06-16-26 Part One - The Art of Iran's Deal

Right, I think my story is totally different.

Steuja, how do you feel? The Steuja is really cool. Yeah, I've been to Euro for a long time. Do you have any connections? No, just like Steuja. Wow, and that's easy.

Of course, the macht fast, all is automatisch. Absolutely, I feel like I'm so exciting. Hold your money, Tyffin and Span, with like Steuja. Now, it's Renai 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 Renai Radio. All the cross of America, we are Renai Radio. He is there.

Gary McNamara, welcome, and good morning. Hello. Well, look, I'm just, I'm one happy guy. Are you? Yeah, because it's all about me.

It's all about me, gas price on the way in, 308, and my 401(k) skyrocketed to the roof, so it's just all in my self interest, nothing else matters, so I'm happy.

“I paid 409, and I thought, what's going on with this gas station?”

Don't they know what's going on? Don't they? Are they not reading the news? As if that's how it works. The gas station owner goes in, reads the news, "Oh, I guess I need to drop gas prices."

I paid 409, and then I looked at it, it was contained zero ethanol. Oh, you paid 409. Okay, 409. Oh, I thought you used to. It's real nine.

No, no, 409. Okay. Yeah. And I was like, okay. All right.

I mean, I don't deliberately go looking for no ethanol gasoline, but it's what they had, and my truck was saying, dude, we're not going to go much further. I think I don't know. I don't know. Like 40 miles.

I don't know how I missed it. I just wasn't paying attention. A lot of traveling over the last month or two, and I thought, okay, zero ethanol gas. I'm willing to pay extra for that. I really didn't have a choice.

I could sit there and let my truck, I don't tell it died, but yeah, I've been paying it locally, I paid $2.99 the other day, but I had a 10 cent discount. So the normal price was 309, and I paid $2.99. That was a good deal.

“I had, I think I saved $2.50 or something like that, and I was like, I was freaking out”

about it. Of course, I drove nine hours to get the discount, but that's not the point. All right, so this is about 10 minutes for the show, and you know, just thinking, okay, what do I start with? And Bond and audio cut that made it so I don't have to do any work.

Yeah. What do I think of the entire situation? So what did you choose?

Megan McCain's husband, okay, Ben Dominic basically has our opinion on all of this, and

I'll say are because I'm very familiar with your opinion on everything that has been done here and Trump on foreign policy in general, he was on Fox yesterday, here it is, all right. And I think you'll sit there and go, yeah, I agree, here we go. Now it's the full context, about a minute and 15 seconds on. Okay, so here we go.

Now this president has been, I think he's been the best foreign policy president of my lifetime. I think that he's been incredibly bold, he has used American power to restore our sovereignty to protect our interests and to look out for the American people.

“And I think it was a gutsy call for him to go into Iran when he did, he didn't have to do”

it, but he did it. He thought it was the right time, and I still think that that was the right decision. This deal and everything that we know about it, to the degree that it is being spun in public behind the scenes by the administration, everything about this deal seems bad to me.

It all seems bad. It all seems like a setback. It doesn't seem like it meets any of the measures that the president actually put out there of his goals when it came to this conflict. And look, at some point, this Republican party needs to decide which kind of foreign policy

it's going to have.

Is it going to be an American first foreign policy when that is bold that uses American

power and clean moments decisively in order to affect what it wants to achieve? Or we can just backslide into being some kind of hillbilly Obama kind of GOP. That is not something that is acceptable to me. It should not be acceptable to Republicans, and it should not be acceptable to any conservative

Yeah, I mean, I think we line that out on last night's show. I don't see anything positive here, it's the spinning already is becoming weird. Can I ask you this? Yeah.

“When he said hillbilly Obama, was that a shot at JD Vance?”

Well, if JD Vance writes a book and then they make a movie, I mean if Obama writes a book and then they make a movie on it, it's weird because you want to kind of make a similar comment in the pre-show meeting. And for him to say that, I don't know where hillbilly came in, but maybe it was. That's a first thing I thought, and I don't know if it was before or after JD Vance said

this yesterday. And this is where again, you look at how they're spinning this and you're

like stop, here's what he, here's the quote, JD Vance quote, we are hearing from both

Iranian hardliners and political leaders at the past 47 years of hostility with the United States have been a mistake and that it's time to turn a new page end of quote. This is where you might want to consider writing a second book, hillbilly, political eulogy because if you believe that, then we need to have a conversation and if you don't believe it and you think other people will believe that about the regime, then we also

need to have a conversation. And by the end, and I noticed the, because you get into the minutia of it, the president and JD Vance yesterday saying, and then people are saying the U.S. is going to give them 300 billion. I don't know anybody who thought who has said that have looked at what they've been promoting

in this agreement, that has said that this is the investment would be the potential investment

of Middle East countries, whatever and whether it's 12 billion or 25 billion that they're

talking about Iran was saying at one point, I think, 300 billion.

“No, no, but it's not U.S. taxpayer dollars, that's what they're trying to make.”

This is, it's that that would be that would be investment that would be done, you know, by the Middle East and whatever, nobody has talked about taxpayer dollars and the 12 billion or 25 billion would be releasing assets that, you know, the sanctions have stopped, you know, from going to Iran, because they've been funding their proxies with that oil money, which has been attacking U.S. interest for the longest time.

And so when you pay attention to what they're saying, they're really not arguing with the critics are arguing, right? The critics aren't arguing that it's U.S. taxpayer dollars. So I got to go back and find it. I think it was Jason Chafe that said it, I was listening to it on the radio on the five

on Fox News.

“First of all, saying he'd been briefed on it, and I thought to myself, well, it sounds”

like Lindsey Graham hasn't been briefed on it. Why would you be briefed on it? But he said he had been briefed on it, and all these things were going to happen, and sanctions wouldn't be lifted without these conditions and everything else. And I thought, well, I guess we'll find out when we read the text.

By the way, he also said that we would be getting their uranium. And the U.S. is the only country really equipped to get the uranium.

I don't buy it for a second.

It may be in the deal. It may be in the language. But I don't buy it for a second that that's actually going to happen. And Iran's going to let us get away with it. I could be wrong.

If we do get it, which, by the way, is going to be a massive effort given where it is, buried under rubble. Again, we're the only country that's fully capable of actually going in and getting it. And if that's the case, that will be a very interesting set of events. I don't believe it because I don't believe Iran.

I don't trust Iran. You know, if this is Iran on its knees, and I, a total of juniors on his last breath, and the IRGC is almost ready to give up, but first of all, I don't know that any of this

I think it's what you said.

“I think they look at this and say, we're going to die one way or the other.”

So we're going to go down fighting. But if that's, you know, if that's the case, and they're looking at giving up or we come in and take them out, I just, again, I'm making, this is all unicorn territory. I don't expect that to be in the language. Content agencies I do show me those contingencies and, and if there are so many contingencies,

the way it was lined out by, again, I think it was Jason Chafis, let's set it. I wasn't watching it on TV, I was listening to it on the radio. If there are so many contingencies, then is it really a deal? It's not a deal until each of those contingencies is met. Oh, yeah.

And as we mentioned yesterday, part of the problem is, you know, because you're seeing some

of the influence was come on say, well, you really don't know what's it. Look, we're going by what the administration has said and what the possibilities are. And I think every single Republican conservative outlet has said release it. And as most people have said, if Trump believes that he has a slam dunk, he is the first one out there promoting it 24/7.

Yep. And this is the deal. Here it is. Here's what we're going to do. This is what locks them in or whatever.

“And I have created the greatest peace deal in the history of all peace deals.”

We know how Trump, we know how he reacts to these particular things. There's a lot of Republicans yesterday saying, wow, he's getting out of the country very quickly here. And he's letting JD fans do it. Then the stories are out there.

And they're not denying it that Radcliffe against the deal, rubio against the deal, and who else? I'm going to say, maybe somebody else. There was rubio. Who do we mention the other day, rubio?

Oh, and hegset. And hegset. Yes. You know, all against the deal and Radcliffe saying, look, the fact that they're saying they don't want to have nuclear weapons, they're lying to you, Mr. President.

Yeah. Right. They don't mean it. And then so much of this is the president back and forth. One day saying, you know, one day saying, you know, they really don't want.

They really want to work with us. Both parties want a deal to work this out to get rid of the nuclear weapons.

And the next day, we're being, you know, basically said, we're, it should have been

I'm being played for a sucker. Yeah. Because we're is he, he's the only one. Right. So he's saying I'm being played for a sucker.

And the next day, the exact next day, well, we really believe that the Iranians want a deal. You'll look like an idiot. I'm sorry. You can give them a loyal Trump fan out there.

This is completely totally unacceptable statements, contradicting themselves from the president. Now, I'll say this. You may have the majority of America was against this. His poll numbers might go up with gasoline prices going down.

Good. To us, this is not about poll numbers.

And I was kidding when I started the show by basically saying, well, I'm doing fine.

Gasoline prices went down.

“My 401(k) was booming yesterday as if that's how I'm going to judge it, you know, by”

monetary things. And I'm not. I look at this the same way I look at 9/11. The same way I look at radical Islam and Andrew McCarthy yesterday. Either the president doesn't grasp or can't be bothered to address the regime's ideology,

a core principle of Sharia supremacism, including Iran's Shiite version, is that line to the enemy is a key part of the warfare. War is deception is what they believe. This, for example, is why even as the overwhelming evidence shows, it was advancing its nuclear weapon program, the regime insisted that it's leader, then I'll depart at Iatola, had issued

a Sharia law edict against nuclear weapons. This would have been hilarious had not the Obama administration adopted it as part of its rationalization for their joint comprehensive plan of action. Right. It is a longstanding position of American administrations, of both parties, to pretend that the

Iranians negotiate in good faith and are serious about it. The Trump administration is no different.

directly with the regime. We are evidently to celebrate that they now lie to our faces rather than through intermediaries while that's progress. Since the administration is trying to dizzy us with the spin about the MOU instead of just showing us that's the memory of understanding instead of us just showing it, it's more

important to understand this is not an agreement. The MOU is an agreement to talk about the eventual agreement and talk and talk and talk as the Iranians have mastered doing rather than making binding commitments on matters vital to American interests.

“The only thing that seems clear is that the world's leading state sponsor of anti-American”

terrorism is going to get lots of money. We might even analyze it to the pallets of cash for nothing more than opening the straight of Hormuz, which Iran had not closed until Trump decided to launch a war. He had no intention of fighting to victory and to wave off advisors who warned him that Iran could close the straight.

The figure under discussion is 24 billion up front.

We've also heard of 12. But then before we get to the astronomical sums down the line on this score, this is what we talked about earlier. The Washington Free Beacons Adam Cradle reports the Trump White House emphasis that Iran is merely getting its own money back, not American taxpayer funds, how stupid do

they think we are? Iran's funds are frozen based on sanctions imposed in part due to its terrorist support. In addition to its nuclear weapons work, its ballistic missile work, its human rights abuses and targeting U.S. military and civilian vessels on the high sea. If the U.S. could keep funds from Iran, but is now instead allowing funds to be paid to

Iran, that is material support to a state sponsor of terrorism, which Iranian regime has been since the early 80s under a formal state department designation.

That basically says it all.

And when you get to the point of the minutia, they can't back it up.

“And that's why you have JD Vance going on things like Megan Kelly.”

Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's this whole thing is, I mean, it reeks of Fubar. And part of the frustrating part of it is when Ben Dominoch talked about the fact

of because we did how much we have respected Trump's foreign policy. And it's like, this is a different person. No, it is. You know, it's as if Obama's in the Oval Office advising him and Biden. And then talking about the fact that we can be economic partners and whatever, right after

he said, boy, they're playing me for a sucker. And then you put out statements that backed up your earlier statement that you're being played for a sucker, right, and you're going to sign it or JD Vance is no, they've already signed it. Yeah.

Yeah, electronically. Yeah. Yeah. We are right. I radio brought to you by hot shot secret.

Hi, I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller.

“In order to manage speed, you need to understand the four factors involved in stopping”

a vehicle perception distance is the distance of vehicle travels from the time you see a hazard until you're brain recognizes it. The perception time for an alert driver is approximately three-fourths of a second. Reaction distance is the distance of vehicle travels from the time your brain tells your foot to move from the accelerator until your foot hits the brake pedal.

The average driver has a reaction time of three-fourths of a second. Break leg distance also needs to be taken into account. When operating a vehicle with air brakes, it takes about half a second for the mechanical operation to take place. Finally, breaking distance is the distance it takes a vehicle to stop once the brakes

are applied. This distance is affected by the weight, length, and speed of the vehicle, as well as road condition. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates, visit us at JJ Keller.com. We'll be right back with more Red Eye Radio with every currently and Gary McNamara.

We are when I read you with these air crumbly and I'm Gary McNamara. I'm amazed over the last 36 hours. Now a few posts he put out, the president put out on his resoucial about the deal. He's not out there bragging about it on his resoucial.

The only thing is he brought up the, we're not paying them 300 billion, nobody said

they were. Right. Nobody said we were paying them. That wasn't the point.

“And he is Eric Carly, and I'm hearing McNamara. Welcome and good morning.”

Thank you for being here. Hillbilly Eric is over there eating his beef jerky. So I love beef jerky, man. I got two bags of it, too. I'm sitting here and I'm like, what's that smell?

I mean, you know, it was like a smell from my youth, because I haven't had beef jerky in the longest time, and I'm like, what are you eating over there? Oh, man, I had brisket for lunch. And I ate so much brisket.

I mean, I consumed a significant part of a cow, and it was great. And I thought, I'm going to continue that. My heart doctor is probably not listening right now. Let me rephrase that. I really hope my heart doctor is not listening right now.

Dr. Stone, if you're out there, I was just kidding. It's a little carb right, and it's in people jerky. Well, the brisket may not be. Yeah, but it's the brisket's high in fat. I mean, it's, and that's a good fat.

I need a little fat. I mean, I can go for a little bit. I, you know, there's one barbecue place we go to where my wife when she gets a chop sandwich, she doesn't like it very fatty. And most places, you can tell them, hey, I don't want to be very fatty.

Or I want it pretty fatty. And man, they will, they will, they, there's what this one place that will load it up. I love the fat. And so one time, they said, fatty sandwich. I thought they were calling me fatty sandwich.

Oh, oh, they mean my meal's ready. OK, so yeah, I'm loving the beef these days. It's not cheap, but man, it's good. All right, so getting back to the aran thing, you know, we had said last week. We said, here are the possibilities where the president would go.

And where the president is going is what we thought was the number one way he would go. Yeah, right, we figured that he would back off on it. And was this here, was this material, you know, editorial board wall street journal. Trump's willingness to use military force when no one else would has set back aran's nuclear program military and industrial base.

The result is not Obama deal 2.0 because unlike 2015,

“Iran's key nuclear facilities are in rubble.”

And it's enrichment of uranium has been halted for the first time in 20 years. The media critics and Democrats who now savage the president would have stood by while the nuclear bomb became exactly the way it came to be just like it did in North Korea. But there's no denying that Mr. Trump is retreating from his main goals as political pressure is built at home and finishing the job requires greater military risk.

Despite Israel's urging, he never authorized a mission to seize Iran's enriched uranium.

He never tried to reopen the straight-up or moves by force. Those who say, Mr. Trump had no alternative to this retreat. Ignore the U.S. blockade was squeezing Iran more by the day while Iran's blockade was leaking. Mr. Trump simply didn't want to endure higher oil prices for longer. This is his choice, not a strategic imperative.

The new deal extends the ceasefire for another 60 days. Though our guesses will be renewed perhaps many times the U.S. blockade will end as Iran reminds the straight on a timetable so traffic can be unrestricted.

But Iran says, "Hormuz will not return to the status quo and it claims it will charge a fee not

“toll, worse John Roberts here. It will charge a fees not tolls."”

But is it attacks? As if that's more than a sometic difference and the administration, you know, that was the thing too. You had, well, eventually we're going to get to tolls and the president came out again and said, came out and said, "No, there will be no tolls." Well, yeah, because it's fees not tolls.

Don't play Democrat games for God's sakes. The full memorandum of understanding text has not been released and Mr. Trump says, some of it is a little conceptual, which is the problem. It would defer most matters on the nuclear program to 60 days, more 60 days more of talks, with oil and other sanctions relief along the way, and exchange for diplomatic progress.

This linkage is crucial, but pushing off the most difficult nuclear issues in talks

with dishonorable people who don't deal in good faith as the president called them on Friday does not inspire confidence. If the regime will not agree to dismantle its nuclear program now,

“why would it do so after weeks of oil exports money coming in and other relief?”

A strong nuclear deal is not hard to define zero uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing no stockpile of enriched uranium, all-revalent nuclear facilities, centrifuges, and manufacturing sites dismantled complete disclosure and unrestricted inspections. That's it. Any Iran statement that it doesn't seek the bomb is meaningless.

So Mr. President, please stop saying that. And Mr. Vice President, please stop saying that. Especially after you admitted you're being played for suckers, you said it. We're judging you by the statements, we're judging this administration by the statements that they have made that contradict themselves day in and day out on this.

“Well, here's the thing. Essentially, if you read through the garbage of this whole thing,”

this is an understanding to continue the talks. Yeah, by their own definition of what they're saying, the plan is to keep the current force posture during the 60-day negotiations. A senior U.S. official told reporters on a call on Monday. This is from FoxNews.com. We hope to draw them down, but we're not doing that yet. The key part of that is the 60-day negotiations because it's being presented

as if it's a deal. It's not a deal, which is why they have to call it a memorandum of understanding. And the problem I have with that name memorandum of understanding or MOU, which sounds like a really horrible university. It sounds like where you go to study to be one of the three

students. MOU, MOU, MOU, MOU. I oughta, this is what I oughta 101. The problem is, is that it doesn't change

anything. It only continues the talks for 60 days. And Israel's come out and said, "We're going to continue to defend ourselves. We have to. We're here. We're here in the Middle East, and we cannot sit here and not defend ourselves." Because, you know, there was the media, really making the obvious observation. And I heard it from different media groups, Fox News, CNN, MS, used to be or whatever they're called.

And they all put out basically the same thing. You know, and it's, again, just a memorandum of understanding a 60-day period where nothing is really going to change.

Israel could, you know, throw a wrench into this whole thing, by defending them. You know,

“I'm praising the defending themselves. They said, by attacking, if they're attacked,”

they have to defend themselves. There's no way around that. And they're going to do that. Netanyahu said it. I haven't seen the deal. I don't know if anybody's seen, here's my question, has Trump seen the deal? Well, you know, part of the thing that you saw yesterday were, uh, some Trump supporters talking about the fact, well, they haven't released a deal. So we need to be quiet on it. Everything that we're judging the administration by are the things that they have said

that does not instill confidence. Right. You know, I haven't seen the text. Neither have you. Right. But they have promoted it. And they're out actively promoting it. And we're basing our opinion based on what JD Vance and the president are actually saying. Right. And the things that they're saying

“don't make any sense. Well, if they did an e-sign on over the weekend, then it tells me that”

all parties have agreed to certain things. Tell us what those are. Exactly. Tell us what it is. That's not, you know, and just sit there and say, well, you shouldn't, you shouldn't judge it because the text isn't out there. We can certainly judge the president by what he says every day when he contradicts himself and JD Vance when he comes out with acidine statements like every single war has been an negotiation, including World War II. That was unconditional surrender. Right.

When you make statements like that and when you make statements, you know, that show we believe exactly what this regime is saying. You know, they told us they don't want, they believe the last 47 years was a mistake. And when you understand Sharia supremacism as we do, you look like idiots and you admit you've been playing the administration Trump admitted he was being played for a sucker. Yeah. And then his administration puts out statements that back up the

fact that we're being played for suckers again and we're buying it. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can't

“defend the things that JD Vance has said. And then the only thing that they did was they go after,”

you know, the minutiae of like, and then we hear $300 billion US taxpayer dollars aren't going.

We didn't say US payer tax. Nobody has made that argument. No. You're putting out a straw man out there. It's the investment. It's the possibility of massive investment when that whatever that number would be. It's the fact of the imagery. Electronics sign the deal. That's enough. You don't need to sit with members that are represent the Iranian, the Iranian guard, revolutionary guard, and stand and shake hands with them. You look like again, like you're a sucker that you admitted you are. Yeah. And that they're

in control. Right. And so yeah, when we see that when we see the deal, we'll comment on that. We're commenting on and they're criticizing people for saying, well, so this is in the deal. Because this was sources say, that's, you know, well, no, that's not in the deal. We didn't say that. We said the investment. We know that the sanctions are being, you know, if the sanctions come off, they get their money back. That's been the whole point. We know it's not US taxpayer dollars.

Why are you saying that? Why are you putting that straw man out there? Well, how are you promoting that? It's a good thing. It's already been esigned, but you're not letting anybody see it. If it's a good thing, promote the daylights out of it and put it out everywhere. You would have

put it out over the weekend after it was esigned. You put it out to the media. Here's what's in the

deal, because you know what's going to be shredded. We are right. I radio coming off more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carley. It's Red Eye Radio. We are in the radio. He's our Colleen. I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome in. Good morning. Thanks so much for being here this morning. Yes. So just to the administration, please, please stop it. I mean, you're sending JD events out there. He's doing

the circuit. You know, going to be talking about the deal and everything else. And then when people have questions and you start putting out things and people start saying, okay, let's analyze what you've said here to come back and say, then, wait a minute, the text isn't out there. Well, then

you release the text. Don't play that game. If it's already signed, why can't we see it? Yeah.

What are you hiding? It's been signed. The deal. Because you're not going to change the text of it. Are you going to, are you going to omit some of it? When you release it, are you going to release it in batches? I mean, this is beyond bad in how it's being handled. There should have been a text posted on social media by the president after it was signed. Boom, here it is. Also at Whitehouse.gov. Boom,

“here it is. Why not ask yourself why it wouldn't be? Why wouldn't that be the case?”

They're promoting, I don't know how many elements of it. Let's see it in its own words.

Let's see what you sign. By the way, did you see where the president said yesterday that

I had no intention of ever having regime change. People are like stop it. Well, because, you know, the other, also the other day was last week. You know, the regime that Obama was dealing with, those were bad people, but this is the best regime I've seen yet. And I'm thinking, are you kidding me? Yeah, I know. Are you kidding me? But right after he said, we're, I'm being played for a second. I know. But the Iranians, it's just all over the place, I know.

Here we go. Here we go. All right. Here we go. This is the big controversy from yesterday. Are you ready? Okay. All right.

“Now, here's the thing and because I didn't see any of it, I could, I could care less, you know,”

whatever. I'm, I'm not like the, the left. I mean, the left attempting to define what the culture, the White House should be, which of course is ridiculous. We're going to back to the 19th century. Like when, when Teddy Roosevelt had boxing in the White House, this is modern society. What we need is like Biden had topless people walking around. Yeah. And then, and then Hillary Clinton.

your husband and that one. What he didn't know about. But here's the question that I have because

we're, we're trying, we're always trying to figure out the rules of the left. If you can't

define a woman, it means you can't define a man. So if you alleged that somebody is a man or a

“woman and you're on the left, why do you find that insulting if you can't define what the insult is?”

Because you can't define the term. Right. What are you angry about? Yes. Are you angry? Because Michelle Obama has not come out and said, I am a woman. And therefore, you cannot judge her gender/sexuality. Right. We're just, we're trying to figure out the rules. But

the fact that the ring was sponsored by Bud Light. What the hell's going on there? Yeah.

Now that controversy thing is over. Well, and then I would have to ask the question about the, the fighters. Josh, I mean, with Bud Light surrounding him as he's saying Michelle Obama is a man.

“Is, is, is that an approval thing? Is it a disapproval because of Bud Light? Yeah.”

And their previous support. Even Kid Rock is back to drinking Bud Light. He said he dropped it like real quick. He said it was because it was a joke in the moment. And for me, that was over. And it's, you know, it's the beer I drink. Like so I'm, I'm thinking that that was an indication that the White House now supports a radical transgender movement. Right. They're an agreement with Democrats. So why would they be upset? I don't, I don't think there's a reason to

be upset. So we're just trying to figure out the rules. Yeah. If you can't define a woman, we can't just ask questions. Right. You can't define a man. Yeah. All right. So if you can't define the term, why is saying Michelle Obama is a man and insult? Right. Yeah. We, what do you have said about exactly? Explain the rules to us. Yeah. What do you have said about exactly? Yes. Exactly. What, what is the part that makes it an insult? Right. You know, it's, this is the

conundrum they create. This is, is on them. They're rule of changes every day. We're just asking what today's rules are. This is what we, this is the difference between us and Scott

Pelly. We are always mega curious. Right. We're trying to understand the left. We're not in

awe or impressed by Andrew McCabe and his ability to carefully phrase what he was saying to me. I'm like, dude, you're a dork. What is, are you kidding me? For that former top official from the FBI is is carefully phrasing what he says. I was very impressed by his, yeah. That's also the skills of a very good liar. I almost believed Eric did play with Arrowsmith. He said it so confidently. Now, I, I do remember. Now, maybe there is some justification, but I'm going back to early 1960s

mentality. Okay. I can't go there because I wasn't born yet when I remember the neighbor across the street and my brother. Yeah. We're teasing me by saying Gary with the cute little dimples and the curly

“cue in your hair and called me a femme. Remember that when that was an insult? You're a femme.”

I'm not a woman. You're a femme. You know, I, it was, I guess that insult was gone by the time. Yeah. It was, it was big when I, in the, in the 60s. Yeah. That was okay. And I will, I can still remember. Right. You know, and it wasn't even the thin that bothered me so much. It was my brother and Dave from across the street. Well, he would just be dying laughing at Dave Robinson, Dave in years. He'd been dying laughing. Gary with the cute little dimples and the

I couldn't hit the ball with a stick on the golf course. Then you cried and your mascara ran and

no, not a thing. No, I, I can, I can't, I can't remember. I, I, I, I must have been I probably out of seven or eight and, and I ran back in the house and my mother got me some ginger rail and I laid down on her lap and we watched TV. Yeah. Very, a very feminine action by me. I was just, I was just saying we were watching soap, I was, was mom watching her stories. No, you know, it was on that night.

“Billy Graham. I remember that. I remember that Billy Graham was on. Oh, there you go. That's,”

yeah, that's legitimate, right there. Yeah, all right. But yeah, there's, so, you know, maybe,

maybe the outrage is justified, but so where you are religious femme? What, what, how did that? That worked out. Faithful Femes. That's the name, that's not the name of my next band, but that's the name of a, some band. There, there was a band that the violent Femes. The violent Femes, there was a band called the Femes that that used to play at the, the, the, as I call it, the CBGBs of Buffalo, which is the Continental way back then. The faithful Femes. The faithful Femes.

Have a bunch of candles on stage and the whole thing. Yeah, yeah. You know, I don't know how to end this. I don't know. I don't know how to come, I don't know if there's a completion of this thought here.

“No, here's the thing, but don't we live in a world of incomplete thoughts and inconsistent thoughts?”

Yeah, yeah, we have a job now. It's, it's not just waiting through the garbage. It's waiting through the garbage from everybody. It's from everybody. And I'm thinking of myself, you know,

because I've always wanted, I've been one of these people that I don't trust anyone fully. I asked

my mom for picture ID every time, but it's, you got to trust, but they're fine. That's what I was told. And so it's still, it's, it's getting so bizarre that I trust nothing. You know, I mean, again, if what was said on the five yesterday,

“it's true, and I believe it was Jason Chavez. Again, I wasn't watching TV. I was listening to it”

on the radio saying, well, this is, you know, I've been breathing. This is what's going to happen. And part of that is, we're going to get the uranium. And I've said two things have to happen. regime has to be gone. Uranium has to be ours. Full stop. Done. I mean, no other exceptions. No exceptions to those items. And if that's the case, you know, I said to you during the break, look, if it turns out we get full possession of the uranium, that will be a big plus.

I won't say that will be a win. It will be a win in their efforts to one day get a nuclear weapon. No doubt. And I think we've had a couple of wins along the way already to delay that effort. Well, it still leaves this, you know, big, what's this investment that's going to come about for a ran, which, again, the money will be controlled by the regime, which there is no doubt, no doubt, they'll use to fund their proxies. And I, again, I can't see a deal that's going to be acceptable

that leaves the regime in place. And I don't see the regime standing down. What I see is a deal here that is in Dave by their own admissions gives us 60 days to talk. You've been talking for longer than that already. Why do you need a memorandum to continue talking to lower gas prices? Is it if a ran decides to go back to work doing what they do and Israel has to defend themselves? I mean, that's the whole point. I don't see anything binding here because nobody trusts a ran.

Well, but the point is if Israel attacks will the United States or the United States just not

I mean, I think, you must defend their own assets in that region. Well, as we said last week, that was what the president is doing was what we believe would be the top option politically for him, that he would back off and take the hit. And you're going to split

“the base on it. But overall, remember, the majority of the country, it was like 65, 35,”

against being in this war to begin with. So politically, it could be as we talked about last week, it could be advantageous for him and if gas prices come down, now the other thing, though, he's going hog wild now on new tariffs. So whether you're going to see a reduction in just gas prices and other things, you know, who knows? But I'd tell you this. I mean, when you look at one of the things that we talked about and I remember you were really, really on it was in the

second term we were afraid. And part of it was, uh, uh, which is Ivanka's influence on him back

in the first time, liberal domestic issue on liberal domestic issues and our concern was always that

that Trump would go back to a lot of his liberal roots. Right. And when you look for example about how he wants equity in companies, which is completely unacceptable, right, completely unacceptable. When you look at the labor deal that I hope gets destroyed in the Senate, but the House passed, the Trump is ready to sign that will basically make it so the union has the advantage in any, any new company that has a union, we'll have to go to Biden in arbitration within 120 days that they can't

come to a contract, which means if they say our healthcare, you know, should contain abortion that the company would be forced even if they were against abortion to agree to that. But it takes the work or out of the deal, you know, and, you know, this is a kind of, you know, there's a lot of the Josh Hawley liberalism, you know, populist liberalism in the public and

“party. Now, you know, the president, remember, the president was also talking about, you know,”

credit card, uh, you know, uh, interest rates to 10% like Josh Hawley's doing. You see a lot of liberalism now leaking into the president's second term. And that was our fear. We had expressed it, you know,

even after voting for him, you know, for a second term, we always thought that would be our fear.

Yeah. And in a lot of cases with a lot of what they're doing, it's, you know, pure tariffs. The way he's doing the tariffs, he's not doing the tariffs selectively. The way he's doing the tariffs is the Bernie Sanders believe. Yeah. Right. It's Bernie Sanders. Well, Bernie Sanders in 2016 said, yeah, I agree with Mr. Trump on tariffs. Right. Exactly. And so, you know, that's, that's a concern that I've always had. And, you know, I'm not saying that this is part of the liberalism,

but the, the, the, because he's trying to lower gas prices and we figured he would, he would do this.

“Then you shouldn't have gone in in February. Right. You might have done the while you didn't think”

you could, right, you might have done the blockade first and all of that and wait till after the election

to do it, still do the blockade sanctions, whatever. But you went in and the goal was the audio cut was all over the president's saying. And when we finish the job, the Iranian people can take over their own country. That was the implication we're going for regime change. And by taking out really the first two to three levels of the government consistently over that period of time, you were going for regime change to now say that you weren't. Yeah. Right. That's, it's, it's

for dancing. Compliment the current regime. Right. It's not believable. It's, it's not. No. We are right. I radio this morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by house products tested, trusted guarantee since 1920 as observed during the recent roundtable on American agriculture in Wisconsin by Badger State meat processor and as should a football league Hall of Fame offensive live in Joe Thomas as a farm disabled beef producer. We see one of the biggest

bottlenecks in our country is the lack of small packing and processing plants. That is where increasing federal support for small and very small meat and poultry processing plants through the recently announced USDA small processors action plan comes in. Providing customer service and technical assistance to these plants when needed so that they can continue to operate in FSIS doesn't have any barriers to the, in meeting our food safety standards. Under Secretary for

Food Safety, Bindi Prashiers says the plan's focus points include approved USDA customer service and responsiveness to processor requests clear a language of requirements and easier navigation of USDA systems and reducing regulatory burdens. I'm Rod Bane reporting for the U.S. Department

[Music] We are when I read you. He's hard for me and I'm here in McNamara. Welcome in good morning. You know, it was interesting. I, you know, just the, the, the back and forth here. You know, between Republicans and supporters of Trump. I saw somebody call Mark Levin a rhino yesterday. So it's, wow. Only child. Really. It's getting that bad. Well, let's say what you

want about Mark. And by the way, he's a colleague of ours and in the past has been very complimentary of what of what we do. Right. Mark says what he believes. And we might reciprocate if he just gets to step together on the radio. Mark shaped it up, buddy.

No, he, Mark, Mark has always been consistent of what he believes. Yeah. Yeah, I think he posted

something the other day that I read, but when I saw it so many times. It's great. You're just a rhino.

“You just, you know, you've got, you've got, you've got, you've got T. E S. That's how bizarre it's getting”

right there. Yeah, Matt Levin has TDS. Okay. So, so I just, I got to get a kick out of that. I mean, yeah. But, but it's like, you know, like we said a long time ago when someone said, you know, you guys are rhinos. We go, absolutely. Well, number one, you know, I'm an independent and so are you. I vote in the state of Texas. I've only voted in Republican primaries. I still have

never voted for a Democrat. But if I was a Republican, absolutely, I'd be a rhino. I'm way more

conservative than where the Republican party is going. Yeah. You know, we've said that for the longest time. Yeah, because if you call me a Republican, I almost feel that's an insult these days. That's, out there you. , uh, is it a smart political, uh, narrative for the Democrats to be going after Elon Musk and trillionaires and billionaires and all that other neat stuff. Interesting story

from the elections last week that came out of San Francisco will have the details on what the voters refused to pass coming up in just a minute.

“250 years of freedom. That's what we're celebrating. Our founders believe that freedom was”

a way of life. The freedom to move forward. The freedom to pursue what matters most. The freedom to live fully, but a pain is taken away. Some of that mobility, you are not fully free. I found that out myself. You know, watching other people do things to me is really not great. I mean, I'm not the most athletic person, but I love to be involved in things that are going on and before taking relief factor, that was not the case. More and more, I was sitting on the sidelines because of my

aches and pains from aging from running for years. My lower back pain would keep me from doing things that I wanted or needed to do. And now I want you to try relief factor. They gave me some

“to try and I'm telling you the difference that's made in my life is incredible. So this year's”

we celebrate 250 years of freedom. They have a special patriotic price for the three week quick start just 1776, 17 dollars, 76 cents to get you started on a new life to get your freedom from pain. 1776, just call 800, the number four relief, 800, the number four relief or go to relieffactor.com. We spent some time talking about the whole Elon Musk thing because over the weekend to me, that was besides the MOU, the memorandum of understanding, that was really the biggest story.

And it was the Elon Musk thing and being a trillionaire and the left just going bonkers on social

media, how do we tax this, how do we tax this? And we never brought it up and I thought it was

as the overpaid CEO Act would have changed the basis for the city's existing top executive pay tax from the median pay of the business employees in San Francisco to all employees regardless of the location. They wanted to expand. They already have a tax that does tax to do it, but they wanted

to expand it and raise another 300 million, it was turned down. Like 53 and a half to 47 something.

“Yeah, whatever it was. Right. But that was that was turned down. And we remember in LA,”

there was a business tax or a corporate tax that they wanted to pass back in 2020. That went down to defeat. That was part of those propositions that we looked at and said, why are people on the left voting like conservatives, but voting for people that disagree with how they actually vote on the issues. Right. And we've talked about personalities. And if you've listened to the show long enough, we don't play the tribalism at all. We don't, we don't care. We don't care whether

you're, we don't care about the, we, well, we care about all people. But politically, we don't care.

We care about the issues because the people come and go. Yeah. We know how do we, well, I haven't come and gone yet, but I'll be going soon. Oh, wait. Oh, no. I wouldn't South quickly. I don't mean

“run. You know, find the defibrillator. No, I meant, I meant in life. Okay. We all, we all come and”

then we all go. Well, and, and so we, we care about, do we call a doctor? No, I'm fine. Okay. We, and, and I'm not quitting. I'm doing, I'm doing projects. My house is 20 years old, as I've telling you, there's a bunch of stuff I'm having done. I need to continue working. Oh, please, my house is born in 1968, and I do say born, because it's a living breathing. Oh, let me breathe you know, based on all the drafts in the house. Yeah, that's breathing for sure. But we've, we, we spent a

lot on that, and, and actually, in fact, yesterday asked the question, because to me, it's Eric, it's just fascinating to me. And, and I wish that liberals would actually be willing to explain why they think what they think. Yeah. Because a lot of times we have to guess, because when you try to talk, all you do is get screaming back and you're Hitler and you're this and you're that and you're this or you're, you know, whatever, whatever the label is. Right. And, and I'm, there's really a ton of curiosity

from both of us, and we asked the question yesterday, do they really believe that the amount of money is finite? Yeah. That they do, do they actually believe that? And so if they see that he's got a trillion dollars, that that's a trillion dollars at somebody else doesn't have. And I found it interesting that Mark Cuban who voted in campaign for Kamala was out there explaining how you become a billionaire and how you become a trillionaire, because other people invest their money in you, right, because

they wish to, they wish to be better off in life. And as he said, you know, when these things happen, you know, the IPOs or the, the, you know, they, they open up. People get the stock, well, they're simply, after the SpaceX will see, some people get the stock based on the imagery of it, but that's not the majority of people, the majority of people get in the stock market

to make money. Right. You can't look at everybody's motivation, because you'll always find

a minority of people are like, what are you nuts? Yeah. But even a lot of times people want even if they invest their money irresponsibly, it's because they think they can get rich quick. Yeah. You know, and it's like, no, sorry, you can't, but, you know, you're looking gambling. You may believe or I can, I can beat the odds. Well, probably not a smart investment. And, and so yeah, but you wait, it's going to be exactly that's a gamble in the family.

I look at the, I look at the power ball, it gets up to 500 million. I'm like, you know, many scratchoffs that would buy. I'm a genius when it comes to money. Just, you made me think

“about this and I have to bring it up again, because still it is the definition of greed. What's that?”

If everybody, anybody want, the definition of greed is not companies trying to make a legitimate profit. The definition of greed is not Elon Musk. Right. The definition of greed is,

It wasn't even about the money. The definition of greed is the woman in Dallas who, this

“goes back 10, 15 years. Inbezzled a quarter of a million dollars from her employer.”

And then spent the quarter of a million dollars on lottery tickets.

Yeah. Right. That's the definition of greed. Right. Instead of like hiding it, saving it, putting it somewhere where it would stay. Now, the embezzling also could be viewed as greed. Yeah. Would be viewed as greed. Right. You're taking what's not yours. Right. But that was it. It was the process of getting that much money. And then saying that's not enough. I need to buy lottery tickets with that money that I stole. Right. To get even richer. Yeah. But I just, I find it, I find it

amazing. You know, when we look at those two cases, San Francisco last week. Now, there was another proposition to get rid of that tax completely. That failed also. But they didn't vote to increase it. Right. And we saw an LA would happen with the the tax that they wanted to put on back in 2020. And jump here in National Review, Americans are not too interested in Democrats war against well. And that's a great point. Democrats have coalesced around the, a target to pile on the,

the selection cycle billionaires first, plus the first ever trillion air and the large corporations a own and manage representing the wealthy is the party's idea to reconnect with the voters upset about the economy. Unfortunately, progressive seems to have traded a set, a niche of cultural fixations that no one else shares for the niche economic fixation that few other share a successful company going public and making shareholders rich does no an injury. If anything, we should make

regulatory policy more accommodating for companies to seek access to public markets. And he goes but he goes through the whole thing that billionaires are the enemy now and the fighting the oligarchy tour and they're saying really Americans of other concerns. Not that the Democrats don't promote it, but their concerns come to what's going on in my personal life and the, the, the, the things that that they would hope that government either would solve or get out of. Well, in order to have

in order to have cheaper prices, things like that. We, we have a great listener John that writes us on a regular basis. And John writes us this interesting email here. I'm not sure if he wrote this came up with us on his own or if he saw this somewhere, but John writes us these, these points. And this is the, the, the, the jealousy in the envy that applies to what we're talking about. Case one, he writes, there have been 14 lottery jackpots in US history that has surpassed

the one billion dollar mark since 2016. I mean, since we're talking politically, you know,

get rid of the billionaires, right? These people may have gambled a little or a lot until they

“won the big one. Multiple people lost billions collectively. I think he means trying to win the jackpot.”

Case two, in the marketplace, one or more individuals may invest money, take risks, a possible failure, pay oodles of taxes. I paid four oodles, I think last year. I came a lot of oodles. It was, it was, it's an, it's an normally just pay one oodles. Is an oodles worth more than a rubble? Yes, it is. Well, I don't know the exchange rate. Yeah, no, since since the whole, yeah, I think with the Ukraine, it is. In point,

employ many people that also pay oodles of taxes, maybe multiple oodles, provide a useful product or service to thousands. Eventually, likely, after hard effort,

they may see an actual accumulation of a billion or more, which case of billionaire is the most

likely to be resented. He makes a great quote. Yeah, in case. Because the one that has gone through it, because I said, you know, and thank you, John, for the email. He writes the son of regular basis.

“We don't always get a chance to respond, but that, that when I think was worthy and part of the”

discussion, what's going on anyway here in, and makes it just a solid point. Because, you know, the California billionaire guy, a powerball, I think it was. He won, and he just, he came out and told everybody that he won it, which is the one thing they tell you not to do. And now he has armed security with him 24/7. He has, they work in eight-hour shifts, and he has

security guard has to ride shotgun. It's a two-seater car. And, two-story. And so, but you look at that,

“and everybody was like, oh my gosh, look, he won a billion dollars. Oh, you know, he's got a billion”

dollars, and, and then you look at somebody who's put in, as John writes, all the efforts, everything, the innovations, and I made the point before. Okay, if you don't like the billionaires,

turn off your Amazon, turn off your Facebook, turn off your X, turn off your cell phone,

turn off all your electronics, don't use AI, don't use the internet,

“because these are things that are all from the efforts of the collective of people who, again,”

a group of them, became billionaires along the way, turn it all in and don't use any of that.

You may say, well, that would be a great life. That's great. Also, go right a horse,

give up your car, certainly give up your EV. So, if you don't like the billionaires, then give up everything that they contributed to, and walk the walk. We are Red Eye Radio. We'll be right back

“with more Red Eye Radio with every currently and Gary McNamara.”

We're on our radio. He is our parliament. I'm Gary McNamara. The point is, and we'll have more in this coming up, that the poll show that Americans are not as concerned as a significant portion of Democrats are when it comes to billionaires and corporations, and they're effect on their life. They may look at it and go, well, the rich would pay more in taxes, whatever, but they don't hate Amazon. Well, no, they don't hate the innovation. They don't hate, they can take their

handheld device and do just about anything with it. I just saw, in fact, where the meta-glasses are being used for veterans who have lost their vision. This is something that Zuckerberg's company came up with, and so you can wear these glasses, and if you've lost your vision, he's making them available to veterans. If you've lost your vision, you can say, "Hey, where's my blue shirt?" Which, and it will point you in the direction of your standing and it will guide you in the whole

thing, also for the hearing impaired. There's some benefits there. These innovations we don't want to give up. This is Ridae Radio. On Westwood One.
