What I want to do is not to be a student.
The master of the club has been taught to the internet. So master is really great.
“I'm saying, you can say that you're a hero.”
You're a master of the club, right? But you don't understand. egal! It's a challenge for you. Do you just do it with this story?
And if you then do it, you'll be able to do it. - That's right? - Safe! This story is... - You're going to give it a go. - Now it's a challenge. 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. We are Red Eye Radio, he is Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara.
- Thanks for being here. - Thank you. All right. Other topics just beneath the surface. - Yeah? - Just beneath the surface. A couple of headlines right here.
Electric bills are becoming a mid-term problem. Neither party can ignore.
More than a third of American voters in a poll do not trust the power grid.
Well, let me put it this way. Any Democrat in any blue or red state. This is what you wanted. - Yeah. - You wanted higher electricity prices. - Yeah. - This is what you voted for.
- Yep. - To the point that in such great numbers that even in red states and through many Republicans, Eric and I remember we have long memories. We remember New Gingrich.
“That's why we look at New Gingrich and go now.”
He'll play whatever side he believes is the popular side. Is there a conservative version to him? Yes. We saw that back in '94. Is there a part of him that changed? Has it went on? Yes.
When he said at that breakfast years ago and said, "Look, it doesn't matter whether you believe in the climate change. You've got to get a board because that's where the momentum is." Yeah. That's where it's going. And we cannot win this one.
And you and I were areas. And that goes back 2007, maybe 2008 was a pretty new. Because it was later on. The breakfast was way before he did the commercial with the climate change with Nancy on the bench.
Yeah. That might have been, yeah, 2006, 2006. To me, that was the ultimate portrayal of conservative principles for New Gingrich to do that. Oh, well, look, you're handing them the license to tax the daylights out of individuals and industry all day every day.
And we knew we would come to this point. We're now blue states for panicking. You saw a hoaxle here in the over the weekend. We've got to slow down the whole climate change thing. We have to slow down prices, prices, prices.
You're seeing it across the board with fur on taxes on energy. Right. But on energy, this is what Democrats wanted. How do we know? We have evidence.
We have the evidence. We remember. No, no, no. We've got the receipts. We have the receipts.
We have the receipts. We haven't got to hate that. We have the receipts.
I never have any receipts.
We would like to say, we have the evidence. But the evidence is here. It's what Democrats voted for. In fact, it's what the most popular Democrat who was worship as a deity specifically said he wanted before the 2008 election.
Yep. He didn't say that that under his plan, electricity prices, microwaps slowly. No, his plan was for electricity prices to skyrocket. Exactly where they are.
And you're saying you guys are making this up.
“No, remember that when we talked about that the one time”
and the guy said, you're making it up and then we played the audience. We've been talking about it ever since he set it. Yes. And then the guy said, no, no, no, no. And we had to go back and play the audio.
So let's do it again. Here we go.
Back to February of 2008 when he was running for president the first time.
President Obama about what his goal was. Under my plan of a cap and trade system. Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
There you go.
Yep.
It's what that is not AI.
That was not. That was before AI. Yep. Talking to the San Francisco Chronicle. Yep.
So when I read here electric bills are becoming a midterm problem. Neither party can ignore. This is where again. And we've said this many times.
“If you want to know, if you want to look at all the things in our society.”
When politicians start saying that corporations are the reason when the left. And I don't care where the left is a Republican leftists or a Democrat leftists. When they start telling you that corporations are the problems with prices. You know what you can do. You can look right back at the politician and say, no, you are.
Yeah. Electricity prices are where they are today. And we've seen on inflation numbers. That problem that's there. We will give Trump credit.
He's doing everything he can in his power to change that. But you had Republicans that embraced. You had Texas that embraced climate change and the subsidies for wind power. Oh, yeah. Which is what brought free Zola federal money coming right and right.
And Texas went free money. We'll take it. We'll put up. You're guaranteeing us a profit on something that is not sustainable. We'll do it.
Hmm. But that's a leftist mindset as we said. We have no problem. But Republicans did it. If Republicans are liberals.
And Republicans sell you a line of crap. We'll tell you that. Right. And there were Republicans out there including Newt Gingrich. That sold you a line of crap on climate change way back then.
We seem to have forgotten it when he's on Fox. Nobody ever brings that up. Yeah. Yeah. But you're kicking the door open.
Yeah. Yeah. As a party leader. And that helped to kick that helped. That really did.
No, that was. And where did we, you know, 2008? And the vice presidential debate. Yeah. Yeah.
And, you know, it's. I, I, I look at that era as in, and this is why it's so important to point out. Newt Gingrich's involvement here. Because Sarah Payland had been against cap and trade. Steadfast.
I remember. Until. And it was right before a commercial break. I know. Do you support cap and trade?
And she said yes. Let's go to a commercial break. No. You don't go to a commercial break.
I have four million questions at least.
Yeah. That was. I mean, it's, it's interesting to show that you remember. I remember the one, you know, I remember the show where in 2008. That we asked just for Democrats to call.
Yeah. And it's where you understood identity politics. Right. Which had just Democrats. Do you want Obama or do you want Clinton?
And it took about two hours just going to caller after caller. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. No.
We need the first woman. No. We need the first black. No. We need the first woman.
Well, it was like two hours into the show where someone said, well, no. I want Obama because he'll stop all the wars. Well. Yeah. Yeah.
I think it's. It all of the Hollywood endorsements. Ope. Ron Howard. Yeah.
Went on for.
“I think it was a nine minute long video.”
And didn't talk about the qualifications at all of the man. Nope.
Said it was about electing the first black president.
Wasn't funds on with him? Wasn't Henry Wink? Yeah, they did. I think that was, I don't know. That was a separate.
That was kind of a separate. A separate campaign where they kind of, but yeah, the funds. But I remember. I remember Andy Griffith. I know he did one.
Yeah. I remember that. I remember when Tom Delay came out and said Republicans need to shut up because we put the budget as far as possible. That's what we were first that men.
I didn't even know you well back then. I'm like, oh, okay. I remember then at the end of 2008. The whole bridge loan and everything else went. When Republicans blew the.
Tarp one went went when when when Bush said when Bush said well. What was this exact word? So he's it. Well, I don't know the exact. Well, I can tell you the Obama quote, almost verbatim of what he said in the audio.
We didn't play of the cut. You just played there. But on the on the Bush quote, it was principles.
“I sometimes I had sometimes you have to set your principles.”
Your side. Your economic principles aside and we went. No, you don't. That's when you would hear to them the most right.
That was that just infuriated.
Us at at that particular point tired of part of the noise.
America's more divided than ever. But independent Americans is adding the light to contrast all that. Independent Americans daily news with Army veteran. All right. Pressing issues the day, the leaders who are shaping what America will be in the future.
We're going to bring the righteous media five lives. Independence integrity, information, inspiration and impact. Join the movement. Independent Americans from believe. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
It's really interesting that the the things that sit in my mind where I have a picture of a sitting and there are different studios.
Yeah, where it says, you know, and this is way back when we, you know, began and the thing is that's when we started seeing a little shift in the Republican party.
Not supporting conservative principles. The point is.
“California has high gasoline prices because that's what the politicians and the people.”
The debt the majority of the voters in California want. Yeah, they're screaming about it, but it's what you wanted people are screaming now about electricity prices. No Democrat if you're a Republican in a conservative and you were against it. Scream like crazy that I told we told you so. But if you're a Democrat and screaming about this electricity prices in New York or anywhere else where they're high.
You voted for this. No, it's exactly what you want. And these are choices and the whole point is you see it and you see even now from Republicans, you'll see it from Josh Holley, blaming the corporations or the prices and never know. Yeah.
You look at the vast majority vast majority of price increases that are out of whack.
It's because government got involved in it. Yep. And when politicians start blaming someone that's the projection portion of it where you're going. Oh, they know it's them that are doing right. But that's why we play the Obama thing.
When I see electricity bills now, people can't afford to pay their electricity bills in New York. They don't know what to do in California gas prices. It's what you voted for. And they walk around as if this thing just sort of organically just happened. No, it's what you wanted.
Yep. These are all choices. We're here when it comes to energy, we're here because we chose to be here because people made choices politically. I didn't make those choices. But enough did to get us here.
And that's the truth. That's the entire story right there. A series of bad decisions.
“That's why we're here is what leads us to this because if you think about it.”
Look at what we have available to us. What happened in 2008 when oil was at $147 a barrel. And Bush 43 signs the executive order on shale oil for institute conversion. Prices dropped dramatically. Now, part of that was this was in the summer.
Part of that was some economic news, but not enough economic news to move at that fast. Because we were going to open up. It became apparent. What we have available in our reserves in our in the ground. Here in the states.
Made us dwarf other nations. But of course, Obamacaine in and change that with an executive order in March of 2009 and outlawed shale or the institute conversion process. And now you've got the, again, all of these things in California.
“When you have major companies leaving these blue states.”
When Chevron left California. That was one of the biggest statements. Made about the poor choices of blue states, especially when it comes to energy. We have it.
All the states could be producing like crazy. Like crazy without all of this regulation. But they insist on killing industry because the end game is this. And they've set it out loud in the past. They have not tried to hide this at all.
They want to nationalize energy. They want to nationalize health care. You get the biggest chunks of the economy and control the means of production and the capital. And of course, that's where you get to full on communism. That's what they're trying to do.
You break the back of the private sector. Like they tried to do with Obamacaine.
They would love to they want to punish big energy.
That's what they want to do.
“And then make you believe that the sun and wind can provide it all.”
Nope. Nope. And we're here. And we have it. And eventually you're going to end up like hoaxle if you're on the left.
Newsom's not because Newsom's not going to be a governor when it finally hits the threshold there.
At least hoaxle's saying it out loud. She doesn't look good in their party in those moments when she's saying, hey, to our New York patriotic millionaires. Whatever that is. Go down and get your friends from Florida tell them to come home.
We need their revenue. We lost revenue. We drove them out of the state. And now saying, you know, that that climate change policy is really not a good idea. It's really hurting us.
Of course it is. You're punishing the people. Because these are hidden taxes. And when Obama became president after making those comments that you heard a few minutes ago,
he basically said, oh, well, I don't need Congress.
I don't know if he ever said this verbatim. But he made a statement at some point. I don't need capital Hill to get my agenda done. I can act through the EPA, which of course he did. I can get my climate change cap and trade policy done administratively.
I don't need Congress. You know, we mentioned it with a pen. We mentioned the death of Paul Erlock a week and a half ago. Yeah. Who I view as the the father of the radical environmental leftist movement in this country.
Right. None of his predictions came true. Right.
But it was the basis of what created the lies.
And the doomsday scenario lies over and over and over again. To skyrocket energy prices across the nation. Now, the public is screaming about it, including Democrats. It's what they asked for. You could not have a perfect example of what my father said.
People want to be bullcraft. Right. They do. They want to be BS. Yep.
They want to be BSed over and over and over again. Yep. They want to be lied to if it sounds good.
“And then when it all goes to hell, they're like, what's going on?”
Government sucks. No, you suck because you wanted it. Exactly. You voted for it. Right.
Politicians just don't automatically appear somewhere and start. We'll accept right now with the radical transgender movement and voter ID. Exactly. They figured they can still convince you on it because they believe you're a bunch of idiots. Right.
They haven't even find their birth certificate and you can't even. We are right. Radio. Brought to you by FPPF, fuel power max. The IFTA tax program redistributes tax revenue to states based on your actual miles run.
Thus, the truly cheapest fuel can only be found if you subtract federal and state taxes and state search charges from the pump price to compare. The strategy means that you buy without regard for whether you are paying more at the pump and taxes. IFTA also considers state search charges, which complicates the fuel buying strategy. Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia have per gallon search charges.
Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, and Oregon have per mile search charges. While some owner operators buy only enough fuel to get through search charge states, this practice can backfire.
“Depending on the actual cost of the fuel in each state, when comparing fuel prices always remember.”
Pump pride minus taxes equals the real fuel cost. On our operator business 101 is provided by Overdrive's Partners in Business program.

Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carley is Red Eye Radio.
We are Red Eye Radio. He is a Crony and I'm Gary McNamara. You know, that's the thing. That's the one thing about getting old. Yeah, and another thing. Another thing about getting old. You've seen so much, and for us, it gets to be so frustrating as we look back.
You know, add electricity prices where I'm reading these headlines.
Americans, it was so in electricity bills as price hikes outpace inflation nationwide.
“Electric bills becoming a midterm problem neither party can ignore.”
It's what the left in this country, it was their goal to skyrocket electricity prices. That's why I played the Obama cut. And it's frustrating to see decades later people going, "Oh, good, good, exactly." You asked for it. Yep.
We are running radio. He's our Crony and I'm Gary McNamara. I can't play this because there's too much cursing it. You saw James Carval went nuts on Bill Marr telling him to get your head out of Barry Weiss' posterior. Yeah. He did not use the word posterior. Yeah. Well, okay.
Democrats, strategist, James Carval, I watched it, but I'm reading the Fox News story on it. Yeah. Criticized President Donald Trump and comedian Bill Marr during the recent episode of his politics war room podcast.
“Do me a favor Bill and try to get your head out of Barry Weiss' blank.”
He said Carval's remarks came after Bill Marr criticized him as acting like a crazy old man with Trump derangements syndrome. Arguing that Carval represents a small segment of the political media disconnected from everyday Americans. Carval pushed back on that characterization summarizing Bill Marr's critique before responding.
The argument is basically myself and people like me are crazy.
We're just blind, rage, crazy. We just can't stand Trump. He filed it up by embracing the labels calling himself and those like-minded crazy. I'm going to agree with you. I'm crazy and a lot of people like me were crazy. Carval said he described his reaction to the current political climate. Claiming he and like-minded people wake up early in a rage over the state of the country.
We wake up at two o'clock in the morning throwing the s-word against the wall.
“I can't believe this M.F.R. is the president of the United States.”
Maybe our craziness is evidence of our sanity. Okay. He closed by reiterating his message to critics saying they can mock us. They can make fun of us, but his position remains unchanged. We're not going to change. We're not going to back off not one Iota.
Well, it's what we've told you. No, yeah, no. We've been saying to our audience for a while. They're not changing this. Yeah. And in a lot of cases, there's still winning elections.
And they might win in November. Yeah? Possibility. Yeah. So there's a significant portion of the country that embraces insane ideas.
Yep. Now, by the way. Carval has come down an identity politics. He believes the identity politics is a crazy position for the Democrats to have. He said it.
Well, as he used it effectively. But he is a right male for many years. You know, the radical transgender movement. Yes. So it looks at that and says it's not what are we doing. Right.
So the one thing that he doesn't do here is debate the issues. He doesn't say he said we're not going to change. We're not going to back off.
But he never says we will debate the issues with you.
Right. Because they can't. Right. They cannot come up with a coherent message to debate. They do have maybe a plurality of Americans that agree with the craziness or just ignorant and
aren't paying attention. We know that when the democratic party decides that stupidity that their own stupidity. And lack of ability to do basic common tasks that they're now using because we've now got Schumer. We've got Joe Scarborough.
Got Mike Barnacle.
That also was on Joe Scarborough show.
You've got Bernie Sanders. And you've got Gavin Newsom all saying they don't know how to find their birth certificates.
“As an argument that you should not have to prove that you're a US citizen to vote.”
Yeah. And that's because identity politics of saying minorities don't know how to do it. They got pushed back. So the only way that they could believe they could win the argument was by saying we're all stupid. We're the stupid party.
Yeah. They think they're so smart. Yep. They're not even using the Frado argument. I'm smart.
Not like everybody says. Right. But they're not using the Frado argument. They're using an opposite of a Frado argument. Yes.
We are stupid. And you think you're so smart. Well, I'm stupid. Well, I'm stupid and I'm a victim because I'm stupid. Yes.
I mean, it's, well, you know, they do the party is represented by a donkey. They just need to put dumb in front of it. And it's interesting that Carval says get, you know, your head out of Barry Weiss's Austria. Yeah.
Barry Weiss is a liberal Democrat. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Barry Weiss is a liberal Democrat who believes in journalism.
Yep. You can't have that. Isn't it interesting where you, if you're a, Those are fighting words for the left. Right.
You're an enemy of the Democrat party. If you're a Democrat that believes that journalism has been biased. Right. Right. Well, if you're fighting for true journalism.
You're a deplorable. You're a mega deplorable. Yeah. That's, that's where they are. And because again, the facade is over.
Buys. I mean, it's so far past bias. It's, it's activism. It's activism. I remember saying that I was interviewing Sean Spicer on our flagship WBAP one morning.
And I said the activists that are in that newsroom and that media room at the White House, those sort of liberal activists, not journalists.
And he said, I've never heard it phrase that way.
That was during Trump's first term. And of course, now everybody's using that phrase that you and I have been saying for years.
“Because that's the only way to describe them.”
And the facade is, is over. And you know, the facade, if you think about it. This, the, in the era of Barry Weiss and, and others Matt Taibi. And, and others who are doing real journalism. It's just a handful of them, unfortunately.
But where did that begin? The expiles. For the expiles. The, the Twitter files. They would call up the expiles today.
The Twitter files. And the Twitter files. And that began with Elon Musk buying Twitter. Yeah. And bringing these are liberal otherwise liberal journalists.
They, they, they are not, you know, they, they were not. And, but they were there when they opened up the, the Twitter files. And, and looked at it and said, oh, my gosh, we had no idea. But Barry Weiss eventually wrote something. And I forget if this was directly related to the Twitter files.
But she said, I was wrong about Trump. And I forget what it, what it was on. But that was, was that it was the free press around yet. I'm not sure. But she eventually wrote that and said it.
“But you can't have, and, and I've said forever because I believe this.”
Truly. That true journalism plays an important role in a free society. True journalism. But it hasn't been true journalism. Then quite some time.
There, in fact, there's always been some level of bias.
Remember, it was it Walter Cronkite said, Yeah, we thought we were doing the right thing. Right. You know, we just thought we were going in the right direction. They were biased in a more subtle way though.
Right exactly. And, but, but they still had to report. They still, and because people were demanding that the information get out there. And you look at it now.
The great thing is Elon Musk said it, we've said it.
We didn't say it directly like he did.
He said, you are the media. And the way we said it is, you have the ability to find the truth. You don't need Glenn Kessler over the Washington Post to be the fact checker. You know, you don't have to sit around for somebody to hand it to you. You have the ability with that little thing in your hand, the phone, the smartphone.
To find the truth. Not that every website's going to be accurate. You can get to the truth because we believe we don't believe you're stupid. Isn't it interesting? We believe you're capable of finding the truth.
If you have the will.
“Is it interesting how fact checking is really dead?”
It's over. It's over.
Because this, I always believed in we said this before that the whole fact checking came from
the mainstream media in order to extend their political activism. Yeah. Yeah. They simply would say, well, we're fact checking stuff now. And then it's like, okay, then the fact checkers had to be fact checked.
And then the fact checkers fact checking the fact checkers had to be checked. And then the fact. Look, I wish that we could get back that there was, you know, true journalism out there. But I'm okay. I'm okay with where we are right now in the competitive marketplace.
Even though there are major portions of the media and social media that I disagree with.
“The only thing that I care about is, can I personally find what the truth is?”
Can I do a little bit of research and find out the majority of the facts that I need to know to make an informed decision? Right. And the answer would be yes. What we have, we have a significant portion of Americans that don't wish to find the truth. They wish to be willfully ignorant.
Right. Yep. You know, I've seen this, you know, there's been a, we've talked about even on the right. You go to Facebook and somebody will post a meme with somebody on the left. I'm starting to see it appear from the right now. You know, that they said something and you'll see hundreds of hundreds of people say that's horrible.
They said that. And you fact check it. You can't find that person on the left who said that. I don't want that from the right. No, the right doesn't have to exaggerate. The right doesn't have to lie. Stop it. Yep.
But, but I find the fact of there's a number of people on the right or claim around the right or bots on the right or populists that believe they're part of the conservative right that really aren't that don't want any part of fact checking either when the accusations against the other side. You and I have said there's enough by the Democrats to defeat them completely. Whenever you lie on the right or exaggerate on the right, it's a talking point that the left can use against you.
And you don't need to give them any talking points because they're wrong. Who was the latest of Blumenthal? Was the Blumenthal? The Blumenthal, yeah. And it was, quote, that somebody that one person from all the research we did posted on their Facebook account. And it was a meme, not video, right, a boom with all saying it, that he said that, you know, he can't find it.
We couldn't find it. We couldn't find it. We fact checked it because we don't need to promote anything that isn't the truth on the left. And that makes you don't like a small thing, but it's really not. No, it's not for us. You've got to get it right. If you're going to talk about it, get it right. We know Bernie said it. We played the audio from MSNow and that group saying it. We know Newsom said it. We played the audio.
“And that's why it's important for us to play the audio to our audience.”
We don't want to just sit here and say, they said that, we can, we don't always have audio available.
But if it's available, it's important for us to do it. Even audio from 2008, February 2008, before Obama talking about cap and trade. That's important. So I'm just going to say, love hearing Obama in 2008 about energy. Love the fact that the truth is out. Obama screwed the worker. But when Michigan, by the way, it was a Michigan-based case.
And in the Supreme Court, the Obama administration lost on climate change. What it costs for this industry to change everything in climate change. And the Supreme Court cited with them. And then they asked the Obama administration at the time. Do you feel defeated? And they said, no, because the industry has already said they don't have the money to go back to the old way. They had to comply with our rules at that time. So we want.
But when you see stuff like this here, Kathy Hockel, oops, the climate law was a mistake. Yeah, the pressure is so great now because both consumers are really ticked off and businesses that can move began doing so. So Hockel wants to delay the climate goals. She and the Democrats were so excited about just a few years ago.
Because that's what the Democrats in New York, the voter wanted.
They wanted high prices. They get high prices. They're like, we don't want high prices.
All right. How do you deal with such idiocy? We predicted all of this. We're not rocket scientists.
“What do you think these people are about that you're voting for?”
Yeah. What do you think you're putting, who do you think you're putting into office?
We are Red Eye Radio. We'll be right back with more Red Eye Radio with every currently and Gary McNamara.
We are Red Eye Radio. He's our currently and I'm Gary McNamara. Now this is a way to end the hour. I just saw this said 20, 28 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary latest poll. Okay. All right. You ready? Okay. Here we go. Who's leading the bunch in New Hampshire now? All right. That was it. Pete Buttigieg's 24.5%. Wow.
Newsom's in second place with 15%.
“Well, the Casio Cortez 12.5% Harris 8%. Rinscare 5% Shapiro 4% and all the others 5.5%.”
Wow. That's leading. Put a judge. Yeah. He does well in states like New Hampshire and Iowa. Yeah. Yeah. You know, because he doesn't wear a suit jacket. He just rolls his sleeves off like he's going to go to work or something. He looks, you know, less radical. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood 1.
The Dan Bontino show.
“Damn I missed you all. I've got so much content bottled of my head.”
I got a lot of stuff. This is the kind of stuff. It's real. May not give this anywhere else. Hard truths. There's a lot of stuff to talk about that. You think he's going to open a lot of eyes and a lot of ignorators are going to get shut down. And a bold perspective no one else can offer. They are freaking out.
It's the comeback. Everyone's been waiting for. Lovers, haters, friends, supporters to track is your all welcome. I want to hear it all. The Dan Bontino show. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Some of you there.
