03-31-26 Part One - There Are Still No Kings

The master of the club's laptop is soft, the internet.

It's a master's real name. I'm saying, you can say that you're a hero. You're a master of the company, right? But you don't understand. Exactly. The job is worth it.

Do you just do it with this story? And if you then work, you'll be able to do it. -That's right? -Safe. This story. You're going to give it a go.

Now, let's try it out. 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.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you.

“All right. Well, I think the most spot on analysis”

of no things this past weekend was a britium on on Fox News, who said it was just, it was a great success. The Democrats. -Yeah. -All right.

I love this. Here we go. All right. I think we'd have to count this as a great success, Brad. But they've now had three of these no kings, demonstrations over the past less than a year, I guess.

And we don't have any kings, so... That's like the joke where it's like, you know, why do you have that statue in your front yard? That weird statue. It keeps the dinosaurs away.

What? Well, you don't see any dinosaurs. That's great. It's interesting how much, especially on the local level that got.

Yeah. I'm vote because of the fucking thing. They're no kings thing from local TV station, because it's happening in your community and so you cover it. Right.

“And, but it's the fact that when any interview,”

I have not seen on social media yet a... I'm trying to say, do I see one? Maybe I haven't seen one. I've gone through so many of them. Where they get a coherent answer as to, you know, explaining...

No. They've asked a question why you out here and people say, I disagree with Trump's policies. That's not the point. They just feed no kings.

Right. Trump's trying to be a king. When you say no kings, what does that mean? Right.

Well, he would want to be a king if he could. I would not be a king if I could. Well, how many times have I talked about if it was the United States of McNamara? Exactly.

By the way, for years. It wouldn't be the United States. It wouldn't be the United States. It would be... Well, we don't know.

No, it would be the United States. It would be the United States. It would be the United States, because if you didn't say it was the United States, well, you sort of disappear.

There would be a certain form of punishment. We would exile you to Canada. No, no, no, no, no. The death penalty. No, we cannot have cruel and unusual punishment.

That would be kinder. Yes. And we are in Texas. So, you know. Yeah.

We're kind of partial to the death penalty. But I've not seen a coherent answer from anyone. Not one person. And this is what are the examples we give. Republicans really have to explain what they believe.

Yeah.

Liberals and Democrats never have to explain.

They just shot it.

“It's like nobody asked the question, what does this mean?”

Right. What does this mean? Right. What does this mean? You know, they, you didn't see them.

Some of the pushback with, you know, the, the one guy who looked like, you know, a Burger King. You only did look like Burger King. Yeah. Whatever that King used to run around.

I don't think they don't think they use it anymore. Yeah. The King from Burger King. The King from Burger King looked like it. And they just said, well, you know,

you're talking about no kings here. But you're the party that had no nomination, you know, a process of a primary with a Democratic voter shows it. Yes, we did.

No, you actually did. Yes, we did. You're better stop talking there. It's like, I'm just going to lie. I'm going to pretend reality doesn't exist.

Hmm. Yeah. No, it's, it really is, it really is that. And I think I'm starting to think that the no kings

And, and quite frankly,

I hesitate using the word idiots, but there's just no other way

to describe them. Not all of them are idiots. I'm sure a healthy portion of them are. They come off as idiots. Maybe they're not idiots.

But you would think when somebody puts a camera in front of their face, they could make the case.

“Let's say they believed, and I think they did,”

that that person that young lady interviewing him, he thought was probably friendly, right? A liberal activist reporter. And if you think that, you want to make your case even stronger. Because what you're thinking is, well, wait a minute.

Other people are going to see this. And they're not here. I want them to know exactly why we're here. And he couldn't put a coherent thought out there. And I think it's a good point.

You make that. I haven't, and I haven't seen one. Where somebody on the ground, a protester, has been interviewed and coherently defined why they're there. Well, I don't know.

They may not be idiots. They might be geniuses because they have been so convincing to us that they're idiots. No, no, that's not it. I ran that one through.

I ran that one through. The pause was me running that through. And it didn't take long. Shortest roller coaster ride ever. That one.

No. Isn't that, isn't that evidence that the effective pause? Yeah. Can be the most hilarious moment of a statement made. Yeah, because I went around the whole block on that one.

I did my due diligence. And that's all it took. It was only a couple of seconds.

“But that's, that's what happens when you indoctrinate.”

This is all learned behavior, of course. I mean, much of behavior is learned, but it's indoctrination. And it's, and I think a lot of them that show up that are there are expecting the, yeah, yeah, you know, I like minded individuals. That's a big part of rallies to begin with or protests.

To begin with, so you're there with like-minded people. And it is group think. But the moment you're challenged on it.

And you and I always think about this because of what we do.

The moment you're challenged on it, you fall apart. Now, I don't want to talk anywhere big. And then you just run away. Get a reminds me of the Rachel Dullesall thing. Remember that.

The first report that one first reporter. That's just, we have information that you're not black. She's like, huh? I don't know what you're talking about. I got to go.

Turns out she has blue eyes. And blonde hair was wearing black face. And pretending she was black. That happened. That happened.

That's not a myth. And a significant portion of Democrats thought it was okay.

“After, in the fallout after, remember they had it on the today show, I think.”

Well, do you remember the view commenting on it? Yeah. Well, you know, if someone, you don't want to identify if they want. And that's where. And then was that was that was Rachel Dullesall before after Obama.

And I believe it was when he was leaving in the end of 2015. No, 2016. It would have been in the summer of 2016 that the social construct thing on race. No, that was like December. Okay.

That was, well, the article came out. Yeah. Like in December of 2016. Oh, that's right. Because it was, it was a, it was an Obamacare article or interview he did in the summer.

And that one he did later in the year. What weeks before he was done. Right. It was like, it was like his exit interview. Yeah.

And they asked him, you know, you're a mixed race. Why do you, you know, why do you refer after Rachel Dullesall? Right. And I believe it was the Atlantic. It was after then.

Okay. Right. Because I've come to understand that race is a social construct. Yeah. Just went.

Wow. And it just, the, we brought it up. It was completely and totally ignored by the mainstream media. No, it was completely and totally ignored. It was like, okay.

We just need not. And that's where you have censorship of ideas that even come from the left at the left. You know, it's like, well, we're the gatekeeper. We don't care whether Obama said it. We can't defend that one.

That was just plain old stupid. Yeah. And so we're going to move on from that point and just not discuss it.

You know, the interesting thing when we look at the no kings because there is never been a time.

And I say that, well, okay.

We'll say 63. No, okay. I was seven. Well, I'm trying to think of when I made that great that great analysis of the, of the, the, the Kennedy Nixon debate.

And my mother said, who do you think one? And I went that guy and I pointed to Nixon. Yeah. No. That did turn.

That just proved I had a great career ahead as a political analyst. I went that guy there once. And she goes, you think he won? I don't remember that. I don't remember that.

Didn't you run out your dry erase board and told away. Yes. All right. We'll say, let's put it this way. We'll say 60 years.

All right. Because I don't remember that. And so we're talking about as we get to 66, 67, the Vietnam War. That's really my memory goes back, you know, with clarity, you know, to, to that time.

“And I've been in, in radio now almost, you know, I think it's 44 years June.”

Something like that. And so since I've been in radio, even before radio, being on when I was in, because I got into radio actually in 78. Then I got out for a while. So I've almost been in for half century and college. I was paying attention to what was going on.

All right. So as an, you know, as an adult, as a elder teenager, as an adult, I've been analyzing stuff for ages.

I've never seen a major political party like this.

The idea is that they are promoting the fact that there isn't even a coherent sentence. And we look at, we look at, you know, this November. And if Democrats win, it's because of prices. Yeah. That's why they win.

If they win, it's because of prices. And it's will be an amazing point in history that you had two political parties, such as basically said, prices don't matter to people when it's the number one thing that people say that they're concerned about. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Yeah.

Yeah. And I probably left out a million overs. Yeah. But long term. A lot of discussion.

I've seen this week about long term about 28 and and and beyond. And who was it? Romer manual, we've straightened up or, you know, we're dead in 28. You've had, you know, political console.

“I think even Stephen A. Smith said, it could be dead and not that he's an expert political analyst.”

But he's getting better. He's looking at the crazy stuff. He's recognizing it and and that's a that's a positive. And, you know, there's there's a chance. There's still is there still time to to save it.

If they can get the Iran thing. You know, you know, done in a month, the war done against the regime and make progress on that. You and I have said, and we're not the only ones that have said it.

He needs to do that. He needs to drop the terror. He needs to do a national of, you know, basically gas holiday gas tax holiday.

And if you do that. The stock market will go through the roof. The price is hopefully will moderate. And if you can go in. If you can go in to the and I, you know, I don't know if you can reach, you know, two percent. I don't know.

But you really know other choice right now. But the Republicans for the life of me and we've been screenings since day one on this of this administration. Yeah. To a ton of criticism, even for many of our listeners. Right on that, right.

We said, you cannot ignore prices. Well, no, you put tariffs on and it will reduce prices. No, it won't. You know, the media is using affordability affordability affordability and affordability crisis. And who wasn't the other day on Capitol Hill? Oh, it was Elizabeth Warren.

The Trump economy. You know, I mean, they're in full mode for the majority. But I noticed this, it was a San Antonio newspaper on a story that, you know, totally unrelated. But it was talking about affordability, what people are doing instead of living and home. Some, they're moving into RVs and stuff like this.

What are the laws?

“Can you live here or on your own land and all that?”

And it was an interesting article. But they were using the, I've seen the word affordable or affordability in so many stories. It is right now the hot word. Now, the one hope is for the Republicans is the Democrats. I believe it was the Fox News poll over the weekend that showed on the economy.

The Republicans and maybe this is because of Virginia. And maybe because the public looks at it and says, OK, the tariffs are soon going to be gone. And the Republicans in general are more free market. And that will bring down prices where if you look at what the Democrats want to do.

I did see on the economy that the Republicans were up a couple of points.

“I think it was the Fox News poll over the weekend, which would be great news for them.”

But as we have said early on, when the president came out and said, we're going to lower prices from day one and day one. Really, we got the tariffs. You needed to justify and say, look, prices aren't going to moderate as quick, but we're doing these tariffs here. So we can rebuild, you know, and have less of a trade imbalance. Now, that hasn't happened with the tariffs at all.

We haven't gotten more manufacturing jobs. We've lost close to 80,000 manufacturing jobs since the tariffs hit last April. And so there is no justification right now for it. You can say long term independence don't care about long term. No, they care about it now right now.

There may be your base that says we're going to stick with you. Independence are going to go, sorry, prices got to give them a chance. Now, you see what happened in Virginia affordability.

And what do they do tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax.

Even taxes, you know, climate change taxes to increase the cost of electricity and fossil fuels. Yep. And, you know, Spanberger is proof that if the Democrats talk affordability, there'll be us in you big time. Yeah.

“But they look at Trump who said, nope, we don't pay the tariffs.”

The foreign companies do Trump lied on that. We all know. Yeah, that does line on economics is a killer in politics. I voted for Trump three times. I'm not going to BS you on what he did.

No, I mean, you end the messaging has to be cleared has to be on point. Yeah. But right at the same time as on Treasury Secretary. Right. Who is his right hand man on this whole thing is saying, no, the importer pays it.

Yeah. Can't do that. Can't do that. That hurt. And, but long term.

You get this thing settled. Every single major issue. And you look at where the people are moving. There's more in that coming up. Yeah.

You look at how the demographic of power line has a great thing. Democrats in decline long term. But yeah, okay, they may win this one. There is no future for the Democrats under the current narrative and political ideology that they hold right now. Because they're policy failed.

Yeah. Time and time again. We are right. I 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 her prohibit the use of cruise control.

“You should only use it in good driving conditions during daylight hours and on rows that have light traffic, few curves or hills and a consistent speed limit.”

Never use cruise control when operating in adverse driving conditions, including what I see or slippery roads.

During rush 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.

We'll be right back with more Red Eye Radio with every currently and Gary McNamara. We are when I radio and he's our currently and I'm hearing McNamara welcome in good morning. And so yeah, prices are always a problem for anybody who has, you know, the incombency has the, the, the, the leadership has the majority in Congress or even in the White House. Always a problem. Yeah.

What's the thing I want to say? Oh yeah, but on so many other things, Republicans communicate and do things that are just reprehensible and don't unite their base. Like the Republicans in the Senate leaving for two weeks. Yeah. You saw the criticism, yes.

Oh man, it was everywhere, yes. Since tomorrow on fur. Well, actually, you know, I didn't hear a lot of criticism on Sunday when we got on yesterday. We criticizes that unbelievable that they left. Right.

Unbelievable that they left because you can reverse that politically and say, well, the democrat Republicans were saying this is about national security. They just went home. Yeah. They're the ones that decide whether we meet or not, they went home. They were criticised severely for that.

So simple things like that does not help unite your base when your base is furious at you. Right. And you just go whatever going home. Yeah. You solve the problem.

Right. Tired of part of the noise.

But independent Americans is adding the light to contrast all that she independent Americans daily news with army veteran Paul Reichoff.

[Music] We are in our radio. He is our colleague. And I'm Gary McNamara. Download our Red Eyewitness app today.

And you can listen when and where you choose. All right. So here it is. Okay. From power line.

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, John Hinderraker wrote. Democrats in decline and and looking at the. You've polling charts. All right. Over the years.

Hmm. Given there are aggressive posture in today's politics, you might assume the Democrats are in the ascendancy. In fact, however, they're in the midst of a long term decline. First, though, some historical perspective. 70 years ago, Democrats had a huge partisan advantage over Republicans.

That advantage has steadily declined and eroded over time in large part because conservative souteners once Democrats are now Republican. It used to be an advantage of over 20 points like 22 points. Hmm. Now it's two to three.

Hmm.

“Remember in 1994, that was the first time that Republicans had the house leadership in decades.”

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, over the past 20 years, the share of Americans who identify with or lean towards a democratic party has decreased at a steady pace.

Two decades ago, about half of the public identified or lean towards a democratic party. That share has decreased by about 7 percentage points where it's about the same for Republicans. Yeah.

Lean to neither party has gone from, oh, about 13 percent to 22 percent.

Uh, you look at the change. Uh, the trend towards a Republican party covers nearly all demographic groups. Uh, you look at and they've got the chart. They're all across the board. Now, uh, the thing is a couple of caveats or an order first while the Democrats had managed

has shrunk drastically. It is not yet negative. Second, a generation ago Republicans were more consistent voters than Democrats. There were more Democrats, but they were less likely to show up at the polls that is no longer true. Still, the tide is running against the Democrats.

The Democrats is becoming a factor as conservatives. There's a couple of points here. As conservatives have been having more children than liberals for some time now and that trend may be accelerating.

“And I think the polls show that what is it like.”

I don't have it in front of me here. And I don't think he mentions that here.

Uh, but I think, um, it's like 70 percent of kids.

Eventually, both the way they're parents do. I think that gets somewhere in there. I think that's what it was. Yeah. So, uh, so, uh, demographics is becoming a factor as conservatives have been having more children than liberals for some time now.

And that trend may be accelerating. And, you're ready for this. The Democrats are crazy. I think they believe they can get away with their far left fantasies because the press will cover for them. But it doesn't work that way anymore.

The press is no longer able to keep secrets, be both because there are many sources of information. And because we can all see on X much of what is going on, whether the newspapers want to write about it or not. And that was interesting because I saw,

who was with some Democrat that said, look, you know, this whole thing that they're promoting about social media, you know, that just, you know, isn't true. Only one in five people look at X a day. Yeah, right.

Yeah. What are you talking about that?

That's almost 70 million people.

None of the networks are drunk. None of the networks are anybody come close to them. Yeah, I was going to say if you could get 70 million viewers a day. Yeah. That's 70 million visitors to your website a day.

are running in favor of conservatives.

“And did I keep, there were so many stories the other day,”

I hope I, I kept it here about, I think it was a Wall Street Journal. Oh, there it is, yes. The, the high tax wealth flight continues. Hmm.

Add this to the mix of what powerline had. Yeah. As Democrats across the country seek to raise income taxes. The IRS on Friday released new data on state income migration. That is a reality check on their ambitions.

Even after the pandemic high tax states continue to lose tens of billions of dollars in taxable income to low tax states. The latest IRS data indicates the adjusted gross income. By the way, I filed my taxes yesterday. Yeah.

I guess that's coming up. I did mine back in February. I had it all organized. And I thought, well, why does well do it? There was no cursing this time.

Oh, no, for me, there was a lot of cursing. Oh, okay. The IRS data includes that the adjusted gross income of tax filers who move between and within states between 22, 22 and 22 and 23. Not surprisingly, overall migration ed from record highs in 2020 and 2021,

during the COVID lockdown, a mortgage lock and effect in rising interest rates of also resulted in fewer people moving. By the way, that does make sense. All right. So from from 23, there's, here's the few research numbers you were talking about.

“Actually, it's, I think it's for their numbers.”

Again, a couple of years ago, a few years ago. They broke it down religion and politics. So according to Pew, the survey indicated that the vast majority of parents with teens had passed along their political royalties. Roughly eight and ten parents who were Republicans or lean toward the Republican party.

81% had teens who also identified as Republicans or lean that way. And about nine and ten parents who were Democrat. Democratic were leaned Democratic 89% had teens who described themselves the same way. So again, that's Pew research. Also about eight.

Okay. Yeah. So it makes sense religion kind of breaks down in many ways the same way.

But, but not always depending on which demographics you go into.

“But on politics, yes, which, which they make a good point.”

You and I have actually talked about that. I'd love to see on the, because we're at a low birth rate, but I'd like to see in the families, especially the newer generation of families that are having debate well. It's always the newer generation. That's helped the, except for a few celebrities out there.

All of us who were older aren't having, still having babies. But the, the child bearing generation. Currently, I would love to see how many of them are on the right. And because we know the low birth rate. So for those who are still having children.

Then it's probably, it probably lanes right. For those who are, again, still having children. Yep. All right, so the, the, the wealth migration. All right, here in the Wall Street, which you got to add to this.

Right. Because the wealth migration, they don't go into numbers. They go into the numbers of the money, not, not the, the people moving. But if the wealth is moving, the people are moving. The, the, the, the states with the highest taxes continue to lose the most income to other states.

California lost a net of 11.9 billion.

Mostly to Texas Nevada in Arizona, other big losers included New York 9.9 billion. Illinois 6 billion Massachusetts 4 billion New Jersey 2.6 billion. Maryland 1.8 billion, Minnesota 1.5 billion. These states impose hefty progressive income tax that while up high earners, businesses, and the upper middle class, while the top state and local rate in New York City is 14.8%.

Individuals who make over 215,000 pay a punishing 10.6%. Minnesota's 9.85% top rate, which hits at $203,000 is the highest in the Midwest. It also imposes a 1% tax on investment income exceeding 1 million. Millionaires in California pay a top rate of 3.13.3% listen to this now, anybody living in Texas or Florida or any state without an income tax or a very low income tax.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

“Millionaires in California pay a top rate of 13.3% but the states 9.3% bracket begins at $72,000.”

9.3% on $72,000. Well, Illinois imposes a relatively low and flat 4.9% income tax rate at least for now. Public unions are trying to replace it with a graduated structure, but it's corporate and property taxes are among the highest in the country. So, if you're going to pay a top rate of $72,000, you're going to pay a top rate of $20,000, you're going to pay a top rate of $72,000, you're going to pay a top rate of $72,000. So, if you're going to pay a top rate of $72,000, you're going to pay a top rate of $2,000.

In other big gainers, South Carolina, 4.1 billion, North Carolina 3.9 billion, Arizona 2.8 billion.

Sunshine isn't the only draw since zero income tax, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and South Dakota also gained income largely from higher tax neighbors. The Hampshire gained nearly 900 million from Massachusetts, which in 2022 enacted a 4% tax surcharge on millionaires. That raised the base states top rate to 9%. I saw an article out there will get to it later on, that the Washington state, the governor signed, was at the 9.9% income tax, which they claim isn't an income tax. It's illegal. That may take a while for them to actually get anything out of that.

But now that there's a movement, there wasn't a movement back in 2022, 2023, like you see in California, we're doing a referendum and it's going to be retroactive.

“Well, people are leaving, as we know, how many billions have they lost just from the billionaires moving?”

Right, because once this goes into motion, the billionaires know the conversation isn't going to stop until somebody gets it done. It's some level. So you've got to go now. You've got to get out while you can, and that's basically what you're seeing. But you're seeing that also for the reasons for the existing income tax rate of what a billionaire or we go back to a Phil Meckleson, you know, and everybody would save from leaving a high tax state on the state income level.

And that is critical. And you heard Hockel talking about it.

Her argument is if you're from New York and you went to Florida and you're a millionaire or a billionaire, come back. It's your New York state patriotic duty.

“She mentioned, we know we have some patriots, which New York state patriots, that and she said, that's great. You need to write me a check.”

But go tell your friends that are down in Florida. They need to move back. We saw the same with Andrew Cuomo. He did the same. And he even said, come on. I'll cook you dinner. Come back. One dinner is going to go. Oh, you mean one, you mean a free steak? Because when steak patriotism becomes the argument to move back and pay a ton more in taxes, you've lost the argument. You have. You have. And it's a, it's because it's different than New York pride, you know, if you're a New Yorker or New York City, if you live, you know, I'm, look, I'm from I grew up in Queens.

You know, forever grew up in Buffalo. Yeah, you know, that's different. There's there's geographical pride that exists out there. I mean, that's why people stay loyal to their statewide teams.

It has no no. I grew up in New York. There is no New York state patriotism. Yeah, Texas is different. We've always had it.

I said that. Yeah, that's a state. So I've lived in Oregon and, and Texas, there's a thing, they're state pride. Yeah, I like it doesn't exist in New York state. Right. And if anybody tries to tell me that it does, you're lying because you're born there. You go back there on a regular basis and, you know, that's and you're really old. So you were born there a long time ago. You've known for many years. Many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many years.

We are, right, I'm ready. He lines up and for your goals. 866-90, right-eye on Red Eye Radio. We are Red Eye Radio and he's our Crony and I'm Gary McNamara.

Companies aren't greedy. Right.

Companies want to make a profit. That's not greed. Yeah. Right. When you're in a voluntary situation where people voluntarily buy your product and you sell that to them, there's no greed involved there. Right. You know what greed is? Greed is Bernie Sanders. Greed are the Democrats saying, we want more of your money. We want more of your wealth. Right. We've already paid taxes on it. We want, we want what you have for what? For programs that don't work. Right.

Is there anybody, we don't believe that? We don't believe that's going to work.

Fraud. Well, we, I'm fraud's going to happen. No, no big deal. Whatever. Just pay more taxes. Pay more time. No. You want greed is what, is what people want from you that they have an earned and they want more of it and more of it for their own selfish purposes. Right. And, and that greed to get that power in order to get to the point to be able to do that.

Well, the Tiger story. Oh, two golf stories. There aren't many times when I can be watching a sporting event and actually have tears in my eyes and it happened this past Sunday. Wow. And you're a bills fan. Yes. That's, yes. That's saying a lot. Yes. And it's the story of Gary Woodland who had brain surgery back in 2023. It was a benign brain tumor that affected the fear and anxiety portion of your brain. They didn't get it all out. He has major PTSD to the point where

if the crowd gets too close. Yeah. He starts to hyperventilate. Yeah. He goes in. There's been times over the last couple of years where on every hole he has to go in to the port of Patti and cry. He's got it really bad. He came out a few weeks ago and said, I've just got to tell the world what's going on with me. Yeah. He said, I can't hide this anymore. I just can't do it. Right. And he just said, I want people to understand if I react in a weird way. It's the PTSD and he's been talking to

soldiers. He's been getting help saying, I can't do it on my own. He goes, but I had to come clean

“with it. Yeah. So there it was. I think it was Friday. And I really don't do a appointment sports”

early at all anymore. Maybe with hockey playoffs coming up. Maybe that. Yeah. And it was Gary Woodland in the lead in Houston. Okay. We'll see what happens. Saturday. I think Saturday evening. Gary Woodland

still winning after the third round. I'm doing stuff Sunday. I sort of forget about it and

all the sudden I look on my phone and it comes over. Gary Woodland up by seven strokes in the fourth, the final round. I had to turn it on. And the last couple of holes. Just, you know.

bad as many soldiers do. Yeah. And, you know, and he said he goes, he said, they said, what about the

“win and you can see, you know, how does this win change anything? He goes, it's one good day.”

Yeah. And he said, he said, what do you want out of this? He goes, just to let anybody else know who's going through anything or anything like this that, you know, you can't do it alone. Get help. There is hope. Oh, man, what a moment it sports that was. You know, as I love that because the first of all, I can't imagine it being a physiological occurrence the way that it is in something that, again, where now you're surroundings, anything could trigger those moments,

that are very traumatic in those moments. And you and I have had conversations over the years. As we, in fact, we were talking on one time, it was a Friday before Memorial Day.

“We started talking about warm movies and how many of them are realistic and then we got into”

conversations. We had veterans, then we're calling in and that show, really, at that point, was not our show because we had so many veterans sharing information about what they had gone through and how they were getting help. And a lot of PTSD and a lot of PTSD, I have two family members that go through it, one of them right now is battling daily. And I hear from him daily, in fact, we make a point to touch base daily. And he's fighting like a two champion, but he's

using what's available to him through the VA. And he has high praises from his experience. And so he's doing that, he's going through, he's set up a process every day of what he needs

to do. And he's following that. He lives alone, never been married, no children. And so there

isn't that internal support group in his home, aside from his pet. And that is something that when you, when you look, again, at a physiological situation, which many times with veterans, we learn can be from something a physiological event, if they were injured. And then that becomes, again, the, the trigger for everything in those moments when they come home. And it's, it is critical for that information to be out there for him to to share that.

Yeah, it is, I can't even, you can't even measure that. How, how important that is, because we all go through things. But if you look at it from, you know, I'm not a veteran. I haven't served. It's hard for me to, I don't know what they're going through. But if the conversation is constantly going on, especially when that night when we talked to those veterans, actually,

they were calling in and sharing information with each other, that was so critical because at the end

of the, the message from those veterans to each other is you're not alone. And there is a way

“to get help. And you should remember that every day. And that's, that's something for him to share”

that his experience, because it's unique. Well, it has to do with the, you know, it has to do with the brain. And when you, when you don't, when you don't have, let me put it this way, dealing with both of my parents having, you know, form of dementia and watching that happen. You realize the chemistry of the brain. You realize that if you are a person that doesn't have PTSD for whatever traumatic thing, you have either witnessed or brain injuries or, you know, manic depression,

any of these things, you know, you realize the chemistry. Yes. And, and, and it's interesting because as I get older and, you know, it's been now 10 years and I've had type 2 diabetes. So twice a year, you get your blood work. Right. When you see and you understand all your blood work. And by the

way, one thing I did realize, you know, there are people that never go to the doctor and it's like

that could kill me. When you get your blood work done every six months, you look at the

hundreds of different things and the blood work and say, my God, thousands of things can kill me. Well, that's it. Which by the way, is not a, is not something that makes you feel, but particularly thrilled. But when you get a CBC a complete blood count, you get, that's a good reading. The doctors know you're, you and I have had this conversation out here. You can't hide that. You know what I mean? No. There's the CBC will tell you the story. Not it won't tell you every

story with every disease, but it will tell you the general story on what's going on of maybe

“some behavior, you need to change or whatever it might be that along with your, your weight and”

and other issues, but what it may be going on. What it does, what it let me know is that you're,

it's all chemistry. Yeah. You know, you're, we're living being the chemistry, does everything including the brain. And so I think, as you get older and you see it, when you don't witness it, we, if you don't live with somebody who has PTSD or any other type of, you know, mental illness out there or dementia, you just think, oh, it's, you know, I think fine. And then when you start realizing, no, it's, you know, it's, you know, the things that can affect human beings, especially the brain.

Yeah. And, you know, so the message that Gary Woodland put out was, I can't do it alone. And, you know, if you have this, you can't, you know, talk to other people. He talked about how we met a security card, security card that he met. But he's now friends with who was a veteran who had

“the same thing. Yeah. Don't, you can't, you can't do it alone. Right. And so he's just, I think he's on a”

mission, and I think he, you know, you talked about being on a mission to help other people with, whatever they have, but probably he's getting more involved with other people that are PTSD, and he can be a great, just a tremendous spokesperson. But when you think about what he was, and he talked about, they, one of the, the, the, the, on field golf announcers was talking about, they could hear him going through his breathing exercises. So yeah, his heart rate is as

a crowd as you get to the T is closer in. Yep. Yep. And how he constantly, oh, and it's something if anybody, you know, if you're, if you don't have that, you're just going, you know, you, you still have to keep your nerves about you. Yeah. But you don't have this thing coming in. Right. That's outside of anything that any normal person has to deal with. Right. Where he said, that's the thing, and he went through it in the press conference, you know, the press conference,

I don't think there was one question about what you had this great shot that really gave it, you know, that really helped when everything was about his PTSD, which was actually not a negative. I'm saying that's a good thing in a very positive way. Yeah. And I guess that there aren't many moments and sports. You know, there's been some exciting shots, the one shot, who was it? Was it the

“guy from Illinois that had that three pointer? I think it was the guy from Illinois. That was pretty”

exciting the other day. I saw the highlights of it. Yeah. You can have exciting moments and sports. Yeah. But there are just some kind of moments like this when somebody overcome something and wins a golf turn. You want to buy five strokes. Well, you know, this is the best golfers in the world. Yeah. And you've got this, you've got this foreign, I don't know how to foreign cloud that is doing everything. Something, again, physiological in your brain that is setting that off. And again,

very similar to to what happens with veterans. And you know, I would expand that to young people. If you're going through something, talk about it. Talk about it with your parents. Talk about it with your friends. Talk about it because I think there's been, you know, we can go back and analyze what's been done right, what hasn't been done right, in terms of raising kids.

But those teen years are awkward. Always. But never feel like you're alone.

Because you have a family that loves you. You have friends that love you and start with conversation. Talk about it. And then from there, hopefully treatment that leads to a solution. And that's something we talked with veterans that night about and have, you know, over the years. And for him to do this in this way, think about this, he's in golf. He's on the big stage. I mean, it would be easy in a moment like that to just want to become a reckless and quit and not be

in order and then put a process in place, which may not be a full remedy. But every day,

as you said, the win, today was a good day. Every day, you fight to have that good day. And he says, you have good days in a bad day. This was a good day. But when he talked about it three weeks ago, when they said, why would you put that why put yourself in the situation that will kick off the, you know, the, the, the PTSD, right, the symptoms. Why would you put yourself? He was at that question. And a nice way. I mean, it wasn't like a mean way. And, and he just said,

because it's my dream, I'm going to experience my dream. I have to go, I have to fight this. I can't let it win. This is what I do. And, you know, when I saw that, if you had, you know, maybe if you hadn't seen it, because I know some people that had the scene that they go, oh, that was this brace, I'm going to just see the interview from three weeks ago. They went,

“no, and I go, you need to watch it. And then then compare it to that, you know, to that moment.”

Well, I held a trigger that reaches a lot of people. On the Tiger Woods thing, because someone said, well, he's going to get away with it. Well, did they, they had a draws blood? Yeah. He refused. If someone said, well, I'm going to get away with it. If they drew his blood.

And, and I never saw a story, I know, I know the breath advisor he didn't, you know,

right, he refused that. No, no, no, they did the breath advisor. Was it? Oh, when they got, when they got to get, when he was detained, then yeah, they did. It was, it was, it was, it was, it was zero. There was no alcohol in his blood. But they would know, through the blood work, now, probably, right, or does it take a while to figure that out to get the, ah, toxic toxic, no, but toxicity comes right back. I told you one, one time I went to an ER,

and then a few hours later, they came back and, and, and, and, no, it was a couple of days later,

“when I got to see it, but they know, when you go on into an ER, they don't know what you've done.”

They have to assume you're not telling them the truth that you may have taken something dangerous,

or ingested something dangerous, so they do a toxicity, a check and, a test, and, so that's,

they get that, they should get that back right away within an hour or two, I would think. It depends on how long it took to, to get that, you know, all process, take, starting with taking the blood, right? Yeah, I can't find anywhere in a story, which says it took us blood. Yeah. Why would you do that? Well, you know, when you said steam, they did. Initially, the description was, he seemed, to be on some kind of drug

or medication, and they really weren't focusing, they didn't seem to be focused on alcohol to begin with, you know, but, um, here it is. No alcohol, breathalyzer, test register, zero, uh, zero. No drug test results would refuse to submit to your analysis test, meaning

“there was no official. Okay. That's not a quality report to identify specific drugs. Yeah.”

Signs of impairment, police described him as lethargic and showing signs of impairment, leading to charges of driving under the influence, alleged medication, sources cited in reports, suggested he may have been taking prescription drugs, but nowhere have I seen that he was, he was blood tested, he would assume that would be a normal procedure after that. I would, I would think soon. We are run, I radio. This morning's USDA

farm report is brought to you by house products tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. Making him the centerpiece of your Easter dinner this year, USDA food safety expert Meredith Carothers says food safety wise, they are tricky, as you have both uncooked and fully cooked pounds, so she recommends. Following any manufacturer instruction, the instructions that are on the package of the handy bite,

checking to confirm on the label does it safely cooked, or does it say something like ready to cook? If it says something like ready to cook, then that means it needs to be cooked, or it has to be fully heated through before you can eat it safely. Use of a food thermometer is recommended, but what should the proper turtle cooking temperature be for him? It depends, according to Carothers. Fresh ham should be cooked at

145 degrees Fahrenheit for safe cooking, fully cooked ham with USDA mark of inspection should be cooked to an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. More food safety tips are available through USDA's METEMPULTRI Hotline, 1, 888, MP Hotline. I'm Rod Bay and reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC. This report brought to you by Senex fuels and loops, coming up more with Gary Mac Demerra and Eric Carley. It's Rod I Radio.

We're Rod I Radio. He's our protein. I'm Gary Mac Demerra. Welcome in good morning.

blood test, but you can't refuse anything in the state of Florida. It's a separate

“charge completely outside the DUI. It's a criminal charge refusal now. New law passed last”

October. You just lost your license. Now refusal is considered a separate criminal misdemeanor, not just an administrative penalty. The license suspension, automatic one-year suspension of his driver's license, jail time up to 60 days for the refusal in addition to any penalties from the DUI charge itself. I didn't see where they threw any traffic violations on him because they said he was driving 90 in a 45. The way he was driving, that could be considered reckless driving.

Yeah, there was something related to that I forget what it was.

Yeah, so a property damage you have for that trailer, that he clip. Yeah, but yeah, not a good thing. That's Red Eye Radio Live. That re-night on the Red Eye Radio App. Have it all in the app store. Red, I radio. We are Red Eye Radio on Gary Mac Demerra, along with Eric Harley. Just a couple more comments on the whole Tiger Wood situation coming up in just a minute and a half. You know, traveling Gary,

sometimes can take its toll on the bodies, sitting in those small seats on the airplane,

and everything else. Then being at a trade show, but I noticed after taking relief factor,

I didn't have any issues going to the trade show recently. When it comes to supplements, there are two things that matter most. It works and you can trust it with relief factor. You can trust it. So many radio hosts are talking about it and have been endorsing it for over a decade now. And I'm telling you, it works for me. I wouldn't be endorsing it if it didn't. And it works. Dr. Nixon, who formulated relief factor, came home from Vietnam wounded.

And at that point, decided to study medicine. And that led to developing relief factor because his entire mission is to help people. 100% drug free. You've got to try relief factor. I want this for you. And the three week quick start is real simple. Let's get that done. 1995. That's all it is. The three week quick start relief factor.com or call 800-4 relief. Relieffactor.com or call 800-4 relief. Use red eye at the drop-down for your three week quick start

at 1995. Yes. So when you look at Tiger Woods, he is facing that set of criminal charge, which is pretty slam dunk. I don't know how you get out of that if you refuse.

“Yeah. If it's a refusal, then it's, I think, kind of automatic. There's nobody that can to”

contest that. And that would seem to be one where any DA would not want to plea bargain on that. Well, you know, I was telling you during the break. But one time that I was almost on a jury, they brought us in and it was here in Texas. But it's a similar type of situation where the guy was losing his driver license in Texas. It's not driver's license. Driver license because of refusal. And his lawyer was making the case. They didn't prove he was

intoxicated and we don't and I thought to myself, well, are they trying to challenge the law, right? Because he's being punished for refusal. And so at that point, I don't know if the law has changed since then, this goes back a ways, maybe 15 years, 20 years. And so we went to a break or we went to a lunch break and came back and they had made a plea deal. I don't know what worked out, but they made a plea deal. And so that's where I learned, yeah, there is, in our state, there is that

punishment for refusal, assuming that's still the law here in Texas. And that is one of the charges against Tiger. And you know, a lot of people asking somebody wrote their article, I didn't get to read it.

“Why doesn't Tiger get a driver? Why wouldn't you have a driver? Did you see the New York Post story?”

That source is telling the New York Post that he doesn't want a driver because he doesn't want

if he's a knee-braided, they didn't want. Oh, okay. And I'm thinking to myself, you don't need to take it on a witness. But you don't need to take an Uber. You can have a, you can have a driver who you

“pay and have a contract with. No, I think that's what I was thinking. Yeah, that this is going to be an”

employee. And you sign a non-disclosure like a lot of its celebrity employees have to sign a non-disclosure

agreement. And you would have to do that. That's, in my mind, it was always somebody who was going to be

full-time driver for him. Look, he's had two, it's just two or three accidents now. Well, the one he was asleep. Right. Right. The one he was asleep. Right. And that's when he had five drugs in his system. He had, uh, vikin' in, a pain killer, uh, the Xanx, uh, what is it? Ambien and T, anti-HC. Wow. So he had five drugs in his system, you know, at, at that, uh, that, that point. Look, I, I don't know what the situation is now. But he's had a drug problem. You've seen that his girlfriend Vanessa Trump is, you know,

“said he, you know, better get him, you know, better get his blank together. Yeah. And his X-wife,”

the, the same thing. Yeah. Uh, you know what, what is it? And this is, you know, what, what I fear is that

he's hooked on these things. And I say that because, when everyone was going 90 miles an hour, as we know, reckless driving, caused property damage. There's a bunch of charges there. Yeah. Uh, you know, that, that, that he is, his facing, I was in an accident once. We're, and, and I didn't see it. I was, you know, crossing the intersection. I was only, I was 17 at the time. And I was crossing an intersection. And when I was, I, the sun was setting. I didn't

see the motorcycle. And I went through the intersection and the motorcycle hit like right where my back tire is. With a back tire is hit it. I remember I could see in my rear view on my side view mirror

“that guy flying over the car. Oh. But I will never forget the one thing I'll, I've never”

forgotten. And it's terrifying is the sound of, first of all, the guy flying through the air.

Thank goodness. It was just a broken ankle. Yeah. They couldn't, so it was just a broken ankle. He wasn't hurt, you know, except for that. But it's metal on metal when you hear that sound. And even when I flipped once in a racing car, it's not the same because here, I think you're in that moment. But hearing that sound of metal to me, metal hitting metal is absolutely terrifying. And it's such a terrifying experience. I just, and what he went through, remember the last accident.

Remember the last accident? Yeah. It was severely harsh. That was, and you know, you think about his, his injuries the surgeries had. And we've heard the stories from countless individuals that get on pain killers as a result of recuperating from those surgeries and accidents and sports injuries. And they, they just can't get off of it. They, they, they, they, in fact, Brett Farve said at one point he was taking dozens of pain pills a day. You know, and so

but something has to be done. This, this can't go on. He's, he can't get behind the wheel. No, nobody should be behind the wheel in this situation. Well, he won't be allowed to legally for a while. Nope. You know, and he's, he's got the DUI charge against him and, and the thing is, is that, you know, the, the field test, and I don't know how extensive that field test was, but the officer's discretion of looking at he's clearly, I mean, you see his mugshot at the very least.

And that was, it's a, it's a photo. So, you know, to be intellectually honest, as I said, he looks sleepy. He looks, but they can, if you are especially drowsy and sleepy behind the wheel, that's dangerous. Oh, yeah. And so I don't know in different states how the DUI applies, but an officer has the right to say, you're not, in, in no condition to drive. In fact,

radically, and, and you're pulling over, you, and then you tell them you just got bad news about a

“family member or something. They'll, they'll suggest that, look, let's, can somebody come get you,”

you shouldn't be behind the wheel, and, and this mental state, because, you know, it may not be safe. Now, may not be a charge against you, but the officer does have discretion here, and in case like this, where it's clear, he was not able to control his vehicle, driving radically. And of course, now the pattern of behavior, I'm not sure if the officer on the scene was familiar with that. I assume you, he was. Well, you can still be found guilty. I mean, you know, I've had red. Well, it's tougher.

Here's my question. Does not taking, it's a separate criminal charge. But what I wonder in the state of Florida, does that criminal charge at all indicate guilt of a DUI, or are they separate completely, where you can't use one against the, you know, the other? Is it like taking the, the, the fifth except you, you, you, uh, you can't take the, you, you can't take the, uh, the fifth when it comes to refusal. And I, I just don't know. I don't know whether, because that's, when you think about it, driving,

and, you know, is a, is a unique activity outside of anything else, where if you, you can be completely, you can be completely and totally sober. You can have not one drug in your system. If you refuse the breathalizer, the urine test, the blood test in the state of Florida, your guilty of a criminal offense. It's not. Yeah. And administrative offense, that's a criminal offense. Okay. So what they're saying here, at least, uh, from one source is that refusal itself. And this is what I was

thinking, can't, at the very least, be used against you and court as evidence of guilt. So if you're refusing, that goes toward your, along with the, uh, observations of the officer on the scene, whether they did a, oh, so it can be used. Okay. Well, it can be used. It's not an automatic,

“but it can be used in court to say is refusal. Well, that's what I'm adding. Yeah. It can be used”

in court as court to, to make your case. Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. So that's, that sounds logical. Because if you have, if, you know, he's, he refused. Yeah. Um, can you bring up a pattern because he's been pulled over before? With trucks in a system. Well, repeat, uh, fender, you know, and, and it depends on, again, the truck that they're talking about. Can you bring it up to the jury is my, is my question, know that it can't be used. When it, you know, in, in a, in sentencing, can you bring it up to the jury? Well,

it doesn't, if sentencing is something like this. How the law can apply in so many different ways. Well, in many states, if not all, there is a harsher sentence for repeat offenders on. Right. Why? So right, it would make sense that yes, you could bring that up and say this is, uh, this is his

third offense or whatever it may be. In the sentencing phase, can you bring it up in the, in the,

“in the trial phase would be my point. Yeah. That's what I, I do in the trial. Okay. Right.”

Aside from sentencing. Right. Okay. Which is maybe, which is, I don't know. Um, but you can be found guilty of DUI by an officer's observation. And now, yeah, that they've got cameras. They can watch you walking. They can watch what you're doing. They can watch you being questioned and everything else. And you take the totality into it. Now, it's not the same as having the slam dunk, breathalizer. Right. But breathalizers can be again challenged. Right. Blood test. It's hard

to challenge a blood test. Right. Uh, you can look at I, uh, I know that in, in, uh, for example, you've got to have, um, the breathalizer calibrated. It's not calibrated. And it's not calibrated. The way that it's supposed to be if it's not calibrated correctly. Right. Or, or if you haven't got it tested to make sure it's, uh, uh, calibrated correctly. Even if it is, if you haven't tested it, that can be thrown out. Right. But you can still be found guilty based on the

totality of the evidence that the officer requires outside of any type of scientific evidence. Right. And so in this case, he could be in deep trouble. Yeah. I mean, he's got, he will have a

criminal record because the second, a misdemeanor is a criminal record. It's not administrative.

It's not a violation. It's not like a traffic ticket. Right. Do they still have that? I don't even know. Do they in states do they have it, where they can lower it to the point of just being a

to do it. We're, we're wasn't, wasn't a misdemeanor, a venture would be called a violation. Right.

“I don't know if they still do that at all, because they, so many states have gotten so top on it.”

Yeah. Right. Yeah. I was going to say it's going in the opposite, the, the other direction, where they're getting top of it. Yeah. Yeah. Jeez. You're a billionaire.

Higher somebody to drive you. Lucky you didn't kill somebody. That's, that's a big deal,

because there's, and, and if you look at that road, I mean, it didn't look like to be a, a very wide

“road, and yeah, that's, man, that could have gone much worse. We are right, I radio.”

Yeah, too much. With what I radio, toll free at 866. Thank you, Red Eye.

We're, when I radio, and he's early, and I'm very McNamara. Why is this even, I, I got to

bring this up because this is a story, Fox said, midnight goodbye while leaving a dinner in the heartland can take hours, about the difference of people living in the Midwest, saying goodbye

“takes longer than other places. Like, when you have a holiday dinner in your war, you're, you get”

ready to leave, and it's like, okay, I got to, going to be a half hour before I get out of here, that it takes longer than the Midwest. There's more, like a dinner party, you know, like, Christmas party, whatever you have, whatever you're having at your house, it takes longer for people in the Midwest to say goodbye. Like, I, I don't know, who cares? Yeah. Usually it's like, what happened to Eric? I don't know. Let's see if it's here. Well, I just do the Irish goodbye.

Right, where you don't say anything, you just disappear. Yeah. Or the Scottish goodbye when I say, "Ah, you people are crap!" This, see his red eye, radio, on Westwood 1. The Dan Bonchino show. Damn, I missed you all. I've got so much content, bottle of my head. I got a lot of stuff. This is the kind of stuff. It's real.

May not hear this anywhere else. Hard truths. There's a lot of stuff to talk about, that you think is going to open a lot of eyes, and a lot of ignorance is 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 this year all welcome.
