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

This is Red Eye Radio. All across America. We are Red Eye Radio. He is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome and good morning. Thanks so much for being here.

Thank you. One thing over the weekend that I saw a number of articles just said, "Where's the excitement for soccer in the World Cup?" It just doesn't seem to be any excitement. And I'll verify that by looking at the front page of FoxNews.com

where they have three stories on the WNBA and nothing about the World Cup. I'm sorry, three stories on the WNBA. Three stories on the WNBA. Wow. Are there three stories about the WNBA?

Are there three things? Well, one was one was that a player on one team that was hyped in the promo and didn't score for 17 minutes by Caitlin Clark. He had 21. That was one.

Okay. Caitlin Clark would be the story, I guess. Right. It's not the WNBA. Caitlin Clark.

It's Caitlin Clark's story, so. And the other one was, the other one I'm Caitlin Clark was, oh, the other one was Angel Reese.

Who's always viewed as a competitor against Caitlin Clark.

She's been, she was benched in a game. That was a separate story. It wasn't the same story. Wow. And then the other one was how the statistician, I'm not kidding, I'm not making this

up. This is a story in Fox News. Right. The statistician on Friday night made a mistake and they found out and they credited, you know, Caitlin Clark, you know, for, I guess, more points or whatever.

Okay. And those, those are the story. So, but nothing on soccer, but three WNBA stories. Okay. All right.

And of course, the, the normal was, there was some kind of media of awards movie show or something. I was it, it was at the ACM's, the ACM's, what you showed me during the, yeah, the ACM's, and a couple of, a couple of, a couple of stories on cleavage, you know, but that's, you

know, that's, and there's always, and something to talk about when it comes to cleavage.

Yeah. Same with the New York Posts, you know, they had a story showing cleavage. So, I mean, right. Right. We're, we're getting into the really serious news.

I will tell you this. So, it was a weekend. And you and I were talking about it. I said, this is a weekend. We're not, not a lot happy.

“Well, I, you know, phones don't work this way, but I think they do, when I look at my phone,”

and I don't, I'm not getting as many notifications, you know, just a little bit of a slower week. Weekend. And I, I start tapping the screen on my phone as if, as if that's the reason they're not coming through.

I actually went to a couple of apps, you know, Wall Street Journal, whatever, Fox News, to look at like our, our, some of the stories, just not being pushed to my phone for some reason. Hey, you guys, uh, not sending me everything, it was a slow weekend, relatively speaking. I mean, all the stuff about China, uh, you know, the old saying, who cares about the

price of tea in China, actually, it's about the price of tea in the US. That's the, uh, actually, great concern that people have. But I think that, what did I see on Friday, uh, the five takeaways, I think somebody had six this time, the six takeaways from Trump's visit to China, I'm like, yeah, okay. This is what could happen.

All right, you're putting a lot of trust into number one, one meeting, one get together, and number two, China.

“So, uh, really, I think a couple of things come out of that, Taiwan, you know, hey, don't”

you're there, and uh, that was the gauntlet that G put on the table if you want to call

from New York. Hey, look, look at me.

“If we do something about Taiwan and you try another thing, you do one thing.”

There's going to be a problem.

But it's the other thing, the other takeaway would be what to do about Iran, and basically,

the, the just of it is, they came to the agreement, the one commonality or the one common piece of common ground they found was that Iran cannot have nukes and G apparently in the meeting agreed, and I thought to myself, yeah, well, he's trying to get train modes of them, you know, or whatever they need or two to Iran. I saw a great story that that talked about the fact, and, and I sort of agree with this,

that, uh, promoting what everything was about, they talked past each other and didn't confront each other on anything that should have been confronted.

Yeah, no, there was no that they just, basically Trump saying one thing, Xi saying another

thing, not that they didn't agree on umbrella stuff, which has no specific, but is umbrella greater than framework, is it, is it, is it a well, and then framework comes next to us? Yes, I was going to say framework is underneath it umbrella, yeah, but, but I'll tell you

“the, what, what I got over this weekend, and again, I think that, you know, a lot of the,”

the social media, and not the Sunday morning news shows, but what the, what social media and X puts as the highlights of it, yeah, and, and, and what, and what I saw for example, is the big topics over the weekend for Republicans were what they wanted to promote. Was Bill Cassidy losing, there's going to be a runoff between two other candidates in, in Louisiana, right, about the, the Russian hoax, and it was the other one, there was another

one, oh, it just popped out of my mind here, for a second, but it was something regarding Tucker Carlson or, no, no, well, no, I mean, that was the, that was, that was the thing where, we're, and we'll play the audio coming up, that was where, where Bill Mar was talking about the fact that one thing, the right left can agree on, and started talking about the anti-Semitism of the Democrats, most of it was on the anti-Semitism, the Democrats, and he said, but what both

the left and the right can agree with, you know, is, is the anti-Semitism of Tucker Carlson, you know, and, and, and bringing on for Wentes or whatever, and I'm like, they're not part of the mainstream, I don't know, I don't know, any mainstream person, I don't know, any mainstream Republican right now that endorses any of the anti-Semitism statements that have come from Tucker Carlson or Nick for Wentes or anything else, right? I don't know, and they're not in the mainstream,

no, you know, the anti-Semitism is, is, is mainstream, but, and, and on the left, they're embracing the anti-Semitism, I mean, it's, it's everywhere, and he was, he was making that, he was making that case too, which, I went, okay, he's just desperate to have the moral equivalency between

the both parties. Well, and he's trying to write that fence like he always does, so he can claim

to be an independent, which he's not. Yeah, but, but the, the, the, to get back where I, to where I was, but it was, it was January 6, Bill Cazady, oh, yeah, and, and, and, and COVID, yeah, and, and COVID with Fauci, right, and I'm thinking to myself, there's not one independent, the cares about that, well, you're not one independent, the cares about, I'm not saying that those stories are important and, and, and that we shouldn't do whatever we can to still find the truth out on it,

“whether you can indict anybody, or, or not, because I think there needs to be a record of the”

truth, but that's all I heard, and I'm like, they're not the driver. They're not the, they're not the motivator when it comes to what's going to happen in November, right? They're not, they're not, they're not the driver, right? They absolutely need to be hashed out. No doubt, but they're not the issues that are going to move people in November. The whole Bill Cazady thing. Look, a political party wants unity. Yep. This is a guy that after the, the sham congressional hearings,

as we remember, with Liz Cheney involved in it, where there was a complete lack of a defense and/or the ability to cross examine whatsoever, didn't just vote to impeach, because he can't do that. He voted to remove Trump from office. Well, you're gone. Yeah, you're gone. But whatever happens, whoever gets, you know, whoever wins the runoff, there's still going to be a split,

new candidate for a Republican is promoting that is focused on what the country is concerned about

right now. Right. Sorry, I don't, because it's prices. Yep. And it's almost as if we just don't talk about it anymore. Let's just, it's, it's almost as if the attempt is to shore up the base. Let's shore up the base. We're going to get, we're, we're, we're going to get COVID. We're going to get, we're going to find out the truth about the 2020 election. We're going to find out just what happened with, you know, the, the whole J6 and the Russian hopes. Not that those shouldn't

be investigations that happen, but those were all the lead stories of Republicans over the weekend,

and currently what is happening right now has almost disappeared, including.

Saw somebody right the other day, they just, and it's a supporter of Trump saying, and it's almost as if Iran's on automatic pilot. We're not really doing anything. Right. And, and it's, it's like, and that just keeps sitting there and something has to be done. So, you know, I, I, I look at that. Again, I, again, I'm not saying that those things shouldn't be

“looked into, but the fact is you've got a midterm coming up here. And the only thing that people care”

about right now that will get you the win is prices. And when it comes to fuel, it's about Iran. Yeah, it's time directly to Iran. And in, looking at non-election year,

in an election year, the mission counts first. And at any point, the mission is number one.

But the fallout from the mission right now is the effect on gas prices. And people don't care when they're, you know, pumping it for, that think I saw for 19, actually north of here, I saw 369. 369, I thought it was a typo. And then I started looking around. It was a highway 75, about an hour north of the, you know what I heard more about. And the, the biggest thing I heard really, it just, it was, it was really, it was a Thursday in Friday. Yeah. What I heard them, and these are from

friends of mine, totally Trump supporters from the very, very beginning, went, what the hell was he talking about with Sean Hannity? We played the audio cut. What the hell is he talking about the Chinese? What the hell is going on with him? I heard more of that. And maybe that tainted my perspective

“of this weekend. And again, it's just this weekend. That's what we're doing the last couple of days.”

Yeah. But when he started talking about the fact that we need the, there was a 500,000 student of visas, you know, a Chinese communist student visas over here. Right. And we need that to keep the colleges going. And they need to keep buying the farm land because otherwise this worms are hurting. Because farmers are hurting. He was made itself like US agriculture would stop if the, the Chinese weren't buying farms. And that's not true. Right. And it was just like the most bizarre thing where

where, and you know, it was a bizarre thing because after that, nobody talked about it at all. Nobody. Right. I was amazed that Democrats didn't pound on that. Right. Yeah. But then again, but Democrats probably didn't because they're like, we've got an association with Chinese spies unlike the Republicans. Let's just keep this quiet. Right. But it was, it was just, you know, it's, you know, that that may be just set me off going as a,

“as a political analyst. What should you be doing right now? The last thing that Trump should be doing?”

You know, the whole thing as well. He's trying to shore up his base. Not there he wasn't. I, I don't know who he was appealing to. It's like, what the hell is he talking about? No. It was, I think that was the question I asked that night when we came in. It was on, on about that story. Who, who's, who's benefiting from what, who would you try and do a appeal to? Jade doesn't get to vote as far as I know. Some of his spies in the US might.

Wow. I mean, it's just, I don't know. It's beyond, because it's beyond blunder. It's not like he missed pronounced a name. He was promoting things and, you know, giving it some, you know,

try and do a appeal to? 500,000 student visas. Yes, let them buy the farmland. No. And no. Yeah,

“it was just, it's bizarre. So, and when I saw the, you know, the Bill Cassie thing and just the focus”

of so many of the Sunday morning news shows and the Republican influencers on social media, he's gone. He's got, as if there's some great victory instead of, okay, you're rearranging a little bit of the chairs in the tight political Titanic. Are you not? Yeah. Yeah, you're, as if that's the

biggest story out there. I always figured he'd be gone. Yeah. You know, it was a few years ago,

but he had a six-year term. I figured it would be gone because you can't do that in a political party. No, but yeah, to talk about, you know, that this is the most important thing out there. It's a story for the day. But the focus of Mega has won. Mega has won. Well, we've got a ton of Mega candidates out there that didn't do too well. Right. Yeah. Look, it's one good indicator, the only indicator that really matters is November. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, it's an indicator that

Republicans are saying, sorry, that was bogus. And, and you just, forget about jumping on the

Democrats, you didn't care about due process for the president at all. Yeah, as a conservative

“you know, that's what, that was the thing. Yeah. The there and you were attempt, you were playing”

along, you know, you were playing along with the Democrats, but forget about that. You made the decision to endorse a an investigation that was completely and totally bogus. Yeah. Say how to lose training for it. Yeah. You, you, you fell for your gone from the Republican party up. What difference that will make in November? I don't think it's going to be great either way. No, I think any effect is already priced in it. I believe we are right. I radio brought to you

by hot shot secret. Hi. I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller. In order to manage speed, you need to understand the four factors involved in stopping a vehicle. Perception distance is the distance of vehicle travels from the time you see a hazard until you're brain recognizes it.

“The perception time for an alert driver is approximately three-fourths of a second. Reaction”

distance is the distance of vehicle travels from the time your brain tells your foot to move from the accelerator until your foot hits the brake pedal. The average driver has a reaction time

of three-fourths of a second. Break leg distance also needs to be taken into account. When operating

a vehicle with air brakes it takes about half a second for the mechanical operation to take place. Finally, breaking distance is the distance it takes a vehicle to stop once the brakes are applied. Breaking distance is affected by the weight, length, and speed of the vehicle, as well as road condition. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com.

We are in our radio, and he is there, currently, and I'm Gary McNamara, and why Republicans were right, though, to fire Bill Cassidy in essence. We'll have that coming up following the bottom of the hour, and it's an audio cut that he had, where he was asked specifically the question. Yeah. Would you do the same knowing what you did know today? Would you have done the same thing? And he wouldn't answer the question. He's like, "I look towards the future." You've just

been, you've just spent the last little bit talking about what you accomplished over the last five years, so I can't you answer this one. Oh, it's just greatness. We'll get to that. Plus, I know there's a, it was the other audio that we have coming up, because it was just, we didn't talk about this. Last week, we're the Senate voted that if there's a shutdown, the rules now will say they don't campaign. Yes, right. Exactly. And it was unanimous, and Rick Scott

spoke on it about a Senator who complained that we can't go without a paycheck, because I got a mortgage. What about TSA? Yeah, I'll let to TSA. But it was unanimous. Nobody voted against it. No. Right? Not one person who voted voted against it. They all voted not to be paid. Is that, that was a bit surprised. Does that mean shutdowns are gone forever? Probably. Hey, I'm Chris Fanfleet. Go behind the scenes and beyond the headlines with the biggest

Or would page be there? Hey, 1 hundred percent. So when you're setting up Logan Paul to frog splash you through the announce table, it's going through your mind. This should make every headline in the world, but it makes sense. Right? In Jelly Roll, we knew we had that kind of a moment. Mindset, motivation, and what it takes to succeed. Insight with Chris Fanfleet. Follow and listen on your favor platform. You're listening to Red Eye Radio from the Ridley-Factor Studios.

And we are Red Eye Radio and he is our Croydon. I'm Gary Mack. Tomorrow, we got some great audio coming up. I mean, really great audio and the Bill Cassidy thing and more. Oh, I'll coming up. All right. In a minute. You know, when it comes to taking supplements, you want to choose

wisely. You want first of all the supplements to work and you want to know you can trust them.

That is the case with relief factor. It's been around for a while. In fact, many hosts have been taking an authentically endorsing relief factor for over a decade because it works plain and simple. You know, I do have one concern with relief factor. It's only one concern. Now, my buddies who are moving on the weekend, hey, can you help me move? I can't say, well, no, because of my lower back pain. I can't. I can't be lifting anything. Sorry,

because they all know that I'm taking relief factor after relief factor. Lower back pain was not a problem. I was working the other day. Out in my life, Scardon, getting some drip irrigation installed and I thought, man, thanks for to relief factor. I no longer have to worry about the pain

“after a project like this. And quite honestly, I don't mind helping a friend move if I need to.”

So here's how you get started with relief factor. We're talking about drug-free relief,

just call 800-4 relief, 800-4 relief, or go to relieffactor.com, reliefactor.com, use red eye and the drop-down for your three week quick start at 1995. All right, so here we go. This is on the build capacity and losing in the primary or run-off between the two other candidates coming up here. But here is this is before the election. Yeah, this is before the election I believe on Fox News, on the big weekend show.

Yeah, all right, ready for this. All right, okay, here we go. Are you and I got the serve in the in the Congress for a little while? But my question for you is still about Donald Trump. I mean, knowing what you know now about the first that was put forward to the American people and the Congress, knowing what you know now, would you still vote to actually convict Donald Trump

of the charges that he was put up for it?

Reporters always loved to ask that question. I'm a doctor. You give me all the information I can.

“I make a decision I move on. I don't keep on going back. Oh, what happened five years ago?”

I'm thinking about what's going to happen five years now. With all the rest of you just. Hang on, just let me finish. Let me finish. You just touted everything you've done for the last five years. Why did you answer that question? Did you or did you not? I don't think I can finish now, which is if I went to answer that question.

Would you or would you not actually vote to convict knowing what you know now? It's a simple question. Yeah, Jason, you may go back and flagulate yourself over decisions in the past. I do not. I move on. By the way, what I'm talking about is not just the present, it is the future. By the way, the future also includes that if somebody wants somebody working for the state of Louisiana,

for the future not fixated on the past, then polls close at eight o'clock tonight, get out there and vote. Well, one thing he did say that's accurate. He's moving on. He will be moving on, but I mean, there's

“and you think about, I mean, that's what he was saying during the campaign.”

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not going to talk about it. Right. You can't do that. No, no, you went out of your way. I don't even know how you did it as a conservative. I'm a doctor. I don't care. What does that have to do with anything? Let me ask you. Are you a doctor of the Constitution? Are you a doctor of due process?

Apparently not. But you can't write the fence on that. Well, it's not. Well, you cannot. He's trying to avoid it altogether. He's running from it. And I think Jason framed it right, knowing what you know today because as we all know, as we all know, and we knew it immediately. Right. I mean, it didn't take long. I mean,

the Democrats doing it, that cross examination, due process of that, any form was not allowed. No, at all. No, in that in that process. And as we said before, you know, about the whole is Cheney thing. Dick Cheney, when he was in Congress, if that was pulled by Democrats would have thrown a fit. Yeah. Yeah. I know later on in life, he changed his mind on that and supported his daughter. Right. That was not a guarantee,

Dick Cheney, when he was in Congress, would have never agreed with that system that was set up

with no ability to cross examine witness or bring in your own evidence. Right. And, you know, that was, you know, that was the, forget about whether you believe he did it or not,

“because I don't believe, I believe the charges were bogus to begin with. Right. Right.”

But forget about even that. Let's talk about the good process. Let's talk about the process itself. The whole process of getting the accurate information as to what happened, the Democrats would not allow in. No. And if you went along with it, it means you, you went, you, you basically approved of a process that you can arguably call a frame up. Well, you're, you're no better than any of the liberals who are lying through their

teeth on a daily basis. When you throw out the process all together, you have built a rigged system process, they called it. It wasn't a real process. It wasn't legit to take down a president.

“I cannot imagine. It's, to me, it's a bill crystal moment.”

You were never a conservative. Ah, you were never a conservative. Thank you for reminding me,

yeah. Thank you. We'll get to this later on. That just something I'm still crystal coming up here, but he wrote on X over the weekend. Yeah. But thank you. And we haven't even discussed it. Thank you. Right. No, we didn't go ahead. And it's, you know, it's just one of those moments where you're just throwing out all your conservative. And then, and you, yeah, the, I'm a doctor. We're talking to do process. We're talking about the constitution. By the way, I wouldn't be bragging about

how much of a degree or medical training you have because I don't know how you did that and passed because you apparently have zero credit. Well, you can still. But you know, you know,

the first thing when somebody brings in their title is an argument. Yeah. To me, that's the ultimate

in a lead as it is. It is. It, because it's the attempt to shut down the person on the other side. That's, you're trying to shut up. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't, you're a doctor. You're, well, you're beyond reproach. Right. You're a doctor. Wow. Yeah, doctor, doctor. Well, oh my god, I'm singing the Thompson Twins. You shoot me now. Well, we need to call a proctologist because we know where his head is. All right, you're ready for this. Okay. Sorry. I tried to write one on the fly.

That is, that is, no, I apologize for that. Well, he's just, I'm, I'm very sorry. It was, but this is just the arrogance. By the way, that's the same arrogance that sends you packing, just like Liz Cheney. Good luck. See you. Have you ever argued with anybody saying, but I'm the talk show host. As long as you don't ask my wife that, I know that has no credibility to begin with. Yeah, I know. They're just saying, Gary, what do you think about this? You know,

“who I am? You know who I am before I answer this. Do you know who I am? Do you know? Why?”

Do you understand who I am? Yeah, and that is song to it. Yeah, exactly. But here we go. Here's, here's John Kennedy, Senator Kennedy answering that question. You ready? Yeah. All right. Here we go. Okay. We got the senator from Louisiana. Here we go. All right. So what happened in Louisiana last night? Well, Peter, here's the way I see it. Unless you're your God's perfect idiot, the result was predictable.

Cassidy was in trouble. I think President's endorsement of Congresswoman, that low was

revising on the cake. Bill knew that, but he decided to run anyway. I respect that. I thank him for his service. He was very gracious in his concession speech. We now got to run off between two fine people. For what is worth? I don't plan to get involved. Wise man, once said nothing, why? Because he's a wise man. But I don't plan on weighing in. And, you know, if one of them starts talking about my mama, I might, but otherwise, I'm just going to vote like everybody else.

“Now see, okay, that's how you get around really not answering a question, but entertaining”

everybody where they go, okay, and then you move on to the Senator Kennedy went on tour, I'd

buy tickets, front row seats, and number two, number two, is that Luther Vandross music playing in the background? Oh, what's that? I didn't even, I, yeah, I don't know what the music was. It sounded like somebody's maybe ringtone or something going off. No, he was at someone that he was at the owner of a white house or whatever. All right, I couldn't tell. There's a big lawn behind him. Okay, okay, all right, I couldn't see it from this side. All right, man, he's a Luther Vandross fan.

But no, when Senator Kennedy talks, we take every chance, light liberals. We take every chance we can to play his audio because he's right, and he's very entertaining and making his point. Well, he said the obvious, that, you know, which, which we said the obvious, well, of course he was going to lose, right, you can't do what Cassidy did and expect to win in the Republican party, and it's not based, it is not based on absolute loyalty to Donald Trump. It was based on the fact

of the process that Democrats put forward, that completely was one-sided, yes, with the lack of due process of allowing other witnesses and cross-examination of those witnesses and cross-examination of the evidence was not allowed. Right. You can't do that and be a Republican conservative.

“You cannot do that. And Cassidy knew it. That's why, you know, before the polls ended on Saturday,”

he would answer the question. Right. But it's just as bad. It's just as bad, not answering the question as he did. What you're making it worse. And then, you know, you want to boast about being a doctor or, well, great. If I think I have an infection, I'll call you. Now answer the question. Seriously, does this look infected? I'm a doctor, so I look to the future. Well, I don't know. My blood work was two weeks ago. Yeah, I want to know what you thought

about it. Really? Because you were just lecturing me on all the stuff I've done in the past to gain 20 pounds. It's, I think we were focusing on the past a few minutes ago.

“Gary, you should have been smoking cigarettes for the last 50 years. Right. By the way, I don't smoke”

cigarettes. Right. You should have been smoking cigarettes for the last 50 years. Doctor, why are you going into the past? Well, let's look to the positive of the future. Like, I told my doctor,

sober for 18 years. He's like, that's awesome. I said the first 18. So I still have to go with it. Yeah.

But it's, no, it's, it's, it's boasting to try and shut down the, the, the interviewer. That's your, you're trying or anyone debating you. Well, I'm a doctor. Well, I don't see your status go. Sorry. I couldn't see your lab coat. You know, it's just so, well, that, but that's the, the dumbest argument when you use your title, yeah, either for you or the lack of a title is used against you. You know, you're not in it. Yeah. You know, we've gotten this word. You guys aren't economists. What's an economist?

Right. Right. Well, you didn't go to school, what school of economics should I have gone to? Well, an Ivy League socialist economics. I was, I was at at coffee with a cop one time and I was asking people, hey, can I see your ID and one of the guys with badges said, hey, you're not a cop. That's, that's, that's kind of offensive. That's kind of offensive. That didn't, I just wanted to see some of my days. We are Red Eye Radio. We'll be right back

We are Red Eye Radio. He's our currently and I'm Gary McNamara.

Welcome in good morning. Thanks so much for being here this morning. So,

“oh, man, I'm telling you. Yeah. What do we, what do we get it, it was?”

So much going on. We'll get to Iran here in just a little bit. A couple of things of Bill Marsegg yesterday that I thought was interesting. But the one thing that I thought was just greatness was because it was just so bad was Bill Crystal's comment. If you heard about that the other day on X, which was just absolutely, absolutely mind boggling. He said,

I'm pro-freedom, pro-lon order, pro-limited government and pro-the decoration and the

Constitution. And so today, I'm a Democrat. Wow. Now for the hour news is brought to you by HowProduct is at HowProducts.com. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One. Now, it's Red Eye Radio.

All across America, we're Red Eye Radio. He is our currently non-Gerry McNamara. Did you see the, as I saw out there that somebody did the statistics? 61 commencement speakers here with graduation coming up are a liberal. Did you see any of Eric Hurley's commencement speech at the University of North Carolina with his guitar explaining how every guitar string is relates to life? Yeah. It was fantastic. Yeah, I saw the story on it. I didn't

see the entire speech. Oh, but yeah, it's too long to play, but I'll see if I can get some short clips of it that it was, it was really interesting. Talked a lot about really no politics. Talked about you as an individual being a moral individual and talked about and talked about character. Right. And talked about family and parents. I mean, it was really, really, really, really, really, really good. Yeah. It was, you know, I, I, I love that. And usually the words Eric and

church don't go together. But in, in this instance, yeah, no, it's, it was really great. It's as a very thoughtful speech, by the way, unlike the commencement address that Obama gave.

Now, was he former president when he gave it the one where he basically told them,

“"I don't know, he may have been in office." I think he was out of office. Remember?”

Remember? Yes. Now, don't go out there and get about your computers and start looking things up. Actually, um, stay up the computers. Stay in, stay in idiot for God's sake. Don't Google. And I was, and we know why. Don't be looking up any facts or not. Well, that was out. I just, when, when you look back at it, just the umbrella of the, you know, the umbrella narrative of Obama, you know, that he was so incredibly smart. Yeah.

And he was it. He was one of the, there's really one of the dumbest presidents with the things that he had, that said in the goals that he, that he, that he had. Remember,

“though, remember the loss with the loss of jobs is, is what was responsible for the loss of”

jobs in the United States? Yeah, it was ATMs. It's like, what an idiot. I mean, seriously, it was just, on so many things, you had somebody who was completely and totally clueless as to how the, the world ran. And, you know, you, you saw the, the, uh, the idolatry towards him. Yeah, which was just, you know, it was just, you know, it was just come on and, you know, remember the, uh, the stuff was so dumb. Oh, my gosh, remember the pledge? Oh, my gosh.

Oh, the pledges of all the Hollywood stars of now that Obama's president, they're going to

now they're going to live life correctly. Give me a break. You had the will I am song,

but then you also had the kids chanting, Barack, who's saying Obama. Oh, yeah. Mm, mm, mm, I thought maybe. Wait a minute. The chant was great though. It's that they steal from the Spaghetti Os commercial back in the day. Oh, uh, or Campbell's soup or something. Um, yeah, it was, it was bizarre. It was weird. I, if you say, I voted for the guy, all right, that doesn't sound weird. You start singing a song. And, and the pledge thing too, I thought to my, we actually said it then.

So when he's no longer president, because at some point, you know, regardless of how long he

“serves, he will be former president. Are you going to undo your pledge? Because who's the next guy?”

What if we gone back? What if we could go back in time? To the people who all the celebrities who made a pledge to Obama then and say, hey, you guys next up is Donald Trump. So you guys keep making your pledges because in 2016, Donald Trump will be president. Let's see the kind of pledges you're making then. Yeah, weirdos. Just so. I mean, it's just I, you know, you look, you look back at this great country, but the idiocy of people at times. And it's just, and the only, the only good

thing is the idiocy is less here than in other countries. But other countries learn, you know, we talked about, I've seen more articles now on sweet, you know, sweet and how they're just,

“you know, sweet and completely changing as to where they were as a socialist country to the point”

where in some economic indicators, they're more free than Democrats wish to be in the United States. Well, and it's Margaret Thatcher at some point you run out of other people's money. And, but also the other side of that is the draw of capitalism and a growing economy. And as I've said, for a while, capitalism is the original crowd funder. It's the one, it capitalism of free society and free markets. This is the greatest opportunity. And the reason we know this

is because we're having a massive debate about the millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of people who want to come here and what to do about it. That's the, you know, we're, we're the big attraction for a reason and capitalism is at the basis of that because it gives people greater freedom, whether they're from here or not. When you say free markets, you're, you're talking about, as we said before, you're talking about capitalism,

free markets, you're talking about a economic system or everything is voluntary. Socialism and communism is not. It's government forcing you, right, whoever's in government at that time, forcing you to act with your capital in a certain way. And then eventually it doesn't become your capital anymore and you're property anymore. It disappears by the time you get

to, to, to full communism. And so the, you know, and so the reality is the central government,

whether it's in the United States or whether it's in Europe or whether it's in China, they can't run an economy. You know, and, you know, this is when, you know, the populist and the Republican Party. Well, they can't, they can't run it, but Trump's a business person. So he should run the economy. Go to hell. Well, nobody, nobody, no one person can run the economy, which is why we completely disagree with Trump, you know, getting stakes in different, you know, companies,

the government has no business in any of it at all. Well, none of it. The, the, the, the move to

deregulate. If you think about the massive movement to deregulate under the Trump, second term,

“that's the contradiction. That's, that's what we're looking for. Yeah. That's what we're looking”

for, right? You should not be a part of it. Right. Get out of the way. I'm going to deregulate, but I'm also going to tax you. Right. Yeah. You know, with, with, with, with, with the tariffs.

You don't see any Republicans, mainstream Republicans saying, we need to keep the tariffs going. Right. I don't meet any Trump supporters anymore that say that. No. No. I mean, it doesn't matter. You can't, but I was surprised at the number,

when the Supreme Court first came in with the initial tariffs and said, sorry, the president can't

“tax companies. Mm-hmm. Well, that's why they lied and said, you know, excuse me, he lied.”

Because the best thing did, best thing was telling the truth, but his treasured secretary was telling the truth, saying, no, the taxes here. And I've asked his question, look, we, we're, we're conservative. We're conservative libertarians. And we believe in the Constitution. And I was disappointed that so many people that claim their conservatives. I mean, major conservative personalities, not fringe. We're saying the Supreme Court was wrong on that and Trump had the right to tax American companies.

They just said, to hell with the separation of powers. Yeah. We don't give it to him about

the separation of powers. Right. And as we said before, we take this very seriously, who gets to tax us? Yeah. Well, because if you come in and once you start wrapping the government's hands

“around capitalism, the next move is when the Democrats get control and take it even further.”

Right. Because once you've kicked that door open, you can't close it again. And so we look at it and go, you know, the deregulation. Wonderful. I'm going to deregulate over here, but I'm going to tax you over here. I'm going to deregulate over here. You know, it's, it's like the, you know,

the entire thing with, you know, every conservative breathe the sigh of relief. Thank God we didn't,

you know, we didn't take over spirit airlines. Yeah. Thank God that didn't happen. Wow. Stop talking about that. Every company that fails. Okay. We're going to save it. Republicans used to be 100 percent against that just 18 years ago. Yeah. And all of a sudden, oh, if he's right, well, fine, even if he can run parts of it, you don't set up a government where the Democrats can then have equity in companies. Well, it was even if he could, and he can't, but even if he could, you don't

do it. There was legitimate concern about the Chinese owning TikTok and what they could do when it came to access to devices. Yeah. Well, that cat was already out of the bag that train left that

“station a long time ago if you want to get into their ability to get into devices. But it became a”

political concern. We have to shut down TikTok. And then it seemed like a week later, we have to save TikTok. What the hell? Because it's either a concern or it's not. Now, they say, well, it's no longer controlled by the Chinese. They don't. They've already got what they wanted out of it. It's, that's already again, that train left the station a long time ago. And, but that's, you know, it's the moment. One of the kids, it's like they wake up. What are the kids yelling about?

Well, we're going to get right on it. We'll stop it. We need steroids in baseball. More steroids in baseball. You know, it's, well, you were shaking your head like what it's, I'm, I'm trying to follow you here. Yeah. Well, no, it was one of those moments. The whole steroids in baseball thing was one of those, we talked about it then. It's one of those moments. Well, oh, no, we need to get into baseball. There you go. Oh, the federal, the federal government.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's like the federal government now in football. Yeah. Well, that's a question for Trump last week. Right. I don't think it's, hey, fine. Take away the anti-trust exemption. Right. And that means they can't share television money anymore. They have to act as separate entities. And then you end up like Major League Baseball where you've got, you know,

the Yankees and the Dodgers and all the large markets with all the money and the smaller teams. Right. Don't have the, the, the, the, the salary cap. Right. I understand why they did it. But we are not entitled, not that we are not entitled to watch football. And there seems to be that out there where, you know, and, and you see Republicans talking about it. Well, you know, it's just,

they expect that football is going to be on free TV. Now, this is Texas. So the state constitution

mandates Friday night football. But other than that football is an entertainment product. Yep. That's it. It's an entertainment product. Well, government has no business in my opinion, being involved in sports. Well, it's, yeah. It's okay. I don't understand where you're going. No, it's what ever, it's whatever we're, you know, shouting about on social media or wherever, you know, because the whole TikTok thing came from, I think, one episode of Joe Rogan.

That's, that's where the, the fire started on that. And legitimate concern, but it was already too late by then in terms of what the Chinese could do with devices and, well, that was everything.

“That was a legit thing that be involved in that. That's fine. Yeah. Well, that's what I said.”

Right. I said, that was a legitimate concern. But by that time, by the time the government's

going to get around to it, it was already done. Yeah. There's every device in your home's listening. Alexa, what's the weather today? You know, I mean, so whatever it's going to, you know, it's be careful not to say anything like porn on the air tomorrow. Look at Facebook to like here's a porn site. Yeah. Where did this come from? Oh, I said it on the radio and my phone was next to me. Well, I've got AI integrated into my dash. And so I can talk and, and I can ask

it to look up something and it will cite whatever it's looking up through AI Google or Google AI. And then it asks follow up question. Would you like me to look into this,

whatever in your area? And give you some joy? No, that's okay. You're sure?

But it's, it's the government getting on board anything and everything that people are shouting about except we're not shouting about 39 trillion in debt. You know, if we were shouting about that. Yeah. Like we were, whatever it is, TikTok or back in the days, steroids, and baseball. Well, the, or the, the NFL. I mean, I, I really don't, I, you know, it's as, as much as I love sports, the way I see people view it as almost, uh, and I won't say an entitlement because an entitlement

“program you were entitled to because you, a true entitlement program because you put that's why”

people said they shouldn't call so security entitlement program. No, it is an entitlement program. Right. You're entitled to get it because you put into it. Don't confuse it with the sense of entitlement where you believe you are entitled to something that you are not. Right. But this, the whole football thing, people. Yeah. It's like, I, I just, I don't, I don't get it. I don't get, and less, the, the, the sense of escapism is so great where people feel they're entitled to it.

Yeah. We want government to protect our free sports. So we don't have to pay attention to how the government is screwing us over here. Yeah. Right. That's why view it. Please protect us. Please protect our sports. Right. Shut up. Shut down. Tick talk. And the next day. Tick talk. I mean, it's, no, it's the whole thing was COVID.

“Holding with college sports. Now, the president's, I'll straighten this out, you know, because”

they're, you know, they're, you know, they're getting paid in sponsorships and everything else. It's destroying sports. Yeah. Well, I could have told you that was going to happen. Right. Exactly. We are right. I radio. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by House products tested, trusted guaranteed since 1920. Ready for the summer. Cookout season. As it's on official start, the Memorial Day weekend is coming up. Keep food safety

in mind. USDA food safety expert Meredith Carothers says start with the two-hour rule. The amount of time that perishable food can be safely out at room temperature or out at outside temperatures before bacteria may reach dangerous or non safe levels that cannot be rectified or killed by cooking later on or something like that. Yet a consideration, several backyard grill masters may not realize as they prepare to cook. When temperatures are above

90 degrees Fahrenheit, that time actually reduces to only one hour. So if your cookout is away from home and a park or camp ground for instance, a cooler with ice to keep perishable foods cold or a preheated grill to keep food hot will help keep away food board bacteria. More grilling food safety information is available through USDA's METEM poultry hotline. One, eight, eight, eight MP hotline. I'm Rod Bane reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture

in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senox fuels and looms.

We are Red Eye Radio, he is her cruddy and I'm here in McNamara. Welcome, and good morning.

But I know I lost that argument a long time ago, you know the whole sports things. People just sports has become our new soap operas when you think about it. Well, you know, I really has. We, yeah, we kind of have a bunch of a bunch of soap operas, right? And then the drama stuff rises to the surface. But I lost that argument a long time ago when it came to stadium financing. People don't care, they'll buy into any BS when it comes to stadium financing. It's our

“stadium. Yeah, um, you don't get in free, you know that, right?”

And he is our purling. I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome. Thanks for being here folks. We appreciate it. You know, it's taken, by the way, on that TikTok thing, when everybody, you know, was, and again, rightly so, justifiably concerned about China having access to people's devices through the app, TikTok, and when that blew up, and then the government woke up. Oh, yeah. Well, we, yeah, they're right. Oh, those should, well, wait a minute. Oh, my, shouldn't you already know that?

Yeah, shouldn't they have done that? You know, it's, it's the, on both sides of that equation,

“when they were screaming about it, again, justifiably so. But it was, it was far too late.”

Well, how were you not, there's no way Intel didn't know. And so, the policymakers had to have known, and nobody said anything until Joe Rogan or whoever said something about it, and all the kids were screaming about it. And then they were going to shut it down. Oh, no, we got to save TikTok. It's, well, the hero complex, you know what, be a hero and save the national debt, but that's not going to happen. Right. So we're not screaming about it. But it's also about

things that people are addicted to that aren't necessary. Yeah. You know, there was the addiction to TikTok. It's like when we're talking about sports, and I just couldn't believe last week that, you know, hear the president, with all the things going on, they have to ask the question, Mr. President, what about football here? What about the NFL? Yeah, so many streaming channels now. Yeah, this is, this is a, this is a problem. People have to pay if they want to watch every game.

It's like a thousand dollars. I don't care. Yeah, rock and care less. Right. It's a product. And yeah, but, but, but, but we, we, we, we pay to build their stadiums right. And if you live in a particular town, you get to watch every football game for free. Yep. Every, every, every in your town. Yeah, but we want to watch games from out of town. Sorry. They've been charging for that for a long time. When I was young, you know, this is something that people don't know. And when I say,

when I was young, but it's true, we never saw. I became, I grew up in Buffalo. And that's a football

town. And I started paying attention when I was a kid. They, they won the AFL Championship in 64 and 65 with, with, with Jack Kemp. Jack Kemp, my football hero, my economic hero, convinced Reagan to lower taxes. Yeah. But that's a rare one too for me. Yeah. But back then, you never saw home game ever. Right. Didn't matter whether the game was sold out or not. Right. In the 70s, you never saw home game. Right. You know, if the, well, I don't know about the Super Bowl because

my team was never in the Super Bowl, the 70s or 80s. And by the time of the 90s, yeah, it was, you know, those were shown, but they aren't home games. But the home games, you know, and then it wasn't really until the 80s and the 90s, where they had the whole sellout thing. Well, if it

“sells out 72 hours before, remember that? Yeah, it sells out 70. Then, then you can watch the home game.”

And so remember you had companies that would buy the rest of the ticket. Right. And then it extended,

people that come to the stadium. It's about TV. Right. And all of a sudden boom, you know, you get to see in your town, if you live in San Francisco, you get to watch the 49ers for free. If you live

“in Dallas, you have to pay to watch free TV to watch the Cowboys lose. Right. And by the way,”

Dak Prescott, as a quarterback, has not influenced any economic decisions of any president. He's a good guy. Unlike Jack Kemp is. Exactly. Exactly. But it's, it's, it's sports. But I lost the argument a long time ago. I was a talk to a host of Buffalo. Yeah. You know, I, this started for me a long long, when they built the baseball stadium there. Right. And they kept saying, well, they were just to find the taxpayer funds for a baseball stadium because it could be expanded to get a major league

baseball team. And I said over and over again, Buffalo's not big enough to have a major league baseball

team. You're never going to have major league baseball here. It's not big enough. And the population

is not growing. Right. Oh, they were furious at me. Yeah. I mean, though, the, the, just everybody was living at me when they wanted to do, uh, right before I left in 97, they were redoing the old stadium. You know, spending hundreds of millions to redo it. So no, they shouldn't do it. And my point is, my point is not that, that the, the, the local governments should not build general use serenas. I'm against what's going on right now with these multi billion dollar arenas that they're

promising this economic activity boost, which is a line of horse manure. And they keep promoting it over and over again. And I know as a talk show host, I got, I probably got more hate mail on that than anything ever. Yeah. Even you try to explain it. They don't want to hear the explanation. I said, look, instead of giving tax breaks to companies that actually produce a product and create

wealth, you wish billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars to go into basically what is

entertainment dollars. Yeah. This is excess income that people have that is not producing or expanding the wealth. There's a difference. You know, you've got, you've got Democrats in New York, for example, probably some Republicans do, but Democrats know no tax breaks at all for the businesses. Yeah. Let's just give billions, hundreds of millions of dollars of cash to a sports team. Why not? And then people sit there and they go, well, if you're going to give them tax dollars,

then we should be able to watch every game. Well, was that in the contract that the government signed with the teams? No. No. But then you're not going to get that. And I just, it's the addiction to sports. This, let me tell you this. This is a true story.

“There's a person that I know from social media. Okay. You ever met them?”

Person that I know. Okay. A female in a profession that doesn't pay a lot. I'm guessing that this woman spends between 30 and 50,000 dollars a year. I'm going to sporting events. Wow. Wow. It's in Buffalo. Yeah. Yeah. And is in a profession where she probably makes 75 or 80,000 a year. Wow. Wow. To the point where when not kidding you, Sean McDermott, the bills coach got fired last year. She drove to the stadium and on social media, put together a

video where she was crying and screaming like an enraged maniac. Wow. And then when they're built, you know, they're got the new stadium now. Yeah. They're tearing apart the old stadium now and building the new stadiums like 98% bill went $2.23 billion. Well, that thing escalated and caused

“original. I think it was like 1.3 or 1.4. And it's a skyrocketed in price over the last few years,”

complaining like crazy about getting tickets to the new got tickets. But she's always at some

sporting event and I'm like, I should do it. Wow. You know, it's just unbelievable, you know, just and the addiction there. So people that are that addicted to sports and I've noticed and maybe it's social media. But sports has become an addiction and it's our new soap opera. People are so incredibly passionately insane over it. I want my local, you know, the teams that I grew up, but I want them to win. And I'm sick and tired of not having a championship ever in my life except

inefficient use, a massive inefficient use of taxpayer dollars. Well, nobody wants to hear that.

They want their addiction. It's just a different form of addiction. Right. Because if you sit there and you say that there should be no tax breaks for any companies that actually produce and expand wealth in both durable goods and the service sector and your state should not be involved in any of that. And you demonize corporations and you're willing to give across this country billions to sports teams. There's something fundamentally wrong with our mindset. Yeah.

“Just a little. But those are the priorities. I mean, again, I think the national debt is”

prime example. Because I want what I want and the national debt is somebody else's problem.

Yeah. Like people don't. It's just like whatever. We don't just give us what we just give it what we want and then the latest over the weekend when the NFL schedule came out. Yeah. People are like, but they're taking so many games off Sundays. And they're going to be they're going to be overseas now. And it's not right. Yeah. You know, they may make some wrong business decisions. I don't know whether it's going to work out or not. You know, going overseas. If you don't like it,

don't watch it. But on the, this was beautiful because paying attention, again, to the schedule last week, just looking at some of the people reacting and the bills are playing both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can't tell you this wasn't the woman I was talking about. But another woman posted on there how horrible it was that Josh Allen, the quarterback of the Buffalo bills,

cannot spend his daughters, you know, first Thanksgiving and Christmas with the family that he

has to be playing football. And I'm saying to myself, they voluntarily chose a business that almost exclusively plays holidays. Well, listen, or more weekends, when everybody else is off, that's the point you play. Yes. You play when the most massive amounts of people can watch.

“That's what justifies your salary. Right. I mean, I've had a complaint for years that as someone”

who's followed the Cowboys all his life, every Thanksgiving, you know, in the later years, I've been subjected to Jerry Jones while I'm trying to spend time with my family. Now, the only problem that that we had with all of it, I did call my nephew and I'm kidding about it. I said, because we spend my, my nephew, we spend Thanksgiving and Christmas at my sister's house. And my sister just not like sports on the TV, Thanksgiving or Christmas. The bills play both.

And a Christmas day for 30 right when dinner served. And I told him I said, you need to start working your mom. Yeah. It's what he goes, oh, don't worry. I'm

“going, I know that's my job. We just both laugh. Right. But, but other, you know, seriously,”

I, and like, and I love sports, I mean, everything else, but I just think that the taxpayer dollars that go into it, the addiction that people have, how they have made it. Today's new soap opera and the incredibly, I don't know how else to put it. Assign theory that people have about every little stink and thing that happens in sports is beyond me. It's almost as if there's a loss of self or of, you know, having a life.

Well, well, it takes a point. Before he got into sports broadcasting, Steven A Smith used to speak very softly. And now when he pulls through the drive through it a fast food place, he says, number two, I've got to, we've got an audio cut coming up from him. Yeah, he's doing it again. Okay. But on, on politics, but he's still trying to ride that fine line. Yeah, it's, he's still trying to do that. But what's interesting on the points

and you and I are surprised. He's making good points. Yes. We say that about that times Bill Mars, but Van Jones, the other day, who, if you know the history of Van Jones, my gosh. And now, we're at the point where at times they make sense. It doesn't make them

but screaming and yelling that you're hearing all these panel discussions and I'm like,

“guys, it's a football game. Yeah, calm down. You know, they're screaming each other like it's”

the end of the world. Right. We are right. I radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and

Eric Hartley, it's right. I radio.

We're when I radio. These are probably, and I'm Gary McNamara. You see that the census finds a majority of fastest growing cities in the US or in Texas. Eight of the 15 fastest growing

cities reportedly in the Texas Fort Worth also made history, becoming the 10th largest city

in the United States. All right. Welcome to the top 10 downtown. You know, I was thinking, you know, just the, the growth here. Yeah. In, in the two subdivisions on my peninsula and just off at roughly about 4,000 to 5,000 homes. Yeah. Took them like 25 years to build all of them.

“Just south of me. It's not going to affect me. And, you know, that's why you saw that,”

287 is going to become an interstate. Right. Yeah. And they're talking about calling it, you know, US 47 after Trump are calling, right. Yeah. You came up with that one last week. Yeah. Man. He was pounded through our talk about kissing someone's butt. Yeah. You get his endorsement. Yeah. Election time. Yeah. But the subdivision behind me that they planned to build, which is going to take a number of decades, 15,000 homes. Wow. Residents. Yeah. Yeah.

This is riddy radio on Westwood one. Hello, America, Mark Levin here. Many people seem to be incubating a rage looking for somewhere to go. Are there times when you think the country is out of control? Do you see all these things and you wonder, what in the world is going on? What's at this way five years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago? Do we have the will or not? But we are Americans.

“And I believe we absolutely do have the will. I do this show for you. And when you're not interested”

in anymore, I will just go away. Got my prevent show. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
