you're up late or you're just starting your day. Welcome to the show, from the Relief Factor Studios, for Gary McNamara, and Eric Harley. Here is Dan Mendes.

866-90, Red Eye is the phone number 866-90733-39, appreciate you being here, always appreciate the opportunity to guest host here on Red Eye Radio, Gary and Eric, they return.

Sunday night, Monday morning, you can find out more about me on the socials at Dan Mendes show. I host a morning show in Nashville, Tennessee, Super Talk, 997-WTN, and I have my text line open that I use for my local show if you can't call in text in.

“615-737-9986, so bombs away in Iran for 2nd night in a row, President Donald Trump declaring the ceasefire between Iran and the United States over, and now we have indeed carried out a 2nd night of bombing.”

I've got a lot of great audio from Trump. He was, you know, as you may know, we played some audio yesterday as well at last night, Donald Trump in NATO, and he's got a lot to say. He's continuing to claim that we have won the war in Iran, we'll go over that claim. There's a lot to the President, and the administration does, they do have to be proud of regarding the war in Iran, but there's still a lot of unfinished business. That's the big thing that the President needs to continue to discuss is the unfinished business.

But first, what happened last night, the U.S. pounded targets that included missile and drone sites near the straight of our moves while Iran fired on Kuwait and Bahrain, which hosts U.S. military bases, according to a senior U.S. official. You know, every time I see these stories, you know, just talking just between me and you, I keep wondering, why is it that Iran still has missile and drone sites that are to be blown up? I mean, how, how are any of these sites still standing? That, that's the, the thing that I continue to be shocked by.

And I do understand that when they fire upon Kuwait and Bahrain and our military bases, we can see where those missile and drone sites are, and I do understand that. But I would think that we would have the intelligence, we would have the ability to be able to see where these are before they fire off those missiles and before they fire off those drones.

And so I'm always just surprised with all of the military hardware that we have dropped on Iran that they still have areas that are left to be bombed.

But here we are, the U.S. truck 90 military targets to quote further degrade Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping and innocent civilian mariners in the straight of or moves U.S. Central Command said in a statement that noted the end of the latest strikes the U.S. attacks were broader in scope, then Tuesdays and included air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, naval capabilities, and logistics infrastructure, according to Sengcom, we also struck some bridges as well. So that's going to get a lot of people fired up.

We'll talk about why later on in the program, one of the things that I've really enjoyed watching is Donald Trump on his truth social, he's now taken to posting videos and pictures of the United States bombing the living crap out of Iran. So if you go to history social and you just start scrolling down, you will see picture after picture and video after video of the bombings that have taken place over the last couple of days, also by the way, it is worth noting that we have taken out one of their

leaders there in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard as well, so that is also in the news. So again, accomplishing a lot, militarily, there's still a lot that needs to get done.

In a post on social media, Donald Trump describing Wednesday's strikes as retribution for the Iranian attacks on commercial vessels near

We've already won full of terror, they have very little effort, little left, and they want to make a deal so badly, they call it a little while ago, they want to make a deal so badly.

“I just don't know if they're worthy of making the deal, I don't know if they're going to honor the deal. It's not a grace to be honest with you.”

It's not a grace to be a little bit out of control, but they want to make a deal badly.

So that is the president, a lot of background noise there, but basically the bottom line is the president saying that yes, the Iranians do want to make a deal badly.

You know, when he says these things, I'm just going to be honest with you, little cynical at this point, actually a lot cynical at this point. You know, because you listen to Red Eye, you listen to talk radio, you know the drill, you know the pattern, the president says things, and then the Iranians will come back and say, we never said that we don't feel that way, and they will, you know, basically say the opposite of what President Trump is saying, and they'll contradict him at every turn. So he does say the Iranians want to make a deal badly.

They've had every opportunity to make a deal. They simply refuse to behave. That's what is happening. And so for the Iranians, if they wanted to make a deal, all they have to do is behave, and they simply refuse to do so. So over the past 24 hours that Iran has been bombing our allies in Kuwait and Bahrain as they do, as I said before, we do have some military installations in those countries. What did we do? We took out again some facilities around the state of Hormuz. We took out some bridges as well.

“I think that the president, he clearly wants to make a deal.”

I think that he's clearly tried diplomacy, and it just is not working with Iranians. You just heard that audio by where he said, I don't know if I can trust them. I don't know the president said, if they are worthy of a deal, I like where the president's going. I like the fact that because I've been saying for a long time, you cannot trust the Iranians. As far as you can throw them, you really can't. I mean, we can debate all day long as to whether or not we should have begun this war in the first place.

A lot of people will hear that statement that I just made, and they'll say, the Iranians started this war way back when they took the hostages. I totally get that. I do.

But regardless as to whether Donald Trump started the war a few months ago or if Iran started this war way back in 1979, the bottom line is, here we are now.

We are in this war regardless as to when it started. We now have to finish it. And there's a lot of unfinished business, and the president is really getting pissed off, and I understand why. Because he wants this war to end. The American people want this war to end as well. The president says, you know, we think that we have a deal, and then Iran either comes out and says, we never agreed to that. They contradict him at every turn. And then Iran will, you know, talking about when the president says, I don't know if Iran is worthy of a deal.

Well, we were in the middle of a memorandum of understanding. We were in the middle of good faith and negotiations. We were negotiating in good faith. We're the Iranians. I don't know. But I do know is that Iran will do things like attack ships in the straight of our moves when a ceasefire is supposed to be going on.

“And so I think the president is just done.”

I mean, that's the vibe that I'm getting for President Trump. Now, I do understand. Gladio listening right now, and I just said this is the vibe that the president is giving that he is just done. But tomorrow, he may be out there praising Iran.

You just never know what you're going to get. And I think sometimes that works to Donald Trump's advantage. I think sometimes that actually works against the president.

But I think today, he's just incredibly frustrated as we all are. The president, though, he was asked this question about why he is not able to end the war. This was earlier today.

So I think we're doing just the opposite. The Iran war has been tremendous military success. And you know, I can only answer the question by saying they're not going to have a nuclear weapon.

I think it's been, I was there for one reason that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I call it. We are de-nuclearized Iran. And that's happened. They will never have a nuclear weapon.

That stuff is so far down under a mountain. It's a granite mountain that collapsed on top of it. Take months to get it out. I think it's a tremendous success Iran. President, and remember what I've been saying, and that is here all week. When we talk about Iran, the president needs to find an off-ramp.

“That's what he needs to do. He needs to find an off-ramp in this war.”

He needs to find a victory. Whether it is a true victory, whether it is spin, whatever.

I think by and large, our country is over this. We want our gas prices back to where they were. I'm no big fan of Iran. I know that most people are not. But the president wants to find an off-ramp. He wants to be able to declare a victory on something, and he wants to be able to end this war. Now. He does have a number of different victories that he could talk about. I mean, he could talk about the killing of the Iranian regime. Two or three layers deep. He could talk about that. He could talk about destroying their ability to manufacture nuclear weapons,

which they have been able to do that. We could talk about destroying their navy and their air force. There's a number of ways that the president could claim success and could claim victory. The question is, will people see a difference between a military victory and a political victory? That's the big problem. Because President Trump, as you know, spent a lot of time criticizing Obama's deal with Iran, the nuclear deal that Obama made with Iran. And so whatever deal he makes with the Iranians is got to be better than the deal that Obama struck.

But it is going to be inherently different, whatever ultimately happens. I mean, friends, we may get to a point where no deal is actually negotiated. We may get to a point where the memorandum of understanding expires.

“And no deal is made. And the only thing that we can do is continue military action to ensure that Iran does not interfere with the flow of oil through the straight-of-war moves.”

That's the only thing we can do. Do that. And from a military standpoint, do everything we possibly can do to ensure that Iran does not have the ability to manufacture a nuclear weapon. Those are the two things now. Those are the two things that I would call unfinished business. Because I know that you've heard the same audio bites and you've seen the same video that I have over the past couple of months, where the President and the President's administration will say that our military action in Iran has been a tremendous success.

And they'll talk about the bullet points. They'll talk about the navy at the bottom of the sea, the air force that was destroyed. They'll talk about all of that. And those are successes. That is the military success.

But from a political success, you can talk about Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard still being in place.

“What control do they have over the straight-of-war moves? Those are going to be the things that I believe the President will ultimately be judged on.”

And yeah, I do believe that this country is going to have a great debate and a great discussion about whether or not this war has been a tremendous success. And what a victory actually means. Donald Trump has to convince America that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard's ability to just survive does not mean that they necessarily want. A lot of people will make the case that if they're still breathing and if they're still in charge, then they won. I'm not even sure the discussion is about nuclear weapons at this point. It really does seem to be about the straight-of-war moves.

And Iran trying to control it and Iran trying to charge tolls to the ships that they try to sail through it.

I don't know. I think they're a little local. They're a little crazy. Yeah, that is what President Trump said about Iran. Any government, I would say that merely killed so many of its citizens and just doesn't seem to care. They are crazy and they are nuts. But the President rattled off a lot of the military accomplishments of the war earlier today when he was at NATO.

We'll talk about that and a whole lot more straight ahead. Phone number remains 86690 Redite 8669073339. If you can't call in text in 615 7379986, got a lot more straight ahead.

Never use cruise control when operating in adverse driving conditions, including wet, icy or slippery roads.

During brush hour and heavy traffic are on congested highways at night or when you're tired or fatate. You want to be controlling and adjusting your speed as you drive instead of having to suddenly break if you encounter an obstacle.

“I don't know, I think they're a little local, they're a little crazy.”

Yep, that is Donald Trump talking about the Iranians. And again, as I said at the end of the last segment, this is a country that just kills many of its citizens and they just really don't seem to care about much of anything.

The president in this particular press conference, he rattled off a lot of the military accomplishments of the war that I've already mentioned in the first segment of this radio broadcast.

There have been many Donald Trump spoke about their navy and the air force, being gone, the ability to make nuclear weapons gone as well. Then he spoke about Iran's wishes for Trump himself to be assassinated. And you know what, I may be gone too, because I'm the number one target. It's out all over the place, I'm the number because they're scumb, that's the way they act. And that's the way they've done it for 47 years.

But I'm doing what's right for the country, I'm doing what's right for the world, they have to be stopped. And they've killed thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, they killed 52,000 protest over the last three months. So when you say we're not doing well, I think we're doing phenomenally well.

“So it's just, you know, honestly, it's just a matter of how you, how you gauge success, how do you gauge victory?”

Again, militarily, yeah, man, we are getting in there and we are blowing stuff up. We have set them back big time, but we won't know who won this more for a while. Do you know the, um, the old saying how it goes, uh, you don't really judge a president's time and office until, you know, 100 years in the future? That's kind of how I feel about Iran, where it just kind of depends on what happens with Iran and what they decide to do. Think about this.

Right now, they have the opportunity, the Iranians have the opportunity to make a deal.

To make a deal to try to make their country's economy incredible.

And the amazing thing is they just don't care. They value things that the rest of the world does in value. They value death. They value the ability to kill innocent people. That's what Iran values.

The rest of the world just doesn't agree with that and trying to make these folks into less, uh, barbaric is proven to be difficult to say the least. Scrolling with Hayley, I am Hayley Karania.

8669073339. All right. So I put a pull up on my socials on X at Dan Mandisho. It's very simple. Great President Trump's war efforts in Iran.

You can give him an A, a B, a C, or an F. And I truly want to know what you think. Now, right now. And I literally put this up. Just seconds ago 75%.

I have no idea how many people have voted. Oh, four. All of four votes. Thank you. So 75% of those four votes.

Say that President Trump gets an A. 0% gave him a B. Now you've got 20% giving him a C. And 20% giving the President an F. So, you know, that's going to be up for the next 23, 24 hours or so.

And we'll talk about what the final results will be tomorrow night. And I'll keep you updated on what people are saying. I think a lot of folks. Again, not to believe or the point, but it just. It just depends on how you define victory.

Let's see here. This is I'm sorry. I've got a phone call. Phone calls is 866907333986690. Redite Jane is an Oregon on Redite Radio.

Hey, Jane, how are you? I'm tired, I think. You and me both. My comment is that, you know, we were just talking about your ran in the last 47 years. But, you know, if you think about it,

remember the movie 300 where it was a run. I've got, you know, a sparta. And Athens had been scrapping back and forth for some time. But here comes Iran who had had no borders with them. Comes over the water.

And he traps. I guess we're 300 lawyers trying to protect Marda. Okay. And he liked them all out by Skull Dothery. They're running coming over for what reason.

You know, they weren't as neighbors or anything like that.

Well, the reality is that the reality is Jane,

whether we're talking about, you know, 2,000 years or 47 years. The Middle East has always been a train wreck.

“And I think part of what's going on currently is you've got a lot of nations in the Middle East”

that just hate Iran for a number of different reasons. And so, and clearly, we have our reasons and many of them for hating Iran as well. So whether we're talking about, you know, 2,000 years ago or, you know, 47 years ago or yesterday, we've got plenty of reasons why we don't like Iran. Now, let me ask you this.

The real quick, Jane. If you could give Donald Trump, just since it's on my mind, and I put the appola, if you could give Donald Trump a grade for this war, what would you give him? I like Trump.

He's just amazing as far as I'm concerned. You know, somebody was walking with him one time and said, you know, we could get killed out here. He says, gotta go sometime. Yeah, yeah, and I think President Trump.

So whatever he does is fine with me. I think he knows what he's doing.

He seems to have a second sight or something.

Would you give him an A, a B, a C, or anything? I know you wouldn't give him an A. Hey, you'll give me. Okay, and I appreciate the call very much, Jane. And you know, one of the things that Jane said is she seems sort of apprehensive.

Like she didn't want to actually, you know, give him a grade at all. She said, I like President Trump. Here's the thing.

I like him a lot.

“And I think that he's got tremendous ideas.”

I think that he has done a lot of really good things in his first term.

And now in a second term, I think that, unfortunately, with the Iranian situation, we have gotten ourselves and the President has gotten himself into a situation where he's dealing with a nation that is just not willing to play along. They're not willing to negotiate. Donald Trump, the art of the deal.

Well, it's hard to come up with a great deal for everyone, if one side of the negotiation. They're not negotiating in good faith. And that is what is happening with Iran. They're simply not negotiating in good faith.

And so for the President, I mean, clearly he is frustrated. We're all frustrated if you are a conservative. You understand that the midterm elections are coming. And if gas prices are going to go back up, I, it's funny in my, my morning show in Nashville, Tennessee.

I, I open the show and kind of, you know, joking a little bit. It's like the Iranians knew that my favorite gas station gas was it, you know, $3.00 a nine cents. And now more than likely it's going to go back up again. And it is frustrating.

Am I worried about the midterm elections? I'm absolutely worried about the midterm elections.

“Am I worried about the overall state of the Middle East?”

Yes, I am very worried about the overall state of the Middle East. We'll have to see ultimately where this whole thing goes. One of my favorite commentators is Scott Jennings over on CNN. I don't agree that this conflict has somehow hardened Iran even further. I think they were already as adversarial to the United States as they could be.

They've been adversarial to us for 47 years. And it was this President that decided to try to do something about it. He also tried to give diplomacy a chance.

I concur that, you know, there was always a high percentage chance.

The Iranians were never going to come to the table here in a meaningful way in good faith. And that's, and I'll let him finish here in a second. But when we got into this deal with Iran, when we got into this war in Iran, that's one of the first things I said.

I said, okay, I get what the President's trying to do. I appreciate that they can't have a nuclear weapon. I got all of it. But my biggest concern, and I hate to say, because I'm not one of those guys that, you know, runs around saying, you know, I was right.

I was right. I was right. That's not my deal. But I will tell you that all of my concerns have ended up really coming to fruition. They called up earlier, Tom from Illinois.

“He couldn't hold on, but one of the things that he wanted to say was, who are we negotiating with?”

And it's a great point. Because in Iran, remember, and I know the Gary and Eric talk about this all the time. But remember, in Iran, you've got a couple of different levels of government, if you will.

You've got the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

They're the ones that ultimately, they're the military apparatus of the government. And, you know, their job really is to keep the order. And also, they're the ones that are calling the shots because they're the ones with the guns. And so they have a lot of responsibilities within Iran. They're the ones that have gone to the streets and killed a lot of those protesters, right?

So, so they're the ones that we should be negotiating with. But we've been negotiating with the other arm of the government in Iran. The just, you know, sort of, I don't know what you would call them, but the government that really doesn't matter all that much. There are the ones that we're actually talking to. And until we start actually talking to directly, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and whoever they are,

I think we're going to be stuck in this position. And by the way, very rarely are we actually speaking to the people that matter in Iran. We're actually speaking to Qatar. We're speaking to nations that are participating in the negotiations, but they're not necessarily, you know, involved militarily. Except Iran is bombing them every time that they get upset.

And every time we try to do something, they will bomb our allies in the Middle East. Kuwait is another one. You've got Oman, you've got Qatar, Pakistan has been involved as well in the negotiations.

That's the major issue. You've got who are we negotiating with? And I just told you, we've got the arm of the Iranian government that doesn't really seem to have any teeth. Then we've got Oman and Qatar and Pakistan.

“We are negotiating with them as well as mediators, but who should we be negotiating with?”

And again, that's the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

So there's a lot of questions that still need to be answered. We'll have to see, ultimately, where this all goes. 86690, Red Eye is the phone number 8669073339. You can text in if you can't call in 61573996. Got about more.

Get in touch with Red Eye Radio, toll-free at 866. Mindy Red Eye. 86690, Red Eye is the phone number 8669073339. Follow me on X, follow me on Facebook. That day in Manda show, if you find me on X, I've got a poll up there tonight.

Great President Trump's war efforts in Iran, ABC or F, about 65% of you are giving the president an A. 5.9% at B. You've got 17.6% to giving President Trump a C. And an F, 11.8%. Somebody on the text line that I use, it's 61573996. Commenting on the fact that there were some of you that gave the president an F.

Somebody said, "Well, that proves that there are some people who listen to Red Eye radio who have Trump to range from syndrome." I would disagree. I mean, I just told you in the previous segment that I like President Trump a lot.

“And I think that he's done a lot of really good things, and he's got some really good ideas.”

That doesn't mean though that I'm not going to criticize him when I believe that he is off base on something. And I have done that many times. But promise, I promise you, friends, on the last guy that you can accuse of having Trump to range from syndrome, just because I have a problem with some of the things that he has done. Let's say hello to this is Dave in Pennsylvania on Red Eye Radio.

Dave, thanks for calling in. Yeah, I think we should just go in and finish the job. I think we got him on the ropes. I think it's like when you've got a fighter on the ropes and the ring, you go for it. Now, they're attacking Bahrain, the UAE, the weight.

Why can't we furnish these people with systems by which they can defend themselves, and offensive systems, which when they can fight back, and why can't we just go, I don't mean the Iranian people. But again, the IRCG, the regime, governmental building, oil refinery, a footwear fighter, he's bridges, things of that nature.

I mean, you've got him on the ropes, let's finish him off. So what I would say in Dave, I appreciate the call. Because I'm right there with you, right? Like from an emotional standpoint, you're absolutely right. I want to see some bombs dropped, and that is what's happening.

Part of the problem is that Iran has an endless supply of drones.

And relatively speaking, drones are really cheap, and it costs a lot of money to be able to knock them down from a military standpoint. So that's number one is they do have a lot of drones. And number two, you probably got China and Russia helping Iran sort of off to the side, if you will. And so Iran is going to have plenty of ammunition from a drone standpoint.

That's number one. So it is as easy as it is to drop a bunch of bombs. It's a lot harder to fend off all of those drones. So that's number one. Number two, we are trying to reverse,

and we have reversed some of the things that were in the memorandum of understanding that allowed Iran to sell oil on the open market. They now, again, are no longer allowed to do that. They're aby newking their economy, which is something we really do need to do. Number three, a lot of people are saying we need to take it cargo island.

That is something that would be an incredible escalation.

“But I believe that it is something that we do need to do.”

Let's see here. This is Rich in Pennsylvania real quick on red eyed radio. Rich, thanks for calling in. Go ahead. Well, hi, I'm from Oregon.

I like Trump a lot.

He's done a lot of great things.

“And when he first started the Iran thing, I gave him an A.”

But you know, when he says that we've defeated them militarily, he's blowing smoke up our butts because if that was the case, they wouldn't be able to close the straight or lose. I mean, just be honest and like your last caller said, just get the job done.

I mean, it's almost, it's almost like... Gaslight. He's clueless, you know. Well, so, so Amber, if he ever thought Iran was ever going to be barred in a good faith, and then he's naive.

I mean, yeah. Hey, Rich, I appreciate the call running out of time here. I'll say a couple of things real quick as we wrap up this hour. Number one, you're right because you don't negotiate with terrorists. And as I said, previous in this hour,

“I never had faith that Iran would negotiate in good faith.”

That's number one. Number two, their ability to close the straight of her moves. That is a really difficult and tedious, frankly, conversation. Because there's a lot of ways that the Iranians can close the straight of her moves. I just talked about the drones and there's some other ways as well.

The problem is that the ships that go through the straight of her moves,

they can't get insurance. That's a bigger issue because of Iran. [Music] Now for the hour news is brought to you by HowProduct Visit HowProducts.com. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One.

[Music] Now, it's Red Eye Radio. We've talked 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 for Gary McNamara and Eric Hartley.

Here is Dan Mendes.

86690 Red Eye is the phone number 8669073339.

You can find out more about me on the socials. That Dan Mendes show and I do have a pull-up on my ex-feed right now. Again, at Dan Mendes show. Great President Trump's so war in Iran and I've got ABC or F. And by far, a lot of people still saying that Donald Trump deserves an A,

but the more that people are voting, the more the numbers do change. So I'll keep you updated on how those numbers do continue to change. Can I say this though?

“I think it is off-league rich for people across the country in the media,”

the Democrats as well, who are saying that Donald Trump is losing it. This is the headline. This is the headline from the Daily Mail. Donald Trump makes too astonishing verbal gaps at NATO's sparking wild dementia allegations. Now, I don't know if you've heard what the president has done or did,

but I'm going to play for you these, and then I'm going to get to your calls. But he did have a couple of verbal gaps. Now, I don't believe these are any big deal. But this is Gaff number one, where he referred to the Islamic Republic of Japan.

An aircraft carrier, which is one of the most beautiful in the world. It's one of the biggest, the Abraham Lincoln. And to months ago, we had a hundred, I told this story yesterday, we had a hundred and eleven missile shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan. So clearly, the Islamic Republic of Japan is not launching missiles.

It was shot at the aircraft carrier over a period of about one hour. 11 missiles going to a very expensive ship. And every one of those missiles was knocked down. Now, the funny thing is, it's not funny. I'm letting it play a little bit more just to see if he corrected himself.

Because you know, and I speak for a living, right? I speak on the radio for a living. I do podcasts. I do interviews. I'm interviewed all the time.

And mistakes do happen. But for the people on the left who obviously ignored the problems that Joe Biden was having. In real time, as people like me and Gary and Eric were all screaming,

And everybody ignored it.

Gaslighting the American people. Now, though, all of a sudden, people seem to know what early onset of dementia is. So, if you think about it, and by the way, here's the other one that President Trump did real quick, where he confused President Zelensky with Putin. Listen, you have a question for President Putin.

So, so he's got to his right. He's got Vladimir Zelensky. And so he confused Vladimir Zelensky with Vladimir Putin.

“Do you know how many people have made that mistake?”

You have a question for President Putin. You have a question for President Putin.

You have a question for President Putin.

What would you like to ask him? Because I'm going to ask him that question. So, so Trump, you know, he laughed it off. He realized pretty much immediately, oh, I've shanked it. Shanked it.

This is Zelensky not Putin. He's been doing a lot of flying. So, I looked up, just for, you know, crafts and giggles. I did look up the early onset of dementia to see if Trump fit any of those, any of those, you know, signs or symptoms that I see anything in Donald Trump, not one.

I'm the president is able to handle multiple tasks at a time. He is able to give interviews and speak to the media for hours at a time. They talk about how, and when I say early onset of dementia, I mean, the man is, how does Trump? What does he like? 70's something.

Let's see here. Guys in the studio, Ron, how old is Donald Trump? 80 Donald Trump is 81 years old. He is not showing signs of dementia and clearly everybody knew that a Joe Biden did.

“So, if you want to compare, if you want to compare and contrast, Donald Trump and Joe Biden,”

we certainly can. These are, you know, very innocent mistakes that people make. I've told the story to my local audience in Nashville, Tennessee. My mom, she died at the age of 82. And, and my mom, my mom, she passed away.

But she, she thought for years, my mother thought that she had early onset of dementia. Now, she didn't, but she swore that she did, you know why?

Because she always got confused with names.

I remember when I was probably 12, 13, 14 years old. My mom was in her probably, I think, 50's at that time. I can't do math on the radio. But she would say, you know, my brother's name is Mike. We had a, we had a dog named Tigger.

So she would, you know, she's talking to me. Mike, oh, Tigger, no, I mean, Danny, right? She was, she, she would go through like 15 different names before she could get, you know, to the right name. But she died in her early 80s, and she was absolutely sharp as attack.

And I don't mean Joe Biden sharp as attack. I mean, she really was sharp as attack. So, you know, some people, they just, they have problems with, you know, names or that kind of a thing. It doesn't mean that they've got, you know, Alzheimer's or dementia or anything. It just means that they've got a little, a little quirk in the brain and they're not able to,

they're not able to, you know, remember people's names for whatever reason. But for Donald Trump, I mean, it is clear that he is in full command of everything that's going on in his mind.

“And again, if that's what you want to try to hang on Donald Trump, you know, some sort of Alzheimer's or dementia.”

If you've watched the man in a press conference, if you've watched him, you know, go through one, two or three pressers a day where he's got, you know, 70 questions being hurled at him in one time. He's able to handle all of them. So, I just, you know, I don't want to belabor the point, but I think if you have President Trump, and he is clearly showing a full command of his faculties because he's got a full command of the issues.

Yeah, he says something as, you know, in Oculus is, is confusing of Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky. It's, I give it a rest. The phone number is 86690. Red eye 8669073339. And let me say hello to this is Steven in Alabama on Red Eye Radio.

Hey, Steven, hi, Dan, real briefly on this idea that he's got early on set dementia. I think it's fatigue more than anything. Yeah, that's a great point. Works too much. But the next point, let me just, I know your time is limited, but on this Iran conflict, okay?

threat reduction agency in the nuclear technologies division. That's where I work as a contractor. Iran cannot be negotiated with.

“It's much, the analogy I make with it is when you hire an exterminator because you have cockroaches in your house, you don't negotiate.”

Say, well, let's just kill half of them. No, you have to wipe them out. That's the nature of Iran.

In 1979, I was at Fort Benning, Georgia as a brand new second lieutenant.

I became a colonel later in my career. And I've said, since that date in 1979, I told all the other candidates that I was in Austrian at a school with is an E5 at that time. That one day, we're going to have to deal with Iran, and it's going to be difficult, and we're going to have to wipe them out. You cannot negotiate with these people. They cannot be trusted.

They lie by design. Well, that's all I want to say about that, Dan. They lie and they obfuscate.

“I think that Donald Trump, I think he had to have known that he was going to, this is what he was going to be faced with, is the lying, the obfuscation.”

I mean, remember, they lie about everything. If there's one thing that I've noticed with every Iranian expert that I've interviewed, they all do say the same thing, which is they are indeed famous for lying. By the way, I stand corrected Donald Trump 80 years old, the not that just turning 82. Let's see here, Danny is in Missouri on right-eye radio. Danny, go ahead.

I want to tell you that, I know that you've filled in for multiple hosts. And what's really odd, and I hope I'm not shooting you in the foot. But I think you do a better job than something you've been feeling. Well, I appreciate that.

I'm always appreciative of the opportunity.

One of the things they've screened the call, one of the things that I see that you're saying, you're going to say is Donald Trump and are underestimated the Iranian fanaticism. I find that interesting because Donald Trump, and I'll let you see how you want.

“But I think that Donald Trump, I ran his Ben on his radar for a long time.”

You've actually brought up a really good point, and one that I've thought about for a long time, because for someone who has been so educated on Iran, and he's been talking about that for a long time. I don't know if he underestimated their fanaticism or if he just, he underestimated or maybe overestimated his own ability to deal with that. But go ahead. Well, I think, you know, you were coming out of grade, and at first I thought, well, be minus. And then really, I've kind of thought about it while I was on hold.

But I think it's more like an A minus because he really, what he's doing is something that nobody, no president, has done in 47 years. And then when Reagan, and I think they were kind of afraid of Reagan, which is why they let the hostages go on January 20th, when, yeah, when he got inaugurated. But he didn't follow through, but at the same time, he was also dealing with the aftermath of Jimmy Carter's, you know, terrible. Um, economy. Yeah.

So yeah. I kind of get that. But the weird thing is, I also think that he kind of thought that, you know, it was going to be kind of like Venezuela. And you're dealing with a different animal. But yeah, absolutely. You bring up a great point, Danny, because this came right on the heels of Venezuela, which I'm not going to say was easy, because the Venezuelan military operation was brilliant by all standards.

I do think that maybe president Trump is guilty of maybe either overestimating our own ability to drive out the Islamic Revolutionary Guard,

and maybe he did underestimate their ability to, to stay in power. But either way, Danny, I appreciate the call and the fine words as well. Tammy is in Tennessee, probably listening to super-talking in '97, where I host a morning show there. Tammy, thanks for holding on. Go ahead.

I'm a little nervous because I don't think I've ever called in, but as I was watching the news tonight, as I usually do, when he talks about decimating the Air Force and the Navy and blah, blah, blah.

Probably we could stop this war in two weeks of something that I've never heard anybody mention.

This religious theocracy that is so brutal that once to basically kill everything on the planet, so they can meet Allah, they can have their 72 virgins. Why has nobody whispered in Donald Trump's ear or started a rumor that every marine or military bullet,

“every drone, every missile has pig DNA or blood in it?”

Well, I don't know if that I understand and appreciate the spirit of that comment. I think at the end of the day, if they're going to be on the receiving end of a missile, I don't think it matters to them if they got there's a pig pork, a pork blood or whatever on it. I think that at the end of the day, whether it contains that or not, we need to be dropping more. And I think that you're right, and people are commenting, by the way, on the poll that I put up, a gray Donald Trump ABC or an F,

“I think people are saying exactly that too, which is, let's start going after the airports, let's start going after the bridges.”

There's some people in Tammy, I appreciate the call. There's some people that say that, well, if the president does that, if he goes after, you know, this infrastructure that is used by civilians, that is a war crime, that is something that the left has been saying a lot, it's actually not, I mean, left is just please stop it, because it is easily provable. It is easily verified that the Iranian military, they also use the bridges and the airports and so forth, thereby making them legitimate targets. 86690, Red Eye is the phone number. All right, coming up, a couple more of your calls. Thank you for all the calls. I love it.

A couple more of your calls. Also, the latest on the Grand Platner, if you don't know, he is now a dropped out of the Senate race in Maine, what he had to say, my jaw hit the table detail straight ahead right here on right-eye radio. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by house products tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. How did last week's hot temperatures east of the Rockies impact USDA's latest pasture, which allowed conditions report, a court aid to be yourologist Brad Rippie. We did see a one point increase in the very poor poor ratings for pastures nationally, now 36% up from 35% a week ago, the good to excellent rating dropping a point from 34% last week to 33% good to excellent nationally this week,

even with the slight condition deterioration week over week, Rippie says subarriers, no green pastures, including the Midwest 60% good to excellent or greater in every Midwestern state except Nebraska and the Dakotas. We've even seen enough improvement in the South previous drought affected areas that we've seen pastures now graded greater than 60% good to excellent in states like Kentucky, Louisiana and Alabama.

However, one third of the nation records significantly very poor to poor pasture and range land conditions for the period ending July 5.

I'm Rod Bay in reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senax, Fules and Loops. We wind up and bore your goals. 8.690 Red Eye on Red Eye Radio. 8.690 Red Eye, 8.690, 7.3339, Ken is in Michigan listening to the great WJR, Ken, thanks for calling in, go ahead.

“Yes, up until yesterday, I believe I would have given him an F.”

I believe he had sincere intentions of identifying it diplomatically with negotiations. I think he underestimated the tenacity of the Iranians.

They're very manipulative. They know we have the midterence coming up and they have basically threw the negotiations.

I've decided him wasted two months and now after their attacking the ships, I think Trump is going to finally finish him off and I'm going to wind up giving him an A.

It's an A. Now you're right, Ken, you're on the right track.

But the thing is, you're on the right track because Donald Trump has said many times before he entered into this negotiation that you cannot trust Iran. So he went in there, I mean, he's on record is saying that the Iranians, they lied, they cheat, they steal, they fund terrorism, etc. So he went into this, eyes wide open, knowing exactly what he was getting into. I give him an A because he tried diplomacy. He proved to the rest of the world that diplomacy matters.

“Now, clearly, he gave Iran enough rope if you want to use this analogy. A lot of enough rope to hang themselves because it is clear they are not interested in negotiating any kind of a peace deal.”

Now, he's really given himself the permission to start dropping bombs. And I think that hopefully, as you say, Ken, will finish the job. And thanks for your call. [MUSIC] Catch, run I radio live every night on the Red Eye radio app, available in the app store, Red Eye Radio. 2690 Red Eye is the phone number 8669073339 appreciate you listening Dan Mandis here in for Gary and Eric.

You can always text into the show when I'm on 615737 9986. I host a morning show in Nashville, Tennessee on Super Talk Friday night 7.

“Gary and Eric, they return next Sunday night Monday morning. So we've all been on Platner watch, right?”

So we've been dealing with Graham Platner. He has been running for the Senate in the state of Maine and he's had a lot of controversy. Of course, I've been keeping you updated on everything regarding his election bid and it's been really a drama all week. And so there's been a massive amounts of very skillless accusations against him, the latest of which were rape and sexual assault. He's been running again for the Senate in Maine. He won the primary now after pressure from the party.

Graham Platner finally earlier tonight, he dropped out of the race.

“Hey everyone, it's Graham Platner here. I think as many of you know over the past couple days, I have faced some very serious allegations.”

And I just want to make it clear, this is all false. The things that have been claimed did not happen. It's not real. It is placed in a month's amount of weight on me as I think about what needs to happen now. Well, and by the way throughout this seven minute plus video, he was fighting back tears and you know, he does say that all the allegations are false, but the problem is that the allegations, the accusations have all been very consistent. And we've got a Nazi tattoo, the accusations of aggressive and intimidating behavior, the nasty behavior on social media, the homophobic slurs and the anti-Semitic nonsense that he would spew.

And remember, he had said that women who were raped had to look at their own behavior, remember all of that. So then the accusation comes from an ex girlfriend who said that he had raped her, it was just too much for the Democrat party nationally and for the state of Maine. And so the Democrats, I believe, and I said this last night, the Democrats simply realized that they could not win with this guy. So now they orchestrated his ouster from the Senate race and here's more from that video explaining for him what is next.

I just want you to think about what you would do as a regular person in a position where a much larger world, large forces. Working against you personally to accuse you of the worst thing that a person could do, and it was not remotely true.

So throughout this whole thing, and by the way, I will say the grant planner does have some valid points.

“I mean, you're talking about a guy who, you know, he says I only found out about this through a press inquiry, but okay.”

He's denying these accusations, but the problem is, as I said, he is such a repulsive individual that, I mean, unfortunately, there's a lot of people that are unwilling to give him the benefit of the doubt. One of the other things that I noticed in this video is that he doesn't take any responsibility for anything that has happened to him. And I'll get to that part of the story coming up, but, you know, he does have valid points where the woman in question came out of nowhere and accused him at just the right time for maximum pressure for him to drop out.

So I think the Democrat party, I think they've been worried about his chances, and as I said, and as he said, the corporate machine that is the media and the Democrat party working as one came after him, but he's dismissing all of the other accusations that have been made against him and how that very same media and that very same Democrat party defended him.

Now the question is whether the accusations are true, now the statute of limitations is like 20 years in Maine.

“So his accuser, if he truly did commit rape, his accuser can file reports and see if he could be brought up on charges.”

It's five years after the fact. But you know, before you feel too sorry for Graham Platner, and I know most people don't, and I certainly don't. He did sign up for this. Graham Platner knows politics, Graham Platner knows that it is a rough and tumble, really nasty business. But he got into it anyway. There is a reason that this is happening now. I only haven't told July 13th until I am officially the nominee. This was the last week to try to get me off of the ballot.

It's not the false allegations, though, that have brought us to where we are. It's the fact that they're being used by the political establishment to put structural pressure on us. And we live in a political system that is not built for normal people. It is a system that is built structurally to make sure that movements like ours cannot flourish. That if they begin to succeed, they can be crushed.

All right, so I would say to Graham Platner, you know, stop talking.

“Because I think that he now is frankly sounding like a sore loser.”

I would remind him that it was the political establishment that brought him to where he was. They encouraged him to run. They loved him. They helped him. They donated to his campaign. But it's been his own social media posts and his own comments and his Nazi tattoo that started this whole thing to unravel. And they stood by him after every one of those social media posts and comments and the news about the tattoo. They stood by him every step of the way.

And so this comment that the political establishment does build so that movements like his or ours, as he said, cannot flourish. Which is an absolute load of crap. Because he literally had the party leaders like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders endorsing him until his past came too much of it came to light. And it got to a point where it was just ridiculous with the amount of accusations that were against him. And again, the accusations were unproven, but by the standards of the Democrats and the standards of the hashtag #MeToo movement.

The victim, the woman is always to be believed. That's a Democrat thing.

So then that is exactly why they finally said no more enough.

And so the political establishment, you know, given it took away.

It was only after the accusations of rape happen that he was unable to knew. You know, his platform of socialism anti-Israel, anti-Semitism and open borders is what those three socialist from New York ran on.

“And say one, and I believe that Graham Platner, if he wasn't such an incredible dirt bag, he may have won in Maine.”

So I would say it's not the platform, dude. It's you.

And so then he goes on to blame the party for his ouster taking zero responsibility for his fall from grace.

Those in power, whoever the ability to do so are using these allegations as an excuse to take away all of the things that we need to run a campaign. We are going to lose our ability to fundraise. We are going to lose our ability to access voter data. We are going to lose all of the things that any campaign needs on the basic level simply to function.

“Larger organizations, the national level party, the bigger donor networks, they have all committed to spending no money in this race if I'm in it.”

Well, again, you knew that politics was a dirty business.

And by the way, the fact that all of those people that I just mentioned Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and a lot of these other party elite on the Democrat side, the fact that they stood by you. Despite the earlier accusations from a Republican, so nobody cared on the left. Of sexual assault or all of the really bizarre social media postings and the things that you've said, the fact that they stood by you when all of that came to light and the Nazi tattoo proves that politics is a dirty business.

And so now, at this point, as we wrap this up, Graham Platner is close to tears as he talks about how this campaign is done. We believe that for the movement to continue, it can't be made. And for that reason, we are suspending campaign operations. This is incredibly difficult because I know that some will think it's an admission of guilt, and it most certainly has not. We're not doing it because of the allegations we're doing it because of the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power.

So there you have it. Now the big question is what is next for the Democrat party, the Democrats can choose who they want to run against Susan Collins. This is from Fox News.

“Platner's exit from the race comes five days before a crucial deadline, which if he had missed it, would have prevented Maine Democrats from replacing him with a new nominee on the general election ballot.”

Now, a lot of people were saying that Platner actually was handcuffing the Democrat party in Maine. They say the suspension of his campaign took place one month after Platner won the landslide victory in Maine's June 9th, Democratic Senate primary, but just two days after the explosive report on Monday afternoon contained an allegation of rape from a woman he had previously dated. Now, a lot of people are saying what I said last night, which is vast majority of the stuff that is out there, the 156,000 people that voted for him in the primary, they already knew.

It was a toxic dirt bag and they voted for him anyway. So did the party in Maine, the Democrat party in Maine, did they do the right thing by ultimately canceling out the vote of the 156,000 people that voted for him. They forced him out. They forced him out. Now they're just going to play somebody else in there. We have to see what happens. We'll return next on what I radio. Two hundred and fifty years this week were celebrating, wow, Americans have believed in one powerful idea from the beginning that we were meant to live free.

“Thank you. This thing with the ram. I think it's going to have to be subtle, kind of like the way we had to settle things with the empire of Japan.”

You want to do a new caron? Well, I'm not really, but they're not going to give up. Does anybody understand that? Okay, Bob, let me ask you a question. I'm absolutely not for a new king I ran, but I totally understand why you say that.

New caron and kill thousands of innocent civilians or American boots on the ground. Which would you rather?

No, I would rather see that happen because let's face it. They go out and they killed their own people every day of the week. So I mean, I know it's crazy, but that's the last victory we had. And that's the last time that we've got to stop to this kind of nonsense. Alright, Bob, thank you very much for the call. I appreciate it. I'm not for a new king. I ran. I totally get Bob sentiment.
