now it's red eye radio gary mcnamara and eric hurley talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day whether you're up late or you're just starting your day welcome to the show from the relief factor studios this is red eye radio

all across america we are red eye radio he is eric carley and i'm gary mcnamara welcome and good morning thank you for being here this morning thank you what was the other thing in the election oh here it is or the uh runoffs primaries whatever you want to call them in texas yesterday democrat maureen galindo the south texas sex therapist who drew national attention from Democratic Party leaders was defeated in her primary runoff yesterday, according to Associated Press. The seat newly drawn from Texas Republicans' redistricting effort is currently represented by a squad member. However, the liberal senator is running in an adjacent district, being vacated by Representative Lloyd Doggett, leaving the now red-leaning seat up for grabs. Galindo became a national flashpoint when she was accused of anti-Semitism for floating a plan to imprison American Zionists at an ICE detention center. She's a nutcase. Wow. So she did not win.

Okay, then. I'm sorry. Yeah.

meanwhile what's going on with iran what is going on with iran this is trump's last post about it at 232 otherwise he really didn't mention it much of the day at all you ready all right what did trump say yesterday on true social if iran surrenders admits their navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea and their air force is no longer with us and if their entire military walks out of Tehran weapons dropped and hands held high each shouting I surrender I surrender while wildly waving the representative white flag and if their entire remaining leadership signs all necessary documents of surrender and admits their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent usa the failing new york times the china street journal that's a wall street journal corrupt and now irrelevant cnn and all the other members of the fake news media will headline that iran had a masterful and brilliant victory over the united states of america and it wasn't even close the democrats and the media have totally lost their way

they have gone absolutely crazy by the way i did not read that post i read i read parts of it that were in the headlines and i thought well i don't know how much i put into it you know because he was going off on the democrats and the his his words and i have stronger words that i use that i can't use on the air uh but but he was going you know it was like one of those types of posts onto social so i didn't read the whole thing but as you were reading it just now i thought if all of these things happen with iran i will agree to a deal

well oh so did i when i read it yesterday i i went where's this going where's this going this may be the greatest deal he's ever made of all time i'll read the art of a deal for a 20th time if this is true and then i was like oh no he's just saying if this all happened yeah yeah yeah well but the interesting thing is you know he's he uh the does he even read the wall street journal

editorial page uh i don't i'm sure it gets to him somehow because i don't know because to

include again as we've talked about before the wall street journal has two sections the new section in the editorial section and they're really separate yeah yeah and the the opinion the the uh to sit there and make the comparison that the new york times and the and the wall street journal are somehow connected is absolutely ridiculous yeah in fact what the wall street journal is saying and has said the whole time make a deal get rid of they want iran gone yeah they don't have the same opinion of the new york times and I wonder at times whether he even reads the Wall Street Journal because he makes statements on them. Maybe something hit him from an editorial or something a year ago, whatever, but he always throws the Wall Street Journal in there. But the editorial page has simply done what most Republicans have done and most Republican media.

Yeah.

You know, defeat them. Right. Get this thing done. Don't leave it. You know, don't don't leave it. Don't give them a deal. Do not give them money. Make sure you verify. You know, going back to the the the old salt agreements between the the Soviet Union and the United States. Trust but verify, which means you really don't trust. Right. Exactly. Exactly.

sleep score with apple watch iphone 11 or later required i drive my bus in a busy city that's why road safety is so important to me i know that i must slow down and be extra careful when i make a wide turn buses need more room than cars everyone can help keep our roads safe next time you're driving remember to give buses plenty of time and space to finish turning before driving ahead let's all plan to share the road safely learn how at www.sharetheroadsafely.gov

and and so but i just i always find it interesting these throws them in because you know uh if you actually subscribe i subscribe to the wall street journal really just for the editorial page yeah you know and yeah and uh they are here when you look at it some the some of the strongest support for the president's legal position when the democrats were coming after him came from the wall street journal yeah and that's why i just wonder at times you know why he's using them you know what it is about you know i don't know why he calls it you know does he call it the china street journal for a reason is that is that because they disagree with him on tariffs

i don't remember what it was but that's when uh murdoch was sitting in his office remember uh i don't think he called it the china street journal at that moment but he there's rupert murdoch just sitting a few feet away from him and he's just ripping it to shreds just ripping it to shreds and i think he mentioned and i can't i can't remember exactly but i do believe he mentioned in that moment being controlled by china or something uh it may have been on trade but i just remember murdoch being right there he's just a few feet away and he's just shredding it it was almost it was almost as if he didn't know murdoch murdoch was well no no i knew he it was very apparent that he did it was reminiscent of him on larry king going hey could you back up you've got really bad breath larry has anybody ever told you that that actually happened before he was president of course it was years ago when larry was still around and still interviewing donald trump he said do you mind backing up you've got really bad breath has anybody ever told you that it's horrible it's a mix between uh you stink i smelt you it's it's a mix between garlic denture cream and smoke that's the smell i'm smelling right now larry could you back up no he actually said to him You've got bad breath. Could you back up? And so I kind of compared that Rupert Murdoch thing on the Wall Street Journal.

as they're sitting there in the Oval Office, and he's just shredding the Wall Street Journal.

You ready?

Yeah. You want to play it? Yeah, I found it real quick. This is the Larry King one? Yeah. All right. Here we go. 1989.

1989. Okay.

Yeah.

I love the fact that we can have fun on the show like this. Sure. Yes. No. Here we go. All right. Here we go.

Do you mind if I sit back a little bit? No. Because your breath is very bad. It really is. Has this ever been told to you before? No. Okay, then I won't bother. Actually, that's how you get the edge.

And the liberal media. You know, Donald Trump is afraid to talk how he really feels. You know, he's just. yeah yeah rupert murdoch sitting there oh hi hi rupert let me talk about the wall street journal for just a second yeah he just shredded them on that day it was uh it was bad it was bad yeah so i don't know if he reads the editorial page i'm i think it gets back to him i think maybe he does i i tend to believe that he's watching some fox news reading some wall street journal and then someone points to you know maybe the new york times or something uh and it it shows up somewhere in you know in front of him washington post occasionally uh but but yeah I don't know that he understands or, I guess, cares about what, you know, what they think. If they disagree with him on a core issue, it's pretty much over. Now, the liberal activist media can't say anymore, well, he's just targeting us.

No.

Because at times he'll go after Fox News.

Oh, yeah, he's gone after – why is anybody watching Fox?

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

Who was it? What's your name on Fox News that he went after? This was three or four weeks ago, not too long ago. I forget what the issue was. Shannon Bream? No.

By the way, I just saw the numbers.

Yeah.

Do you know that Fox News Sunday is, I mean, in such low fourth place? No. Yeah. i mean all the all the shows have like over two million george stepanopoulos has been leading fox 884 000 really yeah wow place on the sunday morning wow interesting interesting now i remember that's not i mean i know it's on the fox news channel but it's not it's not comparing the fox news channel no no no as a whole right this is this is the network right yeah network fox yeah yeah i saw that was like whoa no but he's no he's gone after he's he's gone after fox big time oh yeah remember remember it was in 2020 where he said i don't watch fox i watch newsmax remember the whole thing with newsmax uh they were just promoting like crazy the president listens or watches us the president watches us yeah yeah so yeah i um

i i think i don't know it's i think he takes in as much as he can usually likely on air force one you know or in the morning when he's having you know breakfast at 2 a.m when he gets oh no i'm

sorry i need to use the democrat answer from yesterday yeah because he's going to the doctor again because he's got dementia yeah they were going great i mean i just it was yeah it was so poor yeah the media yesterday was just going why oh why is he going again who has to go to the doctor three times uh you know in in three times in 13 months and i went well i've been to the

doctor three times in 13 months actually i go uh and i've been four times yeah every well i you

know mine's just a general check i mean general checkup every six months yeah that's now yeah now i'm a i'm a type 2 diabetic but it's all under control right i mean there is no there is the The only thing, you know, it's really for the six-month blood work is all it is.

Well, I've been diagnosed with hypochondria, so I go in every four.

I seriously go in every three months.

It is every three months. My follow-ups are every three months. But, yeah.

And so, yeah.

I don't have anything, but I believe.

i have everything but somebody who was 80 yeah i can see them going in you know yeah uh in fact

uh both of my parents i mean uh thanks to uh the care they get they actually get the care in their home so they they're while their doctor doesn't come to the house uh the nurses do nurse practitioners do and so they can take uh whatever they need samples any kind of blood sample or anything like that to the doctor's office then if they have to go to the doctor's office but that's a regular thing now dad is 93 as of last week mom's 88 but yeah if you're at that age you're gonna go you're gonna go more often it's just the way it is i'm hoping that by the time you know being a hypochondriac i'm hoping by the time god willing that i reach 80 years old i'm going every day once a day every day no it's it's the liberal activist media wanting to and and you know with the chuck todd comment well he's not busy he's just loud what the hell does that even mean that he's he's all talk he's not doing anything he's just so i mean you know it goes back to the thing of this is how they think and how they behave they they project that on to others that that really is the case you know they they they talk and talk and talk and they don't do anything remember when the president was uh made his uh trip to the middle east and this was before we bombed the nuclear site in iran but he made the trip to the middle east and there it was a sore story to be fair but the source was from somebody that was part of the biden administration or or worked for biden it could have been a staffer but it worked uh in the white house with biden saying it's so refreshing to see somebody who has enough energy to make all these trips and get all these things done sorry chuck todd but he's getting a lot more done than

you are but you the thing is you can't sell it yeah you can't it shows that you're out of touch you may look you may and the interesting thing is there were a couple of people that that wrote and said look yeah i'm not a trump fan right but to sit there and compare trump and his cognitive abilities even had some democrats said it yeah in response that chuck todd post right and chrysalis also was on top of it too the same thing yeah yeah three times in 13 months and it was just like you you can't sell this and even democrats were saying you can't sell this right you can't sit there and say that trump is biden no and has lost the cognitive abilities that biden has you just can't sell that to the average person right don't try to sell it and you're certainly you know if you could pick somebody else in the republican party maybe if you pick mcconnell you could do it yeah but you're not going to do it it's just it's stupid it's you know what it shows you've got nothing else yeah exactly because if you're leading with that yeah it's like you don't have

We are on our radio. He's Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara. Did you see? I want to make sure I have this.

story because this reminds me of this is sort of the bizarro world of chaz or chop remember was it oh yeah chaz yeah chaz i think it was chop at one point it was chop then it was chaz they changed remember the the summer of love creating your own city yeah this is sort of the bizarro world of this frustrated i don't know i saw this story two days ago i don't know if the city made them take it down or not frustrated seattle residents living near the city's troubled aurora avenue corridor are taking public safety into their own hands after a violent weekend shootout rattled neighborhoods already plagued by prostitution trafficking and recurring gun violence neighbors told fox 13 seattle they've started erecting makeshift barricades on residential streets after repeated pleas to city leaders and police for stronger enforcement uh allegedly went unanswered they've got these cars can't get through wow you get i mean they're in the middle the street yeah yeah they're trying to protect their own homes yep wow

observing and analyzing the insanity Eric Harley and Gary McNamara, nightly on Red Eye Radio.

And he's Eric Harley, and I'm Gary McNamara. Download our Red Eye Radio app today, and you can listen when and where you choose. Yeah, so the story out of Seattle, frustrated Seattle residents living in the city's troubled Aurora Avenue corridor are taking public safety into their own hands after a violent weekend. And neighbors told Fox 13 Seattle they've started erecting makeshift barricades. And I saw the story on it from a TV station the other day on residential streets. And it reminded me of Chad and Chop and all that. Yeah. After repeated pleas to city leaders and police for stronger enforcement allegedly went unanswered. The growing outrage follows an early morning shootout Saturday near Aurora Avenue North and North 98th Street, where Seattle police responded after reports of more than 30 gunshots fired. Surveillance video obtained by Fox 13 Seattle show men ducking behind vehicles and exchanging gunfire in the street as bullets ripped through the neighborhood. Police later recovered roughly 40 shell casings scattered across both sides of Aurora Avenue. Nearby homes, buildings, and vehicles were struck by gunfire. Who the heck are these guys, you know, who think that they can just shoot up the neighborhood, said Rudy Pantoja, who works for the owner of a nearby property damaged by the shooting, told Fox News Seattle, it is insane. It's unacceptable and it's wrong. and the mayor needs to step up to the plate. Residents say this area has become increasingly dangerous in recent months with many reporting near nightly gunfire and criminal activity spilling from Aurora Avenue and the surrounding neighborhoods. Some residents have since responded by installing homemade barriers intended to block traffic and discourage criminal activity from moving into the neighborhood streets after initial barricades were vandalized. Neighbors rebuilt them with stronger reinforcements. Nearby, in hand-written chalk, message reads, no gunfire. We're just afraid that a neighbor is going to have to die before the city is doing something another resident said. I'm just thinking how long they're going to allow them to keep that up. But then when the city public works department comes to take them down, because they reinforce them, they're really heavy. They've got rocks and everything in it. You'd need some type of earth-moving equipment to move it out of there. So the police are going to show, the TV cameras will be there, and that's what they want. They know they're not going to be able to keep the barricades on a public street up. Right.

Yeah, you don't have the authority to do that. but they they they said this how else do we get publicity and by the way it got national publicity well yeah um you know we said this during chop and chas and chad and charlie Charlene, it, you know, because our first concern or question was about how the locals respond, the locals living in that area that are affected negatively by that kind of behavior. And you have to, at some point, you feel like, in fact, they do feel like in this case, well, we'll take matters into our own hands. You know, we'll put up barricades. I don't, man, I'll tell you, I don't know what, I can't imagine that kind of frustration. I just cannot imagine that kind of frustration. Because it's not like you can just pick up and move in a day. It's, what else, what else can you do? What other choice is there? And when it was going on with Chad and Chaz and Charlie, I just, at that point, I thought to myself, well, they're going to have to give it. Then, of course, all the violence happened, and that was going to be the end of it. But I just can't imagine. because the first thing i would think of is is moving leaving and you know long term a lot of these people that are you know doing this trying to basically get back and say all right we're just going to put up the barricades you know they're considering they've got to go you know this is the problem with these liberal run areas they think they can get away with anything and everything and that people will stay it's not just about the cost of living it's not just about taxing the billionaires it's not just the billionaires that want to leave things like this are part of the mass exodus that we're seeing uh cnn yesterday harry enton doing

the polling thing was talking about crime that if you look at it you know when when trump uh became president it he was up plus four in in crime republicans were up plus four in crime republicans now up 13 in crime yeah and even democrats and the interesting thing is let me play this part here from harriet when he is he talks about democrats and and crime OK, here it is.

It's an interesting divide within the Republican, excuse me, within the Democratic Party here. Yeah, OK. So, you know, one of the great fault lines right now we see within the Democratic Party is between white college graduates and non-whites with no college degree. And look at this. Democrats, this is among Democrats, want them to be more centrist on crime. Look at this. Non-white, no college, 59 percent, the clear majority versus the white college graduates, just 42 percent, in fact, say they want Democrats to be more centrist on crime. So this is one of these great dividing lines, right, in which those centrist voters of color are feeling one way, at least those without a college degree, while those white college graduates oftentimes who, of course, a lot of folks would make the argument, hey, they're not the ones who are necessarily feeling the impact of higher crime rates where they exist, where there's this real divide within the party. It's going to be very interesting to see out in Los Angeles, especially if there's a runoff, whether or not Pratt tries to play Democrats up against each other.

Right. Just let you know, he was talking about the race in L.A. that that Pratt now is was just was a month ago. I think he was at a seven percent chance of winning. Now it's twenty seven percent. He goes, one of the things is crime. And it pointed out now this is a national survey, but white college Democrats, 42% believe the Democrats should move more centrist, non-white, no college, 59%, almost 60% of Democrats believe that our non-white, no college, believe that we need to be tougher on crime. And he makes the point, as Arienton said, when you look at the areas where there's a lot of high crime, and we're talking Democrat cities, the population of blacks is greater than in the suburbs. And he makes the point, hey, white college Democrats aren't as affected by crime as non-white, no college. think about what that means especially after 2020 yeah remember all of that right and so what what's saying is white democrats don't want to be tougher on crime non-white no college democrats want their party to be tougher on crime yeah

and and that's why it's so tough to predict elections now it's so tough because there is no standard status quo you know we think about it where we were in the summer of 2020 think about where the radical transgender movement was back then oh yeah yeah take the identity politics take you know the democrats on on on on crime take cnn the mostly peaceful protests yeah as a city is as a neighborhood is burning behind them mostly peaceful think about that and i don't know what kind of an effect that has as i said right now the republicans only i don't believe that the iran war in general is a weak point for trump whether the majority or people want to be over there or not i don't think that's a major issue his poll numbers really have not yeah the one thing that's killing the republicans are prices if the war ends and gas prices go down as we mentioned trump really has no power for massive across the board tariffs after july and that gives 90 roughly 90 days for prices to moderate they will if the war ends gas prices will go way way down again and that takes that takes a lot of that away from the democrats but the republicans have the insanity of the democrats on everything from crime who was it uh uh pratt said in la the other and by the way this is all getting national all getting national coverage uh he said the other day they're talking about the homeless and he goes well homelessness is not the problem what do you mean it's drug addicts and it's like a lot of democrats went yeah no he's right yeah it's not homelessness it's drug addiction right and it's absolutely true i can't get into details but i have a situation i've told you about i have a situation with somebody who i knew a long long time ago who's been in contact with me and i found out uh you've got the the i'll just put it this way you've got the professionals uh and the the the this this person has harmed themselves somebody i knew a long long time ago and put my name out to a a counseling place at a hospital i have no idea why i didn't really i just don't admit for me uh but um uh and saying i could help them they're trying to stay out of getting help yeah and this person is homeless and will not get the treatments there for them yeah right and this person has been contacting me to bail them out monetarily and it's like no and actually i

was contacted by the hospital's outreach group right yeah telling me do you know this person i go not for 30 years i have no idea why they're reaching out to me now yeah and i said you know I don't I said but and their basic message to me was don't enable said I don't you don't got to worry about me on that that's not me right but yeah so I'm you know I'm dealing with that right now from somebody who I knew 30 years ago and is in that situation and it's completely it's completely alcohol and drugs related right and so and the other thing that he said that that that pratt said he said they said well do you want ice in the city goes no i don't want ice in los angeles what no i don't want ice i don't want these massive vice presidents in at all in the city of los angeles and we don't have to have it if we cooperate with federal authorities

right it's like well right well no look the tom holman approach has been what look cooperate so that if you happen to have somebody that you detained locally that you know needs to be turned over to ice we can do that in a safe environment and it's safer for the agents it's safer for locals local citizens local officers and it's safer for the person being detained what is the problem and there is no big show but the democrats need the show they want the show and so that's where you have the no we're not doing that it's a very simple approach and and i really don't know where it's going to go this november because part of me thinks well man pricing is so heavy but if things remedy on pricing naturally with 150 days running out on the tariffs and the iran situation settling down

then the contrast think about this the contrast while it won't be returning to pricing from 2019 it will be a drop in pricing especially with gasoline that will be significant enough to be refreshing possibly refreshing enough i'm not saying it'll be you know again it's going to solve the pricing issue but by contrast to where we've been at four dollars and 39 cents a gallon well if it drops and then people are seeing that by the time we get to november guess what driving season is done for a while and that means demand is down so that could help the gop we are
