He is our currently non-Gerry McNamara.

Well, I think what happened this week was that AOC said,

you know, the Democrats are getting so insane. So dumb, so stupid that I'm being ignored. I've got to up them or down them. Bring on more stupidity. I've got to bring on more stupid.

Our level of stupidity keeps increasing to the point where I'm not keeping up with it. I need to be more stupider. Right. Look, a white woman in California, that Porter woman.

Yeah. She's, she's really out doing me in stupid. Yeah. I've got to be stupider. I've got to be more stupider.

Ready for this? What do you got? Here's AOC this week. Okay. Listen to this one.

All right.

There's a certain level of wealth and accumulation.

That is unearned. Right? You can't earn a billion dollars. That's right. You just can't earn that.

That's exactly correct. You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws.

You can pay people less than what they're worth. Yep. But you can't earn that, right? That's right. So, Oprah's not worth a billion dollars.

She didn't earn it. Nope. Beyonce. She's not. She didn't.

Yes. Right. She didn't do any of the work. What the hell are they talking about? Now, why do I have a point with Taylor Swift?

But beyond that. She's just a joke. She earned it. Well, no. But no.

Taylor Swift didn't because she's a white woman. So, see? I win. I win the argument because I brought up the racial argument. Yeah.

So I win.

That always goes like gangbusters.

Everybody always agrees with that approach. Hey, look, sometimes some of these musicians suck so bad that I question why anybody would pay money to work, to listen or buy their product. But that's, I think, just a matter of taste.

Not a matter whether these people did it.

Because the key is not whether I believe they are worth it.

It's whether other people are willing to pay to make them rich. Well, it's a voluntary process. But you just, what the hell's in her mind? I mean, just to me, I will go to my grave. Saying good, are we close to death?

Because I got to ask God, God, how did you make their brain? The way they, the, how did you make their brain that way? And make my brain this way? What, what is it? Am I wrong?

Is critical thinking and connecting the dots completely?

The wrong way to think? Yeah, our human supposed to be more like I am and, and fellow conservatives are, or they supposed to be like AOC. Wow. I don't want to pretend to know how God's going to answer that question.

Maybe I should keep God out of it. But I'm pretty sure I know how God's going to answer that question. We'll just leave it at that. Because I'll say this. You know, this is the biggest part of this stupid equation and set of statements that she just made.

Leave out the wealth creation. The wealth created by these individuals. From their work.

Sometimes it's risk and reward which is investing.

You can look to Warren Buffett who, by the way, has given her party a lot of his money.

You can look at a number of people like,

"Yeah, I still don't understand why Bill Gates is a billionaire." Based on the latest windows. But I'll just leave that's just the personal complaint. That's petty of me and I shouldn't do that. But I still do it because I still believe it.

He is a white man. I have no idea how it happened. But it did. And apparently, it was legal. So they say, Jeff Bezos started by selling books in his garage.

Yeah. Now, someone like me would have walked up to my next door neighbor Jeff and said, "But he's doing selling books out of my garage and one day, I'm going to be one of the richest men in the world." All right, Jeff.

You just keep it up there, buddy. Good luck. And I'd be laughing. And of course, he's the one laughing at the end of it all. Hey, I'm Chris Fanfleet.

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 Serra be there or would page be there? Hey, 1, 100% there.

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. But it makes sense. Right?

In Jelly Roll. We knew we had that kind of a moment. Mindset, motivation, and what it takes to succeed. Insight with Chris Fanfleet. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

You can look at all of these individuals who created this wealth. And you go back to Steve Jobs. You go back to a number of individuals who's creations.

Not only expanded wealth, but the expansion of wealth is important to break down

because it means jobs and prosperity for individuals. She wants you to believe that they're not paying a fair wage. They're violating labor standards and they're breaking the laws. They're breaking the law. They're doing all of these things.

When she knows nothing about it, now I will say this. You're not going to become a billionaire by being a bartender. That's not going to happen. So if she's thinking after her legislative career, she's going to go back to bartending and become a billionaire,

that's likely not going to happen. I could be wrong. But when you talk about earnings, see, this is what's interesting is for years,

I've always pointed out that they use the word on the left.

They use the word half. Billioners have all this wealth. They have all this money. And I say they earned it. Now, that at least one of them is aha, but it's possible.

It's impossible to earn a billion dollars. Actually, it's not. And it's been proven time and time again. Now, only a handful of people relatively speaking have reached that status. And what she's saying is, and where she's going with this is where everybody,

and her party is going with this, but they shouldn't exist. They've done something illegal. They've done something immoral. There's no way in the world to do it without doing it illegally or immorally.

And we should take it from them, by the way, without earning it. Well, and you could see it from the very beginning because when we first were listening to this, we like, when do you mean you don't earn it? Of course they earned it. And then it's like, where are you going to go with this? Well, of course it's where what we've talked about this entire week,

that in order to get a billion dollars, you can't possibly earn it, which of course you can.

You can earn $10,000. You can earn a million dollars. You can earn a billion dollars. You can earn a trillion dollars. You can, you can do it.

I mean, it's, it's possible to, to do all of that.

Yeah, so it's like, okay, what's your explanation that you can't because economically speaking when you look at the world?

And if you create a product and you sell it to the world, of course you can become a billionaire if you have the right product to sell. Right. We all know it. She can say that because the Democrats in order to justify taxing more in a system where the rich, as you know, in New York City, for example, 1.6% or 1.5% pay 40% of the taxes and if they leave, you know, boom.

How do you justify, how do you justify, you know, destroying your own society?

Right.

You say what you do is say what she just said that they didn't earn it because they must have done something that was evil.

Right. Even if you can't point out what they did, you just generically throw out, they must have done this. They must have done that and they must have done that and they must have done that. Even if they didn't do that, you know, your whole goal has to be that to be a billionaire is immoral. Yeah.

And so we know where she's going, you know, with that, but it's what we've talked about this week that if you look at the Democratic Party today, identity politics, that's the racism anti-Semitism, that's the racism, they own it. Yes. Because anybody on the right, we even dares to go that way is immediately move to the side. We've seen it.

Yep. Yeah. We've seen it already. Yep. We've seen it with Candice Owen.

Yeah. We've seen it with Tucker Carlson.

You're an anti-Semite, you're not part of the mainstream anymore, you're sorry, you're over there.

Right. We're not listening to you anymore.

Now you and I've always been this way.

Right. You know, some Republicans were slower, but for the most part, how they removed to the sidelines was extremely quick by the vast majority of Republicans and conservatives out there. We have no room for that, but we could care less, we don't care about skin color. We don't care about your religion unless your religion seeks to take away my rights. Yeah.

You know, then you've got to, but we don't judge people by that. We judge people as individuals. We judge them by the content of their character, their intelligence, and the quality of their argument because we're in talk radio. But if you look at it, that that's the racism. We've seen the misogyny and the sexism from the radical transgender movement that's absolutely blunt.

Yeah. Yeah. We see the demonization, how they want class warfare by assuming that if you have more than I do that you've done it in some way.

And that's a way that's simply another way to justify jealousy, envy, and selfishness because that's what it's about.

And greed and greed. Right.

Because that's the point we've always brought up.

The people that are greedy are the ones without evidence that are calling you evil and therefore state that they should have more of your property given to them. That's actually the definition of greed. Great is not. I create a product. People voluntarily buy it.

They voluntarily work for me. Yeah. And my company becomes worth a trillion dollars. Yeah. That's not greed.

Right. Great is when you want something that isn't yours. Yep. Yep. That's and it is the greed that comes with the also the power.

Having the power to what is greedy and immoral. And people taking people's wealth that they've already paid taxes on and taking it from them based on emotion. Under the guys of it being for the better good that these billionaires shouldn't exist. We want to do away with billionaires. Tell me something that is more greedy, more immoral than that.

Because then I always say most dangerous dog theory when neighborhoods and cities say, okay, this dog is the most dangerous.

So you are no longer allowed to own this dog in this jurisdiction. And then the second most dangerous dog becomes the most dangerous dog. And then you're no longer allowed to. And then we get down to toy puddles. And what they're doing here is eventually whittling away at the wealth of all Americans.

Because they want they want you to believe only the billionaires would suffer. If they were to go in and do what their plan dictates and take so much that they're willing to do. That there were no billionaires. The depletion of wealth would throw us into a great depression that would make the first great depression look like the good times. You know, when they talk about greed, it's also, you know, the love of money over anything else.

Right.

You know, which would be materialism also. Yeah.

But when you look at so many of these billionaires, do they stop working?

No. Are they sitting on the beach all the time? No. Just enjoying their money, Warren Buffett isn't, but 93, 94. Yeah.

And while he's stepped down as CEO, he's still on the board of directors. And it's still working every day. But you know, you look at all these, you know, Elon Musk could retire. They're not going to retire. And Griffin could retire.

Right. You know, I mean, they're a little bit younger. Griffin, I think it's 57. But these aren't the kind of, you know, it's like Sam Walden. He never retired.

No.

He always continued to work.

To have Turner never retired even in hisailing days. He wasn't technically retired. Yeah. These are people that are driven to do something. Which by the way, brings about innovation.

They're driven. They're driven to be productive. Yes. At times, they're obsessed with being productive. Right.

And there's nothing to me. There's nothing evil about that. Right.

You know, you may look and say, hey, look, you need to slow down a little bit for your health.

But that's our own personal decision because they love what they're doing. What is what is the bad character trait of human being is what AOC has. There's greed. There's selfishness. There's envy.

There's jealousy. Yep. There's. And then a lot. And to support all of them.

You know, there's the racism of the identity politics. There's a misogyny and sexism of the radical transgender movement.

And she holds all the worst characteristics that we always note about human beings.

And they project it on to other people that they view as the opposition without any specific evidence to prove their point. And issuing our grievance, she fills it with lies. Yeah. Accusing people of crimes. That's the only way to get through.

Yeah, you, you sell your own envy, jealousy and selfishness by claiming you're the victim and they're the evil person. Yeah. You have to lie. We are right. Radio.

Brought to you by FPPF fuel power max independence with carrier authority should be mindful than negotiations strength varies as the weak progresses. Typically, the highest rates across major segments are paid for loads and negotiated on Sundays and the highest volume of loads for all segments is seen on Mondays. Also, the weekday that tends to be the best for flatbed negotiations, yielding the best rates.

Owner operators tend to have less negotiations strength on Tuesday, which shows the lowest weekday spread between brokers offer grades and actual paid rates. Broker offers tend to rise by Wednesday as the end of the week is in sight. This day also seems optimal for the three o'clock hustle. So called for its reliance on that afternoon time of day when brokers are getting nervous. To improve negotiation strength.

Where went the radio? He's heard from me and I'm hearing McNamara. Oh, why? The Babylon Bee Brugle. Yeah. Ready? Okay.

Dr. Fauci reports amazing results in gain of function research at new cruise ship laboratory.

Oh, wow. And the reason that the reason they did that is because you see the Rand Paul on access today saying five days in the statute of limitations are up. He lied to Congress. He purged himself.

Yeah. I believe he did. We said it way back then when he tried to change the definition of gain of function.

Right. Right. And but will they be able to prosecute him on that? I don't know. Well, we're talking medical semantics. But the fact is he was trying to hide the truth as to what was going on.

No doubt when you go back to those exchanges between and I credit Rand Paul. I wasn't just wants he there were a few times where he went back and forth with Fauci. And it was clear Fauci was lying, but that was especially on gain of function. But doesn't matter what you call this was our concern right with Rand Paul was. If you're if you're trying to get it out of him, it doesn't matter.

Was there work being done to make this more contagious to you and dangerous t...

Right.

That right. Don't I don't care what you call forget about the title was there any work being done yes or no.

Yeah. I remember you and I had said that stop with the title of it.

Right. Ask was this going on where you were tempting to change the virus. Exactly. And the answer would have had to be yes without lying. Yeah.

You're listening to Red Eye Radio from the Red Leaf Factory Studios.

We are Red Eye Radio. He is currently and I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome and good morning.

All right. I talked about this. I believe two segments ago and I'm going to make sure that I that I read the couple of paragraphs that Eric Adams wrote former mayor of New York City.

Any this he in this in a way was begging Ken Griffin to stay in New York City. But listen to how he writes is he goes I communicated and Ken Griffin is the the the the billionaire who said I'm going to move a lot more The work down to Miami. He goes I communicated with Ken earlier and I expressed my dismay over the mayor targeting his family outside their private residents. I also asked him to reconsider his decision to withdraw from New York City. The goal now must be to stop the narrative that New Yorkers worked hard to achieve the American dream are somehow the enemy coming from a modest upbringing working hard and achieving the American dream

Should never make someone a villain in America yet that's exactly the message to too many are sending today. It is especially troubling coming from politicians who grew up with every advantage

Imagineable yet lecture working people in self made business leaders about struggle and fairness New York has always been a city where people from humble beginnings could build something for themselves Create jobs and give their children a better life the New York City mayor. I'm downing he's talking about must stop dividing Our city by demonizing success and those who invested in our communities and help keep New York strong the people who earned the opportunity to live on park Avenue Want the same things as the people living on park place in Brooklyn safe streets opportunity and a clean city where they can raise their families with dignity and hope

My message to can another business leaders in New York City is this stand your ground do not let irresponsible rhetoric drive you out of the city our futures are connected

And New York only succeeds when we stop dividing people and remember that we are all headed towards the same destination a successful city now where I disagree with him is no don't stay.

Yeah, no I would say to don't know don't you know no don't stay don't make don't make can Griffin and other billionaires the problem here Right they've been investing in the city what they're saying is you're coming after us now You're coming at we know it that's what Manda Manda me has been clear about what he wants and he looks at it and says it's not just Manda me that's what the voter in New York City wants Right they're getting more radical and I'm not going to deal with it. I'm leaving right I'm going to go with like I'm going to go to a place with like minded people

Yep and that's look it's already it's a done deal this is a trend yeah it's a trend now it's not one or two I'd love to know how many of the super wealthy and and keep in mind not all of them are household names not all of them are famously Well they it's it's not that that forms doesn't publish their name but there are a lot of them that are on the list that don't really make the noise don't really make the news And they're not a household name and eventually they're going to have to make the same the same kind of decision if they haven't already is it worth it to say when I know this is not going to end it's it's going to get worse and worse and worse the left

Is going bat soup crazy over this you you heard AOC and her stupidity no one ...

but other people have and this is again this is part of this building sentiment on the left which has been going on for years but this time it's a full on blitz mode and they're doing it in these blue states and in some cases saying well by if the wealth won't be missed at all and that they're winning the left is winning this and the billionaires are losing they know really believe they're winning I saw a TV anchor you know they're not in Seattle talking about she needs to stop with these mistakes and these gaps they're not mistakes are not it's what she believes in Seattle this is intentional this is how they think it's like that's how AOC things she is driven by jealousy envy and selfishness

and that's what we're talking about is that we're talking about the AOC just put musk and be so's in the same category as unicorns you can't earn a billion dollars you just can't earn that she explains this socialist

and that's what that's what that's what this is what we're dealing with and I want to find the

it was the there were a couple of things here first the the statistics on how much wealth left Chicago and can grip it instead of left the two year impact

eight hundred and forty six million in lost taxes plus two point six five billion in loss spending and it was a three point five billion dollar economic hit to the Illinois Chicago area not including the philanthropy the money that he that he gives by the way right she gives hundreds of millions of dollars to charitable causes and hospitals and things like that but that was the one and the other one was Stephen Moore the economist had this

a former trump advisor in the first term red states versus blue states were the money left and this is between twenty twelve and twenty twenty three and he has it

and that's what the other states and trump states and okay yeah so this goes back again to twenty three this might have been put out during the election time I'm not sure but the total money in trump states and increased the the net.

This would be the adjusted gross income the net adjusted gross income improvement in in thirty one states and voted for Trump. One nine nine trillion Wow Harris states negative one point nine trillion tells you the story right there a death tells the story right there and we're at the point now and I find this fascinating because it's something that you and I said for the longest time when will business say.

All right you're on this path and you're not going to change right and if there was ever a week.

Where you could look at a place like California if you're a business person and say I'm out it would be this week.

I mean because you you've got the mayoral debate you had the the second I guess the second debate for the the governor ship and it's obvious yep you know it's it's clear to everybody yep.

When you a van Jones saying that the Democrats are insane van Jones I mean it's. I think it I think there's a point to be made there. I think it absolutely could be but when you've got the people up there and I am you know I know Hilton said it.

She'll be I go I think also probably said it these people to create the probl...

And it's so simple to see you know it's for anybody paying attention and of course they're in lies the problem too many who are willfully ignorant who go out of their way to put the blinders on.

And they're going to vote blue every time and they don't care. Some of those same people will be moving to other states.

Eventually there's no doubt and and that's again following this for the longest time and just wondering when are when are people versus the people that said you know I I just I can't afford to move and now it's I can't afford not to move but we've always said one will business when will cap one will the capital flight.

And that's the problem that Eric Adams has trying to convince can griffin to stay in New York City it's not going to change.

And the bill as the billionaires are leading as the individuals are leaving they're taking their business with them and they're all way they're also sending a message to other business because any business that would be looking to expand any new business looking to expand.

Who was looking her company was looking to expand to California and they did about 18 months worth of work in research and what the return on investment would be.

But then they started looking long term at the policy in California policies plural in California and realized it was a huge mistake and they next the idea and that's that's the compounding effect of all of this is not just the ones that are there now.

And how would those states draw in new business and who's going to be who's going to be loved.

Kimberly Soros will the red blue economic divide we read parts but earlier, but she writes citadel in 2022 can griffins company moved it's headquarters from Chicago to Miami but still maintains a large New York presence.

It made it a target to pick the hedge funds team members have paid nearly 2.3 billion in city and state taxes the past five years.

While citadel is deciding whether it should redevelop a park Avenue office that would create 15,000 permanent midtown Manhattan jobs. Now he says no we're going to focus and doubled on on Miami, Mr. Mendami responded that the New York tax system was unjust and the wealthiest New Yorkers have to pay their fair share. And then if the wealthiest pay their fair share this would become a city where the working people can actually afford to live in. She writes this is demonstratably untrue as evidence by Florida Miami-Dade County has experienced booming growth with working people flocking to chase an explosion of business jobs and better lives.

It's schools are better than New York's it's housing and rent half as expensive it utilities more affordable it is cleaner it is in teaming with vagrants and you can even visit a Walmart. Miami residents get all this because of not in spite of zero state income taxes zero state taxes a manageable 7% sales tax and reasonable property taxes and corporate taxes. These policies drive growth and revenue and then she goes on to talk about the the problems New York has at more than 100,000 people left New York City last year.

Yeah, you lose a few billionaires on you take a tremendous amount of your income away, but they don't care right and that's the thing it's been set now in the last couple of years. With the doubling down over and over again for businesses and business leaders are saying it's not going to change. It's a trend now yep it's a trend yeah if this isn't a temporary thing just because. Because this person was in office is not one year to you know somebody's going to say well let's change in some way it's not going to change not going to change.

We are right I radio.

We'll be right back with more red I radio with every currently and Gary McNamara.

I bought and this hour with Canadian news okay Alberta.

Separatist wow said Monday they formally submitted almost 302,000 signatures to try to trigger a referendum on the province leaving Canada the group needed 175,000 to force a province to consider such a vote.

The question of separation will go to a on a provincial ballot is early as October.

As the premier has said she would move forward.

If enough names are gathered and verified Smith has said she personally does not support the oral rich province leaving Canada.

A yes vote would not trigger independence automatically negotiations with the federal government would have to take place. A political science professor at McGill University said some indigenous groups who are already using the courts to prevent an independence referendum would use venues including the courts to stop independence from happening. But yeah you know the negotiations like how much of the national debt you take right what about if there's any national power all that stuff has to be negotiated.

This is what I radio on Westwood one.

What's up this way five years ago ten years ago twenty years ago do we have the will or not but we are Americans and I believe we absolutely do have the will and do this show for you and when you're not interested anymore I will just go away.
