  • Super informative , wonderful podcast

    Ryan knows the nations district landscape and their foibles, providing background context and statistics that I wouldn’t hear elsewhere. He is fair, funny ,self deprecating and a great cook! If he mentions a good recipe be prepared to take notes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It's a Numbers Game: UK's Two-Tier Policing Crisis? Eric Kaufmann on Reform UK, Nigel Farage & White Rage Politics
Q: So you wrote an article in The Telegraph about the white rage, what people could expect in the UK from the reaction to the body camera on Henry Nowick.
I'm terrible at pronouncing names sometimes, so I apologize ahead of time. The key point is that reaction to the Henry Nowick case has spotlighted perceived double standards in how outrage and policing are discussed, highlighting the role of media framing and political commentary in shaping public sentiment.
It's a Numbers Game: Explosive DC Gossip: New Graham Platner Allegations, Texas Senate Shake-Up & White House Secrets
Q: What do you think about the National Guard question in New Jersey?
The host muses that Trump's decision might hinge on whether local enforcement suffices amid clashes at an ICE facility, with some belief that a Guard deployment could be excessive unless violence escalates to a higher level.
It's a Numbers Game: Explosive DC Gossip: New Graham Platner Allegations, Texas Senate Shake-Up & White House Secrets
Q: Do you think Steve Hilton has a chance to win the governorship in California?
The host suggests Hilton has a plausible path to the runoff based on absentee and early voting patterns, with a real chance to make the runoff and potentially the general election, depending on how ballots count and whether the other Democrat strategy coalesces around him.
It's a Numbers Game: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Agenda Hits Reality: Crime, Rent Freeze & Broken Promises
Q: Jim asks for valid examples of dead people casting ballots or ballots registered to non-residential addresses; what is the counter-evidence?
The host argues there is no evidence of dead voters or misregistered ballots in the cited cases, emphasizes the difficulty of proving such claims, and suggests looking toward voter ID and system improvements as practical solutions.

Q: First AMA question: how many votes came in after election day in the LA mayoral race and how does that affect the outcome?
The host explains that there is no evidence of post-election-day ballots changing the outcome due to postmarks or verification requirements, though he notes debates about ballot counting and voter participation; the overall focus remains on improving the system with voter ID and ballot integrity.
