05-13-26 Part One - Out-Rage in Commie Land

Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day, whether you're up late or you're just starting your day. Welcome to the show from the Relief Factor Studios. This is Red Eye Radio.

All across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is here, Carly, and I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning. Hello. And just the headline.

Yeah. The headlines are just themselves. And these are legitimate headlines. Right. Okay.

This is not the Babylon B. Yeah. You didn't earn that. AOC's unintentional confession.

Well, she cannot earn a billion dollars because she is useless.

Yeah, I've said that a few times since she made that comment, she can't earn a billion. Right. So she can earn a billion, so she believes nobody else can. Right. But then this one, Democrats still wait, excuse me, Democrats still willing to consider candidates

without Nazi tattoos. Yeah. Right. Still still willing to consider them. Oh my gosh, I love it.

Oh my gosh, you know, this is the thing. At one point in my life, I remember when my dad retired from the military, he went on to have a second career truck driving. But when he retired from the military, I thought, oh man, it's big great. My brother-in-law retired as a major from the Air Force after 20 years.

And he was like 40, 42 somewhere there, and I thought, oh man, that'd be great.

She went on to a second career too.

And I thought to myself, you know, back then at those times, oh man, retire, oh be great. I can't because of the headlines you just brought.

“It would be impossible, the torment I would go through because what am I going to do?”

Give up my smartphone, that can't happen. I need my smartphone, have to go back to a flip phone, so I can't see anything. Just to have to put blinders on like the Democrats do, was it marine doubt that said that her friends all draw the curtains and close the blinds and shut the doors when there's and turn the TV off when there's bad news about Democrats.

Yeah, I'd have to pretty much exclude myself from everything. It would drive me nuts. Well, I guess this means that both ALC and then Tom Simkowski, if you remember Tom Simkowski, the character from office space, remember when the bobs are in there, and I go, what about this Tom Simkowski, he's useless.

Yeah, that's so funny, and then this got to me because this is like we're doing a classic rock show today, let's play the oldies, but goodies, I'm like, wow, here we go, and there are so many, here's, here's this, ready for this headline? What do you got? Rage against the machines, Tom Morello faces backlash after singing at New York City Ice

protest rally, wow. Thinking. Remember, they are actually, when you break it down as we said years ago, I mean, we're all back what, 20 years ago? Yeah, probably.

“When was it when Rage against the machining green day was that was that bush?”

That was bush, I think. I thought Clinton, but go ahead and we said, wait a minute, there are, you know, him and Zagdila Roka, they're, they're, they're freakin' Marxists, they're Rage for the machine. Yeah.

They don't believe in freedom, they don't believe in independence, they don't believe in the rule of law in a democracy. Right. Were you saying bush 41? 'Cause I might have been bush, four, I think for green day was bush 41.

I think.

Yeah, no, no, no, they didn't have their first album, they're only good album.

It was before I moved here. It was '94, '95? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, somewhere in there.

Yeah. Cool. Yeah. What have been, yeah. Yeah.

Okay. But Rage for the machine.

“I mean, that's, you know, that, and I think that was really when we started saying that.”

And I can't remember when I started saying Rage for the machine, they're not Rage against

Because you cannot be a socialist Marxist and talk about the independence and the rights

of the individual. Because the whole concept of that is that you are controlled by the state, right? And, and when I look back at it, it's like, oh, okay, they were actually the leaders of projection, accusing the other side what they actually are. And identifying themselves as what they actually are not.

Yeah. Yeah.

“That, as we've always said, if you're a Marxist socialist, you have to lie about everything.”

But I was funny, because some of the comments box has a story of the comments after he spoke, and he said the Trump administration is the authoritarian clown show and called for a mass movement of peaceful anti-fascist crime fighters. Now he's using the term fascist now, it's like apparently he's taken such a long vacation that he has realized the fascist label has been used up already.

Yeah. Right. Yeah.

There's just a couple of years ago.

Yeah. Some of the responses box has here, "Performs being the app word here, like a Connie Circus Clown, low-life Tom Morello wants Americans to be murdered by illegal aliens and trillions wasted on them. F this guy, there it is.

So now he's raging for the machine, he pretended to rage against, does he even know that? Well, to that person, you know, welcome to what we've been saying. Yeah. He's never known that. They don't know.

No. They're not talking about freedom from the machine. They're talking about everybody getting in line with the machine. With the machine, exactly. Where the rule of law, if you don't believe the rule of law in a constitution of republic, in

a democracy under the umbrella of a democracy, then you're the fascist. Right. Yep. You want chaos. Look, we're so old, we remember when Antifa was Antifa.

Mm-hmm.

“Remember that when they first came out, because we had talked about them a long time”

before they ever hit it, and we're not calling them Antifa because Antifa fascists. And it's like Antifa, we're like, "You can't even pronounce it right, it's you're almost like the Democrats in Virginia who can't even spell." Yeah. You saw that, right?

Yeah. Yeah. It couldn't spell Senator Wright, and then they, they, they had it labeled for the wrong court. You know?

And they just can't get it. This is all the redistricting stuff. Right. And they repeal on it. And it's like, wow.

Yeah. And it's lawyers and legal experts preparing those briefs. I know. Yeah. Well, what comes with far left liberalism is also complete in total incompetence.

Well, this is why they believe it's impossible to become a billionaire. Because from their useless perspective, a being absolutely highly underqualified for anything, they can't. There's no way in the world. It won't happen.

It ain't gonna happen.

“But the one thing that I, that I loved was because all all you have to do is Democrat right”

now is make noise and say the stupidest things like AOC did this week. Yeah. And she's risen to the top now of the Democrats for 20, 28 in the latest poll. You saw that. Yeah.

And all you have to do is ask her, she's going to run and then she gets in this Rockstar mode. I want to change our country. This is how easily the Democratic parties rank in file is swayed by that BS. Yeah.

Yeah. That's absolute garbage. I saw that yes, who is by the way, make it happen, I want that debate stage to happen all day. I just, I burst out laughing when I saw that one and I said typical.

Because remember what she said, the two things, the billionaire and what was the other things she said? There was a, the one that you kept, the billionaire and there was another thing that you said. Yeah.

That was the other one. It was just a stupid. And it was conservatives that promoted the daylight side of it. It wasn't, it wasn't liberals. Right.

So conservatives that go, this is the most idiotic thing you can possibly imagine. What AOC said here, this is idiotic. It's moronic.

It's, it's the intelligence of a, a first grader.

I'm sorry. I'm insulting first graders here. I mean, that's how, because there's just jokes about it.

at all.

She rises right to the top of the, yeah, of the Democrat polls for 20, 28 in the latest

poll. Yeah. Yep. Because, because it doesn't matter what are it, whether it's the truth. It doesn't matter whether it doesn't make any sense at all.

It doesn't matter whether there are any dots that are connected. It's just if you say the other side is evil and you say it loud enough. And the other side mocked you on it because it's so ridiculous that they go, that must be the key.

“That must be, that's how we're going to win.”

So let's go for her now. Yeah. Yeah. She's the kind of radical that we need that is completely and totally clueless as to how the world actually works.

That's exactly it. But that's where the party is now. That's exactly who they are. Well, I mean, you think about it. One of the perfect examples is the governor's race in California, and you look at it.

And it's obvious, these are all the people that have been a part of running California. They all sit there and say there's these horrible problems that they created. And so they created the problem. And then they claim that everything they've done is the right thing. But if you put them into power, they're going to solve the problem by doing the right

thing that God california to the point of where they are now that everybody's complaining with. You can't make this crap up. No, that's, I mean, and that's it. Who's going to fix what we've done.

Right. Well, we'll tell you what we're going to do more of the same. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, I mean, it's, it's bizarre, swallwell dated a spy.

And it was known. He was called the snapchat king on Capitol Hill, yet up until everything fell out. He was doing very well in the gubernatorial race in California. My point is they knew the people of California know and had heard the stories about his behavior.

Don't say nothing won't be nothing. Oh, and then the best part with that. Another headline from Jonathan Turley, watching Tom Styer desperately seek forgiveness from the left for being a billionaire is reminiscent. Yeah.

Of the struggle sessions of the cultural revolution where the affluent or educated would confess all of their sins and the headline California billionaire Tom Styer dodges the question

of AOC's claim that one can earn a billion dollars.

Yeah. So now he's got to deal with the fact that the Democrats believe that if you're a billionaire, you're evil. Right. You'll be running because now in just the last couple of days because she said it's

not possible. Oh, that's what it was. You can't become a billionaire.

“And added the point because you have to be evil, you're committed to crime somehow.”

Yeah. Yeah. They do it by breaking the rules and carrying crimes. And so because then like California billionaire Tom Styer dodges questions, an AOC's claim that one can't earn a billion dollars.

She previously said it was a myth that a person could earn a billion dollars.

Right. Wow. Well, there are big donors on the left. I'd love to know where the donors are. Well, because this is not exclusive to AOC, the whole eliminate billionaires thing.

But because you got to be in line, it's the new thing they're on. They're dry erase board this week says no billionaires. And where are they going to get the money? Oh, the other one was the American Revolution was fought against billionaires. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

“That's what that was the foundation of the country was a fight against billionaires.”

So that will the donors go to her because let's let's lay this out very it only takes a couple of seconds to lay this out. We just did the story earlier this week. Kamala Harris, the donors are like, we don't want to touch her. She's an idiot.

The things she says are completely in totally idiotic. She can't complete a sentence. All right, AOC comes in completely moronic. The things that she has said, complete idiocy, completely false. Our donors going to say, well, let's go from Kamala Harris to AOC because remember,

are being pulled.

We always said, follow the money.

That's where you'll see the vibrant campaign, the viable and vibrant campaigns.

“That's what happened to, in fact, Harris in 2019, the money just was never there.”

It's not going to be there this time. But given the Exodus of billionaires in blue states and blue cities, I have to believe you don't put your, because here's what it used to be. Billionaires would give to the left, including Donald Trump, thinking it would buy you favor legislatively, thinking that, well, I'll soften the blow here by donating.

Now they know this group means business.

Back when Donald Trump gave money to Hillary Clinton's campaign, that was a very different

scenario. Now, hoping you were looking to buy, you would give, in fact, billionaires would often give to both sides. Now, when it came to Warren Buffett, he gave to both sides on the left in the primary of 2008. He gave to Hillary and to Obama equally, because he didn't want to have to make a choice.

But they do it to buy favor. But now they know this group is serious. And I can't wait to follow the money on this next season.

Now that's the actual season.

This is just, it was one poll at this in tell, but it also had Rubio winning the Republican nomination by a landslide. Interesting.

Hi, I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller. Once a roadside inspection is completed, the officer will close it out. If violations were discovered, most officers, as a courtesy, will explain the violations to the driver. If there were any out-of-service violations, the officer will normally explain what must

be done to get the out-of-service order lifted. Drivers need to be very attentive during this part of the inspection. The driver also needs to read and understand the complete inspection report. The driver has 24 hours to get the roadside inspection report to the motor carrier. If the driver will not be returning to a company facility within the next 24 hours, the driver

needs to know to get it on the way to you via email, mail, or fax within 24 hours. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com Get in touch with Red Eye Radio, toll-free at 866, Mindy Red Eye. We are Red Eye Radio.

He is there. I'm hearing Mac and America coming up on the bottom of the hour. We will get coming up here on a little bit, we will get to the inflation numbers. The latest polling out there, and we know it's a long time away, and we know polls tend to not be accurate, but when you compare the Atlas and Telpole, which was the most accurate

pollster for the presidential election in 2024 and in 2020, and they show a completely different scenario, both on the Republican and the Democrat side, and we'll make this comparison of it, someone's methodology is way off, because for example, for the, you look at the, you see here, the Harvard Harris poll, the Republican poll, there is a difference of 45 points, wow, now does, does that show the, uh, the indecisiveness of the electorate, this

far out, could be, it's, it's interesting, we'll get to that coming up next. Again, 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 Surrey be there or would page be there?”

Hey, it's 100% there. So when you're setting up Logan Paul to frog splash you through the announced table, it's going through your mind, this should make every headline in the world, but it makes sense, right in the jelly roll. We knew we had that kind of a moment, mindset, motivation, and what it takes to succeed.

relief factor story that he wants to share with you.

He's a hardworking guy, George is, he spends 10 hours a day on a garbage truck. It's a tough job. It was even tougher when all of a sudden his sore right knee wouldn't bend.

“And then he started taking relief factor, and he writes, "I can bend my knee again with”

very little pain. Good for you, George. I'm getting the same results. In fact, my lower back for me, George was the problem. And it didn't matter what I did. I had to, in fact, constantly do stretches and everything else, or maybe sometimes just sit it out, right? Not do not finish the project, not go on the long hike or whatever it is. Because of my lower back, not anymore thanks to relief factor. We want you to get the same relief George got that I got from

Poles are always fun a year and a half out. Oh, they're the most fun right now. They're

really the, they're just, they're so much fun. Nate Bargaz is leading in Tennessee and he's not even running. Here we go. All right. If you look at, we'll go back to April 28th when there were the Harvard Harris poll was done. Okay. Yeah. And for example, Harris led, she had 50%. This is for the Democratic nomination. She was at 50. Newsom was at 22. But the judge and ALC at eight Shapiro and Kelly at nine, Pritzker at six. All right. Harris was up 28 points.

Yeah. All right. Yeah. On the other side, the Harvard Harris poll. Vance 48, Trump Jr. 18, Rubio 16, Desantis nine, Robert Kennedy Jr. And Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz, Ramaswami, Junkin and governor camp at four. Tucker Carlson with four. So that was on April 28th. Okay. All right. By the way, if Pritzker ever makes the debate stage in the prime viewers in 28, he's immediately going to be booed off because it's a multi-billionaire.

That's right. He can't be there. Right. He's easy. He's evil. We don't have to say that Pritzker and Stire are crux. No, the left will do all that. Right. Yeah. And this has nothing to do with his weight when it comes to Pritzker. No. So you guys quit saying that because that's wrong. Yes. It's about his network. Right. Not as soon that because he's quit saying it. Just don't assume because he's packed on a few pounds. Right. That, you

know, because he's a crook is a billionaires. Yeah. That's more than his fair share or something like that. That he practiced. Stop that. That he practices glory. That's just stop those rumors now. Right. Hammer adds 300 pounds. Yeah. So stop it. So we go to May 11th. All right. Okay. Monday, May 11th. This early this week. The financial times Harris up 22. She has 38 new some 16. But a judge in ALC at nine. Okay. Okay. On the Republican

side, Vance up by 25. He's got 40 Rubio 14 Trump Jr. 15 to Santa's eight. All right. Okay. Mr. Carlson, too. Cruz has three. So Cruz is beating Tucker Carlson. Oh, barely. So now we

really, if you think about it, this is from the 4th till the 7th. So the majority of this,

“it really hadn't settled in. I don't think it was out yet because that would have been what”

six days ago, the end of the poll. Yeah. By the way, I have zero. That means I'm only three points behind Ted Cruz. That's weird. But, but, but no, but the point is if it was six days old, uh-huh. The billionaire stuff from ALC wasn't out yet. Yeah. Yeah. True. But in the Atlas Intel poll from the they came out yesterday, but it was done the fourth through the 7th. Okay.

All right. Uh, now remember, Atlas Intel, the most accurate pollster of the presidential

election. Uh-huh. Number one with the bullet. Yeah. Number one with the bullet. Yeah. I like people might think we're violent or that's a radio thing. Or we're just very, very, very, very old school radio. Yeah. Exactly. Either way, it would be wrong. Yeah. But Atlas Intel, the most accurate pollster for the presidential election. Yeah. The last two elections has ALC in the lead for the Democrat side with 26 new some, excuse me, but

“a judge, 22 new some 21 Harris 13. So if you want, if you want to look at it from the Harvard”

Harris poll just a few weeks ago, where, uh, she had 50. Yeah. Uh, she's lost a significant portion of that. She's lost 37 points. Now, has she lost 37 points or is the methodology of one of these posters completely bogus or even in a random survey this far out. People really have not made a decision of who they want. All right. So you have, but ALC with 26 new some 21 Harris 13. Yeah. Everybody else had two or zero. That was it. Uh, you, you

basically had ALC put a judge knew some in Harris. Now, in the Republican side, now this

is mind boggling because no one saw this one coming. Uh, Rubio leads with 45. Vance has 30. Desantis 11 Kennedy, excuse me, excuse me, Trump, junior zero. Wow. And I know someone says, give me, I know what you're asking. All right, guys, explain it. I can't explain it. I don't

“know. I, I don't know. It's early. That's the only thing I can say. Now, I will say this.”

The one thing that I think, I don't know how to read the, the, the, the, the Democrat side because I, I can't, it's very, it's, we can tell you that the things that they believe are insane and explain why they're insane. Yeah. I can't explain to you what's going through their brains in the polling and why ALC would be leading. You know, I, I just can't. Now, I can, for the Republican side, uh, you know, if the Atlas Intel is more accurate,

and remember, we're so far out that again, I think what it may give you an indication is people are, and we talked about this the other day. Republicans are extremely pleased with how Rubio explains what the president is doing. Yeah. Yeah. And he has a way of debating, uh, on the, on the, the, the, the, the national stage, which to sand us doesn't have people like to sand us, but he's a governor of Florida. He not out there every day. Right. Rubio's

out there every day, you see Rubio a lot more than you see vans. And the fact that, you know, Trump hasn't jumped in and we know that Rubio has said that he's not, you know, he won't, he won't run against fans. We'll see, we'll see what happens in, in the long run in that one. I really believe that Republicans, because I know I talked to Republicans all the time and they rolled their eyes, they, they agree with what so much of Trump is doing, but the like my God, he can't

instantaneously, you go, wow, this is how you explain it. Right. You know, Trump in incredible

“communicator, when he first ran, because we knew exactly what he wanted. He identified the”

problem as we have said, but when you get into the specifics, we talked about yesterday, you know, when he was talking to, he took the, the, the, the, the question. And, and, and the first thing we said is we know exactly what he's saying that, you know, prices don't matter when you're fighting a war, you fight the war to win a war. Yeah, you're not focused on the price you can't let the pressure domestically. Once, once you made the commitment on the mission, you can't do that. You've got

to fulfill the mission. Right. We understand exactly, but the way he said it was not that way. Well, there is a better answer. And you can say splitting hairs, but splitting hairs will matter.

Well, yeah, splitting hairs when you the problem is, is that the video went viral. The leftist

media made it viral. Right. And, and so, you know, when you say not for one minute, you're not focused on prices. The better answer is, well, we're looking to free the world of the kind of tyranny that Iran has put upon the world, which means a freer world, which means capitalism is a greater influencer for everybody and benefits everybody. So, yeah, that's part of the point of free world includes capitalism. So, if that satisfies your answer,

yeah, but that's not the main point of the mission. The first thing is to, of course,

“rid them of nuclear ability, and that's what we're doing. Right. I didn't write that. I didn't have”

to. I didn't have to think hard about it. No. Well, the first thing I thought of was that little clip.

And they won't, again, it will be used in, it'll be used in ads. Yeah. If we're not out in prices, don't, you know, don't moderate. They're not going to come down. I mean, gasoline prices will come down. Right. And you may see, you know, because food was up because of shipping, because of fuel prices. But once they'll, those, all, if, if they can end it in a month and everything comes down again with how the Democrats are performing, especially in Congress right now. CNN did one of the

polling yesterday. You know, it could, it could change everything for this upcoming, you know, midterm. So, Democrats are so bad. You know, that is the Republicans best hope, you know, right now. Right. But that little, if prices were still involved in this and prices are still high and gasoline through the roof, they're going to take that little clip where he said, I don't spend a minute thinking about prices. Right. And that's, you know, and that's where you

have to pay attention to the things that you say and, and, uh, Rubio does. Yes, you know, Rubio, when he filled in last week at the White House press briefing. Perfect. Yeah. Every answer was as perfect as you could possibly get. And as we have said, the biggest problem that the Republicans and this administration has had is communicating the wins. Well, and the one thing that Rubio's done since his time in the Senate, and it's a very different scenario being in the Senate,

is he quit flinching, he quit walking around, he quit walking around the direct answer. Yes. Yeah. And as Secretary of State, it's paramount. But also in today's world, it's paramount. You can no longer go back to the days of the blah, blah answer. Nobody wants to hear it. They want, they want to hear the truth, and directly, and they want to hear conviction in your answer. We all read our radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, it's Red Eye Radio.

We're in our radio. He's our crowning and I'm hearing McNamara. Yeah. So I mean, it's fun to

“look at the polls here, and we always enjoy it. But I think when you see such a difference from”

pole to pole, somebody should at least explain that part of it probably is methodology, but probably a lot of it is the fact that nobody has made up their mind. It's so far away that nobody's made up their mind. Well, and the Democrats, the rank and file on the left are a fickle group. A part of identity politics is to retrain the mind to, again, find the next victim,

Well, because Tom Stire could be in the California, Gubernatorial Race could be the

oppressor and Presquer if he decided to run could be the oppressor, too. The exact billionaire. Right. Yeah. I wouldn't want to be a Democrat who's a billionaire and be sitting on that debate stage.

“Right. And I really think that the difference in the polling, not that Rubio would win.”

Because I don't think he would run, but the fact is he it just shows that Republican the base is very pleased with his performance. Yeah. Because I do believe the base believes that

this administration does not communicate as effectively as they could. Right. On a number of areas.

Out to the our news is brought to you by how products. Visit how products dot com. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One. Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day. Whether you're up late or you're just starting your day. Welcome to the show from the Relief Factor Studios. This is Red Eye Radio. All across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is here. Currently, I'm Gary McNamara.

All right. Say you ready? I'm ready. Inflation. Yeah. I came out yesterday. Yeah.

As we all know, I'm looking at the, okay, here it is. Okay. I'm going to make sure I got the right

“chart here. Bureau of Labor Statistics here. If you want to know where we get the information from,”

which is directly from the Trump administration. Yeah. Right. The Consumer Price Index increased 0.6%. After rising 0.9% in March, that's because gasoline prices skyrocketed in March. Right. They still went up in April, but not as much as they did in March. And that's really the, I think that was 40%. The index for energy rose 3.8% in April, accounting for over 40% of the monthly all items increase. The shelter index also increased in a rising 0.6%.

The index for food increased 0.5% over the month as the index for food at home rose 0.7%

“and the index for food away from home increased 0.2%.”

The index for all items taking out food and energy rose 0.4% in April. The all items index rose 3.8% for the 12 months ending in April. The core inflation, which is all items less than food and energy rose 2.8% over the year following a 2.6% increase over the 12 months ending in March. The energy index increase 17.9% for the 12 months ending in April. Yeah. The food index increased 3.2% over the last year. The one thing that I saw was

missing 3.8% with ending in April 3.8% and wages up 3.6% over the time. So wages not keeping up with the inflation. Whatever the reason and that's all that matters. You can, you can say whatever you want, but prices matter to people. As we've said before, when people say yeah, but the stock market, stock market is not prices. GDP is not prices. Job growth is not prices. It's individual and it affects everybody every single day that's the challenges of administration still has and the

Republicans have going into the midterms. If prices were to problem, I really wonder what it would look like for Republicans versus Democrats because the Democrats are so insane on everything. Yeah. But you look at it. Gasoline in April was up 5.6%. So it's been up, it's up 30% really over the last year. I'm sorry that's that was an all energy. Gasoline 28.4% fuel oil 54.3% which is going to affect

year and it was up 2.1% for April. April alone. A utility gas service was actually down.

“That's to be expected though. You would expect if you have a April as you get into the”

warmer season, there's more of a gas. Right, less demand and less demand, but still up 3% over the last year. I'll see if my natural gas prices are going down. New vehicles down 0.2% for April. Use cars and trucks, no change down for the year minus 2.7%. What's that going to look like if the kill switch comes in? Yeah, something tells me that ain't going to happen. A peril, a 0.6% a peril, a 4.2% over the last year. Shelter was up 0.6% for the month 3.3% for the year. Transportation

services, 0.3% that's 4.3% for the year. Medical care services, 3.2% so we'll see what also

“we're looking at here. The index for food at home, 2.9% fruits and vegetables rose.”

6.1% over the last 12 months. So, there you go. That's basically it. If you can sit there

and you can say, yeah, but the war is responsible because of gasoline, we probably would be because of oil going up. You probably would be correct because it affects everything. And some of those things that weren't affected as much in March would be affected in April, because it would be delayed. You know, those price increases might be delayed a month at that point. You know, it's again, that's the biggest problem when you think about it. That's the biggest

problem Republicans have in this administration has. And we've said it since day one. Yeah, of this device. It's really since before the war. Because this has been this bringing prices down promise was a problem to begin with. That shouldn't have been a campaign promise in 24. It should have been to stabilize the economy. And leave it at that. Don't make the promises. President Trump didn't have to,

as a candidate in 2016, didn't have to directly make promises on the border. Just had to have a position of being strong on the border. And that worked for him. He didn't have to get into the weeds on on things. And there were promises you didn't have to make in 24. And that comes back to haunt you even before the war. So because there's nothing you can do about bringing prices back to 2019 levels. You can't do anything about that. That's not going to happen. Even if you hit your

target rate of 2% on inflation. And that were to maintain for years on it. Then you would have still an increase in prices from where they are now. It's just how inflation works. And that should have been it. That should have been again. Look, we didn't break this. And because of inflation, we're not going to be able to bring prices down to 2019. What we can do is we can through deregulation. We'll do everything in our power to bring earnings up. That's it. That's all you

have to say. But then you add to it the war and the cost of energy. And that's always this is

one thing we talk about with companies coming here to the US to do business. They want first and foremost cheap, plentiful energy. They want less regulation. All these things make them more profitable.

“So when you talk about investment in the US, companies coming here to set up job. That's what we've”

talked about for years. And with the war, it is temperate. It is a geopolitical effect. But the question is, again, how long can you stall? And because I don't know that it is necessarily a stall, but the conversation and the messaging sounds like a stall. I don't know what's going on behind the scene. Well, I'm not in the situation room. So, you know, that's, but it people most people don't

So I have to give them benefit of the doubt. Note what they see is, 430, 440, and higher,

“per gallon at the pump when they go to fill up their cart once a week, twice a week, or however,”

often they have to. And I don't believe, you know, because the president lost the basically the

15% tariffs, which went down to 10%, probably tariffs aren't a reason why prices may be a little higher because of it, but they would be higher if the Supreme Court hadn't made that decision. As to the trade court, that hasn't gone into effect yet. So the 10% tariffs are still there. Now, the president, again, and it's interesting because I went, you know, because of the price of beef right now. And I just went, because it came out about a week ago, he may lower the tariffs or suspend

the tariffs on beef. I know there might be a good thing to do because I've really hardly ever eat beef

“or hamburgers or anything at all until the summer comes. I probably ate more beef during the”

summer than I do all year, so when he lowered it and the administration suspended the

tariff rate quotas on beef and said, we're lowering the tariffs. We're suspending the tariffs in order to make beef more affordable than Charlie Cook writes from this on X, not a national review, but on X. As Trump has explained, tariffs do not raise prices and are paid for by foreigners, which is why checking notes here, suspending or removing then lowers prices and make things more affordable. Yeah. And this is the problem, just like in December. Well, the biggest

credibility problem that Trump has on this with conservatives is not the fact that tariffs can't be used to people are involved in unfair training practices. Right. It's the fact of trying to tell conservatives that raising the cost of doing business lowers prices or telling conservatives that foreigners as he's still doing are paying the tariffs as he's lowering the tariffs, how many times has he's lowered the tariffs and said, I'm

lowering the tariffs so you can afford these prices and it will bring prices down. So he's talking out of both sides of his mouth, one White House visit from King Chuck to do away with the Scottish whiskey tariffs. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's not even just it's on your point of lowering prices. They've admitted it how many times now. But then also on the lack of justification when it's like, that was a good meeting and we'll do away with the tariffs. And it was, it made me want to have my own

no kings rally because the problem is. No, the issue at hand is and we've set it from the beginning.

Whatever your tariff game is going to be, choose it and stick with it. Of course, the court handed him a defeat. But even before then, it was all over the place. Well, but even on that, I mean, he was back out again the other day, you know, going after the courts and saying they're, you know, they're doing it because they're in favor of China. Right. No, a president cannot tax American companies. Right. Congress can the executive branch can't do it. Congress can.

And on the last one, where Congress specifically said, well, long time ago when we were in the gold standard that if balance of payments are out of whack, the executive branch can use tariffs,

“everyone knows. That's why even his supporters didn't back him on when the, when the trade”

court came out. You didn't see the backers saying they did something wrong because he's promoting trade imbalance. Trade imbalance is not balance of payments as we've explained before. It's so crystal clear, legally, and he's out there still rallying that they're for the Chinese. It doesn't do you when you good, you're not, you're not getting anywhere with conservatives who understand economics. Right. And, you know, that's, that is a, that's one of the biggest

problems for this administration right now and for Republicans because conservatives know the populist because there's the populist wing, which is raw, raw, raw. Look, you see the latest one

justify the new tariffs coming in that no foreign company, no foreign company should be able to

produce more than what their own country handles. Right. And if they, if they produce more and ship it over here, well, that's a reason for us to retaliate with tariffs. Well, for God's sakes, Boeing and American companies and American company then has to stop with two thirds of their production because two thirds of their production goes overseas. Right. I mean, it's, you're, you're talking, you're talking economic BS here over and over again to justify something that's

“killing you politically. Yeah. And, and you're not getting, I saw the other day. I think it was”

best enough. They're saying, uh, saying, look at this. Because of the tariffs, you know,

we've exported more than we've ever exported before, which, of course, we're always going to do

as the economy increases. He didn't mention the fact that the trade imbalance hasn't changed. Right. You know, so they're, they're picking and choosing and conservatives economically are not idiots. They understand what's going on. And the BS, as we said from the very beginning and we were criticized severely for that, manufacturing has lost 80,000 jobs over the last year. The trade imbalance has not lowered. The economy is at 2 percent, uh, and so much of the economy is medical.

Job, even the job creation, Trump even said it the other day because so much of the new jobs are people getting part-time jobs working to jobs. A president even admitted it the other day. Right. And most of it is medical fields. Manufacturing's getting killed in this country, job wise. Well, the debate ended for me and I didn't end it. You didn't end it. The Trump administration ended it when they announced 200 plus food tariffs would be drawn down. Yeah. To save families,

money, right. And the same with beef. Don't, you don't have to debate me, debate them. They're, they're, they're doing the way with the tariffs, saves families money. Then why wouldn't you draw down all tariffs? It's not going to happen where it goes to zero. I don't expect that. But why not take the brunt of what you have in place now and

“eliminate it or drop it down to where it was before to save families money? Why wouldn't you do that?”

Is it pride? I can't tell you. The debate isn't with me. It's with them. We are Red Eye Radio. This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by house products,

tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. It is now mid-May, but I think we can finally

quit the rest. Any additional freeze concerns for the central and eastern United States? With USDA mirrorologist Brad Ripy-Sague, late April early may cold out breaks and freeze events, following record warped in March and early April, raised crop concerns. With specialty crops and with winter wheat, it often doesn't take very long to do significant damage at a certain stage of development. And in the case of fruit trees, plants,

“divides in freeze event locals. Concerns have extended from the Midwest into the mid-Atlantic”

and northeast extensive reports of damage to a variety of specialty crops and at least on a local to regional scale this could result in reduction of fruit availability. It's also extended into the wine grape sector and we could see a year where we don't see a whole lot of wine production in some of the hardest hit areas of the northeast and mid-Atlantic. I'm Rod Bayn reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC. This report brought to you by

Senax Fules and Luke. We are Rod Bayn. We are Rod Bayn. We are when our video, he is our Crony and I'm Gary McNamara. And the other thing, and you were talking about before, you know, with the Warren Iran and inflation and everything else, every day the fish goes on. Every day this is goes on with their indecision from the White House. And we saw it, we mentioned it the other day when

two of the biggest supporters in the media, the president, which is the New York Post. And the Wall Street Journal editorial page on the war with the ran of said, "Do something."

the he hasn't said it in the last 36 hours," said Iran wants a deal. And maybe we're getting a deal.

I mean, the talk is much more negative now, but every day that the liberal media throws out accusations about whether they're true or not about what Iran is doing, that they have their missile sites back, whatever, every single day, erodes the support from his own party. Daytime is overrated, nights are where it's at, with Gary and Iran. Right, right, right, that's true. The big guy speaks the truth.

So I'm editorial board, Wall Street Journal. Yeah.

“The Senate, but they did, they confirmed him yesterday. Did they confirm him?”

Kevin Wars was confirmed, I thought. Well, you know, it was interesting,

that his poises week to be confirmed. I thought he was, just, well, Newsmax reported that he was confirmed. Others, all the other sources, said cleared a key Senate hurdle, which I thought was committee. Okay, all right. But it said, here's from Newsmax.com. You have said it on Tuesday, confirmed Kevin Wars as to a 14-year term as federal reserve governor, marking an important step toward his 16-year power. Okay. So not as, not as, uh, I, okay, okay, sure. That's what, okay.

Yeah, so, but here it is. Yeah, because I saw that same thing too, and I'm like, oh, okay.

The Senate is poised this week to confirm Kevin Wars's a new chair of the federal reserve.

And the Wall Street veteran may be wondering, why he ever signed up for this duty? Yeah, Tuesday's consumer inflation data for April shows he's inheriting one of the most difficult monetary tasks since Paul Volcker took over from, uh, G William Miller in 1979.

“By the way, I'm old enough. I remember that. Yeah. I remember how high interest rates”

had to go to obtain that inflation. Do you remember when Volcker had curves? Only economists are going to get that joke. That's so sad. Yes. So, um, when you look at it, and they, they talk about, you know, uh, I almost said Volcker. They, they talk about, you know, Paul and, and the, the, the fact of, remember he was a one that said inflation is transitory. And then it made it later on, you know, that interest rates, you know, with all the, the,

the borrowing, the government was doing and all the, the money that they were throwing in and, and, uh, you know, stimulus and, you know, everything that happened during his, uh, term that did the opposite.

“And they're like, you know, even admits he did stuff that was just not good. But if you're looking”

to tame inflation right now, the, you know, the, because if you look at it and, and because they, they go through this here and they said, uh, uh, let me just read a few things here about, uh, consumer prices, row six, a 0.6% in April or 3.8% over the last 12 months that's down from 0.9% in March. And some 40% of the increase was related to the Iran war's energy shock. But that's a little consolation since so-called, uh, uh, core prices, uh, that's taking out food energy, rose 0.4% in April,

and acceleration from 0.2% in March, and 2.8% for 12 months. Service prices were notably hot with shelter up 0.6% and overall non-energy services up 0.5% or 3.3% over 12 months. The disinflation in good prices also seems to have stopped as a peril prices are up 4.2% in the last year and we'll pull a last week announced at race prices 10% in April as two examples. Those figures confirm the inflation pop and the recent personal consumption expenditure data.

They also suggest that the disinflation earlier this year may have been another, uh, false, uh, flag, false, uh, drones that have typified recent fed performance. The central bank keeps thinking it has inflation conquered and it begins a monetary easing cycle only to find out its optimism is premature. The last inflation report marks a disparity in end to Jerome Powell's eight-year tenure as Fed chair. The press focuses mainly on President Trump's relentless attacks on Mr. Powell

supported him from those unfair assaults, uh, but Fed chiefs are measured overall by their stewardship

“of the economy, especially price stability. On those grounds, Mr. Powell, Paul's tenure has been”

a notable failure, um, the nearby char-tracks consumer price inflation across eight years, of Paul's two terms and then they just go through it all. It goes the, uh, Mr. Powell's tragic error was the pandemic error price spike that he dismissed for too long as transitory. Yes, prices soared before the Fed recognized its mistake hitting an annual rate of 9.1% in June of 2022. The Fed still largely blames supply chain disruptions for the inflation spike rather than its

policy choices to accommodate blow off federal spending and keep interest rates long or low for too long. And that's the problem right there when you look at the Fed. The fact that they still look at supply chains as the problem in that inflation. Yeah. The problem that the people in charge and Paul didn't recognize that it was the blow-out federal spending that caused it. Yeah. Right. And blaming something else that was not to blame. Yeah. No, that's for the long-term

inflation that we had. It might have, we know the supply chain had an effect, but also people pulled back from buying at that point, too. If you're, there's a lot of people were a lot of people were unemployed for a period of time there or we had cut back hours. Right. Yeah. And to sit there and ignore and go, no, it was a supply chain that caused it and not the blow-out spending and

keeping interest rates low at that point. Right. To ignore that high. This is why I've always said,

we believe that these people that are in power somehow have intelligence beyond what we can understand and they don't. No, they don't. And if you're building a case against Powell, that should be the focus on the whole transitory thing. If you think of the mindset and where we have been, you have to remind people because people live in the bubble out today. I don't know what

“kind of case you have to make against Powell. I think, again, on the merits, it's already made.”

And it clearly wasn't going to be the case that he was going to fire Powell as chairman because we didn't get to that point. So the point is, is that you can in bringing on wash and hopefully taking a new direction, I don't. I can't tell you what is going to happen. When it comes to a fed chair, because as you just mentioned, you know, so many people believe that, well, they're in that place where reason they must be qualified. Well, that everybody Trump has hired on as

state on. So I don't know if that will be the case for a fed chair or is doing an effective job. I don't know if that will be the case with this fed chair next fed chair or the following

“or whoever it is in that position. And it's it's been a, again, I think you get into the”

walkish type of territory, especially when it was never going to be the case that you were going

to fire Jerome Powell. And, and then you're counting on people in a very small group of people to put any thought into that that was going nowhere to begin. What the fed is doing, I mean, I'm going to criticize. I don't care if it's washed or Jerome Powell. It doesn't Janet Yellen. I don't care who it is. That's the helm. That's at the helm. I don't, I don't care who it is. It's going to be, again, it's a humans are involved in any human endeavor. There's going to be a lot of flaws,

especially with so many, you know, they've got a whole group that there's going to, you know, they're, that they're going to make the decision as a group. And we can get into the whole idea of them, the fed should be, uh, should be, uh, audited and, and there should be greater oversight and everything else. And we've had those discussions for years, but the people don't care, when we're, you know, getting close to 39 trillion in debt, and nobody bats an eye.

Well, then, I don't know what to tell you. When you had, because you and I grew up, all the time, you could make, you know, because of the, the, the, the fed rate, you could make

Yeah. Remember? Yeah. My entire life. And all of a sudden, we got to what 15 years ago, yeah, and all of a sudden, the interest rate was, you know, what? Just into a couple of years ago, what you got, if you had something in the bank,

0.00001%, yeah, it was, yeah, that was, to me, that was always manufactured. Yeah, that was that,

and that was more, in, in my opinion, that was political to keep the interest on the debt low. I mean, there was so much manipulation of the, that you and I back in in 2012,

“remember the whole thing, China's manipulating their currency, like, what the hell you think we're doing?”

Yeah, we do it all the time. You know, it's like, what are you talking about? Yeah, but we need to stop China for a minute. We're doing the same thing. Yeah. And, and so the, the thing that got me about, about, about Paul, there are a number of things, but the, the transitory statement,

obviously, and we said it at that time with inflation was a political statement. Yeah, it was not

an economic statement. Right. It was, it was not based. It was not based in economic, in, in, in solid economic projections, right. It wasn't. No, no, it was a political statement to protect what the people in power. I don't know. I can't read the mind. But we knew it was wrong at the time. Remember the laughter we had. It's transitory, it's transitory. And it's, that's where my friend Richard, Richard Ross, oh, the great financial analyst. And, and, and investor down in Houston,

“came up with permatory. Yeah, which is brilliant. I think, I think my friend Richard should”

become Fed share. No, I'd love that. But at least I could trust his methodology is thinking, right?

Well, I mean, that's, that's the point that the transitory never made any economic sense.

It just, it just didn't. And, and the amount of money that was being pumped, and by the way, other economists knew it. Obama economists knew it. Oh, yeah. They warned you can't be, you just can't be, you can't be printing money, or you can't be printing money. You can't be borrowing this kind of money, and just throwing it into the hands of the people. Lawrence summers. Yeah, there's summer said it. Can't do it. Yeah. The warnings were all there. Yep. Everybody knew it. Anybody old enough

that had seen it before. Recognized it again. And so really, with Morris right now, I mean, you know, what do you do? I mean, with, with because how long is this? How long is the war going to last? Right. Because if I'm, I don't know where to go with interest rates. Right now, if you ask me, all right, uh, I don't know when the next meeting is when they're going to raise us a June, I don't even know. Uh, yeah, but it's pretty much everybody believes any kind of rate decreases

“off the table, you know, with, with the, with current situation. Yeah. So, and so, and, and that's why you do it,”

you know, that's why you do it every month, every few months, whatever, when they meet to do that, because I look at it, I go, I don't know what I would do right now. I just, I don't know. Yeah, mid June. Right. There's too many variables right now. You know, the, the, the, the miss yesterday, the, the median forecast for year over year, inflation was 3.7 and we hit 3.8. Core inflation year over year. The median forecast was 2.7 and we had 2.8. And so, you know,

which isn't a massive miss on either one of those, everything else, in fact, I think was pretty much on target. Um, but month over month, but again, if we're still looking at 3.5% let's say we're looking at 3.3 and a half percent inflation. If, if warship at the home, are you going to make a move to lower interest rates? And it does the red, the rest of the, the fed agree with you. You know, so that's, that's the, the question. And my, my thing is as this continues to go on

if gas prices remain high. By the way, my, my gas prices at my gas station went to 3.99. Yeah, I think we were up to think the most we reach was 4.39. Yeah. So we're, so we're my neighborhood somewhere around there. So we're down, we're down a little bit. I haven't bought a gas in a few days,

a shut up just where he hasn't filled up with gas. I mean, where do that? I drive a heavy truck.

“It's pretty heavy for a Chevy. Oh, that's 100. You are, but you are, you are driving because”

you're going to which it all falls. Yeah. I'm going to, I agree to my, yeah, the shut up was because

he only drives a couple of miles to work. Yeah, my commute is only right where I have 28 miles.

2.2 miles. Yeah. I know that was my coast home. Quite reactionary. I don't even know if I'll start my truck next time to say to shut up. But yeah, I look at it and I say, okay, where do I go?

Because how much of the inflation? Remember, tariffs have been lowered. They're collecting a lot less

in tariffs now. Right. So that's off the table. And how much of, you know, you look at right now

“because of the, the energy prices, that's what's causing the vast majority of the inflation out there.”

Yeah. Yeah. We are right on radio. We'll be right back with more red eye radio with every currently and Gary McNamara. We are right on radio. He is our currently, I'm Gary McNamara. Yeah. So the fed championship is not a job I would want. No, no, I don't want that hot seed at all. No, for me, that would be transitory. Yes. This is Ridae radio on Westwood One. Hello, America, Mark Levin here. Many people seem to be
