07-07-26 Part One - Concern for Senator Mitch McConnell

Like so?

Last call for your steuer.

Oh no, I don't know where I'm supposed to go. Because you're steuer.

“That's how steuer is based on an honest stress.”

Is that simple? Of course, it's almost all automatic. Steuer is long? No, just a few times. No, then.

Hold it now, then. With this steuer. It's about the 31st Newly. Now, it's Red Eye Radio. We've talked 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. For Gary McNamara and Eric Arley, here is Dan Mendes.

86690 Red Eye is the phone number 8669073339 and always a pleasure to fill in here

“on Red Eye Radio. You can find me on the socials.”

At Dan Mendes show, if you would follow me on X and Facebook, I would very much appreciate it. I host a morning show in Nashville, Tennessee on Super Talk, May 9th, 7th, and WTN. We have a lot to talk about tonight. Number one, how big of an issue is illegal immigration going to be heading into the mid-term

elections? We've had a lot of deportations, not enough, but we're going to talk about that. The ladies on the view triggered by the American flag. We're going to talk about that as well, including a commie H.o. way out there in San Diego, a big topic of conversation as well.

We do have some news on Iran as well. There is just a lot going on, and what is going on with Mitch McConnell? If you've been anywhere near the internet or the socials here in the last several hours, they're now reports going on, that the Republican Center out of Kentucky is brain dead.

“That's what they're saying about Mitch McConnell.”

Now, you know that we have seen a steady decline of his health over the past year or two. He's been speaking in front of the cameras. He's simply stopped speaking. It's like he's frozen up.

Now, a few things have happened in the last couple of days. Back on July 3rd. It was reported that he had been in the hospital for three weeks following an apparent heart attack. Now this is from an article on July 3rd.

The 84-year-old was admitted to the hospital on June 14th still. They say his office has revealed a few details about his condition, saying, only that Mitch McConnell is continuing to improve while staying engaged with Senate business and matters affecting his home state of Kentucky. Now, according to people, despite remaining in the hospital, aid saved the veteran lawmaker

has continued to communicate with colleagues and work remotely while the Senate is in recess. Okay. Well, then one of two things has happened. Either they've been lying all along about his state of mind and how his condition has been or he has taken a really bad turn for the worse in the last couple of days.

Now, neighbors of Mitch McConnell's Capitol Hill home in Washington, D.C., have said that his D.C. home, well, no one has been there for days or weeks as a matter of fact. They say the Senate majority leader has not been seen in public four weeks before. He was found unconscious after an apparent heart attack at his home on June 14th. Now, one of his neighbors explained, and there's a lot of weird.

I'm just telling you, there's a lot of weird coming up. According to one of his neighbors explaining to independent journalist Desiree Townsend that she saw him being taken to the hospital by paramedics, but has seen no activity at McConnell's

nearly $2 million Washington home since.

She says I haven't seen anyone so that independent journalist Desiree Townsend reported on the story of McConnell's home, and this is part of what she had to say. I don't think many Americans fully appreciate the seriousness of what may be at state following Senator McConnell's medical emergency three weeks ago or how Congress is lack of a constitutional mechanism to remove members for incapacity could have broader implications for the nation's

governance and most importantly, national security. This incredibly odd story also involves Senate Majority Leader John Thune who stated too political that he had spoken with McConnell the day after his hospitalization and that he, quote, sounded good and quote. Now this statement threw off the press for nearly two weeks, placating the public until

I released the EMS dispatch audio showing the seriousness of this medical emergency.

as far as I know he is not spoken with any other members of Congress now puts this initial

remark by Leader Thune into question.

“Yeah, that's pretty bad actually because he also said the same thing to Fox News where”

he said I just spoke to Mitch McConnell in the last day or two, he's doing fine. So we don't really know if Thune was lying or not, there's been a lot of secrecy around the condition of Mitch McConnell where okay. So if he was in the hospital, he was found unconscious literally, supposedly, they found him unconscious and they had to give him CPR to revive them.

So if that's the case and his condition was really bad, then I guess the question is did John Thune lie, I don't know. I'm just telling you what is being reported and the debates that are out there in social media. And by the way, she is right, there really is no mechanism to replace an alive, but incapacitated

Senator, remember you've got some people out there that are now saying that Mitch McConnell is brain dead. Now it is important to note that none of the networks have come out and said that he is

“a brain dead, Laura Lumer, who, I mean, if you want to call her a credible source, then”

you go ahead, I mean, some people say she's credible. Other people say that she won't, that she isn't. I'll be honest with you. I don't know enough about Laura Lumer to say whether or not she has credibility or not, but I will tell you that the networks don't actually have a lot of credibility with me.

So whatever, but here's the deal is that it's really independent journalists like this Desiree Townsend or Laura Lumer that are saying that Mitch McConnell is brain dead. The networks CBS and BC ABC and so forth, they are not reporting on the condition of Mitch McConnell. And I suppose what they're doing is they are relying on Mitch McConnell's office, maybe

the Senate's office, to keep them updated on McConnell's condition. But you know as well as I do that McConnell's office and the Senate office, they're not necessarily going to be honest about what is going on with Mitch McConnell for whatever reason, but if Mitch McConnell is brain dead and he's, I guess, in a coma, he can live like that for a long time.

So if he is brain dead, if he is incapacitated, then the Senate is going to have to figure out what to do. If he is declared brain dead, then apparently the state of Kentucky could act because basically what it would mean is that he's died. I mean, that's essentially what it would mean.

And listen, I'm telling you, I know that perhaps because I'm talking about the exes and those of politics that I'm sounding not real sensitive to the condition of Mitch McConnell. But all I'm saying is that from an exes and those standpoint, the Republicans in the Senate and the people in Kentucky, the lawmakers in Kentucky, they need to come up with a replacement for Mitch McConnell.

If he is indeed brain dead, and by the way, I hope that he's not.

But here's what happens if he is incapacitated, if he is brain dead, then basically the

governor for Kentucky and he'd be sure a Democrat would choose from a list of three Republicans given to him by the Republican party. So yes, a Democrat would be choosing the next Senator for the state of Kentucky, but it would be from a list from the Republican party. So that is that part of the process by which Mitch McConnell, if he is a deemed brain dead,

would be replaced. But you know, the story goes on, again, there's a lot of weird here. There is the secrecy that is going on with Mitch McConnell.

“There is also, okay, what do the Republicans in the Senate do?”

What do the Republicans in the state of Kentucky do to replace Mitch McConnell if they need it to replace him and when will we find out exactly what his condition is? And is he brain dead?

And ultimately, if it turns out that he is, then we got to know how long he has been in

this condition because we got to figure out if Senate Majority Leader Thune was lying. Here's more. And this story gets even hotter after I reported a couple days ago of a press release documenting

his hospitalization and wait, what, what, what, Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao went to China to meet with China's vice president three days after his hospitalization. Are you kidding? Really? Yeah, that doesn't sound suspicious at all.

That doesn't sound weird, that doesn't sound just wow, of course it does.

“Would you want your spouse three days after being hospitalized to fly off to another country?”

And of all places to China, how are our enemy? Sounds a little weird.

Now remember Elaine Chao, she was transportation secretary under Donald Trump's first

administration, labor secretary under George W. Bush for both terms. So why would Elaine Chao, why would she go to China? Now again, realize this is all over the socials. So I wanted to talk about it. Knowing the China, one of our biggest enemies, so she has said that this trip had been

planned in advance and that she had spoken to the Chinese VP about her family's philanthropic activities. A Chinese officials, though, said the discussions focused on U.S. Chinese relations and cooperation. What? Okay.

Doesn't make a lot of sense, but whatever. Because philanthropic activities realize that is, you know, charitable efforts, that kind of thing. She is not a representative of the United States of America at this point. She doesn't work for the government.

She is a civilian.

So why would she be flying all the way to China three days after her very powerful

“senator husband had a heart attack talking about U.S. Chinese relations with China?”

So that sounds a little bizarre as well. Now when she was questioned about going to China, apparently her office or she said something like, well, his condition wasn't so bad that it would force his wife to cancel the trip, which seems a little strange because literally the man needed CPR. They say that he was found unconscious.

So all of this sounds just a little bizarre. And to be clear, the issue is not merely that Elaine Chao went to China the issue is she is a private citizen. She is, she holds no official government position.

She's married to a sitting U.S. senator who reportedly had a major medical emergency.

And now she's meeting with one of China's highest ranking official three days later. All while the American public impossibly senior U.S. government officials in the Trump administration

“as well as members of Congress lacked clear information about his condition.”

Yep, so we'll have to see what happens. Apparently, by the way, the hill, I don't know if you saw this man. Somebody had a bad day at the hill. So apparently over at the hill, they accidentally posted an article that reported that yes, he is died or gave the indication that he had died.

You know, they do write these things ahead of time. It was almost like a memorandum of his time in the Senate. And they do write these kind of, you know, biographical things ahead of time so that when the time comes when, you know, a Mitch McConnell who, I mean, let's all be honest. The man has not been well three weeks ago, he was reported to have this massive heart attack.

And nobody seen any word of his condition or whatever for, you know, weeks. But when politicians start to get old and then they start writing the, you know, they start writing the obits. They do slow news day start working on somebody's obit. I guarantee a Joe Biden's is already written.

Absolutely. I've been willing to bet the Donald Trump's is already written, even though Trump is in great health. But it's like, yeah, but the hell they just, they, they, they posted, by the way, the funny thing about that was that in huge capital letters, it says, do not use yet somebody

posted it. So I don't know if it was somebody did that on purpose. I don't know if it was some sort of a joke. I don't know, but in Johnson and some of these other influencers had spoken about this.

It was the, the photo was screen-shotted and posted to X ahead of its removal.

It was titled a look back at Mitch McConnell's time in the Senate, but was, again, prefaced by an all-caps warning to site editors saying, do not use yet somebody did. So now where are we with the story?

“Well, what is Mitch McConnell's condition right now?”

We don't seem to know, is he actually brain dead and, and who do you believe? Do you believe Laura Lumer, who claims that she has sources inside the White House? Do you believe this independent journalist? You know, traditionally, the networks are very, a careful when it comes to these kinds of things, and I do understand that, because you don't want to jump the gun on the death

of a long time United States Senator or anyone, quite frankly, but if he is brain dead, then Kentucky, it would appear, can get going on replacing him, why is his wife Elaine Chao in China that is just weird, full of conspiracy there, and did John Foon lie about his condition saying a day or so after he was rushed to the hospital that he was doing great, which some are now saying is untrue.

I had mentioned that John Foon had set on Fox news that he had actually spoken to McConnell a day or so after his hospitalization, somewhere now saying this is a lie.

“Senator McConnell, we're told it was hospitalized, said you heard any word on him?”

I have, I spoke to him yesterday, and he was in good spirits. I mean, he was paying very dialed in, paying attention to what's going on, and indicated that he would be back soon. So there you go, I don't know. I think that people are watching this situation with Mitch McConnell very, very closely.

Drivers must always be prepared for a roadside inspection.

This means drivers should always have their personal vehicle and company credentials organized and ready. The top two violations written against drivers every year are log, general form, and manner, and log, not current. Other completely avoidable if the driver keeps the log accurate, compliant, and current

at all times. Having the vehicle ready for inspection involves the driver conducting daily inspections and making sure any problems that are discovered are immediately corrected. Vehicle readiness also requires the company to make sure that the vehicle is current on all scheduled maintenance and that the maintenance schedule is adequate.

This will make sure the driver is being given a sound vehicle to start with. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and Associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com. Get in touch with Red Eye Radio, toll free at 866 from my D-Red Eye. Tritide Radio 86690 Red Eye is the phone number 869-073339.

All right, now listen. I did not say that Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chow is a spy for the CCP. I did not say that. I know some people are thinking that that's been a rumor that has been out there for a long time.

I didn't say it. I don't believe it. Although some days I'm very suspicious. I'm just saying it.

“So, and here's the thing about Mitch McConnell.”

I hope he's fine. I hope he's OK. I will tell you that Mitch McConnell should have retired long a go.

I mean, when he started and here's the thing, there's actually, I've had fights with fellow

conservatives with fellow Republicans who, when I've had that monologue, when I've said Mitch McConnell needs to retire and this was, by the way, before he started freezing up, people were telling me, you know, to stop talking to, like, no, no, no, if you're a good Republican, you just, we want, we want to protect that, uh, send it see. I do understand that, but listen, if Mitch was starting to slow down, which he was, and

you were going after Biden, when Biden really was slowing down and restart seeing the same thing in Mitch McConnell, well, if you're going to be consistent, then you should have said, yeah, Mitch needs to retire.

I will always have a complicated relationship with this game, but people evolve, total sports.

On my socials at Dan Mendes Show, I'm on primarily X, and also Facebook.

I host a morning show in Nashville, Tennessee, super-talking at night seven, speaking of which, if you want to call great. If you only want to text, as you know, I typically will activate my text line that I use in Nashville for my morning show, so if you can't call, but you want to text, that number is 6157379986, and I just saw this, and I'm just going to play it and then comment

after it. But we all know about the Somali and fraud, right? We all know what happened in Minnesota and how just horribly corrupt, an arrogant, the likes of Governor Tim Waltsarm in Keith Allison, the Attorney General for the State of Minnesota, where they simply allowed all of that Somali and fraud to happen.

Well now, we're getting an updated number as far as how much has actually been stolen from the American taxpayers listened to this. So what we're talking about now is looking across the entire state of Minnesota, because it appears that this fraud ring is being perpetrated across all types of government assistant that is meant for families that are hungry, families that need housing, young children

that need education, and it's being exploited, and look, the fraud is well known, because the Minnesota legislature, an independent oversight committee, called it out years ago, Governor Walts looked the other way, because he was benefiting his constituency, and now it's on the backs of hardworking taxpayers to pay it.

“Yeah, a billion dollars, can you imagine that, a billion dollars?”

I know that you can imagine that, because you'll notice that a lot of this corruption, it is going on in either Minnesota, or of course, a California. Now, you had Tim Walts who was the running mate for Kamala Harris and over there in California, you have Gavin Newsom as the governor, and a lot of that fraud in California. Obviously, also happening under the ever so watchful eye of one Gavin Newsom, and when you look, when you look, and I'm not

going to dwell on this, but when you look at the corruption that is going on has been happening in California, under the ever so watchful eye, I say very cynically of Gavin Newsom, you

think there's a lot of ammunition there. If he did, ultimately decide to run for president,

where, and I'm not purposely using a, you know, the second amendment saying, you know, but I'm, I'm going to say target rich environment, not meaning that, you know, violently,

“but I'm just saying that if you want to go after a politician, one of the first things that”

you do is you have to define your opponent. You have to assign certain things to your opponent. So, if you are, let's just say that you're J.D. Vance, let's just say that you are Marco Rubio, or maybe Ron DeSantis, and you're running for president on the Republican side, and you're opponent in the general is going to be Gavin Newsom. Do you say that Gavin Newsom is corrupt or do you say that Gavin Newsom is incompetent? I say yes, he is both, and his wife is nuts.

environment, you do talk about the fraud in California, you do talk about the fires in California,

“you do talk about the, the incompetence of Gavin Newsom, and the bridge to nowhere, the billions of”

dollars that have been spent on this, this bridge that took is still taking forever to build,

and it basically is a big ol' overpass for animals to walk over. It is the silliest thing,

but these are the kinds of things that are happening in California. You have, of course, the train, the bullet train that was supposed to go from north to south and south to north, and that is taken forever to build as well. You know, a Donald Trump, one said, and I could play some audio from Gavin Newsom, but I just, I don't have anything relevant to her handy, but, you know, what I would say is, you hear Gavin Newsom, and as Donald Trump has said, he's got a slick line of BS, and he really does.

“But the reality is, you only need look at a few issues in California to define the reign”

of one Gavin Newsom. I mean, you could talk most certainly about the homeless issue in California,

where they spent tens of billions of dollars on homelessness in California, only to have the homelessness not only did it increase, they have no idea where that money went, no idea. And then when the state legislature said, hey, you know, we'd like to, I don't know, maybe do an investigation into where that money went, Gavin Newsom said, no. So there's a lot of things that you can look at as far as California goes to really,

it is emblematic of the rule of Gavin Newsom. And so for me, if you ask me, do I want Gavin Newsom and my scared as a conservative and my scared of Gavin Newsom running for the presidency against the J.D. Vance against a Marker Rubio against maybe Ron DeSantis, I'm really not because there's

a lot there. There's a lot to criticize. And ultimately, when you look at the state of the

Democrat party, you know, one of the topics that I'm going to be covering here in a little bit is will the issue of illegal immigration. How prevalent will it be in the midterms? How prevalent

“will it be during the general election in 2028? I think even though we are still focused on”

mass deportation, I think that it will be incredibly relevant. Yeah, even after four years of an incredibly secure border under Donald Trump, do you know why it'll be relevant in 2028? Because the Democrats have broken our trust. So what we're talking about, Somalian fraud, whether we're talking about the homeless fraud in California, where all of those billions of dollars went missing and the homelessness, a problem in California increased. I mean, there's so many ways

in which the Democrats have broken the trust that they had with the vast majority of the American people. How many years, my friends, did the Democrats lie about the border being secure? And see, it was one to the, yeah, four, it was four years. Did they lie about the border being secure a gaslighting the American people? And so whether we are talking about sanctuary cities, whether we're talking about fraud, whether we're talking about the incompetence and the inability

to solve problems, we could talk about the incompetence of the Biden administration, the lies of the Biden administration regarding whether or not Joe Biden was fit for office. I mean, all of that really does lead to a conversation as to whether or not we can trust the Democrat party with anything. And now that they are just cascading towards this, this platform of socialism and communism. And you have Democrats who are looking at this and saying, oh, yeah,

you know what? It's all fine, well, and good. We are a big tent party. We'll welcome anyone into our tent. Really? Because it does seem to me like the Democrats are, I don't think their hearts are into it when they say that they are welcoming socialism into the Democrat party. This is the Democrat governor of Virginia. This is Abigail Spanberger. And she is now quoted as saying

primary victories recently in New York. Now, Colorado have gone to candidates running more progressive agenda. I mean, are you concerned that the left is gaining power in your party?

I'm of the opinion that we are a big tent party. We've always been a big tent party.

“I think they're scared. That's what I think. I think the Democrat party is scared. And so when”

you have an Abigail Spanberger, when you have a Cory Booker, when you have these folks like in Elizabeth Warren, they see the writing on the wall. They see who has the power within their party. And it is these communists. I'll see if I can dig up the polling that I read over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, where there is polling out now that shows that the Republican

party, it does look like and it's not a foregone conclusion. But it does look like we will,

if you're conservative, that we will be able to maintain the house and maintain the Senate. Now, I certainly do hope that that is true. But it turns out that the American people are looking

“at the, are looking at the direction of the Democrat party. And they may be all for the Democrats”

being a big tent party. But if it involves communists and the Democrats, welcoming communists into their, into their party with open arms, I mean, I would fully admit and submit that communism

is far more, and socialism is far more, what's the right way to put this? I joined it the hip

with the Democrats and what they stand for has no place in America. Because all you got to do is look at, and I, this is age-old conversation here on Red Eye. But all you got to do is look at some of the various countries that have tried communism, tried socialism in the, not so disemcast to see the clearly it won't work. So at the end of the day when we are looking at the midterm elections, you look at the fraud in Minnesota, you look at the fraud in the incompetence in California,

you look at the corruption of the, of the Democrat party. And then you look at the rise of socialism in communism in the Democrat party. And people in America are looking at this and most certainly moderates and independents in my opinion are, are looking at what is happening on that side of the aisle, and they don't like what they see. And they're thinking, okay, you know what? At the very least, Donald Trump is trying to get things done. And by the way, coming up later on in the broadcast,

we will also take a look at the latest on the Iran War. 86690 Red Eye is the phone number 8669073339. My text line is open 6157379986, got a lot more up straight ahead. [MUSIC] So when I radio 86690 Red Eye 8669073339 Dan Mandus in for Gary and Eric, they return next Sunday night Monday morning. So there's been a change in the laws in Kentucky. So we're talking about Mitch McConnell

and what is going on with his health. Apparently, it used to be that the Republican party in the state of Kentucky would give the governor three names and the governor then would choose who the senator would be. But apparently now that has changed in 2024. Now according to Grok, I heard from some of my friends in Kentucky. According to Grok, the new laws states that a special election to fill any U.S. Senate vacancy, no gubernatorial appointment is allowed the governor,

issues of proclamation calling the election with the winner serving the remainder of the

“unexpired term. So they say, if Mitch McConnell were declared incapacitated or deceased, remember,”

the story is that he is brain dead. The seat would remain vacant until the special election is held and certified a timelines follow state election code deadlines for filing primaries if needed and voting. Mitch McConnell, his term ends in January, 2027. So timing affects whether a full or abbreviated

in mid June, 2026 is not officially confirmed. The brain dead. We talked about that earlier. The

sour there are in case you're just joining us. There's a lot of rumors out there that Mitch McConnell is a brain dead. You have Laura Loomer out there saying that he has been hospitalized for weeks. And it's not looking good for the Kentucky senator. Others have picked up on the story as well.

“It is important to note that the networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, no one else is reporting on this.”

A couple of influencers that kind of thing are talking about this, but I'm just going to be honest with you. I don't have a lot of faith in the networks these days. They certainly don't want to get this story wrong. So if they're asking either the Senate leaders or Mitch McConnell's office in Kentucky or in Washington, DC, nobody's talking. So we don't know what's going on. And in case you missed the segment in the beginning of this hour, I know Elaine Chao is in China, the

wife of Mitch McConnell. She, three days after he was hospitalized, bizarrely went to go speak to the vice president of a China. Do you know who I would love? And I, this may seem

“unseemly, so I maybe shouldn't do this. But Daniel Cameron is somebody who I believe is an”

incredible conservative and he would do really well if he decided to run for Mitch McConnell soon.

We've talked 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 for Gary McNamara and Eric Hartley. Here is Dan Mendus.

86690 Red Eye is a phone number 8669073339. I appreciate you being here. Gary and Eric, they return.

“Next Sunday night Monday morning, you can always text me if you so choose 6157379986.”

Let it text messages coming in from across the country, always appreciate the communication.

I do try to respond to everyone. So earlier in the broadcast, I was talking about the polling that is out there and how it does look like according to some polling that the Republicans are going to be okay in the midterm elections. This is Harry Anton from CNN. I'm a big fan of Harry Anton, especially when he says things that I like. For example, the 2026 Senate polling, the margins are actually looking really good for the Republicans not so good for the Democrats.

It's just, it's a math problem. It is a math problem. 2026 Senate poll margins. Okay, Democrats need a net gain of four. Okay, you get one in North Carolina. But then if you got a bunch of run on the screen, now these are close races, but you've got a tie in Texas, then it's plus two in Iowa for the Republicans, plus two in Alaska, and then plus three, if we can make the circle there in Ohio. So that gets you one seat, but of course you need four seats, and on this

board, red, red, red, close races, and a tie. You're one. You're not get to fold me. All right, so you've got just, again, throwing a lot of numbers at you, North Carolina. So it looks like they'll get that seat. But Texas, somehow is a tie. Somebody please tell me, and I do understand that Ken Paxton, he does have some history, but I mean, Tala Rico really. There's a tie between Ken Paxton and Tala Rico. And I do understand,

there's a lot of controversy because you had Donald Trump come out, and he endorsed Ken Paxton, John Cornean, is out was out, of course. So that means that the Republicans are really frustrated in the state of Texas, because John Cornean, not necessarily as Trump friendly as the president or a lot of Republicans would like. And so Trump comes out, and he says, "I endorse Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton ends up winning the primary. Now the worry is is that the

Republicans are going to have to spend a lot of money to beat the guy that a lot of people

Calling his campaign a vegan campaign in Texas, which is, of course, a Texas famous for its beef.

“I'm not going to do a deep dive on that on that race right now. But bottom line is that,”

according to Harry Anton, Ohio is plus three for the Republicans. You have Iowa plus two as well. Texas again is a tie. So all told when you add everything together, North Carolina only has one state that is actually plus seven, and that is, again, the state of North Carolina. So, you know, if you listen to Harry Anton, it looks like the Republicans will keep the

Senate. We'll have to see what happens in the House of Representatives. But as I said,

it's going to be very close. I do wonder how the left his bent, the socialist bent of the Democrat party is going to impact the midterm elections. 86690, Red Eye is the phone number 8669073339. There is a lot going on. More allegations against the embattled main Senator Graham Plantner, the Senate candidate, Graham Plantner. Now, this guy, I don't know how it is that the Republicans simply did not see this coming

with Graham Plantner. This guy running as a candidate for the Democrats. Republicans have been on this guy, but now we find out and I'm going to give you all the details. But now I'm going to tell you just how bad the problems are for the Democrats and Graham Plantner. Because now there is a woman that has come out, and she is saying that Graham Plantner actually raped her years ago. This is a former girlfriend. And so now you do have a lot of these, a lot of these Democrats who have endorsed

Plantner. They're now saying that this does go too far, and they are not able to support Plantner

“moving forward. And I think part of the problems that the Democrats have is that they have”

stuck with Plantner for far, far too long. Because this guy has had all kinds of allegations in accusations against him and will get into some of them, the online bullying and bad mouthing of veterans. His, of course, Nazi tattoo, the intimidating volatile and abusive behavior that he has been accused of having towards women, sexting other women while married, homophobic slurs. I could go over and I will go over all of that. And so the Republicans, I mean, they've been

battling Plantner and the Democrats in this race for, you know, a few weeks now, Plantner did win the primary in Maine. And so now, here comes a woman that says that she has, she was raped by Grant Platner. This is from CNN. Here's a man who was drunk and who by dictionary definition raped me and he's blaming drunk women. So I just felt like that was a very odd take to have on that. And I also feel like, with all of the comments that he made about women, sexual assault, rape,

even, you know, the comments that he had made that was in the New York Times article about, you know, threatening people with rape. Like, why does this person have this issue like scattered throughout their life, throughout their commentary? Like, it's on their mind. Why do they have such a strong opinion about women coming forward with allegations? Like, I just feel like this isn't the

first time. Yeah. So for Platner, I mean, this guy, his, he's got a lot of issues. Let's just say that.

“By the way, that is a woman named Rachel Rescott. I think that's how you pronounce her name,”

telling CNN's J. Tapper that absolutely he did rape her. This is from CNN. Rescott's detailed allegations were first reported by political on Monday. She told that outlet over the course of three interviews that Platner forced her to have sex with him against her will in 2021. Platner has vehemently denied the allegations. A Rescott telling political, the Platner was almost black out drunk when the incident took place. Part of his denials have been that the women coming

motivated or, again, as you heard, she was commenting on that the women were drunk. So she is right.

“Remember when he said, according to the New York Times, that another ex-girlfriend came out and said”

that he told her that if a guy ever broke into their home, he would rape that man in a dominating way. He said, not a sexual way. In other words, dude is just weird. Grand Platner is just bizarre. And it seems like he's got this very bizarre and recurring theme of rape in his adult life. Rape and bizarre sexual comments. Remember what he talked about regarding portapies and what they inspired him to do. Again, a very bizarre story. If you don't know what that is, I'll invite

you to go ahead and Google it. If you want, it's not safe for work and it's not also not safe for

Red Eye Radio. But this woman is not the first woman to accuse him of sexual assault or rape.

“She also asked him, Jake Tapper asked her, why are you coming forward now?”

A few reasons. One of the biggest ones is that I think that there are a lot of men in this world relying on the silence of women and to be where they are. And I don't want to contribute to that. I also want to just get my life back. I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious and false allegations against me. All right. So Grand Platner has now come out with a very serious sounding, rib battle and denial to these accusations. Any accusation of non-consensual

behavior is categorically false. Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting,

but mindful of political reality won't affect. We are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins. All right. So, of course Susan Collins is the Republican candidate. And, you know, for Grand Platner, you have a situation where this guy is just, I don't know if I've ever seen. And, you know what, I may be off-base on this. Maybe you folks

can help me, but I don't know if I've ever seen a more trained, rocky political candidate than Grand Platner. Have you? I must be missing somebody somewhere, but you've got all of these Democrats. Now what they're doing is they are rescinding their endorsements because now you have this woman coming out and saying that Grand Platner raped her back in 2021. And, by the way, Jake Tapper asked her, is this politically motivated because that is one of the things that people are

saying. Went toapper again from CNN, went toapper pressure on the potential blowback from a Platner supporters who claimed that she was motivated by politics. She said that she could not disagree more with them and that she wrestled with a huge, moral conflict because she agrees with Platner politically. So, now you have all of these Democrats who have been, you know, on the record is saying, you know, Grand Platner, he's had his journey, right? This is what they do. He's had his

journey, he's had mistakes, he's denied the allegations, he's learned from his mistakes and all of these things that the Democrats have been saying about Grand Platner, but apparently this was too far and clearly when a woman comes out and accuses you of rape and this woman is one of their own a Democrat. Now they're jumping ship. So, again, Ruben Gallego, Senator, says, "Nope, going to withdraw my endorsement, representative, or con of the same thing." Hassan Piker actually

criticized Platner saying that he believed the allegation as well. So, as I said, apparently,

“this is the red line for Democrats. I remember the other allegations over the last several months”

I was talking about this earlier. You did have the Nazi tattoo, you had the intimidating, volatile and abusive behavior towards women that other Democrats have been other women, have been talking about sexting other women while married, homophobic slurs, the online bullying and badmouthing of other veterans as well. So, I mean, this guy, he's got a lot of

was on CNN blasting not only Platner, but the Democrats as well because, and I can't believe

this is the play of the Democrats. Where there actually, there's some Democrats that are saying

“that Grant Platner was actually not vetted. I saw that and I thought, really? Is that your play?”

Come on. All of the things that have been stated, it was all out in the public and people like Rokana, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Tim Walls, the Bullwark, Potsay, America, all these people came together to overlook it all, to explain it all, to rationalize it all. He was vetted, people knew all these things and a whole bunch of Democrats in Maine showed up and voted for him

anyway and a bunch of donors from around the country sent him money anyway. What changed? Why are

you bailing on Grant Platner now? You already signed off on Nazi tattoo, a self-described communist, somebody who's had weight fantasies, somebody who has been on a social media platform, known as a playground for predators and on and on and on and on and on. And the difference between this accuser and the previous one is simply this, she's a liberal. It's okay, I guess, for Democrats, that their candidates assault conservatives, but he broke into someone's house and apparently,

according to her, raped her and because her politics are correct, they can now believe it. Yeah, that was the accusation that he came over to this woman's home late at night and the door was unlocked and he came in and raped her. Again, he denies the allegation. When Scott Jennings you just heard the audio and Scott Jennings said that it's okay that Platner sexually assaulted a conservative, yes, one of the women that made the accusations against Platner was a woman who

would work to actually for the heritage foundation. This is a woman who, again, she is a Democrat and she is the one that is now making these latest accusations against a grand Platner. So this is ugly and you do have the Democrats, they signed off on all of the other things that I mentioned. But now this apparently is too far. And then I do understand that. I'm not making white of these rape accusations against a grand Platner. Previous allegations have been made,

the woman in question, she sounds very credible. She does, she sounds very credible. So when Jennings says what's changed, you know what I think has changed? I think the Democrats just like with Joe Biden

“have now realized that they simply cannot win with grand Platner. I think that's what's happened.”

He's lost a lot of funding as these allegations have continued to come out. He's going to the question now is, is he going to drop out? I assume that he is. I assume that he is. You heard his that denial. You heard when he said that, you know, we're looking at our options and, you know,

well, I think he said basically, well, you know, when we know what our next move is.

But if he's going to drop out, now they've got to decide who to replace him with. The Democrats have to decide who to replace grand Platner with. I just like Joe Biden, they're not going to have a primary in Maine. They'll just vote somebody in. It would appear. So, you know, just like when Joe Biden, the the Democrats decided, well, Biden, we can't win with Joe Biden. We're going to go ahead and install Kamala Harris to replace him in the primary in the election and the Democrats in Maine,

apparently are now going to do the same thing. God, I'd more straight ahead on Red Eye Radio. This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by House Products. Tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920 modernizing the Farm Anchorage reporting process for USDA's Farm Service Agency. I use the word transformative. It is going to be an opportunity for us to really provide better customer service to farmers that annually come in and do an acreage report.

“It's going to be, I think, more accurate, more representative of what's actually happening”

on that farm. Agriculture Department Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation Richard Ford ice says a modernized reporting pilot program is underway for counties within 12 states using digital and geospatial technologies for a more streamlined process for both producers and local USDA Service Center staff with the acreage reporting deadline for both spring planted crops July 15th growers in pilot counties. I'm going to be able to experience the new

of Agriculture in Washington, DC. This report brought to you by Semax Fules and Loops.

Yet in touch with Red Eye Radio, toll free at 866. May be Red Eye. So the question will Graham Platner resign or step down and stop running for the Senate? Well, if he does, then the Democrats have a few weeks to get somebody in there and it's my opinion that what they're going to do is they're going to get a perfectly clean candidate who hasn't had to go through a bruising primary and the Republicans are going to have to do opposition

research on whoever that person is before the general election on November 3rd. So this is a

“situation where I think the Democrats wanted Graham Platner to look as bad as possible so that they”

could get in their squeaky clean candidate and the party will rally around the new candidate. So pretty sneaky by the Democrats we'll see how the whole thing plays out in May. Oh, no. Red Eye Radio app available in the app store. Red. All right. Radio 86690. Red Eye is the phone number 8669073339 if it can't call text 6157379986 bill is calling from Los Angeles bill. How are you? Hey Dan, good hear you out there. Hey, buddy, can we out here in California? We're used to

brain dead politicians. I'm trying to decide if it's too soon bill but that's pretty good. You can steal it as you don't know from. Oh, definitely. He's had a Nashville bill just to let

“you know later on this morning anyway go ahead. Yeah, you mentioned King Gavin and you know the”

fact that he doesn't like being audited when it comes to state funds but he really doesn't like being audited for his own lavish lifestyle and he's going to find out pretty fast when the DOJ starts getting you know, campaigning his paper trail about explaining where all his money comes from and how his wife's little wacky film business contributes possibly to his own finances. It's very strange and that if the L.A. Times that that I used to work for in the '80s and '90s

where had been doing its job they would have stopped this guy. There were so many red flags

long ago with this guy's alleged conflicts of interest. They just dropped a ball and they basically

worked the media work for the government out here but some independent journalists have been looking into his finances and it doesn't look good for King Gavin. Have you seen this story and this came out over the July 4th holiday but according to the New York Post and others the FBI infiltrated Gavin Newsom's inner circle by convincing the governor's ally to where a wire. So the feds have been basically inside and listening and recording all the things that have been going

on inside Gavin Newsom's inner circle. You know it's going to be interesting to see you're going to have a lot of people that are going to say this is a politically motivated hit job or whatever but here's the deal. If he's been doing things that are corrupt we need to know and the American people need to know. Well this investigation started under the Biden administration. It did. Yeah and he's been really defensive and he's been telling more lies than usual

depending that's trying to pin this on Donald Trump. Trump wasn't had nothing to do with this

“investigation. Don't you love that? I mean I just I don't know. For whatever reason I think the”

Gavin Newsom is somebody who is not only corrupt but I do believe that he is dumb as a stump and I think that if they find anything if they find anything then I think the Democrats are going to be hard pressed to find another really good candidate for president because I mean is bad as I think Gavin Newsom is. I believe that he is better than Kamala Harris and I don't know outside of Kamala

have Josh Shapiro. I think if you're just going to look at the two I think there's a lot of people

“that will say that Josh Shapiro won't work because he's Jewish and that leaves Pete Buttigieg.”

I don't know what what do you think between between those three you've got a Kamala Harris you've got Josh Shapiro and you've got Pete Buttigieg who do you believe would be the the best candidate for the Democrats? You know that that is really a bad choice all the way around and when any of these people start talking you realize that like in the case of Kamala Harris she she she she cannot put a sentence together and she just she just others nonsense

whereas Gavin just lies to your face and acts like you're supposed to believe them so he

eats a total snake that you just know he's fake and and Buttigieg to me is it's just uh his own tenure as what transportation secretary was a disaster and he comes from a really limited government background he's he's got nothing he's just and he's just weird so uh you know

“I think the bottom line Dan in here so I don't get this is why I feel good about the midterms”

I just got a thousand dollar refund from the IRS thanks to the Republicans and Trump's big beautiful bill and I think a lot of people got that for various reasons in my case it was

a social security not so it was senior uh deduction and that's the kind of thing that people ought

to ask themselves who's given me more of my money back the Republicans or these crazy Democrats and all their wacky ideas it's just to me it's a no-brainer what if the Democrats ever done except give us they're the ones who got us into this financial mess with affordability with the 9% inflation under Biden all all the ridiculous spending for all these transgender programs the Democrats got us into this not to mention California's own gas prices

that are totally out of sync with the rest of the country thanks to Gavin Newsom and all these weird taxes and Biden stopped our energy production you can think the Democrats for any affordability problems that Trump is trying to solve and it's not going to be solved overnight but he's doing a damn good job in the interim one of the things and and I appreciate the call bill one of the things that I did on my local show in Nashville is and Bill did mention his tax return you got

a thousand bucks back awesome so I asked my my audience in Nashville how did you do on your income taxes this year did you get a refund thanks to you know the big beautiful bill and the tax cuts and all that kind of stuff and and how did you make out and I would say 80% of the people that listened to me in Nashville they actually were very happy with their refund and and I I love that so my question to nationally for the listeners here of Red Eye Radio how did you do on your income

“taxes this year did you get money back I remember Scott Bessant Treasury secretary Scott Bessant”

and Donald Trump both saying that people are going to get a lot more money back with their income tax returns and people are going to be really happy I had a lot of people that said yeah we're thrilled with the check that we got back others not so much so I want to know I go ahead and text me if you will 615737 9986 text me how you did on your income tax returns did you get more money back as promised or was it not what you thought it would be if you also went hit me up on x you can send

me a private message or you can just you know post on my feed and send me a message or whatever let me know how you did I did okay as a matter of fact so in my house we did great and again a lot of the people that I spoke with or that contacted me said they were very happy as well you heard bill also talking about the ramifications of Joe Biden's tenure the four years that he was in office you know the ramifications of Biden's open border policies continue is it's like every

day at least once every couple of days you see a story where the consequences of Joe Biden's policies are being felt by the American people regarding again Joe Biden's open border policies so I want to remind you of a couple of stories from the last couple of days one was this story a new federal reserve working paper found the record surge of immigration of illegal immigrants during the Biden administration triggered higher home prices and rents now we remember

up meaning that home prices did skyrocket rents skyrocketed as well because there is more competition

for housing yet all these illegal aliens coming in they had to live somewhere the findings arrive as immigration remains a polarizing political issue Republicans argue former president Joe Biden's border policies strained housing and public resources while Democrats say immigration helped ease labor shortages and supported economic growth their wrong Republicans are right here the economists estimate unauthorized immigrant worker flows accounted for about 30% of employment growth

roughly 30% of home price growth as well and about 20% of rent growth in the average metropolitan area between March of 2021 and March of 2024 so when you have these stories that are out there and people say that a Joe Biden put illegal aliens in the Democrat party put illegal aliens over the face of the American people that is yet another example where the prices that you and I paid for homes in rent and so forth went up because the illegal aliens were coming in

and taking some of the housing it's all about it's all about how much housing is available so there's that part of the story that has come out in the last couple of days then we have because

“remember these are all stories that reminding us that reminding us of the consequences of Joe Biden's”

four years in office you also have the story out of Pennsylvania we did talk about this last night about that stay trooper that was killed by that Haitian illegal alien who was flown in by the Biden administration during his massive expansion of the parole program so you have that as well now last week we had the story of the mother of Sheridan Gorman Jess Gorman who blasted the Democrats during testimony on Capitol Hill do you remember this it was incredibly impactful

I don't understand why it's only the Republican side that cares about our American children

and I know that you're a mother I know that you're a father I deeply value that but basically what

you just did what you said was I'm so sorry for your loss I have a daughter too I have a son I I feel your pain you don't you know for my pain because the next person out of your mouth will but there's no but when your child doesn't coffin there's no but and I need you to understand that and if you ever want to talk about it I'm here I'm gonna buy you a bench I'm gonna buy you put that on the record I'm gonna buy Congress the bench and they can come and sit and hold my hand

“and look me in the eye and explain to me why illegal immigrants are more important than my daughter”

very impactful and Joe Biden knew well theoretically knew the consequences of those open borders whether it was the consequences on real estate market or the consequences on the American people by the way Sheridan Gorman would have been 19 years old on July 6th yesterday depending on where you are but yeah July 6th she would have been 19 years old however she was shot and killed walking down the streets of Chicago by an illegal alien so that was this mother's point the

Democrats time and again have put illegal aliens in front of American citizens why were we paying more money in housing so that the Democrats could bring in all of these illegal aliens well number of reasons to backfill their cities you know people are leaving cities you just heard bill people are leaving these Democrats run cities in droves and so what they're doing is they're bringing in illegal aliens so that they have congressional representation in the house of

representatives there is that so that they could also another reason they could pass their own

“legislation to allow illegal aliens to vote at the national level that's what the Democrats want to”

do expand the number of people that vote in our elections to illegal aliens as well then the millions that they let in would keep them in power I mean these are all things that the Democrats have literally stated that they want to do time and time again got a lot more straight ahead on

radio for 250 years Americans have believed in one powerful idea that we were meant to live free free to

living free well I was there at one point I'll tell you I know what it's like my pain my lower back

“especially but just aging years of running really took its toll on my lower back and sometimes”

I wasn't living freely I was sitting on the sidelines really factor changed it all for me they gave me some to try and I'm telling you it's made a difference in my life and I'm back to being as active as I want to be now I can't make excuses anymore that's the one thing but I love it and relief factor can work for you we're talking about 100% drug free research based formula
