We are Red Eye Radio. He is Eric Harley, and I'm Gary McNamara. You know, the whole Graham Plattner campaign is so bizarre where it's actually humorous. I saw one of his campaign people the other day trying to say that the reason that people in Maine relate to Plattner is because, you know, we heard this before already. This isn't the first time, but I saw it again over the weekend. He's real. You know, real people, you know, put out posts like he has put out. Real people get Nazi tattoos and promote that they're a communist. Real people do sexting all the time. I mean, it's like anything he does has now made him genuinely an authentic person. he's a real person that real people don't that there are no real people out there that don't believe in communism nazism sexting while married uh i mean it's just you go through all the stuff that they've got out of some of the things that he has said about you know rape whatever i mean the excuses that are made it is really amazing to watch this in action

well it's i i want to know who these people are hanging around with i know well everybody i know's got a nazi tattoo

well no come on that just makes them real what you know what what what are you what are you talking about we have to look when rape happens at at what part you know and responsibility women holding that well you know my god and and democrats are accepting that well he's apologized for it i don't care he said it if you if you we've always said this when you say something incredibly radical and you run for political office and you change it we don't believe it no we don't believe it we don't because i've never said any of those things in my life ever I've never thought of those things. I would never say those things because I don't believe them. I believe you say things because you believe them.

Yes, especially if you're posting things, saying things out loud. This isn't like hidden tapes, hidden camera kind of things. These are things that were out there, were known. You know, it's not like, and it's also not like, let's say he said something on a, you know, secretly recorded video or audio recording. And he said something like, you know, well, the Nazis weren't all that bad. I'm just joking. I'm just joking. That was just a joke. It's, or he called somebody the next day and said, hey, you know, I said something last night. i meant it as a joke no it's when he ran for office that everything started turning around right oh well no he didn't mean that was so long ago well dude the the guy was born in 1984 i mean you know it's maybe that's in 1984 so you know here's here's the thing pretty much everything in his life was as far as i'm concerned not that long ago and for me yeah a baby yeah exactly i mean i was busy graduating high school and playing in a metal band and at 84 and well actually in starting my radio career in 84 um and all of this

Thank you.

You know, it goes back to this idea of, you know, oh, I want to run for office. There may be some stuff, by the way, in the past. Well, you know, people do things. What kind of stuff are you talking about? You know, a Nazi tattoo. We think we can make. No, think about the meetings. We think we can make that work. Think about the conversations. You know, and it's not like, you know, he posted like a dirty joke or something on social media at some point. I mean, you know, it's not like, you know, he said, you know, I'm Nickelback's number one fan. It's not like it's, you know, something that could be disqualifying. Well, that would be disqualifying. Liberals would probably go, OK, you're out. No, but if, you know, it's not something where it was, you know, him, I don't know, with his teenage buddies saying something stupid on a video or whatever, and it was sophomoric humor or whatever. no no no no no these are things that were part of his life that all of a sudden are being excused away only because he's running for office yeah exactly hey drivers eric harley here for cat scale you probably already know you can get guaranteed accurate weights when you weigh on a cat scale but did you know that you get those same guaranteed weights much faster when you use the Weigh My Truck app. Simply pay, weigh, and get back on the road.

You know, but when you see to the level it's been been taken, by the way, you've completely, though, destroyed any Democrat attempt to call Trump a Nazi again. oh yeah yeah or a fascist yeah because remember the whole nazi thing uh so much of that came from um oh what the the big lie uh you know the uh oh what was it in virginia was it virginia yeah the uh the um charlotte charlottesville yeah it was the whole charlottesville thing yeah and that was you know it it never had you take it in the context you can't even say but that was the thing about that they continue with that the the actor michael rapaport and and other a couple of other hollywood celebrities that's what changed them yeah they finally did some research and found the truth right we kept we kept hearing that trump's a nazi based on what he said and then we would the full context just like he didn't say that at all right in fact he went after yes and and so the democrats have made it sport to go after somebody who has never made a nazi-like statement right in fact when they make a statement going after nazis becomes the opposite for democrats and then when you have somebody who is a nazi comm you know nazi self-admitted communist yeah yeah it's like well boys will be boys yeah you know it makes him makes him real and i'm thinking to myself well you know what's real to me is i don't know people like me and you that have never had to delete no well except for grammatical errors and go back and correct the grammatical errors afterwards yeah i've never had to delete any post in my life i've been doing the sad lib you know for going on i forgot how long it's been it's been so long 36 37 years talk radio radio going on 44 45 years i've never ever had to retract one thing and i've been you know it's 50 you and i think it's around 50 000 hours

that i've been doing this which is an incredible amount of time oh at least yeah at least 50 for me i've been doing it since i was 18 to do unscripted media not even scripted unscripted media right and to me that's that's real that's regular you sit there and you know what you believe and when you don't have any outrageous or what we believe are any type of controversial beliefs at all because i don't believe any of my beliefs that i hold are controversial at all right and we've talked about that a lot in fact we spent some time in the last week saying what is the far right wing of the republican party right now what is a radical position that they hold right but if you're a conservative what's a radical position that you hold right there are none they're not like that where to me that's real yeah that's real i i know what i think i'm clear about my morality i understand what good character is those are the things that i want to promote and those are the things that i reach for i'm never going to get caught in a racial or misogynist uh you know a comment that is demeaning towards anyone because i don't believe in those things right so there's no chance i'm not scared of talking ad lib and going oh you know i might slip and say that someday right you know and and uh i really don't mean it that uh you know i really don't mean it because i believe in equality for all and that everybody is less of a human being than i am yeah but that's not technically racist right maybe narcissistic

well no that's what it comes down to just because you guys aren't as good as me right i that shouldn't be held against me and then the whole thing when they talk about you should try

harder right when they talk about hate i got that down i hate everybody right so therefore how can i be a bigot exactly right i want everybody out of my yard not just the kids i treat everybody equally don't anybody bother me damn it station managers getting a drink of water and they just hear that part of it i know what the heck is going on our station you know speaking Thinking about race, though, this is just a – it's been a topic out there for a few days now. And I saw in the Toronto Sun, Larry Elder, his comment in the Toronto Sun, Debbie Wasserman Schultz learns the cost of racial identity politics. This is such a beautiful story. Yeah. The former Democratic National Committee chair, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz. I haven't seen her face for a while. You know, it really hasn't been a – It hasn't – it's been a minute. faces attacks by fellow Democrats for seeking to represent a heavily black congressional district in Florida. Yeah. About this district, the Miami Herald wrote under the previous map, the population of the majority minority 20th district was 53 percent black and the newly drawn 20th district is 45 percent black. At least five black Democrats are vying for the seat. Wasserman Schultz's current district is approximately 43% Hispanic, 32% white, 15% black, and 5% Asian. The district has been redrawn and will likely be won by a Republican. So Wasserman announced her candidacy for the seat, formerly held by Representative Sheila McCormick, a black woman who resigned in scandal but is running to regain her seat. about Wasserman's candidacy, McCormick says. This is not the moment for forum shopping. This is not the moment to say this is easy, this is not. What matters in this moment is to make sure that all the strides we have made to make sure black representation is actually present matters. Another candidate wrote on X, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging in Florida. 20 a black opportunity district instead of running in her own debbie wasserman schultz is everything that's wrong with the democratic establishment uh the uh black the florida black legislative caucus slammed uh wasserman schultz are all saying no a white person can't run here well wasserman schultz does not believe she must be black to represent a district district in which the plurality of voters is black you created identity politics you were part of it yes it says i mean it's it's just so wonderful it really is we created judging people by groups

and not individuals and you don't think you're going to be held by that same standard by the

radical left that you created well no they they they do have that Thank you. sense of you know we're in control we're here to help and then they they scream you know white people are the problem and then say and we want to run look look what the party itself did they went three days over just going over their new dei rules and then at the end of all of that

they elected two white guys to lead the party remember that well and that's one of the problems because they're looking at the other go wasterman schultz is you're part of this black you're part of black you're part of the democrat establishment right and the democratic establishment you guys all said you believed on identity politics but here you don't of course and you and you didn't when you elected two white guys and you spent all this time on dei right no remember what you agreed to you're white you're privileged get out get out it's what you supported as a white woman that's exactly it get out that's exactly it you're like we don't know where this is coming from you created it you built it they didn't see where their their own

train was gonna go no they had no idea just send it off the tracks we did we knew it was from day one we knew it there was there was only one way this was gonna go only one way this was going to end and now they can't find anybody any viable candidates to run now their candidates are polling you know i mean and they're winning primaries and well in this primary they actually

There's five candidates. Right, but I mean, overall, the party... On a national scale, they can't.

Yeah, they can't find any real viable candidates to lead. They can't. They're having to defend a Nazi who... A guy with a Nazi tattoo whose own wife says he was sexting early in their marriage. And then Tallarico. And then Tallarico. you're having to defend all of these people who again in building the machine rebuilding

the machine now again here's the sad part they might win i was reading a uh a column from a democratic uh or excuse me a liberal columnist from the sacramento bee that said hey you know this is what you built voters these are the kinds of you know for governor looking at it and he basically said the republicans aren't going to win they can't win right you know hilton can't win in california right you know you think he can everybody's jumping he's not going to win but whoever's going to win on the democratic side is basically completely and totally unacceptable and failed and basically what we've said has you know has the same have the same radical beliefs that california doesn't want and what got california where they are all the bad policies they want to double down on as they criticize those same policies right and it's like but you the voter keeps putting the same person in over and over and over again and expecting a different which is you know the definition of insanity right in that definition of insanity keep doing things that don't work and expecting them to work and you keep doing them over and over and then eventually you come up with your insane opinions on the actual issues yep that's where we are we

Most owner-operators leased to larger carriers are paid on a per-mile basis or a percentage of revenue per load. The per-mile basis is most prevalent among larger fleets, percentage at smaller. Pay per mile tends to dominate discussions about pay just because it's easier to measure. And pay per mile often is wrongly used as the deciding factor in leasing to a carrier. While pay per mile can be a vital factor, it's not a cure for every ill. Nor does it mean a big settlement check is coming an owner-operator's way. Why? Because pay-per-mile always must be considered in balance with gross revenue as well as total costs. Gross revenue can include flat mileage pay, mileage pay that varies by length of haul, percentage revenue pay, and more. Most importantly, though, for every revenue dollar generated, only part of that dollar is profit. But for every extra dollar of cost saved, the entire dollar contributes to profit. Knowing and understanding your cost to operate is fundamental to understanding the true value of any pay package. Owner-Operator Business 101 is provided by Overdrive's Partners in Business program.

Red Eye Radio with Eric Carley and Gary McNamara.

We are Red Eye Radio. He's Eric Carley and I'm Gary McNamara. You know, the problem for Platner in Maine is so many people asked him in the last couple of weeks you know is there anything else out there and he said no let's play this audio cut here from a former ms now uh host and uh uh insane on the issues uh medi hassan here we go is there

other stuff out there that's going to come out now between now and november is there another chat forum we don't know about another tattoo we haven't seen no the uh everybody's seen all my

tattoos now and uh everybody's read all my internet comments and we released everything

are you sure yeah and and uh just i'm just going through x here megan mccain i haven't seen her in a while no if ted cruz had a nazi tattoo and was accused of doing everything graham plattner has done democrats would be crying literal tears on meet the press demanding his resignation and saying he was an install to our Constitution. That's true.

Yes, they literally would be crying. I know.

observing and analyzing the insanity eric harley and gary mcnamara nightly on red eye radio

and he is eric harley and i'm gary mcnamara welcome and good morning thanks so much for being here download our red eye radio app today and you can listen when you choose all right so here we go yeah uh a trans identifying biological male cyclist won two oregon women's mountain bike races in an uh eight day span including one by more than 36 minutes so a biological man beat biological women in a race by more than 36 minutes and you want to know why that is let me tell you okay all right it's because women don't try hard enough clearly they don't prepare and work out enough they don't focus they don't focus enough it's like i say to my wife do as you're told now no could you imagine could you imagine if by the way can you imagine if someone doesn't know our show and just turned us on right there and doesn't realize we're actually giving the arguments the liberals and democrats have given yeah well by why biological men should

compete against women now station managers are still sweating but here's the thing yeah it's well no i actually said that no yeah i said that before no he did um we're we're we're of course we're being silly um and and they're just being flat out stupid on the left i actually say that to my wife occasionally and it's a joke we both i mean we're both laughing really hard when i say you know do as you're told you should you should try harder you know things like that or i have spoken yeah exactly exactly and and you know or i'll say things like this is not a debate and so you know we we have fun with those we will actually have fun with those moments i mean we were both in tears laughing so hard because it's it's so absurd to your come out of it do as you're told um it's but that's clearly what happened with these female cyclists they didn't they didn't try hard enough you know ladies you've had your time you had your moment okay title my title nine was as was good as you know it was good for as long as it lasted it was okay but we all knew it was going to come down to this you got no place in sports we all know it you know it we know it and you've got no place in sports and why because the man says so because the man says do as you're told listen to me that's that's what the left is trying to say do as you're told

what were they saying think about what riley gains told told everybody in the story behind all of it you basically you better go along you better do as you're told right because the man has spoken what's wrong with you women that's what and and for you must admit you're the weaker sex for way too long well i don't even know if they have to admit it does it even require admitting not with the left it doesn't anymore by the way anybody know any good hotel stays lately well it's no here's the thing we all knew when we all knew when Gloria Steinem caved we said wow that was it and and we were just we were just amazed well no everybody knows that everybody knows we're just even if you're a first-time listener you probably understand we're being sarcastic because these are the arguments of the left we disagree with them completely you don't judge a human being as as weak or strong simply based on physical characteristics we don't judge women by their physical strength or men by the physical strength right it's by their character and as we have always said by the because we do this we're in this business by the strength of their argument and the consistency to be able to connect the dots yeah effectively right and be a critical thinker right uh and and so or in many other ways what you do you know what you do uh with your mind and there's a ton of different by the way a ton of different things athletically that differentiate you know uh uh you know men from women there are different ways that we measure physical strength as you know right uh people that are you know there are people good at basketball people good at football people good at hockey and in football the physical the capabilities of somebody who's an offensive lineman is different than a wide receiver right you know we can look at women gymnasts and what they do and go oh my oh you know now they're all teenagers i don't know any 40 year old women doing that or 40 year old men yeah but you know it's it's a it's a stupid dumb argument that the democrats have capitulated to completely sure i i showed you i showed you the uh the the weight competition that my my great niece was in yeah and the record that she set yeah and it's staggering it's staggering and i i think to myself you know there's there's no way i could do that but there's nothing here that you know i think it was what was it 420 pounds i have to go back and look but bailey is just like her dad if she's determined then it's i mean it's just it's

just her lineage it's in her blood she's gonna find a way and she's gonna get it done but and which is again great and wonderful she she dominates the dojo in her in her category and dominates with the males too in some cases uh especially where the great uncle eric but these but those are things you know that that don't matter that's not that's not what we're talking about when it comes to the left that doesn't matter to the left it doesn't matter that when you talk about overall men being stronger being faster and it's why we created title nine it's we wanted women to be able to compete with each other in a fair and safe way and the left wants nothing of that right and then they celebrate it you know it goes back to that that stupid article i'll never forget it and it was a picture of this person you know looking out a window through shears and she's pregnant and she also has a beard the first man to give birth no and no i That was, what, about over a decade ago? Oh, that was years ago. Where you and I saw it. We go, a man didn't give birth. That did not happen. Like the first man to give birth. Like it was the first man on the moon. Well, talk to any woman who's given birth and say, oh, well, yeah, men can do that too. Yeah, it was so disingenuous. But I think the one thing that really surprises me is the way that liberal feminism completely collapsed to the misogyny and sexism. of the radical transgender movement you just wonder what in their brain what in their brain they they found they they they found misogyny and sexism everywhere the liberal feminine

even where it wasn't you know for example when you look at at uh you know at a job uh at jobs and and job pay scale and everything else and when you actually look at the difference naturally that men and women choose in the jobs that they take yeah which is one of the reasons and men take way more i mean the percentage of dangerous jobs that pay more are you know are are men and most women are drawn to different things you know it's you know jordan peterson the clinical psychologist said that's just the reality of the sexes and the way that the the the brain is is made up the majority it's not that there won't be some women that don't decide to go to things that may be you know uh more male pursuits for example but when you look at overall and when you attempt to as as uh he has said in many other and by the way he says this is normally understood yeah as a clinical psychologist we this is nor you know the great it's not whether there's one person or two or a one percent or two percent that will move it's where the majority decide to go whether you decide because this was the whole point of when they said well let's let's you know uh you know demand and really convince women to go into these professions and they really don't right because they're sort of a natural thing to go in that way right and so they found sexism and misogyny everywhere even where it didn't it didn't exist not that it didn't exist to some level but it didn't exist to the level that they wanted and then they crumbled under absolute misogyny and sexism of the man telling them we're going to compete against you and you shouldn't be bothered by us exposing our genitals to you in the locker room get used to it well that's it it's forcing

the rules where they don't and should not apply yeah i mean it's just and you know you look at the um uh the many years in the hunt for osama bin laden the hunters and gatherers you know all the guys uh that that many times uh like to beat their chest based up based on like a lot of guys like to beat their own chest as to what they accomplished i mean i sit and look at my lawn that i just cut with a self-powered mower by the way all i have to do is walk behind it and i'll look at it for an hour thinking i'm great but all the males that were in the field that collected data and brought it back to the analysts and many of the analysts were female in fact one of the analysts her family didn't even know she was in the intel community she drove a minivan but they were just better at putting at analyzing seeing something and it could be and i don't know you'd have to go through the psychology of each and each and every individual in that case but they were just better at looking at it and not involving ego in what you know whatever was found they're just looking at it putting a puzzle together making something of it and next thing you know you know you've got a complete picture there are strengths and weaknesses all the way around but

this isn't what this is about you know i also saw very quickly that on on that note that when it comes to you know uh sports that women take losses much more personally than men in sports it hurts them deeper they want to win you know they can't they don't shake it off as as as easy right man i wish some men i knew had that yeah had that competitive spirit but uh yeah it's just it's amazing how it felt but i want to make sure i get this one in because this one this one get this in before the hour ends because this is just beautiful the cbs statement that they put out the other day on colbert yeah and this is because you go on social media and the left is going crazy oh byron allen he only had a third of the ratings well that's going to happen the first week you don't you don't you're not going to ever bring in the ratings but right the ratings weren't the point for cbs to begin with it's about the money it's about the money and they put this out there and it was like what a vicious it's not a vicious response it's a real world response that cbs put out we are proud to partner with byron allen on a new business and programming model for late night that was cost prohibitive to continue cbs said in a statement with this time by model so they're not lying they're not hiding it no with this time by they're buying the time we have shifted an hour that was losing roughly $40 million annually to $15 million in profit, a $55 million swing. I said that.

I said if Byron Allen only pays them a dollar for what they're putting on the air, that would be tens of millions of dollars in a swing.

Right.

It doesn't matter what you think they're...

The ratings, CBS doesn't care about the ratings. They don't care. It's about money. They care about the business. They care about the billing at the end of it. Yep. The end of the year. What are we doing? We're making $15 million a year. Mm-hmm. Okay. Is it the same show? No, we don't care if it's the same show.

We're not losing tens of millions.

Right. We're in the profit business. We're in the money-making business in the media. That's the way it works. This makes us money. It's a different model. Right. We make $15 million. We've got really no cost. They pay us the money. They sell their own show.

Right. By the way, it's why you see infomercials in the middle of the night. I don't know. You still play them. No, you're correct. That's the business model. Yep. We are Red Eye Radio.

Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley. It's Red Eye Radio.

We are on our radio. He's Eric Herney, and I'm Gary McNamara. I loved it how you went on social media and people on the left saying, what a vicious response CBS had to Colbert. Vicious. And all they did was point out the reality. Here's what happened. He's losing $40 million. Byron Allen's buying the time. We make $15 million. End of story. Difference, $55 million. That's why Colbert's gone. Yeah. Very simple. Because a lot of people are saying, it's not that funny. These comics aren't that funny. a lot of people thought byron allen was doing the comedy yeah right they were like he's not a funny guy why would he be doing it was hilarious the response is uh no he's not doing the show he's made a billion doing things like this right he's a billionaire right people don't know a lot of people don't know that right he's a billionaire so uh that's the difference right there and the fact that the leftist media is ignoring that shows that they're being disingenuous because anybody in the media knows how it works yeah yeah and as you and i said the fact that colbert was losing so much money and they still kept him around shocking to me is foreign to anybody who's in the media one of the reasons i talk about the media being cutthroat is because it's all about performance in the bottom line it's not because of your political agenda right It's, are you making a profit? You're not. Gone. Gone. Bye. And then it's like, CBS, they're denying me my freedom of speech. Well, it shows you how stupid you are. Right. Right. Freedom of speech has nothing to do with CBS. That's if the government punishes you or the government keeps you from talking. Yep. They're clueless all the way around.

Yep.

This is Red Eye Radio on Westwood One.
