We'll be right back.

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-RED-EYE is the phone number, 866-907-3339. Always appreciate the opportunity to fill in on the Mighty Red Eye Radio. If you can't call in, you can text in, 615-737-9986. I do have the latest on Graham Plattner. Has he resigned yet? The answer to that is no. and it actually looks like he may not be resigning or dropping out of his race despite enormous

pressure. Many of them saying it's time for him to end his campaign. Alexis McAdams is joining us live with all the fallout from this as that fallout grows by the minute. Alexis, this is just a drip, drip, drip when it comes to Graham Plattner. Bill, that's right. We talked

about it the other day. First, the Nazi tattoo, then the allegations of physical abuse. That wasn't enough for Congressman Ro Khanna, and it still doesn't look like it's enough for Senator Bernie Sanders. We're waiting to see if he pulls his endorsement. Calls for Graham Plattner, though, are growing for him to drop. Even the mayor of New York City just a short time ago, Bill, says this guy has to go after a woman who dated Plattner. Her name is Jenny Rakakot, accused him of raping her back in 2021. She told CNN he forced himself on her despite her telling

them to stop. Yep. And here's the thing. And the opening of that piece, I know this is radio, so you couldn't see it, but they got all of these photographs of Democrats who have now pulled their support for Graham Plattner or they have encouraged him to step down. So, by the way, it is worth noting, Bernie Sanders did eventually tell Graham Plattner to drop out. Now, multiple sources are saying that he might actually be staying in the race, which would more than likely lead to a defeat and a win for Susan Collins for the Republicans in the state of Maine. But now Politico is reporting this. I honestly believe that Grant Plattner doesn't really know what he's going to do. But this is what Politico says. Grant Plattner's campaign said that it had reached out to the main Democratic Party to discuss the process for replacing him if he were to drop out of the state's U.S. Senate race. So apparently, I think what Plattner is doing, and this is what's being reported, is that he is trying to pick his own replacement. Yeah. The acknowledgement came after the state party accused the campaign of improperly trying to influence that succession process. And it is the clearest indication yet that Plattner is considering leaving the race after saying Monday he was taking the time to reflect on his bid for the Senate. But if he decides that because the Democrat Party will not work with him on choosing his own replacement, then he may not step down. Wouldn't that be crazy? Because clearly the guy is not wanted by the Democrat Party. But listen to this. This is from Politico. The campaign spokesperson noted that Plattner had received more than 150,000 votes in last month's primary and that more than 15,000 volunteers had lent their support to his bid. Do you know what the shocking thing is, if I may just just sideline this for a second? And we've gone over, Gary and Eric, everybody's gone over the problems with Graham Plattner, the anti-Semitism, the bullying of fellow veterans online, the horrible things that he has said about the gay community. He's the sexual assault allegations. Now, the allegations of rape, you know, a lot. And of course, the Nazi tattoo. A lot of these volunteers, well they knew all of this going in when they came in to volunteer for granted

some of this stuff was already known. And as the campaign continued and more of these things came out, a lot of these volunteers stayed, which I think is absolutely insane. But anyway, the campaign spokesman noting Plattner had received more than 150,000 votes in last month's primary, 15,000 volunteers as well. This is the quote. While Graham would not want to be a part of the process. He would want to make sure the voters and the volunteers make this decision, not the political establishment. An unnamed source telling the New York Times on Monday that Plattner would only withdraw from the race on the condition that he was, listen to this quote, that he was replaced by a candidate who he believes is true to the values and the vision and the policy agenda of the campaign that Maine voted for. Values? Really?

Hey babes, it's Paris Hilton. So I was checking my points balance in the Hilton honors app the other day. And yeah, I've got about a billion, which feels excessive, even for me. Just kidding. You can never have too many Hilton Honors points. And I want to do something iconic this summer, so I'm giving away all my Paris points. Just find somewhere you've always wanted to stay, then go to my socials or Hilton's and tell me about it. Just make sure you're a Hilton Honors member, and I might be sending you Paris points. Because when you want points that make your summer even hotter, it matters where you stay.

I mean, I saw that word, and I thought, somebody please tell me what values that Graham Plattner has. I mean, does that include rape and sexual assault and Nazi tattoos and homophobic slurs and intimidation? Are those the values that he wants to ensure that whoever replaces him on the campaign has? Because that's what I took away from that word, the values of Graham Plattner. Wow. I think we know what Graham Plattner's values are. And by and large, the Democrat Party knew as well, and they still supported him until the allegations of rape. Now, people are talking about all of this, of course. Scott Jennings on CNN says there's something very familiar about all this.

I'm amazed at just how breezily Democrats are out there publicly discussing subverting the will of the people of Maine. Graham Plattner overwhelmingly won a primary. Ninety eight percent of what we know about Graham Plattner. We already knew. Yep. The voters knew. The Democrats knew. The activists knew. The donors knew.

Everybody knew. Yep. He is right. Scott Jennings is absolutely right. Everybody knew. Same with Joe Biden, by the way. Everybody knew Biden was completely out of his mind mentally. But he won the primary. Democrats realized after the primary that he could not win. They pulled the plug and went with Kamala Harris without a special election or primary or anything. The party bosses did what the party bosses do. And as Scott Jennings said, they subverted the will of the people in their party that voted in the primary, whether we're talking about Graham Plattner or Joe Biden. So now the Democrats, they believe that they are unable to win with Graham Plattner. So, yeah, they're pulling the plug on Plattner and will probably replace him without any kind of a primary.

There's a reason why everybody voted for him. Summer of 24, right now. They voted for him anyway. Your Graham Platter hasn't dropped out of this race yet. But if Graham Platter does drop out, that does open the opportunity. But you have all these Democrats, and even some of them, well, I guess we'll have to get somebody else. You had a vote. This is a democracy. The Democrats voted, and now the party of democracy is apparently going to subvert the will of the people. What you're hearing from Scott, though, is that obviously the Republicans at this point would love to run against Graham Platter. I mean, it's super... I mean, it's super... I mean... I mean, that would be a gift for them.

And to David's point, every hour is a good five. No, and, you know.

Look, Lulu, it's not a gift that someone like this was allowed to make it this far in this process. But he did make it this far. And I think the Democrats, sometimes, what's the old saying? You know, you made your bed, now you've got to lie in it. Well, at least the Democrats should not spoke out against him. The Democrats ought to have to lie in this.

Yep, that is Scott Jennings. And, of course, cue all the screaming that goes on. You know, we'll see what Plattner does. There may be some negotiating that is going on behind the scenes, but, you know, Plattner apparently wants this guy, Troy Jackson, who is a former state Senate president in Maine. But now there are accusations that Troy Jackson himself has skeletons in his closet as well. So that's going to be a problem. So Plattner says, no, no, no. See, now that there's pushback, Plattner is like, no, no, no. We're not trying to skip the tip the scales. That's not what we're trying to do. We're not trying to tip the scales. We'll have to see ultimately what happens. But this is from CNN. As main Democrats try to find the right option, if Plattner pulls out. A July 25th pop-up convention or statewide caucus has been floated, according to the New York Times. The state party committee is unlikely to make the choice. The New York Times reported the state party's committee, which has about 100 members, will not be choosing the nominee. Now, Brandon Gill is a Republican congressman out of Texas. He says that Plattner is only part of the problem. The Democrat Party is really to blame for all this.

Democrats are going to go looking for another candidate that they think can make that or articulate that message, particularly to young white men. What happened here, remember, is that Democrats were looking for somebody. Graham Plattner didn't just come out of nowhere from Maine. Party leaders looked for a candidate that they believed would resonate with young white men. and they found the biggest scumbag they possibly could because that is Graham Plattner is the caricature of white men that Democrats have in their heads. And that's who they think can carry

that message. I mean, toxic, toxic masculinity, right? I mean, isn't that what the Democrats have been complaining about all this time? They picked what I would say is one of the most toxic individuals you'll ever find. And by the way, I don't believe in this toxic masculinity. I don't believe in that. But if I did, I agree with Brandon Gill, where this guy would be the personification of it if you believed in toxic masculinity. But whole thing is just crazy. By the way, they're talking about the situation with the vetting. Listen to this. When Scott Jennings said that Democrats have to lie in their bed that they made. Do you know how much they spent on the vetting of Graham Plattner? $6,250 for your basic background check, a check. $6,250 that took only three days. Now, the vetting process for politicians, usually they run in the tens of thousands of dollars. And it takes a long time because you really need to dig deep, right? The New York Times talks about this vetting processes that they are undertaking to help ensure prospective elected officials don't have personal baggage that could, if discovered, derail their candidacy. And they only paid six thousand two hundred fifty dollars for a background check that took three days. So this is the Democrats fault. I mean, it really, truly is. Now they've got to deal with all of this. Dave is calling from Pennsylvania on Red Eye Radio. Dave, thanks

for calling in. Go ahead, sir. I'm no fan of Graham Plattner. I'm a Republican, in fact, but I think he's getting kind of a of a raw deal. I mean, if this woman, you know, if you get raped, I it's it's my view, you should call the police as soon as you're in a place of safety or as soon as the person leaves your house. She's waited five years to come forward with this. And in terms of these other allegations, if there was any validity to them, why weren't the police and various district attorneys, why haven't criminal cases been brought? I mean, this guy won the primary and he won it big. I don't want him to win the election, but I think he's getting kind of a raw deal. And this woman said,

she thinks men count too much on the silence of women. Well, she remained silent for five years and only coming forward now on the eve, the relative eve of a senatorial election.

So, I mean, you're right on all of those counts. I would not defend the silence of this woman for five years. And, you know, but from the Democrats perspective, remember, Dave, the Democrats perspective is believe all women, right? So they've got to live with their own mantra. So if they're going to live by believe all women, then they've got to believe this woman. I think there's some party jockeying going on, of course, behind the scenes. They needed to figure out a way out of the Grant Plattner business, because I think they probably had some internal polling that showed that Graham Plattner was not going to win. And so they and by the way, there's some more allegations out there today with Graham Plattner. I'm I'm hesitating. It's late enough at night, early enough in the morning that I can tell you folks what those allegations are. And I will here in a second. But I think that the the Democrats were looking for a way out. I think that they brought it, as you said, Dave, right up to the relative eve of the deadline before they could boot him. And so they made him and are making him look as bad as possible, because I think that there is some coordinated effort here. And I think they're making him look as bad as possible so that the person that replaces Grant Plattner will look like an angel. And, Dave, I appreciate the call. There is an ex-girlfriend of Graham Plattner. Do I have time to do this? I think that I do. There's an ex-girlfriend of Graham Plattner, just real quick, who is accusing him of, during sexual intercourse, of taking off the condom. and that is the latest accusation now if i'm going to follow the track that dave is on okay well then if you notice that he took it off in the middle of your encounter your intercourse well then stop having sex i mean that seems pretty simple to me anyway uh the phone number is 866 90 red eye 866 90 733 39 got a lot more straight ahead on red eye radio brought to you by

It's Red Eye Radio, 866-90. Red Eye is the phone number, 866-907-3339. All right, coming up, the Trump administration is apparently going to crack down on illegal alien truck drivers. And I know there's a lot of truckers that listen to Red Eye Radio. I love what the men and women do out on the highways and byways of America, delivering all of our goods. I thank you very much for what you do behind the wheel of those 18 wheelers. And so the president and I've got some great audio from Tom Homan coming up. They are going after the illegal alien truck drivers and the states and the schools that give them those CDLs. It was just in earlier this week, right in Pennsylvania, where a illegal alien truck driver just killed a state trooper on the side of the road. Horrible, horrible story. So I love, and again, I've got some great audio from Tom Holman coming up after the break. Also, this headline.

Trump's inner circle. Have now talked about the real UFO disclosure. Apparently, the president has a speech that he is ready to give. It is written and ready. And basically, they're talking about what he is going to explain to the American people. So we're going to talk about that coming up as well straight ahead. People who listen to me in Nashville, Tennessee, know that I am a big time in and out fan in and out has now given a major update about its expansion east coast fans i'm just going to give you the headline you're going to be left out in the cold if you love in and out and you're in like new york you might be so well anyway details straight ahead right here on red eye radio

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

It's Red Eye Radio, 866-90-RED-EYES, the phone number. Dan Mandis in for Gary and Eric and Steve is in Stone Mountain, Georgia on Red Eye Radio.

Steve, how are you doing? Doing great. How are you doing this morning? Hey, Graham Plattner for years, the Democrat Party has belittled and hostile towards white males. So, of course, they lost our vote. Big surprise. But they're trying to get us back. All they have to offer, not real white men, but caricatures of white men like this human piece of feces. Graham Plattner, he's just a caricature of a man, and that's just all they have to put up, like mama's boys like him. And the only reason they're dropping him is because they figured out he can't win. If they still thought he could win, they would stick with him, even if he was, you know, credibly accused of cannibalism.

You know, it's crazy.

That's just how morally bankrupt that party is.

Well, you're right. Do you remember how much money they spent trying to figure out how to reach working class males? Do you remember that whole thing where they spent $20 million?

Yeah. If you had any authenticity at all, you wouldn't have to spend a penny. You would instinctively know what to do to reach people who actually make this country run.

That's exactly right. And I appreciate the call very much. And I agree with you on Grant Plattner. I mean, living, breathing piece of human excrement is the only way that I can describe him. And the Democrat Party thought that he was, you know, a good guy to represent them. As I wrapped up the show yesterday, I played a few times Elizabeth Warren and, you know, her little audio clip that said that, you know, Graham Plattner is her kind of guy. Remember that? Do you know what's so funny, too? Have you noticed that the Democrats are bringing truly horrifying people to run for these incredibly important races? And I'm not I'm not talking about the socialists. I mean, I do find the, you know, anti-Israel, you know, anti-America wiping their hands on the American flag, free Palestine. I do find those people horrifying, too. So. But when we start talking about, you know, some of these people that are running for the Democrats, I mean, OK, so you've got Graham Plattner. You've also got Eric Swalwell. Who was running for the governorship for the state of California, and he ended up with a lot of these same types of allegations. And by the way, Democrats knew it. Democrats knew about all of those horrifying allegations by the by the ex-girlfriends and all of these people that knew Eric Swalwell. And yet they supported him anyway. Then you've got Katie Porter, also out of California, who threw hot mashed potatoes on her husband's head. Jay Jones, who said that he wanted to shoot his Republican opponent and his kids and urinate on their graves. He was running for AG in Virginia, and he won, by the way. Absolutely horrifying. And yeah, Goldbar, Bob Menendez as well, corruption. And now you've got another one, of course, as I said, Graham Plattner. I'm sure I've got it.

text line. I've got a lot that I want to do in this segment, so I don't know if I can take any more calls. But 615-737-9986. I'm sure that there is somebody that the Republicans have run that is as disgusting as some of these people. I'm just I can't think of anyone. And maybe it's because I'm conservative. And no, I don't believe that anything that Donald Trump has ever done equates to any of what I've just described. Was that a Santos? Is it George? Was it George Santos? The guy that lied on his resume? That's the, yeah, George Santos. The only one that I can think of. Other than that, I can't think of a Republican, a recent Republican who has this kind of a resume. A Graham Plattner, Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter throwing piping hot mashed potatoes on her husband's head. Jay Jones talking about wanting to shoot his Republican opponent in the family. I can't think of anyone that is on that kind of a level of being a horrifying person. Now. I'm a conservative. Maybe I'm blind to the problems within my own party, although I don't believe that I am. but if I've missed one, send a text 615-737-9986, and I'll look at it before the end of the show. One of the things that I talk about a lot, I'm a morning host in Nashville, Tennessee, on Supertalk 99.7 WTN, 6 to 10 Eastern, 5 to 9 Central. One of the things that I talk about often is illegal alien truck drivers. And, you know, if you listen to Red Eye Radio and you know what's going on, You know that it is a major, major problem across our country, especially with the administration of Joe Biden allowing all of these people into our country. Then they go to places like California. Then they go to places like the the state of Washington and Oregon and some of these other states that are liberal and they get their CDLs and they're driving around these massive 18 wheelers and they end up killing innocent people. I don't have the time and maybe I'll have time tomorrow night, but I mean, I could name you probably at least 10 to 15 different episodes of these illegal alien truck drivers killing people over the last several years. And the people that they're killing are Americans. And, yeah, it's a major issue. And so now the Trump administration and you truck drivers know exactly what I'm talking about.

Some of you and I get conflicting reports, but some of you has said that the illegal alien truck drivers, they are willing to work for lower money. So that is depressing wages in the trucking industry. Others have said that is not the case. I don't know what the reality is. But what I do know is that there's a lot of frustration within the trucking industry. And there's certainly frustration amongst the American people as we hear time and time and time again that illegal aliens are being given these CDLs and they can't speak English. They don't know the roads. They barely know what's going on around them here in America because they just snuck into our country. Tom Homan says, you know what? We are going to surge across America at these way stations to catch illegal alien CDL drivers.

The driver's license revoked as of May 1st was over 28,000, which seems significant. But out of how many? Do you know what the denominator is?

That's a work in progress. Because, again, getting information from some of the sanctuary states is a struggle. And Sean Duffy soon, DOJ soon. So we're we're trying to get all this information we can.

Yeah. And you're talking about tens of thousands. How do you get all of these folks, by the way? I don't know. But, you know, they exist. And we find out that they exist when they end up killing some some poor guy on a motorcycle, which is what happened in eastern Tennessee here in my state of Tennessee. So this is happening. I love that Tom Homan is going to do that surge and try to get as many of these guys off the road as he possibly can. Now. Donald Trump's inner circle, this is an article in the.

Daily Mail, and it's by a guy named Chris Malor, U.S. deputy deputy science editor. He says Donald Trump's inner circle have shown me the real UFO disclosure. The president has an imminent speech written and ready. What he'll explain about non-human life will make it all make sense. All right. So I just saw this. I'm going to paraphrase some of this. But they say that Trump has this speech ready to go. What is he going to tell the American people? And by the way, and I've talked about this before, The Age of Disclosure. It is an incredible documentary. You've got to watch it if you're interested in UFO stuff. A guy named Mark Christopher Lee, who correctly predicted several aspects of Donald Trump's UFO disclosure plans in the Daily Mail earlier this year, now claims the president has prepared a speech that would amount to a historic soft disclosure of extraterrestrial life. White House disclosures have told the Daily Mail that no speech discussing this topic has been planned. But there's a lot of people inside the administration that do say, oh, yeah, it's coming. This guy, Lee, revealing that multiple sources believe the speech not only exists, but may have been moved up to take place during the NATO summit in Turkey on July 8th. 8th, which is today, which is also the anniversary of the Roswell UFO incident in 1947, though he is less confident about the exact timing of the speech. Well, that's going to be interesting. The alleged draft of the speech is said to mention specific UFO incidents over the last 80 years, including Roswell, the U.S. Navy's encounter with a craft called the Tic Tac in 2004 and multiple UFOs spotted by fighter jets along the East Coast in 2015. If you haven't seen these videos, they are incredible. Now, a lot of these incidents have already been sort of, you know, in the if you're interested in this stuff, you already know about some of these. But they say that Donald Trump is going to go a step further and confirm that these incidents are believed to have involved craft and beings of a non-human origin. So essentially what the president is going to do is he is going to confirm as president of the United States, these incidents, they're not conspiracies. They are real. The crafts are real. And these non-human beings are also real. This is what the president, apparently, according to this guy in the Daily Mail, is going to say.

The president also is expected to reveal that forensic testing done on entities found in crashed UFOs proves these beings were not from Earth. i mean this is going to be really interesting and yeah if it happens today that's going to be fascinating they say that donald trump has expressed support for increased transparency and disclosure regarding ufos though his personal interest in the subject has historically been described as skeptical or limited so we'll have to see if we get a speech here in the next couple of days. All right. Where is In-N-Out coming to across Middle Tennessee and America? So I'm, again, a big In-N-Out fan. And they've now announced plans to open stores in, you ready? Colorado, Texas, Idaho, East Tennessee. There's a couple of new In-N-Outs that are coming in in my location of Middle Tennessee. There is one opening up in Madison, few people listening on WTN and another one opening up in Hermitage right on my way home from work every single day. Also, New Mexico has another one coming, too. So in and out, they are definitely expanding. What they also say is that there is no way in any real length of time that there's no way in any. Not any time soon is what I'm trying to say is In-N-Out going to open any stores on the East Coast. They say that there's just no way that they can do it. I have a feeling that part of the reason why In-N-Out won't move to the East Coast is because the East Coast, frankly, is full of liberal ideas.

Ideology in and out is known to be extremely conservative. My name is Dan Mandis. Got a lot more straight ahead.

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

Dan Mandis here on Red Eye Radio. So, by the way, had that I do say so myself, a pretty good show tonight. RedEyeRadioShow.com. If you want to check out any part of the radio program, that is where you can find the podcast. By the way, I've been fact checked from the great state and the free state of Florida when I said a lot of these East Coast states, I think that In-N-Out, there's logistical reasons why In-N-Out can't move to expand out to the East Coast. But, you know, I said, well, you've got a lot of these liberal states on the East Coast. So that might be one of the reasons why this Christian family doesn't want to go that far east. And I got fact checked by somebody in Florida says, hey, Mandis, Florida is a very conservative state. I stand corrected. You know, I just got back from a trip to Florida and I can't whenever I talk about Florida, I always find myself saying the free state of Florida, which is what they call themselves in the Sunshine State. So and this person, whoever it is, asked me if I could ship some of those In-N-Out hamburgers from Tennessee to Florida. I can tell you from personal experience, they don't travel well. And one of my local listeners said, congratulations, Dan, you have now promoted In-N-Out on every radio show you have done. That's actually probably true. i think one of my first days 12 years ago one of my first shows in uh in nashville i made a one-man mission that i was going to get in and out to come to tennessee i'm sure that's why they finally moved here thanks for listening
