It's a Numbers Game: What the Numbers Say About Trump and Immigration Pressure

In this episode of Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky breaks down the numbers behind the U.S. strike on Iran—cutting through the chaos, viral clips, and partisan narratives to explain what actually happened and how Americans are reacting.

Ryan walks through the timeline that led to Operation Epic Fury, including months of failed negotiations with Iran over ballistic missiles, the intelligence assessments shaping the White House decision, and the strategic pressure coming from allies in the Middle East. He also analyzes the messaging battle surrounding the conflict, including how a viral clip from Secretary of State Marco Rubio fueled claims that the United States entered the war because of Israel.

Most importantly, Ryan dives into the polling data—from Reuters/Ipsos, CNN, YouGov, and the Washington Post—to reveal what Americans, Republicans, and Democrats really think about the strikes. Are Trump voters united? How much opposition exists inside the GOP? And could the war reshape the political landscape heading into the next election cycle?

Ryan also shares his own candid perspective on the risks of escalation, the challenge of regime change from the air, and why public opinion could become one of the biggest political variables in the conflict.

How powerful are the cartels really—and what do the numbers reveal about their reach, money, and influence?

On this episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky is joined by Border Hawk White House correspondent Wid Lyman for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving cartel landscape following the assassination of a top leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). 

They break down the real numbers behind cartel operations, including:

The scale of cartel presence across 40+ countries

How fentanyl transformed cartel profits into a multi-billion-dollar empire

The shocking rise in violence across 15 Mexican states after the hit

The hidden role of “legitimate” U.S. businesses in cartel money laundering

Why cartel leaders with U.S. ties could reshape operations going forward

How border crackdowns are impacting cartel revenue—and what comes next

Plus, they explore whether Latin America’s political shift toward tougher crime policies could finally limit cartel power—or simply force cartels to adapt.

This episode uncovers the data, strategy, and reality behind one of the most dangerous criminal networks in the world—and why it matters for America’s border, economy, and national security.

In this episode, Ryan sits down with CNN contributor and Salem Radio host Scott Jennings for a sharp, unfiltered breakdown of President Trump’s State of the Union—and the political fallout that followed.

Jennings highlights what he calls the defining moment of the speech: when President Trump challenged Congress to stand up for the American people—and Democrats refused. Was this a turning point heading into the 2026 midterms?

The conversation dives deep into the issues shaping the political battlefield right now:


Why Trump’s disciplined messaging and policy specifics could reshape the GOP’s midterm strategy


How immigration remains Trump’s strongest issue—and a major vulnerability for Democrats


The growing divide between Republican and Democratic voter priorities


Whether Democrats are doubling down on positions that alienate mainstream voters


The role of media narratives, viral moments, and political theater in shaping public perception

Jennings also shares behind-the-scenes insights from his appearances on CNN, revealing the most shocking moments he’s witnessed on live television—and what they say about today’s political climate.

If you want to understand the messaging war heading into 2026, the immigration debate, and why this State of the Union could have lasting political consequences, this is a must-listen episode.
