03-06-26 Part One - No More Noem

No, not at all. I'm so sorry. You're so sorry.

You're all right? Yes, exactly.

“I'm so sorry that I'm just a part of the studio.”

I'm just a part of the studio or a part of the studio. I'm sorry. I'm not as sorry. I'm sorry. - You're right. I'm sorry. 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 Factor Studios. This is Red Eye Radio. All across America, he is Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome.

Thanks for being here. Thank you. Yeah, we made it to Friday. We did make it to Friday. Oh, man. What a day yesterday, I can't see. It just doesn't stop.

Christian, I'm didn't make it to Friday. I mean, professionally.

Well, finally, I mean, we've never been a fan of hers.

We've never been a fan. I would hope that Pam Bondi is next. I would hope so. So I would really hope so there, you know, you and I were talking to the preshow meeting. I've said, I don't know how many times I've mentioned it on the air, but too many of these individuals. And it's kind of the influencer approach, because some of the influence is kind of to me have this in them.

Like they're running into Trump's wheelhouse. He's the captain of the ship. They're running in taking the wheel saying, I'll do this. I'll do this. They're going because that, if you think about it. That was part, not all, but part of the maga thing was proving your more maga than anybody else. And then toward the, you know, I won't say the end.

But here lately, it's been, before it started, you know, to erode with MTG and others. It was Trump's not maga enough. I'm more maga than Trump. I mean, it just, that was the feeling. They weren't actually saying that, that just seemed to be the feeling. I don't want a social media star in the administration or in office. Now, the exception would be Trump who not only is a social media star.

He's a TV star. He's been famous for a long time. And he's, he's also owns a social media company. Now, having said that, he's also based on his actions as president.

“We talked about this, I think yesterday or day before, he actually is a, he's a great president.”

He just happens also to be a great president. And he is the captain. And so this, this, this social media approach. We talked about Pam Bondi. I think it was yesterday. And we have a few times.

You know, the whole thing with the binders.

That was a soup show like I've never seen.

And it was horrible. And with Christy Nome, you know, the story got out about the affair. I think we mentioned it once or twice. The rumor of the affair with Cori Lewandowski. And then, you know, she was being questioned by the Senate the other day. And didn't, and never said no when she was asked about it.

And her husband is seated right there by her. I think it was behind her. And that went on for too long. And one of the Democrats that forget who it was said, "We're just waiting for you to say no.

That you're not having an affair or didn't have an affair with Lewandowski." And the word is, and these are source stories, of course. Trump was furious about that. I don't think that's the entire reason.

“I think Trump hasn't been happy with Christy Nome.”

And I go back to the meeting that she demanded a face-to-face with the president after everything that was going on in Minnesota. And all of that fell out. She demanded a meeting with him. And I thought to myself, "That's a wrong approach." If that's true, again, a source story.

But she did have the meeting. We know that. And would Pan-Bondi, I mean, there are,

the handling of the whole binder thing with the Epstein files, and social media influencers.

“What do you think? What in the world are you thinking?”

So I don't know. I don't know where it's going to go with Pan-Bondi. I do know that there are rumblings that people that work under Pan-Bondi are not happy at all. I don't know. To what extent, I don't know how many numbers we're talking about, how many people.

But the president, you know, when, if you go back to the whole, and this started in, I think 2015, 2016, his little warm room that he set up, when he first started running in Trump Tower, and it was basically at the top of the board

was let Trump be Trump.

Now, that takes on a whole million ten years later.

But I would say it applies certainly after he becomes president, you can't act as if you're running the show. You need, you're serving at the pleasure of the president, and I think if you look at Marco Rubio, it appears, you know, again, I'm not there with him every day,

but it appears he's doing exactly what he should be doing as Secretary of State. And he's not backing down from the media. He gets a very good grade for me so far on being Secretary of State.

“That's, you know, that's what you want to see.”

It would make me, with this particular president, if I was in any of those positions, not that I'm qualified. But if I were, I'd be reporting to him like he is the captain. I'd be constantly communicating with him or through Susie Wiles, really, is where most of the communication goes.

Even at that level, unless you're Marco Rubio, you don't get as much face time as you would think. But the point being, I think that would be my approach. I'm, I'm here to serve his agenda. Well, I think when you, you talked about Pam Bonnie going in in demand.

Excuse me, Christy, no, I'm going in in demanding a meeting. I believe that's because she was ticked off. Look, it was Stephen Miller who came out and said,

here's what we're going to do.

Yeah. We're going to have a quota. This isn't enough. We need more. We need more.

Yeah. The president was behind that. Oh, no. The president, we talked about that. The president didn't come out and say,

no, just go after criminals. What happened was it backfired against them. Every, they believed Stephen Miller and Christy known believed that if they publicized and true out of over the top rhetoric,

even before the facts were in remember, she said, this was domestic terrorism. And then had had to pull that back. Right. Because it was because it was moments like that.

Because in those scenarios. Because homens like, well, I don't know whether it was or not. You know, he, what you could tell. He was not happy with that at all. She, I think she went in and she said,

I did what you told me to do. It didn't work. And now you're angry at me. No, that's an example. There's a on the issue.

Absolutely. 100%. But the idea of, again, if it's true, she demanded that meeting. It doesn't matter how mad you are.

You don't get mad at Donald Trump. Right. Well, you do. If you believe you're doing exactly what he tells you to do. I'm, and then he, then, then he, then it gets reverse on a surface. I know what you're saying.

Yes, when you, when you talk about the issue, yes. But I understand what you're saying. Yeah. You don't go. You don't go things back at this particular president.

You know what I mean? But he's still bad. Still wasn't enough to let her go.

“I think it was, what happened yesterday.”

Oh, no, I guess.

I think it was, I think that the $200 million,

where she's featuring herself and, and then the, you know, and she talked about that. Whether she's sitting. Whether she's actually having it or not. And, and the, the thing is

that her going before, you know, the, the Senate was a perfect opportunity to just pound on Democrats about not wanting to defend the Department of Homeland Security or, you know, while we're at war with Iran. Yeah.

And, you know, and to pound them on it over and over again. And it doesn't matter what you think of tilless. But him, you two were public incentives him and Kennedy, going after her. That's the last thing that Trump wanted.

Yeah. Uh, he claims he had no idea that this $200 million was being spent.

to put the Democrats and, you know, back on, you know, their back foot. And he was saying that. He was saying in that hearing that he approved that. Right.

And he, he, the, the quote is he differs with that opinion. Yeah. And, and, you know, that's the thing. Again, the whole idea of letting Trump be Trump means you might be doing something opposite tomorrow.

And it might be the opposite of what he told you the day before.

“The point being is that you have to follow us lead.”

We talk about that meeting with Susie Wiles. And it was a 75 to 100. You know, basically surrogates. That were there at that. Yeah.

Chicken and steak buffet. Yeah. And basically, you guys need to stay on point. He doesn't have to stay on point. You guys need to stay on point.

Basically. That's, and, and. Well, that, no, you're, you're right. That's what, that's what, that's what. And when you look at, for example,

when you look at a Marco Rubio, he's always on point.

When you look at a Tom Holman, he's always on point. Yeah. You never get the feeling that Tom Holman wants to be in front of the camera to with any type of over the top rhetoric or hyperbole at all. And the same thing with Rubio.

Yeah. Now, Rubio is passionate and strong. He's a different personality than Holman. Right. And I mean, Holman comes out.

You know, so many of the times at Holman's front of the media he goes, do you understand what's going on here? Yeah. Here's, do you know how many? Do you know how many women I've seen that have been brutalized

and raped and children and this, do you understand this? Right. You're sitting here talking about, as if there's no consequences. And he's wonderful at doing that. He's the best.

He's. And, and communication skills.

We've talked about this. We talked about the first Trump administration.

The first Trump administration. The biggest challenge he had was communicating. Yeah.

“And that's what's maddening and has been maddening for such a long time”

is that if you take what Trump believes, the vast majority of what Trump believes the American public overwhelmingly agrees with him when his name is inserted into it. Yeah. You know, boom, it goes the opposite way, but they were behind him.

Think about this. He ran on the economy and immigration. And he's looking at the polls and saying, that's where I'm underwater. Why is this?

You gotta go. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think there's something also to the idea that, I mean, you had the, and I was telling you that if you, if you saw the first,

or the, it was the first I saw, but it was the first set of ads from Jasmine Crocket and the Senate race that she lost in the primary Senate race in Texas. At the end, it said in peach known. You know, this was something they wanted to do in the wake

and the immediate wake of what was going on in Minnesota. And it wasn't going to get to that point, but they wanted her out. And Trump had his own reasons for wanting her out. I don't know what this does and how it works in terms of in, in getting the funding done for DHS.

But the funding needs to get done.

“And the president right now, I believe, is in full mode of,”

you've got to get this funding done. Because there, I mean, it's stupid we're even having this conversation. And now we've known God for whatever reason. Then, and, and, and, and, and, and, and Tom Holman in place, and everything is settled down.

You're not seeing these things day to day.

Then there really is, there never was a reason for defunding them

or holding back the funding. No. But it, it's, now you've really got no excuse. You've got to get this done. And DHS needs to be fully funded.

Perry. And so I don't, I don't know. I don't know where it goes with hand body. I look at it. And again, it, it's about the job at hand.

You know, I mean, taking on the hot button issues, social media approach as attorney general. It just doesn't work. The binder thing was really the pinnacle of that.

That failed drastically. That was a massive fail. And I know, yes, I mean, CNN was talking about it. And you saw a lot of social media about it.

I'd probably because of all the war news.

But that, you know, Republicans Trump and his second term is more popular than George Bush or Obama.

Yeah. And that's great. Fine. You need your own people behind you. But there's also the thing is, well, do you support Trump?

Yeah. What's the other option? Right. But I'm not, you know, I'm a conservative. And I agree with Trump probably.

You know, as I've said, normal Republicans probably 60% of the time. Trump probably 70 to 75%. And so there is no option because the other side, as Trump said, quote, crazy. Yeah.

“And so there is, but independence is where you need to be concerned about.”

Doesn't matter whether you have your own party behind you. It's whether you've been able to communicate effectively to independence. Yeah. Yeah.

And that's so far has not been done in the second term.

Well, the biggest hurdle is. And it should be because independence should agree with the vast majority of what Trump is doing. And the biggest hurdle is number one, affordability. Yeah. And number two, again, you look at the thing with ice.

We understand the radicals going after ice and everything else. But there's a reason things have settled down with the Tom home and approach. Now implemented. That should have been the approach all along. But it's number one, it's safer for everybody that's that's in that scenario.

The agents. It's safer for the people in the community. And it can't be this social media soup show. It just can't.

“We are led, I radio brought to you by hot shot secret.”

Hi. I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller at a roadside inspection inspectors may ask to see supporting documents. These documents can include bills of waiting, itineraries, schedules, or equivalent documents that indicate the origin and destination of each trip. They can also include dispatch or trip records, expense receipts related to on duty/not driving periods, electronic mobile communication transmitted through a fleet management system, and payroll records, settlement sheets,

or equivalent documents that indicate payment to a driver. Drivers using paper logs must also keep toll receipts. Supporting documents must contain the driver's name, carrier assigned identification number, or vehicle unit number that can be linked to the driver, the date, the name of the nearest city town of village, and at the time.

He's here calling on Gary McNamara. Just to analyze this whole week politically, after the primaries in Texas and North Carolina, you can tell by the president with the runoff here in Texas,

where he wants Pakistan to basically drop out.

In this whole thing about a deal, then you saw that Gonzalez is not going to run now. He dropped out of the Congressperson, who apparently had the affair, and admitted to having the affair. She committed suicide. And you look, and plus, the immediate attacks on Talariko that we saw from the Republicans.

They were already for his all of his quotes. And I was saw, we'll play the audio a little bit later on, but I saw Mark Halper and saying, if it was the election was held today, it was based on the polls. And with the reaction of the Republican Party and the president here,

it would be a wipeout. Yeah. Major losses in the House, and right now, based on the polls today, the Republicans would lose his Senate. Yeah.

And the challenge is there with, you know, the Warren ran. I came in today. And when here we go, the challenge you face is gas prices. Oh, no. I went to fill up my truck to staff and in.

And wow, the jump was huge. Yep. I saw 319, and it was 260 something just a couple of days ago. Oh, yeah.

“I think I made 339 or something crazy like that.”

Yeah. [MUSIC PLAYING]

What? A book? A book? What's the plot? Have Nutella vergessen?

Me too.

Schmeckt is already in the mood.

Not Nutella. It's Nutella. What's going on in the world? In the back of the street? A book in the Balsala of Blue.

“And Maggi, on every corner of the world.”

This world is a lot of fun. Great Britain. From the top of the island in Italy, to the top of the world. [MUSIC PLAYING]

You're listening to Red Eye Radio. From the Relief Factor Studios. [MUSIC PLAYING] We are Red Eye Radio. He's our Corly, and I'm Gary Magger.

So when I saw yesterday Gonzales, because Trump had come out and said, the stories are out there. They want him to resign. They're not resigned.

They want him not to run again.

And then when you saw the whole thing of him getting involved, and actually telling him, "Packs, it wouldn't be a good thing." If I endorse the other guy, I just love it. I haven't decided who to endorse. But if I do endorse Corny and it wouldn't be a good thing,

for you to stay in. It's like, well, you've sort of, sort of-- Pretty much just said it. Well, and everybody was saying that. They thought that it would be--

it definitely would be Corny that he chose.

“And I think that had some magga rank and file.”

I don't know how you define today. I don't know how you define magga rank and file. I think I do. I do. Social media.

Because a political apparently had an interview with them. And there was a story out there. GOP was-- I'm-- it's funny because it's sitting in my hands right now. And it wasn't planned. I just-- I was stapling my stuff together during the bottom of the hour

to hang it on stage. On stage. Yes. Can you do the stapler guy again? You had to go get some staples for--

Yes. For you. You stapless. Yes. So it's as GOP restrainer say Trump abandoned them.

And these are-- it's all sourced. You know, inside the Republican Party. Yeah.

“And so we always-- we always ask, you know, sour stories today.”

Are not the same as sour stories 30 years ago. It's like-- is this thing even true? I know, yeah. But-- and it was like, you know, they're saying he's abandoning us because, you know, we were told that he would, you know,

not start any new wars. Right. And, you know, they didn't believe in intervention and all that. Yeah. Right.

So when I-- because the surrogate said it, it might have said it in a different way. We never believed it with Trump. We never did. We never thought Trump was a isolationist. No.

We always thought-- by what he did in his-- especially when he did in his first term,

you were looking whether he would be or not. And he just has a different way of doing it. He wants to do everything he possibly can. Not to have to put boots on the ground for a long period of time. If you think about, in fact, using the Moab in Afghanistan,

that happened in the first few months of his first term. But I'm going after ISIS and Eastern Afghanistan. But he did say, which proves he listens to the show. Yeah. I thought about that because--

Because we were talking about, no, me yesterday. But we were talking about-- we were talking about it before. Yeah. You know, when you look at so many of the people that started MAGA that are no longer supporters of Trump.

Right. We're going to have them are the ones that are much more isolationist. Right. And jumped on board. I mean, the story just talked about the fact of--

and there's been other stories out there. What does JD events think of all of this? Well, it's funny to be-- I was thinking of MTG the other day. MTG put out-- something I forget what it was.

And I thought to myself, you know, she's not quite Liz Cheney. But she would have dinner with Liz Cheney. You know what I mean? And that's a vast difference.

Or, you know, where she will-- Or sleep over with pillow fights. Ah, the-- I don't-- I don't-- I don't-- Well, watch a rom-com on Netflix and have pillow fights.

I'll bring the one. But it's where Trump said-- Because let me just-- let me just-- Let me just get to a way that political road it here to get it exactly right.

Trump in several dozen-- in several dozen interviews in the last few days, brushed off criticism from political allies,

that he ran on, quote,

“"Mega is Trump," end of quote, Trump said.”

This is-- You've been--

You've been saying, yeah.

It's kind of the point I made earlier with-- with-- with-- with-- with no. It doesn't matter. You don't get to be him. He'll change his mind.

He may change directions. You don't get to be him for every reason. You don't get to jump in the wheelhouse and go, I'm-- I'm-- I can-- I can run the ship here. I can take over Mr. President in terms of,

you know, whatever job they're doing. You-- you don't get to do that. And-- and we said it yesterday. This-- it comes-- and everybody was making this-- it was weird contest.

I'm more maga than you are. No, I'm more maga than you are. And-- and it was like-- Trump is maga. Well, you know, it was-- it's sort of sort of like--

and I-- I want to make it-- there's not-- there's not a direct comparison here. But to many of the supporters of Trump, they were the ones in their minds defining what maga is. Where-- and I can't--

Yeah, look at it as sort of like a hope and change. Yes. You know, it's whatever a person believes it is.

“That's a great-- I think it's a great character.”

Because, you know, maga-- you know, maga-- Yes. Because, you know, maga-- Yes.

Make America great again. Right.

You know, and America first.

Now, the challenge that the President has. And I-- I have been in so much agreement with President Trump's foreign policy. Yeah. You know, we went through the whole thing, not illegal. You know, what-- what he's-- everything that he's doing.

He's taking huge risks, so. Because American presidents don't do this. There are always risks. Even if you're doing something right, there's always the risk.

And the risk is here. And you're ready. I'm a grad saying it. And some Republicans are grumbling. Affordability was the issue. He's backed off on illegal immigration.

He's backed off on affordability. And now he's more concerned about doing things in other countries, which, by the way, is an instead of paying attention to the American public, which is an easy meme to write, but it isn't accurate. Right.

The things that he is doing in Venezuela, what, you know, supporting Israel, Iran will weaken Russia, will weaken China, and those are all in the American public's interest. And so, when he had his spokesperson Anne Kelly rejected the idea that the president was forsaking his supporters.

President Trump is courageously protecting the United States from the deadly threat posed by the rogue Iran regime. And that is as America first, as it gets, says, Anne Kelly. But what you've got to realize is that doesn't at all caress the feelings of that one portion of the mega demographic

that believed he was isolationist. He was an isolationist. Right. He believed in isolationism.

We never bought into that, and we told them they were wrong.

Right.

“But the very, very beginning, whether if you want to call that the Tucker Carlson portion”

did you hear he went after Tucker yesterday too? Yeah. But I think I think everything that I've seen this week, I believe is the White House. I could be wrong.

But to me, it smells of Suzy Wiles saying, you, we have to get our act together. You know, look at these internal polls. Yeah. You cannot.

You know, you've got to have at least one branch. You know, of, you know, of the legislature, whether it's, you know, the probably the Senate, you need to keep the Senate. You can't lose the Senate and you've got to do everything possible

because I think everything that was done this week shows after the primaries in Texas and in North Carolina. And then just the polling out there completely is that we've got to get independence back. And like I said, when I saw gas prices just coming in tonight,

I went, oh no. Because that's the thing. Yeah. The president in the people's minds. Forget about what happened in Minneapolis.

And the people's minds, the president has been totally successful

Right. Without question. Right.

And now it's affordability.

And you can say whatever you want.

“And we've said this over and over again,”

to a lot of criticism. But again, we weren't playing tribalism. We were looking at reality. Right. It's not because we're some sort of geniuses.

In fact, you don't need to be a genius to look back and see what destroyed the Democrats in 2024. It was ignoring prices. It was pretending that prices didn't exist or didn't matter. And so you can throw out all the GDP is doing great.

Look at the stock market. Look at this. It means deadly and squat. Because everybody is concerned about affordability. Right.

You know, it's, and, and that's the thing is that you,

the gasoline thing we know. I mean, we know what's behind it. I think a lot of us expected it. But.

“One of the first things in my life said to me was like,”

you know, I mean, she was. I won't say happy, but certainly we knew that. I was going after a ran was was likely going to happen. Or if it was going to happen, it was going to happen with Trump. It was going to happen soon.

But she said to me kind of under a breath halfway joking. She goes, you know, my cars on empty. I hope gas prices don't spike. And that was Saturday. You know, as everything was playing out.

And I just, and when I filled up my truck today, I was thinking of her. Think of people just that don't, they're not the ones. They don't, you know, they don't live every, they know about a ran. They know probably that it's related to a ran. But it's the one more thing.

Issue, right? It's the on affordability, the one more thing that we're having to buy. You know, depending on how much you drive. You're having to go to the pump once a week. Maybe a couple of times a week.

Again, depending on how much you're, you're driving. And it's, there are things that just absolutely must be remedied. And there has to be also a new tone. You can't, the going after the criminal element of illegal aliens in the US.

It should always be a priority.

It should always be a priority. It's not what you do, though. It's how you do it. The approach, Tom Holman is, is proof of that. His approach.

Again, it keeps everybody in that scenario safer. People in the community, the agents doing the job. And, and you have an approach that is direct. And Tom, Tom Holman speaks like law enforcement. We've talked about this.

Going back to James Coleman. He speaks like law enforcement. I don't want to hear somebody talk. And it comes off as a social media influence or kind of approach. You know, if you listen to what Marco Rubio, how he talks.

You know, the nature of that job, Secretary of State, is going to be that you're going to be right there. What, along with national security, even with the war. Yesterday, when the president came out and said, "Well, yeah, I'll have a, I'll have a say who becomes the next leader of Iran.

You've just spent this entire week saying it's not about regime change." Now, we know it's about regime change. Just spend all day Sunday, by the way, because Susie Wiles was on a text message meeting with all the surrogates that we're going to be on the Sunday shows. That early that morning, she was sending out the talking point saying,

"This is what we want to convey." Right. You don't need to say that. Of course, you're not. The state's will have some impact, you know, if it's the, if it's the,

the Shaw's son or the other group together, we'll probably have some influence in it. You don't need to say that. Right. Because because that's, that's, if you're trying to keep your base together,

and the whole thing is no regime change, no regime change, when obviously your goal is regime change, otherwise, and I agree with what they're doing here in this particular case. The brand is unique, it's not a rack, it's not Afghanistan. Right.

Completely different animal.

“You're still taking a gamble, but you need to communicate effectively on it.”

And when your whole point is, it's not regime change, and we know what is. Right. But by the end of the week, you're then saying, well, we're going to have to say in the, the government there,

that's the last thing that you want to say. Even if it's in just an advisory role, he said, "I'll have some say in it. You don't need to say that." It grows into something much bigger than something that it might,

that you maybe didn't intend it to be.

You can't do that. We are Red I Radio.

We'll be right back with more Red I Radio.

With every currently, and Gary McNamara. I guess the point is with the affordability and, and a ran. And, you know, we see gasoline prices going up.

“That's why I don't believe that the White House needs a sense of money.”

I don't believe that the White House needs a sense of money. I don't believe that the White House needs a sense of money. I don't believe that the White House needs a sense of money. That's why I don't believe that the White House needs a sense of urgency to get this thing done.

You know, as hard as you can, and as quickly as you can. And we had said this before that, you know, be interesting to see the whole, you know, the Kurds saying that they're willing or might, you know, provide, you know, ground troops and security. That would be huge.

But if you can get this, I mean, it's a gamble.

And, and the gamble is, can you get? Can you disarm the police state portion of a ran? Right. So you can have a transition government and have free elections. They're still going to be exit terrorism.

We know that. That's going to happen to you. You're still going to have, right.

“You're still going to have a, you know, pockets of, of a rebellion after this.”

But can you get to that point? That's the big question because if you can, this is one of the biggest things in modern history. Yeah, we'll present it. We'll have a call. Yes.

Welcome to Good Morning. Thanks so much for being here. Thank you. Wow, I just, as a battle on B. Congress pledges to work tirelessly to expose all sex criminals who aren't in Congress. You know, that thought they took the other day.

“I don't care what the reasoning is. You need to get rid of that fund.”

Yeah. Sorry. You need to get rid of that fund. You cannot have that over Congress. No. No. You cannot, you just can't have that.

You just can't have that.

You're never going to win that with the public.

Never. I think in today's age, probably even more so. You know, if you think about it, there is greater insight. I won't say transparency. But we have greater access to information.

And when you start hearing things, in fact, I think the whole pinnacle of it really is the absteen thing. You know, because what's the idea? The idea is, well, the reason you didn't hear it from like, if Trump were involved, you didn't hear it from Biden,

because Biden didn't want Democrats being exposed. The Democrats don't want to expose any Republicans because the Republicans, you know, would then expose the Democrats that were involved. And they're all just covering up for each other. They're just, well, this is kind of in that same vein.

You can't, as you said it. You can't win it politically. You can't have this. You can't have this. You can't have it.

And you know, if you look at what happened with Gonzales and Texas, you know, this is a scenario that started during the primary season. For his seat, we'll heard used to have that seat.

most of that is empty land.

“But it's geographically, it's a massive district.”

But high profile story of this woman that he had now admits to having an affair with. And she committed suicide in a very gruesome fashion. And it, of course, is upon it came in in the primary season. You know, saying, you know, these things happened. There were, you know, yet witnesses, then they had text messages.

And everything else in the case was building against him. And there's not a winner here based on this woman's death. There isn't a winner.

But politically, you were likely never going to survive.

I don't know for, for Trump, you know, on the thing with Cornin versus Paxton. If the Paxton, if he thinks the Paxton thing may come out, you know, allegations against him and his personal behavior make may work against him. He gets burned if he, you know, jumps on board with Paxton. I don't know, you know, what's going on there, because it was an endorsement,

non-indorsement approached by the president. If I did endorse Cornin, then I would ask, be asking Paxton to step down. I don't, I think I could be wrong. This is complete guess. But I wouldn't be surprised if I'm right. I think it has to do with the polling.

Got nothing to do whether Cornin, you know, was, you know, Cornin was against Trump at times as we know. Yeah.

“I think it's the only thing under consideration is the belief that Cornin can win the seat.”

And they've got to keep the Senate. No, I think that's, I think that's the manager driver. I think that's the manager driver. I don't think it's a money. Right.

Look at the money, the pack money, and Cornin's money that he had. I don't, I haven't done the research to find out how much of that was already in a war chest. But Cornin spent a hundred million dollars. He didn't spend a hundred combined with the pack. The effort in the primary was a hundred million dollars.

That tells you, again,

it's not always about the money.

We've said this, but in this scenario, you, you're going to have to have, you're going to have to fight for every seat, if you mentioned earlier. Look, the idea of losing both the house and the Senate, my gosh. Well, I, and I also think, you know, because there's a thing. Well, you know, Cornin's a rhino, you know, as we heard many times before.

Well, if Trump says he's not. We've had our disagreements, but I support him because we need to have this. Trump has a lot of clout in the party right now. He does. He's got a lot of things.

And as you mentioned, and we see counts. I mean, you're, you're going to, you're going to have to fight for every single one. You're just going to have to place your bet on. And, and when you look at it right now. I mean, and I think that all of a sudden after the Texas primary and everything else.

The turnout, you look at it.

“I think they're looking at this as we've got the only thing that we can do right now is win.”

Doesn't matter where everybody agrees with us, you know, 100% we need to win. Yeah. Because Susie Wallace is probably saying you, Mr. President, you don't want to be in the two years of your term with the Senate and the House under Democrat control. You've got to save the Senate. Now, the point is when you look at it right now, and I'm telling you, I would not be surprised.

If Trump came out and said, well, we've had such success with the tariffs that we're going to lower him from 10% to 3%. You know, or there might be a state coming from a judge and then he would just, but I wouldn't be surprised. A affordability is it. And when you look, let me just make my point here stronger. Here, here we go. Let's get this one story right here.

Washington State Utility wants 30% rate increase California panicking because, you know, the refineries, another refinery left.

I enter from government, you know, the, the, the, the Kurds are a multinational force to help a transition government.

“That will change everything with energy prices at that point. You don't have to worry about it.”

The other thing with the tariffs, now they're just 10%. Not as great in a lot of products as they were, which might be, but I wouldn't be surprised that they came down and said that. Look at this at the states, Washington State Utility wants 30% rate increase California panicking over the fact of, you know, gas prices are going to skyrocket New York. Just see if I save the headlines, bunch of different headlines out there. Here it is, spiking utility prices warn of New York's tough choices to come New York residents hit one day ago with record electricity prices.

The over one million households in New York are significantly behind on payments with utility debt exceeding 2.1 billion.

Hidden cost, many residents are facing sticker shock from transitioning to cleaner energy, from transitioning to cleaner energy. Just see investments in grid upgrades and state climate goals are adding to consumer bills. And so, local men with utilities, the Democrats are panicking in New York right now. You've got what you've got to do. Trump's got to be able to communicate that look.

We put these tariffs into protect American industry. You can sell that. Right. We believe they've been mostly successful. We know the court has dips agreed with us. We're now going to lower tariffs on another 5,000 products. He was able to get, he did it with 200 groceries, items in December, nobody threw a fit.

Yeah.

It didn't lose any support in his own party.

No. You've still keep a 2 or 3% to say, but we're still watching him. So we're keeping the 2 to 3%. We need to raise them. You know, all that out.

But you get rid of it. You dump that. And then you look at the prices and prices start moderating at that point gasoline prices. If they're ran thing could stabilize, you know, a month. And I don't mean that they have a permanent government or elections.

That's going to take a while.

But transition government, security. You're going to have acts of terrorism and things like that. That's going to happen without question. We know that. Yeah.

You have to expect that. Yeah. But the fact is they're not shooting missiles. You've got Saudi Arabia then and the president's saying we've now in talks with Saudi Arabia Syria and Egypt and who else to do peace deals with Israel.

That is going to moderate or decrease the cost of of of oil across the world. The president will be viewed as having one of the great foreign policy victories of his time.

“And that's what you want to do over the next six months.”

You have to do that. Otherwise, you could lose the house and the Senate. Yeah. And I know it's unbelievable because the Democrats, as Trump said, quote, are crazy on the issues. Are crazy.

And the public knows it. But what affects him every day is affordability. This is something they're dealing with every day. Everybody deals with it every day. The gasoline thing is just kind of again, the one more thing problem.

Right? Yeah. And on affordability.

“And I think most people know it's tied to Iran.”

And that if it goes as planned and we can get to a transitional period in their government. And you know, long term of course we'll only know that years and now. But if it looks like it's heading in that direction. Everybody wants that most people want the regime change. They want the -- even though keep in mind, it's not about regime change.

They want that. They want if they believe that the big evil in terms of sponsoring a state-sponsored terrorism is gone. And that there's a new tone in the Middle East with Arab nations working against Iran. And more with Israel. That is mind-boggling in terms of an accomplishment.

I'm with you because I thought about this yesterday with the changes.

“I didn't necessarily see the Christy-nom thing coming this soon.”

But the changes that need to happen need to happen now. You're out of time. So everything has whatever you're going to do. Those moves have to happen now. And you can get away with your base of, you know,

all right, tariffs will remain at 3%, 5%, whatever that magic number is. That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You do that.

You know, the markets will respond.

But more so, you'll see companies that are coming and start to become competitive again, where that had kind of, you know, backed away because they had to start absorbing some of those costs.

“But they did it first and then they started passing it along to the consumer.”

I don't think we've seen the full effect of it because it's fluctuated so much. But if you do that, if he sets the tone, that's the difference. And then what happens afterwards, you, let's say you lose the house. But you keep the Senate. Yeah, well, then you've got two years for the insanity of the Democrats in the Senate.

That's where the, I mean, that's where the, the insanity's in the Democrats in the Senate. But the mega. The mega insanity will be coming from the house. Yeah. And whoever, if it came Jeffries, they'll be promoting because look, look at, right now, look at what's going on.

You know, the whole transgender thing coming back to Virginia was man burger talking about. You saw where they're going to have a course. The course is going to say that January six was an insurrection. Right. We don't know what wasn't.

It wasn't. We don't know what. And so understand how important it is to keep the Senate because the Democrats will do any. They will lie. You know, if I, oh, I got to play the other cut from MSNBC to the MSNL, where, you know, they had the guests on Morning Joe going.

There's no difference between Talarico and they're admitting it. There's no difference between Talarico and Jasmin Crockett. They're both far left.

“You know, that's what their Democratic party is.”

They're crazy on the issues. You've got to be specific. You've got to stay as Suzy while said. And where I would disagree with her is where she said 75 100. You people, but he's the president must stay, you know, on board.

And what is it on the on target? On point on, on point, but the president doesn't know the president needs to be more disciplined than he ever has.

And then he ever has been in communicating why the Democrats are insane and why the critical thinkers are in the Republican party led by him.

And then the day after the election, he can go back to do it. Yes. Yes. Because at that point, he's done campaigning, you know, unless he's going to endorse and campaign for somebody in 28. Or a decide that he's going to run for a third turn.

Yeah. I was going to throw that in them. You got their first. Yeah, we are right. I radio this morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by house products tested trusted guaranteed since 1920 a game changer. That is what health and human services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls a final rule for stocking standards for retailers participating in USDA's supplemental nutrition assistance program.

This new stocking center is going to require them all to have a minimal amount on their shell. A real food and most of them are going to have to double the HHS secretary this week at USDA headquarters participated in the announcement with agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins who explained this final rules context for retailers receiving federal staff funding. No longer if you accept NAF dollars will jelly count as a fruit will jerky count as a protein that starting almost immediately. They have to stock more than double the healthy options that they're currently being required to stock.

I'm Rod Bane reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senox fuels and loops. Get in touch with what I radio told free at 866. May be right. [Music]

So, like I said, we believe there's been a shift this week that the administration has taken serious now the midterms.

And when you look at it, when you look at the state where the Democrats are in right now. It's unbelievable that the Republicans don't win every election, 70 to 30. In any law put it this way. In any toss up state. Yeah. There's no reason that independence on all these issues should be favoring the Democrats.

“You need to communicate effectively. You need to look at this.”

You can see it. Washington State, just three stories today. Washington State utilities. I want a 30% raise. They're panicking in California over where gas prices are going to go because of the lack of refineries. New York. They're panicking over electricity prices yet. They still want to do all the climate change stuff.

If Trump can keep the Senate and continue to promote the insanity of the left that people accept already. They know Democrats know that the Democrats are insane on the radical transgender movement that men can become women. Yeah.

And so they're not bringing any candidates really anybody buys as a moderate.

You know, they tried with Mark Kelly a few years ago. You know, Mark Kelly is no longer. If he was a moderate, he is no longer a moderate. He has embraced the insanity. You win. You win. You keep the Senate. They can't do anything. The discussion. You've got the veto power. You've got the Senate.

They can't do anything. You keep it going. You get this confirmation through the Senate. You know, if there are some that, you know, you still have to get done by them. Judges, whatever you keep them, the Democrats from the Supreme Court. Yeah.

And you have the debate over the insanity of what the Democrats believe. Yeah. And you see the higher prices and all the climate change liberal states that will affect energy prices. No, that's a great point. [music playing]

[music playing] We're Red I Radio. He is here, Crowley, and I'm Gary McNamaras. Uh, download our Red I Radio App today and you can listen when and where you choose. So, to me, that's where you're going right now. If you're not going to get the, the, the house.

And again, that's, that's not a guarantee that you're not going to get the house. I don't know. Things can change drastically. I don't know how the public will respond. If the president is overwhelmingly successful and, and, well, he's, his limited what he can do inside of a ran.

But if a ran, uh, it comes back again and you can see there on their way and there's peace treaties. Yeah. And like I said, I would, I would not be surprised if the president came in and goes, well, that 10% tariff.

Did he ever put officially put that in yet? Was it officially put in the idea?

“Yeah, it, uh, it started, uh, was it this week, I think.”

Yeah. Okay. If, if he cut it down, if he said, look, I realize it's been so successful. Uh, that we decided to cut it to 3%, which, again, would be nothing. That's not going to affect that, that, that would, that would stabilize the market. It would stabilize, it would probably increase the stock market.

401k's would go up. Uh, would be your goal at that particular, uh, uh, point. Prices hopefully will moderate. Gas prices will come down. Uh, after the Iran conflict is, uh, is over and that would be hopefully by April,

right by the end of April, uh, it would, it would come down. And then you start promoting the insanity and you hit the five or six issues where you know the public agrees with you and what you're working at. And if you sit there, you can even say, look, we, yeah, okay, we made some mistakes. Uh, when it came to illegal immigration, but we are doing overall the right thing.

You don't need to go in and explain it. Right. And if they go, well, what mistakes of your man? I go, well, you guys have already covered that one. We're looking to the future. It's about communicating effectively on the issues, the five or six issues where the public stands with you landslide numbers and then even if you do lose the house.

You keep the Senate. You're going to do confirmations. And you know, uh, still at that, uh, at that point, the Supreme Court is anything happens in the next couple of years is, you know, you still get to, you know, be in charge of that. The Democrats can't pack the court for another two years.

But I think more importantly, when I were having the discussion during the bottom of the hour, you get to contrast what is going on.

“And that's why I brought up in Washington State.”

I want to 30% utility increase in California.

The gasoline's going to skyrocket even more, uh, because, uh,

refineries, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you know, uh, pulling out, uh, New York. skyrocketing electricity prices. Those are just three examples. You contrast over that next couple of years, the goal of the Republican Party has to contrast the real things that are going on

in those states compared to, uh, what's going on, uh, and what, you know, you would endorse, you could sit and say, well, we look at Texas. We look at these Oklahoma. We look at Florida. You know, just as an example, there's more states out there.

Yeah. But these are the things when you enact these policies that works better, whenever you have a split legislature, but the president see, you can stop the Democrats from doing anything. And even if you don't have the Senate, you can block a lot of stuff,

but not under reconciliation if they wish to get to, you know,

the 51, uh, they don't like it. They don't have the vice president though at that point, do they? Yeah. Uh, but, but you, uh, but you, you set two years to contrast. My belief is the Democrats don't want to change.

Not my belief. No, it's, it's innovation. I think that's a hundred percent. Yeah. But they don't want to change.

Yeah.

“So you have to look at the long game here.”

And the long game is, and I've said this many times over the last couple of months, even if the Democrats win both houses or one house in November, their long-term prospects are horrible. Yes. Because what they believe the public doesn't buy into.

Look, we talked about socialism the other day. The, uh, pulling on socialism. And Americans believe in socialism as they found out. The pollsters said they don't know what socialism is. Yeah.

And even though they're, no idea what socialism is yet there for something. And when you say free market instead of capitalism, the majority of Democrats support free markets. And socialism was the point where they said, well, in true socialism, you know, you can't own your home.

It's true socialism. The government owns the property. All right, owns the mean of production is not just industry. It means they own your means of production, which means you don't get to own anything either.

There are no property rights for you. Right. And then they found out that actually Democrats by a slight margin agree more. Like, you know, it's within the margin of error. I was like 94.95% in ownership of property.

It's equal with Democrats or with Republicans.

“So all you need to do is you communicate effectively.”

If you listen to the show for a long time, you know, that's what frustrates us more than anything. It's the fact that when you're winning on the issues, but the personalities and the community and the way those personalities communicate can not effectively communicate

to the American public what they already believe. Right. Right. That's what's frustrating. Right.

Well, because, you know, look at tariffs. I don't believe Trump wants to tank the economy. Neither do I. I believe he wants affordability to be fully in place. But there's there are a couple of things.

I mean, obviously the numbers are working at least in that regard. And if he were to make his own decision to lower those tariffs to say, here's where our baseline tariffs are going to be. There may be some of you exceptions. I don't know, you could say China.

There may be a couple of exceptions on on on this. But your point in comparing it then it becomes a red state blue state thing. That's imperative to to see that comparison before the midterm. That's really start to play out. We can see it.

All of us walks our listeners, people who follow it. We know people are leaving companies are leaving the blue states. And they're going to red states. That story about Massachusetts has lost 180,000 people. Yeah.

Yeah. So the story just was out what yesterday. Right. And so you, you can amplify that.

“And still, I think if you want to take a victory lap on tariffs say,”

here's what we accomplished.

Look at everything we accomplished with tariffs. Companies are investing because they mentioned the other day. That even with the courts decision. The vast majority of the companies that that have pledged to invest in the US are going through with those plans. Did you know something? Why are they doing it?

Well, they're doing it to get access to the largest market. No, they're doing it because of the trade imbalance that we have. And when you have a 900 close to a trillion dollar trade imbalance,

Either way, you're getting massive foreign investment.

“A trade and that's, you know, the whole thing with when it were right now,”

where his current tariffs may be found on constitutional, is because he believes that the balance of payments is the balance of trade and they're two different animals.

And so when you have whatever was a 900 billion dollar trade imbalance,

that money, they have electronic currency. It means it's meaningless. They have US dollars. Right. They invest in massive investment in the United States. It's coming either way.

Right. Doesn't matter. Right. And, you know, so you can, if there's, there are a few ways you can take your victory lap. And you're pretty much by your, by your base,

you're not going to get cold out on it. Right. And, and frankly, nobody else is going to get into the wanted, you know, splitting of the hairs. I've probably not splitting of the hairs or discussion breaking down of that discussion there.

And that debate, because if the effect is a positive effect,

“and you start seeing that trajectory change.”

You just need quite frankly, you just need to do this to November. And then, no, after the election, you know, if you decide to raise it to 5% or whatever, I wouldn't recommend that. It's what Democrats do.

It's what Democrats do all the time. But, well, what do they, you know, we need to look. We need a tax rebate, an extra tax rebate, check for American families. Oh, gee, it's an election year.

I wonder why they're doing that. You know, the things like this, but there was a reason they did it in December as you mentioned earlier. It was a great example of them, capitulating on prices.

And they even stated in their own statement. 200 plus food items were going to be exempt to make it more affordable for families. For me, the discussion that debate was over there. And so, so now, if because the question is, could there be a stay from the courts on the new,

on the new, I think so. I think there could be. If you make that, if the president makes, when I say you, I'm talking to the president, we know your listeners, he sleeps between,

between 4 a.m. and 4.15 a.m. (laughs) Goes about it for, gets up at 4.15. But we believe he's a long time listener,

first time caller to read I read you.

But if he were listening to me, I would say this to him. I would say, you get the credit and not the courts. Build out your own victory lab,

however you need to. Look at what we have done through the terrorists and the threat of terrorists. We've, we're able to leverage all of these things, and then just list them, and then you move on and let the effect of the lower terrorists.

A take hold on on the markets, but beyond the markets, then retail looks at that and says, okay, we believe we're safe to plan long-term, start hiring in a way that we,

'cause that's, one of the biggest investments, we talked about it. You raised the cost of doing business. There's two things businesses can do.

They can pass it along to the consumer to the point the market will bear, and beyond that they create efficiencies, and they start laying off people or stop hiring at the very least. So investment in people will return when you start seeing that, wait a minute,

we can now make our five-year plan, and it looks like the terror thing is over on a large level, and we can move on and make our plans accordingly. When companies start doing that and start making those investments, you're going to see that in the GDP,

you're going to see that in the jobs reports, you're going to see that across the board. Another thing on the terrace, when you keep repeating, we're bringing in so much money,

we're bringing in so much money, while other, while the people are struggling with affordability, that's not money they're getting, they're actually paying for it,

and that's a problem, because whether they made that connection or not, eventually they will at this goes on long enough, and that's your problem.

“Is the imagery of the government bringing in more money?”

Nobody cares about the government bringing in more money, unless it's also benefiting the economy,

Right, because you're talking macroeconomics,

they're worried about microeconomics. Exactly. So you need to talk microeconomics. That's right. To the individual and macroeconomics,

to the investors and industry, but you're reversing them, and you can't exactly. Dave, before yesterday, the president had that big press conference, and was there with some AI and tech people about them building their own power plants, right?

So I was listening to this in my truck, I was doing some running some errands,

and I was listening to it,

and there's great opportunity.

“You said microe, and I think of Mike Rowe, the guy,”

who's out about the infrastructure that will be needed to support AI. There needs to be more focus on that, and how this is going to-- I think the president did a good job during that press conference,

appointing it out why this is a good thing, and what it's going to mean, but you can expand on that. All these things are positive on the economy, and a move on terrace would be monumental,

and we'll see if it happens.

We are right, I radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara, and Eric Carley, it's Red Eye Radio. We are when I radio he's our economy, and I'm Gary McNamara. Ball, just to show you that he's a very angry man,

former ESPN Broadcaster Keith Dolberman, once again, in sighted backlash on social media, on Wednesday after he called the late legendary football coach, Lou Holtz, who died this week, a legendary scumbag in an expost on the day

that Holtz was announced at. I don't know how nice guy. That's-- that's how you do it, right? And he is-- he's angry.

“Did you ever hear him go when he goes after Riley Gaines?”

Oh, yeah. I mean, he's-- but it means he's insane angry. Yeah. You just can't compete anymore. So you're afraid that you're getting more competition.

I mean, he's worse than a child. But by the way, I'm not saying it like that. I am not even close to the anger. No, you're not-- you're on the plane-- I'm not on the plane.

You're right. Right. It's like, you just can't compete! You just can't compete! You just can't compete with even great women.

“So you don't want to have more competition when you swim.”

This guy is an angry person to the core. This is Riddai Radio on Westwood One. The Dan Bontino Show. Dan, I missed you all. I've got so much content bottled of my head.

I got a lot of stuff. This is the kind of stuff. It's real. May not hear this anywhere else. Hard truths.

There's a lot of stuff to talk about that. You think it's going to open a lot of eyes. And a lot of ignoratuses are going to get shut down. And a bold perspective. No one else can offer.

They are freaking out. It's the comeback. Everyone's been waiting for. Lovers, haters, friends, supporters. The supporters to track is you're all welcome.

I want to hear it all. The Dan Bontino Show. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. See you there.
