Untangling your headphones, finding the right remote, saying goodbye to your favorite shirt that hasn't fit in 10 years. Why are simple things sometimes so complicated? Thankfully, with auto owners, insurance doesn't have to be one of them. Auto owners works with independent agents who live in your community and answer when you call, so you can worry about more important things, like finding a new favorite shirt. That's simple human sense.

Ask Behrman Insurance Agency in Navarre if auto owners make sense for you.

Now, it's Red Eye Radio, with 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. For Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, here is Dan Mandis.

And good morning, good evening, and indeed, Dan Mandis here. We're filling in for Gary and Eric via phone number 866-90-RED-EYE, 866-907-3339. I host a morning show in Nashville, Tennessee, Supertalk 99.7 WTN. You can follow me on the socials at Dan Manda Show. There is a lot to talk about. You know, usually when you come back from a three-day holiday weekend, there's not a lot of things to discuss. But there is a lot to talk about. Later on in the show, we are going to compare and contrast Donald Trump's speech. It was an epic speech. And listen, I know that there are some people not big fans of Donald Trump that listen to Red Eye Radio, others big fans of Donald Trump. I have my problems with the president. By and large, I'm a big supporter of what he is doing. I thought that his Fourth of July speech was really good. But what we're going to do later on in the program, we are going to compare and contrast President Trump's speech on the 4th of July with New York Mayor Mamdani and his speech celebrating, if that's what you want to call it, the 4th of July. So we have that. There was a lot of violence against police officers over the last couple of days. We'll talk about that as well. Just a lot to get to here on Red Eye Radio. The phone number remains again, 866-90-RED-EYE. Your phone calls always welcome. One of the more interesting stories, though, is that Donald Trump has saved America's chances in the World Cup. Now, I'm just going to tell you, I'm not a soccer fan. I'm not a FIFA fan. I've not been keeping up with the World Cup. As a matter of fact, I've actually been keeping up with Taylor Swift's wedding just a tad more than the World Cup, which is literally not at all. But here's the amazing thing. Donald Trump has now stepped in to save America's chances in the World Cup. This is actually a really interesting story. So if you're not into soccer, which again, I'm not, I'm going to explain this the absolute best that I can. One of Team USA's star players was suspended for half a game and an entirety of the next game because the referees, in a very controversial decision, decided that our star player had committed what I would say is a flagrant foul in basketball or unnecessary roughness in football. That is what the red card stands for in soccer. Now, American fans lost their ever-loving minds because I can tell you that the Team USA player, he was trying to go for the ball and he didn't really do anything intentional. I know nothing about soccer, but I do know how to play soccer.

And I can tell you, as a guy who has played soccer and I watched the video, both these players are going for the ball and the American player basically accidentally stepped on the ankle of the opposing player. Now, the referees said that it was red card worthy. Which not only they ejected him again from the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also suspended him for Team USA's next game as well. And I'm here to tell you,

it was an incredibly bad call. What? Fans outraged. The worst red card there ever was. Others pointing to the GOAT, Lionel Messi, making a similar foul earlier in the tournament, walking away with a slap on the wrist. No matter what, Balogun will have to sit out Monday's big game against Belgium.

Yeah, I like how they say no matter what. Well, nobody actually thought that Donald Trump would be picking up the phone. Well, it's a major break for the U.S. men's.

national team. Its top scorer, Fuller and Balogun, is back in the lineup for tomorrow's World Cup showdown with Belgium. FIFA has reversed his one game ban and President Trump might have helped make it happen. Madison Scarpino has the latest on this. Madison. Hi, John. Yeah, we are just

learning in the last hour that President Trump actually called the FIFA president, according to sources asking them to review Balogun's suspension. And people are losing their ever-loving minds.

They've got people all across the world because, as you know, soccer is really popular in other nations. It's popular here as well. But here's the thing, is that people are now saying that The United States should never be allowed to host the World Cup ever again because our American president. Basically, the accusation is that he interfered with the tournament. But if this call was as epically bad of a call, as people are saying, then to be honest with you, why shouldn't President Trump get involved? I mean, honestly, I went through the Obama years when, of course, he was apologizing across the world for America. Then you had Joe Biden, who basically did the same thing and allowed America to ultimately devolve into an illegal immigration nightmare. It's nice to have a president who was actually sticking up for America. And so now you have Clay Travis, who is saying that, yes, President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and others put together a team of elite lawyers from outside our government to challenge this red card. specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card now that is called video assistant referee in the world of soccer and so apparently our lawyers were arguing that using the slow motion instant replay violated fifa rules now trump apparently called the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino. FIFA is again president to let him know that, yeah, you know what? Gianni, the appeal has been filed saying that the red card penalty was excessive. And by the way, if you watch any soccer, which I don't, but I've seen plenty of clips of people that watch soccer and they're saying that in real time. Actually, I think Clay Travis is going to say this in this upcoming clip in real time, the video assistant referee, the the referees, the real referees in real time down on the field, they did not call this this red card. It was only when it went up to the video assistant referee and they watched it in slow motion that they decided to give the red card. And so Trump and our apparently our attorneys, well, they said that the red card penalty was excessive.

FIFA's independent committee review agreed that it was excessive and incorrectly given. And yes, indeed, they actually rescinded the red card in real time.

It's clear that it's accidental. The player that was stepped on was able to finish the game. It's not as if we had a significant penalty for the other side here either. I believe, based on conversations that I have had, that President Trump talked to Gianni Infante, the head of FIFA, who has had a great relationship with, said, as many sports fans did, hey, this red card was unjustified. This was way too draconian of a punishment relative to what occurred. and FIFA went back and looked at their rule book. And one of the things about FIFA is their rule book basically allows them to do anything. And under FIFA rule 27, and I'm reading, they have the ability to suspension of implementation of disciplinary measures. That is the authority under which this red card has been lifted.

Now, from what I understand, this has happened before where FIFA has stepped in and said, OK, you know what, this call was not a good call and we are going to reverse either this red card or whatever it is. But, you know, the reaction of people is going to be way over the top as it always is. And so for Team USA. I guess Monday. So later on today, they do have a game against, is it Belgium? I think it's Belgium. I might be wrong on that. Whatever. Anyway, so this is a very big deal, though, in the world of soccer. And here's the funny thing. So many people, you know, FIFA should be happy because there are so many Americans who simply don't care about FIFA, the World Cup, soccer, so on and so forth. But you know what the thing is? This has brought a lot of attention to the World Cup, which is, of course, being hosted here in America. And I don't know about you, even though I'm not watching the games or the matches or whatever you call them, what I have really enjoyed, what I have really enjoyed, and I'm sure that Gary and Eric have said this before, I've really enjoyed watching people appreciate what America is all about coming up. Maybe I'll try to do it in the in the next segment. But people in from across the world coming to America, they have been incredibly amazed at how great our country is. I mean, we had the guys from Scotland singing the national anthem. We have I've got terrific audio that came out. There's a guy from Germany who has spent the last, you know, several weeks here in America. This guy is dry, heaving, crying, his shoulders up, down. He is crying because he has to go back to Germany. You have all of these people from Europe and all of these other places that are saying America is incredible. Oh, my gosh, the, you know, Wawa, the gas stations and, you know, Bucky's and all of these fast food restaurants and air conditioning. And they're talking about how great America is and how sad is it that we have all of these people. And I don't know how many people have come from other countries into America to watch the World Cup. To be honest with you, friends, it could be a few hundred, which I doubt. It could be several thousand. It could be thousands. I don't know. Because I don't really care about FIFA or the World Cup. But what I do care about is America's greatness.

And how incredible is it and how incredibly sad is it that we have all of these people coming in from the UK and Europe and Scotland and all of these different places. acknowledging and appreciating what America is all about and what America has to offer. And yet here in America, we have thousands, millions of people that simply do not agree. Why do I say that? Well, obviously, because of the rise of socialism, duh. We've got Mamdani in New York, who gives an absolutely horrifying July 4th speech. We have socialists across America who are being voted into office. And I would love to sit here and say, well, it's only a few socialists. But I want you to think about this. Those socialists that have been voted into, for example, the House of Representatives or wherever. You know, it could be state state government as well, state legislatures as well. But you've got these socialists that are being voted into office and the American people are voting them into office. And so, yeah, socialism is on the rise. Now, do I think that our way of life here in America is in danger? What I find interesting is this, the Democrat Party. They are now acquiescing to the socialists. You do have people within the Democrat Party like Elizabeth Warren and crying Cory Booker, Spartacus. Who are saying, oh, yeah, sure. Democrat Party, big tent. Let's even bring in the socialists. In other words, what they're doing is they're basically saying, you know what? Let's go ahead and do the opposite of what has made America so incredibly great. Let's do the opposite of capitalism. Let's do the opposite of what America stands for. Let's do the opposite of what all of these people who have come into our country.

and spoken about how great, in glowing terms, what America is all about. The Democrats, they want to do the exact opposite of everything that has made America great. And everyone knows that America is great, at least amongst the civilized world. All these Europeans coming into America, talking about how great we are. acknowledging our freedoms acknowledging how amazing our way of life is and our culture is at least now and the democrats as a party they want to do the exact opposite and all you have to do is look at the difference between donald trump's speech and Mamdani's speech. And we'll do that and a lot of other things on this evening's version of Red Eye Radio. My name is Dan Mandeson for Gary and Eric. Your phone call is always welcome. It is 866-90-RED-EYE, 866-907-3339. We'll return next on Red Eye Radio.

I'll go ahead and do my segment as we compare and contrast the July 4th speeches of Mayor Mamdani out there in New York and President Donald Trump. it's really interesting the things i look at it it politics kind of like sport you know what i'm talking about like i i like sports but i i really enjoy politics and when donald trump trash talks and and he really shoves the truth in the haters faces just to watch them respond i love that for example, Donald Trump posting this. Over 273 Americans have been shot since the war in Iran began in Chicago. I mean, people are losing their minds. And you know what? If they want to lose their minds over the truth, then here's the deal. The truth hurts. Speaking of which, I think I've got time to play this uh chuck todd apparently did not like donald trump's speech that i'm going to be talking about uh coming up here after the next break but chuck todd apparently didn't like

donald trump's speech so angry and feel betrayed i do i feel betrayed as an american by him on this constitution is not perfect but it gives us a way to keep going it gives us structure for disagreement it gives us a method for repair it gives us the possibility of becoming better without pretending we were always good it makes some of the same promises that some religious

texts do for people and this is why i'm so pissed off now during this um and i'm going to repost this on my social uh follow me at dan manda show but if you if you watch the video he's sort of like bobbing up and down like like he's so angry that he just he can't seem to calm down it's like his legs are shaking up and down he's so angry not because i love the country less but because

i love the idea of america enough to resent seeing it cheapened by this man america deserved better at $2.50. Someday, I believe, it will get better. Let's sit in your hands. There you go, Chuck Todd. All right.

We have had some incredible scenes across the country with fireworks and all kinds of scenes of really appreciating everything that America stands for. Donald Trump had a great speech, of course, in Washington, D.C. last night. He was also at Mount Rushmore as well. I want to play some highlights from what Donald Trump said the night of the fourth talking about America.

This country is the home of freedom. This is the land of liberty. And this is a flag that's the banner of the most extraordinary, most exceptional, most incredible nation ever to exist on the face of the earth. And we're doing better now than we've ever done before. No people have done more good, shown more courage, made more progress, righted more injustice, or achieved more greatness than you, the American people. For 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world. all over the world. They try and be like us. Nobody can be like us. And with God's help, we will always be this or even better. We're going to be better.

That is Donald Trump and the president, of course, talking about you and I, all of us collectively, the American people. And clearly he is right. Even in this country, at a time where we do have these communists all over the country that are getting elected, the president is remaining hopeful.

Here on our National Mall, we're celebrating freedom's triumph over tyranny, liberty's conquest over oppression, and the enduring victory of the American spirit from the July 4th, 1776, to July 4th, 2026, big dates. That's big dates, two big ones. And tonight our country is stronger, freer, richer, safer and prouder than ever before.

And I love what the president had to say, again, showing appreciation. And really, the thing that I took away from the president's speech was that he was hopeful. And he was understanding of what America not only means across the country, but across the world as well. two people that voted for him. You know, there's a story out there and I'll get into some of the details here in a little bit. But the headline is Joe Biden's illegal immigration, where we had, of course, as you know, friends, open borders for four years. That led to a 30 percent rise in home prices for we, the American people. So as Donald Trump is talking about not only the greatness of America, but the greatness of American citizens. The other side. Well, they favor illegal immigration. They favor tearing down America. They favor insulting America. They like to do everything they can to want to change America. And I think.

It it almost seems like obviously one of the big differences between the two political parties, the big question that you would need to ask yourself. Are you proud of America? I, for one, am. It would seem like an obvious yes, but as recent polling has shown, no, you've got a lot of Democrats who are not proud to be Americans. They're not proud of America, the nation that they live in, the nation that protects their freedoms, including their freedom of speech, where they run down the president and our country at every turn. I mean, this is what these socialists are running on. You've got a hatred of everything that America stands for. They hate capitalism. They hate the military. They hate police. They hate law and order. They hate legal immigration. They celebrate and want more illegal immigration. They hate our freedoms. Our freedom of speech. They certainly hate the Second Amendment. I don't think I'm spreading fake news. And it's again, as I said in the opening, it's not just the candidates themselves. It is those that vote for them and advocate for them as well. Now, remember, just last week, Harry Enten on CNN. Among Republicans, 93 percent are

extremely or very proud. Just one, a single one, say they have little to no pride in being an American. But look over at the Democratic side. This is where we've seen this extremely or very number. It's been taking a tumble at 27 percent, which is way different than the 93. You do the quick math with me here. What is that? That's a 66 point difference here in terms of extremely or But look at this. The little or no proud to be an American actually among Democrats eclipses is greater than the extremely or very proud number. So we are just living in such a different

universe. Now, he's throwing a lot of numbers out there. So I'm going to repeat them. How proud are you to be an American? If you are conservative, if you are a Republican, 93 percent. Say very or extremely proud to be an American. Only 27% of Democrats are extremely proud to be an American. Little or no, only 1% of Americans are not proud to be American. 36% say they have zero pride in being Americans. On the other side. Anybody shocked by that? So more of the Democrat Party say they have zero pride in being an American than say they are very proud of being an American. Thirty six to twenty seven percent. Shameful. You know, one of the things that you have to look at when you see numbers like that, Democrats not proud to be Americans. And by the way, this is part of the greatness of America. You are allowed not to be proud to be an American. Knock yourselves out, Democrats. Knock yourselves out, socialists. Knock yourself out, Mayor Mamdani. Mayor Zoran Mamdani out of New York. When you compare and contrast Donald Trump's speech with the leader of the Democrats, the leader of the socialist Democrats or the communists, whatever you want to call them, what a difference. I just played you some select audio bites from Donald Trump's speech. Incredibly proud to be an American. Mayor Zoran Mamdani out of New York. He trashed America. And he ought to be ashamed. Listen.

The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom. Where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit. How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal. At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics and the cheapest.

So I love how Mamdani is talking about the evils of being divisive, right? He's talking about. the evils of being divisive. As he is engaged in an absolutely incendiary speech, it's just awful. It's like I want to shove a bottle rocket down his throat to keep him from saying anymore. But this is America and he's allowed to say what he wants. But claiming that if you want legal immigration and controlled immigration and a country wanting to protect its sovereignty, that you're being divisive and trying to simply enrich ourselves, well, that's what Mamdani's stance is. And by the way, you don't have to be, as he's castigating the rich and powerful, you don't have to be rich and powerful to want our borders secure and keep crime off the streets. I mean, it's the rich and powerful, I suppose, from many years ago that wanted immigration in the first place, that America was supposed to be welcoming to all who wanted to take advantage of the many opportunities here in America that our freedoms granted. But you know what? I don't want people coming into our country and taking advantage of our laws, taking advantage of our generosity. And I love how Mamdani, a socialist, is blasting the powerful as he strong armed the state of New York into essentially paying off his city's debt. More on that later. But it's abundantly clear that Mamdani hates America and he wants to change America. And by the way, the audacity of him sitting at George Washington's desk as he attacks America is horrifying.

As we mark 250 years, what do we see? We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. We see massed agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans.

OK, so a few things that that one line. Where he says we see a country where children go to bed hungry while its first trillionaire hungers for more. Can somebody please show me a child in this country that is hungry due to our nation's politics? Due to our nation's millionaires and billionaires? Can anybody actually point me to a child that if the family cannot afford to eat, that there aren't plenty of food banks and government benefits to provide the safety nets for kids to be able to eat? Mamdani is lying. I almost called him a lying a-hole, but that's an insult to a-holes. It's nothing but platitudes. Kids don't go hungry in this country. They just simply don't. Unless the parents don't know where to get the resources or refuse to go get the resources for the kids. but kids legal or illegal they don't go hungry in this country i don't care how conservative the state i don't care who's in office or who controls congress kids don't go hungry in this country And, yeah, Elon Musk is rich and he's made many other people richer as well. Elon Musk has employed thousands of people over the years and he does incredible work as well. So Mimdani is just being hateful and trying to spread hatred. And he's trying to trying to spread division, the same kind of hatred and the same kind of division where earlier in his speech. he is saying the republicans and conservatives are guilty of 866 90 red eye 866 90 733 39

It's Red Eye Radio, 866-90-RED-EYE. Paul Pelosi is back in the news. So, you know, Paul Pelosi is the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Well, apparently he was in Napa County, California, otherwise known as wine country. And apparently he hit a parked car with his Porsche and he left the scene and he kept driving until his Porsche became disabled. The incident comes about four years after Paul Pelosi's DOI conviction stemming from a separate crash in the same area. I said it at the time. I'll say it again. If Nancy Pelosi were my wife, I would be heavily drinking as well. Got a lot more straight ahead.

Now, it's Red Eye Radio, with 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, for Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, here is Dan Mandis.

866-90-REDIY is the phone number, 866-90-733-39. I'm in for Gary and Eric this week. Follow me on the socials at Dan Mandis Show. I host a morning show in Nashville, Tennessee on Supertalk 99.7 WTN. That is 6 to 10 Eastern, 5 to 9 Central. and we air our radio show, obviously, on the radio. We stream everywhere. You can also watch the radio show in progress on Facebook and also YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, and at the website 997WTN.com, also on Rumble. By the way, I forgot to mention, but if you can't call but you want to text in to Red Eye Radio, I have now activated.

my text line which i use for my morning show in nashville 615-737-9986 615-737-9986 if you want to text in comments to the show you can do so at that number 615-737-9986 there is a video you know when the weather gets really hot things start going crazy we saw Really high temperatures, of course, over the 4th of July weekend. One video went viral quickly. You can find it on my socials at Dan Mandishow. A mob of teens. Attacked a female police officer in North Charleston, South Carolina. It is a 30 second video, but it really does tell you all you need to know about these types of and I'm going to air quote this. These teen takeovers. You've got this massive amount of teenagers and they're just they're running wild. And, you know, you listen to talk radio and you're on the Internet and you're on the socials. You know how these things go. You've got massive amounts of teenagers. It can be anywhere from a couple dozen to hundreds of teenagers. They all show up in one place and there's a lot of violence. There's a lot of vandalism. Fights break out. It is just awful. And so in this particular video, that did indeed go viral millions of views. A lone white female police officer is being attacked by a bunch of young black teenagers. And realize when I say teenagers, they could be younger than 18. They could be 18. They could be 19, early 20s, whatever. But now, luckily, I believe she's going to be OK. because backup comes very quickly. But this cop, she's on her back and she is in a headlock while multiple people attack her. One girl is actually hitting her with a Roman candle, which is some kind of a firework. And it's just insanity. And again, these types of events, they're called teen takeovers. But it seems to me like these are becoming a lot worse than simply teen takeovers. You know, reading comments, some people are calling this anarchy, whatever. I, of course, doing what I do, I look up the actual definition of anarchy and it's defined as a lack of order where there is no effective authority or control leading to disorder, confusion or lawlessness. OK, whatever. I mean, eventually the cops do show up, but, you know, when more officers arrived, they were able to get at least some semblance of control.

But there's a couple of bigger issues here as this white female police officer is being attacked and bludgeoned by a bunch of these teenagers or young adults. Some are saying that this officer was bested by this group of teenagers. And I'm, again, putting that in air quotes, including the one that had her in a headlock. You know, she could have been disarmed. In other words, this could have been even worse. And I guess part of my question would be, if you're a police officer and things are going south really quick, dude's got you in a headlock. Should she have pulled out her gun before she got into a headlock, before she was put into a headlock? By some guy who has her in a headlock while others are beating the living daylights out of this police officer. And listen, I don't mean to. Blame the victim, I don't mean to I don't know, I don't want to sound sexist because I'm all for female police officers. But I think that our law enforcement, they're so afraid these days of pulling their weapon in a situation like this, that they're putting themselves in their own peril. If she's getting attacked and she's a police officer, you need to pull out your baton. You need to pull out your stun gun. You need to pull out your actual gun so that you can protect yourself. That's what you need to do. And unfortunately, these days, police officers are afraid to do that. And so this this police officer, she. Could have been disarmed and she herself could have been shot with her own gun. And I'm sorry, but if there is a bunch of evildoers around you. And they're attacking you and your life is, in my opinion, clearly in danger. And you're being beaten up by a Roman candle, which, from what I understand, they're like hard plastic at her. You've got a group of at least three or four people descend on this law enforcement officer ganging up on her. And I would never again in a million years say that females should not be law enforcement officers. But I would say that she should have pulled her baton. She should have tased these morons. And if her training called for it, pull out her gun. Because she's literally being beaten and on the ground in a headlock before other cops, other officers arrive. You can see the video on my social media at Dan Manda Show. Follow me, please. On X.

So these large groups of teenagers beatings, beating up on this woman. This police officer is horrifying to watch, and this is all part of what we're seeing in these. And I'm again air quoting teen takeovers where they're running rampant. They're vandalizing cars and buildings and now they're getting into fights and now they're attacking police officers. This really is becoming an epidemic problem. And the bigger issue is that you see these videos and nothing ever comes of these attacks and the arrests. Because the soft on crime judges, they just let these teenagers and these young adults go so they could do it again. And it escalates and it escalates. One guy commented on my post. You know what he said? And he said, you can thank President Lyndon Johnson and the Democrats for the breakup of the black family starting in the 1960s that have not slowed yet. This, he says, is the result with generational, comfortable poverty. Well, if you want to go down into that kind of a discussion, we can. Because, you know, it's my contention that these teenagers and these young adults. Well, they don't have adults in their lives that actually care. Their parents, by and large, don't care. I mean, let me ask you this question. You think that attacking a police officer is the first thing that these degenerates have done? No. They are slowly but surely becoming hardcore criminals because they have not had to suffer any legal or sociological or parental consequences to this bad behavior. Now, you have or had have government programs that do or did penalize two parent households. If you, for example, had a single mom in the house, then they get a mountain of assistance. You add a father into the mix and those benefits are reduced. Well, where do you think a lot of these young adult males and these teenagers get the discussion about listening to authority and understanding authority? Typically, that's from a father. Well, if there's no father in the house because the government decided that if a father was in the house, then that household would not get as many benefits. Well, that does encourage single parent households. And the father's out. It encourages single parent households.

And whether we're talking about, you know, typically and this is this is an argument that has been ongoing for a long time. Why would you want two parents in the home if your government benefits are going to be reduced? So out goes the father. And those fatherless households, anybody will tell you, leads to all the chaos that we're seeing today, because it is a father, typically, that will teach a young man about a respect for authority. The other thing is, more importantly these days, two incomes in a home. That that is the bigger issue these days. You've got a mom and a dad both working. So those two incomes end up lowering what you get from the government. So, you know, why work if you can get the welfare and assistance for free? So as far as this is, this guy was saying this generational, comfortable poverty, OK, meaning people are just, you know, they're comfortable with being impoverished. But here's what I would say. I don't care how little money you have, you know, right from wrong. And can somebody please tell me how attacking a cop is going to solve that poverty issue? It's not. And I will tell you, do you know what the biggest motivator for me was in my entire life? I'm 58. My entire life, the biggest motivating factor in my life? Being in poverty, being impoverished. I've been so in debt in my life. When I got kicked out of my house at the age of 18, I had about three, four hundred bucks to my name. I had to work multiple jobs in order to survive. I literally ate Top Ramen for weeks on end. And that motivated me. I worked every holiday. I worked seven days a week. At one point in my life, I've had five part time jobs. unfortunately there's a certain segment in our society mainly the ones that are out there attacking police officers on the fourth of july that are not motivated by poverty they'd rather instead of working go out and attack police officers at least that's what the video would tell me you know what they're not doing they're not out there working so i don't care about about your parental status. I don't care about how impoverished you are. I just don't care. You know, we can have these really deep philosophical discussions that all sound, you know, very important and academic. But you know what I would say? The time for excuses is over. If they can't stop attacking police officers

and innocent people if they can't stop vandalizing cars and vandalizing businesses and taking over christian-based festivals like we saw in i think it was in kansas city a couple of weeks ago they have this annual festival and it's it's like a christian family festival and for i guess the second or third year in a row it was taken over and destroyed by one of these you know, teen takeovers. If they can't respect authority and if they can't respect the rights of other people, I don't care your skin color. I don't care how much money you have or don't have. I don't care about the number of parents that you grew up with. I don't care how much is invested in the school district that you go to. If you even go to school. You deserve to be locked up. I think that America is losing its patience with these kinds of behaviors. Unfortunately, that only extends to one side of the aisle. That really only extends to one political party, and that would be the Republicans. The Democrats, they're all for this stuff. I'd like to see any Democrat come out outside of John Fetterman. I'd like any Democrat to post a video of that police officer getting beaten up. And condemn it. Will they? No, no, they won't. And that is incredibly sad. Danny is in Missouri. And, Danny, thanks for calling Red Eye Radio, 866-90-RED-EYE, 866-907-3339. Danny, go ahead.

Hey, first-time caller ever to Red Eye Radio. But I wanted to give you kudos for declaring yourself a conservative. And that can be dangerous these days. But, you know, much of what you've said has just gotten me thinking. Trayvon Martin, I don't remember the guy's last name, but Ferguson, Missouri, Michael.

Michael Brown.

Yeah. And when the media posted a picture of Trayvon Martin, they posted a picture of when he was 10 years old.

Oh, I remember that.

Right, and they talk about him being a child. But what people don't seem to understand is that part of it is nutrition. Part of it may be steroids. I'm not into conspiracy theories. But people are developing faster at a younger age and getting stronger. so what we used to call 50 years ago a child

is basically the equivalent of an adult from 70 years ago. And when Zimmerman took the actions he did, I think he was totally justified. The female officer, she should have pulled her weapon, pointed it at their ankles, And if they continue to advance, you know, when you are going up against multiple.

Yep, you're right. When you're going up against Danny, I appreciate the call. I'm up against a heartbreak. But you're right. When you're going up against multiple people and they want to kill you, you need to defend yourself. Got a lot more straight ahead.

This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by Howl's Products. Tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920.

Another forecasted decrease in U.S. hop production for this past season. Yet as Lance Honig of USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service points out,

It's down just fractionally from the actual acreage last season.

Specifically for the combined reporting from the three major hop-producing states, all from the Pacific Northwest.

Acres strong for harvest are forecast at 41,642 acres. We get pretty precise on that since it's a relatively small area crop. However, because it is technically a little bit below last year, that means it'll be our fifth consecutive year of declining acreage.

After that crop reached its peak production in 2021 at the height of craft beer popularity.

It's the fewest acreage since 2014. Certainly doesn't imply that it's a small acreage. We really saw a big run up going into 2021. It seems as though maybe that acreage has settled back to this maybe new level.

I'm Rod Bain reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C.

This report brought to you by Cenex Fuels and Luz.

Lines open for your calls. 866-90-RED-EYE on Red Eye Radio.

It's Red Eye Radio, 866-90-RED-EYE. OK, real quickly, World Cup. This is a German talking about how much he loves America. He's actually crying at the thought of going back home to Germany.

I fall in love with this country and this was so emotional. I even cried in the stadium. It's a huge departure from what he was expecting before traveling to follow the German soccer team in its World Cup run. To be honest, I was a bit scared or had a fear to travel to the United States. news about shootings and criminals and that the country is not safe.

Well, it depends on, I suppose, where you are. But you know what? We've been hearing that a lot. Where they the the media coverage of America across the world is apparently so negative that they were afraid to come to America. Here's the deal. You know, the reality is, you know, places like Chicago, places like New York and Philadelphia, there is a lot of crime. But by and large, America, a great place to live, a great place to visit, and a horrible place to leave because people want to stay.

and um if anyone that does not like america we should give them a free ticket out just like people that want to get out of la or new york like the movie well and and charlie i very much

appreciate the call and you bring up a great point and it is one of those points that we who live in America, love America, and watch all of the America hating that is out there. It is astonishing to me the number of people that do hate America. And again, I appreciate the call. I want to talk a little bit about what is going on and what has been going on in Washington, D.C., because because I think that there's a lot to discuss, not only with what Donald Trump said about America during what I would say his great speech, a very good pro-America speech, but also what also happened in Washington, D.C. I got to tell you that the more that you you watch and somebody brought up earlier what the media is has been covering in Washington, D.C. And I want to I want to expand upon that a little bit, because, you know, part of what the American people respond to often is what the media reports. There is a photo. And if you want to follow me on the socials at Dan Manda show, there is a photo. And some are calling it the defining image of America. And it is a photo. Of a bunch of white nationalists surrounding a black woman. And again, this is in Washington, D.C. She's on what looks like a bus and she is indeed, apparently, it looks to me like she is on a bus and she is surrounded by, again, a bunch of white nationalists. And this is a story the media has been desperately trying to push where this group of white nationalists went to Washington, D.C. to march on the July 4th event. They're calling this an iconic image. And it is this image of a woman. Find it on my socials at Dan Mandishow. But you've got the woman surrounded by dozens of these white nationalists. And the New York Post describes the story this way, because, again, remember, the media is desperately trying to sell this story of the Patriot Front. Maybe you've heard of them. Maybe you haven't. I'll explain in a little bit. But they say that hundreds of members of the Patriot Front wore masks and khakis and sunglasses and hats to the Capitol. Some of them paraded around upside down American flags. Others carried Confederate flags as they marched through Washington, D.C. So the Patriot Front, if you don't know who they are, they are described as a white nationalist organizations organization. They say some New York Post back to the New York Post.

Some were seen in videos chanting slogans such as life, liberty, victory and reclaim America. Again, this group, Patriot Front, they've been described as one of the leading white supremacist groups in the country. With 200 members. That's how many members, according to the New York Post, Patriot Front has. Can I ask a question? Like, it's late and I'm not necessarily typically up on the radio at this time doing radio. So I may be a little light on the caffeine, but we are a country of like 350 million people. And the Patriot Front has 200 members. And they're one of the leading white supremacist white supremacist groups in the country. I mean, that. That doesn't seem like a lot, does it? All of 200 members. OK. They say apparently there were like 400 of these white nationalists in Washington, D.C. Now. Here's the thing.

Do you know what we didn't see? This black woman in this defining image of America. Black woman surrounded by a bunch of white supremacists. Do you know what we didn't see? We didn't see this woman raped or murdered or harassed or stabbed in the neck or beaten. That's what we didn't see. So what we have here is a bunch of guys who have views that I would disagree with. But here's the thing. Is that. You have an organization that is simply pro-American values, pro-law and order, ending immigration, which I disagree with, and ending support for Israel, which I also disagree with and so on. And so I'm not defending this group. Others are, by the way. I'm not. I'm not defending them at all. But my point is that we here in America have every right to say what we want in this country. Up to a point, obviously, you can't threaten people. But, you know, this woman made it off the bus. which is more than we can say for Irina Zarutska who did not make it off the bus as a matter of fact I would be willing to bet that if that woman on this bus was stabbed in the neck by another person or was under attack by another person on this bus I'd be willing to bet that those white nationalists would stand up to that perpetrator and protect that black woman. Do you know why? Because one of their things is law and order. And again, I'm not defending white nationalists. I am just, though, stating a fact. Will the media talk about that? that Irina Zyruska did not make it off of her bus, but this woman did. And Zyruska was on a train. I understand that. So Dana Bash over at CNN had Doug Bergamon, you know, the interior secretary. She is asking, I'm going to play this audio for you. She is asking if he would press Donald Trump to condemn these white nationalists coming to Washington, D.C.

As Interior Secretary, will you recommend to the president that he condemn this group and what they were trying to message, what they did try to message here in Washington?

Well, there have been, Dana, part of my response to that is that there are protests on the mall that people say things that I think are irreprehensible about President Trump, and yet they're allowed to go on because of free speech in our country. And so this is a something, but you've seen President Trump. I was with him in North Dakota. I was with him in Mount Rushmore.

This is white nationalism. It's, as you said, a part of America's history that still has pockets. But the fact that they were here in Washington on such an important day, I do want to move on.

But I do think, again, I mean, there are people that are saying death to Israel and death to America. I mean, this is part of free speech in America. They can say it. We can object to it. But it is it is something that comes with free speech in America.

I think Dana Bash desperately wanted to move on because she realized that she sounded like an idiot. Because he's got a point. You are free in America, thanks to the freedom of speech to say whatever lord forsaken thing you want to say. and as far as i can tell these guys didn't break any laws i don't think they threatened anybody again this woman made it off the bus okay i'm not defending them i'm not saying that i relate to white supremacists i don't know this group from madam what i do know is that i myself have actually been called a white supremacist I'm not, but I'm a conservative talk show host, and so I'm thrown into that bucket. But you know what I would ask Dana Bash? I would ask as she is, you know, breathlessly asking Doug Burgum whether or not Donald Trump will condemn the white supremacists. And it's almost like, oh, Lord, are we going to do this again? Remember when when Donald Trump was asked like. Like, I mean, it was like dozens and dozens of times. Will you condemn white supremacism? And Donald Trump is like, I've been condemning white supremacism. How many times do I have to do this? We need to do this again. Is that we're going to do? I would ask again, Dana Bash, if she will condemn this story. The Department of Homeland Security has now confirmed that a semi truck driver has been charged with the killing of a Pennsylvania state. trooper, a guy by the name of Michael Perea Jr. That truck driver was a Haitian illegal alien who flew into this country under Joe Biden's mass parole program in 2024. He also got his CDL in the sanctuary state of Massachusetts. So, Dana Bash, why don't you get the governor of Massachusetts on, Maura Healy, and ask if she condemns the senseless death of this Pennsylvania state trooper? How about you ask the mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu, if she condemns the senseless death of this Pennsylvania state trooper? Maybe Elizabeth Warren or Ed Markey, the two senators from the state of Massachusetts. Will they condemn the death of this law enforcement officer? Will Dana Bash do that? No, she won't. But you see how ridiculous this all is?

The media desperately trying to sell, desperately trying to sell these white nationalists in Washington, D.C., the leading one of, if not the leading white supremacist groups in America, all with 200 members. In a country of 350 million. And by the way, you also had these folks chanting death to the USA.

Death, death to the USA! Death, death to the USA! Death, death to the USA!

Right, right, right.

Death, death to the USA! Death, death to the USA! We're not free till everybody is free!

Happy birthday, f*** you! Happy birthday, f*** you! Happy birthday, f*** you! Nice. Happy birthday, f*** you! Happy birthday, f*** you!

So you have these folks screaming, F the police. You have these people screaming, we're not free till we're all free. And they're also screaming, happy birthday, America, F you. And again, death, death to the USA and so forth. And so is Dana Bash hand wringing over this? No. You know, the other thing that I would say to Dana Bash, and I realize very few people, if any, either know who she is, an anchor at CNN, or care about what she has to say. But you know what I would be curious about? I would be curious. On the left, you have all of these people, including people that have been elected into the House of Representatives. that would agree with the chants of these people in Washington, D.C. F the police. We're not free till we're all free, which means they went to abolish prisons. Death to the USA. I'd be willing to bet that there is more people on the left that agree with those things and those chants than people on the right who agree with some of the tenants of these white nationalists. Just saying. So just a few things to think about as you're going to be hearing in the days to come about all of these white nationalists in Washington, D.C. 866-90-RED-EYE is the phone number. 866-907-3339.
