Show notes

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Senator Elizabeth Warren, the ranking Democrat on the banking committee that is overseeing his confirmation, said Kevin Warsh would be little more as Fed chairman than Trump's "sock puppet". Trump has suggested that, if confirmed, Warsh would conform to his agenda and lower interest rates, which the president argues is necessary to boost the US economy. The former Fed governor said the independence of America's central bank "is essential" and vowed that he would be committed to preserving its self-governance.

Also redistricting in Texas and gerrymandering in Virginia, audio from CBS on a mayor in Kansas defying state voter laws, audio from Senator John Thune on the Republican's plan on funding DHS and a NY Post article on California residents fleeing the state and heading to Texas over elevated property taxes and a widening affordability gap.

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.

MetLife Stadium will host eight matches during the World Cup, including the final on July 19.
