    It's a Numbers Game: The Truth About Graham Platner: Communist Past, Nazi Tattoo Controversy & Maine Senate Race

    03/11/2026 | 27 mins.
    On this episode of A Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky takes a deep dive into one of the most controversial candidates in the 2026 election cycle: Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner.
    Platner has built his campaign around a working-class image as a veteran and oyster farmer, but Ryan examines whether that narrative holds up under scrutiny. From elite boarding school roots and wealthy family connections to past statements about communism, policing, and rural voters, this episode explores the gap between Platner’s campaign messaging and his past public comments.
    Ryan also breaks down the Nazi tattoo controversy, Platner’s online history—including posts on Reddit—and his connections to controversial media figures and political movements. The episode analyzes how Platner’s positions on defunding police, immigration enforcement, socialism, and foreign policy toward China could shape the Maine Senate race against Governor Janet Mills in the Democratic primary and Senator Susan Collins in the general election.

    The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Oil Price Shock: Former Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette on Iran War, Global Oil Markets, and America’s Energy Future

    03/10/2026 | 20 mins.
    How is the war with Iran impacting global oil prices—and could the Strait of Hormuz trigger the next energy crisis? In this episode, Lisa sits down with former U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette to break down the extreme volatility in the oil markets, the risks facing global shipping, and how energy traders are trying to price uncertainty during a geopolitical conflict.
    Brouillette explains why oil prices surged from the mid-$70s to $120 in just hours, how the Trump administration’s proposed $20 billion tanker insurance backstop could stabilize shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, and why the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at a dangerously low level. He also reflects on how deregulation during the Trump administration helped make the United States a net energy exporter and what that means for energy security today.
    The conversation also explores the global implications of bringing Venezuelan oil back into the market, China’s reliance on discounted energy, and how geopolitical shifts could reshape the world’s energy supply. Plus, Brouillette discusses the massive power demand coming from AI and data centers, why nuclear energy may be the key to meeting future electricity needs, and how cybersecurity and quantum computing could transform energy infrastructure.
    Topics covered include:
    Why oil prices are swinging wildly during the Iran conflict

    The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz

    Trump’s tanker insurance plan and global shipping risks

    The state of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve

    Energy independence and deregulation under the Trump administration

    Venezuelan oil and China’s discounted energy supply

    The massive energy demand from AI and data centers

    Why nuclear power could be critical for America’s energy future

    A must-listen for anyone following energy markets, geopolitics, oil prices, and the future of global energy security.

    Verdict with Ted Cruz: Big Victories in Iran, More Risks of Terrorism at Home and Tucker & Dems Both Attack Trump

    03/10/2026 | 38 mins.
    America at a Crossroads: How Operation Epic Fury, Rising Terror Threats, Democratic Obstruction, and Media Propaganda Define This Moment As the world watches Operation Epic Fury reshape the balance of power in the Middle East, Americans at home face rising terror threats, political gamesmanship in Washington, and a media environment increasingly aligned with anti‑American narratives. The latest episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz captures this moment with striking clarity, weaving together the military, political, and cultural battles that define America’s fight for security both abroad and at home. What emerges is a sobering but empowering picture: America is winning where it shows strength — and suffering where weakness is politically engineered.
    Operation Epic Fury: Crushing Iran’s War Machine and Reasserting American Dominance Senator Ted Cruz opens the episode with the hard numbers that tell the story: Iran’s offensive capabilities are collapsing under sustained, strategic U.S. pressure. In just eight days:
    Ballistic missile launches fell from 350 to just 15 per day
    Drone swarms dropped from peak 541 to only 12
    Iran’s air defenses have been neutralized
    Mobile missile launchers are destroyed in real time
    The Iranian Navy has been crippled
    The U.S. has achieved total air superiority and full maritime dominance in the Persian Gulf. This is not a symbolic show of force — it is the systematic dismantling of a regime that has funded terrorism for nearly half a century. President Trump’s strategy is working because it is disciplined:
    Use precision weapons early to blind and cripple Iranian defenses
    Transition to gravity bombs once dominance is secured
    Cut off Iran’s financial lifelines
    Demand unconditional surrender
    The result: Iran’s ability to wage war or fund terrorism is fading fast. And beyond Iran itself, Operation Epic Fury delivers a powerful check on China by securing energy chokepoints critical to Beijing’s economy — a geopolitical masterstroke the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge.
    Rising Terror Threats at Home: The Real Consequences of Open Borders While U.S. forces dismantle Iran’s capabilities abroad, Americans face growing threats at home from extremist actors emboldened by years of open‑border policies under the Biden administration. The episode cites two recent and chilling examples:
    A dangerous IED attack in New York City
    An Islamist‑motivated assault in Austin, where the attacker wore pro‑Iranian symbols
    Yet the media suppressed key details — especially that attackers shouted “Allahu Akbar” and displayed Iranian extremist ideology. When facts interfere with political narratives, the media buries them. Senator Cruz makes the core point clearly:
    These extremists are here because Democrats opened the border and kept it open. With Islamist leaders issuing fatwas calling for attacks on Americans, the Biden-era border collapse is not merely negligent — it is dangerous.
    Democrats’ DHS Shutdown: Political Theater with Deadly Stakes One of the most stunning sections of the episode centers on the Democratic Party’s refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Every Democrat except John Fetterman voted against DHS funding. Their target? ICE — or so they claim. The truth?
    ICE is fully funded because Republicans secured its budget last year. So who is being punished in the shutdown?
    TSA agents, now working unpaid
    FEMA workers, responsible for disaster response
    The Coast Guard, whose servicemembers can't pay rent
    Counterterror units, critical during a time of heightened risk
    This isn’t resistance — it’s recklessness. Democrats know their base hates ICE, wants open borders, and demands symbolic activism. So they chose to defund the very agencies that protect Americans while pretending to “fight” ICE. Senator Cruz calls it what it is:
    A radical political game endangering Americans during a terror surge.
    Exposing the Obama–Murphy Nuclear Deal Lies One of the episode’s most powerful takedowns comes as Senator Cruz dismantles Senator Chris Murphy’s claims about the Obama-era Iran Nuclear Deal. Murphy insisted the deal “was working,” that inspections were “daily,” and that Trump “caused the crisis.” Cruz responds with facts:
    The deal allowed no inspections at key military sites like Fordow
    Iran was allowed to self-certify compliance
    Sunset clauses guaranteed Iran nuclear capability within 15 years
    Obama picked Wendy Sherman — who previously negotiated the failed North Korea deal that created a nuclear dictatorship
    The Obama deal wasn’t diplomacy — it was appeasement. Trump was right to tear it up, and Operation Epic Fury’s success proves it.
    Tucker Carlson’s Radical Turn: When Isolationism Becomes Anti‑American Propaganda In a surprising twist, the episode turns to Tucker Carlson — once considered a leading conservative voice. Carlson’s recent commentary on Iran included the shocking claim that “unconditional surrender means foreign troops will rape your wife and daughter.” Cruz doesn’t hesitate:
    The claim is false, slanderous, and historically illiterate
    It maligns American soldiers who liberate — they don’t rape
    It mirrors Iranian and Islamist propaganda word-for-word
    Most disturbingly:
    Iranian state TV broadcasts Carlson’s commentary
    The Muslim Brotherhood tweets Carlson’s clips
    Isolationists on the right increasingly echo voices like Chris Murphy and Bernie Sanders
    Cruz’s conclusion is blistering:
    Carlson has aligned himself with anti‑American, pro‑Islamist propaganda.
    A New Iranian Leader, the Same Extremism, and Why the U.S. Must Not Retreat The episode also covers breaking news: Iran’s regime has appointed the son of the previous Ayatollah as its new leader. No moderation. No reform. Just more extremist theology and nuclear ambition. As Cruz explains:
    Iran is far more dangerous than North Korea
    Deterrence is weaker against death‑cult zealotry
    The U.S. cannot permit nuclear weapons in the hands of religious extremism
    Trump’s relentless pressure is the only viable strategy
    Operation Epic Fury isn’t just about stopping missiles — it’s about preventing a nuclear catastrophe.
    Conclusion: America Wins Through Strength — and Fails Through Weakness The themes of the episode converge into one unmistakable truth:
    Where America is strong, America wins.
    Where Democrats impose weakness, the nation suffers.
    Operation Epic Fury shows the power of decisive leadership.
    The DHS shutdown reveals the dangers of radical politics.
    Rising domestic terror proves the cost of open borders.
    The Iran deal lies show the disaster of appeasement.
    Tucker Carlson’s rhetoric shows the influence of propaganda. This moment is a turning point — one that demands clarity, courage, and strength. And as the episode makes clear, only one side is offering that.
