03-09-26 Part One - Democrats Are Not Normal

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, we are Red Eye Radio, and he is Eric Hurley, and

I'm Gary McNamara. It always happens right before a show where I discover something

and it's like, I just start reading it. It's like, oh man, I can't digest it fully by the time I get on the air, and this was the Manhattan Institute doing a poll on thousands and thousands of Democrats, either registered Democrats, and or those who voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. Yeah, includes over samples of Hispanic and black voters. All right, so they did this whole thing, and what they're trying to find out, it's something

that you and I've talked about, is that the Democratic Party that is moving far left,

“or is it the people inside the people that vote Democrat that wish to move far left?”

And he said, the conclusion, I don't have, because I just, they just put the first paragraph,

more voters favor moving the party towards the ideological center than further left, which again is our point. And we'll get into this when we digest all of all of this, just to bring up the important points, because I will say this, that may make sense because so many, and this is anecdotal evidence, but so many Democrats that I know just don't say anything in 2026, that they just don't talk. Right. They just don't say anything. It's

like they don't come out in favor, and I'm talking about every single Democrat acquaintance,

some going back that I've known as far as college, that we're very, very vocal on, for

example, things like Obamacare and more, more government resources. They play the identity politics thing for a little while, and I, nothing, nothing do they post public anymore. Now, they may be doing it on blue sky, but they're not doing it in the arena of ideas,

“and that's really, really important. Yeah. It's, we know that the, the protests, the large”

protests that, that make the news are heavily organized. We know that. Where is that chatter from the rank and file on the left? Where is it? Where is this real feel of a grass roots uprising on any of these major issues? You know, when you look at it, the one pole that sticks out to me recently is the college students saying they felt compelled to go along. They were afraid that they would be shunned by other students, or even worse, that they

wouldn't be able to make the grade if they spoke out against liberal causes. And that has to be the case. If it's, if that is the case with that age group, then I have to extrapolate that out, that even though they still vote Democrat, where are they, they're just not, they're not going to speak out, or they do when someone like minded talks to them about it, and they go, oh, yeah, yeah, no, I'm, I'm with you 100% on the inside. They're going, no,

I'm not going to be at the protest. Not going to happen. George Soes can't pay me enough money to be there because they actually don't believe in it. Actually speaking about somebody that I know over the weekend with a family member, and we were going back and forth, and it was, we believe that this person is kind of, you know, because they posted some things on social media just responses to other people. It's like, oh, they don't think that way. And then we thought, oh,

wait a minute, their job setting is a very high profile, right? So everybody at their work, including the owners of their work or on their social media, and you don't want to step out

Oh, can you imagine, now we're coming from a unique perspective where we, where we do this,

but I couldn't imagine doing that even before I became a, you know, somebody who comments on

“the news all the time. And where it's public, what I believe, but I can't imagine ever.”

Oh, you know, I go back to the lyrics of the song. I'd rather be hated for who I am for love, for who I'm not. Yeah, right. I just, I couldn't imagine being in that place. I can't imagine being in college where you're like, I'm paying for my college education, and they're forcing me to go along with them. I'm paying to be a student. Right. I'm exactly, I thank you, but that's perfect. I'm paying to be a student. I'm paying to be a student. It's not that they're paying me,

because you can make the point okay. People are concerned economics, basic economics. People are concerned with their own self-interest. That would be the compromise. I'll pretend I'm going along with them even if I don't because I'm making money and good money to do so, and it's relatively less hassle. You know, if I, if I do it, can understand it. I couldn't do it, but I can understand it. Well, you know, but, but imagine you're paying. Oh, oh, no, you're paying to be a student.

Yeah, because the moment I spoke out against a professor in argued with a professor or how to debate with a professor, and then all of a sudden it went wrong. Here's the question. Have there been or might there be lawsuits of look? I debated this professor on this, and it was very clear. They retaliated with my grades. Look at my grades, but I showed up every day. I can pass any test, but I didn't go along with them. It's already happened. I remember on some kind of essays.

“Was it, was there a lawsuit? I think there was, I think there was a lawsuit where you're supposed”

to do an essay and the professor disagreed with the essay and gave them, I don't know what the mark was, but it was a law. I can't remember how that was resolved, but yeah, the lawsuits happen.

Well, because that's the first thing that I would think of. You're not going to take 10 to

thousands of dollars, you know, possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars for me. I'm not going to be studying the arts. I mean, if I were to have gone to college, it likely would have been, studying criminal justice, it would have been almost 100%. It was a different era. We're talking 1984, 1984, 1984, and I have friends that went that route at the university that I would have attended in the town where I graduated high school and they did fine. And I've seen no complaints

from them. They're doing great. Have had long successful law enforcement careers. But nonetheless, if I did, let's say I chose to, for whatever reason, you know, go to that universities and taxes, of course, but there's folks, we got plenty of liberals down here, trust me. And that's the, which by the way, if you ever hear this, we're going to turn taxes blue, a lot of that comes from those campuses, from that age group, those students, you know, they really do believe,

you know, we're going to turn taxes blue. And with some of the migration for jobs, we have turned, they have turned, some of the counties blue. But I wouldn't ever be able to sit there

“and just do that with the professor saying something without debating them. And I think even without”

this experience, you know, all these years of doing this, it would still be the same, because, you know, think about it when, when that person that we know was commenting, they weren't exactly ambiguous in their comments, but they weren't full on, you know, protest or mode. It wasn't like they were, you know, it was just comments that were clearly supportive of things and that they, I know they don't believe. And it looked like a cross between, it came off as them trying to

basically be nice. Well, it's interesting, because somebody who I know who I saw a few weeks ago,

and I just, I've been friends with this person for decades. And occasionally, I'll see

leaning left. Well, I saw them a few weeks ago for the first time in a while.

“First thing this person asked me, what do you think about this whole radical transgender movement?”

This isn't sanity. It's misogyny. It's, it's, I'm like, I'm just smiling going, okay, we're fine here. Yeah, right. But, uh, oh, I do remember, yes, I would have done it before I became a talk show host, because I did it in 10th grade in Dr. Charles C. Marlach's class when they had the substitute teacher who came in, that would have been 10th grade. And she said there's no difference between communism and our system of government. Right. Well, come on, maybe that was

the key I was going to end up doing this. But it infuriated me, I mean, I was, as a 10th grader, as immature as I was as a 10th grader, because at that point, I was still cheating. You know, if I needed to cheat on a test I would still cheat. You know, so I was no perfect teenager in any manner or form. If I could do it the easy way I would. But my father spent so much time explaining to us a difference between it. I remember being angry when she said that because I knew

it was a lie. And I guess as a kid, you sit there and you say to yourself, well, I can lie, but they can't. Well, no, I mean, it's, it is the, there's one thing when you, you just see the BS pass you by. It's another thing when it's a BS local mode of coming your way with, yeah, and, and at full

“speed and, and you just know you have to stop it. And, and I guess this is all part of it. I mean,”

this all fits into the one thing I was thinking about this this week and that we're all thinking about there were number articles written about it. The instant responses from Democrats without analyzing what they're saying to the point where Democrat leaders are making no sense anymore. Yeah. It doesn't even make any sense. It's just a no against Trump. And I know people are saying, well, when Trump is gone, this is going to end. No, it's not. No, it is. It's not. I mean,

has it increased? Yes. But the same thing was said, you know, people thought, I remember the Democrats talking about how, you know, Reagan was seen aisle and crazy. Oh, yeah, you know,

I'm, I remember those days. And then Bush, the second Bush. Yeah. Come on.

What you, and speaking of Reagan, I remember, I don't know if it was time magazine Newsweek. I

“don't remember, but it was a hard copy of a magazine. Well, back then we only had hard copies.”

But, and it was hard. But we liked it that way. And we liked it that way. You know, sharing it with other people who have countless people who have touched it in a medicine office and a doctor's office, whatever you call those things. But I remember, look at the illustration on this magazine. And it had, it was an illustration of president Reagan at the time in the hospital bed, you know, with his eyes closed the whole thing

on, you know, basically, the idea was him being on my support. And a devilish looking George H. W. Bush Poseidon. And it was the liberal activist media back then, basically portraying this, oh, my gosh, if, you know, because Reagan, oh, my gosh, he's so old and as you mentioned, he's seen aisle. We might be stuck with George H. W. Bush. I mean, they couldn't help themselves.

And that impression has always been in my mind. And I thought to myself,

we're in the world. Now, I wasn't old enough to vote for Reagan in 1980. So I paid a guy on older guy to vote for me. But in Chicago, I, I killed a guy in then he voted in 1984. Of course, and, you know, that was different. And, and, but I, even as a kid, I didn't get into the political debates, but I saw that cover of that magazine. And I was just, my gosh, these people were just bad soup crazy. We are run out radio brought to you by hot shot secret. I'm Jen Lumis, a transport

It's really interesting about and I'm going to read that and analyze it. We're going to do that and talk about it on a future show because really this is the most comprehensive thing that I've seen that's been done yet on the Democrats here as the midterm elections are coming up. And the article is titled, and it's in the Manhattan Institute has you can find it on their website. Do Democrats want to be normal survey analysis of today's Democratic coalition

as to where they stand? Do you think, you know, we talked about the present using crazy

if you if I'm and this is popped into my head right now, if I'm marketing for the Republicans, I would also use the word normal. Why aren't they normal? Right. And then I would use what they say. This is what they believe. This isn't normal. This is if you don't want to be perceived, because I was sinking to myself, if you're using crazy in everyone, it's sort of like when Republicans were saying, Obama's line is line is line is line is line. In you and I actually said,

you think Obama lies on purpose. So the Republicans just keep saying he's line is line and then the public just turns off the Republicans and go, come on, he can't be lying about all this stuff. And but if you say normal and then play the audio cut after it, crazy does not crazy, it applies, but to some, if you're trying to hit every demographic can be viewed, especially the ignorant, if they don't understand the issues as being over the top rhetoric. But if you say, why aren't these

“people normal? Yeah, I mean, I think that, I mean, I think that's, I think that's,”

it was, I don't know, in the last few weeks, you and I, because we're seeing so much of the videos, it's part of the job. But I, I think the average person, anybody paying attention is seeing it, too, right? It's coming up in the algorithm on social media, YouTube wherever it is. And I see this clip. And I don't remember what it was, if it was from the view, if it was from CNN, MS now, I, I don't remember, but the liberal activist media, right? And I'm thinking to myself,

it's, it's so different than it was before. They've always been crazy. We know they're wrong

on the issues. We know they're lying about the issues. We know they're pushing the agenda for the far left for the radicals. But I looked at it and I said to myself, you know, there has to be somebody and it's not just because I oppose them. There have to be, there has to be a number of people on the left, rank and file that look at them and go, no. And part of the proof of that theory or or backing up that theory is what we're seeing with the liberal activist media and the erosion of

their audience. You know, this is, if you're, if you don't, if they're, if they're not there, you know, I don't know what the numbers are at MS now, but they, I mean, I guess they're still, you know, Fox, Fox still like air. Fox is like the top 20 shows. Yeah, it's, it's crazy. And

“it has to be part, a big part of that, I believe, has to be the liberal rank and file looking at”

that going, let's get it, watch this madness, it's cartoonish. They just come off, they don't even talk like real people talk. And it's, and it's on every issue. It's not just on one thing, whatever happens all of a sudden, you know their reaction is going to be crazy, but even the train wreck effect isn't working for them now in the media. Just look at the ratings. Tired of partisan noise. America's more divided than ever, but independent Americans is adding

the light to contrast all that she and dependent Americans daily news with army veteran Paul Rikha. Pressing issues of the day, the leaders who are shaping what America will be in the future. We're going to bring the righteous media of five lives, independence, integrity, information, inspiration, and impact. Join the movement, independent Americans from belief, follow and listen

And I'm Gary McNamara, and he's our Carly coming up here in just a couple of minutes.

A perfect audio cut to really describe what we've been talking about. The Democrats just not making any sense. We'll get to that coming up. Yeah, it's crazy. And some great audio coming up as well. What does share something with you? Over the weekend, I was helping my dad with a project. He called me a couple of weeks ago. You know a contractor that could help me with this big

“project in my yard. And I said to myself, I think I can do that. And I said, Dad, I'll do this.”

I got my power tools together over the weekend. I went up there before taking relief factor. That wouldn't have been a choice. I actually would have had to call somebody. But after taking relief factor, the pain was not an issue. My joints, my lower back, not an issue. I knew I could before during an after a project like this. It was going to be no problem. I want that same effect for you. There are things in life you can't control. This is something

you can do something about relief factor. 100% drug free research based formula that works on your body's natural inflammatory response. Four key ingredients get started today. The three week quick start is just 1995. Just 1995. It's a bargain. Relieffactor.com. Call 8004 relief. That's

“relieffactor.com. 8004 relief. Use red eye and the drop down and get this great deal.”

Your three week quick start of relief factor. Just 1995. Coming up following the top of the hour or here in a little bit because we got so much to talk about. Economic news came out on Friday. On the job front, not good. But on the productivity front. All right. Well, I just start coming up in a little bit with the the positive that came out of it and try to guess where that's coming

from. Or not guess. A critical thinking hypothesis of where that's coming from. Right. That's

on better than I guess. Okay. But the first you and I talking about the just before I came on the air, I just happened to see it. The city journal piece and we'll get to it probably tomorrow or the next day here on another show. But I just saw it. It's a long article with lots of statistics

“talking about does a democratic voter want to be normal. Right. You know, the party doesn't,”

but does the does the the the the the voter. And it it led us to what we've seen really since the state of the union address. Yeah. When Trump said, you know, they're they're they're crazy out there. And then, you know, when the Iran things started, they immediately jumped on and said, it's illegal. It's illegal. It's illegal. Well, it wasn't illegal. No. What we explained you why it wasn't. And then, you know, when the president, in fact, the president actually consulted Congress

on it, which actually, you know, fits the war powers act, which again, the constitutionally, it has no bearing on a president, but the president followed anyway and talked to, you know, and advised the gang of eight of as to what was going on. Now that Congress has voted on it and said,

okay, yes. And the majority of the House, you know, is basically voted on that that Iran is

and an enemy of the United States, a terrorist organization, everything. They're still screaming. It's illegal. Right. And it's like, well, no, he's gone to the process that you've actually asked him to do. It's gone through the legislative part of it. And you're still saying, it's illegal. It's not making any sense. Here's Jonathan Turley on this over the, over the weekend. The position of senior. Okay. Do we have it there? Go. Okay.

The position of senior Democrats is not just hypocritical. It's now incomprehensible. You have people like Pelosi, Belumenthal, who are expressing revulsion that there was not prior consultation authorization. These are the same people that said that President Obama did not require that authorization for an eight month war where he attacked the capital city of a foreign country without any imminent threat and an open effort that you to have regime change. And they greenlighted that and said, you don't

have to come to us. And so it's, it's bizarre for them now to say, well, but this is a war powers act violation. Trump is in compliance with that act. Look, President since Jefferson had been boxing

to initiate combat operations. That's been accepted since the beginning of their public. Once you're

in those operations, it's very hard to get that cat to walk backwards. By these, these members are direct contradiction to their prior position. Well, so a spokesperson for former Speaker Nancy Pelosi says there is an absolute distinction between the limited military operations in Libya and the broad escalating war with Iran initiated by President Trump. They're calling it a war of choice. That I got to tell you that dog won't hunt. I represented members challenging

“Libyan war. We lost that case. And the fact is courts have deferred to presidents and to congresses”

in the use of their respective authorities here. But to say that Libya was in any way a limited

war is perfectly bizarre. We took out columns of military units. We attacked the capital city. We made it clear that we wanted regime change. What's limited about that? And that's where you get to the point of it. It's not even making any sense anymore. You take on top of that. You think about the state of the union, then this, and then you think of Tala Rico. I mean, the Tala Rico is just getting bombarded.

Yeah, you mentioned a state of the union. And he mentioned Blumenthal during the, I don't, I don't know if you noticed. I was watching like Blumenthal every time that Trump said something, he was just staring over at his party to see if they were going to applaud or not. And then if they started applauding or something, he would have played. It was so ridiculously Blumenthal. Blumenthalish. But when you look at this, look, nobody likes to see where the price

of oil is. And just checked it was a 115 dollars a barrel. I, it's, I was pawning my wedding ring over the weekend to buy some gasoline and, and I thought to myself, this is going to hurt people. This, this is something, this is the pain we're going to feel. You know, the president trying to

basically temper that with, it's a small price to pay. I would use different words. I would say,

“this is not permanent. That's what I would have said. And in the long run, this is going to mean”

energy as a plentiful around the globe. The United States is going to be the biggest part of that. And we're going to have cheap and plentiful energy for the foreseeable future. But this has to happen. And, you know, but there was a lot made in the media, especially on, as prices got over $100 a barrel on oil. But the other side of that, the other part of this entire equation, is other nations looking at Iran going, this is on them. And yes, this has to happen.

I'm going to as son being named the new Iotolo Supreme Leader. And I thought to myself, well, good luck with that. You know, that's not going to end well for him. Because that does not, and I know they keep saying it's not about regime change, while they're pretty much explaining how it's about regime change. And that is not going to constitute regime change.

“And the president, I think gave him just a little bit of leeway. I think the president was just trying”

to, again, throw out a crumb of diplomacy and saying, well, you know, unless he cooperates, he's not going to, we know he's not going to cooperate. The president, I know the president knows that he's not going to cooperate. And it's going to be more of the same. If not worse, his father was what 86, and he's 53, 54ish. And you look at that and, and of course, he and other Iranian, what's left of the Iranian leadership regime, talking about the president

is going to have the president Trump is going to have to pay the price and all of this. We know we know, for fact, that Iran was behind two assassination attempts at Trump. And we know that there's no doubt that they want revenge for what's going on. The question is, what is their ability and how close are we to crushing them? But the consensus in getting back to the response

and nobody ever thought it, well, this had to happen. It wasn't bound to, but it had to happen

“and nobody thought it was actually possible and here we are. It's not going to be easy.”

No, I mean that there's extremely tough things coming up here. I mean, what are they going to do once they finish the entire military? I mean, a lot of articles about what you really want the Kurds in there or do the people have to have an uprising. You know, Trump, the talking about special forces, you know, guarding the nuclear material, US special forces, you know, going in and doing it. You know, something I just wanted to mention this here, because it just shows you on social

media. There's one YouTube page that I'm in following. It's called, what is it? AI telly. I don't know if

you've seen it come up. But it's all this animation about what the fight is going on over in Iran, the specifics, what the military is doing, what they're targeting and everything. And it looks

“great. Yeah. Until you look at it, you say, well, how do they know that's exactly what the”

Iranian bunker looks like? And you know, because I was going down the number of floors and you're going to, I'm like, how do they know that? I mean, when I saw that, I'm like, there's a lot of, there might be, but total kind of classified information. If it was true, are they just guessing, are they making stuff up? And then I went to AI and said, is this website, accurate and said, well, they're known not to be accurate, even though it's a website

for engineering and military things. They said it's a two person thing, but I was, but I was watching this going, because you watch it and you go, wow, this is great, but the U.S. military is doing. And then I went, but is it accurate? Yeah. Right. Now, we know they're getting, we know the bunker busters are getting in there, but they got into such specific detail where I'm like, okay, where are their sources? How do I know this is true? And then I realize, okay, that's one of the

things on social media, I can't, I don't know, you can see the most slick up kind of animation and analysis of what is actually, what they say is actually going on in a war and you're watching and like, wow, this is really great. Wow, they're really, and then I step back and went, we're the sources for this. I don't know this is accurate. Right. Right. Right. And so that's, it's hard to know what to trust right now. Yeah. I just, I mean, and, and I have to believe that we

have the technology, and, and there is, until available, the question is, is that the basis, or are they just guessing, are they just saying, here's how it would be

“built, if you were going to build it this way. And, and the infrastructure, we learned, I think”

it was over the weekend, everything is happening so fast. I mean, the notifications that are coming through on all my devices, it's just, it's mind-boggling. But we learned, I think, Wall Street Journal did one of the pieces on this of both China and Russia's involvement, but Russia's involvement specifically was about providing intel for Iran. And you think of the American set, we're killed the six Americans that were killed that were at a, a, a, a, a makeshift or a temporary

operation center at a, at a port and Kuwait. And when that happened, when we finally learned,

you know, how they died, the six died at that one facility, I said to myself, there's no way Iran has that level of intel. So they have partnerships, which of those other nations that they work with got them that intel and the word is, it's Russia. And China, of course, has been building a game alongside Iran for the longest time for oil, primarily, but also access to that region. So this goes beyond just Iran, which is enough, but it goes beyond Iran, and it's still extremely

dangerous, even though so much destruction has been done against Iran. This is still an uphill battle, and it's still going to take a while before we're in the clear. We are right, I radio. We'll be right back with more red eye radio with every currently and Gary McNamara. We are when I radio, he's hurt, honey, and I'm Gary McNamara, one more from Jonathan

of the ringleader behind the Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump as going on in New York.

With the unlawful entry of thousands of unvetted Iranians during the Biden administration, the position of Democrats is incomprehensible. The only hope is that the Iranian sleeper cells will assume this is a trick because no government would be maronic enough to cut funding for homeland security in the midst of a fight with the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. Well, if they've been over here, they know that, yes, they would. Yeah.

You know, and I mean, look, there are so many questions going forward here.

“But it's, this is not going to be, I think another thing that President Trump's going to be”

up against in this whole thing is they're right now, or a lot of people watching the clock. You know, they want this to be over in a week or so, and it's not going to be.

Whether you're up late or you're just starting your day. Welcome to the show from the Relief Factor Studios. This is Ridae Radio. All across America, we are Ridae Radio. He is there, Carlion. I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning. Thanks for being here.

Wow. Yeah. In the Jesse Jackson funeral, his son, just live it at Obama Clinton and Biden for making it political when he said beforehand, made it clear. He did not want his father's funeral to be political. Yeah. By the way, that's a reasonable request given that Jesse Jackson really hasn't been part of the political scene in recent years. He's not, it wasn't as nearly as active as he was.

Back when he ran for President and during his heyday in terms of his activism. It is a reasonable request. Talk about the life, honor the life. You have a family that's grieving. You know what? President Trump posted about it. You know, we set him up in Trump Tower for his organization and basically making the

point that maybe we didn't agree on everything but he was always nice about it and respectful about it.

And that's, but, you know, I think to myself for the family of Jesse Jackson and you,

“your damned if you do, damned if you don't. You have to invite these former presidents”

but you, they had to have known. There's no way they don't get political during this whole thing and there's your conundrum. Because you don't want to not invite them then that looks like you're shunning them right and their relationship with Jesse Jackson over the years and you can't have that. That's, you know. So, but he did, Jesse Sun asked for them to not be political.

Here's what he said. Do not bring your politics out of respect for the Reverend Jesse Jackson

and the life that he lived to these ongoing services. Come respectful and come to say thank you. But these ongoing services are welcome to all. Democrat Republican liberal and conservative right wing left wing because his life is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what it means to be an American Jackson said in February one day after his father's death. And then whoa,

Yesterday, I listened for several hours of three United States presidents

who do not know Jesse Jackson. That was, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was a, that was a, that was a gut punch. If you're, if you're either one of those, any one of those,

“understand that he shouldn't be surprised. No, that's what I was saying. You're,”

you're darned if you do, you know, you have to invite them right because you can't, if you don't invite them, it, it's like you're shunning them and, you know, they're not welcome, but he had said,

everyone's welcome, but he shouldn't be surprised because everything is political to the Democrats.

There is an anything that isn't political. I mean, my God, if it's what it's about. It's absolutely obvious that anything the Democrats have to, that they get involved with, anything that they get involved with, you know, look, I mean, the, you know, the, you know, Tallarico, you know, trying to tailor religion to his liberal beliefs. He's not, he's not talking about Christianity. No, he's not talking about what, what Christianity is about. He's trying to take his radical views and say,

this is what Christianity believes. Right. He's not having a great deal of success doing it. No, but because he's gotten just blistered since he won against Jasmine Crocket last week. But if you, if you think about the Jesse Jackson funeral, the service, the three individuals, those three former presidents. Again, I've said this before on a number of issues. When you value life. In a moment like that, you can talk about somebody's life. If you're

truly, if you truly had a relationship with them, without making it political, even if you're

“a former president on that side. But you have to, it starts with valuing life, putting a value”

in a life and respecting the human life that is gone and those who remain his family, who are left behind in that moment. You can honor somebody. This is what you just heard. They did not know him. It's because they don't care about life. They don't care about the efforts and whether you agree or disagree with Jesse Jackson. I mean, it's iconic, really. I don't remember

a time during that during his heyday. I mean, it was just his name was always in the news. He was

ever present. And again, I didn't agree with them on anything. No, but in the moment of honoring

“him in the wake of his death. And also honoring his family. How can you, you have to start with”

valuing life. You have to, you have to value life in the first place to recognize what it takes to go from where he was, depending on how long you knew him or what you knew about him. That's what you just heard from his son. They didn't know him. They didn't know him because they didn't care to learn about him because they don't value life. And, you know, just, but I was, you know, he should have been surprised by it. No, maybe a little angry because it's like, I told you not to do this,

not to make it political, but everything is political. Yeah. There was no way to the left today. There isn't any, they cannot, you know, there is nothing that they won't make political, including the security and safety of the United States. If you've got a party who believes in sanctuary cities that believes that criminal illegal immigrants should be protected from deportation. Yeah. If you believe in the misogyny and the sexism of the radical transgender movement,

that you believe that men should be able to walk around naked in front of women and that women don't have a choice and they don't have private places. Yeah. Where they can feel safe and secure.

everything that goes on in your life now, there has been a little bit of a reversal now. What is it? Where was Robert Kennedy Jr. speaking when he was talking about fast food. And now, it's the Democrats defending fast food, which is great. When they used to, I mean, go after fast food

“companies, remember the whole food desert thing where they were saying, there's nothing but fast food”

in these poor neighborhoods. They don't have access to nutritional food, real nutrition, fresh food, and we need to limit at one point they were saying this. We need to limit the development of new fast food locations in these areas and now they're defending and us and by the way, that comes from Robert Kennedy Jr. That doesn't even come from Trump. We still don't like his pick for the head of the

HHS. No, we do not like, we have never, like, ever, uh, Robert Kennedy Jr. Right. For any position

within the Republican Party is absolutely reprehensible. There isn't a groundswell of Republicans wanting the federal government to ban sugary foods. Right. Exactly. Yeah. You know, it's, and it just seemed to catch social media fire, but what I look for, if we're talking about someone like an RFK Jr. I'm looking for a change of heart where he comes in because many on social media who defend or support things that he says that are otherwise on the right or in the populist

right, you know, group, I guess you could say, go out of their way to defend him and I look at that and say, well, wait a minute, hold on, hold on. You know, they're like given the thumbs up on

everything he's saying. Here's what it comes down to for me. I want to know if you truly belong

in this fight for conservative principles, which includes health care, which includes, uh,

“information on health care. You need to show me, you need to demonstrate to me the change of”

heart because the only thing I look at this is that he was running. Trump came to an agreement and if you drop out of the race, we'll fold you into the administration and you can work in this capacity, but the influencers that aren't really influencing as much anymore, uh, the the Trump influencers had jumped on the the bandwagon of a Robert Kennedy Jr. But there is no ground swell. You hear you hear any talk from any Republican? No, about banning fast foods or banning

sugary foods? No. No. No. We live in a, we live in a free society. It doesn't mean that you want not to be responsible. Right. Right. You know, sugary foods have been out there. My entire life. Well, I support the legalization of sugary foods. This is something. Yeah. Actually, I mean, I support the legalization of marijuana, but, but, but ask me if I think setting around

smoking pot all day is a good thing. Yeah. The answer is no. It is not. I mean, now we're going back

to move them. That's straight to my last thing. I'm like, oh my gosh, don't start talking about banning fast. Please don't say that. Please don't say that. Please. And he didn't, but it's just like, oh, man, just. Well, and, you know, this idea of eat real food and all this, I'm, I'm sorry. I don't

“need to pyramid to tell me what my diet needs to be. I just don't. If you want to go, like,”

octagon, that shape. Maybe pyramid. I don't need a food pyramid, but everything is political. So, the don't be surprised. It doesn't matter what it is. Right. Democrats are going to make it political. Yeah. And they're going to be outpouraged outrage about it. But are they actually convincing people? And that's one of the things that we have talked about when will a significant portion of the democratic party finally say, you know, like somebody like a featherman or someone

like a, a, a billmar, where they're looking at and they go, my God, there's major flaws, but billmar is still voting. Every every single show he's pounding on the Democrats for their insanity, but still will vote for them. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's sort of indicative or I wonder if he's indicative of the, the average Democrat out there today that looks and goes, my party is crazy,

I can't think of the an issue that they're crazy on, but I just don't like Trump because I mean. Right.

“I just don't like it's the guy, but it, it, and it comes down to one guy. The question is,”

the idea is being promoted by the other side. Do you, which one do you believe in? And what, which look at the, how crazy the liberals have been and radical they have been and tell me how you can hold heartedly support that? You're either a radical or not period. We are right, I radio. This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by house products tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. Partnerships to promote the recently released dietary guidelines for Americans,

agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins with the announcement at USDA headquarters this week.

The initiation of the dietary guidelines for Americans strategic partnerships. The secretary explaining the partnerships will span various sectors in educating Americans

“about the new dietary guidelines, participants ranging from health experts to retailers.”

She adds this is the latest example of DGA partnerships in a historical context. USDA has long partnered with organizations and companies from across the private sector to promote the DGA's and messaging with the shared goals of helping consumers make better choices.

“Coming up on the bottom of the hour, we'll hit some of the economic news that came on on Friday.”

One good thing, productivity up, which means people are making more money because they're producing more. Now is it because we're using AI? Is that part of it? We'll get to that coming up, but really great article in the Washington Examiner about James Telerico, who beat Jasmine Crocodile last week in the Democratic Senate primary. About some of the things that he has stated and it's funny because David Herzegny wrote. He said, "Sure, in light and left,

it's a long mock believers of the sky God is both irrational and anti-science." In truth, they've only been frustrated by the inability to appropriate Christianity to spread their distinctly secular morality. For decades, candidates come and go promising to reclaim Christianity for the left. Now, I'm not a Christian myself, but I'm not found to be found of frauds. Well, it's a tongue twister. Found of frauds, either. And even I can see that the problem with Telerico's

highest rhetoric is that his face, the faith doesn't inform his political values, but rather the reversed. It justifies his liberalism. Telerico, for instance, argued that God is non-binary. I strongly suspect that most of our devout Christians would take issue with the plane. These things to their Lord and Savior, even now Telerico insists that most people in Texas understand that God is beyond gender, just as he apostle Paul, who allegedly made the case in his

letters to the Galatians. If I could speak to the apostle Paul, who refers to God as the Father in Galatians while using masculine pronouns, I'd probably be more curious to know which of the six different sexes he was going to choose. The number of the Texas representative came up with while opposing a bill prohibiting trans boys from from playing on girls high school teams. Oh, I just love it. Telerico does improve modern progressivism is compatible with traditional

notions of faith, but rather modern liberalism is more prone to embrace social science quackery than the average social conservative in the final thing he writes. In Telerico's worldview, gender is highly changeable in both nature and faith, but skin color is an immutable characteristic that predetermines not only a person's thoughts and actions,

Wow. Oh my gosh, it says great. Yeah, I love that. Oh my gosh, that's just I love that.

“You know, there is there's so in the arena of ideas,”

there are extremely childlike and also desperate and when it's so apply those two elements right there, childlike and desperate. When kids get desperate, when kids get desperate, they make up stuff that you wouldn't either, I mean, it's, this is exactly what it's like listening to a child, making excuse or or conjure up some kind of lie. There, it's, which tells you what,

they're trying to get out of something. And it really is unbelievable what some of these

Democrats are trying to do, Telerico, among them.

“You're the one who's trying to get out of this school, and then you're hoping that it's a step.”

Do you think all of this is right? Yeah, exactly. Like this, it's like a step that's just a step. A step on the studio, a job or a step. It's just a step. I don't feel like a step. Stay an LED. Stay with this. It's already a bit of a loss, they're still on the stage. That's it, and it's still a lot of time. Stop, leave the recruiting spirit. Reaching a talent to finden for all the jobs.

And he is your crawling. I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome in good morning. Thanks for being here. Don't let our red eye radio out today and you can listen when and where you choose. And thank you. All right. So looking at the economic news that came out, let's start with the positive. Okay. That won't take long. 2.8% productivity increased last year in the last year. That's good. That's very good. That's very good.

You and I, wondering, and we don't have the answer. You know, we don't have this specific. One thing about the, the, this economy, it is so incredibly large and diverse. Yeah. It's a lot of times you'll see a lot of different numbers. And you'll see the monthly numbers where you'll have whoever's in power, jump at the, the monthly numbers if they're good like.

“See, we told you. I mean, it's bad. Nobody says anything. Right. But the fact is we've never looked at,”

I don't care who's in office. And if you've listened to this show, you can verify it for any length of time.

We never judge an economy by one month. Right. And one report of any kind. Well, yeah.

What, I mean, if it should report that covers a year or maybe a three or even longer span. Okay. Then we can see a trend. But one month, a report on one month does not constitute a trend. Well, I would expect that we would see increases in productivity increasing just because of technology and AI. Right. And, and, you know, and the, the, the other thing is the, the, the deregulation of of so many just absurd regulations on industry and business. You know, so to me,

I look at them go, okay, that is, that is what is it, it would be expected for you. Hope would be in hope would be expected. The other thing is the, let me see, this was James Freeman in the Wall Street Journal. Job market gets better for workers at small firms. The job market for US workers at small companies is better than previously reported and wage increases have become more common. That's according to the National Federation of Independent Business report that was that was

out on Friday, adding to the positive economic news productivity across the US economy had another good quarter. That means that, especially at small firms, people were, you know, the people were

And so, you know, that's the macro way to look at it. The macro way to look at it. I don't know.

“I can't tell you, you know, is it, is it, is it AI, is it technology, is it, whatever other”

efficiencies that they're, they're, they're using. So that's the good news. Yeah, the bad news is the job market absolutely sucks. This and I'm going the last year, actually the last 10 months because if you look at liberation day in April of 2025, and that effect probably took, started taking effect in May. Since May of last year across the United States, we had had had had an increase of, we've had a decrease of 19,000 jobs.

Manufacturing jobs over the last year close to 80,000 lost. That's the bad news.

“It is. And by the way, it's unrelated to the Iran war because this was last month. Right. Right.”

Right. Right. It came out. So well, and and also the the entire, if you look at how big the miss was on the median forecast for the unemployment report, we're talking about a swing of 142,000. It was, the median forecast was plus 50,000, 50,000 jobs added, but the reality was a loss of 92,000. It's a huge swing. And you look, the prior month was a bit of a surprise. It was a miss in the opposite direction by the median forecast. And it was plus 126. Again,

you and I have, we have talked about it often, but every time we talk about the unemployment report,

“we talk about, we go back to when a robust economy would be adding about 250,000 jobs a month.”

And now you're in this situation where again, I don't know this, because here's what we look at.

Here's how this is put together. These are employee or service. Right. So there's three sets of surveys. And the Trump administration, they brought it up, sometime last year. And they talked about the methodology for it. You know, maybe we should wait the full until all three surveys are done to a new issue. Any report? Yikes. Yeah. Well, you might not want to do that because it gets to be right now. It would do more damage for you politically. And, but you, it is three different

surveys. Right. So they, they're serving employers. And that first set of responses comes back.

And there's a revision, then the final revision. And that final revision basically is, is the, you know, okay, that's the last of the employers responding and it puts together the whole picture. That, what's happening right now, it's, I would love to look at the dynamics, because what I'd like to see is a survey of employers who are, as you point out, productivity is up. The question is, how much does that have to do with the implementation of AI in assisting humans right at this point,

not necessarily taking over roles completely, but assisting humors humans. And if it is a combination of, okay, not only is it because moving, moving very quickly, not only is it part of assisting employees in doing their job and making the humans more efficient, but it's also in some cases it is, you talk about the implementation to where humans aren't needed anymore. One of the things we look at is in the tech coding, right? Biden told you to go learn to code. Well, on the surface,

that was horrible advice, because AI now is, there were almost at the point where AI is going to be doing all the coding and the tech companies, the tech leaders have been saying that now for a while. And it's actually happening. It's being demonstrated and for all of us non-tech people, we may not see it, but if you pay attention to any of the news coming out of the tech world,

was his employees, he said, "Look, you know, and five years from now, this goes back,

“I think last year or year before." We said within five years, humans won't be doing the coding,”

it'll be AI. And I think it may be coming sooner than he had predicted then. This is, again, part of the equation. And when we talk and you saw the president, I listened to the, the president last week, he had the tech people there with him, talking about building their own power plants, something Mike Roe has talked about, the infrastructure, how many humans will be needed to build the infrastructure to support AI and then maintain it along the way.

But beyond that, and it also applies to that, the mismatch of skills and experience. Because if you're not, if you're not in construction or an engineer or whatever, in order to build all that, to help build that infrastructure, you may not have that experience.

“And that kind of experience, obviously, only happens with time. So there are these gaps that”

are going to be there. And that's the question, I would love to know why there was such a huge mess on this unemployment report. Why the median forecast was at 50. And all of a sudden, you have swing of 142,000. It's a negative 92,000. That was not good. And as I showed, the household survey was less gloomy. That survey showed the number of workers

employed part time for economic reasons to climb by someone million over the past two months.

And the unemployment rate is, the unemployment rate is remained more or less steady at 4.4 percent. Right. The ADP paper report and the Institute for Supply Management Services report this week showed both job growth last month. So go figure 28,000 of the job losses came from health care. 27,000, leisure and hospitality, manufacturing loss 12,000 construction 11,000. Listen to this, motion picture production, loss 9,500 jobs last month.

You know, there are more in Hollywood right now that are sending up the red flag and all the warnings. And I mean, names you would know, talking about how it is just going away very quickly things are just, I mean, eroding very quickly, a friend of mine that works in movies as a stuntman was telling me, he said, it just seems like Hollywood is just kind of disappearing. You know, he has, he also owns land where they could go do exterior shots,

movie companies could rent it and then go out there and do exterior shots. And he's going to sell the land because nobody's shooting out there anymore. You know, Taylor Sheridan seems to be the only guy in the entertainment industry who's growing. And I don't know how he gets all the time to write all the shows that he's writing. Do you know something? I was like, what? I still got to figure out more about it. Yeah. I'm on the group text for all of our neighbors. Yeah, one of our neighbors

on the street said, look, there may be a lot of cars out in front of my house, but we're, you know, we're working on Taylor Sheridan stuff. I'm like, yeah, what are they talking about? Yeah, they rent houses to our old producer David at WBAP. He actually rented his house out. He's got the coolest house. But he rented his house out one time. No, that's a commercial. That's not what it's for. It wasn't? No, they're, they all, they are putting together all of the costumes all the,

oh, they're working. Okay. They're all at the house. We're putting together all the costumes and everything else at her house. Okay. Whatever, whatever, whatever. I don't, I don't know whether they're cellos, donor, whatever. I just, I read it very quickly and I'm just like, okay, I saw the stop by an

“ask. I saw this guy who was, is a farmer and he used to go to, I think this tractor supply company”

or somewhere. And they saw him in the store, somebody from their corporate office and called him and said, hey, you want to be in commercials and he said, yeah, because you're a real farmer. So he did commercials for a little while. Taylor shared in season. But now he's, he's doing landmen. He's doing, I mean, he's not a star, but he's in several

episodes of that. And, and, you know, the Hollywood, here's what I think they're learning or

have learned and learned years ago. But now it's being implemented to a larger degree. And that is,

that, right? But then you add to it the woke factor. There are people that have been writing

shows for years that are now unemployed and part of that is because the heads of those studios would say, nope, we can't tell that joke, our friend Steve Burn. You know, when he had a show, a Sullivan and son on TBS, he was in studio telling us how he was dealing with the network of

“well, you have to have more of this and more of this. He goes, look, I'm, you know, I'm Irish and”

Korean and that's the basis for my character in the show. Roy Wood Jr, who's African American,

I met I met at Egyptian, Egyptian, all of the, you know, the diversity couldn't be more clear,

but it wasn't even about that. It was about funny. And then they still were saying you haven't represented everybody in your show, right? That's the thing that will kill Hollywood and it looks like it's happening. We are right, I radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Hartley, it's Red Eye Radio. We are Red Eye Radio, and he's our currently non-Gerry McNamara.

“Now, the one thing, you know, we see no oil prices, you know, skyrocket and people wonder how”

that will affect the economy. It might be a blip if this war's over in a month, but even before that, because Iran doesn't have an avian anymore. No, right. And the U.S. military is already said, "Well, it's scored every tanker." Yep. Through the straight of or moves. So there's, you know, there's not going to be a problem. And you have, you think about it. You really have unity

with the United States from so many Middle Eastern countries. It's something you've never seen before.

My wife and I were having the conversation we were traveling over the weekend and we were having

“the conversation and we were both kind of just dumb-founded that this is actually happening.”

You know, because you step outside of the political fray here domestically, you know, the Liberals and, you know, who are going to object anything, Trump does. You know, like we said, they'll joke. He could walk on water and they'll scream. He doesn't know how to swim. You know, I mean, it's, it's that thing that they, you know, it's built in. They can't go any other direction. With the exception of federalmen, right? But you look outside of that. You look at the,

at the, this consensus in the Middle East, with the exception of the Iran Iranian regime, what's left of it. And it is positive. It is that this had to happen and they're thankful that it has.
