03-18-26 Part One - Not So, Joe

Now it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything from politics

“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 across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara, good morning. Let's get right to it. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We have, we have no time for Tom Fruly. [Laughing] And Shenanigan, it's over!

Shenanigan is the 18th now. Is that, is that what he said? Was it Shenanigans and Tom Fruly? Yeah, something like that, yeah.

Shenanigans and Tom Fruly will have none of that. It's already, it's the 18th.

And in goodwill hunting, we're talking about, and the famous journalist who actually played quarterback for two different teams in preseason, I just can't think of his name at the moment. Yeah, it wasn't Shenanigans. Something else in Tom Fruly. Yeah. Bally all. Yeah, no time for Bally who and Tom Fruly.

Well, that's Shenanigans since we're close. Shenanigans, Bally who and Tom Fruly. We're closing out the same Patrick's day. Yeah, sober up. And then, it was character looks when he goes, "How hard is it for you to keep hiding the fact

that you're gay?"

Oh, Mike, I shouldn't have looked at it.

All right. Just by the use of those words is what? That's something that Hollywood couldn't put in a script these days. No, they couldn't. No, they couldn't.

No. Well, think about this.

“I'm thinking about, you know, the new eye at all, right?”

And the story that got out. And there was nothing denying it today. There was nothing denying it. And seeing anything from the state media or any representatives in Iran that they countered that.

But think about this. I brought you the CBS version of that, right? CBS is version of that. On the same day that New York Post and others were reporting that in an intel meeting the president had been told the new eye atola, the previous eye atola's son

was gay, that intel told him he was gay. And it was one of the reasons that the former eye atola didn't want him to be the successor. Well, the CBS version of that story said that his father didn't want to choose him because he wasn't smart. And he was still going back, sorry.

I'm smart. Not like everybody says. And then later in the story, also because he had personal problems. So I don't know Barry Weiss, but maybe she needs to get hold of whoever wrote that story. And if they're referring to being gay as a personal problem, they might want to take a different approach

because the radical left will take that seriously if they perceive it that way. I thought to myself, is that how they're describing it? That CBS knows. And that's where the radical is from. That's a personal problem.

Ah, did you hear the so-and-so came out? Well, sounds like a personal problem. And I thought to myself, man, that gets richer every single day. I think she's still, I think Barry Weiss is still trying to wrangle all of the radicals in her newsroom and do away with him, that's going to take years we believe.

But when you look at that entire equation, that I, and you and I were talking to the pre-show meeting, the intel that they're gathering, killing another two other top leaders back to back over the last 24 to 36 hours. Based on, in part, intel that's coming from the average citizen. Yeah, in fact, they said the average citizen for the militia, the other Soleimani,

“that they got that from, or intel from ordinary Iranians who, you know, the only way you communicate those messages,”

you would think would be on the ground directly. Yeah, would be to operatives, special forces from Israel on the ground, even though, both were missile attacks. And, and again, I don't know if cell phones are working or whether there's any type of communication in, you know, in Iran right now.

No more Bally, who, Bally, who, yeah. Who will hunting, which looks at him like, "What? No, God's world." But let's, let's first start with the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, yesterday who resigned and said, basically, it was Israel, you know, this wasn't Trump's decision in essence. This is what he's trying to communicate that it was Israel, the drag Trump in there. I even saw Chris Cuomo yesterday say, "Come on!"

They didn't drag him in. No, so stop it.

“But the, I think the most fascinating thing is because of the internet and the things that Kent has said before,”

he was completely destroyed by the end of the day. Yeah, it didn't take long at all. And he, this was one that came out interview that he did just three months ago. Here we go. There's still register for the draft, aren't they? Like, that's, that's the logical conclusion to the direction that we're heading in right now. Unless we make some serious changes.

I mean, it's already, it's, I've already heard rumors that fifth group is going to be sending nice to Iraq because of the escalated situation with Iran now. Yeah, I mean, most Americans aren't aware of it. We've, our troops in Iraq and Syria have been attacked 150 plus times by Iranian proxies. And we say that. That takes the imminent threat right away. I mean, if you're attacking, if your proxies are attacking, as we said, the United States, every time they do that, that's an act of war, that's an imminent threat. Yep. And as we said before, you know, I saw CNN do the, the, the, the poll of Republicans, it's like 90% of Republicans are saying, yeah, we're in favor of it.

“The goal is always to convince independence, but the fact is, if you've paid any type of attention at all, you understand why we are in this war with Iraq with Iran.”

Yeah, well, we're in Iran. Thank you. That was over. Thank you with, thank you with, with the, with the, with Iran. Yeah, you, you understand it. You understand what has gone on, how long it has gone on. And you understand it. You're concerned about how long it might last.

Well, because always, I look, the end game is always a concern until the end game is over in any war, right?

And I don't know, you know, what's behind Kent, you know, what's what's going on in his mind, but when you talk about imminent threat. And then you say, it's not an, it wasn't an imminent threat, and then coming up by conjuring up that the Israelis basically convinced Trump that he needed to do it, and he didn't really want to do it. We've been looking at Iran for a while and Kent knows this part of the evidence is what you just played. He's talked about it openly. And, you know, you want to step down for another reason, because you disagree with the tactic, all right, and you don't want to be a part of it. Okay, bye.

But he just absolutely got shredded for the rest of the day. I mean, the videos and the evidence coming out of what he has said in the past, based on, you know, what he said was his reason for stepping down.

You know, it just reached, here's what it reached up. It reached of a higher loyalty.

Yeah, it just seemed odd to me. It was almost like he was a mole. Yeah, same something for a significant period of time until it was time to, you know, come out, come out and do the deed. Yeah, you know, a Trump actually posted on true social, what Kent wrote, you know, back in in 2020 when Trump said, we should not sit and wait for the next attack. White Iran's ballistic capability out and get our troops out of Iraq. They're only targets now of Iran.

“He posted that, Joe Kent. And so you look at this and this is, what, you know, what it, that's why I said I told you in our pre-show meeting. I said, this is like he's a mole purposely sent in.”

Say, and I agree with you agree with you agree with you agree with you agree with you agree with you agree with you and then boom at a crucial moment.

Come on and just go, he's completely and totally wrong. And a, and a tool of the Israelis. Yeah, it was like, well, dude, you got you have a history of saying 180 degrees, the opposite, which help get you your position in the Trump administration to begin with.

I mean, he just got, it handed to him all day. You want to step down and move on because you don't believe in the, in the forward strategy or whatever it's going, whatever it is, that's one thing. Okay, bye. Yeah, but coming up with it again, it came off as James Komi part two, it came off as Peter struck, it came off as, you know, all of these who thought they were going to be heroes, I'm going to be a hero by quitting.

Yeah, because he said the opposite all along. And, and all of a sudden, in one day becomes Tucker Carlson, yeah, just like it just, yeah.

“And, and so it's just, you just, I went, wow, this isn't going to last long and he was just blasted on social media. Oh, one of the, I just got to bring this up to, I don't think I brought it up on the air, I think I brought it up.”

I don't know, maybe it wasn't even you, I talked with him, but I something I saw last week and it was, you know, it was somebody in the left. Talking about X and saying, you know, everybody talks about the social media's driving thing, social media's driving things, well, do you know that only one in, in five Americans, only one in five Americans use X daily, well, that means the vast majority don't, well, that means 60 over 60 million people use X every day.

“That is way over what any network would, any network would dream of getting it, you know, they, you know, Fox news really is the top, the top of the heap of any of the cable news channels.”

And what do they max out it, maybe four million for their top show and then all in prime time, right anywhere between, you know, right and exactly, but anywhere between, you know, 1.5 and 3 million probably is the majority of their shows that are in there.

And somebody's got, it was, and somebody finally brought up they go, yeah, but no other news media gets 60 million people doing it every single day, it's not close and it's growing.

And so I just thought it was pretty, I just thought it was pretty bad. I just, I just, I'm thin of my head right now, you know, because if they've lasted, if you could play, if you lose the debate on social media, you really in this country right now lose the debate.

“Well, politically, if you're any political figure at all and you lose the debate on social media, you're done.”

Because you'll get shredded. It wasn't that way before Elon Musk bought X. The truth could be their version of the truth could be formed basically by a consensus and then throttling people down and having their influence limited or their, you know, followers being limited or whatever it was.

And now I'll say this. The whole magazine was interesting to see because now you see so much of that fragmented, but it was always what you and I said it was from the beginning.

Maga is Donald Trump, you know, so the competition on social media to be more maga than Donald Trump himself was ridiculous. And then it turned out to be, you know, people like Tucker Carlson, MTG, people who are frankly useless. And when you see the support CNN was doing the support, it's like 90% of Republicans are, you know, are 49% are against. And it's just like, okay, you might have had that maga out there, but when you look at Iran any Republican, any conservative who's been paying attention for significant period of time, they've come to their own conclusions.

Carlson was never going to change them. No, no. You know, he was never going to change Kent was never going to change the conservative Republican or the Republican that's actually been paying attention to what's been going on with Iran, you know, all these years. You might have support him said, well, yeah, I like him. He does some good stuff on Fox news, whatever, but they never bought into that. They never bought into most, you know, you had, I think Democrats and you had independence that might have liked the isolationist message that that small part of maga at that time was promoting, but you never had the majority close to even a plurality of Republicans that bought into the fact of isolationism.

And if they thought that was the case, you would hear a lot more, that child would be overwhelming and you don't and you don't. We are right. I radio brought to you by hot shot secret. I'm Jen Lumis a transport safety expert at JJ Keller drivers must always be prepared for a roadside inspection. This means drivers should always have their personal vehicle and company credentials organized and ready. Two violations written against drivers every year are log general form and manner and log not current both are completely avoidable if the driver keeps the log accurate compliant and current at all times.

Having the vehicle ready for inspection involves the driver conducting daily inspections and making sure any problems that are discovered are immediately corrected.

Vehicle readiness also requires the company to make sure that the vehicle is current on all scheduled maintenance and that the maintenance schedule is adequate. This will make sure the driver is being given a sound vehicle to start with. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com.

“We only have the important news for you here.”

Only the important news for Red Eye Radio. This breaking news is important news. Stop what you're doing. Pearl Jam has asked their fans to call senators to vote no on the Save America Act. Pearl Jam is coming out in favor of fraud in elections. The flannel caucus has spoken. What's it you told me that it has come back to the 90s that any veteran actually like slept in his car.

When he was talking about it, when he was after their first album, they got tremendously wealthy. It took off in ways that nobody had ever seen.

“And then when they went on to their second or third album, I can't remember which one it was.”

He decided to go live in his truck.

Keep in mind, he probably had 10 million at least in the bank, at least.

So he had to pretend and he said I wanted to do it so that he could be hungry to write songs and that you're not hungry. You're not even close to being hungry. If you don't have the passion to write songs anymore because you have money in the bank, I don't know what to tell you. But that's not the way to do it. The way to do it would have been give me the $10 million, so you have zero. Now you're hungry.

Now go right here next album. Give me the $10 million. Yeah, then go to your car. Because I thought immediately he could have given all that much decided, you know, I get to stay hungry.

You know, there's this infamous story, Lady Gaga at her first major tour, she took all the money she made from it

and reinvested it into her next tour because it was going to be a showcase for all the big promoters. And her dad said she didn't keep hardly any money for herself or now it paid off for her. You know, but my thought would have been, well, Eddie, just give her your money away.

“If you need to be hungry, you can be hungry.”

“Can you be anti-meat, anti-gun, anti-oil, and win in the state of Texas?”

Details coming up in just a minute and a half. Are you one of those people whose eggs and pains seem to get worse when there's going to be a weather change? Notice that I used to be one of those people until relief factor. And when you live in North Texas, I mean, we had near freezing temps here in recent days. And we're going to be up in the mid 90s by the weekend.

And it just, it's the weather's all over the place. But back in the day, lots of eggs and pains if there was going to be a change in the weather. And sometimes it's kind of how I knew they were right on the forecast with relief factor. It's no longer the case. I don't live with that pain anymore. You shouldn't either.

There's something you can do about your pain. It's called relief factor.

“100% drug-free research-based formula with 4 NT ingredients that go to work on your body's natural inflammatory response function.”

Here's what we want you to do.

Try the relief factor three week quick start. Just 1995, visit relieffactor.com or 800, the number 4 relief relief factor.com or 800-4 relief. Use red eye at the drop down for your three week quick start at 1995. So, I mean, we're just to the middle of the week. And it's just one of those just crazy times again.

And as we all know, James Tallarico is running against either John Cornener, Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate State of Texas. And we all know that Tallarico, B. Jasmine Crocket, in the primary. This came out from 2022. All right, here we go.

All right, come up from 2022. And don't worry, he is fully masked in this, oh, good. And we're playing the audio, but we can see the video. Yeah, but he's fully masked. Here we go.

All right.

“We have, I think, heard more and more issues of animal welfare.”

I think not just because it's the right thing to do in the moral thing to do, but also it's as all of you know, necessary to fight climate change. It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption, and that we try to respect animals and all aspects of society. And so I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign.

So we have, we are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses. Some of you may know big known as, they were little known as, and then they opened up a brick and mortar, and they're big known as well. Okay, so we know where he's going here. Yeah, right.

Yeah. This appears on X, that audio cut, and then Brandon Gillil writes this. James Telereco wants to represent Texas, but his anti-meat, anti-gun, anti-oil, thinks white people are inherently racist that God is binary, and that the Bible justifies abortion. Man, I, I, I smell a landslide. Well, he's at least got 40% of the vote.

Oh, he's got in the state of Texas. He's definitely beat Jasmine Crocket. That tells you how radical he is. It's, it's, it's on. But you think about it.

Could you be any more anti-texin? If you're, no, if you're about it, anti-meat, anti-gun, anti-oil, before we even get to any of the, the, the, the, the cultural, you know, the cultural stuff. Right. The racist stuff, and, you know, that the, the Bible justify abortion stuff, which is just bizarre,

but just anti-meat, anti-gun, and anti-oil alone. Right. Well, you know, Jasmine Crocket didn't get it done.

I wondered about her first ad that I saw that I didn't see when the second wave of ads came through on digital.

I don't know if it was, place somewhere else, but it wasn't getting to me on the digital side.

And at the end, it said impeach known who ended up getting fired.

But in Texas, a border state where the border counties, many of those border counties went for Trump. I thought to myself, is that it, was that the wrong play in Texas? Well, tell Rico's, hold my beer. Look at all the radical things that I stand for, that are totally against the grain in Texas. He's got the Austin vote for sure.

Oh, it's just, I mean, just, you shake your head going, wow. And the fact is, it's all on tape, and you cannot look nothing here. You cannot say that anybody is anybody on the right is exaggerating any of the positions that he holds.

“No. No. And, you know, here's the thing, I really believe there's something to what I've said before.”

They wanted someone who could do, who could express the radical views in a serious tone. And through serious behavior, I think one of the problems with Jasmine Crockett, she didn't come off as serious about it. You know, the whole dancing in the hallway thing, you're just trying to make a TikTok video. Nobody needs to see that, nobody wants to see that, even the radical left. They want you to be serious. They want you to be angry, but they want you to, in campaign mode, you've got to at least be serious.

But you definitely have to be radical. And Tala Rico wins. And that's what you have. It goes back to what we have seen from David Hogg, remember David Hogg, he was talking about, I remember that.

It was so long ago. I mean, how many months has it been? I know. I know. But, you know, when he was one of the top guys chosen for the DNC and he was saying, look, our party is not attracting,

basically my demographic young people to the party.

And what he was saying is that there needs to be more radicals out there need to be more radicals. He's not the first one. He's not the first one, but I haven't seen anybody shape it up the way I shaped it up about Tala Rico. I do believe there is we want you to be radical and we want you to be serious about it. And that's it. That's the difference. It's not that he's coming off his normal.

We want you to be serious and white. Yes, right, apparently. They made the choice. We did that. That's their team, not ours. Exactly.

“And that's, you know, that's how it goes down.”

And the question is, because I thought to myself, okay, if you extrapolate that out and apply that to 28. And who are you looking at? And you're looking at Newsom Newsom with his bobblehead, you know, going all over the place when he's, I'm doing the bobblehead right now. Because it's just, it comes off as silly. He comes off as looking very not serious.

And by the way, we already know that he's embarrassingly handsome. You know, when he, when he does the head thing, I keep thinking a night at the rocks. Exactly. No, that's what he looks like. He can't, he can't control his body language.

And he doesn't come off as somebody with conviction. You know, because his views are radical. We know that. But, but he doesn't come off as somebody with very serious conviction. You know what the evidence is of that?

Hmm. The polling of Democrats. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's the, you want the evidence. Yeah. The Democrats look at Newsom. See how low he is as a presidential candidate. And remember, this all remember his numbers

before he debated to Santa's. Yeah. Right. His numbers were a lot higher. Right.

After he, after he, he, uh, debated Santa, you know, to Santa's. Boom.

He's never really recovered from that.

No. Nobody takes him seriously. He doesn't know where to go on the issues. He's trying to ride the fine line. But he can't do that in California.

Right. No, he can't. He really can't.

“But that's how you know, when Kamala Harris is beating you.”

And nobody takes her serious. No. Not even the Democratic Party. They view her as one of the biggest losers. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, except in, uh, what is it? Jerry, uh, McConnell. Is it a, McConnell? Yeah.

Jerry, McConnell. Jerry, McConnell, cells. Did you see, you know, did you see that he said?

with Bill Mar, and Bill Mar was like, "What's your time?" I guess why can't really tell you

“maybe exactly what I think because my wife and daughters will get mad at me because when I try”

to explain why Harris lost the election and there should have been a primary, they got physical with me, which means they hit him. Right. Yeah. And he's in Bill Mar, who knows, how could you ever live like that?

He has now said he will never be on any other podcast again except a podcast that doesn't talk

about politics because he got such a flag from his family for saying that I'm Bill Mar. Wow. Wow. I was like, "I can't see. I can't see. I can't upset. I can't tell you what I truly believe because when he's talking about, he can't even think about this. Think how bad it is. He wasn't talking about the fact that he didn't want her to win. He wanted her to win. Yeah. It's that he's simple and now it's according to what he said. I Bill Mar's podcast.

And he was by the way, he was right on those things that he said. Everybody else was saying the same thing.

Right. And you know, maybe he was saying it earlier than everybody else in his household

heard from everybody who the basic analysis was there should have been a primary. She lost because it wasn't well organized and there should have been a primary. Right. Now, she lost because more of that, but those things that he said weren't weren't in that track. The analysis from all of the left is exactly what he said. Yes. In that moment, from from the left, from the left. And remember, they did the autopsy of the election and they wouldn't, they wouldn't put out.

Yeah. Well, we won't put out the autopsy public. We can't. What does it do embarrassing?

Right. And then some of that did leak out and it was really

everything that everybody had thought to begin with. Right. But he wasn't saying he vote. He would vote for Trump. Well, saying is the Democrat strategy is wrong. And he claimed because

“he said that the women in his family, the only thing I can say is getting physical,”

tried to beat him up. Yeah. That's abuse. That's, you know, this is that's think about that. He wanted her to win. Right. He's disappointed and demonstrating his disappointment. But not in a way that was really, according to his own description, degrading to Kamala Harris, it was about the process and how it should have been handled. Can't even do that. Can't even do that. Yeah. Man. And now he said publicly, I will, I cannot go on.

I will not go on any other podcast. I'm not going to publicly speak about anything about politics because my wife and daughters will try to beat me up again.

“Because that's what physical means, right? I'm trying to think, I think my wife would, if I tried to”

refrain from saying what I believe. I think that's when she's strike me in the shoulder. I mean, you know, it's because, I mean, my wife is very pragmatic. She gets straight to the point. When she speaks, you know what her convictions are. And, of course, she's not abusive. Like some celebrities, families are. And, you know, but you, in, in our house, you're expected to speak your mind and be honest about it. Yeah. But stand on your convictions. Well,

Jerry now realizes that his wife, he can't do that. Are the permission structure in his own? They are. Well, it needs to go hang out with him. Governor Tim. We are ready, Joe. Get in touch with what I radio told free at 866. My dear, I. Here when I radio, he's our crony, I'm Gary McNamara. You just had an update on something, wasn't I? Yeah, I just from the Associated Press. We were talking about Iran and what happened there.

Again, two of their top leaders being killed by Israel. But this is from the Associated Press posted just a little while ago that Iran lashed out following the killing of one of its top leaders in an

to evade air defenses and killing two near Tel Aviv. They also said in the story that

“there was, let me go back here to the expage. Iran's judiciary says a man has been executed”

for allegedly spying for Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. That's on their the APX page. They posted that a little while ago a few minutes ago. And the reason we bring that up is that we we had talked a little while ago about the Wall Street Journal. There's not the editorial page. The news division is more liberal, right, saying that ordinary Iranians actually gave the tip to kill one of the militia leader. Yeah, don't know if it's related. Don't know, but

it's just the news agency did identify the man and allegedly said that he provided images and

information on sensitive locations to Israel.

“Out to the our news is brought to you by How Products Visit How Products.com. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood 1.”

Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara and Eric Hurley talk about everything from politics 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 across America. We are Red Eye Radio. He is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning. Thanks so much for being here. Thank you. Just so everybody knows when we told you that story.

That Iran claims that they have executed somebody for giving aid to the Israelis. And this is

after the report. We've, I first saw the report Wall Street Journal that the killing of one of the

militia heads, the other Soleimani as they'd like to refer to him as, that they got the information from ordinary Iranians. We don't know whether that's true or whether it's propaganda because, you know, the one thing you'd want to do is if your leaders are being killed and you see the reports from the States, which they probably do, that the Iranian citizens are helping, either you execute someone who isn't responsible, you execute somebody who is responsible or it's a complete

lie. Yeah. Right. You're doing it for the propaganda of basically telling the people, this is what cooperating with the Israelis will get you. Right. Which they already know. Well, we know that the regime has no problem at all killing protesters,

“killing ground citizens. So I think it would already be assumed, but you kind of restate it.”

If it's not true, you restate it. And if it is true, you, of course, put it out there, to again, restate it to the citizens of Iran that you are not going, you are not to do this. I think it was Monday's show that you and I both said, with what the president was saying, it seems like he's made the decision we're finishing this. And I think now that we're to Wednesday, I will stick by that. I don't think, either also with what he said about NATO. We don't need your help.

Right. Right. That there's not going to be any hesitation, because that was some of the concern. I mean, you saw it in in conservative media saying, is the president going to leave the job not done. And when he came out and said, we're not going to go back every two years. Right. We're going to finish that off the way I saw John Bolton like that. It goes, but the president's right. It's true. If you're going to go in, you finish it. Yeah. And when, you know, the Wall Street Journal had that,

their lead article, in fact, was how the Israelis are going in. And one by one, if they have to taking out everybody in the regime. Yeah. Because we had said probably, you know, one thing again, even if I know which I don't, I wouldn't report it. You know, if we knew where assets were on the ground, we have said though, don't be surprised. We know Israeli assets around the ground. We know the CIA is on the ground. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody knows that. I mean, that's just, that's a given. I don't

like this, the CIA is on the ground to summon it in information. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Whether there's

“special forces there or not, we don't know. Yeah. But it looks like, you know, and, and, you know,”

that could take, that could take a little while. But uh, when you, when you see everything that's going on, and we, we started out the show, but with this yesterday's saying, it's getting to be just absurd, where we judge a war minute by minute. And it's a good, you imagine a four or war two is judge that way every single minute. Imagine, would we have ever won any war of social media existed? Well, no, I mean, you know, you think about it. It was back in the day it was newsreels.

Yeah. You know, if you didn't have a TV, you would see it at a theater. Yeah. You would see it. Yeah. You know, your great point. Yeah. Which means you don't only see it once a week, once that's if you're wealthy, maybe once a month. Yeah. And so you would get, you know, of course, you've got a lot of things over the, the radio. But we all know radio is, we're joking. We love radio. It's, why, we, I listen to at least once a year. But it's, no, it is the, you know, if you

think about it, radio kind of has always been, the original social media. I mean, everybody

gathered around the radio. Yeah. You know, television kind of became that. But for news,

“I remember as a kid, the evening news, you know, everybody would, you know, it's like quiet.”

'Cause there was no replay. There was no pausing it, rewinding it or anything, you know, today, with, I don't know, do they still have DPR? No, but you mentioned going to the movie theater during World War II to see the, the newsreels, but radio was constantly reporting it. Right. Exactly. And even from over in Europe. Sure. And, and, you know, so that was kind of it. And, but the discussion, of course, was within the household, right? It wasn't what Frank down the

streets said at the Israelis are wrong because, you know, whatever. Well, but even in the, the,

the, because the media outside of social, I mean, the media is part of social media because they all have their own page. Right. And they, they post things on a consistent basis. So that line has

“been blurred to begin with. But even the media, as we said yesterday, it's absolutely reprehensible.”

It's irresponsible. It's childish and it's not accurate to judge a war minute by minute. You know, for example, when this, we made the statement last week, you know, the United States isn't what, which, which Congressman made that comment, the United States isn't winning this. Of course, we're winning it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We definitely are. Of course we are. But you make those instantaneous decisions. Okay. We've been at war four days.

Are we winning or are we losing? Well, yeah, we're winning. We know we're winning. Yeah, we're winning. And we know we're winning just by the common sense or the common sense to knowledge what our military and his Israel's military is compared to Iran. You know that militarily, we can defeat them. As we said from the very beginning, that's not even in question. So when you start questioning that, based on what we heard this report, this means we're not winning.

That's ridiculous. Well, the Joint Chiefs and nobody had a plan for the straits or who are moves or say to it. Of course they have. Yeah. You know, one of the things is, you know, the, that's been brought up is that, you know, these ships, you know, don't want to go because they don't know where, you know, mobile cruise missiles may be or whether they've got the cruise missiles that are buried so deep, which is why they were dropping those

bunker busters, right, five thousand pounders. Exactly to take them out, but what they're saying is, you know, hey, start us, start, start, exporting your, excuse me, escorting. Yeah. All right, I'm old. You know, you're the word escort. Yeah, it's starting. You can all, on that old, I can't get a date. I mean, you know, escort. I've got some of the escort me and my groceries to my guard. But, but the, the whole point is, you know, has, has been brought up many times,

all these tankers are insured. Yeah. Right. And they can't get the insurance. Yeah. They're more likely to get insurance if their own military ships are her, one on one side, one on the other, one in front, one in behind. Yeah. You know, it's, it's a simple thing like that. Yeah. And so, you know, that's why the president wanted it. Now, Europe has said, no, we're going to sit this

We'll do it alone and don't expect our help. And, you know, we've got a lot of troops in

“different places around the world that don't necessarily have to be there or not necessarily”

do we need that for the security of the United States. Right. And, you know, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens, you know, there, whether they're doing it because of the tariffs, you know, that's been brought up. I don't know. But if you're going to be involved, if the goal is to be a part of a winning coalition that you can take credit for bringing peace to the Middle East, this is your best chance you're ever going to have. Yeah. And, and it

would have and it's your best chance to keep the coalition, to keep NATO strong against Russia

and China, if you can be on the right side of history and bring peace to the Middle East, it is a, forget about whether it's fate, you know, well, I don't want anything in favor of the United States. And we know that exists out there from liberals. You know, it does. Yeah. You know, do you want to be part of strengthening the world coalition against Russia and China?

“Right. And, and if you want to throw North Korea in, but they're not really as much of a worry.”

You know, and so I think strategically, it's a mistake.

Forget politically, militarily strategically, it's a mistake for Europe not to be cooperating

to ensure that their own tankers get through. It's no, that's, that's the thing on, when we're talking about essentially protecting your own property. Yeah. In the very direct interest of your own nation or set of nations, it's a, and Trump wins on this all day. All day. I don't know what happens if anything changes. And they're positioned. But he is in the right all day on this. And, you know, I look at it like almost like Ukraine, Russia. You know, they're all screaming,

well, the U.S. needs to get involved in, you know, I mean, they practically want boots on the ground in Ukraine, going to war with Russia. This is a very, this is a very, very different situation because they have a direct interest in the straight-of-war moves and the threat that's still is in existence until it's not by what's left of the regime in Iran and also by their proxies. We know this. The proxies are everywhere. They're in every westernized country.

They are, they are on that soil and likely have been for a while. There are threats that come from so many different ways. If you're not going to do anything to protect yourself, why should we do something to protect you? Did you say that editorial? I don't know who had it. There's just so much

“news out there to absorb that, and I think it was headline, why the hoodies are sitting this out.”

It seems like. Yeah. And it's like they see the writing on the wall and they want to move away. Yeah, because they understand. From Iran because because they're next, if they take out a ran, then if we become a problem, we're next right now. You know, they don't know what to do. Now, again, that's a analysis, which I don't know whether it's correct or not. It was, we know Hezbollah has been active in launching some missiles, but it comes down to this. And we talked

about this early on. It is, again, you don't know how deep the loyalty is. And that comes down, that loyalty comes down to whether or not you believe the regime is going to win this long-term or not. And if the hoodies believe what, we're not, the regime is gone. If you listen to everything, the Trump administration is saying. And then, of course, the latest two killings by Israel of top Iranian officials, if they're not gone, they're almost completely gone. It's not going

to be long, which means the hoodies have no backing whatsoever, no support, and also likely no belief, but maybe if they are done, if they're sitting quietly for this reason, then it's about believing that the regime change is going to mean the end of their organization. Or at the very least, here would be my, they don't get involved. Now, because there just isn't that support coming from Iran. Here would be my question. And my question is probably making a statement.

but the change it seemed to happen this weekend in the White House, which is like, okay,

“no, we're going to, and we started off Monday, show by saying, doesn't it seem like the language”

is different? And there's not any Hemingahar in well, we'll see where it goes. And now, now that we're to Wednesday, the language from the White House has been, we're going to finish this. We're not going to go back in two years. Is part of the president's confidence based on the fact that whether it's United Arab Emirates, whether it's Qatar, whether it's Egypt, Saudi Arabia, that after all of the attacks that Trump has gotten the message from the Middle Eastern countries

and Iran, we're now, now that they see that Iran can be gone. And we know, you know, you go back to the Crown Prince 12 13 years ago. When he said, we have to diversify. We have to be more acceptance of Western values. When you see, for example, some of the major cities, you look at Dubai, for example, and how they're becoming international poor is, is the

mindset finally there that while Iran had the power that they had and the support that they had

from Russia and China to become pretty strong militarily over there, if it wasn't for the United States in Israel, which is the United States, it's be honest, you know, not that Israel couldn't do it, but we've supplied them a ton of weapons. Yeah. You know, that that you look at,

“and that's the whole thing that I think that when I love it, even Chris Cuomo didn't buy into it,”

that Trump is doing the bidding of Israel. Right. It's like, well, it could also be the opposite, that, you know, we've won, we won peace in the Middle East too, and this is a way to get it.

But is the president's determination based on his communication with all the Middle Eastern

countries where they're the ones that are now saying, we can finish this. Let's finish it. Let's sign these peace deals with Israel. Let's move on. Right. This is our opportunity to do it. Right. And Iran is no longer a threat for a while, and so they're saying, let's go for it at the same time that the European countries are following, you know, France's lead. Yeah. Really. And that's a question, but there's also

a statement because I have seen enough communication publicly between these countries and what they have said, and I just wonder with the change in really the last five days, whether the president has this determination based on the fact that he knows he has the backing of all the major

“countries in the Middle East, where Europe doesn't really matter. Right. Yeah. I think it is,”

I think the president is very competent. And again, I think he's right on this. We are right, I radio. This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by house products, tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. Act of weather systems, high winds specifically, is behind Nebraska wildfires that started last week. U.S.D.A. meteorologist Brad Rippie, Emerald Fire, burning northeast of Sydney, not too far, just northwest of Lake McConnell. He ended

up burning over 572,000 acres of freeze dried and cured vegetation across southwestern Nebraska, becoming the largest wildfire in modern state history. Two additional fires, burning at the same time, included the cottonwood fire too far from North Platt, it burned 122,000 acres. This fires still not fully contained although growth has slowed quite a bit. Hot spots could fill her up with temperatures of the central and western U.S. with high winds and summer like

heat. And Rippie says conditions are ripe for additional wildfire starts. A little wildfire situation until we get some good wedding across the central and southern Great Plains as we head into spring. I'm Rod Bay in reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC. This report brought to you by Senax Fughles and Loops. We'll be right back with more Red Eye Radio with every currently and Gary McNamara.

So now as we see that the Israeli military taking out leadership one by one, searching down

“each and every single leader that is left. The next thing, which again, is it out of our control?”

Remember, the Shaw's Sun came out and said, "We have our government. We've got the people. We have the infrastructure set to do it." Or the leadership core in order to go in and have a temporary government. The entire thing is now, which is beyond the United States control is do the people come out and do they revolt and can you get a temporary government in there?

But what I want to do is not to get a new student. The master of the team has left the

top-of-the-hand Internet, so master is really great. You can say that you can't get back to the market. You have a career set, right? But you don't understand. -Gal, it's just a failure to get back. Do you just do it with this career? And if you then work, you will get a chance. -That's right. -Safe. Like this career. -You have a career. -Now, you can go out. It's your garden start, of course, for the cooling, with action in quality and

the smallest price in hand. For example, Green Boots, Dünger Granulat, just 21, or

the Blumentop from the Hegel Team, just 70 cents. Until now, we have all the products in our region, and in the action app, action, a little price, of course, for it. -You're listing to Red Eye Radio. From the Red Leaf Backer Studio. -And we are a Red Eye Radio. He is her parliament. I'm Gary McNamara. Download our Red Eye Radio app today, and you can listen, when and where you choose. One more thing, too. We're talking about what to look for now in the

“next couple of weeks. The other thing would be, how do we secure their nuclear material?”

How is that done? Who's going to secure it? -Right. -Will it be the Israelis? Will it be the Israelis and American special forces? Will that be done? And because, again, there will be no Iranian military forces for a while, if you get to that point, where you say, okay, we can get a transition government in there. And the interesting thing is, I was thinking about the Kurds and been quiet. -Right. -Yeah. -So, you know, and heard from them early on, wondering,

what is their involvement going to be? -What is a communication done with the Kurds? But I still stand by, I think it might be very, very likely. And again, these are all

“calculated guesses. But I think the confidence level is greater than the non-confidence level”

on the fact of what has changed the White House to not be saying, well, this could be over in a couple of days to the message of, we're going to finish this job. It's not going to be long, but we're going to finish the job. -Yeah. -And we're not going to go back in two years. -Right. And then the same, this past weekend, when the show has sun came on, said, we're ready with the transition government. We've got the people. -Right. -And then the, the story that the Iranian people

are helping point out where a lot of these leaders are, so they can target them. The entire point is you know, does the United States go in with a boots on the ground as a piece keeping force to ensure that the transition government is in there and how do you do that? -Well, you know, because it, it leaves open that the problem, the gaps that it leaves open. If it isn't guided and if there's not oversight by the US and the Israelis, we've seen it in other nations,

with Iraq, the fall of Mosul to Al-Dekdati for three years. I remember coming back when Iraqi forces took control over Mosul again, and it had been three years, and you mentioned it being a much bigger story than it got the attention for. There was something else going on, but it wasn't

And so then you look at the botched exit of Afghanistan. And that created a terrorism superstate.

“So what you're looking at here is loyalists, and we know that there are many loyalists that”

will be in place even if you had peacekeeping forces on the ground. You're still going to have attacks internally in Iran from those loyalists. And that probably will happen for a number of years. It's part of this whole thing. It's not going to be a clean transition. It is not going to be something that happens overnight. And that's where getting the public support

becomes a bigger issue domestically. And I don't have the answers as to how you do it.

But if it's going to happen, the president's -- it seems as attitude has been from the administration this week that, "Look, this can't go on forever." And we're not going to come back

“in two years and sweep up again. We're not going to be back in this place again. And if that's the”

case, then there has to be -- and I would love to know the strategy. I don't need to know the strategy. It's not my business to know the strategy, but I can't wait to learn the strategy maybe years

down the road if successful and how you weed out all the roots that were of the loyalists that have

any kind of power or ability to attack. There will be some loan actors along the way, no doubt that we'll try and make a statement. I'm sure we'll make a statement. Well, or Islamic radical groups. Yes, from around the world. The war with Islamic radicalism, I don't see an end for it in anybody whose my age, their children's -- their grandchildren's lifetime. Right. Right. The -- and so we talk about the fact that we're not going to fight forever wars. I mean, we got out

of Afghanistan for that. And we just went stupid. Yeah. Because this is exactly what the 9/11 commission said. Yeah. Just because we're not at war with them doesn't mean they're not at war with us. Exactly. And the 9/11 commission was bipartisan in agreement that these things don't end. Right. It was a mistake to pull out of Afghanistan. We should have kept the presence. We should have kept the base. And a couple of thousand troops over there with the support.

You know, with that allowing it to become another terrorism superstate. But they're going to be exporting terrorism because of the idiocy and the lies of the Biden administration. Yeah. Remember, Biden lied to the American public. He said all the generals told him to get out. They told him the opposite. Right. And so, you know, we -- it's a different -- what's going on in Iran, though, is different. Every single one of these situations is different from the other one.

But the war against Islamic radicalism is not going anywhere. Right. For the foreseeable future.

“Well, you want to stop the major -- the major, I think, war that's going on.”

But we're still going to be involved in a war with Islamic radicalism, whatever form it comes in. That's not ending. Now, what would make? Because it's about the political will of the American people. And if you see hundreds of thousands of people, for example, hypothetically, the shots on it is in there gives us, for speech, hundreds of thousands of people there cheering, that will have a huge impact on public opinion in the United States. And talking about the fact

that we -- this is a transitional government. We're going to have a free elections. The UN will have nothing to do with it. Yeah. Because look, it looks like nobody wants to get involved in this and have peace in the Middle East. Right. Right. Because that's the goal. The goal is peace in the Middle East. The goal beyond Iran, we all know this, is to get Saudi Arabia to sign a peace deal. Egypt to sign a peace deal with Israel, to have everybody in the Middle East

East anymore. Right. Yeah. Not that Israel won't be a part of it. Right. But there is a recognition

“of many of the leaders we can't go on this way. It's not getting us anywhere. Right. You see slowly”

the slow Westernization, which means acceptance of other cultures, which again Saudi Arabia was talking about what 12, 13, 14, 15 years ago. It eventually has to get to this because and one of the reasons is fracking. Yeah. Yep. They don't control the oil markets completely anymore. No. Do they have an effect on it? Yes. But so with the United States, if the United States stops and said, today we're stopping drilling, just see how high gasoline prices go.

Well, it's, you know, it's that. And it's also, you know, it is about the difference between this

Iraq and Afghanistan is big, as you mentioned, because of what you have from other Middle Eastern

“nations right now. And the cooperation and that will to cooperate in a way with the U.S.”

and Israel. And Israel is mind blowing if you've been paying attention for the last 50 to 60 years. And it's especially mind blowing when it comes to Iran. So with Iraq, you know, while we had allies involved with, you know, Afghanistan, we had allies involved. In this, it is about, then, sorry, to the Trump administration, it was about regime change,

but it's also about a change in the mindset in the Middle East. And it is a pivotal moment

that if it works to that extent, then the days of state sponsored terrorism, like what we have seen in recent years are all but over, not completely over, but you won't see it on at large scale,

“because they understand, you can go this path or you can go this path.”

You're, you're moving in the direction. And I would say slowly moving in the direction of a more Western philosophy, yes, which is peaceful coexistence with other signing peace deals trade trade. Yep. Saudi Arabia talked about that 15 years ago. We got to have trade. We cannot survive. We can't just be an oil producing nation. Right. Other energy forms are coming in and the United States boom because of fracking. Right. You know, and Russia even,

yeah, because oil found around the world. And natural gas deposits in the United States, it's like we don't control it anymore. We have to diversify our economy. In order to diversify our economy, we have to have trade deals. If we have trade deals, it means we have to be much more accepting of Western culture. Yeah. And I was, I was seeing the Dubai where they've got the the tallest skyscraper. Yeah. All American architecture. Yeah. Americans are all over that building.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. When you actually see it, you talk to the people that are architects, so many of the engineers, all American. And it's like, we have the biggest, it's like, well, they have the biggest skyscraper, but it's really government funded. You know, that's another interesting thing. All these, well, how come they're building all the skyscrapers because they're not profitable. Yeah. Right. Their government funded to show, okay, we are rising to become part of what

a superpower, you know, which they're not yet, but that's the example they're giving. If we can build this tall skyscraper, you know, it shows that we have status. Well, if you want status, it means you want acceptance. You don't get acceptance with Islamic radicalism saying we don't accept anybody unless you abide by what we say. Right. And so that's the one thing that sits in the back of my mind was the change in the White House to put out that consistent message that we're getting this

job done, which was even yesterday when the presence of we're not going back every two years. Right. We're not going to do this. We're finishing the job. Is it because of the support from the countries in the Middle East and the communication between, since the war has started? And now they see that the United States and Israel have a chance to defeat Iran and bring peace deals between all the major countries in the Middle East that that's now a possibility if this job is

I said, they've been slowly moving. That would be an acceleration that I would thought I would

“never see in my lifetime. That's what you hope to get. Can you get there? I think that's I think”

that's the key here is the key because if you, because in two years, maybe you don't have the cooperation by other Middle Eastern nations. If you don't get it done now, this may be right now, the opportunity to walk through this door, get it all done and have the backing and change everything

because if those Middle Eastern, those other Middle Eastern countries believe, oh, this really

wasn't going to be a long-term deal. This really isn't going to benefit us long-term. We, we were suckers in getting involved. If they don't see you, go the full measure. They lose confidence

“and the whole deal collapses. And that can't happen, and I think the president knows that.”

We are right, I radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carley, it's red I radio.

We are what I radio. He's our Crony and I'm Gary McNamara. I guess one more thing to bring up.

Now with Israel and the United States targeting individual going to target as many in the government as they can target. Does that bring Iran to the negotiating table, the leadership that is left saying, and the negotiation can only be, you're gone. Yeah, you're gone. You don't die. You get your life. Whatever you can go, you can go because the point is, you're not going to win

“this. You're either going to die by us or the public's going to hang you. If you want to live,”

that's the, because that would be the whole point, because I hear that all the time. Well, this is going to force them to negotiate, negotiate what? There's only one negotiation you're gone. Right. And now the rumors about the Supreme Leader. That has to be a cultural shock, and I don't know how many people in Iran have heard the rumors, but that's something you can't get beyond and disprove. That adds a whole new element to this whole thing.
