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 there crawling on during McNamara. Hey, I know there's a ton of stuff that happened yesterday, but I want to get to, I just,
I thought about this yesterday after I was driving home and I went, "Wow, I forgot to say that." This is when we were talking about the Democratic Socialist of America, which is, I mean, that's the group of people that's taking over the Democratic Party. I mean, they believe in all the radical things out there and you're talking about AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Donny, Platner, and anybody in the squad, and they're the leaders,
but the Democratic Party is going along with it. And I saw somebody wrote today, I forgot, I'll find it.
“I think I actually printed it up somewhere in my pile of stuff that was saying”
that the Democratic Socialist of America, that really primarily appeals to the young people and the old people won't vote that way. Well, look at the last election with Kamala Harris and how radical she was. When you look at it, we talked about this because this is what amazed us is that the older demographics for the Democrats are the most loyal towards the Democrats. When I saw that, I went, "What?" But one of the things that I forgot to mention
from this story, and we talked about what the Democratic Socialists of America want, where they want the Democratic Party to go, a lot of it they've already gone. You know, the radical transgender movement identity politics without question as we know, which is the racism of the Democratic Party, where they judge people by groups and not individuals. They also want to abolish the US Senate. They want to defund the Pentagon.
You know, money for the military, universal honesty to illegal immigrants, transfer ownership of major corporations to the public. I mean, I become a stockholder. No, actually, they take it away from the public and give it to the government. Yes, they're already. We have publicly traded companies. Yes. That is the private sector. What they're saying is the government owns it.
Right. But this is the one that I wanted to do. They also demand the police budgets be kept to be cut to zero. It was the other thing. It was OK. And the statement that the US has an imperialist nation and everything else.
But the other one was that the president and the Supreme Court with a chief executive, which is the president and the judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. They wish to get rid of the separation of powers. Yes. And I didn't mention the items. We mentioned that we didn't mention the effect of what that actually means.
Right. And as we've said before, when you ask people, you go on.
“You say, what's the most important part of the Constitution?”
Probably people would say freedom of speech, right? Or the second amendment, or the Bill of Rights? Nope. Probably that would be the-- That's what you-- I'm going to guess that would be the most frequent answer.
We're actually the most important part of the Constitution is the separation of powers and down.
Scally a road about that. Yeah. And it was-- if you think about it, one of the most important observations. Right. There is no Bill of Rights. There is no Bill of Rights if there's no separation of powers. There is nothing without separation of powers. Everything-- that's what everything falls apart. Which is what they want. Right. And the entire thing of--
When you look at the separation of powers, the Senate and the House are actually part of that. Right. Right.
“I say-- I say for this democratic social group of-- what are they called themselves?”
Democratic social group of America, whatever-- the communist of America. The Pinko comics. The Pinko comics.
Here's what I think they should do. Just come out and say, one person in charge for a very, very long time.
The government owns everything and provides to you only what you need. There. Pretty simple. We don't have police. Oh, wait a minute.
Now, eventually, they would have police because of you and, you know, any of ...
Let's say. And you wanted to start an uprising against this one person in power.
“Their police would not allow that to happen and would, of course, take action against you.”
But the separation of powers is the basis of everything that the United States is based upon, which made us different at that time and has been followed by so many nations across the world. And the Democrats wanted gone. And I don't want to hear that, well, there's a split here in the democratic party. Not with the politicians, they're not. The voters keep putting in the most radical politicians on the Democrat side.
You don't see a Democrat uprising saying, "My God, you believe that men should be able to expose themselves to women in a locker room.
Are you nuts? You know, people still Democrat, the Democrats that are still left that are voting are for all of these things. Right. As the polls have shown, we did about a month ago, one of the people actually believe that vote Democrat, and it's like, "Okay, it mirrors what the Democrats are actually promoting." But the separation of powers, which means power cannot accumulate in one area of the government. When you see what the Democrat socialist of America are doing here, what they want the democratic party, and what they want eventually the legislation to be, is to put all the power in Congress that is only based on population without a Senate.
“That's what I said, but with just the population, that the states would not matter. Think about this. I haven't heard Republicans, maybe. I haven't heard any Democrat politician in Virginia, for example,”
because we talked about what they did in Virginia, they want to join the compact.
Right. You know, the compact that said, "However Virginia votes, it won't matter. It's what the majority of states want to do. We follow that as a part of this compact, everyone who's part of the compact, they'll decide, so whatever we decide as a state doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Right. As a group decides.
From Democrat, there's been no peep saying, "Wait a minute. You're taking the voice of Virginia citizens of my God." I'm just thinking Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, that's just by the name of my God. And they're saying, "Virginia citizens don't matter." Right. That's what they said. Right. That's exactly what Virginia citizens don't matter. Now Republicans are screaming about it, but Democrats don't care. Democrats don't care.
“They would love it. Look, I believe a number of them of the rank-and-filer are thinking, "Look, there are a couple of things this does for me."”
Is that the whole nuisance of having to go vote. I'm not going to have to do that anymore. I'll just let all these other states that are part of this compact, for our state decide for us. And the fact that those same people, the rank-and-file, that believe that also believe that they'll make the right decision and that the group, the mob should rule. Yeah. That the mob should rule. And by having the Supreme Court under the authority of Congress, that means the Bill of Rights means nothing.
It means nothing. I don't mean anything anymore. Because whatever, the tyranny of the majority, which the founding fathers were against, and the beautiful thing is, it's the same Democrats that sit there and say, the antiquated philosophy of the founding fathers who put together this document and the racism, yet what they wish to get through, get to, is a reactionary government where power will sit with the tyranny of the majority, which is what our founding fathers were against. And if you understand, as we said, why the electoral college exists, why the Senate exists.
And it's really the same reason, but you look at it, you and I said, look at the future, and they're talking about, we talked about this yesterday, the population ships, that the population, you're going to have so much of the population in 75 years, if things continue the way they are in Texas and in Florida. And I'm talking about massive amounts. Texas will have twice the population of California.
Yeah.
And you're going to have southern states that have a lot more power, which means all these rules and it's, you know, it's like it's like the panic for the rank choice voting in California, when they thought this might not go our way. We're going to do, oh my god, oh my god, we got to change this, we got to change this, we got to change this. And so I find it, I find it really interesting, but it's important to bring up, because it also fits in with this. I want to play this here. This is Harriet, because this is about the polls and independent stay in fourth of July.
“It's something that we've talked about before when we get to independent stay and say, well, what is the patriot?”
If you completely disagree with the constitution of the United States, if you believe that the separation of power should be gone,
if you believe the Senate should be gone, if you believe the electoral college should be gone, if you believe the first amendment should be gone,
if you believe the second amendment should be gone, well, you're actually not a patriot, because a patriot believes in the basic concepts of the ultimate law, which is the constitution of the United States. Yeah, if you don't believe in it, what America are you loyal to? Right. And that's not over the top rhetoric. It's based on, you know, define, you know, what a patriot is, but let's go to Harriet and talking about patriotism, the, you know, independent stay coming up and the way the two parties think. Here we go.
This to me is one of the most stunning divides that we have seen, you know, we're talking about polarization and politics. It even comes down to what you believe July 4th actually is. Like, what is July 4th mean you? Celebrate America, friends and family type.
Among Republicans, what do you see? You see the clear majority say it's a time to celebrate America, 65 percent.
Among Democrats, however, the plurality disagree, look at that. What do you see friends and family time at 42 percent versus just 24 percent who say that what it means most of them is to celebrate America. So even on the basic question of what July 4th means to you, we have Republicans on one end saying celebrate America more of them say that. And Democrats on the other end saying that it means more to them to have time with friends and family.
“What do they say about the flag? Yeah, okay. So what do they say about the flag?”
Even on the basic level of flag, look at this. Look at how we have an increasing polarization on this issue. Will display the flag on July 4th, the American flag. Back in July, if 2001, look at this. You had 68 percent of Republicans, 65 percent of Democrats saying that they wouldn't in fact display the flag on July 4th.
You come over to this side of the screen. Republicans basically are where they were 25 years ago, right, 64 percent.
But look at that Democratic percentage, absolutely plummeting. Just 27 percent of Democrats say they will in fact display the flag on July 4th. Democrats and Republicans in different camps, even on the simple question of displaying the flag on July 4th, a polarization, a split that simply put did not exist a generation ago.
“So I guess the question is, where are we wrong when we say Democrats are not patriots?”
If you don't, if the Democrats are going here and the Democratic Party agrees with the Democratic Socialist of America, if that's where that party is going, where they wish to shred the Constitution of the United States. Well, of course, they don't want to fly the flag. They don't believe in America. No, they don't, they want, if this is the attempt and has been the attempt for a very, very long time, dismantle the Constitution. And you know, you started asking the question years ago, okay, then what would the Constitution, your Constitution, your version of the Constitution look like?
And of course, you know, we never get the answers. It's just a question you throw out there, and it's never going to be, and they're never going to, nobody else is asking them, but now we know, now we know. Now we know when they say that the Constitution needs to be changed, now we know. Now we know exactly what they're, by the way, four years, we started this years ago on it, quite trying to hide what you really want. And now we're here. Now we're here. You and I have been saying this for the longest time. Why are you trying to, you know, going back to Obama or whatever it was?
They were radical. We knew they were radical. And they get into, you know, media interviews or election time debates or whatever it might be. Testifying on Capitol Hill. And they can't own all of their radical ideas. They can't promote them. Now they're doing it.
Here we are.
Spend your ad money promoting this. Let's go. Let's go. Let's have this debate about what this country is all about and what it's founded on.
Let's, because, you know, I talked about, I said, well, form militia. Well, regulated militia really is the term, but well informed of public is what we need. And we have too many willfully ignorant people out there. This is a great opportunity to separate communism from liberty. Yeah, because when you look at it, you know, the government ownership of major corporations, get rid of the Senate, get rid of the electoral college and think about it.
“Because I always focus on, you take one of the most liberal states out there. And I think arguably you could say Massachusetts is one of the most liberal states.”
Yeah, yeah, they would lose any power that they have in Congress. Oh, yeah. Right. Well, Bernie state. I mean, it's done. And yeah, and great point. Yeah, Bernie state Vermont. Right. You would lose any type of influence at all, because everything would be proportioned by the population.
Right. So you'd lose your two senators. You'd lose one half of the power that you have in the bicameral legislature. Yep.
We are right. I radio, brought to you by hot shot secret. Hi. I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller. Once a roadside inspection is completed, the officer will close it out. If violations were discovered, most officers as a courtesy will explain the violations to the driver. If there were any out of service violations, the officer will normally explain what must be done to get the out of service order lifted.
“There's need to be very attentive during this part of the inspection. The driver also needs to read and understand the complete inspection report.”
The driver has 24 hours to get the roadside inspection report to the motor carrier.
If the driver will not be returning to a company facility within the next 24 hours, the driver needs to know to get it on the way to you via email mail or facts within 24 hours.

I know that if somebody's independent or lean left or whatever, they probably would listen to us at times and say, "Well, that's just over the top rhetoric about the Democrats."
We're not making an allegation. We're observing what they're saying. We're observing their platform and you look at the Democrat Socialist of America, which is the momentum of where the Democratic Party is going.
“They wish to shred the Constitution of the United States and the most important parts of the Constitution of the United States.”
That's not over the top rhetoric. It's what they have said in their own words. This is what they're putting out there openly now and promoting and I hope they promote the daylights out of it. Let's go. This can be shredded all day long. What this would actually mean for this country? Well, it wouldn't be this country anymore. No. Now you'd have to go through a lot of constitutional, uh, you know, the Constitutional Amendment process. Now you're bringing in reality now. And that's going to be a tough thing to do. Even in the Senate, for example, let's say they start with the Senate.
Let's say they say, "Okay, let's do a Constitution amendment to get rid of the Senate." What do you do in Vermont, Massachusetts? Right. Does Vermont, Massachusetts when it comes down to it? The Liberals are, say, "Yes, let's give up our major representation for the things that we care about in the federal government." I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem. I'm sure. [Music] Perfect.

Observing and analyzing the insanity, Eric Carly and Gary McNamara, likely on Red Eye Radio.
And he is certainly on Gary McNamara. Welcome in good morning. Download our Red Eye Radio app today and you can listen when and where you choose. So when I know that when I look at the platform from the Democrat Socialist of America, which is where the Democratic Party is going. Look, these ideas that they propose already, you have seen no pushback when anybody in the Democrat side says we need to get rid of the Senate and the electoral college.
“You don't hear anything. But the first thing that I would think of, if I live in a small state, first I'd ask the question, why does the Senate exist?”
Yeah, yeah. It's a big question. Why do we have two sections of the bicameral legislature? Why do we have a house? Why do we have a Senate? We have a Senate. So every geographical area which is every state bigger small in one part of the legislative branch has a little bit more clouds so they feel represented.
Because we know and the founding fathers knew that one of the reasons we had a revolution was because they felt like they weren't being represented.
Right. And so in order to stop a civil war, which they knew about because what did they do? They created a civil war. Yeah, they understood that a Senate should exist. But what I find really interesting, this is when we talked about this article that was out a couple of weeks ago that was talking about the fact of, you know, do Democrats think differently from us or do they just not think?
“Because the first thing if I'm a Democrat, if I'm a Democrat in Vermont and Bernie Sanders is out there saying, we need to get rid of the Senate.”
First off, I say, well, you know, that means you're going to be gone. You know, you'll be unemployed, but doesn't that mean that Vermont has less representation to influence the federal government than we currently have now. And Massachusetts, as liberal as they are, the same thing. Yeah. And you would think that the smaller liberal states would go, no, we can't do this. You can't. We can't lose representation for the state. But then you see Virginia, where Virginia just says we're going to join the compact, which, by the way, is going to be found in constitutional.
It's the fact that they're proceeding with it. And Democrat voters aren't saying, are you out of your mind? What you're saying is we, that our vote doesn't count. We're going to do with the majority that isn't part of our state and doesn't have our concerns. We're going to go with what other states think. What? Yeah. I mean, is there any thinking of Democrats at all in this? Or do they just go, no, no, the election should be judged on vote total and that's all no matter what. I don't want to think anything else. I don't want to. Don't tell me about the Senate. Don't tell me about representation. Don't tell me about why it existed. We don't care.
“We don't care about the electoral college. We don't want to get into the, look, can I just click like on Facebook and be done?”
That's where we are. Because it's the willfully ignorant. It's not just willfully ignorant. I mean, that's the basis of it. But beyond that, it is somebody else do something for me. You know, somebody else do whatever it is. I'm supposed to be responsible for. Well, think about this. The Democrat voter in Virginia is screaming. The Republicans are trying to disenfranchise voters. And the state of Virginia has said, no, we're going to self.
We're going to self disenfranchise ourselves. Right. No, this is, I mean, it's, you know, it's mind boggling. When, when I go vote on election day, you know, they give you the sticker.
I always take the sticker because my daughter lives with love stickers. Right. She puts them everywhere. Now on those, she doesn't, she doesn't display them because, you know, she didn't vote.
So, but if, what I end up doing usually, as I put them, you know, I stick the...
And that way, everybody knows they voted for Trump.
“No, I, when I, my original point, sorry, what, is that it's, it's kind of like taking care of things around the house, right?”
Taking care of my responsibilities. It is my duty. It is my responsibility. I, I love having that responsibility. I take it very seriously. There are people that are quite the opposite. Oh, it's election day.
Well, I hope, I hope all the people that vote vote for the person I like. That way, that person wins. I mean, they don't, it's, it's not, I don't even think I can classify it as being lazy.
I mean, you might, technically, it is just, it's the, willful ignorance mixed with just enough laziness to say, ah, everything will be fine. I don't have to participate. I don't, by the way, all of this is coming from the side that is pointing at Trump saying, he is a threat to democracy. They're, they're, they're entire, essentially, constitution, dismantles the our constitution, you know. And he's the threat to democracy. Well, it's like, I just saw, I didn't even read it. It was the, the headline, comic goes after Nate Bargazzi for going to the fascist fight, and we're like, if you're the party that the majority endorses an actual Nazi communist.
“Right? And we say Nazi communist because that's really sort of unique in history because it's, it's like, okay, do I want to be Hitler or do I want to be Stalin?”
I mean, there's this great debate going on, you know, in Platinum's mind, but they've actually got a Nazi.
Yes. It's amazing. I mean, it is, every time we've done this over and over again, you know, when they say something, then, you know, you have to look at and say, oh wait a minute, this is what they're thinking of what they're doing. I think the, the whole Russian collusion hoax was a perfect example. They were the ones actually working with a Russian national. Iggy Dan Chanko to, to, to make the, to, to, to be the basis of the entire blossoming of that thing.
“Because the dossier was it. That's what changed on the, the, the secret warrant.”
That's the element that was added where the, where the secret courts actually approved the warrant on Carter page. It's, it's mind boggling, but, but we're going down rabbit holes with most people, because they don't pay attention, we're at the point of, hey listen, come on, we'll just join the group with other states and however the group votes, that's where we're going. You know, it's interesting this past week, and I just, when, when I was traveling and I met a bunch of different people, and I have to say unless you get involved in it.
I really do believe, I, well, I really do believe that there's a great possibility that everybody has turned off everything unless you're in the political arena or you're really interested in politics. You know, it's weird. I, because I, I just noticed over, I just noticed over the weekend, there's some conversations, nobody's talking politics. Nobody's even talking Trump, nobody's talking anything unless you're in that arena of ideas or social media or you've always actively been doing it. It's like regular people just aren't having that discussion or ignoring it because they just don't want to be involved in it because it's so tribal.
Well, it, of all the things that can can redirect a conversation, a national conversation here lately, who would have thought soccer would be. But no, I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right. Well, you made that, but the case maybe it's just a temporary thing because it's soccer. Maybe because the world comes here. Maybe. But, but, you know, it, it, I think people are, are really getting fatigued on, you know, the whole, no kings rallies, the no oligarchs tour, the no blah, blah, blah, that the, you know, all of this, which goes nowhere, it goes nowhere.
It does nothing. It moves zero needles and we point out the flaws on, for these radicals.
And, and we're very unafraid when it comes to criticizing the GOP, the, the s...
I'll, I'll make this point. Every single person that I personally know that supports Trump.
And has been active on social media for the last 10 years supporting Trump completely quiet about Iran every single one of them. Yeah, no, it's quick. And I'm talking about maybe 10 to 15 different people that I know. Yeah. Yeah, no, same thing here. Yeah, anecdotally. But, but seriously, yeah, it's when, when you, when you know, you're going to hear something like you're going to see it somewhere, right, and a thread, you're going to see it.
“And it's nowhere right now. Yeah. And the reason is, is because the massive ball of confusion, it's, that's what this whole thing is.”
And then with all the stuff that came out yesterday, we'll get to that. Oh, my gosh.
It's, it, it stifles the conversation because where do you go? Here, we, we're in a nation where people love to declare what they believe it, right?
They often commit an invest fully. And sometimes, in fact, quite often, they jump on board and, and the tribalism thing. And look, I want to be with a group that's winning or whatever, or the dominant group or whatever it is. And or political idolatry towards a person. Exactly. Yes. And which, which can also be tribal, but yes. Yeah. And it's, when, when you fully commit, you know, I go back to CNN. CNN was selling Obama paraphernalia. I remember this. I mean, what, what the hell, you know, and, you know, that's the thing.
If, when you look at that, when you look at that kind of, you know, that kind of tribalism, that kind of idolatry, this is, this is the stuff where when you're fully committed. And then you've built, you know, all of your social media pages and posts around that. And then you get burned. It's like, wow, it's, it's a pretty deep cut when you get burned on something. I, I have to focus on the ideas. The people come and go and we've said this from the beginning. The people come and go. I voted for Trump three times. I want him to be president. I want him to be successful. My definition of successful is defeating Iran completely and fully, where the regime is gone.
And we have all of their uranium and what happens from there would be up to the Iranian people. I want the economy to do better.
“I believe the tariffs that have been all over the place.”
Tariffs can work in certain situations, but they've been all over the place for any and every reason. Have to be straightened out so that the economy can do its thing. The government has to get out of the way and let capitalism, which is a very important part of liberty, because it gives people greater freedom when we expand the economy. Let capitalism work the way it should. And sometimes yes, that means failure of companies, which is, in fact, required if you're going to get to a true expansion of the economy.
And look, I understand when somebody votes for the first time and they find some politician out there. And again, they don't know much about history and they jump on.
This person has new ideas and fresh. I know they don't. Everything's been done on both sides. We know what works. We know it doesn't work. That's why you've got a couple of articles out there about, you know, great Britain. Okay, we've had enough South America. The country's now going more right because they went left. It doesn't work. Leftist economics doesn't work. Cansy economics doesn't work. Governor ownership of companies doesn't work. It can't compete against capitalism, free markets in can.
Don't use the word capitalism because people have a negative connotation. Well, then there are more ons if they have a negative connotation of it.
“Exactly. Remember that was a couple of years ago. Yeah, it's the advice to Republicans.”
Save free markets. Don't say capitalism. It has a bad shot. Right. We are Red High Radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Hartley. It's Red High Radio.
We're Red High Radio.
So, yeah, I just wanted to at least bring that up yesterday because it's so important to know.
You know, we get so involved with the everyday current event things that we'll be covering this.
“We always do during every show, but I think it's important to look at and say,”
Okay, the Democrat Socialists of America, which are the McDonald's, the AOC's, the Bernie Sanders, the Platters, you know, and a bunch of other Democrats, even if they're not a part of the DSA, they're not going to challenge them. Democrats were afraid to challenge them and Democrats still vote for them. And that's a huge problem when they're talking about just shredding the constitution,
including the separation of powers. Very important to understand where one of the major political parties in the United States is heading and how radical their platform is.

Now, it's Red High 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 High Radio. All across America, we are when I radio. He is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara.
Welcome and good morning. Come on, you gotta tell, you gotta see the email that we got. You got a nice one? No, no, no, the nice one but then the question. Oh, okay. All right, hold on. He just got to because it's just I just thought it was too good not to, you know, not not to hit, because we both have been talking about our fathers. Yeah. And if I just.
Yeah, I just back to it. Hold on, I wasn't. I know, I just, I thought about it now as we just. So we got a listener who wrote, started here about your father. Isn't it sad to see what the healthcare costs or as a conservative do you allow Medicaid to pay for his care? Now he wrote this to me and did not see see you on this. Yes.
Well, and both of our fathers are dealing with ailments. I mentioned my father's battling a blood cancer and your father dealing with ailments as well. And it's been in the hospital is still in the hospital. So to answer for myself in the case of my father, my father does not have Medicaid. Well, that's the cluelessness of it.
Yeah. He's confusing Medicaid with something else. I think he's confusing it with an Medicare.
“He must be him. I've no idea where that's why it's almost as if it's a shot or something.”
And a care is a true entitlement because my father, like. Yeah, all seniors who qualify for Medicare paid into the system as they worked during their careers for a number of years. And they get that as a true entitlement. They're actually entitled because they paid for it for me. For my father, it's VA and.
Yes, and Medicare Advantage. I'm assuming it's Medicare Advantage. No, I'm saying with my debt. So VA and Medicare, which is going to the private sector again. So my dad gets a he gets as a retired Air Force.
I forget what it's called. I'm sorry, I just blanked on it. I know what it is, but he gets that medical care for life. I don't know how much Medicare the debt and I actually don't talk about. I know mom and dad both have Medicare.
But they have the benefit of what the Air Force provides, which is. That for his retirement because he served for so many years and then in the private sector, you know, he paid in.
After that, he had a second career and then paid into the Medicare system.
He does have Medicare.
I don't know who pays what and he also gets VA benefits.
Yeah, serving in two four months. My father gets the VA benefits. Medicare and he's a disabled vet. Yes, he's disabled veterans you know that that's where he gets a problem to the good, but I It's almost as if the guy was trying to throw a shot. Yeah, oh, so you're good. Yeah, there's sick, but you're collecting up men
He will allow Medicaid to pay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Medicaid to pay no I don't know this thing. Well, they don't collect my my father would have to make that decision. My my father, you know is is a widowed so you can say a a a single man, but he
He has been employed for a significant period of his life. Yes, he's now I know you may be upset that dad isn't working in it 100 Yeah, you know what he needs to get back to work. Well, I don't call your dad right now. Gary and tell him to do the job now
“Anyway, but that was the part that gets the way it was right. Do you as a conservative? Do you allow Medicaid?”
Okay, sorry, but Medicaid is a different benefit, but that's the ignorance of somebody who's again their politics is right or whatever they're trying to do they feel like it's going to to all right, I'll get them. I'll get these guys here. I'll get them. I'm upset
And I'm certainly met Medicare because I you know my father and mom don't qualify for Medicaid, but
so I'm sure he met Medicare and Medicare is a true entitlement. You know, this is the thing we have to do all the time. It's there there is a lot of and then maybe it was just a maybe it was just a typo. I don't know or the person doesn't know the difference between Medicaid and Medicare. I don't know but there are a lot of people out there that confuse them and it does happen. You know, I've heard people in fact in conversations about in in my own family talking and saying, you know what all with the thing
with with Medicaid and oh, no, I'm sorry, Medicare and that happens all the time. Medicaid isn't involved in the case of my father. He doesn't qualify for Medicaid. Medicare, he does qualify for but I'm not sure how much Medicare covers the VA and his right on the tip of my tongue. The benefit they get from the Air Force because he's served for so long in the Air Force. Yeah, I'm not exactly familiar with how it's, you know, my sister would be but I don't know exactly yeah, you know what
“my dad is and they renewed him last year. Remember because he's got to he's got to mention so”
but no my my my father is my father is not the since he's a his widow. My father is not a single male not working on Medicaid. So, right. Yeah, try care. Try care is what dad has for the Air Force. I don't know what what pays who I know the VA is giving some assistance. I don't know, you know, again, both your father and my father both burned that. For example, the the the the the the bed that my father's in at at his house when he's back at the house.
That's an expensive bed, you know, there's an air pump and in fact, what I what I got for them because, you know, it's to keep, you know, bed source from from hitting. Right. And they're actually very interesting beds how it's made how the mattresses move like every couple of minutes. Right. In certain ways. And so I actually got a back a battery. I bought a back a battery last year. In case the power goes out. Yeah. That, you know, we'll last him, you know, a you know, a day.
But it uses quite a bit of power. Yeah. It's it's about it's constantly not when it goes into the cycle. Well, it uses consistently about 125 watts. Right. Yeah. And it'll go up to 170 for like about 30 seconds. Every, you know, every 15, 20 minutes. So the battery, I got one of the lithium ion batteries, you know, you know, for that. And let me also address the Medicaid thing as a conservative.
“Boo, helping people who need it. Um, here's the thing. I, this has come from me. This is Eric talking.”
So so again, just in case there's any confusion. I, Eric Harley hereby state that, um, I,
We as a society have decided.
or mentally cannot provide for themselves. I have an adult, special needs daughter. We adopted her
years ago. She's an adult. She's an angel. Um, she helps me more than I help her. Trust me on that. And she's, I mean, we're just close pals. She's father's day was so great. It was just so great with her. I didn't get to see all my kids on father's day. Um, but we're planning something coming up. But it, it, it, we, I look at a system and believe in a system and we've decided designation and I'm okay with that as a conservative libertarian that, again, for those who cannot
mentally or physically provide for themselves, I'm okay with them getting Medicaid. The answer would be
yes. I mean, it doesn't apply to my father because he doesn't qualify for Medicaid. My daughter
does now. We pay for her medical care. Uh, she had to qualify for it for the before the age of 21 because if something happens to me in my wife, let's say there's nobody there to care for her. She is not able to live on her own and certainly would need some medical care, but she cannot provide for herself. Uh, so that's something she needs 24 hour, um, management. Um, my wife takes the evening shift and I take the day shift and that's the way that works. And so yes,
“I believe in a system. And that has, and I'm okay with the system. That is decided that we can”
let provide for those who can't mentally or physically provide for themselves. But I understand
that Medicare is different than, then, as we don't know, the, the, he would set up is, is, is different, medicine. Medicaid is a joint, it's joint federal and state program. Right. It's run by individual states, the majority of the money still comes from the federal government, which, uh, in the future, may have to change that, because of, of, of, of debt, but individual states actually run the Medicaid program, which is why there are some states that use a lot less federal dollars for Medicaid and a
lot of other states where the Medicaid bill for example, New York State is through the roof. Right. Uh, and, and so do there need to be fixes in it. Yes. Uh, but I just wanted to address that because it was actually, and nothing to do with Medicaid or Medicare, it's that I, I sense the guy was trying to take a shot at us. Yeah. But by using our plans, we allow Medicaid. Well, you know, and again, if that's not the case, fair enough. But if, but the way it was worded, it should be like it.
“Yeah. And that's what I got. I thought it was more of a person, anything else. No, it really was.”
And, and we're okay with that. I mean, I don't, I don't mind that at all, uh, because it gives us an opportunity to talk about, you know, our beliefs and, and the system and, uh, are this, there's their abuse. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, you know, the, one of the fraud cases that came about, uh, with, uh, Medicare, just recently, I mean, billions of dollars. Of course, there's fraud in every system where the government manages it. There's fraud in the private sector. There's fraud all around, which is why we believe
in checks and balances. I believe in the simple idea, like having to show your ID when you go vote. These are things that, uh, have been, uh, a, a fundamental part of our society, where at some point we decided, wait a minute, there are people there. Right. That can't provide for themselves, uh, and, and do qualify for Medicaid. Um, and we should provide for them, uh, uh, on a limited basis and trust me, Medicaid is limited. But, uh, you know, I, uh,
right, I radio, we take official positions that were, uh, anti-murder and anti- fraud. That's right. Yes. And anti-murder, okay. Who helping people? No, we, no, no. Um, but, you know, it's because
“people think I think a lot of people tend to get into their mind that they're not a conservative”
and they've been on the left all of their lives and, you know, that's the culture they live in. I believe you have a moral obligation as an individual, uh, out of your own pocket and on your own time to give back any chance that you can to the extent you can and that's a practice that I've,
I've kept going sometimes.
why we're here. I said that about 15, 20 years ago. Yeah. And people call me up and disagree with me. They have no responsibility to help anybody at any time. And I said, well, you can go through that life with the philosophy. That's not how I was raised. It was interesting. I had a conversation with the woman over the weekend. Uh, and, and I, I would say probably a Democrat, but truly more moderate and was willing to listen. And I was, we were, we were, we were talking about the medical
profession out there and we were talking about homeless and I told her about the charity that I'm most involved with. You know, the, the one that actually takes, you know, people that are off the street. Right. Uh, privately run that, that, that, you know, they've got the food bank and everything else.
“And you can get a meal, but if you want to stay there and you've got to go through their plan.”
And their plan will rehabilitate you, you know, if you file the plan, you'll become self-sufficient. Yeah. And every year I go to the luncheon where you meet these people and there's no greater joy I was telling her there's no greater joy. I could not spend my money in a better way. Right. Right. Then there, there is nothing that gives me more happiness. Nothing material would give me, you know, as much happiness as that. And she goes, well, it's good to see that, you know,
that somebody who's a conservative, thinks that way. Like, oh, God. Well, it's, it's like the, you know, like, a custom passionate and service. Right. Well, I told her about that. She wasn't finished. She really wasn't being insulting. Right. And, and when I think about it, maybe I should have taken it that way and she goes, she goes, it's great. And I said, well, I said, my father was living when, you know, W said compassionate, conservative.
“Yeah. As he said conservative is compassionate. Right. And that's what his thought process,”
all the time. And my father was the one that, you know, that, that I saw when I was a child.
And I knew we weren't rich. My father was always taking food and making sure that the
homeless shelter, you know, you know, the people that ran it that, you know, he was involved in contributing, you know, there, even though we were not a rich family at all. Right. How he was, that's, that's what his fate taught him. That's what his family taught him. And my father is just somebody that anybody who needed, my father would not give money to an addict. Right. You can't get, you would never be able to get him on the street. He'd say, come on,
I'm on a get something eat. Right. Yeah. But he wouldn't, you know, it's like, I'm not going to enable their, their, you know, their, their habit. But my father's whole life was in service to other people.
“His family, his friends and everything. I mean, that was just, who he, who he was. And anybody”
who knows him will tell you that. Not, not from breaks my heart more than because we live in a major metro area that that has a great deal of homeless people on the street. Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing somebody in that position. They're a drug addict. They're battling something. They can't win or haven't been able to win so far. And nothing breaks my heart more. I don't have any answers there. But I'm with you. I support organizations that support them
because enabling them by giving them money is, is never, but you know, you know, the story,
I told you, I'm not going to, I'm just, I'm not going to get many details on it because it is sort of a private and personal thing. But somebody who I knew a long time ago is in that situation. Yeah. I had to make the decision. Through, you know, the, the case workers and stuff like that, the people that know, yeah, you know, not to enable them. Right. When they came to me to enable them. Yeah. It was like, no. Yep. Not going to do it. And that's a tough decision. It's really tough.
You feel so, you feel so bad, but you realize they're manipulating me. Yep. You can't keep them where they are. We are right. I radio.

All right, so yesterday on Iran, the Vice President talking about, well let me just read here.
I read this first off from Iran yesterday because
it was the President came out and talked about the oil money opening up and said that Iran is going to purchase agricultural goods and farmers are just thrilled about it. Iran says they're not planning to purchase
US agricultural goods and there were no discussion yesterday regarding IAEA inspectors coming to Iran ignore Western propaganda. That comes from the Iranian ex-site. And it was interesting because somebody posted yesterday
That, you know, after the United States
said what we were being told in the memorandum of understanding was not there to in regards to what Iran was saying was in the memorandum of understanding. By the time we looked at it,
“what Iran was saying was actually accurate”
what the United States was saying was not. So we're now at a point. You know where I'm going. Yeah. Yeah.
We're now at a point because of that where you say can we trust the administration to tell the people of the United States the truth? Well, the first red flag on that was after it had been rubble signed
and we still didn't have the text on it. Why not? Why would you not that night? Yeah. Post it and say,
probably because, hey, it was a signed deal. Here's what's in it. It told me they had to find a way to work this into some kind of spin.
I don't know what that spin they thought would work. Put it out there for the American people if our country's making a deal with Iran, we damn well deserved to see everything that's in it.
Wall Street Journal. Jady Vance has Iranian leaders want to turn over a new leaf with the U.S. and suggest we do the same with them. It's worth checking Iran's actions.
“How is the memorandum of understanding going so far?”
The straight of Hormuz traffic is flowing, sending the price of oil below $80.
Iran has already sent some 3 billion
and crude oil through Hormuz for export and the regime's declaration called it a threat of a closed straight on Saturday shifted traffic to the Iranian controlled transit route other vessels went dark while crossing
as they did before the deal. Iran has instructed all vessels transiting Hormuz to request access 48 hours in advance and acquire Iranian insurance with the fee wave for now.
Amidna go, boy, that's a mob thing. My gosh, protection money. With the fee wave for now, and mid-negotiations, the regime seems to be preparing
for the straight's transformation into a Iranian waterway. The mandatory insurance 'cause easily become a toll 60 days from now,
“even under the memorandum of understanding terms”
and the request for access compromises freedom of navigation, permission could be denied on a ship by ship or country by country basis to suit Iranian foreign policy.
This is not an open straight. Sanctions on Monday, the U.S. Treasury is your broad sanctions relief for Iran's oil business for 60 days, a license lets the regime
produce ship and sell its oil and petrochemicals and receive all the revenue rather than having it kept abroad in escrow. This will gut accumulated U.S. sanctions leverage, especially if the license is extended
as Mr. Trump will have difficulty refusing before the U.S. elections. The license allows anyone even sanctioned conduits
for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
to be paid in U.S. dollars. Only last week, the State Department reported Iran's oil and petroleum exports are a primary source of revenue for its armed forces, terrorist partners
and proxies, billions of dollars will now go directly to the IRGC to rebuild the regime's foreign reserves. Iran says some of its frozen assets have also been released
and this may be six billion head held in Qatar when released. The money can be used only to buy food medicine and the like. Mr. Van said that this frees up
other funds for military purposes. On Monday, Mr. Van said Iran has agreed to allow UN inspectors while we waited details to judge the move significance, which nuclear sites
when inspections on demand or staged collecting samples are not. Iran's State media has said no. This is false as did not happen.
Inspections are essential,
but the U.S. seems to be paying Iran now for what it is already obligated by the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. On Lebanon, Mr. Van's and President Trump are pressuring Israel not to respond
to attacks by Iran's proxy Hezbollah and on Sunday, mediators announced a deconfliction mechanism that excludes Israel, but includes Iran. This is an abrupt reversal of U.S. policy.
If Israel won't concede an Iranian right to export terror to a sovereign third country will Iran close the straight,
Will it expel inspectors?
Iran's regime now has a way
to set the U.S. and Israel against each other.
“We don't have to give the Iranians anything”
if they don't make the commitments that we want long term on a nuclear program, Mr. Van said while selling the memory of understanding even a few days in before Iran has made any long-term nuclear commitments
that have proof false. We, excuse me, Mr. Van said while selling the MOU, even a few days in before Iran has made long-term nuclear commitments, that has proof false. When we warned of a bailout for the regime,
this is what we had in mind. And that's exactly what's going on. They're not doing anything. They haven't opened the straight of where MOUs like it was beforehand.
They're setting conditions now and they're getting oil money. They're getting cash now from the administration. Yeah, U.S. dollars.
U.S. dollars. Yep, they can buy you. They can even buy U.S. oil and get U.S. dollars. Yeah.
And all the money that they get now from selling oil with the sanctions. There are no conditions on that. Yesterday, I read, I don't know how many versions of this
from different media groups. And the only question that in my mind was what the hell just happened? What in the world am I missing here?
“And the thing is, I don't think I'm missing anything.”
What happened? It may only last 60 days. Well, he's not going to cancel it. But the U.S. treasuries waiver is effectively rolling back a 40-year plus
of American oil sanctions against Iran, even U.S. refiners are allowed to import Iranian oil. Excuse me, not export import Iranian oil and I said export before.
Import Iranian oil and pay for it in U.S. dollars that will go to Iran that they can spend any way they want. The president said, "Well, it's all going to be for farm." I don't know that.
No idea. That's not a deal that we set with the United States. No. So I mean, look, nothing surprises me here at all. Nothing.
By the way, did you see anything? I mean, I know the, oh, the guardian angel tax or whatever. I saw that. Did you see the word tariff in any of those? Statements than any of those stories?
They're guardian angel tax. No, no. For the straight to poor moves. I know they were talking about that the other day. Oh, no, no.
The president was saying the forend doesn't shape up. Yeah. That we're just going to take over the straight to poor moves. Yeah. And then charge a 20-garden Amy tax.
I know. I know.
“But what I'm saying is that's the only thing I've heard close to the word tariff.”
We're tariffing everybody else. Are we tariffing Iran? I didn't see anything. Maybe he's going to announce it tomorrow. I don't know what just happened.
No. None of it makes sense at all. You know, you look at. I feel like I just woke up. Drank heavily last night.
Just woke up. And there's like 200 boxes from Amazon on my porch. Like, huh? I don't remember any of this.
This should have never happened.
No. And I don't drink. Maybe I should start again. And as we know, Iran, I heard 3000 people they've arrested. And now they're accelerating their execution of political dissidents.
Yeah. Yeah. That came out. That story came out yesterday. I'm sure you're here by the New York.
Bad feelings all around after the Iran deal. Yeah, because it sucks. Yeah. It's horrible. Absolutely sucks.
This is horrible. I mean, it's, it is interesting. Because if you, we did say a couple of weeks ago. We said, look, Trump's going to, we, we believe the number one way he would go would be this way. I had no idea.
I had never in my wildest dreams.
Because they kept an eye. They're not going to get anything unless they prove they haven't proved a damn thing. And we're given them we're allowing money to flow to the Iranians.
Right.
I mean, that's the only thing they proven to me.
“That is that they have the upper hand here.”
But that's the same. The president and JD Vance have continually promoted falsehoods to the American people. And then gone in done things that would have absolutely sent the Republican party into outrage. If Obama ever did it. Yeah.
And when Obama did it. Yeah. No, I, it, for me, unbelievable. I, it just takes all the air out for me. It really does.
Yeah. I agree.
It depletes confidence in a way that I can't measure.
You don't even hear here. 14th dimensional chess.
“You have to understand the art of the deal.”
That's all gone. You don't have anybody. I didn't, I haven't seen that in a week. No. No.
No. Totally loyal cheerleader surrogate of the White House isn't even doing that. No. This is horrible. I saw that.
Is there no, is there no self-awareness in the White House? I got the split in the party over this. How? How is there not? Marco Rubio making a trip.
And the story was on it. And the picture they use now. They do this. They got a serious look on his face.
Which almost always does.
But there was no statement from him. There was no quote from him. Just a story about he's going to be traveling. He's a part of, you know, sitting down with someone. So no statement at all from him.
We are right. I'm getting much with what I radio told free at 866. Might be right I. We are running radio away. He is a curly.
And I'm Gary McNamara. So this is really getting, this is getting interesting. I mean, nothing over the last since they signed the memorandum of understanding. Nothing has surprised me.
“It's the only way that it could go every single day.”
It's like, it's been like this for a while. We claim victory. And Iran says, no, we didn't agree to that. Yeah. And it's like, yeah.
Thanks to the listener sent us a Victor Davis Hanson comments that he made. None of what he says addresses the criticism we have of it. Somebody was sending that to us as if it addresses our criticism. It does not. No.
So no, but we do appreciate it. This is Ridae Radio. On Westwood One.
