Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Gerduski. 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 DC 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
(00:25):
the administration is not committed to hitting their three thousand
deportations a day that was rumored a few months ago.
Politico broke a story that I never had a firm
commitment on the three thousand number that allegedly Stephen Miller wanted. Now,
this is number is very high, right, It's very hard
to get to because you have to find these people,
(00:45):
have to go through the court system. There's a legal
back and forth. Judges won't release them, activist 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.
I'm just going to leave the country on my own. Now,
every news outlet, every mainstream news outlet in the country
(01:06):
has had some kind of weepy story of an illegal
alien who knowingly broke the law, came to United States,
and now I scale the repercussions just by the way
that every kind of American citizen would if they, you know, speed,
blow a stop sign, rob a bank, whatever. Our report
from the American Enterprise Institute found that the number of
migrants leaving the US is so large that the foreign
(01:26):
born population is set to contract by between one hundred
thousand and five hundred thousand this year. The Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco disputed the claim. Instead of the
foreign born population will still grow by about one million,
but that's down substantially from the two point five million
that came in twenty twenty four. So I set forth
(01:46):
trying to figure out is mass for deportations even happening
in 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 surveys. It means that about
one point two million foreign born workers in the United
States that where there in January twenty twenty five are
(02:07):
no longer working. Another study by the National Foundation of
American Policy essence that number could be as much large
as one point seven 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 life if you're not working? It's a
good question. Secondly, is remittances to Mexico declined by over
(02:29):
fifteen percent. According to the Mexican Central Bank, remittances have
decreased by almost six percent since the beginning of the year,
and by more than sixteen percent year on year since June.
That's this month, five point two billion dollars was sent
to Mexico. But that is the third consecutive month of decreases.
(02:52):
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 to believe that they're not that they're not
doing that though they're not here, they're starting to leave
and go back to their native country, wherever it being,
in this case Mexico. Third thing is that Hispanic birth
rates have stagnated and begun to decline since Trump took office. Now,
(03:14):
this piece of information is exclusive to both my readers
and my substack, the National Popist 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
(03:35):
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
twenty twenty four versus the first six months of twenty
twenty five, births are down about thirty five hundred, which
is not a lot. It's really not a big decline
at all. The biggest decline in that number comes from
(03:56):
American Indians and from Black Americans, who are really seeing numbers.
Birthrate numbers plummet in a substantial way. Whites are down
about a one 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
(04:17):
of our illegal population. Latinos as a whole are up
byzero point five percent between the first six months of
twenty twenty five versus the first six months of twenty
twenty four. 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 are from February February to June,
Latino births are about down about one thousand. February to
(04:39):
June twenty twenty five. February of June twenty twenty four,
Latino births are down one thousand. And you could say
a thousand is not that many, although it's a large
amount considering that there are only a third of the
size of the white population. But it's not related to
necessarily bad economy. Because last year and the year prior,
Hispanic birth rates were increasing substantially. Every single month. The
(05:02):
Latino birth rate increased by two to seven point five
percent from the year prior. Month on month, it increased
by four percent in January, and the economy was a
lot worse than twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four,
especially with inflation. Then Trump comes in office and instead
of grow, it goes from positive four percent to contracting
(05:23):
by two percent the year prior. And it's basically been
stagnant or declining every single month since. I decided to
be 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
(05:44):
rate decline by four percent. Remember this is February to
June four percent. El Salvadorian women nine percent decline, Indian
women half a point, Guatemalans five percent, Hondurans four point
five percent, Chinese three percent, Brazilians two percent, and Dominican
Republic one point five percent. So almost every single large
(06:06):
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,
(06:29):
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 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 of weeks ago, I hinted that on this
(06:50):
podcast that there was a news coming out about a
Republican congressman who was involved in several scandalous relationships with lobbyists.
Cops have been called over his house in DC over
a dem to 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
(07:10):
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 about publicly. He was married,
(07:32):
but people had heard on the street that they were separated.
He was possibly gaining divorced soon. I chalked it up
to the probably waiting on paperwork to final divorce. Okay, fine, Well,
the friend reached back out to me a couple of
weeks later and told me that the date went well,
but it was extravagant. It cost easily ten thousand dollars,
if not more, and he had lavish gifts on her,
(07:54):
very expensive gifts. And I mean, that's a lot for
a first date. That's on a start Bucks coffee. That's
a lot for our first date. Like if you you know,
that's not somebody who's got a couple of million in
the bank throwing a first date around. That is somebody
with tons, you know, on money, eight figures, healthy into
the eight figures, dropping tens of thousands of dollars to
(08:15):
go on one first date with, you know, a young woman.
Throughout that time day 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.
(08:37):
Another woman who was very well known in Republican media
circles started contacting women, including my friend and others, saying
that 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 in a
(09:00):
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 like that.
She felt unsafe by being around him, and it got
(09:22):
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
(09:42):
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. It
(10:04):
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 Lindsey Langston, who I
(10:26):
never met, but I've heard of going back to twenty
twenty four, 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
(10:48):
of her and sex pictures of her and threaten the
safety of any future boyfriend they had. This is post breakup.
I'm making it clear. They had dated in twenty twenty one,
dated for several years. She moved into his Flora 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 DC lobbyist.
(11:10):
This is the same woman that allegedly that called the
cops and said Corey had hit her, and then she
walked back that claim. She had found out out 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 manipulations, saying how much in
love with her he was and everything. And then when
(11:32):
that didn't work and she had blocked him on all
of her devices, he then started threatening her using Sarah
Ravini'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
(11:55):
posting revenge form a federal crime. It was to take
it down. 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
(12:17):
digital receipts, she had text messages of those threats. He
wrote everything down. The Office of Congressional Conduct, how has
also referred Mills to the House Ethics Committee for investigations,
finding that he likely violated federal ethics contracting campaign finance laws.
(12:37):
Corey Mills owned a weapons company that he founded a
decade plus ago. They would notified that they are foreign
creditors were moving to liquidate tens of millions of dollars
unpaid foreign debt that Corey Mills just happened to never
disclose to Congress despite having a personal liability. That's the
(12:58):
allegation among them 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 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.
(13:19):
He wanted Trump for the US 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 is 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 by the unindicted
co consputor of the nineteen ninety three World Traits Center bombing.
(13:42):
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 and intimidate them and destroy them.
With me on this podcast as one of those journalists
who uncover the story. She knows it all, and she
says all. She'll be here next. Jill Savage is the
(14:06):
host at the Blaze Media. She wrote several groundbreaking pieces
on Representative Corey Mills. Jill, thank you for being here.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Thanks so much for having me Ryan, and for going
through and retweeting the story and doing all that you
can to get the word out.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I've been a big 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 what was your
first hint?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
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
(14:55):
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 this sounds great, right, and
(15:19):
so I was like, okay, yeah, I'll go out for
dinner with you. And it never ended up happening. But
then on February nineteenth, there is now like the infamous
date in like the Corey Mills lure, where the girlfriend
that lived in the DC apartment that we had no
idea she even existed. Well, she called the cops on
him for an alleged assault. Now they both say that
(15:40):
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
(16:01):
he was very lonely. And well, now if we skip
forward to just what we had released this week, there
was not only the DC girlfriends 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
(16:22):
way of saying how I came about Corey Mills.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So when and there were several other girls also involved
in that time. 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's married to, but who is married by is
(16:47):
what's important.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yes, So after the assault incident, after the police recalled,
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 is 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
(17:10):
can see that Corey Mills is married to Rana Alsadi.
And then you get down to the bottom of the
document and it says a mom And I thought, okay, well,
the woman that he's marrying is a nationalized American citizen.
She's from Iraq, she moved over with her family in
two thousand and eight. But you get to the the
a mom's name and it's Mohammed al Hanuti and Ryan.
(17:30):
This My brain just wouldn't let this go. It was like,
you know what, there's something here. I just I'm going
to need to google this guy's name, and I'm sure
it's fine. So I google Mohammad al Hanuti and one
of the very first stories that come up how he's
an unindicted co conspirator for the nineteen ninety three World
Trade Center bombings. He has supposedly donated over you know,
(17:52):
raised over six million dollars 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, call up you know, the people at the
courts in Virginia and they'll tell you everything. There's there's
an actual number that's right there on the meriage certificate
and they're like, yeah, this is this is an official
document that we put out. And so at that point Ryan,
(18:15):
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,
(18:37):
oh no, you know, I'm a Catholic, I'm a Protestant
whatever he called our reporter back and ended up shooting
him out on the phone for fifty 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
(18:58):
so much and was just trying to say, like, don't
contact my wife ever again, like we're 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,
(19:21):
and he says that 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 Mike
Earpiusky's golling off. We learned so much during the story,
and we would reach out to other people like Robert Spencer,
he runs Jihadwatch. He's just an Islamic scholar at this point,
(19:42):
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 in a
mom 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
(20:06):
the al Qaeda mosque that everybody knows it's there, and
falls Church Virginia and you go through and it's just
the craziest story. Ryan that that This led to several
other questions.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, so they're like, this is not a perfect comparison,
but it's what I'm going to use. Like when Leah
Remny'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 Rory would have said something
to that effect, it would have been at least understandable.
Oh you know, I'm just so in love. He didn't
(20:39):
say that, though, and he had an extremely bad reaction.
And several of the girls that I had dated, 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
(21:03):
and the deception. He was also raised by Jehovah's witnesses.
So it's very strange patter behavior. Tell me about Lindsey
and the story with Lindsay that you broke that really
kind of she is the ground. She's like the whistleblower
almost whoop. Sat there and said, this is a man
with a storied and patterned problem towards women.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yes, and Lindsay is involved in GOP Florida politics as well,
and she is the current reigning miss United States. And
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
(21:47):
it's just like it to your point, the patterned 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 charmed.
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
(22:09):
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 so compelling.
And so that's why I think that she she started
dating him back in twenty twenty one. She said he
told her that he had been separated since twenty nineteen
and she wasn't going to move into with him in
(22:31):
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.
(22:54):
He has met her family, they have designed engagement rings,
they have talked about planning a family. Corey wanted to
have more children, and he was. He said that he's
telling her all of these different things like, oh, well,
you know, by the time that you're you're done being
Miss United States, you could be like this far along
(23:14):
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 nineteenth 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,
(23:39):
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, 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 on a trip with with this woman. There's
(23:59):
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 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
(24:22):
that Lindsay had told me, is that she had taken
a photo, you know, 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 eleventh and twelfth, that weekend, and he
(24:44):
had gone through and, as she said, introduce them to
probably fifty 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 going to need you to
take that down, and she's like, that's really weird. Especially
after they had just gone public. She understood everything like
(25:05):
before they had gone public, and she didn't really want
to go public for her own personal reasons as well.
She just didn't She wanted to live her life and
not be associated with a congressman 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
(25:26):
her association with Corey Mills.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
So the behavior that Lindsay said in your piece on
the Blaze and that other women had told me privately,
was it's love bombing, its extravagant gifts, its first dates
on helicopters and yachts, and ten twenty thousand dollars first dates.
(25:49):
Then it moves to threats. Then it moves to like
explicit threats versus the feeling of being threatened, and it's
an explicit threat, then it is threatening associates. What did
he do to Lindsey's boyfriend that he dated? She dated
after him.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
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 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
(26:27):
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
(26:49):
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, and 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
(27:09):
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,
(27:31):
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 the police report with the Columbia
County Sheriff's Department. That's that's where she was on July fourteenth.
(27:52):
That escalated up to FDL, 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 time messages.
She went through and screenshotted 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 will show you absolutely everything. So the
(28:15):
fact that Corey came out and 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 FDL would
(28:37):
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've
seen all of the other fabrications that he has gone through,
(28:59):
and I wouldn't be surprised if this is just another
one in the whole series of things.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Ryan, 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 showing him
to go away.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
She and this is in all of her messages. She's like,
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 has
(29:34):
blocked all of his numbers, right, like everybody on a 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 this story that's about to come out. Well,
he jumps on the DC girlfriend's phone and calls her.
So she's just saying, listen, I just I'm over here
(29:55):
trying to move on, and I'm just trying to make
sure that I'm protected. What she had done is she
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
(30:16):
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.
(30:37):
We had an entire story written out where she was
a Jane Doe because she's like, I don't know, 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, it has turned out to
(30:57):
be such a predator against not just her, but numerous
women behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I just think that it's important context. It's not like
this happened thirty 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 bit for president and
all of a sudden she's coming 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 anologue. One of my friends,
(31:26):
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 going to go disappear,
like I'm going to be missing. That's how this is
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
(31:48):
gifts to some of these girls posting. The one girl
from DC very often post gifts that she receives from
him of bags that are worth fifty sixty thousand dollars,
jewelry and whatnot. How does Corey Mills have so much money?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
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 was married by Amufti 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
(32:26):
pay some defense they get a two hundred and twenty
eight million dollar contract with Iraq and Ryan that contract
was so big and Iraq was handing out so much
money at the time. Even there people called bs and
required an audit on this contract in particular among others
(32:46):
as well. But the defense minister that was there at
that time, he was the Defense minister from twenty fourteen
to twenty sixteen, ended up getting ousted by a vote
of no contests in parliament, no thank you, no confidence
of Parliament and went through and he had to go
because he was giving out crappy deals to his friends.
(33:09):
Even the people in Iraq who have been seeing all
of this chaos are like, you know what, this might
be a little too much for us. So they had
an international arms business that Corey has told us, we
have a recorded phone call. I get absolutely no money
from this business. Zero dollars taken right now. He told
(33:30):
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 two million, two hundred and twenty eight thousand.
But you can't tell me if you're divested or put
(33:51):
in a blind trust for your millions of dollars of
income that you're getting from an international arms company. Well,
then Lindsey, on the phone call with her going back
to our latest story that we dropped, had told me
on the phone. She said, listen that there have been
people that showed up to the Florida house. I was
in a robe. I had no idea that anybody was
(34:11):
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 Pays them as well, and
she said they didn't talk about business at all at
(34:32):
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
(34:53):
to those people and they definitely didn't want to talk
about it in our story, Ryan.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
But well, they's congressional non investigation going. But he's been
referred to for congressional investigation.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
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 all just goes back to Hey, even if
we don't have all the answers, it leads to very
serious questions that should be asked about this man and
(35:24):
his business.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
So The Blaze has been very, very very thorough on
your investigation. Have any other Republicans or conservative figures spoken
yet about the story There.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Are a lot of people behind the scenes. I will
say that there are a lot of people of it
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
(35:59):
him up to the hero. And it has taken a while.
It has 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, thanks, he's a bad guy. It's
(36:20):
just stolen valor. We have the FBI like, there are
so many levels to the story that we're never gonna
have time to get into the entire sordid saga of
Corey Mills here.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Did you see that one website that it had like
for girls to rate if someone has a red flag?
And you did, yeah, well I.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Just saw that. I just saw that yesterday post.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
On Edge, like forty seven red flags. Anyway, jail. This
has been an amazing story. Where can people go to
read more of your work?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yes, go to the Blaze dot com, follow me, follow
me on x. Jill Underscore Savage. I will put out
all of the Twitter threads I am trying to go
through and we're apply 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
(37:11):
that's going on? And I was like, hold on, there
is so much more to the story, So go read
the threads on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
He is the talented mister Mills, that's for sure. Jill,
thank you for comming this podcast.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Ryan you're listening to It's a numbers Game with Ryan Gradsky.
We'll be right back, all right. That was a great interview,
and I want to follow up of 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 you know,
(37:45):
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 Ryan at Numbers gamepodcast dot com. That's at
Numbers Plural Numbers Game podcast dot com. I will get
to every one of your questions eventually. Thank you all
(38:06):
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
(38:27):
designer and I just said, give me a randomized map
of different different election results, like, just make it random.
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 won before. I think they just pulled up the
Obama two thousand and eight map. I don't think that
it's real. I have no idea. I think that they
(38:48):
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 for in years. Maybe
I failed at that. I should have done something. I
should name the podcasts substacks or sexy or something like that,
because I shouldn't have gotten anyone confused. But yeah, that said, Ryan,
(39:10):
this's not to anything. There's nothing, there's no science or
election behind it. Okay. Last question, this comes from Chris
from San Diego. Chris ARCHIDERA. I hope I'm saying your
last name, Chris. He says, I've always enjoyed whenever you
come on the clam Buck Show. I particularly enjoy your
references from the scene n data as the bootleg Ryan Grodski,
I do appreciate when they say that. I had two questions.
(39:31):
Can you share the story of how you create the
podcast on the clan 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 saw
the podcast? I basically when the CNN thing happened, and
(39:54):
I was getting wall to wall, I was getting like,
I mean, I guess I was getting hate. I don't
check my name so and thankfully I don't, and I
don't have the notifications on to even read 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 budded from CNN. I didn't know
(40:18):
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 of shows, making Kelly I think, I went on
Claim Buck, I went on Ben Shapiro and Glenn Back
and yeah, I mean it was nice. And then I
(40:38):
went on Vacation and Clay just said to me, you know,
I think that this would be sorry, I'm back, like
Bucks up 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
(40:58):
at it, and I hope that you got guys enjoy it.
I mean, there's nothing else 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, the question of governor for California. So we
did a whole podcast episode on this a couple of
weeks back on California and it possibly turning red. There's
(41:19):
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 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
(41:41):
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 congressional electorate, governor,
and statewide races is very hard. I don't know of
(42:04):
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
twenty twenty five, the elections in twenty twenty six, Gavin
Newsom will have stepped down. I think the best Republicans
can really hope for and really try for at this point,
(42:25):
while they're still so far down a vout orgistration 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 state wide office. They
came really close to. It wasn't treasure it was like
commission or something like that, or insurance commissioner or some
position like that. They came pretty close last time. I
(42:48):
think they lost only by eleven points, which is a
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 stay
wide office, I think by twenty thirty or twenty thirty
four you could see the possibly of a Republican governor.
It's going to take some time, but the change is happening.
It is, and I give you, guys it too straight.
(43:08):
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, I 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
(43:28):
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. If you like
