Now, it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara and Eric Carley 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. I don't know about you, but yesterday reminded me, since I'm the old one here, April of 83, when the Beach Boys were scheduled to play the Independence Day Festival in D.C. And Reagan's Interior Secretary, James Watt, said, no, we don't need that kind of element here.

you know mike love being a hoodlum and whatnot with all that leather and devil worshiping

it's like we don't need we don't need the kind of element that they bring in and it was like the beach boys the beach boys they're practically gospel what are you talking about and reagan said no we welcome the beach boys yes well my gloves could be And so the Beach Boys ended up playing. And I know one of my own experiences, and this goes back to 1979, and Charlie Daniels was supposed to play, and he ended up playing.

Right.

Lancaster Speedway in Lancaster, New York. It's outside of Buffalo.

All right, yeah.

And there was a brouhaha from a couple of the city council members, I remember, that said, no, no, no. We don't need that kind of, you know, un-American artist here. Charlie Daniels.

We don't need those shenanigans.

Well, and we don't need that tomfoolery.

Well, I mean, one of his hit songs, In America. anti-american we don't need that lee greenwood with his anti-american whatnot and i remember

thinking at the time yeah because he had a he had a bunch of hits you know devon went down to george was popular at that point uh but all i could think of is this guy must have only heard uneasy rider yeah maybe yeah i was taking a trip out to la tooting along in my chevrolet

toking on a number and digging on the radio yeah oh we've all talked on a number mine was three

so oh he means joint yeah he means marijuana and that oh and that was by the way that's the beginning of charlie daniels first major hit in america which would have been early 73 yeah so by the way i didn't have to look that up yeah all right you know how i didn't have to look that up i remember well yeah yes i'm old but i remember the first time i heard it yeah and you're old no we were we were doing a uh we uh i played uh catholic youth organization cyo basketball that year okay and so that meant we had to participate in cyo activities yeah and so i remember we had a car wash it had it was like april or probably may of of uh of 73 april would be too cold yeah exactly right yeah because it was everybody you know washing the cars whatever yeah and yeah i was thinking that i go when was it april i go no it can't have been april had to have been may uh and um we'll get to that in just a moment here because because it does relate to me in the next 24 hours uh but uh so it might have been may it could have been it could have been june and i remember hearing that song when i got into my car and just going whoa who in the hell is this

because you really didn't sing that song right it was a charlie daniels rap yeah yeah oh yeah yeah

yeah it was kind of wild i reached out and kicked old green teeth right in the knee

yeah well the first time you hear something shocking you know on the radio like me with me It was Minnie Riperton. This is shockingly depressing. I need some Judas Priest in my life. Loving you. I don't even know if Judas Priest was a hit band yet.

Remember the first time you heard when her voice went up as high as it possibly could?

Yeah, I almost jumped out of the car. I was like four.

Dogs went crazy. No, that's it. Oh, by the way, speaking about the temperature. i'm going to i'm going to see my dad tomorrow afternoon but i'm back uh i'm i'm back like seven o'clock saturday night so right i'm flying in flying

out low is going to be in the 40s yeah yeah yeah which is weird because you told me that I think yesterday during the show during a break and I had had a dream that day that I looked at the forecast for for here for Texas and there was a cold front coming through and the overnight lows was going to be 37 this weekend here in the Dallas area and and I was freaking out and then you told me about the uh overnight lows there in buffalo coming up uh this weekend yeah i wouldn't mind a little free air conditioning but uh i was uh i was out in the heat yesterday doing the lawn in the middle of the day and uh it was uh well summer's here i mean we're we're not quite to 100 yet but uh i think it was already 90 by the time i got cleaned up and everything afterward i was driving around it was 95 in my neighborhood so the the the the

point is music wise five out of the seven have now have now pulled out after it was announced wednesday yeah i think it came out wednesday for uh the uh what is it america 250 is it that official name of the the actual yeah the concert series and then uh when i woke up i saw that martina mcbride had pulled out uh and and the thing is you know she says she's done many of them she's stating now morse day and the time said we have no idea why we're on the list we never we never even i don't even know what they're talking about and there was another artist too that just said people are calling me up screaming at me because i'm not a trump supporter we never signed up for this we don't even know how we got in and martina mcbride said they were told there was nothing political at all that was involved in it and then they found out yesterday you know when they saw everything that was uh was going on they found out that trump was involved in it and and she's claiming that you know he's making sure that donors get special spots and everything else and she said we were just told there were no politics involved this was just america 250 now the interesting thing is i haven't checked through social i'm assuming that trump's going to come out and blast them right now i think you know because the commodores pulled out uh millie vanilli pulled out now i did the good thing about all of this i found out because everybody's going millie vanilli the one guy's dead what about the other guy the other guy isn't in the band And they weren't even the ones that did the singing. Right, they didn't do the singing. And so it's two women that are Milli Vanilli now. And I don't know if it's the original singers or not. That I don't know.

Yeah, there was one guy, and it was like, I want to say three or four people that actually did the singing.

Oh, yeah, it was Rob and Fab.

Yeah, yeah. And one of them died by suicide. I forget which one. Yeah. Yeah.

And so you've got now five out of the seven that have pulled out. Now, it may end up that the only one that's going to be left is Vanilla Ice singing over and over again. And this may be appropriate. Ice, Ice, Baby.

Yeah. That actually could get a crowd going. Yeah. Yeah. They went to the same school as my kids.

Look, you know, I look at these things and, you know, the concerts like this. And what do I want to see? What do I want to see when it's around 4th of July and I'm Washington, D.C.? Sorry, I was raised in it. I've talked about my father was so freaked out with rock and roll that there were no rock and roll records allowed in the house. None. And the only albums that we had, the only albums were Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Strauss' Waltz, and John Philip Sousa marching band and military songs. So I got to love. I still get, if I hear an orchestra do Stars and Stripes Forever, I get goosebumps. And that comes straight from my childhood. Yeah. You know, because we're real young listening to that stuff. Now, I did have to explain later on to my father that the influence of listening to so much classical music got me early on into the Genesis long-form drug music prog rock. I used to kid him about that all the time. Dad, you know what you did? You got me into all this prog rock stuff now. All the heavy drug music.

Well, I don't, you know, I don't know how like a, you know. lists like this gets they put this together by the way rob palatis is is the one who died from millie vanilli the two guys that were basically the models and dancers in the video uh according to wiki he died from alcohol and drug overdose and there's no mention of suicide but uh there was talk of you know him wanting basically that that he was not in a good uh mindset at the time So a very tragic situation in that regard. But you get back to who's putting this concert together. Why would you, I mean, my thought is this. If you don't have artists scrambling to get on the list, you don't even start to put a concert like that together. Jack Osborne's been talking about everybody and how it all came together. for the final tribute to Ozzy, basically the final Ozzy and Sabbath concert. Came together and all the artists that were there, a few artists that couldn't make it. One artist, and they won't say who it is, that wanted to be paid. And they were basically covering travel and pay for the crew, but they weren't paying the artists. And that was agreed by all. And anyway, something like that, the point is, is that you have artists that are scrambling. i'll pay my own way i'll be there i'll be on stage i'll i'll do this if you don't have a situation where where the artists are already on board you know full stop and when the time you mentioned this this is how it works you you put out the feelers you get somebody who does this you get you get a concert promoter who does this who knows everybody and their management and you put out the feelers those who jump on board from day one there's there's the start of your list i mean i think it's given that uh you know elite greenwood and kid rock are going to be there right by the way the fact that vanilla ice and my kids went to the same school there's nothing in the school that actually pays tribute to them actually looking at it right right now

The only ones that haven't canceled, Vanilla Ice and Bret Michaels. Not Poison, but just Bret Michaels.

Right, yeah. Yeah, he's been doing solo stuff for years. And he's on Fox News a lot, and I don't know where he stands politically. I'm not sure. But I, you know, if you don't have a full and complete list, and it needs to be, I'd say what? A three- or four-hour show minimum. It doesn't need to be an all-day festival.

No, no, these are different nights.

I know, but what I'm saying is your lineup needs to be three- or four-hours a night. You're going to—

And it is. They have military bands that are also playing. There's probably—I saw the list. There's probably 25, 30 different patriotic bands that are playing.

Right, but if you're putting together something like this and you don't have major artists scrambling to get on that list, don't bother with them do the military bands yeah that's what i do the presentation do the flyovers right do the uh you said bring in some tanks that happened last year yeah uh you know uh a drone show not a military drone show although that would be cool to uh you know do one of those drone shows uh that you do um you know you can have a celebration that people would enjoy um or you could or you could have a brett and michaels concert i'm sorry look i i don't that

was a cheap shot i don't know i mean you've got a couple of the artists i don't know if they're lying or whatever that were on the list like more state said i and there was another artist too i don't remember can't remember who they are yeah they both said we were getting we said we never signed up for this we don't know why we're on the list right now did their agent do it did their promoter do it i don't didn't communicate with them i don't know that just seems strange that you have two artists that come out and say we never agreed to do this right well how do you get on the list then i mean that that to me makes no sense at all as to uh martina mcbride she was not you know specific I did see in one article that it was well we heard that it's you know this is basically being run by Trump and there was one artist I thought it was Martina McBride I'm doing this from memory that that said you know uh Trump is using this concert you know to bring in donors to have special VIP seats and that's not what this is supposed to be about

Because we were not told that. We were told it was strictly, you know, everything. There'd be no politicians on stage. There'd be, you know, everybody gets in and the emcee. There's no politics. It's all about, you know, the 250th birthday of the United States. And, you know, Martina McBride is a friend of Sean Hannity's. You know, his show.

No, she seems to be someone who's patriotic.

Yeah, I mean, that hit song is his song. And I think she's been on his show many times in the past. I know when he was with the company we were with, I believe she—

Let Freedom Ring.

Yeah, Let Freedom Ring, yeah. So I was thinking, and when she said, you know, no, I'll do it, but it's not going to be about politics. Everybody has—this has to be completely inclusive for everyone. and she said we were told it was and the new information says it's not well specifically what was that and i still don't know that except the one artist said that it was because you know it was you know we didn't know that trump was using this to reward you know donors you know republican donors by giving them special vip seats or whatever that's backstage to meet Yeah, I don't know whether that's true or not because there's been no official statement. You know, and if Martina, the other artists that I know that are completely anti-Trump and completely anti-Republican, I don't trust what they say. Martina McBride, though, is one you'd say, okay, why, what is it? Be specific with me. Tell me precisely what you were told.

If you don't have a lock on those artists before you even start talking about it, then you don't talk about it. You don't promote it. Move on and do something else. Well, she was in.

She admitted she was in.

I know, but what I mean is you've got to have a roster. You've got to have a full roster, otherwise you don't have a show.

Well, that's what they put out yesterday or two days ago was the full roster. That's what caused all this.

Which they clearly didn't have. That's my whole point. Right.

On social media, they didn't have. They didn't. That's my whole point. Two of them said two of them. It was two out of the seven.

That's what I mean by locked in. Right.

But I was specifically talking about Martina and McBride.

When you start this thing, you get a concert promoter to lock those people in, and they're on board. They're contracted in. And they are. It's a contract, whether they get paid or not. It's a contract to perform. And if you don't have them locked in, don't talk about it. Move on. Do something else. We are Red Eye

Radio, brought to you by Hotshot Secret. Hi, I'm Jen Loomis, a transport safety expert at J.J. Keller. Compliance Safety Accountability is the FMCSA Safety Compliance and Enforcement Program. Its goal is to hold motor carriers and drivers accountable for highway safety. CSA does this by assessing the safety performance of motor carriers and drivers, motor carriers are assigned a score. The carrier is then grouped with other carriers who have had a similar number of safety events. Carrier scores within the group are then ranked. Low scores are better, so carriers with the highest scores are those that are most likely to be targeted for intervention by the FMCSA. Interventions range in severity and may include warning letters, roadside, off-site, or on-site inspections, civil penalties, or operation out-of-service orders. This tip was brought to you by J.J. Keller & Associates. Visit us at jjkeller.com. Coming up, more with Gary

McNamara and Eric Harley. It's Red Eye Radio.

we are right on radio uh he's our carly and i'm gary mcnamara well this story really blew up

yesterday no what happened i mean when i as i watched it i thought oh my god he's having a

stroke jill biden with the new book and then the interview that uh that uh she did and even democrats are coming out we didn't spend a lot of time on it this week we just said look she's lying and then we moved on yeah uh i don't believe it for a second yeah we'll we'll cover a few of the things that were said in it yesterday because the story blew up yesterday that the democrats

are furious over this yeah that's it we wanted to focus on other things you're bringing all this back that was one of the one of the complaints they had yesterday well and it was funny because

other Democrats were telling Republicans, why do you keep going back to this? Because she brought it up. She didn't bring it up. She did.

So if you want to know how the day went yesterday, I'm reading this headline from the Babylon Bee. And it's actually quite accurate, accurate about some of the critics of what, you know, Jill Biden said. Here's the headline from the Babylon Bee. Jill Biden explains she thought Joe had a stroke during the debate, which is why she left him up there to die. And you said, you know, that's a cruel headline. That's actually what people were saying yesterday. When I saw that, I go, that's really not an example.

If she actually thought he was having a stroke, you stop everything and save – to do everything to save your husband's life, right?

And then afterwards, you know, and this is part of reading this, former Biden aides don't believe Jill Biden. They're angry after the ex-First Lady's debate comments. Alex Thompson, the Axios reporter who co-wrote Original Sin. You and I just always get a kick. Yeah. out of uh uh that with uh with uh jake tapper uh the book was released last year and delved into the uh former president joe biden's cognitive decline scandal said he's been flooded with reactions from members of biden's orbit after jill biden began speaking out about her husband's struggles to speak coherently at the cnn debate against the former vice or against the former president against then former president donald trump she told cbs news she thought her husband was having a stroke or might have been drugged according to the atlantic ahead of the release of her forthcoming book well a lot of democrats including several biden aides that i've talked to since yesterday when the interview came out just simply don't believe her in fact some are saying she's gaslighting here wow Thompson pointed out how Jill Biden appeared alongside her husband at a post-debate rally and that's how the Babylon Bee came up with their headline and seemed to act as that as if everything was okay the following day carrying on with other campaign events and a lot of former aides you know have told me if you really believed he might be having a stroke, then it's not necessarily the same behavior that you would do. There's no evidence that there was any significant medical exam afterwards, Thompson said, before acknowledging she suggested her husband take a cognitive exam, but was overruled by his advisors per The Atlantic. He continued, and you know, a lot of Democrats think that this is simply unhelpful to come out with this at this moment and try to rewrite this portion of history. I have to say that there is significant skepticism.

that she is trying to rewrite the narrative right now. Well, she's not going to be successful at it. What I think is interesting is she's doing these interviews that everybody on the left and right know is a lie, and she's hoping that Democrats will buy the book because they want to be BS'd more.

Yeah.

Seriously. Republicans aren't going to buy the book. Right. It's going to be Democrats. And so she knows she's lying. You and I said it. We didn't spend much time. We go, come on. She's lying. We all know it. And then this thing just blew up the last couple of days, and it's Friday.

we got to clear the desk but it's in and again you know at the basis of it all is uh either somebody who's lying or a wife that doesn't care yeah it's one of those two right yeah plain and simple by you can't say well she cares but she thought the debate was more important yeah that's that's that's uh that's that's that's a viable answer uh-huh thank thank you for continuing

what we've always done here which is all right what are the only choices the only the only two options the only two options is right she's lying or she's completely uncaring about her

husband right one or the other and i don't know i don't know which is which you would have to ask her because it's one of those two i believe she's lying if i were a betting man and i am i'd put a dollar on that bet she's lying of course but i'm not going to rule out that she

doesn't care about her husband it happens we're looking at the only two options but i i can't tell you if she's lying why is she lying because everyone knows i saw chris coons on with martha mccallum and he was you know he was uh uh doing the thing well you know trump falls asleep in in a meeting she goes what are you talking about he does 30 to what takes probably 30 to 100 questions a day yeah you know he's all over the place and right then he just yeah yeah but he won't answer the question that's not the point but he wouldn't let her yeah chris coons would not let her finish the sentence right and she's the interviewer i would have told him will you please shut up i let you talk let me talk yeah exactly and she didn't do that but i i would have done it yeah and she and so he was trying he didn't want to hear her answer because he was trying to make the moral equivalency that there's no difference between what biden was or what biden is and was back then and donald trump because nobody buys the donald trump is is is he you know is he 80 you know may he may might he forget some things i forget things you forget things i've been forgetting things all my life but it's it's whether you can't it's whether you cannot have a any type of consistency with your cognitive abilities you know to complete a sentence or talk about a paragraph or relate an idea and biden couldn't do that and it was just it just

happened to be he was at his worst here's here's the case here's the case i'll make for jill biden not caring about her husband because that wasn't the only night or time or moment in front of a camera and i'm certainly away from the camera that he displayed some cognitive issues and quite frankly i know my wife i love her very much and she likes me a lot i'm one of her favorite people she tells me all the time tolerate it's tolerate she loves me enough and i love her enough to know that if i started to see that especially if i were in the public eye i know what you're saying you're in radio yeah we're not the public eye we're on the radio it's it's different but if i were at that level and i were constantly on the world stage and something were wrong with me my wife would step in and there would be no one who could stop her right so there's the case we're not caring but i can't tell you that because i can't read into joe biden's heart but we know what the options are though there are two options there and those are the only two options she's lying or she doesn't care about her husband

now i want to play this because it shows you how those in the leftist media don't realize what they've said before they don't realize the internet exists when it comes to joe biden listen to abby phillips here on cnn listen to this here all right uh we're gonna play what she said here in the last 36 hours

and what she said in the middle of June of 2024. Okay. Okay, here we go.

The autopsy that the Democrats did didn't delve into that, but it should. What kind of political system covers that up and makes it okay to lie to people about what everybody knows is true?

Okay, that was just in the last 36 hours, all right? Here we go. Let's go. she's just you know what type of political system allows this to happen right here we go all right

june 17th 2024 abby phillips member choice is between two old men we know that but tonight i want to talk about the joe biden that republicans want you to see and the pipeline of videos that aren't telling the full truth now those videos are probably right now clogging the public consciousness as americans start to think about their votes and this is going to be really tough and tricky for voters to sort through because some of these videos you i mean if you're a regular person you probably cannot even do the digging that would be required to sort through what is being chopped up what is being deceptively characterized all of that that's right and it's

only june you're talking about whether the president's defecating in public but imagine we're going to be by october uh you know the white house president used the phrase cheap fakes the idea of cheap fakes let me explain what that is to people we've been worried for years about AI deepfakes, that computer-generated images are going to trick people into believing something that's totally false. Cheapfakes are a little bit simpler. They're cheap. They're just distorted, out-of-context videos, chopped up in certain ways, constructed in certain ways. That's what we're seeing. That's what the Biden administration, the Biden campaign is so worried about right now. But make no mistake, they are worried about this. This is a real problem. This is not some made-up fiction. The videos are oftentimes made up, but the problem is real because some of us, Abby, watch a 40 minute speech by Biden. We see the full context. Other people only watch a five second clip. And that's going to be something that's going to, I suspect, follow Biden for

the rest of this campaign. I mean, look, Biden, as we pointed out, it's not a secret. He is an older man. He has actually moments that are pretty awkward in public. Why chop them up and make them

into something that they're not she was part of what she had just said was the political system that covers it up yeah because as we know that was all bs about the deep fakes that ended up being mocked yep seliza lost seliza okay stelter lost excuse me he even lost i don't want to say he lost credibility he never had any credibility but he lost credibility even with democrats yeah no

No, no, absolutely. No, it's, you know.

It was Ryan Stelter, formerly of CNN.

It really is the, if you think about it, it's in the same line of the Jake Tapper book. It's the same spirit. Well, the day after the election, we went straight to writing the book about it. The day after the election. Yeah, you waited all that time. You could have written the book. You had information. It didn't all come to you the morning of the day after the election. No, they constantly, they carry the water for the left. They do all of this. They're part of the, I don't know, I don't like the words cover-up because it really wasn't a cover-up. We could all see it when it came to the cognitive issues with Joe Biden. And by the way, for those of us, many of us, who deal with family members who have cognitive issues, serious cognitive issues, it is a shame that their family members don't step in.

I said formerly of CNN. He was formerly, then he came back again. Oh, that's right. He did. He came back. Yeah. Just want to make sure Brian Stultz talked about him. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Because I know how protective, I'm going to see my dad, I know how protective the entire family is of him. Yes. And we would never allow what the Biden family allowed with Joe Biden. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. And I tend to agree, I can't read her mind, but either scenario is plausible. Either she's completely lying. Or she doesn't care. Or she really never cared about her husband. It's one or the other. It's one of the two. We are Red Eye Radio.

Then I would agree to be part of it. He goes, Also concerns have been raised concerning the safety of my fans, band, crew, family, and myself. including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.

Well, is it listed on the list? The what? Is it listed on the list? Do they break it up to a Flo-Rida? Yes. They do? Yeah. Flo-Rida. Yeah. All right. It's like M&M. You know, candy thing. Peanut or plain, doesn't matter.

I got to check True Social to see if Trump has commented on it.

Yeah, about the concert? Yeah. Well, Bret Michaels is where you draw the line from. I mean, if we're not going to have Bret Michaels, why even have it? Why even have the 250-year celebration if we're not going to have it?

Well, if it's not poison and you can't get CeCe DeVille, you know? CeCe's not in there. I mean, it's, well, and I got to play with Brett.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

I'm just such a great guitarist and I got all the chicks.

Right.

Um, well, I'm not sure that's true, but he is a great guitarist. By the way, I'm not a poison fan at all.

Yeah.

I did years ago. A friend of mine was visiting.

Yeah.

This goes back. Wow. Almost 26 years ago. and and she was coming into town for business right and she had heard about the concert she goes let's go to the

concert i went no i'm not gonna go see poison yeah and she said come on go and i went no i think it was poison docking and cinderella okay and i was no i i don't want and i went and you know poison didn't impress me at all i mean it was uh cinderella how did how did i always wondered how did they ever how did they ever fit the hairband kind of thing well because if you go to back to

their song their hit songs and their videos you'll see and it was really big hair okay yeah yeah yeah

well but i mean the style that i saw yeah from tom tom keifer he was more it was more goth grunge

uh yeah i don't know more of a uh just a straight rock and and blues influence yeah uh he's a very

good artist i saw i i saw influences to me i'm like like i just mentioned those artists the cult also was like it was it was really interesting i'm like he doesn't fit in here yeah and yeah but But, yeah, so I had to admit that I saw Poison once. They didn't impress me.

Yeah.

I was like, okay.

Yeah.

Every rose has a thorn.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, some things you do for money, I guess. And I don't want to, again. Or some things you do just because you're a horrible songwriter. I don't know.

Again, I'm probably going to get hate mail. You don't like Poison? No. But arguing music is the dumbest thing because people like what they like.

Well, you know, they sold tens and tens of albums. So I don't. No, they sold a lot of records. They sold a ton of records. They made it. They did their thing. And apparently there's still an audience.

You don't always impress me about Bret Michaels, though, was the amount of partying he did being a type 1 diabetic

and then had to stop.

You're alive, dude?

Wow. Yeah. No, because that's an extremely sensitive situation, yeah. So, yeah, I don't know. It's, you know, like you said, music is, you know, there's, what do they say, there's no accounting for taste? Yeah. Well, all right. It is, again, you know, when you look at this whole concert thing, i i don't know that you need the concert you know if you have lee greenwood singing god bless the usa right and you have military bands and you have flyovers you have fireworks and a big celebration i you know i don't know that you need the music if you look if you could get the music that'd be one thing if this were the obama administration taylor swift would probably be headlining but it's not and we all know what's going on i mean if they're getting threats they're getting threats because they're perceived to be somebody who supports trump and then you know that's going to you're counted out at that point and there's no fixing it there is no well i'm going to do it anyway i mean kid rock will do it and he he's not afraid to do it um but there is a great concern he's not on the right you know he'll but he'll go out and support trump he doesn't care he's talked about he goes i'm not really political one way or the other i just believe in certain things you know ideas and and so he's not you know these aren't artists that that are going to and and there is a real situation when your crew says i'm not doing that if your crew doesn't isn't

going to be on board you're not going to have a show yeah i i don't see anything from untrue

social about it at all yeah yeah so they may change it you know they may decide okay we're just going to have the military bands if the artists don't feel safe or they want to you know or if trump wants to go after them they want to chicken out or whatever it is then we just won't have the concert the concerts won't be the problem you know they not having a concert won't be a

problem have your nightly events and i think there's admission to the state fair so yeah right as they're calling it the the state yeah freedom 250 state fair right supposed to be representing all you know the states so right uh so there it said buy tickets so i went to the website corn dogs and funnel cakes let's go you know i don't need brett michaels when you have a this is in fact my grandmother's dying words if you have corn dogs and funnel cakes you don't need

brett michaels funniest thing is and these all coming from most most republican conservatives who read this went well except for martina mcbride who the hell cares yeah and then right it was like I did not find many Republican conservatives that were impressed with the lineup.

Well, you know, that's it. You want to, that's why you want to put the feelers out early on, get a concert promoter on board and then tell them, but, but here's the thing. You do have to tell them what it's going to be and what it's not going to be. And if it turns out that it's evolving into something else, you should expect cancer. You should expect cancellations anyway, because it's the nature of the beast. There are going to be artists that are out there that, you know, okay, well, so-and-so, the bass player's not feeling well, so we're going to cancel. I'm just joking. Nobody cancels because they don't have a bass player. But, you know, if the singer is, you know, under the weather or they have a conflict or something, you'll expect cancellations. It's kind of factored in. So you build a big roster and lock everybody in with contracts and go from there. But I just don't, it's just that to me isn't the draw of the celebration of 250 years of liberty.

No, it's just not. Yeah, it's not. No. For me, it wouldn't be, for me, it wouldn't be either. Now, let's talk about the other concert. Yeah. Tom Morello. Yeah. from Rage for the Machine has another festival coming up right before the midterm election in early October.

Oh.

He's bringing with him Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, all right, the Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Jack Black, the Dropkick Murphys. Man, they are so insanely liberal. Yeah. uh uh and it's let me just read it to you and uh it's not just about the music portions of the proceeds will go towards vote riders a non-partisan organization working to expand voter access across the country you know what they do vote riders uh you know what they raise money for get rid of all voter id uh and so they go non-partisan i will say in later updates they took them out of there because they were getting blasted on social media saying non-partisan in a way though when you think about it it is non-partisan but it isn't uh it is it is non-partisan the the the concert because only those rock stars and a very few people believe that there shouldn't be voter id the vast majority landslide numbers of american citizens including democrats minorities everybody across the board believes in voter id federal office disagree with the landslide numbers of the their own democrats in their own party so i guess that would be the partisanship yeah okay you know uh in it yeah but it's but i was laughing yes i go wait a minute maybe non-partisan because nobody is with them because so it says uh the portions will go uh the vote riders a non-partisan organization which they are not the power of the people festival is about freedom justice equality and rock and roll morello said in a statement it's about the power of everyday human beings uh have when they come together through music art community and action we are honored to bring this incredible lineup to the dc area for a day that celebrates the spirit of activism creativity and hope if you look look at this here i have it on my look at it on my phone there yeah doesn't it look like it's being put on by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union? No, it absolutely does. No, it does. The poster looks like it's, I swear to God. No, it's, that's, did Vladimir Putin draw that? I know. It's really amazing. And the comments on social media just, and oh, and I loved it. Rage against the machine. You're the machine. And by the way.

They all believe in the machine. In terms of how he described it and what it's all about, rock and roll.

was third that tells you everything right there oh yeah and we'll play some music too but and oh the comments on you know for god's sakes if you're going to try to sell the people on common nazism as we call it now commie nazism you know at least use the american flag in it somewhere yeah don't have the poster look like it was put on by the poster was created uh by

stalin's uh personal uh poster artist well but you know but here's the thing the american flag is controversial yeah it's divisive i saw this in an article man i wish i would have saved that it was an article just yesterday or day before well the american flag has become divisive and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and certain businesses won't put the American flag up. And, you know, divisive how? We're America. It's the United States. It's our country's flag. How dare you put it on display? But, no, they're not going to do that. They're going to look as commie as they can, raging for the machine. Yep. That is a very, very good bit.

And by the way, I've been saying this since I first heard of Rage Against the Machine. You know, in the 90s, when they really came to popularity, I went. And when you understood Tom Arello and Zack D. LaRocca and where they come from, it's like, well, they're Marxists. Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, what do you mean? They are the machine. Yes. Because Marxism believes in an authoritarian government. Right. It's what it is. Yep. It's about people not owning property. Yep. You know, the whole Marxism, the whole communism thing is you don't get to own any property. The government controls everything. And I said from the very beginning, they're not revolutionary. Revolutionary is being a conservative and believing in private property ownership and free enterprise. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it's about. You know, that's the opposite of that. You know, that's to me, that's revolutionary in today's society. the basic tenets of our society which is about people being able to be free to do the things that they want in business and their personal life that's not the machine the machine is what bruce springsteen is promoting the machine the authoritarian government is what tom morello with rage for the machine is all about yeah they're not about individual rights no they're not about free markets they're not a you know it's like well we we want to stop freedom when it comes to business you can have freedom everywhere else in your personal life but in your business activity when it comes to money and things like that when it comes to you being able to acquire wealth so you can choose where you go in life yeah well on fiscal things well no no no no no no no no no the machine needs to control all the money yes no yeah it's uh you know something

like that look they've got a lineup of you know top communist rock and roll names commonazis

with the acceptance commonazis rock i like that commie rock it's great i was telling you that

K-C-O-M, we're all commie rock all the time.

We were looking at a headline in a trade magazine that was saying that alternative music needs to get back to pre-nirvana. Okay, maybe commie Nazi. Exactly.

Yeah.

you're listening to red eye radio from the relief factor studios

along with eric harley download our red eye radio app today and you can listen when and where you choose i'm just getting a kick i'm just sitting here going through uh a threat on x yeah from uh from matt walsh from the daily wire and it was based on the story just the fox news story the other day let me just make sure i get it uh according to new survey 75 percent of americans say restaurants should offer some kind of adults only dining experience to avoid unruly kids and then the headline is no one wants a romantic dinner ruined by a screaming child at the next table then he writes well if you don't want to be around kids at a restaurant then fork over the money and go to a nice upscale place yeah there's not many kids uh there and then it gets to somebody posted and this was out there yesterday it wasn't just him well they should allow to bring their dogs instead of kids because dogs yeah hey right yeah children are members of society and should be allowed to participate in it dogs are not members of our society at all they are dogs quit taking your dog everywhere keep your dog at home or take him to a dog park yeah it's insane that we are constantly having this conversation about whether kids should be allowed in restaurants meanwhile people bring their dogs everywhere we now live in a society where dogs are more welcome in public than human children it's psychotic

no seriously they're everywhere yeah i understand if you're walking into petco and people are walking their dogs said okay that's fine i you know i get it they might be there for grooming or the vet or whatever or just shopping because you know when i had a dog my dog loved to shop my dog had lots of money and loved to shop but people take their dogs everywhere now

that some guy writes my dog is cleaner and more well behaved than lots of children no it's not your dog smells eats its own poop and barks your dog has no fundamental right to participate in society at all children do you know my patience for other people's dogs is zero if i'm inconvenient

are disrupted by someone's dog for even one second it's unacceptable your dog should just never be my problem but children are human beings they are the next generation we need them to exist well you know and then you go through the thread it's dog lovers versus human lovers oh there you go no that yeah no you knew that was going to be the war that was going to be the war on that thread that was going to be the war and and by the way it is true if you want a romantic dinner then go to an upscale restaurant like for instance we would take our kids to mcdonald's but not chili's and but it started i was just i wanted to see where where another thread went that that he wrote about and this applies to me all right and you'll agree with this all right and he writes as i get older i will never understand adults who are embarrassed about their age why are you sad and embarrassed that you've existed for a while why is it rude for someone to ask you how old you are why would you want people to think you're in your 20s if you're really in your 30s or 40s or 50s well my case easy i trying to date a younger woman uh it it should be the other way age and experience should be a point of pride if anything the glorification of youth and the desire to stay in that state however is the most retarded feature of the modern world uh we used to revere our elders now we revere 23 year old 23 year olds no we don't uh but uh because why exactly they don't know anything and haven't done anything it's insane no and my proof is nobody wants a young president yeah all right yeah nobody wants a young even the young people don't want a young president well no because you know what it is for a lot of them it's the chris rock thing that you mentioned yesterday that years ago that he said about the obamas i see them as my mom and dad they want a mommy and daddy in the white house for me i i don't mind someone who's been around for a minute because they have experience now sometimes that experience means diddly and squat but young people i can see them that's you know the chris rock effect that's true i want my mommy that my mommy and daddy yeah so uh you know matt you're wrong on that case because as as eric just uh said uh young people depend on the old people to survive that's right because they don't they don't want to work like we did that's right they don't want to work it's like people reading that article from matt were probably like mom did you rig this he just seems to you know you know i look it's a uh it's a survey that's done for

discussion uh but nobody's going to be banning kids from restaurants no they're not they're not as much as we as much as we can bribe the hosts of the restaurant to right to delay them being seated look it just it it happens you have to expect it like the casual dining yeah i mentioned chilies they're like right now they're crushing it they're i'm doing very well um and you go in it's going to be families and if you have to know that and then there are upscale restaurants you know olive garden or something no but there are upscale if you were going to do for gosh sakes you live in dallas yeah i know move up a couple of levels will you please okay well then uh applebee's we you know the thing is fine if you're gonna spend you're gonna spend all my money hold it wait hooters i saw they're going to rebrand as a family restaurant okay again we want to get back to where we were it just turns out that the entire family has only daughters but the the thing it's like the seinfeld episode where where uh elaine went in and applied for the job at monks because and i don't know why but that was the only time where it seemed like a completely different ownership on that restaurant but it was the guy and and she accused him of only hiring women with large breasts they were all his daughters well you know it turns out true story my wife loves the chicken at at hooters she does and you know i asked her one time i said well you know i don't know the whole server thing with the she goes oh that's mundane have you seen what what other girls wear in public compared to the Hooters.

servers that's nothing and and it's like you know i mean because it was that gradual thing you know it used to be well oh they're scantily clad actually they have more clothes on than a

lot of women walking around in public you know and i've i've got it i've got to say this near me there's there's a there's a bar and where i live it was completely desolate when i moved in 20 years ago right right i mean we had no traffic signals right yeah okay and they started you know putting up retail establishments and now uh within a within probably three quarters of a mile of me right around the corner you know it's because it's a long corner uh there's two bars yeah and the the uh the and and a real nice place the the one the one real real nice place beautiful spotless the the owner is a john taffer fan i met him i hardly ever go there i mean i just don't go out i just don't go out much but i couldn't go in there because i i just i went in there one time and every single bartender and server basically are wearing and it's thongs yeah yeah no i'm not kidding you i'm not getting thongs and i'm like it's a it's a it's a corner bar yeah no and i'm just like no no and again aesthetically speaking uh they uh the the the women that i have seen are just and again it's very it's a very objective thing or subjective whatever uh aesthetically may not be pleasing to the eye yeah there may be some look i lived on the beach i lived on the beach for for almost three years right and the majority of human bodies are ugly yeah i know i've witnessed it the majority of men and women in fact i've been the advocate of not for uh women being able to go topless on beaches i'm for men putting their shirts back on yeah i'm i'm on board with that and that's what happens i keep my shirt on right that's what happens when you live on the beach yeah and you know again uh that comes from experience so not the most aesthetically there there could be better there could be more aesthetically pleasing human beings that might be able to get away with wearing that attire in a very risque environment but it's not it's a basically it's a it's it's a corner place where just you just go to have a drink and something

good to eat yeah right and i'm just like not needed no no it's it's that's a turnoff yeah

it's a it's a turnoff man put some clothes on right and it's and the place is not it doesn't have a name like you know it's not like you know twin peaks where you know it's twin peaks well is this a mountain kind of place am i gonna go in here yeah like it's like so is this about that

weird tv show nope

but no uh to uh to uh matt uh none of us here are embarrassed about our age no i know i love the fact that i'm 60 or whatever i am it's none of my business but no i love the

fact when i when i turned 60 i was like now it's on because i look at it as um earned years you know uh the the good the bad the ugly whatever everything in between and and i look at this long and it seems you know because if you break up your life you know your childhood and then your you know your teen years into your young adult years and then you get into the midlife thing and then you get past the midlife thing and those are all different segments of your life that almost seem like different lives all together you know what I mean when you think back it's like wow man that was because society was different because your experience was different maybe you lived in a different place whatever it is and i i look at those different phases of my life and i'm grateful you know i lost i lost my brother last month and my brother had a really long uh you know he was he would have been 65 in august and he right out of high school and graduated at Del Rio High, 79, and then boom, joined the Marines. And then, you know, he started and did all of these things throughout his life, then served later in the National Guard. He did all of these things and had all of these experiences that he chose. He was never.

married he didn't have children and he told me one time he goes you know this is this is my preference he goes being responsible for others is a very big responsibility and and and i i believe that maybe i'd be up to it maybe one day but but really i i want to do these things and uh if i have a responsibility for others then that would be you know a a something that that might uh kind of you know change everything for me and so for him he wanted to do those things in his life and he did them all very well by the book he was a by the book guy he was a great soldier in the national guard he was a great marine and and i think of those phases of his life which you know helps me to cope with his death and i think about you know my life i look back at my life and i I haven't accomplished some of the things he did, but I really enjoy being at this age. I don't complain about it at all.

And I'm not embarrassed or ashamed at all that I'm a number of weeks older than you.

Yeah. How many weeks would that be? 10 years? 52 weeks? 500 and something? Over 500 weeks older. But you can measure it in weeks.

I did get that question the other day from somebody who's younger that said, well, do you wish you were younger? No. And, you know, because they're interested that I'm 70 and still working.

Yeah.

And they were, like, amazed by that. Yeah. And I said, I'm so happy. I wouldn't change anything in my life, but I wouldn't want to go back. I'm happiest right now. Right. That's how I look at it. Yeah. I don't spend much time thinking about it, though. Right. Exactly. I really don't. Right. We are Run-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'm still waiting for Republicans to go after Plattner on the whole thing that, you know, implying that all major league sports should be government owned. Yeah. Because a private equity should be out of it. If billionaires shouldn't own sports teams, who should? Right. And I just I want somebody to do it. Now, I will say that Plattner got burned even by Susan Collins. And you saw where he said, you know, she sent me to war. Yeah. Right. To Iraq because she voted for it. she goes i voted you you went voluntarily afterwards right i didn't send you to anything you chose to do it and then you chose to work for the private for what is it blackwater yeah you these are all choices that you made what are you blaming me me for and then he tried to come back and say oh no now you're insulting the service of people and she wasn't no you should see because it was his his senate site you didn't see anybody defending him no he was getting blasted for that just blasted what a loser
