Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley, talk about everythin...
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 when I radio. He is here at Cronin. I'm Gary McNamara. How long have we been saying that we approach, you know, every Friday and say, "What will it be like a week from now? How far will the insanity go?"
It seems like it's been most of our time together nearly 21 years, and it's always
the left always tops themselves. You know, we have, there are discussions and debates that go on on the right, if you want to call it the Republican right, the Republican populist, the Republican conservative, the libertarian. Most of the arguments are based, and some of the, I think, fiercest arguments probably would be right now the populist version of how economics works versus
the free markets, and that's a debate. But that's a debate that's gone on since the beginning of this country. It's the same debate that goes on. If you look at the right with the populist
“versus, if you want to go to the populist on one side, which is, well, we like government”
to do the things that we want them to do, and the libertarian, and then you got to hold, you know, scale in the middle of conservatives, whatever the libertarian, well, what should be the true libertarian, yeah, who says, no, the federal government shouldn't be involved, you know, in any of the state governments of local governments want to do it, you want to get closer to the people, which is the entire concept of liberal, you
know, being a libertarian, is that is, I think the focus should be more on not government, but the federal government get the federal government under control, and then you can work on the local and state governments, but they're closer to the people. Yeah, you know, we've seen a New York city, for example, with a mendedani, and we'll get to that. We got to get to that before this hour ends, where the city council, I mean, it's going, the
New York Post was hilarious to read yesterday on what's going on there, where you actually heard the socialist are going crazy against the socialist, yeah, because when you actually are in a city, you can't borrow. Right. Right. You do bond issues, but you can't borrow. Right. It's not the same thing. You've got to balance it. Socialism is great on a federal level where you can borrow endless amounts of money to your society collapses. Right. Right.
You can't do that. And so even the socialist in New York City are like, we can't do that. You can't, you're going to lose the people. The socialist are actually coming around in New York City to understand that if you tax people, they can leave. Yeah. And if they leave, you don't have a tax base. Right. And then it goes after the middle class, and you claim you care about the middle class. And it's like, we can't, we can't win that
way, but, but on the left, it's gone to pure insanity. Roman manuals been out there. He was out there again yesterday saying, you know, talking about the fact of, we're getting
killed in our schools, basically the, the, the government schools aren't working. Right.
“They're not working. And he talked, talked about California. Yeah. I think it was just”
right of the day before, it's talking about California. This is Roman manual. Obama's chief of staff. Yep. And he goes in there talking about men's genitals and girls locker rooms. And right, this is what they're, the focus is on identity politics and taking courses out because they may be too hard. Right. And it's not about education. Right. All. And so they even see it, but the far left is going crazy. And the perfect example is what was going on
in Canada this week, where the, and the NDP, which is the, the most liberal, uh, wacko party of, of Canada, uh, they were holding their leadership convention. And the, uh, the woman
who was up at the podium, by the way, I, I never said it, but it was on social media. I, I thought
it for, I didn't, I said, boy, she looked, she looks, excuse me. They, they them looked up because remember that she said, you. Right. You. Yeah. Someone was going crazy about the
War in Iraq.
I'm a, they them. Yeah. But she's got a Hitler haircut. Oh, wow. Okay. He has a Hitler,
“wow, haircut. So it's just, but, uh, some of the audio that came out of there was just”
amazing because what they were doing is they were, they handed out equity, equity cards, gender
equity, race equity. I don't know what other equity that they threw in, where if you had a certain color card, you had more of a privilege to talk over, well, I guess the worst would be a white male. Well, in the case of me, I would argue age equity because I've got less time than younger people. Uh, uh, which means I should move to the top of the line. Yes, clearly. But, uh, here, here are some of the audio from, this is from Canada. They're far left party. Here we go.
There's a point of privilege on microphone one, then we'll go to microphone three. Go ahead, do a get. Yes. Hello. I, I was standing here with my gender equity card before you called on the previous
speaker. That's my point of privilege. I would like to. I will explain this speaking order, which is fixed
that I cannot amend, which is the pro con rotation. You can move yourself up a line that you're standing on. I am pro. And I, I was, we went, um, you went pro. We went pro, pro. And my plan was to go con. The speaker, a con, my three also has a speaking card. Yes, today, this card was used in an inappropriate matter. And while I understand, in Ontario, we know this is equity. Even if that, this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender. I want everyone to be mindful that these cards
for individuals like myself, who identify as a black woman, have no value outside of this space.
“Yeah, when you get into reality, it hasn't. It doesn't work that way. But here's more, right?”
All right, here's all right, let's go. Point, let's hear the point on microphone one. I'm sorry, just real quick, point of personal privilege. I understand there's very little time and for for delegates to speak, but early on the mic, it's hard as a racialized and transgender delegate to sometimes use this card and speak up, speak to somebody in front of me in line and ask, hey, this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of my lived experience. I'd like to
speak. I was rejected when I talked. And it's frustrating when these are my rights being directly under attack right now in Alberta and that the assistant or woman had spoken over me. And I understand her rights are important to this pertains to her too, but I don't know. I hope that in the future, the federal NDP will also have a broader interpretation of the equity cards for speakers. That's all. Thank you. I will invite delegates to assist me in better using the card
by forming a straight line behind. Now, we had a stop there because we believe she caught herself because she said the word straight. Yeah, we believe that. And yesterday, we were kind,
it was almost like we thought, well, well, because the first time I heard it, I thought,
been a minute, is she about to laugh? I'm not looking at the video. You're looking at it. She's not laughing. Yeah, she's not laughing. Oh, this is serious. And in my mind, I thought was she going to say, well, we don't say, was she going to correct herself? Yeah. I clearly after about a half a second was she about to kind of giggle about straight. And then it was no, no, no, she sounds like she wants to apologize for using the word straight. That's
that's very serious. That's a fence that she committed. Let's finish this here. Here we are, all right. And the microphone with a prominently displayed equity card. If I see speakers ahead of you who are not holding a card prominently, it would be wrong with me to guess about their gender identity. And I will come to you, this applies so far, according to your rules, for gender, identities other than a dude, but it is open to us to change our rules as we like, as we move forward.
So men are dudes and the card prevents a man from speaking in front of you. This is where that this is where they've gone in Canada, pure insanity. What I wanted to tell you, my not the kempf, the whole studio, the master, by the way, laptop, software, the internet, and so master, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry, you can't say that. You're a story. You're a story,
“but you don't understand. No, it's not. No, it's just a misunderstanding. Do you want to tell me?”
Do you want to tell me how this story works? And when you then go, you're going to see it.
That's right.
Now, you're going to be a newsman. Hey, there. I'm Paula Penn. I hope people make this smartest money decisions possible. You're not ever worried about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes
“moot. What matters from that point forward? Upside games. Any type of ownership stake or ownership”
potential. That's the money. Remember, you can afford anything, just not everything. afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Again, Jonathan Turley wrote on this. He goes, House of cards. How equity cards collapsed at Canadian NDP convention. The recent convention of the Canadian New Democratic Party became a microcosm of the insanity of identity politics found in forms ranging from politics to higher education. Participants were given
familiar equity cards as literal card carrying members of groups demanding preferred treatment.
The problem is when one identity group demands preference over another. The result as seen in
Winnipeg was calamity and quickly became comedy. Many in education have long pushed equity cards and identity markers. This is, again, when we talk about that the left and here in the United States, the Democrats have instituted racism. This is what we're talking about. This is what identity politics has done. And this is to the extent that it goes. But the many in education have long pushed equity cards and identity markers to get students
to define themselves by their race, disability, gender, or other criteria. Even computer science
“teachers are told to tailor their lessons to identity markers. Such markers are treated as essential”
to creating identity-safe classrooms. There are even DEI games where children are encouraged to match their identity groups. At the NDP convention, people were given equity cards to give
preference to certain identities over groups such as males or whites. The problem is that the
cards created an entitlement that can clash with other claims to speak first as you saw. The cards were based on identity categories, including gender race, ethnicity, LGBTQ+ status, and indigenous status. You were supposed to be able to jump ahead of others because of your priority identity based on the color of your card. One video shows a person holding up their green, gender equity card to claim the right to speak first as another woman waves her pink race equity
card to speak. What follows were objections to people not yielding to those with greater priority or a right to speak with one noting that cards for people who identify as a black woman have no value outside of the space. Then there was a speaker who called on another delegate but the send of misgendering the speaker who identified as non-binary. The collapse of the equity house of cards is due to the inherent myth that identity politics produces equity. It is in fact
a separate system of privilege and entitlement. It's racism. It's racism and sexism. Yes. And misogyny, you name it. It's all of it. It is used to marginalize other voices in the name of amplifying other voices. The greatest impact is to Balkanize a population or party rather than emphasize their common identities, which is we don't care what you are. We're here because we share the same philosophy of our society should be run. That's right. And we can debate the
philosophy if we have differences based on the ideas that govern our society. They cannot get away from this. It's this really is the obsession grows and why does the obsession grow? Well, it was
always going to because more and more you have you're creating more and more subgroups. That has not
“stopped. Remember back when Facebook said there was only 58 genders? Remember they had that? It was”
like 58 genders. It has to be in the hundreds. If not thousands now. Remember Biden? Yeah. Man, he was on the road. Campaign trail 2020. Someone asked just out loud and blurted the question. Hey, Joe, how many genders are there? And he goes three. We're like, oh, that's going to cost you. And those are the things that you, you know, this is so when you look at that, you listen to this utter nonsense. By the way, this is happening in Canada. This is not something that isn't happening
Here.
direction and the Democratic party is the far left. If you're voting that way, you're on board with all of this. This is where they are. And they have to obsess about this, which means they're not going to focus on anything else and somehow they're still winning some elections. What I found interesting yesterday was because, you know, we had the Artemis to take off and one of the things
that we've always talked about are, you know, the difference between the private sector and government.
The private sector has to be as close to 100 percent right as humans can get. Otherwise, there are consequences. There are no consequences in government. There's no consequences on the left. This was written. This was in response to Jonathan Trolley. I don't know who this guy is,
“just a regular guy who responded. And I think it's right on the button. It takes an exceptionally”
advanced and declining society for people this absurd to be protected enough to exist. They could not do so in a culture that required they add or produce something of value. But in this
safe space created by the work of others, they can play performative games and act important.
They are not. I thought that was wonderful. No, that's a, I think that's so, that's precision right there. Yep. In hitting every single point. Guy's name is Jame Hans and I don't know who he is. He was responding. I think it was President of World Strat Chief Strategist for Middle East Forum and Former Special Forces Weapons Guy, author of multiple, author of multiple books. I thought that was, you know, because you have a society we've talked and you can actually
“take the same thing with the private sector and government. Government doesn't have to be right on anything.”
Government can name, you couldn't get away with this in the private sector, the inflation reduction act and made inflation worse. Yeah. Right. They come up with names of the opposite of the intent and deceive the people. You could get away with, you did in the private sector. You'd be sued. Oh, yeah. The government would go back. You'd be gone. The government, you might go to jail. No accountability. But in these places, there's no accountability. They don't get things done.
They're not productive. Nope. Nope. We are Red Eye Radio. Brought to you by FPPF fuel power max. Surviving a thriving as an odor operator has just as much to do with managing costs as it does with generating revenue, understanding basic principles of operating costs can save you thousands
“of dollars a year. Costs are not the same each month. If 96% of miles are driven one month”
and 10,000 miles the next, two different sets of costs apply for each month. For example, if your tractor payment is 1,850 dollars per month and you drive 96% of miles in the month, your tractor payment is costing you 19.3 cents per mile. Drive 10,000 miles, though, and that same payment will cost you 18.5 cents per mile. This is one of your major fixed costs while paying off a truck loan. The difference in this example is only a fraction of a cent,
which may seem like small change, but it ultimately amounts to $960 more annually on the bottom line,
because though fixed costs do not go down over time, you can reduce your cost per mile with more paid miles. Owner Operator Business 101 is provided by Overdrive Partners in Business Program.

Rotella radio with every currently and Gary McNamara. We're when I'm radio, he is here at Crony and I'm Gary McNamara. What, what do you got reading here? The house is primed to end the record breaking Homeland Security shutdown, but Republicans are still fuming over a blank S-H word sandwich deal from the Senate. The Senate again advances partial department of Homeland Security funding bill on Thursday after being derailed by a House GOP rebellion, the frustration among
House Republicans hasn't gone anywhere, however, with lawmakers railing against House Speaker Mike Johnson during the members only call on Thursday afternoon. That's where Johnson came out and said,
Well, he's an agreement to move forward with the Senate bill.
did he? Why didn't they communicate last week if he's got the votes in the house?
Well, apparently he didn't communicate with his own house. Why don't they whip before they
“announce something? Didn't want to know that you should get it done before you say anything.”
I don't know why they don't do that. You're listening to Red Eyed Radio from the Relief Bacter Studio. And I'm Gary McNamara, along with Eric Harley, welcome and good morning. I think this, I think we should play what I think should be our audio cut of the week. Okay. All right. All right. Let's hear it. You ready? Yeah, let's play it.
Came from the no kings protest. Okay. You know the one I'm talking about. Yeah. I do. I do. A reporter asking one of the participants making a statement and asking a question. Yeah. Here we go. To see how smart they are. Isn't it a little bit homophobic that was so focused on the straights of homoes and not the gaze of homoes. Yes, I agree. Yes, for sure. Why do you think
“they're willing to leave the gaze of homoes behind? I think it's just a history historically,”
you know, gaze have always been very discriminated against, which is wrong and so many levels.
Even in war. Yeah, even in war, it just takes more reform in government, obviously, and then also educating society. I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, I've been telling y'all for a long time. We're doomed. We are doomed. Wow. I think you put it in another way. We are so doomed. We're so doomed. That's one of those words. So doomed. I may not even realize how doomed we are based on that.
“Because remember when Jay Leno used to go out and find stupid people. Oh, yeah. I forgot the one”
that he did. Because I remember, I actually met the two women. And I can't remember, I can't remember it was one of the inaugurations of Bush or whether it was at the Philadelphia Convention. But I remember seeing the two women being interviewed. Yeah. I was there. And then the next day, I saw it on TV and went, "Well, I know them!" I mean, I see them. I knew there were cameras around them. Right. And I'm assuming that was the tonight show that at the point, we're interviewed them.
And I forgot what the questions were, but they were completely clueless. They were just clueless. All right. So this appears in the New York Post. Okay. Dictator, Mundani has even his far-left New York City Council allies seen red, quote, "He's flailing." End of quote. Even the reds are seen red.
Is the first line of the story. I love it. Mayor Mundani has successfully in at least one thing
during his fresh-faced administration. In theory, in theory, in every body, including his typically ride or die lefty buds over his bald-faced lie that the City Council's budget plan cut services. Peaved City Council members roundly ripped. Mundani, after he used one of his slick social media videos Wednesday to call out the speaker, Julie Menon by name, and wrongly portray her budget proposal, an alternative to his doomsday version as slashing billions of dollars from city agencies.
Quote, "This is deeply misleading and potentially harmful. I thought these four years were going to be different," said Councilman Kevin Riley, a Democrat from the Bronx, and obviously disappointed Mundani Bakker posted on X. What do we have to say to Mr. Riley? What do you think socialist
Do?
That said, they were going to vote for Mundani, but also believed his policies wouldn't work. Huh? Councilwoman Virginia Maloney, a Democrat from Manhattan, also served up a blistering online rebuttal of Mundani's assertions. Quote, "I know, math is hard, but the New York City Council financed him to the work, digging into the details to find real solutions. The mayor's
proposed city budget is a whopping $127 billion. The city's not broke, we're just badly managed,
and we can balance this budget responsibly without putting our long-term fiscal health at risk."
“So what they're talking about is, what Mundani promised that they agreed with and voted for him?”
Yeah. Now they're not in agreement with. No, he said he was going to do these things, and you knew that there was the math there. Did they have it in their mind that, I just don't know, because I don't know how to put it up on a board, right? That, that, oh, he's just saying these extreme things to get elected, which doesn't make sense, and he won't do them, or he's saying things and somehow magically he'll find the money
to get it done. I don't, I don't know. Well, when he was asked over and over again,
“how you're going to get the money, the hoax is not going to help you. We'll do the program”
then we'll worry about the money later on. Yeah. Right. And he didn't say, well, we can find the waste in an efficiencies in government, and we can still balance his budget and do a ton of things. As they write here in the near post, the furious backlash led the thin skin to mayor
to then fire off earth texts to a council member complaining about the critical social media post,
sources said a source said Maloney's post appeared to prom his Texans spree claiming that Virginia Maloney tweet really got under their skin. One source said, even the socialist aren't backing the mayor. He's clearly in over his head. The speaker's press conference about the alternative budget wasn't really attacking him, and then he instantly puts out a tweet and then drops a video of him sitting behind that desk like a dictator. The source told the New York Post.
Yeah. He's he's he's he's lost a council insider added of Mundani. He's lost the council. He's flailing. He even texted one member to complain about their tweets. It's a lie. It's a lie. The insider said about Mundani's head scratching contention that the city council would slash city services. Wow. The finding all erupted as the city council leader in city council members
released their official response earlier to Wednesday, Wednesday to Mundani's $127 billion proposed
2027 budget. Their alternative spending plan argued that Mundani's projected $5.4 billion budget shortfall could be bridged with a mix of re-estimated revenues savings and creative funding sources and without resorting to the mayor's preferred method of taxing the rich.
“All right. So I think part of what we're seeing here play out is that when you're a communist”
and you're elected, you yourself go into dictator mode. But what does that mean? It means the city council may be thrown under the proverbial free bus. Remember, it's a free bus because it promise that. And they're so so things get thrown their way and they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, don't blame us for this because they have to also answer to their constituents. And he's the so-called Rockstar communist dictator. You know, he's not a technically a dictator,
but I mean in his mind, he's running the show. And the whole idea is that if you need to throw them,
You know, look, no.
I wonder how many of them as you go through this believed, well, look, this guy has a trajectory here that is undeniable and it looks like he's going to win. Let's get behind him and we'll work everything out later and then you realize, oh my gosh, no, he's going full on comedy. And we can't go full on comedy because there's no way to pay for it. You and I looked at it with his connections
“in with state lawmakers in New York. They, he, I think believes that he's got, you know,”
those connections will leverage him to get pressure put on hockle to do, you know, whatever it is.
But she's looking at this conundrum going on on a second. You know, I also have a political future
and I have to answer to this. So there's that back and forth. That dynamic was in play very early on. I think what also was happening, I do think, you know, there's been so many stories out there is this a tipping point. Right. Right. We've seen it in the, in the, the census. Yeah. It was a 56,000 people left LA County. It was, yeah, the most ever. Uh, and we see the money that's starting to move now. We see California doing it. We see that, you know, New York. And I think even
the council members, look at this and say, you wanted to, you want to put a corporate tax on,
you want a billionaires tax. You're saying if you don't get that, you're going to put a,
they was a 9% increase in property tax, which as we know already Democrats are, because if there's a protest in New York about taxes, like we've, we've seen their Democrats, right, because what I
“ate out of 10, maybe are. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And, and so I, I think you've reached that tipping point,”
the whole. Now realizes. Yeah. We compete now against other, we're losing money. Remember, they laughed at Cuomo when he said that. Oh, yeah. And he had a back off on saying, I can't support this millionaires tax. I have to live in the real world. He backed off on it. And now,
locals in the same position. But I think there's a ton of people on the city council saying,
because they know they know the tax base they've lost, the estimates that they're getting the estimates from their own people saying, we're losing this and we're losing this and we're losing this, and we're losing this. We, and it's not, it's what we have said. It's why liberals when they have the ability to win any state have free healthcare for everyone 100% paid as they claim that they want, they won't do it at the state level. Right. They only want to do it at the federal level,
because then they can borrow from their children. Yep. They're great. They're grandchildren. They're great grandchildren. And they're great, great, great, great, great grandchildren to pay for what they want. Now, they don't want to pay for what they want right now. And in New York, city, the city council, I think they realize, locals realized it. She's been public on it. Oh, yeah. They're at the tip of the point. Yeah. They are. They cannot lose the billionaires. The billionaires. I saw one guy
at the no kings in New York when reporter S1 guy. The top 1% pay 40% but if they move, make it illegal to move, find them if they move, confiscate their businesses if they move. That was the answer. Right. Yes. You can't do that in the United States. You can't. You can't. But this is what they're talking pure communism is the response even from people on the streets. Well, in the real world, communism isn't going to work in New York City. It's not going to work in New York
state. It's not going to work in a country that has a constitution where free markets and the bill of rights still exist to the level where it does not even in other democracies. Right. And you're going to have a problem when there's competition between the states. Yep. And you're going to lose people. And the people will be that will be left are the people that aren't productive. They'll be all the people from the NDP in Canada. Yeah. They can't be productive. They can't make
“you a profit of that. That's what will be your left. And that's what's going to be left. And you're”
going to need to take care of them. Right. And there's not going to be any money to do that. And those and New York City within the state. They're they're seeing it already. The state sees it hopeful knows it. But you'll see it more and more and more and their revenue is going to keep dropping.
We are right.
We are right. I radio. He's our currently non-gerry McNamara. So the city council, one of the sources
“inside the city council is calling Memdani a dictator. No dictators. No dictators. Which they have”
that rally. But what you have here because also in the article they talked about the fact that
the democratic socialist of America, Memdani's allies are attacking the city council. So now you've
got the communist attacking the socialist and the socialist attacking the communist in New York City.
“Identity politics at work. Right. Yeah. So who's the oppressor? Yeah. Who's the oppressor in New York”
City now? Right. The dictator communist or the socialist of the city council. Right. I say we have
a protest. I don't know who shows up this weekend, but I want to see no dictators. That's right. This. He is red. I radio. On Westwood One. Hi. I'm Joseph.
