Welcome to the show from the Relief Factor Studios.
This is Red Eye Radio. All across America. We're Red Eye Radio.
“He is Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara.”
Good morning. Hello. Well, apparently, my city is made national news. Yeah? We're any here from the near post.
And I still don't fully understand the story yet. There's questions that I have. Right. And here from the near post, Texas City scrapped a Muslim-only holiday event hosted by an Islamic group at a taxpayer-funded water park hours after Governor Greg Abbott threatened
to pull state funding if it went forward. Grand Prairie Texas City officials asked the upcoming Muslim-eat event at Epic indoor park on Wednesday night. By the way, I go buy it every single day on my way to work and on my way back from work. It's right around the corner from my vet.
Okay. Not my vet. My cat's vet. Right. You don't get treated there.
No. No. I'm not like Kramer taking the dog pills. Right. But it's interesting because the Fox story that I've been before has that they doesn't
have that they have the Grand Prairie Axiom event. And I saw that on X when I was coming into work, Grand Prairie officials axed the upcoming event at Epic indoor park Wednesday night shortly after the Republican Governor warned Mayor Ron Jensen that the state would Yang 530,000 in public safety grants, if the gathering initially advertised as exclusively reserved for Muslims wasn't shut down.
After further review and in the best interest of the city of Grand Prairie, the June 1 event at Epic Water's indoor water park has been canceled. The city spokesperson told the post in a statement earlier Wednesday, Abbott fired off a blistering letter to the city blasting the department of public works at Epic event held at the city owned indoor park for the past two years as discriminatory and a constitutional
violation after it was initially closed to the public and strictly catered to Muslim attendees. Now, here's my question that I have because this is where this is where I have questions on the law. If you, there are places for example, we used to play, we used to run out a hockey ring all the time. And it was just a group of us playing hockey. Now, we weren't in any event. But if they rent it out, were they going to rent the entire place? Because
if Catholics wished to rent, if there was a Catholic group that wished to rent it or press material in group that wished to rent it. And so obviously, it would be press material
“only because you're all press materialians. If you rent it, does that violate state law?”
It's city owned, it's city owned property. And I think that's where the problem is that
the governor had is if it were a privately owned skating rink or venue. And you go in and you book it for a private event, then you can have whoever and exclude whoever you want. But if it's city owned, then it's unconstitutional based on the fact that it was that other religions, people of other religions would not be able to attend. So then they, it, it appears because it appeared to me that they rented it out. Right. That they, which means
you pay, you pay to rent it. I didn't, I didn't see that verbatim. But either by, that's my question. I haven't seen that. But I think if it's city owned property, I don't know if, again, they, if that's all. Well, for example, you, I know you couldn't go in and you couldn't for example say, okay, we're the KKK and we're having the KKK water park party. Or if
For example, was a city owned outdoor pool and they had the KKK tanning party.
Which might cause some controversy. Right. You know, if you were the KKK or the white
area, the white area nations tanning party, you know, might not go over, you know, well, even with some of your own members. Well, you know, there was one time when they tried to book a, an event where they were going to go to a park, a city owned park and clean up the trash. But it turns out they were only going to pick up the white trash. So that you shut down. No, my, my point is you can't, you, for example, you couldn't, right, you
couldn't, for example, say we are renting the city owned property for a wide only event.
“Right. Right. So you have to basically, you cannot have rules that are against this”
discrimination of, of the, and I'm assuming if it was city owned. Mm-hmm. I don't even
know how they fly. I can't remember how they funded, they probably funded it with the sales tax. Yeah, I don't know about it in terms of the bill. Or is it just the fact that there's government, I, I'll have to do some research on it because I'm still a little bit confused by the story. But it is city owned. And so you can do that with city owned property. You can have groups come in where it would discriminate. And that's exactly what the governor, where
the governor replied to pressure. He said, this is unconstitutional. Does that mean a mega church can't rent it out? Likely, that they were going to exclude and say, no, there's
“because originally, this is going to be a Muslim home allowed in. Right. And based on that,”
they said, no, now, had they rented it out and said, a Muslim, a group of us, Muslims are
going to be there. But anybody can come in. And they were going to allow anybody in that might, but if you pay to rent something, right, you get to choose who you want. And anybody can't come into a private function. But not with the city property. Yeah. Well, no. Hey, I'm Chris Fambley. Go behind the scenes and beyond the headlines with the biggest names in pro wrestling and beyond you could pop up in WWE tomorrow. Would Serie be there or would
page be there? Hey, 1 hundred percent. So when you're setting up Logan Paul to frog splash you through the announce table, it's going through your mind. This should make every headline
“in the world an excess, right? In Jelly Roll. We knew we had that kind of a moment. Mindset,”
motivation and what it takes to succeed. Insight with Chris Fambley. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. No, not based on not based on that. You could say our group of workers wore this particular organization that that might past constitutional muster, but if it's based on religion, you can't. And if you go in and you try and rent it and say, okay, this ethnicity only, you also can't do that. Right. Exactly. Right.
So we're the law actually goes and what the what the what the the limits are, but it blew up pretty quickly. Yeah. In fact, I got some emails going, Gary, what's going on in your tongue, huh? Well, I didn't even know about it until yesterday morning. It wasn't that well, publicized. Right. Until really started yesterday afternoon. Right. Where we became an national story and you started seeing it everywhere. I didn't even see it. For example,
I didn't see it on next door. I see everything on next door in my neighborhood. Yeah. And they complain about everything on next door. Who's letting their cats out or who let the dogs out? We'll let the dogs out. Who? Who? Yeah. But we know that the the muslim only community that was supposed to be up near Plano. That's that's done. You can't have that. Right. You can't have that really for. Right. And any type of which would which would violate the state
and federal rights of people. Right. You'll remove where you wish to move. Right. So, but yeah, I just I've still a few questions on it. I just just to get into the minutia of the law and exactly what the scenario was. Because initially it was like I thought, what do you mean? You can't have a it's open to everybody and you're saying it's a muslim only event. Well, are you running it? What? I was confused. And I'm still confused with that.
I don't know whether they actually rented it. You were the you have the same thing. You didn't see where they specifically said we rented out and paid for it. No, I didn't see that.
Even if you do that, if you discriminate on the basis of religion in the stat...
Texas, you can't do it. Because it is government owned property and city owned property. So you can't do that. So which gets into another thing should our city be funding a water park, but that's for another day. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm assuming there's a user fee that
“applies that you have to pay. Oh, yeah. Some kind of admission to get in right. Yeah. Yeah.”
Yeah. The senior citizen center is right there. Mm-hmm. Right. And you know how I know that? Mm-hmm. You get invitations all the time? No, because I I joined it to swim and then I actually because it didn't cost me nothing because I think my insurance covered it.
Mm-hmm. But I think that's also city owned, which is right now. I never went. I ended up going.
Right. It was like a Cramer episode. Yeah. It was like a, it was another sign fell up as so I went in there and I'm like, look, and who are these old people? I don't want it. I don't want to be around all these old people. That's right. Gary your old. They're doing water belly. And, and, and then as soon as I walked out, it was like the Cramer, a del bulk of vista.
“All of a sudden, all these, I'm going to my car and all these ambulances pull up. They're taking”
somebody out. It happens. Yeah. So, but I never, it's, it's like, uh, eight miles from my house and I'm like, uh, I just, I like having a pool, I can swim in right outside my door. I like having a
bike I can ride. I like having the gym in my house. Right. Anything else takes too much time in my life.
I don't have the time. By the way, WFAA phrases it as a private rental. That's a, uh, a TV station here in in Dallas, also a news partner of our flagship WVAP, um, but from WFAA.com, the city initially said it was working to ensure all policies and procedures were followed with the private rental. But pull the plug of the event when say after the governor threatened to pull $530,000 in state public safety grants unless it was canceled. Uh, again, um, the governor posted on ex. It's religious discrimination.
It's unconstitutional. That this will be a lesson to local officials, uh, facilities funded by all tax payers are not just for a subset of Texans. So there you have it. So that means you couldn't if it was Presbyterian or Baptist, you could not have a Baptist only, right, rental. Right.
“Is that the state constitution or federal constitution? Uh, I think it is states. I think it's the”
state constitution. But like you can go into certain indoor facilities and you can, like hotels, you can rent ball rooms, right. It's, by the way, it's, it's an indoor water park. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you can, so you could, you could, if they said, okay, we're going to have a room where we're going to have a gathering. If they have that, I don't know. But if they had that, uh, you can go to, uh, lots of facilities and rent part of the facility for a certain gathering.
Since this is city owned, they, I don't know if there could have been a compromise for them to say, okay, we're going to rent out part of this. But the thing is you wouldn't get exclusive access to it. And the point would be is that the Muslim group that wanted to rent it wanted to have this Muslim only gathering is that they wanted what they considered to be proper attire. And if you include, if it was going to include and allow for others to be there,
that we're not Muslim, they couldn't control that. So that would be the conflict with them. I'm guessing. On the other thing is, if you rent it out, you're not renting it out. It's not, not like when we used to play hockey and you play it one in the morning. You're rented out during normal hours, which means you'd be closing it down for the public. Right. Yeah. And again, unless you were just renting out a certain space of it, part of the event you, but in this case,
there's really, I don't see a way to do that. It wasn't a way to do that. You know, because you want to access to all the, the entire park. You know, it's a whole point. You know, I've thought of going, but I'm an old man. I don't want to take off my shirt. I don't take off my shirt to shower. So, that's not happening. My shirts are clean though. Tell you that. I, I, I just clean. When I said that, I went back to that
picture that I saw of Iggy Pop the other day with a shirt off. I'm like, oh, no, no, no, I do.
It's got to go back on. We, yeah, dude, come on. Yeah, I first thought it was wearing a leather vest.
So, it was bad.
Yeah, no, no, no. It's just the U factor. Yeah.
Well, you're right. Yeah. We are, we are right, I radio brought to you by FPPF, fuel power max. Owner operator Mike Nichols is leased to Wayne transports, pulling in their dry bulk division today after decades in business for himself. Speaking to Overdrive's Todd Dills recently, Nichols offered a word of advice to any company driver planning to make the switch to running as an owner operator, unless you've got access to family money, or otherwise independently
“wealthy he noted. As a company driver, you need to be thinking about startup capital and down payment.”
And I would just say that you need to treat that like you would firewood, save what you think
you might need, and then triple it, if not quadruple it. And you'll be, you'll be thankful that you did. You'll be glad you did. That is not just given favorable loan terms with a good down payment. Inevitably with trucking, you'll get hit with a breakdown and huge repair bill, or another of those unforeseen events. You'll need that reserve cash to cover it and avoid taking on debt or going out of business. Here more from Overdrive's 2024 trucker of the year contenders at

Coming up, more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carley, it's Red Eye Radio. Where are my radio? He's our croney and I'm Gary McNamara. You know, one of the things that we've been talking about the last couple of days is the California gubernatorial debate than the
“Merrill debate in LA that went on last night. And it's obvious that, you know, and I think”
that's, you know, you're going to look at California as a benchmark of word liberalism has gone and whether they want to continue it. And it's just fascinating to watch all these people, these Democrats that have caused the problem, say they're there to solve the problem, but they want to keep the policies of cause of the problem in place. And interestingly enough, I like this dig a McDonald from Fox businesses who's talking about Katie Porter talking about the fact that
all illegal immigrants should be able to get free healthcare. And then she says, does she even pay attention to what's going on? Here we go. Listen to this here. This is really, this is beautiful. Katie Porter, I love that she wants to be the governor of California and doesn't even know the
“recent history in the state. California spent a decade, a through 2024 opening up medical, which is”
the state Medicaid program, making it available to illegal migrants. Most, and at the very end, it became available even to young working age illegals, medical, wide open, first in the nation state to do that. That lasted two years because so many illegals enrolled in it and it was a massive incentive for people to cross the border and come into the US, into California illegally. It was such a tsunami of in rollies and cost exploded that they had deposit enrollment. So the state froze
new enrollment at the beginning of this year, January 1, for undocumented adults, 19 and no illegals,
because the expansion cost $2.7 billion more than originally projected and California was
saddled with a $12 billion budget deficit. Yeah, so when they're all being asked you, she we have and they're all yep and she's absolutely it's our obligation to do this. It's like they stopped it because they can't afford it. They can't. But look, I'm all for, you know, I've changed a little bit now. I'm all for and please understand anybody who's a conservative in California, but go for it. We've got to have we, we look, we've got federalism states can do what they want
on so many different things. Go ahead. Yeah, sure. Go ahead, tax and daylight's out of everybody, do it. In New York, go do it. We're not going to stop them. So let's stop. If you're a conservative, we should be encouraging them to do this to show that it fails. Unless it fails miserably and blows up in their face, people in this country aren't going to change an independence or still going to sit there and say, government can save me. Government can take care of me.
Someone else can pay my free.
for everybody that's paid for somebody else unless they leave your state. Right. Do it. Go ahead.
Go. Go.
“. Navigating the basalt sphere, every night, every currently and”
Gary McNamara, red, ice, radio. And he's our company. And I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning. Let's play this for a couple of nights ago. Part of the debate here in the question was asked, would you finish the high-speed rail? Yeah. And you see a Basharra answer was great. Low speed delivery of high-speed rail, no, but high-speed delivery over high-speed rail, of high-speed rail. Yes. And I just want to play it because I'm Steve.
I'll go. What the hell is that? Here we go. Here we go. Sheeper than it's been projected. Okay. Share Bianco. No. I would rather arrest the people that
“still are money. All right. That was the kind of brand for you doing things that are really cool.”
No, no, no, no. Spending taxpayers' money on point this things and prove our roads, get you the word that country, because a democrat policy is their style. Yes, we need a secretary of assertion. This low-speed delivery of high-speed rail, no, but a high-speed delivery of high-speed rail. Yes. What does that mean? What is that mean? Well, you know, we do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it. We do it.
And then it got to be like the view there. Yeah. Yeah. Well, of course, CNN. All right. Exactly. Interesting. And it was an advisor to Biden. What's on yesterday? And he said everybody hated Basharra in the Biden administration. They viewed him as the most incompetent. And he was viewed as the absolutely most incompetent person in the whole Biden administration. That came from Democrats. But that's a perfect answer.
Would you continue? Would you finish the high-speed rail? Well, yes. But it wouldn't be low-speed delivery for high-speed rail. It would be high-speed delivery for high-speed rail. They really do believe. They believe that the people of California, somebody like Basharra and the Democrats up there that cause the problems that you have in California, they're going to fix it. Right. They believe that the Democrats in California and the independence
that vote for them are complete idiots. Yeah. They really do. They absolutely do. Absolutely do. Yep. And we'll see if that ever changes. Yeah. We'll see how that turns out. I love it.
“High-speed delivery of high-speed rail. How about the no delivery of the train to nowhere?”
Oh my gosh. What's it up to now? Like 250 billion? Yeah. It's going to keep going up and
up and up and up and up and up and up and up. It's not supposed to be finished. I think that we will have landed on, let here's the question. Okay. Will we have landed on Mars before the high-speed rail is finished in California? We will populate Mars before the high-speed rail is finished in California. Pulling. Pulling. They'll be complaining about overpopulation of Mars before high-speed rail in California is done. There will be protests on Mars. Headturner's airs
will be giving millions of dollars to stop the overpopulation of Mars. And there will be the no Earthling King's rallies on Mars before we see the high-speed rail in California. I don't know who was it. It was a star who said, "Well, we have to get rid of all these litigation." Well, where did the litigation? It's the environmental litigation. The litigation, all the litigation is not coming from Republicans. No. The litigation is coming from all the
environmental rules that you created. Yes. And now you want to get rid of the environmental rules.
I mean, they're talking circles. Yeah. Yeah, they're just they always do. It's just as they always
Just do.
High-speed delivery of high-speed rail. Yes. Yes. Did they workshop that in the meeting? Here's Johnny the answer to this question. Yeah. Probably. Wow. Yeah. Now, let's play this
“this is from a Citadel CEO Ken Griffin who remember, Mundami went in front of his place and said,”
"We're gonna tax this guy." Yeah. Because he has a, what, $200 million place or whatever.
Right. Yeah. We're gonna tax him. Well, he made it clear. Okay. We're gonna be moving jobs out of New York City. Made a clear on CNBC. Here we go. Listen to this one. The only decision that we've made with no regrets in the last few days is to expand the size of our office print print in our new Miami headquarters. Just in the last few days you made that reaction to New York. In reaction to New York. We filed a permit with the city of Miami. We've added several hundred
thousand square feet of new space in our new building. We will add far more jobs in Miami over the next decade. As an immediate and direct consequence of the mayor's poor decision here, with respect to his, his posting of that video. What I found interesting is that, you know, remember when that projection came out of, as to the, the population of, of, of Texas, which would be by the, the, in 75 years, by the end of the century. Right.
We'll be a hundred million. And that that Dallas fort worth itself will almost have the population
of California. You know, it does the right now. Well, yeah. Not Cairo. For instance at 40, they're like over 35 million people in North Texas and the other prediction they made is at New York City will no longer be the financial center of the United States. It will be my amy. And well, you know what scares me about that population thing? I saw a story the other day that says scientists are closing in on what they believe could happen genetically in order to increase
the average lifespan to 200 years. No, thank you. I don't want that. My insurance isn't going to cover it. I'm not paying for it. No. I don't want to be around for that kind of chaos. Look, I want to live a relatively long life. No doubt. 200 years? No. What would be the retirement age for social security if we lived at 200? The 150, 150, 160, 160. I'm a hundred and 60 years old. You don't look a day over a hundred and 60 is the new 120. No. Gary, you're 180 and you're
“dating a 130 year old. You know, you cradle Robert. By the way, you know who's behind this research?”
Big candles. The end is the birthday candle industry. Big candle. They're the ones behind it. Are you kidding? Are you kidding? You know how many candles they sell? You know, it takes to get 200 candles on a birthday cake? Big wax. That's they're behind it. Oh, wow. Big wax. Big candle. It's a plot. You know why I'd love to expand and have a conversation on what society would be like if we all lived till 200. I don't even want to know.
Yeah, I don't even want to know. Man, Walgreens would be so crowded. The lying would be out the door every day, every day. Pharmacies. Oh, man. My gosh. I'd be insane. And ensure every podcaster would be endorsing. Ensure. Every podcaster. Yeah. Absolutely. That's a heck of a long time because if you look at it, I mean, it's you're you're you're talking about 120 years longer than the average person lives.
“What is it in the mid 70s, right? Right. Yeah. And remember that's that comes down because of accidents.”
Right. You know, so that comes way down because of the younger people dying in accidents. It's probably more than that. I will say this. So when my brother and I have conversations about and I don't know how we got into it a couple of months ago about all the Hollywood people. You know, when you look at
how young they died. Yeah. And the first thing I'm looking at was, did they smoke, did they drink? Right.
When you go back and you look at the amount of abuse, these people did to the...
You know, it's like, you know, the stuff like with with, it always, it surprised me because
“when Michael Landon died, he just looks so healthy. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I remember him being”
even on Johnny Carson, but a month before he died, a pancreatic cancer. Yeah. And you felt so terrible. Like, as well, I probably, you know, abused my body a little bit. Then you find out afterwards, you're smoking four packs of cigarettes a day and drank all day every day. Right. So yeah, my God, are you kidding me? You know, on the set, you know, he used to wasn't like ever drunk. But it was always drinking all and it's like, right. My God, it was common. I mean, I, when I
every six months, I go to the doctor, so I'm a type two diabetic, and he says, your liver's looking really good. I'm like, is that my blood work? Yeah. Right. Oh, you little, did it over, did a little bit in your younger age, huh? Right. Just a slight thing. It was, that's so did I.
“But, but you, you think about that. And you're like, um, you know, how young that, you know,”
they died. And now people can live relatively healthy lives. I will say this is somebody who was 70, the joint score. Yeah. You know, and, and the one thing I do is, you know, constantly is, is the resistance training, because I don't want to get any replacement. I don't want to get a hit for placement. I'll probably do something about my ankle sooner or later, because the tendonitis is really bad in it. Yeah. You know, whether I get, you stare right shots or whatever, right now,
I can handle it. Right. Um, but, you know, you just think about that, the wear and tear and the, if you ever could live to 200, you know, the medical procedures you'd have to go through in order to make, or unless whatever genetically they could do, well, what they're talking about is,
is basically the body repairing itself out to what extent, you know, the articles are always too
short, because I was having a million questions. Yeah. But what does the research show about this or this, or because you talk about how the spine breaks down, how joint break down, right, um, and things like that. And if you're talking about repairing soft tissue, but that's one thing and would that apply to your knees and your hips and everything else, then you get into bone density and everything else that becomes an issue. You know, so yeah, I, or we end up like the Will Smith movie when they thought
they had the cancer treatment. Right. Yeah. Exactly. And it turns out to be, it turns people into zombies. Yes. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And gasoline was still more expensive than it is, right now. Yes, except in California. Right. California's more expensive than it was in the movie. Right. And they still had a blockbuster video. Yeah. They did it. Yeah. It's right. They told that movie is crazy, right? Yeah. Yeah. Um, it's, uh, yeah. I, no, I want nothing of, yeah. Look, I, I would like to
live a long, healthy life, not that long. But the thing about, you know, Ken Griffin talking about, you know, they, they're gonna move, you know, down to, you know, they're gonna move much more of their jobs down to Miami. Mm-hmm. And we talked yesterday about the left and how they promote the worst characteristics of human beings, which is envy, jealousy, and selfishness and no respect for property rights. Right. Right. They respect, they want you to respect their property rights. They don't
care to respect yours. Right. And, and to me, that's always been a huge problem. And they do that by
“calling themselves victims and implying that if you have more than they do, you must somehow be a bad”
person or be committing evil acts to get there. Yeah. Right. Exactly. That's how they justify not caring about your property. Demonize. Demonize. Yeah. Exactly. Yep. And in a, in a economic system that is based on everybody voluntarily doing something, there is no evil involved in it. Right. There's none because everybody is voluntarily cooperating to buy your product, to do business with you, to work for that company or for that company. Right. Yep. And they don't like it, vote with your
dollar, vote with your feet. And so that's why I've said, go ahead, blue states, go ahead, spend all the money to do everything, create this Nirvana that you're talking about that you can create. Yeah. Because we need to have the examples of it failing miserably in the United States, failed in the
Soviet Union.
will was right. We have to try it and show the American public that it fails miserably because
“for some reason they don't want to believe it. And that's because envy, jealousy, and selfishness,”
all we supersede any type of logic. We are Red Eye Radio. We'll be right back with more Red Eye
Radio with every currently and Gary McNamara.

“When a palter of the actress is getting called out for what critics are calling out to touch”
comments when discussing the inequality of wealth. She was on a podcast and said, "How do you think we got to this place in culture where nothing matters and now all that matters is these kind of super rich white dudes who are breaking rules, setting rules, seemingly not caring so much about the downstream impact on everything from health to culture?" I have no idea what the hell she's talking about, but her critics had a reminder,
"You're worth 200 million." Yeah. She's extremely well. She's also white.
