03-03-26 Part One - Where There's Smoke There's Fire

No, I'm not. I'm so happy that I'm so happy.

You're always right. Yes, exactly. I'm so happy that I'm so happy that I'm just a couple of people. I look at the studio, the job, or the mood. Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything from all the text to social issues and news of the day, whether you're up late or you're just starting

your day. Welcome to the show from the Relief Factor Studios. This is Red Eye Radio.

All the across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning.

I look at it, all the different topics yesterday. We'll get to some of the Supreme Court stuff here in a little bit. Some of the right up, and because of everything going on in a ran, we haven't got to some of the Supreme Court stuff that they were looking at, and

“one is the law that if you want to get a handgun and you've got to go through the background”

check, and the background check, you can't have smoked marijuana. If you're smoking marijuana, you can't get it, and this is a case where somebody was smoking marijuana. Also, there were some other drugs involved, but the marijuana is the actual issue. The Supreme Court's looking at it, and just very briefly, we'll get to it a little bit later on, but it's just, there's just some humorous points to it, because what they're looking at is both sides agree, both sides agree,

debating before the Supreme Court, both sides agree that if you're on pot, you should not be shooting a gun. If you're doing a few bongs, you probably shouldn't be shooting the handgun, but the same applies to alcohol. Yes, but the law going back to 2022, a precedent that was set, and we'll get to the specific details here, a little bit later on, but I just can't help it. I just

“I've been bursting to talk about this for the last couple of days. The law states that you have to”

look at what the founding fathers thought. It doesn't have to be parallel, but basically they're

saying it has to be in the same spirit, and so part of the debate is that back then, they were all a bunch of drugs, and everybody could have a gun. Yeah, no, they partied hard. I mean, on the regular. It still boggles my mind that people carried flasks. Number one, if you're a real drinker, that flasks is probably too small, and number two, it's the fact that you just made it, you know, you make it portable, right? We go back to

we go back to law in order, or they would either celebrate or ease the pain of, celebrate, winning a case, or ease the pain of losing a case, by pulling the bourbon out of the desk at the prosecutor's office. What was the movie? Oh, it was a primal fear, right? Yes. Where they go

“back to the judges' quarters, you know, and she pours everybody a drink, and I think it was Richard”

Gears' character that says, "No, thank you." And she drinks his. The judge drinks his. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. I mean, and I'm thinking to myself, imagine, okay, now, step out of Hollywood, and imagine your local news saying, a judge during conference was doing shots, what both the prosecution and the defense attorneys. And when the defense attorney declined to do a shot, the judge drank hers or his. And I mean, if you were to do that story on

local news, it would be a huge scandal. Well, some of the audio later on, but I just, I love this, this text here. Justice Gorsuch asked what it meant to be a habitual drunkard in the old days of America. Eight shots of whiskey a day only made you an occasional drunkard to be a habitual drunkard. You need to double that. James Madison reportedly drank a pint of whiskey every day. Remember the

And I think to myself, what queen, the queen of England, when we don't have any queens?

“When what? Which queen? Queen Elizabeth. I know I did. Yeah, yeah, she drank. We talked about it”

one time on the air. She had nine drinks a day. And they counted them out. They said,

here's what she had. And this was when she was still alive. She had, you know, I don't know,

maybe a Mamosa with breakfast or whatever, then something at the midday. She had like nine drinks a day. And nobody really blinked. Now, she wasn't sitting, she didn't get up and do nine shots. And I go, hey, let's go on in the kingdom. It wasn't, you know, she was, it was throughout the day. To me, by the way, that would be worse. Because you're basically just keeping your senses dull and tough throughout the day until you go to bed. And it's, I don't know what, you know,

the, I don't know, socially acceptable level of alcohol is. But it seems like everybody with a podcast except us is drinking whiskey on there. Well, look, if it was, let's say, just for an example, it was 120 years or 130 years ago. All right. I'm not going to be drinking like these people. I'm only, I'm only going to be drinking Coca Cola. Yeah. Yeah. People that don't know,

Coca Cola used to have cocaine in it. Okay. Well, hold on a second. All right. The president has,

I don't know what, what did they say, several diacokes throughout the day. Right. There are people that, you know, they call themselves diacoke themes. You know, what about caffeine? You know, it's, it's a legal drug. In fact, that's the legal drug where, well, people, people would fight you to keep in mind during COVID. The one thing they were going to shut down is the liquor stores. Yes. In fact, they expanded liquor laws in many states. They became

necessary businesses. So if you think about the drugs that you, that you, you know, the legal drugs you take, you know, I, I don't, I don't want some beef is on caffeine either. You know, the, you know, yeah, get the gun. I, you know, you want, you want somebody to sound right now. They may be a perfect sound line. You know, but you could, you could make the case as the point on any socially acceptable drug. And really, what are we talking? We're talking alcohol, caffeine,

you know, and now we, has become socially acceptable. I guess my, my question would be that I, this happened to me about a year ago. I've got bad tendonitis in my right ankle and I eventually have to do something about it because it's getting, it's getting worse and worse and

“worse. But this goes back about a year ago. I remember I had a couple of glasses of wine. It was”

really hurting and I didn't have the wine for that. It was just somewhere and I had a couple of glasses of wine, I was at home. I want to make it clear. I was not, I was not drinking while driving. And

and it really lessen the pain. Yeah. And that has always sat in my mind, not that I'm going to

use that as a, but I don't know, because one of the, one of the things would be either I get it operated on, which, again, they look at whether that would be successful or not. But one of the things that's been, they've talked to me about is doing steroids in it. Mm-hmm. Right. I'll putting steroids in it to, to do it. But my question would be, if you go all the way back to the founding

“fathers, did they drink was drinking actually more medicinal because remember none of the medicine”

that we have today, did they have back then? None of it. Right. Right. And so was alcohol used more medicinally, especially as you got older and at aches and veins, because there was nothing else to take for it. And I'm saying that as, that's a legitimate question. If you're looking at this Supreme, this, you know, the Supreme Court looking at it yesterday. And this is all about, you know, the, the should the law be that you can't use, not while you're holding a gun. But if you are

a marijuana user, should you be denied having a gun from the federal government? Right. And it

but the federal government says, no, if you smoke pot at all, you can't have a gun. Right. And they

say that justices are, it seems are very skeptical on that law. And again, based on what they were doing in the founding fathers' time, you know, with, without alcohol. Well, if you think about it, and when that several years ago, that Queen Elizabeth story came out. And again, it's anywhere, and the reports are anywhere from four to nine per day, depending, I guess, depending on the day. And then people, they, people that were on her staff came back and said, no, no, no, no, no,

she doesn't do that every day. And then they said, in 20, I don't know, in her later years, a few years before she died, she was told by our doctors. She got to quit the alcohol all together because of your health and the whole thing. I mean, she lived to a very old age. So we got to go back and do that study on this alcohol. Good for you. We're back for you again. Right. I mean, they keep going back and forth. Why, why, why is great for your heart? Why is bad for your heart? Why

is good for you? Why is bad for you? Alcohol, moderate alcohol is good for you. Any alcohol is bad for you. And it's all over the place. But in the socially acceptable part of this discussion,

“that's what you look at and say, okay, it's not socially acceptable to be drunk and to be”

driving. Right. It's socially acceptable to have a beer with dinner, to have a glass of wine or too with dinner. And it's funny because somebody on YouTube we we saw and she cooks these recipes. She goes, I'm going to say the rest of this for when I have my wine later. I told my wife has said, the word, my is key there. My wine. That means she's probably drinking wine most days. You know, my wine, they kind of take possession of it. That's her time. That's, you know, which is fine. It's

socially acceptable. As long as you're doing it legally and not doing it, you know, to the point are you talking anybody talking about using the proper pronouns for alcohol? Well, we do, no, I'm talking about claiming the alcohol is yours. Don't anybody touch my wine? And where's my

bourbon? I've always been this way. It's always, let me drink your alcohol. Exactly. And for free.

“Yeah, but they've got a box of wine. But it's, you know, it's, it is a very, and I think you and I,”

I'm pretty sure we had this discussion years ago. Because at the point where it was not legal, then you're breaking the law. You're committing a felony. You're breaking the law. And if you're breaking the law, then gun ownership, then, you know, is going to be guided based on the law breaking. I mean, if you didn't caught with marijuana and whole thing. Now, you go into a dispensary, right? And you're, you're consuming THC. However, you consume it. And the question really is,

for the court, is should that consumption, not at the time of holding the gun or using the gun? But any level of consumption negate your right to own the gun? My answer would be, no, it should not. And this gets back to, because then you talk about, well, what about responsible gun ownership and everything? Oh, there's a number of things on that list of responsible gun ownership that that go into it, which include, you know, again, it has to include,

in this case, for the fair comparison, the people that might have, you know, a glass of wine or a beer or a couple of shots on a Friday evening, but they're not doing it while they're at the

“range. They're not doing it while they're operating their gun. They shouldn't be. And I think that's”

what it comes down to, because if you look at it and say, well, yeah, but it's going to be in their system. Well, some people wake up hung over the next day, too. You know, I go to a, they used to be annual, we're getting back to it this year, a reunion with men I've known since we were

grade school children from Del Rio. And at that, there's, it was a, we never even had to say it.

You know, there may be a beer or two with dinner, nobody really drinks heavily. I don't drink it all, but during the day, the following day, we target you, but there isn't, we're not cracking beers

case. You leave that over there if you're going to be drinking or whatever. We didn't have to say that.

“That was a given. It's, you know, it's about again, proper judgment. Well, it's, you know,”

you mentioned, you know, going to the range. I know that if I'm going to the range in the morning, I, I just, even, one, I just don't want to have one. I don't, the way, the way I view it is,

I never want, I want to be comfortable totally as I'm shooting the gun. Yes. But I'm never

comfortable ever in the process of, you know, transporting a gun, loading a gun where you point again, there will always be a part of me, no matter how long I live, that I will never be comfortable because, and, and I guess that means there's a focus to be completely and totally aware, which is outside of anything else that I do in my life. It's one of two, yes, it's one of two areas where my OCD kicks it. The other one, the other one is travel, if I'm traveling, especially

a business. I want to make sure I've got my equipment. I've got everything. But with that,

I want to make sure that I'm doing everything because I'm, here's what I look at it this way.

Every time I go to the range, I'm still learning. I want to, I want to learn something about me. I want to learn something about my weapon. I want to learn something that will, that will help me, you know, and, and, and I like the idea of learning. And I can't learn if my mind is, is foggy or something is, you know, if I'm not, even if I'm just not feeling well, you know,

“that that changes things. So, you know, I think it's a very interesting discussion at scotas.”

I'm interested to see how this case is going to come out. Well, some audio coming up a little bit

later because it's of it is humorous. Yeah. Yeah. We are at I radio. Brought to you by Hot Shot

Secret. Hi, I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller. Compliance safety accountability is the FMCSA Safety Compliance and Enforcement Program. Its goal is to hold motor carriers and drivers accountable for highway safety. CSA does this by assessing the safety performance of motor carriers and drivers. Motor carriers are assigned to score. The carrier is then grouped with other carriers who have had a similar number of safety events. Carriers scores within the group are

then ranked. Low scores are better. So carriers with the highest scores are those that are most likely to be targeted for intervention by the FMCSA. Interventions range in severity and may include warning letters, roadside, off-site or on-site inspections, civil penalties, or operation out-of-service orders. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com. , sir. We are what I radio. He's her crony non-giri Mac Amer. All right,

so a lot of people talking about that the tapes came out of Bill and Hillary, you know, from the Epstein stuff. Yeah. That isn't the thing that from Hillary that I listened to yesterday. The one that got me, I mean, I listened to it. But I mean, the one that really got to me was this one. Going back to 2008. You ready? Okay. Here we go. And I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran. 2008.

And say, think about that. It really wasn't qualified. It was like, we're going to go,

“we're going to attack Iran if I become president. Think about that. And maybe that's why Obama won.”

No, obviously. I won't put any words. And she's like, right, if I'm president, we're going to, and I forgot about, I completely forgot about that until I saw yesterday on social media. You know, Obama's like, I'm going to go on a tour and say, I'm sorry. And then she's like, I'm going to kill everybody. All she needed to have was Metallica's kill him all, you know, plane in the background and build, you know, that's popping up and down to it. That's right. And we're going to,

and she also said back then, and people don't know this. We want Greenland, and we want Canada's our 51st day. Coming up on the bottom of the hour, the challenge is in the politics of Iran.

is adding the light to contrast all that she independent Americans, daily news with army veteran,

“Paul Rikov. Pressing issues of the day, the leaders who are shaping what America will be in the”

future. We're going to bring the righteous media five lives, independence, integrity, information, inspiration, and impact.

And he is here early, and I'm Gary McNamara. Download our

red eyed radio app today, and you can listen when and where you choose. Now, we had gone through

yesterday on the show, whether going into Iran, or excuse me, I guess you could say the air salt against Iran was legal. And we went through the point and said, look, this isn't even

“close. And explained the Constitution. Just like we did last week with tariffs, but same thing here,”

what does the Constitution say? Yeah, Trump does on strong legal ground completely. And even if you believe that the war power, and we explained how the war powers act, really is a political document. Yeah, so not really, I know people say, well, it's a legislative document, therefore, it's legal. It doesn't have any constitutional basis to it. And as we quickly explain in case you didn't listen to yesterday's show, as we've talked about many times before, Congress cannot pass a

law dictating what the president's constitutional duties are as commander-in-chief. Only a constitutional amendment can do that. So what you get from Congress is a suggestion. So this whole thing, we're going to have a vote. We're going to vote. We're going to vote. We're going to have a vote. Constitutionally is absolutely meaningless. Now, we have said, marketing, anything

“and politics is so important and marketing and being absolutely crystal clear, especially in this”

day and age of social media, where there are instant reactions is absolutely imperative. You had a headset when he was talking yesterday said, again, and you've had, you know, this, this is where there isn't a point of clarity, but we know there is, where he said, no, this is not a regime change war. Of course it is. Stop it. You can't say that. Don't do that. You can't sit there and say,

it's not a regime, and this isn't a regime change war. And the first thing you do is take out the

leader of the regime. Right. Nobody's going to buy it. Don't try to sell that. Right. It doesn't mean you're wrong by saying, yeah, this is about regime change because when the president laid it out in his eight-minute speech, he talked about the fact that, you know, we are, you know, targeting the leadership and to the people of Iran staying for now, but when we're done, take over your government. Right. Now, it's not the United States in essence, as we did in a

rack, it's not that kind of regime change, but the goal is regime change. Yes. Don't try to sell that it isn't. Don't try to sit there and go, well, technically it's not because we're not doing the same thing as we're, you're not going to win that argument. Well, and they've even said that if the new leadership comes in, and they take the same path, we'll do the same thing. Right. So don't try to sell that. Don't sit there. Well, you know, look, in the verbiage in the grammar that

we're using here, stop it. When everything changes when the United States goes to war, the public starts paying attention to that. Your communication has to be, and, and Trump on that eight-minute speech was perfect. Yeah. And I know, you know, you and I talked yesterday that look, because we're older, we know the history. For example, Tim walls got Mark Mark when he said, "No, New Wars!" Like, you idiot this been going on for 47 years. Right. This actually isn't

a new war. Right. And when you look at, you know, the terrorist groups that are official enemies of the United States that have attacked the United States, we know a ran has killed over that time. Many, many, many Americans. We know that. It's a terrorism kind of war, but it's still a war.

years. We keep trying to, we keep trying year after year after year to appease. These people

who only want to kill us, you know, here's our goal. Our goal is for the people of Iran to take over the government. That's a goal we, you know, we wish to have as the opposition groups do, because you focus on the opposition groups, every single one of the major opposition groups that want to be part of the transition government are talking about a secular democracy. The president,

“by the way, needs to have a prime time address on this. And you agree. And you need to communicate”

this day in and day out. You've had six Americans now that have been killed. Americans are paying attention to what's going on. You need to market in politics, everything, and you need to market the moral justification every single day with every single surrogate, you know, why and what you are doing. The president needs to come out and talk about the opposition groups. One of the problems with Republicans, and we've talked about this many times, Democrats will go out and sell the same

lie, day in and day out for decades. Yep, they'll do it for decades. The Republicans will have the truth, and something that if the public understands it would agree in great numbers,

“and they seem not to want to sell it on a consistent basis. I'm okay. We said it once they”

must know about it. President needs to do a prime time address on this. He needs to lay it out. He needs to talk about what because I know what the goal is. There's a number of goals. The goal is regime change and have a Democrat government with one of the opposition groups come in and help the transition. It's probably what the vast majority. I don't have the polling numbers on it. Any polling you get from Iran probably is dubious, but a nation that has

been oppressed that long and the reaction from Iranians all over the world basically gives you an

opinion of what they actually want there, which is they want a form of democracy and all the major

“opposition groups. That's what they want. The ones that will be part if there's a transition”

government. So you need to talk about this is the goal. The goal is Middle East Peace, and this will bring Middle East Peace. You need to go back. The President needs to go back and talk about the Abraham Accords and how they got it started and how Saudi Arabia was interested and then maybe Egypt and he needs to talk about the fact that we can get peace in the Middle East because of this. He needs to talk about the the fact that the other reasons are as

you know, he has made clear they can never be a nuclear nation. This regime cannot be a nuclear

nation. You have these opposition groups that will be part of the transition government. Their goal is not to have a nuclear Iran and also the other goal is to get rid of the all of the ballistic missiles and Iran's ability to project any type of military might because we see what's going on right now. I mean it's incredible where you got all these Middle Eastern countries now in essence back in the President. Starmer backing off in in great Britain. Okay, you can use

it because of the ballistic missiles. France? Nobody cares. Yeah, nobody cares. No, I saw Germany. I saw Germany talking about it and even though they say, well, this is wait and see, but we believe that many of the things that you know are going on here, the ultimate result would be a very, very good thing. You got Canada aboard, you got Australia aboard, sell it to the American people, pretend that you are down 60 points on this. Yeah. Anything that you do in politics, even if you're up, you go into

it believing that you are way, way down in the point. I don't know what the pulling is. A couple of polls have shown that America is still, you know, I'm not really sure yet and something like this because we weren't there, you know, attacked yesterday, they want to know, you know, what you're going to do and you need to sell that through, you know, through repetition. Well, and, and this is,

ask, all right, what does that mean for the Iran? We've seen it in the streets. We've seen the

“people of Iran protest. Knowing some of them, knowing, I think probably all of them knowing,”

they were risking their own lives and just protesting. And that's important, but you also have to, of course it's important because when, when American see that, and they go, oh my gosh, we're liberators. Well, no, I mean, if you look at that, if you look at that, because what you're, in, in changing the hearts and minds at home, you're going to have to build the case for the people of Iran, and I suspect far too many Americans don't even know the history. And I mean, right, you know,

the common, we shouldn't be starting any new wars. Oh my gosh, not a new war. And, and those,

you know, those are the elements that play for you. If you're not going to full on say, it's a regime change, then focus on the fact that you're looking to free the people of Iran, but you're not going to occupy Iran. We're not going, this is not going to be Iraq. This is not going to be like any other recent wars. This is going to be a, what we hope will be a relatively smooth transition, but it won't be easy getting there. You have to line it out.

You have to be real in those moments. But you're going to have to plain English this thing so that people have an understanding, at least that leads, and I think a basic understanding of what's going on right now, and maybe that will lead to curiosity for some of those people in looking up the

“history of Iran and why this is so important. You have to do that because you need to send the”

message that this is not an occupation, which it is. And of course, it's not, but you need to sell that every day because, sorry, still a significant portion of Americans don't even know, understand the Constitution. Right. So you need to explain how it works here. Right. You, you have to explain everything to them. And then you have to tell Americans, I started seeing it yesterday, from all over the world, he's not paying attention to Americans. Prices are still high here,

and he's all over the East and Venezuela is over here. He's doing this. He's doing that. And

you, I'm never forget how you always focused after Hillary's loss about that story in Harlem.

Yeah. When they went, was it the Wall Street Journal? Wall Street Journal. Went to Harlem and said, you know, it said, why do you think Trump won? He goes, because she's talking about everything that's outside of this country. You know, Trump won because he, as, remember, I said this back in September, or October of of 2015. I said, people are so passionate about him because putting America first, putting Americans first, he's saying, I love you first. Well, Andy, and you said it along the way,

all he's doing is pointing out the problems. He's pointing to the problems that we have here, and nobody else seems to be doing that. And, and that's where he was gaining steam in a big way.

“You have to talk about the long-term benefits that this makes us a safer world. This protects”

Americans. And they've said that. Yes. But you need to go into more, you know, and people sell interest. Right. Yeah. Here's why. Because that's in our self interest at that particular point. Right. It's helping us because of of of this. I've seen we talked about this for weeks that if they do go in, part of this is to also everything the president has done is to weaken the influence when you look at Venezuela, when you look at Cuba, when you look at what's going on, you know, right now is to

weaken the influence of China and Russia. Because, and you said that last night, I think it bears repeating here because I saw more analysis on, look at all the oil that Venezuela sent to China, Iran sent to China. That was a big deal because China based on their population just doesn't have enough oil production. They rely on other nations like Venezuela. Now, Venezuela, oil is coming here. At least some of it is coming here. Imagine Iranian oil. I mean, it's Brent crude. And so the processing

would be different. But imagine opening up that market to American interest even if it wasn't coming directly here. But you're cutting off China. Well, even if it doesn't matter whether it comes here, what matters is it's part of the pot of the world. And if you're isolating China in that

Well, if it's part of the entire world in the entire supply, that helps lower the cost

“and China gets left in the United States too. Yeah. Yeah. We are Red Eye Radio.”

We are Red Eye Radio. He's our Colony and I'm Gary McNamara. And after Higgs had said yesterday, Eric, that, you know, they're not really now boots on the ground. President has to have a prime time address on this. Yeah. And they need to communicate

precisely what they're going to do. Look, part of the problem is the conclusion of it is out of

their control because the big challenge is not that we can, well, it was a big challenge. How what we did. But even a bigger challenge will be getting a transition government in there and ensuring that there's security for that transition government. Right.

“Is United States going to be part of that? We almost have to be. How do you do that?”

“CBS News editor and chief Barry Weiss is fuming over a viral video we played at yesterday”

that appears to show a CBS Austin reporter being instructed to downplay coverage

of a pro is really U.S. protest then occurring behind him. Weiss saw the footage and once a network wide crackdown as a result, a world-play source told the Daily Mail. CBS affiliates will not be exempt from the effort the insider said Monday. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the clip in question shows CBS Austin's Vinny Marterano covering a procession outside the Texas Capitol building and comes from a Facebook

live stream posted by the station on Saturday. He was set to speak on a procession gathering to celebrate the U.S. and Israeli strikes on a ran when a crew member passed him the phone. What does that mean? Metorama says after several seconds of scrutinizing a message over the vice's screen, it means they don't want us to focus on this. One of his crewmates explained a command he does not heed. The moment was quickly clipped and

reshared earning Weiss's attention in the process the source said from what I hear Barry is going to take an even more hands-on approach to be sure that the CBS brand is not tarnished by its affiliates. Oh, that's it. Wow. That is a an extremely ambitious goal. Yes. We thought the office at 60 minutes was a big deal. Holy cow. But she's but she's right. No, she is right. She's absolutely right that if you're going to

if the idea by management, by ownership is that you're going to essentially rebrand the news division that has to run throughout. And there has to be a certain protocol. And Barry, what I can tell you right now, Barry Weiss is not against showing the Americans protesting what's going on and the Iranian Americans celebrating what's going on. Because if you're in news, that's very simple. It's very simple what you do.

Okay, this has happened. It's breaking news. We want a reporter over here covering the the anti and one over here covering the pro. That's simple. Yeah. And you report on both.

we don't want you to focus on the celebration shows again the political activism.

“If that is fully accurate and nobody has come out and over what 24 hours and said it was not,”

we played the audio in the audio seem to be totally legit. And nobody is saying it did happen. And so you can look at it. What do you mean you don't want to focus on it? And when he just said, and we'd play it, but the audio is so you can hear it, but it's very, very low. We played it yesterday. Yeah. Right. So you could hear it. Yeah. But yeah, that's

from what I hear Barry's going to take it even more hands on approach to be sure that the CBS

brand is internished by the affiliates. This is a bad look. And it reinforces everything that she wants to avoid. So there will be more directives going out to affiliates. I love this year who wrote this. This is the Daily Mail UK. You can know there's been conservatives frantically.

“Yeah. Now, we played it. Did we frantically play it? Or did we just play it in the course of our show?”

Were we frantic about it? I didn't feel very frantic. Well, a lot of the stuff that the left does will laugh that will mock it in a times when we get passionate about it. But we're not surprised by any of this like it's the first time. We weren't surprised by that video at all. We are the ones. I mean, was it Sean Spicer that you told? Or was it? Yeah. I was talking to Sean Spicer. Yeah. And I just goes back several years. And I said, well, these activists that are there in the

press briefing room at the White House. And after I phrased it that way, he said, wow, I've never heard

it phrase that way. And I was kind of surprised. I thought, well, and they started using that term activism. You know, they were activists. Yeah. And they had not been. And it's very clear that their activists, no one can really deny that. Because, and that's the thing, too, Buzzfeed, the now defunct Buzzfeed for you younger kids, Google what Buzzfeed was. But the editor, remember, at the time. And this was over the dossier and they published the dossier.

And from that Jim Acosta started asking questions over at CNN about the dossier. This is all part of the whole Russian hoax thing. But when the Buzzfeed decided, they were going to publish it. They actually had, I wouldn't call it a disclaimer, but they posted. They said, we can't verify a lot of this. But we're going to post it anyway. And, and the editor at Buzzfeed at that time said, this is how we see our journalists. And today's day, day and age. And that's it. They're activists.

“You know, you have to be forced something. You have to be trying to accomplish something. It's not”

about reporting. It's not about true journalism, which is, I believe, an important part of any free society. I know Barry Weiss believes the same. And, but I gosh, now she's taken on, I mean, but she has to do it. How do you not see the whole thing through, right? Because if they hired her for a reason to do something, to accomplish something at CBS News, then she needs to accomplish it fully. And, you know, we go back to the Twitter files. And really how it changed the game,

Elon Musk buying Twitter, changed the game, not just about free speech in the room, which is now acts of the social media. But it also changed the game only to a slight degree. In journalism, and we're seeing more of that change come about. It's very, very slow. Where you start weeding out the activists. They're not going to be gone. I don't know how to find enough journalists to do the job. But you certainly can have a standard.

As the head of CBS News, Barry Weiss, in fact, I think should it's her job. It's why she was hired.

you don't ignore one part of it and just focus on the other. To serve your own interest,

you're going to have to focus on both sides of that story. I remember, and think about this this goes back a number of years. And it was, because we've been saying this, I don't even know, well over a decade. And when I think about that, I go, well, that's only 2016. So maybe we've been talking

“about it a lot more. The years are just moving by too quickly. But I remember that when the”

Mueller report came out, and there were all these editorials from major conservative outlets saying, maybe now the media will understand that they need to report the truth. And their sources need to be better. And you and I were laughing, saying, stop it. Yeah. Yeah. Stop it, because you look like you're a bunch of idiots. Yeah. You know, it was like when, you know, it was like to, to me, a recent example was, uh, my cuckoo be interviewing Tucker Carlson. Well, I thought it was going to

be a, a conversation on, well, if you really thought it was going to be a conversation of substance, then you need to resign as ambassador to Israel. Yeah. Have you not see that? Right. If you truly

“believe that, you know, I don't think he does. I think he was just saying it. But if you truly believe”

that, get out. Yeah. Because you weren't going to have any conversation of substance. And we said it back then conservative media outlets, stop at, stop telling the press to do a job that they have the mainstream media to do a job that isn't in their job description. They're not journalists. They don't wish to be journalists. You're making it sound like, well, they're just journalists to, you know, don't have journalism straight. No, they have no interest in journalism. They're

political activists. They want to send a message out. And unless they really get burned, where it could affect their bottom line, and many times they don't care if it affects their

“bottom line, they'll go bankrupt doing it. Right. Then they may pretend that they're journalists,”

but they're not journalists. The job description of so many in the mainstream media over the last 30 years has had nothing to do with journalism. It's outright political activism. And that's why they felt no shame. If they get stories wrong, there's no shame. Right. None. Right. No shame. Right. They don't sit there and go, oh, God, we got it wrong. Oh, no. They sit the move to the next slide. Right. No, you're right because that standard getting it wrong in the news. You know,

and it's, it's the age-old, the joke, really, that yeah, they printed the correction at the bottom of the comics page. Nine days later. You know, and it's, it shows you where they are. That, first of all, many of them believe that they're rock stars, especially on TV news. They think, you know, I'm going to be the next multi-million dollar host of a morning show, a national morning show. And, and they treat themselves as celebrities.

A part of that is because, along the way, the audience kind of built them up as celebrities.

You know, the view knows there's not one person on the view. That is the critical

thinker. Oh, they don't have to be. They just blah, blah, blah, and let stuff fall out. To the point that they've got lawyers on the set that have to guide them every single day and make sure they don't say something stupid. Again, journalism is one of these things. It reminds me of the movie, the postman. It's like, you know, it's, if you don't go back to the very basics, the very foundation of journalism, of real reporting. Because again, in a free society,

it has a very critical place. True journalism does. Always has. But if it's not that. And now,

here's the other thing too. You can see it. You know an activist when you see it. People know that.

rank and file viewers want the activism. But it's funny when things aren't going their way.

The audience tends to disappear on the left. Well, the fact of the matter is, it's good work or it's not. It's, it's thorough work or it's not. It may not be perfect, but it cannot be activism. And I don't know how you change that because this is a result of

“indoctrination for decades, for generations. And that's what that indoctrination continued.”

And these newsrooms for these young reporters who thought they were going to change the world, and very few of them are true journalists. They just don't exist. We are right. I radio. This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by House Products, tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. Getting the flower or plant garden ready for spring, perhaps to assist, consider looking back to last year. Sit the Adomangini of Kansas State

University explains. If last fall or last summer, your plants were struggling. If you were seeing spots on the stems or the leaves or scented growth, if something that's just irregular, something you weren't expecting to see, there's a reason for that. While she acknowledges a myriad of factors could be behind that. But in a sunlight, the planting location may not have been ideal. Discullored leaves from last year's plants could be at indication of

nutrient deficiencies or even toxicities. Domangini recommends testing your soil for potential issues as for possible pest or disease threats. And in the soil looking for egg cases, things like that in the soil on the underside of the leaves. I'm Rod Bay in reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senox Fules and Loops.

Get in touch with what I radio, toll-free, at 866, Mindy Red Eye.

“We are when I radio and he's here, calling, I'm hearing that, Tamara. Now remember,”

yesterday's show, we played the audio cut from Senator, I got mind-blank here, Kelly, in Arizona, and just one after. When he talked about the fact that we had this Iran deal, and he got rid of the Iran deal. And we said, everybody universally knew that, on both sides, that it was a horrible deal. Yeah, it was a horrible deal, which actually made it so Iran could get, until you're weapon. Let's go back to how the liberal media covered this,

back in 2015, just to show you how out of touch he is completely, here we go. The point at which they started with is not where they ended. Sections lifted, inspections, the U.S. wanted any time anywhere, they didn't get those. The administration set standards like inspections any time anywhere, and what we know about this deal says that that's not going to happen. That is really the core thing. If you don't have

any time anywhere, what do you really have? If you don't have access anywhere anytime in Iran, then enforcement becomes something really that's impossible to do. We were told that this is any time anywhere when you really read the language, as I understand it, it's not any time anywhere. Well, Iran is, I'm questionably the big winner. Look at the, look at where the fireworks are going on. Billions and billions will flood into Iran,

legitimizing them and making them a bigger terror tool. It's amazing to me that we

included the arms embargo and the missile technology question as part of this deal. Even Ash Carter, the president's defense secretary, has said that he has huge concerns allowing arms embargoes to be lifted. The prospect of weapons going in is not a happy prospect. Iran would be able to keep all these major nuclear facilities. Even get to keep centrifuges inside that facility. If you said that two years ago or even a year ago, you would say,

wait a second. And even some administration officials and supporters would say, wait a second, we're not going to go that far. What is your sense that this agreement could set off a new and really volatile mid-East arms race? It is very possible.

“In one sense, you have to look at this as a gamble. I'm disappointed in this deal for all the”

reasons that have been brought up and then they'll have a few billion, at least left over to kill

Americans as really in work of their mischief. I was skeptical going in. There's nothing that I read

will acquire a nuclear weapon. I don't think that we can say with any confidence whether Iran,

Will or Will not get a nuclear weapon. Now, the reason I mean the rap music in the background,

“we could go without, but the, but it's the only thing I could find on it. But everyone of those”

were Democrats and all of that was on liberal networks, including MSNBC and CNN. Everybody knew, and that's why Mark Kelly yesterday, and we just attacked him and said, Arizona, you elected an idiot. You really elected an idiot. Boy did he ever con you as a moderate. Yeah, coming out going, "We had your grand deal and Trump got rid of the Iran deal because

Democrats knew it was a deal that would allow them to get a nuclear weapon."

You're listening to Red Eye Radio from the Red Leaf Backter Studio. And we are Red Eye Radio. He's her crony and I'm Gary McNamara. Now, we played all those

“that all that audio from Democrats looking at the Iran deal back during the Obama administration”

that were all Democrats. And all liberal media hosts saying, "No, this is, this is garbage. This is ridiculous." This allows Iran to get a nuclear weapon and then boom, Obama said, "Let's send them a ton of cash." Yeah, and it was the same thing during the Biden administration when they again got rid of the mandates and allowed Iran to get billions upon billions of dollars that then they could give to their terrorist proxies. And so I want to play what Mark Kelly said,

Senator Mark Kelly, that we played on the show yesterday, just so you can compare what he is saying, to what the last audio was. We have long memories here in the show. We don't live in the bubble of today. The internet exists, but here's Mark Kelly. Hey, folks, this morning, the United States, all this administration launched a major attack on Iran. As I see this, hey, there's no real plan here. And often, these things do not go the way people think they do, especially the people

that don't serve in the military, you know, like this president. You know, often there, the one said, "Think every solution is to drop a bomb." And by the way, this is the guy that got sort of

got us into this mass anyway. He, in his first term, he ripped up the Iran nuclear deal,

“which then put the Iranians on a path to further enrich Iranium. Is he not lying or what?”

That's a straight out lie. To straight out lie from Mark Kelly. What a tool this guy is. You know, he's really the last couple of months, too. He, he was quiet for a long time. Remember, he just wouldn't say anything. Yeah. And then he did the interview a couple of months ago where he came out and they'd been interviewed by this woman. Do you see any need for billionaires? I don't think we need billionaires. Yeah. I agree with you. We don't need billionaires. And then

him and the scowl from the state of the union address, which again, by the way, Republicans, why did you stop using those ads? Why aren't they all over the place? Again, what we've said about Republicans, they have a slam dunk. They run an ad for a day. And then they say, "Okay, that's it. The people understand." Democrats will promote a lie over and over again. Russia collusion. For years, they promoted something that was an absolute lie. Yep.

For some reason, Republicans, who are supposed to be more the capitalist, haven't yet understood marketing. You got to market the product in capitalism over and over and over again. But what a tool this guy is seriously because think about this. This is just Eric. This is exactly like the border. Well, the Biden administration could have done a better job in the border. I mean, done a better job. Their job was to open the border. Yeah. It wasn't that they couldn't

control the border. No, the policy was we're going to open the border. We want to cause chaos in the United States and the Obama administration and Obama wanted to create a deal that would allow officially as part of a deal, a ran to be able to enrich plutonium in order to get a nuclear weapon.

official type of treaty in any way because they knew they wouldn't get the votes because Democrats

“didn't want to sign onto this because Obama wanted there's no other way that you can look at it.”

There's no other way. Obama wanted a ran to get the bomb. And then Trump said, nope, rip up the deal. Mandates go back on. We're not going to send them cash. We're not going to enrich. We're not going to enrich them for enriching. And then Biden came in and said, let's get rid of the mandates and let's make sure they can sell and get the profits of all their oil

money. And we'll make sure one. Right. Yeah. And we'll make sure that they that they use it in a

responsible way. What a bunch of idiots. Right. It's and remember the polls when Trump during his first term they did the poll should the president alone do the arandial. And the majority of people said, no, right. Should it be up the Congress? Yes. Should Trump do an arandial? No, no, no,

“you know, it's it's and and should, you know, or should Trump turn it over, that's what it was.”

Should Trump turn it over to Congress to do? Well, no, basically you mentioned his name and they go against the grain. But everybody knows if you ask the simple question, is this a job for Congress?

And there's a reason, again, as you pointed out, they never got to a vote. They weren't about

to bring this to a vote. It's why it went down in Obama's hands. And by the way, he was perfectly fine with that. It proves that astronauts can be idiots. Yeah. Because there's no other way. I mean, I don't like to name call. But it's justified if you sit there and you come out as Senator Kelly did and say, Trump ripped up the arand nuclear deal when everybody knows it was a piece of manure. Yes, it would it would have been a deal to ensure that a ran could enrich and create a nuclear weapon.

Remember, remember, remember the the what people were saying in the wake of the deal that Obama did? Well, it's probably not going to work. It's probably not a good thing. But at least they did something. Exactly. It's like, don't do something. Well, no, doing something negative that potentially harms the US while there's screaming death to America. That's a flat out no. Yeah. So whether it's border or whether it's a ran. Just, I mean, I don't I don't know where again. I don't know

“is Mark Kelly stupid. Does he know he's being stupid? Does he know?”

Did he pay attention when this was going on? What the Democrats were saying about the arand nuclear deal or is he just he knows what's going on? He knows he's lying, but he believes as so many Democrats do that Democrats are idiots and will buy anything that he sells them. I'll tell you this. He came off as a lot smarter when he wasn't saying a thing. Yeah. This could have been one of those moments because what he said about it is absolutely ridiculous.

But again, it's a radical left. And yes, he's part of the radical left. Posing something as the truth when it's the opposite. It is the deal with the ran. And then after that, Biden's behavior and letting them back in the oil game lifting sanctions from day one that allowed them to get to where they got and allowed the funding of Hamas Hezbollah other proxies and certainly allowed Hamas to be well funded leading up to October 7.

You know, this is and it's a lot like a illegal immigration where they will point out that the well, we're just we're concerned about the people that have been here long term and have been paying taxes and having committed crimes. Yeah, but you're also the ones. So you then then you believe then that anybody who has a deportation order or has committed a criminal act should be deported.

but sanctuary cities remember sanctuary cities is not to protect illegal immigrants that

have paid taxes and been here for decades and having committed any crimes sanctuary cities that all Democrats endorse is about protecting illegal immigrant criminals. They wish to protect illegal immigrant criminals. And then when it came to the border, well, he didn't do a good job on the border. He did a great, a Biden did a great job on the border. His job was to allow everybody in he fulfilled a campaign promise. Right. He fulfilled his campaign promise. His job was not,

well, he failed in his job to secure the border. No, because his job was to unsacurate the border.

“That was his goal. Yeah. That's why we laugh when he said Kamala Harris is going to be the”

borders are. And she's looking probably, and she was justified. What do you mean?

See, why me to close the border? Right. So he opens it and then says, she's going to be the borders aren't as we said, boy, he threw her under the bus big time. Oh, yeah. And now Mark Kelly. Well, Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Does he, is he ignorant? Does he not know what was in the deal? Did he not do his homework? Is he lying? There's no way that if you look at that Iran nuclear deal that Obama put together

that you could say that this will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon in exchange for cash. Is there? No. And, you know, that's again, it's hard to know that he's just playing stupid or

“he's lying. I honestly can't tell you. People of Arizona, what do you think? Do you think he's”

is he playing stupid? Is he stupid? Is he ignorant? Because it's got to be one of them. He's either lying stupid or doesn't understand as an astronaut, what was in that deal.

It shows you that astronauts aren't necessarily critical thinkers. Yeah.

That is an astronaut. He's got to be a critical thinker. I don't think so. Well, he's certainly not a critical thinker. Whether he's stupid or lie. Because if you're a critical thinker you would formulate your lies better. Yeah. So. Okay. You're right. He's not a critical thinker because you can drive a truck through the tunnel of lies. It's so easy. Yeah. And why, why jump in in the heat of the moment?

You know, this is like Mamdanne did. They feel compelled. Yeah. Well, he ended up sounding stupid. Because you say things that are flat out wrong. You know, I was thinking about this. I didn't mention that we were talking about the fact that Trump needs to do a, you know, addressing they need to continue marketing. You know, all their goals and what they are. Because remember New York City ground zero. They elected a guy who's as radical as you can get. Yeah.

Who believes United States is involved for all of this. So when you, when you saw, for example, the Babylon be headline that Mandoning orders flags at half-staff at the World Trade Center. You know, because of the, the, because we got the Ayatola, you could look at that and say, that's not parody. I know. Yeah. And might have crossed his mind to do something like that. Right. When the people of New York, when, when probably had a meeting over it, you know,

“it's like seven people said, never forget 9/11. Who is the first to forget New York City? Yeah.”

This is what you're dealing with, which is why we've said, Trump needs to market this his surrogates every single day and also have a prime time address on this. Yep. We're going to have to be consistent and look at this thing. This campaign is only going to be weeks long and I don't think he put a clock on, but he, he said, probably several weeks, but as long as it takes. Now, so there's your asterisk, but he's going to have to be consistent

throughout the effort saying, this is what we've accomplished and this is our goal. We are right, I radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Hartley, it's right, I radio.

Where, when I radio, he is there, currently and I'm Gary McNamara. Wow.

“I mean, just some of the arguments so stupid. But, you know, when you, when you look at,”

what do they say? The vote's supposed to be this Thursday or something like this for the,

the Congress to vote on the war powers resolution. Yeah. But even that, did that sort of

die down yesterday, didn't it? Did you think it died down yesterday? Well, I thought it died downing.

“Yeah, it did. I guess on social media. Right. Yeah. I look, because this is such an open”

ended situation and you don't know where it's going and you don't know how long it's going to take.

You know, the president said it will do this as long as it takes. Well, you know, he's clearly, at least in my mind, my perception of that is he's talking about the attack and taking out,

“you know, those key elements that make them dangerous as a nation. But in terms of the”

transition to another government. As you mentioned earlier, look, there's things that the U.S. is going to have to kind of be a part of at least be witness to. It's the thing is going to go in our favor. Or get the world to participate in it. Yes, but she might do. He's keeping force, whatever. They see his red eye radio on Westwood one. Make this on himless before we are on the mountain. No, not Taylor. It's not Taylor.
