04-23-26 Part One - The View's Math Isn't Mathing

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 runnin' radio, he is here at Crowley and I'm Gary McNamara, you're ready for my favorite audio? All right, let's go to the view. All right, now let's know what, listen to what Sunny has to say, all right, Sunny. Ever since I saw this audio cut yesterday, I can't get that song out of my mind and it's driving me crazy. All right, here

we go, all right, all right, all right. You know, I just read that this war is estimated to have

already cost us $50 billion. $50 billion, which is more money than this country has spent

since World War II. I'm sorry, what? It's more money? Yes, more money than this country has spent since World War II. Oh my, is it ignorance really is bliss? $50 billion, huh? Yeah, $50 billion is bliss. So we haven't even reached the trillions yet? No, no, no. I was mistaken, I guess. We haven't reached the hundreds of billions yet. I guess I was mistaken. Did we, all of us who are concerned

about the national debt just inadvertently put in too many zeros, Gary? This blows my,

“you know, you remember it goes back what 15 years ago where I was swimming in my pool and”

I said, let's simplify it. Let's simplify, you know, the situation that we're in may, may be me taking eight zeros off of everything in order to simplify it because what I said

was, and again, I don't know how the figures right here. What we were, I was always looking

for a way to simplify and within 30 seconds give people an idea of where we are with the budget. Yeah, you know, and, and I would say, right now we have a, it would be like somebody who makes roughly, because I haven't looked at the numbers here in the last six months that that makes $45 to $50,000 a year is going to spend $74,000 next year. All right, that person has roughly $370,000 in credit card debt on a $45 to $50,000, you know, job. I just

had gross income, I guess I would say on that one and just to gross income. It would, it would

be, and they have obligations over the next 10 years of one to $2 million. Yeah. And,

and so we did that to simplify it to show that anybody was in that situation, you'd file bankruptcy right now. You're, you're done. You can't, you, there's no way you can handle that kind of, of, of debt. But when she said 50 billion, I'm like, oh, maybe me taking the eight zeros off was actually accurate because we have spent less than $50 billion as a country since World War II. Look, Elon Musk spent more for Twitter. Exactly. So all of our

problems are solved. Right. Maybe Obama was right. The national debt isn't a problem. Because we were wrong on the numbers all along, according to Sunny on the view. I just imagine going into a serious conversation with real political wants, you know, you're on a panel or something and go, well, no, I just heard today that, no, it's, it's much less. Well, what, it's, yeah, where, what was your source? Sunny on the view. What, but wait a minute. Yeah. That's as good as

the New York Times. That's as good as a Washington Post. Why not? Why not? I mean, the view airs every day ABC keeps it on the air for a reason. We don't know what reason. I mean, they're

“getting viewers apparently, or is it a cold bear thing? Have they been losing money, too?”

I mean, I know called bear CVS, but man, I just would love to get in and look at that. That's a great point. If, uh, if Cobra is exiting stage left and, and he's losing what? Do you losing 40 million a year? Was it 20 to 40 million something like that? Yeah, 20 to 40 million a million a year? Yeah. How? How do you stay on the other one? How do you let the late night show? By the way, there's nothing good on the air. Late night. Our boss tells us before the show every

putting on some type of comedy show. No, they're not. No. What they're doing is they're basically

it's, uh, Byron Allen's company, right? Yeah. There. Yeah. And what, what a success. Man, what a success story he is. Oh, man, you could just just take that and set it aside. The Byron Allen story is unbelievable. You know, he's, he's achieved unbelievable things because of his right, persistence, but it's actually paid program. Yeah, it's he's, he's, he's find that time from them. Right. And, and they've talked about that. They did say that there is a plan after

his deal is up. They're working on something to replace whatever, you know, his shows that are going to be on. I don't buy it. What, you don't buy that they're going to replace it? No,

“I don't buy that they have a plan for after his deal is just, they have a plan. Yeah. I think it's just”

a way to, to say, to say face because if, if you're doing it, no, that's a good point. Because if you're doing it now, you believe it's throwaway. You believe that time period is throwaway. Well, if you're doing it, and you, it's not like this happened overnight. It's not like Colbert came in and said, "I'm done at the end of this, this season." Right. And, and you're just learning this. They've

known this for a while. And so that's a very good point that if you're in, because we always take

it down to the meetings, right? I mean, the meetings in accounting, who's looking at the ledger at CBS going, "Oh, we got a 40 million up to a 40 million dollar deficit every year that is the Colbert show used to be Letterman's show. I don't know. I would love to go back and compare the books back in Letterman's day at CBS, and see what they were like. I don't know." But then to say, "Okay, we've got, we've got nothing because think about it. You could come in

with another comedian. Are they creating, or are they creating some kind of buffer?" Because

“if you come in with another comedian, I think late night television, that type of late night television”

talk show is limited. It's the one area where I agree with Jim and Kimmel, where he said, "Yeah, it's, look, it's dying because people just do different things late night. It's not the same thing it used to be when mom and dad would basically close down shop for the night and then before they go to sleep, turn on Carson or whatever. It's a very different dynamic and they have many other choices. And that's true. I think it is, I just think it's a kind of a dying type of

program." But I go back to the late 70s, early 80s. Again, I was paying attention to Carson, but when you think about when Letterman was Letterman and Carson and there was a big debate, you know, who the young kids watched Letterman and I remember watching Letterman and it was actually you, now again, we only had three or four TV. Well, I mean, cable existed at that time,

“but the fact is, it didn't really have much program and cable didn't have the same kind of program”

it has today. And also there wasn't stream. Yeah, a lot of movies, there wasn't streaming, a lot of infomercials, power, comedy specials. And it reruns and, you know, not cable a lot of times. I mean, I remember thinking, you know, you had MTV that was relatively new. You had, I mean, there were things out there, but still he was extremely entertaining. You know, the one, what is it, antenna TV runs Carson? Right. Yeah. You know, and it's hilarious because

I'll wake up at 10 o'clock and I'll flick it on. And I won't keep it on long, but I'll have it on just for a few minutes because of the memories that brings back. And then I, I said, they're in, say, all right, what year was this? Yeah. And I have to go and research it on my phone. Okay, he's got this guess, you know, what it's like, wow. And then some of the jokes are just corny. I mean, they're not, they're not precise like you see a lot of stand up, you know,

comics, but it's still hilarious because you don't, you didn't view it as I didn't view it as a Johnny Carson, the, the, the comedian. Right. I viewed it as, him getting together with with that and the band and just, you know, just sort of hanging out with people who came in. Right. And when, when I think about it because of his style and, and you think about, you know, that, remember, the Morton Downey Juniors came in and that kind of show whatever,

but I've always, the more I watch it, I'm like, wow, it's sort of like a sit down almost podcast,

where you just hang out with the people. It really was because it, there were, and it was, it was almost like, and it, not everybody was in Johnny's circle, you know, he had his own version of

would have a danger field would come on and, you know, whether he was in Johnny's circle or not,

it kind of seemed like he was buddy hack it. These, these types of people, Rickles, Don Rickles, you know, these people were part of a group in the same era of Hollywood and we're also very good friends, and so that kind of, you know, built that. It was almost hanging out with him. So that's a good way to put it. It was almost like a podcast. Yeah. And, and, and when I look at it, I look back at the jokes weren't that great. And you had somebody like, you know, the, the, the stick of a Don Rickles

for Ronnie Dangerfield was the same. Yeah. But it was hilarious because, I mean, they go to the couch, it was even better. Right, because of, of, of their, of their personalities out there, I, you know, you look at what it's become, you know, you see Kimmel, he's not happy. No, it's not like, it's not like, you know, he's got a grin on his face and it's like, okay, we're going to have fun tonight. You know, it's like, I've need to make political points and I need to make political points.

I need to tell you what I'm angry about. Right. And, and the same with Colbert. Yeah. I just don't view that, you know, it's, it's the same thing that you view your, you, you say that

“you're a entertainer, yet you're a political activist. Right. And I look, and that's what the brand,”

people don't buy the brand. And I've said this about, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the network news for the longest time. And, and, and whether it's, you know, any of the journalists,

any of the political activists out there, the claim that they're journalists. And I've said the first

problem that people don't understand is the fact that the brand that they're selling immediately, you know, is false. Yeah. Yeah. When they say we're fair journalists, nobody's buying it. No, they don't buy it. So the brand, the brand you're selling right at that point, forget about the substance or whether people like your personality or whether your story is, uh, the, the actual story is biased. Once you've done it for a number of years and you keep insisting, you know,

like with the Washington correspondent's dinner coming up this week. And Dan, rather, we're about journalism, shut the hell up. No, you're not. You're going to collect them. Exactly. You know, when they're putting this whole thing, and the public has recognized that, the significant portion of the public has recognized, you're not journalists, stop pretending that you are. Yeah. So the brand, right when you turn it on, the brand is false. Yeah, it is,

well, it's like you've hired a clown for your kids birthday party, and instead of juggling and making animal balloons, they just show up and complain. Which I would probably find pretty funny with the kids with. You know, it's, it's, the whole purpose of it is, is totally silent. Okay, you, you've got me now thinking of the sign fell with John Fevro with the, as it goes,

“Bozo, who's Bozo? I never heard of Bozo. You never heard of Bozo, the client, the clown?”

Yeah. You got to get yourself out of the 60s. I think that's one of, uh, her first, uh, yeah, appearances. Right. Right. Right. Right. Yes, as, as the, the client was hilarious. Yeah. But that's the first thing I thought of. You know, he wasn't a, he wasn't a good clown to be around. Yeah. Right. And, and so I mean, it was, you know, he did, the, the brand wasn't a

clown brand. And so, and, and, and I've always viewed that, that you can do a lot of different

things if you're honest with the public. If you say, here's what I am. Yeah. And for some reason, you know, whether it was, you know, the, you can look at Dan Rather, you can even look at Walter Cronkick, because Walter Cronkick admitted later on. Yeah, we were biased. We were just biased in a more subtle way. Yeah. Uh, but the, if they just came out and said, look, we're political activists, I'm here because of this. I'm not going to be fair. Yeah. You know, I'm going to give

you my opinion on it, at least you're being honest, at least you're owning it. And there is something that people will say, okay, this person's owning it. I'll listen for a while if I disagree with it, but they're being honest with me about where they stand. They're not lying to me right up front. Right. Uh, to take my clown analogy further. Uh, Damon Williams, homey the clown. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I mean, imagine in a serious tone that that actually happened in

the, because that was the, that was the funny in homey the clown is that you've hired a clown. He comes out and he's over to play that. It's like, I don't play that. Oh, man. That was brilliant. But

“that's what a brilliant comedic family. Well, the whole thing. If you think just the one show”

put that on display and it was underappreciated for the time and over the years, uh, that appreciation for the comedic brilliance in that family and people like that they hired like Jim

it a little too long, but being able to pull certain characters off, Jim Carrey actually did a very

“good job. He did a very good job on that show. But the way is my gosh, a talent just never ends.”

And it's generational. It's in the blood. They apparently can't get away from it. But I love it. So when you, when you look at him, and it's all fits in, we, we're not starting when we started this whole thing. We were talking about the White House Correspondence dinner,

but we never got to that yet this. Oh, yeah. But with that whole thing, we're about freedom on the

shot of shot of. Shut up. No, you're not set up. It's your political set for a second. And that's one of the problems. Yeah. When you look at these shows is the fact that you're lying about what you're selling up front. Yeah. I have to believe a lot of these activists and, and newsrooms are are very afraid, very afraid of the fact that people are their own fact checkers now. Of what Elon Musk said, you or the media, that people have their ability. We've been saying it

for years too in a different way. You have your ability to do your own fact checking. You don't need

Glink Kessler at the Washington Post. You don't need anything just the will to find the facts.

Well, as I said yesterday, when, when you're out that you, you think of the Southern, and we'll get to this Southern poverty law center. And I mentioned the ACLU. If you've seen those long ads are running during the day, they're not being honest with you. Right. Right. They're telling you in a broad general thing, we're for voters, rights, we're for women's rights. And when you break it down, actually, what they're for, if you said what they were for, the public would reject

donating the $19 a month. Exactly. By the way, I was out yesterday because God, as my witness, I thought, Earth Day was a company holiday. Sorry. Sorry. I apologize for that. But, but as I said, I said, they've become what the fact checkers were. Yeah. The left sits are, and so we have the fact checkers. We have the anti hate groups where they've become the

“opposite of what they're supposed to be. Yep. 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 fax within 24 hours.

(Music) We are on our radio. He is Eric Carley and I'm Gary McNamara. Look, not surprised that the judge in Virginia called the Gerrymandering in Virginia and the vote on constitutional law. He did it on the process. As I said yesterday, the one thing that nobody seems to be talking about is the history of how courts have looked at Gerrymandering. You look at what they did,

taking basically a state that was six to five and making it ten to one. That just wouldn't pass

muster. With any course, previous to New York attempting to do it back in 2022 or 2024. I think that did 2022 in 2024. But when New York first did it, because it wasn't Texas, it started, it was New York, it started it. Right? Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible.

[Music]

“You're listening to Red Eyed Radio from the Ray Lee Factor Studios.”

[Music] And he's here, Carlton, I'm Gary McNamara. Well, this headline scares a hell out of me. Yeah, what's that? Flesh eating bacteria found in Long Island waters, leaves victims with a 20% chance of dying in 48 hours. Here we go. Here we go. Yeah, often coming from fresh water sources. There's, you know, if you look at the stories over the years, you see it,

this isn't ponds, not in the area. Right. So yeah, so these fresh water sources, the bacteria that that can grow and man, it makes it not want to swim anywhere except the pool.

Okay, first detected in Long Island sounds, so it was in, it was, and also in the golf. Yeah,

“they just got a long Island sound. You may have a brackish water, may have it, in some cases,”

some fresh water mix, maybe. Yeah. So, originating in the golf. Yeah, which also has brackish water. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, the Long Island sound when three people died from the infections back then, the nitrogen runoff from Suffolk County is roughly 360,000 aging cesspools and septic systems, reaching directly into the region's waterways. Oh, good. Wow. This, this kind of report and then coupled with when it starts to become beach season,

which we're almost here, then it's the, you know, basically the bacteria that's found it and you can actually go now to a place to a website and it will tell you the latest reports on levels of bacteria found in the water. And most of it is from human waste. Yeah.

Well, yeah. You know something, you never really, I never really understood until I own my own pool.

And you don't even have children. No, but so, but about the chemistry in it, when you actually start paying attention, going, "All right, man, look at all this stuff I got to pay attention to, and I have a saltwater pool, the saltwater content, the pH, the alkalinity, the pH, and just all this different stuff, the chlorine levels." Yeah, you know, the good chlorine, the bad chlorine, you know, and understanding all this. And it's like, "Oh, time to use the oxidizer because you've got the bad chlorine, which is the dead remaining stuff that the chlorine is killed."

And you realize, "Oh, to get water clear like this is a rare, rare thing." You know, when you see it, for example, occasionally in the, you know, in oceans and stuff like that, the beautiful waters, natural springs and things. Natural springs are huge oceans, whatever, but when you start getting to things like ponds, you realize that the stagnant water, it's not moving much, it's not, it doesn't really have any flow, there's not quite often, most often, maybe, there's not a river that pours into it and pours out of it.

Sometimes there is, but there's not that current that keeps going to keep that water basically refreshed.

“So yeah, every, I think twice a year, I get the postcard, you know, from the city.”

Yeah. You cannot have a green bull. Yeah. It's like, "Oh, no, most cities." Yeah.

And you get old or HOS, but it is because there's, there's that, then it just becomes a mosquito haven. Oh, yeah, that's the one thing, especially with West Nile, and, you know, we get that every year.

Never been sprayed around where I live, though.

Never been on the, never sprayed since I've been there 20 years. It's always north of me where they, you know, they have the traps out everywhere. And they test the mosquitoes for West Nile virus and, you know, boom. Yeah. But, you know, I'm, I try to stay away from mosquitoes.

I try to stay away from, well, fresh bodies of water. I like the, the huge chemistry set that I have in my backyard that I may die of chlorine poisoning, but those bacteria are not going to get several years ago. My neighborhood was essentially ground zero here in North Texas for West Nile West Nile.

So I sold our jet skis to a neighbor who has, like, that the, I still has, but they were younger than. Uh, I think seven kids. So you need something to do. He wanted those jet jet skis because it was a good deal. And also he needed something to do.

And, uh, he had been recovering for two years. And said, I just felt so bad. I haven't been able to do anything with my kids. Now, I've just been basically that written. And it was, you know, it was very serious all of it from mosquitoes.

Well, it's, it's the other, you know, Lyme disease, you know, that the deer takes and everything else.

The thing is, when I was younger, never worried about it.

Now that you get older, it's like, okay, okay, I'm going to go hiking.

“There's mosquitoes out there, you know, there's, what about deer ticks?”

Yeah, it's like things I ever thought about. Like, because if I get it now at this age, how might it affect me? I had a friend who eventually passed away from complications of Lyme disease. Well, he got it in and got it really bad. I saw the actor Sam Rockwell. They ended up recently on, on YouTube with, with a GQ and he was talking about.

They were going through all those movies that he's done. And he says, oh, that was a tough one because as we started filming, I came down with Lyme disease. And he said it, like, matter of factly. And I'm like, dude, that's a serious, he said, yeah, I got a bit by a bug.

And then, you know, it's in the hospital for a while. And I was, and he didn't expand on it anymore, but it's a very serious thing. You know, and in Texas, we have plenty of insects. I mean, they're just, I'm the mosquitoes, or everywhere, all the time. And the thing is, you can spray their stuff that you can spray on your lawn.

And whatever, it only lasts as long as, until the next rainstorm. And it's watering cycle, you know what I mean? So it really doesn't, it's not going to, I mean, they're just, they're everywhere. Because you might be spraying, but your neighbor might not spray. You might take care of standing water.

Your neighbor doesn't take care of standing water. I shouldn't speak. I have four rain barrels, but, you know, that's, we stay on top of those, though. Well, that's something you have to do.

“It's like, I always look forward, and people say, do you really?”

I always look forward to the summer nights after the sun goes down in the middle of August,

where it's still 100 degrees, because at that point in the summer, if it hasn't rained, yeah, very, that's when you have very few bugs. Yeah, the moisture is kind of gone and yeah, except if I turn the lights on in my pool. You know, that's the, you know, that's the interesting thing. I've got the light in my pool.

I don't have it on during the summer, right? Because it attracts bugs like you can't believe. Oh, crazy. You know, especially Rhonda, the June bugs. June bugs just, oh, decide to have a swimming party. And so people said, well, when do you have it on? I said, I actually put it on around Christmas time.

I open up the back shades and, you know, have it a multi-colored. And so it's almost like it's Christmas seeing my backyard. Yeah. And I can see it, you know, from the rest of the house. And I said, but it's, you know, 35 degrees out.

So there's no bugs, but what a pain in the butt, you know, that, that, that gets to be. But no matter where you live, you know, as I found out, it doesn't matter where you live. There's challenges. It was, it was funny because I saw a guy.

It was a realtor down in Florida. In fact, down in Key West and talking about if you're going to move down here. Here are the problems. And it's loud. And I'm not an island person. I need, I need just in my mind to have the ability to drive as far as I want.

And so I'm just, I've never been an island person wouldn't feel comfortable on an island.

But he said, he said, you know, so many people worry about hurricanes. He goes, you know, it scares a hell out of me. I don't know how those people up north live through those snowstorms.

“What if you get stuck and you can't move, who comes to get you?”

And I realize stuff that I don't even worry about if there's no storm. Yeah, you know, people, if they're not accustomed to it, absolutely panic. And it's like, well, you know, I'd rather have a hurricane because we've survived hurricanes. And yeah, we've got the big legs on our house. So we've never been flooded.

And so, you know, that I'd rather deal with that than deal with snowstorm. And man, I'm just one okay, but most no storms aren't like that. I mean, that's really right. If you in far between plus you really have, you have, you notice unless you have those unbelievable snowstorms, like the Blizzard of 77, that I went through.

I was just watching a documentary on the 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston. Ah, September 8th, 1900. And you know, you have to be careful on the documentaries that it's of what facts, you know,

There's a lot of information to find, but Galveston Island at that point. I mean, barely above sea level. And it wasn't in 1900. They had a meteorologist on the island. And he, according to this documentary,

“he didn't make the right call, didn't make it soon enough when they finally sent the words to Washington.”

It wasn't, you know, they believed it was probably too late. He went door to door to door to some of the beach houses telling people to get out of the way. But they talked about how Galveston was describing because of the ports. Just thriving had more millionaires per capita than some of the major cities. And it was just I mean, the good times were rolling.

And then this storm comes in and then the horrific aftermath, killing thousands of people.

And they basically had to, they ended up trying to put the bodies on a barge to sink them in the ocean.

That didn't work because the ocean brought them back to the shores. They ended up having to burn the bodies in masses. Because they were afraid of disease spread that they thought that would kill even thousands more. So you look at a situation and the technology is vastly different, vastly different.

“I watched another one about how many people are killed in that one.”

Estimates are anywhere. The reason they can't get a solid estimate or solid number is because entire families were killed. And there was no one to report them missing. So they don't know. But it goes from anywhere from 6,000 to 12,000.

Yeah, that's what I heard about 12,000. And so they believed the 12,000 these days. They believed the 12,000 based on information of who was living there at the time. And those records, they assumed those people because they didn't hear from them were lost. So that's where the 12,000 number got up to in recent years.

But it came in and basically raised the island.

They brought in, I don't know how many tons of sand to raise the island. They built the sea wall, which is it's 17 or 18 feet tall, 16 feet, 17 feet thick. And at the time was one of the greatest, if not the greatest infrastructure plan in effort, our country had seen today. It was massive. Again, this is 1900. So that's helped save a lot of lives, but still those hurricanes can be deadly.

And you know, houses were on stills back then, not all of them, but beach houses. But it basically wiped Galveston off the map and the question rebuild or not. And rebuilding was something, I don't even know they would think of today. I don't know what the cost would be of rebuilding it if the similar, if everything were similar in the numbers. But they probably wouldn't, I'm guessing.

We are Red Eye Radio. We are Red Eye Radio. We are Red Eye Radio. We are Red Eye Radio. He's our Crony and I'm Gary McNamara.

I was thinking about just popped into my mind in the last segment when you were talking about, you got to be careful. With videos you see on YouTube and the eye and their accuracy and everything else. It brought back just a recent memory. It was a few days ago and I don't pay for commercials. I pay not to have commercials on YouTube and it completely changes the experience.

I just let it roll. And all of a sudden, whatever algorithm came up, it was a thing on 50 things you didn't know about Western New York,

which is basically a Rochester Buffalo that entire area of Western New York out there.

So you know what I'm saying? I'm like, okay, I'm going to look for the mistakes. It didn't take long. They called a Ronda Coit, a suburb of Rochester Iron Decoy. Iron Decoy and the Allegheny Mountains became the Allegally Mountains.

And it was hilarious.

“I was like, wow, who's, who's putting these together and not ending them?”

Well, I saw one just yesterday on some of the best engines that have been made. We'll pick up trucks. And the LS is legendary. It's a GM engine in Chevy and GM trucks from back of the day.

Instead of V8s, it said V8s.

“Because if you were to write in the script, V8s would be V8, the number 8 and then a small S, V8s.”

Right, and plural V8 engines. And it said the V8s. No, right. To those under the age of 40, a V8 engine. Yeah, exactly. Eight cylinders.

Yeah, I have one. I got a 5.3 liter. And it's great. But it's, you know, those are the things that, where you can tell. They, it's, it's quite often a mispronunciation.

Oh. And ad agencies are dealing with that. I actually had an advertiser tell me that recently that they're dealing with that. They got, they got kicked back because it wasn't saying things right. And they couldn't program it to say it correctly.

Now for the our news is brought to you by how products.

Visit how products.com. This is Ridae Radio on Westwood One. [Music] Now, it's Ridae 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 Ridae Radio.

All across America. He is her crowning. I'm Gary McNamara. One of my favorite stories from the week. Yeah, was a billionaire Tom Styer,

getting the endorsement from Bernie Sanders and his anti-Billionaire group. He's a billionaire. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here's CNN talking about it.

Here we go. Well, on the Tom Styer of it all, he was endorsed this week by a progressive group. It's a group that was founded to oppose billionaires by Senator Bernie Sanders. They did so really openly despite the fact that Styer is a billionaire. [Laughs]

It never stops. And of course, when you're flying to the No Kings rally, you get on a private jet. You know, like a king would have. [Laughs]

It goes beyond hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is just the manifestation of the fact that they don't buy into their own BS. Yeah, they don't. They don't.

I mean, he would love. No doubt, Bernie would love to take all the money from the billionaires or select billionaires because there's the other thing too. The no oligarchs thing.

“That's the no oligarchs too, I think, is actually the one where he was flying in the private jet.”

Same principle applies here. And that's exactly what you would build out. Because the organization, by putting an endorsement behind a billionaires, says we're okay with certain billionaires. Right.

Because there are other people running that aren't billionaires, you know, you would think that they would have a rule now that if you're going to run for public office, you need to give up your billions. Right. Hand it over.

Right. Hand over your billions. Right. Because they're blatant. You know, when when you get to the point, remember the interview that Mark Kelly was doing.

He was talking to some influencer. Yeah. And she said, well, we know there's no need for billionaires. We should get rid of billionaires because you're right. There's no need for billionaires.

There's no need. And it's like, you're an idiot, you know, it shows that astronauts can be complete idiots that are completely clueless on so many things. Right. They may be good astronauts.

Right. Doesn't mean they're good at economics. Exactly. No, it doesn't mean they're good at any type of common sense. It's exactly how a communist like Bernie Sanders would believe.

Look, we're going to have some oligarchs. We're going to have some wealthy people. It's just not going to be the you or the ones that disagree. Sorry, if you get out of line and speak against the state comrade. We're going to take your billions.

Sorrows.

“Is there been a billionaire more involved in a political party?”

Right. I'm over a consistent period of time than sorrows. Not just giving money. But, but also funding protests. Yeah.

We know this or which puts the organization in place and gets it and keeps it at the top of the news by the other activists in the newsrooms.

Yet people show up to these protests as if they're genuine.

Did you see in the California debate yesterday? They've held Ellen again. I guess because the sheriff was in it. So many people have dropped out where he got the number of votes. It's like, all right. We got somebody that we can call a minority here.

Yeah. So we can have the debate. Right. Yeah. It's not all white people.

Right. But they all the Democrats gave Gavin Newsom like a B or an A for his fight against homelessness. Yeah. I think, sure, who said, well, I give him an A for effort. Yeah.

All right. I'll be echoing Hilton did not agree with that. The deal Republicans. Right. Yeah.

There. But I watched part of that. Nothing came out of it. They they can't. You can't separate yourself because you all believe the same crazy things.

Right.

“The only thing that you can separate is if you came out and talk like Bill Mar.”

Yeah. If you came out like Bill Mar, that would say. But there's nothing that separates any of the Democrat candidates. No. Well.

There's nothing. I think. And see, because it makes you wonder like a Rama manual. Right. Yeah.

All right. Same thing. But they once they officially jump in, do they believe they can get away with talking like Rama manual or Bill Mar? Well, let me.

Let me. One thing I was thinking the other day, how long are people on the left going to continue to do Bill Mar? They won't do any conservative shows, as we know. Right.

How long before they start calling him and all out conservative?

Well, when does it come to the point where they say, you know, I would have never.

Because I bet you Rama manual, because he was challenged by Bill Mar twice. Right. Right. I wonder if he's thinking, I don't need to go on Bill Mar because I keep talking about the things that my party does not endorse.

Right. And I call them. I'm implying that they're crazy. Yeah. And if I wish to run for president, I can't continue to do it.

I just have to be quiet on it. And if I talk about it, put out my own statement that is never fully complete. Right.

“As to what I believe on the issue, it's like the broad bush brush.”

And I give the, you know, because we're talking about the Southern poverty law center. And I mentioned to you, and I talked about it yesterday, the ACLU ad. Yeah. Watch if you, if you're watching, and it's on, you know, during daytime. Right.

You know, it's on during the daytime. And I don't know if they're attempting to, to, I don't know what demographic they're attempting to hit on it because I've looked at the shows. They'd be like a Columbo on and the ad will be on. Right.

And it's the night, these are paid ads now. These aren't, you know, they're not like they, they don't run them for free. These are paid ads to get you to donate to the ACLU. Mm-hmm. And when you look at the actual presentation of it, it's a much broader stroke.

You know, a much broader brush, which sends you in the complete opposite direction of what the average person would think the ACLU is about. Where the Americans civil liberties union were, we're, we're concerned about the liberties, liberties of people, people's voting rights, women's rights. And they just get to that particular point.

And what the voting rights is about voter ID. Mm-hmm. You're fighting to get rid of voter ID. Right. You want fraud and elections.

Right. You're fighting against vote. You're saying voters rights. Well, I'm, I'm for voters. Who isn't for voters rights?

Well, voters rights. Right. I'm, I'm for voters rights. I believe voters have rights. Yes.

You know, well, what are you specifically talking about? We don't believe there should be voter ID. You know, on women's rights, what's the women's rights? The women's rights is men the biggest issue for women in the last election was the radical transgender movement.

Women's rights is men dictating to women that women shouldn't place that women are weak. And the men should be playing sports. And men should be able to expose their genitals. I mean, it's like flashing, exposing men playing against women.

Yeah.

“I mean, that's what their women's rights are.”

And when you go through all the things that they're saying, it's a very, you know, very umbrella.

This is what we're about rights rights rights, but they never talk specifics about

why you should donate the $19 a month. And why don't they? For example, if I'm in a, if I'm in a gun group.

And I'm running ads for you to donate. Right. National, whatever. Rifle association, whatever. We defend the second amendment.

We believe that you have a right.

And here's what we're defending.

This, this, this, this, this and this. Yeah. You can be very specific on it.

“You're not going to sit there and say, we're about gun rights.”

Yet the people know we, we wish to defend second amendment rights. And the purpose of you existing is to put in more gun control laws. Yeah. You're not going to get away with it. Right.

And so I mean, that's, but that's when, when you look at, whether it's, you know, I can take everything that I've seen this week from those ads to what's going on. Uh, you know, uh, with the humanitarian race and the debate they had. Uh, last night, Democrats just don't talk specifics.

Oh, immigrant rights. Mm-hmm. Immigrant rights. Immigrant rights. No.

You're saying illegal immigrants have rights.

But you actually tear apart what the ACLU was about. You know, what they are actually doing. They're the opposite. It's a reason the Dershwitz doesn't associate with them. I mean, the ACLU's to you to be Dershwitz.

Yeah.

“You would think Dershwitz when you heard the ACLU.”

Right. He's run based on it. Right. Yeah. And then they talk about the fact we wish to protect constitutional rights.

Now you actually don't, you don't believe. You know, we've, I've seen so much just getting me a little sick again because you've got the, um, I don't know what the, the, the people who don't want to defend anybody coming out and and saying, well, you know, we need both sides to come together and if you come together and if you come together

and if you come together and if you come together and you come together and as we've said, let's actually talk the issues and then you tell me where the compromise is. Right. Where's the middle ground? Right.

Somebody define that middle ground. What's that going to be? What is, and, and they can't, they can't do it. Only some men and women's locker rooms. We'll limit the number.

I mean, where's, where's the middle ground? Right. And, but it's the fact that, and it's frustrating because I think the Republicans too could do a much better job. The Democrats cannot actually promote what they believe liberalism and the ACLU

ad is what the evidence is to me that proves it cannot actually tell you.

“This is why you should donate $19 a month.”

You need to donate $19 a month because we wish to protect through sanctuary cities, criminal illegal immigrants in your town. Yeah. Right. That on the women's movement, we believe that if a man says they're a woman, they are and

men should compete against women in sports. Yeah. And men should be able to walk around naked in front of women if they claim that they're a woman. Be honest with what you're selling. Mm-hmm.

And then see what the donations, what kind of donations you get. And on voters' rights, say on voters' rights, we believe that voter ID is wrong. Yeah. We believe that no ID should be necessary to vote. Right.

Right. We believe that fraud is an acceptable consequence of not having voter ID.

Because we believe that the state should never ask for ID in any way because we're the American

Civil Liberties Union and you have a right not to prove who you are to anybody that you don't wish to prove who you are including to vote or anything else. Right. Be honest with the people. Sell what you truly believe.

They won't do it. They won't do it. No. No. They can't own it.

They can't stand on their convictions. Because they know the moment they do that they'll be telling the truth to the people. And the willfully ignorant is who they count on. They count on willfully ignorant individuals to go along with what they're doing. Yeah.

That's the unfortunate part right now of our society. And is the willfully ignorant are giving people too much power without even looking into what it's all about. And it's really interesting because I don't know why but I talked about the couple of met a few weeks ago that I met a few other people. This this past week and who talked you know who we clearly were on the left.

They have no idea what's going on. They have no idea. I brought up you know that the whole Russia collusion was a hoax. They looked at me with plays. Guys, what are you talking about?

It never happened. Hillary Clinton is a one who funded. Remember the dossier? Well, yeah. That thing that we put together.

Yeah. That was all lies. I've been paid money to to to uh, to uh, Parkinson's going. Parkinson's going with then transfer the money to uh,

fusion GPS who then hired a former British spy and others to create just made up stories about Trump.

You're ridiculous. Where'd you get that from? They have no idea. They have no idea. And anything that you bring up.

“And I saw somebody out there to out in the streets talking to about,”

uh, they were saying, you're basically saying,

this is what he said. What do you think? And it was not Trump talking about Iran. It was all Democrats. Right.

And they're all going, well, he's an idiot. He's an idiot. And then she told them, uh, know that was uh, Kamala Harris and that's Hillary Clinton. Yeah.

And they were furious. Right. Well, yeah. I have it right here. Why don't believe anything that I read?

Well, I got that again this weekend. I don't believe anything I read.

“And I said with then how do you form your opinion?”

And they look at you. They haven't even thought that out. They haven't even thought that out. And they thought that to the point. They look at you with the blank.

And then they changed it to. Yeah, but what? I go, no, no, no, no. You said you don't believe anything that you read. How did you come to your opinion that what I'm saying is false?

Do you know what I'm saying is false? Do you have the evidence? No, I just, I just don't believe anything. Well, then how do you come to Europe? And it's a circle.

It's this ridiculous circle of totally delusional thought. Yeah. We're no dots are connected at all. And you're like, where do you start the base discussion with that? For all the people saying, we all need to come together.

“How do you start a discussion when the people that you're talking to have no idea what the truth is?”

In order to have a debate, you've got to agree on some things that are truthful, right? Yep, in order to start the debate. When you've got the truth behind you and they just deny that it exists, where is the basis to start a negotiation? It's like trying to negotiate with Iranians. No, it is.

And they're not going to change. No? There will be no changing for the radicals. And the willfully ignorant, by the way, it's not like, as you just pointed out, when they learn the facts, they just go, oh, well, I guess I'll change my opinion. It doesn't work that way because now they've already carried the flag.

They've already carried the torch. They can't give that up. Once you've invested that much in it, you're in. We are right, I radio. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by House Products, tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920.

Fundig is now available for one of USDA's primary support programs for research and development in specialty crop agriculture, but according to Rachel Beldick, an associate director within the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

We now have $175 million in funding, which is significantly more than last year.

Simply put, more funding needs. We are able to fund even more of the meritorious proposals that we have. A two step application process is now underway with a pre application section followed by a full proposal and scientific review process. Having that relevant see review really ensures that the research and the extension and the different education issues that we are funding through the specialty crop research initiative is truly meeting the needs of producers. The foundation deadline is due 15th.

More details are available at www.NIFA.USDA.gov. Type in specialty crop research initiative in the search bar to reach the SCRI information page. Rod Bay in reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Semax fuels and loops. We are in a radio and he is a running on hearing Mac and a mayor.

The southern poverty loss center and just a couple of audio cuts here. A concerning the California gubernatorial debate yesterday and how they can't even answer simply. I don't know if you heard this, but because I know you have been busy this week. But the New York months had a 12th game losing streak. Apparently they won yesterday.

And it started after Mandoni embraced Mr. Med who was like the mascot. It's been a year and a half. The New Yorkers are blaming the 12th game losing streak on the curse of the Mambino after the mayor embraced Mr. Med.

Of course, spending 253 million without a win is still better.

Then 30 million on a grocery store that will not be built for years, at least the mats are currently playing. Exactly.

I guess they won yesterday, but that was pretty hilarious.

Wow. The curse of the Mambino. I think we can use that in other areas. Yeah, I think we can. It's just great.

Wow. [Music] Catch Red Eye Radio live every night on the Red Eye Radio app available in the app store. Red Eye Radio. And I'm Gary Macalong with the Eric Harley.

The California Gubernatorial Debate. Other funny stuff coming up in just a minute and a half. There are a lot of supplements on the market today. It makes it tough to find the right ones.

“You need to first of all find one that works and find one you can trust.”

That's where relief factor comes in for me. I've been taking relief factor for quite some time now. And in fact, you've heard my radio friends talking about relief factor endorsing relief factor. For well over 10 years now, because it works. Aging pains from aging started to slow me down quite a bit and I thought, no, I'm not ready to slow down.

And thanks to relief factor, I don't have to. We're talking for key ingredients. Drug free. That go to the source of the inflammation. Your body's own inflammation response mechanisms.

And it deals with it. Again, drug free. This is what I love about relief factor. You can trust relief factor.

“So let's get you started on relief factor.”

I want to explain my absence from the show here over this past week. I was out last Friday and then Monday. I was out yesterday. I'll probably in fact, I'll be out one tomorrow as well. My brother passed away last week.

I was especially difficult as it always is for the family.

Both of my parents are still alive. It has been especially difficult. Helping them sort through things. My brother lived alone. I did not have a wife or children.

But he was a good man.

“He was a U.S. Marine National Guardsman later in life.”

Loved his country. Loved his relationship with God. And was a very good man. We're still again kind of sorting through all this as a family. But many of us have been through it.

You've been through it, Gary. And we all go through it at some point. It was unexpected. And so that was something that really kind of again took us by surprise last Thursday morning when I got the call. I was based on a welfare check. We hadn't heard from them in a few days.

And so we found out and on Thursday morning. And I just want to say thank you to everybody that's so far been involved in this process. The staff, the crew and you for supporting my absence. But beyond that, the people who do the work.

The first responders who go in and do a welfare check.

The company we hired to help us sort through some things. His neighbors, his former colleagues who have all been supportive over the years. And I know them because my brother had so much respect for them. And they had so much respect and love for my brother. We're going to lay him to rest this Saturday.

And it's just one of those things that we go through in life. And you know, it's been again, especially hard. This is the first immediate family member that I've lost. My parents lost a baby before I was born. So I didn't know my oldest brother.

And we're certainly working through it.

“I know our audience has been kind and the wake of your losses, Gary.”

And I thank you and advance for that because I know many of them have gone through it. And each of those losses has its own set of circumstances. And this is no different. But we're getting through it. And everybody has been in the family has been doing relatively okay as we kind of sort through it.

Because thanks to my brother's organizational skills. There's a lot of it that that became easier for us because we need to take care of any business matters, whatever that is left. But thanks to his due diligence while he was around while he was alive, that became easier for us. But then as we settled from doing the business task at hand and making arrangements, things the grief starts to settle in. And so it became more and more difficult as we got past the weekend.

Taking care of certain tasks and then just sitting down for the first time.

Many of us. And several of us in the family that just didn't really have a time to sit down. I went. Last starting again Thursday morning. I went for a couple of periods over the weekend where I was up for.

Twenty seven up to and in one case up to forty hours. A wake without sleep. But it's what's required. I knew that I had to help do this and my sister's been such a saint in doing so much of this too. Where you do have to set the emotion aside in order to sort things out to make sure that our parents aren't going to have to do this themselves. And that has been the case. My dad has been very involved as he insists, but there are things onsite in the house that in my brother's house that had to be taking care of and.

And secured and and and and we've we're getting through that part. We've taken care of the the most important stuff in that regard.

So. You know, I pray for anybody that's going through it. It's it's never easy. But we will have again his service will be this Saturday. Complete with a 21 gun salute.

“As it should be and again, I think everybody in advance where they're thoughts and prayers.”

Marine right US Marine right out of high school and then later in the national guard. He served. He dealt with some issues. He never served directly in more time, but but there were some incidents and I don't fully understand them. That had happened during his service. And there were some against some other things that that he dealt with. We believe he died in a sleep.

And he was he was 64. He would have been 65 in August. I think she was in the in the past. And doctors were looking into that. I was with him as he was going through certain procedures.

And some of his neighbors and colleagues were right there with him too. It was just amazing to watch.

He's he's had some great support over the years. And I'm very grateful to know that that gives some some some reassurance. And then give us peace in knowing more about his life that we knew that before he passed. And again, because you wonder, you know, you wonder and you want to make sure that everybody in your family is okay.

“But what their life is like, but he was he had plenty of friends and neighbors.”

One neighbor sharing with me as we were at a place the other day. How they exchanged gardening tips to grow vegetables and everything else in my brother was very proud of this small garden. He was growing. He was he just loves. He loves over it. He was he was successfully growing. And he was very proud of that fact. Very proud of the fact that he worked a simple job later in life, making PVC pipe. And, but you know, you and I talked about success stories success can be measured, I guess, in many ways.

But living below your means and taking care of your obligations, your personal obligations, business wise.

It has half the miles that my two-year-old truck has on it.

I paid off paid off his house a few years ago. And was again, setting it had set everything up. He was getting some disability from the VA and also getting so security. And so he had set up things in life. And I do believe he had, you know, planned and hoped that we talked about it.

“To live a long and happy life. But you never know. And he was prepared for that. You never know. And I think we all should be.”

It's something that that does make it easier on your loved ones. Those left behind in the wake of a death that have to make arrangements and figure things out as to what the estate has obligations to and everything else. It becomes very involved. But my brother was, he was the perfect Marine following a directive, you know, being a good Marine or in the National Guard a good soldier. And he loved his country. Again, he was very close to God. And, you know, without being a saint, none of us are, you know, was a good man.

And had respect and admiration for people. He didn't always express it. But for some reason, he did around me. And he was able to verbalize it around me. And he would talk about it.

Having a procedure here in Dallas one time I was with him. And before that procedure. And pre-op. And he said, you know, these nurses and doctors think about what it takes to become a nurse doctor. And then to be one, the job, you know, at hand, after you go through all of that very tough educational process. But the experience of that is, and then his neighbors and his colleagues and former service members. And he talked about them again with respect and admiration.

“You and I have talked about this. In order to have respect and admiration for others, you have to have a true appreciation for their time.”

Their efforts, their life experience. And when you have that appreciation, that comes from a place of love. You're considering what it takes and what that person has been through. And that's who my brother was. On the, on the outside, you may not have, even if you were a friend of his, he may not have expressed that directly to you. But he was, that's who he was on the inside because he did for some reason repeatedly with me over the years. And so we'll miss him greatly. But his legacy will be, again, that respect and admiration and true appreciation for others.

Well, you know, you have the full support of of everyone here on the, the staff, whatever you need, you know, I remember the movie and it is true grief is messy and it doesn't make sense. You don't know when it's going to hit.

“Whatever you need, you know, we're here for you. Well, I appreciate it. And I, and I, to that end, I want to say something because”

We, we had a listener Joe, who one time made us some buttons that say, tell us where we're wrong, what we've said for years. But he, in fact, invited his wife as lovely bride Laurie, one night to stay up and listen to the show. And then they would sit during our breaks and have their own little talk show, Laurie shared this with me after Joe's passing. But being so close to Joe over the years, Laurie had a, you know, a tough time when he was gone, my next door neighbor is going through the same with her husband passing in recent years.

So people say that, well, you know, at some point you move on and life continues on, life does continue on, but everyone's grief is different.

It's at every, it's at different levels and you always feel it, what you, but what you learn is how to deal with that grief.

I learned through another person that Laurie had passed and this goes back almost two years ago, but she wrote me all the time by email. She listened every night from the Detroit area and she was just a beautiful person. And I know she and Joe are spending eternity together. I have no doubt, but, but for those who are grieving, we pray for you and we pray that God gives you strength.

Well, God bless you and God bless your family. Thank you.

90% of an airline, Mr. President, stop it.

“Yeah. We don't need, we don't need this.”

We don't need the federal government having equity in any company. Stop it. Right. It's a dumb socialistic idea. Stop it.

Yeah. No bailouts. If they, if they, if they're not viable as a company, I don't want to see people lose their jobs.

And they do I, but it happens in business and if they're not viable and they're can't be a merger or an acquisition involved from the private sector. No, the government tax payer dollars should, should not be a part of this taking over an airline. No. This is RIDI radio on Westwood One.
