    04-21-26 Part One - Giving Peace Another Chance

    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, peace talks with Iran were expected to begin in Pakistan on Tuesday, but recent reports from Iranian state media have thrown the meetings into doubt. The fragile 2-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran will expire on Wednesday, and there has been no news on extending the truce. Meanwhile Iran says they will not negotiate while under threat. Also mitigating the risk of excavating uranium, Iran's only leverage is their perspective on the US following their intentions, Democrat's disdain for a US victory over Iran, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer leaves the Trump cabinet as Keith Sonderling takes over and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson accused the Supreme Court majority on Monday of overstepping its role to "wordsmith" a lower court in Washington, D.C., in a pointed break from her colleagues in a Fourth Amendment case about whether a police officer had reasonable suspicion to stop a man.

    In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar responds to President Trump and the GOP charges of financial malfeasance and fraud with new financial disclosure filing. Amended filings show Rep. Omar and her husband have modest assets, not the millions reported on an initial filing. Also Alan Dershowitz explains why he became a Republican having first registered as a Democrat in 1959 he says party’s hostility to Israel is too much and President Trump hinted this week that something sinister may lurk behind the disappearance or death of as many as 11 government workers tied to sensitive nuclear or space technology, but those close to the various investigations into the disparate cases say they see no links.

    Introducing Tim Ferriss: Feeling Stuck Right Now? (Use THIS 10-Minute Exercise to Stop Overthinking and Take Action) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty Sometimes we become so fixated on improving our lives that we stop asking a more important question: what actually matters? Jay sits down with Tim Ferriss for something deeper than a discussion on productivity, it’s an exploration of how to live with real intention. Instead of chasing shortcuts or stacking habits, Jay turns the focus inward, examining how our thoughts, emotions, and daily choices quietly shape the life we end up living. Drawing from years of personal experimentation, Tim draws from years of experimentation to reveal a powerful truth: most of what holds us back isn’t a lack of discipline, it’s a lack of alignment, between what we say matters, what we focus on, and how we actually live. Throughout the conversation, Jay returns to a theme he often explores, the tension between achievement and acceptance. In a world that rewards constant hustle and endless optimization, it’s easy to believe we always need to do more, fix more, and become more. Tim opens up about his own struggles with anxiety and obsessive thinking, offering a more grounded view of growth, one that isn’t just about pushing forward, it’s also about knowing when to pause, simplify, and let go of what no longer serves you. In this episode you'll learn: How to Focus on What Truly Matters How to Stop Chasing the Wrong Goals How to Improve Your Life by Subtracting How to Build Better Daily Habits How to Ask Better Questions for Clarity How to Avoid Burnout While Staying Productive How to Break Free from Distractions How to Create Meaningful Progress in Life How to Align Your Actions with Your Purpose Real change often begins with a single shift, paying attention to where your energy goes, questioning what truly matters, and giving yourself permission to slow down when needed. Growth isn’t just about doing more; it’s about doing what’s right for you, with intention.

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

    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Gary flies solo this morning as Eric takes some personal time off. We begin by reports that Ilhan Omar says she isn’t a multimillionaire by blaming an accounting error. President Trump has suggested the Minnesota congresswoman profited from a massive welfare fraud scandal still being investigated. Congresswoman Omar and her husband Tim Mynett have a net worth between $6 million to $30 million according to their 2025 disclosure. However disclosures from the end of 2023 showed the pair had ownership stakes that only add to the value of just above $51,000. Also the latest on the war with Iran with audio from CBS' 60 Minutes on Iran's nuclear capabilities, hundreds of commercial tankers are stranded on both sides of the Strait of Hormuz after Iran shut the critical chokepoint on April 18, halting traffic and leaving crews trapped amid reports of gunfire and "traumatic experiences" on board. Also the "ups and downs" of negotiating with Iran, President Trump wants uranium enriched nuclear dust by sending in excavators and it's 4/20 meaning pot smokers will celebrate today along with Earth Day this Wednesday.

    04-20-26 Part Two - Schumer's Beef with FIFA

    In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Gary flies solo this morning as Eric takes some time off. We begin this hour with Sen. Chuck Schumer calling for FIFA to cover the full rail cost for New Yorkers attending the World Cup as NJ Transit train ticket prices are set for $150 to get to MetLife Stadium for matches. Schumer released a statement on Sunday calling on FIFA to pay the full fair which is astronomically higher than the regular cost to travel from Penn Station to the Meadowlands, while understanding that "FIFA is set to rake in approximately $11 billion in revenue off the tournament while New York fans are being hit with $150 NJ Transit round-trip tickets to get to the game." MetLife Stadium will host eight matches during the World Cup, including the final on July 19. The usual price is $12.90 for the Meadowlands train from Penn Station, but it will rise to $150 beginning June 13 and ending July 19. Also Harvard's grade inflation experiment gets an "F", Bill Maher confronts Rahm Emanual on education, Democrats need a white man to "sell" their insanity, former astronaut Mark Kelly uses his "space credentials" to get his point across on school vouchers and Eric Swalwell's frivolous spending of campaign dollars.

    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we take a look at the latest polls in the California Governor's race. The scrambled race for California governor left in the wake of Eric Swalwell’s sexual misconduct allegations isn’t officially Gov. Gavin Newsom’s mess. But it’s one that many top Democrats want him to consider trying to clean up. Also Democrats are once again playing identity politics by wanting a "white male Christian man" to lead their party, audio from Kathy Griffin in remorse over the Eric Swalwell scandal, the national popular vote interstate compact, the price of secondary market hockey tickets, audio from Mitt Romney laying out the mid-terms, audio from CNN on President Trump's approval rating with senior voters and Gary's experience with "Independent Bob".

    04-16-26 Part One - Swalwell Scandal Intensifies

    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Democrats on Wednesday over mounting sexual assault allegations against former Rep. Eric Swalwell, questioning what they knew and why no one spoke out sooner. Swalwell announced Monday that he would step down from the House after four women came forward accusing the longtime congressman of assault. The mounting allegations, which ultimately derailed his political future, followed his decision to exit California’s 2026 gubernatorial race just a day earlier. Also Justice Sonia Sotomayor apologizes for ‘hurtful’ public comments about Brett Kavanaugh on immigration, millions across 1,000 miles in path of triple threat as parade of severe weather continues through weekend and comedian Dave Chappelle called out Republicans in a new interview with NPR, accusing members of the political party of “weaponizing” transgender jokes.
