03-25-26 Part One - Voter ID, DHS & Ending the War

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, he is Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning.

Thanks for being here. Thank you. Well. As we started the show yesterday, we found out that the hosts and guests on MSNBC and Morning Joe, none of them knew where their birth certificates were.

And didn't know how to find it. Correct. And that would have been Joe Scarborough, would have been Mike Barnacle, and then Chuck Schumer. Yes, say we'll know how to find it. They added me to this yesterday morning.

Here we go, all right. All right. Here we go. Not only does me cannot know where her original birth certificates is, which under the same act would get her kicked off the voters' roles.

That's false. That's why. Yeah. Just not knowing. Right.

If you're registered to vote right now, if you're registered to vote, and you've got your ID. Oh, yeah. If you're already registered. Right.

And then you have an ID. You don't have to. They're making it sound like what that. Here's the thing. I thought of this yesterday.

“Are they also wanting the people that they believe are stupid again?”

We don't believe that. They believe that. Yes. So they're trying to relate to you by also being stupid. But do they want them to believe that you're going to have to get your birth certificate

and your and and and a passport. I'm waiting for this. And reapply. You're going to need to. Right.

You're going to need a passport and your birth certificate. It'll be worse than going to the DMV. You don't have to wait for hours and hours. They'll take your thumb prints. Just to go through it again, this all started a couple of weeks ago in Schumer.

And that excuse me, when Bernie Sanders came out and gave a new some both saying they had no idea how to find their birth certificates. There's no idea where it is. And then it's just started building and building and building and building. And then there was the we not didn't find any evidence.

But there was a story that Senator Blumenthal said the same thing. We couldn't find evidence on that. But then this week, you had Joe Scarborough. You have Mika. You have Chuck Schumer.

You have Mike Barnacle. All members of the morning show at MS now. I say MSNBC MS now. And none of them have any idea how to find their birth certificates. And so as we have said, we've laid this out.

We'll lay it out in a minute again. Just so you know, because this is something we have to pound over and over again. To let you know that's been it seems to have been a change in the Democrats narrative.

And it's always been the Democrat not well for the last 30, 40 years.

It's been the victim of presser relationship is what they've talked about. They were on victims. We're the party of victims. And there are the oppressors over there. They have right kept cutting more of the pie for more victims.

And so there are always more oppressors out there. Now, here with they were saying, remember, it was that voter ideas racist. Yeah. That didn't work. But that didn't work.

And they tried to use that here in the last month or so. And that failed miserably. You had conservative blacks and other minorities come out. And state, that's racist. You're making it sound like we're incompetent.

And so they were being challenged on it. Now, the whole thing about being sexist. They're still bringing up women as he brought up. Mecha, for example, because it's all right for Democrats to be misogynist. And sexist against women because of the radical transgender movement.

So women, they've basically discarded.

Even though it's liberal women that love being discarded apparently. Because you can't explain their support for the party that has said, You know, no men should be able to play in these same women are going, What's wrong with you? Women and athletes?

Why are you afraid?

“You must not be that good if you don't want to compete against a man.”

That's modern day feminism today. But back to my point. It didn't work to racism. And so they're like, how are you going to sell this? We're basically saying that minorities and women are idiots.

And they can't do basic tasks that other people can do. We can't continue to do this. What are we going to do here? The women and the Americans do. All right, let's we'll all be idiots.

And we'll be the party of idiots. And the media of the liberal idiots. You know, we'll all be idiots.

Idiots, the Democrat politicians.

Yeah.

“The Democrat media were all a bunch of idiots.”

And that's our victimization. We're stupid. We don't know how to do basic tasks. And the oppressor will be those Republicans who believe that they can do all these things that are just impossible to do.

That's where they are right now. It's insane. It really is insane. And it is this rebirth of the wealth. Not that it ever went away.

You and I talked about it though on and off the air.

We've been talking about it recently where.

Okay, they're they're playing stupid. But they're also playing victim. Yes. You know, they're and and and that's part of it. But I just get who there's stupidity.

Yeah. Is why they're victims. Right. Right.

“And there was something else that that one of them said recently.”

And and and you and I had said, you know. Why is it that they they'll come out. And you know, there's there's one thing if you're like in a therapy session.

And you're talking about something that happened to you.

But they come out and and they. They use it for leverage. And and I have an issue with that. It's they they're trying to, you know, with now if you're an office. I have many issues with that.

But we see liberal celebrities doing it all the time. Oh, I'm a victim too. I'm a victim too. Well, the Obama state. Oh, we were still paying our college loans when we got into the White House.

Did you see the axial article that the and they went through the number of democrat candidates for president. That are now talking about their traumatic childhood. Yes. And how they were. Yes.

And then somebody brought up. Well, JD van stood it. JD van's was not a politician. Well, he was a movie came out. He wasn't.

You know, and he does he sells issues. If you hear him. He sells issues. He tells he told his life story.

“And the thing I think the reason that when he got into politics when he decided to run.”

Look, you know, with with with the book in the movie. Everybody, everybody knew the story. So you're kind of have to bring it up. You know, and and he brought that that up. But he's not his point is.

I overcame all of that. Right. This is where I am. How great is this country that we can all overcome this. And then at the convention, remember the convention with his with his mom being there and everything else.

And what she had been through and and all of that. And he's just telling the in that case you're telling a story when you're creating this victimhood. And this is that's the whole point. Is you're trying to you're trying to. Again, that play into what the left has been doing.

Build more and more victims for more and more reasons every single day because identity politics. It's I'm wondering if they've reached their limit right created new victim for different reason right. So okay, they run out of things reasons to be a victim. And we have been saying this for years. We were on identity politics when when when no one knew what identity politics was.

Because we were saying everyday they want you to wake up and be a victim for a new reason. You're a new victim of your victim now of something else, which means now that you are in your own subgroup. Everybody else, including the people that you were aligned with yesterday by default is an oppressor. And we said politically that can't work, but they still clearly believe that it can because they've gone back to this. And now are trying to portray themselves as and by the way, I don't know what has happened in any of their individual lives.

I don't wish that on anybody. I have as a foster to adopt parent and and lots of special needs training. I have lots of experience and stories that I have heard and learned about where there are these where there are true victims and there's I don't and if these individuals are truly victims. That's not the point. I pray for them and hope that they don't live with that grief every single day.

And it doesn't affect them, but at the same at the same time what they're doing is they're turning it around and trying to use it as political leverage and that's where I have to draw the line. Well, we're even axios thought it was odd because all of the and they named all the democrat candidates are all talking about it's like there seems to be this effort to show that they were all traumatized in their childhood.

They believe that the people that vote for them are all victims, but now it's taken to the point where.

“Justifies your victimhood is not necessarily a direct line from an oppressor, but your own stupidity yeah and your own lack of being able to navigate through this like I said it's it's a Phil Hartman.”

It's it's the caveman party we didn't know how to operate in this in this complicated society we just it's Kate it's they're the caveman democratic party now. And if you've never seen it, go put what is it, uh, caveman lawyer caveman lawyer is is how they titled yeah I forget his name, but it's someone sent it to us the other day and I still am blanking out on but basically SNL caveman lawyer just type it and you'll see the skits yeah it's and it's Phil Hartman pretending you know he he does all these he's a caveman and he uses the fact that he's a caveman.

And it's too when cases because everything is just too complicated for him this world is just you know it and that's what the Democrats are doing I really think they wonder if they sat in a room and went let's watch Phil Hartman let's watch this bit okay we're victims of our own stupidity now the only thing is. And they can say these Republicans who think they're so smart who can navigate that's a tough argument to make they haven't made that precisely yet we see we'll see if they do but they've eventually got to find an oppressor or as the oppressor just life itself is the oppressor is is just existing is the oppressor just the existence of life is hard.

And therefore we can't navigate through it and the people that claim that they can well those people are elite and arrogant people because it's impossible to get through this society on our own.

But think about the amount of time they've spent on the the voter ID now over the last month saying that. They themselves now they're lying about it they know how to find their birth certificates they're lying we all know they're lying. But but but they're doing it's this is their marketing strategy. I'm I'm I'm Joe Scarborough I'm Mika I'm Mike Barnacle I'm Chuck Schumer I'm Bernie Sanders I'm Gavin Newson.

“Life is too complicated for us we can't even navigate look at our positions and we don't even know how to find our birth certificates we're idiots who cannot navigate through the simple tasks of society just like we believe you are.”

Now they're own constituents aren't making that argument that they're victims that's the interesting point yeah exactly they're not making the democrats wasn't over 70% landslide numbers want voter ID and want you to be a citizen to be able to vote.

So this is where they're making themselves they're projecting out and we've always said democrats believe that the people that vote for them are idiots.

So it's it's it's it really is this new campaign to sell it and they're you can tell this is this is a memo thing. You're having lots of communications on this is the whole can't find my birth certificate garbage is it's so laughable but if you if you step back and look at the long game of the radical left it's right out of the playbook it's right out of the playbook. So if you can't find or they're adding it to the playbook well they're reintroducing it but but it's but it's part of the entire playbook yeah I mean specifically on that.

“But it's that that that's how it's he is right out of the playbook and I'll just say this if you're a rank and file democrat and you can't find your birth certificate it's probably because Hillary Clinton shredded it at one point.”

I like what you said though that it's that it's the logical conclusion because once you run out of of victims and a direct line to an oppressor because they tried everything.

Right well that's ridiculous billionaires have no impact of whether you make it or not right none zero right.

But he threw that on and was like okay we're victims here but that didn't really work. And well maybe it did work a little bit because they still want to do you know the whole billionaire tax they still want to do it now they're finding out that in jellies always been right they're finding the consequences of that I mean you're right that's that's part of what we've said. Racism isn't the biggest problem except in the democratic party who practices identity politics which is judging people by groups and not individuals which they admit they do.

And as we said that's that's the racism which has been institutionalized in our country by the the democratic party but. The victim oppressor you're like where do we go all right we're victims of life yeah we don't have the ability.

“To deal with life well that's what makes us a victim and in the era of radical protesters you've seen how many lawmakers be at these radical protests.”

If you've seen.

Someone like a don lemon he didn't just show up outside that church. He had to go inside he was part of the protest. I'm sorry he was reporting.

This is this is they want to be part of the people whatever the people are doing well we created the victims what do we do next. Let's let's create new victims in ourselves so we can be part of the crowd when you saw my barnacle yesterday we'll play it again because it was almost like excited like. Yes, you're not if on your birthday. No, no like like this is something that they're passionate about the this we have found the new angle we're all a bunch of idiots. Let's be excited about promoting what big idiots we are exactly.

Wow we are right I radio brought to you by hot shot secret.

“Hi I'm Jen Lumis a transport safety expert at JJ Keller once a roadside inspection is completed the officer will close it out.”

If violations were discovered most officers as a courtesy will explain the violations to the driver.

If there were any out of service violations the officer will normally explain what must be done to get the out of service order lifted. Drivers need to be very attentive during this part of the inspection. The driver also needs to read and understand the complete inspection report. The driver has 24 hours to get the roadside inspection report to the motor carrier if the driver will not be returning to a company facility within the next 24 hours. The driver needs to know to get it on the way to you via email mail or facts within 24 hours.

This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates visit us at JJ Keller dot com. We'll be right back with more red eye radio with every currently and Gary McNamara. I can imagine Republicans waking up going, "How do we fight this?" How do we fight the Democratic Party in the new narrative? We're all a bunch of idiots, we're all victims because we can handle this complicated society.

Vote for us because we're just like you. You're an idiot, we're an idiot.

“This is how do we fight this? Well, because here's the thing.”

We've said for the longest time, you know, for a while, the party would lead in the radical behavior and now clearly the radicals lead the party and in some cases are part of the party, you know, they're in office. So what do you do? You've got to be as radical as you've got to connect to them. The way that Trump connects to some of his voters and the only thing you can do is while we've created victims, we have to be victims too. We have to be stupid too because they think everybody's a victim and it's stupid.

But what I want to do is not to be a part of the whole studio. The semester-by-day laptop is being sold out, the internet is so much that I'm trying to... I'm saying, you can say that you're a victim. You're a part of a story, right? But you don't understand. That's not true. It's just a story. You're just a part of a story. You're just a part of a story. And if you then work, you're a part of a story. That's right.

Save. How do you say that? I'm just a part of a story.

America's more divided than ever. But independent Americans is adding light to contrast all that she...

“Independent Americans daily news with Army Veteran Paul Rikaw.”

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 on your favorite platform. [Music]

That's Red Eye Radio Live. Every night on the Red Eye Radio app available in the App Store, Red Band. All right, Radio. And I'm Gary Macaron along with Eric Carley coming up here. Well, they've be able to come to a deal.

When Republicans be able to come to a deal to fund Department of Homeland Security.

And what Iran wants and what the United States wants, that all coming up. When it comes to supplements, there are two things that matter most. It works and you can trust it.

“Many hosts on the radio have been taking and authentically endorsing relief factor for over a decade.”

That's over 10 years of lending their voice to help get you out of pain naturally. Why? Because it works. I'm telling you right now, it works plain and simple. Before taking relief factor, I suffer with aches and pains from wear and tear sometimes.

It would take me out of the game of life. I had to go lay down. Not anymore. Relief factor offers a quick start option, by the way. Even though they lose money on the quick start.

Just so you can try it for yourself and see how life changing it can be. After returning home from Vietnam, wounded, the creator of relief factor became a doctor to help others heal. He developed relief factor to help his own patients with pain without drugs. Even eventually shared it with everyone. Try relief factor three week quick start.

Just 1995 visit relieffactor.com or call 800. The number four relief relief factor dot com or call 800 for relief. Use red eye at the drop down for you three week quick start at 1995. All right. So, reading here from from Politico, even Fox News had a brutal headline. I was amazed at Republicans.

Let me just I'm just going through my stuff here very quickly. Of course, when I want to find something. Here it is. GOP-I's DHS deal funding ice probes, but not removals. A shutdown.

Drags. This is cobbled together. Talking to senior Republican sources. Center Republicans are developing a plan to focus on most aspects of DHS. Leaving on controversial programs like certain ice.

We have a lot more opportunities to end the five and a half week. Parks will government shut down. This emerged after meeting with the White House last night. There's a lot to sort out. However, Fox is told that the Senate could start to move forward on the plan to end the

DHS as shut down as early as tonight. The new plan would fund ice investigations like cartels, and child predators, but they will leave unfunded programs for enforcement and removal. Wow. And they talk about the fact, well, maybe reconciliation down the line.

Which means are they sane again? Nobody's using the word claw back. Because that's key.

“Are you saying that the funds that the big beautiful bill gave to ice would be rescinded?”

And you're saying ice could not remove in force and remove anyone. Because that's less fun from the big beautiful bills. 75, 78 billion right. And there were two lawmakers Democrats, of course. Last week that introduced a bill basically to say,

we want to take that money and use it for food stamps. And which is going to go nowhere. But if they're looking at clawing back that 75, 78 billion dollars, and that's slush fund? Ironically, this idea would mirror what Democrats have tried to do on multiple occasions.

Wow.

And part of the problem is, it's like, we have it.

Just get 51 votes. And reconciliation and refund it again. Could they?

“Are there senators scared to death in the Republican Party to say,”

we funded ice right now? I get this question more than anything. One of the Republicans chances in November for losing the house. And maybe the Senate. I don't have a crystal ball.

I don't predict these things we never have.

But the Republicans are in trouble. You know, you had that one, you know, one district, Marlano district, the state legislature race that overwhelmingly is Republican that went to the Democrat last night. But Democrats are cheering over that.

Yeah. If I'll say this, if the Republicans lose, it's their own fault. All day. I've been saying since 24, the 24 election, there should have been a much greater margin, especially in the House and maybe another seat or so in the Senate.

The Senate really wasn't going to happen any much. The margin wasn't going to happen any better than it did in a real way. Maybe maybe I'd have to go back one or two seats. But in the House, there should have been a much bigger margin. What the, what the Republicans did wrong.

And the administration has done wrong. Is believing that once you get into power, all you do is attempt to satisfy your base. And especially for Trump and the Republicans were Trump moved over independence and Democrats to vote for you.

The entire goal must always be.

Keep your base. But also keep those independence and/or Democrats devoted for you. Which means explaining everything that you do and fulfilling the promises that you told them. Yeah. Excuses don't work.

Yeah, but this and but this and but this and but this and but this. You said it many times Trump won Wall Street Journal went to Harlem.

“The day after Trump won in 2016 and said, why do you think Trump won?”

Well, because he talks about things that will help Americans. He'll always talking about everything else. Right. That's the exact same complaint right now against Republicans and Trump. Yep.

From independence. Yeah. You're going to keep you saw the, you know, the support still for Trump. You know, for the, you know, for a, for a ran. He sold it right the first day and then they decided to say, let's not market this thing.

Any more every day and be specific. So the American public knows what our goals are. Right. And I understand that. It's fluid.

But again, you're not attempting to convince me. You're attempting to convince independence and those Democrats devoted for you that I'm doing the right thing.

The problem is the two reasons Republicans and Trump won.

Immigration illegal immigration and prices. That's it. That's why he won. Yep. Because Americans cared about those two things on immigration.

The public is very fickle and I think home and knew it. Home and wasn't for the massive roundups of deportation that caused all the violence in the streets.

“Knowing that you have to do these things because the public's very fickle.”

And the public said, yeah, the majority of the, the people we want illegal immigrants out. We don't want to see how it's made. Right. We don't want to see how the sausage is made. But with the violence on the street.

Doesn't matter whether the people that were doing the violence on the street, whether it was unjustified or not. And the reason that doesn't matter now is home and is making the case by having no riots on the street. That it still can be done. You may not be deporting as many. I think it's gone from what 1500 to 1200 a day. Right.

But for three as we're portally, but for those 300 to cause the chaos. It turned the American public away from you on the number one or two issue of why people voted for you to the point. To the point now where Republicans are saying.

We need to get to the point of of of ice not being able to remove anybody who was in this country illegally.

Even if they even if they're a criminal unless they're a child predator, a drug trafficker or a terrorist. And you get to that. When you get to that point then it becomes. All right. What does enforcement look like? Enforcement of the border look like.

It because everything becomes tricky for the border agents.

“What is the standing order for the border agents that are out there?”

To put us on the ground every day. And and. My concern is going back. I don't know pretty much since I started and talk radio since you started and talk radio. Talking about.

Amnesty and the border and everything else and the two parties just kind of melded together. And there wasn't much difference. And until Trump came in, you know, when in 2016 and and you had said this back then we said it a few times since. He owned the border is on in terms of the issue of the border. That was his issue he owned it.

And it wasn't unique.

It wasn't the first time that politically it had become a football.

And it was the first time that they had become a football. And it was the first time that they had become a football. And it was the first time that they had become a football. And it was the first time that they had become a football. And it was the first time that they had become a football.

And it was the first time that they had become a football. And it was the first time that they had become a football. And it was the first time that they had become a football. And it was the first time that they had become a football. But then they moved on to the next problem and they deal with whatever's going on.

And the point being is if you. If if if you're going to. Capitulate if you're going to just hand it to the Democrats and go. Okay, we'll stop deporting people except for criminals.

Then it tells me you're willing to lay down on other things.

And it may be other things related to the border. But what got you there. Was the fact that and I think this is. Homens philosophy. You do it, but you don't want to war on the streets doing it.

And you had now and but I believe I've truly believed the Christy known. Got another position in the White House because. Remember what she wanted to matter that to our meeting. When the White House backed off and said, no, we went too far. We went too far.

And I think her point and Bavino's point's going to be that he's talking already now. You're not happy with home. It's because this came from the White House. Yeah. I believe that no man Stephen Miller wanted the chaos on the streets.

They thought it would work to their advantage. Right. Like like the riots in the past. Right. We became riots.

We're home. We're home and did not. Right.

“And I think that was there and I think that what remember.”

You're talking about what independence want. And when you see a home and promotes us, I care about the American citizen. And I don't want them to be killed and I don't want this. And I, you know, and I want, you know, legal. I want legal immigrants to be able to come in.

These people have waited in line. We need to have some type of justice for it. But you talk it in a voice that is full of compassion. And for Americans and yes, unfortunately, there are people that have been here a while that may that, you know,

if we catch them, we're going to have to go back. We don't like it. We understand the problem with it. But we need to have a system of laws in this country. It's how you explain it.

And Stephen Miller was not the person to explain it. I believe home and believes. Right. And the way that no one was doing it was not the way was not the way to do it. It matters how you market everything.

Because think about this where we are. Don't get mad at me. Trump agrees. We went way too far.

“That's why they're not doing it anymore.”

Oh, no, there was a clear change on the top that said we can't do this. And, and so it's, as we've said many times before, how you do something absolutely matters. But when you think about where we were, to now the White House,

That shows you how big they blew it.

It's a problem. We are Red Eye Radio. We wind up and for your goals. 866-90 Red Eye on Red Eye Radio. [ Music ]

We're Red Eye Radio. He's our Crony and I'm hearing McNamara. Yeah, I did find the Fox headline. Here it is. Senate Republicans cave to Democratic shutdown plan after White House meeting.

And it said the president said, "Well, I'm, I really don't like a lot of of it, but he didn't reject it yet."

“That's how bad it is for Republicans right now.”

You want to know how bad it is? That's how bad it is.

When, when you have Democrats, Democrats are so confident right now

that they will absolutely be out there saying, "We're stupid and don't know how to get a birth certificate. None of us are." And they'll fight something that's landslide numbers in the polls because they believe that immigration, legal immigration,

immigration, whatever you want to call it, Department of Homeland Security. And prices are killing the debt we were Republicans. And that's the only thing that matters to independence. Yep.

[ Music ] Top of the our news is brought to you by [email protected]. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One. [ 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.

He is Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning, thanks for being here. Thank you. Just taking a look at all the news of today and extrapolating it out to the question that I get the most

from everybody out there.

“My friends, how do the Republicans look for November?”

What's going to happen? Everybody's concerned about it. You know, Republicans are dumb. They know that the president won on immigration and the making the economy better.

Prices really is what the president won on. And those are the two things that are killing him right now and killing the Republicans. Yeah, politically. They just are.

We're not going to be issue. We're not going to lie to you. We're not going to go. But it's great because ISIS at the airport handing out water and helping people and they think it's great and look at CNN, CNN,

talking about how great ISIS and how they solve the problem. That doesn't matter.

“What matters is the Senate Republicans and Trump”

not outright rejecting the proposal. Senate Republicans have, which is, well, partially nice, but not for enforcement and deportation. Unless you're a sexual predator. A terrorist.

There was another classification. And you made the great point during the top of the hour. You went, well, if you're not going to fund ISIS. And you're not sure about whether you can get enough Republican votes in reconciliation because would Republicans be willing

to do this. And then come back that they know that ISIS on popular would they be willing to fund ISIS again in two weeks or a week where they come back under reconciliation and do that because you made the great point.

This is de facto amnesty if you do this. Well, this is if they do this and nothing changes. They don't, let's say they don't get this done in reconciliation.

You know, fix it or put it back basically.

Then this is de facto amnesty without creating a law on amnesty because if you're saying we're only going to deport the hardened criminals, those hardened criminals wouldn't be able to stay under amnesty anyway. So you're not deporting anyone else.

There's no funding for that. So there wouldn't be any deportations. Otherwise, which means you actually have amnesty. And what do you think is going to happen at the border if that's the case? If that's the case, you're going to see others trying to cross the border

would drive for it. Think about that. Right? If you don't have a criminal history and you're from another country and you want to come here and you know that they're not going to deport

anyone unless they have a criminal history. Then you're going to make an effort to get here illegally because you know that if you do get here, there's less of a chance, much less of a chance of you being deported because that funding isn't there, which means you've essentially put in kind of a wetfoot

drive foot, which relates to Cuba, but it's basically kind of a new wetfoot drive foot law and also amnesty at the same time. No. But politically, that's where Republicans feel they are. That's how big Republicans believe.

And even the White House believe they blew it with the nasty deportation. Let me ask you this. We know like on the national debt.

“Fiscal Conservatives, hey, do you guys remember Doge?”

I do. You remember? I was just excited that people were talking about the debt and spending. I didn't even think we'd get back to a conversation, but along those lines, you think we're at the point where the GOP is looking and going, look,

because you do, you've said it a million times over the years.

You need the independent, and if you've lost the independent, then things are going to shift. In midterm, general election, whatever it is, you need the independent voter. But on top of that, are there some GOPers out there, that are registered Republicans ranking file?

Let go. We're not like in this. Remember what happened with Obamacare in 2016? The campaign promise, we're going to gut Obamacare. It's going to be gone, gone, gone, gone.

And it wasn't maybe March April. It's 2017 when they Republicans took over and trust first term.

“They were like, oh, we're not going to remember.”

I'm not going to get rid of Obamacare. And the reason was, is because of the backlash of doing the deed. Now, I can't tell you the mentality change in the voter of what drives the election, what would drive the election to get them the results, and then pull back, I can't tell you, with ice we can.

We can tell you that the soup show that happened and played out all over media, social media and everywhere shouldn't have been a social media game for a number of reasons, because people can get hurt. Agents, civilians. It's everybody that's involved in that situation.

If you're going to play this out like a show, then expect the radicals to show up as they did and expect things to go down, the way they did and the potential for loss of life.

I think what happens is what always happens.

Either party tends to focus too much on their base once they get elected, and the whole goal in today's politics in the United States, and what it should be because Trump successfully did it. He got a coalition of people that normally don't vote Republican, the vote Republican. Why he convinced them if he became president,

what he would do would be in their best self-interest. And that's what you have to do.

“What you have to do is, and it's so easy.”

To me, it's not a hard thing to still have a conservative bent. And convince independence. I think it's easy when you look at the insanity of where the Democrats stand on the issues. And maybe the nuances all you have to do as a Republican is make sure you cover all the nuances and explain to people in a very simple way, here's how this helps you.

But this is where we get to prices. Yeah. As we had said, and we warned from the very beginning, we got a lot of flag from our own audience on it.

We always have on tariffs.

We said, "Look, there are times when it's justified to use tariffs." But we figured, obviously, the way the Constitution is written, the president was going to lose. Right. Yeah. President can't tax.

Yeah. And they lied about that up front. Right. We're taxing the exporter.

That was a lie.

Well, to the point of best thing, having to go on every interview he did,

he essentially had to admit. No, no, it's the importer of that paste. Right. And we're seeing it right now. And the next one, the 302, that's going to be overturned by the Supreme Court.

So we'd be Billions more paid. You know, you had a president that came in and said, "We're going to cut you." You know, what was it? $5,000.

Don't check. I forgot what the amount was. Yeah. You're going to get a check here.

You're going to get a tariff check.

You're going to get this. And what did you get?

“Wasn't it the tariff check at one point, like $2,000?”

I forget it. $2,000. I forgot what it was. I did something in the house. Yeah.

The doge check. At some point, just got to a ridiculous number. And it was like, that's not going to happen. You and I said, it's not going to happen. We said from the very beginning,

when you come out, when you have a time of inflation like we have, you cannot over promise and under deliver. If you if you got to a point, we're not going to see this in our lifetime. But if you got to a point where you had so much revenue coming in or or doge savings that were so great, write the check and then tell people you're welcome.

Don't make the promise as you just pointed out. You're over promising and under delivering and that's by the way with any. If there's any president and in recent years that doesn't need to do that. It's Trump because the confidence is there that he can get things done is what I'm saying. He doesn't need to over promise.

None of that is necessary. We said in 24 on lowering prices, you shouldn't have promised to lower prices. What you say is, look, they build this massive massive inflation from the spending. Prices will still be going up even if we hit our target rate of 2% on inflation.

But here's what we're going to do every day.

We're going to work to increase your buying power by building the economy back the way it should be. And don't say anything about lowering prices because once you make that promise, you own it. When you when he kept saying, we're rich, the riches that we have where the richest country. This is the best economy ever and people don't feel it. He fell into the Biden trap.

Yep. Which is you tell people that what they view as self-evident isn't happening. Right. Right. We said it from day one. And so whether you view the, you know, the, the, the, the tariffs as justifiable in some cases as we do. The fact is, as we said from day one.

And I got pushed back from some of my friends on this. And I went, my God, you people are free marketers. What the hell you're talking about? You, you cannot raise the cost of doing business and make an overall economy better. You can make segments of it better.

Yep. You can't make it overall better. Now, if you're saying that we're going to do this. And five, six, seven, ten years from now, we may bring back some jobs.

“Well, that's how you're going to have to sell it.”

But the fact is, this is one of the worst years for jobs outside of a recession. Right. What do we plus 17,000 jobs in an entire year? Or not, excuse me, since May of last year. Yeah, we've lost 75 to 80,000 manufacturing jobs.

The trade deficit has not changed at all. No, no, not if it's changed. No. Everything that we were, and so everything that was promised to you from checks to more jobs to lower prices. The public has not felt it.

They can't change it in time. The only thing that they could do is if the war ended and I don't know how it's going to end. You know, we'll get to that here in a little bit. What Iran claims they want and what the United States claims they want. Right.

You're further apart than where you were before the war began. Exactly. If those are accurate. Right.

“And so the only thing I could see is you get out of it.”

You get what you want. I find it fascinating. The stories that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates want to join the war. That's mind-boggling when you think about it. The Middle East wants this done.

If the president succeeds on this, this could save him.

“Because if he if this is if this works out.”

And they defeat it and they get.

80, 70, 80 percent of what they want from Iran and oil prices crash.

And I would say now drop the tariffs. You're not. I was about to say you're not a chance as he comes in and says. Every country that takes part in helping us. Defeat Iran and their nuclear abilities and everything else.

Every nation that helps us will be. Have their tariffs lowered to whatever you need something drastic. No, no, you need to move. You need something. In both the war effort itself.

Well, but but also with tariffs. And if you wait. Here's the problem. Here's the great concern they should have.

If the court defeats you a second time on tariffs.

And they're going to this is a stronger case. And it happens and you don't do something ahead of that. Take the range yourself and make the change and then okay, then you know, the court cases are relevant. I don't by the way, I don't have I have no confidence that's going to happen. Except for the fact that I could see them saying these nations who are helping us are going to get special considerations on tariffs.

It's these are big big issues. They're the biggest because we're talking about the economy on every level when it comes to the war with a ran. Energy prices right now. They're all over the place. The United Airlines CEO talking about, you know, because fuel prices go up.

Take it prices go up. Fewer people fly that affects the economy. You know, he also talked about TSA funding.

He was not happy. He said, you know, they got to get this done.

This is ridiculous. But the whole thing is is about how it's affecting everyone here at home. But you look at, you look at, it was the other day, 78 bucks to fill my truck. You know, and this is for people who commute, who use maybe a pickup truck to work every day. Well, the thing is gas prices are up.

401k's have taken a big. Yeah. One of my yesterday. I got a few foreign kids. I'll even want to win. Oh, my. Yeah.

Thank goodness it's just on paper. I'm trying not to look. I have looking one case, but I'm like. Yeah. Yeah.

And, and that's hitting everybody. And, and so you're looking going, I voted for Trump because he was going to take care of us and not other places. And what he's not he's doing in my opinion, oh, by the way, to answer your question, he's not going to lose the base of the GOP. She's not going to lose the Republicans aren't going to lose my vote because the option is just absolutely unacceptable. The other option.

And that's it's insanity. Well, I wasn't going to keep my question. But you will you will lose independence and you will lose Democrats and voted Republican and wanted to give Republicans a chance. Now, I don't see a long-term future for the Democratic Party. Right.

“My question on the GOP was more about sentiment on on a couple of key issues and how are they seeing something in their internals that show.”

Oh, crap. We need to do something different here with a significant number of GOP voters. I don't know. Well, some of the GOP voters were independent. So yeah, you got a problem there.

Yeah. Well, I mean, I mean, loyal Republicans. Yeah. I don't think I don't see lower Republicans leaving. They know too much.

They know what the opposition is. So we are right. I radio. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by house products tested, trusted guaranteed since 1920. The voluntary product of USA label standard for meat, poultry and egg products has been in effect such January 1st.

Orn raised, harvested, and processed here in this country, which is a change. It all has to happen in this country.

“And that's what the label is all about. No shortcuts, no exceptions and no confusion.”

But on Tuesday, National Agriculture Day, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollett's made this announcement at USDA headquarters with assistance from this video presentation product of USA. We are thrilled to announce a new public awareness campaign that is sure to go viral entirely focus on supporting American meat, poultry and egg products that truly are a product of the USA. More information about product of USA labeling, including enforcement and promotion of such is available online. At www.productofUSA, all-one-word.gov.

On rod-bade reporting for the US Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senax Fules and Looms. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carley.

[Music]

“We are running our radio. He's our Carley and I'm Gary McNamara.”

And by the way, the Democrats have already used it. They said, "Oh, Trump's taking care of everybody around the world, and here you are, and you can't afford stuff."

Now, gas prices are high. Energy prices are high. Odds are the inflation numbers and going to be good for March or April, and so you're looking in saying, "Wow." Yeah. For all my friends that have asked me, "No, the Republicans have a huge problem for this midterm, and they don't seem to be concerned about it." You know, when we talked about Susie Wiles having that meeting, where they said, you know, "Stay on message because the president won't." That was an all-hands-on-deck meeting, yep.

And then it was like, you know, really, don't mention prices. Right. There's nothing we can do about it. Yeah. Well, that's not a winning strategy. No. [Music]

You're listening to Red Eye Radio from the Ray Leef Backers Studio. [Music] We are Red Eye Radio. He is our Krony and I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome and good morning.

Thanks so much for being here. Yeah. Thank you. All right. Looking here, here it is. A first story. Rancets a high bar in ceasefire talks.

Here's what Iran is asking for.

All right. Iran representatives elect the Trump administration. No, they have a high bar for re-entering negotiations for ceasefire deal. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has consolidated power within the Iran regime and is making demands such as the closure of all American bases in the Gulf

and reparations for attack on Iran. Other demands, a new order for the straight of hormones that would allow Iran to collect fees from ships. The transit the waterway as Egypt does not with the Suez Canal. Guarantees at the war would not restart and an end to Israel strikes on Iran.

Aligned Lebanese militia Hezbollah. Lifting all sanctions on Iran. Permitting Iran to keep its missile program with no negotiations to limit it. All right. The U.S. plan from what we know.

We don't have all the 15 points, but the U.S. has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war, which centers largely around the previous Trump administration demands for Iran. The document sent through intermediaries calls for Iran to dismantle its three main nuclear sites. And then any enrichment on Iranian soil suspended ballistic missile work.

“So it's important for proxies and fully reopen the state of Hormuz.”

In return Iran would have nuclear-related sanctions lifted. The official said and the U.S. would assist while monitoring the country's civilian nuclear program. The plan broadly reflects the U.S. proposal discussed with Iran. Before the war started on February 28th. So when the president said, well, no Iran wishes to negotiate.

They really wanted to negotiate, yes they do, but it's what they're negotiating from what we see here. Exactly. They're not close. No. No.

As you mentioned earlier, they're further apart than they were before the war started. Yeah.

“And the fact is, if you don't have regime change in there, if you don't have new elections,”

that's not going to cut it with the American people. Yeah. Well, it's, it may, I mean, if we just get out and they go, if it may, maybe it would.

But if that regime is still there, you know, I don't care what this administration does. The next administration of its a democratic administration is not going to live up to truly monitoring what Iran is doing. We know they, they gave them money. Now, the question is also, I mean, the whole point of it was, it looked bad that the President allowed them to sell the 100,

sell the 140 million barrels of oil.

It didn't lower prices. It didn't, no, it didn't, it didn't, it didn't do anything. Right. Price is skyrocketed. Again, there was no reason to do that.

There was immediate criticism from Democrats. You criticized Obama or, excuse me, Obama for doing it or, and Biden for doing it. And, but you're doing it. Now, I do think that skyrocketing is at a great point.

“They go, well, you know, because, well, what do you think the, I told you things about it?”

What do you mean? What do you think the, I told you things about it? Nothing. He's dead. There's a difference between doing it then.

And we have talked about the fact of if they're, if you're doing it because you want, to promote to a new government that you're willing to cooperate, that's one thing, but to do it before the war is over, that didn't make any sense to release 140 million barrels of oil. No, yeah, I could have seen this happen like during a transition period to,

right, fund the transition and my election or whatever. But yeah, it didn't make sense. I have to wonder the story coming, source story on New York Post and others, with 3,000 troops from the Army's 82nd Airborne being readied basically, prepared now.

Here's what I have to wonder on the conversation game, the talks with Iran.

I'm wondering if this is more of an intel game because one of the things that, if you think about it like during a, you know, a hostage scenario,

“where somebody is hold up in a building with hostages, right?”

The negotiators will talk with that person and start to basically just try and get some insight on where they might be, to get a better understanding of what they can and can't do. You know, you think we have the ability to, to, to breach and then get everybody out safely. And I'm wondering if this is, in part, first of all, everything's an intel game. But I'm wondering if this, at the talk thing is, is like, as the dust settles,

trying to figure out where the pecking order is. Now, you have designated individuals that are talking on both sides according to the stories. Again, we just are assuming all of this stuff is accurate and true, right? But there would be tells that would tell you because I think they want to know about the new Supreme Leader. They want to know about who's left, who is also still loyal.

Is there anybody speaking up? Is there anybody reaching out to other channels that says, you know, hey, look, I'm not, I'm bored with this regime, you know, I'd like all this to end.

“You know, I'm wondering how, I guess the question, how much of it is an intel play.”

It's an intel play, but to what level is, is my question. I don't know if you said it on the air, whether it was the thought I had over the weekend when they, when he put, you know, the deadline for Monday, otherwise we're going to start, you know, destroying power plants. Right. And I went, I wonder if whoever's in charge or is taking that and said, that's a bluff. He's not going to do that. Right. Because they want the power structure and the grid and the oil available for the new government,

if that's their goal to put in a new government. Right. Now, it may get to the point where they say, well, doesn't matter the new government's going to deal with that. And we'll help them rebuild and, you know, and Middle East will help them rebuild too. Right.

But I find fascinating are the stories out there that Saudi Arabia wants this thing finished. And so does the UAE, the United Arab Emirates. Oh, yeah. They want a ran done. Yeah.

I mean, that's obvious now, which is really, when you think about it, really pretty incredible.

Well, I mean, I never thought I would see that.

So I wonder whether the president, whether they did that because, as you're saying, we want five more days to retarget. We want five more days. And this also shows the world. We're willing to, we're willing to negotiate with you.

And if not boom, I mean, that thought was been out there for many different publications.

the infrastructure of Iran if there's going to be a new government in there. And yeah, because then you're charged with rebuilding it during a transition. You know, I mean, they're because you want to civilians. You don't want some massive refugee crisis going on as a result of, you know, the transition. And the fact that there's no power.

“It, it, it was certainly, I think, a play.”

But, you know, the, the other thing, too, is that I think they have to measure and find out exactly what they are, where they are and, and what they're capable of doing, you know, what they're capable of producing. Who's in charge of, and, and maybe the thing with the letting themselves the oil. Did you get intel from that as to who is running the oil game right now in Iran? Who's who? Where's the pecking word? Who's in charge of what they ran into this post-ventus waila?

A post, Maduro capturing. And they thought, you know, the, the former opposition to Maduro would be the best person to go in. And of course, you know, bring freedom. But Maduro's right hand person, she had the, the control of the military and the oil.

“So what do you do? You have to convince her and they did, by the way, in just one day, a very different situation, not as many moving parts.”

But the thing was Saudi Arabia and UAE. Look at how they have been reaching out to Westerners in how many different ways. I mean, tourism, UAE relies on the ultra-rich to, you know, travel there, spend tons of money there. But they need that imagery, you know, if you, my gosh, if you think about golf. You know, I mean, taking over an American game, or Scottish game, or whatever, you want to call it.

But a Westernized game, basically. And, and, and trying to, you know, the, and creating live.

There were some big issues with it. There still are. But the point is, they know the importance of having a neutral kind of feel with most of the world. And they need a ran to be out of the picture. They want this done. So now add to it the story of the 3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne being prepared. When I saw that, I thought, if that is true, by the way, I would expect that to be the case.

But it means that they're looking at this real possibility now of involving troops, which wasn't being talked about early on.

“You have to look at, where do you go next? What is the next mission? The next step to accomplish in all of this?”

And if you reach out knock on the door, hey, do you want to talk? And they come back with, yeah, reparations.

And, you know, all this ridiculous stuff that's never going to happen. You know where they are. You've exercised diplomacy in the meantime.

To tone everything down, to get to a plateau, to relaunch whatever the next effort is going to be. If that's the game. The question is, and I'm curious all day about how. They know right now about what it's going to take to overthrow the current but left of the regime. But a very important but here, times of Israel reporting the other day yesterday, that the US does not want to show us some government back in. Yeah, I had seen that somewhere else. Does not want, does not want to call some of the loser prince as no, he comes from the outside. We don't need that. And they're still talking about the Iranian parliamentary leader, but they're saying.

He's very unlikely to capitulate to the Washington's demands and may be too close to the Islamic Revolutionary Court. Right. Well, then that blows everything because you're talking about the original eight minutes speech was will tell Iran when to take over your country.

Yeah. Well, if you put in the Iranian parliamentary leader who was close ties to the, you know, revolutionary Islamic guard.

Well, that's, that's, that's, that'd be besides destroying their ability to project any power for the next 10 years. This may be where it's similar to the Maduro thing.

And I've been saying this from the beginning. You have to test the loyalty all all along. If you could convert that person like you converted Maduro's right hand person in Venezuela and get her saying a total singing a totally different tune literally by the end of the day.

“If there is that if you change those hearts and minds and there no longer loyal to the old regime, that's one thing, if they are loyal to the regime, then you have to go in and you have, there has to be an oil.”

Well, as they're saying right now, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard is now leading the country. That's almost the consensus.

Right. Out there. So the, the, the, the, and somebody has to believe them then the parliament leader really doesn't matter. But right now, they've rejected everything from the United States. So you've got so many of hundreds, maybe possibly thousands of those, the, what you would call the leaders or the management of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. And that's a completely different ballgame. They wish to stay, they wish to stay in power.

“Because I think that's because they gotta know how deep the roots are. They, they may all be dead. So who are you negotiating with?”

Right. And maybe that's what they're trying to figure out. Again, the pecking order here. We are run. I radio.

Get in touch with what I radio toll free at 866. May be right. I. We are run. I radio. And he's our crowning. I'm Gary McNamara. You, I guess you could ask a question. What is political victory for the president in, in, in, in the, uh, war against, uh, the Iran regime.

“Right. Yeah. And to me, it's what he laid out to be getting.”

Yeah. People revolt people around the streets. They're all cheering American flags are waving, Iranian flags are waving, Trump, you know, posters of Trump are all over the place. That's a victory that could help politically the president. Anything else? I don't think helps him. Keeping, keeping the regime in and saying this person's part of the regime and we're negotiating with them is a much tougher cell.

Yeah. Yeah. Because it's, there's a, there's a, there's a, a lot of details in that. And we've always said that's the problem.

A lot of this is how to your control. The, on this end. Right. Right. This is rid of radio on Westwood one. The Dan Bonchino 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 hear this anywhere else. Hard truths. There's a lot of stuff to talk about.

They think it'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 you're all welcome. I want to hear it all. The Dan Bonchino show. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

See you there.
