06-10-26 Part One - Maine Wants a Commie-Nazi

Now it's Red Eye Radio Gary McNamara and Eric Hurley talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day whether you're up late or you're just starting your day welcome to the show from the Relief Factor Studios this is Red Eye Radio. Hello Cross America we are Red Eye Radio he is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara welcome and good morning. Alright so main Democrats Eric they they had their opportunity because Mills was she was still in it right you know she never officially withdrew so they could have put in the protest vote but it's clear main Democrats want the common Nazi. Oh I thought you were gonna say they had an opportunity to convince her to convert to Nazism. Oh no that wasn't my point but I can understand you're coming to that conclusion. Yeah that's not what I meant but I can understand it. There would probably be a big furor over that. You did not see that coming. So another horrible jokes so buckle up folks. So Mills got 19.6% of the vote. Platner got 72.4% of Democrats in Maine say we want the Nazi. We want the Nazi. Landslide that's the kind of landslide dictators get. You know you would think that you know this forget about California. I'm not sure Hugo Chavez got those numbers. I'm saying maybe Maine is already an authoritarian government where the elections are because I mean come on we're talking about Maine you're telling me that Maine would vote 72.4% for a communist Nazi. Now I have to ask for a recount I think those numbers are probably maybe low. My gosh. Because if we're I mean this is what you see in Venezuela. This is what you see. These are dictator numbers here. Not quite a hundred percent but my gosh landslide. Okay yeah great point I mean we don't want to we don't want to compare it to North Korea. Right yeah that would be wrong to Kim Jong-un. That would be unfair to North Korea. Well there was a problem when he got 102.3% of the vote. Something was wrong at that point. The man didn't add up in North Korea. He allowed some tourists and you know they have a lot of tourists. They allow tourists to vote. Oh I saw the I just read a couple of it. It's like North Korea because they're selling arms and doing this their economy is doing better. Oh yeah and I'm thinking to myself and I'm thinking to myself the first thing well the first thing I want I can't wait till somebody actually analyzes you know the the the figures that that actually has the the numbers and can I don't know who actually has the numbers and also whose pockets the money is in North Korea. But I'm thinking to myself wow because I forgot who it was a liberal publication. I think it was the time. Was it the time? So okay yeah or because I think it was. I'm thinking to myself are they trying to sell are they trying to sell a totalitarian communist dictatorship now. Is that the point I mean not well now they did it with Venice what well now that you well look you've got Tucker Carlson. Candace Owen said it the other day was talking about what a wonderful country Russia is. I mean is this the push now from the and I don't know the far left is becoming the far right and the far right is becoming the far left. Yeah it's just it's getting confusing here. I mean remember Tucker went into a Russian Walmart and did some shopping. He was there. Oh my god. Oh no it was it was the Wall Street Journal. No yeah it was the world's most surprising economic success story is North Korea. Well I don't know if success. Yeah exactly they can improve updated Sunday. They can improve their economy if they're getting if they're getting money from Russia China whatever and doing some arms sales whatever. I mean they're so down in the toilet you could double that you could double their GDP and it's still nothing. Yeah right. Wow I hope the I hope that the I hope the editorial page makes a comment on it. And they've got a picture here. I didn't see this before I was on the app and and I probably just scrolled past the picture because I was reading one of the pictures toward the top of the article again this is from well the last update was Sunday Wall Street Journal. It has from a point of view of the driver in a car a driver in a car with two cell phones. So he's got two cell phones going and it says below the picture taxis in Pyongyang can be hailed through an app akin to Uber. Are you sure that's not Kim Jong-un just rounding people up. Hey get in where are we going. Well is he show you is the hotel there yet. They anybody in the hotel yet that's been. Yeah I don't know. It's been there for what 20 years restaurants there serve up brick oven pizza and chicken wings. Yeah I saw that. And show me and show me where the average person is is actually able to participate in in this. I look are they sure they weren't in South Korea. I mean I just their map was upside down. The first thing I thought was on the same day the planner wins the primary. You know they they they they had that story and I'm thinking to myself you know is the is the by the way the news division of the Wall Street Journal is different. Yes editorial very different. Of it. They're basically you know two different two different companies. And there is no report as of yet that because it's a different company that Barry Weiss is going to control the editorial portion of the of the news division of the Wall Street Journal CNN. Yes burst out laughing yesterday when I saw that one. Well no you know what I thought of is what I said when Anderson Cooper announced he was leaving 60 minutes to spend more time with his family which I knew was live because nobody wants to spend more time with their family. And so then he so he leaves 60 minutes about the time that they that it was I think it was after it was long after Barry Weiss. I don't know if she was in place yet or the new producer for 60 minutes was in place yet. Anyway I said then I said well here's the thing you know with the sales see of of all the properties with Paramount Plus or Paramount basically you know taking control of. Of all this and getting. Ultimately control of CNN. I wondered at that time this does that mean Barry Weiss is going to get the job to basically overlook CNN. Well I which means Anderson Cooper if he was fleeing to avoid working with Barry Weiss he's still at CNN. Well but I was thinking yesterday that because I saw some stories written saying. Does Scott Pelley realize. Yeah that she can she's not a Republican conservative Republican. You know this this back and forth is going on between liberals. This this isn't well Trump yeah Trump pick Barry Weiss. Yeah right. Are you you know are you kidding me. And so what I realized it comes down to here are the possibilities. That Scott Pelley wanted no changes at all that he does believe that he's going to lose well well I mean he's gone now that he was going to lose his ability to be a political activist and and still continue to lie that you know he's you know fair and just telling the truth or he's a homophobe. There's there's your choices because Barry Weiss is a lesbian right. She's a lesbian Democrat. And to use that kind of words I mean it has to be or it's a combination of both it's either. He wanted to continue his political activism. He wanted to continue his political activism and he said as a homophobe I do not want to work for a lesbian or a combination of both could be. We're just throwing out the possibilities. Well that's because I'm trying to think like a Democrat. Yeah no we don't put the hyphenated words before the people. No to me Barry Weiss is a journalist. I know her for her work. I don't know her personally. And I think it's terrible that that policy that that possibility exists especially during Pride Month from Scott Pelley. It's a great point. That's bad timing Scott. And I just I'm telling I just it's it's so much fun. Trying to think like a liberal. Well I just I keep going back to the question that the Chicago Republican Party asked me on social media the other day I answered or answered it on there. You know I think Scott Pelley will show up to the unemployment line and then I'll apply for unemployment. You know but I just picture him showing up to random businesses. I would like to apply for a job. No you know it would be the best. He applies for unemployment and then CVS comes back and says no no no he was fired for cause. And so he couldn't get well no that's it because he was fired for cause. Because he was fired for cause. You know their basis is we want to make sure that we don't have to abide by the contract. So we list this as cause and saying disparaging things during that meeting is what they they quoted. And so we believe that is the basis for the cause firing for cause. But if you know if you apply it to unemployment he's not going to get us 500 bucks a week. If he's fired for cause. You know if I were Elon Musk I would hire Scott Pelley as my butler. Yes. Have him open the door. I just want you to open the door and say yes. Like in a question for him. I pictured him. Yes. I pictured him out of that suit and in a butler tuxedo. Well you know it would be the exact same presentation as 16 years ago. The exact same presentation as 60 minutes. Yes sir the door. No. Mr. Musk does not eat door dash and then back in the background. Musk is going. Yeah I do. Bring me my charcoal bell. But getting back to the original point. Yeah. Somehow we evolve and sometimes in a conversation but it all flows. It does. Very neat. Yeah. Or not. That the Platinum almost 73% of the vote. So the Democrats in Maine have made it clear please give us a communist Nazi. Yeah. We got to have the communist Nazi. Look it's the trend right. It's the trend. New York City. Quite possibly Los Angeles. Did you see the for mayor. Did you. Yo I because I did show it to you yesterday. Yeah. I think it was on Instagram the AI thing of Trump. With the New York Knicks uniform on and he's playing basketball and he's going and going down the court and dunking it and they really look like the AI really look like Mundani and his wife just screaming because he's helping the Knicks win and they're just furious about it and then he goes up like does a spin around and dunks the ball and then starts starts basically pushing out his chest and other type of motions. Show casing. Show casing one. Show boating. Oh my gosh that was just that was hilarious. The AI is incredible. Yeah so that was fun to look at. That may have really been him. I don't know. But yeah Platinum there we go. I mean they're fully behind him. Oh that's yeah. You would think that just out of protest you would have a bunch of Democrats. You know maybe that if it was you know 55-45 or something like that but I mean it was such a big landslide the fact that all of this is known. You know and you think about it and we said it I saw Gutfeld also say it you know basically Platinum has come in and destroyed two things. There's no moral high ground ever for the Democrats again to call any Republican a Nazi and the whole me too thing they just flushed down the toilet. Now it's he says. Right. Right. Doesn't matter what the allegation is anymore it's what he says. Yeah it's and so it's just I mean it's just it is amazing. Now we always knew it. We said this before when you practice identity politics when you judge people by groups and not individuals you get a Platinum. Yes. That's when you get somebody who is a Nazi. That's when you get the anti-Semitism you know that you see in the Democratic Party. That's when you get the acceptance of a Nazi philosophy. Yep. Is when your party has institutionalized identity politics. Yep. And it's full on and it's getting as we said it would worse. It's going everybody thinks well you know they're gonna have to you know even years ago years ago but you said you know at some point they got to make a turnaround they got to make a change. No. Well you've got now you've got a Talerico line trying to pretend he's moving towards the center because they're going back to realize okay we can't promote this anymore so let's lie. Right. So every every major opinion that he had he's now backing off as if he's never had it before and even the interviewer that we played yesterday was like they say that you're this radical but tell us about this. Yeah. No I'm not I don't believe in you know gender you know surgery for children. For children. Right. Yes you do you voted for it. You voted for it. You officially tried to make it happen. So they're finally coming to the conclusion now Platinum's hurting that but in Texas it's like okay we've got to pretend the Talerico is a moderate when he's not he's as radical as you could possibly get. He's vegan but he eats barbecue. But that's okay but Democrats are okay with being lied to it's just like the same with Obama. They're okay with the lies because they're the rank and file the people that are that are voting for them you have to be a liar yourself. Yeah. You have to be in denial if you think they're gonna make things better or you're okay with the lies which means you're an enabler of the lies. If you're voting for them you know they're lying. You know but maybe maybe we should be maybe we should look at Maine and say well at least they're being honest. Yeah. We're common Nazis. Common Nazis. We're trying we're trying to get a nice relationship between Hitler and Lenin. Or Stalin. I mean look at North Korea. Yeah. The economy's booming. We are red-eye radio. Brought to you by Hot Shot 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 JJKeller.com.

What a zoo that was. Martin Luther King's niece. She was there. She'd Jasmine Crockett go after her. She said basically she responded, I pray for you and all this. I mean it was just I'm thinking okay this is Jasmine Crockett's last harrah. But I would tell you this. I didn't see again yesterday because before this all happened you'd see the Southern Poverty Law Centers paid ads all over morning TV. And talking about all the good. They disappeared but the ACLU's on there all the time. The ad I saw yesterday really pounds into the fact that they're protecting the United States from book burning. They're book burning. They're not book burning. Banting books. Banting books. Banting books. No they're not. They won't tell the truth and even the head of the Southern Poverty Law Center answer the questions directly if that's what you believe. And they wouldn't.

It's, you know, a national story. But just paying attention the last couple of days, you know, to the actual trial, which was a pretty short trial. Yeah. And the defense did not go to the max of, in my opinion, of, you know, trying to make the claim of self-defense. To me, it was a pretty cut and dry. And, you know, and I thought about that yesterday. We didn't talk about it on the air yesterday, but I thought about it. I'm like, this is going to be, this is going to be a quick jury. And it was really quick. I mean, you talked about it was really, really quick. Right. And, you know, the other thing is, you know, you go on social media and you would have thought there was, you know, a thousand people outside, you know, the courthouse. There was anywhere between, I saw figures between 100 and 200 people. Right. Yeah. And locally, that's what they were saying. Right. And so you're talking, and equal on both sides of the, of the issue. Right. So you're talking about probably the majority on both sides were probably family and friends. Yeah. Certainly members of the community. Right. And so, you know, it was, but, but I looked at this and I went, well, this is about a slam dunk as you can get in a criminal case of murder. Yeah, it is. And for those not familiar, they were at a track meet and both students were 17 at the time. And the victim had asked Carmelo Anthony to leave this area they were in because he was on the opposing team, track team. And, and so they, he said, you know, he basically asked him, I don't know, I heard, I heard, I saw more than a dozen times asked him to leave. You need to leave. You need to leave. And so it actually came to a shove where the victim shoved Carmelo Anthony. They say, according to witnesses, Carmelo Anthony already had a his hand, one of his hands in his backpack. He brings it out. It has a knife in it in his hand and he plunges it in the heart of the victim. There was no way to come up with a self-defense. I think they were probably in his defense team was probably trying to have making every effort to get there. But there was really no way to get there. You can talk about it. There's special consideration with what they call a an instant crime of passion in the state of Texas. Right. That's, that relates to sentencing. And it's what his defense team was trying to push during the sentencing phase. And it's even then, it, you're, you're looking at a very deliberate act. You can't make the self-defense claim. You can say two kids get in a fight and, but it was, it was a straight on with, with all the witnesses pretty much saying the same thing. He plunged that knife into the heart of the victim. And that's a deliberate action. You can say he lost his mind. It was an act of passion because, you know, they were kids. They can't control their temper. They're competitive because their athletes, all of that, but it still was a deliberate action. And the jury came back with 35 years and it's an aggravated murder charge here, a conviction, which means he'll be eligible for parole in 17 and a half years. He's 19 now. And so, you know, that's, that's what it comes down to the parents of the victim. Of course, as they were testifying during the sentencing phase, saying in the mother, it was just heartbreaking reading it. You know, you'll get to wake up every day. I get to wake up every day to the same, I'm paraphrasing to the same nightmare. My son will never be here again. The victim had a twin brother who showed up in court yesterday and that was the first time. But again, this was not any kind of overcharging case where they were overcharging. You can have the back and forth on manslaughter. It didn't didn't apply according to the jury. And so when you look at this entire case, there's no doubt. I can, I can believe that it is incredibly tragic that you essentially have two lives lost. Carmelo Anthony at one. At some point when he gets out of prison, if there is proper rehabilitation, actually may have a life in his late 30 beginning in his late 30s as early as his late 30s and can go on. The victim will not be around. The victim is dead and you cannot change that. And it's tragic that it came to that, but it did. And we have a justice system that essentially worked in this case. From the very beginning, not hearing, you know, just, you know, just seeing what was reported that had happened. I said, well, you're not going to get self-defense on this. At the minimum, it would be manslaughter and at the maximum, it would be murder. Right. Yeah. And, you know, there's, you know, you're not talking about death penalty murder here because the state of Texas says death penalty or even life. Right. According to how the jury viewed it, it would be interesting to talk to the jury as to why, you know, why they chose, you know, the 35 years. As opposed to a life sentence. As opposed to a life sentence or whatever. Yeah. I mean, and, but when you, when you look at it to me, this was legally, and hearing, you know, hearing the testimony, seeing what, what happened, you know, what happened. The witnesses who testified, it was as close to a slam dunk. I think you could get legally. Yeah. Right. You know, Austin Metcalf, the victim here and his, if you look at his family, what they're going to, and often in cases like this, for me, you, I, I start by looking at what the victims' families are going through. And then you apply again, the fact that they were both very young. I mean, there's, there's, it's tragic all across the board. But again, a justice system worked, I believe, in finding the proper verdict. We can have a debate on punishment. I would like to, I'm with you. I'd love to hear from the jury on that. I don't know that we ever will. They were sequestered throughout. And so I don't know. I, you know, it's, there's, there is no, there is no, there is no when you and I have talked about it. We don't talk, most often don't talk about cases until there is a verdict. And, and that's because we have to wait for the system to, you know, the, the, uh, Well, you see the, you see, or, or if it doesn't work, we'll talk about that. You see the real, you see the real evidence that comes out in the court case. That's the evidence that's being presented by both sides. It's much easier to come up with the determination as to, you know, as to guilt or innocence based on what the evidence is and what the witnesses say. I saw one lawyer commenting locally, uh, on the news and said it's unlikely, you know, it's, it's just not the case historically where you come back with appeals and get a lighter sentence. That would be the only point of an appeal because there is no, there's not going to be any changing of the verdict. And, you know, I just don't believe that that would happen. Well, I haven't, I haven't seen anything that would, that would get you a, a new trial with an appeal. No, I don't, I didn't see any mistakes that were done by the court nor have any been reported. No, that was just speculation on what, what the defense team would do, you know, beyond this. And I didn't hear anything. Oh, no, no, I, I understand. Yeah, I understand. So I, you know, there is, in fact, I mean, you know, if you, if you look at this case, 35 years, which offers in this case, 17 and a half years is where he would be eligible for parole. I, I don't know if that's the best you're going to get. I mean, they could have come up with a shorter sentence, but that was shorter than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be somewhere 50 years to life. And I thought that's what it would be. With parole at 25. Yeah. And I just, I just, well, possibility of parole. Right, right. That's where the possibility comes in at the halfway mark. So I, again, it's just, it's tragic all the way around. There is no when here. There is no. No, and it was heartbreaking. The father who, you know, the Austin Metcalfe's father who lost it. I mean, he just, he was full and he talked about the fact of, you know, again being, Oh, what do you call it? I can't think of the term. He, he couldn't talk about it. Yeah. Yeah. Traumatized. Yeah. No, no, no, no, legally. Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah. The gag order, the gag order. Yeah. I don't know why I couldn't think of that. The gag order on him, which he was just furious about. Yeah. He said, well, you know, everybody else out there was pounding. You know, on, you know, the, the memory of his son, he couldn't say anything. Yeah. And so you could see the anger there. Yeah. I can't imagine that he had neither can I can imagine. And I've never had, you know, that I've never. I think anybody, nobody in my family, nobody close to me. You know, I've had a couple of people commit suicide, but I've never known anybody who's been murdered. Yeah. Right. You know, so, or anybody close to me and I don't know somebody who's young, I can't imagine it. Yeah. And I will admit that when it all happened and one of the thoughts I had was, you know, I think about my, you know, my great nephew, who's that age? And probably a lot of people did too. And if you lose a child, yeah, murder at that age, right? It's just it, it, it. I know one thing. I know that I've seen it happen that that depths. I know somebody who's son died being irresponsible, broke up their marriage. You know, it can, it has the potential to destroy families. Yeah. Even if neither party is at fault in, you know, the victim's family, they haven't done anything wrong. Yeah. But it just is, it's just. Yeah. I've experienced that at the age of 10 in Del Rio, a friend who died suddenly and, and, you know, was just was basically trying to have fun. There was an accident killed him instantly. But the family did not, the parents did not, their marriage did not survive. We are right. I radio coming up more with Gary MacDomer and Eric Harley. It's right. I radio. We are ready to go. He's our colleague and I'm hearing MacDomer. Well, just very quickly in the primaries yesterday, South Carolina, apparently they like Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Yeah. He got over 50% of the votes. So no runoff 56.8%. Nancy Mace ended up in fifth place for the governor's ship and said she. You and I were chuckling during the pre show meeting. Yeah. She said it's because of her stance to release the, you know, Epstein files and you made the great point. You're like, well, the president ran on that. Well, no, that was their promise. Yeah. You know, she said, I probably doomed my endorsement this time around rule for this race from the fact that I insisted on transparency with the Epstein files. Well, no, that's what they promised and right didn't deliver on. So, you know, and maybe I'm sure that's the point she's making is that that's the problem is that I insisted they follow through with their, their, their campaign. When she did the scarlet letter thing. Yeah. I, that, that's when you and I went, I don't need the performative stuff. Don't need the drama. I don't. I just don't need it. Nope. After the hour news is brought to you by how products visit how products.com. This is red eye radio on Westwood one. Now it's red eye radio, Gary McNamara and Eric early talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day, whether you're up late or you're just starting your day. Welcome to the show from the relief factor studios. This is red eye radio all across America. We are red eye radio. He is there. Gary McNamara. I'm telling you yesterday, the Southern poverty loss center in front of the house. Yeah. Yeah. Martin Luther King's niece. Well, Vita King was there. Right. And listened to this back and forth between Jasmine Crockett. Oh, before we go to this, I just want to mention that because I never finished my thought at the bottom of last hour, just remembered it now when I was talking about that. If you're watching any morning TV, you see the ACLU trying to get people to, you know, donate the $19 a month. Right. And the commercial yesterday, I watched like the first 15 seconds, it was all focused on the banning of books. Is there any banning of books going on for adults in the United States? Nope. What are we talking about? Age appropriate materials. This goes all the way back to the whole Disney thing. Yeah. Right. No, it's, it goes back to the end and, and, and DeSantis and that whole thing and book banning and book banning and book banning and the media kept using those words. Yep. And, and, you know, with, in that case too, the don't say gay, don't say gay. That was the bill that they came up with in Florida. Don't say gay, don't say gay. It was the don't say gay bill. Yep. They have to lie to get their point across. And what it was about was age appropriate material for children. Right. And we don't mean 13 year olds or 12 year olds were talking seven and eight year olds. Yeah. That no, in their library, we censor all the time at my elementary school. They censored. Yep. Why you're a child. Right. And so they're calling it, they won't tell you the, the ACLU will not tell you the truth. And if you look at it, what they're promoting, the two things they promote are illegal immigrants and not having age appropriate material for children. That's where the ACLU is now. Right. And I was thinking the same thing with the Southern Poverty Law Center. And I'm like, my God, they, they really, they don't want to answer. If you believe it, be upfront about it. If that's what you believe, do it. But this is the back and forth between Jasmine Crockett and Miss King yesterday. Here we go. Tell people of color who is fighting for who people of color do not feel comfortable or welcome within your party. That's why you have to parade someone who has the name Dr. King attached to them so that people can be confused because I have been reading the comments online and people are like, who is this Dr. King? Because you want them to believe that somehow she espouses who Dr. King was. I wanted to respond. I think you were kind of ready to do that. But we're not giving that opportunity. Would you like to briefly respond to that? Very briefly. Congresswoman, I am a bit emotional. I'm going to watch what I say. But it seems as though you have suggested that I am a bastard to the King family legacy. I am legitimately the daughter of Reverend Alfred Daniel Williams King and Dr. Naomi Ruth Barber King. We are a family who loves God and I love you. God bless you. So a lot kinder than I would have been. And she's the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But she was trying to make it. I don't even know what Jasmine Crox's point was. I don't. People think that you're the reincarnated Dr. King. Yeah, that she was. It sounded like to me that you're not Dr. King himself. So you don't have any say so here. But of course she does. She absolutely does and has for a long time in fact much longer than you've been in Congress. And then this is Chip Roy going back and forth with Southern Poverty Law Center, interim CEO Brian Fair. Ready for this. This is great. All right. Here we go. All right. How many leftist anti-Jewish groups do you have listed on your website? We name them. Anyone listening to this can go to our website and see our again our year in hate and extremism report was released this morning. How many extremist Islamic groups do you have of the 1500 or so organizations you have on your hate map? Again, anyone can go to our website. My office has been looking over and can't really find one. Again, it is the SPLCs. SPLC can provide us a list of the Islamic oriented groups. Do you have on your hate map? Mr. Roy, we don't target any group because of its religion. Really? I want to be clear about that. Really? Yes, that's exactly right. We target no group because of its religion. We target groups because they express statements and engage in activities that demean and vilify. You brought up LGBTQ groups a minute ago. Sorry, Mr. Roy. You brought up LGBT groups a minute ago. You think there are a bunch of Islamic groups that are pro-LGBTQ? Is that the position of the SPLC? I just want to make sure the record is reflecting that. To the laughter. Yeah. Right. I mean, we all know they've become basically, they're a political activist group to attack the right is what they are. Yes. That's what it comes down to. As we know. Yep. That's it. And again, just like seemingly everybody on the left with few exceptions, you have to make it up as you go along. You have to lie. And then I want to play this because this is representative jail, Paul, what's ever left of the squad, the remnants of the squad bringing up again Charlottesville and lying about it. Yeah. Yeah. They have nothing else. Think about this. The whole thing about, you know, Trump, you know, their justification for Trump being a Nazi was Charlottesville. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. And it never happened. They lied. Right. By omission. And here it is. Okay. Here we go. And he and Republicans have tried to end birthright citizenship and have given hundreds of billions of dollars to rogue ICE and CBP agents to kidnap and disappear immigrants of all immigration statuses, including, by the way, United States citizens. But it isn't just the denigrating of black and brown communities. That's so dangerous. It is the praising the pardoning the condoning of extreme white nationalists directly from the White House in Trump's America. White supremacists at the Charlottesville rally are quote very fine people. Never happened. Yeah. She's lying. Yep. But they can't. They've got nothing else. You've got to lie by omission and they've been lying by omission and getting away with it. Thanks to the leftist activist media. Since then. They keep using the same lie over and over and over again. They're still saying Russian collusion. I know. It was true. I know. It was a giant, one of the biggest political hoaxes ever. Yeah. In a presidential election, I don't know a bigger scandal than that. Yeah. I can't think of one myself. And that's why we said, you know, with the whole Scott Pelley thing, you know, he just, all you have to do is play that. And if you know what happened during it, you're like, where's the lack of curiosity? And I said that for the longest time. Forget about the bias. The bias comes in because of lack of journalistic, you know, that you, it's obvious that the bias is there because of the lack of the journalistic curiosity that everybody should have. Look, we're biased in our opinion. But on everything we apply, you know, where's the evidence that we did the same thing. We for, for months and months, years. Really, we asked the question, where's the evidence? We know the allegation. Where's the evidence and where did it come from? That's not being a partisan. Right. That's trying to find out what the facts of a particular case are. Right. Yeah. And we said it from January 2nd. Oh my gosh, we're coming up on the 10th year anniversary. Yeah. We come back from Chris's vacation, which is still a little while away. I know. When we come back crazy. It'll be the 10th year anniversary. You and I sitting. Were we here? Were we in the other studio? I can't remember. We were here. We were here. Wow. Yeah, we were because we came over here in 2015. And I remember you and our pre-show meeting. We're like, what's what's this thing about Trump colluding with the Russians? What were the this? And that's when it started. And from that point, we went, well, we know what the allegations are. We know what the dossier is. Where'd the dossier come from? Right. Intelligence agencies. What does that mean? What intelligence agencies? Right. You're making an accusation and remember the thing. Trump is a traitor. Trump is this. You know, the, the, the, you know, he needs to be, he needs to be impeached because he's a, he's a stooge of Putin and everything else. And it was all created by the Democrats. It was all created by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. They actually took campaign money that they got. They found out about that because they claimed it was for basically what? Campaign functions. Yeah. And it wasn't. It was to, it was the money to pay people like Iggy Danchenko, a Russian national. As we always said, the only people that any colluded with any Russian was the Hillary Clinton campaign. They knew she was going to do it in July of that year. Obama knew she was going to do it in July of that year because his intelligence people told him that Hillary was going to try to do this to set up Trump. They knew it was going to happen. And, you know, Scott Pelley, this is months and months after that had no curiosity just of the FBI and the things that they're talking about and how careful they're looking into it all. And as we said at that point, either Andrew McCabe is a complete idiot or he lied or a combination of both. Yeah. Because that was the interview that was being done. Right. And both Scott Pelley and his producer, no curiosity as we had. And that's the thing. Well, we can compare it to how we covered it. We're not claiming that we're unbiased. What we're saying is we're not going to give an opinion on something where we don't know where the evidence came from. And Scott Pelley, who's claiming that he's a journalist with no bias, has no curiosity whatsoever. What did he say about that interview? What I was most impressed with was working on my Scott Pelley impression was how he was very careful in what he could say and could not say. If you're a journalist, that would make you curious. Yeah. Because I would push him to the limit to say everything that he was able to say while the entire time knowing that there are certain things he wouldn't or couldn't discuss. That would make me curious. It wouldn't impress me. It would tell me this guy's dancing and he's trying to ride the fence here. I'm looking for something that I can deliver to the American people because that is what true journalism is about in a free society. But he had no desire, Scott Pelley, to ever do that. No. No. And that's the one thing. And I was a radio station manager a long time ago, but over a station that had a very aggressive radio news department. And I guess as a just doing this as long as I've done, plus just me in the, you know, choosing this business, there's a natural curiosity. Maybe it's not natural. Maybe it's the environment that you're in and, you know, how you're brought up. But I didn't need to take a journalism course to ever teach me how to do journalism. And I believe you can do journalism and still be biased. Yeah. Because I believe we do it all. And the part of the journalism is, is the fact that I'm not going to argue something or take defense of something when I don't know whether it's the truth or not. I'm not going to take somebody else's words for it just because they say it with a modem of sophistication or confidence. It means nothing anymore. Well, it might have when I was younger, oh, it speaks with confidence. There must be something there. You know, Scott Pelley's like me. He's an old man. You question everything. And look, it's, it's about the entire thing is about the truth. It is for us. It's not for him. It's about avoiding the truth. And the activist media, this is how they have to do it. You hear it from the left all the time. You know, still quoted the misquoting Charlottesville by omitting the entire quote, omitting the the, the, the part that would change the mind. Remember, it was Michael Rappaport. That's what started the turn for him. Yeah. The Hollywood actor who's running. He says he's running for mayor still in 2029. Okay. He was going after a mendoni for, you know, the, the watch party that turned into a riot whatever after the next game or whatever he won't happen on my watch. And I'm like, it's like, yeah, so he's apparently running. But yeah, that's, that's what kicked it off. That's what kicked it off. And then he said, I started to do that had me doing more research. Where else did the Democrats lie to me? And, you know, look, it was late in the game. I think it was spring of 24, you know, so, but still that's what happened. And this is, I can't have an opinion until I know the truth. I don't care to share an opinion until I know the truth. The truth to me is paramount. You know, it's, it's the old, you know, again, the old saying I've often said it that everybody says there's two sides to every story. No, there's one. The truth. The truth. That's it. We are right. I radio this morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by house products tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. Summer heat found in late spring in several parts of the country. USDA biologist Brad Rippy. Not extreme heat, not devastating heat by any stretch, but certainly some areas of the country will be quite hot. With that heat lasting through the week and into the weekend. The desert Southwest, it is not unusual to see triple digit heat in the afternoons this time of year in advance of the month soon, which is still almost a month away. Perhaps a greater concern agriculturally. Temperatures at or above 100 degrees across portions of the southern high plains, the places like West Texas, we could see temperatures in the 100 to 105 degree range for the next couple of days until we finally get a little bit of a break from cooler air working its way in from the north and west. Finally, moving east to the southern Amid Atlantic states. Unfortunately, some of the southern high plains areas in the Atlantic coast areas will also miss out on most of the rainfall. That could lead to some increasing stress on pastures and summer crops. 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. Coming up more with Gary MacDemira and Eric Harley. It's Red Eye Radio. Here we are with you. He is here, probably, and I'm Gary MacDemira. Welcome and good morning. Well, good thing the Congress, the House passed and is going to Trump's desk now. Yeah. The sign got funding for Border Patrol and ICE. This basically takes care of Trump through the rest of his presidency. Yep. On ICE. So this is good. Tom Homan saying there's going to be, you know, he's suggesting a fairly aggressive enforcement set of actions in New York very soon. And if Tom Homan says that I'm believing it, I don't think he would say it without it actually happening. And so I don't know when that's going to be launched, what that is going to look like. So but they'll certainly be enforcing that in New York. And the funding is a big deal. You know, it's, again, you have to look at the core issues right now with the House and with the president and the border has been one where that he owned, you know, sent going back from the beginning in 2016 before he became president. So this seals that up all the way through his presidency in terms of the funding.

My favorite audio cut from yesterday. Yeah. It actually goes nowhere. It's just as, as, as you would say, it's a thousand kids in the gym days. I'm all screaming, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What happens is again, this is on CNN. Yeah. And I'm sure Barry Weiss will probably say, you know, we got to do something when somebody makes a point and then 10 people are talking all at the same time. They're an extended period of time. It doesn't go anywhere. And I find it entertaining in small doses. And I found this entertaining yesterday. This is, I don't even know, you know, they get, you ever, you sit there, you look at these people like, who are these people? Yeah. You know, like, where do they, where do these people come from? You know, whatever, where am I? Republican consultant or a Democrat consultant, but it's a, a Democrat trying to make a point about Talarico and others. And you have Caroline Sunshine, who's a Republican strategist who comes back at her and then it all goes to heck. All right. Yeah. Here we go. All right. I think Talarico and someone like Gina Hinosa have a real path to victory, not just in Texas, but other candidates in Iowa or Ohio or wherever in this country, because we're actually talking about the issues that matter and people want someone to deliver for them. And Democrat Party got it so wrong in Texas. You guys had a hilarious black woman and for the party that lectures everybody about racism, you guys pushed her aside so you could have a soy boy white guy who was created in a lab and looks like what political consultants think are regular whites are. No one pushed her aside. By the way, he thinks there's sick knowledge. How many genders do you think there are? First of all, I would like to say, I just want to know what the DNC, Autonomous Network, that I've never seen said. How many genders are there? Oh, she should have made her pick. She was on. It's like walking into the microphone room there at Guitar Center. On Saturday morning. You walk back over to the guitar side and there's five different guys playing stairway to heaven, all at different parts of the song. Oh my gosh. I'm going to go over to the drum section where it's quiet. No, this is exactly it. I've always compared it to walking in like at Petco and I love Petco. Walk in and they have the adoption centers, you know, and so that they have these cute little pets in there. The cats are always quiet. I'm suspicious. But the dogs are always yapping. You know, I mean, you go in there, not always, but quite often, you know, when there's stuff going on, especially when you've got a bunch of people on a busy day with their pets there. And then the young puppies see those other pets across the glass and it just becomes, it basically becomes a moment on CNN. Don't remind me. I got to, I got to bring the cat in on Friday. All right. I hate the twice a year. I've got to do it. It's pure hell. You know, we, we lost Bella last year and it takes a while before you decide whether or not you are going to get a dog. My wife and I would like to have a dog that can travel, but it's, it's, it just varies from dog to dog. And we talked about it. We'd love to have a smaller dog. She was a Belgian shepherd lab mix. And so she was 65 pounds, just a, just a beautiful and sweet dog. Great, great, great, great friend and pet. And we would like a smaller one. And which we've had in the past and we're thinking about that, but we're going to, we're just going to sleep on it for maybe a year or so and see, because when you travel, that's the thing you've got a cat. Cats can take care of themselves. The cats are more like, Hey, would you leave? No, that's, you know, again, I was never a pet owner. I was just too busy. And remember when I got mango, the red eye radio cat because mango hung outside the studio. Right. Remember during the day, the building manager would say, don't feed that damn cat. Yes. Well, and the other cats were telling mango, don't feed the radio people. And mango would sit right outside the door. Yeah. Remember? Yeah. Sit outside the door and finally the cold weather was coming in. I just every, it was like for three months. Yeah. And finally I said, it's going to get really cold. I got to find out if this cat is, you know, you know, go to the lost and found whatever and, yeah, and, and bring it in. And so grabbed it. I mean, I was dressed like a lion tamer. And I had big gloves on and everything else can grab that cat through it in the, through it in the, you know, the cage that I had next day, brought it to the, the vet. They took care of it. Did do diligence, could not find any, I got a couple of people who called me, but couldn't find the owner. And they said, this cat probably is out on the street, obviously because it clipped the ear, which shows that it was Farrell at one point. My, yeah, my, my fellow was in her first year of life. In fact, the couple that had her before us, they, they adopted her from Petco, I think actually. Well, so, so yeah, I mean, this cat was out on its own for a while and, but was a, you know, male cat, very aggressive, very aggressive plane, but not a mean cat at all. Scared to death. Yeah. You know, somebody would come in the house would, mango would hide for a day. Didn't trust any, I always thought that somebody, whoever had them and then let him go probably beat him. I'm just because of the fear that he had of human, of unknown human beings. It just wasn't normal. You know, you see cats all over the place and, you know, they may stay away from you, but they'll stare at you. They'll come close to you, whatever. And some cats will come up the paranoia that, that he had. And when he, when I had him for a couple of years, got a clean bill of health, big cat though, look at the Panther, big cat, not necessarily fat, just a big cat because never had diabetes or anything brought into the vet. They said clean bill of health. Three days later, I come home from work, cat jumps on the bed, lays down next to me, 30 seconds later, jumps up, keels over, falls right out of the bed. I went, Hey, you okay? Gone, dead. Like that. Yeah. I think it was an aneurysm that big cats had that, you know, was set, sits in the back, you know, of the body and just comes through and it's, it's over. And I went, I'm done. Not getting a cat. You know, good. And the only reason I got, I decided to keep mango was I couldn't find, I just couldn't bring him back. And I said, but I can't keep him. I travel. And then I found the computerized kitty litters. And so, but I said, no, I'm done. I'm never getting a cat again. Five days later. Yeah. I had a pretty short period, but we, we would love to, it'd be great if the pet could travel. Bella could not travel. We had horrible car sickness, but neither of my, I have a neighbor with a great Dane and he has a sunroof, not the great Dane, the neighbor. And the great Dane, you'll see them driving to the store from time to time. The great Dane sticking his head out the sunroof. Cause I think that's the only way you could fit that dog in that car. It's a Cadillac and so here it goes. This Cadillac with a great, great Dane, big old heads sticking over the roof and it, it just goes everywhere with, with them and it's probably 200 pounds of food a day. But it's a, you know, it's just, I love pets. I love animals and I, I love that. I've, you know, I love training pets. Bella was trained when she came to us and we got her from another couple who wasn't able to keep her. And we, I would love to have another, another dog. We're, I'm prone to doxins. I've had two and they were just great, great pets. What I, what I found is when you have a cat and you just, you and the cat. Yeah. And I met the, just, I think just at the four year mark now for Tiki. Four year, is it? Yeah. The four year mark. At the four year mark, four to five year mark, same thing happened with my other cat. They really communicate with you. They are just as smart as dogs. They just respond in a completely different way. But if you can read a cat by their ears, by their whiskers and by their tail, you know, it moved there in. Mango understood about 25 words would respond. Tiki's probably up to 15 to 20 where she'll actually respond and do stuff and, yeah, and, and they communicate with you in their own way. They're just different. They're different from dogs. Dogs communicate much like humans do. Cats don't. Bella would talk. She would, I mean, she was trying to form words. Yeah. Can imagine that. Yeah. Well, did you ever see, and it's on YouTube somewhere, there's this guy who had a dog and would train that dog like 10, 12 hours a day every single day. Yeah. And they, and they brought researchers in to watch it and they said that dog has the intelligence of a three year old human. Well, there was, and it was amazing. There was a YouTube channel, Kyush, the stunt dog. It was an Alaskan Malamute, I believe, and, and lived in Great Britain. And the owner, this dog was talking. I mean, this dog, it was as close to forming words. And there's one back and forth. And, and unfortunately, Ky, they called the dog Ky, passed away, which was very sad. It had a, she had a pretty substantial YouTube following. And, but there is one back and forth with the owner's mom, Nana, and the dog. Because every time the mom would make toast, which was every day, because it's Great Britain, and she had some marmalade on it. And Ky would just go up and, you know, and then just start talking. And one time the dog just argued. And there's a point in the video where the dog, and I'm telling you, the dog says, no, I'm not. And it was, I'm telling you, there was no AI. It was the, I don't know why this thing didn't get a billion views. I, she may have gotten a million or two million, but man, this thing should have been, because I was like, that was real. That wasn't AI. This dog is arguing with Nana, with his grandmother, basically. Scooby-Doo like. No, it was full on. Like, jeez, Scoob, I can't believe a dog just talked. Zoinks. But there's the problem. I thought it was the animals, but it's the, you know, the problem is that, you know, it's again, gets back to, you know, the ownership. And if, and it varies from dog to dog, even certain breeds may travel easier or better than other breeds, but it doesn't guarantee you, you know, anything. And we, right now, we travel a lot. And I just don't think it's fair to have a pet, you know, sitting there in the home alone or, you know, having to kennel it, you know, dog is tough. I'm, I'm never gone really for more than three days. Yeah. And, and I watch a cat on the camera and everything else. And, and, and I know I have, I have the app for the kitty litter. So I know if she's using that and how long and then when you know how long, you know what business they're doing. You really can monitor the cat. And if there's any problem, I'll, you know, a couple of my friends with keys can come over and take care, but that's never happened. Right. Never happened in this cat. Now doesn't really miss me. It misses going out to the garage because that's, you know, she's the cat I have now is a garage, a holic. That's it. I mean, it's like, she'll start biting my toes if I'm asleep three hours because she hasn't been out to the garage for a while. Yeah. And then during the wintertime, that's gone. She doesn't want to go out. She loves sitting in 130 degree heat. Yeah. Bella used to go and sunbathe for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then she would come back to the door. She used to love to go and lay in the sun. I keep my house pretty cold, but she would love to go out, lay in the sun. And then she'd come back to the door in about 20 minutes. You've listened to Pet Hour. This is Pet Talk on Eric and Gary on Red Eye Radio. Be right back with more Red Eye Radio with Eric Carly and Gary McNamara. We are Red Eye Radio. He is here. Carly and I'm Gary McNamara. There's a headline. So security has less than 10 years before reserves are exhausted. Great. Newly released 2026. Trustees report confirms that the federal retirement safety net is less than seven years away from fiscal depletion. It will, the trust fund will completely exhaust its accumulated reserves, which are basically I'll use. Which by the way, this is a coincidence because that's about the time I'll be exhausted. In the fourth quarter. And what a retire. It'll be in the fourth quarter of 2032. Once a reserve dries up, ongoing tax revenues will cover only 78% of scheduled retirement benefits according to the report. That's only like, yeah, that's not that far away. So, wow. Yeah, I'm not going to retire that soon. I may still, well, I mean, I'll retire long after the money is gone. Well, this may keep me employed. Yeah. You know, all the way, you know, closing in on 80. Well, look, I'm used to not having money. I work in red. Yeah, but I'll still have to continue working to supplement in case that goes away. I mean, I have to stay here for that length of time. Right. Now, you won't make as much as social security, but it'll be something. It's radio money. Oh, I did look and did figure it out. Did you see that they believe that for 2027, you know, how much the increase is going to be for social security because of inflation? They cost the rate of retirement. Yeah. 3.9% to 4.3. Oof. Somewhere in there. Oof. And I figured it out. I was like, how much is that for me? Yeah. Of course. This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One.
