03-20-26 Part One - The News Speaks for Itself

They're just talking about the story and then they're talking about the story.

No, I don't know. This story is my safe space. Do you know everything about it? Yes, exactly. This story is the story of the story that I just understood.

The story is about the job or about it. The story is about it. I don't know how to understand it. - The story is about it. - Save. With this story.

(upbeat music) 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.

I'm Gary McNamara, he's our currently.

“Should we do it again, start the show today with audio cuts?”

Yes. Because really, and it's been for a while, but the show, and I know we should be sitting there saying, we work so hard, and yeah, we do. I mean, we pay attention to everything that's going on,

but it just gets easier and easier and easier and easier. Because of audio cuts that are out there. But today, we'll start with an audio cut from Trump. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If we're going any further, all right?

OK, there he is, sitting with the Japanese Prime Minister. And as we all know, you've got Japan and then five other nations that are now our allies. And there was a hint of that yesterday's two days ago when the head of NATO came out and said,

don't know, we're going to be involved in this. We have no choice. And we said before that, look, they don't have a choice, because they got to protect their own interests in the straight. That's just the way, that's the reality.

And we went on to explain why and insurance and everything else

“with the tankers and that they probably would get involved.”

And of course, they have, but you had one Japanese reporter say, why didn't you tell Japan before the Iran war, before you went in? And this was Trump's response. As who knows better about surprise than Japan?

OK, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? OK, right? Oh, you heard that-- oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. It's the early day of the war. Now they are our allies.

They are on our side now. Yes, I couldn't even get that on the deck. I think I got vapor lock. Of course, we know they are. There's no reason to believe they're not.

You know, we have a good relationship. Wait a minute. I mean, it was a surprise attack. Right. We did know.

Yeah, we didn't know. I mean, we sort of had it. I thought the liberal media would just boom, just jump all over that all day long. And there's no going to go on it.

“Well, there isn't because, first of all, on that point, how do you debate him?”

You can talk about there's a time and place for saying something or asking something like that. But here's my question. Too soon? I mean, you know, we're okay with Japan.

They're okay with us. Yeah. But move on. Hey, cheap trick is still popular over there. Right.

Well, I'm a Buddha con. One of the greatest albums ever. Period. I want you. By the way, I hate that.

Yeah. I want you to want me.

Well, I never, I don't know why.

And I actually like, I like cheap trick early on and then I like some of their stuff afterwards and they're great live. They're absolutely great. Oh, my gosh. They crush it live.

But yeah, yeah. I saw him on a small stage at an air force base. They're playing the opposite club in a friend of mine worked there. I was not an officer in the air force to be clear. But he got me in and it was kind of between their hits basically at a time.

But the, I don't know who hired him. I mean, the military hired them. I don't know if it was a USO type thing or not. But it was on a military base. And it was, I mean, mind boggling how great it was.

And yeah, the, the, the life in Japan thing was a thing back in the day. Judas Priest did unleashed in the East, which is also one of the greatest live albums ever. Weasers huge over there. Yeah.

Mr. Big. Mr. Big. Mr. Big. I would, uh, Billy Shane. Yeah.

I mean, it's, it's just unbelievable. You know what funny thing is, I didn't know until a couple of years ago.

I always thought surrender was basically a teenage anthem, you know, saying don't surrender

to your parents. It's the opposite. Yeah. Right. Surrender is about your parents who are partying too hard.

Yeah. It's a mom of dad got my kiss record. Exactly. And I just, you know, I never just, I just didn't pay attention to lyrics for decades and all of a sudden, but don't give yourself away.

Right. And what? Right. Right.

“I think of Craig T. Nelson in Rowland Numbers.”

Yeah. Remember? Right. That's partying and, and your mom was, uh, in the, uh, the military in World War II. Right.

Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.

And it's basically your strict parents who became partiers.

Right. Right. And sort of your embarrassed by it. I think of Craig T. Nelson and Poltergeist where they, you know, the parents in the very beginning of the movie, the, the parents put the kids to bed downstairs and then upstairs, you

know, mom comes in the room. There's dad, Craig T. Nelson firing up a joint. Not coach. Yes. Uh, maybe maybe now we know why they saw ghosts.

But, uh, yeah. Because I've ever think of that one. They weren't really pulled. They were guys. Wasn't pulled, guys.

They were. It was really good weed. What do they sprinkle in there? Yeah. Exactly.

But, uh, another audio cut, all right. Great. What do you got? Another audio cut.

This is, uh, this is just great.

It's Steven A Smith. Yeah. The, uh, representative, uh, Kevin Kylie from, uh, from California. All right. All right.

And listen to this. This is just, I don't know why because there's been some great audio cuts this week. Yeah. And the hopeful one we got to play again.

Oh, people are going on. Great. Yes. I sent it to my buddies and they were just, my buddies in New York. And they were, they were posting all over the place on it on social media going,

what, what, what in the world, yeah, and, and I, and I searched out. I did search out for anybody who, uh, felt a extreme amount of patriotism, all of my, my buddies from New York, who had a great deal of patriotism for New York and are willing to pay more taxes because of the great patriotism towards New York. Right.

I couldn't find any. Yeah. As I said, that whole concept when she said, talked about, you know, uh, you know, the patriotism of coming back and paying your taxes so we can have these generous benefits.

When she put the term patriotism, I grew up in New York and like I said, there's no patriotism towards New York State. Right. I've never heard of it.

“And, and I grew up there and it's like, wow, that's what made it so hilarious.”

And, and that went viral, but this is Steven A. Smith, here we go. Ready? All right. Ready for this? All right.

Let's go. I think the fact that we don't have voter ID in places like California is extremely unusual. In democracies across the globe. There's maybe like two or three democracies in the world that don't have it.

This is just kind of like a small administrative requirement in a well-functioning democracy. So I think we should just have it. We should get this out on to move on with our lives, you know, it shouldn't be a big controversial issue.

It's, excuse me, for being so ignorant, asking last question, this is definitely my last question. What do you mean you don't have voter ID in California? Could you please elaborate specifically on that for my audience that may not know? Yeah.

Well, California does not have voter ID. You don't need to present it to register. You don't need to present it to vote. As a matter of fact, the past, the state passed a law for bidding voter ID. So, so cities, counties, if they're bidding, they're not allowed to understate

law. What? What? What did that happen? A couple years ago, because I think it was Orange County, they wanted to have their

own requirements of the state passed a law saying, no, you're not allowed to. But voter ID is not only not required, it is actively forbidden. That's right. That's right. That's why it's safe.

That's why it's safe. It's safe. It's safe. California.

“That's what the Republicans are going to lean on.”

It's an excuse. They've definitely pushed off the safe. Right there. Right there. I can't believe it.

Now, if you heard in the beginning, he was interrupting when the representative, the Republican representative was talking about it. Even a Smith's eyes were as wide as I've ever seen, as large as I've ever seen his eyes. He was just like, what are you talking about? He had no idea.

And this is what we call. It's like somebody just told him Tom Brady was not a good quarterback. Yes. Yes. And the thing is, when I saw that, I mean, a lot of the scores were coming in from March madness

and all that, and I'm like, do the fact, I mean, that's what he really does, the vast majority of the time. But it shows you even from somebody who said he's not, but he said a couple of months

He didn't even know, and that's his state. Yeah. He lives in California. Yeah. He did not.

This is where it never happened.

“This is where the Democrats win on ignorance.”

Now, we have gone from, you know, the ignorance to this week, because we're here at Friday and we look at this entire week, what came out this, you know, really this week. And this week is when it really became what we view as a official policy on voter ID from the Democrats. I mean, they were still now, I didn't hear them hitting minorities, they were hitting women.

If women change their name, they've got to, they've got to go and register and bring an ID to show who they are. Well, yeah, that's, we've always known that, you know, that's nothing, that's nothing big there. But it was like now, women are incapable.

And maybe they said, well, look, we cannot hit minorities anymore, because that's viewed as racist. But since we have promoted the radical transgender movement, and we have no problem with males, showing their genitals to females and locker rooms or men competing against sports or mocking and being misogynists against women saying, what you can't compete against men, you

know, weeks, sex, you. Who was it that recently said, what's, I don't see anything wrong with men playing in women's sports. I used to wrestle women all the time and I want every time. Who was that?

It said that. Who was that? I forgot how that was. It wasn't, we're not thinking of the late comedian Andy Kaufman, by the way. No.

We'll figure out here. And then you had that, you had that state representative in Arizona questioning the competitiveness

“of the, I believe it was a volleyball player or aren't you competitive, you don't want”

to play men. I, they're okay with them. I will say this still to me, that's still one of the most shocking things ever. The way decades upon decades of me growing up from the time that I was, you know, that I can remember the women's rights movement in this country that just went boom, exit

stage left, out the door, jettison, catapulted out. Yeah. Done. What put? Why?

Because the man says so. I just, I found it, it's just, it doesn't make any sense why the liberal women's rights movement, where women were everything in the blink of an eye said, no, the man controls everything. We do it because the man says so.

Yeah.

It's never made any sense.

They've never been forced to explain it. Well, you know, what's interesting is that years ago, we said it. We draw a conclusion not to the point of definitive, but we said there's no way that it's not going to get to this point because you're not going to roll this back and there's no way.

And we will get pushed back on it. All guys come on, forget slippery slope, slippery slope, trust me, I tried to build one the other day. It takes like 50 years, this is straight to exactly what they want it. So even yesterday, I mean, I saw some of the Democrat members are Congress talking about

women. They're not doing minorities anymore because they were being called racist by conservative blacks and Hispanics saying, what are you talking about that we don't have the capability to have to have a photo ID stopping racist. So then you had Bernie Sanders and then you had Gavin Newsom come out here in the last

10 days and basically say we're idiots.

“So the new philosophy, that's what we've learned this week.”

The new philosophy of the Democrats is not you who vote for us don't have the capability to do what the average American can do. We're all idiots. Yeah. We're the leaders, we're your leaders, we're idiots.

We're the idiot leaders of the idiot party. Yeah. And we are completely incompetent. We cannot do simple tasks. And so they become the permanent victim and the Republicans who are a smart people, they're

the oppressors and so that's what it's become now. The victims, the Democrat victims are all idiots including their leaders. That's where we are here on March 20th, 2026. That's the party of idiots, leading idiots, we're not saying that. That's not our accusation against the Democratic Party.

That's what Newsom and Bernie Sanders and others are communicating to the Democratic voter. Yeah. Yep. That's just amazing.

This is, you know, again, they count on the willfully ignorant. Yeah. Right there. Even A Smith, Steven A Smith had no idea what's going on in California.

As a resident of the state and as somebody who has become somebody in the arena of ideas on a national level. Right. Right. Exactly.

“And that's just said, you know, we deal with ignorance and misinformation is what we talk”

about more than anything now. We really don't argue, it will be sort of the arguing, the points that you can't argue. That's why they're losing on voter ID. It's simple. You saw that the Senate put one of the senators putting a bill just for voter ID.

Right. And stand alone. Yeah. Stand alone. And the Democrats still refused it.

They blocked it still. And we know why, because the Democrats want fraud in elections. The Democrats believe they cannot win an election without non-citizens voting. Right. Otherwise they wouldn't do it.

It wouldn't be an issue. Yeah. Fine. Let's go. Let's move on.

Why else would you be afraid to do it? We are right. Radio. Brought to you by hot shot secret. Hi.

I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller. Due to safety concerns, many motor carriers have policies that limit or prohibit the use of cruise control.

“You should only use it in good driving conditions during daylight hours and on roads that”

have light traffic, few curves or hills and a consistent speed limit.

Never use cruise control when operating in adverse driving conditions, including wet, icy

or slippery roads. During brush hour and heavy traffic or on congested highways at night or when you're tired or fatigued. You want to be controlling and adjusting your speed as you drive instead of having to suddenly break if you encounter an obstacle.

In the case of a slippery road surface, you want to be able to slow your vehicle by not accelerating instead of using the brakes whenever possible. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com. Get in touch with Red Eye Radio, toll-free at 8.6, maybe Red Eye.

We are Red Eye Radio. He is our Carly and I'm hearing Matt Mammara, welcome and good morning. Thanks for being here. We made it to a Friday, another crazy week, just absolutely crazy. It's just getting so crazy.

Seriously. You know, we didn't even talk about it. We were some audio coming up by saw earlier Mark Helper and on his podcast talking about that they're getting nervous in California because the top two, the top two right now and you know, that's how they vote, you know, they run off the ranking, the rank voting right

now, according to your most polls, it would be two Republicans running against each other for governor.

“And that's why a couple of weeks ago, I think it was when Steve Hilton was talking about”

the bad. Look at the lead we're gaining and I'm thinking to myself, you don't want that lead because the Democrat in one poll moved into second place because you've got basically

30 to 35 percent of California will need to vote for you.

So if you've got the top two in the rank shows voting, when it comes to election time, well, then Republicans win, if not, you're not going to win. Right. So let's not criticize the other Republican too harshly. That's an awkward debate, right?

It should be. We think each other, if they have, if they're, you know, I can see the debate, the debate. Oh, we love each other. We either want of us would be fine. Listen, I vote for him, you know, I approve his message.

But could you imagine, you know, with the rank voting and everything else, you know, how they, you know, the top, we're not, that's not the rank voting. That it's just, they put everybody in on one and it's right. Yeah.

And whoever the top two is, if you don't, if you don't get 50 percent boom, you, you vote,

that's not the rank choice voting though. Sorry, but, it would just be, it would be hilarious if that happened. It would just be hilarious. Yeah, I'd love to see it. You know, is it that bad, keep in mind, Newsom survived a recall years ago, you know,

the fact that they got enough signatures for a recall, that was a big deal, but he survived it. And so, you know, he's had to put pretty good grip, the liberals have had a very good grip on California for the longest time. Can a Republican become a governor again and a real Republican become a governor of California?

We've never really got to talk about sees our Chavez and the whole situation there.

We'll get that coming up here in just a minute and a half. So yesterday, I was doing a project for my wife. I'm building a pathway in her vegetable garden before she plants everything. And I worked out in the sun for it was a few hours, more than a few hours. But I was hauling big bags of mulch, hundreds of pounds of mulch, and all kinds of stuff

to build this pathway. And when I woke up this evening, no pain. Thanks to relief factor. I really believe in relief factor. I want you to get the same results that I get from relief factor.

Relief factor is 100% drug free research-based formula.

“It was created to help the body's natural inflammatory response function for key ingredients.”

Dr. Mitten talked with me about that. In fact, we did a recent podcast. You can listen to that. It's just a very simple, simple thing to do every day. Relief factor.

I want this for you. And here's what you do. You try relief factors three week quick start, just 1995. Visit reliefactor.com or call 800-number four relief. Relieffactor.com or 800-number four relief.

Use red eye at the drop down for your three week quick start at 1995. You know, you and I remember being a local talk show host here in Dallas, I forgot what it has to be between 2000-2005. And I remember the Dallas City Council wanted to rename one of the roads. You know, the, these are Chavez Road.

Yeah. And I think they did it. They eventually did it. Yeah. And it was, you know, it was a controversy at that time.

Now, they're going to have to figure out how to change the name again.

The New York Times exposes that ran on Wednesday, you know, basically.

And it just wasn't the one woman who worked with him. Right. There was a basically a pattern of sexual abuse and rape. And boom, gone. Yeah.

Everywhere. California, you name it, you know, his organization. And by the way, saw this because the, the, the stuff on it was was really, really fascinating, just the, the comments you saw on social media like, well, let's be honest, the Democrats only care about this because Chavez was against illegal immigration.

I went, oh, wow. Yeah. I mean, for a week for it to come up. I think we've talked about this before. Yes, we have talked about it.

Yeah. And he's just like, wow. Wow. And again, I don't, I don't know why the New York Times or the media in general decided now, you know, that this is the time for an investigation or whether she came forward or what

happened. I don't know how this all started. But it's interesting that it all happened as we're in the middle of the discussion of illegal immigration, drivers, license, everything, sanctuary cities that this came up because this was, you know, Chavez was one of the most, I probably would be a hero

of the left and the Democratic party. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and we, and so I know we had said it back then we said, because this is when the Democrats were coming out has to be in the last couple of years that we brought it

up. And he said, yeah, but he was against illegal immigration. Right.

“And they completely against illegal immigration, maybe that's what for, for that, that”

reason. Yeah. Maybe that's what it was. Yeah. Somebody was using him to promote illegal immigration.

It's like, don't you even know what you're talking about? Right. Right. So, you know, that, his, his labor organization, let me, where was it here?

The Chavez Foundation had more than 40 million in revenue in 2024 and more than $260

The foundation issue of statement stating, we are deeply shocked and sad by what we are

hearing.

“You must wonder how much longer they will still be called the Chavez Foundation.”

Well, and, but if you're not the Chavez Foundation, can you raise any money? Yeah, that's, that's the question, what do you, what do you call it? What do you, what are you trying to do? What is, what is your goal, what, what, what becomes your mission? Right.

Um, at California, uh, it has had Saisers Chavez Day, and now, of course, they're going to rename that.

I don't know who they're going to, I don't know who they're going to honor, don't know

what they'll call the day. And this is, you know, the left builds these heroes quite often. And it is, I think to a large extent, part of the building out the, willfully ignorant thing to be the driver, right? We need somebody who's not accountable at the moment, right, not in office here in the

States, not, you know, not a current figure where you can go after this person on social media. We need this hero that we can create and use this hero in every which way.

“And I don't remember what that issue was when we were talking about it a few years”

ago, but it came out that he was against illegal immigration, because the workers that he was looking to stand for did not benefit from illegals coming across and working. And, you know, this is, again, the left didn't care about the facts then, but now they do, because then, and you can see it across the board. And I wondered the other day, if this were the New York Post or something or Fox News

that came out with this information, and not the New York Times, would it have fallen as hard, would they try and challenge it, would they have, would there have been, because there seems to be no one trying to defend in a big way, the allegations here. Yeah, I only on social media did you see comments on it, right, right, and it would be a comment.

It would be the original post, which was like, wait a minute, you know, this is, this is like a cavenal thing, this is going back, you know, this is going back, you know, decades upon decades upon decades, but it would be a comment on it. There really wasn't a narrative that was created by anybody in any sort of political power structure at all, right.

There are more than 100 places in the United States named at this international review, named after the labor leader and civil rights activist, streets, libraries, elementary, middle, and high schools, buildings on college campuses and campuses themselves, Berkeley, Denver, Las Vegas, Long Beach, Medesto, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, and Seattle have parks or plazas named after Chavez.

His birthday is an official state holiday in California. This is home and grave are part of a national monument.

“The U.S. National Park Service Rights at Chavez is widely recognized as the most important”

Latino leader in the United States during the 20th century. That's a quote, well, and wow, boom. And like I said, we had said before, when they used Chavez to in a way to promote, this would be built that would ignorant of him on the left, and ignorance, as we talked about on the left, which is, ignorance does not mean you're stupid, ignorance means you lack the facts, you

know, believe and have used him to promote illegal immigration before, and then have quickly had to, you know, been snap back when it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he was not for illegal immigration.

You know, stop, it's sort of, but always reminded me of him, we probably made the comparison

and it's the way that the left use uses still today Martin Luther King to promote identity politics, which he was against, right, which is judging people by groups of not individuals, right, he was against that, and yet they promote him, and we have, you know, many times, not as much lately because the left, when it's Martin Luther King day, aren't really throwing out the same rhetoric that they were before, and I don't know why.

It doesn't seem like, I mean, it's just because social media, there's a million other things to talk about now, yeah, that could be it too, but you don't, you don't say, they still will, they're called on it when they do, but the, the, the, the Chavez thing to me was always, you know, really interesting.

up on 21 years as a team, the people come and go, building out heroes in any way.

“I, I think all of us maybe have some personal heroes, our parents, that kind of thing,”

but building out these political heroes, to me is that I, I don't know the, the end game where it gets you. The humans come and go, the ideas remain. Now, I can say things like the potential of what's happening with the ran right now, and the decisions made against Iran. President Trump, put, again, potentially could go down as one of the greatest presidents ever, in changing the trajectory of the Middle East, and also the energy

behind state sponsored terrorism. Again, potentially, I don't know that it will do that,

but I see great potential there in the way that it's being handled so far. The way that

“you see now, Japan and European allies coming on board in the straight, they really had”

no choice in that way. That doesn't mean they're getting involved in the war, but it's kind of an endorsement of, hey, we understand this has to happen. They're not, they're not doing the opposite of protesting and saying, we will not play any part in this. I mean, you still, again, you might have your holdouts along the way, but the turn of other Middle Eastern nations. I was going to mention that when you, we look at the turn of other Middle

Eastern nations when you look at the, the Abraham Accords. Yeah, you know, because when you look at it, when you take the entire, if we want to call it body of work over there and what potentially could happen, no, it would be, it would be mind boggling because you would change the trajectory of where the planet is going on the Middle East, which nobody, and again, we're not there yet, but you can see that potentially it could be reached. Yeah. Yeah. And even if it's

not reached, you're moving in that direction instead of the direction that Islamic radical terrorism controls the Middle East. Right. Right. And that in itself, because it's not necessarily that you ever come to a final conclusion. Right. It's, it's like, you know, will war tune in solve all of our problems. Exactly. Yeah. It's, you know, there's not it. Nothing's an absolute right, but it's, are you moving in the right direction? And if you look at it, it's because of what Trump

did and Trump, I look at it. I'm going, did it alone? Yeah. No, that, that I mean, the Republican Party has come behind him. And I'm not saying that there aren't people that don't support what he is doing because there are. And when you look at the potential, it's like, whoa. Yeah. Right. You know, you have, you have people that don't like Trump, but are like, my God, if this thing works out and we get, you know, the trajectory of where this could lead,

the direction of where it could send the Middle East and therefore the world is mind boggling.

The, the things we would never think could possibly happen. Right. And there's a possibility

it could happen. Yeah. And so, you know, so it's, for me, in that case, I'm not necessarily, I, the left has to build a hero and they're, and I understand that both sides have their level

“of, uh, the tribalism. But the fact is, I can look at someone as, that, who's in power,”

someone that I voted for multiple times, not in one election to be clear. I can look at someone and say, these, all these things look at the potential, these, of these things, and this person gets the credit. And with the Middle East, that potential is there. And Donald Trump, if that potential plays out long term, will absolutely get the credit, because history doesn't care. History doesn't have that tribalism. Uh, it's not going to, I know there's revisionist history,

but history will look back on the turn of the Middle East if that is to happen. And I believe there's great potential that it will. And it will not be the same social media judgment

McNamara and Eric Carley, it's Red Eye Radio. Here when I radio, he's here,

“Crony, and I'm Gary McNamara. One of the reasons that with Trump said about, uh, you know,”

Pearl Harbor to the Japanese Prime Minister isn't going to go anywhere, even though some from the left tried to make it goes somewhere is this. He also said this. I want to play this audio here. Thank you. This year, we're honored to receive an additional 250 territories and they're very big, beautiful trees from the great people of Japan in recognition of America's 250th anniversary. And they will remind every future generation of our timeless bond.

There you go. Yeah. Uh, and Jake Tapper was like, you know, she wasn't born.

She was even born when Pearl Harbor happened. Yeah. Somebody went back to him. Neither was Trump. He was a joke. That's a joke.

“Now to the hour news is brought to you by how products is that how products.com.”

This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One. 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

All across America, we are what I radio. He is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning. Made it for Friday. Happy Friday, everybody. All right. So let's look at the, the, the, the lies here on, on voter ID. There's the save act for example. Tammy Duckworth, Senator Duckworth, put out nine hours ago. Under the save act, you cannot use your driver's license to register to vote. Republicans want you to buy a passport instead. If you can afford it, this is a modern day

poll tax, Mike Lee responds false. This is a lie. Read the bill, lying 20, the beginning, the text beginning at lying 22 on page 12, that is absolutely false. Here's Senator John Hickenlooper here. I'm going to play this audio. Here we go. It requires every voter to dig through their basement, go up into their attic and try to find their birth certificate. Right. Find their passport just so they can register to vote. Something

as the Republicans have said, that is completely false. That's another lie. And so that's where they are right now. It's just outright lies. They haven't won the American public over in these weeks. Have they? No. No, they have the pulse of not shown that it's moved at all. In fact, I would say over time, you know, not maybe not in recent weeks, but over time, you've got more support from the American public on voter ID. It's a very simple, you don't have to go

“too deep here. Should you have to show photo ID when you vote? People understand a very simple”

rule like that in today's world. By the way, who's keeping their stuff in their attic? I. Hey, by the way, we can call Governor Newson and tell him to look in his attic. Maybe it's up there because he doesn't even know where his birth certificate is. Neither does it burning. And as you pointed out, and it's true, you call the Soviet Union. I'm sure they have a copy. Right. The city of Moscow. That's right. They've got to write the old Soviet Union. Right. You can't say

you can tell I'm a cold, more baby. Because it's like, no, no, no, it's got to call the Soviet. Got to call the Soviet records. Right. Parts, not the Russia. You got to go back because they probably separated Soviet, and then we became Russia. Well, do you think the answer to the funds that it died? Oh, can I help you? Oh, no, you want Soviet record? No, no, very please hold them. They put you through to Soviet. This is Russia. It's, it's probably a, you know,

one of these things where you just, I mean, and they know they're lying to try and make the argument. What you just heard there was sheer stupidity. I mean, think about if you had them,

bad soup crazy land. You just have people will have to go into their addicts. They may have to dig it up from a jar in their backyard. As we have said, they lost the racist argument. Yeah, they did. It's very important to keep repeating this over and over again. They lost the racist argument. Remember, they did it in Georgia. We've been here already. Yeah. This is the allegation of Jim Crow

2.0 for the second time. Yeah. Right. Yeah, because this is the second Jim Crow 2.0. Right.

That they've had they attempted it with Georgia. It didn't happen. Right. Everything they said was going to happen didn't happen. More people voted. Everybody is happy with it. You can't find a demographic that's not happy with it in Georgia. Right. They lied about it. Right. They heard the minority

“community businesses by moving the all-star game. Yeah. Remember that they moved the all-star”

game from Georgia. Yeah. They moved it. Right. In an area where minority owned businesses would have benefited from that game and they moved it to a much wider where was it? Was it Arizona

Colorado or somewhere where they moved it to. Yeah. But it's baseball and it's in all-star

game. Yeah. Nobody pissed. Nobody cares. But it was something that would have benefited the again minority owned businesses in that area and they said and they so they did. They said they were fighting racism by taking that opportunity away from the minorities that owned those business. And that's why it was such a big deal for me a couple of weeks ago when they started dropping that. You know, when they started dropping and they went to no no were the Democrat party

and were idiots too. We don't know how to find our own birth certificates either. Right. That you're not. You look, we know you vote for us in your bunch of idiots. But we're idiots too. We have no idea how to do basic simple common tasks that people do every day. And to me that was I thought was fascinating because they were losing it. Yeah. And there were a couple of focus focus groups on some of the networks that you and I had where you had black

“conservatives say, I remember the one black conservative woman look up. There's this, you know,”

young white kid going because it just infringes his minorities because what are you talking about? That's racist. What are you talking about? Right. You're this young punk and you're telling me that I don't have the capability to do it. That's racist. And you and I noticed we said, okay, they seem to have dropped it. The only one they're using now is women. But that's because they believe they're winning the radical transgender movement. They believe that massageny and sexism

is a winning formula for the Democratic Party through the radical transgender movement. So yesterday, I think it was Padilla was still out there talking about and women and women and women won't be able to devote. So I think they've said, okay, we got to stop the racism stuff. So we got to pretend we're all idiots as Democrat leaders because we don't know how to do any of this stuff. It's just hard. And as you said during the break, but we can continue to hit women. Exactly. And as you said

during the break, you know, they may have a point with women. But I'll just say this. He didn't say that. Yeah. It's just a joke. Well, how do you know we didn't say it? We couldn't hear it. You said you said it all the year. Provee didn't say it. Provee didn't say it. The next amount of files. Here we go.

“But no, it's this absurdity. I can't imagine. Because again, I think of calling my dad, right?”

Calling dad. And then my dad would just go, so how's it going? If I had to come up with these absurd

arguments, if I were on the floor as a lawmaker or something like that, first of all, if I

started to run for office, he'd call me and say, so how's it going? But if that were the case, and I were coming up with these absurd arguments, you know, I love the fact that I can still have these many talk shows in my dad's living room when I go to see them. And I look at that. I look at, you know, my buddies or my family, my friends or anybody that would approach me, did you really say that out loud? Are you really trying to make it with new some?

It's not really much of a surprise. With Bernie, it's not really much of a surprise. We know

He isn't. He is. He's embarrassingly handsome. He is freedom. He's embarrassingly handsome.

“He's embarrassingly handsome. Oh, we, we even, even we read blooded heterosexual men. No,”

we know that. We know that. We know that. We, they're sorry. If he's in the room, he's got to put our hoodies on. In case we go wonder, COVID masks, in case people wonder, what are you talking about? Yes, because, uh, was it Katie, was it Katie Carter? Who was it who said that you're embarrassingly handsome? Yeah, it's like, yeah, a reporter would definitely say that to a Republican or wouldn't they? Yeah, of course. And, you know, it's, but it's, he's not that

smart of a person. How he and Mayor Bass bungled. Miss handled completely the wildfire situation.

I think right there, that's the difference. You know, the debate between Newsome and Desantis was one thing, and it was, it was really horrible for Newsome. But the handling of state emergencies, and local emergencies by a governor, look at Desantis's records and, and everything that he's handled with all of the hurricanes and storms that they have gone through since he's been governor, and look at what Newsome hasn't done and his excuse making all along the way. He was out there yesterday

saying it again, that all the fires were caused by climate change. Yeah, it's like, no, wasn't one was ours. Right. The other was utility. Like exactly. He's on climate change. And it's widely known.

“And again, that's why Bjorn Lumberg, who again believes that man has affected temperatures,”

but he believes that everything that the Democrats have done is the wrong thing to do. And he's outright, you know, saying, look, the, you know, worldwide wildfires are way down down 50% and just the last decade. Right. The place where it's up is California and he goes, that's because it's forced management. It's actually, you know, in these rural areas, it's the management of fuel. Yeah. No, it's not clearing them out. California has the problem

because they wish not to solve the problem. Exactly. So the, the California government is the reason that it's happening. So they can blame climate change. So they can tax you more. Yep. Yep. It's absurd. It really is absurd. And you got the equipment. They keep winning elections.

“Democrats keep winning elections. They keep, because you think about it. We talked earlier about the”

others's possibility. They're, they're basically a Republican governor in California. And

we'll see where that goes. But there's not going, what there won't be is this huge turnaround of conservative market-based principles and throughout the entire party that runs California the state government. That's not going to happen. There's not going to be that. And you're not going to see and, and got bless our friends in, you know, Orange County, Kern County, and all the conservative areas, more conservative areas in, in California. They're fighting the good fight.

But the fact of the matter is, I don't believe in our lifetime. We're going to see that turnaround. And that's a shame. Imagine again. And this is all from choices. This isn't because of a natural disaster or anything else. It's choices that drive the economy downward. Drive billionaires out of the state, drive people workers out of the state, companies out of the state, when Chevron left California, that should have been the wake-up calls, called of all wake-up calls.

Exxon leaving New Jersey? Yes. What? Then last Sunday? Exactly. Because you've got to go where your business can survive, not where they're trying to come in. And, and take every dime of what you have either on a personal level or as a corporation. You know, and the, when we play it, we'll play it again. We got to play Hulkel again because that we may play that every day for the rest of the year. No, seriously. Because it was, it was,

it's, it's just, it's so bad. But they try the Democrats now. We're trying to make it a competition. Yeah. Yeah. Where we look at it as conservatives and say, we want a strong California. We want a strong New York. We want capital, more capitalist principles in Illinois.

it benefits everyone. Yep. It's become a competition because you've gone bad soup crazy.

“You've rejected free markets and believe that the government in control of the capital,”

the government direction, that a monopoly direction of business is the way to go. Yeah. It doesn't work. The reason you're having the, and this is what we said. I don't know what's going to happen in the midterms. You know, the public is very price sensitive. Republicans could lose because of this. But long term, I don't know where the future is for the Democrats at all. Yeah. I don't know where the future is. I cannot tell you. I don't know

either where it is because they don't seem to want to change on anything. Right. And that, and that's

sad. I don't view the United States economy as competition. You're doing bad. How we're doing good

because if you're doing good, that benefits us. Yeah. A strong California Illinois, New York,

“any of the other liberal states out there. If you're stronger, if you've got growth,”

that helps Texas. It helps everybody. Yep. And so we're not the ones that are creating this competition. You are by rejecting free markets and them having the belief that a monopoly of a socialist government running capital, which is the money, is better than the free markets. And it doesn't work. That's the Democrats. The problem you have is what your promoting doesn't work. Yeah. We are right. I radio. This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by

House products tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. And encouraging innovation through research to protect our nation's AG ecosystem said food security. The attempt of a new competitive grant program conducted by USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture. According to

“NIFA Administrator Jay Habby, the rapid response grant process is competitive. It opens up”

that application window for a large number of applicants. Not just lab rat universities and cooperative extension, but public and private partnerships as well. Also eligible for grants, community and youth development entities and for each provided their applications aligned with program emphasis areas. Applications are accepted on a continuing basis with a 180 days of a qualified pest or disease event. The administrator adds, "Well, it's going to impact and

can impact farms on all skill. We tend to see the most profound impact with some of these emerging and re-emerging issues with those small and mid-sized farms. So we want to make sure that we engage on that front as well." I'm Ryan Bane reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senax Fughals and Loots. [Music]

We are when I radio, he's our company and I'm Gary McNamara. Yes, just reading this here, it's interesting because just was written yesterday, Democrats don't have a growth program, Roy to share it. Now Roy to share is a lifelong Democrat who has the website for liberal patriot and he's been looking at the Democrats for years and going, "You can't do this." And his whole thing is about the Democrats talk about

basically, they don't talk about growth, they don't talk about that kind of growth.

Look, when we criticize Republicans on things that they do, it's when they believe that the government should control more of the capital. When they talk about the fact that the monopoly of the federal government, for example, we don't believe the federal government should be involved in any equity in any company at all. No. You know, the Trump has says that having stake and cut no, completely wrong. Well, but Trump may do the right thing with it,

be able to Democrats might not. Right. And then they get run with it. Right. No, don't don't want it. And when we criticize Republicans, we criticize them for the exact same reason we criticize Democrats because it's not about people and it's not about the label of the party. It's what you believe politically, morally, and economically that we criticize. We don't care about the people involved. Right. We don't care what your name is. If you

promote something that's pure BS or politically, as we like to call it, poop for the peasants, that's another thing that Dad told me a lot of my father. That was, that came from my father.

I can still have. It's not as great as it used to be, but when I see my dad, I can still have.

Some political conversations with him. Yeah. And that's really, it's really a blessing, you know, to be able to have that. When you, I just wanted to make you mention that because you mentioned your dad still having to have a little talk show. I still get to have it. Not all the time, not as frequently as we used to, because at times his mind just doesn't want to go there. But yeah, many times we still do and that's still a blessing when I get to have that. But yeah,

right to share a right here. And he's been pounding on the Democrats going, they've got no plan,

“they've got no plan, they've got no plan. Right. And I think he looks the same way we do.”

But prices could hurt the Republicans in this midterm. But what about the future of the Democrats?

What are they promoting that will move the country forward? Right. Nobody knows. It's just, they're not Trump. [ Music ] Observing and analyzing the insanity, Eric Hurley and Gary McNamara, might be on Red Eye Radio.

And he is there, Crony, and I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome and good morning. Download our Red Eye Radio app today and you can listen when and where you choose. So, thank you. I had mentioned, and this really goes because Bernie Sanders was on this week. In fact yesterday, he was on Elon Musk, Bezos, and the billionaire. He's on the billionaire thing again. The billionaires are the reason that the country's failing.

“You know, basically that's what the narrative is, which is completely and totally false.”

It's the complete opposite. Yeah. But Roy to share a talk about it as I said, he runs the liberal Patriot website and you can find this article on realclearpolitics.com. Democrats don't have a growth program. And he talks about the whole thing with affordability. And we can look at, you know, for example, Spamberger when she ran in Virginia for affordability. What's affordability? We tax everybody. Yeah. Right. Let's tax everybody and that will make things affordable.

You know, and it's just, it's the most bizarre thing ever. If government takes it over, we'll make it more affordable. Right. And he writes here, hence the slogan affordability. If voters don't feel things are affordable, well, we'll promise to make things affordable. Of course, that's not much of an economic program. And by definition, has nothing to do with growth. The result has been a grab bag of price caps and controls,

subsidies, and new regulations, making taxes more expensive to subsidize things, making more regulations, which makes things more expensive. They do the opposite.

And you and I always go back to Obama talking 2008, would have been early to the summer of 2008.

Right. Because gas prices were high. Right. And Obama's speaking at a campaign rally. And Houston, Texas, and Houston. And says, "Are you sick and tired of paying such high gas prices? They all scream, "Yes, yes, yes, yes. Do you want them to be lower?" Yes, yes. Well, if I become president, we will put a windfall's profit tax on all the oil companies. Yay! And this isn't the beginning, but it was just another chapter of the evidence that we always

bring to you that Democrats believe that people that vote for them are complete morons and idiots. Yeah. Because he communicated with you and you answered back that prices are too high. And his solution was to tax the oil companies. And if there's anything that the American public knows, we thought this was universal. That when the price, when the cost of doing business with the oil companies, goes up immediately, you see it at the gas gas. Yes, you know it. Right.

So he communicated with you. He asked you the question to all of our liberal friends out there. Our gas prices too high. And you said, "Yes, do you want them lower?" You said, "Yes." And then he told you, "Good. I'll raise gasoline prices and you all cheered." Now, Obama's sitting back going, "My God, they think I'm some type of deity."

“These people are complete idiots. Yeah. I can sell them anything. And that's what I think”

to share is talking about here, about the whole affordability that you hear from Democrats. The result has been a grab bag. And remember, this is a lifelong Democrat. The result has been a grab bag of price caps and controls, subsidies and new regulations

that Democrats want to do something about the problem. Long-term beneficial effects on the economy

“are neither claimed nor likely. Nearly as popular as affordability and frequently,”

you hear it with the affordability pitch is the populist denunciation of the rich and big companies who are alleged to be responsible for high prices. And nearly everything else that's wrong with the economy. As James Tallarico Democrat candidate for Senate in Texas put it, what I would say is that the only minority destroying this country is billionaires. We are all focused on the wrong one percent. Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare, undocumented people aren't

to funding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians. Countless Democrat politicians have made variations of this claim. Bernie Sanders did it yesterday. But such claims have no logical connection to a coherent economic program

“and certainly have nothing to do with economic growth. What they do connect is what they”

do connect to is well, taxing the rich in particular. There is now a vote of wealth taxes and democratic circles, including the notorious billionaires tax in California. The ballot

initiative that would levier 5 percent tax a net worth over a billion dollars using estimates

inflated by voting control rather than by economic interest. Going further Democrats on the national level have gone back to tax in the rich with free money and that old Republican favorite tax cuts. The Bernie Sanders Rowe Conner proposal would go California one better and make the 5 percent annual well tax would make the 5 percent well tax annual rather than a one time tax levy directing the revenue towards many things. A $3,000 direct payment to every man, woman in

child and a household making $150,000, $12,000 for a family of four free money. Now that's an economic program. The Van Holland proposal taxes incomes rather than wealth and imposes escalating

sur taxes on incomes over 1 million starting at 5% in topping off at 12% of incomes over 5 million.

In this proposal, the revenue raise will be used to eliminate federal income tax for about half of working Americans. Take that Republicans. We may have no idea how to promote economic growth, but we can at least beat you on tax cuts. A more promising Democrat idea with a more serious economic content is the idea of abundance, a Washington Post article described a abundance of approach. As cutting back on environmental reviews, strict zoning labor rules and other obstacles

to prevent government from efficiently building fixing or fostering things people want from housing to energy and axios article summarized the new approach as responding to governing failures in blue cities and states by cutting excess regulations to build more housing energy projects and more. There's been some movement, at least on the state front in implementing

“this approach, but resistance has been fears from key sectors of the Democratic Party. After all,”

those mostly directly connected to the regulations, procedures and bureaucracies that the abundance approach wants to attack, not to mention the countless NGOs to defend them are by and large Democrats. Remember, this is a Democrat, a lifelong Democrat talking about this. Again, this is somebody who, at least, has some kind of clue on economics. Billionaires have nothing to do with the problem that you may have in your life or not. Billionaires, when, for example, Bernie

Sanders says Elon Musk controls, you know, whatever, billions of dollars more than 20 percent,

well, he actually doesn't control it, it's in stocks. Right. Yeah. It's in the American economy, is where it is. It's in the free market. It's money that's available. Yeah, it's money that's available in capital that's available for the private sector to work with. Are the only Billionaires I score in his Jeff Bezos when my stuff doesn't arrive on time? Yeah, exactly, totally different. And everybody does. Bezos. But he gets it. And we've, over the years, we've

broken it down and I don't know how many people along the way, we've demonstrated how they break it down, Milton Friedman and, and, but you talk about how, when you go after Billionaires,

and everything that they invest in. And you're, you're taking it from the economy. This is what

“they love about this. This is what people like Bernie Sanders love about this idea that if they could”

make it happen, that they could basically tax everybody, everybody would be affected by it.

They could bring the economy down. And then, of course, who has to step in when the economy is failing big government more and more? That's exactly the play here. Take the wealth out. And deplete that wealth, keep depleting it until there is no choice, but the government to take over not only the capital, but the means of production and its full on communism. And we know where Bernie stands on that. We know where people like Bernie stand on that. And basically

the Democratic Party stands on that. They would love to have this. The current governor of

“New York wants to hold you captive. We've been told. We got to play that again. And we'll play”

it because it's, it's just, well, it shows you where they are, but you know, the interesting

thing is, because when I was talking to my, my buddies in New York yesterday, and most of them live in Western New York, which is the Buffalo area, they were talking about, you see, where Buffalo wants to raise property taxes, 25% they're running out. Yeah, they're running out of other people's money. Yep. The billionaires are leaving because of what's going on. Go after the people. They're losing tax bases. So what do they do? They have to tax the

middle class. Yep. It's not hard. Yeah. And when it comes to everything that they wish to provide. And we have pounded on this with healthcare when they, when they say, we're spending money on this, but not on healthcare, as we have said, every Democrat state, every single liberal state has the ability to have everything that they want. They simply have to pay for it and they won't. Yep. So it's a bunch of horse manure. The greed comes from Democrats who wish to or anyone

anyone who wishes all these benefits and wishes future generations to pay for it. That's greed. Yeah, corporations making legitimate profit. That's not greed. Everything is voluntary. Yeah, the greed in our society is the want for everything, mostly in liberal circles and having future generations pay for it. You can have it. California could have government healthcare and pay for everything tomorrow, but somebody's going to have to pay for it. You can't put that

on future generations. They don't want to do it. Why? Because liberals are greedy. Yep.

Barrow from the unborn. Yeah. Exactly. Wow. We found the loopholes. We've always said, there you

have it. Taxation without representation. We found the loopholes. Yep. Just put it to the federal government. Yep. And we'll put the burden on future generations. Exactly. We are right, I radio. Get in touch with Red Eye Radio, toll-free at 866. Might be Red Eye. We are Red Eye Radio. He's our crony and I'm hearing McNamara. We mentioned about the local in essence of begging rich people to come back from Florida to New York and talking

“about some have stepped up with their patriotic values. That's what I went yesterday.”

You're talking New York, not talking the United States. No, but still the whole concept that you should be proud and patriotic to pay your taxes. When you've gotten to that level, you've lost. But we, as mentioned in my buddies, were telling me, wow, they're talking about a 25% property tax rate in Buffalo. Look at this Chicago headline right here. Chicago hikes hotel tax to nearly 20% as tourism bosses, I future events. Well, that's going to affect you once in a while.

Not once a while. That's going to affect you eventually. Yeah. People start looking and say, where do we want to have our convention? Do we want it in Chicago? What? Chicago. Crime.

so how they're redoing the convention center here. I mean, people all the time on the plane

“coming back from Buffalo. They're, you know, and if I, especially if I go to Buffalo, go through”

Chicago, whatever, all the time, I mean, people that are going to conventions in Dallas, all the time.

That becomes competitive. Prices matter. Well, it's actually with companies matter, you know,

that if they're sending, if companies are sending employees that you're watching every time,

“all the time, not even, you know, when when the pocket book tightens up, it's every day.”

And if you're going to raise costs, then conventions have to decide because the convention, the people that put on these trade shows, these conventions, they need exhibitors. And if the costs are going up, they understand, their floor is going to be empty.

“At some point. So you've got to go somewhere where the first of all, you want the weather to be”

nice, most of the year. So there's one of the bets, one of the first bets they make. And then on top

of that, you also want affordability. You want local affordability. You want a system that's set up to make a convenient and affordable for people to attend and exhibit at your convention. And then if you're going to, if you're a family and you're thinking about, okay, tourism, just simple tourism. Well, you go 20% on top of it. Maybe we'll go somewhere else. It's that simple.
