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 vector studios. This is Red Eye Radio. All across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is here currently and I'm Gary McNamara.
Welcome in good morning. [LAUGH] James Freeman's column in the Wall Street Journal.
Alano Mars, amazing accounting.
[LAUGH] Investors want to know where to find assets like her. Now, we talked about this yesterday and I said, unless you're somebody like a billionaire, most of us could sit down with the pencil and paper and within probably a couple of minutes,
have a good estimated, could estimate what our worth was. Our net worth. Our net worth. Yeah. And it would be looking at your house.
What's the assess valuation of the house, the reasonable assess valuation? What do I owe? Right. The difference would be my, well, your car.
“If you got a vehicle, what's the Bloomberg value of it?”
What do I owe on it? What's a difference? Yeah. That's what I owe. What do I have, my 401(k).
What do I have in my bank accounts? And boom, you have it. You have it. And if there's a lot of retickets going to win. Exactly.
Exactly. Exactly. And so I'm just reading here. The bombshell report in the journal on Friday night has triggered a feeding frenzy just kidding.
The story is about questionable disclosures from a left wing politician. So the partisan press corps is largely ignoring it. The journal's John McCormick delivered the scoop, democratic representative,
“Alano Mara, a Minnesota's facing potential investigations pushed by President Trump”
and the House Republicans said she isn't as wealthy as documents. She previously submitted to Congress, suggests because the remainder accounting errors in her filings. And Omar disclosure filed last year's show,
she and her husband held assets between six and $30 million.
A massive rise and wealth from her previous annual filings, that jumped triggered questions among Republicans, eager to scrutinize a critic of the president. And amended filing viewed by the Wall Street Journal shows the couple's assets to be just $18,000 to $95,000.
The forms don't require exact values, only broad ranges. Not nearly as broad as the differences between representatives of Omar's old filing and the new one from extremely wealthy to far below the typical household wealth in one amended filing. Some readers are asking if her account needs to attend a
company, Minneapolis leering center, to brush up on his math skills. But maybe it's everyone else who needs the leering. So we can all figure out how to get in on Omar's style investments. Mr. McCormick reported.
Omar's husband, the former political consultant Tim Minet, is involved with the variety of businesses. Those include a venture capital management firm, and a winery in Santa Rosa, California. Here's a disclosure form show.
Those businesses had been previously listed as worth between six and 30 million.
In the amended filing, they are shown as having no value once liabilities are factored in. Omar's amended filing show between 102 and 1 million in 2024 income from the assets that she and her husband own. The documentation attached to a lawyer's letter shows 213,000
in distributions to her husband from his venture capital management firm in 2024 and 3,000 from the winery. Where does one find assets that have no value, but can generate 216,000 in annual income? Yeah, inquiring investors want to know.
I would love to know. Crediters to the winery and also venture capital management firm. They also be interested in reading the new filing. They might wish to apply and whether outfits having no value should be distributing money to the owners.
Yeah. I don't know if. What I'd love to know is that they own any daycares in Minnesota. That would be that would be one I'd check into. More hospices.
Yeah, exactly. Oh, I'm sorry, that's California.
It's a.
There's so much to pick apart you.
So much to unpack.
“You know, I was just watching a documentary about about the five families”
in New York. There's no such thing as the mafia. So we'll just say the five families. But one of the families was brought down through. Accounting forensics, which is a very interesting dynamic.
In fact, I go through it with my checkbook every month. For those under 90, a checkbook is something we used to use. It's called paper. Look it up. But in breaking it down, like you said,
I would love to know what. Give me all that information. Break it down because there's so much. We're not learning here.
So much that we don't know.
I just... It's just rigs of... I don't know about fraud.
“Again, I don't know where it becomes fraudulent”
and disclosure, right? But if you're talking about assessing assets, I would want to be accurate. I would want to be as close to the bell as you can possibly get. But they have no interest in doing that.
What this sounds like is an old Hillary investment that goes from zero to oh my gosh in no time. And we've seen this before. Again, it wreaks of money coming in. I don't know that this is the case.
But it wreaks of money coming in from nowhere. Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. You're not ever worried about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you don'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.
“Remember, you can afford anything, just not everything.”
A forward anything. Follow-and-listen on your favorite platform. Well, what I find, and I said yesterday, I said where they attempting to, there's only a couple of possibilities.
One is they don't want the IRS or any congressional investigators to be looking at their assets. Right. And so they revised it or they were just bragging in the beginning for the status that were rich and were not.
Because even if you own a business, it's not tough to figure out what you're worth. Right. You look for example. And I guess you could use your company as worth.
Whatever your revenue is, time seven. And then, you know, with your life, the multiplier. Right. I don't know if anybody really uses that multiplier when they do leverage buy-out anymore.
But I'm talking about if you just want to get to the estimation on it. So you take the revenue time seven. Then you look at all your liabilities, which you have to subtract from that. Because if you say this would be the selling price,
well, this, you know, time seven, just for a rough estimation, which is all they want. And then you take out everything that you owe. That would be your net worth for the company. Yeah, right, right.
Yep. And, and it's that. So none of this is hard. This isn't hard at all. This is something you can do in a matter of 30 seconds.
You don't even need a countens to do this. You know what your revenue is. If I own a business and it's my business,
I know what you and I always talked about this with bar rescue.
It's like, how did these people ever let? You know, well, you know, we were bringing in $5,000. We were bringing in $10,000 a month. And now we're losing $4,000 a month. And you and I just said, if we're bringing in $10,000 a month,
let's say it in any business. And it went to $8,000 a month. Yeah. You and I would see that's a huge drop. We would be what in the world is going not to get to the point.
I'm doing a full lot at myself. Right. Of $10,000, and then it's down to $8,000, I want to know what's going on.
Yeah.
And if it's if I'm pulling in $10,000 a month.
Right.
“You know, if I'm pulling $10,000 a month in revenue.”
And my profit is $2,000 a month on it after expenses and everything else. And that goes down to $1,000. Right. Then you know, I'm extremely concerned because I'm getting to the point where it doesn't matter what my revenue is.
It's what is my profit. Right. If I get into that negative area. Yeah. I don't even want to get near that point of a negative area.
And you know, at that point.
And it's an individual business owner. I would know that. I would know everything about my business. Otherwise, why be in the business?
“Well, and that's what it comes down to is is that this is a matter of for me.”
It's a matter of survival. It would be in the case. And in my wife and I have owned businesses before. And we did okay. We realized our strengths, our weaknesses and everything else.
And in some cases, we did better than others. Early on in my life. I owned a video rental store. Action video. And actually had an idea where we were going to allow delivery.
Because we were next to a pizza chain. And we were going to have stores. Next to pizza chains. So if you ordered a pizza, you could also order a movie. And the name of that company was Quick Flitz.
And now we have something called Netflix. And apparently they're doing very well from what I heard. And but I didn't have the experience, the knowledge. And also Blockbuster came in literally across the street. And pretty much, close this out.
We couldn't, they had the leverage we didn't. But in going through all of that, I knew where our strengths and weaknesses were. And I was fighting for that survival. I wanted it to work.
“And you know this in your in your life is your building of business out.”
So, you know, you presented the idea of our possibility of them. Maybe bragging about making up the, oh, we're worth this. And maybe to get some kind of status within the community to gain some kind of political profile. Maybe I don't know. I have no idea.
But you certainly know where it's at. And if you've got something again, a business that's worth nothing. And it's producing hundreds of thousands in income. Please tell me how that works. And that tell everybody how it works.
You could do a late night infomercial and probably sell your system as they used to call it. On infomercials to make that work for everybody and make people wealthy where they only had to work two hours a week from their home. It's, it's this, but we know what this is. We've seen this before. And what it wreaks of again is money coming in for nothing, which means political influence and/or fraud.
In many cases, I don't know if that's the case here in, in, in either. And either. When we talk about what Justice Jackson did not say was constitutional in that stop. Because you look at the totality of that, of that traffic stop. And you apply it to her financial filings.
Anybody who would look at this would say something is suspicious.
You don't go from saying you're worth 6 to 30 million to saying you're worth 18,000 to 95,000.
Right. It just, that raises the red flag right there. And as we said, it's so easy to find out. For example, one of my assets that I have. Now, I paid cash for my 2003 vehicle.
And I often have said, what do what it's worth? It's got 250,255,000 miles on it. I just, you know, you look it up. It's the Bloomberg value. Probably they say between $1,175 and $2,225 in the blue book depending on the condition.
And what the trim is between my two thoughts and three things. Right. Well, it has doors and wheels. It has a cassette, it has a cassette and CD player in it.
Cassette and CD cassette and CD.
That's the trim that there is no trim in it. There's the trims all gone.
“Somebody breaks into your car and leaves you a bunch of cassettes.”
And so sorry for you. And so I just looked it up right now. I got $2,000 for it. You got to see if you can order some cassettes. I should tell them not to need the last Vegas years.
I don't look that up for them. No, there's it available. There's it because I don't even know what the cassette is. It was in there. And it froze in there.
And I've never been able to get the cassette out.
And then the CD player stopped working about 10 years ago. Oh, no. What I have in it, I have one of the, you know, one of the little FM things that attaches to my phone. Okay. The FM, you know, the plug into the cigarette lighter.
Right. Works really well. Yeah. But the sound is horrible. I mean, it compared to my, yeah.
My new vehicle, which is nine years old, and I consider it a new vehicle. Yeah. Yeah. But it is like a new vehicle. Yeah.
But I, that's been a great vehicle. I mean, I've just bird that into the ground.
And independent Bob once told me he said,
"You just don't want to give it up because you're loyal." And I went, no, it works. It gets you a to be. And then it's not your everyday driver. No, it gets you a to be.
You know, and I drove it to work tonight. Yeah. I've been like one night a week. I bet you get more than that blue book. If you put it like on, what is it?
There's a site called, I think it's bring a trailer. Well, it's what it. And I think you get, I think so. Because you've got all the records. You've got all the maintenance records.
Oh, yeah. There's somebody out there that, that is, you know, that would want that. You know, like my dad has a four to two fifty diesel 2003. It's got sixty three thousand miles on it. And two thousand three.
“Yeah, because the only thing he used it for, he put a fifth wheel in the back.”
They pulled their RV back in the day. Oh, they haven't RVed in a long time. And so he drives it once a week or so. Just to drive it, start it and drive it. But man, there'd be a market for it.
That thing that bring a little more money than usual probably. The point is most people, even if you own a business, Yeah, you can sit down and with an amount of minutes. You can estimate what your network is. Yes.
It's not hard to do. Right. Yeah. We are right. I radio brought to you by FPPF fuel power max.
Leased owner operator should be aware of four common revenue myths. Myth one concentrate on increasing revenue because costs will take care of themselves. Myth two. More revenue per mile is the answer to all problems. Revenue per mile really doesn't change much from company to company.
Myth three.
“All you have to do to be successful is run a lot of miles.”
In reality, revenue is only half of the profit equation. Myth four. You can tell how well you're doing by the size of your settlement check. The settlement check is only a part of the success picture. Miles Driven loads hauled conditions, mechanical problems, time-off and especially costs all have to be considered.

Mindy Red Eye.
I'm Gary McNamara. So Alan Dersewitz put a piece in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Why I'm becoming a Republican?
I first registered as a Democrat in 1959.
The party's hostility to Israel is just too much. Look, don't be surprised at that. It's all part of the identity politics. And it's been going on for quite some time with the left. Yeah.
And the number one reason for him is Israel. The Democratic Party has become the most anti-Israel party in U.S. history. Yeah. Last week all but seven Democrats voted for an arms embargo against the Jewish state. And an avowed enemy of Israel.
Abdul El Sayed is gaining ground of the Democratic campaign for U.S. Senate. In Michigan, there's no denying that the hard left, the anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party has moved from the fringe to the mainstream. He means, yeah. Until recently, there was a age cap with younger voters more strongly opposing Israel. The recent polls suggest the trend now includes Democrats of all ages.
They're the party of racism and identity politics. They promoted all the time. They've been doing it for decades. Yep.
[ Music ]
Your decision to red-eye radio from the relief factor studio. [ Music ] If you're a red-eye radio, he is a calling. I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome in a good morning.
Download our red-eye radio app today. And you can listen when you choose. Oh, man, conspiracy theories. Okay. Here we go.
The new one.
“And I've got a few friends who said, what about the 11 scientists or the five scientists or the seven scientists that are missing?”
What's going on? Who's wiping them out? And this all came because of a daily mail, which is a tabloid. Yeah. Yeah.
And finally, because I'm looking and I'm going to kind of go to the story on how this is actually connected.
You know, there's not any really legitimate stories. On it. Right. Right. And finally, as a really national review yesterday, I'm just like, okay, finally, someone has it.
“Now, are the 11 dead or missing U.S. scientists really connected?”
The narrative first emerged in the daily mail story published late last month. Mystery of five missing scientists sends chill across America. Three are dead. And one troubling link is now under scrutiny in DC. Now, are there any chills being sent through America that you know of?
No. No. No. They're there. You see the story and you're like, oh, what's happened here?
The story describes a quote, a chilling pattern pointing first to two missing person cases involving a retired general and an NASA aerospace engineer.
Both major figures in Air Force laboratory research. The report explains with the general have overseen the other person's work designing futuristic metal for rocket engines. Within eight months of each other, both vanished without a trace while hiking in the southwest. The general's reported ties to a secret UFO program. And the other work with space age technology used to advance propulsion had led many to claim without evidence that the pair are fleeing from parties that wish to silence them because of what they know.
That's a quote from the report without any evidence to back that up. The daily mail then goes on to connect those disappearances to the deaths of three scientists in completely unrelated fields of research. One in MIT physicist who was murdered by a former classmate in Portugal. An astrophysicist who was shot to death on his front porch. And another assistant director of chemical biology at a drug maker whose remains were discovered last month in Massachusetts.
While the daily mail reports that independent researchers and even a member of Congress fear there is a connection. Nobody can find the connection. Since the stories publishing concerns about dead-emissing U.S. scientists have only picked up steam with the count now up to as many as 11 scientists. The story graduated from dark corners of the internet to outlets with large followings as the Daily Mail, the New York Post and Fox News. Joe Rogan recently found the flames on his massively popular podcast.
All of the media attention has just to produce any hard evidence of a connection between the disappearances and deaths. But it has drawn the attention of the White House and Congressional Republicans. Well, it got the attention of the White House because the reporter asked, "What's her name last week?" I got my own black county name, the White House spokesperson. We both get my Black at the same time.
Yeah. Last week, and so she goes, "Oh, I don't, you've heard about it, but we'll look into it." House oversight committee Chairman James Comer appeared on Fox News on Sunday and warned that something sinister could be happening.
“My God, the Republicans are desperate for any damn thing right now, aren't they?”
Well, in the case of one of the scientists, this is Michael David Hicks, died July 30, 23, worked at NASA at the JPL.
He passed away at 59, his cause of death was never made public, sometimes it's not.
No. It's not all the time, you see it constantly.
Comer said he first saw the situation as some kind of crazy conspiracy theory.
But about learning more of the details behind the cases has changed his mind.
What has? Give us what's changed your mind on it. Why won't they?
“On Monday, Comer teamed up with Congressman Bershett to send letters to the FBI department of energy, NASA, and the defense department?”
And it's okay to investigate these things, but the fact is how these things start is a conspiracy. There is jump on it, pound it, and then you're almost forced to say, well, we've got to look and see what's behind this, even if there is no evidence of any connection at all. Let me see here Fox News reported that the scientists who are tied to US secrets have died or vanished, and further described the dead and missing researchers as mainly tied to the US nuclear and space research programs,
while there are details in some of the cases that may be enough to give a skeptic pause, several of the 11 scientists actually have no ties at all to nuclear or space research or to each other. Were you earlier begging reference to the current White House press secretary Caroline Lebid or the colonel? I'm sorry Caroline Lebid. I did the same.
I remember a few months ago. I said Kaylee McAddenett. Yeah. Yeah, Kaylee. That's right.
The one employee, the chemical, the pharmaceutical employee was working on using chemistry and biology to discover and produce new medicines, including potential treatments for cancer. That's it. They're trying to get rid of him because he has a cure for cancer. The low-linked theorists have made the other deaths and disappearances is that this man had active contract with the department of the defense.
Thomas disappeared on December 12, 2025. His remains were discovered in Massachusetts. Local police said the cause of deaths still needs to be determined. No foul play is suspected. His remains were discovered on March 17.
The most recent name to be added is a list of Amy. Eskridge and Alabama based researcher who died by suicide in 2022. It is Richard Henania reports for unheard.
“Nearly everything about Eskridge background raises red flags about any narrative that might include her in the list of important scientists.”
She co-founded the Institute for exotic science, where she claimed to be working with gravity modification research, which as Henania points it, is not recognized as a branch of science. Furthermore, Eskridge apparently believed that she was facing harassment from shadowy figures, who had fired a direct energy weapon at her according to the report,
which also relayed that Eskridge had apparently never published a peer-reviewed paper in her life.
Yet Fox News portrayed Eskridge among other esteemed scientists and has treated her gravity modification research as a real topic of study. This outlet for sure, however, to note that there is no publicly available evidence leaking, linking her death to any of the other cases authorities have not indicated any connection between her work and the circumstances of her death. Also, cause for skepticism is the fact that the cases span at least four years and several states, as Henania notes are some two million researchers research scientists in the United States,
and some are bound to fall victim to unfortunate events. The researchers also mostly worked in different fields, held different positions, had no connections to each other, and lived in different parts of the country. Well, there you go. But it's this society we live in.
I'm going to jump on a conspiracy theory because it means I know something that you don't. Even if you don't.
“Yeah, it's, you can develop, you can create a pattern in a number of things, right?”
Uh, we once joked about, uh, I think this is back in, um, 2017. I think it was, and we joked. A new poll shows that a new poll of newborns shows that Trump is the best president of their lifetime. Because he was the only one. You know, it's, so the, the question is, now show the correlation.
They're part of, as you mentioned, they're part of a group that is two million people.
Yeah.
I bet you could find more than 11. I'm sure you passed. Probably could find 200.
Yeah, probably a thousand out of two million in a period of four years, probably you've died.
Yeah, yeah, safe to say. Well, look, you and I don't, would Jade held 15. Yeah, Jade, Jade held 15, yeah. Remember how stupid that was? And we sat here with people calling us going, you guys are hiding it.
Hiding it. Look, the, remember the chamber of commerce in those towns.
The chamber of commerce in those towns where the Jade home conspiracy was going on actually did what the economic benefits were going to be from the counties.
Right. For the counties from you had, you know, special forces and stuff using private land to mirror foreign countries to do exercises on.
“Right. But you should have seen the, the local, this is several years ago when they were actually filming parts of Top Gun 2 in South Lake Tahoe.”
And you talk about the liberals in California and it looks like military vehicles are moving in because there's one scene, if you've seen the movie, where Tom Cruise and one of the other pilots has to steal a Russian plane. Was it a Russian plane? I think it was a Russian plane. From this old dilapidated airport, that's actually the Lake Tahoe airport that was going through renovations. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So there's, most people fly into the Reno airport, but if you're in the no or you have the money, you fly into Lake Tahoe airport, it's a smaller airport.
Anyway, so all this stuff was, you know, being brought in and they couldn't, what's going on? What is all of this military activity? And of course, the conspiracies were going around for a while until it was shown that no Tom Cruise, this is how you settle liberals. A celebrity's in town filming a movie and then they get all happy about it. They're all impressed about it, but you can form, I don't know how many different patterns or conspiracies based on statistics where there really isn't a correlation certainly not a causation.
What was the one, remember the train load of military equipment with the millions of body bags for American citizens? Yeah, we're going to be putting it on some tracing camps.
“Well, yeah, has that in, was that in the Minnesota or Michigan or something or wasn't it?”
Am I confusing the second red dawn for that? Oh, wasn't I think Jesse Ventura was a part of that actually. I think on his show conspiracy theory, I think there was. Why are they having why are they moving all these body bags? These doesn't make sense. They're preparing for something huge. And you know, it was, I think he dealt with that.
I don't know if it was the body bags or that there was another thing that had some kind of container storage thing. And growing up as a military brat as an air force brat.
I mean, you see this kind of movement in those military towns all the time that activity is always going on.
But then again, you go into a situation like this with these 11 scientists. That was the FEMA camp.
“Yes, yeah, yes, yes, that's what it was.”
I think that was separate. It's basically their venture works to prove the existence of some. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, FEMA concentration camps to be used as part of the US government plot to round up and imprison millions of Americans. Why do they need bar wire on their fence so that unnamed elites can establish a dictatorship. Yeah. This is why I moved to Mexico in the Bahra. I moved to the Bahra off grid off grid.
Yeah, he's always on TV. Okay. Okay. I'm old enough to remember the excitement when he ran for Governor of Minnesota. Yeah. Oh, my gosh, through the roof.
We are run, I radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carly, it's Red Eye Radio. He is here. Crowley, and I'm Gary McNamara. We are Red Eye Radio.
Then things like when the NHL playoffs have begun.
Yeah, and Buffalo played Boston the other day.
Yeah, yeah.
“And on social media, I don't know if you saw it yesterday, but just people, what's going on in Buffalo?”
Why are they singing the Canadian National Anthem? What's going on? Yeah. And a lot of it was started by David Portner, who's a Bruins fan. Right.
And then a writer from the Boston Globe. What's going on? How come they're singing the Canadian National Anthem?
They've always done that.
Yeah. They've done that at Saber's Games. Yeah. They've done that at Bill's Games. They did it when they had the NBA team.
Yeah. Well, at least half a century. Yeah.
60, 70, 80 years they've been doing it.
Yeah. Because they're right in the board. Right. And thousands of fans come from Canada to watch those events. Yeah, you talked about that, yeah.
