On this episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky breaks down the latest 2026 census birth data and what it reveals about immigration trends, declining fertility rates, and the future of the U.S. population.

From double-digit drops in immigrant birth rates to a nationwide fertility rate falling below replacement levels, Ryan explains why these numbers matter—and how policy changes may be driving the shift.

Plus, a deep dive into the Wisconsin and Georgia election results, where surprising turnout trends and shifting voter coalitions signal potential trouble ahead for Republicans. Are key parts of the Trump coalition slipping away?

And in New York City, Ryan unpacks a controversial new racial equity agenda, examining the data, the political implications, and the broader debate over policy, fairness, and economic outcomes.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome back to a number's name. It's Ryan Grodwski. Thank
you guys for being here, Ladies and gentlemen. I have
so much data to go over from the last week.
It is new census data on birth. It's the Wisconsin
and Georgia elections. It's Mayor Mandami's new anti white agenda
that he's pushing forward and how it fits into the
modern ardy Democratic Party.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Let's get straight into it.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
So first on the new birth data out from the
CDC for February of twenty twenty six. Now, I want
to remind you it is preliminary data, so it's subject
to change, but it is a big indicator because it's
not going to change by that much, and it's an
indicator on a number of policy fronts, especially immigration. I
have said on this podcast time and time again that

(00:42):
birth data is a lagging indicator for immigration data. Basically,
if you're an illegal alien and you're pregnant in February, January,
March of twenty twenty five, you're not going to deport
on your own You're not going to self deport because
you want to have a baby who becomes an American citizen,
who's an anchor and eighteen years that anchor baby can
sponsor you for a green card and for residency and

(01:05):
eventually for citizenship. As time goes on, though, and Trump's
policies are enacted, the number of women who were pregnant
when he first got into office dwindles, and because they
have their baby, and then the number of new pregnant
women diminishes if he's effectively carrying out mass deportation or
self deportation, right, and we're going to see that as

(01:28):
months and months go by in his own administration. So
from the CDC data, every major group of immigrants who
usually give birth to large populations I'm talking one thousand
or more children per month, have seen a double digit
decline in the February twenty twenty six numbers in comparison

(01:50):
to twenty twenty five. Among Chinese immigrants it's down seventeen
point five percent, Among Colombians ten point five percent, Dorians
negative twenty two percent, El Salvadorians negative fifteen percent, Guatemalans
negative sixteen percent, Haitians negative sixteen percent, Honduran's negative fifteen percent,

(02:10):
and Mexican's the largest group negative thirteen percent. The only
group with large populations who give birth to more than
one thousand children a month. In America that didn't really
see a decline were Indians, Cubans, and Venezuelans. With the
immigration crackdown, the US fertility rate has dropped to one
point five seven children per woman. Now remember you need

(02:34):
two point one children per woman to meet replacement levels.
So we are under replacement levels, but we are far
ahead of most of Europe, of most of Asia, of Australia,
of South America. I mean, we're really for an advanced country.
We're up with the higher levels of fertility rates. Now,
aside from American Indians, Native Americans, and Native Hawaiians, all

(02:57):
other races and ethnicities saw their numbers decline from February
twenty twenty five to February twenty twenty six. They are
raw numbers of births. This is especially true of Black Americans.
The decline of Black Americans as far as birth rates go,
is staggering. It's one of the cultural phenomenons that no

(03:19):
one is really talking about in the mainstream media or
in conservative media, you know, and they kind of question,
I mean, conservatives especially run to the issue of abortion
because blacks do have more abortions and they bought more
babies than any other demographic. It's not that simple, though, right,
because abortion was much higher in the nineties and two thousands,

(03:42):
and the number of states having access easier access to
abortion in black where where there's a large Black predominant population,
like the Deep South was, abortion was much more easily
available then, even five years ago than it is today
because with the overturning of Rob Wade and states enacting
strict abortion restrictions.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Part of the.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Reason, and this is a good, valid thing that has
happened in our culture, the amount of teen pregnancies and
women who are having children as teenagers has declined by
over ninety five percent in the Black community over the
last twenty years. When I was growing up, I mean,
it was very common for someone to have a team pregnancy.

(04:24):
It wasn't that kind of, you know, much of a
weird thing. It wasn't like it wasn't like everyone was
doing it, but it wasn't uncommon at all, especially among
the Black community where it was the largest. The number
of team pregnancies and team births has declined substantially, which
is also, by the way, why adoption has become so
much harder in this country. I have so many friends

(04:47):
who are trying to adopt a baby, and with foreign
countries really cracking down on foreign adoption and the number
of teen pregnancies declining, I mean I have friends waiting
for an adoption for three four years. It's very difficult
to find women wanting to give a baby up for
adoption anyway. That's not even know there. But that's one
of the main reasons why the black fertility rate is dropped.

(05:09):
The other reason, and this is going less you know,
less talk even less talked about on the subject that's
almost never talked about is is the number of Black
women who are going to college. College is the number
one thing that delays birth right. If you a woman
goes to college and is going to complete a college,
especially a master's degree or a PhD, they are likely

(05:30):
not having a child well into their mid thirties, and
the number who forego ever having a baby declines substantially.
The population of Black women going to college has exploded
exponentially in the last ten fifteen years, and that has
a lot to do with why the birth rates are falling.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Twenty twenty five was.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
The first year where there was a significant gap in
the white fertility and the black fertility, with whites having
a lot more children on average per woman. This is
always measured per woman. Nothing against the men, but like
we don't count who, we don't count, it's it's per woman.
The number of babies per woman is substantially higher among

(06:12):
white women than among black women. It's all very, very fascinating.
So Whites made up fifty point seven percent of all
births in February twenty twenty six. This is this is
a big change from the last three years where whites
overall have been a minority. It's a plurality, but it's
like forty nine, forty nine point eight, forty eight percent

(06:32):
of birth back up to fifty point seven. It might
happen where whites are a majority of births again for
the first time in two years, because their fertiliary rate
is declining at the slowest level in comparison to Asians,
Hispanics and blacks. If you look at birth rates combining
January twenty twenty six and February twenty twenty six, whites

(06:53):
made up forty nine point six percent of all births.
That's up point nine percent from the year prior. Blacks
from thirteen point one to twelve point five. Native Americans
have gone from point six to two point seven. Asians
have gone from six point three to six point three.
It's a small decline's like six point three six to
six point three zero. Multiracials have gone from two point

(07:15):
sixty five to two point seven, and Latinos have gone
down from twenty seven point two percent of all children
being born to twenty six point seven. It is likely,
I'm going to guess that is going to be likely
that we're going to see the number of black children
being born in this country hitting under twelve percent. Maybe

(07:36):
next year, maybe the year after, certainly the next two
to three years the way things are going, if things continue,
and if it gets down to ten percent, I mean,
we're talking about the lowest levels in more than one
hundred years. As far as a percentage of births go. Overall,
the white fertility rate is one point five four children
per woman. That's up by zero point one one point
five to four, up from one point five to three.

(07:58):
Black fertillity rate one from one point five to one
point four to four, and Latino's went from one point
nine three to one point eighty six. They have the
highest but it's not at replacement levels. If this continues
going forward, we are seeing the number of states where
blacks make up the largest portion of minority births decreasing

(08:20):
and decreasing and decreasing. We are almost at the stage
we're probably like maybe a year or two years away
from Maryland and Arkansas having more Latino children being born
than more Black children. It's really a handful of states,
and outside of the Deep South, it's just Ohio, Michigan,
West Virginia and Minnesota, and Maine and Minnesota and Maine
and Vermont too, and Minnesota and Maine. Is really because

(08:42):
of the Somalian community. It's not because of American blacks.
It's really fascinating. Okay, let's talk about Georgia and Wisconsin.
That was the state Wisconsin. They had special elections. Well,
Wisconsin was a special election. It's just a spring election.
They had it for the state Supreme Court, where the
Republican back candidate, Maria Azar, suffered one of the worst

(09:03):
defeats for any Republican in the state's history, especially in
the last several decades, losing by more than twenty points. Meanwhile,
in Georgia's fourteenth District, this is the old Marjorie Taylor
Green district she gave up when she retired from Congress.
Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Sean Harris by twelve points.
This is a victory for Republicans, but it's a twenty

(09:24):
five point swing away from Republicans in the twenty twenty
four election, a shockingly large swinging, the largest of any
House special election we have seen.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
So what happened. Let's talk about what happened. First.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
There was a very low turnout Wisconsin was shockingly low,
I mean surprising low given how many people have been
engaged in other recent off year elections. In Wisconsin, the
liberal backed candidate won by fewer votes than the conservative
candidate lost by in twenty twenty five. Twenty twenty five,

(10:00):
the conservative Republican backhandate lost by eleven points but received
one point zero six million votes. In this election, the
Democrat won by twenty points and received nine hundred thousand votes,
one hundred and fifty thousand fewer votes in the Republican
lost by last time, So a lot of Republicans stayed home.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
We've seen this song and dance over and over. They
are not engaged and they'd stayed home the especially as
low propensey Republicans. There's no other way of saying it. However,
that doesn't tell the whole story. Portions of the Trump
Coalition aren't leaving the GOP people who were not die
hard Republicans in the twenty twenty four election, namely Latinos,

(10:42):
young people, low income voters, voters who make less than
fifty thousand dollars a year. So in Dade County, Georgia,
this is a perfect example. The Republican candate won two
thousand and seven votes to the Democratic candiate's nine hundred
and ten votes. Obviously a big win for the Republican
as far as percentages go. When you compare that with
the twenty twenty two governors raise, Brian Kemp won that

(11:05):
county nine hundred votes to eight hundred and seven. So
it's not just that Republicans aren't showing up.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Democrats are gaining more votes than they even gain in
regular elections. Why independence low income voters that they said
Latinos lose some members of the Trump coalition people would
voted for Trump was the first Republican they'd ever cast
a ballot for. They're kind of pissed, they're furious, and
they're willing to swing the other way. This is the

(11:35):
double hate voters. These are the voters who kind of
if things aren't going right, they will ditch the team
in five seconds. And we're losing that part of the
coalition us as Republicans Democratic listeners. I'm sure you're feeling
very good about this, but the Republican listeners, which is
the majority of my audience, you're probably not.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
On top of that, Democrats are voting in high numbers.
Get this.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Take this, the progressive Candida Democrat back candidate for the
state Supreme Court in Wisconsin received a higher share of
the vote in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, den Bashir Alo Sade
received in the Syrian presidential election. That's the fake election
where he is a dictator, says he wins all these votes.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
He actually performed worse.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
In Syria than the Democrat did in Madison, Wisconsin and
the majority Latino precincts in Dalton, Georgia, it's a seventy
seven percent Latino area. Harris won that area by twenty points.
The Democrat running for Congress run up by seventy three points. Now,
obviously this is a lot of it to do a turnout,

(12:39):
mensely low turnout. But those who are engaged are the
Democrats Latinos. They are hyper engaged, or republic Latinos are
either maybe swinging one way or the other or are
completely dismissive of the entire election cycle. They are angry.
These types of voters that were reporting Trump and Trump

(13:01):
won the popular vote with their support. They are mad,
especially about the economy. The economy is the number one issue.
They also don't like the warning ram. They don't like
the high gas prices, they don't like the negative pr
that's coming from the ice raids. However, it's coupled that
could be sustainable, but it's coupled with low propensity turnout

(13:21):
from Republicans and high showing high turnout from Democrats. It's
a perfect storm for Democrats this November. Parts of the
Trump coalition need to be re engaged. Something has to
change very very quickly, like immediately. And I think that's

(13:42):
really why the cease fire that President Trump did with
Iran and trying to reduce gas prices and increase in
the stock market was so prescient, because he realizes this
coalition is fracturing. He's in worse position polling wise than
he was after January sixth. Over the economy, over gas prices,
everything else is bothering some of these voters, But they've

(14:04):
taken a backseat to the economy once again. Things need
to change to prevent a democratic blood bath this November.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Okay, we're going.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
To go next to the New York City's new anti
white discriminatory policies. Mayor Mandanni's pushing. That's coming up next.
Mayor Mondanni announced a new racial equity plan for New
York City residents.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
And while today's true cost of living measure confirms that
the affordability crisis touches every corner of our city, we
know that these effects are not applied evenly. So often
it is black and brown New Yorkers who are hit
the hardest. This preliminary racial Equity Plan is the first
step in developing a whole of government approach to tackling

(14:48):
that reality. It is a plan that lays out these
first steps to solve decades of neglect and discrimination, and
it places the work of forty five city agencies within
a singular frame work.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Okay, Mayor Mandonnie goes on to say that quote the
wealth of the median white household in the city's more
than two hundred thousand dollars, while the black household is
less than twenty thousand. We are reckoning with the long
history of racism here and starting to act upon a
framework that puts equity right at the.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Center of it.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Ironically, Queen's County in New York City, one of the
five boroughs, the Burrow I am from, the Borrow Donald
Trump is from, is the only large county in America
where blacks out earn whites. They earn more money a
year than whites do per capita income. That's according to
the New York Times. Those were stories done in nineteen
ninety three and in two thousand and six, so it's
been like that for thirty years. Racism is not what

(15:41):
is playing a part in four outcomes as far as
wealth generation do for decision making is especially when you're
earning a solid middle class income every single year for decades,
and especially when you consider the city has loads of
numerous hiring quotas and welfare programs.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Let's look at the city.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Let's look at the program, the audit that was started
under Mayor Eric Adams. It's a three hundred and seventy
five page report. It makes it clear in the state
of racial disparities in New York City is rooted in
quote settler colonialism, you know, from four hundred years ago.
Noting that quote, New York City's history has been one
of colonization, exploitation, and racial oppression. Somehow they are not

(16:26):
including all the Italians and Irish who are oppressed in
some certain decades of New York City's history. The report
even states that the Native Americans are the rightful stewards
of New York City. I want to reminder writing New
York City has not had a predominant Native American population
in well over four hundred.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Years, but they are supposed to run New York City.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Can we talk for a second about the fantilization of
Native Americans by the left for a second. The left
has this idea that they deserve really to own this
country because they we're here first. And yet when you
apply that same rational, that same reasoning of people being
in locations first and it stay therefore they should not

(17:09):
be upended and rooted out and displaced by immigration, it
is not that's not okay, that's racism. It's only applied
fairly to Native Americans and sometimes to other communities like
black communities. When there's a lot of whites who move
in the gentrification, that's also bad. It's really whites that
somehow missed this special status that Native Americans absolutely get

(17:33):
it once in a while, as given to blacks as well.
It's also never applied internationally. They don't talk about why
Christians should, you know, retake Constantinople from the Muslims who
made it Istanbul. That is also a radical thought, it's
kind of but but for Native Americans it's a very
mainstream opinion. It's extremely strange. Maybe they'll make that singer

(17:55):
at the Grammys who who announced that they were on
stone Land as the head of the Time Equity Program,
the one who wouldn't give up her house after the
Native Americans asked for Billie Eilish as the Native Americans
asked for her house back, and she was like.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
No, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I love when liberals are called in their own hypocrisy
now that they care, they don't care about being hypocrites.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
But it makes me laugh. Okay, this is according to
America Mind.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
The premise of the program states this, it has numerous
calls to action, including mandating anti racism training for government
staff and a fresh look at quote fine and fee
based programs for transportation to seek out racial and ethnic disparities.
That is doing even less to enforce against subway elevators
who are predominantly black and Latino and who disproportionately commit

(18:37):
other crimes on the subway. It decries the quote punitive
policing policies that further marginalize black and Latino communities, the
very policies that drove the city's historic drop in crime
under Juliani and Bloomberg. My buddy Charlie smirkily on Twitter.
He's very, very smart and puts out a lot of data.
He crunched the data on public welfare spending in New

(18:57):
York City and guess who doesn't ben fit from it? Whites.
When it comes to the public shelter program, the New
York City spends one hundred and three million dollars every
year on white recipients. They spent eight hundred and sixty
four million dollars on Latinos and seven hundred and eighty
seven million dollars on blacks. When it comes to education,

(19:19):
twelve cents of every dollar spent on public education in
New York City is sent to a white student. When
it comes to Asians, they get forty nine cents of
every dollar. When it comes to Blacks, they get sixty
two cents of every dollar, and Latinos get a dollar
forty two for every dollar spent. When it comes to shootings,

(19:40):
suspects in New York City are one percent. One percent
of suspects of shootings are white, one point seven percent
are Asian, twenty nine percent are Latino, and sixty seven
percent are black. When it comes to public housing, eight
cents of every dollar spent is spent on a white recipient,
compared to forty one cents of every dollar spent to

(20:01):
an Asian. Three dollars and seventy six doer cents of
every dollar spent goes to a black recipient, and four
dollars and forty six cents of every dollar spent on
housing public housing goes to a Latina recipient. White New
Yorkers are tax at the highest rate per capita, They
receive the fewest benefits, they have the most standing. Not today,

(20:23):
this is today. This is not one hundred years ago.
There's not fifty years ago that it's not pre civil rights. Today,
the most amount of discrimination policies when it comes to
government contracts and government hiring goes against white New Yorkers.
It is an overwhelming discriminatory policy against one singular group,

(20:44):
and that one singular group pays the most, gets the least,
and is the most racially discriminated, and that's whites. And
Mayor Mandani's vision of this, his push of this is
married to his vision of cultural Marxism. This is what
they did in Uganda, this is what many of his
aids believe that they did successfully in South Africa, even

(21:05):
though that country has fallen apart over the last several decades.
It's a disaster, it's a failed state. But he doesn't
see it like that. See, Mandani's own father was stripped
of residency and kicked out of Uganda because he was Indian.
Part of the British Empire at one point, and they
were kicking out all whites and Indians because they did

(21:27):
not have the rightful place and they were tuishing this
left wing racial equity program. Same thing happened to Cash
Betel's father. Cash Betel's father said, Wow, this is all bogus,
This whole mark cultural Marxism, this whole racial equity program.
It destroyed the country of Ugana. It took away all
their success, all their people, who were very forward thinking
were trying to create prosperity in that very poor country.

(21:51):
And he took the lesson of we should reject that,
we should go towards the marriage.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Somehow.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Mayor Mandani's father, the victim of that same discriminatory policy,
who is a college professor, doubled down. He said it
was just done incorrectly, but we could do it better
because the real enemy is just the white man, and
we need to have this rainbow coalition that marries all
these people together. I'm sorry. This doesn't work. It doesn't

(22:18):
work on a numbers wise, it doesn't work ethically at all.
From the premise of what is right and wrong, it's
very likely unconstitutional. I hope someone susan the City of
New York. I mean, let me see how I have
lawsuit with Los Angeles GOS first, and maybe I'll suit
New York City. But it's incredibly discriminatory, it doesn't work ethically,

(22:41):
it's against the principles of merit, and it's a historical
from what's happening right now, they're getting so much welfare
benefits and it's not improving their lives one iota. I
was reading something the other day that something like one
in five New York I might be wrong on the

(23:01):
action number because I didn't dive deep and I didn't
do the research. So maybe this is off by a
percent or two. But one in five New Yorkers in
New York City works for a non profit and another
third work for the city or live off of the city.
So much of New York City is concentrated in non
wealth producing entities. Probably twenty five percenty produced all the

(23:26):
wealth of the richest.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
City in America.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
That's how important those people are to the engine that
drives that city the wealthiest and largest in this country,
wealthiest by light years compared to Houston or Los Angeles
or Doubts. Nonetheless, they are committed to discriminate against those people, further,
tax them, further, everything they can do to drive them out.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
And they'll probably do a wealth tax next.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
I'm waiting for Kathy Hope will support wealth tax, the
same thing that lost California almost a trillion dollars in wealth.
That is, that is one hundred per percent what they're
going to try to do, is what all these blue
stays are going to do.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Push out wealth Because the truth of this.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Is money and wealth and prosperity goes where it's welcomed
and stays where it's protected.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
It is not guaranteed.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
This is the concept that I think is missing so
heavily from young people today. And I call myself and
I was young, not that long ago, it was a
few decades ago. But people assume that this fabulous nation
of utter prosperity, relative safety compared to the world, especially

(24:34):
to history. I mean, it's beyond safe compared to history
is the norm, and unsafe times and poor times and
all the rest that's not normal, when in fact it
is the very opposite. If you read about like the
fall of Rome and what happened, I mean this is
a long time ago, but the fall of Rome and
what happened to what people lived on, or even the

(24:55):
fall of communism in post communist countries, how they lived
that was within my lifetime and I'm not even forty yet.
The amount of poverty is jaw dropping. What people did
to survive was draw jaw dropping. The inhumanity of socialism
is jaw dropping. It is a failed idea that's going

(25:17):
on all over Africa, all over Latin America, and Mayor
Mondani's coalition is convinced that they can bring it to
New York City but make it work. Sometime Mondanni Constance says, oh,
it's Denmark with just brown people. That that's not Denmark
is unique because it's the size of RBS. It has,

(25:37):
you know, thirty five people, twenty nine in which are white,
you know, working Denmark Natives with high social trust, huge
levels of prosperity, low levels of relative illness. It's a
unique thing that is not is not compatible with the
entire world. And ultimately Mandanni's version of cultural Marxism, of

(25:58):
this socialism is rooted in anti white racism. That is
the modern.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Day belief of the left.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
They're going to tamper that down come the twenty twenty
at election. They're going to say, no, no, no, we
really don't believe this. They really, really really do, They
really really really believe in this anti white racism. And
you could see this in Virginia where the first bills
out of the state legislature were let's prevent white people
from getting government contracts. Let's make sure that white people's

(26:27):
lives are worse off. Let's make sure we discriminate against
whites because that's what makes us feel good in our
grand scheme of things. And to all these white New Yorkers,
a lot of them are hipsters and yuppies and they
live in the communist corridor and their parents are paying
their bills.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Goluck to you.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I mean, you don't produce wealth anyway, because you're probably
working for those nonprofits. But if never mind, I thought
of a really, really off colored joke that I'm not
going to say, but that is absolutely the case. You
are a wealthy person and your kid is a you know,
shit lib communist, you should not be paying their bills.

(27:06):
You should one hundred percent not be paying their bills.
I'm just I don't think that this audience is there.
But if you are that person and your kid is
like this, you should not be paying their bills. I
have right wing family members whose kids are left wing
lunatic nut bags and they pay all their bills. And
I want to scream into the abyst. It's not going
to do anything, so I just let it go. But

(27:27):
that is the case anyway, all right. Next up is
ask me Anything. All right, now it's time for the
Ask Me Anything segment. If you want to be part
of the Ask Me Anything second, email me Ryan at
numbers gamepodcast dot com. It's Ryan at numbers gamepodcast dot com.
Got a lot of judiciary questions after my Supreme Court episode,

(27:48):
I'm doing more research. I'm going to skip a few
of them for this episode. I'll come back to it
on Monday's episode because I want to really give you
guys a deep dive on your answers. And I don't
think I'm there yet. Let's go to the answers. I
do know a little bit about one is of the
Supreme Court is from Joel He writes, what if the
Court rules narrowly that Trump doesn't have the authority to

(28:08):
change citizenship policy via executive order, but then drops a
broader constitutional bombshell. Specifically, what if they say the current
interpretation of the fourteen Amendent is wrong and that the
subject to the jurisdiction there have applies only to US
citizens and legal residents and their children, not to people
who are citizens of other countries who happen to give
birth on US soil. That would avoid giving the new
executive power while still resettling the constitutional baseline and then

(28:32):
kick the issue to Congress to sort out. I know
that would cause massive disruptions that given the Court's track record,
it's not completely out of bounds. Wait is it completely
out of bounds? Sorry about that? Or at least within
the Roman possibility? Yeah, I think that's completely possible. I mean,
I'm not a legal expert as far as what the
Court does and doesn't do, and can do and cannot do,

(28:54):
but it is not I mean a lot will rest
with Barrett, a lot will rest with Roberts and their
decision making on it. But if they if they want
to do that and say this is not you know,
this is not how the original interpretation of the fourteenth
Amendment stands, as I believe, then yeah, I mean, ultimately,

(29:17):
if they rule, it would be better if they did
not rule on the executive order, if they ruled on
the standing of the constitution, because if they rule on
the executive order, executive orders could be overturned by the
next Democratic president. It would be better if they said
the president does not have this executive order, but that
the Constitution does interpret us the correct way. That would

(29:37):
actually be the best because it would mean that another
president cannot undo it via visa the executive order, and
it would be a long standing precedent. That is what
I'm hopeful for. Actually, I think it's possible. I'm I'm
praying that roberts and and Cony Barrett make the correct
decision on this. I really, I mean, this would be

(29:59):
transformed if if this happens. I don't care if Trump
sleeps eighteen hours a day like my dog. He will
go down as one of the best presidents in history.
Undoing this is so critical and it means that it
lasts much longer than Justice presidency. Okay, next question comes
from our Shannon. He writes, I thought Eric Slowell didn't
have a California residence. Never mind the Feng Fang Fangfang

(30:23):
was the alleged Chinese spy he was having an affair with.
Did he just make up one? Also, how come we
allow stuff like this? I guess the big question is
why do we mock kangaroo court counties, but we act
like this shouldn't happen. Okay, So what our Shannon is
talking about is there is a comment by Tom Steyer,
the Democrat also running in the California governor's primary that

(30:47):
states that Eric Slaalow wrote on legal documents that Washington,
d C. Is his permanent residence. I don't think this
is going to hold water. I think this is more
of a negative attack line against slaw Well. Then it
is actually a way to get him off the ballot.
Slauwall's picking up a lot of endorsements and a lot
of union support and a lot of money. I mean,

(31:07):
Steier has all the money in the world, so what
does it matter but on that front anyway. But I
think this is his way of saying Slawwell actually doesn't
even belong in the state because he lives in d C.
And he he actually doesn't show up much to Congress either,
So I don't know what he's doing. I mean, I've
heard allegations, but when they drop, when the allegations and
slaw will drop, I'll give you guys the inside scoop

(31:27):
that I've been hearing for a long time about this guy.
Not not always a gentleman with the ladies anyway. So
if those if those allegations do drop, we'll talk about them.
But this is really a campaign ploy, then it is
a right reason to get him off the ballot because
Slowell does live in California, he has a residency there,

(31:47):
but his parents he's in DC. Most Congressmen and senators
spend more time in their DC offices and their DC
homes than they do in their district homes. It's just
it's if that were I mean, I know of senators
who live will represent the Midwest and live in Florida.
Most of the time. They have a post offs box.
So it's very common and I don't think it's going
to get.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Swallowed off the ballad. Okay.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Last question comes from junipe Pe Junipero, I don't know
if I pronounce your name correctly. If I didn't, I'm sorry.
I realized I'm not seeing a longtime listener's name incorrectly
who writes me all the time. So sorry to you too.
You know who you are, I responded to be an email. Okay, Hero,
congrats on being able to listen to modern music again.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Lent was very tough. I will not be giving up
music again, and thanks for answering my last two emails.
I was speaking out to a Wall Street bomb manager
and he noted, despite trump'successes, the future is bleak. He's
specifically sited the wealth transfer young to old, white to
other groups, men to women, post hard seller demographic transformation,
staggering debt, and the Union Party's willingness to permit some

(32:47):
form of Balkanization. With that in mind, what is your
predictions for American life in the next twenty fifty and
one hundred years?

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Okay, Juniperow, I mean, like, I'm.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
A I I tech an IQ test in high school.
It was one forty two. I'm a decently smart person.
I have no idea what life is like in twenty
fifty one hundred years. My impending death is the only
thing I know is going to happen in that timeframe.
And like I am, by nature, I try to stay optimistic.
By nature, I'm a natural pessimist. I'm I'm Italian from

(33:19):
New York. Our family just you know, that kind of
dynamic makes you a pessimist.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
There's no other way to say it.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
You know, you call if I were to call my
like like a female relative in my family, it's you know,
the conversation naturally goes over, do you remember so and so?
And I'll say no when they say, well, they're dead.
That is a natural, normal conversation that I have on
nearly a daily basis whenever I contact a woman of
a certain age within my entire Italian family. So I

(33:48):
have no idea. I'm not going to I'm not going
to pretend that I know. I think life lasts long.
Things change. If you are a pestimis, if you are
a naturally pessimistic person like I am, I think it's
important to remember no matter how bad things ever look,

(34:08):
they have been worse at other times. Think about the
Spaniards living under Muslim occupation for one hundred years, two
hundred years, whatever it was before the span the Christians
reachook Spain. Think about what the people fighting in Vienna
were like when the Turks, when the Ottomans surrounded Vienna
and were starving them to death and the Polish army

(34:30):
came and saved them. I mean, there have been so
many times in history that things have looked bleak and dark.
The Black Death, the you know, freaking COVID like, I mean,
that wasn't anything like the Black Death was. But there
have been times where things have looked bad, really really bad,
and they got better. So don't despair. Black pilling and

(34:55):
despairing is the worst thing that you could do. I
tell everybody the same thing all the time. You can
you can only do what you can with what you have.
You can't do more, so do the most you can do,
and then that's enough, and that's really that really is enough.
Live a good life, Try to be a mentor, try
to be someone a role model, to try to be

(35:16):
somebody to look up to. Try to make money, try
to have a nice family and have a nice meal,
an Italian meal. I gave you, guys my sauce recipe.
I don't know why you're not making it. Actually, people
have emailed me and said they made my sauce recipe
and they all loved it. So I appreciate you guys,
But that is really what it's about. I don't know
what fifty to one hundred years look like. No one does.
No one's got a crystal ball. Don't listen to them.

(35:39):
Just try your best and be an active member of society,
and that's all you can ask for. And no matter what,
the arc of history is very very very long, and
hopefully Jesus comes back in the end and where all
our souls are saved, and that's that. So I don't
know that's the that's the ultimate white pill. But do
your best with what you have. Anyway, thank you for

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
