Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything...
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, clearing
the desk off because it's a Friday field. We can come in. Yeah, flying to see dad, flying out at, it's really, I'm in there for 25 hours.
“Yeah, well, I fly in at, I think it's like noon today, getting it at four, hang out”
see dad for a while, go back to the hotel, get a good night's sleep, go back, see dad in the morning, go out to breakfast with my sisters and my nieces and nephews and maybe my brother and lawn. Yeah, whatever and then go back and see my dad for a couple of hours, get back on a plane come back.
All right, so, and I have to, I had to get my jeans back out. I'm in short, it's not to work, I've got lighter long pants that I wear here, but I
had to pull my jeans were basically packed away until next fall and then I realized, oh man,
it's going to be in the 40s. I wear jeans all year round, yeah, I just can't, it's just too hot.
“I never know when I'm going to get on a horse, I'm already thinking that you've got”
to wear jeans to the airport, like nine, 10 o'clock, nine, 30 this morning, it's going to be 80 already, I just, I hate cold and I hate heat, I don't mind heat if I'm not wearing long pants and long shirts, like summer vacations, you know, the beach and that thing, of course. But nine times out of 10, even in the summer, I'm wearing jeans, it's a thing, and you know, it's also, I don't wear like sandals, I see a lot of people, and it's fine
where they, you know, they're wearing sandals to whatever the store and everything else.
For me, I always want to be wearing shoes, I can run it, because of the cops, mainly because
of the cops. No, I, I always feel like I may need shoes that are skirtier, you know, and I don't know what that feeling comes from. Wait, do you get to be my age? My shoes are totally for comfort with special insoles and, no, I've got everything to,
you know, make sure I, I've got the most comfortable shoes, but it's just I don't, what's what I'm wearing? They open toes.
“That's what I mean, yeah, but the sandals aren't the same, you can't, I mean, you've”
got to wear, we, we need our support, but I have, you know, when I walk, I can feel the cushion. Yeah, it's like, yeah, me too, it's like, yeah, my shoes are great, but I think I lower an inch when I, yeah, down, it's like, yeah, yeah, and I added more padding inside my shoes. I've got the, the memory foam shoes that I, but I add more padding inside them and they're
extremely comfortable, but I, I don't, like, I see people all the time wearing sandals like everywhere. All right, yeah, you're age, yeah, no, you're age. My age really. Yeah, which is really, really, really, really, really, really old.
Yeah, I just never, I just never been a, never been a sandals.
I saw a guy yesterday, he was probably your age and we, and alive, upright, yes, and as far as I know, and he had a Hawaiian shirt on, and he had bright colored shorts and some open-toed sandals, and, you know, we're, we're not near a beach, but I thought to myself, no, this is cool. This is good.
If this, you know, it could be just, he could have just decided, if I retirement years in the summer, I'm just going to be, always, every day is going to be a vacation. This is how I'm going to dress and good for him. I have one Hawaiian shirt that I wear on, on, on 4th of July, on Independence Day, because it's all flags and fireworks, it's just, but you really can't, you know, I have one that's
Very expensive and so I'm very, very careful about what I wear.
I, I mean, we're not, I mean, we're not flag day in a couple of weeks.
Yeah. All right. Hey, I'm Chris Fansley, 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 Syrabe there or would Paige be there?”
Hey, 1,100 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 make 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 Fansley, follow and listen on your favorite platform. I just, I saw this and I went, whoa, it was an upbeat piece from Teddy Daniels. Here's the headline. I'm the soldier that Graham Platner mocked.
He's the one with a purple heart. Yeah.
“Democratic men are having an identity crisis.”
He's a prime example. Democratic men are having an identity crisis, mains Graham Platner, the party's presumptive nominee for U.S. Senate is a prime example. Mr. Platner presents himself as a savior for working class Americans while his background screams the opposite and his offensive comments about fellow veterans, including me, speak
poorly of his character, the tough-talking marine veteran struts around in his carharts, a jacket, and jeans, but recent reporting relates that he comes from a prestigious family where he had access to elite private school education and the lifestyle of privilege. He also plays up his job as an oyster farmer, but the only client mentioned in his federal financing disclosure was the restaurant his mother owns Mr. Platner has been caught disparaging
the service of fellow veterans like decorated Navy seal Chris Kyle and Vice President J.D. Vance.
“He also disparaged me while commenting on a viral video of a firefight in which I sustain”
numerous wounds from a Taliban ambush. I received a purple heart for my injuries, but Mr. Platner cheered for my death from behind a keyboard, Kyle Mr. Vance and I did not grow up privileged. Kyle's father worked for the phone company, we all know Mr. Vance story. I was a son of a brick mason father and a mother who worked in a textile mill.
My father who died of cancer several years ago would have had a field day with Mr. Platner.
He was always talking about the spoiled rich kid politicians who come out to the job sites
to get votes and take pictures. Dad would come in on the work boots they wore boots that never saw a day of work and their car heart jackets, which still had creases from being on the shelf at the tractor supply company store. Flannel shirt and all, Grand Platner is Tim Wolves on steroids, an entitled brat who
campaigns with socialist Bernie Sanders are real man by the lights of the Democratic Party. He presents himself as relatable to working class Americans, but in reality he's the typical elitist who believes blue collar hardworking, salt to the earth, rural Americans are stupid and racist. I couldn't care less about the comments he made about me, but they are a reflection of
his character. I never thought I'd see the day when Democrats would even consider a
backing a candidate like this. Well, yeah, I mean a common Nazi. Yeah, yeah, and by the way, if you've just heard that you go, would it just say we're combining communist and Nazi because you know, he's having a problem, you know, he was a Nazi. Now he's a communist and we said, you know, you're, you're making a, you know, interesting
to say, we decided just to encompass it all because the Platner can't decide is he wish to be more like Hitler or Stalin. And that has to be something, you know, that might, that would keep me up nights if that was my mindset, if that was an error in my mind. Well, I'm going to be Hitler or Stalin. Right. Yeah. So we just came up with common Nazi. Right. We combine the communist. Yeah. Communazi. Right. So I thought it was really interesting to say, wow, this is
the guy that he mocked who got the purple heart. There he is. Wall Street Journal. No problem. Given him an op-ed piece. All right. CBS news fires. Those, those two 60 minutes correspondents and top producer. Here we go. And I just love the panic on the left. They're taking away journalism. No. It's Barry Weiss. Barry Weiss is not a conservative. Yeah.
Barry Weiss, lifelong liberal.
not journalists. They're political activists. And we said from the very beginning, we said, hmm, don't know where you're going to go with the nightly news. I don't know where she's going to go on 60 minutes. I don't know. There, when there's an expectation, when the brand that you have, even if CBS, for example, back a few years ago, would promote themselves as journalists with integrity. They were not in everybody knew it. Yeah. Everybody knew it.
Right. Right. And, and they're, you know, most journalists that are called themselves journalists are political activists. And they don't, they don't have any shame. You would think that after being completely wrong and bind into the lie that Trump colluded with the Russians
to hack the election, that there would be some soul searching. There was never any. And
“you and I remember that after the, uh, what, what, the, when, when the investigation was done”
on, the Mueller report came out and you had conservatives out there saying, we hope this teaches the mainstream media a lesson that they need to be more like journalists. And we said, stop that. Shut up. Don't do that. They're not journalists or political activists. There's no shame. They just move on to the next lie. The next piece of propaganda. They have no interest in the truth. Right. And, and so don't, when you say that, you come off
as idiots, even if I agree with you politically, you come off like an idiot, especially to, you know, those people because they understand their political activism. They know they're not journalists. They've no interest in journalism. Right. And so when you see today, number one, when you see that, when you see it, and, and that was the brand. The brand was you go to CBS and, okay, you support leftist causes. You're not going to treat a conservative
or a Republican like you are a Democrat. Everybody knows it. Right. Now, the leftists find with it, we have said we don't know if there's a market. Now, I saw that the CBS TV news
was up a little bit last week, but they're still in third place. Right. Yeah. And, you
know, I don't know if there's a market out there. We've become so tribal in our news. I don't know if there's a market and whether you can sell because already with the leftist saying is, you're not going to get the left to watch you. You make it some of the right. But the right already has, if you're coming across and saying, you know, we want to do pure journalism, we're fair and balanced. Whatever, Fox already has that. They're ready to use that. And
they get a Republican conservative audience to watch them. Yeah. You've got news, Max. You know, also out there is a room to to brand yourself. I don't know if there's the market space available. Yeah. Right. Even though I approve of what she's doing, I don't know whether the market
“exists for financial success. I hope it does. I would love to, you know, I think about when John”
Malone, who's part of the discovery group. And he's, you know, he's a big media mogul. When they were acquiring CNN. And he mentioned that he would like to see CNN go back to the old headline news days and you and I yawned like boring. And and because I don't think there's
a market for that, I don't think there's a market with me for that. And basically saying he wanted to
take all of the bias out of it. I get what he's saying. I know what, what, you know, I'd like to go back to the time when, well, but we're not in that time. I don't mind that they have opinionated shows, but don't call the the anchors journalists. And when it comes to CBS, you're talking about having to revamp an entire news organization,
“basically from the top. That's why Barry Weiss was, was brought in. I don't know how you do that.”
I don't because I can, I can only think of a handful. You know, if you're going to bring in real journalists to do real work, Matt Tybe, Michael Shelhamberger, Barry Weiss, there's three.
You know, I mean, we think of those that were associated with the Twitter fil...
people came to know them. There are a few others that have done honest work. As you mentioned,
“Fox News kind of has the, you know, fair and balanced thing tied up in terms of their branding.”
And I don't know the Barry Weiss wants to be a Fox News, but in terms of actual fair and balanced journalism, it is going to be you're going to have to, and maybe she does search the world.
And I do mean that the world for people who want to do true journalism, which I've always said,
is a critical part of a free society. Real journalism is a critical part of a free society, but I don't know how you populate that newsroom. And I don't know how you populate the management lie down. Well, we looked at it this way. If you had a heavy metal station. Yeah. And you decide to change the format to country. Right. Do you keep the DJs? No. No. No, you're not or reverse. You've got a conversation. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. They're not, they're not,
“they're not going to keep you because you don't fit, you don't fit the brand. Right. There's”
no way Barry Weiss was going to change the political activism of 60 minutes. You got to get rid of
everybody. Yeah. If you don't get rid of everybody, you can't do it. Yeah. Right. Because you're
asking them to do something that you're asking a plumber to be a police officer or a police officer to be a plumber. Exactly. And the analogy is not built. They're not built to do that. They're not driven to do that. Not that they wouldn't eventually through training, maybe able to get it done. But that's, you're talking at the core. These individuals are don't want to be journalists. They want to be activists. We are right. I radio brought to you by FPPF fuel power max independence
with carrier authority should be mindful than negotiations strength varies as the weak progresses.
“Typically, the highest rates across major segments are paid for loads and negotiated on Sundays”
and the highest volume of loads for all segments is seen on Mondays. Also the weekday
that tends to be the best for flatbed negotiations, yielding the best rates. Owner operators tend to have less negotiations strength on Tuesday, which shows the lowest weekday spread between brokers' offer grades and actual paid rates. Broker offers tend to rise by Wednesday as the end of the week is in sight. This day also seems optimal for the three o'clock usalt, so called for its reliance on that
afternoon time of day when brokers are getting nervous to improve negotiation strength. Stay mindful of this system to maximize your revenue.

The Dallas Morning News goes after Paxton here for saying the Telerico is a vegan, all right, and they're saying the Dallas Morning News,
this is just great. And Trump made a similar statement saying he's a vegan, but public evidence doesn't show that. Telerico was denied being a vegan multiple times and was recently pictured eating meat. And as they say they go, it comes from Telerico's critics point to a 2022 speech during a fundraiser for a group that lobbies for humane animal treatment at the time. He was running for reelection for the Texas House of Representatives
during the speech Telerico said reducing meat consumption is the moral thing to do. And necessary to fight climate change. I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign, so we are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses. He said adding everyone has to take personal responsibility in the effort. He did not say in the clip, he is a vegan. Nobody said we, and art is his campaign.
It's his campaign. He is the campaign!
Tell your friends, we're here to make it.
And he is Eric Hartley. I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome in good morning. So that is what was so hilarious
“about the the whole Dallas morning news going after Paxton and Trump for St. Telerico is a vegan.”
Yeah, they said, well, he didn't say he was a vegan. All he said in 2022 was that his entire campaign would be vegan. Yeah. Right. And he said, we and art, it's his campaign. So he is the campaign. He is the, there is no, the campaign does not exist for any other reason except for him. Right. Now, the only other possibility that you could get out of it is he was attempting to
deceive the people that he was talking to by saying the campaign would go vegan, but he would not.
Right. Yeah. And so he would be lying and he would be a hypocrite by not specifically saying
“the campaign will go vegan, but I'm not a vegan. He didn't say that. Right.”
Dallas morning news. My God. I mean, you're talking about the way you're talking. I knew when we played the audio earlier this week. I knew someone on the left or a leftist newspaper or somebody was going to try and make that point. Well, he didn't say he he said we he was referring to the campaign. He is the campaign. It's just, I'm here. Imagine this. You know, a Paul McCartney. He's, he's, everybody knows he's a vegan. Right. And so imagine this.
We as a band, the Beatles back in the day, I mean, he became a vegan after the Beatles, but
“imagine the Beatles, you know, were together and all of a sudden he just said, you know,”
we're becoming vegans. And by we, I mean, Ringo, George and John, not me. The band is vegan. I'm not vegan. That's so laughable to try and make that point. We, we, it's this, it is this virtue signaling garbage. And by the way, also fence walking. No, I'm, you know, I look, I like barbecue. I eat barbecue. Right. Yeah. You know, you're going to need some meat eaters to vote for you, carnivores, because vegans are too weak to get themselves to the
pulse. I mean, some help getting to the polls. It's just so stupid. Just so stupid. Again, when I get out of this was he was attempting to deceive the group that he was talking to in 2022. If he's not a vegan, he was lying to them, but omitting by implying that the campaign, and I love it, because Dallas, morning news, in order to do the mental gymnastics has to pretend that the campaign has nothing to do with him. And when he says, R, and we, that that doesn't,
this not inclusive to him. Right. Yes. Exactly. And he didn't say, look, we're going to be vegan
for the campaign, but I've never been a vegan before, and I don't plan to be a vegan now,
and I don't plan to be a vegan afterwards. He gave the impression that was the lifestyle that he led, and he did it because of cruelty to animals, but most importantly, climate change. So he was attempting, he was attempting to deceive at the minimum. He was attempting to deceive the far left organization that he was talking to. Yeah. Right. It's just so stupid. And I would just for Republicans just continue to play it over and over again. You don't, by the way, a lot of these
things, you don't need to explain anything. Just play the audio. Yep. You don't have to explain to people. They can come to their own decisions based on his words alone. Yep. The Dallas morning news. Like, he didn't say he personally was a vegan. I love it. Oh, my gosh. I had, we just, we had to bring
That, we had to just bring that one up.
about Iran. Yeah. Well, the framework, the discussion of the framework of the, and by the way, the only person that didn't seem to be talking a lot about it yesterday was the president.
Yeah. That's a great point. Is it because everybody, you know, when it first hit, it was like,
well, if the president approves it, I thought, wait a minute. Hold on a second. What do you mean,
“if the president approves it, then is there anybody on the president's team? You know, I think”
of Marco Rubio, because Marco Rubio, if there's something that's going back and forth and he receives it and believes the president would be on board. We'd hear pretty quickly from the president and the president didn't seem to be very vocal about that at all, yes. No, not at all. You think
they're, so, okay, a few possibilities. That the first being does his work for us politically
to delay it, basically, another 60 days. Or are we going to have our base upset that we're not going to finish this thing? Because what they're trying to do, I mean, if they're delaying this, it's kicking the can, kicking the Iran can down the robe thing is, you know, you can say, well, it settles the mark. I don't think it settles the market. Let me check and see. I haven't checked it a few hours. Let me see where oil is right now.
Oil is at 88 and change. You know, but, you know, you're not in the territory of, all right, we're getting, it's dropping dramatically, dropping dramatically. Because a delay really doesn't tell us anything. A delay could mean total chaos in 60 days or at any moment between now and that 60 day deadline or or whatever it is, whatever, you know, they're going to call it. So, I, I don't trust any of it. I don't trust Iran. Iran had some harsh words,
you know, and they, and and Iran did kind of admit yesterday that, well, yeah, the red line, you know, basically is the enriched uranium. Well, yeah, we all know that. That's not news.
“I think it was writers where I wrote it or read it. And I thought, why, that's not a story.”
I mean, I guess if Iran makes a statement on anything, it is a story, but it, it's, it doesn't, it's not new. Well, when I saw it with the first thing I saw yesterday, there'd be a, there'd be a possible future framework. Yeah, of a potential ceasefire, and I'm just like, don't castanza this. It's a different thing I thought. Don't, and I'm talking to the, the, the media outlet that wrote that I can't remember who wrote it. But that was the first thing
who came to my mind was don't castanza this. Because first off, it was almost as if there was going to be a peace deal. And then it was like, well, no, they've got a potential framework for a, you know, for a hopefully, a future ceasefire deal, and negotiate the nuclear stuff down the road. Now, there isn't anybody that didn't say, well, that's exactly what Iran wants.
Yeah, but the devil's always in the details. I won't say that yet because I don't know
what the ceasefire will require. But one of the concerns is, even if they get, this is a big concern that even if you are able to get the uranium, are you saying you will fully allow Iran to keep all of their oil money and start it all up funding their pro-terrorist proxies again? Right. How do you, how do you stop that from happening? Right. You know, what, what do you do at, you know, what do you do at that, you know, at that
“point? But I don't know if that's what's going to go on. I don't believe anything, really. I just”
go by, I go by what everybody says, and then, and you know, but by, by what the source is saying,
Then, we analyze whether, you know, what the consequences of that would be, b...
know, especially with Trump being as quiet because it really was started in midday, didn't it?
Yeah, it did. Trump still needs to do, and then nothing from Trump all day, nothing. Yeah, I, I, I, it's something's odd about this one. Because if Trump wanted to calm the market, see what it said, something positive. Hey, we're getting very close, very close. Yeah, very close. He's done it many times. And, and this just seemed to be cricket's man. And that's unusual from him. And it, it, it has me wondering, okay, before he gives the
rubber stand. It, it tells me one of two things. One possibility is that they've got a ran on board
fully, and all he has to do was sign it and give the rubber stand. But before he does that, he's got to
“assess the political effect of it. Well, as he, as I saw Larry Cudlow and was it just he waters?”
Talking yesterday saying, the president came out and said, he doesn't care about the midterms at all, and that shows the guts that he has, of course he's considering the midterms. Yeah, stop it. Yeah, you know, of course he's considered the politics of it as extremely important as to what's going on right now. You know, so don't, don't say the politics and prices don't matter. So one of the reasons they've been so optimistic, they're trying to keep gas prices down.
We all know it. Don't BS. I said, when Cudlow said it, it sort of ticked me off because Cudlow has, you know, a times jumped into the, you know, the BS department, and that was clearly in the BS department. Of course, Trump cares about politics. Right. Of course the political consequences of it. So stop it. I know he says he doesn't and the Democrats use it against him, and then his supporters
“will say no, it shows he has the, the, the, the guts, but are they looking at political consequences?”
Yes, because the things that Trump has already accepted and this going on this long is not something we went to war with them because the president wasn't accepting this kind of thing. Right. Right. Yep. So look, he's in a tough position. I understand that, but let's not BS. And I agree with what the president has done so far. Yeah. You know, and if we end it now,
I'm still concerned about the, you know, the oil money and what happens to them as a, as, as a country, you know, this isn't, you know, the president remember a month and a half ago was a month ago, five weeks ago. The only acceptable thing was unconditional surrender. We're no longer talking unconditional surrender. Right. Nobody is if that came to fruition, it would be great, but no one
“is talking about that, not even the president. No. No. And, and I think that it's quite possible that”
that scenario I lined out could be in play because the president seems to be hesitant. He hasn't been quite at all about any of these moves about we've got to deal. We're close to a deal until now, which tells me it really is up to him. And he's wondering if this is the right thing because is this going to backfire on him politically? And is he going to look weak if he does this? We are right, I radio. We'll be right back with more right, I radio with every currently and
Gary McNamara. We are right, I'm ready. Oh, he's there, honey, and I'm Gary McNamara. I saw this on CNBC Eric just five years ago. Yeah, five years ago, just a little over five percent of auto loans were $1,000 or more a month.
Now that was five percent five years ago. Now latest first quarter this year, 19 percent of
auto loans a thousand bucks a month or more. Oh gosh. And not the majority are not luxury vehicles. That's insane. Yep. It's insane. I know. Well, no wonder younger people don't want to own cars. Forget it all over. I don't have to pay insurance. I mean, if they live in an area that's kind
Of close to everything in a metro area, that might make sense for them.
I'll get a roommate. We'll Uber, we'll, we'll, you know, whatever. And I'm not a thousand plus that
