Of course, in Europe, Sarium is a house with the largest house in the world.

“Many thousand animals were born on the ground with a lot of flowers and herbs.”

The Vivae, the Gosaium D.E. Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley, talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day, whether you're up late or you're just starting your day. Welcome to the show from the Relief Fector Studios.

This is Red Eye Radio. All across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning. Welcome. One other thing, and then we get to the whole CBC story out of Canada and the whole using terrorist attacks. But the one thing that Trump has talked about, and again,

it does seem like who blew this up right now, and who's telling the big lie is

that Bernie about Quebec and other things. It does seem like from what we can see that they weren't really far apart to blow this whole thing up. And it was blown up by the Canadians this time. Irrespective of what we have told you Trump has done before, which we disagreed with with all of this.

But the one thing is Trump continues out there talking about the fact that they're ripping us off because there's a trade imbalance. We have a trade surplus except for one reason. We've Canada. And what is it? Oil. Oil. Who is demanding, and last year demanded,

“that Canada flowed that oil through the United States?”

Hillary Clinton. And you know, members, she wouldn't talk about it. I don't think it's my place to talk about policy. You're running for presidents. And we're getting the oil at the low market prices.

And so Trump wants what has given us the very small trade deficit.

It's normally between 40 and 60 billion a year.

We're doing almost a trillion dollars and trade back and foreign. It's nothing. Yeah. And we get a great advantage. And because you have a trade imbalance is not an negative. Right.

Yeah. And so just just to make that one clear. Yeah, because he continues to do that, which is just completely false. But again, every so much on economics with Trump, it comes across as he's contradicting himself on a consistent basis on it. Terrific, especially.

You know, doesn't affect prices. We're cutting, we're cutting tariffs because it'll lower prices. A foreign government's pay or could be foreign companies pay for all the tariffs. We're going to lower the tariffs so the prices go down for our consumers. He's all over the damn place on it.

It's ridiculous. And Republicans should have the guts to call him on it. And they don't. If you're going to promote something be honest about it. And the same thing goes to the Canadian Prime Minister.

Yeah, I suspect that Carnegie probably got some political backlash when he announced it was going to be a great deal. Because it sounded like, because when that came out to me, it was like, wow. He said it was the best deal. Yeah.

And it made it sound like, wow, he's just got a totally different tone. And I wonder if that backlash came from his party. You know, his likely his base. Yeah, I mean, it's his party, but also his base rank and file. If that did happen.

And then all of a sudden he's telling lies about the deal. And then saying, I'd rather not do any trade at all than have the US take our sovereignty. What are you talking about? Yeah. And what are you, what are you, give up our sovereignty to the, what are you talking about?

Yeah. And it's, it was either a great deal or it wasn't what was the change of heart.

“And that's why it's important as newspapers have done a lot of foreign newspapers.”

Spectator, for example, that we read that said, the, this, this was what blew it up. And this is nothing burger compared to a, you know, getting a trade deal between any United States, right, stuff's nothing.

If we were talking about Canadian companies that were contracting American companies to manufacture

or assemble something. And then send it back then those Canadian companies could decide to put French, which I'm sure they would. But French language labels on them as well. But when you're saying the stuff that we're importing or exporting from the US to Canada, must have French language labels as well.

Well, my gosh, that's racist. I'm sure there's one or two people in Ontario that speak Spanish. You know, it just, you can't put that kind of, well, that's asked on that unless there's an agreement, again, between the companies, the private sector.

But it's the same thing as, right, if it's between the private sector, that's fine. I got no problem with that at all. But that's like saying that in very high Hispanic areas, the United States demanding the Canada must ship us things that are in Spanish and English. Right.

The private sector does that. But that's not the private sector to do it.

Why do they know Russian from Athens?

And where do they come from now on? Of course in Europe, in Paris, in the United States, with the highest standards of the world. A lot of thousands of Russian companies are waiting for them to be ready for their flight and daily life.

They are the Russian D.E. The US soccer podcast. I'm your host, Megan Klingaburk. And after interviewing so many dudes during this month's World Cup, I'm so happy to be back with my US-1/2 players.

I know the US-Men's National Team has changed.

“How I think about myself, how I think about being an American,”

how I think about being on a team. It's one year out from that World Cup, and we're going to talk about the brightest prospects in US soccer. Are you ready?

We're going to do it.

The US soccer podcast presented by Henkel.

And listen on your favorite platform. Meanwhile, the Canadian broadcasting company on Thursday, defended an internal memo directing the reporters and editors to refrain from describing the September 11, 2000 attacks as terrorist attacks, telling Fox News digital the guidance reflected.

It's long-standing practice of attributing terms. It considers politically and emotionally loaded. See, that's the bias right there. It was a terrorist attack. Yeah.

Irrespective of your politics, it was a terrorist attack. That shows the bias. That shows now the CBC is 70% funded by the Canadian government. Yeah, right. And I believe they did this in 2023.

Also, they talked about this in 2023. Yeah. It is a practice of the CBC to exercise extreme caution before using the words terrorist and terrorism. Well, yeah, it would be too.

I'm very careful. If somebody robs a bank, I don't say it's terrorism. Right. If they go into a bank with a bomb vest on and set up the bomb, then it's a suicide bomber that goes into a bank,

then that's terrorism. Especially if it's a organization that's a terrorist group. Yeah. Right. Lone actor, that politically is doing it for somebody.

I mean, if you're going in with the vest, just to rob the bank and walk out, that technically would not be an actor. Right.

“That's why I included setting the bomb off and killing people, suicide bomber.”

That would not be terrorism. Terrorism. That would be terrorism in my mind. Yeah, but terrorism is a political motivation. That's actually the definition of terrorism.

To create fear. Yeah. And that would be a community. That would be another people that would be killed. Right.

But that would be great. I know the definition of terrorism. Right. Yeah. Right.

I'm just saying that to no one would be killed. But the entire point is we're very careful of using it. We're not going to attribute it to something that isn't terrorism. We're not going to say a speeding ticket is terrorism. Because they're trying to say live in my town.

They're trying to say, you know, we're being very careful with it. We know you're not. You're ignoring it. Oh, no. You're saying there is terrorism.

That, by the way, is political motivation. Absolutely it is. That's the left. Right.

“That's how the left operates all over the world.”

Right. They want to ignore terrorism because they believe it'll make terrorism go away. They believe they can become friends with the terrorists. They believe that they can appease Hamas.

Gaz for Palestine. That's a thing.

It's just absolutely unbelievable.

You know, it's an, and people see right through it. There's, there are two sides of this entire story. The people are, who are okay with them ignoring terrorism. And the people who know that they're just trying to ignore terrorism. And that's their only motivation.

We're just going to be careful and walk on egg shells.

“Well, their last prime minister, remember the whole thing?”

Well, we don't say human, what, what, what, what was it? We don't say mankind. We say person kind. He had to interrupt somebody based on that. It's, this is who they are.

Control language. By the way, that's not walking on egg shells anymore. That's controlling the language through the media, but eventually of the public too. That's what, that's what the problem was when this administration, when Trump came back into power.

And it was early on in his second term when Vice President Vance and others had a conversation with other nations.

We have sent people to war. These Americans have died for free speech, and you guys are working it taking it away. We may not be enemies, but on that hill we are.

“But if there's ever a clear case of the definition of terrorism, it would be 9/11.”

You cannot get, there isn't even wiggle room there. Right. It was an act of terrorism by the definition of terrorism. And so what they're saying is the CBC saying we wish to ignore the definitions. The well-accepted definitions of terrorism, which 9/11 is.

You cannot get a clear example of the definition of terrorism. And what they're saying is we just choose to ignore that definition. Yeah.

And I'm not surprised by that. Look, the CBC doesn't do anything that our mainstream media hasn't done.

Well, again, if they go around, they walk around, tiptoe around, and it's not just in Canada. It's all over the world, including the US. When they tiptoe around, well, he screamed, "Alahu Akbar" before shooting or doing what he did. Well, they're not quite sure what he said. They're not some people say they heard him say something.

They'll go out of their way to ignore it when it's clearly terrorism. Right. And we all know it. It's very clear. A nickel-back concert.

Terrorism. Absolutely. Perfect example of terrorism. It's terrorism. Audio terrorism.

That right there is much torture. Horses and water boarders. I'd rather be waterboarded by Leonard Skinnerd. I'm not sure what that means, but it's true. I know.

I didn't know it meant either, but it made me laugh. Johnny Van Sant looking down at you. You're no free bird. We're waterboarding you. I had a friend who, you know, told me one time,

she's a huge fan of nickel-back. We're no longer friends. It's okay. We really have nothing against nickel-back. We're just having fun, folks.

Beat for yourself. But I'm not.

“I think I saw one clip from one nickel-back video years ago.”

I don't know that I've heard a complete nickel-back song. I don't have an opinion on doing it. I was somewhere where I heard the end of a song. This sounds familiar. It's not bad.

And it was nickel-back.

I can't even tell you what the song was.

Yeah. A torture is Terry Jacks. Seasons in the Sun. Oh, man. He's Canadian, right?

Yeah. All right. Let's have that discussion. Here are Canadian terrorism. Take him back.

Now, Ann Murray, I can handle-- I love him.

“No bird's okay because it reminds you of Florida, you know,”

that's basically free of merit.

Well, let's talk about the good Canadians. All right. So, counter-reaves. Ann Murray. Brian Adams.

I like Brian Adams. Rush? Of course. Of course. Did you see?

It should be... Rush Lake. Yeah. Exactly. No, we want that.

Rush Lake.

“Lake. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw a period like that. I'm a media yesterday. I was in the part that's in the west. Of course the part that's in we're going to embrace it fully.”

Yeah, we're going to be we're the international date line that little dotted line goes across. Yeah, there's going to be even though you can be you can be on that other side of that little dotted line that crosses a part because unless you land on the land, you know, you're not officially in Canada yet the same thing with the United States, you know, you and right, you know, when you hit land is when they arrest you, I could see bullies out there. You're entering. Yeah, rush lake. Yeah, you know, the side Lake America little bullies set up in the middle of the lake.

That's probably going to probably going to see that on somebody's map, you know, that that Ontario and the then the Canadian territory, you know, Lake Ontario and then.

Lake America and the American territory. You know, it's like Nickelback. I don't care. I really don't care. I don't care. I don't care. That's when you would that's when you would make people angry. That's when it gets like why do you one huh? Yeah, like Murray and Murray. Don't we have a lake Murray, like just north or here up in Oklahoma? Do we? I don't even know. I think there's I think there's one up there. Yeah, up in Oklahoma. Yeah. Yeah, I look. I don't care what you call it. As long as you're not going to tax me before. It's a it's a large body of water that does not freeze on the wintertime because the water circulates from the bottom back up to the top.

That lets, you know, it's it's Lake Erie freezes like Ontario does not, which is why water town gets as much snow as they do. Right. It crosses all that. Yeah. Now if you start renaming golden pond from the movie on golden pond, we're going to have some words. Edmund Fitzgerald Lake. No, I could see that. Yeah. All right. Yeah, I could see that, but it's it's it's just I'm like, what are we doing? What's what's going on here? You know, looking at social media yesterday, I actually said to myself, I have more of a life than these people.

Well, it's like the person in front of you that you know, if you're at a fast food restaurant and you've been standing in line for a minute, and then the person in front of you gets up there. Like they haven't been staring at the menu for 20 minutes, and they can't decide, like what are we doing? Well, Canadians were side Canadians were going to change the name to Tim Horton Lake, but then they find out that Tim Horton is now an American company or Tim Horton here's a who

“Dr. Seuss Lake, I don't know. I don't care. The lake we're going out to the lake. I'm sure that's what the locals say.”

Yeah, the the dumbest quote of the week was was from Abdul al-sayed.

“Yeah, for Michigan government comparing the mutilation of children's genitals to circumcision.”

Yeah, circumcision and castration same thing. Another getting the bazaar was fair every night every currently and Gary McNamara red eye radio. And he is there currently and I'm Gary McNamara download our red eye radio app today and you can listen when and where you choose and thank you.

“All right, so it's the Friday show so clearing off the desk.”

All right, two different stories here lots of lots of really interesting stats first one from the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal on the numbers of life expectancy in the United States.

All right, okay, and they right here pessimist on the political left and right can't find much good to say about America these days. So I was to help Americans to allow us to help American life expectancy hit a record in 2024 as death spell from most major causes according to a centers for disease control and prevention report this week. Life expectancy at birth rose to 79 years of age from 78.4 in 2028 surpassing the pre pandemic high of 78.9 in 2014. That statistic reflects the average number of years newborns are expected to live if mortality trends stay constant over their lifetime changes in these statistic from year to year reflect changes in public health.

“Life expectancy for the most part plateaued last decade amid rising drug overdose deaths because remember it's it's not that the average person lives to 79 years of age.”

If you don't get in an accident that includes all accidents drug overdoses murders everything so life expectancy plateaued last decade after rising for drug overdose deaths which offset declining death rates from cancer and heart disease.

Then COVID wiped out most of the country's life expectancy gains since 2000 but life expectancy is now bounced back as a US has recovered from the pandemic and deaths from most other causes decline.

The CDC said the increase in life expectancy in 2024 primarily owed to declining death rates from unintentional injuries including drug overdoses. COVID heart disease cancer and homicide we know homicide way down life expectancy would have been even higher if not for a small increase in deaths from the flu in 2024 and 2025 that was particularly a bad flu season and nutritional deficiencies. The complicated way this statistic is calculated and relatively small changes from year to year can obscure the larger improvements in public health over time.

Age adjusted mortality rates have fallen by 17% since 2000 and 30% from 1990 notwithstanding the opioid epidemic and increase in chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity. That rates adjusted for age from heart disease have declined. Listen to this here 39% since 2000 and 62% since 1980 and for cancer 31% since 2000 and 33% since 1990 we talked briefly yesterday about that the medicine that the FDA approved six months early. We're paying for cancer. Yeah, people with severe stage four double their life expectancy.

Really interesting you know where we're going on so on so many of these you know on cancer to begin with but down 31% and 33% since since 1980 for cancer. Much of the progress stems from improved medical treatments as we all know. So there you go. I just want to make sure we got that one in there. So there's some good news. The other thing is interesting article in national review and they use a lot of statistics from the 2024 United States data center energy usage report done by the Berkeley lab energy analysis and environmental impact and this is on data centers.

Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, they know the panic. No, it's just become a political problem.

One of the top reasons American site for opposing data centers is their excessive water use yet the notion that data centers or guzzling the nation's reservoirs is to put it softly fiction based on the most recent figures from the Berkeley lab as we told you about the 2024 analysis by the United States data centers consume 17.4 billion gallons of water each year.

“That sounds like an enormous amount until you realize the nation consumes tens of trillions of gallons even including data centers indirect water consumption via the electricity generation needed to power them.”

They account for less than 1% of the country's total water consumption data centers use less water than the nation's golf courses or California's almond industry.

Yes, data centers water demands are expected to grow dramatically over the coming years, but it will still remain a tiny percentage of overall use. And they are becoming more water efficient through recycling techniques more importantly data centers must go through the same process of acquiring water as any other business or development either by buying water rights from existing holders or by applying for a new withdrawal permit depending on their location. If not data centers, Americans might wonder where all their water is going. Talk about Western residents are inundated with the stories of the Colorado River, you know that right in 2023 the governor of Arizona moved to halt new housing construction around Phoenix for fear of a groundwater shortage.

“Humanities across the country are implementing voluntary mandatory drought restrictions on households to conserve water we my neighborhood. For example, we can only water our lawns to stand and Friday.”

I'll be busy today. Many people assume that most of the country's fresh water goes to the public supply available for homes and businesses right since that's their primary interaction with water. The truth public supply accounted for 12% of water withdrawals in 2015 the most recent year for which full accounting is available that they're there far behind. All the water from utilities that float into bathrooms kitchens swimming pools spray down the lawns and gardens all those billions of gallons make up just 12% of the total water supply used the lion share of withdrawals 41.3% is for thermal electric power electric plants heat large volumes of water into steam to spend their turbines.

Then use additional water to condense the steam back into liquid and repeat the cycle because the water they use is recycled power plants ultimately return the vast majority to the source thus the sector considered the largest water user in America is not the largest consumer.

“The honor belongs far in a way to agriculture from 2010 to 2020 crop irrigation consumed more than 10 times as much water as public supply and power generation.”

Combine in western states water is even more skewed towards irrigating the desert for the 11 states traditionally counted in the American West irrigation share of water withdrawals range from 59% in Washington to 96% in Montana agriculture share of water consumption is likely higher for comparison public supply responsible for no more than 20% of water withdrawals in any western state.

And as little as one to two percent in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.

So as they go down through with they say to address the worsening shortages water must be treated economically as the scarce resource it is it now is no longer is an unlimited public good that requires putting a price on it and letting a new market determine the most efficient use based on who was willing to pay. Such water markets can be implemented without resending farmers longstanding usage rights in fact they could make existing water rights more valuable. The entire thing is what they're saying is with as we have said before Trump is right.

Yeah, right on AI data centers. You can work a way to use them. Yeah, just like we do with the thermo electric plants that heat heat steam you can still heat it you can still use it and you can recycle it.

The only thing that can is a shift away from resource inefficient crop irrigation, which is best facilitated by fluid markets.

“Well again, you know, the states let the states handle it the way they're going to handle it.”

The one thing and I saw an article just a few days ago that talked about the AI companies right now are looking at this now more and more as a political battle they realize they're facing political headwinds here. This is the infrastructure required in order to do the full roll up. And it's for them the great concern is, is it, well, it actually is. It's already the Nimbee just like with nuclear power plants. It's the Nimbee effect. And there seems to be a very clear divided line. There's no in the middle.

It's either you're okay with it or you're not.

And most people who say you're okay with it, they're okay with it in their neighborhood and their community and their state. There's an asterisk and it's you're going to have to build your own power plant, you're going to have to provide your own water. You cannot be an added drain, a disproportionate drain on either. Let the states handle that and if they know that, if those companies coming in know that, that will be up to them to facilitate that. Can I start a conspiracy theory here?

Yes, there's a reason that it's no longer called Lake Ontario and Lake America. Trump is going to put all the AI centers right there on the shoreline of New York and suck all the water from Lake Ontario. I think it's going to do just that.

“By the way, as you should, I want to take care of it for that conspiracy theory.”

You can send that back to me. I get some people going, yeah, what kind of crazy stuff are you talking about on the air? Yeah. Hey, I just wanted to have some fun, start a conspiracy theory there. Right, right now.

No, I think I think that's, you know, it's, you look at it. It's a very simple equation because the last thing they want that these private sector companies want. The AI companies want is to not be welcome if once they start. You know, because the tide did change in some areas. There's one going up about two hours north west of here in the town where my parents lived.

Am I in loss live?

And they're divided and they weren't to begin with to begin with it was like, wow, okay, first of all, infrastructure jobs and building it.

You know, they're, they had built out in fact. They had built out this area where they were going to have essentially temporary housing for those that were going to build the infrastructure. And however long that was going to take. And then the jobs that will be part of that center, that data center long term looked like a positive and then the political wins. As you started out, where I would venture to say, after the people, at least half of the people, a large chunk of the people that are against it don't even know why.

And they may say, "Oh, water and power, but they don't understand the full equation."

“Great article written, I forgot who wrote it last week's saying, "Would we have had an industrial revolution with the paranoia that exists today?”

Could you build a factory anywhere?" Right, no, it's a good question. We are right, I radio. We'll be right back with more red-eye radio with every currently in Gary McNamara. [Music]

He is here, currently I'm Gary McNamara.

“Well, thank goodness, after this weekend, the exhibition season for the NFL is over and we've gone through the entire full exhibition season.”

Well, exhibition season, I've not seen one story about his capernet going to play this year. Yeah, I haven't seen that.

You know, I've always called the, the, for 10 years.

I was 10 years. Yeah, I was called the, the pre-season. I was called the practice season. Exhibition practice, that's what it is. Yeah, yeah.

So it's also a pre-arrested season if you're a cowboy.

“Post the rest poster as if you're a former cowboy's quarterback.”

Oh, my God. Wow. But I just love it normally this time.

I always look for the story.

Capernet is working on it. He's ready at any team is ready. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

It's not going to happen. Maybe it's finally over. Yeah. (Music) This is Riddai Radio on Westwood 1.
