By The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
February 16, 2026
On this special Ask Me Anything episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky dives into listener-submitted questions covering the biggest political, economic, and cultural debates shaping America today.
From media narratives around immigration enforcement to the disconnect between economic data and public perception, Ryan breaks down what’s really driving voter anxiety—and why polling doesn’t always tell the full story. He also tackles ranked choice voting in Alaska, the future of key Senate races, and whether Republican messaging is missing the mark on major issues.
Plus, Ryan shares personal stories—from his Queens upbringing to his take on political gossip—and answers thought-provoking questions on topics like the SAVE Act, crime statistics, and the role of institutions in shaping public policy. It’s a fast-moving, unfiltered episode packed with sharp analysis, candid commentary, and direct engagement with the audience.
