Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything from politics
to social issues and views 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. Hi, good morning. Where should we start? I don't know. I know where to start. Okay. Stop asking the left or demanding that the left, stop the over-the-top assassination
rhetoric. Yeah. Everything from Trump is Hitler, whatever. This is the same thing that
after the Mueller report where you had the conservatives and Republicans come out and
“say, "See, journalists need to be journalists. You need to get back." And we said, "Stop”
it." They're not journalists. They don't care that the Mueller report came out and said, "No, there's no evidence of Trump colluded with the Russians at all." You're telling them to do a separate job that they're not doing. They're not journalists. They're political activists. They didn't get into the field to be journalists. Right. They got into the field to be heroes. So when you look at it, I'm not saying that there is an over-the-top
rhetoric that occasionally comes from the right. There is. But when it does, the vast majority
of time, it's based on specific issues. For example, you can't identify what a woman is
“at you wish to set policy. That's crazy. Yeah. If you can't identify a woman, there's”
something wrong with you. Yeah. That's not over-the-top rhetoric. You look at what normal is and what normal sciences that is completely and totally accepted. And when you reject it, there is a problem there. And over-the-top rhetoric is not at that point over-the-top rhetoric. Right. If you believe in open borders, if you sit there and you come out and you say as we during COVID that you want to cross Canada, we don't know, in Canada, Canadians
come here. We don't know. And by the way, you cannot, you cannot even be together in a group of of a four and six feet here. Meanwhile, everybody in the Southern border come in, we don't care whether you have COVID or not. Right. We don't want to violate your constitutional rights by giving you by demanding you take a COVID check or COVID tests. And so the point,
“the point that I'm trying to make here, which I believe I can make, is the fact that”
that's their policy, their policy, their main policy is Trump is Hitler. It's not, it's not, you're using over-the-top or incendiary rhetoric because the policy that they are promoting is incendiary, it's not, it's crazy. They're just saying Trump is Hitler. Yeah, without any context as to why he is Hitler because he's authoritarian and he says mean stuff. But what is he, what does he do? Is he following what the courts say? Yes. But he's putting an executive
order through that, um, uh, that are overturned by the courts. Every president does that. Does that mean every president was Hitler then? Were you calling an Obama Hitler when he lost to the Supreme Court numerous times? Nine nothing? Right. Did you say it when Biden was slapped down over and over again for doing unconstitutional things? So when you say he's Hitler, if Trump has killed an executed millions of people, well, you may have a point.
But since there is no evidence that Trump has executed or committed a genocide of millions of people, or even talked about wanting to do it, right? Yeah, you're, you know, sorry. And when the entire thing is we're seeing it right now, you know, you and I talked about Rokana yesterday, the representative from California said he's absolutely lying, right, because it was like the raids on American citizens, right, because he, they, they were
asking him about, is it time not to fund the Department of Homeland Security goes, yes,
We're not, but we're only going to do it if we defund ICE because ICE is, uh, is
basically, uh, targeting in raids American citizens, and we said, that's a lie. That's
“why? So if you were a lie, if you lie, and it's an obvious”
lie, and they've done that with ICE, because as we know, both instances, agents thought their lies may be in danger. Yeah. One because the one woman was using the car, and the other one, when they were struggling with the guy, there was a gun, right? That is not indicative of ICE in general, just like any police shooting that happens, or if a police officer goes rogue, it doesn't mean as the Democrats wanted to do in 2020, that you defund police
all across America. Right. Those are not reasonable positions to hold. They're out rageous positions, and so there is an expectation that the political narrative from those that disagree with it may be incendiary because your policies are incendiary that you wish to promote in the United States. Okay. You just hit on something, what they have done like they often do with, uh, you know, spending free healthcare, things like this government
“healthcare, they've taken the defund the police, which for them, remember, backfired,”
because when you did the polls for people, it was, should we defund the police? Yes. What about the police in your town? Well, no, not a lie town. Right. Well, this, for
ICE, defund ICE because, you know, it's kind of like the national police. That's basically
what they do. It's, it's national federal law enforcement. It's a, it's, it's on a greater scale and doesn't pertain directly to their town. Oh, unless you're in a border town where they're screaming, we need more enforcement. This is, this is, this is the delusional world that they live in that they also create by creating more lies along the way every day. They have to create more and more lies. I said it yesterday. It's, it's, it's gotta be exhausting.
It's gotta be exhausting. It takes a lot of work. And I'll tell you, if the Republicans would work as hard in getting the message on the truth out to the people as the Democrats work on getting lies spread to the people, we might have a different outcome at election time. Well, I mean, I just don't, I, I don't get how in the world anybody could just
“buy into it. You know, here's the thing. You can say anything, especially right now because”
I've been reading a lot about AI. Everybody's using AI. I got a couple of family members. You say one thing to them. They immediately go to their phone for AI to see the answer, which, you know, you have to explain to some people that may not be fluent on AI yet that it's garbage in garbage out. Don't, there was, in fact, a recent study on Google AI and how much of the stuff was inaccurate. Nonetheless, everybody's got the ability to find the
truth if they work at it beyond AI and long before AI. And if you say anything at all that's untruthful, people come back at you, but when the, when the liberal left, when the activist and those in power on Capitol Hill on the liberal left spread these lies, nobody on the left is calling them on it. Nobody on the left is calling them on it because they have built this culture knowing. You and I talked about it and they've been talking about it for years
at different levels on different issues. Obamacare, Obama lying basically to promote obamacare.
And we got to call one night from a liberal that said, we don't care that he's lying. We don't care that he lied about his opinion on gay marriage to get elected because we knew what he thought. We don't care that he lies about obamacare. Whatever it takes to get to whatever goal we're trying to achieve. We don't care. You're part of it. Even if you're not actively spreading the lies that they're telling because they're a plenty
of them that are willfully ignorant, even if you're just voting for them because you refuse to vote Republican, you're part of it. And you're building a set of lies and the reason they change so often, the reason they have to leapfrog every single day and move
On to the next one.
about, the liberal activist media doesn't care about getting things straight. They move
“on to the next thing. They get called out on something that's inaccurate or an all-out”
lie. And they don't care that they got caught lying. They just move on to the next one. Right. So the left and the Democrats aren't going to stop because that's their policy. Yes. You know, I was seen, oh, okay. I think it was, I think it was Steven A. Smith. You know, we need to debate these issues. They don't want to debate the issues. Right. We're giving an example of a Democrat that was coupled Democrats completely clueless. The one
of Lee Zeldin thing. For some to Laurie yesterday was just was just absolutely precious. You could tell he caught her. She had no idea what the hell she doesn't know the law. No, doesn't know the Supreme Court president. No, doesn't know anything. And it's just as
“you could see how frustrated she was. And as I said, that's why at times, even when Trump is”
used, you know, over the top rhetoric, we've said, you don't need to do that. We could understand why you're angry at this because you know what the Democrats tried to do to you. Right.
But you may appease your base, but the goal should always be independence. And if you
sit there, you can blast them with the truth. Don't use. And we've said it to the, the right all the time. The left has no choice, but to use the over the top rhetoric. Right. They can't debate the issues. You can debate the issues. You don't need to ever use it. Now, and if you do use it, make sure that it's such a slam dunk issue. Yes, you know, the border is secure. There's no problem with saying these people are liars and why are they doing this? Why are they, why did they allow?
Why did they want people coming into the country? And during COVID, we said, we're the Republicans screaming that we can't do anything in the United States. Yet the voters open and illegal immigrants are coming in and they weren't checking them for COVID. Right. So they really don't care about it. What is the purpose of of doing it? And you can be at that point frustrated and angry. And when you have policy, if, if you're, if, if you have policy that's incendiary, men should be able to show
their genitals to women in locker rooms, women get used to it. You can call them as we have said perverts. Yeah. That's to me, that's acceptable. Right. Because the language fits exactly what they're doing. Right. Yep. It applies. And that's the difference. The difference is, a lot of times,
you see the, the rhetoric, the hot rhetoric on the right, but it's always based on an issue.
The rhetoric on the left is based towards people. Right. And then you say, okay, tell me what he, well, he's an authoritarian and, and he's a dictator. How? I mean, that's the whole point. Those, those things are completely and totally false. Now, I think every president, probably, when they put an executive order, the other side of said, well, they would love to be a dictator, wouldn't they? Right. But that's different than over and over again, because as I said,
yesterday, it's not just that the rhetoric is incendiary for no reason, based on a lie, it said, people are now believing it. Well, remember all the conservative rallies, the no kings rallies during the Obama years. Remember all those? No, you don't because they didn't
“happen. Well, again, that's the other point. The no kings, that's why it's been mocked so severely,”
because no kings is based on no truth. Right. The whole thing. There's no truth to it. And I've said, that's the thing that the half the country looks at it and goes, you know, if you had a particular issue to be fine, but the generalities of no kings does not fit the United States, right. You may not like the president, but he's not a king. He doesn't have the authority of a king. He doesn't have the authority of a as a dictator. Doesn't matter whether he wants to be or not,
it's whether he is. Well, and, and the handful of times, we see people on social media back during the Obama years, you know, who else tried recess appointments, Hitler, and we'd say, stop, don't be. Don't be the last. Don't act like the last. You know, it would be, I've done, on it was, it was other than recess appointments. That just happened to be funnier. But it was, it was, you know, on a couple of issues here and there, you know, that just sounds like Hitler
and hold on this second, calm down. Let's, let's have a discussion. No, with the guy I like to
Rule with his pen only, he talked, he actually mentioned it.
but he basically talked about there's a lot he could do. And he knew that
through executive order through the EPA for basically cap and trade type policy. He didn't need Congress to get it done, which was overturned, which was overturned by the Supreme Court. Yes. And, and, but in the Michigan case, it was a case based in Michigan, they came back and asked the Obama administration official, well, do you feel defeated? And he said no, because the industry already retrofitted their outfit that they had to do years ago and spent billions and
billions and billions, they're not going to go back to, they're not going to spend billions to go back to the old way. So we feel like we weren't defeated. We got our way. You know, this is, again, you can go in and say, well, this is him trying to be a dictator. We made, you know,
“comments like this, that's, that's what a dictator would do. When you say, we don't know,”
this is, you saw it all over social media. You heard it everywhere, you know, with a lot of things that Obama did. Well, he's just trying to be a dictator. We believed it was unconstitutional. Well, we could, the reason that we do that is because we need to, we need to argue factually based. And this is what we would call people out on if they were people on the right. Look, don't behave like people on the left. This is exactly what they've been doing. Don't, don't
use that their tactics as we've said, it doesn't, it doesn't work as we've said, over and over again, liberals have to lie. Socialists have to lie. People that believe in a constitutional
republic and free markets never have to lie. Nope. Don't do it. You don't have to. We are
right, I radio. Brought to you by hot shot secret. Hi, I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ
“Keller. In order to manage speed, you need to understand the four factors involved in stopping”
a vehicle. Perception distance is the distance of vehicle travels from the time you see a hazard until you're brain recognizes it. The perception time for an alert driver is approximately three fourths of a second. Reaction distance is the distance of vehicle travels from the time your brain tells your foot to move from the accelerator until your foot hits the brake pedal. The average driver has a reaction time of three fourths of a second. Break leg distance also needs to be taken
into account. When operating a vehicle with air brakes, it takes about half a second for the mechanical operation to take place. Finally, breaking distance is the distance it takes a vehicle to stop once the brakes are applied. Breaking distance is affected by the weight, length, and speed of the vehicle, as well as road condition. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com.

We brought it up yesterday. The whole thing about Obama saying, "Wow, we still don't know. We have no idea why that alleged assassin did what he did." Of course, by that point, it had been out for hours of the manifesto. We had just said, "Whoa." Just reading Charles Cook. Just one line from him today. He mentioned a review where it's like, "Obama is still annoying." Barack Obama has mastered the art of being a vicious partisan while pretending to be judicious.
Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. No, that's it. Perfect. That's so well put. We never fell for it. No.
You know, he's always reminded me. He's a him and George Clooney are alike. The way that they present things is if they're a very judicious, very intellectual. Right. And they're clueless. Right. Like, I have spoken. Yeah, I did it so. That was not. It didn't even make sense. Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. You not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you don't in a bad financial

favorite platform. You're listening to Red Eye Radio from the Ray Lee factor studio. And he is our crony and I'm Gary McNamara. Now, this is really interesting. Because this happened,
“I think in the last six months, I believe, it was Nicole Wallace with the Pritzker. We actually”
played this, but it was a different collage of people. But this was her in the last six months talking about the fact that we don't know where it's coming from. Nobody's ever called Trump Hitler,
or related to Hitler at all or tried to compare him to Hitler. That's never happened. And these
are all interviews that she did previous to her saying that. Okay. Are you ready? I'm ready. All right. Here we go. All right. I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler. I don't think any Democrat has. I actually, and I think it's a smear that they project back on to critics. What is the natural extension just in the people's shoes to Harvard and beyond? There was a authoritarian leader, several decades back, cold, and I'll feel like Hitler.
Hitler came to power and the scientists laid. The military survived in that climate. In the same way that it happened in Russia, with Stalin, the same way it happened with Hitler, eventually you get generals and animals that are in there that only tell the leader what he or she wants to hear. To the extent that the rule of law and the rule of law was an obscure intangible thing. We're now seeing it in action. If you look back in history, you can see very
similar parallels taking place that took place in other countries that really went down that authoritarian
road, including in pre-World War II Nazi Germany when Hitler and Nazi officials basically took
over Frankfurt University, which was the bastion of independent thoughts and progressive thinking and independent thinking, which is what Hitler didn't want. And so again, this is what authoritarian's do. They try to control all of the aspects of social life. When Trump talks about peace and Putin talks about peace, it's autocrats getting their way. That's it. And Mussolini and Hitler said they were being the perverts of peace.
I resisted for a long time analogies to Hitler's Germany. I've got in my sub-stack today,
though, it's really on candy. The same episode where Hitler early in his
tenter before he's totally taken over the government. Some local prosecutors go after his brown shirts and they convict them, sends them and then he releases them. It's really the same thing. Throw back to what? Throw back to what?
“Well, I mean, that is literally Hitler-Hitlerian, right?”
What do people think of what happened to us? Parallel here is to maybe show up on the shores and say, "No, we'll go with Hitler." I mean, what did they think about the switching of sides with the turning of Rwaki Pia's Theoval Office? I believe every voter who cast a vote regardless of who they vote for has to know that Donald Trump believes Hitler did some good things. There you go, and that was her saying it at the end, the last two were her mentioning Hitler.
But, yeah, I mean, this is the fact they live in the bubble of today, or they just believe that the people that pay attention to them are idiots. Yeah, they do, and have no minds that go past the past 24 hours. But we've been saying this for years, they forget the internet exists, yeah, and they have to know that the people, look, I believe that they believe the people that support them, the people on their side, they believe those people are stupid.
There are plenty of them that are willfully ignorant. There might be a few of them that are more us. I can't tell you, but I'll tell you this. If you say, well, nobody's ever called him Hitler
“or compared him to Hitler, that didn't happen, and you're on the left. You have to know the”
opposition was just handed the receipts by you because it's everywhere, and it's going to come back, and someone is going to put it into a montage, like the one you just heard. How are you so stupid to say it out loud, knowing the opposition is just going to boomerang that back in the worst of
Ways?
critical thinking. You don't follow it through. That's what critical thinking is. Follow it through
the to the end. Start with the basis of what's being said, what the issue is, and follow it through to the end. You know, damn well. He's been compared to Hitler for years now. Yes, it's starting the day he decided to run as a Republican. And let's remember when it really became mainstream, was George W. Bush. Yes. That's where it started. Right. And Bill Mar was a part of it. We never heard him. And maybe he did. We didn't hear it. And if he did, okay, fine. But Bill Mar's call
people out here lately for this whole over the top rhetoric and BS. But he was part of it. He said,
you know, we called Bush and Romney. Those guys. We called them Hitler. This guy really is Hitler.
Yeah. I'm paraphrasing that. But this is that was Bill Mar's thoughts at that time. If he's reversed that, if he's said, I was wrong to say that. All right. Fair enough. Someone showed me where
“he did that. But I think it's important to note that that's what I was thinking of yesterday was”
after the Mueller report came out in Republicans and conservatives were saying, well, maybe now the mainstream media will get back to the journalistic principles that made them live. And we're like, stop it. It's they're not journalists. They're political activists and understand that the Democrats know they can't win on the issues. So their major policy is to demonize Trump to the point of he is Hitler. He will murder everybody. He's executing people on the streets. That's a whole ice thing.
Right. He's executing people on on the streets. So anything he does, because remember the whole point of rejecting anything that he comes up with is based on the fact that he's a dictator,
“that he's authoritarian, that he's Hitler. Yeah. And that's what's going on in this country.”
And that's why you object to anything that he does. You don't. I was looking on the blogs that the people are furious at the media would even be there and hold the White House correspondent's dinner with the president. Why are they with the president? Yeah. You know, why are they even with him? They're not supposed to even do anything with him. You're not supposed to go to the White House. You're supposed to do everything is no matter what he does, you're supposed
to say no to why. Yeah. Because he is unacceptable as president. Why would he be unacceptable because he's ruling as a dictator like Hitler and he's a fascist. None of it's true. None of it's true. In fact, the funny thing is, as we talked about yesterday, is every major position that he holds today is what he held 20 years ago. With the media, the leftist media loved Donald Trump. Love him. Hollywood loved him. The
left media loved him. They adored him. You know, if if Trump was like, for example, every major Democrat on immigration that held 180 degree different opinion, just a decade ago. Right. And reversed it completely. You might have a point. Right. Yeah. You could say, well, I was with them, you know, or whatever. And, and I liked them then because of this, and now he's changed. Well,
“the only thing that changed for Donald Trump is that he put an R by his name when he ran for president.”
Well, and the only thing when you see the the most criticism that comes in from to him
are from now marginalized Republicans who believed and we never, we never did. We don't buy that
that he was much more of a isolationist slash pacifist. Yeah. And we said, no, he's not. And we've said that over and over again. Right. No, he's not. No, he's not. No, he's not. We, he just doesn't want boots on the ground. He doesn't want U.S. lives to be lost when we have technology that can do a lot of the different things. But I never bought into the fact, and you know, why, because Trump grew up during the Cold War, if you grew, if you grew up during the Cold War,
you understand what communism is, you understand truly what Islamic radicalism is,
You understand the narratives that exist that have created certain societies ...
absolutely oppressive and you understand fully the clear difference between the free society and those other societies. Though, you know, as he made the point, let's that which is where Magga came from, make America great again. It was to separate ourselves from those societies that the
left has looked to basically put us on the same moral standard or put them on the same moral standard,
other societies, whether it's communism or whether it is extremists that want to kill Americans, the left has made every attempt. I mean, one of the first things that Obama did was went on the apology to it. Yeah. And for everybody who's electricity prices, any liberal, if you're
“screaming about electricity prices, remember that was one of the major goals of Obama when he”
became president, right, was to skyrocket your electricity prices. Yes, and you're cheering him on for it. Yeah, you're cheering him. So there's a two term president. But I mean, I just I love it. The
Charles Cook column because it's just like he's just so irritating. I just find that Obama has always
been easy to tear apart, but I agree with his analysis. He is a vicious partisan, but he tries to come across his, you know, contemplating and judicious and grimmer grappling that I have this higher intelligence that, you know, the whole thing on gay marriage that we knew was a lie on Grappling with it. There are many things shot up. Yeah. You know, exactly what you think on it. But he believed that the people that voted for him were complete idiots and would buy anything that he said,
“even if it wasn't believable. Well, with Obama carry, remember the couple in California,”
we supported Obama care. We helped to promote Obama care. We didn't know we were going to have to pay for it. You can't do simple math. Those of us that were calling him a liar. And by the way,
we'd never take that lightly. We don't just throw out that they're telling a lie. We tell you
why they're telling a lie. It's because they know the truth and they're saying the opposite. And there is, there is no, there's no in between. It is a clear lie if we call them a liar and say they're lying. We'll demonstrate how they're lying. If you love your doctor, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, if you love your doctor, you might just want to find out the doctor that's. But if you like your policy, you can keep your policy. And we said,
“he knows that is not true because it requires that they're going to force the doctors to accept”
whatever new policy that they're going to come up with. And that's not going to happen. And we knew at the time. And like I said, when we call somebody, you know, when we talk about the the part of our society that has institutionalized racism through identity politics, right, that's the Democrats. And everybody, we explain how. We just don't say there are races. We say, we, yeah, you support that. And the Democratic Party supports it. Their own party
is called them out for judging people by groups and not individuals. So where it comes from, when they say that ISIS is is conducting raids on American citizens. Yeah, that's a lot. That was a lie. Or the absolute misogyny of the radical transgender movement, the sexism and misogyny, which is unbelievable, we can base it on what the behavior actually is and what they are promoting each and every day. Yep. And that's the difference. They just throw out the words,
the incendiary rhetoric without explaining why. Right. Yep. And if they do have an explanation, it's the only explanation I've seen that why Trump is Hitler. Well, he's put through executive orders that are found to be unconstitutional. Well, if that's your standard, then Obama was Hitler. Exactly. And Biden was Hitler. Exactly. Every single president has been Hitler. Yes. If that's your definition of what defines some a president as Hitler,
everyone would be Hitler for executive orders that have been overturned. Exactly. We are Red Eye Radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Hartley. It's Red Eye Radio. We are in a radio and he's our current. I'm Gary McNamara. All right, just to correct something that's been out there for a while and it was reported yesterday that secret service agents
Aren't being paid.
have still been paid during the shutdown. Okay. Okay. All right. They have been paid. Their support staff has not been paid and some agents have had to put work expenses on their personal credit card. Okay. But those that are right there, the front line, that you know, the jump in front of the president. Yeah. They are being paid. I don't think anybody knew that until Malusion came out with it. Right. But again, I mean, I don't know Trump may have said. I mean,
I don't know if they're being paid because they're always being paid, whether that's in there
that the front line has to be paid or whether Trump opening up that money also paid the front line
“secret service agents. Right. Which, by the way, would be money well spent. Yes, absolutely.”

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. I am one happy camper. Oh, are you? My 2003 vehicle? Yes. Past inspection yesterday. Oh, wow. Now, the inspection in Texas really is now is just emissions emissions control. But that's a big thing because it's a 2003
“vehicle and if it doesn't pass, that means what? And I think I, I think you have to get both”
catalytic converters. Yeah, yeah. I might have junked the car if they said it. Yeah, no, it's just expensive for just one. I remember on my old 2004 truck replacing one and I said, you know,
because I knew my son actually was, was managing the shop where I took it. And they told me,
look, when one goes, it's not going to be long for the other goes. So you save in labor costs, I've replacing both of them at the same time, but it's still. I mean, it's a, it's a percolian task. It's a big job, a very expensive job, depending on the vehicle and, and yeah, you got to get that done. So by the way, everything is all my, my dealership. It was in a month ago. Yeah. And everything's fine. But every time I bring it in, they do a full inspection
of it. Right. But anything. Now, if you lived in an outline county, you don't even have to get the
“emissions test. I mean, I think I'm outlining enough. Well, I was going to say you're pretty much”
on the edge. Well, I'm a minute from cows. Yeah, exactly. You know, it was interesting. I used to be 30 seconds from cows, but you know, they're building, they, they built a little subdivision in there. You know, we had, we had my brother's service, a graveside service at the other day on Saturday. And as, as we approach, I look over to the left and there's a field adjacent to the cemetery. There's, there's an oil rig. It's working, a little oil rig. What up? No, that's, that is so taxes.
And then, um, what was it just a few hours later? We're getting into severe weather with a oil and, you know, the springtime weather, I said, well, nope. This is where this is definitely Texas. The, the entire day had a, had a Texas field, which, which I felt was appropriate to. And, you know, I, I, I thought about just kind of the, you know, the, the culture of Texas. Because you go, not far south from there. I mean, it's a small town where it was held, but you go,
just a few minutes south of there. Of course, even smaller towns, as you go through, start going through West Texas and everything else. And, um, you think about that. But, yeah, they don't have, they don't have to, as of, a couple of years ago, they don't have to get a mission status in those counties, only the large counties, but most populated counties have to. So, but yes, so I mean, this is going to last, at least till next year, which makes
it 24 years old. Yeah. And even a couple of years ago, you know, they, they were getting to the point, uh, I remember, uh, the, my, uh, the little computer module that had, right, yeah, it wasn't working
Right.
right. We're making them anymore. Yeah. Yeah. So, they had to grab it from another, you know,
“another old vehicle. Right. And, and put it in that didn't work. They put the other one back in,”
it started working again. Yeah. And it's been working. That was five years ago, and it's the same thing still working, but yeah. It's like, I'm one, anything breaks. I've done, now I want to repair away. I did check the, the blue book value. Yeah. It's worth between $1200 and $2,000. Now, trade in six to 700, but I bet I'm one of those, I bet on some sites you might get a little more. You know, I, I don't know, maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong. But, but it is one of those that is a little
bit easier to service. This is what I love about my son. My son works in the automotive industry, and he works for one of the companies that has, that is the extended warranty company. Right. So he oversees approvals and everything else and things like that and has a great understanding of which vehicles, because they see the vehicles that are coming in. Of course, four repairs of things that go bad. But it's helping us with our oldest granddaughters who are have saved their own money
through working jobs and everything else, and they're purchasing these cash cars. And so he will be able to help them and he has with each of them. This is a good car because it's easier to service. Right. So the girls probably that my oldest grandchildren are, are girls. They probably aren't
“going to do much of the oil changes or anything else. But if you have to get something fixed,”
it would cost less because parts are available. It's easier to service. It has fewer breakdowns
or whatever it might be. And that's always helpful insight. Well, my the vehicles at 2003
Mazda Tribute, which was the joint venture between Ford and Mazda. Right. I think it was made to say Lewis. Yeah. The Ford, it was, it was based on the Ford escape, but the I had driven the Ford escape and didn't like the ride. Right. The frame was a little different from what I, what I, you know, it looked like the same. I think your chassis was a bit different. Yeah. The chassis was, it drove a lot of better. You're higher, too. I mean, my, my, my newer vehicle,
which somebody was in my car a couple of weeks ago went, you still got a new car smell in there and I go, I guess I've never eaten food in here. Yeah. I just don't eat food when I, you know, well, we travel a lot. We have no choice. We've got to eat. Yeah. You know, it's, it's, uh, my truck still has that new waterberger smell. But, uh, you know, and, and I'm like, okay, well, maybe looking for 27 or 28. Are you going to get that, you're, you're, you're talking to the
service people. You're going to get rid of the, what do they call it, the, the cylinder deactivation. And, and I don't want to be pushing the button. I don't push buttons to, to keep the engine from turning off, you know, when I get to a stop, I, I can't deal with that. If you can't get rid of those, I don't know what kind of vehicle I'm going to buy. Now they did. I mean, Congress did say, you don't need the, the, the, the, uh, start stop anymore. I don't know about cylinder deactivation,
but the 2003 is six cylinder. So that's got a lot of picking up. Right. You know, it's, and so, but, uh, I, uh, when I bought the new vehicle nine years ago, nine years ago, I bought it. So, I was only going to keep it for maybe five years and put, because I'm only putting five thousand miles on the old one. Right. And it's a great vehicle. And, you know, I go to Home Depot, throw all the stuff in there. And it's a great, and insurance was nothing, because I'm an old man,
you know, the insurance didn't cost anything. Right. And, uh, and it's so, it's like, even,
“I don't know, do I, I don't think I don't think I have, can't remember five collision on it or not.”
But I mean, it was super, I mean, I'm talking less than $500. Right. When insurance, I mean, so insurance was nothing, I paid for it and cash, way back then. So it's a great vehicle to
get, and it's, when, you know, when you do this kind of job, it's always great when you live
28 miles away to have a second vehicle. And case the one doesn't start. That all sits in the back of my mind. But, uh, yes. So, uh, but any major thing that goes wrong, I'm screwed. It's, it's gone at that point. I'm not going to, you know, get it? It's, uh, you know, I was, I just saw a video pop up on my YouTube came up in the algorithm, but the, the, the best years of, of trucks to own if you have one of these keep it, because they'll, they'll last a long time. And it goes back to the, uh, one of
them was the, the Chevy, uh, a Toyota's, the Toyota's, some of the older Toyota's, uh, an Toyota's for that, uh, and I think it was the Tacoma and the older Tondra, uh, but the Gen 3 and Gen 4,
I think LS engines from GM, uh, so that would be Chevy and GM trucks, uh, fro...
those LS engines. I mean, the gear heads love those LS engines, love to rebuild them and
and put them in, I wish I'd kept my 2004 Silverado, and because it had room, I had to be six in it, but I could have, I had room for an LS V8, and if I would have been thinking, I probably would have kept it around and, and done that, just to keep it as a work truck. The only problem I've had is you're going to have occasionally fuel injectors go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the only other thing was spark coils. Yeah. And you got to get the spark coils fixed, because it'll blow off the
catalytic converters really quick at the spark coil arm isn't working in that sparking. Yeah. And, and so when I did that, there's six of them in there. So when I got one changed, I changed
all three in the front, or in the back, because I said, the back is impossible to get to.
You want us to put in all new spark coils in the back. Right. One, because it's just a labor to get in there. I can't remember what it was. So they did all three of them. When the front one went, they replaced
“all three. Yeah. And then I think maybe one or two fuel injectors, but the fuel injectors were actually”
covered not on a warranty, but the because of the, uh, the, I got the fuel injector service. Yeah. And because I got the fuel injector service and used the, it's warranted by the people that make the chemicals that's part of the deal they had with the dealerships. So when I had a couple fuel injectors, they were taken care of. So it really has been a great vehicle. I mean, I've had the brake lines replaced. I mean, you just have to just normal. Yeah, rust and stuff like that,
but the suspension is still killer. I'm, yeah. I'm telling you, one of the, if you live up north, one of the best reasons to move down south. Yeah. If you can have a 23 year old vehicle that still runs the suspension feels like it's not. And I remember my dad had a couple of old cars be like you're driving. Oh, man. Yeah. That's the thing. If you're resting, you've got to, I mean, if you're going to buy an older vehicle, it's worth it to buy a car fax or something to find out
where the, yeah, you used to live, right? Uh, because if you find out on any coastline, and it could happen on the Texas coastline, there's, there's so much salt water in the air, but more aptly, it in, in the north where they're putting salt on the roads during the, and it, it, it just, it will, it will just heat the frame. Well, 257,000 miles on it, and as my dealership told me, no, no, there's, some of the, a couple of few people that bring in, they still got them,
350 to 400,000 they put on them. Yeah. Because I'm only putting on like I said, 5,000 or less a year. Right. And so, there's really not much maintenance to do because you're not really, and it's great to have that second vehicle. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. So, we'll see. But they got to get rid, they got to get rid of the cylinder deactivation, and that's stupid,
“start, and I don't Congress did that, which we said was the best thing that Trump ever did.”
Yeah. Because it really puts it, let's get rid of that. Right. I just wonder how much problem there is with starters on that. Well, we made the starters better. You made the starters better than, you know, when, and when I would start it once in a day, you know, to drive it somewhere, and if I drove it somewhere just 20 miles, it might stop. Yeah. And then the starter has to restart it
20 times. Yeah. And you're telling me they built it for that. I've never replaced the starter in my vehicle.
Right. Yeah. Transmission never been placed. Right. And there doesn't seem to be any type of, you know, with the, what do you call it, the torque converter, you know, how they, they can wear out. No problem with that, no problem with the transmission. Hold it. Yeah. Knock on simulated wood grain plastic. I need to knock on simulated. I need to knock on wood, shut up Gary. Yeah. Shut up. Yeah. I know. Don't say anything. I know. Okay. Yeah. We've been,
we've been traveling a lot in my truck and I told my wife the other day. I said, you know, I'm probably about 10 to 12,000 miles away from needing tires. You know, just thinking, put the start, put in some money away from that for that. And then I thought to myself, and I've got a lot more traveling to do for these, for some family business, including when we get out of here. And I thought to myself, I hope I didn't jinx my stuff on my tires. I would be on this
side of the road at 4 a.m. But yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's, if you do a little research,
“and I think there's enough, you don't have to be a gear head, but I think there's enough”
information now to do the research to find, you know, cars that are going to be around for a while. They've really in the later years in order to comply with fuel standards and everything else.
It's just created such a mess.
just aren't. And, you know, everybody's adding a turbo because, you know, they're lowering the number of cylinders. And it's like, that's not how you get it done. A lot of the turbos aren't selling. Yeah, I know. And in my, because, you know, because I have the monster tribute, and I've asked about the new 2026 is like the CX5's. Yeah. No turbo. Yeah. They're coming out with a hybrid. Right. And I laughed yesterday, I said hybrid. Yeah. Like I want double the redundancy
when it's not needed by all the problems. Right. There's twice as many problems, maybe not twice.
“But there's there's 60% more of what could go wrong. And, you know, that's what I don't want,”
but exactly, but they're complaining that the engines aren't powerful enough, but they took the
turbo out. Nobody was buying the turbo. Right. But the CX5, which they're, they're best selling brand. The, the turbo's gone. Right. Nobody was by 89% were buying the, the regular ones. Right. Right. That's the thing. You said to go, oh, turbo all this guy. And it's more stuff that can go wrong. More stuff that can go wrong. Yeah. More stuff expensive stuff. Right. And then the weight, they said the weight, the battery, battery weight. Yeah. And I don't want to be replacing batteries
after a year's. Yeah. Or whatever that would be. Right. Because as you may come to realize,
“I run my cars into the ground. Yeah. I'm driving the daylight. It's out of my truck. I bought”
it to drive. Yeah. We, we are right. I radio. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by House products tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. A second round of USDA's supplemental
disaster relief program payments are being issued starting this week. This critical program
provides targeted assistance to producers to help them recover from losses they suffered from natural disasters in 2023 and 2024. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Missouri prior to this past weekend. Audio courtesy of Browfield Ag Network. Originally the site-up deadline for both stages of the program was set for Thursday. We are now extending that until August 12th of this year.
“This extension gives producers and our FSA more time to address e-program application changes.”
That might impact payments. Also, payment factors originally set at 35%, now increased to 70%. With approved SDRP applicants now receiving an additional 35% and future approved applications utilizing a 70% payment factor.

We are when I radio. He's here currently and I'm Gary McNamara. I guess we were going to talk about the sooner or later. I'm going to talk about it now because I just saw this on Instagram from its Republican Army. I'm not familiar with who they are, so as Republican Army. Right. Is the page sure what Jimmy Kimmel said was over the line, but I just think he should be fired because he shows socks and he's a terrible comedian. Yes, so the president calling for that
happening to happen yesterday on truth social because of this joke that that he told before this was before the attempted assassination on Saturday night. It was last week at
some point and one joke during the bit during that show. Our first lady Melania is here,
look at Melania. So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow. That was the joke. So he repeated the same thing. This is breaking news from the near post. Breaking news. Breaking news. It's less than a couple hours old. He repeated the tasteless joke verbatim and his Monday night monologue following a failed assassination attempt on President Trump's life after Melania called for him, him out for hateful and violent rhetoric.
And he tried to explain it away as he insisted that the joke was about Melania's age difference and the look of joy we see on her face whenever she and Trump are together. That's garbage.
That's a lie.
lady is hoping that the president would pass or expecting the president to pass at some point soon.
“That's, we can, we know, we know what words mean, Jimmy, whether he gets fired or not,”
you know, that's up to ABC, but this is who they are. They don't care anything about comedy. It's about the hate for Trump. [Music] Catch Red Eye Radio Live every night on the Red Eye Radio App, available in the App Store. Red, red, green, green.

“Clueless on the left. Coming up at a minute and half. You know, when it comes to supplements,”
there are two things that matter the most with everyone. It works and you can trust it. I've been taking really factor for a while now and I'm telling you, it works and you can trust it. Dr. Nixon, the man behind relief factor, came home from the Vietnam War wounded and decided to go into studying medicine and that led to becoming a doctor and then creating relief factor. Drug free relief for his patients, by the way, he had, he had, he basically built this whole thing
on providing drug free pain relief for his patients and so much admiration for Dr. Nixon. And I love relief factor because I don't have to worry about the pain before after or during chores or exercise or whatever I'm doing. The aches and pains, thanks to relief factor, are no longer a big deal in my everyday life and I'm so grateful. I want you to get the same and
here's what you do. You try relief factors three week quick start 1995. Go to relieffactor.com,
800 the number four relief that's relieffactor.com, or call 800 the number four relief it works. Use red eye at the drop down for your three week quick start of relief factor at 1995. You know, we're talking about Jimmy Kimmel and he's another one. He's no longer a comedian. He's a political activist. But one of the first rules in comedy, the only one who really got away with it, at least in my lifetime, was Johnny Carson explaining a joke. You had to explain a joke.
Yeah. You've already lost. Well, that's it. And you know, it is a tasteless joke on many levels. There's been jokes over the years about women who marry older rich guys, right? I mean, those jokes have been around for it. This is a very different situation.
I mean, it hasn't happened in my life, by the way. I want you to know what yet. It's always time.
Just still time. You know, right there. It's still time. Wow. You're at least you have 23. We have a lot in common. Well, actually, we have nothing in common. You're hot. I'm not. You're young. I'm not. Exactly. It's aside for the blue hair. Her is not yours.
“Right. And here's the thing, you know, with Kimmel, we know where it's coming from.”
And then it's a shot. It's one of these gut punches coming from him. Because, honestly, it is in relation, the building of that joke is in relation to the previous attempts on President Trump's life. Jimmy Kimmel, I knew that. Now, I can't tell you that Jimmy Kimmel knew that the shooter was going to be at the White House Correspondence Center. Right. No, but when that very serious event happened, and it wasn't just Trump that was in
the line of fire that night. The alleged shooter wrote about it that civilians, I'm not
Looking to take out unless they shoot at me.
getting my way, you know, that's what he implied in his writings to his family. And if even the
“reporters, if they, you know, if they get in the way, I'm just because they chose to attend this.”
Exactly. As if, okay, you know, you're a part of this because you chose to attend it, which I also saw on X when it was announced, Trump was going to be there and it was like, why are these reporters even showing? They shouldn't show at all. They should just say, sorry, we're canceling it because you cannot be in the same room with him. If you wanted to as a liberal,
as a far left liberal right to Joe can say, you always have that that slight smile on your face,
Mrs. Trump, and a very sweet look, and you look happy, and that must come from knowing you're the smart one of the family, or something, you know what I mean? And just implied that the president is an idiot, then no harm, no foul. But at the basis of the joke, was him implying that the first lady is expecting like others, the president to be gone. And that right here is the nature of that joke. It is, which isn't a joke at all. It's not funny. And it is,
“it's one of those things where there were so many options. If you want to be a comedian,”
a late night comedian, if you're trying to be funny, and he tries real hard, I don't think he ever
achieves it. But if you're trying to be a late night comedian, there are so many options, again, you know, call him an idiot, whatever. If you're looking for some funny, there's plenty of material out there for any given president or public figure, you can find something funny. That wasn't funny. That was based on a gut punch on something very real, which was multiple, even before Saturday night, multiple attempts on President Trump's life. Look, I think that with
Kimmel, I don't care whether he told the joke about her being the smart one or whatever. It's all
lost its impact on somebody who is an independent thinker because you know he's a political activist.
Yes, his goal is to be as vicious as he possibly can at Republicans. Johnny Carson could have gotten away with, he got away with murder all the time, because it wasn't viewed as serious. Right. It wasn't you, you didn't have this, you didn't have this impression of this see-thing hatred that Kimmel has for Republicans, conservatives, Trump, whatever, you can feel that you can see it in his face. It's a radical activist. There's a see-thing anger,
which takes out any type to me of joy that would come from a joke to begin with, because you know where it's, you know where it's coming from, and you know, you look at people have talked about
“Carlin, and I think Carlin was one of the best comedians ever. When he got old and got bitter and”
angry, it seemed that was the sticky was plain. It wasn't as funny as when he was curious. Right. If that makes sense, there was almost a thing where I just don't like this and I can't stand you anymore and whatever. And a little bit to that, but it seemed to, that was one of the criticisms, you know, later on. But I still think overall, you know, he was, he might have been a, I think, and maybe that's the natural progression with social media and you know, you look in
the 90s when political correctness started coming in, which really came from the left. And then you had people like Carlin go crazy. Remember Carlin sang on climate change. Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. I mean, that was just, you know, genius. But you're almost as government got more absurd in what they, what they were doing. As the left got more absurd, even today, you know, with a, what's his name on the, the radical transgender movement,
I got my blank here, where he backed off last week. Well, Republicans took this and, you know, taken and weaponized. Oh, Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle weaponized. And we're like, stop, Dave, don't be a coward. Yeah. You set it on it. Right. You know, and that's the point, say it on it. When Kimmel was backtracking and explaining a joke, you know, you've lost at that point. Right.
And, you know, that's it.
You know, where, in this case, he didn't, he didn't apologize at all, according to the story in the New York Post. You and I don't watch late night television. We're busy doing this. And, well, even if I was in busy doing this, I wouldn't watch. I might watch Byron Allen's comedian show when it comes on later. Oh, yeah. I have to, I was going to say, I have to take it. You know, I, I know what you got a VCR. I know a guy just your social media who works for him.
Yeah. But I know and I know this guy. Yeah. I just as first I'm Eric. I know him. I know him because
“remember when X and Facebook first came out. Yeah. That the actor Robbie Rist, you know, who was”
on the Brady Bunch. Right. Oliver in the Brady Bunch. Mm-hmm. Whatever. He had played in a bayonato. Sharknado. Sharknado and one of the greatest deaths ever. Yeah, yeah. Sharknado. Yeah. It was the voice of Michael Angelo in Teenage Mutant, Ninja Turtles. Right. Worked with the day, which worked, by the way. It was a great voice for that. A character. He did a series with David Hartman to a kid. Lucas Tanner. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Lucas. Yeah. He was on Lucas.
Looks like a little John Denver. Well, he did back then. He's now. And really nice guy.
I still communicate him. We just don't talk about politics once in a while.
But he played with a guy. I know very well. Another guitar singer Paul Pope and they had a band together when they were in LA. Yeah. And then, you know, Paul just retired recently. But he'd played for years. And we would get into it. And it was really around Obamacare. And that's where I realized I cannot argue on social media anymore. I can't do it. Right. Because we started like a noon one day. And at midnight, I was still going back and forth. Yeah. And hadn't got
got anywhere with him. Yeah, it takes away too long. And, and I was pounding because he was throwing out some pretty radical leftist stuff. Robbie was at the time. Eric came and defended me. And
then I I followed him over the years and realized he works for Byron Allen. Right. And he was just,
“I think he got a kick out of out of my debating back and forth. Because I mean, that's not it. That's”
not it. That's. And again, it was useless. It's like when you talk to a liberal today, you don't get anywhere with it. Well, I don't know that. I don't pay attention to anything in the news. Right. Well, then how do you come up with the opinion? Right. You formed your opinion. I got this defended in a position that he's Hitler. Right. But he's not. There's no evidence that shows he's Hitler. Let's look at here. I don't believe anything I read. Well, then how do you know he's
Hitler? Right. And then look at you with this blank stare. And, and you know, that's, that's the thing, is that it, it, it is activism. Late night talk shows on TV are were, were bound to age out. And it was because it wasn't, it's not like it used to be. You know, when you and I talked about it the other day, we talked about it, and I'd during the break a few minutes ago. Carson was really, if you think about it, it was like an early podcast. It was him. And yeah, at times some of his
buddies hanging out because he was friends with all of the, with many of them, that would come out. And, you know, even had dancing girls that go and, and Margaret would come on the show. And. But it was part of that, uh, that kind of late night feel, uh, corny by today. Yeah, the comedy today stand. The comedy was like a series of dad jokes or, you know, corny, political jokes, aren't I? Not meant to be, yeah. Oh, Karnak was just, and it was funny because
of you knew how it was put together and why it was put together. But it was kind of hanging out. And mom and dad, you know, putting the kids to bed, and then before going to bed, and my dad, back when it was 90 minutes, it would go to midnight, central time. And my dad would watch that whole thing. And if I was quiet enough, I could either look out my bedroom door, and because I was wanted to watch rich little and other, uh, comedians. And I, or I could sit there and listen to it. And then,
at one point, I was sleeping on the top bunk, and if I pulled the shades up into reflection of the window, and my room, I could see the TV out in the living room. And I, I would watch that. But it changed
“over the years. When Letterman, I think, started becoming more of an activist. And that's exactly”
what happened. And you, I mean, you talk about George Carlin, all of them, as they got older, they just became bitter. Letterman was funny. Yeah. When he started. And now he's not. We are right
On our radio.
We are Red Eye Radio. He is our Carlin. I'm Gary McNamara. You know, thinking about Jimmy Kimmel
“and, uh, the, the fact that, uh, Cober is, is going away, losing 20 million, 20, over 20 million a year.”
Uh, 20, some set is highest 40 million. Yeah, uh, a year, which is unbelievable that is show would even break even or lose any money and still be in existence. Yeah. And the real
question about Timmel's future is, what's the bottom line? What do they make? Because as we know,
with Cober, they've just, the network just decided we're going to go with paid programming. Right.
“Because Byron Allen's company is paying for that. They're simply buying the two hours right from the”
network and going to sell it themselves. So really, at that point they're saying, this time isn't worth any of our effort. Right. And so what is we won't, it was saying, in fact, that we're
turning it around instead of losing up to 40 million a year, we're going to be making however much
Byron Allen is paying them. If they make one dollar, they're, they're, they're $20 million. They're $1 per dollar ahead. Exactly. They've turned it around by tens of millions of dollars.
