happened to never disclose to Congress despite having a personal liability. That's the allegation among the investigation. Now this all may seem like just gossip to some people, right? Maybe he lost his temper. Maybe he's just a player and maybe he is, you know, going through a midlife crisis. I'm sure some people are possibly thinking all that. But Corey Mills is just not any Republican congressman. He is somebody with ambition behind him. He wanted Trump for the U.S. senate in Florida. He wanted to hold a cabinet position in the Trump administration. He has floated the idea of being the Lieutenant Governor of Florida. He's somebody who wants to go somewhere and he is somebody who has not been honest about almost any aspect of his life from his military record to the fact that he was married to by the unindicted co conspirator of the 1993 World Trade center bombing. He is a long and storied series of allegations from multiple women, almost all of them Republican women, that he was going to threaten them, intimidate them and destroy them. With me on this podcast is one of those journalists who uncovered the story. She knows it all and she says it all. She'll be here next.

Jill Savage is the host at the Blaze Media. She wrote several groundbreaking pieces on Representative Corey Mills. Jill, thank you for being here.
Ryan Graduski
Thanks so much for having me, Ryan, and for going through and retweeting the story and doing all that you can to. To get the word out.
Cindy Crawford
I've been a big guy supporter, and I wanted to. We reached out. I reached out to you a while back about this story because I had known about it for quite some time. Do you want to say how you first came about hearing about this or. Or what was your first hint?
Ryan Graduski
Yeah. So the very first time that I ever heard the name Corey Mills, he rescued my best friend's husband out of Israel. So I was like, oh, wow, this is incredible. And then I actually ended up meeting him in October. It was after Hurricane Helene, and we were both out there volunteering and spent the entire day with the congressman out there and then ended up running into him at several other events the next following weeks and months. And so I probably ran into him probably like five or six times. And then at some point, Ryan, he asked me out on a date somewhere mid December. And I thought, oh, you know, like, he rescued my best friend's husband. He's out there. Like, we're all volunteering together. We're all really conservative. Like, like, this sounds great, right? And so I was like, okay, yeah, I'll go out for a, you know, dinner with you. And it never ended up happening. But then on February 19, there is now, like, the infamous date and like, the Corey Mills lure where the girlfriend that lived in the D.C. apartment that we had no idea she even existed while she called the cops on him for an alleged assault. Now, they both say that nothing happened that day, but either way, she called the cops and gave them a statement and said that Corey Mills was her significant other for over a year. But if we go back to that October day where I met him, he had told me that he is completely single, there was absolutely no one in his life, and that he was very lonely. And. Well, now if we skip forward to just what we had released this week, there was not only the D.C. girlfriend living with him in the penthouse, but there was also a woman living in Florida that had been dating Corey for years. And, oh, yeah, by the way he's still married, he was telling everybody he was divorced. So that is, like, the very quick way of saying how I came about Corey Mills.
Cindy Crawford
So when. And there were several other girls also involved in that time. Oh, yes, I knew a bunch of them. So let's talk about first, your story with the marriage, because that was the first piece you really broke about Corey. Explain who Corey was married by, which is the important part. Not who he's married to, but who he's married by is what's important.
Ryan Graduski
Yes. So after the assault incident, after the police were called, I started looking in to Corey Mills. And I thought, man, who is this guy? If he's going out there and just lying about this? What else does he. What else does he have in his past? And so I saw a comment that said, if you think this is interesting, you should go look at his marriage certificate. So that's what I did. And when I looked it up, you can see that Corey Mills is married to Rana Al Saadi. And then you get down to the bottom of the document, and it says, imam. And I thought, okay, well, the woman that he's marrying is a naturalized American citizen. She's from Iraq. She moved over with her family in 2008. But you get to the MO. The imam's name, and it's Muhammad Al Hanouti. And, Ryan, this. My brain just wouldn't let this go. It was like, you know what? There's something here. I just. I'm gonna need to Google this guy's name, and I'm sure it's fine. So I Google Mohammed Al Hanouti. And one of the very first stories that come up, how he's an unindicted co conspirator for the 1993 World Trade center bombings. He has supposedly donated over, you know, raised over $6 million for Hamas Muslim Brotherhood ties. Like, I was like, holy cow. What do you mean there's no way this can be true? Well, you can go ahead and call up, you know, the people at the courts in Virginia, and they'll tell you everything. There's a. There's an actual number that's right there on the marriage certificate. And they're like, yeah, this is. This is an official document that we put out. And so at that point, Ryan, our team here at Blaze Media, we went through and did the entire investigation and reached out for comments to Corey and said, hey, like, is this true? Right. We reached out, and we asked him two questions. What is the congressman's religion? And is it true that this man Officiated your wedding. And so instead of just like saying, oh, no, you know, I'm a Catholic, I'm a Protestant, I'm whatever. He called our reporter back and ended up chewing him out on the phone for 50 minutes. And we thought, man, like, if you are just like a Catholic, a Protestant, whatever, this is a really weird response to just say, no, there's nothing to see here. Right. Like, he was protesting so much and was just trying to say, like, don't contact my wife ever again. Like, were going through a nasty divorce and her dad died back in Iraq and her brother died back in Iraq, and how dare you guys even try and bring up any of these memories. And so we're just like, all right, there's something to it. But he did admit that this man ended up marrying him. And he says that he. He goes through the story of how his mother in law just wanted an Iraqi to marry them. So, Ryan, we've learned so much. And my earpiece keeps falling out. We learned so much during the story. And we would reach out other people, like Robert Spencer, he runs Jihad watch. He's just an Islamic scholar at this point. And we're like, all right, what's. What are the odds that a non Muslim man would be married to a Muslim woman by a mufti, not even just an imam. Right. A mufti is several levels higher than that. And he's going through now. And Corey Mills is trying to say, oh, no, I would never even be allowed into that mosque. Which, by the way, the mosque is the Al Qaeda mosque that everybody knows it's there in Falls Church, Virginia. And you go through. And it's just the craziest story, Ryan, that this led to several other questions.
Cindy Crawford
Yeah. So the. So they're like, this is not a perfect comparison, but it's what I'm going to use. Like, when Leah Remini's husband was talking about why he converted to Scientology, he said, I was so in love, I would have converted anything for her. If Cory would have said something to. To that effect, it would have been at least understandable. Oh, you know, I'm just so in love. He didn't say that, though. And he had an extremely bad reaction. And several of the girls that I dated that. Sorry. That he had dated, that I had talked to, said that he would constantly make references that Islam and Christianity are basically the same thing, and you could easily convert from one to the other, and he would never be honest with the religion part. And I think that that's an important thing because It's a testament to the character and the deception. He was also raised by Jehovah's Witnesses. So it's very strange pattern behavior. Tell me about Lindsay and the story with Lindsay that you broke that really kind of. She is the ground. She's like the whistleblower almost, who sat there and said, this is a man with a storied and pattern problem towards women.
Ryan Graduski
Yes. And Lindsay is involved in GOP Florida politics as well, and she is the current reigning Miss United States. And I got a. I got a connection. Somebody reached out on X and said, hey, you really need to talk to this person. And so I had a phone conversation with Lindsay the next morning, and we spoke for an hour. And at that point, Lindsay went through all of the background with him. And it's just like, to your point, the pattern behavior, everything that she was saying to me, I'm like, I've heard this before, right? And it was just one thing where if he says all these things, he's so charming, he's so charismatic, he'll make you believe everything that he says. But one of the lines that Lindsay said is if he only wrote everything down and you just read everything that he was trying to convey to you, you'd be like, oh, none of this makes sense. He's talking in circles. But the way that he presents the information is, is so compelling. And so that's why I think that she. She started dating him back in 2021. She said he told her about that he had been separated since 2019, and she wasn't going to move into with him in that Florida house until he was divorced. Well, we figured out that he still wasn't divorced even when our story started to break. But he had told Lindsay that the summer before, oh, everything is done, everything is final. So you see just the deception and the lies that he's willing to tell women. And it's not just the one woman that he thinks, you know, she thinks that she's going to be engaged to him. Ryan, he is going through. He has met her family. They designed engagement rings. They have talked about planning a family. Corey wanted to have more children. And he was.
Cindy Crawford
She's not the only one that he.
Ryan Graduski
Said he's telling her all of these different things, like, oh, well, you know, by the time that you're. You're done being Ms. United States, we. You could be like this far along pregnant. And you. I'm thinking, I'm just listening to all these conversations and going, man, like, I can absolutely see how you thought you were the only one in his life. But, you know, then the February 19th incident happened, and that rocked her world as well. She was down there in Florida. She didn't know. You know, she had, like, hints that there was something going wrong with. With other women, but he would always have an answer. That's the. That's the problem is he's so. He's so effective at communicating that he would. Oh, no, no. It wasn't just this girl that was there. It was. You know, my chief of staff, Catherine was also there, and there were. Oh, there was.
Cindy Crawford
Catherine's a very big player and everything.
Ryan Graduski
On a trip with. With this woman. There's a reason that all these other women keep popping up over and over again. You don't understand. This is my job. I'm in politics. And, Ryan, one of the biggest things that. That. That happens time and time again is you can always see it, that none of these women are allowed to post pictures with Corey and put them on, like, their Instagram page, say. And that was one of the stories that Lindsay had told me, is that she had taken a photo, you know, their. Their feet on the beach down there in Florida, and she posted it for Valentine's Day. She didn't tag him in anything, but he asked her, hey, can you remove that now? He had just gone public a few weeks prior to that, the Florida GOP meetings happened, like, January, like, 11th and 12th that weekend, and he had gone through and, as she said, introduced them to probably 50 different people. This is my girlfriend, Lindsay. So you can imagine, like, she posts a picture of their feet on Valentine's Day at the beach, like, a cute picture. And he's like, hey, I'm gonna need you to take that down. And she's like, that's. That's really weird. Especially after they had just gone public. She understood everything. Like, before they had gone public, and she didn't really want to go public for. For her own personal reasons as well. She just didn't. She wanted to live her life and. And not be associated with a. Because she was running for her own office there in Florida, and she wanted to make sure that people were electing her because they cared about her in the position and not because of her association with Corey Mills.

So the. The behavior that Lindsay said in your piece on the Blaze and that other women had told me privately was, it's love bombing. It's extravagant gifts. It's first dates on helicopters and yachts and 10, $20,000 first dates. Then it moves to threats. Then it moves to, like, explicit Threats versus the feeling of being threatened. Then it's an explicit threat. Then it is threatening associates around you. What did he do to Lindsay's boyfriend that he dated? She dated after him.
Ryan Graduski
So this is where the extortion comes into play in this story, is that obviously Lindsay tried to break things off with Corey and just move on with her life after she figured out, oh, you have another girl living with you in Washington D.C. i'm, I'm out of here. I'm going to move on with my life. And so that's what she was doing. She was just going around trying to date, trying to get some semblance of normality around her. And that's when Corey basically lost it in text messages. It's both text messages and messages on Instagram as well. And he explicitly threatened one. I have videos of you. I will send them to anybody that you date in the future. Sexual videos of them together. Because, yeah, they had the long distance relationship. They were together for years. She thought she was the only one. She had no idea that this was going to happen. But when Corey continuously made threats against her, she's like, I don't know if I'm ever going to be safe again. And that feeling where she thought this was her person, she thought she was going to be married to him by, you know, by the fall. Honestly, he was trying to go through and say, we could get married as soon as you're done, you know, being Miss usa, you can be so many weeks along pregnant, and for that to flip so quickly, for him to be like, anybody that you ever date had better be ready. I don't care if, you know, if it's going to be the next weeks, months or years, they had better be on the lookout because they better know that I am coming for them. So you can see why, like, this woman would just be so frightened. And this is the way that she's going through. It's just like she filed a police report with the Columbia County Sheriff's Department. That's the, that's where she was on July 14th. That escalated up to FDLE, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the week after. She has had several, you know, like, interviews with them. She's turned over all the text messages she went through and screenshotted and all the texts and she did videos of them and, like, would show them the actual time receipts because she's like, I have nothing to hide here. If you want to see everything, here it is like, I, I will show you absolutely everything. So the fact that Corey came out and He. He didn't reply for comment for our article, but he did to Politico when they reached out. And, oh, none of this is true. This is, you know, misrepresenting what I said. We'll get to the bottom of this. I haven't even been notified of any of these lawsuits, which we would think is a very far stretch, because as soon as FDLE would have taken it over, an attorney that I talked to in Florida said within two to three days, they would have most likely notified Corey. And that was weeks ago. So, I mean, he can go out there and play the PR games however he wants to. He has every right to do that for himself. But, you know, we. We've seen all of the other fabrications that he has gone through, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is just another one in the who series of things. Ryan.
Cindy Crawford
So I just have two or three more questions. One, what is she ultimately trying to do? She's not trying to get money out of him. She's really trying to go away.
Ryan Graduski
She. And, and this is in all of her messages. She's like, I. I would really just like you to leave me alone. And that became more evident that he was not going to do that. And, Ryan, I think that even just the reply, the response to our article shows that Corey was never going to leave her alone. Like, she. She has blocked all of his numbers. Every. Right, like everybody on his staff, they're blocked on her phone. Right. So what does he do to try and get a hold of her to try and kill the story that's about to come out? Well, he jumps on the D.C. girlfriend's phone and calls her. So she's just saying, listen, I just. I'm over here trying to move on, and I'm just trying to make sure that I'm protected. So what she had done is went to the courts and tried to get a restraining order put in place. And she was, you know, before the court and trying to get all the legal stuff done. She just wants to go through and make sure that she is safe and can move on from a relationship that was, you know, lies and manipulation. And it literally has raised to the level of extortion. Right. Which is a felony in the state of Florida. So she's just like, please leave me alone. And that's where we are. She's not trying to get any money. She really was hesitant. She wasn't going to put her name into this story. We had an entire story written out where she was a Jane Doe because she's Like, I don't know if I. I don't even. I'm not looking for the attention. But she thought it was going to be more powerful and that other women, because as we know, there are always more. The other women might come forward with their story as well. Because this man, you know, has turned out to be such a predator against not just her, but numerous women behind the scenes.
Cindy Crawford
I just think that it's important context. It's not like this happened for 30 years ago, and she's just imagining it. He's not. Well, I guess he's running for reelection, but it's not like he's announced a bid for president, and all of a sudden she's going forward. She's not asking for money. No, I think it's. This is a very clear cut. Please leave me alone. I think you're dangerous. And I said this in monologue. One of my friends, one of the people I know who dated him, said at one point, she was like, I feel like if I don't get away from him, I'm gonna go disappear. Like, I'm gonna be missing. That's how I. This, this, the feeling comes across. He spends a lot of money. He has a very luxurious lifestyle. Tens of thousands of dollars a month in rent, gifts, hundreds of thousands in gifts to some of these girls posting. The One girl from D.C. very often posts gifts that she receives from him of bags that are worth 50, 60 thousand dollars, jewelry and whatnot. How does Corey Mills have so much money?
Ryan Graduski
So he was an international arms dealer. And this is where it comes in. Like, it goes back to the radical Islamic ties that he's married by a mufti, and then he goes through, and him and his wife, they start a consulting company and an international arms company. And within the first year of starting this international arms company, pay some defense. They get a $228 million contract with Iraq. And Ryan, that contract was so big and Iraq was handing out so much money at the time, even their people called BS and required an audit on this contract in particular, among others as well. But the defense minister that was there at that time, he was the defense minister from 2014 to 2016, ended up getting ousted by a vote of no contest in parliament. Thank you. No confidence in parliament. And went through. And he had to go because he was giving out crappy deals to his friends. Even the people in Iraq who have failed been seeing all of this chaos are like, you know what? This might be a little too much for us. So they had a. An international arms business that Corey has told us, we have a recorded phone call. I get absolutely no money from this business. $0 taken right now. He told us he's divested in a blind trust. And then we asked him which one. And he goes, oh, that was four years ago. How am I supposed to remember what I've done now? This is the man that can tell you the exact number of bullets that went on a plane to take back Fallujah. He can tell you, nose to tail, it's 2,228,000. But you can't tell me if you're divested or put in a blind trust for your millions of dollars of income that you're getting from an international arms company. Well, then Lindsay, on the phone call with her, going back to our latest story that we dropped, had told me on the phone, she said, listen, there have been people that showed up to the Florida house. I was in a robe. I had no idea that anybody was going to be coming over to the house. I had no clue. And they dropped off a bag full of cash. It not only happened in Florida, it also happened in Washington, D.C. they were out at a steakhouse and they said that they were out. It was her and Corey and two other people from, from pay some as well. And she said they, they didn't talk about business at all at this steakhouse. But Corey left that dinner with a bag full of cash. So it comes into question. Right. And again, hey, maybe, maybe he has every right to that bag full of cash. I don't know. We haven't gotten to the bottom of that. But what I do know is that's what she told us. And we reached out for comment to those people and they definitely didn't want to talk about it in our story, Ryan, but.
Cindy Crawford
Well, there's a congressional not investigation going. But he's been referred to for congressional investigation.
Ryan Graduski
Yes, yes. Because he hasn't been open and honest about all of his finances. And what they will tell you is that he's not cooperating with that investigation. So that is, it's, it all just goes back to, hey, even if we don't have all of the answers, it leads to very serious questions that should be asked about this man and his business.
Cindy Crawford
So the Blaze has been very, very, very thorough on your investigation. Have any other Republicans or conservative figures spoken yet about this story?
Ryan Graduski
There are a lot of people behind the scenes. I will say that there are a lot of people that know and have been following along, much like yourself. But I think that we are now reaching a tipping point that they see. Oh man, it's not just one thing. It's, you know, because he, he pays a lot of money for his comms team, right? And they have built him up to be the hero. And, and it has taken a while. It's taken several stories for even just some of the normies to go, no, no, no, this is, this is the guy who goes and rescues people. He's not a bad one. And then they read one story and two story and three stories and they're like, oh, crap. So everybody that knows him thinks he's a bad guy. Did you see that website Stolen Valor? We have the FBI, like, there are so many levels to the story that we're never going to have time to get into the entire sordid saga of Corey Mills here.
Cindy Crawford
Did you see that one website that had like for girls to rate if someone has a red flag? You did.
Ryan Graduski
Yeah. Well, I just saw that. I just saw that yesterday.
Cindy Crawford
Post on, on X like 47 red flags. Anyway, Jill, this has been an amazing story. Where can people go to read more of your work?
Ryan Graduski
Yes, go to TheBlaze.com following follow me on X. Jill, underscore Savage. I will put out all of the Twitter threads. I am trying to go through and reply to as many people because I think that a lot of people are going to first learn about Corey Mills right now and figure out, oh wait, wait, what is this extortion? What is the sexual blackmail thing that's going on? And I was like, hold on, there is so much more to this story. So go read the threads on Twitter.

All right, that was A great interview and I want to follow up with this story and I hope you guys like it. I know it's not data oriented, but it is the story that people should be talking about when it comes to Republicans looking at ourselves and making sure we have the best among us serving in Congress. Now for the Ask Me Anything segment. I love this segment. I love your questions. If you want to be part of the Ask Me Anything segment, email me ryanumbersgame podcast.com that's ryanumbers plural numbersgamepodcast.com I will get to every one of your questions eventually. Thank you all for waiting and holding back. This one comes from Ryan Anthony in Tucson. He says thank you for your podcast and for inviting comments from listeners. The electoral college results behind your podcast logo. What year is it from? Okay, this is, this is a really funny story. So when I was doing this podcast, I went to a graphic designer and I just said, give me a randomized map of different, different election results. Like, just make it random. I was, I was hoping for like a red New York and a blue Texas and a red Virginia and a blue North Carolina. Like a map that clearly no one had ever one before. I think they just pulled up the Obama 2008 map. I don't think that it's real, though. I have no idea. I think that they just made almost every state loop. So it's not a real map. It's not for anything. There's nothing behind it. It was just supposed to be random to show like I'm going to discuss elections throughout different years. Maybe I failed at that, that I should have done something. I should name the podcast substacks or sexy or something like that because I shouldn't have gotten anyone confused. But yeah, that's it, Ryan. It's not to anything. There's nothing, there's no election behind it. Okay, last question. This comes from Chris from San Diego, Chris Archadera. I hope I'm saying your last name. Chris. He says. I've always enjoyed whenever you come on the Clay and Buck show. I particularly enjoy your references from the CNN data as the bootleg Ryan Grusky. I do appreciate when they say that. I had two questions. Can you share the story of how you created the podcast on the Clay and Buck network and who approached you and how did you get started? And the second one is, I have a podcast within the fishing industry where I work. And you interviewed someone for governor and you want to know how quickly somebody could become a Republican governor in California. Okay, great question. So how I started the podcast. I basically when the CNN thing happened and I was getting wall to wall, I was getting like. I mean, I guess I was getting hate. I, I don't check my name so. And thankfully I don't. And I don't have the notifications on to even read my, my results. I did not realize that like the New York Times and TMZ and like a bunch of other major outlets had covered my being booted from cnn. I didn't know at first that Abby Phillips had made this whole video response. Now she pretends like I never existed, but she made this whole video response and I don't know, I just didn't see a lot of it. I went on a couple shows. Megyn Kelly, I think I went on Clay and Buck. I went on Ben Shapiro and Glenn Beck and yeah, I mean, it was nice. And then I went on vacation and Clay just said to me, you know, I think that this would be. Sorry, not Clay, Buck. Buck said to me, I think this would be a great fit on our podcast network. You're a very unique niche. You talk about data really in depth and I think there's an audience for that. And he gave me the opportunity to do it and I've worked really hard at it and I hope that you guys enjoy it. I mean, there's nothing that was kind of to that. I just. That's basically the long and short of it. And yeah. And I try to bring you guys the data ever since then on the question of governor for California. So we did a whole podcast episode on this a couple weeks back on California and it possibly turning red. There's a shift in California for sure. Voter registration for Republicans is up. It's not as up for Democrats, even with Trump being president. In states that have since reported voter registration, which does not include California, it reports only once or twice, twice a year. So it hasn't reported yet the new voter registration numbers. But everywhere else we have not seen the surge of Democrat enrollment the way we did the first time that Trump was president. So I think there's opportunity for Republicans to grow in California. I think there's a number of state legislative seats certainly that they could take. If redistricting doesn't go forward or doesn't go forward as much, who knows what would happen in the, in the congressional electorate. Governor and statewide racist is very hard. I don't know of anyone right now who's really got the juice. And I don't think the Republican vote is there. It's getting there, but we are years away from it unfortunately now it's 2025. The election's in 2026. Gavin Newsom will have stepped down. I think the best Republicans can really hope for and really try for at this point while they're still so far down to voter registration, is if they can win enough legislative seats to break the Democrats super majority, that would be a victory. Get a foothold there, try to win one statewide office. They came really close to. It wasn't treasurer, it was like commissioner or something like that, or insurance commissioner or some, some position like that. They came pretty close last time. I think they lost only by 11 points, which in Republican in California is a lot. That's what they did very, very well. I mean, so if they can sit there and make those gains this time, win one statewide office, I think, think by 2030 or 2034 you could see the possibility of a Republican governor. It's going to take some time, but the change is happening. It is. And I give you guys a just straight. When people ask, how about Colorado, how about Oregon? I'm like, nope, nope, nope. Sorry guys, this is not, I'm not seeing a big trajectory. Vermont. Somebody said Vermont. Nope. That's just not in the cards right now. California, being more competitive, has proven itself not in one presidential election, but in two. I think we're getting there. Just got to keep it going into the future. So thank you so much Chris for writing that and thank you guys for listening. Thank you. And I will see you guys on Thursday's episode.

Employment Decline Among Foreign-Born Workers:
Decrease in Remittances to Mexico:
Stagnation and Decline in Hispanic Birth Rates:
Savage concludes that these indicators suggest both governmental and self-deportations are contributing to a reduction in the foreign-born population in the U.S., although there is some contention among institutions like the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco regarding the overall population impact.
