With these young children, I can't wait for them.

Really? I can't wait for my story, total.

Stoyer? How do you like it? The Stoyer is really young?

Yes, I have a lot of things to do with 1000 euros. Do you have any connections? No, just like Stoyer. Wow! And that's just... Of course, the taste is almost all automatic.

Suddenly, I feel like I'm so exciting. Hold your money, Ty from a Span, with like Stoyer. 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. I'm Gary McNamara, Eric has the morning off. Hey, look, everybody calm down, just calm down. This quote, football, end of quote will soon be over and real football that doesn't need quotes will be coming here in the next couple of weeks.

All right? So everything will be back to normal. That's the other thing on social media. People argue sports. It's like arguing music. You can sit there and say, Taylor Swift sucks, right? It's not going to stop anybody who likes Taylor Swift from Mike and Taylor Swift. It's just not. People like what they like. To argue, I just love the arguing on social media that's completely meaningless,

and people become so emotionally involved in it. So, soccer sucks because, and for bother, look, we all know why we love football because

it's the planning. It's the huddle. That's the excitement. What are they going to do now?

What's the defense? Yeah.

So, soccer is okay. As I told you, I watched the first, I guess the next game against Turkey

that they now spell in a different way. See that? Is tonight. It's a late game. Excuse me. A late match. But I watched the first game and I got a great surround sound system and it was adjusting the back speakers to make sure I got the full stadium experience. It was great because you can hear individuals, you know, and my surround sound system coming from all different

points. And it was quite exciting. I actually had it where the announcers, I had it sold the crowd so loud or, you know, just so adjusted so it hit me from every angle that you couldn't hear the announcers as clear as you could if I adjusted it to the normal surround sound for that. But it was, it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun and the, as I said, I didn't know because I didn't really pay attention to quote, "football" end

of quote. I really don't pay attention to soccer, but I like some of the intricate footwork

and some of the great passes. And at the end of that game, the first game that they

played, I said, "It was against Paraguay." I said, "Are we that good? It was just Paraguay, really suck." It was a total domination by the American squad. But don't worry, football is coming very, very soon. Alright, so I just wanted to mention this because I mentioned the last part of the hour. We didn't talk about it yet. There's been so many other things, but Tucker Carlson renouncing the Republican party. And as I said last hour, I said, it was

just sort of like a blip of the story. It was out there and I'm like, "It's going to be

any type of reaction." And there really wasn't, you know, I think one of the things

that has heard Tucker Carlson number one, some of his controversial opinions, but I think what really hurt him was when he came out and said he was constrained by Fox. He said, "Well, I'm going to have these opinions now." You didn't have them before. But I was constrained by Fox. It's like, "Wow." You just said, "You worked at a job where you weren't 100% honest with your audience." And you voluntarily took that job and you voluntarily agreed to those

terms. And it came out with the whole Scott Pellie thing, too, where really the producers

Are the ones that set the direction where the show is going to be, and someti...

you just become the talking head.

If you don't control your money, it controls the app. You're not in control of your finances,

and you have to look outside of yourself to live the life that you want. You're not in

controller like, "What is it that you actually want?" Money should follow the dreams and goals, because sometimes you make the dream and goal the money, and you've overworked yourself, and you've exceeded what you've needed for the actual thing you want. Sometimes we forget, like, "What's the actual thing you want?" A Ford anything, follow and listen on your favorite platform. But when Tucker Carlson said that, especially when you're in this media,

and 89, I got into talk radio. So October will be, did 89? Yeah, October will be what? 37 years? Whatever it is. It's a long time. And only once that I have one general manager, just once, tell me he didn't like my opinion on something.

And I went in and basically said, "Well, then fire me." You're not going to control my opinion

on the air. You hired me for my opinion. And that's really it. One time, and I won the battle, upper management above him, stuck by me, and didn't think that anything I said was radical at all. Because I don't think, Eric, and I've said this all the time, find a radical opinion that we hold. You may disagree with us, and that's fine. Oh, thank you. Whatever listeners said a very nice letter about my father, and then at the end said, "Even though I don't agree with you all the time."

What? Zague Hile! We must have 100% compliance!

Oh, who does? No, it's first thing I, I don't agree with you 100% of the time. Who does?

It's like, of course, we're going to have different opinions. But for us, and I know for me and an Eric, we do this because we have editorial control. There would be no reason for me to do this if I didn't have editorial control. I'm also going to go as in the Buddy Holly movie. When they they talked about the fact, we're going to get to the best producers and everything else. And he said, "I'd rather shovel manure in Lubbock." And that's the same here.

If we don't have editorial control, why bother? Why am I here giving somebody else's opinion?

And that's what Tucker Carlson said. I mean, that was what he communicated.

I let the producers what you heard was not my opinion. It was the producers opinion. Well, then you're just a talking head. And I think to most people that are conservative, you know, that's the one thing that's a no-no. They may disagree with you, but if they feel you're being controlled. And that used to be the, you know, I mean, that's, we don't get that anymore. We used to get that. I can still remember it was so funny.

A guy called and just said, you know, you're just parading the talking points. And Eric and I said, what do you think that every morning that we get, we get emails, telling us what, you know,

not only what we have to talk about, but what our opinion is like at 930, and I remember saying,

like at 930 in the morning, I said, yes. Now say this when I first started doing talk radio,

but it just wasn't, I got it from the newsroom because they were sending it to, they were sending it to the, the news department, but the news department would give it to me. And this is probably going into, because it was 89, I became a talk show host. And so by the time we got to,

Maybe maybe it was 91 92 is when the political parties figured out, let's sen...

let's facts over the talking points of the day. And I remember we would, we would tell you, these are the talking points of the day from the Democrats, these are the talking points of the day from the Republicans. We would actually do that. I would actually do that, but they weren't directing the show, they were talking points out there. And we made clear, you knew, they were talking

points, not here in this show was when my first became a radio talk show in Niagara Falls, New York.

And, but you'd get that, you know, the military and industrial complex tells you what to do,

the, you know, whatever, there had to be a conspiracy. And I think one of the most interesting

things is that as, you know, whether I work for individual owners or corporate owners and I've worked for both in talk radio, they really don't want to, they don't want to really get involved. But you find out, is there a lot of people that really get uncomfortable if their opinion is broadcast? Not like us. You know, when you do this business, you sort of you wish to run into the fire. And by the way, that's the biggest blessing ever because I know a lot of people that God just

want to hear it, I just want to hear it. It's like, how can you stand it? I go, because I love running into the fire. It's as simple as that. I love dissecting it. I can't have a discussion, Eric and I can't have a discussion if we're not willing to listen to what the day's news is, even if we disagree with it. How can we analyze it? And as I get older, it becomes more of a drug. It actually becomes more of an addiction to know what the news is of the day. It's the opposite

that a lot of people that I know actually know that I go, Gary, I don't know how you can do it. I don't know how you interact with it. We just, I just don't want to hear the bad. It's just bad news every day. Bad news every day. It's like, well, but I would be, I'd be a Raven lunatic if I didn't know the information of what was going on out there. And I think I mentioned at the other day, I got into a discussion for a little bit with somebody, and I just told him, I said,

yeah, it's an addiction. In fact, I've been talking here for 10 minutes, and I haven't checked my phone. I don't know how the news has changed. Can it become an obsessive addiction at times? Yes. Do I think it's harmful? No. It might be if I wasn't doing this job.

But no, I, so with that's what I think to me, that's one of the things that hurt Tucker Carlson,

the most. The other thing is, I, and I find it, and this is something that Democrats found out about about conservatives, even Trump voters. And I, and I say Trump voters because some Trump voters are not as conservative as conservative, true conservatives are, but they find out that, wow, they're really open to mind. They, they're not going to yell at you. They want to have the discussion with you, which is healthy. But the one thing they just won't handle. Like

is the fact that they believe that you're basically parenting with somebody else is telling you.

And when you say this is the other thing, too, maybe a little bit conspiratorial, but you can understand this. When Tucker Carlson said he was being constrained, it was mean the powers from above are controlling what he says. Because when you say the producers are being constrained by the people above me, what does that mean? How they being influenced? You know, the whole thing that, you know, when, when you hear it, you see how easy it, it hits a Barry Rice running CBS is because

Trump wanted it. It's like, well, no, that was a couple of weeks ago. It's like, no, Barry Weiss is a liberal who believes in journalism the way that we believe in journalism. And so no, Donald Trump didn't make that decision. Who was it? Oh, was the, oh, the head of cobares, no, Kimmel's network that said when he was suspended, had nothing to do with Trump.

We just, we just thought it was reprehensible, what he said. And I think that story came out yesterday.

See if I can find that here. If I can't find it today, I'll find it for tomorrow show. But yeah, there's really, you know, no blip. I mean, same with Canada, so, and though,

soon as you, and this is where I've always said that the Republican Party,

Not that they can't be tribal, they can latch onto a candidate or a personality.

say, that's one of the reasons we don't advise doing that. You know, if you like somebody like them, you know, their opinion don't become obsessed, you know, that they're a deity or is any more

knowledge than than you have. And there was a passion for Tucker Carlson. Remember everything was

Tucker this, Tucker that, Tucker this, Tucker that, Tucker this, Tucker that, and now it's like Tucker who. But it was based on the things that he said. And the positions he's taken, which the majority of the Republican Party does not agree with. And like I said, I think the most damaging thing for Tucker Carlson is when he said that, you know, that he worked for a network fox that put constraints on him. And it was like, I've done this and I've made a lot less money than

you have. Say, that's a money thing. You could survive in the money that you've made. Don't, didn't you get into this in order to give your opinion? The last thing I'd ever want to do is, oh, yeah, I got in this to give somebody else's opinion. No. So there you go.

We are running over to you! He is our Crony and I'm Gary McNamara coming up on the bottom of the

hour. We've got a great audio cut from the view. And actually the audio cut from the view I'm going to play, it's all about the socialist candidates winning was just to look on joy-based house face. And so it's, yeah, to actually see it, but it's actually a pretty good audio cut. But latest from the earthquakes in Venezuela, President Donald Trump said late Wednesday the

two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela had caused what he described as a devastating number

of deaths as officials continued to assess the extent of the disaster. The Venezuelas interim president later said at least these are the first reports coming in. They're at least 32 people were killed 700 injured just looking at some of the pictures. Some of these buildings you look at it. It's depending on how widespread it is. You just wonder how many deaths are actually being injuries. Trump's comment came after back to back earthquakes rock, then it's the way

earlier Wednesday causing widespread damage, including in the capital of Caracas, where buildings were damaged and rescue crews search through rubble. Like I said, some of the buildings I've seen absolutely just collapse completely. So it depends how widespread it was. You can see one picture. And I don't know if that extrapolates out to the entire urban area where it hit in a true social post.

Trump said a pair of massive earthquakes had caused the widespread damage. Here's what he said to

major earthquakes. This is from through social that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale. And I've left a devastating number of deaths. The USA stands ready, willing and able to help. I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends. Early reports are not good. And according to the US Geological Survey and Initial Magnitude of 7.2 struck at 604 pm eastern time

just 39 seconds later. A 7.5 quake struck high casualties and extensive damage are probable

The disaster is likely widespread.

said the earthquakes were among the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than 100 years. A state of

emergency was called after the earthquakes, which were then followed by the two earthquakes, which were then followed by nearly two dozen aftershocks.

download our red eye radio app today. You can choose to listen when you want. All right, so some audio cuts here. The response, some of the response in the media to the socialist communist Nazis. Yeah, this is the view. All right, listen to the discussion between the the panelist of the view yesterday. [Music]

Mankindy doesn't merge as a kingmaker but at what expense? He just absolutely neutered him Jeffries and Chuck Schumer who have the job of trying to win back the house and send it

for Democrats by endorsing candidates against sitting house members. How did he neuter them exactly?

Because what he's so you're I'm going to get into it. Just let me let me get into it. So you're just talking about these goods and services. You want the police to come. You want the fire to come. But one of your new candidates, a village of Olia, who won last night, wants to abolish the police and all present. She was asked four times. How would you deal with somebody who committed murder then? What is your plan? And she dodged and didn't answer.

She tweeted that Obama's evil Biden is a rapist in a war criminal and belief Kamala Harris. These were not people running on an affordability agenda. These were left wing extremists that were elected last night after the expense of moderate Democrats. So

I see that you guys do need to win if you want to take back the house. I don't like the way she

sounds at all. Well, that's what I'm saying. Well, she's not the party. But she's one person. But that is the point is these these candidates that were of course by DSA, the Democratic Socialist were extreme candidates. And I've seen this happen in my- Does Joy Bay hard do any show prep to see what we do any show prep at all? Like, oh, we didn't know this. You're kidding. What the- what the heck is this? This was really interesting. This is the

second in command of the Democrat Socialist of America in New York City explaining what they're

doing. All right. And how they're using the Democrat party. For candidates run his Democrats on- we're on the Democratic Party ballot line. We contest the primaries. And when they're in the legislature, they're part of the Democratic party caucus. But we don't agree with the way the Democratic Party establishment organizes or runs its party apparatus. And so we try to build independence by

focusing on volunteer lead movement. We think that everyone should be able to be trained and to become someone who can participate in the political process. And we don't really think that Democratic Party campaigns in the establishment are run that way. And I think, you know, you really see that difference in- in the races like we're having tonight. And I think in terms of the agenda, there's a problem in the Democratic Party where they are funded by billionaire donors.

And at the same time, they're trying to represent the working class. And in our opinion,

you have to choose between the billionaire class and the working class. It's just impossible to

satisfy all of them. Oops. Excuse me. That was from TikTok. Wow. It scared the heck out of me. I didn't know that was coming. But yes. So if you wanted to find how the Democrats looked at that, the establishment Democrats, I won't say moderate. As you were talking about on the view, because I don't believe there are any except for maybe federalmen. There really isn't a moderate

Democrat out there. But when, when basically we're going to use the Democratic Party,

they've, they've gone far left enough and have given us have really not attacked the things that we believe and they have moved so far left themselves that we feel that we can use them as a

Conduit, not to propose Democrat philosophy, but Democrat socialist communist...

And we'll caucus with the Democrats when it's useful. But we're going to push our own agenda.

And then we see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle not at home. When you see the way that they're going to be attacking the establishment of the Democratic Party, they don't want any, they don't want any part of it. As I said earlier, I don't believe any of what they believe is none of what they believe is about affordability. It's about power and

control. That's what I would agree with them on. Let's get more here. This is more from the view.

This gets interesting. Here we go. I would say that I just read a fascinating article this morning. It was talking about how one party is outsting anti-Semites and one party is electing them. And I would say that this article raised great points of Yola Chevo, however you say her name. She was at a pro-Palestine rally prompting commost and celebrating the Anoptober 8th of 2023. These people are not afraid to not,

they don't only not denounce, they actually espouse these beliefs that everything Israel does has influenced our world. That's not going to fly in the York City. Well, you know, it is right now. I'm not lying. But it's a pro-Palestinian. No, they were pro-Palestinian. It was, it was, it was probably a, a retreat. The only thing that had happened is that Israel had been attacked and people had been brutally murdered and raped.

And so, at Anoptober 8th, I don't think they're needed to be rallying. I'm calling her an anti-Semite. I'm going to fall below her an anti-Semite. She would proudly call herself that trust me. Dan Goldman, who we just spoke about, was refused coffee at a coffee shop because they said we don't want money from this individual, American human, showing up at a coffee shop because they think it comes from a pack in Israel. When we start normalizing these crazy

red land conspiracy, I'm not, but just listen to who I'm talking about. He was refused coffee over someone say and allies. Yes. So one coffee shop is normalizing it. No, no, this was vandalized with anti-Semitic serves. It's a slurs in New York. So one thing I would say the right is doing right right now is the extreme right and the extreme left are meeting about anti-Semitism. They hide under the cloak of criticizing Israel,

which some people who criticize Israel are not anti-Semites. All anti-Semites criticize Israel

and use it as cover. As you always say, a racist doesn't say, "Hey, I'm a racist." They also don't

say, "Hey, I'm an anti-Semite," and they're all of that does not bring down the cost of bread,

which is what people are about. What people are about over here is, though, that's what the,

that's the mistake the Democrats are making, affordability and the separation between the haves and have not. That is fair. All Americans want to be able to afford groceries and health care and have good education and all those things. That is not what these people are running on. These same Democrats. So there you go. Choi Beihar doesn't want to hear any of it. But what about affordability, what about,

well, does she agree then? Is Joy Beihar agreeing that if it's affordability in those cities that the Democrats in the cities have failed their own constituents? And then she's trying to make the case that there's that only that one coffee owner. You know, as we all know, if you pay attention, you know, anti-Semitism has gone wild since October 7th. And I saw that when she was talking about a Villa, a Villa, Chevrolet,

who, you know, protested on on the seventh. Did you hear her explanation?

Her explanation was, well, we protested Israel because we knew that they would overreact that they're not kidding. That was that was her response to that. And it's just like, you got to be kidding me. But

the reality is, as we know, and you can see it in Europe, you can see it in South America now,

as they're moving away. You can see it. Remember all the talk about how great Sweden was and the Scandinavian countries and socialism. And as we said, what they're not talking about is the middle class pays a heck of a lot more in taxes. And now those countries are moving away from it. It hasn't worked for them. And you've got, if you, we, we brought it up earlier this week and maybe we'll do it again on tomorrow's show. We brought you with the Democrat Socialist of America,

platform is, you know, as we, we played the, the, the one candidate who won the state Senate,

The state Senate primary.

I know there's complaints about the airlines, especially during summer time when people who don't

fly a lot, complain, there was a guy, did I, did I say this on the air, did I can't remember

the air, is a guy where I told Eric off the air, said I was just, because I just, I tease the airlines for something that happened a couple of weeks ago when I flew with them. And I actually wrote afterwards on X. I said, look, I'm not mad at them. I'm just teasing them. I'm nudging them a little bit, because they let the public see too much of how they operate and the public didn't like it.

But I understand the problems that they have. And I just passed a million miles on American since

1998, official, I've been around there earth 40 times. And it's, it's fine, but people, the number of people complaining, like it was a guy who complained that he was supposed to arrive, whatever city was going to, at one o'clock and he had tickets for the four o'clock, world cup.

And the plane was delayed and he didn't make it. He got blasted saying, if you've got something

like that, that that's, if that importance, you go the day before. And for, for example, for me, when I fly, especially during the winter time, if I'm flying into Buffalo, almost all the time, I try to get back on Saturday night. I want to give it a full day. And I've got good status, so I'll probably catch the next available seat, but I just don't want to take the chance. I don't, I don't ever take the flight that's coming in at 9 p.m. and believe I can make it,

you know, here at 12, you don't do that. And when you fly all the time, you learn to buffer. You learn to put that buffer, you know, in there. But when you look at the Democratic Socialist of America and what they're proposing, nationalization of airlines, nationalization, government taking over all major corporations, getting rid of the Senate, getting rid of the electoral college, getting rid and we spent a lot of time in this the other day, because it's so important,

getting rid of the separation of powers, where the executive branch and judicial brands

would be under basically a house of representatives because you would have no Senate.

So you get rid of the separation of powers. So I understand when they say we hate America because they want to change the Constitution completely. There is no more important part of the Constitution than the separation of powers. It's even more important than the Bill of Rights

because if the separation of powers isn't there, that's how you lose the Bill of Rights.

And they have no interest in protecting that part of the Constitution. So when they say they're not patriotic, because we've talked about this, it comes up every year and we've been talking about it for the longest time. If you don't believe in anything of the Constitution, if you don't believe

in the first amendment, if you don't believe in the second amendment, you know, if you don't believe

in the separation of powers, if you don't believe in the Senate, if you don't believe in the electoral college, then why are you an American? Of course you're not going to be proud of America. Of course you're not going to be proud of the history of our accomplishments. And by the way, recognizing the accomplishments of this society and of our Constitution is not forgetting about human evilness that exists in every single society. It's just a recognition

but we're moving forward in the right direction. And we've had a huge influence on the world in doing so. And then when you look at the the DSA, they want to get rid of the police. They want to defund the military company. This is their platform. So we're not making this stuff up. We're relating to you what they're putting out for public consumption. They want you to know that. They're not hiding it. And that's the difference really

to me. The difference between the establishment Democrats and the DSA is I've still believe a majority of the establishment wishes to end up. They have the same end game of the DSA, but they know they can't implement it and they can't talk about it. They just have to slowly evolve into it where the DSA is like, "No way, we want it now." We are right I radio.

We are what I radio.

let's hear from the what we view as the one moderate Democrat out there Senator John Fetterman

of Pennsylvania and what he had to say about the Democratic Socialist of America. But there's

people like Sheffelyer that she just got elected. You know, she wants to abolish ice, police,

the border and prisons, you know, all these outrageous kinds of things. Now, that's not even

on serious. Like, how can people just ignore these kinds of things and how they want to send someone

here to Congress that wants to abolish prisons and how would wipe her mouth on the American flag?

Now, Fetterman, the discussion we were talking about on the view for example, Joy Bay, Howard, what be trying to make the case? That, well, these are just New York City, whatever.

Remember, Fetterman would be viewed as a moderate Democrat 10 years ago.

All right, right. He supports the things that Democrats have supported in the past. Right now, in Pennsylvania, the latest poll. He has a 22% favorability rating among Democrats. It shows you it's just not the New York City Democrat Socialist of America. It's across the board. This is RIDI Radio. On Westwood One.
