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 Uniden America Studios. This is Red Eye Radio. All across stolen America. We are Red Eye Radio. He is Eric Hurley. He steals. I'm Gary McNamara. I steal. I don't steal as much as I just take other people's property. We all come up with your own definition. That's not stealing. I identify as somebody who believes they should have that. Yeah, I think stealing is OK. Yeah, you know, stealing is OK because those people don't deserve it. Right. Man, did that. I always want to color. I don't know why it's just Billy Eyelash. I just, it's just. Yeah, well, and here's another thing. But but can we stop saying eat the rich? Why do we get to cannibalism? I don't need to. I don't need. I don't need to eat the rich. If you want to say we, you know, let's take the property of the rich, you know, that's better than eating the rich. You're not going to look. There's very little nutritional value in an Elon Musk. But I thought I thought it was just great yesterday, the way that I woke up in the morning and I'm looking at her house. Yeah, I'm looking at her house. And it's like, wow, Billy's house is on stolen land. And I mean, they have the they did the research. There was the tribe that was there before. Yeah, it was the tribe. The house, you know, is she opening up to to illegals? I mean, just and you and you really can't defend it in any way. I mean, that's one of the dumbest arguments ever is the stolen land argument. And then we got into the bizarro world. Well, wait a minute. If if you say it's open borders and everybody's welcome, then there can be no stolen land because you're saying that everybody is welcome on the property. So how can it be stolen? Which means the settlers going back to Jamestown were welcome. Yes. Right. Right. Everybody, there is no stolen land if everybody is welcome. I mean, Native Americans were wrong for trying to keep the white man out by their definition, by their definition, by the definition. Thank you for qualifying that somebody will take just that point and go, this guy is just an idiot. Yeah. Now, if you're if you're going to walk that all the way through because now let's go to New York City where they're screaming, nobody has the right to own property. Yes. Then there's no such thing as stolen land. Thank you. Good night. But but then the other the other argument is the entire human race never did anything wrong until the United States of America came along. There was no slavery. It didn't exist anywhere else in the world. Right. There was no stolen land. Everything started with the United States. We are the Great Satan. You know, I've heard that before. Yeah, I know I'm married. I hear it a lot. But here's my kids got me a key chain that says that the Great Satan. But the world's best Great Satan. They got me that for Father's Day. But here's the thing, you know, what we're missing these days the investigative reporter. You know, the activists, the liberal activists in newsrooms, when when they started moving in, we still had a few investigative reporters. We don't have any investigative reporters. Why is that? Well, because you don't want to find the truth. You're not looking for the truth. The truth doesn't serve you. You know, I mean, it's you think about that. You think about the way John Stossel started breaking down stories years ago, right? And he started doing that. And he admits, you know, he was more of a liberal reporter when he first started. You know, had this grand idea of going out and changing the world like they always do as young reporters. And then he started asking questions and learning stuff about how the world works. And we don't have that anymore. You don't have that investigative reporter, because if you did, you would learn a lot of things about what's going on in the world today. You bring up slavery. The fact that, you know, that they pretend the left pretends like slavery didn't exist before the United States. Well, it wasn't good for the United States, but it also wasn't good for the rest of the world that was participating in slavery. And in some parts of the world still does. And, you know, you got but you got to leave the facts out. You got to leave all of the math out. I it's. It's mind boggling how they get dressed every day because I don't know who's helping them. I really don't. Well, say this, it's it's too easy to debate now because the arguments are just so completely and totally ignorant. The only good thing about it is it makes it very entertaining. Yes, it makes it comical. Well, that's what gets a lot of people. Why the things are so crazy. How do you guys handle it? Well, because there's great comedy in incredible stupidity. Yeah. Yeah. And that's what we're dealing with, with with Hollywood and the and the Grammys. But I mean, that it was entertaining. It was so entertaining yesterday and nobody could defend her. You don't have anybody in the mainstream coming out and saying, you know, we're in stolen land. Well, then give up your property. Right. Because if you do argument, then you've done the same thing that you're accusing everybody else. Because if you do, if you if you're using that argument, then you're you're on that path. You must believe in the end. Nobody has the right to own property in this country, including you. Right. Let's get rid of those gated communities. That's right. There should be no home. Wow. I'm amazed nobody in the left brought this up. There should be no home over a million dollars. We need to have a millionaire's property home tax. Anybody over a million dollars pays more. I'll add in. We should limit the square footage. One thousand. Well, if you do, you have to pay the property tax on it. You know, they're not going to learn if. Come on, Eric. Come on. Have you been paying attention? What's going on? I can't even get this out in in the world. Yes, they want to regulate you. But if they can get your money. And a ton of it from you, they'll give you a little leeway as long as you pay more for your freedom. Well, that's why they want to go to 100 percent income tax. See, that's what you're missing. Wait a minute. And a thousand square feet. See, you limit it to a thousand square feet because that way you don't occupy as much stolen land. You do both. If it's a thousand square feet, you still throw the. The 10 percent extra property tax on it. Because eventually it's not your land. Here's the thing that that it goes. It's got to go full circle to the where they're going to meet the liberals in New York City and be on that path of nobody has the right to own any land. Nobody has the right to own any property. You can't have property. You can't own property. Nobody owns it. It's all stolen land. But we're not giving it back. We're still going to stay here. Then again. And then when you own the means of production, you simply pay a pittance and wages and just keep all the wealth that you will acquire temporarily until you find out the central planners can't run government or can't run industry. And then they all go bankrupt. Yes. But maybe just think about this story here. It's it's Super Bowl week. Right. Oh, is it that's this week? Super Bowl week. All right. I love this story from John Solomon. Whether or not the Seattle Seahawks are sold after the Super Bowl remains to be seen, but the timing of such speculation comes shortly after the details of an income based jock tax on professional athletes in Washington state when public a proposed 9.9 percent millionaires income tax being worked on by the majority party Democrats in Washington state. If enacted would include a component that would force high earning visiting athletes and performers to pay income tax on earnings generated during their time in the state. While the jock tax is standard in states with income taxes. Uh, I doubt our Seahawks, Mariners and Kraken players will be thrilled about losing 10 percent of their salaries. So Ryan Frost, director of budget and tax policy at the free market, Washington policy center think tank, but the jock tax is really a symptom of a bigger problem. Olympia cannot stick to a budget even with record revenues. So they keep creating new tax mechanism to extract more wealth from the private sector as reported by the center square. State spending has increased dramatically over the last decade. The possible sale of the franchise was the talk of the sports world Friday when ESPN, studying national football league and ownership sources, familiar with the situation reported that the team will be put up for sale after the February 8th championship game between the Seahawks and the Patriots shortly after the Seattle Times reported that the Paul Allen estate put out a statement that refuted at least to a degree that the notion that the team is currently for sale. We don't comment on rumors or speculation. Well, you did. Yeah. We don't comment on rumors and speculation, but we are. Yeah. And the team is not for sale. We've already said that will change at some point per Paul's wishes, but there is no news to share our focus right now is winning the Super Bowl. You know, I used to work for Paul Allen's. Media company. Mm hmm. And when I got, when I got let go, I got a termination letter and it says Portland Trailblazers on the top of it. Right. So my term and I got it somewhere in my files. So my termination letter is from an NBA team. So my goal is to put, I did, I, when people used to come into my house when I keep it around, I got to frame it and say, yeah, that's when I used to play in the NBA. You played in the NBA. Yeah. See, right there. There's where I, when I was, when I was cut from the Portland Trailblazers, they go, I don't remember your name. Yeah. I was that short white guy at the end of the bench. Is that back when they did free throws underhanded? That long ago. I'll never forget. Here I am. I mean, I knew I was good. It wasn't a surprise to me. Uh, when it, when it happened, but I was so incredibly happy that day. I'm like, look at this. Look at the letter I got. It looks like I played for the NBA. Yeah. Yeah. I got cut from the Portland Trailblazers. This is great. And then I went and cried because I had lost my identity. My identity was, by the way, a former Washington state resident, Jeff Bezos, says hello from Florida. Yeah. When he got up and left, you know, when he, he, he had a beautiful home, apparently on the shoreline somewhere and, um, he got up and left, you know, and it didn't make the noise I thought it was going to make until he got to Florida. And then he started buying up like an entire neighborhood. He was buying houses left and right. Apparently he's expanding for us to build his layer down there, but he, he clearly was leaving knowing the entire West coast is going to go billionaires tax. They're going to go millionaires tax, billionaires tax. They're going to, you know, this is going to cost them and it's going to cost business because these are people that employ a lot of people. I just saw this the other day, uh, from the Wall Street Journal, the hardest part about being a billionaire in California, proving you left. Advisors recommend leaving breadcrumbs like we've moved notes on Christmas cards and you really do have to quit the country club. You got to give up your membership. Oh my gosh. No, it goes, you know, you've got to basically, you've got to cut all ties. Every little tie you might have to California. If you're a billionaire leaving California, because this is the big Exodus when, you know, you have more and more talk about the billionaires wealth tax, uh, the one time wealth tax they want to do. And that conversation is going to keep going. They know it's going to keep going. It's not going to end because, you know, here's the thing. Let's say Gavin runs in 28. Let's say Kamala runs for governor of California. And she gets it or someone like Kamala. I'm, it's going to be a Democrat. It's going to be someone like Newsom or, or any of them. And that conversation is not going to end. It's going to be the next radical. The next radical has to make their mark whoever the next governor of California is. And they keep talking about, you know, and Gavin Newsom seems like kind of woke up, uh, and learned some economic lessons. But, um, you know, here recently, because he's trying to write that fence. If he's thinking about a bid in 28, uh, for president, but if you're, if you're just looking at being governor of California, then you want to stay on that fast track to a billionaire's wealth tax. And the Wall Street Journal is basically rounded up some advice for billionaires. Man, you're going to have to quit the country club too. You're going to have to cut all ties, every little tie that you have at any little, any little thing that you've got. If you've got a lease somewhere or something, you know, on a vacation home or anything, you got to, you're going to have to do the big Exodus has to be clean. Yeah. Because they'll do everything to, to attempt to prove that you're still, exactly that you still owe, uh, something to the state of, uh, of California. You mentioned Newsom, did you hear about that Vogue article? That they were, oh, the Vogue article talked about how embarrassingly good looking he is and just, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, oh, some of the stuff coming on embarrassingly good looking. Yes. We are ready radio. Brought to you by hotshot secret. Hi, I'm Jen Lumis, a transport safety expert at JJ Keller. When driving, you need to manage the space around your vehicle so that there's enough space to allow you to adjust when traffic conditions change. The space ahead of your vehicle is the most important. One rule of thumb is to allow at least one second for each 10 feet of vehicle length at speeds below 40 miles per hour. At greater speeds, add an additional second. It's impossible to keep other drivers from tailgating you, but there are some things you can do to make it safer, such as increasing your following distance, avoiding quick lane changes and slowing down. There are also several things you should do to ensure that there is plenty of space between the side of your vehicle and other vehicles. Don't hug the center line and avoid traveling alongside other vehicles in strong winds. This tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and associates. Visit us at JJ Keller dot com.

One of the singers of Three Dog Night. That'd be the second one now because Corey Wells died, I think a few years ago. Chuck Nigger on died. And you and I were talking about it. It's like we're amazed he lasted this long. He was a major heroin addict. Yeah. With everything that he went through battling with drugs over the years, uh, he, he passed away yesterday at the age of 83. Um, wow, to have lived at 83. Is, is pretty amazing in and of itself. Uh, at one point, um, he was, it was so bad. He was just selling anything and everything. Um, he was just selling everything. Um, to, to buy drugs. And, you know, the talent in that band. Yeah. I remember in San Antonio, a buddy of mine, uh, Billy lived a couple houses down and loved Three Dog Night. Just loved Three Dog Night and really got me for the first time to sit down. I mean, I heard it on the radio as a kid. But he got me to sit down and listen to it. And it was like my first real appreciation for talented vocals and musicianship that was, it was outstanding.

So, uh, I just, this all just flowed in from everything that we were talking about. I wasn't even sure what to do with it. I was like, I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm just like, I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm just like, I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm just like, I'm not sure what to do with it. We were talking about, I wasn't even thinking about, I wasn't thinking about talking about this, but when we just somehow, when you mentioned Newsom, I, I thought about the story I saw yesterday where he, uh, they vogue did a, uh, story on him and Jim Garry from national review commented on it. Let me just read a couple of sentences here. A reporter who was sent to write a profile of a governor and likely presidential candidate should be embarrassed to write sentences like these. Here we go. You ready? In the article on Gavin Newsom, let's get this out of the way. He is embarrassingly handsome. His hair seasoned with silver at ease. Seasoned. Yes. His at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his final state of the state address and then goes on where he just pounds on, uh, you know, uh, you know, pounds on everything. He goes, uh, and I'm Trump goes, this must drive Trump nuts. Newsom, lithe, ardent, energetic, a glimmer of optimism in his eye. Kennedy Esk add to that his stunning wife and four adorable kids and the executive strut of a self made millionaire who has spent the past seven years at the helm of a state big, complex and rich enough to be a nation of its own. And then Jim Gehry writes, wait, it gets worse. By the way, uh, Kennedy Esk, which Kennedy? Robert Kennedy, Jr. Ted. Here we go. Newsom's lanky frame was folded onto a sofa, a bit too low slung for him. This made him lean back away from me, or it could be that his body language had nothing to do with ergonomics and as a function of Newsom's quality of what wants being Gregorius and a loof. And as he wrote later on, Jim Gehry, he goes, you can't be both of those. They're opposite of each other. You're not even paying attention to your surf. Easy to know, excuse me, easy to get along with. Hard to know is how one former San Francisco columnist said about him. Does he bear his soul? Not easily said one of Newsom's dearest friends. Oh my gosh. And it just goes on and on and on. And, and I, oh, this is, this is the one I love. At the time, his friend did not see a mayor, a governor, or a presidency on the horizon, Gavin's too much of an artist. He's a sensitive soul. Wow. Yet this is what Vogue's maya singer chose to write about in her profile of California governor Gavin Newsom. Uh, singer was the correspondent who wrote Vogue's cover piece on the former first lady, Jill Biden. By the way, you wouldn't even see, you wouldn't even see a right leaning publication. Describe. A Republican like that ever. No. Well, maybe Senator Kennedy. As he writes here, first, you can't be at once gregarious and aloof. Gregarious means to enjoy the company of others. Yeah. A loop means removed or distance either physically or emotionally. Right. You can be one or the other at different times, but you can't exhibit both qualities simultaneously. Now, if I'm evaluating a potential future president, I want to know what he's done in his past as an elected official and what he wants to do as president. I don't care if the reporter finds him embarrassingly handsome. I don't care if the correspondent thought she spotted a glimmer of optimism in his eyes. I don't care how he sits in a chair. He's not running to be captain of the Starfleet Enterprise. Then singer writes, and this is the best part. There were topics I didn't get to discuss with him. The LA wildfires, contraction and corporate consolidation in Hollywood. Homelessness. You know the important things. Right. I need to talk about how embarrassingly handsome he was and how he was both gregarious and aloof. Oh my God. She starts with the first thing she starts with that she didn't get time to discuss with why you were busy drooling. Oh, why? Seriously, you're you're dealing. I mean, there may be there may. I'm sure there's political activism on her part because no reporter worth their salt, whatever do do that. But there's also a teenage girl child. No, it is. I was about to say it's this is this is a 13 year old girl who is right now. Probably she's probably searching for a poster of Gavin is to put on her wall. That's that's so horrible. Because here's the thing. If you were to get a 13 year old girl to interview Gavin Newsom, let's say somebody who's just completely disconnected, doesn't even live in California, disconnected from politics altogether to sit down. Okay, this is the governor of California. His name is Gavin Newsom. Maybe you've seen him on TV. We're going to give you a chance for your school newspaper or whatever to interview. You would probably get some very important questions. You know, the first would be the basics of what's it like to be the governor. And California is a pretty big state. What's the biggest problem in being the governor? You know, you would eventually get to some critical thinking that even children could come up with because if a 13 year old were told ahead of time, you're going to sit down with the governor of California, even knowing nothing about how California is run, knowing nothing about the background of Gavin Newsom. They would likely come up with a couple of thoughtful questions. Yeah. It sort of reminded me of, and I can't believe it's. 32 years ago. Yeah. Remember the, remember the, the MTV interview with Clinton? Yeah. What kind of underwear do you wear? Well, where boxers when Hillary's around and when the ladies around. No, I'm not going to go there. And then the same, the same question was asked to remember Newt Gingrich was on a couple months later, right? And somebody, you know, asked that question. He goes, that's a stupid question. What's next? Right. It's about the serious issues. You want to play childish games, you know, go somewhere else. Right. Yeah. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I really asked a great question. What kind of underwear do you have? Are you wearing? Well, I can imagine Vogue sitting down with me. Eric's chin was seasoned with another chin and yet a third chin. He was both aloof and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, very aloof. He quite often answered with Yaha. No, it'd be like we, in interviewing Eric, who's, you know, got the facial features absolutely dead on of Hitler. Right? No, if it was a conservative, yeah. You know, who else? He had, he had three days growth. You know, who else wore facial hair? He had two eyes. You know, who else had two eyes? Hitler. I was almost afraid to be in the same room with Mr. Harley. I mean, it's, this is so bad. I was afraid to be in the same room with Mr. Harley. I mean, it's, this is so bad. Where's the editor going? Okay. You need to go up. Uh, you need to go home and sober up and then come back and rewrite this. Because this just sounds like you went to a bar with your girlfriends and, and, and you're just slobbering all over, you know, the, each other with the, with these compliments, his, his hair's seasoned with gray. Probably three cocktails would get you there. That's your lightweight, but yeah. Well, no, I'm assuming, I'm assuming 130 pounds. Well, you know, I, I, point, 0.06 in your blood system. You're not drunk, but you're, well, here's your, you're in, in, you're practicing. We're, we're probably given the singer way too much room here because I'm, I'm guessing she's completely sober when she wrote this. That's the scarier part. I was saying, infatuation, intoxication. I couldn't even get it out. I started laughing too hard. Yeah. It's, it's, she's embarrassingly sober when she wrote this. I'm guessing. Well, that's the, it's, it's beyond activism. What you see here is Miss Singer and, and Vogue, because they, you know, they publish this setting up again, the rock star thing. Yep. That's where it's going. You know, the adoration, embarrassingly handsome. Well, that's, that's what caught me immediately was the fact that we said this a long time ago. Yeah. That Democrats aren't changing at all. Right. They're not the, the far left. They're, they're going to continue. You saw what happened in Virginia. It's what's going to, they hope to happen. They hope, you know, their, their goal is for it to happen in Texas too. Yeah. After, you know, the, the, the, the state Senate seat the other day on Saturday. That's what they're hoping. Right. We can, because they sit there and they look and they go, the, the average independent is out there. They don't care about anything. As we said yesterday, they don't care about anything. They don't care about Venezuela. They don't care about Iran. They don't care about the Kennedy Trump center. They don't care about anything except prices. And what's the government going to do for me? That's what they care about. And so Democrats are going to play off that knowing that the person is who's in power, his party is the one that gets blamed. We saw that in 2024. You're in power. Prices are high. You get blamed. You can throw out everything is great. It doesn't matter to these people. And all of a sudden we're willing to vote for the next people, even though we've seen exactly what they've done in Virginia, which is as soon as they took over, they put in the, the, the legislations up there for so many, so many taxes that will hit the poor and the middle class. Well, we can go next door to West Virginia years ago after Obama promised to bankrupt the coal industry, the West Virginia Coal Miners Association in Dorstin. Yeah. I mean, it, this is what we talk about when we, we say, look, there's, you know, there can be momentum in one direction or the other. And then there can be momentum you can't see. One thing that you, that is always clear is the economy. One thing that is always clear is what's going on with people's bank accounts. And if you're not in tune with that, you're not in tune. By the way, another line would be Mr. Harley was embarrassingly embarrassing. Like that one. We are Red Eye Radio. Coming up more with Gary MacDemiro and Eric Harley. It's Red Eye Radio. We are Red Eye Radio. He's our Curley and I'm Gary MacDemiro. Well, Mimdani is off to a rough start, isn't he? Yeah, it's not going well. You know, it's in December when he was having trouble putting staffers together and, you know, an old man, you know, he was going to be in the you know, it's in December when he was having trouble putting staffers together and, you know, an administration together had of being sworn in. I think the writing was on the wall, but you can go back even further. And that's when in the days leading up to him winning that election. A great number of people who said they were still going to vote for him were also saying his policies won't work. Was getting blasted for the homeless that have died. Yeah. And then Jonathan Turley here with complaints rising around New York days after the storm, citizens are learning that Mimdani's promise of the warmth of collectivism was apparently his snow policy. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Snow removal. Well, conditions in New York, D.C. and Virginia are a disgrace. What is missing is any expectation of better government performance growing up in Chicago under the daily machine voters accepted graft and patronage. There was only one unbreakable rule. You had to clear the snow. And you got to you got to clear the trash. Trash is building up. But the but at the governor's mansion, it was perfectly clean. He got backlash over that over the weekend. The mayor's mansion or the governor? I'm sorry, the mayor's mansion. I already promoted the governor. He's not governor. Yes. Is he controlling all of me now, too? Oh, yes.

Whether you're up late or you're just starting your day. Welcome to the show from the Uniden America Studios. This is Red Eye Radio. All across America, we are Red Eye Radio. He is here, Carly and I'm Gary MacDemira. Welcome and good morning. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Here we go. Yeah, well, you saw the some of the analysis. In fact, it was a Republican analysis of the the district in Tarran County, Texas. Yeah, that Trump won by what was it? He won by 14 points. 14 and then she won and then he won by 17 the Democrat. Right. So 31 point swing. And the Republican analysis of it was it was independence. Right. And we've said this many times before and and it really. Maybe I've just been doing this too long. I mean, it seems like it's something that I've repeated over and over again. The Republican Party should always be a conservative party that when it gets into power should promote conservative ideology and then conservative ideology since it works is very, very easy to explain to people because the goal is to be conservative and convince independence. It's the right way to go. That's it. Yeah, you win. The Republican Party and this administration, this term have not been successful in doing it for the last year. And that's the prize we said yesterday. When you talk about independence, you can talk about all the foreign policy stuff. I go back to when and it's something that you recognized after 2016 when they went to Harlem and said, why do you think Trump won? They said, because Hillary's talking about stuff that doesn't matter to us at all. And Trump's talking about things that affect us. Yeah. And that was really the border and the economy. Yeah. Now he won the border, but the border now has become ice. Right. But I still don't think that that's what's driving people. It's prices. Yeah, I think so. I think especially if you look at District 9 in Texas, look, we're a border state. We we've seen how what it takes for enforcement to do their job when it comes to enforcing the border. The stories are everywhere. You're you're you're very much used to seeing that kind of maybe not the protest or part of it, but which is where Jasmine Crockett and her Senate bid ads, it's all about, you know, and peach gnome and and, you know, do away with ice and and all of that. But in Texas, we understand that there's a job to do. We also also understand where the agitators come in and who's responsible and who isn't. And so it comes down to what people what people are doing, what people are going through on a daily basis. And there's there's no arguing with their with their pocketbook. There's no arguing with their wallet, their bank account. It just isn't. You can throw all the GDPs out there, the CPI's, the consumer confidence. You can throw all these things out there. It means nothing to them. Yeah, those independence. It means nothing. It matters. What am I paying and what's going on? Oh. Last month, the most expensive natural gas bill I've ever received during the wintertime. Yeah. Most expensive ever. And when you look, you can sit there and say, do the general as we've done before the the the the the CPI, the the the core, you could all that stuff, which is important. We bring it up all the time because it gives if you or somebody pays attention to economics, it does matter in, you know, in the in general, where we're going. But that doesn't that's blah, blah, blah. We took it down from nine to three percent or two point seven. Why can't you see it? Because it's two point seven on top of 25 percent. That's Biden's fault. Yeah, but you said you were going to lower prices day one. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the real they they're not those those independence out there are not like us. They're not saying, yeah, but when you when you look out there, there are some pretty there's some optimistic notes you can look. They don't care. What's it costing me now? You said it was going to go away day one. It's a year in. That's all they care about. Yep. And we warn this administration. We warn the last administration. Ignore prices to your own peril. Well, and, you know, the problem, too, is arguing with people's bank accounts when if you're doing the work that people believe are necessary and you're showing some results, that's one thing. But you started with a promise you can't keep. And that's lower prices. But if you didn't have that promise in place and you came in and you were making the effort and you were doing things, this is what we're going to do every single day to increase your buying power. That's that's that's those are the magic words. Increase the buying power of families everywhere. Inflation is a given as a constant. You're not going to change that. True deflation happened only once and that's during the Great Depression. And it happened for a very bad reason. And you don't want that. You don't want a slow economy being, you know, you don't want to be especially during a slow economy. Out there cheering that inflation is finally getting to deflation. Well, that's not a political win. You can't and it wouldn't have been during the Great Depression. So your only hope is to your only promise you can make is we're going to work to bring your buying power back. That's what we want to do. Every where every family benefits, by the way, that's across the board. Because if you work to that end, then all of a sudden it's. Democrats, independents, Republicans, every rank and file feels it. If you get the results that are intended and. We're now into February. I said we get to November for the elections and I don't know what you do to put it in place now to make it work. I don't have confidence there's anything that you can make. Work at this point that would get you the results in time. Well, and even if they even if the president decided to get rid of tariffs, which he isn't going to. I mean, he the Wall Street Journal editorial he wrote the other day. Was pure BS. Sorry, folks, it's pure BS. He he said, for example, that because of the tariffs, the trade deficit, we've slashed our monthly trade deficit by an astonishing 77 percent. Census Bureau reported last week, the trade deficit increased by nearly 37 percent in November, the most recent month, which data is available. And first the first 11 months of 2025 trade deficit was four percent higher than it had been in 2024. Well, and here's the other thing. Families aren't looking at the rank and files, not looking at trade deficit. They won't even tell they can't even tell you what right. But my point is he's saying the economy is better than ever. Well, no, using these as an example, I'm adding to your point. Because if you're going to make a false point, you're making a false point on something that nobody cares about. That's the whole point. You can't because you're not going to get the win, even if it were true. How is it resounding if it doesn't show up in the bank accounts of the American people? It's not. It doesn't. It doesn't resonate. And, you know, everything right now on the budget and then the health care bill, you know, they were talking last week. All right, here's what we got on the budget. And it looks like we've got a deal to keep most of the government open. And all right, it's bipartisan effort and and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and meanwhile. There was talk on the health care thing and they were saying, well, the health care thing is not going to get done until and you had a number of Democrats and some Republicans, we're not even touching that until we get the spending thing completely remedied and out of the way. And then, you know, that's going to hit some road bumps between now and then. And then who knows where health care goes? We shouldn't be subsidizing Obamacare because Obamacare shouldn't be there. That's how we feel about it here on the show. But politically, you're in it. And now you own part of it because you moved everybody's cheese on that, which means it's your responsibility now from now until the end of time. It's partly you. If you didn't abolish it and get rid of it when you could have, then it's never going to happen, which means now you've got to feed that monster over and over again, likely till the end of time. And then Trump used the Harvard Business Study on tariffs and said that foreign producers and middlemen are paying at least 80 percent of the tariff cost. Well, who the middlemen, by the way, the middlemen are American companies. It goes, in fact, the paper cited that the study he cited said, quote, tariffs led to both rapid and gradual retail price increases. The study found that prices began rising within days of the March announcement and continued to increase steadily over subsequent months. And also the imported goods rose roughly twice as much as domestic goods relative to pre tariff trends. Tariffs are pushing prices higher. The Harvard Business School, Trump's favorite source on the matter recently recently noted that prices for imported goods are up 9.7 percent from their pre tariff trends, while domestic prices are up 4.4 percent, which is exactly what we said. You're going to have the prices of foreign goods will go up. But so will the prices of American goods, not as quickly because they wish to be a little bit lower in order to sell it, but they will go up. Yeah. And the 4.4 percent is over way over the 2 percent number that they're looking for in inflation. And finally, the one where he said, when I imposed historic tariffs on nearly all foreign countries last April, the critics said my policies would cause a global economic meltdown. That meltdown didn't occur. Why didn't it occur? He said the experts were wrong that they said the meltdown was going to occur, but it didn't occur. Why didn't the meltdown occur? Why? Trump had to back off. Well, it's like everybody remember they had to back off on everybody. As the bond, the bonds, he had a he that that's when the whole taco thing came around, because he had a reverse. Everybody, including the administration, promoting the success of the tariffs or which tariffs would those be? Would that be the 200 plus exemptions on food items that you issued to bring prices down? Yeah. You cannot, you cannot tell people what is self evident to them that it is happening or it isn't happening when they feel that every day in their bank accounts and in their economy. Well, and this is a problem. You know, again. And we're saying that we said we said we said we want the years we want Trump to be successful and we want Republicans to win. We said it during the Biden years. There's that infamous moment when Biden's sitting there, I think he was in the Oval Office. And he said he just learned that day how much a pound of ground beef cost. So I'm sorry. What? You realize you're saying that out loud? You just learned. You can't be that out of touch. If there's any liaison you need. It's somebody who is constantly telling you what's going on with the consuming public and what's going on in their bank accounts. If you don't have those internals churning at 100 percent every day, all day, to show you exactly what people are thinking on that level, then you're not doing your job. You're just not. The economy didn't crash. It didn't melt down because he backed off on the tariffs. And and you can't you can't argue over and over again with this or that or, you know, trade deficit, this or trade debt. None of that matters. None of it matters. The only thing that matters is the deficit in their bank account. Thanks. Some of the numbers I got from there, some of the research done by Reason magazine. I just use there. So yeah, they're a libertarian magazine, which means they want a lot less government interference into your life. Exactly. We are right. I radio. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by House Products. Tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. No surprise about Pucks, a Tottie Phil's Groundhog Day forecast. Six more weeks of winter. That is probably not what a lot of folks in the Midwest or the East want to hear. We are in the midst of a brutal cold outbreak across eastern United States. And USDA meteorologist Brad Rippy points out Phil's prognostication matches up with National Weather Service long range projections of below normal temperatures to be likely through the remainder of February in parts of the country, notably the Midwest and the Northeast that extends into the Mid-Atlantic as well with potential of continued ag impacts from the freezing cold, primarily on southern crops. Yet the western half of the U.S. has been mild and dry this winter, a trend expected to continue into March. It has been spring coming early, not a good situation for NoPak or for some of the things that we need to get that summer water supply. I'm Rod Bain reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Cinex, Fuels and Loops. We'll be right back with more Red Eye Radio with Eric Hurley and Gary McNamara. We are Red Eye Radio and he's our chronic. I'm Gary McNamara. Are they going to have the vote today on the budget? Yeah, so today. OK, there it is. Yeah, it's supposed to be today. Yep. And apparently they have some kind of an agreement. You have a lot of conservatives. Excuse me. You have one or two of the conservatives in Congress. One. One. One. One half of the conservatives. Of a conservative. Upset that the was the SAVE Act. Yeah. Which is you've got to be an American citizen. You know, proven American citizen birth certificate, whatever. And by the way, when they say Burt, were you going to present your birth certificate now to vote? No, if you got to enhance license, you've already passed that test. Yeah, right. Anybody who hasn't. And if everybody has an enhanced license in the United States that covers the vast majority of the people, then you have. Yeah, that's your proof of citizenship is your license. Right. So. But they were furious that the president didn't want it included in there. And they agreed when the president said, OK, we'll have that. You know, let's make that the Congress leader, the leadership in Congress. So. We'll have that as a separate vote. But think about that. This is how bad it is right now. When you ask Americans. I think the last poll was over 80 percent of Americans believe you should be a citizen of the United States and of ID to vote. Yeah. Doesn't matter to the independence right now. Doesn't matter. All they care about is what are the prices? Well, when we're not in Georgia, as a Democrat was saying years ago, I don't even know any Democrats who are against voter ID. And now they're all against it. Yeah. 100 percent of the. Excuse me, maybe not Federman. I don't know where Federman is on this. Yeah, OK. But as close to 100 percent as you can get of the Democrats, do not what they want fraud in the elections. Yep. Yep. They don't want ice anywhere near polling places. Nope. Why not? So we'd be afraid of ice that they're here legally. You're listening to Red Eye Radio from the Uniden America Studios. We are Red Eye Radio. He's our Carly and I'm Gary MacNamara. Welcome and good morning. Download our Red Eye Radio app today. You can listen when you choose. You know, we had talked about this yesterday and we said, wow, there's not really a lot of coverage on it. There are in conservative circles, but there really wasn't much that we saw on mainstream media. And then I saw that Brittany Bernstein from National Review wrote, the dam just broke on the transgender medical malpractice lawsuits. Where's the coverage? Yeah. Despite the major implications of the case, zero mainstream outlets have covered it. In fact, independent reporter Benjamin Ryan says he was the only journalist to attend the entirety of the three week trial in White Plains, New York. And that's where the 22 year old woman sued her psychologist and a plastic surgeon for facilitating her gender transition double mastectomy in 2019. And we went through it point by point yesterday, but her point here is. Really be interesting to see. I got to see what newsbusters, newsbusters probably looked at this. Yeah, I was actually looking on Monday. During the day myself, I thought I'm curious to see who's going to cover it. I didn't see anything. Here it is. The verdict has only been covered by right publications and independent media, including the Daily Wire, The Daily Caller, The New York Post, The Free Press, Fox News, and a handful of other outlets. But the New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, nothing. It's no surprise that the media have given little attention to the case, given that mainstream outlets have had a mixed track record on covering the issues. In 2023, the New York Times published a poorly evidenced article titled How a Few Stories of Regret Fuel the Push to Restrict Gender Transition Care. The article relied on biased experts and organizations to claim the concerns over gender transition procedures for minors are overblown. We said this years ago this is going to start changing when lawsuits start happening, which will start with the minors and may even eventually go to adults. Because this case, from what I can see, would apply to somebody who was an adult. Yeah. Because what they said is, I don't believe we had gender, I don't believe I had gender dysphoria. They said I did. Yeah. And they convinced me to do this. Right. And so the mother was saying they convinced me to do so. So I did it, but I was torn between it. But they said, no, it's the only right reason to go because, hey, if you don't, she might commit suicide. And so that would apply to this. This wasn't targeting the the she was not saying I'm a minor and this shouldn't happen to minor. She was saying this is malpractice. Right. And the whole thing came down to what's gender dysphoria? If you say, I mean, there's no what's the scientific analysis of it. If you say, and we know legally when Obama started this entire thing with Title IX, it was no, I mean, it's a it's a social construct. Gender is a social construct. It's something that socially socially we have created. So what's the medical analysis then? Nobody knows what gender dysphoria is. How does a jury know? All I know is I've suffered terribly and I was a minor and I had to get a completely, totally unnecessary mastectomy. Yep. Well, and you know, that gets down to the basis of of the damage here. What damage was done was irreversible. It's for a lifetime. It affected this person because you can talk about, you know, you get into the dysphoria and you can say, all right, I don't know, through counseling or whatever, they can deal with issues or if they decide they go that direction and don't make any permanent changes to their body. That at some point it can be reversed if indeed they decide they've made the wrong decision. Once you start doing surgery, it's over. They no longer have the ability to make that decision again and reverse that. They no longer have a chance to come back and say, I made a bad decision. The massive mental health crisis here is being completely ignored by the medical community. And the left keeps promoting that it's a huge mental health problem. Right. They don't even know it. Right. But, you know, we've seen it in two separate back and forths before Congress. Yep. Just one, a couple of weeks ago with what's his name? Who was the senator? Oh, senator from Missouri. Josh Hawley. Josh Hawley, yeah. Happened again, but the first one was where he was dealing with the professor from Berkeley. And he's trying to figure out, this goes back a few years, goes back like four years ago, please explain it to me. Well, this line of question is transphobic. What do you mean? I'm asking questions. I want to know where you're coming from on this. You're the expert. I'm asking you. Well, let me ask you a question. He said, OK, do you believe that men can get pregnant? No. See, see, there you are. You're transphobic. You're transphobic. I don't even know what that means. But what do you why? Why is this bad? What I'm saying, because transgenders have one of the highest rates of attempted suicide. Oh, so there's a mental health problem here. No, there's no mental health problem here. If you tell somebody you disagree with them and they want to commit suicide, everything is fine. Yeah. As long as you shut up about it, everything will be fine. But you and I just along, we said, my God, when you start. With major operations that are irreversible. You know, the insectamies that that's not genitals. I mean, it's just that's what it comes down to. And you have there is no science on this. Nobody knows. It's what that person says at that time. And health organizations are getting involved in this. And this is a fairly in terms of history. This is a fairly recent occurrence of events. It's not like doctors and surgeons have been doing this for decades and decades and decades and decades. So the point being is that minors, it wasn't happening at all. No. And the point being is that. We haven't had enough time to understand the long term effects. But in my opinion, as a layman. It's not necessary because you don't perform anything that's irreversible ever. On a minor or an adult. You just don't. And yet they keep doing it. This is. This is the one that this is the case that will kick open the rest of them. Yep. And. At some point, even the liberal activists in newsrooms won't be able to ignore it. Well, when you when you see it. Because the legal thing came down to, well, they said, gender dysphoria. Well, obviously I didn't because I've changed my mind. Yeah. You win the lawsuit. Yeah. Yep. You said they gender dysphoria. So it reverses itself. If it reverses itself, then you're doing something that's permanent. You don't know whether this person is going to be reversed. Right. You're doing completely unnecessary surgery on them. Right. And we just said from the forget about. The the insanity from Democrats and everything else. Just look at the if you're a lawyer looking at this, you're a lawyer for the if you're a lawyer for the hospital. You're the insurance companies for the hospitals. How did this ever get even this far? I mean, who's looking for malpractice? Think about think about. Necessary surgeries, medically necessary surgeries. Think about everything that you have to go through if you've ever had minor surgery. What you have to all the legal paperwork and everything you have to sign. Here's a consent form for this and then all of this. If you're going to be given anesthesia and be put under. You've got to sign legal paperwork paperwork. And yet you have. I don't know how many hospitals and surgeons that are willing to do this because somebody wants it. In order for them to justify it, they have to somehow say somehow. And it comes from nothing. No basis whatsoever. You have they have to determine that it's medically necessary. To save their life. Yeah. Or give them even a better quality of life. You could say, All right, I had knee replacement surgery gives me better quality of life. I can I can walk better and things like this, even giving them better quality of life. You've got no basis for that. None. And because you're doing something that's irreversible and what you don't know. Is what's on the horizon. You can't tell anyone with certainty what is going to happen in the future with that individual mentally and even experimental drugs. You got to sign everything away. Yeah. If you're going to do experimental drugs, if you got cancer or something like that, it's like, we don't know, but we've had success here. But boom, you got to sign this. Right. Well, look at all of the look at our all the pharmaceutical ads. That run that are only disclaimers is there's there's a few that run that are just three minute disclaimers. Like, okay, thanks for the legal stuff for three minutes. But what is the drug? I don't even know this drug or what it does. You're talking about the drug three hours ago and now three hours of disclaimers and then they've got it. They've just got to they've got to run it as a matter of a legal purpose serving a legal purpose. Well, my gosh, how is the law. Any of the lawyers for any of the hospital systems not looking at this going. You're begging to be shut down. Yeah. By performing irreversible elective surgery, right. You are begging, right that the patient can win that the patient can win anytime because they simply say, well, they said a gender dysphoria. Obviously, I did not because I did not because now I don't feel that way. Right. Boom, you lose. We talked about this a couple of years ago. And here we are. It's the exact same conversation. It was inevitable. It was inevitable. It would get to this point. We are Red Eye Radio. Get in touch with Red Eye Radio toll free at 866 90 Red Eye. We are Red Eye Radio. He's here.

Number one, Governor Tim Walls, whatever he says, believe me, is a great deal. He was on with Sean Hannity talking about Tim Walls. Okay. Sean, number one, Governor Tim Walls, whatever he says, believe the opposite. I'm sorry, the man learned a lie before we learned to talk. He's just a... He's just a... I can't hope that you crack me up. Well, he's just a less masculine version of Hillary Clinton. Oh, man. Oh, it's funny because it's true. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh, that's greatness. And I don't know if it would be as funny if he didn't have his Southern accent. It's... It adds... I don't know what it adds to it, but it adds... I'm hoping he lives a very long life, because I'm hoping if there's any point where he stops public service, that he goes on the road as a stand-up comedian. I'll go to his shows anytime.
