all across america we are on our radio he is eric harley and i'm gary mcnamara good morning well hello you know it is really interesting because we were just uh we were just uh talking about you know cory booker uh over the weekend saying we need to we need to get new leadership here yeah and this is all based on the polls showing that kamala harris is still the runaway leader for democrats yeah uh for 2028 right and every democrat knows this can't be it we can't do that right right yet the polls show the democrat voters want kamala right they don't like anybody else no she's a she's the the the top by a wide margin now they've already said we can't get the donors don't want her yeah there's some of the big donors you know there's

stories but they're saying they're not there and we've always said follow the money and that goes back to the 2020 thing uh not just with her but it it it relates to anybody who's running but we go back with her to the 2020 thing and she never made it to 2020 she dropped out in december of 2019 because the money just ran out there was no big money there and and so when you um uh when you

look at the state of the democratic party and you look at the state of the republican party the republican party everything about the republican party right now when you think about it we even mentioned the daily mail uk source story that jd vance is you know we mentioned this earlier it's not considering we have doubts as to the credibility of of what they're of what they're accusing and and their sources uh but the fact is even in that article what are they talking about they're talking about well vance may have a different set of opinion with trump which could be a problem well what's the opinion about well it's about foreign policy it's about investment you know it should be about uh it's about foreign policy it's about wars whatever that's an issue yeah right it's an issue and who is the best at defending trump on the issues marco rubio that's the gist of the story now how much of it's true or not we don't know but even the arguments about that you know i was reading a story from the wall street journal they've had a couple of stories in the last couple of weeks what the hell's going on with republicans when did they get so union friendly you saw the railroad thing from last week right or in europe they run a train with one engineer and now the trump administration pushed by donald trump and promoted by trump says no they need two it's like well they don't need two they only need one yeah but this is what the union leadership wants and trump wants to give it to the union leadership right there's another one about The negotiation, you know, that that if a a new union comes into a company, if they can't come to an agreement with management in a couple of days, it's taken away from the people of the union to negotiate with the management and goes to basically an arbitrator, which is what they want. Right. Because the arbitrators come in a new situation and they said more than often favor the union over the management. and it's a new union and they said these negotiators really don't know let the people let the worker versus the company argue what the issues are don't be bringing an independent arbitrator for every single thing over a period of time and put it in federal law right but that's where the republican party and they said the democrats are going to vote for this they'll all vote for it but the republicans are pushing it but the fact is the republicans are becoming where democrats were 10 15 20 years ago yeah and this is because the the when when trump especially when he ran last time you know when when biden was in there and i think part of it was the keystone uh the keystone pipeline and also the the uh the the whole with the union leadership started agreeing with uh you know the ev mandates and the and finally they you know the you had the the rank file said we don't want this and so union leadership has become more friendly with republicans my point is you have republicans are debating all these issues they're debating it

because you have conservatives going no mr president what are you doing you know our our job as republicans is not to cater to union leadership right right to make sure we have a you know vibrant economy yes but not to cater that's an issue right it's an issue going back and forth Sure. And so all the things that Republicans are discussing right now is about the issues. Where do we stand on the issues? The biggest, you know, debate when you look at it with with Republicans has been on the the SAVE Act. And those few Republicans still won't get to 60 in the Senate, but it's still always why aren't they agreeing, you know, with the president here? everything here that we're dealing with today the texas primary a lot of it's based on would you agree with trump on the issues well this guy you know cornyn didn't agree with trump here here and here therefore you need to vote for paxton right yeah you know i mean that's that but it's all based on issues the democrats are completely different they all are unified on the issues they're as radical as can be they haven't changed on anything and when they say they're looking looking for new leadership they're not looking for new ideas they're looking for someone look this is why tallarico won against jasmine crockett and was talked about all the time democrats are saying you know something the public has had enough of black radicals we need to have a white man radical they're more willing to accept a white man radical than they are a black woman radical it's all identity politics yeah but both is there a difference of opinion on any issue no With Jasmine Crockett and Tallarico? No. None. They both believe the same insane thing. It's who can market the insanity. And that's why it's getting to be fun as the Democrats have this, you know, internal now identity politics fight going back and forth. And remember, even the Jasmine Crockett, people that supported her. Right. Even the Democrats won't support a black woman anymore.

Well, we saw that with Kamala back in 2019. She blamed America for, and of course, it was a primary season, so it wasn't America. It was her own party for being bigoted. And then you look at the bigotry that goes on. He's got a Nazi tattoo. Oh, but he was angry. I mean, they fully embraced it. It's they're promoting it at every turn while trying to promote this idea that we're not bigots. The other side, they're the bigots.

Hey, I'm Chris Van Vliet. Go behind the scenes and beyond the headlines with the biggest names in pro wrestling and beyond. You could pop up in WWE tomorrow.

This should make every headline in the world. It makes sense, right? In a jelly roll. We knew we had that kind of a moment. Mindset, motivation, and what it takes to succeed.

All right, what's the, let's, go Nazi! Go Nazi! Yeah. You dang bigots. Trump, you're Hitler. All right, where's the real Nazi? Oh, that guy. Let's vote for him. Yeah. Elon Musk waves at a crowd. All of a sudden he's Hitler. Yeah, exactly. But it's all. But when you look at it, you know, that it's it's all it's all the imagery for the Democrats are not changing at all onto any of their radical positions whatsoever. They are still as radical as you can get. And that's the difference. The Republicans are arguing the issues. The Democrats, and there is a, by the way, there is a part of the Democratic Party, sometimes Trump's a part of it. Just support me. Right. Just support me, you know. I mean, I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but that's not what drives the party. It may drive certain individuals and say, you should agree with Trump all the time.

Yeah.

And other people go, no, no, I don't, I don't think so. Not on this and not on this and not on this. And that was part of the debate you're seeing right now on the whole union thing. They're like, why is Trump cozying up to the union leadership? Why are certain Republicans? Why is Josh Hawley? Why on fiscal issues is Josh Hawley starting to sound like a, you know, a socialist? Right. what's going on here what happened and other republicans are going after other republicans but what's it based on issues yeah democrats all believe the same crazy things today they believe in open borders they believe in the radical transgender movement they believe in the misogyny of the and the sexism of the radical transgender movement they believe in the threatening of young women if young women don't agree with it they continue to agree with the identity politics we saw that came up in the autopsy yeah that was the one thing that was true yeah the autopsy the one thing that was true well a couple of things were true in the democrat autopsy and that is

they said we need to stop with the identity politics that's judging people by groups and not as individuals that's the racism that is systemic and institutionalized inside the democratic party and they know it yep but they can't get away from it it's the core of who they are and so they're just trying to find they're trying to the democrats are trying let's go back to the old movie the democrats are trying to find the great white hope yeah no they are at every turn look they have their meeting as a party as an organization they have their big meeting they spend three days going over their new dei rules and the two leaders they end up with on the fourth day are two white guys and then they want them both out right well the one's gone yeah I haven't heard much from him, from Hogg, whatever his name is. I haven't heard from him much. Yeah, neither have I. And the one thing he said, what did he say, basically, was we need more radicals to appeal to my age group, his age group, being, you know, in that 18 to 35 range. Which is exactly what the Republican Party, or excuse me, what the Democratic Party is trying to do right now. That's exactly what they're trying to do. And I thought to myself, that should have been not something that basically got him kicked out of the party. It should have been something that they were promoting and chanting. Well, but they can't. They have to pretend that they're not. I forgot about that part. You're still pretending. Will you start paying attention to what's going on in the world, please? No, but here's the thing. But then they don't. You know, they really don't pretend anymore. Yeah, it's a Nazi tattoo, but that was then, this is now. They don't pretend. I still heard it over the weekend, the justification. It's still my, this, it may be my, my, my all-time favorite, because it's so bad, you know, political twist. and that is yeah yeah he had the nazi tattoo and he had some of those beliefs but that's because he was so angry he was so angry at the injustice that's going on yeah oh so angry nazis are okay yeah i guess content and happy nazis even though i will admit they might have a point because i've never met a content and happy nazi i i can't say that i've been looking for one are there any content and happy nazis out there you know i haven't attended any nazi parties hey anybody in here happy raise your hand if you're happy and you know it clap your hands

no but that the the the mental gymnastics that they're attempting to do to keep supporting uh uh what's his name plat right platner platner platner yes yeah okay i get plat and platner mixed up uh the mental gym and every day there's something new coming out yeah you know about the yeah you know going after the one uh you know purple heart recipient right going after what the uh uh uh kyle yeah right the uh the the uh chris kyle chris kyle going after chris kyle and his wife going back at but the thing is so what i love the most is democrats are right well look he's evolved from that well what does he evolve to from a nazi to a communist yeah right so he went by the way there was a ton of documentaries over the weekend i was watching one about world war ii about uh you know how hitler and stalin were you know uh you know they were you know buddy buddy buddy and then uh hitler went and and stalin didn't think he'd ever come you know come into russia right yeah and was furious when he you know when he did right uh but i started thinking he goes so he went from hitler to that's i was thinking over the weekend so platter went from hitler to stalin yeah and the democrats are going yay so he has evolved right he's by the way wasn't that at the no oligarchs rally i think it was right over the weekend that isn't that where they were is that where also he couldn't pronounce bernie sanders name correctly a couple well i don't i don't think this was when he said he was a communist did he uh the communist statement goes back months ago okay months all right all right i've known that for but this this past weekend he's with bernie at the new oligarchs rally and and flubbed bernie's name twice i didn't hear that yeah did he really yeah how do you flub bernie sanders i don't know i probably called him bernie mack or something i don't know What's

he's he's new you know nazis sometimes get things confused is it and i see he's part i saw part communist i saw in one poll he's a communazi saw in one poll last couple of days he's got 48 of the vote yep 48 of people in maine say yep zig heil we need a nazi 48 that's more than half so it's like what in the hell i mean that's that's the one thing you look at it shows you how far gone they are no it's it really does it is insane if cory booker saying we guys we need new leadership you and i have been asking this question though for a while who is it who's at the top well no tell me who give me the list Give me the list. We can give you the short list for 28, but give me the list that really has an appeal that we know is resounding throughout the party. Because Marco Rubio, you can say, resounding throughout the party. I'm not saying 100%. I'm saying it goes throughout the party. There is support for him. Governor DeSantis, there is support for him. jady vance there's support for him you can say that's they have wide support show me the wide support where's the leadership of the party who's in control but they also have differing opinion on things yes who in the the the question for the democrats is not who the new leadership is who is the new leadership that can set you in the direction that everybody knows you need to go to have long-term success right which means on the issues right nobody will will veer from the major issues none right right none right now they'll pretend they will i mean remember kamala harris i'm i am more of a border hawk than trump ever has wished to be was her first ad that she came out with and it was just like no you're not no and then in the end she had to disavow all like mission impossible yeah we're gonna disavow all knowledge of having those opinions before right because they can't no so i never the democrat on over the weekend it was on cnbc i can't think of who it was it was somebody in the biden administration and they were interviewing her and she said and he said what are you talking about the american public and the worker wasn't helped you know by the border thing and then trump or then biden was able to fix it by the end and they should have hit him what do you mean fix it he caused it right and it's like yes we need secure borders we need secure borders she's not i don't believe she's running for office i can't don't i've just saw that very quickly over the weekend just popped into my mind but i'm like no he caused it right he couldn't solve it no lost it exactly we are red eye radio

brought to you by fppf fuel power max the ifta tax program redistributes tax revenue to states based on your actual miles run thus the truly cheapest fuel can only be found if you subtract federal and state taxes and state surcharges from the pump price to compare the strategy means that you buy without regard for whether you are paying more at the pump in taxes ifta also considers state surcharges which complicates the fuel buying strategy indiana kentucky and virginia have per gallon surcharges connecticut kentucky new mexico new york and oregon have per mile surcharges While some owner-operators buy only enough fuel to get through surcharge states, this practice can backfire, depending on the actual cost of the fuel in each state. When comparing fuel prices, always remember, pump pride minus taxes equals the real fuel cost. Owner-operator Business 101 is provided by Overdrive's Partners in Business program.

For your Red Eye Radio, he's Herb Curley and I'm Gary McNamara. You know, it's funny about the oligarchy tour. What's it called? Stop the oligarchy? Yes, Stop the Oligarchs. Yeah, what I find so humorous about it, you know, Bernie Sanders and then bringing Plattner on. Plattner last week who talked about the fact that the other side, people that disagree with him, want private property gone. Well, that's actually the concept of what he believes. Yeah. And then the whole concept of oligarch came from the downfall of the Soviet Union. Yes. So

The Soviet Union is responsible for the modern-day oligarch. Exactly. Wow. Wow.

You're listening to Red Eye Radio from the Relief Factor Studios.

and he is eric carley and i'm gary mcnamara download our run i radio app today and you can listen when and where you choose so uh uh just you know i i realized i could have gone further in uh in in my analogy of uh platner in maine first last week he we and we had played the audio where he talks about the fact that the opposition to him and what he believes are people that don't want you to own property yeah right you know they don't want you to own the they want to own all the property and we're sitting thinking to ourselves excuse me you're the nazi who claims to evolved to evolved into a communist yeah and a communist believes in state ownership of all property where the other side believes the opposite they believe people should be able to acquire wealth and own property for example when you look at two of the the the the states where the conservative fiscal movement is probably moving in a direction more than any other states and they're two of the biggest states florida and texas what are they doing on property taxes lowering them they're lowering prop that's a key right there yeah if if the oligarchs of the republican party wish to keep you from owning property why are the two one of the two biggest probably the two biggest republican states doing the exact opposite and moving in the direction of one of the complaints of people all across the United States that property taxes is like paying rent. You never truly own your property, and that's why Florida's attempting to get rid of property tax completely. Right. And Texas is moving in that same direction. That's a goal, for example, of Governor Abbott. Right. That's his goal, to eventually get rid of it. Now, yes, government can take other forms of your property, income, whatever, sales tax, whatever. But a house is actually something that continues. It's property that you have. It continues to grow in value. As it continues to grow in value, you have to pay more in property taxes to afford that same home. And one of the things that we have talked about for the longest time are senior citizens. I mean, that's the whole concept of the reverse mortgage, right? Yeah, right.

They basically, as long as you occupy as the, well, soon to be former owner of the home, you're going to get a certain stipend. They're going to pay you back a certain amount until you pass. I don't know exactly how it works.

Well, no, but the entire concept is you're on a limited income and property taxes are killing you.

Oh, you mean that's the reason people turn to it.

People turn to it, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The concept of why they turn to it because they're on a fixed income. And what's the biggest cost? The biggest cost, as we've talked about, we talked about it last week. Biggest cost for people that are retired. And this was that whole study that was done, that you need, if you're going to retire and you want to just have the basic necessities, the difference between California and Texas is you need $35,000 more in California than you do in Texas just to have the same lifestyle. Now, if you wish to have a comfortable lifestyle, and then went through all the numbers, you need $45,000. You need to be earning $45,000 every year more as a retired person in the state of California than you do in the state of Texas. And the biggest culprits, as the research found, is income tax and property tax. yep and and so but the whole concept is the ultimate in property is where you live that's what you value the most that's your entire quality of life that's not entire but that's such a huge portion of your quality of life and the biggest thing that most people uh outside of investments but probably for most people in the united states that's where the most of their money in their life is tied up right right and once they pay it off and so that's the entire concept So to say that the other side doesn't want you to own property, the exact opposite is happening in the two biggest Republican states. Yeah. It's more of a movement towards the ownership of property. And that's why, again, you know, Plattner, again, was absolutely lying. And as a communist, that was the whole point that was brought up. What are you talking about? He got blasted on that. Of course, he won't stick with that. so the whole him being on the whole stop the oligarchy tour as a communist yeah yeah you know what's what's he what he is saying is the you know what the message i get from it because he won't go into specific details they never do it's all generalities right we're for the working man we're for you ever notice the political systems that are for the working man never are uh and but but when he talks about stop the the the oligarchy the oligarchs when you you talk oligarch where it came from in modern history won't go back all the way to rome or greeks or whatever all you've got to do is go right to russia when russia fell and russia had to sell its assets cheap they sold them to a bunch of black marketers a bunch of other people who took it at a lower rate and then when they had to borrow from banks and other people the

government to keep their businesses going they couldn't do it they loaned they couldn't keep the businesses going the government couldn't they ended up being taken over and then when putin got a hold of everything in 2000 the oligarchs were getting a little bit out of control so you either he either exiled you or you had to become the billionaire that supported what the state wanted so what he's saying is the oligarchs the oligarchy system in russia is wrong we need to go back to the state-sponsored communism because that was so successful for russia yes that's the message i get from what he said and being on the oligarchy tour with bernie sanders tell me where i'm wrong anyone that was there well it's a supports that it's and it is the

current and it's it's the current version of let's go full-on commie. You know, they think they had the win because Mamdani won in New York City. Mamdani hasn't done anything. He's changed projections. you know this this whole thing about his success so far is amazing he hasn't done anything i know well some of the some of the items we promised were free were actually are actually going to come with user fees you mean the way it is now because if you think about it free buses well well there will be a user fee you mean like a bus ticket you mean like we've had before you mean like nothing has changed and and they have convinced people that they're successful at implementing new policy and the fact of the matter is there's no way for them to do that there's no way for this to work it just can't they mom donna keeps knocking on the door at the state capitol

and hogle keeps caving as governor okay here's a few more billion okay here's a few more billion

she was dedicating something in western new york yesterday some park or something where they spent money on and i watching part of the speech and i just looked at the comments below and these are all new yorkers saying she sounds like she's talking to children yeah no she does i'm like well that's what she believes no that's it they all do they the democrats believe that the people

that vote for them are complete idiots elizabeth warren yep uh hochel yep uh obama did it yep

they all do they believe you're stupid well then again remember you and i always remember when chris rock remember when chris rock was with obama oh my god they're like our mommy and our daddy that's right i see them as my mom and dad remember chris rock said that it's just like my god yeah right

You better not get on a stand-up stage ever again, you wimp. Yeah. Like, I need my mommy and my daddy. But that's how they see them. Yep. And so when you sit there and you're amazed that they talk down to you and talk to you like a child, that's because there you've got some, one of the biggest stand-up comics. Oh, speaking of that, the biggest stand-up comics in the world talking about, you know, they're like our mother and our father. No, they're not. you saw what's his name uh uh carrie uh jim carrie no no the other one drew carrie oh yeah oh my gosh oh you saw what he did over the weekend no oh you didn't no oh he went after um uh uh platt in um oh in uh california okay uh the price is wrong drew oh my gosh it was he uh he said uh f this guy okay you know he has no idea what he's doing uh what you know whatsoever all right just like okay i think it was elisa finley in the uh elisa finley in the wall street journal said well she did say one thing it was wrong she said that uh karen bass and and uh and uh uh newsome uh you know they're inept they're not diabolical and i'm like i don't know about that i don't know about that i'm not sure but she was talking about how inept they are it's like you can't get more inept than you know than they did and she just gave the different examples you know the fire and everything else and it's like uh it's like well he can't do it well if he if he went and became the mayor of la and just said i'm going to do nothing it probably would be an improvement yeah because sometimes it's better if government does nothing than does something yeah yeah talked about that a lot no no we had what oh it was the obama uh deal with the rant uh it was remember the calls well at least they're doing something the call yeah no no no do doing nothing quite often for the government quite often is much better we suggested you and i years ago that congress now in texas we have a part-time legislature People don't realize this. I said that again, told a couple of people this weekend. They said, no way. And I said, no, our legislature meets their part time. They meet every two years for two months. Yeah. And we get there. And so, you know, every couple of years, I'd like them to slow that down.

But we, you and I suggested that in D.C., on the federal level, we do the same thing. But that they come in at 11 a.m. on Wednesday and go home at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. And to encourage them to do it, we pay them $500,000 a year instead of the $174,000 or $180,000. And people first got upset. We said, no, no, no, no, no. That'll save us money. You must realize if they would agree to do it for that money, we would save hundreds of billions of dollars. Because they would get nothing done. You know, with this, which gets back to the whole populism. Well, they get nothing done. They get nothing good. Yeah. Good. But here is Drew Carey blasted Spencer Pratt as a serial scammer. Said, quote, anybody who votes for or endorses Spencer Pratt for mayor of L.A. needs to get their head out of their posterior. He didn't use that word, though. I understand being angry, unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass. F this guy already. You mean to replace the extremely competent Democrats that are running for that position, Drew? Yeah, right. They never talk about competence for the Democrats. No, they never talk about qualifications. They didn't with Obama. They talked about the color of his skin. They never talk about qualifications. We are Red Eye Radio. Coming up, more with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley. It's Red Eye Radio. We are Red Eye Radio. He's Eric Harley, and I'm Gary McNamara. I just saw this story. uh gary sinise said his money would be moving a lot faster out the door if he still lived in

california he didn't interview with fox news digital and talked about when he quit acting in 2019 yeah and then his son got diagnosed with cancer and then covid and everything else he said we had a nice house and any relative that needed to stay we could stay so we like the house but after it ended i started to think what happens if i don't go back to work do i want to spend all the money here in california paying these big prices for gas and property taxes and different things the house we had was a house that was very good for our family because it was big enough We could provide shelter for a lot of family members that might have been struggling at the time talking about COVID, but we weren't in need of it anymore. I really started zeroing in on the lifestyle here. The 71-year-old actor said there's a gas station where I was getting gas for $2.59 a gallon. Then I visited California, and you know they're up like $5.79 a gallon, so they're $3 more a gallon for gas in California. I just don't understand it. I don't want to give it all to California and property taxes.

i'd rather give it to my kids later on yep yep more and more people are are having that thought and obviously he had the means to get up to move but a lot of people that aren't in that category in terms of their income or wealth are also finding out they can't afford to stay in these blue areas they have to move
