Now, it's Red Eye Radio.
spk_0
Gary McNamara and Eric Harley talk about everything from politics to social issues and
spk_0
news of the day.
spk_0
Whether you're up late or you're just starting your day, welcome to the show.
spk_0
From by UNIDEN America Studios, this is Red Eye Radio.
spk_0
All across America, we are Red Eye Radio.
spk_0
He is Eric Harley and I'm Gary McNamara.
spk_0
Good morning.
spk_0
Thank you for being here this morning.
spk_0
Thank you.
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
I don't know if I should do this, but I'm going to do it.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Because I hate because it sounds like that we have nothing to talk about if we lead with
spk_0
this and there's a ton of issues out there, but it's going to lead to something else.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
spk_0
And this is where I saw that whoopie Goldberg said, if you're going to the Super Bowl, get
spk_0
a Latin accent and tan or darken your skin.
spk_0
Oh, because with the whole big bunny, bad bunny, mediocre bunny, mediocre bunny thing.
spk_0
By the way, that would be giving him an elevation.
spk_0
That should be a compliment.
spk_0
If you're a bad bunny and you become a mediocre bunny, that's an improvement.
spk_0
I think somebody had, it's going to be a sort of the day over the weekend.
spk_0
It's a bad bunny.
spk_0
It's John Wayne in a huge bunny suit.
spk_0
That's good.
spk_0
That's like that was my God.
spk_0
And I don't know why, but every time I, every time I hear bad bunny, I just think of the
spk_0
kid walking down the stairs and a Christmas story.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
That's not why it just sticks in my mind.
spk_0
But when she, and so she's basically trolling ice and, and Kristie, know I'm saying that
spk_0
everybody, so and, and I don't know, even if the Super Bowl is loaded with illegal criminal
spk_0
aliens, I, yeah, I, I don't know what the makeup of the crowd is.
spk_0
Does any given year, I'm not sure.
spk_0
Now if the Dallas Cowboys make it, it had been a few years ago, the criminals would have
spk_0
been on the field.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
If you're looking, if you're looking to arrest people, it's going to interrupt the game.
spk_0
But there was actually a serious point to make here.
spk_0
Like, were you throwing everything out right here?
spk_0
Did you see, did you see the guy that, that in the, this is, I just saw it, the, the, the
spk_0
30 second video.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Josh Allen on Sunday night through a pass and it went right to a guy who was in the Ioway,
spk_0
who grabbed, you know, the pass came right to him.
spk_0
He turned around and like ran out of the stadium.
spk_0
I didn't see that.
spk_0
Got the football.
spk_0
I don't know if you're supposed to give it back or whatever.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And Mike Tarekko was doing play by play.
spk_0
There he is.
spk_0
10, 20, 20 going up.
spk_0
I love it.
spk_0
It was hilarious.
spk_0
But there actually is a serious point to be made here.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
spk_0
And it starts with the view and something last week and I thought about this over the
spk_0
weekend and didn't even bring it up on yesterday's show.
spk_0
But I thought about it and went, I got it.
spk_0
I got to bring this up.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
When you had sunny talking about the fact that you can't be pro life and be pro gun.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And she said she's pro life.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And I, I don't even know what I was doing over the weekend when I thought about that.
spk_0
It's just for a moment I went, how did I miss this?
spk_0
Because we talked about it and we said she was wrong and everything else.
spk_0
Right, right, right.
spk_0
But you think about it.
spk_0
If you're not willing to defend life from the evil people, if you're simply a mouthpiece
spk_0
who says, I'm pro life, but I'm against the tool that you can use to defend life and
spk_0
save your own life.
spk_0
Only the people that are truly willing to defend life.
spk_0
Can you consider totally pro life?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
If you're gold with the gun, because we brought it up as we always do with, you know, a gun
spk_0
is simply a tool.
spk_0
It's what you use with it, right?
spk_0
Like a, like a, a, a kitchen knife.
spk_0
It, right.
spk_0
It can be a, you know, a baseball bat slicer, diced or slice exactly my fist.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Deadly weapon.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Well, okay.
spk_0
That's a little bit of a point.
spk_0
But I was thinking I just said, well, sorry, you can't just saying your pro life, I'm pro
spk_0
life, but I'm against guns.
spk_0
You mean you're against somebody owning a gun?
spk_0
Because as we know, 99% 99.9% of people who get a gun legally don't miss you.
spk_0
Use it.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And they understand the seriousness of it and millions of Americans and law enforcement
spk_0
have gone through training preparation, taken time to learn how to use a firearm for a
spk_0
number of reasons, hunting, sporting, whatever, but also self defense.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And what's the self defense?
spk_0
You're protecting human life.
spk_0
That's the idea.
spk_0
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
If you're not willing to defend human life, if you're just willing to say it, I don't consider
spk_0
you pro life.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
At least if you don't stand up for the right, right?
spk_0
spk_0
I'm not saying you, I'm not saying, yeah, I'm not saying we shouldn't mandate.
spk_0
Remember when it was like we need to mandate that everybody must have a firearm.
spk_0
We're like, no, I think, I think, Pengellette, it was tongue in cheek, but I think Pengellette
spk_0
is said at one time.
spk_0
He said, look, I think everybody should be required to carry a gun on planes.
spk_0
He was, again, but he was making the point, you know, that it's, you know, it's and he's
spk_0
a, you know, he's a libertarian.
spk_0
I think most people know.
spk_0
But it's, you know, that's the whole idea.
spk_0
And when, because we talk about the rights, we talk about our rights and our rights to defend
spk_0
our lives, our property, our family, ourselves.
spk_0
This is something that is the foundation of this country.
spk_0
And I agree with you.
spk_0
It has to be, it is part and parcel of being pro life.
spk_0
You know, one of the things that I've seen lately because the commercials are all over
spk_0
the place.
spk_0
I'm sure you've seen it, you know, the, the, the burn of launchers.
spk_0
I mean, it's just all, I mean, those come are everywhere.
spk_0
I go every streaming outfit.
spk_0
And you know, everybody's like, what's that banana?
spk_0
What's that banana?
spk_0
And it's the non-lethal form.
spk_0
It's a, it's a basically an air gun that has, you know, a pallet that you can get in
spk_0
it that has tear gas and, and pepper spray.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
So you can shoot it from, you know, you can shoot it from like 60 feet away.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Most likely in a home, you're talking about 20 feet in.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And it, you know, it hits you, it hits you pretty hard, but it's the thing to disable
spk_0
you.
spk_0
And many people that may be uncomfortable with owning a gun or not confident in doing
spk_0
it.
spk_0
If you're not confident in owning a gun, I don't think you should own a gun.
spk_0
I don't think so either.
spk_0
And, but, but it's, are you willing to defend life by fighting back?
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And if you are willing to stand in for other people's rights to do that.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And, and the fact of what people, you know, go through in their life in order to get
spk_0
a gun, you got to take time out of your life to do it.
spk_0
You want to properly trained and it takes time and all that.
spk_0
And so those are the people that are saying, I wish to defend my life and other people's
spk_0
lives too.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And so I just thought about that was like, I'm pro life, but I'm against guns.
spk_0
Well, then you're not pro life.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
You're saying I don't have a right, don't a gun to defend my life and other people's
spk_0
lives, then you're not pro life.
spk_0
I'm against criminals.
spk_0
That's what I'm against you.
spk_0
And I, I guess we have to restate.
spk_0
We are, we are anti murder, anti crime.
spk_0
We are against crime.
spk_0
We are pro lawfulness.
spk_0
It's I'm not going to take the stapler from my desk here.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I'm not going to shoplift it.
spk_0
Even though it's a nice red stapler, I'm not going to take it.
spk_0
Maybe, maybe you should move your stapler.
spk_0
So no one will take you stapler.
spk_0
But I just when I, when I saw the wippy thing, I went, oh, I can't forget.
spk_0
I thought about that over a weekend.
spk_0
She's suggesting that people dress in brown face.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Well, I mean, you know, she probably, I mean, you know, her relationship with Ted
spk_0
Danson, right?
spk_0
That's sort of normal.
spk_0
Yeah, that's where I was going with it.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
That, that, that, that wippy is saying people should go in black face to the super bowl
spk_0
or brown face to the super bowl.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Latin accent.
spk_0
Get a tan.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
That's not racist in February.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
That's it's just they're just weird.
spk_0
They're not, you know, this is, I had one of those days yesterday.
spk_0
I had a long talk with a long time friend.
spk_0
And I've just come to the conclusion because we were talking about, you know,
spk_0
he lives in California and has for a long time.
spk_0
And he's conservative out there.
spk_0
And, and we had some, you know, just great conversation.
spk_0
But it is something also that I've been thinking about over the weekend.
spk_0
I'm just, there are a lot of people in this society that just are not smart.
spk_0
They're just not smart people.
spk_0
And I don't take pride in saying that.
spk_0
I'm not trying to do that.
spk_0
I'm not trying to say it to get any kind of response or reaction or anything like that.
spk_0
You and I don't carry those kind of bull horns.
spk_0
It's, it's true.
spk_0
There are a lot of people who are, I think, willfully ignorant.
spk_0
But beyond that, just plain stupid.
spk_0
And, and I thought to myself, because here's the thing, you know, we're all born.
spk_0
Stupid.
spk_0
We know nothing at birth, nothing.
spk_0
And you got to learn it.
spk_0
You got to be curious.
spk_0
That's natural.
spk_0
Be curious.
spk_0
Learn something.
spk_0
Go out, learn something every day.
spk_0
More and more people just insist on all they do is repeat what they have heard.
spk_0
They just repeat it over and over again and quote.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
In it, in it's, it's just maddening.
spk_0
And look, it's likely that it's again, willful ignorance.
spk_0
I don't believe people are naturally stupid.
spk_0
I think you kind of have to work.
spk_0
I think people have to go out of their way these days with a smartphone in your hand to be stupid.
spk_0
I mean, the smart of the phones got the stupor to the people got.
spk_0
It's more stupor than it's ever been.
spk_0
Well, when you, when you think of the number of firearms in this country,
spk_0
and I don't even know what it, the last figure I saw, and this goes back 10 years ago,
spk_0
it was like 300 million.
spk_0
A handful of those are my.
spk_0
298 million are erics.
spk_0
He doesn't live in a house.
spk_0
He lives in a fort.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Well, when I come home, my wife says, welcome home,
spk_0
Mr. Wic.
spk_0
I don't know why she does the accent, but it's, it's a thing.
spk_0
But no, I mean, yeah, nobody is, it tells you.
spk_0
And what the left wants you to believe is, you know, and, and all around the world,
spk_0
they try and, well, it's so dangerous.
spk_0
It's so dangerous.
spk_0
When you take the criminals out of the equation,
spk_0
we're, what are you talking about?
spk_0
We're amazingly a tame armed population.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
When you think about it, yes.
spk_0
Which is your point.
spk_0
Because if with that many guns in our society, look at the individuals that are,
spk_0
and it's the individuals, it's the people, not the inanimate object.
spk_0
Listen, I think if I, if my guns could talk, they probably would tell them,
spk_0
Hey, here's what they'd say to me every day.
spk_0
Let's go to the range.
spk_0
Let's go to the range.
spk_0
Let's go to the range.
spk_0
And mine would tell me, you're a very lonely person who doesn't have much of a life.
spk_0
Hey, you know, could you, is that a cat?
spk_0
Yeah, could you, you know, you, you know, you can communicate with another life force
spk_0
besides a cat, you know, make a phone call for God's sake.
spk_0
Are you talking to a cat?
spk_0
Go out for a beer, do something.
spk_0
You know, stop with a, stop with the golf where you don't want to talk to anybody.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Because you're focusing on your game, communicate for God's sake.
spk_0
So let's get back to the topic and hand here.
spk_0
Anywho, if you know, but, but the guns are inanimate objects.
spk_0
It is the people with the guns and their intent and everybody knows this.
spk_0
Because you're just going out of your way to be stupid if you say otherwise.
spk_0
If you point at the inanimate object and blame the inanimate object, you're being stupid.
spk_0
You're acting stupid.
spk_0
I'm not saying you're naturally stupid.
spk_0
You might be, but I'm not saying that.
spk_0
You're just going out of your way in my, I got confidence in you.
spk_0
I think you're not a bad bunny.
spk_0
I think you're a mediocre bunny.
spk_0
Because you're putting in the effort.
spk_0
But if you say the inanimate object is responsible, you're just playing.
spk_0
And that's what we talked about last week when we said we started talking about things that are normal
spk_0
culturally in this country that aren't going to go away.
spk_0
And it's, it's why I walk, but I'll tell you this, you look at and we'll get into the whole thing about
spk_0
the J Jones thing yesterday.
spk_0
You had a few Democrats come out, but the number of Democrats are saying, oh, look, this is nothing.
spk_0
This is nothing.
spk_0
This is nothing.
spk_0
Let me tell you behind the scenes, Republicans are saying, gosh, I hope he continues to stay in for a couple of more weeks here.
spk_0
This is great.
spk_0
This is great.
spk_0
Because it's so, it's so incredibly bad.
spk_0
But when it comes to most Americans, murder isn't right.
spk_0
Freedom of speech is something that they know about because we all know about our rights.
spk_0
Obligations and responsibilities.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
We'll deal with that.
spk_0
Let our grandkids and great-grandkids deal with that with the debt.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
But when it comes to our right, we all know our rights.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
That's the whole thing.
spk_0
You know, I mean, if we were talking to infants, we would have to educate them on how things work.
spk_0
You know, very, very small children.
spk_0
And I know they act like children, but we're all adults here.
spk_0
Let's quit being stupid.
spk_0
I know that's the thing.
spk_0
I'm just shake my head.
spk_0
You know, I couldn't do what Scott Jennings does.
spk_0
I did that.
spk_0
No, I did that for years.
spk_0
I did that for years debating with liberals who didn't want to actually debate.
spk_0
And that's the problem that Scott Jennings has is they really don't wish to debate the issues.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
They wish to sidetrack you with all children issue again.
spk_0
You know, they're talking, well, children were zip tied.
spk_0
What are you talking about?
spk_0
What's the age of the children talking about two, three year olds?
spk_0
They were zip tied and yeah, throwing it in the paddy wagon.
spk_0
Is that what you're saying?
spk_0
Or if we're talking about adolescence, we know that the gangs have a history of recruiting
spk_0
adolescents and the safest thing to do is to get them out of restrain them and get them out of
spk_0
that situation safely for their benefit and for the agents benefits.
spk_0
Everybody benefits until we can sort who's who?
spk_0
86690.
spk_0
Right?
spk_0
spk_0
Hi there.
spk_0
This is Hope with mother trucker yoga.
spk_0
And this is your health tip of the day.
spk_0
Healthy driver, healthy diesel powered by house.
spk_0
Your core is more than just abs.
spk_0
It's your powerhouse and with all those hours sitting behind the wheel, weak core muscles can
spk_0
lead to back pain, poor posture and even fatigue.
spk_0
Let's fire up that core, sit up tall away from the seat, field those core muscles turn on.
spk_0
Now as you exhale, bring your right front ribs down towards your right hip, tighten that core,
spk_0
sit tall again and then repeat on the left side doing this 10 times each side.
spk_0
Let's target the obliques even more, hike your right hip up towards your ribs and then release.

spk_0
We'll be right back with more red eye radio with Eric Hurley and Gary McNamara.
spk_0
We are right.
spk_0
I radio.
spk_0
He's Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Just a second on this because we because this is like a flashback.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
Was this a flashback to 2004?
spk_0
No, or we know to well, the second Bush administration, maybe it was even 2004.
spk_0
Babs is back.
spk_0
Barbara Strison pushes the panic button.
spk_0
America in deep trouble.
spk_0
Rob Reiner, democracy is being taken away from us.
spk_0
We only have a body year.
spk_0
And I'm just really excited.
spk_0
Does this mean is green day going to be doing a concert now in the next year?
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
I think they're doing cruise ships.
spk_0
They're doing the oldest thing.
spk_0
America idiot five.
spk_0
And maybe maybe rage against the machine.
spk_0
We need some good Marxist music.
spk_0
I did a I wrote a parody from American idiot.
spk_0
It's about us though.
spk_0
I like when Gary calls Eric and then that's all that's as far as I got.
spk_0
But it would work.
spk_0
And when they tell me what or when they say tell me where we're wrong.
spk_0
American idiot, American moron or American.
spk_0
In the sense.
spk_0
Well, apparently I guess it's American idiot.
spk_0
Isn't it?
spk_0
Yeah, we'd have to rate that.
spk_0
I had another doctor actually write me.
spk_0
I've got to respond to him.
spk_0
Ask me because a doctor told us the difference between the three.
spk_0
Yes, right.
spk_0
There was actually a scale on the IQ scale.
spk_0
And another doctor wrote and said, Hey, you got that scale handy.
spk_0
Someone is patient.
spk_0
You're consulting with a talk show about stuff like that.
spk_0
Patient comes in going, what you're not taking care of your diabetes.
spk_0
You moron.
spk_0
Or idiot.
spk_0
Hey drivers, Eric Harley here for cat scale.
spk_0
You probably already know you can get guaranteed accurate weights when you weigh on a cat scale.
spk_0
But did you know that you get those same guaranteed weights much faster when you use the way my truck app?
spk_0
Simply pay way and get back on the road.
spk_0
It's that easy.
spk_0
Look for the iconic black and gold cat scale sign at truck stops and travel planzas nationwide.
spk_0
And remember way what we say or we pay guaranteed.
spk_0
Go online to create an account, watch the helpful tutorial and download the way my truck app today.

Check out way my truck dot com to save time on the road.
spk_0
That's way my truck dot com to it today.
spk_0
That's way my truck dot com.
spk_0
We are the musers on the pod so far.
spk_0
We've discussed people we love.
spk_0
I didn't tell you guys Cuban email.
spk_0
What do you wear?
spk_0
Well, no, that's not things we love got way into type riders.
spk_0
How many type riders do you want?
spk_0
Let's not podcast in just a base time to get really down and dirty.
spk_0
You're great ideas.
spk_0
You're gonna podcast and forget to promote it on social media.
spk_0
So what is our podcast about?
spk_0
Whatever we feel like.
spk_0
The musers to podcast follow and listen on your favorite platform.
spk_0
Observing and analyzing the insanity.
spk_0
Eric Hurley and Gary McNamara.
spk_0
Nightly on Red Eye Radio.
spk_0
We are ready.
spk_0
spk_0
He's our currently and I'm giving McNamara welcome and good morning.
spk_0
I mean, you know, I want to touch base on this.
spk_0
It's interesting because I got a couple of emails saying, could you explain this?
spk_0
And it's the decision of the judge Karen Emmergut to block the deployment of National Guard.
spk_0
And I saw this yesterday from Jonathan Turley.
spk_0
We explained it already.
spk_0
We said the law allows the president to do this.
spk_0
I mean, it's even stupid that we're talking about it because you can sit there and line
spk_0
up the instances from, you know, from Reagan to Eisenhower to Kennedy.
spk_0
You can go all the way through people that have used a National Guard.
spk_0
Presidents have used it to enforce federal law.
spk_0
And so was surprising.
spk_0
Someone saw this from Jonathan Turley and then I looked it up and Turley's normally really good.
spk_0
The thing about Turley is he just doesn't tell you that the decision was right.
spk_0
He explains why in this one, he doesn't.
spk_0
And he says the decision of Judge Karen Emmergut to block the deployment of National Guard does not
spk_0
prevent the administration from flooding the zone with federal officers.
spk_0
The president can order the deployment of federal personnel from various agencies to protect
spk_0
federal buildings. And that's true.
spk_0
Yep. Right.
spk_0
In the meantime, the attacks on judges like Judge Karen Emmergut must stop.
spk_0
The court's decision was based on a widely accepted view of the underlying law as well as
spk_0
a 10th amendment.
spk_0
Well, I've never seen Turley get blasted as much as he did.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And not just, you know, I'm not talking Bubba arguments.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
I'm not, I'm not saying Trump can do anyone.
spk_0
And Trump cares not that actually tearing apart the law and looking at the actual law that he used.
spk_0
And here it is National Guard and federal service.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Let me see.
spk_0
Last updated the law October 5th, 1994.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Here we go.
spk_0
10 US code 12 12 12 12 12 4 0 6.
spk_0
The United States or any of the Commonwealth or possessions,
spk_0
excuse me, National Guard and federal service, whenever the United States or any of the
spk_0
Commonwealth or possessions is invaded or endangered of invasion by a foreign nation.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
You can say, all right.
spk_0
That really doesn't apply.
spk_0
You know, if you want to make the case, you've been invaded by a foreign nation
spk_0
because of the gangs and you could tie it back.
spk_0
And for example, in Venezuela, back to the government, well, yeah, you could make that case.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
That hasn't been done at this point.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
But that's number one.
spk_0
Number two, there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority
spk_0
of the government of the United States.
spk_0
There's a gray area there.
spk_0
You are rebelling against the authority of the United States government.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
When you went when those cars and by the way, I had the local new story on that one from Chicago.
spk_0
Hmm.
spk_0
We'll have that one coming up the way that they covered it, which was really good.
spk_0
Said, look how the local governments are covering this.
spk_0
Just like we played the commercial for wins and sears,
spk_0
the lieutenant governor Virginia yesterday had the Jay Jones thing.
spk_0
And we said, look at how the local TV stations you said this for the longest time.
spk_0
Covering this is is that, you know, when you just when you think you're going to win this on the left,
spk_0
the local media will step in.
spk_0
I mean, look at the Jesse Smallette thing.
spk_0
It was local reporters there in Chicago.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
That started on that basically on the investigative trail and pursued it.
spk_0
And, and, you know, we know how all of that turned out.
spk_0
And of course, that's going to be the case because it is a big local story.
spk_0
Number three, the president is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.
spk_0
The number three, the president is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the
spk_0
United States.
spk_0
The president may call into federal service members and units of the National Guard of any state
spk_0
in such numbers that he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion,
spk_0
or execute those laws.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Is there any gray area there?
spk_0
No.
spk_0
And you got, I mean, this thing was just you had the response to Turley going, look,
spk_0
here's the law.
spk_0
Please tell us where we're wrong and he didn't respond.
spk_0
It's like, where are we wrong here?
spk_0
And you and I were asking the question yesterday, you know,
spk_0
are they, and we've done this.
spk_0
If you've sometimes we get into the minutiae and we hope it's not too minutiae where you're like,
spk_0
oh, okay, I don't think that was hard to understand at all.
spk_0
That's pretty easy to look at at the law and say, well, no, here it is.
spk_0
It's in, it's in plain English.
spk_0
And I know and you know that they can send a bunch of FBI agents, but when you're going to
spk_0
all these different cities to, to, to do this with ice, you don't have the available personnel.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
In the FBI, the ATF, whatever other federal agents you're going to send,
spk_0
you may not have enough to do that.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
They're doing their own thing.
spk_0
And so you with that point and the other thing is,
spk_0
as we pointed out yesterday with this judge, where she said, it hasn't gone far enough.
spk_0
The danger, now I'm paraphrasing here, but this is accurate.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
The, the, the danger isn't high enough to those ice agents.
spk_0
It like she is setting some arbitrary threshold as to what would then justify
spk_0
by bringing in National Guard.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And, and she doesn't get to do that.
spk_0
You don't get to set this arbitrary threshold.
spk_0
Because what would that tell me what that would be?
spk_0
Well, we need at least a number of agents to be killed or injured or
spk_0
where is that threshold?
spk_0
In other words, it's, it's not bad because nobody's been hurt yet.
spk_0
That's what I hear from Brian, that statement that, which is, which is not the standard that,
spk_0
that isn't the standard.
spk_0
It's, you know, it's, uh, while detectives show up and investigate after a crime has happened,
spk_0
the reason we have patrol officers in neighborhoods is to deter crime is to deter crime
spk_0
and hopefully prevent a lot of it's right.
spk_0
Oh, well, no crimes.
spk_0
Sorry, we're not patrolling right now.
spk_0
There's no crime.
spk_0
But the, the one thing that, and it was, it's interesting how many people follow
spk_0
thoroughly and respect what he has done in doing it.
spk_0
And our just look, they said, look, we'll, we'll give you, you've always been great.
spk_0
So we'll give you some rope on this, but please explain.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And there's so many of the responses going, where are we wrong here?
spk_0
It's so crystal clear.
spk_0
The National Guard can be called in if the president is unable with the regular forces
spk_0
to execute the laws of the United States.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
I, where is the, where's the gray area there?
spk_0
Does anybody see the gray area?
spk_0
I don't, I don't see any gray area at all.
spk_0
At all.
spk_0
And so this, and this is where you get, well, this is fascist.
spk_0
This is the end of democracy.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
This is no, no, no, no, was this protecting federal officers?
spk_0
Federal property.
spk_0
That's what you're doing.
spk_0
And to go back again, because we feel the need to do this
spk_0
because of the stupidity we see in the arena of ideas from the left.
spk_0
The president is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.
spk_0
The law of the United States on illegal immigration is clear.
spk_0
Those laws were all passed by the Congress of the United States, which is the representative
spk_0
of the people of the United States.
spk_0
spk_0
ICE is enforcing those laws.
spk_0
If ICE isn't enforcing those laws, if they're enforcing other laws that don't exist,
spk_0
we would be the first to say, stop it.
spk_0
But they are enforcing the laws of the United States.
spk_0
And the laws of the United States again,
spk_0
from the elected representatives of the people, it is absolutely under the umbrella,
spk_0
because we know we're a constitutional republic, but a constitutional republic is,
spk_0
we need to use the word.
spk_0
The D word is under the umbrella of democracy.
spk_0
There is nothing fascist about it.
spk_0
There's nothing Nazi about it.
spk_0
There's nothing authoritarian about it.
spk_0
All of it comes from the people of the United States through their elected representatives.
spk_0
And I know people are going, give it that's pretty good.
spk_0
I'm getting damn tired of saying it.
spk_0
Well, I mean, again, it's it'd be one thing if we were, you know,
spk_0
and if you and I were teachers and we were talking to new first graders every year,
spk_0
and we had to repeat it for that reason, but we're adults.
spk_0
We're all adults.
spk_0
Remember last year, one plus one equals two.
spk_0
Listen, if you want a gold star, you have to download the app.
spk_0
Otherwise, we're going to call your parents and no gold star for you.
spk_0
But this is, this is, you know, it does.
spk_0
It fits into everything this overall observation.
spk_0
And it sounds overly simple.
spk_0
But it's just things have gotten so stupid.
spk_0
The fact that we have to say these things and then say these things over and over again.
spk_0
Because when you're dealing with a lot, you are dealing with children and you are dealing with
spk_0
stupid. I know.
spk_0
It's, it's, there's, I'm not, again, I'm not trying to get a rise out of somebody by calling people stupid.
spk_0
But stupid is as stupid does.
spk_0
Oh, I forgot to wear my gump.
spk_0
The bill's lost yesterday.
spk_0
I forgot to wear my gump jersey.
spk_0
I may not be a smart man, but I know who got shale and news.
spk_0
I have, I have only two jerseys, a gump jersey, number 44 in the red.
spk_0
And a Polk High number 33.
spk_0
Yeah, gump is 44.
spk_0
And a number 33 Polk High Bundy, Al Bundy, uh, uh, Jersey.
spk_0
I never, they're regulation jerseys.
spk_0
They look great.
spk_0
People ask, I, I wear them if I go out once a year when I go to see with my buddies,
spk_0
my Buffalo buddies to see a game at Buffalo Brothers.
spk_0
And I wear it.
spk_0
I get everybody comes up to me going, where did you get that from?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And I don't know why it might be a collector.
spk_0
But it's very heavily male that asked me when I wear the Al Bundy one.
spk_0
Yeah, yeah.
spk_0
The gump one gets a lot of people go, gump.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Is that forest?
spk_0
Yeah, this is his official 44 Jersey.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
When he played for Alabama.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Run for us.
spk_0
Run.
spk_0
He is stupid, but boy can he run my gosh.
spk_0
But yeah, uh, you know, it's, um, I, I do expect at times because it times it does
spk_0
feel like that we just repeat ourselves over and over again.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
But it's because it's the same argument coming from the left.
spk_0
Well, and I do expect once or while somebody writing to me insane, Gary, we understand
spk_0
how the government works.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Oh, you've said it a million times.
spk_0
We understand how it works.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
I know you do.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
They don't.
spk_0
And that's the argument to defeat their argument.
spk_0
And when they constantly use, when they're constantly insane on the, uh, insane on the
spk_0
same issues, on the same 10 issues over and over again.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
We have the correct answer, which happens to be the same every time.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Do you know what's going to happen tomorrow on Facebook?
spk_0
It's going to be all over the place.
spk_0
Hey, whoopie Goldberg said they're going to be arresting people that have dark
spk_0
tans at the Super Bowl.
spk_0
Is that true?
spk_0
Seriously, it's just stupid.
spk_0
You really have to go out of your, you got to work at it.
spk_0
You got to work at it to be that stupid.
spk_0
I mean, that's work.
spk_0
Forget a college degree.
spk_0
Man, a college degree.
spk_0
All you got to do is go in and agree with the professor.
spk_0
Next thing, you know, boom, cheap skin.
spk_0
But that kind of stupidity to earn that kind of stupid degree takes a lot of work.
spk_0
When I'm always amazed by is that they have to sit in the meeting and workshop these things.
spk_0
Yeah, they do.
spk_0
Let's, let's go with this.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I'm going to tell people to wear brown face.
spk_0
I'm sorry.
spk_0
What he did, I'm, I'm, Ken.
spk_0
Can you repeat that?
spk_0
Might want to call Ted.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Exactly.
spk_0
86690, Red Eye.
spk_0
Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley.
spk_0
It's Red Eye Radio.
spk_0
He is here.
spk_0
Carly and I'm Gary McNamara.
spk_0
It's been so crazy.
spk_0
I didn't even check the headlines in the Babylon.
spk_0
Be like for the last five days or so.
spk_0
So I decided to go to it.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
You ready?
spk_0
What do you got?
spk_0
Jay Jones unwinds after a stressful day by repeatedly stabbing his Republican voodoo doll.
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
This is my favorite, though.
spk_0
Trump signs executive order mandating the only art
spk_0
who can perform at the Super Bowl halftime show is Creed.
spk_0
I was thinking, I was thinking, you know,
spk_0
since rush is doing a tour.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Adding the, yeah.
spk_0
The drop, by the way, she's a great problem.
spk_0
Anakin Niles.
spk_0
She's played with Jeff Beck.
spk_0
In fact, it was one of the crew members that also worked with Jeff Beck.
spk_0
That's a tech for rush.
spk_0
And they suggested Anika and she's on real.
spk_0
She's great.
spk_0
And it's looks going to be, you know, really a celebration of their music.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
You know, and the way that getting in Alex,
spk_0
we're talking in their video and their presentation.
spk_0
And I think it's a good thing for all of us rush fans.
spk_0
I think it's great.
spk_0
I was getting ready to do my show prep yesterday.
spk_0
I sat down, my cup of coffee,
spk_0
put on YouTube the first thing that came up.
spk_0
It was like one minute after they put out the video.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Both of them talking and saying,
spk_0
yeah, we're going to do a tour.
spk_0
And I'm like, whoa.
spk_0
Nice.
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
It's going to be great.

Gary McNamara and Eric Harley talk about everything
spk_0
bring from politics to social issues and news of the day.
spk_0
Whether you're up late or you're just starting your day,
spk_0
welcome to the show from the Uniden America Studios.
spk_0
This is Red Eye Radio.
spk_0
All across America and around the planet,
spk_0
we are Red Eye Radio.
spk_0
He is Eric Harley and I'm Gary McNamara.
spk_0
Welcome and good morning.
spk_0
Well, we've received from some response
spk_0
from our awesome listeners out there asking,
spk_0
what's going on with your podcast?
spk_0
It's shorter.
spk_0
What's happening?
spk_0
Just so everybody knows on October 1st last week,
spk_0
our radio show went to three hours.
spk_0
Now it's because it's played all across the country,
spk_0
there's different hours played,
spk_0
different and repeated hours and things like that.
spk_0
But we went to three hours.
spk_0
So our podcast is shorter also.
spk_0
Podcast represents a three hour show.
spk_0
Just so you know,
spk_0
all right, I'll speak for me first.
spk_0
I don't want to speak for you here.
spk_0
But when you do a negotiation,
spk_0
this negotiation was a long, long time.
spk_0
Now I want to make this clear.
spk_0
We have a great relationship with our company.
spk_0
Oh, we love it.
spk_0
And when we started negotiations,
spk_0
it was something that was in the back of my mind to shorten it.
spk_0
I didn't think it was a possibility.
spk_0
Will you and I have actually to let people
spk_0
a little bit of a peek behind the curtain here?
spk_0
Do you and I actually have been talking about this for years?
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
It's very hard
spk_0
first off, just so you know,
spk_0
this were the ones that pushed for this.
spk_0
It wasn't the company.
spk_0
Wasn't because the show was failing or anything like that.
spk_0
No, no, we pushed for this
spk_0
when we realized it was a possibility.
spk_0
Now we don't negotiate,
spk_0
we negotiate through our agent.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And our agent Paul's just a great agent.
spk_0
Yeah, the best.
spk_0
And so
spk_0
when it came to it for me,
spk_0
I don't have any time to do anything anymore.
spk_0
To do a five hour show overnight at my age,
spk_0
70 years old from midnight to 5am
spk_0
was just getting to be too much,
spk_0
not the show part of it.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
But the fact I have no time to do anything in my life.
spk_0
People know of my family issues that I have with my father
spk_0
and how much I visit him and everything going on.
spk_0
I don't have time to do anything doing a five hour show overnight anymore.
spk_0
Part of it is because the new cycle has moved so quickly
spk_0
that you're always paying attention, always updating.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
This actually gives me,
spk_0
because we've been doing it a week now.
spk_0
This gives me more sleep.
spk_0
My sleep has been better.
spk_0
And it makes it so I have extra time in the day
spk_0
to do things.
spk_0
So just want to let people know that this was our decision
spk_0
because I did think about working overnight.
spk_0
And I'm 10 years old with an Eric.
spk_0
And part of it was when you get into a year out,
spk_0
whatever is it time for us to see if we can get a radio show during the day
spk_0
or do a podcast during the day because the overnight is just getting to be too much.
spk_0
But we love, we love our audience.
spk_0
We love our radio stations.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
We love the great, as we call in the business,
spk_0
the great legendary real estate that we're on.
spk_0
We love being radio host.
spk_0
And at the same time, because of the time that we're on,
spk_0
having a, you know, a podcast of the show,
spk_0
which sounds more like a podcast because of the time of the day that we're on.
spk_0
And so this was for me, it wasn't even a compromise that we made with the company.
spk_0
I got everything that I wanted out of this.
spk_0
I'm speaking for me first.
spk_0
And then, you know, you're, you know, probably a lot you agree with me on there.
spk_0
But I don't want to speak for you.
spk_0
I have some names I'm going to bring up.
spk_0
But go ahead.
spk_0
Well, I'm done.
spk_0
I mean, that's that's it for me.
spk_0
You know, that it's, it's, uh, uh, I, I will be, I will be more refreshed.
spk_0
And I, it just, it, there comes a time in your life at your rate at this age,
spk_0
where you just, you've got things that you've got to do that are outside of work.
spk_0
I don't have to work.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
I don't have to do this job.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
It's not like it's a financial necessity for me to do it.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I love doing it.
spk_0
And I love being on radio.
spk_0
And I'm a radio guy.
spk_0
We're, I know we're podcasters because we have the podcast.
spk_0
But we've been, you were asked one time by somebody in the company, an executive
spk_0
with an executive company.
spk_0
Well, what do you guys want to do?
spk_0
And you said radio.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I'm, I, it's all I've known since I was 18.
spk_0
It's all I've known.
spk_0
I don't instantly fell in love with it.
spk_0
You know, I mean, like everybody else, um, you know, grew up listening to the radio.
spk_0
But when the first day I went to work in radio, it was like, oh, no, I have to do this.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And part of what this executive was saying was everybody that wants to work.
spk_0
There looks at radio as simply a stepping stone to TV.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
You and I, the less thing we'd ever want to do is be on TV.
spk_0
So this was an opportunity to still have three great solid hours of radio,
spk_0
three hours of podcasting during the day.
spk_0
We, we cover 24 or seven.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Uh, uh, uh, uh, still and uh, just let everybody know this was, we pushed to get this.
spk_0
You and I pushed to get this.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
This wasn't the company pushing this on us.
spk_0
And, you know, the thing to, um, I started this gig when I was 30.
spk_0
My kids were, were young.
spk_0
My youngest was seven.
spk_0
We adopted my, my current youngest wasn't with us yet, because we adopted her.
spk_0
Later, um, but, uh, I was working a radio job where I was going in at seven.
spk_0
I'm in coming home around nine p.m.
spk_0
Which, you know, was it, it, I wasn't getting to see my kids, except for on Saturday afternoon.
spk_0
And this came, this opportunity came about, uh, with, uh, then back at WBAP, where,
spk_0
before we went national, we were actually going national when I came on board.
spk_0
It was a whole reason, but, uh, the country music songwriter and, uh, radio legend, Bill Mac.
spk_0
Uh, I had a, uh, an opportunity to work with him, but also,
spk_0
be home in the morning, get my kids off to school, be there during the day of the school called
spk_0
and be there and, you know, because I would get up and, and help them with homework and
spk_0
get dinner around and everything else.
spk_0
And it just worked and, and was a great opportunity.
spk_0
And then it grew into, you know, even more after Bill retired,
spk_0
and then you and I started working together in 2005.
spk_0
And it's, it's a long show.
spk_0
I mean, when I started, it was actually a six hour show.
spk_0
Uh, it was midnight six central.
spk_0
And yeah, crazy, huh?
spk_0
Um, but there were, it was more music though, right?
spk_0
Yeah, it was music country music.
spk_0
We did talk segments, which is kind of why I was, I was brought on.
spk_0
We were talking, uh, a lot of issues were, uh, the trucking industry.
spk_0
Um, and, you know, there's, there's still, you know, uh,
spk_0
truckers of the backbone of our economy, but also the backbone of our audience.
spk_0
And the owner operator, thanks to the Trump administration.
spk_0
I believe the owner operator is going to make a great return.
spk_0
Uh, soon, I see that rates are coming back for drivers.
spk_0
And there are a couple of things for me that are important to spend time on.
spk_0
Um, I'm married with four children and, you know, my kids or adults are,
spk_0
our youngest is special needs.
spk_0
She's, she lives in home.
spk_0
Uh, and she's my angel.
spk_0
I'm a caretaker during the day, but if we're honest, she actually takes care of me more than I take care of her.
spk_0
And I, in doing a five hour long show, um, it requires, there's, there's a lot that it requires
spk_0
of you physically. And so after decades of doing that, it, I think it was a, a good time to pull back
spk_0
so that we could remain healthy while also presenting a great show, the best show we can
spk_0
every night. And, and that made sense.
spk_0
And there's also some things and side projects that are, you know, under the company umbrella,
spk_0
that, that, um, I want to get moving, uh, that, that, uh, also serve the trucking industry and,
spk_0
and, and a lot of things that, you know, uh, basically need my attention both at home.
spk_0
And, and also around here that I'm greatly passionate about all across the board. And
spk_0
I think an audience deserves the best of you. If you're going to show up, you know, you don't
spk_0
go out there and wear yourself out, you know, you know, you know what I mean? And your health is
spk_0
everything. And you and I have been, you know, fortunate enough to remain healthy, but that
spk_0
requires the sacrifice of, of a lot of other things. And so in this way, we can present
spk_0
the best show we can every single night. And we strive to do that. Everything is about this room.
spk_0
People should know that you and I talk off the air. And I don't know if we've ever said it that way
spk_0
on the air, but everything comes back to this room. There is, you know, of course, my family, my
spk_0
faith and this country, but that that all goes into what we do here. You know, my, my,
spk_0
my everything, you know, that I am. I talked to a friend of mine yesterday who works out in Hollywood.
spk_0
And he goes, well, you know, how do you develop the persona? I said, it's not a persona. You know,
spk_0
I mean, how do you become a presenter like you are, you know, because he works in movies. And I
spk_0
was, well, it's, you know, and I told him I said, well, you know, for, for me, you just had to
spk_0
learn and it's the basics. You have to be yourself. And, and, and that requires you to, you know,
spk_0
especially in a opinionated radio, you know, you got to put yourself out there and you just
spk_0
basically, you got to talk like a real person. But it is, it is who we are. What, what, what you hear
spk_0
on the air, that's who we are. We don't try to be anything that we're not. I don't want to be.
spk_0
The first, the first group that we call you out is a talk radio audience and, and America's
spk_0
truck drivers. Don't try and be something you're not. And, and so we strive to come in and, and deliver
spk_0
the best entertainment we can, best information we can, our opinions, and the best,
spk_0
most thoughtful way we can. And that requires a lot. And I'll tell you in the first week alone,
spk_0
I've gotten more sleep. My neurologist is going to be very happy with me. Yesterday alone,
spk_0
I went home and slept seven hours and that hasn't happened in a long, long time. Yeah, just so
spk_0
people know on the, the health issue, we have no major health problems. No, that wasn't a decision
spk_0
for Eric and I to push for the, for the three hours. No, it's about pacing. I will, yeah, I will say
spk_0
this though, part of me, I mean, because we, and you and I've had these discussions, I'm making
spk_0
sound like I'm telling my reasons and you're telling your reasons. But we've already had all these
spk_0
conversations. Right. Yeah. Probably spend, I don't know, 50, 60, 70, 80 hours over the last year
spk_0
discussing what we want to do with this particular agent. And I will tell you this, it does get to be
spk_0
a little bit of a shock because the, the, the, the, everybody that I was in radio with is now out.
spk_0
Right. Yeah. Everybody's gone. There's nobody left. Right. And then I went to college with the
spk_0
group of people that I get in a radio with everybody's out. Yeah. There may be one of them working
spk_0
part time on a weekend doing a music show or something like that. Right. It's a hard business to do
spk_0
it. We love it though. This business can eat you up and burnout is, I don't have burnout. I haven't
spk_0
felt burnout in, in decades. I've had burnout from radio before and it's not a, it's not a good thing.
spk_0
But one of the things you and I thought of is we haven't had any major medical problems that are
spk_0
related to this show at all. Right. And we, while we can continue to do this and we didn't want to go
spk_0
anywhere else. We didn't want to work for another company. No, we didn't want to just start a
spk_0
separate podcast. We've never made that. We've never made that effort. And we could have, I guess,
spk_0
I mean, we could have technically, you know, you, you can, but, but we're very happy because our company
spk_0
has been great. Well, it's when you, when you have something that works. I'm not willing to,
spk_0
I'm not willing to give it up. Right. And so, you know, this was, this is a compromise.
spk_0
And not with the company that we made, this is a compromise we made with ourselves.
spk_0
No, it was because again, we were, you and I talked it out again for a long time before we ever
spk_0
approached them with it. Yes. And so that's, you know, that's, that's where it is. But it's,
spk_0
and, and, and, look, you know, you and I, in our minds, we feel like we could sit here for 24
spk_0
hours straight and, and talk. And, and the fact of the matter is, is that it should be the best
spk_0
effort every night. But that requires rest that requires. By the way, you do the same amount of
spk_0
show prep. And, you know, it's not like you're going to go, well, there's now 30% of the, or 20%
spk_0
of the stories we're just going to just toss over here. No, no, you still have to, you're doing
spk_0
the same amount of work, but in a more concentrated form, and we want that effort, you know, to be there.
spk_0
Right. We're not going to talk Kamala anymore. Yeah. Right. Well, we are, but only for 107 more days.
spk_0
That's, that's it. No, we draw the line. I'll tell you the greatest compliment that you can get.
spk_0
Our listeners that in the last week since we went to the three hour radio show. Yeah. Furious.
spk_0
Absolutely. Live it. Now, here's how I look at it. Yeah. The first reaction is these people are angry.
spk_0
Oh, why are they angry at you? All right. They're getting, they're getting now, because of
spk_0
episode October 1st, three hours. This is just, I was still miss to a friend of mine.
spk_0
Who is like, oh, God. They, then these are my best friends who insult me all the time. Think
spk_0
about this. They get nobody has ever gotten three hours of me a day and asked for more. Right.
spk_0
Yeah. Exactly. Right. No, I'm, you know, I'm around the house a little bit more. And I,
spk_0
you know, I guess my wife is probably thankful that she's asleep when I get home earlier. It's like,
spk_0
a little more of me. No, thanks. But no, it is, it is a great compliment and to our
spk_0
podcasters, by the way, the people who listen to our podcast every day, because a lot of them have
spk_0
their download set up on Apple, which by the way, on iTunes, you can get that set up. So it's
spk_0
there for you every day. And we love the idea that, you know, it's like, oh, guys, you know,
spk_0
I mean, this was my morning routine. We're going to be there for you. By the way, we're not going
spk_0
anywhere. We're going to be there for you. But no, we're actually obligated to be here for years.
spk_0
Yeah. But for the, you know, for the remainder of that time, they used to spend listening to
spk_0
the longer version, get a life and quit making this about you. Would you?
spk_0
86690, Rhett. Hi. This morning's USDA farm report is brought to you by House products tested,
spk_0
trusted, guaranteed since 1920. Gardener's getting the garden ready for overwintering,
spk_0
adding good shape for next spring. What are some things to consider? Cynthia Domengeti of Kansas
spk_0
State University Extension offers advice starting with if you have a large area, consider looking
spk_0
at cover crops. Some cover crops can be planted early fall time. That's a great way to protect your
spk_0
soil through the winter and contribute nutrients back into the soil for your spring planting.
spk_0
Then there are the basic fall prep tips for getting a garden ready for overwintering to keep
spk_0
it by start cleaning up plant debris to prevent overwintering diseases and pests. If you would like
spk_0
to grow bulbs planting those in the fall is important to get them to bloom in the spring. Some people
spk_0
have good intentions and they buy the bulbs, but they don't get them in the ground in time and they
spk_0
miss out on that spring blooming. I'm Ron Bain reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in
spk_0
Washington DC. This report brought to you by Senex Fules and Loops. Coming up more with Gary
spk_0
McNamara and Eric Harley, it's Red Eye Radio.
spk_0
And he is here, Carly and I'm hearing McNamara. Welcome and good morning. Coming up
spk_0
on the bottom of the hour, the whole J Jones situation here. Well, just see you a morning Joe.
spk_0
Couple of Democrats coming out saying, I just got to go, but the vast majority of Democrats
spk_0
still endorsing him saying, it's no big deal just a private conversation. Republicans are
spk_0
salivating saying, continue to do this. Continue to do this. You're not, they're not saying that
spk_0
publicly, but you look at this and it's, you know, my, as my father used to say, you're going to
spk_0
meet people in your life, in industry and business that have a death wish. Yeah. And promoting
spk_0
something like this is being nothing is having a death wish. So we will get to that. Plus some of
spk_0
the local news coverage on the, the, the, the, the, the, the border patrol and an ice in Chicago.
spk_0
And what happened the other day and how the local news is covering it? Because when you see how
spk_0
the local news is covering it, you're going, okay, you cannot look at that as somebody who,
spk_0
unless you have complete Trump derangement syndrome that would look at that and say, well, no,
spk_0
I understand why he's doing it. Sorry. You cannot ram an ice agent's car and then surround them with
spk_0
ton of, 10 other vehicles. Right. You do that. You do that to cops. You, you do that. You do that
spk_0
to law enforcement. You may die. Right. You don't do that. Right. That's unacceptable. They don't
spk_0
know if you're trying to run again, run them over. They don't know when you're going to stop. No idea.
spk_0
Nope. We'll get to that story and more coming up.
spk_0
You're listening to Red Eye Radio from the unit in America studios.
spk_0
And he is Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara with him and good morning.
spk_0
Thanks for being here this morning. Download our Red Eye Radio app and you can listen when
spk_0
and where you choose. And thank you. Right. So here it is for maybe C7 in Chicago. And it's always
spk_0
interesting to read how the, you know, the local media covers an incident woman shot by CB CB
spk_0
agent among two charged in alleged Brighton Park vehicle ramming prosecutors saying a woman who
spk_0
was shot by a federal agent on Chicago Southwest side on Saturday morning is among two people facing
spk_0
charges in the alleged vehicle ramming incident that happened moments before shots were fired
spk_0
according to federal prosecutors. New video obtained Sunday by ABC news shows another alleged
spk_0
vehicle ramming incident that happened Saturday on Chicago Southwest side. Merrimer Martinez and
spk_0
Anthony Ruiz allegedly use their vehicles to strike another car with three US customs and border
spk_0
protection agents inside in Brighton Park. Prosecutors said Martinez and Ruiz then use their
spk_0
vehicles to box in the agent's car. The Department of Homeland Security said on Saturday that 10
spk_0
vehicles box the agent's in. Unable to move his vehicle to see a PB agent who was driving got out
spk_0
of the car and fired about five shots at Martinez with his service weapon. Martinez who DHS
spk_0
says was armed with the semi automatic weapon drove off but paramedics found her at a repair shop
spk_0
around a mile from the scene and ambulance took her to the hospital where her gunshot wounds were
spk_0
treated. Ruiz also drove away so they had separate vehicles. So you've got two vehicles ramming
spk_0
cars and then 10 others cars surrounding the border patrol in ice. Ruiz drove away but law
spk_0
enforcement officers located him in his vehicle at a gas station about a half a block away.
spk_0
They're both they're both of Chicago are in custody charged with assaulting and peeding and
spk_0
interfering with a federal law enforcement officer. Video captured by a witness shared with the
spk_0
ABC news shows a uniform officer can be seen pointing a gun. Ruiz's SUV is also seen at the gas
spk_0
station. Court documents say it's the same gas station where agents later detained him. Prosecutors
spk_0
say the two were allegedly part of a convoy that followed agents after a CBP operation.
spk_0
Sunday night ABC seven learned about an apparent second incident involving a driver
spk_0
ramming a federal vehicle video was captured from about six blocks north. The driver of the black
spk_0
SUV can be seen ramming into the back of a white pickup truck. Would you ever use your personal
spk_0
vehicle unless it was to save somebody's life. Would you ever ram your personal vehicle?
spk_0
No, you're using it as a weapon. Well, I'm talking about my insurance going up.
spk_0
I'm just going to mess with my rates. Here we go. I'm driving. I get I get the rent
spk_0
of car whenever I go see dad. I'm checking for any scratch. You can buy since I've seen now that
spk_0
who wasn't not not budget. Avis said I used most of time, but I forgot which was at national.
spk_0
The ones that are using AI and they look for any scratch and they'd go, what are you talking about?
spk_0
Yeah, no, my my first concern wouldn't be rates. It would be prison. Right. Prison. Yes, I
spk_0
just thought about the right prison is a deterrent. I am never going to ram a federal officer,
spk_0
but if I was, if I thought about doing that, I think I'm going to ram that FBI car.
spk_0
The thing that would stop me would be Gary, do you like your freedom? Uh-huh.
spk_0
And to do frame first came to Shawshank in 1947.
spk_0
Prussia using his own car to ram an ice vehicle. The driver of the black SUV can be seen
spk_0
ramming into the back of a white pickup truck with flashing blue lights. It was not clear who
spk_0
was driving the SUV. The SUV can be seen chasing the pickup towards a direction of protesters.
spk_0
A second black SUV slams into the first one in what appears to be uniform officers jumped out.
spk_0
Several federal officers were hurt and taken to the hospital on Saturday. Wow.
spk_0
Yeah. Well, there's nothing, there's nothing wrong there. That's what you do to invaders and
spk_0
fascists and Nazis, right? That's actually what's going through the brain of these individuals.
spk_0
I know. They believe they're heroes. They don't believe they're doing anything wrong.
spk_0
That's why we are today. That's the radical left for you. They believe it is their duty to behave
spk_0
this way. Let's put some butts in prison for those that are breaking the law. Let's go.
spk_0
I mean, this is again, so over the top and out of hand and dangerous. Yeah. It's damn dangerous.
spk_0
And then you have you've got Pritzker. You've got the mayor. They're legitimizing this stuff. Yeah.
spk_0
You know, Pritzker lying about it. Yeah. No. It's propaganda. That's not what's going on. It is
spk_0
what's going on. It is. It is what's going on. And you get to the point of saying because you don't
spk_0
we have never wanted to be, you know, have a bullhorn and throw out over the top rhetoric. But I
spk_0
don't see anything else except lying about what's going on here. Again, 100% of the truth.
spk_0
The ICE agents are enforcing God. I got to repeat it again. Our, our enforcing federal law.
spk_0
The federal law was created by the Congress of the United States, which is the elected representatives
spk_0
of the people. If you say it's fascism and Nazi, in my opinion, you want violence. Yep.
spk_0
Because it's the opposite of what's going on. You might not like the law. Fight the law.
spk_0
Don't say that how it's being implemented is somehow fascist, authoritarian, or like the Nazis
spk_0
in World War II because you couldn't be any more wrong. And so Pritzker especially up there,
spk_0
when he says it's propaganda and everything that he's throwing, I mean, it's pure BS.
spk_0
Yeah, it is. And the only, the only reason you would lie about something like that
spk_0
is because you want the violence to continue. Yep. What's the other reason?
spk_0
You're saying that the federal government should not enforce federal law in your state?
spk_0
You know, if you said one thing, if you said, look, we've made it clear, we don't welcome this
spk_0
behavior by President Trump. But also what is clear is that you cannot break the law. You cannot
spk_0
target these agents. That's not Pritzker. That's not the left. The left is, and they're telling you,
spk_0
this is an invasion by Trump. Yeah.
spk_0
That's what they're calling it. It's an invasion.
spk_0
And you're seeing right now, I mean, the actual invasion is by foreign gang members.
spk_0
This is who they're giving deference to.
spk_0
Foreign gang members who teach young kids, as young as 11 or 12,
spk_0
to be violent. This is who they are. The foreign gangs and the cartels are laughing right now,
spk_0
along with the mosque going, we can't believe it. We're getting support. We're getting
spk_0
public support. We could damn near run for office.
spk_0
Yeah. Because the Democratic Party would be on our side.
spk_0
And we need to go to the convention.
spk_0
Let's go to the convention. We might get prime time speaking in 28 in the summer of 28.
spk_0
You and I did that. We were, it was, I don't know when we first started doing it.
spk_0
Probably 2021, or 21, we were saying, my gosh, what's their convention going to look like in 24?
spk_0
Kamala. Joy. It was, it was horrendous. But imagine the Democratic Party in 2028.
spk_0
What is that convention going to look like? What is that stage going to be populated with,
spk_0
with in terms of the individuals that'll be up there. But beyond that, the messaging and their
spk_0
platform and what they're standing on, we see it playing out every single day. Brian Thompson's
spk_0
murderer is being hailed to hero. The assassination of Charlie Kirk is being celebrated by them.
spk_0
When you look at Virginia, for example, which is, you know, Jay Jones from there and we'll get
spk_0
to the specifics of him here in a little bit. But when you see this in Virginia, in Virginia has,
spk_0
you know, Democrats, but Virginia also has a heck of a lot of conservatives in there.
spk_0
Yeah. And you think about it and I look at Virginia and I say, okay, is this the, is this the
spk_0
bellweather of what Democrats are thinking right now that if you look even at the governor's race,
spk_0
the Democrats, she still promotes the radical transgender movement. The guy running for attorney
spk_0
general has talked openly and more came out yesterday about the stuff he said, well, if the cops
spk_0
are dead, then they can't kill you. Yeah. You know, I'm paraphrasing it, but I'm accurate as to what
spk_0
the messaging was on that. Yeah. And so you see this and you see the Democratic party supporting it,
spk_0
the Democratic party believes the reason they're not going to give up these is they view themselves
spk_0
in the polls as still competitive in a place like Virginia. And in some cases, still winning these
spk_0
races in the polls, yet they still hold these unbelievable anti-US anti life pro murder.
spk_0
Uh, you know, opinions, the insanity of the radical transgender movement. And that's why
spk_0
they're not moving. They look and they say, we know these are 80, 20 issues and people may look
spk_0
at the issues, but the fact is we're actually winning a lot of these races in the poll. It may not
spk_0
be the case when November rolls around because, uh, Jay Jones is a gift to Republicans. Yeah. Yeah.
spk_0
But it's coming out absolutely perfectly clear where they stand and they go, we're still competitive.
spk_0
Why would we change? We believe we're still competitive. Right. Right. And if we don't win,
spk_0
we can still be a very healthy minority. Well, look, we were getting millions of votes. We have
spk_0
plenty of support. Yeah. You know, we're winning and in their minds, they believe they're winning.
spk_0
And in the blue states, of course, they're going to still control the blue states. They'll never lose
spk_0
control in my lifetime. They're not going to lose control of the blue states and these major blue
spk_0
cities. Look, this is, this is what they, they want, they want that local control and people can
spk_0
leave those states, but they still have control of those states. And these are major states,
spk_0
California, Illinois, Oregon, New York. My gosh, the list goes on and on. And then the list of
spk_0
major metro areas that they fully control, they don't, they may look at and go, who cares about the
spk_0
White House? Great. Send Gavin. See what he can do. We don't need to win the White House.
spk_0
We'll control everything else from within because we're that powerful and they're still getting
spk_0
those votes. They're not wrong. Right. I mean, the 80, 20 issues are out there. Yep. But they're
spk_0
still holding those 80, 20 positions. They're the 20, but they're still in many of the races,
spk_0
for example, in Virginia, still leading the polls or competitive. Yep. And they're promoting
spk_0
pure insanity. Right. 86690, right. We'll be right back with more red eye radio with Eric
spk_0
Hurley and Gary McNamara.
spk_0
We are red eye radio. He's Eric Hurley and I'm Gary McNamara and update from a story
spk_0
yesterday. We talked about mandami. Remember, we played the audio cut of him saying, well,
spk_0
we're going to have to raise on New York state, the New York state income tax in New York state.
spk_0
Right. Corporate taxes, not just local. Right. Well, he's backed off on that now. He
spk_0
myths he might need a plan B. Hocal came out and said, we're not raising the rest of the state's
spk_0
taxes to support New York City. She's against the the the time. And I because I thought, well,
spk_0
you're just you're destroying yourself. I don't. If you know the culture of New York,
spk_0
which I know and I mean not New York City, but outside of New York City, right. Yeah.
spk_0
Which and the culture is we have no representation because New York City dominates everything in
spk_0
our legislature. And we have no representation of where our tax dollars go and too much of our
spk_0
tax dollars go to support New York City. Right. When you're from there, you know that and that has
spk_0
that has existed. Oh, I don't know. Uh, over half a century, that mindset. Yeah. And it still
spk_0
exists today. So when I saw that, I wasn't surprised because that was the fear as we told you,
spk_0
yesterday, that was the fear going well, it seems like the legislature is going to be fine in letting
spk_0
him raise taxes. Will they go any further because he's going to need more money? He can't get that
spk_0
money from racing taxes on just New York City residents. Right. What he wants to do, we need to get
spk_0
the rest of New York to support him. Well, Holkl doesn't want to bet she gets elected statewide.
spk_0
Well, New York City does control that a lot of that too.
spk_0
