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 the USA. We are Red Eye Radio.

He is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara.

Welcome and good morning. - Hi. - Hi. - Hi, hello. - Hello. - Hello, I think that was all me. - Yeah, that was me. - I can't blame producer Ron on that.

- Yeah. - I'll try to do that later, but right now I got to blame me. - It's the big red button that you push. - Yeah, it's, it, which confuses me because green means go. Red means stop.

42 years ago, I still don't have it right. Wow, wow. What do we get? - And I'm thinking of the Alien movie.

“- Yeah. - Well, was it with the Jeff, what's his name?”

Jeff Goblin? - No. (laughing) He was in a, he was in a independent state. - Not on the, the other one where he comes down to a starman. - Starman, they're gonna starman.

- Jeff Bridges. - Jeff Bridges, yes. We're, she, we're, he went flying through. She thought the red light, what are you doing? I showed you how to drive, he goes, no, I paid attention. Red means stop, green means go, yellow means go very fair.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Go faster. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's funny because I just said that to somebody the other day. I was my, it was my grandson, one of my grandsons, was in the truck with me, let's like a yellow.

And it's like, Peppa, yellow means yield in slow down. And I said, no, I mean, it's go faster. (laughing) But you said, Jeff Goldblum, I went, - Yeah, he is an alien, isn't it?

- Yeah, well, he was in an alien movie. - And he was in a dinosaur movie. - Yes, he was. - Might there be dinosaurs on this dinosaur tour. - Well, the great lions ever Jurassic Park. But yeah, so yeah, we can, yeah, it was very eventful.

I went to Shellwater, tell us super rigs, for the 26th time as a judge. It was a great turnout. We had a really awesome turnout from the trucking community. It's about working trucks, of these trucks, not only deliver freight, they also look great.

And so many encouraging stories and that's the great thing. We actually, we actually get as judges time to spend

with the drivers telling us basically your entire story.

And there was a great story about, in fact, we saw this Army truck pull up. And I like, well, okay, well, that's different. Is the Army entering?

“- Or did Iran invade and did I not hear about it, right?”

And so I'm looking at it and I'm thinking myself, well, what's this? And I'm expecting a collector, you know, an older guy like us or something. You know, step down, I got a chance to buy one of these. And, you know, maybe I drove this and, you know, when I served and, and so this is, you know, I bought one.

- I got one. - I got one, Tim Allen buying the tank. - Yeah, in a storyline on last man standing. - Yeah, and so I go around and it's a very young man. And I'm telling you, he looks all of 15.

And he's telling us every single detail about this truck. What this truck is, then the question was asked, why do you buy it? Because my mom wrote in one, when she served in Iraq. Then the story got greater. And he's telling us again about everything.

The tires and everything, and then I said, okay, you're hauling a flat bed trailer. And he said, yeah, he goes, I had to paint that camouflage because the colors were kind of weird and the wheels were yellow. So I painted that myself and it matched the truck.

“And I'm like, wow, I said, so what do you do with the truck?”

And because it is about working trucks. And he said, I hauled my heavy equipment. I said, you're heavy equipment? I'm thinking this kid's got to be 15 at most. Very skinny.

Do everything, though. He said, yeah, when I was 15, I started working in the excavation company that my uncle owns.

So he started teaching me about all of that.

“And now I have heavy equipment, and I run an excavation company.”

I said, I'm sorry, how old are you? He said, I'm 20. Wow. So when did you buy this truck? This massive military truck.

He said two years ago. I said, you bought this truck when you were 18. Yeah, and you built a business. And you're at 20. Yeah, you guys busy, busy all the time.

My mom and dad helped me out with a business part. And I'm the only one in the company that has the CDL. So I do all the driving. And it's crazy.

And we gave him his name is Kilian Flannery.

Kilian, if you're out there, he was the rock star. All of the entire group of drivers out there on the lot were coming up to his truck and learning his story. So he's inspired by his mom's service in Iraq to buy that particular truck.

“Then he knows that truck's going to give him the advantage”

in excavation. And he buys heavy equipment to do what his family also does as a business and create his own version of that. And we gave him the Steve Sturgis award. Steve Sturgis was a long time judge at Shell

what's held superricks. And we created that awardman Steve passed away a few years ago. And Steve was the world's-- one of the greatest experts on equipment, on big rigs, on cars.

He reviewed for a living, in fact. He would drive cars all over the world. He traveled all-- he was-- he's my friend I keep mentioning from Great Britain. And I knew him for years.

We served as judges four years at that event together. And he taught me so much. But we honor trucks that Steve would absolutely geek out over. But the story behind that, Steve would still be talking about it right now, like I am, because it was so inspirational.

Here's a 20-year-old kid. And he has a couple of disabilities, by the way. And I won't get into those disabilities, because I don't see them. I don't see any limitations for killing and flattering.

He doesn't see any limitations. He's going on to the next show. And he held that plaque when we presented it to him. The crowd was cheering, because he had already become the rockstar, the inspiration,

because of the work that he put in to build that business. It was one of the most inspiring moments in my 26 years as a judge at Chero-Tele Supereds, period. And I've had many-- a young man who's father won the event back in Thomas Wisconsin years ago

is now building trucks himself. And the young Mr. Rethwitch winning contest on actually building trucks and continuing the family business knows everything. At 12, he was helping his dad in changing the oil

and doing everything the maintenance on those big rigs. And the one thing he couldn't do is the filter, Bill said, because he couldn't put his hands around the filter. He couldn't get a smaller hands around the filter.

So he needed to help with the filter. But everything else he was helping on the maintenance starting at 12. And these are the lessons that everyone-- I'm 60.

My inspiration comes from Bill's son. It comes from Kilian. It comes from Jennifer Kilian's mom, who served this country, because I know she did a great job as a mom and did a great job serving this country.

And you think about all this where I love to make excuses as to why I can't get something done. I'm the worst offender there. But it's really hard to do it when you see those inspiring stories of young people doing it.

And whether they have a disability or not. And you just wonder, my gosh, what is their daylight? I mean, it just shows you when you're determined to do something, you can do it. You can succeed.

You may not be able to succeed at what you love to do. But if you wish to succeed, you can succeed.

“And what I found out in life is the things”

that you wish to succeed in, you may never reach

and the things that you don't think you would want to do. You end up doing and you end up loving them. Yeah, you do. And there were moments too that other drivers shared with me about their faith.

And they were very proud of their faith as they should be. And I just thought to myself, there's a message

I wish everybody could see through my eyes

“what I experienced this year at Showerthel's Superricks.”

And I've experienced over the years, in fact, at this event and others where you and I talk about, because we're needy in the middle of assessing all of it. And what happens inside the Beltway, how it affects the rest of the country and then we talk about how the left will

often say, well, the right is the enemy. And blah, blah, blah, blah. And there were no enemies. There were people showing up doing their thing, being nice to each other, having a good time,

being respectful, learning from each other. That's who we are as a society, as you and I have been saying for years. And it was just inspiring. It's the kind of thing that I probably have four college degrees

when it comes to what I've learned overall about the trucking industry, transportation, what it means to this country, the economy.

“And it is something that I think, again,”

if we all stop and take a look at how it all runs and understand, I do know that we have that basic understanding, because I heard somebody else say this a couple of weeks ago, unsolicitedly they said, they try and make a big deal about how we're separated as a nation and everything else.

Yeah, there's a bunch of disagreements out there. But I run into people every day from all walks of life and I get along with them just fine. And I thought to myself, you and I talk about this a lot. There are very fundamental disagreements

and it's important to point those out, which is why you and I say, well, don't hold back on it. Whatever it is you want, you know, the party now, the Democratic party now is trying to decide if the Mombani is dodging the question on prisons

should they exist? This is how bad it's done. - Jonathan Carl, I'm sorry, what a whim. - Yeah, no, ask the damn question. - Just get straight to it, let's do it, let's do it.

- We don't, and you know, I'm sorry. - This is the thing that I've learned from truck drivers, the truck driving community over the years. They don't really have time for BS. You gotta get straight to it.

They've got a job to do and like you've said, there are jobs in this world, you can't get wrong. You can't screw it up. And driving is one of them and, you know, plumbing electricians, mechanics,

whatever it might be, you've gotta get it right. So get straight to the point, don't hold back, own it. But in the political realm, you know, it just seems like people are so afraid to approach, we shouldn't be afraid, because there aren't two sides

to every story. There's not gonna be a cum by y'all moment. There wasn't from the beginning.

We started with a revolutionary war.

- Oh, that's timely. - Yeah, oh, by the way, look at my shirt. - Yeah, you've got a, you're wearing a, is that Cuba, is that the Cuban flag? - Yeah, yes, well, actually in honor of the pandemic,

the hammer and sickle shirt that I'm wearing now, get on this, I think it's very, very appropriate. - It'll sell those that I'll maybe. - It shows my pride, pride in what I have no idea. - No, you've got a full on button down shirt,

summer shirt with black flag, some fireworks on us. - Statue of Liberty, fireworks, yes, everything right now. My thing is, if I actually was thinking about this, because Friday heading to see Dad again and be back for independent stay back in New York.

And I thought to myself, might they not let me on the plane if I wear this because I'm offending too many liberals who may be traveling this weekend, or our liberals all stay in home because as we see now, what is it, half of Democrats,

which not to live in this country, you saw that. - Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

“- And you know, you have to wonder, you know,”

our event this year, it's at a different location every year, but the event shall put on super rigs was that Bristol motor speedway.

And I'll tell you, first of all,

the rolling hills of Tennessee, wow, both my mom's family and my dad's family, you know, go back to Tennessee, my dad, and Nashville, and my mom, in the rural parts of Tennessee for three years, and I just love the rolling hills

of Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, and it's just beautiful there. And the people are great, and I kind of did wonder. You know, I was on a small plane, I was on a regional plane going out and coming home,

and no issues whatsoever, although we had men.

And in the Bristol area, on Saturday,

“just as we're getting to the awards portion”

of its Saturday afternoon, man, it just let loose 50 mile an hour, wins, and everything else, and I wondered if I was gonna get out to ground, if our plane was gonna be delayed, we had no delays, I got home, but you know,

I thought about that, I thought about, you know, the people that come and go. And also the people, I mean, there's plenty of liberals and in the Bristol area, you know, anywhere you go today, there's plenty of them.

And we all get along, and we've had that conversation, you know, we go about our business day to day. But I also would love to just sit, not debate, but ask questions about what people think, or what they know about what's going on right now

in our country. I'm just very curious, 'cause I do think a lot of people just don't want to get in the middle of it. Or they spend so much time working front of my nose, a trucking company,

and they're working from 5 AM until midnight or longer, you know, they're doing something with their company. And so there's no time to slow down and learn everything. They obviously have to learn about regulations and all of that, but how many people just don't understand

“what's going on right now and just kind of go along to get along?”

- Oh, ignorance is absolutely bliss. - Willfully ignorance is probably more blister. I said this when I was a backseat of my dead last week. - Yeah. - And then it's like two weeks and four, I was back too,

and I'm just back, and as I just talked to regular people, it's like, it's almost as everybody's just turned off, everything that's happening, they don't want to hear anymore. - Yeah. - Yeah, right.

- No, those guys, they're absolutely, it's done, it's this fatigue, basically, which is not what you want going into a midterm for either party. We are right, I radio. Brought to you by Hot Shot Secret.

- Hi, I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller. Due to safety concerns, many motor carriers have policies that limit or prohibit the use of cruise control.

“You should only use it in good driving conditions,”

during daylight hours, and on rows that have light traffic, few curves or hills, and a consistent speed limit.

Never use cruise control when operating

in adverse driving conditions, including wet, icy, or slippery roads. During brush hour and heavy traffic or on congested highways at night, or when you're tired or fatite. You want to be controlling and adjusting your speed

as you drive instead of having to suddenly break if you encounter an obstacle. In the case of a slippery road surface, you want to be able to slow your vehicle by not accelerating instead of using the brakes

whenever possible. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com. - We lined up on for your goals. 866, 90-red-eye on red-eye radio.

(upbeat music) - We're in our radio. He is here in front of you and I'm Gary McNamara. While you were gone, and I did send you the text, a dad got out of the hospital, so that was--

- That was such a great news. - Just so people know him, we were quite worried because both the admitting doctor and the emergency room doctor when my father went in said it's not survivable.

And that would have been about 10 days or 12 days ago. And my father reacted very quickly to the antibiotics and everything else and he's back home again. - That's great news, so it's great, just so that was really, that was really, really good news.

- Yeah, it's so very good news. - Coming up, the situation in a ran plus, the great parts of the world cup, I mean, there's so many articles out there about how Europeans and people around the world

are coming here, you mentioned it before, that I saw one woman that commented said, all we hear is that we figured the United States was at war with each other. - Yeah, right, you know, almost like going to Bosnia

in the early '90s or something.

And it was like, we found this in incredible country.

I'm reading here Wall Street Journal, European soccer fans, marvel at the splendor of America's suburbs. We get to that in a whole bunch more. I mean, in social media, just pounding with people from around the world saying, wow, wow.

And then the air conditioning debate. - That's my God. - That's my God. - I love it. (upbeat music)

I help people make this smartest money decisions possible.

If you don't control your money, it controls you. - If 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 control of your life. What is it that you actually want? - The 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 a listen on your favorite platform. (upbeat music) - You're listening to Red Eye Radio. - From the Ray Leapz actor studio. - And I'm Gary MacCurlong with Eric Harley.

The good parts of the world cup, and the latest from Iran coming up in just a minute. - For 250 years Americans have believed

in one powerful idea that we're meant to live free.

We do work hard, we do move, we do the things we enjoy, and a pain has you sitting on the sidelines, like I was for the longest time. I want you to try really factor.

They gave me some to try, and it's made a real difference in my life.

“My lower back before used to honestly keep me”

from things that I wanted to do, and that I needed to do. And I just went to that truck show. I was telling you, and it would have three days,

the wow, that's a lot to be on your feet, moving about, we're really working in that truck show. We're running around, and I didn't have to worry about my pain, thanks to relief factor.

I want you to get the same great benefits. We're talking about 100% drug free formula, research based, right, to help your body fight inflammation, and to celebrate 250 years of American independence,

a special patriotic price to get you started. 1776, for your three-week quick start. 1776, just call. 800, the number four, relief. 800, the number four, relief,

“or go to relieffactor.com for your three-week quick start”

at 1776. Just a social media over the last, well, since the world cup has started, but really, as it continues, and you have people from around the world here

for longer periods of time,

it's just really amazing.

And the media is covering it, too. How people just love it. Who did the article that was like? It's almost like saying, people from around the world love the United States

well, they should. No, I can see that. You know, I was telling you about my dearly departed friend, Steve Sturgis, and he was the one who would say to me, 'cause he lived here in the States from Great Britain,

but he would often go back to Europe and he would say, the media here is obsessed with the whole race of something. They seem to be obsessed with the division. Now, of course, these days,

and I haven't obviously talked to him in a few years, and in his later years, I didn't talk to him about how it was evolving over there and where it was going over in Europe. But he said, it's just an obsession

with the American media that they're really pushing it, pushing it, pushing it, and you would think, like you were saying earlier, that America is just completely, just in a real war, a true civil war. There is a cultural war, but it's a proverbial war.

We're not in each other's face, most of the time. Outside of a couple of rallies here and there. But some of the things that on social media, this is the woman in the financial sector who's been living in London.

She's an American citizen, but she put, and this isn't response to everything we hear from people coming in for the world cup. Been living in London for three years, and every time I come back to the United States,

I have to recalibrate. When you're overseas, you tend to forget what real abundance feels like. So much so, I stood there in the granola aisle, mouth open, brain completely short-circuited,

as I stared at a ridiculous wall of infinite choice. A bazillions of brands, flavors, and innovations. Chocolate, peanut butter, banana crunch, maple, pecan, espresso, keto, collagen packed, probiotic, gluten-free, protein-loaded, you name it.

The French call it, embarrassment of choice, that overwhelming feeling

“when there are simply too many great things to pick from.”

It's usually used positively or neutrally, the options are desirable, but the embarrassment highlights the mild frustration guilt and indecision it causes. But Americans don't get embarrassed by it at all.

No, because they don't feel guilt about having more. It is the land of plenty for a reason. It's easy to start a food company here. It's easy to build brands, and it's easy to just employ and fire people that freedom unleashes

relentless innovation and variety, feeding an unstoppable demand for better, tastier, healthier, and crazier options.

No wonder Europeans lose their minds the first time

they stick into a Costco. Yes. American abundance is a policy and a cultural choice. Wow. I had a, I have a friend from Scotland, Stephen,

photographer, great photographer, very talented. Liz and Idaho, and has her years now. Love's it, and he says, you know, the one thing about Americans is you don't know that you can't do it. He says in Scotland, we want to, you know,

create something, start something, start a business. The government, the red tape is basically telling us all the reasons why we can't. This is another woman from Great Britain who's been posting a lot.

I've seen her all over the place. And I don't know why.

I don't know why my algorithm spick up on her.

But she said, she's here for the World Cup. One thing I've noticed about Americans, no one is scared of Monday mornings like people are in Europe. People know that if they want to make a lot of money,

they need to get up and work for it. No one expects people to do it for them. Right? Oh, I'm like, wow. Yeah, crazy, right?

And she also wrote, she wrote here,

“I think the average American would struggle”

to live in the rest of the world, not because they can't handle it. But because it would struggle seeing how bad a lot of the systems and technology are, we couldn't even comprehend having something like a driverless car on our streets.

[LAUGHTER] And then you had, let me just find it here, Wall Street Journal did an entire article. European soccer fans marvel at the splendor of America's suburbs, Dutch fans and Missouri.

Oh, they left here? They're very, very, very crazy here. Crazy good, though. Yeah. Dutch fans and Missouri see a nation that is risky and expensive,

but vast and bountiful. Quote, everything is three times the size. Yeah. Yeah, one guy, Dutch soccer fanatics saw his team would be playing along the border of Missouri and Kansas,

and he made a detour in his worldwide road trip. He got into his camper van and drove south from Toronto, making stops and Detroit, Chicago and Indianapolis along the way, and other European fans who flocked to Kansas City for the World Cup, beheld the fruits of the American economy

from a vantage point few foreign tourists, typically see suburban superstores, hulking plates of food, quiet streets. He marveled at the sprawling houses of contrast to the tightly packed homes of the Netherlands. Quote, it's spacious, he said, you go here for shopping

and there for your dentist, people are so rich here.

“I think that's why Americans can be so nice.”

No, I mean, it really is, I think, and I love this, the fact that they're able to compare it directly,

that we've never lived the experience I had a friend I mentioned

from Germany, and she was having to go back to Germany. She had married an American and he passed away unexpectedly, but I'm not sure how it works exactly, with her getting her citizenship, but she had not become a citizen yet.

So she had to go back to Germany, and she was so distraught about that, and she told me, the time here obviously she was distraught about the loss of her husband, but she also said, our lives together here was so different.

And she said, we didn't have to acquire, we didn't feel like we had to acquire millions and dollars or a mansion or anything else. We were just free to, you and I've talked about this. A success isn't always becoming a trillionaire

until your soft drops and you're no longer a trillionaire, but it's not, and you know, Elon and people like that don't do it, for the money, they're doing it for the innovation, but, or remember, yeah, he's no longer a trillionaire.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - So he stopped drops and you're no longer a trillionaire. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, so, and which made me sad, 'cause the Democrats are getting their way. We no longer have trillionaires,

but the idea of that, you and I've talked about it. Both had family members, my dear departed brother, who passed away a couple of months ago. He was successful. He paid off his house, he lived his life the way he wanted to.

He didn't make millions and what he did. He made enough money, he saved it, he spent it wisely, he lived below his means, and all of this came together to constitute the definition of success.

“And those are the things that are, I think,”

if you look at this, the abundance, the opportunity, what these Europeans are seeing here, the freedom to move about to get in your camper trailer and just say, hey, man, I'm just in your camper vehicle and you're just, I'm just gonna drive around

and look at all these things along the way.

- I saw one woman that said it's amazing

the number of cars and how people can go everywhere. - Yes. - Yes, I guess the only negative thing is seeing the world out through a car window. And I'm like, you just complimented it. - Right. - Of course.

But if you didn't have the car, you wouldn't be able to see it, Dr. Car Window, just roll it down. The other thing I'm ready to couple more things that they said here, the Europeans had plenty of thoughts

on American culture. We are a bit shocked about all the food you were eating, said Dutch National Team Superfan Sandra to Tea. Fans also blocked at the size of the Costco's and the vastness of the highways.

In recent days, social media has been filled with videos of Europeans gawking at the staples of suburban American life, a two-car garage

walking closet, a second refrigerator.

One Brit went viral for trying Chick-fil-A for the first time. That was absolutely banging, he said. In another, he toured the inside of an American fire station, marbling at the size of the trucks and the station itself.

“This is nuts, honestly, the data shed some light.”

The average American homes about 1800 square feet with new single family homes measuring will over 2000 feet according to US Census Bureau data, Europeans, 1000 square feet of 1100 square feet on average according to data from UK

and the European Union data agencies. Such measures of wealth offer only a partial view of what it's like to live in the two continents. Europeans might earn less and less stuff, but they also work less hours.

And many argue benefit from stronger safety nets. When Ron Visert and his American wife are wane where to settle down the US of the Netherlands, they calculated that they could spend $40,000 less in the Netherlands that they did in the US.

The difference in salaries was a race, though, by the equivalent gap in standard of living. You have a lower standard of living over there. - Yeah, right, make less work hours. - Right. - Work less hours.

But that's the one where the one person

“most is Americans just, they seem to be energetic to work.”

They seem to be energetic to work like the gentleman, the young man you were talking about. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- We used 20 years old and basically runs his own,

it just in the 15s saw that inspiration of what he wanted. So exactly what he wanted, you know, my friend, Steve that I mentioned, one time at a super exhibit we're having lunch. Tell me about they had bought a house to rent out

in the South of France. And he said, we'll go there and spend a month 'cause he was a writer, he could work from anywhere. And his wife, same thing. And so there we go there and spend a month

and he said, it's great, it's a small little wine village and everything shuts down in the village for three hours for lunch. And he says, if you walk in at five minutes till lunch time, you know, into a store,

they're looking at you like you better get it and get out because we're closing, they close the doors, except the restaurants. And you sat at that table, it's not like, you go to a restaurant now, you know, here or here

in the US and that table will turn over a few times during a lunch period. And he said, no, no, we sat. And then they closed it like 4 p.m. So I'm like, yeah, but you can't get anything done.

But what was getting done, you know, America's about productivity in order to, you know, again, afford those choices that abundance and do what you want, work, which means also work as hard as you want, just like Killian and his truck.

So that's part of it. - We are right, I radio. - We'll be right back with more Red Eye Radio with Eric Hurley and Gary McNamara.

- We're running out of radio.

He is hurt, honey, and I'm hearing McNamara. I just love in one of the stories that I read, they talked about Europeans in Costco and Walmart, like completely baffled in loss. - Yeah, right.

Yeah, they don't know what to do. So they don't know what to do with all the choice. - And of course Bernie Sanders considered that for the United States. - Yes, we wanted to.

- Yes. - And I'm sure Mandami could because as Bernie Sanders said, it's atrocious that we have 42 brands of deodorant was like 42 brands, wasn't it? - Something like that.

- Yeah. - And so we had to, you know, it's a waste of, what did he say?

It's a waste of capital, it's a waste of,

a few men endeavors to have 42 different deodorants. - Right. - We could just have one. - Right. - Exactly.

And it's like, so because he sees it as the government should be making, you know, they should be controlling. That means a production. He sees that in the communist eyes. And that, if you were, if we were a communist nation,

we would only have one because that capital and all of that, those resources, those people could be doing other things before their job, which was to work for the government. - What would you have 72 hour deodorant like you have now?

- No, you wouldn't, it would be 72 minutes at best. - Now for the hour news is brought you by how products visit how products.com.

- This is Ridae Radio on Westwood One.

- Iconic vibes, some best in price. Wow, get mit you, Fourier in the drutter stuffy. That's a couple of years after the high school.

“I don't know if that's what I want to do.”

- Stream up to the 13th April, parallel to U.S. Start, which is a new episode. - That's a problem. And you are a part of the title track. Give it a try.

- Follow me from the episode of "House of the Dragon" and "Wicked". All of it is up to you in 2019. Streaming, but not so, wow. - Now, it's Ridae Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley, talk about everything

from FatherTicks 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 Ridae Radio. - All across America, we are Ridae Radio.

He is Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara. - Welcome in good morning, thanks for being here. - Yeah, thanks a lot. - Oh, the other thing that got a mention was how the people around the world are just blown away

by how everything is air conditioned. - Oh, yeah. - Just blows up completely blows them away. - Yeah, the outdoor tent during the award ceremony at Superricks was air conditioned.

That's, I mean, it was enclosed, but it was air conditioned. - Yeah, we got to have our air conditioning.

“- There was something about, I think it was the game”

that was one of the games being played in Dallas, and they had, you know, the climate change outlook because of the heat. - Yeah. - And they said, well, yeah, it is air conditioned,

but still, no, if it's air conditioned, you don't have a heat problem. - Right. - It's air conditioned. It just was hilarious how they were still trying

to make the case. - That one of those climate change factors here, but Europeans blown away, and, you know, the sale, for example, of cheap Chinese, who had the article?

I think it was, Walter E. Journal had a national review reported on it. They went through all the different periodicals talking about air conditioned in Europe. And, and the fact that, you know,

people just don't have it in the government, don't want you to have it. - Right. - Oh, yeah, no. - You know, they still your way from it.

And then it went back and forth. You started seeing, you know, the debate begins on social media between Europeans and Americans. - You Americans are just whims.

- Well, living in London is a tad bit different than living in San Antonio, or Phoenix. - Yeah. - Yeah, just a bit. - It saves lives, air conditioning saves millions of lives

in the United States. - Absolutely.

“Remember the one summer and it was years ago,”

but there was one summer and it was in Chicago. - Yeah, and in mid-90s. - And they people, because for security reasons, felt like they needed to keep their doors and windows closed. And that was the case.

- Yeah. - I mean for security you did. And they didn't have air conditioning.

And they, it, it, it caused a number of deaths. We've seen heat waves, caused deaths.

“One of the things that you'll see here in our area,”

and all the, in all the hot areas of the country, and the hottest part of the year, which we're in right now, we're entering the even hotter as we get into July. I put all my ring gear up, so it's, I hung it all up. It's, you know, I have to get it back out in the fall.

But, you know, as it starts to become drier and drier and hotter and hotter, one of the things that you'll see is check on your neighbors to make sure they're okay. You know, some can't afford, if they have an AC, can't afford to run the AC, they may be on a fixed income,

or they may not have an AC. So there are these nonprofit efforts to get air conditioning to people who need it. You'll also see, I mean, if you're, I'm talking to, you know, if you're here from Europe, if you're, you know,

new to the area, it's a common thing to see, and there are what they call cooling centers. If you need a place to stay cool during the day, this, this center here, or this YMCA is open, or whatever it might be, where you can go

and, you know, stay comfortable during the hottest part of the day.

And it's a very critical safety issue.

It's, it's not something that we have just for our own comfort, it's something that, that if not managed properly, can take a life for many. - I always talk about when I lived in the, in Portland, and I lived in a new townhouse development,

“and I remember, you know, going in there,”

and when I got, and I worked, this is when I worked at our great affiliate KXL, and I got there in August, right beginning of August. - Yeah. - And Portland is really unique.

It can get to 98 during the day and 55 at night. - Yeah, yeah. - But when I moved at brand new townhouse, well, I mean, it was August, and so probably, by the time I stayed in a hotel for a while,

then I got my place, probably middle of August, and didn't. And it was just one of those hot days, and I'm like, it must have separate thermostats here. - Right. - Yeah.

- It's the heating, I can't find the air conditioning. - Right, and then so I go down to the office, and I'm like, you know, do you guys have separate thermostats for heating and air conditioning? They go, what are you talking about?

We don't have air conditioning. What do you mean?

“So what I had to do was, you know, you're in that unique climate,”

though, where it goes into the lower 60s, or even the 50s at night, even 90 during the day, so what you did was, and the temperature would drop pretty quickly. It actually would drop.

I mean, by the time I would go to sleep at 9/10, a clock, it might be down into the upper 70s. You turn the fan on, you kept the fans on the entire, I had upstairs, and it downstairs, I had a fan, and it downstairs window that brought it up,

you know, right through the upstairs window. You had no choice, and you would cool it down, and then really cool it down, then close all the blinds all day. When I would wake up at six o'clock in the morning,

and it would be in the 50s, and it was like, wow.

When I first moved to Florida, I moved to,

this was right after college when I went into radio. Actually, it was a couple of years after college. It was 83, 83, all the way through the end of '83, all the way through the end of '86, almost four years. I lived in Florida and Texas, no air conditioning

in my vehicle, 'cause it was an option. - Right, yeah. - Is it even an option these? I don't think it's an option anymore. - I don't think so, and I guess you could pre-order

it without an air conditioner, I don't know why you would do that. (laughing) But I remember, I lived in Florida, then lived in Marshall, Texas, East Texas where it gets hot. - Yeah.

- And I know where it conditioning. - My dad has four years, my dad drove a large box truck.

It wasn't a big rig, but a box truck in his second career

for a while, he drove a semi for part of it, but when he was driving that box truck, it had no air conditioning. And so he was working, and he had to load and unload his own truck. And he would keep a big rag around his neck

and ice water on board, you know, the whole thing, but there was no air, no AC in that truck. And I was like, man, I just said that on, I don't know how you do it. And that's one of the things, again, we talked about it.

Who was it that wrote the article a years ago

- It was some guy from Austin, yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, yeah.

“- And it was like, oh, we have, I'm no idea.”

We were, I was actually talking to a buddy of mine who, over the weekend, and, you know, we were talking about, well, you know, where might the event be next year? And, and I said, well, I don't know,

I've heard Las Vegas thrown around, you know, we've had, I've gone to, there's plenty of conventions and events in Vegas, of course. He goes, man, if we go during the heat of the summer, he said, I was with a friend and we were walking

across the street and the guy's flip flops, started sticking melting. (laughing) He said, it was just crazy if we're gonna have to get some different kind of shoes of we're there.

You know, so in a friend's an Arizona, they know that. You know, I'd say, you know, probably parts of Utah and you get into the very, very even, even though they say, it's a dry heat.

“Yeah, yeah, right, you mean like an oven?”

And that's, you know, that's something that, again, as a society, it's not just about our own comfort. It's also, it's about our health. National Review, Europe's heat wave upstairs gets AC, downstairs not so much.

Europe struggles with air conditioning and appear to have taken a turn at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels. The building does have AC. Well, no one think of the planet.

They then write their, but the current heat wave has proved too much for the cooling system. Reaching 95 degrees on Friday, a level reached, works seated on over 100 days in Phoenix last year. (laughing)

But the staff working in the building received a text at midday reading, urgent due to extreme weather conditions, forced shut down of air cooling system from floor one to seven for the rest of the day. Strangely, the offices of the EU's commissioners,

its top bureaucrats are based on the eighth floor. So one through seven, you have the eighth floor. And above, the Commission's president is based on the top floor, the 13th floor, their air conditioning continued.

It's like from political at this on that this whole story. It's like feudalism, the Commission official working on a lower level, said granted anonymity to speak freely. Yeah, to a political on Friday referring to the fact that the upper floors housing commissioners got to keep

their AC on a second official degree that was a disgrace.

A third staff are working, let the meat cake. A third's a staff are on the eighth floor, told political on Friday that even working with AC, the temperature inside was still 78 degrees. The EU Commission has been warning to the dangers of climate

change for years, and they continue on with the stories from France and everything else about people just not having air conditioners, but now they want it. This is really started because of the story.

“I think the media paying attention to it”

was over the last two weeks in the World Cup here. And so many people from on the world say, "My God, everything's air condition." Well, I mean, there's the benefit of soccer being such a popular sport outside the US

is that you have so many fans that come to the US to experience it, they go, "Whoa, we like this. Hey, can we have this?" To me, I love the effect of that kind of awakening. You know, we see political awakenings, not saying woke.

True awakenings of people and not awokening, and not awokening. And it's great to see. You see the changing of hearts and minds. And because we've said all along,

we don't believe people are stupid. The left and those in power believe you're stupid. They believe you're stupid. They want to keep you stupid. Sorry, the eighth floor gets air conditioning, you don't.

And that's a prime example, man. You know, you think about that, it is the intent is to keep people willfully ignorant, to create as many distractions as you can. And again, treat them like treat people like their

stupid or ignorant.

And we've always said, look, if you choose to be ignorant,

that's on you and today's world, there's no reason to be. And when they learn something, when they learn something by experiencing, by coming to the states for the first time, like my friend who came here from Germany, it was living here, and then had to go back to Germany.

Those things change hearts and minds,

Don't give me wrong. Plenty of people still hook, line, and sinker on the whole climate change thing. But then they start asking questions going, what are we actually doing here? And what's actually changing?

Greta said it herself, none of you are doing anything about it.

“None of you are actually taking action, and the fact is,”

that there's been climate change since the beginning. Well, you know, they talk about, yeah, they talk about France here, and it's like France doing the same thing. There's a climate change climate change, and they're like 70% of France's powers nuclear,

doesn't cause any climate change. Why are they doing it? It's almost as if they want you to live in Neanderthal settings. You look even if you work up north,

you have a 90 degree day, and if you're in a building, you're in an office building. It gets extremely hot. You lose productivity because of that. Yes.

You and I know that a few times, we've come into the very rare times, into the studio during the summer, and the air condition might not be working. It's oppressive.

It's time to tell you. Yeah, because it gets, this gets, we have electronic equipment all over the place, so this gets hot very quickly. Yes.

If the air conditioning is off, it's amazing how hot it gets.

Right. And our studio is about the size of a good walk-in closet. Honestly, that's about the size of it. And we now, they installed, in fact, we have double air conditioning in the building.

We do. But they installed the, what they called duckless aces. And so they're very efficient. They're, they're meant to, to cool one area, one room. We needed it, and we had to have it.

We got to have air flow and everything else. You lose productivity. It can affect people's health. You know, people with neurological conditions. Quite often are told.

The extreme heat can, can make your symptoms worse. And, and create very bad situations for you. Then we get all the way to anybody who could be affected by the heat in terms of the extreme. And that's heat stroke.

You know, which is why there's always this effort, you know,

through the media and everything else. And places like Texas Arizona and everywhere else. To stay hydrated and, and, and all of that. Go to these cooling centers if you don't have an area where you can stay cool. And because it can become dangerous very quickly.

“I remember one time exercising in the heat here in Texas one time.”

And it only took this one time. Where I was going to the very first symptoms of heat stroke. And I got through that. And once I got through that, I said, never. It was stupid.

It's on me. I knew. But the thing is this people get into whatever they're doing. Working, these guys that work construction. You know, they're out there working, guys.

You know, that are working outdoors. Yeah, I don't know how they do it. I don't, I don't know. And, and, but I'll tell you this. If you watch them, they've got coolers build with fluids.

And that's the one thing. I think that they, yeah, I think I had heat stroke once. And that's when I was playing basketball. I was in my 20s in Texas. Right.

Middle the day summertime. So it's 100 degrees. Yeah. And I remember thinking to myself, man, I'm playing so great. And I feel so cool because I was getting all these chills.

I took the ball out of bounds. I fell right over. Luckily, they caught me before I just, I fainted. I mean, I fainted right there. I would have hit the, you know, my head would have hit the concrete.

Yeah. And I, and I was young.

“I mean, that's, that's what I was racing.”

And, but I didn't feel, it felt, it didn't feel bad. You stopped sweating. Yeah. I mean, I was feeling cool though. Like, wow, I got all these chills and right over.

Yep. And when I woke up, they've got nice rags on me. Yeah. Yeah. So I heard water on my head.

I was fine afterwards. I mean, I drank a bunch of water. I didn't play the rest of the day.

But never did that again.

Always pay attention to hydration. Yep. Even if you're playing soccer for those hydration breaks. Yeah. Ah.

So much controversy over that. Soccer's supposed to be two halves. Not four quarters. There's no reason for a hydration break. All the things that people worry about in our society today.

Yeah. If you stand America long enough, we'll tell you how to pick up the ball and throw it. You know, like real football. Mm-hmm. Oh, we are what I read you.

This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by house products. Tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. Travel plans for the July 4th holiday period. Will weather cooperate without door celebrations or travel to locales. USDA Biorellages Brad Ripy says starting July 1st.

Two weather patterns should start to lock into place.

In a summertime ridge of high pressure.

“It typically means hot and humid conditions around the middle of next week.”

Expect to see a large ridge extending from somewhere around the lower Great Lakes region. All the way south westward to near the western Gulf Coast. Yet farther to the north and west. There is going to be the remnants of a spring-like storm lurking across the northwest. So there we could see some unsettled weather Pacific Northwest to the northern plains.

And some cooler conditions than what will be seeing further east. So when July 4th arrives. Most of the country with the exception of the northern tier should be seeing above normal temperatures. Just about everybody else at least normal to above normal. I'm Rod Bane reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, D.C.

This report brought to you by Senax fuels and loops.

Yet in much with what I read you, toll free at 8.6.

Mindy Red Eye. [Music] We are ready to go.

“He's our crony and I'm very mad tomorrow.”

This is really interesting. I just happened to see the snake silver. Okay. Hand this. Someone asked him, "Do we ever get the sales figures for Jill Biden's book?"

[Laughs] It debuted at number one on the New York Times list due to Astro-Turft bulk orders. Not my opinion. That's the indicator that it got from the New York Times. Right.

Two weeks later, completely off the list. Yes. That only political reporters are actually reading it. It was his comment. There you go.

[Music] [Music] Catch Red Eye Radio Live every night on the Red Eye Radio app available in the App Store. [Music] And we are, Red Eye Radio.

He is here crony and I'm Gary McNamara. I'm almost said, "We are Eric Hurley." [Laughs] Well, we are. I don't know about if they are and that's because we're changing our pronouns.

You know, I'm we and you're they. Oh man, I'm telling you the over the weekend what we found out was that you've got maybe those ten representatives who have said we're moderate, but everybody else seems like everybody was falling in line.

“I think the key word key phrase over the weekend was the big tent.”

And all I could see is a tent with a huge swastika on it. Yeah. No, that's it. You know, I said leading up to the Mamdenani Mayoral election, the anointing. I said the Democratic Party on the national level is right now at that doorstep

at that threshold. They have to decide if they're going to go full on socialists. Because at that point, he wasn't getting everyone's endorsement. Chuck hadn't. Schumer had not joined in on the endorsement side.

There wasn't of course, you know, Chuck's look. Sorry, Chuck's the old guard. He's going to be on his way out. He won't take long for him to be, you know, retired according to the party. He's going to take a short and that, but if you look at that, they're leading up to that election.

The party had to make that decision. Then the energy comes after the election. And it was like, and then he's seated as mayor and he's doing all these things. And then you get to these, you know, primaries in this season.

And his energy is, you know, basically taking off.

And they're getting to the, their new constitution that you brought to the show last week. Right. And we would over a few times what the DSA wants. What the DSA actually wants. And they are the leadership of the party.

They are the future of the party. You will not shut them down. And it has even Mamdani dodging questions about whether there should be prisons or not. Well, I mean, it's when, when I saw over the weekend, Schumer getting booed at the, you know, the, the pride march in New York City getting passionately booed. Yeah.

And I'm sitting there thinking, okay, this has to be the liberal gate groups that say, Please radical Muslim countries, throw us off the roofs. We love you.

Please murder us. Right. Yes. I mean, the whole gaze for Palestine and all that. I mean, absolutely, you know, we were in Saturday.

We were in Saturday. We were able to make sense of that. No, never been able.

Well, it, to me, it's, it's almost, it's not the same, but it's the same mentality as what we always talked about the West Virginia coal miners union back during 2008 after Obama said,

I'm going to, I'm going to bankrupt the coal industry. And the union, the coal union gave their endorsement to them. Finally, realizing four years later, we might have made a mistake and said, we're not going to endorse either party. Right. It's like, what in the, and so what do you do?

“What do you do with with human beings that say, we support people who will murder us?”

Right. I, you know, I don't know, but let's get to write them in Donnie here because I thought this was really interesting to show you how easily he lies and how usually, how easily there's no push back to it. Here's, uh, mandami over the weekend with an ABC. Things Jonathan Carl doing the interview with him on Israel. Here we go.

Listen to this. In the idea of a Jewish state Israel is a Jewish state that's in the charter. That's, that's the way it is now. Uh, do you support that? I've said time and again that I support the state of Israel as a state with equal rights.

I believe that any state that presents Jewish state is the question. I think any state that privileges one religion over the other is one that I can't tell you.

I support whether it be Israel or Saudi Arabia or anywhere else.

And a lot of that comes back to a fundamental belief that we should all be considered equal no matter what our faith is. That's where the lie is. Yeah. He's trying to make the comparison of Israel to Saudi Arabia. Israel, you know, we know the charter, which came from the U.N.

Is a place for the Jewish people. All right. It is not a Jewish religious state. All right. It may be a state of Jewish people.

Right. But they have a modern Western democracy. They have no state religion. Right. It is a modern Western democracy with no state religion.

He is trying to make the analogy. Mandani that Israel and Saudi Arabia are the same thing. Mm. Saudi Arabia as we know is a kingdom is a monarchy is run by a family with a state religion of Islam. Right.

Completely due to you could not be any different.

“The only thing is Israel is still the majority Jewish people.”

But it is not a Jewish religious state. Right. And he has to lie. He's got a lie to get his point across. Which is typical.

And and and and also trying to walk the fence. You know what you're seeing here is. And the very beginning, the planting of the seed of at one point. I'm donning himself becoming the oppressor. Because it will happen.

Now it may take years. Don't know when it will happen. But it will happen at some point. The radicals will be done with him. Well Biden is getting booed.

There is screaming genocide. Joe. Yeah. So they are so done with you. And we had mentioned just before the bottom of the hour.

The Jill Biden's, you know, memoirs just nobody's buying it. I mean, it was the bulk orders, you know, the anticipation.

You know, that's basically.

That's going wholesale to retail. Exactly. That's why shot to number one. Right.

“And then soon as it came to OK the retail outlets, the books here sell it to people.”

It dropped off the list completely. And then I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

“I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.”

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. I was going to be a little bit more excited about it.

I was going to be a little bit more excited about it. This is not some kind of conspiracy theory from the right. They're promoting it and put these items down on their agenda for everyone to see.

“The interesting thing is, and it's, I think, is even joy Bay Harrow.”

Socialism is about collecting the garbage. Socialism is social security. No, it's not. Socialism, and that's, you notice that's the spin there. Well, this is about economic issues.

And this is about no. Socialism is about industry and resources. It is controlling the means of production. They are owned. They say collective, I love it.

Owned by the people. No, it's owned by the state. You still have private property. You can impersonal items and things like that. Some smaller free market businesses can exist in a socialist state,

where communism is there is no private property at all. But the fact is socialism is not nothing to do. Well, we've got the DMV. Therefore, it's socialist. No, in a free society, government does have its functions.

And funding government for government functions in a representative democracy is not socialism. Right.

“Now, you can make the case that when they start entering the fact of, you know, a business”

in industry, like for example, nationalizing healthcare. Yeah. Or wanting equity in companies, which we said when Trump started saying this a great thing to have equity in companies, we said stop it. Yeah.

Stop it. No. If you're the Republican and you're considered a conservative, which he isn't necessarily. But that's what you're considered. And you're promoting, well, we're going to take equity in this company.

No. No equity. No government ownership and industry. We don't want it at all. And you make it easier for the Democrats to come in and go, well, Trump's talking about ownership of companies.

Why can't we? Right. No, that's the thing is that you set it up.

You're basically putting everything out there for them to take and run with.

You know, the housing bill, by the way, at the president put the paws on. He said, no, let's we get the save act. We're not going to do this. And I said to myself, well, yeah, but you still want to do it. You promoted it.

They're going to re submit it. I saw the Hill. I'm saying. Yeah. Johnson's giving it back to him today.

So that's going to be. Yeah. Well, it's something he promoted. Oh, I know. The housing bill.

That's something he promoted in the state of the union. He let the effort on that. And one of the chief architects in writing that bill on the Senate side is Elizabeth Warren. We don't need more government influence in the mortgage markets. We've already seen what government does when they get too much power in it.

We saw it in 2008, 2009. That can happen again. And we're going back to the same old, same old again. And by the way, as the, when you were gone the other day, they were talking to all, you know, all these builders are going to make any difference.

No, no. They just need to put something out there to say, we're doing something about prices for you. Right. You're not going to see anything come from this. Well, no, because the example the president used at the state of the union address was a woman from Texas,

our state, and that she was trying to bid on a house. And he blamed black rock. And I don't know if that was the case in her particular case or not. He said it was, so all right, taking for us word. But bidding against each other on houses was going on for the longest time.

It was driving prices up. People were moving here from other states. And they could afford to, you know, well, I'll throw an extra 50,000 at that house.

That was the problem.

And now they're underwater because those prices are the values.

Well, as have fallen, but it's not going to change when you say, well, corporations shouldn't be buying homes. Well, then the government should be. Well, that what you're saying, but the, but the biggest thing is you're not going to have, you know, the, the, the, the regulations of the zoning are not. Federals of minuscule part of it.

All right, you want to see what's going on in Texas? This is the, the, the Democrat state convention. And this is Democratic Texas. Land commissioner Ben Flores talking about James Tallarico. Here we go.

All right. All right. It's time to say the James is trans. We're all trans. [ Laughter ]

“When they say James is a gay, tofu eaten vegan.”
