05-12-26 Part One - Venezuela Loves Trump

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. [Music] All across America, we are Red Eye Radio, he is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara, good morning.

Thank you for being here. We'd like to welcome our friends in Benusweidel, our new 54th state. [Laughs] All right, and welcome. Oh, my, it's just stop. Stop it for God's sake.

Then he says, "When he's done in office here in the state, so you're thinking about going down there to write." See, I told you during the break, during the pre-show meeting. This is why he doesn't drink. Imagine what he would say if he did.

[Laughs] I'm going to go down there and run and tell you why we can do the pre-show in Benusweidel. Benusweidel, Benusweidel, 54th state. I'm going to win, I'm going to make Benusweidel great again. Trump on Monday said that he was seriously considering making Benusweidel the 54th state,

even though he is no power to do so. Right, setting the abundance of natural resources and reasserting his claim that the Benusweidel and people love him, he made the remarks to Fox News's John Roberts and a phone call that saw him add Benusweidel love's Trump. The president previously equipped that he may retire by seeking the Benusweidel in

presidency, once his term with the White House ends. He has pointed to the extraction of now for the former president, Maduro as both during the popularity in his country, our relationship with Benusweidel has been amazing.

“The people on the highest polling person in other words, after the presidency, I think”

I may go to Benusweidel, I may run, it's an option. He had said back in March, by the way, yeah, so, right, so there you go. Yeah, it's, well, good luck, well, I'll say this from that, what you could extract that remains that is accurate and true is he's likely very popular down there. Now the question is, where does it go from here, that popularity can wane with time after

he's no longer president of things go back to the way that they used to be, then they will be all for not, do they, does it matter which dictators in power, Maduro or before him, Chavez or whoever the next one is, if there is going to be a next one. But if it is indeed long term, a turnaround for Benusweidel, then that's great. Then he'll remain popular.

I don't think he'll become the president of this way. I'm not betting on that, well, well, the whole thing with Canada's 51st state and it was, you know, he kept pounding it, it was like just stop it because there isn't one Republican who would want Canada to become the 51st state, but one, right, now one single

Republican and why is that? Well, if Canada became the 51st state with 40 million people,

they would be a far left state. Yeah. They would dominate.

“They would, I believe, what does California have?”

What's the population of California right now? Is it 38 million, are they up to 40 yet? And they would either, they, they would rival California in house seats. Yeah. Yeah.

It's right at just under 40. Okay. And I think Canada's just at 40. So Canada, there's, there's an argument in Canada would become the biggest state. They would have two Democrat senators and except for the Alberta representatives, which

might not happen. I'm sorry. Update that updated on AI, while you were saying that, just over 10 seconds.

There are now only 39 million people in California.

Quickly. I'm sorry.

It's down to 38, 38 million, 37 million is, will have a tote board on the hat.

They're declining population of California. Yeah. So Canada would become the biggest state, 41.472 million as of January 1st. So they would become the biggest state. They would be more liberal than California.

Hmm. Well, I don't know. Maybe there's an argument to be made there.

“So they would be, I mean, how many, how many house seats would you have to have that”

would be Democrat in Canada? And the point is, we all knew it was impossible. But even if you're making a joke, make a joke that makes sense. Yeah, right. Because that makes no sense.

If you're going to throw out something, and I don't know. I mean, with Trump, I mean, with Greenland, with, I don't know idea, with Venezuela. I have no idea why he says things like this. I saw one guy wrote on social media yesterday goes, I'm the biggest Trump supporter. I wish he would just shut up about these things.

They make no sense at all. Stop it. Hey, Venezuela has over 28 million people.

Now the problem is you'd have to build a wall between Venezuela and Colombia.

Right. Are you going to, how do you enforce that border? Yeah. So there would be some issues. Just a few.

Yeah, probably. Yeah.

“Well, I am pretty confident that's not going to happen in my lifetime.”

Yeah. Hey, we're talking my lifetime. We just, I didn't. Which isn't that long. I'm, well, like the population of California, those numbers are declining.

But. By the way, how you feeling? I'm feeling a little bit better today. Yesterday was a horrible day for both of us. We both been sick, and it was, you know, I didn't know how sick I was to like, got here.

And I'm talking now without, I have not turned off my microphone yet. Yeah. But I mean, it was just, it was, I've had a, you know, just some type of upper respiratory infection. Yeah.

In fact, when I woke up at 10 o'clock, I went, wow, this is great. It's gone. But the interesting thing about respiratory infections, you can lay down and go to sleep and you feel great when you wake up. And then the sun is just stand up and you're walking around for 20 minutes.

It's like, is this coming back again? Or sometimes the opposite. Or the opposite. Oh, my gosh. I won't be able to get out of bed.

And by the time you get up and get dressed and everything, you're doing much better. I had that, I'm last night. I had that. I said, you know, when I, I said, oh, man, and then sun on it woke up going, my brain is clear.

Yeah. So that was, that was a, that was a, I had a doctor's appointment already scheduled and I, I went in. It was early and I thought, okay, this will, this will help because I've been, I've had this upper respiratory thing for, I don't know, less than a week.

Uh, which is a pretty quick turnaround for me. But I got in there and my oxygen was at like 91.92. And they were like, are you doing okay? I was like, oh, yeah, I've been coughing. So, uh, yeah.

So, uh, they checked it a little later. I think we got up to 94, I think. Uh, I'm pushing it. I'm trying to breathe a little harder. Uh, but, uh, yeah, it was, uh, I ran a favor over the weekend.

I mean, just broke into a favor because I've been taken, uh, some, uh, insides basically,

uh, for a throat pain and, which, I don't do a lot.

“And I think they kept the fever at bay and I quit taking them on Friday and by, by Saturday,”

you mean I was running a fever. But feel much better now, much better. Yeah. So, it's, uh, I think it's over. I think it's done, like making, uh, Canada, the 54th state, I think we can move on.

I was shocked by the way that more liberals didn't jump on board with that. That liberals didn't, whoa, yeah, let's do that. Come on. We'll do that. You know, just politically to get into it.

But it likely is the situation that, no, no, just make them sound weird by only him talking about it. And make his answer, make his, uh, party answer form. So yeah. No, neither one's going to happen.

Um, it's interesting, though, the, you know, the oil game has changed a lot, uh, post-moduro.

I think that sent allowed message to, uh, countries like, but both China and Russia.

“I think it's going to be, again, I've no predictions, but I think it's really going to”

be interesting the trip to China, you know, the number of United States leaders that he is bringing over there is going to really be, uh, interesting to see where they go on it. And, you know, the, the, the, the, the big question is, who is going there with an advantage? Yeah. Is it Trump or is it G?

Right. And, I mean, he's staying there, we're, we're, we're visiting him. But when you look at it, one of the things, when you look at what the president did, uh, you know, taking out Maduro, um, I say, take out, I mean, taking out, we're moving him proud.

Not really. I mean, actually taking him out. Yeah. And what you see what's going on in, in, in a ran and the belief that China actually wants us to stop, you know, what's going on in a ran and, and China's, you know, own economic

problems. Yeah. That, that, that, that, you know, that they, they have.

You're always going to problems when you try to mix capitalism with communism.

Yeah. It's always going to be, you know, uh, uh, problems. But when you look, when you look at it, uh, what the president has done in so many areas is, um, is hurt the, the potential of, of China and Russia when it comes to expansion. Mm-hmm.

You know, you, you, uh, I think it was, uh, in, uh, in the national review was like, what losing a war looks like? And, and when I first saw the headline, I'm like, this is national review. So they're not making the case that we're losing the, the war in a ran, which of course we're not.

Right. You know, he said, he goes, that's, you know, the, in, uh, the popular culture mainstream

“media, you know, that's what they're attempting to, uh, throw out, uh, and it goes, but, you”

know, war's not one on social media, you know, it's basically, it's, you know, it's military,

it's strategic, it's all that. And if you lose, you know, those parameters, which are the only ones that matter, of course, United States is, uh, is, is, is winning because you get to the point where if it's not, uh, unconditional, if, if Iran exists and it's not unconditional surrender, which we talked about yesterday because the president said that's what he wanted a month ago, and now he

doesn't want it so that left will judge him by what his standard is and not what the standard is of actually winning a war or not, you know, decimating their military, their ability, you know, to have an economy going with the blockade and everything else, but the reality is we're winning and they said, now look at Russia and Ukraine, right, so this isn't being talked about.

If you want to see what a nation losing a war looks like, look at Russia right now. Uh, and think about how long that has gone, uh, yeah, yeah, and that was supposed to be what, uh, two week war, yeah, a month war, yeah, most of that it would be done quickly. And, and so, uh, when you look at the president, you know, going to, to China, you know, I think that when you have most nations look at Trump, what they look at is what, what

they believe their Trump card is is what they view as Trump's unpopularity in the United States. Hmm.

“That's what I think they look at right there, you know, their, uh, Wall Street Journal lead”

editorial, uh, you know, uh, Iran believes president, the president is bluffing. We said that yesterday. Yeah. By the way. Right.

Yes. Right. Now, they may be wrong in believing that we shall see, but that's, you know, that's what they believe and they believe that because they look and they say the opposition isn't going to give him money, they're going to ensure that there is no money for this war, um, uh, all we have

to do is wait him out because the Democrats will get back in power and the Democrats will start sending us cash again, right, that's how they look at it. They look at it and they say, you know, we can outlast which then again can work against them if the president also knows that and says, okay, you think I'm bluffing, we end it now or, you know, whatever he, you know, plans on doing.

I think the most interesting thing that happened was the Fox News report out there that Brett Brett Bear had and he used sources for it and, uh, Brett, we hope you're correct. Yeah. Well, exactly. Yeah.

I got burned. You got burned one time.

“He got, he got burned on the, uh, was it the Hillary Clinton?”

Yeah, the Hillary Clinton was going to get ignited, he had reported that his sources told

him, she was going to be indicted on the email scandal and we said, you better be right. I was just hours after he said it, and of course his, his sources burned it. But this is where the, you, you, UAE, United Arab Emirates is actually involved in military action against Iran, right, which should be pretty easy to figure out. Right.

Yeah. There's something that, you know, I mean, they, they've made it clear. There's been an attack on a refinery, uh, they're, and they, that's mind boggling. Yeah. My, well, I did.

When I saw that yesterday, I went, oh, that, that's unbelievable.

It, it doesn't surprise me that there are that, that you have other, um, again, I'm, when you look at the picture, we know that there are other interests against Iran here involved, and UAE is right here at the top, aside from Israel and the U.S. pulling out of the, uh, the oil cartel, uh, OPEC, which is something really, they've really wanted to do for a while.

Uh, it is, it's not new to this equation or this scenario, this, uh, current, uh, set of events with Iran. They've wanted to, uh, you know, pull back and, and I think a lot of it has to go, has to do with Iran, uh, being, uh, really, uh, part of the, uh, one of the founding members of OPEC and having so much control over the, over that cartel, and they don't, that's not

something that favors, uh, the Emirates. So I think here, I, it, it, it's, if you look at what they've got available to them, including Intel and Western-style jets and everything else, I'm curious to see what else they're willing to do. We are what I radio brought to you by Hot Shot Secret.

Hi, I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller.

“When driving, you need to manage the space around your vehicle, so that there's enough space”

to allow you to adjust when traffic conditions change.

The space ahead of your vehicle is the most important.

One rule of thumb is to allow at least one second for each 10 feet of vehicle length at speeds below 40 miles per hour, at greater speeds, add an additional second. It's impossible to keep other drivers from tailgating you, but there are some things you can do to make it safer, such as increasing your following distance, avoiding quick lane changes, and slowing down.

There are also several things you should do to ensure that there is plenty of space between the side of your vehicle and other vehicles. Don't hug the center line, and avoid traveling alongside other vehicles in strong winds. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates, visit us at JJ Keller.com.

We are Red Eye Radio. He is here. I'm Gary McNamara. So we just started about the President talking about to Venezuela in the 51st state. The one thing that comes to mind here, there's limited options.

There's no opportunity, even if this President speaks all the time at every day, but still there's limited opportunity to promote the things that you're actually doing well. I don't think the public cares about it anymore. I wish he would just stop it because it takes away from the time that he can talk about and Marco Rubio also could talk about it, and JD Vans could talk about it.

How? Because of the President's foreign policy, they are changing the world. They are changing the world the potential of what is out there with Venezuela, which again, United States becoming friendly with Venezuela, blunts the impact of China. When you see what's going on right now with Russia, and the Ukraine right now, and everything

that this President does doing in the Middle East is also taking away power and influence from China and Russia, and then in the Middle East right now, with the UAE, now involved in military action, Saudi Arabia for the most part cooperating, the fact that Middle Eastern countries talking about if Iran is not the power that they were anymore, and they don't have the influence about having Abraham Accord peace agreements with Israel, this President

on foreign policy is changing the landscape like no are the President in my lifetime. Hey, I'm Chris Fanfleet, go behind the scenes and beyond the headlines with the biggest names in pro wrestling and beyond.

We are Red Eyewick, he is our guardian, I'm Gary McNamero, welcome and good. Good morning. Thank you so much for being here, download our Red Eyewick app today, and you can listen

when and where you choose. Thank you. Alright, so I just discovered this audio and I just went, "She's CNN Bakari Sellers. We know how far left he is, but listen to this." I mean, listen to what he says here and this reminded me of what you said such a long

long time ago when I first started working with you, and I think it was you who said

that when somebody makes a statement, if what they say to start it out is a lie, they start on the false premise. If they start on the false premise, everything afterwards may make sense to you, but it can't because the premise to start with is completely and totally inaccurate. It's a lie.

“And that's what I got out of this little quilt, we're just going to play this part here”

where it's obviously the premise of how he starts out is completely wrong. Here we go. If somebody fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today in 2026, they would simply say the only difference is now Negroes have a TV show and we were nice suits. I don't have to go any further because that's the part.

That's that when we talk about, that's the part right there that is inaccurate.

Yeah. It's not true. Exactly. That nothing has changed since 1896 in this country. Oh my God.

Exactly. It's changed since 1996. Exactly. I mean, it's so, it's so, it's such an incredibly big lie. And that's where the left is at this point, everything is a lie.

Right. Yeah. A boy can be a girl. Right. No, they can't.

That's a lie. There's no difference, 1896, 2026. No difference. No difference. Just the clothing and that little television thing.

Right. If they woke up in 2026, they'd say, "Dude, are you still watching television? Why aren't you streaming?" I mean, it's just so stupid. To try and build your premise, nothing has changed.

You can say, "All right, fundamental values."

“But then you have to include the left, which of course he's not going to do.”

No. You can say the Constitution remains for the time being.

And you can point out some things that are still in place, we're still basically located

in the same place. As far as I know, I know the Earth turns rotates. As far as I know, we're not shifting that much in terms of the United States itself. There are things that haven't changed. Well, but it's unbelievable how much has changed since 2016, I don't even have to go

back to 1996, go back to 2016, 10 years. If somebody's been in a coma for 10 years and they woke up, "Dude, what happened?" And seriously, he's president. I mean, it's one of those things because think about that. And he ran as a Republican, because Trump, because if you think about the entire landscape

of the left and everything that's changed, well, Trump, before he decided to run, he was a darling of the left. He was a celebrity. Right. But this is more important.

Yeah, I just want to focus on the racism part of it, though.

where he's the bigot, and where does the bigotry actually lie?

“The bigotry lies in the left, that's the point right there.”

And they have been open about it to the point of, if you go back to 2016, the anti-Semitism that they put on, proudly put on, full display today, it was nowhere near what it is on the left back in 2016. And this is again, the frustration I have with Republicans.

Republicans should never be on the defensive about racism ever.

All right, or misogyny, ever, because it's owned by the Democratic Party, owned, and when you have Bakari Sellers says nothing for blacks has changed since 1896. Basically, Jim Crow still exists and everything else. It is such an incredible lie. If they keep promoting it and then look and say, Republicans are the reason why things,

why this, again, the premise is a lie. But you're still as bad off as you were in 1896 with Jim Crow, which we all know.

“And remember, at that point, lynching was still taking place, nothing has changed at all.”

They are still attempting to promote that you are a victim who cannot make it because things

are as bad. Now, apparently, you can wear a suit and you can be on TV, but besides that, nothing has changed. Such an incredibly big lie to promote victimization when it is the Democratic Party. The Democrats over and over and over again, over the last 40 years, especially, that

have promoted identity politics, judging people by groups and not individuals. That is the basis of racism in our society. Everybody knows that every Democrat listening right now knows that's the basis of racism.

You judge people by groups and not as individuals.

And they own it.

“And so when you see the identity politics, which how do we know that the Democrats do it?”

Because the Democrats talk about it and they talk about what a problem it is. And remember, Stacey Abram says, "Identity politics works for us." And it's just that to me is the most frustrating thing. And as we all know, now with feminism, feminism, liberal feminism is gone. Liberal feminism was completely and totally defeated by liberal feminists, who said, "No.

We welcome male genitalia in the locker room. Men should compete against women. Why?" because that man says that he is a woman and therefore, what the man says goes because the man says so, and liberal feminism just got bold right over by liberal feminist women.

Well, again, you don't have to go back to 1896, go back 10 years. And what you see is what has been in play for the longest time. But now they're putting it on full display. The hatred and bigotry of the left, they're proud of it, they're proud of it. And they call the other side the bigots.

Trump is Hitler. He's the one citing with Israel. The guy with the Nazi tattoo, we don't discuss that now. We've moved on from that. Give the Nazi a break.

My favorite, as we talked about last week, was it's because his Naziism is justified because he was angry and upset. So Democrats seem to be accepting angry Nazis and they seem to be, you know, they haven't specifically said this, but since they talked about, you know, being actually talking about the justifying the Naziism and the Nazi tattoo through anger, we asked the question,

are they okay with happy Nazis? Even though I really haven't met too many happy Nazis. No.

Since you're blaming everybody else for the problems you have in life. Yes.

But yeah, it's just, it's, it's, it's amazing.

I just, you, you shake your head and I wish the Republicans would absolutely wake up and understand the political enemy that they have and what they're willing to do in at times. It's as if they, they just don't get it because the big picture is, they are still. They believe successfully gaining traction by calling Republicans racist when they own racism,

they own misogyny and they own sexism.

“They have institutionalized it, remember we heard in the summer of 2020 that racism is systemic.”

It is. It's institutionalized in systemic. But the place where it's institutionalized in systemic is in the democratic party. Yep. And it's, and the more, we, the more time goes on.

The more they come out and defend their own bigotry, yeah, I know. Platinum's just one example, one recent example, this is, this is who they are. When you had Dershowitz last week, Dershowitz. And again, it's because of my age where I remember Dershowitz were, if you're a little bit younger, you may not remember Dershowitz back in the '80s and '90s.

He was his anti-republican, as you could possibly imagine. And when Dershowitz Allen Dershowitz is off their scene, they're calling Trump a Nazi. He's, he's the one that is backing and saving Israel.

“He's pro-Jewish, he's pro-Israel, he can't be the Nazi, he's the opposite of a Nazi.”

But to hear Dershowitz say it, yeah, I'm just like, where's the rest of the Republican party? Why aren't they pounding on this? Why, why, where is this, you know, the sit down, the, the, the meeting where they say, look, guys, we need to promote this, do they think, do they, does he aren't

see, do they ever sit down and say, look, let's take all these things that we have, all these things. And I mean, bring the president in there, guys, this is what our message has to be. We all agree with these things, right? Right.

Right. Yeah. Because there are certain things that all Republicans agree with. Well, all right, because I want to, I want to, yeah, I want to get in trouble.

I've been wondering in a recent days with all the redistricting and trying to basically

gain some seats. I thought, well, to what extent does that work if you're not on the proper message? Yeah. If you gain advantage with redistricting, with a few seats and a few states, that means nothing if you're not on the proper message.

If you cannot put out as a party, by the way, I've seen them do it on their own, individuals in the party, I've seen them do it on their own, but there has to be a collective effort.

“You know, you make a great point, because this was made, but you need to pound out an”

over and over again. There was the one case in Tennessee where the one, they're saying this is racism racism, they're like, well, how the incumbent is a white man and the challenger is a Republican black woman that can't be racism. Yes, it can.

Why? Because all blacks must think alike, and if you don't think alike, right? Or not, I think it was saying the same thing. Identity problems? You was talking about a, you know, they're, they're, they're, Republicans are trying

to find a, you know, permission structure for young black men, they're, you know, blacks

to vote for them as if blacks don't have a mind on their own of their own to do critical

thinking. Right. Right. The, the, what do they call it? The soft, bigotry that exist in the Democratic party, blacks are stupid and can't make

their own decisions. Right. That's very much alive in the Democratic Party. We are right. Radio.

We'll be right back with more Red Eye Radio with every currently and Gary McNamara.

And he's certainly, I'm Gary McNamara, I can't play the audio because there's too many efforts in it, but on, on the Bill Mars drinking podcast, yes, he had a fetterman on. And they were talking about just how, and these are two Democrats talking about how whack the Democratic party is, you know, the, the racism that they throw out in order to defend communism.

They talk about Platner or Platner said, I'm a communist. And, you know, Bill Mars talking about the, the assistant of, of, of, to Mandami, who's a communist. That she's a communist. Right.

And talks about how homeownership is racist. Yeah.

And Bill Mars goes into the, in a country where 20 million blacks own homes, and he's just

goes, it's, it's, it's bats soup, you didn't say that, but it was worse, bats soup crazy. Yes. He goes, every, and these are two Democrats. Right. The Democrats are talking, they're talking about the insanity of the Democratic party.

Right. Right. Not to the, our news is brought to you by how products, visit how products.com. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One. Now it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything from Father

Texta 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. He's Red Eye Radio. All across America.

We are Red Eye Radio. He is here, Carlton. I'm Gary McNamara. All right.

“The best thing the Trump said yesterday, you ready?”

Okay. All right. Here we go. Is the best thing the Trump said yesterday. You have me up over here?

No. All right. Okay. Here we go. All right.

But I have a new way out. I'm going to propose something, the opposite of what I want. And we will have an issue of the most of legislature. No. It just, well, that's it.

But we will not build a wall.

“I think they're, I think they're going to go to the opposite.”

Whatever is bad, I'm going to go for it and they'll approve what's going to be fun. We kind of suggested that a long way on a couple of things. That's what we did. Absolutely did. That's great.

Yeah. I mean, there are some things that won't work. But they could do.

It's basically Custanza through the opposite.

Yeah. It's not psyched, I'll say. Because when member he came up, and he's the one that convinced him, yeah, well, if everything you do is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right. Yeah, it's exactly.

He said, that was the dumbest thing I ever said on the show, as if the opposite is actually going to work. And he said, I've actually got letters from people who have done that and said, it worked. And it, before Custanza, I mean, it works a little, you know, I mean, so yeah, I love

“when he's in the car with a woman, and she said, do you want to come up?”

No, I don't. I don't think so. We haven't known each other a lot. Yeah. Who are you, George, Custanza?

Yeah. On the opposite of every man you've ever met. Well, it's a, you know, again, I think a tromp on a few things could do that.

But if he actually wanted to make Canada the 54th state, we will never include Canada as

a part of our nation and then liberals just get on board. Now, we wouldn't have been on board. No, no, no, no, we wouldn't have been on board. We've stated multiple times that wouldn't work out, because they would have two senators saying, I don't know how many house seats, you know, but all of that.

So yeah, yeah, that's a hard no. Yeah, Mr. President, don't fight so hard for redistricting advantage. Yeah, exact. And losing by adding, right, far left liberal states. Yeah, exact, that doesn't make any sense.

Remember him, Mr. Starbucks, yes, remember Howard Schultz, he came up with, he's the one

“that came up with the idea, right for the, let's talk race for the coffee cups.”

Yeah, I'm basically told the baristas, hey, right before he handed to him, start a fight.

Yeah, we need to have race conversations between our baristas and our customers. Then, you know, let's talk race and then also your religion sucks and then handed to him. And just handed to him. See what happens. Let's just go with it.

One of the dumbest corporate ideas ever. Now the tip jar is going to be empty for a while, but you see what I'm getting at. No, we don't see what you're getting at now. He started a fight. Now he did because of him, I came to the realization that I'm a minority on my own

street. Yeah. Remember he did that full page ad? Oh, yeah, you see. I'm going around.

Right. Right.

Imagine somebody coming to your house, hey, I need to know ethnicity of everybody

that lives in the house, where you, I'm charged down the street, but down the street here. I need to know, I need to head count, accurate, because he thought it was a negative because I bet you're most people don't even know the ethnicity of the people on their streets. Right.

“Yeah, like you should be taking, like you should go and take a census of everybody on your”

street. That's not racist at all. I don't care. Right. That really is the right answer.

Right. I don't care. And then I said, well, I've decided for the heck, and then I go, oh, my gosh, I'm a minority on my own street, so I immediately moved. Hmm.

Well, I mean, it would be, it's weird. I'm getting, you know, imagine the guy, you know, what? I've got 13 Venezuela neighbors. Why are you attempting to do what it's, well, that was, I mean, that was a couple, when he said that there was a couple of years after I, I, I didn't know the guys, I, he apparently

was, was Mexican because he was part of the Mexican cartel, two doors down. Hmm. Yeah.

But I never really, I mean, I only seen him a couple of times.

I never, in my head. I don't think that way. Right. I don't think. I'm eating my neighbor.

Oh my god. Yeah. My neighbor is Hispanic. Oh my god. Get your clip, get your clipboard and go to the door.

Let me, let me, let me, let me get my Howard, get a head count, please. Let me get my Howard Schultz clipboard here. Oh my god. The neighbors across the street. Just a weird comment.

They're black. Yeah. Well, it's the weirdest thing, how on the left, they try to virtue signal, and the only thing they do is show their own virtues. I know.

“But remember how far left he was with the things that he was always coming up in.”

Yeah. And here it is. Seattle turns hostile to the great business it made, Howard Schultz. Yeah. All street turn.

Starbucks is moving jobs from Washington State to Tennessee, and it isn't alone in looking elsewhere. Washington State has been my home for more than four decades by arrived in Seattle with dreams and ambition and ended up building Starbucks into a company known around the world. Many Pacific Northwesterners joined in shaping the culture, benefits, and brand of Starbucks

contributing not only to the business, but also to the civic and entrepreneurial life in the area. I am no longer a resident of Washington. My decision to leave had much to do with family choices in my stage in life. Still, I feel a responsibility to speak up about the business and job climate in a city

and state that gave me so many opportunities. Washington's economic story over the past half century is extraordinary. Microsoft Amazon Costco in a host of other new companies transform the state into a global center of technology innovation and logistics entrepreneurs exported ideas worldwide, capital flowed wages rose imported in homegrown talent flourished that ecosystem worked because

risk taking was rewarded. Growth was possible and civic leadership while in perfect understood the private enterprise wasn't the adversary of the public good. It was one engine for improving the public sphere. The ecosystem is fractured today.

Seattle and much of Washington face serious problems chronic homelessness disorder in core business districts persistent budget deficits declining public school outcomes and a slowing technology hiring cycle. These challenges are not unique to the state, but Washington's response to them is Seattle's

rhetoric, vilifies employers even while she continues to rely on them for revenue.

“She has encouraged residents who disagree with her policies to leave.”

Yeah. Remember when the whole called it that? Yeah. The same thing right a couple years later, my please come back and didn't tell your friends to come back. In the state capital, the legislature and governor have confronted difficult fiscal trade

loss by emphasizing taxation rather than reform or performance management. The theory appears to be that prosperity can be mandated through redistribution rather than generated through growth.

Washington has a broken tax system, the reliance on sales taxes 10.55% in Seattle is deeply

regressive. The state needs to rewrite its tax code across the board in a way that ensures people and businesses alike pay their share.

“Now people and businesses pay their share as we all know that's the biggest con game.”

Yeah. So I'm assuming he's still a Democrat. Yeah. That's the biggest con game. Well, let's just text the companies and that's the biggest con game, the biggest BS that Democrats

have thrown on. Excuse me, they're constituent. Well, they pass it along to the consumer. All business is going to pass on that cost of doing business, including taxation. That's just the way it works.

It's a stealth tax on, as we've always said, that hurts the poor the most.

But instead of reform, those in power have opted to increase the burden on businesses and

“the social entrepreneurs in ways that discouraged them from growing within the state at a moment”

when Washington's economic situation is only is just growing more fragile. I want to play this audio cut from a great talk show host in Seattle, from KBI radio. We're on ribbon on KBI for a long time. One of our great, long time affiliates and as always, we thank them. But Erie Hoff, and yesterday talking about one of the studies that was done in Seattle

about business owners and whether they're planning to expand or not, here we go. Here's this. This survey that came out last night is one of the worst things I have ever seen. And for everybody on the left, two claims jobs aren't leaving wealth is inflating. You are dead wrong.

A 2026 spring employer survey released by the Association of Washington businesses, paints, dire, bleak. I don't know how many bad words there are to talk about this. 91%, 91% of business owners surveyed said they are not planning to expand their businesses in Washington state, 91% when 91% of the businesses in your state do not want to expand

in your state, you are screwed. Well, that's about as blunt as you can say it, but Erie Hoffman from our great affiliate KBI in Seattle, five years. Well, it is. And think about that, 91% that's almost half, and if you get to that math, which we do quickly,

it's not going, thank you, Erie, and it makes the great point. Your absolutely doomed, you are doomed when it comes to growth. Is this what you want? We don't, in Texas, want that for you. No, we don't, for Californians, want that for you.

I want California to be producing at its potential. As I've been saying for the longest time, capitalism is the original crowd funder. It lifts all boats, you know, complaining about the billionaires, including what he just mentioned there, Amazon, what we mentioned earlier, the companies with Amazon and Costco and from the article from the piece written by Howard Schultz, if you look at all of those companies,

let's throw an apple. We shouldn't have billionaires, great, hand over your iPhone and cancel your Amazon subscription now. Those don't exist. You don't get them.

Hand over all of the things when it comes to innovation, hand it over, because the

It's the innovation itself and the creation of, with that innovation, new advances to an

“entire culture, if you wonder why they haven't retired, no, Jeff, these are building”

a layer in California. But he's not retiring, no, they don't retire. They don't retire and why is Warren Buffett, now he stepped down to CEO, he's well into his 90s now and still believes in the same principle he did when he was going door to door selling Coca-Cola by the can, he bought a six pack for 25 cents, divided the

six pack up, made a nickel profit on every six pack as he sold each can for five cents. He had that mindset.

Let's write, I don't care where they are politically, innovation and bringing about that

type of mindset, whether I become a billionaire or not, if I learn from it, it improves the culture and that's the case for everybody, if we benefit from it for creating an efficiency where you have the world's information, all of it on your phone, in your hand, at any given moment, you can get information on anything and, well, just 30 years ago, not even 30 years ago, 20 years ago, without smartphones, you could

have to drive to the library to get this kind of information. It wouldn't be in your hands, you better have a computer at the very least. Well, you know, you may, you make such a great point when you talk about the billionaires out there that, you know, we've made this point many, many times, they're not out there laying on the beach all day, no, they're out there, they're being productive because what

is their addiction, their addiction is not money, it's not money, their addiction is being productive, and it's what it is, innovation, and it happens to expand wealth or

“do everything, discovering, discovering new things, but you have to, that's the, that's the”

one of the problems they're going to have, you know, trying to demonize billionaires is the fact that then why are these people still working, if they're evil, what's the point, you know, if there are money, if the vast majority of their money isn't American corporations, giving you jobs, how is that evil, right? And this is where conservatives, and even Democrats, you know, I was watching the bill

marketing with the federalmen, and they were talking about it, right? You've got more Democrats now talking about going, no, you've got to have, you've said, you know, this is a, how are chills, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is our partner with you in society, they're not the enemy, right? They advance to say it, but they have to be the enemy, and by the way, this is all, is

“what, you know, and, and Bill Maran, federalmen, we're talking about this, we'll explain”

more about it. This is why this is all about communism, every bit of it, we'll get to that coming up. We are right, I radio. This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by House products tested, trusted, guaranteed

since 1920, coming up mid May, the day the first generated the installation of a

electric power in many parts of rule America, the 90th anniversary of the Rolex vacation act. Christopher McClade is assistant administrator of USDA rule development's rule utility service. The successor agency to the rule electrification administration created under the rule electrification

act. The need to bring electric services to rural areas through a program that made loans available to rural communities and the rural electrification administration, they went out around the country to tell farm families about electricity and about the ability to form rural electric cooperatives, which are consumer-owned businesses that make it possible for communities

to take charge of their own destiny. The act itself was cited to law in 1936 during the Great Depression's grip on rural farms and economies, a broad-bane reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senax, Fules and Looms.

We're not picking on Seattle, we're not picking on New York, we're not picking on California, but these are the places where they are really trying the socialist/communist experiment.

when I say democratic, that is the umbrella of democracy over a constitutional republic

capitalist society, which is what we are, and they believe that it's wrong. But when you look at the demonization of business, business has to be bad, billionaires have to be bad, get rid of billionaires, get rid of billionaires, get rid of billionaires, you really don't want to major corporations, they want to exist.

“But then who takes over the corporations, the billionaires aren't there, what's left?”

The state, what was the Green New Deal about? The Green New Deal was making it so corporations could make a profit, so what would have to take over the government government? We're listing to Red Eyed Radio from the Red Leaf Factory Studio.

And we are Red Eyed Radio, I'm Gary McNamara, he's currently coming up in just a minute,

two major newspapers and support the president and his initiative initiatives on Iran say, "Hey, it's time to do something now, we'll get to that coming up." When it comes to supplements, wow, there are so many on the shelf, so many out there on the world, and you're looking for a couple of things really from a supplement. You want it to work, you want to know you can trust it.

But it comes to relief factor, I'm telling you, you can, and this is how I know, because we're over a decade, you've heard various hosts on the air actually endorsing relief factor, taking relief factor, putting their name behind it, because it works, plain and simple. relief factor actually offers a quick start option, and they actually lose money on this first offer.

But the reason they do it is because they want you to try this again, drug-free option.

To tackle your pain more than a million people have done that, and they've tried relief

factor, and about two-thirds go on to order more, and I am on board, I'm telling you, my pain is so different before and after relief factor, that I just, I want to share this information with you, and here's how you get started.

“You're three week quick start, all you have to do is just 1995, go to reliefactor.com,”

use Red Eye and the drop down for you three week quick start at 1995, or call 804 relief. That's 800, the number four relief. All right. Two editorials, yesterday, on the same day, one from the New York Post that supports what the president is doing in Iran, and wrote the editorial yesterday, re-open the straight

and quit playing along with Iran's talk-talk stall, with Iran's ceasefire on massive life support, it's time for president Trump to resume, project freedom, and get the straight-up or moves open to normal commercial traffic. Not Iran's traffic, of course, the blockade must continue until the Islamic Republic gives up its nuclear dust and verifiably ends its new program.

The president is entirely right that the Iranians have been tapping us along, keeping us waiting, making totally unacceptable counter-offers and generally playing games. From the start, Trump has said, the ceasefire was subject to Iran's complete, immediate, and safe opening of the straight. It's done no such thing.

“Indeed, it's only tried to make the reopening the only thing it does in exchange for endless”

list of U.S. concessions, including an end to the blockade, war reparations, and recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the straight. These are insults, not sincere negotiations. They think this president is as much of a sap as Barack Obama. Whoa.

Yeah. Now, we said that yesterday. Yeah. But now, we didn't make the same analogy of Obama, but we said the Iranians believe without question, Trump is bluffing.

Yep. As Trump also notes, Iran's been stringing the West along in this way for decades, demanding it be bribed to even talk, then splitting negotiations, excuse me, into tiny slices, each of which it then stretches out endlessly with even interim agreements evaporating along the way.

Enough. Our Gulf allies are now on board with project freedom. They should help execute, too, as we know some of them are. As should other allies with an interest in getting the oil and so on moving again, Britain

Once needed isn't merely U.S. Navy escorts, but decisive U.S. action against any efforts

“Iran makes to stop shipping, is shipping.”

Sink every boat that tries anything, eliminate every site, a missile or drone is launched from, resumed targeting all entire military command and control assets, get back to taking

out every revolutionary guard officer.

We, or the Israelis, can find whether or not the allies finally finished the bombing campaign interrupted at the start of April, keeps squeezing Iran until it agrees to the no-nooks terms, including as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump both insist, handing over its stockpile of enriched uranium. As best we can tell, the only reason to stick with life support for the ceasefire is

avoid to avoid complicating the President's talks in China later this week. But afterwards, he might as well pull the plug and proceed to impose Washington's will without getting dragged back into the talk talk stall.

“The regime's leaders think they can out wait us, but we have no need to wait on them.”

And then the Wall Street Journal editorial page, which is different than the news page.

Iran thinks Trump is bluffing. Yeah, the regime figures it can outlast the U.S. on the straight and uranium. Days late in tons of enriched uranium short Iran's regime rejected the U.S. piece offer on Sunday and replied with unsurious demands on Monday, President Trump called Iran's counteroffer a piece of garbage that leaves a ceasefire on massive life

support where the doctor walks in and says, sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living that's a quote from the President, call it a standoff, but before Iran's response Mr. Trump has said, said, if they don't agree, the bombing starts. He's also said we may go back to Project Freedom, the U.S. effort to guide commercial shifts through the straight of Hormuz.

If things don't happen, this would be Project Freedom, plus other things, which may be necessary to protect oil tankers. Iran spent last week trashing the ceasefire twice attacking U.S. warships with missiles, drones, and speedboats and repeatedly firing on the United Arab Emirates, the U.S. ally, the U.S. responded only to the sources of the fire with what President, the President, called just a love tap.

By clinging to the ceasefire through it all, Mr. Trump has sent the wrong signal. Iran's regime clearly thinks it can outlast a President who no longer wants to fight. They think that I'll get tired or I'll get bored or I'll have some pressure. Mr. Trump recognized in his remarks on Monday, but there's no pressure at all. We're going to have complete victory.

The problem is that he is under pressure and everyone knows it.

My else is the President now talking about pausing the gas tax. Mr. Trump is right about the regime's perception of him, but he'll have to prove them prove it wrong. The achievements of the war are real, as is really a prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid on on 60 minutes, and we've gone through all of them.

Yet, Mr. Netanyahu did not mince words about what remains to be done. It's not over. There's still nuclear material enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran. There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are ballistic missiles that they still wish to produce, Mr. Netanyahu reiterated a plan to draw down to zero US military aid by the way, noting that he previously

under reliance on US economic aid Israel has a tiny territory, but gigantic talent he says shares gems of intelligence and military technology, and everyone's pro-American because we appreciate what America stands for. This is an ally that Democrats and some of the right increasingly want to renounce naturally.

“Could a deal address the outstanding issues on Iran so far?”

No. The regime's counter-affirming rejected any dismantling of nuclear facilities. It demanded major sanctions relief before making nuclear commitments and sought to hang on to much of its enriched uranium and shorten a moratorium on further enrichment. This is a regime that thinks it can absorb economic pain from the US block aid longer

than Mr. Trump can tolerate higher prices for oil and petrochemicals. Mr. Trump will have to persuade Iran's leaders. They've underestimated him and the pain.

They can hold the line again if they believe and you pointed this out, if they believe

they're gone either way. They're going to hold the line and believe that the President is under pressure, which he is domestically, there is that pressure. The pricing pressure on fuel on gasoline and diesel, because diesel adds to the cost of shipping all the goods.

So, there is a great concern here when you look at how much time you have between now and November.

“And are you going to keep what the enemy certainly believes is bluffing?”

Are you going to keep doing that? Well, I mean, by him saying that Congress needs to get together. I mean, that would take a month or two before Congress could agree to. You know, do anything with the gas tax, but the time that gets together and they do it. And I haven't seen...

Oh, yes, I did. I see Josh Holley introduce something in the Senate, but still that may take a month to do. Which means you doesn't plan on doing anything. That's the message that it sends. And look, you have had, I think, every supporter, including us here, right, I radio with

what had to be done in Iran. It was eventually going to be done.

Remember, one of the advisors to Biden said, yeah, probably in the second term, we couldn't

run on it, but probably in the second term, we were going to go and take out nuclear sites. Whether that's true or not, they said it. He said that what they were going to actually do, whether Biden would have done that.

“I still have great doubts, but he said that's what they were advising him he needed”

to do in his second term. So, everybody knows it needed to happen. So, you've got a Democrat should roll kind of out there the other day on Fox News, talking about the fact that Obama did it and it's like, come on, all you have to do is show all the Democrats that said it was a piece of crap deal, including Schumer, including Schumer

who went over and over again, what a bad deal that it was.

They weren't serious. They were giving, they were the Democrats, both Biden and Obama were rewarding Iran and making sure they got billions of dollars to their surrogates that only goal is to attack Israel and American interests. Right.

Yep.

“And so, you know, but they did recognize that the deal was crap, even Democrats recognize”

that Obama deal was crap. Well, but now, when you look at this right now, and we've supported the president and what is going on, it is now. The image now is not okay, I'm giving them enough rope. The image now is day after day after day, this is becoming a Costanza negotiation.

Yep. They're trying to get you, you've demanded this, and then the stories keep coming out, you know, you're backing off, you're backing off, you're backing off, you're backing off. And then he says, no, I'm not backing off. This is what we expect, and if they don't do something, we're back into it, and then they

don't do it, and we're not back into it again. You lose credibility, you lose credibility with the world, you lose credibility with your own supporters, and that's the point that right now, which is why I thought it was fascinating that we had said it yesterday show that Iran believes the president's bluffing, that he's not going to do anything, and then boom, the media yesterday, the supporters of this,

the two biggest supporters of the media, the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and New York Post come out and say, Mr. President, you've got to do something. Well, they're looking at you as a paper tiger. You look at, uh, in the wake of October 7, you look at Hamas, that we, we talked about this. So, a proxy of Iran funded by Iran.

And Hamas and Iran both watched as the anti-Semitism grew, and on the left, they were going out of their way to demonstrate here in the U.S. on the left their anti-Semitism. And then you throw in a few on the right, or used to be on the right, or alt-right, or what are we calling it now? I don't know. And you've got what you think is U.S. domestic support for your own side.

And I think Iran probably believes that, again, politically, the left doesn't want to help

They know that at the very least, but they also know that the left is the party of anti-Semitism.

So anything to hurt Israel long term would in turn help Iran. So, they're sitting and they're waiting.

“And the question is, what are you going to do next?”

Because you can't stall forever. It's been 47 years, you started this mission, and it has to be completed. Full stop. We are right, I radio.

Coming up, more with Gary McNamara, and Eric Carley, it's Red Eye Radio.

We are Red Eye Radio, and he's our currently non-Gerry McNamara. And I think it was the near post that said maybe when the president comes back from China, this will all change. He doesn't want to do it before. He goes over to China to go after Iran, but something has to happen.

We said a week ago, we said something has to happen in the next couple of weeks, because it's becoming the same thing over and over again. Yeah. Right. Right.

What did they call it? What was the thing when it, oh, Groundhog Day? Yeah. It's a president says we're, you know, oh, Iran really wants to have a deal. Oh, yeah.

They really want to have a deal. This deal is complete garbage. It's ridiculous. They're not serious.

“Then, okay, I really think they want to have a deal.”

Then the next deal is worse.

It's like stop, constance, and negotiating, and finally, it got to the point where even

his most stalwart supporters on this war are saying, you've got to do something. You can't continue to do this. Right. What's the endgame? Right.

This is Ridae Radio on Westwood One. Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Many people seem to be incubating a rage looking for somewhere to go.
