It's a Numbers Game: Trump’s Iran Dilemma: Depleted Missiles, Oil Reserves & the China Threat

Is President Trump searching for an off-ramp in the Iran war — and what happens if America continues burning through its military and energy reserves?

On this episode of It’s a Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky breaks down the growing strategic questions surrounding the Iran conflict, including the depletion of U.S. missile stockpiles, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the enormous daily cost of the war, and whether America could still respond effectively if China made a move against Taiwan.

Then, Ryan dives into an extended Ask Me Anything episode covering some of the biggest political questions facing Republicans and Democrats.

Could Republicans build a new “red wall” in Nevada, Arizona, and New Hampshire? How important are independent voters in those battleground states? Could James Talarico make Texas competitive? What does the rise of Democratic Socialists mean for the future of the Democratic Party?

Ryan also weighs in on Republican outreach to Catholic voters, the growing debate over Israel within conservative politics, Abdul El-Sayed and the DSA, Ron DeSantis’ potential path back to national relevance, how modern polling works without landlines, and what went wrong for Andy Ogles in Tennessee.
