03-18-26 Part Two - Stupid Leading the Stupid

From a low-tempo, robust garden, it is better to take a picture of it.

In addition to the quality and the low-tempo price, it is now all garden products in our region and in the auction. In addition to the small price, big friends. 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 when I radio, he is here currently and I'm Gary McNamara. And I've been doing research for the last couple of breaks.

“I saw this and it was a... I'll say more of a Republican website, I believe, that for America,”

that wrote a quote, but they don't have the audio on it. And it's said Senator Blumenthal, I have to admit, I don't know where my birth certificate is, and of quote. And it's been a beneath that also Senator Blumenthal, I served in Vietnam as a quote. Yeah, remember that whole scandal. And so I've searched AI and everything else.

I can't find anywhere where they say he said that yesterday that I have to admit I don't know where my birth certificate is.

And the reason I'm researching it is because I want him to be the third major Democrat to say that.

Oh, yeah, definitely. Because when I saw that, I went, oh, wait a minute. Okay, got to check it out. I cannot verify it. And I don't know what this website is that has him in quotes saying it. It's not, you know, where they'll say this person said this and not in quotes, it's in quotes. But I cannot find it yet and I searched AI and couldn't find it.

They didn't have it. They couldn't find any record of him saying that because then you've got three major people that would be Bernie Sanders. Who else was the person said it? The governor of California. Oh, yes. Newsom. Newsom said it. Sanders said it. Then it would be Blumenthal if that's true.

He said it, which again helps to prove my theory that the Democrat leadership is saying we just can't say that minorities don't know how to do it. Because we're being called racist for that. So we've got to say that look, minorities aren't the only stupid people that vote for us.

“Because that's what we're not saying that. We're not making that accusation.”

We're saying that's what they were communicating and getting burned back on. Yeah, by by saying minorities don't know how to do it. They can't have access to it. And then what happened was you had conservative minorities come up and say, yes, we do don't insult us by that. That's racist. So then in order to get around that, they had to pretend that they're stupid too.

These are whole concept is there's two things this week so far. Two things at least that they've stuck with me. The the emphasis of Democrats that we are the lead. We are the stupid leaders of the stupid people. Yeah, on the whole voter ID thing.

Yeah, we don't know. So I'm really trying to do some research. If anybody else can do it and you find out the audio cutter can find it. Let me know. I haven't been able to find that quote yet. But I'm hoping Senator Blumenthal said it. You know they're thinking it. Okay, I got to use this now. They're all lying.

Yeah, they're all lying. They know they all know how to find their birth certificates. But I need to find out what the Blumenthal said that or not. Yeah, I only see the meme and I only saw the meme yesterday.

So I never seen video of him saying that.

Yeah, and there's a still of him on C span two. Yeah. And it says government voter ID and citizenship requirement bill. But nowhere is there.

“Can I find the audio or the video of him saying that?”

Right. Because I want to, you know, that's like I said, we got two to two major Democrats to say. Right. We're idiots. We don't know how to do anything. And we believe it's because they got burned by saying minorities don't have the capability of doing it.

And then they got the pushback from conservative minority saying, that's racist for you to say that. So they had to find a new way. And so it was like, well, no, we're not saying you're stupid. We're all stupid. We're saying everybody's stupid.

All Democrat is you. We're stupid. We can't do the normal things that people do. And if you weren't so stupid, you wouldn't know what I'm saying. Right. Now we know that Blumenthal has been caught in lies before.

But that's their campaign effort.

“Their campaign effort to win the midterms is we're idiots.”

And we're the, we're the, we're idiots. We're the idiot party leaders of the idiots that vote for us. Yeah. And they hope to take that to victory. So I'll have to, I'll have to do more research on that to see a Blumenthal actually said that or not.

Yeah, I can't find anything with the meme. And the other thing over the last couple of days. And we've said this many times before is the Democrats out there saying, We're spending all this money. We could spend it on free healthcare.

And again, as we've said, over and over again. Democrats in every liberal state could have free healthcare if they wanted it. They could vote it in, they don't. Yeah.

Why don't they vote it in?

Right. Tired of partisan noise. America's more divided than ever. But independent Americans is adding the light to contrast all that he. Independent Americans daily news with Army veteran Paul Reichoff.

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. Join the movement independent Americans from believe. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

Right. Democrats, why aren't you furious? Why aren't you furious? Absolutely furious. We know some work. Remember when the whoever was it was at the Senate leader or house leader in California that said,

We can't bring this up because we need to funding mechanism. I think it was the house leader.

“I think that the Democrats and he got death threats for it.”

So they were angry. Yeah. What do you mean? We could have free healthcare in California. And you say you won't do it because we, we need to figure out what the funding of it would be and who we would tax to get it.

No, just do it. Where are you about that later? Right. No, that's exactly what they would love to do. And then slowly raise taxes on the people of their state to pay for it.

Or go to the federal government for hand out. You know, they can't get it done because they don't dare politically put into a bill. The funding mechanism that would be required to pay for everybody's healthcare. It's not free. Yeah.

You're going to pay with high gasoline prices or high state taxes or sales tax income tax. All the above, whatever it is. And liberals only want healthcare. If their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great great great great great great great great. Great, great, great, great, great.

Grandchildren all the way out. Pay for it. Yeah. As long they want free healthcare because they love taxation. That big loophole of taxation without representation.

Yeah. Tax the people that aren't born yet. Yep. Which means you really ought to start reproducing liberals. Someone's going to need to pay.

Bar, here's why they're not producing because all the conservatives having babies. Those conservative babies are going to have to pay. Well, speaking of reproduction. Yeah. Someone's going to need to pay.

Bar, here's why they're not producing because all the conservatives having babies. Those conservative babies are going to have to pay. Well, speaking of reproduction. Yeah. No, this is not this is not the sex talk portion of the show.

Okay. This is coming up in the next segment. Well, no, this is going back to some of the headlines I saw yesterday. Because we had talked about it because it's a huge issue. Because this is something that went on for almost 60 years in this country way over half century.

“And it was, we would mention yesterday that Paul Ehrlich, who was really, I believe the father”

of the modern insane environmental crap that we've had a deal with for the last 50 years, 60 years. Yeah. He was the one. He was the one that came out and said people are the problem. Yeah.

That there's going to be mass starvation every single major prediction he made was wrong. He might have made some minor prediction that I don't know what. I'm just from one. I know every prediction was wrong. We wrote that Jason Riley, obbed piece in the Wall Street Journal.

Paul Ehrlich was always wrong.

Never endowed. He did not reputiate his warnings when they failed to pan out. Yet did not lose his popularity or prestige. Did you know? I didn't know this.

Wow. Carson said he was one of his favorite guests. Wow. I didn't, I don't wonder why. Well, I told you that I remember him so much.

I don't remember him being on Carson or watching him on Carson. That was new to me. But he was all over the place.

“That's what got the entire wacko environmental movement moving in this country.”

Really, to me was was irrelevant. And even 60 minutes a couple of years ago, as we played yesterday in 2023, had him on and he's still promoting it. And then was the New York Times that said, Well, it didn't happen yet.

He was just premature in his predictions. What are you talking about? Yeah. We have this way ahead of his time. We have it for it.

We have a deep population problem now. No, we're looking at again, the birth rate dropping. Yeah. We have the opposite of what, and we knew that in 2023, and he was still off putting off the same BS.

If there is ever the most perfect example of what my father told me that people want to be BSed. Yeah. And the more drama and doomsday scenario that you can put into BS without the evidence to support it by making outrageous predictions

always being wrong because they never come true.

And the people saying, give us more and spend more of our tax money flush it down the toilet, regulate our lives. Do no end. Make things more expensive. Make it harder.

Make the economy much tougher to live in. But just BS me and put a bunch of drama to it. Paul Ehrlich was really the beginning of that in the United States. Yeah. Maybe the world.

But here he is back in 1970. Okay. All right.

“This is, I think this is a year after two years after he wrote his book”

in '68, the population bomb. Here we go. No. Given the population explosion, let alone in this country, what can the government, what ought the government to do about this?

Well, what it ought to do is this. The first thing you don't want to put, I'm against government interference in our lives. You want to minimize that. So the very first thing the government should do is try and take the pressure

off to reproduce. There's a lot of pressure in our society now to reproduce. If you're single, people try and push you into getting married. You know, you're wife. You have a bachelor over in your wife's decision.

I have a nice girl over the ideas. You know, nobody should escape. So there's pressure to get married. Young couples that they don't have children. People say, gee, they must be sterile.

They never say, gee, maybe they like good wine and going to the theatre

and so on, they prefer that to scraping diapers. So there's pressure to have children. So the first thing that should happen is that the president ought to say, from now, here on out, no intelligent patriotic American family, what to have more than two children, preferably one.

If you're starting a family now, not any law, but just say, this is what responsible people do. You ought to make the FCC see two of the large families are always treated in a negative light on television wherever they appear. There ought to be a tremendous amount of television time,

devoted to spot commercials, the sort we've had again smoking. But the ones in the middle say in the middle of Beverly Hillbillies, you get a scene which shows Los Angeles and the smog, and I just says this city has a fatal disease. It's called overpopulation and so on.

Now, that sort of campaign, you can have a census, a sample census, which would see whether that was having a desired effect. If that didn't, you could move to giving women bonuses, we're not having babies. That almost certainly would do the job.

If that didn't have the effect, then you could move to changing the tax structure, so that people who had the money and had the children paid for the children. In other words, you would increase taxes on people with children, rather than decrease.

Since they had the children, they require more services. If that doesn't work, then you'll have the government legislating the size of the family. And people say, "Oh, that's impossible.

Government can never intrude and tell you how many children to have."

Well, I got news. You know, it intruded a long time ago and told you how many wives you can have. And there's not the slightest question that if we don't get the population under control with voluntary means that in the not too distant future, the government will simply tell you how many children you can have.

And throw you in jail if you have too many. You know who reminds me of. He always reminded me. Just the way his voice sounds, his mannerisms, and L. Ron Hubbard from Scientology.

Yeah. That's a weird idea. What's this name? The guy, I'll think about it in a few minutes. His name will come to me during the break.

Oh, the the muck raker.

“Remember the guy that started the organization that just went after”

big industry all the time, and then the whole senior, Ralph Nader. Yeah. His speaking style sounds like Ralph Nader.

And what you just heard there is that's probably what appeal to Johnny Carson. I don't know. I can't tell you. But it also could be maybe Johnny knew.

It was kind of out there and people would tune in. Right? Because that was new. And that was new to the whole game. People didn't know.

There was no internet. There was no fact checking a guy that was sitting on a couch with Johnny Carson. Right? So if the viewers ship went up, you had him on. And for whatever reason, you know, viewers were attracted to him. Because he was saying outrageous and scary things.

You, this is what has always been done.

And he was the forefather of this. The sky is falling. The world is going to end. And he talked in absolutes. Yes. He didn't talk.

He didn't talk like, you know, you know, what are we going to do is technology. This is great questions to ask is technology. Look, the debate was on.

“I remember when I graduated from high school.”

Don't worry. Because halfway through you're working career. By the time we get to 1999, you'll only working three or three days a week or four days a week. Yeah.

Because there won't be enough work for anybody. We're in the same thing about AI now. And that great debate's going on. We have heard that debate really since the industrial revolution. But all jobs are going to be gone because they're going to be automated.

Yeah. And, but you have politicians that speak in absolutes. And people like him that spoke in absolutes. And then when proven wrong over and over again over the period of 60 years. He's still was saying, I'm not wrong.

Even when it's the opposite that is true. Nobody is worried about over population. No. We're worried about a decreasing population in the world. Yeah.

Yeah. And he was still promoting it. Right. And the left was still. Just a few years ago.

And the left was still wanting to implement all the climate change plans and everything else. Yeah. Based on what he started back in 1968 with the population bomb.

“Well, and the only thing I can think of is someone like that who was given that kind of credibility all along.”

Could never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever admit he was wrong.

No. Well, the best part was, remember he said by 1980. The lifespan in the United States would be 42. Right. He lived to 92.

Yeah. We are Red Eye Radio. Brought to you by FPPF, fuel power max. After fuel and owner operator's second biggest variable cost is tires. To save, get as much life out of them as possible with good habits, maintain proper inflation.

It's free and easy. Yet it's the highest saving maintenance you can perform on the truck. In proper inflation is by far the greatest reason tires fail early. Perform routine maintenance. If a technician can, by hand, initiate irregular movements in Tyrod and Kingpins, wheel bearings and torque rods.

That spells trouble. Fight irregular wear by replacing suspension components. On the steer axle change your shocks at least as often as you change your tires. On the drive axle replace shocks halfway through the Tyrod's life. And when the tires are changed to.

Finally, employ good driving habits.

You have full control here. We're conservative driving over rough surfaces helps reduce wear. Speeding, hard braking, curbing, and tight turns cause tires to wear fast. On the other hand, steady acceleration. Braking and steering can extend the life.

He winds up on for your goals. 866-9BRI, on Red Eye Radio. [Music] We're running radio. He's currently and I'm hearing Matt Nemera.

A little bit more because a bunch of stuff written yesterday on Paul Ehrlich who died last week. Maybe he was 93, I've got 92 or 93.

“Remember, he's the one that said the average the life span is going to go down to 42 years by”

1980. He lived in 93. He was wrong on everything. Right. But it just shows you how foolish even in a free society we can be.

He was wrong over and over again. And still on the left, he has total credibility. Oh, yeah. No, it's still the base of everything they're doing. [Music]

On our website, when I radio show that job, show info with stations, podcasts, and more red, I radio. And he is currently and I'm hearing Matt Nemera. With the death last week of Paul Ehrlich at 93 years of age and he was Mr. Doomsday. And in my opinion was the father of the radical environmentalist movement in the United

States. And the thing is he was wrong on everything.

“And so we think it's important to bring up because we have spent.”

You think about it when his book came out in 1968, the population bomb. And he was promoting it before there before that time.

He was out there for the last 60 years promoting things that never came true.

And we look at the climate change movement, for example, which he was also part of. He bought into the climate change and and everything. And the Doomsday scenarios over and over again that in climate changes, we've talked about never have happened. Right.

Every Doomsday scenario has been wrong. And so we've always asked the question saying, if you over a period of a half a century,

“are wrong on every Doomsday prediction that you make?”

Why should you have credibility? Why are it paranoia? The the yearning to be best and have drama in your life. The feeling of self-importance and authority of control that you can control. A society with fear and a Doomsday scenario that you have no idea.

Whether you're credible on what you're saying or not. And we've seen the trillions of dollars that it has cost economies worldwide

with the insane Doomsday predictions that never come true.

Yet it's still endorsed fully by the Democratic Party in the United States. Maybe not to the extent of the population bomb. And then and the scenarios that he was bringing up, but they weren't debating him on it.

“Democrats weren't debating him on it at all.”

In fact, they've never wanted to debate on the radical environmentalist movement that they've been a part of. I do want to play because when we, uh, you and I back in 23 played, uh, Iraq when he was on 60 minutes. Uh, and when he was still putting out the same Doomsday scenarios, even though he'd been wrong for a half century on everything. Here's John Stossel, just a couple of minutes of the report that he did back then on it yesterday.

And we are in the beginning of the report, but this is John Stossel's report from 2023. Have you heard the world's about to end? We are in the beginning of a mass extinction throughout history. People predicted the end of humanity. This month, 60 minutes was on the case.

You seem to be saying that humanity is not sustainable. Oh, humanity is not sustainable. Bizarrely, they featured this man who is always predicted do. We are very close to a famine disaster in the United States. Why would they trade him like an expert?

Poll or like may have lived long enough to see some of his dire prophecies come true. But his dire prophecies, again and again, turn out to be wrong. In the next 15 years, the end will come. And by the end, I mean an utter breakdown of the capacity of the planet to support humanity.

His best seller, which sold an amazing 3 million copies, said nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rates.

That was comically wrong. Today, there are 4 billion more people. The death rate fell dramatically.

60 minutes did mention that Eric was wrong about widespread starvation. But they take him seriously.

“Never mentioning his other ridiculous predictions.”

Like his claim that by the year 2000, England will not exist because of climate change. All right. So that was just part of it.

Then Jason Riley from up at peace in the Wall Street Journal, Paul Ehrlich was always wrong.

And he was never in doubt. He goes, Ehrlich visited India and concluded that poor people were overbreeding. He believed that the developing world simply had too many people and calculated the earth's population needed to be cut in half. The operational demand, many apparent brutal and heartless decisions and the pain may be intense. He cautioned, sounded like a cartoon villain, but it would be coercion in a good cause.

“Ehrlich urged wealthy nations to cut off food assistance to the third world.”

He endorsed an Indian officials proposal for sterilizing all Indian males with three or more children. It was for their own good he insisted.

Well, the world population grew, but famine on the scale that Ehrlich predicted never materialized.

Within a decade, India not only produced enough food to feed itself. Thanks to technological advances and agriculture that Ehrlich had not anticipated. But it was a net exporter of wheat since 1900. The world is increased its population by 400%. It's crop land area by 30%.

It's average yields by 400%. And it's total crop harvest by 600%. Matt Ridley wrote in his book is 2010 book The Rational Optimist. So per capita food production has risen by 50%. Making spectacularly wrong predictions of imminent catastrophe became something of a habit for Ehrlich over the decades.

His dire forecast about global guling and warming were wide off the mark. A tofer. He speculated that the U.S. and Europe would be forced to ration food and encourage couples to limit themselves to one or two children. In 1971 he said the by the year 2000. The United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands inhabited by some 70 million hungry people.

Three years later he predicted America's economic joy ride is coming to an end. There will be no more cheap abundant energy, no more cheap abundant food. Today the UK has a six largest economy in the world. It's population has yet to reach 70 million after adjusting for inflation. Staples foods and energy in the United States cost less than they did 50 years ago and claim a smaller percentage of the average person's disposable income.

Ehrlich said in 1970, famine would kill 65 million Americans between 1980 and 1989. The reality is our population is more than doubled since 1950.

Our air and water have gotten cleaner and obesity is a much bigger problem than hunger. Ehrlich's neck for not only being wrong, but a hundred and eighty degrees in error cost him neither popularity. He appeared on the tonight shows starring Johnny Carson. Twenty times nor did he lose prestige and academia, but it did cost him a famous bet in 1980. The economist Julian Simon, we talked about this yesterday, annoyed by the phony bad news being fed to the public.

The major that Ehrlich could not name a natural resource, which would become more expensive after justing for inflation over the next decade. Ehrlich accepted the bet and shows copper, chromium, tin, nickel, and tungsten. He lost each one of those minerals declined in prices. Ehrlich sent Simon a check for five hundred and seventy six dollars in seven cents and widely, wisely declined the offer to re-up the bet. He would have lost in the year two thousand two.

“And so there you go, I mean, just it's so important, and then I go here to Wall Street Journal, Bjorn Lumberd, Bjorn Lumberd, who does believe that man is having some kind of an effect through global warming gases.”

He doesn't know to the extent, but he believes that everything that the left is doing is wrong. That everything that the Democrats want to do is the wrong way to look at it, and it goes, "Newson's climate false alarms," talking about the fact that, you know, "Newson's talking about climate change and the increase in fires and everything else in California and on the west coast of the United States are due to climate change."

As for wildfires, Newson is long, wrongly focused on California and the Western U.S. instead of looking at global warming across the world.

“He has repeatedly referred to California as a tip of the spear for climate change, including last year's fires.”

Years earlier, amid West Coast wildfires, he said climate change's role cannot be denied. The science was absolute and the data self-evident, but global data contradicts this. The satellites, U.S. satellites, attract fires globally for more than 25 years. In the early 2000s, about 3% of the world's lands burned annually. The total acreage and area about twice the size of Mexico.

The trend since, downward, 2022 hit a record low of 2.1%, 2025 nearly matched it at 2.19%, the second lowest that's a reduction of over 25%.

North America is the only continent where burning area is increased, but it accounts for only 2.2% of the global total. But why is that? California's surge in wildfires stem from overwhelmingly from poor force management, decades of fire suppression, the built-up fuels with almost no prescribed burns, studies indicates nearly 20% of the state needs control burns to reduce risk, you know, 0.1% to 0.3% receive them annually.

We know why it's happening. Oh, another thing is with energy.

“Energy is still lower than inflation, even with all the climate change regulation.”

Oh, yeah, that has made it more expensive. Another editorial or I bet piece I got to read that I saw earlier this week that talked about the fact of. Why are products more expensive?

Almost all of it is due to government.

Oh, take the cost of government out of it. You know, we, we will often isolate a blue state like California and say take the cost of the state government alone. And it becomes much more affordable and a much wealthier state. Well, I mean, when you look at it, when you look at the, you know, how wrong they were. How wrong airlock was when you look at and off to go through because it goes point by point all the different products out there.

All the products that really have been deregulated and there's been really no regulation by governments. There are many of them electronics. They don't do regulation on it. And how when capitalism is in charge, the price goes down, but the success has been and you see it even in the Republican party. You know, the whole housing thing.

“You know, that's the big corporations buying homes.”

That's poop for the peasants. It's not true.

Yeah, less than 1% of homes are being bought by large corporations. So, you know, to rent out, it's got nothing to do with it at all. It'll make housing more expensive. And the Republicans are behind it. Republicans want to do it.

Hopefully the house stops it. But they want to do Republicans want to do it. Elizabeth Warren wants to do government mostly liberal. Whether you're, whether your Republican or Democrat doesn't matter. It's whether your philosophy is liberal.

They want to blame corporations for everything for the increase in prices and greed and everything else. When you actually break it down, government is responsible for the increase in prices of most goods. Yep. And the same thing here when we look at, you know, all the expense. All the prices that went up because of the doomsday insanity,

that, in my opinion, really in the modern America started with Erlock back in 1968. We didn't even continue to the insanity with Greta. They ever, how dare you? How dare you? Yeah.

But that was it. Once this took hold from Erlich, it was about the control of the media. And think about that back then, once you set something into motion like this, who was going to fact check it? Right.

When you have somebody who's so popular, he's making 20 appearances on Johnny Carson. Then everybody's listening and who's fact checking it along the way. Well, you know who fact checked it? Father time. Yeah.

Time. Fact check it. All of that. All those predictions, as you mentioned, life expectancy at 42 by 1980. And here's the guy that lived well into his 90s,

who was telling you that same thing back in the 70s with late 60s.

And yet we've let it shape the government control of our lives and the cost of our lives. Every day sets. We are right, I radio.

“We'll be right back with more red eye radio with every currently and dairy McNamara.”

We are right, I radio. He's our currently and I'm dairy McNamara.

Yeah, I always spent over the last couple of days, a lot of time on.

Paul earluck and and the things that he believed, but again, I went through it all. I mean, a half a century of the insanity of the insane environmental movement. And what it cost in productivity and money and and wealth and and and and good jobs for for people over this, you know,

“period of time, not solving the things that we know are problems,”

but coming up with predictions that were doomsday that there was no evidence of it happening.

Instead of saying, look, we need to be prepared if this could happen. Yeah, but making absolute predictions of what would happen. None of it comes true and still there's a huge push to continue doing what we know is not going to happen. Right, that's done.

This is where I radio on Westwood One.

It's almost over the stream.

“It's a bit of a shame, and then I hope this is true.”

Paul, no, I don't know. I mean, the stream is like my safe space. Can you tell me everything? Yeah, exactly. This stream is like the story of who just understood it. A game of studio, job or music.

It's just like I'm not like the story. The story is already read. Save? With what story? Great Britain.

From the left hand in the right leg. Besucher den warrants the story. In the more on TripAdvisor.de, Schreigstrich, Great Britain.
