08-05-26 Part Two - A Close Call in Michigan

Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything from

“politics to social issues and news of the day, whether you're up late or you're just”

starting your day. Welcome to the show from the Relief Factor Studios. This is Red Eye Radio. All across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara, Eric has the morning off. He's under the weather. Wow, look at this. My hometown where I was born and raised has made the news again. A Buffalo New York music venue said it has borrowed a DJ from performing again after it's said the we are Charlie Kirk Memesong was played in a parent gest. In a Facebook

statement posted Sunday, live music bar Nietzsche said it only learned about the incident after it circulated on social media. The venue said the artist and promoter described the incident

“as a joke. It apologized to the patrons of the content to not reflect its values and announced”

a DJ responsible would not be invited back. We want to apologize for a moment that occurred during the show at Nietzsche's last weekend involving a we are Charlie Kirk Memes that we just became aware of. The social media, the venue said in a post on Facebook after speaking with their artist and promoter we understand it was intended in just, but it's not something that has any place at Nietzsche's. The bar in lounge continued. We want to reaffirm that Nietzsche's is

and always has been a place of acceptance, respect and community. We recognize that this moment

to not reflect those values and when we sincerely apologize to anyone who made it was made to feel unwelcome or hurt the DJ who included this content will not be performing at the club again. We appreciate everyone who brought this to our attention and will continue working to ensure Nietzsche's remains a welcoming place for all. I've never heard this song. I mean, but I know Nietzsche's used to go in there a lot in the late 80s, early 90s. Great bands.

Maybe not the best place to see a live show but I saw some great shows there. It's a building that's, it's more long than it is wide. But it's, but it seems some great bands

“or I think the last band I saw there. I'm going to get to the last band I saw there had to”

be in the mid 90s, maybe. I believe the name was a great band. Marvelous sauce.

But I saw that when I went, "Okay, that's cool." It was always a cool place.

And I will say this here in the very competitive bar business. When you're bringing in bands, the last thing you want to do is alienate half of your, your possible. Well, I won't say half the audience. It may not be half the audience, but a significant portion of your audience. And then I commend them for doing it saying, "No, sorry. We don't do this. We don't get involved in politics. We flame music." And that's cool. But I guess if DJs here and I went there,

I don't know. Maybe it's a DJ during the set of, you know, if a band's playing, then the DJ playing during the set. Maybe that's the case. I don't know. But I saw that and went, "Oh, wow." Cool club, though. I mean, it used to, like I said, used to bring in some great bands. All right, quickly, let's just want to do a quick update. See, what's going on in the Michigan Democratic primary if Rue Claire politics has announced a winery yet.

93% of the vote in. Now, say it up by 1.7. Really be interesting if they do exit polls. And I don't know if they do any media outlet does exit polls on a primary like this. But it'd be interesting to see if anybody can analyze why L Said was up by 10.5 points. And if he wins it by a point and a half, then why was almost every poll majorly off in this particular primary race. So, uh, yeah, still okay. Just want to make sure it's still the same there.

Interesting because on CNN, of course, they were talking about it last night and that race in particular. And I'm going to make sure I got it. Let's get to some of the comments that

he's going into the general with a very fractured coalition. This is going to be a competitive race

“Michigan is a purple state. There are coalitions and cohorts within that state that you must”

gravitate galvanize in order to get across the finish line. And someone with extreme far-left positions, someone who doesn't believe Israel has a right to exist. A van said he hopes he's he pivots, but yet Hassan Piker is with him tonight. A guy who said the United States deserves September 11th. And these are the types of people he's bringing on to his coalition. I am just not convinced Caitlin that that's the type of messaging that will permeate and and get enough

Democrats, particularly those modern, particularly those who don't have a college degree, particularly those older African Americans to say, this is going to be my candidate. They want a fighter, not a disruptor who's going to burn it all down. And that's who this guy is. No, he's not. Yeah, he is. L Said is, yes, he's somebody who, like they all do, they want to

burn it all down. Come on. It's like, it's just amazing. You're with Hassan Piker on the campaign

night. You want to blow it all up. I don't care what you say. If you're with him, you want to blow it all up. You know, he was, uh, Piker was wearing the, the, the Chinese communist uniform almost when he was speaking to the college Democrats a couple of weeks ago, we played some of that audio, uh, from him. He wants to blow it all up. They want to blow it all up. And again, I love the Democrats that will say, well, we don't want to blow it all up, but we're just a big 10 party. We

can't be a big 10 party when the, the big tent is created by people who want to blow it all up and you're saying that's okay. That's where they are right now. Wow. Just crazy. What a crazy, what a crazy day. Really, crazy day. The US soccer podcast. I knew it was Megan Klingerberg and after interviewing so many dudes during this men's world cup. I'm so happy to be back with my

“U.S. one Zash team players. I know the US men's national team has changed how I think about myself,”

how I think about being an American, how I think about being on a team. It's one year out from that world cup and we're going to talk about the brightest prospects in U.S. soccer. Are you ready? It looks good. The U.S. soccer podcast presented by Henkel, and listen on your favorite platform. In other news, uh, this was a duh. This is going to happen. It's a reading from Jonathan Turley on X from yesterday. A U.S. District judge just issued a preliminary injunction stating what we all

know. New York cannot dictate what federal law enforcement wears from masks to identification, under the Constitution, Democrats continue to burn money with these unconstitutional measures. New California to the exact same thing. And he references an article that he put out in February of this year goes California governor Gavin Newsom has become increasingly or well-earned in his declarations of success last week. Newsom was proclaiming the great success

of his high-speed rail train to nowhere are project delayed by decades reduced to a fraction of the original plan. This week he was proclaiming victory after court struck down his signature law requiring federal agents to unmask the preliminary injunction issued Monday, uh, against California's no secret police act was a victory for the Trump administration. However, it should still appeal judge Snyder's flawed decision. In other words, the administration won for the wrong reason,

and he goes through all of it. But it's the case that they keep blowing money on this stuff. They keep blowing money on things that, you know, they, uh, they're not going to win. The other thing was, there was an editorial that I want to make sure here it is, because this

actually a couple days old we never got to it since we just talked about Newsom here.

“Who has more sway in California's Democratic Party rank and file to term golden state governor Gavin Newsom?”

Our socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, apparently the answer is Sanders as a state party on Sunday endorsed the wealth tax on the November ballot. Mr. Newsom has come out against the one-time 5% tax on the net worth of California residents with more than a million dollars in wealth on the grounds it would cause top earners to flee. He's joined, look at this now.

of revenue for schools and other programs. On the other side, the health care workers,

which spearheaded the ballot measure claims it would raise a hundred billion. 90% of the revenue

would go to health care, namely Medicaid, Mr. Sanders and the teamsters are on board, mainly to stick it to billionaires, uh, energy and optimism, excuse me, energy and opinion among Democrats appear to be on their side, a public policy Institute of California poll and may, found 54% of likely voters support the initiative, including 76% of Democrats.

“Remember as we have said, whether you look at the science Stevens race in Michigan or”

you look at what's going on in California, even, you know, even if Stevens wins, it's basically

a 50/50 thing, uh, in, in, in Michigan means half of Democrats want to complete insane nut case

who hangs around with the complete insane nut case as their senator. Understand this is, it's driven by the, the, the, the, the democratic party, but you got half at least half and in some cases more than half of Democrat voters that want this that are going to the polls. A large reason for the support is the proponents misleading advertising, which Mr. Newsom has echoed in his criticisms of the GOP's Medicaid 20, uh, 25 reforms,

proponents say without evidence massive federal health care cuts are driving California towards a health care collapse and the wealth tax is needed to keep hospitals and ER's open. Is that true? No. California's federal Medicaid payments have increased 14% over the last year. Health care is among the only industries in the state adding jobs. Progressives hope the California's wealth tax will ship the tax possibilities in the party.

If it passes, you can be sure there will be a major push to make a wealth tax part of the party's 2028 national platform. Mr. Newsom has endorsed a national wealth tax as a way to blunt progressive criticism for him opposing the ballot initiative and get ahead of the party stampede to the left, but in joining with the herd, he may get trampled anyway. Look, it's the same, we've explained this over and over again. It's the same as health care. It's the same concept

of nationalizing health care. What you have here, number one, it's based on a lie that they're losing Medicaid funding in or not. It went up 14.6%. That's fact. That's not made up. The proponents of the wealth tax are lying. You're not the hospitals that are closed down. You're in hospitals, hospitals, schools, everything's going to close down. So the public jumps up and says, yeah, let's tax the billionaires. The billionaires leave.

“You get less funding. Well, that's a problem. And that's why then we need to have a”

national well tax and nobody can get away. It's the same concept on a different topic with health care. California, Vermont, Colorado, all had the opportunity to have state government health care provided by the state. None of them did it. Why not? They'd have to pay for it themselves. They don't want to pay for what they want. They know if the federal government does it, they can borrow from future generations. They will get the free health care paid for by their

children, their grandchildren and their great grandchildren because a federal government can go into debt in order to do this. It's greed and selfishness. That's what it is. Gavin Newsom understands the Democrats, live and breathe on selfishness and their greed.

But they're happy. They're saying, hey, if somebody legitimately makes a billion dollars,

“they're greedy. We wanting part of that. And that's why they demonize billionaires.”

And that's why they try to make the cases Bernie Sanders did that billionaires are the

life or not. None zero. They're trying to make the case. It's since they have a billion dollars

“and you don't, something wrong is happening. Not the fact that they created wealth that did not”

exist before that is now the vast majority of it in stocks, which fuel American industry, they're trying to make the case that, well, the billionaires have this money and they're just hiding it in their mattresses and you could have some of that money. envy, jealousy, greed, and selfishness is what drives liberals. They want somebody else to pay for what they want. Every example shows

you it, including New York City with Mendooney, same thing. Well, we can't pay for it ourselves.

We have to increase the corporate tax all across New York State. We need more taxes across

“New York State to pay for what New York City wants. We can't pay for it ourselves.”

And they can only justify it through demonizing those who have created legitimate wealth and demonize them as if if you're a billionaire you've done something wrong and you becoming a billionaire has made the people that are in poverty in that situation that you're responsible for it.

That's the message are trying to sell and it's completely and totally false. But in order to make

liberals feel pretty good, well, I'm not really selfish or greedy or envy or jealous because I'm being told they did something wrong and therefore I deserve it because they did something wrong.

“I'm not greedy. I'm not selfish. I'm not envious. I'm not jealous. I just want things to be fair.”

But to be us. We are Red Eye Radio. Brought to you by FPPF Fuel Power Max. Independence with carrier authority should be mindful than negotiations strength varies as the weak progresses. Typically, the highest rates across major segments are paid for loads and negotiated on Sundays and the highest volume of loads for all segments is seen on Mondays. Also, the weekday tends to be the best for flatbed negotiations,

yielding the best rates. Owner operators tend to have less negotiations strength on Tuesday, which shows the lowest weekday spread between brokers' offer grades and actual paid rates. Broker offers tens of rise by Wednesday as the end of the week is in sight. This day also seems optimal for the three o'clock hustle. So called for its reliance on that afternoon time of day, when brokers are getting nervous, to improve negotiation strength. Stay mindful of this

Here when I read you, these are Honey and I'm Gary McNamara. All right, looking at the Michigan Democratic Senate race, L. Sayed, a 48.8% just even 47.1%. So 1.7% right now with 94% of the vote in and still not a declared winner on real clear politics. We'll keep you updated. [Music]

On Air Website, when I read you, Shell Rotella, Shell Info with stations, podcasts, and more, Red Eye Radio. We are when I read you. I'm Gary McNamara Eric has the morning off. He's under the weather.

For you, well before we get to the, though, just first off from CBS News, I mean, it's just the whole reflecting pool is just so stupid. But top federal prosecutor in the nation's capital, Carter to Box full of evidence to the White House on Monday and a bid to prove to President Trump that the damage to the reflecting pool was caused by shoty construction and not by vandals, sources with the familiar with the matter told CBS News on Tuesday, US attorney for DC,

Janine Piero, a staunch ally of the president made the case. And sometimes he did private meeting in the Oval Office on Monday, hours after Mr. Trump had publicly rebuked her for dropping criminal charges against the Olympic former Olympic canoeist David Hurn. Even was asked a question yesterday.

“I think it was in Vegas. As a question, so he hasn't determined about Janine Piero.”

You notice you don't have anyone. There's no Republican cheering the president's position on this.

He lost. I never thought something like the reflecting pool is where the president lost got

Janine's. And he lost in the other day passionately on this particular issue. The president, whether it comes to, I think the president this past weekend when he went to the entire thing of the parameters of a deal and the people that are negotiating for us. Other countries negotiating basically on this. And then he said, you know, the parameters have been met. And then they continue to attack shipping the president lost his base there. It's not going to

“help him with this Janine Piero thing at all. And then the president was out there the last couple”

of days saying that all, you know, that the polls show because he's saying the polling doesn't show that I'm in trouble. The polling showing, I've got the best polling ever.

My polling has never been better. Well, everybody was questioning that yesterday even Republican

pollsters because his polling is not better. And the president's being caught now, the president is now in a place where I would never that I don't ever want him to be. But it's of his own doing. You're saying things that are self-evident to people that are not true. It's why Biden lost. Don't do that. He was also come out and said the economy. This is the best economy ever. Nobody knows what figures he is using to say that. We pay a lot of attention to the

Republican and Trump influencers on social media who over the last month have gone almost completely quiet. They're gone. They're not there. They're the president's cheerleaders. They're not there. You very rarely. And by the way, I'm not in it's all part of politics. You have cheerleaders.

I'm not against the cheerleading of it. I don't view it as the cheerleaders are always

being truthful. They will cheer their party and their president because that's their job. When they stop, it means they realize it's not a winning situation for them anymore. And that's where the president is right now on all of this. This was on this is General Jack King. Excuse me. On Fox News yesterday morning talking about the situation in Iran right now. Things to unpack here. Number one is the mediators. It is well known in the Middle East region,

by our intelligence services, by older players, that the Pakistanis and the Qataris are compromised because they favor Iran at the expense of the United States. This is historical. This is not new.

“And yet they're the mediators. So their influence here, I think, has played a part in misleading”

the United States in terms of Iran's real intentions. The second thing our allies and partners led by Saudi Arabia. Let us point out and remind the audience here that when we were going to

the use of their air space and also told the president and the scourge in from doing it because

if they thought the operation would fail because they knew nothing about the details of that operation or they qualified to make that kind of an assumption. And what the Saudis are doing here is for the fourth time they have influenced the president. One is on the straits removed two other times. It's well known that he was close to going back to major combat operations and they talked him as well as other allies in the region down from doing that and let's try to make a deal.

That is what it's going on here. So what's going on with the Saudis that the fact in a matter is

the Saudis are not willing to sacrifice to rid the Middle East region of Iran's aggression.

That is the absolute fact that we're seeing and playing out here. What do I mean by sacrifice casualties and the damage to some of their oil reserves? That's the reality that's taken place here. They're willing for us to make that sacrifice for sure. They're willing for Israel to make that sacrifice for sure. That's despite the fact that they've been under nuclear and security on brothers since World War II, despite the fact that the United States let a coalition

to stop Saudis saying from taking Saudi oil fields after they took the Kuwaiti oil fields and we liberated them. Despite the fact that after the Saudi government killed Kosoji Trump administration sawing wild rust them for that but still maintain a relationship with

“this kingdom and I think this is shameful that they lack the spine to stand up for their people”

and for the region here and support the president on what has taken place. There you go. But the bottom line is you can say shame on the Saudis, the Qataris, Pakistanis, but it's the president you're saying the president is buying is playing a fool as the president has said about Iran. The president has said they're playing us like fools, which means they're playing me like a fool and he said that over a month ago and I think it's Jim Garrett he said yesterday

never have I seen a president over and over again basically admit they're playing me and every

single every couple of days we go through this with their they're playing me they're playing me they're playing me but don't let them play you and in this case yeah you can blame Saudi but it's the president who is listening to them and that's a problem. You've got to connect the dots all the way to the end. Where does the buck stop? Does Saudi Arabia make decisions for us? Do the Qataris make decisions for us? Do the Pakistanis make decisions for us? Or should it be the

president of the United States making decisions based on our best self interest about what we should do here? And why do you have such a great trust in them? Like I said when it came out yesterday when he said he didn't say he wasn't well to implicitists. The Iranians are duplicitous. It was almost

“as if he was completely naive and just entered this now. That's how it came across. I know he's not”

and the question is then why is he acting that way? I do want to play just a little bit more of Steven A Smith. Steven A Smith went after the Minnesota Links Head Coach. Cheryl Reeve for wearing the trans kids belong and he just went we played part of it last hour and I wanted to play more of it now because he's just he's going ballistic and just said you know to demonize that rally gains. Sophie County and him none of them done anything wrong nothing they haven't done

one thing wrong they're not against anything they're pro they're pro girls be able to compete with girls and he went through football and then and tennis and just every single sport and just said when they can't compete here we go here's more of it. Like a Sophie cut in him like a rally gate our scorches at earth. You are Cheryl Reeve the head coach at a Minnesota Links. That is an irresponsible thing to do. You are a see our coach for a female basketball team. Do you not think

“that the females are being screwed over if they have to compete against a individual born as a male?”

Were you talking about? Were you talking about? You trying to tell me that a college player for the men's at a college program anywhere in the country. One NBA player should transition

program. Whether you con South Carolina, Iowa, Tennessee or wherever else you want to come up with.

What the hell are you talking about? It's not true it is false AJ debonsa not to throw his name out there Darren Peterson. How? Pick a scroll. Me. If you're a male and transition in the female,

“you should be playing against a women. Nobody said you can't transition from male to female.”

The issue here is competing against a women. That's what Sophie cut in hand was talking about. That's what Raleigh Gaines is talking about. How are you co-chair Reeve and you click or don't that? And then you go come out with a t-shirt. No it got for the WNBA. No it got for the sponsors

that may be put off by that. No it got for the bottom line that might be affected because of

a position that she has taken that you know is going to be politicized because that's what you did. No it got for that whatsoever. And he just continued and then he got into cursing.

“But I wanted to play that part of it. As we brought you the most beautiful thing is”

the hypocritical thing as we played you the podcast that she was on the Minnesota Lings head coach. Sure Reeve where she was talking about the fact that we've got to keep men on the women's positions of coaches in the WNBA. Oh and then it was they were being blasted yesterday because there's a French, French trans woman playing in the women's league and just dominating and saying this person's this biological male is available to the WNBA. He can play in the WNBA. Why don't

you draft him? And by the way the WNBA says this is the best part that they are a league for women. But they haven't defined what a woman is. We're dealing with children! Is there a said yesterday? Just stick to here's a ball put ball in basket. It's like a Phil Hartman was a caveman lawyer. I'm not familiar with your fancy ideas or whatever. Just put ball in basket dribble down court put ball in basket rebound. Stay out of everything else because

you're a bunch of idiots. We are Red I radio. We'll be right back with more Red I radio with Eric Horley and Gary McNamara. We're Red I radio! I'm Gary McNamara hopefully Eric's back tomorrow. He's out sick with a fever. All right looking at the Michigan Democratic Senate race still a no no projection of a winner 95% of the vote in and it's tightening up more. Elsayed up 48.7%

“to Stevens 47.3% it's now a 1.4% race. Earlier around in the night I think he was even up by”

six or seven but they still have not called it at this point. By the way another story here another women's sports story. There are accusations of padded bras being used for an aerodynamic advantage taking the cycling world by storm as the tour to France women's race takes place

across Switzerland and France the controversy is heating up just as a third stage resulted in the

longest solo breakaway victory in the races history. Although it should be mentioned that there's currently no indication that a padded bra played any part in that. I have a solution to the padded bra problem in the women's tour to France have all men race instead of women. Right? Wow! Unless her friend Castanza you'd have to watch Seinfeld to understand that

Mike Trott hosted by former Navy SEAL Mike Ridi. What is your take was it what you expected?

“How is the best thing ever? It was something I always wanted to do.”

If you've shown me a clear goal, I'm like okay I can do that. Master chief he's like you

realize it's about 1% chance that you're making a 3% 1% that's all I need Master chief.

“My普通 went home early and I just went up to my chief and I was like I'm not doing all.”

Turns out I'm scared that's when we go to war. I was like okay I could get used to this.
