1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Gerduski. Thank

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: you guys for being here again this Monday. I hope

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: you had a wonderful weekend. So I have some data

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: for you all, and then I have a good piece

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: of DC gossip that you're not going to want to

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: miss at the end of the show. Okay, First on

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: the data. Is Trump's mass deportations working well? There's two

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: stories telling conflicting narratives. The first, a story emerged that

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: the administration is not committed to hitting their three thousand

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: deportations a day that was rumored a few months ago.

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: Politico broke a story that I never had a firm

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: commitment on the three thousand number that allegedly Stephen Miller wanted. Now,

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: this is number is very high, right, It's very hard

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: to get to because you have to find these people,

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: have to go through the court system. There's a legal

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: back and forth. Judges won't release them, activist get in

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: the way. It's a whole process. But there's also a

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: significant people who have self deported, people who basically said

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to live in fear of being arrested.

20
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm just going to leave the country on my own. Now,

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: every news outlet, every mainstream news outlet in the country

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 1: has had some kind of weepy story of an illegal

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: alien who knowingly broke the law, came to United States,

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: and now I scale the repercussions just by the way

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: that every kind of American citizen would if they, you know, speed,

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: blow a stop sign, rob a bank, whatever. Our report

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: from the American Enterprise Institute found that the number of

28
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: migrants leaving the US is so large that the foreign

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: born population is set to contract by between one hundred

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: thousand and five hundred thousand this year. The Federal Reserve

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Bank of San Francisco disputed the claim. Instead of the

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: foreign born population will still grow by about one million,

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: but that's down substantially from the two point five million

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: that came in twenty twenty four. So I set forth

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: trying to figure out is mass for deportations even happening

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: in how many There are three data points I'm going

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: to give you right now to say yes, it is happening. First,

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: the Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys. It means that about

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: one point two million foreign born workers in the United

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: States that where there in January twenty twenty five are

41
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: no longer working. Another study by the National Foundation of

42
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: American Policy essence that number could be as much large

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: as one point seven million. Now, that doesn't mean that

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: they all maybe left, that they're leaving the job market

45
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: because they're afraid of being rated at work, although how

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: do you maintain life if you're not working? It's a

47
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: good question. Secondly, is remittances to Mexico declined by over

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: fifteen percent. According to the Mexican Central Bank, remittances have

49
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: decreased by almost six percent since the beginning of the year,

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: and by more than sixteen percent year on year since June.

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: That's this month, five point two billion dollars was sent

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: to Mexico. But that is the third consecutive month of decreases.

53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: That's a big, big deal is that they're not even

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: sending money home. Now, maybe they're not sending money home

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: because they're not working, but they're still staying here. But

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: it's leading to believe that they're not that they're not

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: doing that though they're not here, they're starting to leave

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: and go back to their native country, wherever it being,

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: in this case Mexico. Third thing is that Hispanic birth

60
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: rates have stagnated and begun to decline since Trump took office. Now,

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: this piece of information is exclusive to both my readers

62
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 1: and my substack, the National Popist Newsletter, and you guys

63
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: who are listening to me. I took the preliminary numbers

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: from the CDC Wonder and examined the birth rate in

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: the first six months of Trump's term. Overall, the number

66
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: of babies born in the US is down slightly from

67
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: the previous year, but it's not a lot. But among

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: Latinos there is a noticeable shift since the time Trump

69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: had his first full month in office. Okay, so on

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: the birth rate number, comparing the first six months of

71
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four versus the first six months of twenty

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: twenty five, births are down about thirty five hundred, which

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: is not a lot. It's really not a big decline

74
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: at all. The biggest decline in that number comes from

75
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: American Indians and from Black Americans, who are really seeing numbers.

76
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: Birthrate numbers plummet in a substantial way. Whites are down

77
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: about a one thousand, but when you consider how many

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: children they have overall, it's not It's pretty flat. Overall, Asians,

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Native Hawaiians and biracial women are having a big increase.

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 1: Now let's go to Latinos, because that is the bulk

81
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: of our illegal population. Latinos as a whole are up

82
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: byzero point five percent between the first six months of

83
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five versus the first six months of twenty

84
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: twenty four. And I know you're thinking, like Ryan, you

85
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: said they were down. Yes, if you take out the

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: month of January, which Trump was not president for most

87
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: of the month, and just are from February February to June,

88
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: Latino births are about down about one thousand. February to

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: June twenty twenty five. February of June twenty twenty four,

90
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Latino births are down one thousand. And you could say

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: a thousand is not that many, although it's a large

92
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: amount considering that there are only a third of the

93
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: size of the white population. But it's not related to

94
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: necessarily bad economy. Because last year and the year prior,

95
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: Hispanic birth rates were increasing substantially. Every single month. The

96
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Latino birth rate increased by two to seven point five

97
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: percent from the year prior. Month on month, it increased

98
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: by four percent in January, and the economy was a

99
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: lot worse than twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four,

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: especially with inflation. Then Trump comes in office and instead

101
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: of grow, it goes from positive four percent to contracting

102
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: by two percent the year prior. And it's basically been

103
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: stagnant or declining every single month since. I decided to

104
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: be hyper autistic. And I say that with so much love,

105
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: and look at women born in foreign countries, especially ones

106
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: that have the largest illegal alien population. In the United States.

107
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: Mexican born women living in the US saw a birth

108
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: rate decline by four percent. Remember this is February to

109
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: June four percent. El Salvadorian women nine percent decline, Indian

110
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: women half a point, Guatemalans five percent, Hondurans four point

111
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: five percent, Chinese three percent, Brazilians two percent, and Dominican

112
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Republic one point five percent. So almost every single large

113
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: population of illegal aliens saw a pretty substantial decline as

114
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: far as births go, from the time that Donald Trump

115
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: took office. All this data point makes me come to

116
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: the conclusion, Yes, people are mass deporting, whether by the

117
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: government or whether by self deportation. I don't have a

118
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: total number. It's uncertain. It may be uncertain for another year,

119
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: and even though that's happening, legal immigration still remains high,

120
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: something that the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress do

121
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: need to work on reducing. But I would say yes,

122
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: mass deportations from those three numbers, from those three data

123
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: points clearly happening. Okay, let's get to the gossip story.

124
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, I hinted that on this

125
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: podcast that there was a news coming out about a

126
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Republican congressman who was involved in several scandalous relationships with lobbyists.

127
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: Cops have been called over his house in DC over

128
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: a dem to dispute incident with his girlfriend, and there

129
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: were other questions about his finances and military record that

130
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: were questionable. Well, I was probably the first podcaster to

131
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: talk about this and one of the first people with

132
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: any media presence. But now the story's out out, so

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Let me go completely in. This

134
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: story is about the very problematic congressman, Republican Corey Mills

135
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: from Florida. About two years ago, I got a call

136
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: from a friend who said that they were asked by

137
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: Corey on a date and at the time he was

138
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: still married, but it wasn't about publicly. He was married,

139
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: but people had heard on the street that they were separated.

140
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: He was possibly gaining divorced soon. I chalked it up

141
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: to the probably waiting on paperwork to final divorce. Okay, fine, Well,

142
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: the friend reached back out to me a couple of

143
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: weeks later and told me that the date went well,

144
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: but it was extravagant. It cost easily ten thousand dollars,

145
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: if not more, and he had lavish gifts on her,

146
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: very expensive gifts. And I mean, that's a lot for

147
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: a first date. That's on a start Bucks coffee. That's

148
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: a lot for our first date. Like if you you know,

149
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: that's not somebody who's got a couple of million in

150
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: the bank throwing a first date around. That is somebody

151
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: with tons, you know, on money, eight figures, healthy into

152
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: the eight figures, dropping tens of thousands of dollars to

153
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: go on one first date with, you know, a young woman.

154
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: Throughout that time day there they dated, my friend kept

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: telling me things, you know, that he had promised her

156
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: to marry her, to have babies with her. He was

157
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: love bombing her. It was so clearly love bombing, which

158
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: once again happens a lot so who am I to

159
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: sit there and judge. That's when things started going south.

160
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: Another woman who was very well known in Republican media

161
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: circles started contacting women, including my friend and others, saying

162
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: that he had asked her on a date, and she

163
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: had come to realize that he was dating multiple women

164
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: at the same exact time, including a former other Republican

165
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: member of Congress who was also married and in a

166
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: very abusive relationship. She my friend confronted over the text messages,

167
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: and he immediately started not denying it, but the conversation

168
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: and the relationship started changing. It started going from being

169
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: love bombed to feeling very unsafe. I'll just say like that.

170
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: She felt unsafe by being around him, and it got

171
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: so bad that at one point she had said, if

172
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't get out of this relationship, I may go missing.

173
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: I might be gone, girl. That's how uneasy she felt

174
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: around him. Well, stories continued from a bunch of other

175
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: women who found their way to each other, to other

176
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: consultants that I know, and then ultimately to me. It's

177
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: a very small circle if you're working in politics for

178
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: as long as I have, very very very small. Basically,

179
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: everyone kind of found out who all the main players

180
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: were and who all these women were coming forward. Now,

181
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: none of them wanted to sit there and say this publicly. Right,

182
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: it's a very hard thing to do, to be on

183
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: the media and to say this so and so a

184
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: very powerful, strong, wealthy man makes me feel intimidated. It

185
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: makes me feel unsafe, you know, he screwed me over

186
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: and a lot of relationships go like that. A lot

187
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: of men are players, and a lot of men in

188
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Congress are players, So that in itself is not enough

189
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: to really be a story aside from just being gossip.

190
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: But then something happened that took things to the next level.

191
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: A woman by the name of Lindsey Langston, who I

192
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: never met, but I've heard of going back to twenty

193
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: twenty four, that he had been seeing. She had come

194
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: out with a shocking allegation. She's a Florida Republican State

195
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: Committee woman and the reigning Miss United States Beauty pageant winner.

196
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: She's a gorgeous woman. She filed a restraining order against

197
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: Corey Mills, saying that he threatened to release sex videos

198
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: of her and sex pictures of her and threaten the

199
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: safety of any future boyfriend they had. This is post breakup.

200
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: I'm making it clear. They had dated in twenty twenty one,

201
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: dated for several years. She moved into his Flora house.

202
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: He had promised to marry her and have babies with her,

203
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: and then she discovered that he was in a relationship

204
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: with a woman named Sarah Ravini, a well known DC lobbyist.

205
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: This is the same woman that allegedly that called the

206
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: cops and said Corey had hit her, and then she

207
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: walked back that claim. She had found out out this,

208
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: so she broke the relationship off. She said that he

209
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: would text her repeatedly after they broke up, wanting to

210
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: get back together, using emotional manipulations, saying how much in

211
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: love with her he was and everything. And then when

212
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: that didn't work and she had blocked him on all

213
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: of her devices, he then started threatening her using Sarah

214
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: Ravini's phone, saying, if you speak about this, speak about me,

215
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: I will release our private sex videos. I will release

216
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: pictures about you being naked. Now. Remember this came at

217
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: the same time Representative Corey Mills had voted to making

218
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: posting revenge form a federal crime. It was to take

219
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: it down. It's the law of the land now. So

220
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: while he's voting to make that a federal crime, he

221
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: is threatening the sitting Miss United States Beauty pageant winner

222
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: with revenge porn. Now he's not been charged on any crime,

223
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I want to make that very clear. But she had

224
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: digital receipts, she had text messages of those threats. He

225
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: wrote everything down. The Office of Congressional Conduct, how has

226
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: also referred Mills to the House Ethics Committee for investigations,

227
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: finding that he likely violated federal ethics contracting campaign finance laws.

228
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: Corey Mills owned a weapons company that he founded a

229
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: decade plus ago. They would notified that they are foreign

230
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: creditors were moving to liquidate tens of millions of dollars

231
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: unpaid foreign debt that Corey Mills just happened to never

232
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: disclose to Congress despite having a personal liability. That's the

233
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: allegation among them the investigation. Now, this all may seem

234
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: like just gossip to some people, right, maybe he lost

235
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: his temper, maybe he's just a player, and maybe he

236
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: is going through a midlife crisis. I'm sure some people

237
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: are possibly thinking all that. But Corey Mills is just

238
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: not any Republican congressman. He is somebody with ambition behind him.

239
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: He wanted Trump for the US Senate in Florida. He

240
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: wanted to hold a cabinet position in the Trump administration.

241
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: He has floated the idea of being the lieutenant governor

242
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: of Florida. He is somebody who wants to go somewhere,

243
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: and he is somebody who has not been honest about

244
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: almost any aspect of his life, from his military record

245
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: to the fact that he was married by the unindicted

246
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: co consputor of the nineteen ninety three World Traits Center bombing.

247
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: He is a long and storied series of allegations from

248
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: multiple women, almost all of them Republican women, that he

249
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: was going to threaten them and intimidate them and destroy them.

250
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: With me on this podcast as one of those journalists

251
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: who uncover the story. She knows it all, and she

252
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: says all. She'll be here next. Jill Savage is the

253
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: host at the Blaze Media. She wrote several groundbreaking pieces

254
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: on Representative Corey Mills. Jill, thank you for being here.

255
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for having me Ryan, and for going

256
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: through and retweeting the story and doing all that you

257
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: can to get the word out.

258
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: I've been a big supporter and I wanted to we

259
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: reached out. I reached out to you a while back

260
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: about this story because I had known about it for

261
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: quite some time. Do you want to say how you

262
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: first came about hearing about this or what was your

263
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: first hint?

264
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, the very first time that I ever heard

265
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: the name Corey Mills, he rescued my best friend's husband

266
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: out of Israel. So I was like, oh, wow, this

267
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: is incredible. And then I actually ended up meeting him

268
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: in October. It was after Hurricane Helene, and we were

269
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: both out there volunteering and spent the entire day with

270
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: the congressman out there, and then ended up running into

271
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: him at several other events the next following weeks and months,

272
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: and so I probably ran into him probably like five

273
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: or six times. And then at some point Ryan he

274
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: asked me out on a date somewhere mid December, and

275
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, you know, like he rescued my best

276
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: friend's husband, he's out there, like we're all volunteering together,

277
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: we're all really conservative, Like this sounds great, right, and

278
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: so I was like, okay, yeah, I'll go out for

279
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: dinner with you. And it never ended up happening. But

280
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: then on February nineteenth, there is now like the infamous

281
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: date in like the Corey Mills lure, where the girlfriend

282
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: that lived in the DC apartment that we had no

283
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: idea she even existed. Well, she called the cops on

284
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: him for an alleged assault. Now they both say that

285
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: nothing happened that day, but either way, she called the

286
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: cops and gave them a statement and said that Corey

287
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: Mills was her significant other for over a year. But

288
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: if we go back to that October day where I

289
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: met him, he had told me that he is completely single,

290
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: There was absolutely no one in his life, and that

291
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: he was very lonely. And well, now if we skip

292
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: forward to just what we had released this week, there

293
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: was not only the DC girlfriends living with him in

294
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: the penthouse, but there was also a woman living in

295
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: Florida that had been dating Corey for years. And oh yeah,

296
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: by the way, he's still married. He was telling everybody

297
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: he was divorced. So that is like the very quick

298
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: way of saying how I came about Corey Mills.

299
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: So when and there were several other girls also involved

300
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: in that time. Yes, I knew a bunch of them.

301
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: So let's talk about first, your story with the marriage,

302
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: because that was the first piece you really broke about Corey.

303
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: Explain who Corey was married by, which is the important part,

304
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: not who's married to, but who is married by is

305
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: what's important.

306
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: Yes, So after the assault incident, after the police recalled,

307
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: I started looking in to Corey Mills and I thought, Man,

308
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: who is this guy? If he's going out there and

309
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: just lying about this, what else is he? What else

310
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: does he have in his past? And so I saw

311
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: a comment that said, if you think this is interesting,

312
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: you should go look at his marriage certificate. So that's

313
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 2: what I did. And when I looked it up, you

314
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: can see that Corey Mills is married to Rana Alsadi.

315
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: And then you get down to the bottom of the

316
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: document and it says a mom And I thought, okay, well,

317
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: the woman that he's marrying is a nationalized American citizen.

318
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: She's from Iraq, she moved over with her family in

319
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. But you get to the the

320
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: a mom's name and it's Mohammed al Hanuti and Ryan.

321
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 2: This My brain just wouldn't let this go. It was like,

322
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: you know what, there's something here. I just I'm going

323
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: to need to google this guy's name, and I'm sure

324
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: it's fine. So I google Mohammad al Hanuti and one

325
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: of the very first stories that come up how he's

326
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: an unindicted co conspirator for the nineteen ninety three World

327
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: Trade Center bombings. He has supposedly donated over you know,

328
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 2: raised over six million dollars for Hamas Muslim Brotherhood ties.

329
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 2: Like I was like, holy cow, what do you mean,

330
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: there's no way this can be true. Well, you can

331
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: go ahead, call up you know, the people at the

332
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: courts in Virginia and they'll tell you everything. There's there's

333
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: an actual number that's right there on the meriage certificate

334
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, this is this is an official

335
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: document that we put out. And so at that point Ryan,

336
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 2: our team here at Blaze Media, we went through and

337
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: did the entire investigation and reached out for comments to

338
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: Corey and said, hey, like is this true? Right? We

339
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: reached out and we asked him two questions, what is

340
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: the congressman's religion and is it true that this man

341
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 2: officiated your wedding? And so instead of just like saying,

342
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: oh no, you know, I'm a Catholic, I'm a Protestant

343
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: whatever he called our reporter back and ended up shooting

344
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 2: him out on the phone for fifty minutes. And we thought, man, like,

345
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: if you are just like a Catholic, a Protestant, whatever,

346
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: this is a really weird response to just say no,

347
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 2: there's nothing to see here, right, Like he was protesting

348
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: so much and was just trying to say, like, don't

349
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: contact my wife ever again, like we're going through a

350
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: nasty divorce. And her dad died back in Iraq and

351
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: her brother died back in Iraq, and how dare you

352
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: guys even try and bring up any of these memories.

353
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: And so we're just like, all right, there's something to it.

354
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: But he did admit that this man ended up marrying him,

355
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 2: and he says that he goes through the story of

356
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: how his mother in law just wanted an Iraqi to

357
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 2: marry them. So Ryan, we've learned so much, and Mike

358
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 2: Earpiusky's golling off. We learned so much during the story,

359
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: and we would reach out to other people like Robert Spencer,

360
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 2: he runs Jihadwatch. He's just an Islamic scholar at this point,

361
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: and we're like, all right, what's what are the odds

362
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 2: that a non Muslim man would be married to a

363
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: Muslim woman by a mufti, not even just in a

364
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 2: mom right. A mufti is several levels higher than that.

365
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: And he's going through now and Corey Mills is trying

366
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: to say, oh, no, I would never even be allowed

367
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: into that mosque, which, by the way, the mosque is

368
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: the al Qaeda mosque that everybody knows it's there, and

369
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: falls Church Virginia and you go through and it's just

370
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: the craziest story. Ryan that that This led to several

371
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: other questions.

372
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're like, this is not a perfect comparison,

373
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: but it's what I'm going to use. Like when Leah

374
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: Remny's husband was talking about why he converted to scientology,

375
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: he said, I was so in love. I would have

376
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: converted anything for her. If Rory would have said something

377
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: to that effect, it would have been at least understandable.

378
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: Oh you know, I'm just so in love. He didn't

379
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: say that, though, and he had an extremely bad reaction.

380
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: And several of the girls that I had dated, sorry

381
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: that he had dated, that I had talked to, said

382
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: that he would constantly make references that Islam and Christianity

383
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: are basically the same thing, and you could easily convert

384
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: from one to the other, and he would never be

385
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: honest with the religion part. And I think that that's

386
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: an important thing because it's a testament to the character

387
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: and the deception. He was also raised by Jehovah's witnesses.

388
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: So it's very strange patter behavior. Tell me about Lindsey

389
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: and the story with Lindsay that you broke that really

390
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: kind of she is the ground. She's like the whistleblower

391
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: almost whoop. Sat there and said, this is a man

392
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: with a storied and patterned problem towards women.

393
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: Yes, and Lindsay is involved in GOP Florida politics as well,

394
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: and she is the current reigning miss United States. And

395
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: I got a connection. Somebody reached out on X and said, hey,

396
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: you really need to talk to this person. And so

397
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 2: I had a phone conversation with Lindsay the next morning

398
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: and we spoke for an hour and at that point,

399
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: Lindsay went through all of the background with him, and

400
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 2: it's just like it to your point, the patterned behavior,

401
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: everything that she was saying to me, I'm like, I've

402
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: heard this before, right, And it was just one thing

403
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: where if he says all these things, he's so charmed.

404
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 2: He's so charismatic. He'll make you believe everything that he says.

405
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 2: But one of the lines that Lindsay said is if

406
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: he only wrote everything down and you just read everything

407
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: that he was trying to convey to you, you'd be like, oh,

408
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: none of this makes sense. He's talking in circles, but

409
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: the way that he presents the information is so compelling.

410
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: And so that's why I think that she she started

411
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 2: dating him back in twenty twenty one. She said he

412
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 2: told her that he had been separated since twenty nineteen

413
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: and she wasn't going to move into with him in

414
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: that Florida house until he was divorced. Well, we figured

415
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: out that he still wasn't divorced even when our story

416
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: started to break. But he had told Lindsay that the

417
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: summer before, oh everything is done. Everything is final. So

418
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: you see just the deception and the lies that he's

419
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 2: willing to tell women. And it's not just the one

420
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 2: woman that he thinks, you know, she thinks that she's

421
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: going to be engaged to him Ryan. He is going through.

422
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: He has met her family, they have designed engagement rings,

423
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 2: they have talked about planning a family. Corey wanted to

424
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: have more children, and he was. He said that he's

425
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 2: telling her all of these different things like, oh, well,

426
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 2: you know, by the time that you're you're done being

427
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: Miss United States, you could be like this far along

428
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: pregnant and you I'm thinking, I'm just listening to all

429
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: these conversations and going, man like, I can absolutely see

430
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: how you thought you were the only one in his life.

431
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 2: But you know, then the February nineteenth incident happened, and

432
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: that rocked her world as well. She was down there

433
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: in Florida. She didn't know, you know, she had like

434
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: hints that there was something going wrong with with other women,

435
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 2: but he would always have an answer. That's the that's

436
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: the problem is he's so he's so effective at communicating

437
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: that he would oh, no, no, no, it wasn't just this

438
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 2: girl that was there. It was you know, my chief

439
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: of staff Catherine was also there, and there were oh

440
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: there was on a trip with with this woman. There's

441
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 2: a reason that all these other women keep popping up

442
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: over and over again. You don't understand. This is my job.

443
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 2: I'm in politics, and Ryan. One of the biggest things

444
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: that happens time and time again is you can always

445
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 2: see it that none of these women are allowed to

446
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: post pictures with Corey and put them on like their

447
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: Instagram page, say, And that was one of the stories

448
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: that Lindsay had told me, is that she had taken

449
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: a photo, you know, their feet on the beach down

450
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: there in Florida, and she posted it for Valentine's Day.

451
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 2: She didn't tag him in anything, but he asked her, hey,

452
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 2: can you remove that now? He had just gone public

453
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: a few weeks prior to that. The Florida GOP meetings

454
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: happened like January eleventh and twelfth, that weekend, and he

455
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 2: had gone through and, as she said, introduce them to

456
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 2: probably fifty different people. This is my girlfriend, Lindsay. So

457
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: you can imagine like she posts a picture of their

458
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: feet on Valentine's Day at the beach, like a cute picture,

459
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: and he's like, hey, I'm going to need you to

460
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: take that down, and she's like, that's really weird. Especially

461
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 2: after they had just gone public. She understood everything like

462
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 2: before they had gone public, and she didn't really want

463
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: to go public for her own personal reasons as well.

464
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: She just didn't She wanted to live her life and

465
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 2: not be associated with a congressman because she was running

466
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: for her own office there in Florida, and she wanted

467
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: to make sure that people were electing her because they

468
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: cared about her in the position and not because of

469
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: her association with Corey Mills.

470
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: So the behavior that Lindsay said in your piece on

471
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: the Blaze and that other women had told me privately,

472
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: was it's love bombing, its extravagant gifts, its first dates

473
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: on helicopters and yachts, and ten twenty thousand dollars first dates.

474
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: Then it moves to threats. Then it moves to like

475
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: explicit threats versus the feeling of being threatened, and it's

476
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: an explicit threat, then it is threatening associates. What did

477
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: he do to Lindsey's boyfriend that he dated? She dated

478
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: after him.

479
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 2: So this is where the extortion comes into play in

480
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: this story. Is that obviously Lindsay tried to break things

481
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: off with Corey and just move on with her life

482
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 2: after she figured out, oh you have another girl living

483
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: with you in Washington, d C. I'm out of here.

484
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: I'm going to move on with my life, and so

485
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: that's what she was doing. She was just going around

486
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: trying to date, trying to get some semblance of normality

487
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: around her, and that's when Corey basically lost it. In

488
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: text messages. It's both text messages and messages on Instagram

489
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: as well, and he explicitly threatened one, I have videos

490
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 2: of you. I will send them to anybody that you

491
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 2: date in the future, sexual videos of them together. Because yeah,

492
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: they had the long distance relationship, they were together for years.

493
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: She thought she was the only one. She had no

494
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: idea that this was going to happen, and Corey continuously

495
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: made threats against her. She's like, I don't know if

496
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: I'm ever going to be safe again, and that feeling

497
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: where she thought this was her person. She thought she

498
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: was going to be married to him by, you know,

499
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: by the fall. Honestly, he was trying to go through

500
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: and say we could get married as soon as you're done,

501
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: you know, being miss Usa, you can be so many

502
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 2: weeks along pregnant, and for that to flip so quickly,

503
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: for him to be like, anybody that you ever date

504
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: had better be ready. I don't care if you know,

505
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: if it's going to be the next weeks, months, or years.

506
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: They had better be on the lookout because they better

507
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: know that I am coming for them. So you can

508
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: see why, like this woman would just be so frightened,

509
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: and this is the way that she's going through. It's

510
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: just like she filed the police report with the Columbia

511
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: County Sheriff's Department. That's that's where she was on July fourteenth.

512
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: That escalated up to FDL, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

513
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 2: The week after. She has had several you know, like

514
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 2: interviews with them. She's turned over all the time messages.

515
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: She went through and screenshotted all the texts, and she

516
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: did videos of them and like would show them the

517
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: actual time receipts because she's like, I have nothing to

518
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: hide here. If you want to see everything here, it

519
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: is like, I will show you absolutely everything. So the

520
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: fact that Corey came out and he didn't reply for

521
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 2: comment for our article, but he did to Politico when

522
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: they reached out, and oh, none of this is true.

523
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: This is, you know, misrepresenting what I said. We'll get

524
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 2: to the bottom of this. I haven't even been notified

525
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: of any of these lawsuits, which we would think is

526
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: a very far stretch because as soon as FDL would

527
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: have taken it over. An attorney that I talked to

528
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: in Florida said within two to three days, they would

529
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: have most likely notified Corey, and that was weeks ago.

530
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: So I mean, he can go out there and play

531
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: the pr Games however he wants to. He has every

532
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: right to do that for himself. But you know, we've

533
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: seen all of the other fabrications that he has gone through,

534
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't be surprised if this is just another

535
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: one in the whole series of things.

536
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: Ryan, So I just have two or three more questions. One,

537
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: what is she ultimately trying to do. She's not trying

538
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: to get money out of him. She's really showing him

539
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: to go away.

540
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: She and this is in all of her messages. She's like,

541
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: I would really just like you to leave me alone.

542
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: And that became more evident that he was not going

543
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: to do that. And Ryan, I think that even just

544
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: the reply, the response to our article, shows that Corey

545
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: was never going to leave her alone. Like she has

546
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: blocked all of his numbers, right, like everybody on a staff,

547
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: they're blocked on her phone, right, So what does he

548
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: do to try and get a hold of her, to

549
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: try and kill this story that's about to come out. Well,

550
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: he jumps on the DC girlfriend's phone and calls her.

551
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: So she's just saying, listen, I just I'm over here

552
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 2: trying to move on, and I'm just trying to make

553
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: sure that I'm protected. What she had done is she

554
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: went to the courts and tried to get a restraining

555
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: order put in place, and she was, you know, before

556
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: the court and trying to get all the legal stuff done.

557
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: She just wants to go through and make sure that

558
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: she is safe and can move on from a relationship

559
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: that was you know, lies and manipulation and it literally

560
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: has raised to the level of extortion, right, which is

561
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: a felony in the state of Florida. So she's just like,

562
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: please leave me alone, and that's where we are. She's

563
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: not trying to get any money. She really was hesitant.

564
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: She wasn't going to put her name into this story.

565
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: We had an entire story written out where she was

566
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: a Jane Doe because she's like, I don't know, I

567
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: don't even I'm not looking for the attention. But she

568
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: thought it was going to be more powerful and that

569
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: other women because as we know, there are always more

570
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: the other women might come forward with their story as well.

571
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: Because this man, you know, it has turned out to

572
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: be such a predator against not just her, but numerous

573
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: women behind the scenes.

574
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: I just think that it's important context. It's not like

575
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 1: this happened thirty years ago and she's just imagining it.

576
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: He's not well. I guess he's running for reelection, but

577
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: it's not like he's announced a bit for president and

578
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden she's coming forward. She's not asking

579
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: for money. No, I think it's this is a very

580
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: clear cut Please leave me alone. I think you're dangerous.

581
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: And I said this in anologue. One of my friends,

582
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: one of the people I know who dated him, said

583
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: at one point she was like, I feel like if

584
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: I don't get away from him, I'm going to go disappear,

585
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: like I'm going to be missing. That's how this is

586
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: the feeling comes across. He spends a lot of money.

587
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: He has a very luxurious lifestyle, tens of thousands of

588
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: dollars a month in rent, gifts, hundreds of thousands in

589
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: gifts to some of these girls posting. The one girl

590
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: from DC very often post gifts that she receives from

591
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: him of bags that are worth fifty sixty thousand dollars,

592
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: jewelry and whatnot. How does Corey Mills have so much money?

593
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: So he was an international arms dealer. And this is

594
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: where it comes in, like it goes back to the

595
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: radical Islamic ties that he was married by Amufti and

596
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: then he goes through and him and his wife they

597
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: start a consulting company and an international arms company. And

598
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 2: within the first year of starting this international arms company

599
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: pay some defense they get a two hundred and twenty

600
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: eight million dollar contract with Iraq and Ryan that contract

601
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: was so big and Iraq was handing out so much

602
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: money at the time. Even there people called bs and

603
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: required an audit on this contract in particular among others

604
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: as well. But the defense minister that was there at

605
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: that time, he was the Defense minister from twenty fourteen

606
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: to twenty sixteen, ended up getting ousted by a vote

607
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: of no contests in parliament, no thank you, no confidence

608
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: of Parliament and went through and he had to go

609
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: because he was giving out crappy deals to his friends.

610
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: Even the people in Iraq who have been seeing all

611
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: of this chaos are like, you know what, this might

612
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: be a little too much for us. So they had

613
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 2: an international arms business that Corey has told us, we

614
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: have a recorded phone call. I get absolutely no money

615
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: from this business. Zero dollars taken right now. He told

616
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: us he's divested in a blind trust, and then we

617
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: asked him which one, and he goes, oh, that was

618
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: four years ago. How am I supposed to remember what

619
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: I've done now? This is the man that can tell

620
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: you the exact number of bullets that went on a

621
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: plane to take back Fallujah. He can tell you, nose

622
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: to tail it's two million, two hundred and twenty eight thousand.

623
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 2: But you can't tell me if you're divested or put

624
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 2: in a blind trust for your millions of dollars of

625
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: income that you're getting from an international arms company. Well,

626
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: then Lindsey, on the phone call with her going back

627
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: to our latest story that we dropped, had told me

628
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: on the phone. She said, listen that there have been

629
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: people that showed up to the Florida house. I was

630
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 2: in a robe. I had no idea that anybody was

631
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: going to be coming over to the house. I had

632
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: no clue, and they dropped off a bag full of cash.

633
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: It not only happened in Florida, it also happened in Washington,

634
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: d C. They were out at a steakhouse and they

635
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 2: said that they were out. It was her and Corey

636
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 2: and two other people from Pays them as well, and

637
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: she said they didn't talk about business at all at

638
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: this steakhouse. But Corey left that dinner with a bag

639
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: full of cash. So it comes into question, right, and again, Hey,

640
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: maybe maybe he has every right to that bag full

641
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: of cash. I don't know. We haven't gotten to the

642
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: bottom of that. But what I do know is that's

643
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 2: what she told us. And we reached out for comment

644
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: to those people and they definitely didn't want to talk

645
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: about it in our story, Ryan.

646
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: But well, they's congressional non investigation going. But he's been

647
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: referred to for congressional investigation.

648
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, because he hasn't been open and honest about

649
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 2: all of his finances. And what they will tell you

650
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 2: is that he's not cooperating with that investigation. So that

651
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: is it all just goes back to Hey, even if

652
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 2: we don't have all the answers, it leads to very

653
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: serious questions that should be asked about this man and

654
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: his business.

655
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: So The Blaze has been very, very very thorough on

656
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: your investigation. Have any other Republicans or conservative figures spoken

657
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: yet about the story There.

658
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: Are a lot of people behind the scenes. I will

659
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 2: say that there are a lot of people of it

660
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: know and have been following along, much like yourself. But

661
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: I think that we are now reaching a tipping point

662
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: that they see, oh man, it's not just one thing.

663
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: It's you know, because he he pays a lot of

664
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: money for his comms team, right, and they have built

665
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 2: him up to the hero. And it has taken a while.

666
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: It has taken several stories for even just some of the

667
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: normies to go, no, no, no, this is this is

668
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: the guy who goes and rescues people. He's not a

669
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: bad one. And then they read one story, and two

670
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: story and three stories and they're like, oh crap, So

671
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 2: everybody that knows him, thanks, he's a bad guy. It's

672
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: just stolen valor. We have the FBI like, there are

673
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 2: so many levels to the story that we're never gonna

674
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: have time to get into the entire sordid saga of

675
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 2: Corey Mills here.

676
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: Did you see that one website that it had like

677
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: for girls to rate if someone has a red flag?

678
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: And you did, yeah, well I.

679
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 2: Just saw that. I just saw that yesterday post.

680

Speaker 1: On Edge, like forty seven red flags. Anyway, jail. This

681
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,520

00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: for waiting and holding back. This one comes from Ryan

710
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: Anthony in Tucson. He says thank you for your podcast

711
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: and for inviting comments from listeners. The electoral college results

712
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: behind your podcast logo what year is it from? Okay?

713
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: This is This is a really funny story. So when

714
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: I was doing this podcast, I went to a graphic

715
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: designer and I just said, give me a randomized map

716
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: of different different election results, like, just make it random.

717
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: I was hoping for like a red New York and

718
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: a blue Texas, and a red Virginia and a blue

719
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina, like a map that clearly no one had

720
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: ever won before. I think they just pulled up the

721
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: Obama two thousand and eight map. I don't think that

722
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: it's real. I have no idea. I think that they

723
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: just made almost every state loop. So it's not a

724
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: real map. It's not for anything. There's nothing behind it.

725
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: It was just supposed to be random to show like

726
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to discuss elections throughout for in years. Maybe

727
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: I failed at that. I should have done something. I

728
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: should name the podcasts substacks or sexy or something like that,

729
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 1: because I shouldn't have gotten anyone confused. But yeah, that said, Ryan,

730
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: this's not to anything. There's nothing, there's no science or

731
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: election behind it. Okay. Last question, this comes from Chris

732
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: from San Diego. Chris ARCHIDERA. I hope I'm saying your

733
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: last name, Chris. He says, I've always enjoyed whenever you

734
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: come on the clam Buck Show. I particularly enjoy your

735
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: references from the scene n data as the bootleg Ryan Grodski,

736
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: I do appreciate when they say that. I had two questions.

737
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: Can you share the story of how you create the

738
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: podcast on the clan Buck network and who approached you

739
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: and how did you get started? And the second one

740
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: is I have a podcast within the fishing industry where

741
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: I work, and you interviewed someone for governor and you

742
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: want to know how quickly somebody could become a Republican

743
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: governor in California. Okay, great question. So how I saw

744
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: the podcast? I basically when the CNN thing happened, and

745
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: I was getting wall to wall, I was getting like,

746
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I was getting hate. I don't

747
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: check my name so and thankfully I don't, and I

748
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: don't have the notifications on to even read my results.

749
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: I did not realize that like The New York Times

750
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: and TMZ and like a bunch of other major outlets

751
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: had covered my being budded from CNN. I didn't know

752
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: at first that Abby Phillips had made this whole video response.

753
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: Now she pretends like I never existed, but she made

754
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: this whole video response, and I don't know. I just

755
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: didn't see a lot of it. I went on a

756
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: couple of shows, making Kelly I think, I went on

757
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: Claim Buck, I went on Ben Shapiro and Glenn Back

758
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean it was nice. And then I

759
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: went on Vacation and Clay just said to me, you know,

760
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: I think that this would be sorry, I'm back, like

761
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: Bucks up to me, I think this would be a

762
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: great fit on our podcast network. You're a very unique

763
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: niche you talk about data really in depth, and I

764
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: think there's an audience for that. And he gave me

765
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do it. And I've worked really hard

766
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: at it, and I hope that you got guys enjoy it.

767
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing else kind of to that. I

768
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: just that's basically the long and short of it. And yeah,

769
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: and I try to bring you guys the data. Ever

770
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: since then, the question of governor for California. So we

771
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: did a whole podcast episode on this a couple of

772
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: weeks back on California and it possibly turning red. There's

773
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: a shift in California. For sure. Voter registration for Republicans

774
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: is up. It's not as up for Democrats, even with

775
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: Trump being president. In states that have since reported voter registration,

776
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: which does not include California, it reports only once or

777
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: twice a year, so it hasn't reported yet the new

778
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: voter registration numbers. But everywhere else we have not seen

779
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: the surge of Democrat enrollment the way we did the

780
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: first time that Trump was president. So I think there's

781
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: opportunity for Republicans to grow in California. I think there's

782
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: a number of state legislative seats certainly that they could take.

783
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: If redistricting doesn't go forward or doesn't go forward as much,

784
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: who knows what would happen in the congressional electorate, governor,

785
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: and statewide races is very hard. I don't know of

786
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: anyone right now who's really got the juice, and I

787
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: don't think the Republican vote is there. It's getting there,

788
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: but we are years away from it. Unfortunately, now it's

789
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, the elections in twenty twenty six, Gavin

790
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: Newsom will have stepped down. I think the best Republicans

791
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: can really hope for and really try for at this point,

792
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: while they're still so far down a vout orgistration is

793
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: if they can win enough legislative seats to break the

794
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: Democrats super majority, that would be a victory. Get a

795
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: foothold there, try to win one state wide office. They

796
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: came really close to. It wasn't treasure it was like

797
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: commission or something like that, or insurance commissioner or some

798
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: position like that. They came pretty close last time. I

799
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: think they lost only by eleven points, which is a

800
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: Republican in California is a lot. That's what they did

801
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: very very well. I mean, so if they can sit

802
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: there and make those gains this time, win one stay

803
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: wide office, I think by twenty thirty or twenty thirty

804
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: four you could see the possibly of a Republican governor.

805
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: It's going to take some time, but the change is happening.

806
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: It is, and I give you, guys it too straight.

807
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: When people ask how about Colorado, how about Oregon, I'm like, nope, nope, nope,

808
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: Sorry guys, this is not I'm not seeing a big

809
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: trajectory Vermont, I said, Vermont, Nope, that's just not in

810
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: the cards right now. California being more competitive has proven itself,

811
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: not in one presidential election, but in two. I think

812
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 1: we're getting there. Just got to keep it going into

813
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: the future. So thank you so much Chris for writing that,
