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 Factory Studios. This is Red Eye Radio. All across America, we are Red Eye Radio.

1:03Good morning. Hello to those in the Central Time Zone and Eastern Time Zone. And good evening to those Rocky Mountain and West Coast. That's right. How's everybody doing? You know, on yesterday's show, when we were talking about the Democrats are attempting to make their party. This is, this is because of their own words. This is not an acutely, we are not accusing them of being stupid, but it's what they're attempting to promote, because we don't believe they're stupid. But they're attempting to promote the fact that, hey, we know the people that vote for us are idiots, but we're idiots too. We're stupid too. And it goes back to a couple of weeks ago. There's been a bunch of instances, but it all started when Gavin Newsom said, I don't know how to get a social security card, but I'm as stupid as you.

2:03I don't even know where my first certificate is. And Bernie Sanders is the same thing. I don't know how to find it. We didn't remind him probably the, the records department in the city of Moscow probably has that. Right. But, and so we've been bringing up all these instances of them now promoting the fact. And we think one of the reasons is, especially on voter ID, because voter ID is so huge. And they realize, you know, I saw a guy yesterday on X, just when he went, it was a black gentleman, just went bonkers at this, at the whole thing, just saying, you know, how dare you? How dare you do this? You know, the racism of the Democratic Party is what he was talking about. And it was fascinating to reason. Here it is. Chuck Schumer. The Save Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people.

3:04And this guy writes, go F yourself, Senator. As a black man, go F yourself. Especially when I know you're attempting to triangulate black people into giving third world illegals voting rights. So that your party can stay in power forever and ever, you're an evil man. There you go. And the point that he writes, you're trying to triangulate black people into giving a legal immigrant's voting rights. And you're attempting to use racism as a way to do that. Yeah, of course. And I thought, by the way, something they've been doing for a long time, you know, this is something they have been doing. Again, it's part of, it really is the core of identity politics. It is the burning.

4:08You're not capable of making it. You'll never make it because the billionaires and the billionaires and the, he used to say millionaires and billionaires. But now that he's a millionaire, he hardly ever says millionaires. Now that he has the latest three homes. That's right. Why does anybody need three homes? I don't know. Bernie was one saying we don't need 54, 54 different deodorant brands. Right. You know, that's, that's a waste of, we could take that capital and we could have the government do this blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, you got three homes. Nobody needs three homes. Right. Exactly. Why don't liberals hold him accountable for having three homes? Right. And, and here's to private jet on the no oligarchy tour. Right. And where his, where has, has his money come from? His money has come from the capitalist system telling you that capitalism doesn't work in the books that he's written. That's right. And oligarchs. And oligarchs. Actual oligarchs from Russia.

5:10They can do it. We'll do it too. This is the basis of the playbook of identity politics. Use minorities as the leverage. And, and the reason they need to create more and more victims, you're a victim because of this. You belong in this group and now subgroup and now new subgroup and now new subgroup, more and more victims every day. And as they create more victims, then by default, they create more oppressors. But that's, that's why I believe, as I said yesterday, I sense this is a first indication that they're realizing that the way to get around that is to say, well, everybody's an oppressor. Everyone's now an oppressor of us stupid people because they won't take care of us stupid people. And we're the stupid party for stupid people.

6:10And you're not just stupid if you vote for us. You're not just not an idiot who cannot do the average things and an average person can do in society. But we are also complete idiots and morons. And we don't know how to run our own lives. And so we need the government to take care of us from the oppressors, which are all Republicans who talk more about, well, you're the one that determines whether you're a success in your life or not. Well, we can't be a success in life because we're a bunch of idiots. I'm an idiot. I'm Gavin Newsom. I'm an idiot. I'm Bernie Sanders. I'm an idiot. And we're the leaders of idiots. Yeah. That's what they're into. That's what they were doing attempting to sell. Now, the reason I bring this up is because of everything that went on at CNN the last 48 hours and then Abby Phillips. Now, one of the things is I, you know, we, we talk about, you know, the Scott Jennings things and when stuff like that goes viral. But the show isn't doing that well overall. I mean, I think one of the problems is what you have is Republicans arguing Democrats.

7:14It's not conservative versus liberal. It's Democrats, you know, going against Republicans. Personally, I don't, to me, that doesn't do anything for me. I want to hear the discussion of the ideas and people telling the truth. If you can't defend Trump and you attempt to do it, it looks weak. Right. If it's obvious that Trump is wrong and something, but the majority of what they do is they, they put out ridiculous things defending the Democratic Party, which is why they've lost so much of an audience because as we said, the worst thing you can do in politics is start defending something where people are self-aware and they know what's going on and you're telling them that what is actually out there and what they know to be true is not true. But Abby Phillips to me and I, I think I said this in the last month. I believe it was on the air. I say that because we're always. The show continues to continue the air all the time. More expletives, but it continues off the air.

8:15But with everything with that, I thought about this yesterday. I went, you know something. She's another one of them that comes from the point that I'm an idiot too and I don't know what's going on. So I'll always question things with the bias that the Republicans are wrong and the Democrats are right. Look, this is the, this is the MO, it's, if you think about it, it's kind of out of the Clinton playbook, both Clintons, Bill and Hillary. Live, I don't remember or I saw it, but I wish I hadn't and it's, you know, well, I don't know. I'm stupid. It really is the same spirit of the Clintons because at the end of it, you don't have to own up to anything, but you also get to, they think from their mindset. They're not getting away with it, but they think they're getting away with, well, you know, the people were stupid. Let's just play stupid. Let's be one of them.

9:17Well, it's one of the common folk. You can throw Obama in, remember, gay marriage. Oh, yeah. I'm grappling over it. Everybody knew that was a line of, you know, horse manure. Right. We all knew it. Right. And, but, but it was almost like, you know, I, I'm just like you. Right. And then they realized I have, I had college debt when I started as president. I'm, I'm just like you, but they didn't go far enough and now it's to the point where, well, not only are we like you who vote for us, but yeah, we've always assumed you're a bunch of idiots who will believe anything and you're just stupid. And now we're stupid. Yeah. We're the leaders. Yeah. We're the stupid leaders of the stupid people. That's right. Because we don't even know where to get our birth certificate. But Abby Phillips, I think does the same thing. But what you saw at CNN over the last 48 hours is totally indicative of what we have said for the longest time, which we have said they're not journalists or political activists.

10:21Yeah. And this was what Abby Phillips said the other day about the, the, the bomb throwers in New York City. Here we go. Got it. Okay. I'm Donnie. After an attempted terror attack against New York's mayor, Zorn, I'm Donnie. And then she came out and said to correct something that I said last night. The bomb thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS-inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protesters and not specifically targeted at Mandonnie. That wording was inaccurate. And I didn't catch it ahead of time. I apologize for the error. What do you mean you didn't catch it ahead of time? What do you mean? You're wording. Yeah. You said it. It's, it's your wording. Have you pre-approved what you have said so far today? No. We need to, in fact, I need to pre-approved. I would recommend nobody. I would recommend nobody. I would recommend nobody approves anything, I say. But it was interesting because you had, that was one of the stories, the steak and lobster

11:24story, like trying to make it sound like Hegseth was, you know, eating steak and lobster. Right. And, and we'll get, you know, Paul Begalla, I always talk about Paul Begalla, complete idiot. I never forget one of my first interviews when I got hired at WBAP locally here. And we had the Philadelphia Convention for the Republicans. And he was a guest and he had no idea how the school lunch program worked. I'll never forget because that's when I was new to the station and that was really what gave me the stamp. And I wasn't attempting to, I didn't know what he was going to say when I went out. And my goal was not to embarrass him, but I said, you don't even know how the school lunch program works. You're on my show. You're, you're one of the lead Democrats out there and you don't even have a clue how it works. He was angry. Well, there's many things. No, you're talking about it as if you're an expert. You don't have a clue. Right. And I will say this. I did beat. I'm not trying to pet myself on the back, but the response was just mind-buyling. And it was like, I was a hero for the day.

12:26But I was, I was very well accepted by conservatives and Republicans on that day. He, uh, he always reminds me of Chris, he's always reminded me of Chris Catan from SNL. Paul Begalla. I don't know why he just has that weird, you know, Chris. Chris Catan in character would just have that weird smile, that bizarre smile. And it was almost creepy. And Begalla's always had that. But you would, uh, Jeffrey Blair from, uh, national review, uh, one on earth is going on at CNN and he just goes through that it's just not her. Wasn't one mistake. It was, it was, there's, if you got the example, this was the talking point that everybody had to follow, it's hard to say that's not a credible allegation on Tuesday. CNN publishes now legendary. And since heavily revised human interest stories about the alleged terrorist, which began

13:26to Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather. And in less than an hour, their lives would drain change drastically given how widely mocked that story was around the internet, CNN deleted the tweet associated with it and hastily rewrote the piece. You might have thought that that was the end of it, but he, it wasn't even the end of it on their own network later that afternoon, CNN anchor Abby Philip, casual referred to the Gracie mansion attack as an attempted terror attack against Mamdani explicitly peddling the line, uh, uh, that other, uh, more subtle headlines tried to merely imply. Maybe she was only reading after reading off the teleprompter, you say fine, then so who wrote the script, but we're not done at CNN.

14:27The networks, uh, improperly hyphenated print reporter, uh, Edward Isaac Dover wrote up a call between Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro and mayor mandami characterizing mandami as a fellow target of political violence. If that wasn't enough, CNN contributor and a Navarro captured off by revealing it length, her complete ignorance of any details of the case character. This is again, we're stupid characterizing it as an attempt against mayor mandani in New York, who was raised Muslim. Was he not when a stun Joe Barrelia, 10th and a correct Navarro, she bled it, but it was at his house because I don't know if this sort of ignorance is ideologically driven, uh, down to simple pick ignorance or of a product of a black ops psychological experiment involving LSD in the CNN water supply, why do you do that to wonder?

15:34You really have to wonder, yeah, it's, we, it's political activism and they want to see if they can get away with it. You know, what I wonder is if the paramount plus deal goes through with Warner brothers, that means that paramount plus will own CNN and paramount plus owns CBS. If you're doing the math there, Barry Weiss, who's in charge of CBS news, the question would be, would they also put her over CNN? And I thought of that when Anderson Cooper said he wanted to leave 60 minutes and spend more time with his children, which we knew was false because nobody likes to spend more time with their children. And he would, and he stayed with, you know, he stayed with the full time job, not the, not the weekend job. You want more time with your kids, you stay on 60 minutes, you leave CNN. But he wanted to leave 60 minutes and we all know why it was Barry Weiss. And I, I wonder they haven't made any announcement because the deals far from done, but if that goes through and Barry Weiss has chosen to oversee CNN as well.

16:38I just want, and by the way, I don't know why she wouldn't be because the, the, the executive's a paramount of the ones that put her in charge of CBS. When I first, I don't remember where I first saw the story, but I saw the story said, you know, these bombs thrown at his house. Yes. Yes. That's very, very first breaking news on that. Yes. And I believe that's the subtle headlines he's talking about. Right. Yeah. That, that, okay, they're implying that because the first thought I had was, see, to the, to the terrorists, it doesn't matter whether you're Muslim or not, they'll come after you. That was my first thought. Right. Right. Right. Initially, yeah. Initially, that was right. Right. We are running radio brought to you by hot shot secret. Hi. I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller. Compliance safety accountability is the FMCSA safety

17:38compliance and enforcement program. Its goal is to hold motor carriers and drivers accountable for highway safety. CSA does this by assessing the safety performance of motor carriers and drivers. Motor carriers are assigned a score. The carrier is then grouped with other carriers who have had a similar number of safety events. Carrier scores within the group are then ranked. Low scores are better. So carriers with the highest scores are those that are most likely to be targeted for intervention by the FMCSA. Insurance range and severity and may include warning letters, roadside, offside or onside inspections, civil penalties or operation out of service orders. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and associates. Visit us at JJ Keller.com. We are running a radio.

18:40He is here. Crowley and I'm hearing McNamara. So yeah, so I think yesterday that was a perfect example because you didn't have just, it wasn't one person doing it. It was four people at CNN all doing the exact same thing and writing stories that were completely and totally false and making statements that were completely and totally false. Right. Pay attention. If you spent one second paying attention to it, you knew what was going on. As I said, when I first heard it, I went, okay, add his, wait, wait, what's going on here? Okay. And then, okay, let me read more news stories, whatever. But the fact is, you know, she was attempting to blame the tell, Abby Phillips attempting to blame the teleprompter. Right. I just read stuff, I gosh, reminds me of Jim Carrey or Ron Burgundy or Ron Burgundy or what was it, Steve, Steve Carellan was, is that his name?

19:42Yeah. Yeah, this is the comedian in the God story with the name of the movie with Jim Carrey, where they just read whatever comes across and have no idea, you know, what they're saying. Bruce Almighty. Bruce Almighty. I don't buy that. No, I don't buy it at all. Those are her words. Yeah. Yeah. When you really need care, you need 24-7 access to a care team, not a maze of paperwork from a third party. Every day, America's hospitals and health systems show up for you, navigating healthcare can feel overwhelming. But you can count on real doctors, real nurses, real people, providing quality around the clock care when you need it most. They're in your corner. In communities across America, your neighbors, your lifelines, right beside you, holding your hand and helping find answers. That's what putting patients first actually means.

And then the story came out yesterday.

21:45I think it was the, it was with the New York Times that originally had the original story that the Pentagon spent. I think it was six point. It was total of 15 million on different things and 6.7 million, whatever it was on. Unstaking lobster. And the left just went nuts on this. And let's go to see this is again on CNN. And this is when that story first came out. And this is Scott Jennings saying Internet do something to try to find out, you know, what the truth was on it as the story was just breaking. But listen to Paul Begalle here. Here we go. He has spent 15 million dollars in one month for rib eye steak, 6.9 million for lobster tail, 225 million dollars for for furniture. He spent more than the month of September than most countries on earth spend in their defense. So you believe all for himself lobster tails, do you believe our troops are getting more enemies? No, no, no, no, no. Do you believe the Secretary of Defense is personally eating all the lobster? Wait, he can't eat 60. Oh, really?

22:45The troops are getting lobster. Yes, answers, yes. It shows you. And again, this and I, I'm so happy that it's Paul Begalle because I said it was 26 years ago, almost 26 years ago when I had that, the only time I ever interviewed him, he had no idea how the school lunch program ran at all, not completely clueless and he's, you know, screaming and yelling. I guess at that point, it would have been at Republicans in the school lunch program. But there he is completely and totally ignorant that no, one of the things is, and I think it was Luther Ray Able of, again, a national review, who was saying, wow, he goes there, their ignorance is just their, their ignorance and what they think of the military is just unbelievable. Well, and, and he goes, it being in the Navy, he got out of the Navy in 2018. He said, no, he said, when we would get the stake in lobster, that meant we were staying

23:50out longer. We weren't going home, right, yeah. And this is something that has been part and it goes, this has been, you know, militaries have done this as he writes for millennia. Well, it's a, it's a morale thing. But it's also a thing of, you know, I mean, there are certain things and I have family members who have shared this with me, certain things that are done for morale, where those who are serving understand exactly what's going on. It's not like, oh, great. We're staying out longer. That means we get stake in lobster, right, exactly, it's not that, it's not a celebration. We're not sitting around whining and dining. It's a simple morale booster, saying we're going to feed you well, keep you warm, keep

24:50you dry and do everything we can to keep you safe. Here it is. He said, it's, it has been jokes up to this point, but I have to admit, this demonstrated ignorance of why the Pentagon bought these items is depressing, because it confirms what many veterans think far too many members of the public, specifically the left are wholly detached from the realities of military life, hundreds of the leading cultural intellectual and political lights haven't an inkling about deployments, extensions and separations, which means that they don't know or personally care about anyone in uniform. That's tragic. We are abstractions to them, active duty deaths or suicides to be blamed on the opposition. The stake and lobster meal is a tradition in the armed forces and it predates the United

25:57States by a millennia. In the US military, the frequency of stake and lobster on the menu is largely dependent on the branch and operating conditions. While I was in the Navy from 2013 to 2018, the meal was one of four boating because we knew it meant an extension of our deployment. And so this is what you're going to see from now until election day of this year. We're in election season now. So it's like, let's jump out of the gate with the lie, because you heard baggala, you're saying that they give the troops lobsters, that you want us to believe the troops get lobster. And so what he is saying now, and he'll come, you know, and you know, you combine this with the whole CNN thing and, you know, and Abby Phillips, well, I was just reading it.

26:58And it was wrong. What I read. It's like, we don't have the ability. We don't have the ability to know what the stories are. We just read what we get and make an assumption or we read what we get as Abby Phillips said, without fact checking anything. And I do a national TV show. And I'm a victim in this just like you, I'm stupid, I'm just a talking, they just, they just give it to me and I read it right off the teleprompter. And I never do any fact checking or double check or sit there and go, is there another source out there? I need to make sure that I get the story right like we all do every single day. Yeah. You're in the media. We all, it's, again, that's the normal average thing, the minimum requirement. And Abby Phillips is saying, I'm just like Bernie Sanders and, and Governor Newsom, they

28:02don't know how to get birth certificates. You expect me to know the news? I just read what's off the teleprompter and I don't ever question it. And then here with Bugala in his arrogance, you know, in his coming up, because if you're somebody who doesn't know, you're going, eh, they probably don't give the military a stake in lobster. Right? That would be the first thing. Because what do you mean, you mean they don't give lobster to service people? Yeah. They do. First of all, that's, what is it that they think the service people get? They get cruel, they get really bad oatmeal. That's all they get. Well, one of the things that if you know anything about the military, especially when you look at, you know, things like, you know, the, the, the Navy when you're on a ship, you know, and you see the sleeping conditions in there, you know, I mean, it's, you know, you're packed in, you know, you may not see light.

29:02You know, if you're not working upstairs, you know, you don't, you don't see the day a lot of the times food is one of the things that increases morale on a Navy ship in a submarine. They talk about submarines all the time, you know, how important it is that if you have, you know, you're going to have a tasty meal. It means the world to you, you know, the, the Navy specifically, I've seen a ton of stuff about, you know, aircraft carriers, you know, so many documentaries that, that are out there on it, or if you know anything about the military, you know, no, no, they, they do, I never forget they, I saw a documentary around the Coast Guard. And it's like every Sunday or something, they have like a barbecue on the deck. Yeah. And everybody's there. Right. And, you know, and all, a lot of these times, it's the officers that are serving, yeah, the enlisted. Right. Yeah, it's, it's more often as a, as a sign of, you know, of, of, of, we respect, you

30:05know, what you're doing. But when Luther A, but, you know, he's making the point, they don't care. The military to the left is simply, this is something that we can use. If there's a death, we can use it against our opposition. They don't care. They don't care to know. They don't care to know how things operate. All they care is, can we use this to win? Well, and it makes me wonder if a guy would go further and go, how dare we spend money on stake and lobster for the military? Well, it's going to be interesting to see what happens now. I, I haven't seen if last night it changed when, once it came out that, well, there was a, it was a couple of documentaries that I, it was actually, I think a series. And they were talking about the chow halls at military schools. And what it takes to run one, right? So they went behind the scenes. And we're talking about, you know, top-notch food that you want.

31:07The best you can get for them, for what, for where they are, right? And they were talking about, I think it was Friday, was seafood day or something. And they went in and all the cadets were like, oh my gosh, yeah, we, no, we, we wait for this day. This is our day. This is, you know, this is the best day. And they talk about what it takes, what they have to do to prepare the next meal, because after dinner, they do cleanup and then next thing, you know, boom, they're on to breakfast. You know, it's a 24-7 operation, I have a friend of mine, dear friend of mine, I'm going to see, I've known him since grade school. And he was a cook in the army, takes great pride, he's one of the best cooks I know. He takes great, great pride in, in that job that he did in the army. That was one of the jobs that he did in the army, but he was very good at it. And he talked about, he talks about it all the time.

32:10He said, we never, he said, from his perspective, never treated it as if, you know, here's your slop, you know, the old mess hall stories that probably go back to when my dad served and my father-in-law served him. And I remember the, the, the chow hall stories of my father-in-law is notorious for, look, I showed up at chow hall because I was getting free food, I wasn't going to go off the army post and eat somewhere, you know, with buddies, I wasn't going to spend any money. I was getting free food, so I would eat and you were taught to get full, to eat, you know, three squares a day, and so that you have the energy what it needs to, to serve. So it goes back a long way, the jokes about chow hall, but they actually take that, yeah. Masha would be a perfect example. The food was always crummy in the field. That was, you know, it was like, well, we're, I mean, look at the, look at what the,

33:11the remember the concentrated orange juice, you know, that was so they created that so that they could basically, it could travel, they could have orange juice for the military. You look at the, the, the, the MREs, right, you know, but now you see YouTubers all the time eating them, and they're like, you know, yeah, yeah, we brought some MREs on our excursion here to the mountains, you know, this is what we're having today. And even those have improved over the years. But the point is, is that it's a long tradition when we're talking about, it's, you know, goes beyond about, it goes beyond eating it while you're in, in, in the field or in country. And, and MREs, MREs were about, really about survival. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, and, and then you go beyond that, though, again, in, in the setting where you might be on a base, on a ship, or at a military school, and they take the food today, especially,

34:16take the food very seriously, because they understand the morale booster. They know that it doesn't, it's not going to get them beyond, you know, the, the weight of a mission. They know it's not going to, but it, every little bit of boosting that morale is critical in getting them there and keeping them focused. And of course, keeping them fed and healthy. But Gala doesn't care about the truth. No. All he looked at, he goes, we can make the case without either he knows what's going on in lie, or he's completely and totally ignorant of the military, because he doesn't care to know about anything about the military unless it can be used as a political weapon against the opposition.

35:27Here when I radio, he's there currently, and I'm Gary McNamara. So here's a babble on B on it. Democrats condemn Hegseth for using money to feed soldiers when it could have gone to Somali daycare. And I just love, and I love this one. Famous terrorist attacks as described by CNN. A passionate young man's life was turned upside down after he illegally parked in front of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building directly leading to his apprehension by police on Wednesday, a jury of his peers later sent him to death. And the implication is he got sentenced to death for illegal parking. Right. Exactly. But my favorite one that they have, because they go through the Munich terrorist attack, John Lenin's murder, but my favorite one is this one, man falls to death, a German business man crossed into Los Angeles for what could have been a normal Christmas Eve enjoying the views from Nakatomi tower.

36:29But early the next morning, his life would drastically change as he would fall from the top of the building while being confronted by a police officer, John McClade, officer John McClade, of course, the script from Die Hard there, but I love it.

39:00All across America. We are right. I radio. He is here currently and I'm carrying McNamara. Still my favorite headline was from yesterday, whoopie Goldberg claims, Trump's actions and a ran or meant to distract from the Nancy Guthrie case. That was my favorite. It's so bizarre. You know, I thought about that yesterday because we talked. You mentioned it. Yes. And I thought to myself because I'm trying to wrap my tiny brain around this nonsense of saying these things and they say them repeatedly, they say stupid stuff all the time. And I'm thinking to myself, if you're one of the lawyers on the set of the view, you basically just trying to keep them compliant and keep them keep the company from getting sued at this point.

40:01But you're having to listen to this gibberish and you've got to be shaken your head going what? What do you what? That this was because if you were to say, I'm the whole wag the dog thing on war goes back, you know, decades, right? Wagging the dog on the Nancy Guthrie case doesn't make any sense at all. It doesn't make any sense. Oh, I just don't know. I don't. I think to myself, do they just blurt it out? Because it's just no control, no throttle whatsoever, no breaks on between the thought and then saying it out loud, they just it just falls out of their mouth as they're thinking it is what it seems like.

41:01Well, here's one for you. All right. Not not thinking before you say something that can be used against you later on, Graham a planner, the, the, the, the, the, the Democratic main Senate candidate who's got his Nazi problems. As you've heard about that, you know, the Nazi tattoo and the allegation that man, he's a sympathizer for, you know, Nazis, but this is my favorite here. Democratic main Senator, uh, Senate candidate, uh, Graham Platner suggested that opposition to transgender athletes and female sports was a result of an out of state billionaire agenda. Last week, Platner spoke on a podcast where he was asked by the host about the topic, uh, being an ongoing issue for democratic politicians, such as main governor, uh, Janet Mills, Platner admitted that it's an issue that he can't take seriously because he considers it propaganda. Uh, it is this whole campaign, uh, is funded by a billionaire, not from Maine.

42:07The anti trans campaign in Maine, Platner said it's funded by an out of state billionaire to make sure we have this discussion and we don't talk about raising his taxes. That's why it exists. Of course, that's ridiculous, as we all know, yeah, as an example, Platner recalled wrestling girls in high school and nobody cared at the time. There was no uproar that's wrestling and, uh, that's, uh, uh, that's about as like actual violence, Platner said, although he added he won all the fights he had with girls. Is it the ending Kaufman, excuse, what is that, what I mean, I just, my God, I read that and I went, no, look, I, I wrestled women before and I beat them all, that's why I'm for it. That's right. I was telling all I want this, I was telling all against women.

43:09We should all want this and by, we, I mean, men, what, you know, oh, my God, damn self-awareness at all. I mean, they live in their, they live in their own damn bubble, who would ever see that? Look, I mean, says it and then backs it up by saying, and on top of that, I want every fight. Are you kidding me? This is a, this is a distraction from, from the issues that matter out there. Nobody really cares about this. Only a billionaire calls cares about the radical transgender movement. I know because I wrestled women and I beat them every time. It's totally anti-coffman. He's trying to be anti-coffman. Oh my gosh. I'm undefeated when it comes to wrestling women. You wouldn't believe how weak they are. You should stop talking, dude. Wow. That, that is just bizarre.

44:16Wow. Have we just, have we crossed over? Have we just gone into just absolute insanity land? Yeah. Is this what happened? You know, I've been saying my theory for a while since COVID, actually, is that there was a parallel brain disorder and it seemed to really ramp up during the COVID thing. Where people just went that soup crazy. And it just is getting crazier by the moment. They're saying these things out loud and I'm just wondering, well, it's either that or recreational legalization. They're smoking something. I just, I don't get it. I really don't. You know, I was thinking again about DHS funding.

45:20And I thought to myself, here we are, we're at war with the rent. We know that the regime sent out messages during the initial attack for sleeper cells to be awakened for their proxies to go to work. And Democrats don't care. That is crazy, but it's also the Democrats. That's how insane they are. They don't care about the safety of the American people. They don't. ICE is funded. This is, this is not about ICE. They want you to believe it is. Even Federman said it. Yeah. I mean, basically Federman, this is sort of stupid because ICE is funded. Right. What do you do? We're in a war and we're saying we're not going to fund Homeland Security. Right. And unless we don't fund ICE, but ICE is already funded.

46:22It's already funded. It doesn't make any sense. And I don't, for the life of me, I don't get it. I really don't get it. How they think this is, and they really do. They believe it's working. Well, as we said the other day, they don't believe any of these incredibly radical positions that they hold. Look, when a planner in New Hampshire, yeah, hey, I fought girls and I won. Yeah. So this radical transgender movement thing is not radical because I beat girls. Right. It can be done. I did it. Think about it. I mean, he's in such a bubble. We think that's a positive right to running about it in the United States of America as a Senate candidate. Yeah. That's why all of this stuff. That's why, you know, if you listen to the show, that's why there's incredible laughter,

47:22not because of the actual issues, because these are all serious issues. You know, the issue of terrorism is extremely serious, but the way the media is covering it and the way they're attempting to lie in B.S. to the American public rises to the level of comedy greatness. I, it really is out of right out of the Andy Coppen story, almost literally. I, I wrestled women and I'll let you know that I'm undefeated against women. I won. I don't see what the big deal is. Go sit down, ladies. Quit your crying. And by the way, you wrestle like a girl. Yeah. I just, that's, that is such insanity. It's, it's far beyond laughable.

48:27You know, I liked it in the, in the last couple of weeks, we've been able to actually get into the minutia of legal things about the Constitution because that's what I, I really love the thing I like talking about the best is getting into the minutia of economics and how it really works, because I believe that we have a country that is a significant portion of people are completely economically illiterate. They have no idea how economies run. We know that a significant portion of America at times a majority have no, depending on the polls, have no idea how the Constitution of the United States is set up and why it's set up the way that it is. Right. I love talking about those things, but so much of the time it's, it's, it's spent on absolute insanity and absurdity, which of course we have to cover because they are a party that half the people still support and can still win elections and they're promoting

49:27out right insanity. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I sit there and think of these things and go, wow, I don't know how long this could take me to get over this one or stop thinking and laughing about this one and it doesn't take long. Yeah. Like I'm thinking to myself, how more bizarre can a Democrat come than plant near a new Hampshire saying this whole radical transgender movement thing is nothing. I know because I wrestled women and I beat the hell out of them. Yeah. All right. I added hell. Well, no, but he's he's he's bragging clearly bragging that I that I beat women and wrestling right. And you sit there and you go weird and every day I come in and I'm thinking to myself, how much more bizarre can they get now we, we attacked the Republicans when we believe they're not being conservative. Yeah. Yeah. And we and we do it and once in a wilders humor, but the humor, the insanity on the left, you know, I, here's the, here's the thing.

50:29I have disagreements with Republicans and I have disagreements with Trump. Now we explain them and we explain specifically why we disagree with them when we get into the minutia of it every single time we never just say, I disagree with them because he's Hitler. Right. No, that's, that's not, that's not how you're supposed to debate. You're supposed to debate by saying this person is wrong on the substance of the issue. And here's why they're wrong, this, this, this, this, and this. Here's the issue. Right. Here's where they are on the issue. But because the Democrats believe, I mean, think about it, you know, I'm a planner saying that, but then I got to go back to when, when we sat there for, it was two days in a row. Maybe it was three, maybe it was three days and separated it. But it was very, very close. It was in the same week when governor, you know, governor Newsom said, I don't, I don't know how I find my birth certificate. And then it was like the next day, Bernie Sanders, I don't know where my birth certificate

51:32is. No, I don't know where my birth certificate is. Now you're talking about, of course you do. You couldn't be a governor and you couldn't be a senator. That's just bizarre. You, you couldn't do all these things that you do that we've all had to do and show that we're citizens of the United States for enhanced license for passports. They've got passports. They've had to show all this stuff. So they're lying, but they're lying by pretending that they're idiots, right? And they're actually think, think about the humor of that. We've gotten to the point in the United States where politicians go, how can I convince the people to vote for me? Oh, we've always treated them like idiots. Let's be idiots. Well, we'll be the idiot party for all idiots, you know, we're idiots too. We're just like, they're always trying to be like the common man. Well, we are like the common man that we believe are idiots because we're idiots too.

52:32So idiots should only be led by idiots. They're actually trying to sell that concept to the American people and half of the American people at this moment by that. They say the debt is 38 trillion plus is trillion more than a million. I don't know. I don't know my math. I don't know my aliens. Is that more than a billion? By the way, they could get away with the I could see them trying to get away with that because nobody's screaming about the debt. A handful of us and that's this is the approach now. Play stupid. It goes back to group stupid American voter on Obamacare who's caught on a hot mic saying that out loud, you know, the stupid American voter.

53:32They believe you're stupid or the chief architects of Obamacare actually set that out loud. We knew we could get away with this because of the stupid American voter. Somebody wrote me the other day he goes, you guys continue to call the Democrats stupid. I go, no, we're not. We're telling you what the leaders of the Democratic Party are saying. What they're communicating, right? I don't believe they're stupid. I believe they may be willfully ignorant. I believe they may want to avoid the facts because their emotion tells them one thing. I don't believe they're stupid. Right. No, we're not saying they're stupid. We're observing what the leaders of the Democratic Party have said. They're claiming to be stupid, right? The rank and file, we've said in fact, if you listen to the show for any amount of time, we've said it. They believe you're stupid. We don't believe you're stupid. Now you may be willfully ignorant going out of your way to ignore the facts, choosing to ignore the facts.

54:35I believe you're capable of finding the facts. That thing in your hand that you carry over, it'll help you. My vape pen? That's right. You'll find the new facts. Like, hey, there's nothing wrong with wrestling girls. Who said in the last day are they all in LSD? Was that today? We said that. It couldn't be. It was like they're all because we said that many times. They've got to be on drugs. They all got to be high. Oh, yeah. Somebody said that yesterday. No, it's the left's all on LSD. It really, that just has to be the case. We are red eye radio. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by house products, tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920, innovations to better detect microbes and irrigation surface water, such as irrigation ponds and lakes, and in turn, prevent contaminants from causing foodborne illness and crops. That is the work conducted by USDA researcher Yakov Pachevsky and colleagues incorporating

55:40artificial intelligence, remote sensing, and proximal sensing, including artificial intelligence to process results of measurements, sensors, admitting light waves both in water sources and through aerial drones, collect data. AI crunching this data creates maps that break down contaminants at microbial levels. Pachevsky says while technology provides broader sources and breakdowns of information, cooperation of field level farmers were also essential in developing detection methods that are more effective, cost efficient, and quicker with broader use and application of this tech approaching. I'm Ron Bane reporting for the US Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senex Fuels and Loops.

56:49We saw the narrative of Democrats saying that none of this would have happened if Trump hadn't ripped up the Obama deal, if the Obama nuclear ran deal, you know, Mark Kelly first come out and say it, and it was like, you're completely clueless, and we said even Democrats didn't want it, and we played all the clips of it. Here's an extended clip of Schumer who was now backing that whole thing, that if Trump hadn't got rid of the ran deal, well what was he saying in 2015, here we go. We should not go forward with this agreement. This evil regime has stayed in power without even a slight threat to their being overthrown. The odds to me are too high, too high that they will stay that way, and if they do stay that way, I believe that this agreement is too flawed. Now that was Democrats, a ton of them going up against Obama in his second term saying,

57:53right, no, no, you're enabling Iran to get a nuclear weapon, and now they're claiming the Trump ripping it up. This is again, there the way, as Bill Mar says, they're the ones who changed, I didn't change, they changed. This episode is brought to by Colorguard.

I'm Gary McNamara along with the Eric Harley coming up here in just a couple of minutes, a college where the student government pledging solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran. No, wow. Yeah, more craziness on the way, but right now, I have a serious question for you. Is pain keeping you awake? We love that you listen, but yeah, really have to answer that question, changing plans because of your pain, thinking about changing jobs because of your pain. Well, these types of events were happening with me. I was changing plans. There were times when I couldn't sleep because of my pain.

59:59After taking relief factor, it all changed. I started taking relief factor every day. And I think you should too, because there are things in life that are beyond your control. Controlling your pain is not one of them. You can take control of your pain with relief factor. It's simple. The three-week quick start will get you started. I'll tell you, it's 100% drug-free. This is what I love the most. And you will get the benefits that I get every day from relief factor. The three-week quick start, real simple, 1995, just visit relieffactor.com. Call 800-4 relief, 800, the number four relief, relieffactor.com or 800, the number four relief, make sure you use red eye at the drop down for your three-week quick start of relief factor at 1995. You know, whenever somebody in the right says, well, no, look at what they're saying. They're basically in support of terrorism and the left goes crazy.

1:01:02That's ridiculous. Well, student leaders at the University of Maryland College Park have reportedly introduced a new resolution pledging solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Members of the Student Government Association, which represents a student body, introduced a resolution on March 4th, following the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on the dictator ship, the theocracy of regime in Iran, the resolution condemns American intervention in Iran, the SGA calls upon U.S.-Israel Iran, and all other involved international parties to establish an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East. It also condemns the January capture of the Venezuelan dictator, Maduro, who was arrested on charges of international drug trafficking, it reads, the SGA condemns unprovoked U.S. military intervention against Iran, Venezuela, and all countries around the world. The student government association stands in solidarity with all Iranian victims of the

1:02:04U.S. and Israeli strikes, as well as state suppression and their repression and their loved ones. Wow. So there you go. Yeah. Same thing with the what you saw in the media from the CNN on the two alleged terrorists in New York City. Right. Yeah. So it's just it's amazing. It really, really is. And you know, you hate to say it, but it's like, well, no, it's, it's true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They do side with the terrorists. And right now with HHS, I mean, what else can you say you're signing with the terrorist? You're not doing anything right? Well, I, I, I, I, I, I, if you, if you're blocking DHS funding right now, you're opening that door. Yeah. You're creating a greater risk for the American people. Why would you want to be a part of that? The only thing I can think of is you don't care.

1:03:05You don't care about the safety of the American people, but we've seen this before during COVID. Because you better wear your mask and you can't be in groups of two or more. Well, that means you can only be alone. Oh, people coming across the border. We don't even need to test you. Go where you like. Sanctuary cities also covered COVID. That's, it's amazing, Gary. It's, it's a miracle of science. Sanctuary policy meant you were exempt from getting COVID or spreading COVID. That's the way they treated it. And now you're looking at a threat, a very real threat. And they're talking about, and they don't know there's a general alert right now about the possibility of the enemy using drones on American soil to attack Americans.

1:04:09And again, they don't know how serious that threat is. They're looking at the possibilities of what the, the enemy could do. But every law enforcement agency right now is on alert. And you don't want to fund DHS. And they keep citing ice and ice has already funded. There's zero excuse for this. None. Except you don't care about the safety. You welcome an attack because you're not doing everything within your power. There are things you can put on the commander and chief of, you know, they're, of course, they put everything on him. They blame everything on him. But if you're not doing everything within your power to protect the American people, it's also on you. Period. And we did notice, I mean, and brought it to the attention and said, they don't give

1:05:14a damn about Americans doing COVID. They don't when they left the southern border open, right. And they weren't vetted. Nope. As we know, I don't know how many hundreds of thousands, possibly millions came across. They were never vetted. Nope. Yeah, you couldn't do a damn thing if you were an American citizen, right? They wanted cops. If you remember, I'll never forget Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2020. If there's cars outside, you know, the funny thing is I was leaving my, I thought about that. I'm leaving my house today. And as I backed my car out the driveway and then I realized I forgot something. And as I got out of the car, I looked in a police car, slowly coming down my street and just parked, you know, the two doors down. I don't know if they're just sitting on a side street, they got a report of somebody out there or whatever. But I went in the house and came back out and, you know, the car was still there completely dark. No, I don't know. It might have been somebody visiting someone. I don't know. But I thought about that. I just thought about COVID when they were sending the police, if there's too many cars

1:06:17outside your house, the police may show up. And remember, they actually broke up some parties, right? Oh, remember Thanksgiving of that year, while we better not hear that you're having people over for Thanksgiving and all the liberals were announcing, well, I'm not having anybody over for Thanksgiving. Yeah. We'll have virtual gatherings and remember outside an LA where if you were walking outside without a mask, they were going to arrest you and here by the millions, they were just allowing illegal immigrants to cross the border and they weren't vetted at all for their COVID status. Right. And we're just like, they don't give a damn. No, they, they don't just, they were so obvious and Democrats didn't, they didn't care. No, they were fine with it. And the only excuse there is right now is, and the only answer you can give as to why they're not funding DHS is because you don't care if there's an attack, you don't care about the risk. Well, in my opinion, they want an attack because it'll hurt the president.

1:07:20Right. That's exactly what I was thinking, an attack on American soil, because gimme it would hand, give us another reason. If you believe we're over the top on this, give us another reason, tell us why they're actually doing it. Right. Why they won't fund DHS. This isn't about ice, ice is already funded. You know, we saw the other day yesterday when we played the, the, the sanctuary city hearing in the Senate. Yeah. The guy from the Cato Institute, he was, he was blunt in his answer by not answering it. He wanted open borders. Right. He believes in open, they still believe in open borders. No, I, it's, and they, nobody would, they don't care about, they don't care about the safety of the American people. Whether it's foreign gangs coming here by the countless numbers or the enemy wanting

1:08:22to strike on American soil, they, they don't care, but they defeat their entire argument because if all of this hadn't happened, you would have had, you would have had Congress, if all this illegal, the illegal immigration over the last 40 years really in this country hadn't happened. If we were tough on the border at that time, there would have been bipartisan agreement to increase legal immigration. Yeah. Yeah. There would have been because you wouldn't have this thing. No, no, we don't, we, you know, we just don't want, because right now the American public is like, we don't want any immigration. You're going to have to have it. I mean, Trump said it a few years ago, if we're going to boost the economy, if the economy is going to grow, we're going to need it. I was looking at, there was a, a, a video was this, you know, one of the videos on, on,

1:09:24on YouTube and it was about Central Florida and they're just doing a thing about how Central Florida is different than the coast and then they're talking about the agriculture economy and this woman and it talked about, you know, I forgot what town it was, but in agriculture town, she goes, I know we're dead right now. She goes, the people that work are gone. She goes, Trump made sure of that. She was an angry at Trump. She was just a matter of fact, Trump made sure of that. And so we can't get anybody to do the work that we need done here in this town. Right. It was like, well, and so, you know, we would have had, you know, one of the reasons that the unemployment rate stays low is because what is it? Roughly two million people are now out of the workforce. It used to be in it because they were illegal or 1.7 is the last number that I saw, but that was like a couple of months ago. Right. So it would be, it would be more. And that's why the unemployment rate stays the same is because you've decreased the labor supply drastically. That's huge when you do that. Right. But the, as Trump said, when he was arguing with Jim Acosta, no, we're going to have

1:10:26legal immigration. If the economy, if the economy grows, you have to have natural resources, as we know, need to have the infrastructure, natural resources, including the grid to deliver electricity and the infrastructure to deliver all other energy sources. And you're going to need people. Now we're being told that AI is going to make it so nobody's going to have a job anymore. That's still up for debate. That's still up for debate, whether technology changes jobs or just gets rid of all jobs. Well, because there's a, there's a combination of things that, that's happening. Businesses always, different industries trying to become more efficient. That's something that's always in play. But if you don't have the labor force, then you're forced to go to the next level and ramp up automation. We saw this in the fast food industry, where then fast food said, well, you know what?

1:11:30At the very least apps and kiosks on ordering can limit the workforce that we have to have, especially if we're having to pay whatever it is in certain states, $15 an hour, $20 an hour, wherever they are, on minimum wage. So a shortage of labor is going to do the same thing. Whatever automation it might be or AI that might be available to them is what industry is going to use. And so you have a combination of things that's going to be in play for quite some time. And the president has been saying it, as you mentioned, for years now, since his first term about legal immigration, but you can't have that conversation right now. People don't want to hear that. They don't want to have that conversation about it. Because right now, especially when on the jobs front, you're not going to win that.

1:12:30Even though there's a mismatch, you know, people aren't going to that need a job aren't going to go work in the ag industry right now. That's that it doesn't work that way. But if you so if you open up visas to support the ag industry and get workers here from other countries, people still start screaming, even though they're not going to do that job. They may be looking to have a job themselves. They're looking at the big numbers game. They're looking at the wider picture and that mismatch and skills or desire to be in that industry is, you know, what's at play there, but it doesn't matter. You can't politically, you can't have that conversation about work visas at this moment. You just can't. We are Red Eye Radio. Get in touch with Red Eye Radio toll free at 866-MightyRedeye.

1:13:48We are Red Eye Radio. He is here currently and I'm Gary McNamara. Thanks so much for being here. Interesting the story that came out yesterday about Iran saying, you know, that they might release, watch out West Coast. It might release drones. Right. Exploding drones in the presence that we're looking into that, be interesting to see whether they even have the capability to do that or whether it's just an idle threat because they're looking at, okay, how can we change the Paula? They look at it and they go that they they've seen the president. They have seen the back and forth. They've seen the different messaging coming out of the White House. Right. And they're like, we need to change the narrative here. And so let's say that we can attack, even if they have no ability to attack California, we're going to do that because this president is giving out different messages. Let's put it this way. Right. Yeah. Constradict green messages over the last couple of days. We're almost done. Hegs said, no, we've got a lot more to do. These differing messages and they're like, okay, what can we do?

1:14:50Dave, the president said yesterday, you know, there could be a lot more to do. You know, it's kind of all over the place. And Iran can put a lot of fear into hearts just by saying whatever they want to say. Yeah. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One.

1:15:50Dan, I missed you all. I've got so much content bottled up in my head. I got a lot of stuff. This is the kind of stuff. It's real. It may not view this anywhere else. Hard truths. There's a lot of stuff to talk about. Anything is going to open a lot of eyes and a lot of ignorantes are going to get shut down. In a bold perspective, no one else can offer. They are freaking out. It's the comeback everyone's been waiting for. Lovers, haters, friends, supporters, detractors, you're all welcome. I want to hear it all. The Dan Banchino Show.
