This is Red Eye Radio. All across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is here, Carlion, I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome in good morning.

Thanks so much for being here.

Thank you. All right, this is Steven A Smith. And we've mentioned him earlier.

So I was like, oh, I think I got an audio of God here.

Steven A Smith with a caller who said, being a conservative Republican is a mental illness. All right. Yeah, OK, here we go. Listen, somebody's people, Steven. I don't owe them time, I don't get to do that.

Don't talk to me about mental illness on the side of the right. But you have people talking about transgender, without parental consent, and men transitioning to women and planning women's sports and thinking that that was OK. And people could be incarcerated, and they could have sex changes

and stuff like that. Oh, no, no, no, no.

You don't get to sit up there just points to the right about that.

And I act like it wasn't crazy just on the left too. I'm a moderate. I'm a moderate who primarily votes Democrat. And I'm here to tell you something right now. I don't recognize this last.

But not this one, not the one that I've been seeing over the last few years.

I'm a moderate who will leave left on everything. But dollars, meaning taxes. I can't stand high taxes in California, New York, New Jersey. All right. So where are you a Democrat?

Would be my question to him. If you've rejected the radical transgender movement, if you've rejected identity politics, and if you are a fiscal conservative, where are you a Democrat?

What issue? I don't know what's left. What does moderate mean? What somebody needs to ask him what? I mean, he's alive.

You would have vote for them. Right, he's not in a podcast. Where is he actually on all of this? Right. Don't say moderate.

Moderate is just throwing out a blah, blah, blah. It's the blah blah, a politics where I'm a moderate. Oh, I don't, I don't. I'm not right or left. I'm a doctor.

That's it, that's it. It's the same thing. I'm a moderate. I'm a moderate. I'm a doctor.

I'm a moderate. Yeah, no, no, don't give me your label. Tell me what you believe. Yeah. Because that, and what, what gives, tell me why you would give them support knowing

where they are today, but we, that's a, that's a really good point. What is a moderate in 2026? A blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So a moderate is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Russia's guitarist induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Alex Licent. Greatest Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech ever. blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was so beautiful, so great.

But it's, it is the blah, blah, blah, blah, and in terms of trying to describe where you, because you and I even get into the weeds on, well, I'm a conservative hold on, hold on, because today, we, we kind of have to call off. ify that. But if you're talking about moderate, oh my blah, blah, blah, blah. That's a totally different. Yeah. What you're trying to do is show what that you're fair that the word means nothing. So let's talk about what you believe in and what motivates you to vote for the, is it primarily votes for the left. Well, primarily votes Democrat.

But my point is if you're fiscal conservative and hate taxes, then all the social programs that you may believe as a Democrat that you want, go away. Yeah, because you can't pay. Right. So I don't know where you're coming from. Right. So what are the, the cultural issues is what really got him started.

Then he's telling us he's a fiscal conservative.

Right.

What motivates you to support them and give them the power to do what they're doing.

Hey. I'm Chris Fanfleet. Go behind the scenes and beyond the headlines with the biggest names in pro wrestling and beyond you could pop up in WWE tomorrow. Would Surrey be there or would page be there?

Hey, 1 100% 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 and accepts right in Jelly roll. We knew we had that kind of a moment mindset motivation and what it takes to succeed insight with Chris Fanfleet. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

I want to play this one because this one was fascinating. One of the things that really has appeared in the last couple of weeks and it's because of what's his name.

Oh, the guy in Maine, planner. Yeah, in Maine, the Nazi is that the Democrats are now talking about authenticity that, you know, if, well, you know something. He was angry and that's why he became a Nazi and the fact that he's willing to show and tell us that he was a Nazi. That's the kind of authenticity that we're looking for these days. Yeah. So, so now radical behavior radical behavior, a radical insane mindset has now become authenticity and I thought this was interesting because CBS picked up on this was they were talking to the Democrat running for Senate and Michigan.

Mallory Morrow, who remember she deleted like thousands and thousands of tweets. Remember the whole thing that she, what was it she voted in California after she moved to Michigan, whatever can't explain any of it. People were looking at the timeline of her of her social media when she was posting, you know, different things out there.

She wished that the, the coastal, the coastal areas could just succeed basically from rural America. She's compared Trump to Nazis and everything else, but she deleted tweets.

Yeah, a ton of tweets and CBS got into the whole authenticity thing with her and I'm like, oh my god, now it's become official that if you're in a complete radical lunatic, that's okay because it's all part now of your authenticity. You're, you're being honest with the people, I'm a Nazi vote for me because I'm authentic. Yeah, here we go. Here's his back and forth. Okay, here we go. Okay, so I'm not going to sit here and litigate with you about California or what you said about the Midwest and an earlier part of your life because you've said those tweets with CNN found.

Represent your authentic side and authenticity counts in the corner of the realm in modern American politics. What I don't understand, state center, more is.

If authenticity authenticity is your core, the realm, why delete them in the first place? Why not let them stand and let people make up their own minds on an authentic basis about who you once were.

Yeah, it's a great question every now and then people clean up their social media accounts. We didn't target any old tweets. We mass deleted everything before 2020. So my next question would be, so it was that bad that everything up until 2020 had to just go away. By the way, there's no reason to ever delete anything from your social media. Well, here's the thing, it's not your server that it's on. Right. What are you cleaning up? This isn't my phone or I need it. I need to clean it every day. Hey, delete the onions or whatever. Right, you know, you know, Eric, you have 400 million photos of your grandkids, maybe you could pair that down a bit.

Right. You know, it's not a server. You're not. Everyone cleans up their social media. No, they don't. No, they don't. I have never. No, I have never deleted anything except in the first five minutes if I make a huge grammatical error because I'm working so quickly and then I repost it again. Right, but I don't think I've ever deleted anything I've ever done on social media and you know that how I know because I'll sit there and and whether it's Facebook or Twitter and people will like something I'll go back to year and a half old.

People actually do go back and look the things that you posted in the past.

Right.

And well, okay, one time I was mowing my lawn and I had my phone in my pocket true story. So my son happened to actually be at the house. I don't know what happened. I don't know how it happened, but my son gets notifications.

This is back when it was Twitter if I post something on Twitter. And it was all of these just random letters in the post. And then I don't know how in the world this happened.

Because I was working in swim trunks because I'm in the heat and everything else and I'll you know cool off and in the hose or whatever you know so I'm always and so my swim trunks.

But I still don't to this day. I was like what and and the jiff that it posted to didn't make was one of those where it didn't make sense. So it actually matched all these random letters of the post that posted. I have no idea my son was at the house happened to be at the house. He runs out of the yard. What what did you post? That said what do you mean? Because I just got the notification you posted look at it was like what I didn't post that. I get my phone out and sure enough it had hit the app and started posting something on it as I was walking.

Wow, with my phone in my pocket. So that I deleted actually thought about keeping it there and explaining what it was. It's never been the case where I've said, oh, got to go clean out the old social media barn.

That's where that's why it was laughable. But the thing is that proves right there. Because the excuse now from Democrats when they do something that is viewed as fringe that they're authentic.

You know, this proves my authenticity as he's saying to her. The whole point should have been when you're not authentic. Yeah, if you're authentic you leave you leave it there to show you you were at that time. Your whole thing that I would that this proves I'm off. I'm all about authenticity is BS because you deleted it. Well, and then trying to make it. It's gaslighting, by the way, well, everyone cleans out there. No, they don't. No, I will say this. A couple of times I've had to delete a comment because I've commented on the wrong post.

You know, somebody will write something and you get busy doing you go back over. Oh, let me finish that comment. You know, like this and somebody has has the question like, or something like, I just love my dog so much. And I'm I'm on a, you know, a post saying that was a great hockey goal that was scored.

Well, that's what I do with anything now. Now the good thing is in the comments with the ads now nothing makes sense because you don't know a lot of these times you don't pick up that it's an ad.

Right, but though besides that, I don't think I've ever deleted anything on social media. I've never master-leaded anything and I've never deleted anything because I would get in trouble for it.

Or I thought later on, maybe I shouldn't have posted that because I've done this too long where you already can you can ready self edit. It's like the times when I've come up with a, you know, different, different innovative names for manure. Ah, yeah. And that's, you know, that's done on purpose because because I know of FCC rules here, it doesn't censor what I can say, but once in a while it may censor how I can say it. Yes, but I always communicate the same message.

Also, we are gentlemen and have a sense of decency. Oh, yeah, because we're authentic.

Gentleman, we're gentlemen. The production crew is laughing. Does that mean I go to the clubs now? Yeah, they do have their own clubs, don't they? Yes, I see no signs.

So if I go, but it's funny because there's no gentlemen on those signs. So if I go, if I go to the gentleman's club, I'll meet people like, yes, let's, let's be very kind towards each other or anything. Wait, look at those.

Right.

It'll be like sitting around having a chat with William Buckley or someone like that.

Yeah. Talking about a round table. World events and what not and using words like what not and what not.

But I just, you can see right through. People look at her. What not?

People still want to be con, don't they? People, my dad was so right. People want to be BS. No, they really, really want to be BS. Please, BS, me more. They do.

Seriously.

Seriously, they really do.

Yeah, they do. Just amazing. We are right, I radio. Brought to you by FPPF, fuel power max.

It's a common road rumor that it's impossible for one truck owner operators and even carriers with just two or three trucks to get freight direct from the source, the shipper.

Yet, a hard one experience from untold numbers of owner operators with authority disproves the notion. Search your home base area. And later, frequent freight destinations to find all the manufacturers, distributors and other shippers in the area.

Once you get that list, ask yourself if those companies know who you are and what you do.

If not, you're leaving opportunities on the table. Strive to own your backyard, to build a solid foundation for the business. For many a small fleet, it's the loads outbound from home that are the bread and butter. But you can take that same approach to the destination area. Identifying shippers there and getting on the phone to make sure they know who you are and what you do.

We'll be right back with more Red Eye Radio with a recurring and dairy McNamara. What are they smoking, can I have some of it?

Bill Crystal writes over the weekend. Not Billy Crystal, not the actor. Will Crystal be the former conservative leader, you probably could have called him a conservative leader 20 years ago, 30 years ago. Yeah, right, I'm pro freedom, pro law and order, pro limited government and pro the declaration of independence and the constitution. And so today I'm a Democrat.

Okay, my response is we're like, dude are you okay?

Yeah, it's you right. Wow, what can I have with your smoking, the tweet that I posted from. Accidentally, while mowing my lawn that day made more sense, you're a huh. No, they stand for none of those. They want to dismantle the constitution.

I just want to comment the heirs is out there again talking about pack on the courts and, you know, doing everything they get rid of the electoral college, all that. The Senate, the Senate, yep, pro law and order. Defund the police, hello, defund the police, defund ice, I just pro limited government. Wow, wow, show me where they stand for that, pro freedom. Show me where they stand for that, yeah.

Show me where they stand for that. Show me examples on each of those. You can't. You're smoking crack. You are smoking crack.

And it's there's just no way around that. I love this one, I can't use all the words holy s. The levels of self delusion and prostitute level pandering are actually impressive. Well, it's like you ran straight into the arms of the party, torching the border, weaponizing the Department of Justice against citizens, bank rupting the country on migrant luxury and green scams, celebrating cop killers.

Immutulating kids controlling speech on social media.

Yeah. I mean, it's just. Yeah. Wow.

Unless he's just trolling.

Maybe. Maybe. [Music] Observing and analyzing VM sanity,

every curly and girly mechanism you might be on red eye radio.

And he is our party and I'm hearing McNamara. Tell me what our red eye radio ampeded in. You could listen when were you choose. You know, when I read that the other day, I just, I thought maybe it wasn't Bill Crystal and then. And, and I was, but I burst out laughing because I'm like, like a parody account or something.

Yeah, what's, what's he trying to sell here? Yeah, right. I'm really trying to sell something, but let's go to Bill Marron Friday. Okay. Bill Marron on Friday, talking again anti-Semitism.

All right. So here we go. All right.

And finally, no roll since yesterday was Israel's birthday.

Having become a nation on May 14th, 78 years ago. Everyone must either wish her a happy birthday or admit their anti-Semitic. Now, it's everyone's right in a free country to be anti-Semitic. Enough with hiding behind Israel or Zionism or Netanyahu. If you think as so many do now that when it comes to human rights, Israel is the monster country of all time,

you either don't read or you don't care about your own hypocrisy. Because there are so many worse places. But that's where we are these days. No Jews, no news. Ha.

But China, Russia, the Sudan, Iran, Myanmar, Haiti, the Congo, North Korea, all way.

And that's how you know it's anti-Semitism.

It's the inconsistency. People talk about Jews these days, like something out of storm front. Except it's not storm front. It's an editor from the American Prospect, which is a venerable liberal publication launched the careers of journalists like Ezra Klein.

And yet no one blinks. When one of their editors says, "Israel is a brainwashed psychopathic death cult that might need to be nuked to save the human race?" Uh-huh. People say the left and the right can't agree on anything these days.

Well, there is this one thing they agree on. Right-winger Tucker Carlson has nickful entities and Holocaust deniers on his podcast and wonders along with them who really was the bad guy in World War II. And many Ark times has on their podcast, super-leftist Hassan Piker, who they call a progressive mind.

Who says Zionist should be treated the same as Nazis, which I assume means hung at Nuremberg. Now, you saw where he attempted to do the moral equivalency of the left and right, right, yeah, where he tried to say Tucker Carlson on the right.

I have never viewed Tucker Carlson being on the right even when he was on crossfire.

You and I were never. We were never caught up in the populist Republican idi--excuse me, idolatry of Tucker Carlson. Right, we were never there. No, no.

We always thought he was odd in his own sort of way. And he basically admitted that the opinions that came from Fox

were because that's what the producers wanted him to do.

Right. And so where he is now-- and I think I have an audio cut coming up here from a bunch of younger Sorgon who was talking about last week that report came out about the October 7th atrocities

in the day before the New York Times story about Israel training dogs to rape prisoners. Yeah, you know, it's just--you notice nobody in the left has jumped on that at all. No one knows. It's so radical.

You can't defend that. In fact, it's the right that's been bringing that thing up and saying, this is false. This is false. Nobody's defending that at all.

But she said, there may--if there's somebody who's considered on the right who's an anti-Semite, they're called out by everybody. Oh, yeah. And it's true. Yeah.

No, you are. And it's, you know, one of the things a meeting that's come out is the one thing that could hurt J.D. Vance is if he still admits that he has a friendship with Tucker Carlson. Yeah.

Yeah, that's a problem. You know, that's a problem in Republican conservative circles that, you know, who are the people, who are the--what is the political group

That is pounding on anti-Semitism?

It's the right. Yeah.

It's Republican conservatives.

And Republican conservatives have no time for racism or discrimination. And post-October 7th, which group was out in mass showing their anti-Semitism. Promoting it. Probably. It was the left.

Let's play this audio cut from Baccia Ungersargan, who is talking about the New York Times opinion piece on Israel. And really sort of covers all the bases here.

Now, understand, remember, she's a lifelong Democrat liberal

who changed about 2020. Yeah. 2020, 2021. She's another one of the group. If you look at, you know, the Michael Sheldonburgers

and Matt Tiabies, the Barry Weiss's out there. The Jonathan Turley's. Yeah.

Even though he's never said he's still not a Democrat,

but you're not going to find many Democrats or Americans where he is welcome anymore, because he's a constitutionalist. And says, here's what the Constitution actually means. They don't want to hear that.

And then we can go to Dersuids, where Dersuids is. Right now.

But here she is talking about the New York Times.

You might not know it, but May is Jewish heritage month in the United States. So it was especially galling when the New York Times ran a front page opinion piece by columnist Nicholas Christoff, and I mentioned that among other things, Israel had trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners.

Yep. You heard that right. The New York Times, the one-time paper of record, the definitive legacy newspaper of this country, published an outright fabrication that has really

had somehow overcome the laws of nature and taught dogs to rape Palestinians. It's astonishing that this needs to be said, but Jews trained dogs to rape prisoners is an IQ test. And if you believe it, you just failed. What's worse is the piece preempted by a day, the publication of the most

comprehensive report of the sexual crimes that Hamas had committed against

Israeli men, women, and children on October 7th, and after.

They gang raped men and women before dismembering them. They sexually tortured the hostages they took, including the little girls. They committed crimes too horrific to repeat. Yet the day before this report came out, this report of actual crimes by Palestinians against Israeli Jews, the times went with a fabricated report

of Jewish crimes against Palestinians. It's atrocity in version. It's victimhood envy, and it's just the purest form of antisemitism. Ants true. Yep. And so expect the conservative right to just pound on the New York Times

over and over and over again on that. Well, it's, you know, what Bill Mar was right to point out is when you're using words, well, it's Israel, the problem I have is Israel, or the Zionist, or Netanyahu, or, no, no. We know how you really think.

And that weird piece by the New York Times is one prime example. It's bizarre, weird. I mean, I don't even know why in the world. You would even post something like that. You would even write something like that.

I really don't know. Your mind is twisted. And your hatred is shown. Yeah. And their defense, well, it's an opinion piece. What's not? No, it isn't.

I mean, we know that everything they write in the New York Times is basically opinion.

It's their liberal activism. That's behind it. There is no journalism at the New York Times that hasn't been the case. And a long, long time. Well, it's going to be a fascinating next few months as we go up to the midterms.

Because, you know, we'll see what will see what happens. The pressure, I mean, even though Trump said there is no pressure on prices. We know there is right now in this administration with a, with a ran. But you get a ran settled. If prices come down, the, it doesn't matter the appeal of the tariffs.

The 150 days for the tariffs is over what beginning of July. Yeah. Yeah. So that will end on that day.

That was even a lot less.

I think that's, it's been about. I forgot. I forgot the amount.

But it was a lot less than 100, nearly 200 billion.

Or the 168 billion that they have to now refund.

I don't think that if you include, I think that's a total amount.

That it probably includes interest or whatever. Yeah. But there's still a lot of tunnel lawsuits coming out. Right. People wanting damages.

Yeah. But companies don't need damages. Yeah. And then you've got a ton of lawsuits of people filing, people filing. Class action suits, saying wait a minute.

What's going on here? Were the ones that paid it? Right. You know, here are the, here are the stats. You know, we companies paid American companies paid 94% of the, the, you know, of the tariffs.

And, you know, if I've seen figure 70% of that or 80% of that was paid for by the consumer in increased prices. The company gets all the money. I forgot what company said. They're going to put that money into. Not refunds, but lowering all the prices.

Yeah. I don't know. But it does. I don't know which company said. I forgot a company said it last week.

I forgot. Yeah.

But of course, that's what that's what you want to convey.

We're going to take what we get back and, and translate that into savings for our customers. So because you because what you're demonstrating is the full supply chain of facts. Right. And if you don't acknowledge that when you get the money back, if you don't return that in some way to your customer, there's going to be again, there's, you're going to, it's going to be not good for business.

FedEx UPS. Oh, okay FedEx UPS said they will give tariff refunds to customers. All right. There it is. Yeah.

Let me just get to right here. FedEx and UPS are valid to return refunded money to customers in the wake of the February court ruling. And Wednesday UPS confirmed the news. To next start adding that the company will be working with the U.S. Customs and Board of Protection, which is now accepted in refund request. To provide reimbursement.

The first phase of the process will cover above of a UPS is processing.

That's all about they're going to be fine. That's why sublaw to blah, blah, blah, blah. Is that on items that were shipped globally that where the customer paid the direct import. Fed, the tariff. I'm trying to see here.

Because that makes sense because at that point, the customer, you've got a direct receipt of the customer paying. That import fee that that tariff. Our intent is straightforward when refunds are issued to FedEx. We were issued refunds to shippers and consumers who originally bore those changes. Yeah.

Yeah. I'll want to direct one floor to consumer who paid $8 for shipping. Yeah. And even more for a FedEx tariff bill told the Associated Press. Yeah.

This is Fragranceorio from Toronto wasn't worth the $10 tariff for $27 purchase. Right. So they passed it directly onto their, so that makes sense. Okay. They passed it directly on the actually noted.

And you've got to receive it. And by the way, that that makes sense for global shipping companies. Because that also may make sense legally. Make it much easier. Well, yeah, legally.

You know, you don't pay directly. You know, whatever. Whatever transaction you made. Yeah. You got to receive it on every.

Yep. But the Republican still can change. The major issues affecting them. Mm-hmm. The Democrats can't.

No, in fact, they're going full bore in the opposite direction. They're going to do more of the same.

Who was it, Mark Elias said well-known Democrat attorney member from the Clinton administration?

Oh, yeah. John had the turly wrote an article on that where he said. He pointed out the Constitution of Virginia. The after the redistricting basically making the point. We didn't get rid of the entire government.

Get rid of the entire government. And turly's like, yeah, that's a solution. Yeah. Get rid of the entire Virginia government. Yeah.

It's good to see that there's critical thinking minds

and the Democrats side. Right. We are run eye radio. We won't open for your goals. 866.

90-red eye on red eye radio. [MUSIC PLAYING] We are run eye radio. He's her groaning. I'm guring back tomorrow.

So, you know, just it's the end of the hour.

I had to just glance at the Babylon B, right?

Sure. Ready? Here we go. What do you got?

The New York Times updates their slogan to all the news that's fit to prison.

You know, it's a trend. Excuse me, all the news that's fit to print plus any other rumor no matter how implausible. [LAUGHTER] No, that's perfect.

I just love that one. Yeah.

What was the other one that I saw that made me laugh?

Oh, yeah, that's one.

Kids excited to learn of cool new alternative

to vaping called smoking cigarettes. [LAUGHTER] Yeah. How long before that's cool? Well, I want to make this case.

Remember, long time ago when they came out. They were certain communities banning candy cigarettes because they lead the cigarette smoking. I thought it was a gateway drug to stickers bars.

Well, as I said, it's not a gateway drug.

And I know that. Yeah.

For fact, because when I was a kid, I mean, we had candy cigarettes.

I mean, my blood sugar, my A1C must have been a hundred. Yeah. And, you know, we love those things. And when we tried-- And they were pure sugar, by the way.

Yeah. Cool cigarettes, the menthol cigarettes behind my dad's garage. They weren't sweet at all. They didn't taste like candy cigarettes. No, none of the people behind that garage

had smoked a cigarette after-- Gorge and on, candy cigarettes ever ended up smoking. Yeah. And when you chewed them, they were gross. [LAUGHTER]

They were. [MUSIC PLAYING] This is Ridae Radio. On Westwood One. Hello, America, Mark Levin here.

Many people seem to be incubating a rage looking for somewhere to go.

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? It wasn't 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. But my privilege show.
