04-20-26 Part One - Omar's "Not" Worth

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. I'm Gary McNamara, Eric has the morning off, so it's you and me. Oh the weekend? The weekend was really interesting. I had the independent Bob Golf tournament over the weekend. I didn't play golf though. I went to the party Friday night, went to the luncheon on Saturday, and it was 48 degrees, 30 mile an hour

wins. It was still raining, and it was card path only, which means you can't drive your card up to the ball. Now that was really sick last week, and I'm feeling great now.

“I mean, it's just it's completely and totally gone, but it wasn't on Thursday, Friday,”

even into Saturday, and that's just the point of just sleeping. I didn't see that there's so many people have told me and I actually saw it in the news. This bug apparently is all around the thing that I had. It's bad. But I mean, I was over by middle of last week, but it just I was tired all the time. So ended up not playing golf, went home on Saturday afternoon, did a couple of errands around the house. It got to be early evening, and I stepped out into my

backyard, and when I stepped out into my backyard onto the deck, I turned to open the door,

and I had locked myself out. Never happened before. I've never done that in my life,

locked myself out. I won't go into the details of how I'm not going to get into the specifics of my locks, but there I am. And what I realized is, unless you're going to break a window, my house is very hard to break into. Couldn't do it in the backyard. I was trying to look at it every window, you know, praying. Did I leave a latch open on one of the windows? No. And so I tried to climb over. I took a chair so I could get up, and I tried to climb over the wood fence because I was sinking

to myself. I need to get to the front yard. I didn't have my phone or anything. Need to get to the front yard. Maybe I left the front door open. Maybe just maybe I left it open because I was going in and out of both doors doing things. Couldn't get over it. I just couldn't get over it. So I look at the back fence. And behind me is not a backyard. Behind me is a big pond huge pond. It's big metal fence. I was able to scale and get over that, but as I, I wish somebody was headed on film because

you would have thought that as I flipped over the top, I was going to die. Twisted my ankle a little bit, then had to walk all the way around the block and come back the other way in order to get to my front door and the front door was also locked. Luckily, it was able to get an neighborhood. Let me use their smartphone. It didn't take long for the locksmith to come out and was in the house in about 20 minutes. I tell you this, so they couldn't pick. I got great locks on my door. I don't know

why. What do they steal these days? They steal, but jewelry, jewelry and cash, right? Come on in my front door and get my wallmark furniture from 20 years ago. But I won't tell you how they got in.

“I won't give that secret away, but got in the house and everything was great, but I'm telling you,”

the helpless feeling when you realize, oh no, oh no. And I got new locks about a year ago, that's going to give one to my neighbor, you know, a key to my neighbor, one to a couple of friends.

It just never did. It was like, oh man, the helplessness. It was like 830 or something at night when

I realized I'd locked myself out. It was an interesting weekend. It will not happen again. Well, it hadn't happened like myself ever out of my house or apartments, whatever I've owned, you know, ever. So that was a, uh, that was a first. I know people are going to call and go,

So, uh, here we go. I want to start with this one. This to me was the best story of the weekend.

“Representative Alano Mar said she is not a millionaire and blamed a major accounting error”

after a congressional financial disclosure listing her assets as high as $30 million

scrutiny from Republicans and a congressional watchdog and amended filing review by the Wall Street Journal shows Omar and her husband's assets were between 18,000 and 95,000 a sharp drop from an earlier disclosure that estimated their holdings between 8 million and 30 million. You ever done that in your head figured out what's your net, you know, what's your basically your net worth is? I've done it in my head and I know what it is and I could do it in 30 seconds.

“The financial disclosure, there's no way you make a mistake. There's no way that you go from”

6 to 30 million to 18,000 and 95,000 and not even on how they're how are they confused between 18,000

and 95,000. It's really easy to do, you know, for your house, you figured out, you know, how much principle you paid off, right? You were how much debt you have left. You figure out what the reasonable appraisal value is of your house. You take that, you subtract, you know, what's you still owe and you got that on the house. You do the same thing with the cars. And then for me, you look and you say, okay, what assets do I have in my house? All the money in jewelry that I

know, I'm kidding, I don't have any money in jewelry in my house. The Rolex watch that I have, no, I don't, we went through that last week. You're talking about golf and I went, I've no idea this watch thing with guys. It has to be purely status. I'm not buying a $10,000 watch. But to figure out your assets and the assets of everything in my house, I don't know 75 bucks. I mean, what's the worth of the 55 inch, you know, great HD TV that's five years old.

“Six years old. When you get in the streets for that, you're not going to get 200 bucks, right?”

You can get one for, you're going to brand new one for 300. So it's like, you know, but you can very easily figure out your net worth. You go through the accounts that you, you know, your have, you look at your 401(k)s, whatever other accounts you have. It's very easy to figure out what your, your net worth is. But that was the, the, the best one. The amended filing reviewed by the Wall Street Journal showed that Omar and her husband's assets were between 18,000 and 95,000,

a sharp drop. The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along. The Congresswoman is not a millionaire Omar, a spokesperson, Jacqueline Rogers told the journal. What are you talking about? The finance, they told you they were worth it. Omar spokesperson, it's what we told you all along. No, nobody picked it out of the air. You disclosed it. This is our financial worth

between 6 and 30 million. I, you're the ones that did it. It wasn't a Republican that came

along and said, I'm going to figure out your net worth. And what happened was when it came up between 6 and 30 million, the big question was, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute, how did you earn that money? You're just a Congress person. What are you doing? How are you, how are you acquiring your wealth? The revised disclosure came after the Office of Congressional Conduct requested additional information earlier this year? Omar's attorney said in a letter

to the watchdog that the inaccurate filing was unintentional and stemmed from reliance on accountants. Does and I don't know what the lie is here. Let me put it this way. If your net worth is between

60,000. All right. That's your net worth. You don't need accountants to figure that out. Well, it's just so complicated to figure out what I have here. It's 60,000. You know, if it's 18, I don't know what the show owns a home or not. But if it's just if it's 18,000 and you know, they have a mortgage or whatever and a couple of cars that they're paying payments on and I don't know the financial situation. 18,000 is nothing. As we all know in net worth.

And so yeah, I just, I, I, some things stinks in that story to begin with. And the biggest

thing that stinks is, no, we told you all along. She wasn't worth 6 to 30 million. Nobody accused

you of that until you released it from your accountants. I could imagine if I had a countenance.

“I remember we had a guy called the show one time and say, you and Gary talking to Eric, you and”

Gary are billionaires. It's like, well, no, I don't know. Let me do the, well, maybe, maybe I am. If you do the Alon, Omar, math, recounting. Wow, I just love this. As, quote, as the busiest of people, it is a very concern, a very common for members on their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determine a determinations that appear in public filings. The attorney wrote according to the journal,

while the errors, of course, unfortunate. Nothing illegal has occurred. The amended filing shows Omar reported between a 102,000 and 1 million in income in 2024

“from asset she and her husband owned according to the journal documentation attached to the”

attorney's letter showed 213,000 in distributions to her husband from his venture capital management firm and $3,000 from a winery. Wow, either they were bragging in a 2025 email between Omar's husband and his accountant valued the venture capital firm at 7.9 million and the winery

at 1.5 million, though he owns roughly one third of both businesses according to documents cited

in the journal. Look, anybody can take a look at even if you own assets. You know, and you can figure it out by sitting down with that in a paper, what you have into a business, what it's worth, and whatever. This is pure, you know, I don't know what it is, but they're lying, they're either lying now or they were lying before. And to sit there and blame it on accountants, see, it's just ridiculous. So there you go. That was absolutely my favorite story the day,

or over the weekend. It was like, well, good, everybody. 30 million. Wow, where's she getting her money from? Where's this wealth from? And all of a sudden, they reverse it like that.

quite a few experts, even people from the Biden administration that were on talking about Iran's

nuclear capability before we went in on it before we went in last year. And then again, before we went in now, it really is some interesting commentary over the weekend. This is MS Hawksstein Senior Advisor for the Biden administration who talked about Iran in the nuclear capability. Here we go. In July 2024, Secretary Blinken claimed Iran was one or two weeks away from having enough missile material breakout capacity to eventually make a weapon

if Iran had decided to do so. There were indirect negotiations that the Biden administration did, but it went nowhere. So when President Trump argues that he did, when no other President would, is it just simply that the bill was coming due and it fell on his watch?

“I do think there was a stern element to that. And that's why I was supportive of President Trump joining”

in in June to take the strikes that we had thought internally in the Biden administration, we may

have to take if there was a second term. We thought that this spring, summer of 2025 was probably

we may have to be there in the same place. And we did, we did work games, we did some practice runs on what it would look like to look into it and be there. There you go. So I just wanted to play that for you. So the entire thing that the Democrats were talking now, even when we went in last year and now doing this, everybody knew, everybody knew from Biden, every Democrat knew, whatever. So when you hear them even when we went in last year and did it and the response from Democrats,

we all knew that it was BS. We all did. Then let's go to this is 60 minutes yesterday. And again, this was, let me just get to hear Matthew bun, former White House nuclear advisor who now works for the Harvard Kennedy School's Belphords Center on 60 minutes about their nuclear capabilities. There's no doubt that the combination of the strikes in June of last year and the ongoing war have seriously set back Iran's capabilities, but the remaining capabilities are substantial.

You can't bum away their knowledge. You and inspect. Ders believe Iran has close to

1,000 pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent, nearly ready to be used in a nuclear weapon.

970 pounds of 60 percent highly enriched uranium. What can you do with that? So that is enough material for if you enrich it just a little bit more for 10 to 11 nuclear bomb. And what else have you been trying to see? What else I had to have another audio cut? Yeah, this is from, let me see, retired vice admiral Robert Hayward on 60 minutes. Would an operation like this be worth risking American lives?

In my opinion this retired vice admiral Robert Hayward is a former Navy seal and deputy director of U.S. Central Command. He led elite special operations in the Middle East and says an operation in Iran could take many weeks and require a large footprint

“involving all the branches of the military. It's high risk. You have to occupy territory.”

You have to confront. You have to force your way in. So all those risks are inherent in that operation, but we can do it. It's been said troops would have to secure a full perimeter around any facility they'd enter. They might have to bring in their own bulldozers to clear rubble. Maybe even build their own landing strip in order to pull this off as a successful operation. That's what our military does.

Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make this smartest money decisions possible. Do not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes moot. What matters from that point forward? Upside games. Any type of ownership stake or ownership potential. That's the money.

“I am here. Download our Red Eye Radiant. You can listen when and where you choose.”

Just was watching the video of the US Navy opening fire on that Iranian flag cargo ship that ignored warnings to turn around over a six hour period and how they fired and actually put out the announcement, you vacate your engine room, vacate your engine room. We're going to hit it. And they did from quite a distance. Just fascinating video. But before the bottom of the hour, I played those audio cuts because I did notice it over the weekend that the

acknowledgement has always been there. We eventually had to go in. Democrats are going to have to

eventually go in to Iran or Republicans did. When you had the senior Biden administration officials say, that was interesting because on face anation. That is just sort of fall on Trump's lab because that was the timeline of them developing a nuclear weapon. And it's like, yeah, I agree with that. We were thinking that in the Biden administration in the next term, we were going to have to go in and take out the the nukes. And I thought it was interesting that the amount that I saw

that on social media over the weekend and really not debated by anyone. And so, Eric and I have said from the beginning what the president is doing is the correct thing to do.

And if he succeeds at it, it could be monumental. Now, the problem is what the problem the number one

problem with this administration always has been. Tell you, market something. Some things he's marketed well. Some things he has not. One of the things, and it was a perfect example this weekend. By the time we got to Friday, the war is over, stock market up, and the war isn't over.

“You know, it's a president's proclamation that Iran remember last week. Iran wants this. We want this.”

Iran doesn't want it. They have to be forced to agree to it. And it's at up and down and back and forth that the president is so optimistic that it's going to be ending now. And everything's going to be great. And everybody's going to make tons of money. And then boom, it reverses itself a day later. And the Iranians, I believe, know this. Whatever is left, they understand it. I mean, there's a ton of different factions in there. But they understand, no, this is how the president will react.

Let's give him hope. He'll be totally optimistic. And then we'll take it away tomorrow. And if you see a number of polls have shown that the eroding for support here, because you don't market a war like you may market economic policy. You can't be going up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down. Even if you're doing the right thing and you're succeeding.

“That's the thing. That's what gets frustrating to me is you're succeeding on this. You're accomplishing”

so many at the minimum. You've taken them back at least a decade. Now, it's interesting just watching, um, was it, was it, uh, Holman Jenkins from the Wall Street Journal that was talking about the fact, look, we've already won this war and this thing out there. And you saw less of it over the weekend that Iran's winning the war, Iran's winning the war. But the mindset of Democrats, as we know, isn't saying, but independence and others out there will be looking

and saying, okay, one day the war is won the next day. It's not the next day. It is the next day. It's not don't market a war that way. You can be honest with the American people and say, this is going to be tough. And hopefully we've got this here and hope we got this here. And this will be our goal here. They have made clear. One thing in communication ahead, they've made clear is that he wants he wants the the nuclear stockpile gone. And when you look at what they believe

is actually left there and whether it can create 11 or 12 nuclear weapons, they want that, they want that gone. As they should want it gone. But it's just the marketing of it. Friday,

And so the president is going to market in the way that he markets everything, which is the same

way. It's either absolutely unbelievable or it's a blank hole. But when you're in a war, it may be 75% of that that everything is going your direction. But you got to be realistic with the people of the United States. You can't be, you cannot be giving the impression all is fine. And it may be all fine. But it's the fact of the up and down. It's millions of Americans watching their 401(k)s lose $50,000 gain in the last couple of weeks, $60,000 and then seeing it go back

down again within a matter of days. I was looking at the stock futures and they're doing exactly

what you would think, oil back up again. And those are things that people notice. They notice that. I'm going to be great one day and horrible the next day. Well, it really isn't. We are winning. We are winning this war. We have decimated the original and subsequent Iranian regimes after it. But you've got a huge fractured, whatever hanging on government there that you're dealing with.

“And so that's how it should be marketed on a consistent basis. Now, it's interesting because”

the president's surrogates will be out there and be doing a pretty good job saying, well,

here's what we're trying to do here. In Ruby, it's been great on it. Vance has been really good on it.

But it sees highs in these lows and these highs in these lows and these highs and these lows and you just cannot market a war that way. The American public is going to say, hey, what's going on? This is a economic policy. This is a war. Where are we here? What's really going on? And the frustrating part for me is the fact is that he's accomplishing things that nobody thought

“could actually be accomplished in the Middle East. And now the thing is, you know, where do we go now?”

And let's say, let's say we get to an agreement and the Iranians allow us to go in. And again, this is the tough part because who are you getting to agree with you? 30% of the Iranian infrastructure, and I'm talking about the people, the infrastructure or the government agreeing with you in 70% not? How do you, how do you know? See, I, probably, you know, as we don't know. See, I probably has, you know, a much greater idea as to what the situation is at the, you know,

at the moment. But what happens after we get the nuclear weapons is Iran going to,

“are we going to invest money in Iran? Is there going to be a Marshall program for Iran?”

Will the people, will, will the people revolt? Will it be just another, uh, you know, Sharia government, but that's been severely wounded? Is that something the Trump wants to mess with or anybody in America? The Republicans or Democrats want to mess with? If they get their oil revenue back, will they quickly, again, maybe not be a nuclear power? But will they be projecting conventional weapons, you know, in the Middle East? Do we want that? What is the possibility

of a revolt and starting some sort of, uh, democracy, uh, in, or the beginnings of a, uh, democracy or a transitional government? Is a transitional government still off that, you know, completely off the table now? Is that not going to happen? There's so many questions that we don't have, uh, answered here. It said the ultimate in the very, very beginning is that if you could have gotten, you know, the regime change, which means with the regime, we're talking about the, the

to have some form of democracy, uh, in there. That changes everything in the Middle East long term,

completely changes it. President talked about that in his eight-minute speech the night that we went in the morning that we went in. Uh, is that still part of what they wish to do? Last week or week and a half ago when they were talking about the fact when he was, maybe it was last week, that, uh, Iran wants us. We want it. Everybody's going to make a lot of money. I'm paraphrasing here. This is going to be, you know, everybody's going to, uh, progress and financially. It's going to be the

great part of the world, uh, and there'll be doing business with each other and everything else.

“Is that in the realm of possibility? With Iran? And how do you get there?”

And so you look at it and you say, is victory, you know, what is victory to the American people in this?

Is victory, is what America look at this and say, and this would be independence. We didn't dependents look at this and say, okay, we've gone in. We've got the nuclear, we've got the nuclear material. It's, we've accomplished what we've accomplished, pull out now and get full agreement with even, as we've played some Democrats there, uh, in the last segment that said, yeah, we were going to have to go into to get rid of it. We were, you know, we were planning on doing it.

That was in the Biden administration that they were talking about. And, and so that's the problem. You don't have a specific defined goal as to what victory is. I will say in the last five days, they focused on we cannot have a nuclear Iran and so you could

“look at that as the benchmark regime change, which I believe was an initial goal. Is that still a goal now?”

And, you know, what happens to Iran afterwards? Do they, do they still stay a terrorist state? Will there be, you know, a civil war, uh, inside of a Iran between the, the, the factions, and should we care about that? Or is that up for the Iranians to decide for themselves? How much instability would that cause in the Middle East? Again, all questions don't have any answers for them yet because we don't know all the different scenarios and variables that might take place

in an Iran once we get, if we get, if that's our goal to get the nuclear weapon rain, and it's, it should be the nuclear enriched uranium. And it looks like Trump is serious on that. He wants that deal to do that. And I don't believe if we do that, he wants American forces to face hostile fire. And so do you choke them off as they're doing right now? So like I said, the marketing of it, stop with the up and down every day that we're at the end.

Oh, no, we're not at the end. But we're very close to the end.

“That people look at that and go, uh, uh, even if you're doing everything that you should be doing,”

which it looks like the administration is here. We've been fully supportive of what the administration has been doing. We are right, I radio. You know, when it comes to supplements, there are two things that I look for and I know matter most to you. First of all, it's got to work. And of course, that you can trust it. That's where really factor comes in for me. And many of my friends

and radio, in fact, on the radio have been endorsing really factor for over a decade. That's incredible.

They put their names behind really factor for a reason. I love really factor because what I'm noticing. I love this time of year, get out, do some things, helping my wife with her vegetable garden, doing lawn work, doing everything. And I don't have to worry about the aches and pains, the soreness that sometimes kept me from doing that in the first place. But also, after I was doing those chores, would kick in with the relief factor. It's not the case. We're talking about

unknown. What exactly would a deal with the Iranians be besides, again, them a green?

It seems that that's been really crystallized in the last five or six days that

“no nuclear enrichment and we want the stuff that you have now. How do you go about that?”

How do you strike the deal? How do you ensure that we can get in there and do that without taking hostile fire? Top of the our news is brought to you by HowProduct Visit HowProducts.com. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One.

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 Relieffactor Studios. This is Red Eye Radio. All across America. We are when I radio I'm Gary McNamara, Eric has the morning off. You know, before we get to our Earth Day update,

“I mentioned something last hour when we're talking about, what does what does victory look like?”

With the, you know, with the ran. What is it? I mean, how is the administration? How do they wish to define it? And as we talked about last hour and even last week, it looks like they've defined it as, you know, known hookes, known nuclear enrichment. We get the, you know, we get the enrichment, uh, uranium that you have, and that's that's the minimum of victory. And I had mentioned that I had read the Holman Jenkins column writes for the Wall Street Journal,

a victory in a ran won't look like one. And he said, so far so good, but Mr. Trump, I hear this. Yeah, uh, and Iran that can't get its oil out will soon exhaust its domestic

“storage capacity risking permanent damage for technical reasons to its wells by shutting them in.”

No wonder word came Friday of Iran hustling out a promise to stop its own blocking of shipments in the golf. So far so good. But Mr. Trump also wants a nuclear deal, even if it's far from clear that that would be necessary or useful, rather than merely face saving, given the destruction already done to Iran's nuclear sites and the ability of the U.S. and Israel at any time to return for more the way to deal with proliferators, nuclear proliferators, it should be understood by now

is not to bargain. It also takes a special kind of leverage to get a regime like Iran's to cut its own throat, which is what Mr. Trump is asking. Mr. Trump wants a deal judging by the size and character of their delegation. Iran's regime survivors, they want a deal. But don't expect a big beautiful one of Mr. Trump's promise. Don't expect a deal that in the administration words represents an Iran crossing a golden bridge to a new future, which is what we talked about in last hour, what

we talked about last week. And one of the challenges that the President has is one day it's this

incredible Nirvana that's going to be in the Middle East. And the next thing we're going to

destroy the civilization. I agree with it. And by the way, Jake Tap are still trying to do the whole civilization thing, which is like stop it. And it, you know, it came back. It was reborn again this week. If you take out bridges and electrical plants, that's a war crime. No, it's not stop it for God's sakes. Peace. It's just like, it's like the same old, same old, same old. But this said, if, yes, so don't expect a deal that in the administration words represents Iran crossing a golden

bridge to a new future. If oil is flowing again, Mr. Trump perhaps should be happy with the military success he's already had. Iran's or moves vulnerability now has been exposed. It's oil can't exit. It's imports can't enter, including the millions of tons of construction supplies. It will

are more interested in Iran proofing their own economies. See Saudi Arabia's 250 billion

rail in pipeline project to bypass the Persian Gulf. Iran faces a choice. The economic abyss or making peace with the US with the US allied neighbors. There's a little hope of attracting investor confidence. If Iran can't assure its own access to world markets while it threatens others. But the next hurdle I wouldn't hold my breath for would J.D. Vance calls a grand bargain,

“not a small deal with the Mollas. Does the Trump administration even need a clean ending?”

History says no. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars of Mr. Trump's predecessors were not fatal

to their political interest even as those wars went awry in ways Mr. Trump's around adventure

hasn't yet. Afghanistan went on for 20 years. Mr. Trump's wars looking like a bargaining comparison. And by certain measures, even a victory. But Mr. Trump craves a deal. The question is academic because he won't act on it. But if it came to his threatened attacks on Iran's oil industry, this would be with this really be catastrophic for the Iranian people under both the Shaw and the Mollas Iran is exhibit A for what a economist called a resource curse. Nothing in the card suggests

much improvement. As a result of the current war, the U.S. might be better just to move on. Which brings me to a point. The Persian Gulf closure is a sudden energy shock. A slower moving shock in the opposite direction is a world getting over its energy and climate delusions, Norway is drilling enthusiastically again in the North Sea, uncovering large new deposits of oil, for reasons indistinguishable from mental illness, the UK still won't. I remember Eric and I doing

a story goes back maybe 12 13 years ago about the UK. It was inside the UK, I believe, where the experts were going maybe it was longer. Maybe it was maybe it was 2009, 2010.

“But I remember doing this story where they're like, why is the U.S. going after its oil reserves?”

Well, what what's going on? You've got what what what what what are you doing? Now it's the opposite. Germany is saving its coal and nuclear plants. Canada is building pipelines again and making peace with its oil sands. The best way to weaken the world's oil tyrants is for responsible countries to give them competition. And it's something that we talked about in general, something that Saudi Arabia even recognized over a decade ago, that and it's really because,

you know, the United States and and and fracking. That's really what changed everything. We became an energy superpower and even Saudi Arabia, even the royal family understood, we have to diversify, which means if we diversify, we have to trade. And if we trade, it means we need to accept other cultures. Now does it change overnight? No. And do I trust the Iranians? No. And would I sign a live deal to golf? Yes. No, I'm kidding. No.

“Depends would it be cash upfront? And and so that's where you are and that's why there's so many,”

that's why there are so many questions here. You know, what is, you know, what is victory? To me, victory and I think the American public would recognize it. Victory would be not if a civil war happened or the different factions were going at it. But it's the fact that if you, if you look at right now, do we have, can you look at what we have right now, even if we don't get the enriched uranium? You know, if the United States and Israel will go back every time they do something, you know,

get close and bomb them again and go, that's it. That's all we need to do. But the problem is

is what we saw in Iran with their proxies, the hoodies in Hezbollah and Hamas. You can be as radical as you want inside your own country and a pressure-owned people as long as you don't export it. And that's the situation. Can you get an Iran to that point? Don't know. So what is the grand bargain? What would be the details of the grand bargain

And then that's it. You're on your own. I don't see, again, and Mr. Jenkins talked about in

his piece of the Wall Street Journal, the oil rich countries of Saudi Arabia would they come to help finance? And it's like, well, if Iran isn't going to change, you've destroyed so much of

“their infrastructure, if they're not going to change. Who wants to invest in there?”

But I think the point that he makes is great. And I guess it all is going to flow right into what we're going to talk about next, which is memories of Earth Day. No, just in general, when you look at, you know, you go back and look at, you know, that back in 1970, and where we've gone as a world and some of the predictions, because some of the predictions are coming out now. The one in the New York Times, saying in 1995, that the beaches on the East Coast are going to be gone in 25

years. Well, they're not gone. We passed that a long time ago. But it's when you take, again, when you think about it, because I'm old enough to remember when we didn't know we had this oil, that's much oil as we had. And the Middle East controlled everything. I remember the odd even days. I was working at a full service gas station. When the lines of cars were down the block, you'd have 200, 300 cars in line waiting to fill up.

You know, that's where we were as a as a nation in the 70s, in the 70s. Everything, I believe it was the thing. Well, we're simply fighting this war for the oil. Every war was for the oil. Because other people had it. Well, now we have it. And other countries know how to get it.

“And if you want to take the power out of a ran, that's what you do.”

Great point by Mr. Jenkins. Everybody should be drilling. But we got into BSNR cells to the point and a lot of it started in the 1970s. Paul Ehrlich, who recently died, all the things that he was he was putting out there in the early 70s and through the 80s and the 90s. And even a couple of years ago and on 60 minutes, still giving all these doomed day, doomed day scenarios. And we as a nation and a world and a significant portion of the world, still buys into that complete and total BS.

To the point that you had a president win in 2020, by telling the American public, we can run our grid on solar and wind. And instead of being viewed as that's pure insanity, the American public went, nope, that's a great idea. So I don't know anything works. And I don't care how it works.

Just I'm an idiot. I'm ignorant. Just promise me anything. And when they finally got in,

it was like, okay, we got to add nuclear to it. We can't really do it that way. Well, duh. And now we're at the point, this is really interesting. Now, where liberal states are saying, no, AI centers at all, none. Meanwhile, places like Texas, you see, I saw Ircott, our grid operator saying, by 2032, think about it where we are right now. Six years, we may need three times your amount of electricity to run all of this by 2032. And so there's going to be no choice.

“And by the way, the people that think, no, we're going to stop in ban, AI, I think you're not.”

It's not going to happen. But, you know, there's there's a we are right now. So we have our birthday update coming up here. It's going to be fun. A great blast from the past. We are right, I radio. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by house products tested, trusted guarantee since 1920. The latest forecast on California avocado production may have observers, such as USDA research, economist, Katherine Weber, saying, what the clock and marketing

year 2025, 26, the California avocado commission estimates that California will produce 330 million

of domestic avocado production. If realized, this season will be the third year in a row,

“California production exceeded 300 million pounds. California avocados are mostly available to”

consumers in the spring and summer months with peak shipping usually around the fourth of July, as for production from number two avocado growing state Florida. The Florida avocado administrative

committees 2026 forecast is 24.75 million pounds, a 14% drop from last year's estimate.

I'm Rod Bay in reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC. This report brought to you by Senax fuels and loops coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carley. It's Red Eye Radio. We are when I radio. He's our company and I'm Gary McNamara. Eric has the morning off. One more thing on the work, because I just happened to see this. I was scanning during the break there.

Supposed to new Iran peace talks are looking more like a joke than a hope. This is the

near post editorial board, but it's pretty good because the questions were all asking.

“As U.S. negotiators head back to Pakistan for more peace talks, we have to ask what's the point?”

It wasn't even clear as of late Sunday if the Iranians would send a team to talk, at least one Iran run news outlet was saying that they wouldn't. And if negotiators do show it's likely that any concessions they make will get vetoed by the real powers back home. Last week, the Iranian Foreign Minister announced to the world that the state of Hormuz was completely open for commercial vessels. News that the president joyfully shared with the world.

Then the parliament speaker said Trump had it wrong and Iran's forces on Saturday open fire on multiple tankers as they proceeded towards the straight. All this proves Trump was entirely right to continue the U.S. blockade of Iran's oil exports and is right now and is right now

“to look at season Iran's tankers anywhere in the world. Internal powers struggles in Iran may”

make talks in Pakistan nothing but a farce. The Institute of Study of War now assesses that the

hard-line faction of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is likely now in full charge of Iran.

They also are thought to control the country's nominal top dog, the seriously injured Supreme Leader in whose name, new incendiary tough talk decorations are being issued. It looks like the hard-liners will ensure that only that any negotiators can't truly negotiate. Trump would still rather end the war with no more shots fire, provided Iran offers hard guarantees that it will turn over. It's nuclear dust and end all new weapons work permanently, but he won't

be snowed. It will happen one way or another the nice way or the hard way it's going to happen. He told ABC News on Sunday. The United States and Israel have had something like two weeks of bombing left as per original plans unless Iran produces some verifiable, instantly, deliberate concessions by Wednesday those attacks should resume and that's the problem. Because the negotiations have solved what? The negotiations so far? Nothing. Nothing.

And so what's the plan to do it? I guess the one plan would be you keep promoting the fact that you're attempting to negotiate which then justifies actions later on. We're going to negotiate, but we keep the block eight on. We're going to negotiate, but we keep the block eight on. We've sent our negotiators over there. And yet, you may know that it's fruitless to do it, but it doesn't matter. You're looking to market it, you know, you're marketing it to the

world audience out there. We're giving them a chance. We're giving them a chance. We're giving them a chance. And this weekend with a number, I thought it was interesting. Number of experts out there in the American news media and the one Biden senior advisor saying, yeah, we believe that in the in Biden's, if Biden would have won, that in the spring of last year, they might have gone in. So what we saw last year from, and then this was a fascination. They were even making the point

in a green on the point, a fascination. That, well, this is just sort of fell into Trump's

We were going to have to do something, whether it was Democrat or Republican.

“All right, Earth Week. Earth Day. Well, today is 420, you know what day that is, right?”

Just remember, a little bit of advice here. If you burn one on 420, understand you are destroying the world. One of the worst things for climate change is growing weed. So understand on this 420 today, they still do that thing in Seattle. Remember Seattle, they have to do it every step, gather together and smoke weed and, you know, have a productive day. Remember what you do on 420 could affect the survival of the world on

“420, too. But Earth Day. Let's play the golden oldie. I can't believe Eric and I were playing this”

in the autumn of 2008. Wow. 17 and a half years ago, it was the first time we played this.

And of course, we were talking about the insanity of climate change where we are. But this used to be, wasn't our theme song. Well, sort of a theme song. There is a drum beat to it here. Here we go. Deep in the woods of North Carolina, an extremist echo group called Earth First, the Wales violation of American nature. I want to learn the laws of all the old group trained by scenes and tell them that we know them and that we don't want them to die,

that we are some people here who do care. So I want you to know that trees that we care.

“I think we are deeply hurting in America. I think we are deeply craving answers. I think that we've”

lost our identity as we have evolved into technology and into industrialized society. Bring me to this cathedral. Bring me to those guys. Bring me to this rock that has the most

incredible life. That makes me feel alive. I've looked at clear cuts and burnt forest and I

felt outraged but I didn't scream and I didn't cry and I need to. You know, my favorite part of that besides the scream is at the end. She says bring me to this guy, this rock that has the most incredible life. We should have seen the delusions that we see today. There were warnings, but there you go. An oldie but a goodie. Meanwhile, preparing this was going viral. The New York Times has reported that the East Coast beaches

may disappear in as little as 25 years from now. Oops. They published this in 1995. A continuing rise in the average global sea level, which is likely to amount to more than a foot and a half by the year, 2100. This, say, scientists would immediately

and would destroy many beaches around the world at the most likely rate of rise. Some experts say

“most of the beaches on the East Coast of the United States will be gone in 25 years.”

That was 1995, which means by 2020, this is, you know, over 30 years now, 31 years later, the beaches are all still there. And it's something that we talked about when Paul Urlack died, who was the doomsday of all doomsdayers. I mean, he to me was the one. You know, that with Earth Day coming about in 1970, and Paul Urlack promoting, you know, that, you know, that, and we went through all of his wacko predictions. None of them came true.

And still 60 minutes at him on a few years ago, saying, you still have a lot of credibility. It's like only in the environment, can you be constantly wrong? And that increases your credibility. But every single major prediction of doomsday scenarios, none have come true. And we asked his question years ago, when is it right to start questioning the credibility of these quote, "scientist who are wrong in every single doomsday prediction?"

“And then why is it wrong to question them and their credibility when they are consistently wrong?”

And I'm sure we're going to see a list this week. Somebody will put together the list. They do every single year on Earth, on Earth week, as it is this week, about all the different predictions

that never came true. And just remember, when I was in college, you know,

what we were, you know, we were all paranoid about at that point in college. When I was in college, my first couple of years global cooling, the the upcoming Ice Age. By the way, the Ice Age is coming back again. What is it about? Sixth, six thousand, seven thousand years from now, just because of the physics of the planet and the tilt of the planet, everything else and the orbit around the sun. They know that's coming. That's actually science based

on physics. But you and I don't need to worry about that. And if they come up with a formula and a special elixir that will give us a 10,000 year lifespan, I don't know if I want that. Let me ask you this, if if we could extend life to two or three hundred years,

“would that medicine also, you know, cure tendinitis and arthritis and water on the knees?”

Or if we lived to 200 or 300 years, would we basically have just a brain and everything else

would be biotic? Oh, where was it? What was the, was it the Boston Marathon this weekend? I saw they had there was a robot that ran to see their robot, they had this robot, the robot beat all the humans. And your point, is it good? Well, robots have rights, so robots should be able to run against any man or woman. The radical robot movement. What was it, and then this goes back again about, when Eric and I first started working together,

so it probably 18, 19 years ago, and I ever thought we saw the story by 20, 56 robots will have rights. That was the prediction from the futures at the time and we just went, let's see. Robot marriage! But yeah, there's where we are at the most, they were predicting that all the beaches on these

I was in junior high school. It was April 22nd, 1970. The weather had cleared up. I was attending

“Herbert Hoover junior high school in the town of Tanawanda, New York, which is a suburb above”

low. Tanawanda means swift water. Because it's close, well, it borders an aggro river, which eventually goes down about what six, seven miles and dumps over an aggro falls. So, I grew up in the town of Tanawanda, then there's the city of Tanawanda, and then there's North Tanawanda. And I used to date a woman that every time she would, you know, every time I would say Tanawanda, it irritated her. When we were in the stage where we weren't

getting along, it really ticked her off when I told her, I come from the town of Tanawanda. Stop it!

“You know what I did? I don't know, it goes about 10 years ago. We were main friends after we broke”

up. I sent her a town of Tanawanda, teachers. But there I was. Herbert Hoover junior high school. Tanawanda, suburb above low. The weather had cleared up, and I don't know what class it was in. But we were told, all right, all you kids, skidaddle out to the neighborhood houses and tell everybody that they have to pay attention and save the planet on Earth day. I'm not kidding. During school, I would have been what intense? No, I would have been in ninth grade?

Eighth or ninth grade, whatever. So we went out and they sent us all like, you know, two kids each, you go up to a door, not in the door. I think it was like one in the afternoon.

First door we knocked on. It was a guy who, apparently, worked second or third shift. So

sound is sleeping. We're ringing the doorbell, pound it on the door. Your guy comes, opens the door and his boxer shorts. You know, he's got the undershirt on, you know, with his shoulder straps on. What the hell you're on? We're here to tell you that it's

“airt day and you need to see how it was in puberty. And you need to save the planet. Get the hell out of here.”

That was the last door we knocked on. We just, that was my introduction to Earth Day. Wow, speaking about Earth Day. You saw to see the greatest story on the hotel. I mean, now, I mean, she's forgotten about the world ending. Now it's the gauze and the sexual harassment that would apparently going on or sexual activity on the float Tilla. It was a sexual float Tilla. Man, that sounds dirty. We are.

It's never going to get sane again, isn't it? It's just never going to get sane. We're never

going to be normal again. Are we? Well, we'll do our best. We'll put in the work, but you got a laugh. We are Red Eye Radio. Get in touch with Red Eye Radio, toll-free at 866, maybe Red Eye. We are Red Eye Radio. I'm Gary McNamara, Eric has the morning off. You know, when I look at 56 years ago, of 56 years of of Earth days and doomsday scenarios and all that, I was a boy scout, an eagle scout, and I know about conservation and natural resources. And I'm all

for it. And I just, I look at what the left has done, though, being concerned about the environment and the conservation of natural resources has nothing to do with creating a future scenario where we as a society cannot exist. And that's where we were headed. Understand again, when Biden was running in 2020, his goal was to run the grid on solar and wind based on all the insanity of what we've been talking about, the left has been promoting for the last 56 years.

It's impossible to do that. But think about that. That was actually

Eventually, after marketing that for about three or four months, say, "Okay, I guess we have to do

“nuclear too," because people were just average people were looking at going, "Are you out of your”

freaking minds?" But understand that's the point that it got to understand the trillions of dollars that we have taxpayer dollars that we flushed down the toilet for nothing.

“To pretend that we care. To pretend that we care about delusional doomsday predictions”

that we're never going to come true and never did come true. But understanding you got to scare

the hell out of everybody or you can't get what you want to get done, which was, as we've always said,

“"To control government control more of the capital."”

This is RIDI radio. On Westwood 1. Hi, I'm Joe Salsihai, host of the stacking

Benjamin's podcast. Most economists agree small amount of inflation is actually good. 2% is what you're going for. Why is everybody freaking out? Oh, because it's the fallout. People don't track their budget. You have this slow slipping that happens every month. To all of a sudden you go, "Man, I don't have any money." The reason is now two people go to a restaurant. The bill is $60 for two. Two guys walking to us, right? They start screaming. It's not hilarious. $60.
