Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Grudowski. 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

0:13.8

data on births. It's the Wisconsin and Georgia elections. It's Mayor Mondami's new

0:18.1

anti-white agenda that he's pushing forward and how it fits into the modern-day Democratic Party.
