it's kind of the uh opposite with me so um but uh my mom's side connected but uh but not so much with with my dad's side although i do love my cousins on my dad's side i didn't meet them until until later long story but uh so how'd it go i got to about 5 000 feet as we were flying in friday

and that's when i could say that smell on a plane on a plane yeah about 5 000 feet over over lake you know coming in uh to the the buffalo airport and it's like all right i can smell the campfire smell it starts uh uh smelling the smoke and so i went and and saw dad and it was still a little it was still hazy you could see the haze was really there yeah not as bad as it was the day before i was told right but it was still bad and then uh i remember when i was a kid and when we went to boy scouts and there was a bowling alley in the church well on the church property there was a bowling alley and it's funny because whenever i bring it up i get people from wisconsin and you know minnesota saying we had a bowling alley in our catholic church too but there was a bar and a bowling alley yeah and i think they're all gone i don't think they have that any i think it was replaced by bingo uh but everybody used to smoke this is in the 60s oh yeah and i remember the incredible sick feeling i would get and it was sort of the same thing i didn't lose my appetite completely but my stomach didn't feel right and i went i slept like 10 hours on friday night into saturday still didn't feel never lost my appetite though still didn't feel great went back early and slept 12 hours saturday to sunday and then sunday the cold front moved the cold front really moved in uh and you had you know 15 to 25 mile an hour winds and it cleared it right up it was a beautiful day on uh on on on sunday uh where i was able to go to the driving range and it was like 70 71 degrees this is great and when i left yesterday morning yeah when i when i left my hotel my hotel is right i mean you i could walk to the airport it's so close but when i jumped in my rent a car I'm like, what the – I can't say the H-E double hockey stakes word because it would be what the tundra is going on.

Yeah, why the hell not?

I walked out and I looked, 53 degrees. And yesterday's high here I believe was like 103.

Yeah, I measured 105 at my house. Was it? I mean, you know, it varies.

from well and then uh and and so uh uh but the you know everything was was uh great but my power went out like yeah like quarter after five when it was the temperature was at its hottest but i still i slept i have a tiny swamp cooler they actually work right i got a tiny this i never i mean i try i just tried it one day to see if it worked and it worked great but It just runs...

over cold water yeah now does it have a way to chill the water or is it just water no they do it through evaporation it was just regular tap water just just okay yeah it actually did it uh it actually cools the air now it's got to be the air the drier the air the better it works right and and i just didn't think i was like okay i got to go to now even i was out for like three hours and maybe the temperature in the house i think went up maybe four degrees or five you know insulation's pretty good but i'm facing my my master bat bat my master bedroom faces the southwest where the sun's still hitting and i got big windows there even though it's primary bedroom

all right i'm fired yeah i'm done yeah the politically correct now is

primary well i am i am the master of the house no you're not your cat is you told me that just No, no, no. I am higher on the food chain than my cat.

Yeah.

The way I've actually said that to my cat.

Yeah.

Wait a minute. You know I'm higher on the food chain. No, you're not. Yeah. Sorry. The primary. Yeah. The primary. Now, we know now we probably shouldn't be using primary anymore because primary for Democrats means an undemocratic process of a fascist kind of thing where the party leadership.

Well, it means that there's somebody that is at the top that belongs in that space. So you can't have that either. The point was. In the bedroom you sleep in. Right.

not the big one the cat sleeps in it it uh it it worked great so yeah well let me ask you so as

so on approach did they mention that over the intercom on the flight you know you're going to see some smoke and you might even be able to smell some smoke please don't be alarmed that

has nothing to do with our equipment no they uh before we took off you said you know in dallas He said the, you know, the wildfires are there, so you're going to, we may see some haze. He didn't say smell, but everybody knew it. It was like, oh, everybody was fully aware of it on the plane going, wow, you can smell the, and you can see it was pretty hazy.

And also, if you smell some weed, that's none of your business.

We're not sure whether that's coming from the Canadian side or the American side. You have a choice of edibles, and we appreciate you choosing United. This is a rare exception. Smoking will be allowed in the bathroom. Yeah, yeah.

You can't smoke. Eat all you want. We don't care.

So it was a good time. It really was. You know the problem with family reunions, though? Family? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we got this little shelter. you know went with my great nephew he's getting ready to go on to college so yeah it was like you know it's like i'm gonna see him one more time before i heads off to college for his uh graduation birthday party he never had a graduation party so they're doing a combination of both here in about three weeks all right good uh and and but uh so walk out as soon as i'm not even in the shelter yet by the way i didn't want to stay in the shelter because it was shaded and it was still the breeze was a little cool out yeah but i walk up one of my cousins hey get in a conversation and the thing is and i'm gonna guess there are about maybe 60 70 people there and you start talking to someone and someone else walks up to you you start talking to them and then you realize the person you were talking to is talking to someone else but then you apologize hey I'm sorry they walked up oh I know but they walked up to me too you never finish a conversation with any of your cousins and I got tons of cousins yeah you never finish a conversation but you talk to as many people as you possibly can and then someone screams out all right come on Gary bocce ball time it's you know the bocce ball tournament I want to let you know the team McNamara won the bocce ball tournament again I never had any success in basketball I never had any success in football i never had any success uh in uh in you know real success in hockey but later in life i found my calling bocce ball team mac team gary not team mcnamara yeah team gary team gary won again everybody was well related to team mcnamara at least now what's a bocce ball again what does it explain that to me yeah you throw you throw the uh they call you know it's called bocce ball lawn bowling right throw a little white ball out and then everybody has to see how close you can you know roll these bigger little bowling balls how close you can get to that

ball that you throw out there okay cool and the best part was we play on the same track it's the same shelter every year that we get and so we some of us have figured out basically the break you know the the like in a putt we figured out the break to get it there oh yeah and so it's really and and for some reason i have no idea because everybody's like how do you do that i'm driving my you know my great nephew and a couple people driving them crazy how do you do it i go I have no idea. You just kind of found your groove, your bocce ball groove. Right. It's like you practice this? Yeah. Yeah, I go back to Texas, and I spend all year throwing a bocce ball.

Well, you've been playing in the minors for a while, and so that helped. In Texas at our reunion, we didn't do bocce ball. We did shoot the tail off the donkey.

And it was a real donkey. It was a real donkey. Well, that's Texas for instance.

Yeah, the blindfolds didn't help. I'm going to tell you that right now. They didn't. So.

So, mochi ball's done. It's like, we normally play two out of three. We only played one game, and it was like, because everybody wanted to talk, I go back in, I start talking again, and all of a sudden, it's like, I look at my great-nephew's talking, like, we got to go.

Yeah.

And I think I had one bottle of water that I brought with me. That was gone.

Yeah.

I didn't even eat anything because a lot of it, you know, it's a family reunion, so it's super high carb. Yeah, it's all cupcakes and crackers. Exactly. Right. Okay, I did have one of my sister's chocolate chip cookies. Well, all right. And then it was like into the car, drop him off, say goodbye to him, go back to the – oh, no, go back to see dad one last time, take my great nephew back to the to his to his house uh head to the hotel go to sleep wake up 2 30 in the morning to catch the early morning flight back all right so that was uh that was really the week that was the weekend and it's always it's always good though and then that's good when i get back here i'm talking to my brother and i went oh he goes what a cousin you know one of my cousins have to say i said oh i forgot to how did i miss someone you're so busy talking to someone you know i missed one of my cousins that i wanted to talk to yeah and it's just one of those things where it's uh uh you know it's just uh it's it's a it's a real real fun time i glad i uh i i you know i'm glad i get to go every year and thank you because you always make sure that we can make this a three-day weekend yeah and i know you yeah uh i was i was

i was going back and forth on it this year thinking about saying no but no it's always you know it's always good you know this is the time of year uh when you know we start the second basically the second half of the year the back nine we start uh basically taking our vacation and in time off and uh it kind of builds up through throughout the year leading up to it of course november 3rd uh you know or as i call it the day of day of uh gop disappointment uh will be a big day um but uh we've got a little more vacation coming up between now and the end of the year uh but um yeah again another eventful weekend well i'll say this because we had we had talked

about the you know the the president's speech the other night yeah you know that that sort of disappeared completely by the time we got to to uh monday yeah nobody was really talking about anymore and the criticism of it from the president from the president's critics the republican and the conservative critics were if it's that serious why aren't you doing any sanctions against china why are you throwing 50 percent tariffs at canada yet you say the threat to the election

is china but nothing happens to china well in fact we went home i think it must have been that friday morning uh and it was announced yeah no no actions will be taken against china yeah and it's like

then what's the big what's the big only only canada if if it's if it's that if it's that important yeah will you call for the speech and as we've said we laid out on friday what we believe

the republicans can do politically with that look you know there's a there's a big deal it was a big deal first of all keeping this information from a sitting president yeah that was during his first term um that to me is one of the biggest things is because it's also in the same arena of how the first impeachment came to be and we talked about this for years and again i i can't find the article i've been trying to find it i read it actually on a plane while traveling but it talked about all of the people that during the Obama years were put into place and these were activist type people that were put into place and you know they're they're not uh senate

confirmation type positions they're just hires and i think of fight club right everyone is tyler you know it it was that mentality of we don't need we it's the same mindset we don't need to tell each other what to do we know what to do and so that was at play and we know that was at play with a number of people in, you know, the deep state in Intel at the FBI. I'm sorry, the FBI, formerly known as Twitter. All of these, all of those things, you know, when you think about how much control there was during that time and it being kept from a sitting president in his daily briefings. I mean, we're talking China. We're not talking about, like, a couple of bad actors, you know, from some other foreign country that's not related. This was China doing this, and it's a big deal. And it was when I – it must have been Friday morning because it was after the show, and I know we haven't talked about it since. But I read where, yeah, no actions are going to be taken against China. Are you kidding me? if you're not throwing down the gauntlet because you and i were talking about when it comes to tariffs if there is any case to be made with tariffs it's china yeah and especially on intellectual property rights but this goes so far beyond that even i mean that's important too and i and i thought and i said you and i said during his first term if he doesn't get it done on intellectual property rights with china then likely no president ever will and now i have zero confidence anybody will ever do anything about about china and and everything that they're doing

well as you said about canada too yeah the criticism we've had with with the president going after canada is our trade policy that we currently have right now everything was negotiated by one person and the people that were following the instructions of that one person and who is that one person who was totally responsible because he is the one that did the last deal with canada who is it it's donald trump it's trump so to demonize as he has over the years canada for a deal that he alone create he alone is responsible you can't say congress was because it was the president and his people that did the entire trade deal to demonize Canada to say it's a horrible the trade deals that we have with Canada are horrible it means the trade deal that he created is horrible yeah that's it we are red eye radio brought to you by hot shot secret hi

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

And he is Eric Harney and I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome and good morning. As I said, one of the things politically, and we'll get to everything that happened over the weekend because there was there was so much over the three-day weekend but this is the one thing that just stuck with me that the democrats are now coming out and going all right what's going on you know what's going on with our party it isn't stopping the communists it's not stopping them and there's still a lot of support for it but the voices i thought were coming out strong the first one was uh i saw this uh on social media carvel oh and he's was talking about the fact that you know you know democrats have to stop celebrating when somebody dies or is sick it's like yeah where the hell did this come from and and so uh here now i one thing before i play this because i can see the i can see the video why does it look like he's always like in a gravity chair

uh he's he's he needs someone needs to reposition his camera or phone or whatever he's using i don't even think it's a it's a new phone i think it's a really old phone because the video he puts out

the quality is horrible well this way he's like he's always leaning way back i mean does he have

a back problem or something we don't know about maybe and and and in this one you know and many of the recent ones he's also looking down or anti-gravity chart whatever they call it you put you put the you put the camera in front of your face and look straight forward

you know it's but you know or it could be a lounge chair it's almost like it's like the the back is you know what is is back he's got he's got you know put the seat back almost like you put the seat back in an airplane and he's laying back there and you know and the camera is In this recliner. Yeah, sort of facing, looking up towards him.

I mean, I hope he's okay health-wise. I mean, you know, but, yeah, it looks weird.

But here we go. Here it is.

Let me be clear. I don't want anybody to get sick, okay? I just don't. Not Lindsey Graham, not Mitch McConnell. Right. Not even Donald Trump, okay? That just, we've just been slinging around. And, I mean, I like hardball politics. I like body slam and everything. But it's just fascination and glee in other people's health issues is just something I don't want to be part of.

Now, you know why he's saying that? I figured this out. Because at my age, and especially like the last six months, I know so many people that are getting sick. And I think that as you get to be this age, it's like, there for the grace of God go on.

Well, that's the thing is that, you know, I'll tell you, you know, over time, I have gained more sympathy for the elderly. And it took many years, but I, you know, I've evolved. I am now an advocate for the elderly. Same with me. It's amazing how I've changed. I think it is one of the most critical demographics in our society. uh it is the most important but i i i think there's that but i think there's all

the realization that none of this comes back you know none of this comes back positive and you know I'll throw in uh President Trump's response to Rob Reiner you know there were a lot of during the impeachments and during uh the Russian collusion hoax and all of that there were a lot of bad actors who were directly involved in it and I would fully understand him you know just having just like no patience for any of those people uh at whatsoever I you and I have talked about it I I've said for years now because it's been years I would have lost it a long time ago probably um I would have lost my mind over something like that but when it came to Rob reiner and rob reiner was an activist and he was over the top by the way i'll say muller too his

response to muller yeah yeah was just you know you know why you don't you don't you never win

taking that position well because it's you know if if if if the person were still alive and made a statement respond to the statement right um but when somebody passes they're not there to respond to the statement they're not uh roger waters made some kind of statement about ozzy osborne uh that his music was like nonsensical or something and it was garbage or something to that effect um and jack osborne basically responded on social media you know and it was a jerk move by someone who has been actively a jerk for a long time roger waters of pink floyd um you know those kind of moves, I, I never understand that because I look at it, you know, when Beau Biden died, it was heartbreaking for me to think about the loss of, you know, when, when parents lose a son. And now I've been through that with my parents losing one of their sons, my brother, a few months ago. Uh, but it's always sad. Uh, my brother-in-law passed away, um, and before his parents and and so you know any it's always a tragic when parents outlive their children uh and and and also circumstances but then you know you get down to it and and what it was what is it we're doing here we're talking about ideas and celebrating the death or demise or illness or whatever it might be of someone else. Look, I'll say this. The exception with me would be the enemy. I don't like the idea of a life being extinguished, but if there's an exception to that rule, it would be an enemy that continues to be a threat against countless free people around the world.

Well, but, you know, you just reminded me when, look, I don't celebrate, you know, maybe if Hitler was alive, whatever, but I've never sat there and went, you know, when we take out a target, you take out a target.

It's not a celebration. It's saying the mission was completed.

Right. What I go back is to David Bellavia's book, the Medal of Honor Recipient, who actually does mild radio show at the radio station I used to work at in Buffalo. And, by the way, the radio station that we're on, WUSW there, 1270 The Patriot, But just to let you know, your FM signal for the North Towns is wonderful. I listened to it. Sounds great, you said. Yeah, you were telling me that during the break. Yeah, Patriot 1270 if you're in.

That's awesome.

Buffalo is where we're at, and the FM signal sounds great in the North Towns, and I was listening over the weekend. In fact, I don't know who the state senator was when I was listening on Saturday morning. It was a state official who was a Democrat, now is a conservative, who they were talking about jobs and everything else and you know where the new jobs are going to be and they were talking about you know college or trade and he said both and i'm like wow like your dad like my dad said many many times there you go uh you know uh before but uh uh david had written in his book which is a great book you know he got his uh the uh the medal because of felucia and if you ever read what happened what he went through yeah wow yeah he is he is well deserving of a medal of honor recipient uh but he talked about after you kill the enemy he was talking about in in felucia when you kill them you treat their bodies with respect you don't mock you don't do anything

you don't take anything off them you treat them because you know that civilians are paying

attention well and that and if you value life you understand that's a life extinguished you know while it may be worn they were out and you know with him it was at times hand to hand face oh

yeah inside the buildings that especially inside the building was in was just and you know my my

father had mentioned that a couple of times he doesn't talk about the two wars he served in but in both you know he was responsible for taking lives and and that's not easy to live with

but you know by any means and and but the point i'm trying to bring up is besides what you believe is morally right what is politically effective right it's never politically effective to say I'm glad he's dead. Right. And you got a ton of that from Lindsey Graham last week, and I think that's what.

Well, Brian Thompson, the CEO.

Yeah, CEO, exactly.

Who nobody knew before that day, before that fateful day when he was assassinated on the streets, shot by a coward, shot by an evil coward no one could name if you went to the average person and said without googling it who's the ceo of united health care no one could tell you no they celebrated when they learned who it was well he was also a father of two and a husband And a guy who came up through the ranks and was described as an everyday nice guy. Nobody cared because nobody valued the life. And the left doesn't value the life. This is the one thing that James Carville is missing is the reason they celebrate that is because they don't value life from the very beginning. and if you don't then anywhere along the way if it's somebody that is not in your camp disagrees with you or supports the other camp even they are the enemy and i thought about this recently because i have a different approach i know my neighbors i know the people that live on my street i've lived in this neighborhood for 30 years but there are people moving into this city that we live in in this metro area moving in by the tens of thousands every year i i don't know none of us know where the radicals are in fact those radicals who pulled off that ice shooting that was right here just a few miles from where you live in north texas and they were absolute absolute radicals evil people and they were intent on killing well if you do it we'll get

to the tom holman comment later on about the ice attack in uh in new york city yeah on the ice office and he said you know well my mom domini has said he's sorry goes sorry too little too late you can't be saying you can't be sitting there on a consistent basis and saying i'm glad the opposition is dead you know we these people are the secret police they're nazis they're this They're that. Now, if you sit there and you look at Plattner, for example, with the Nazi tattoo, knowing that he lied that he didn't know the meaning, well, you're pretty safe to say, wait a minute, Nazi, make us easy. But when you talk about people that have nothing to do and have not embraced in any way the concept of fascism and being a Nazi and you call them that and you continue to call them that, what you're saying is they believe in the things that Nazis and fascists believe when clearly they do not. But I want to play one more audio because this is, before we finish here, this is Van Jones talking about, and there's more audio, but I want to play this from Van Jones about him coming out and calling out the socialist takeover of the Democratic Party.

This phone has been blowing up all day. Governors from both parties, senators from both parties, Democrats in the House calling, thanking me for saying what everybody's been saying behind the scenes, which is that this stuff is going too far. I am a progressive Democrat. You want to talk about prison reform? I've done it as well as anybody, Republican, Democrats in the South with Trump. I've done prison reform. I never said have no prisons. Where are you going to put the Klan? I've done police reform. I never said no police. Where are you going to put the pedophiles? Who's going to grab the pedophiles? This stuff is going too far. And part of the thing that has to happen is we saw what happened in the Republican Party when things started going in a nutty direction and nobody stood up. I am happy. I'm happy that the young people are fighting for affordability.

Now, I would disagree on that one. Yeah, I would. Because when the people, when you talk about Nutty, the Republican Party has rejected the Candace Owens, the Tucker Carlson. Yep. They've been moved to the side. Yep. We are Red Eye Radio.

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

We are whatever you do. He's Eric Carly and I'm Gary McNamara. Yeah, so, I mean, when you see what's happening, though, What I've seen is you see media people pointing out what's going on. You still don't see the majority of what would be viewed as traditional Democrats that are currently holding public office come out and attack them. But it is growing larger. It is starting to grow larger. And when you had, and we'll have it coming up, did you see Hassan Piker talking to the College Democrats of America convention

and he's wearing like a Mao suit yeah yeah I mean it's like what in the no no no it's it really is there is this separation you know I said it leading up to the mayoral election in New York City because not all of the endorsements were in yet at that point when I said it Schumer had not endorsed mom donna yet and i said the party the official party the democratic party is trying to decide do we cross this threshold into communism now and it doesn't matter what the officials at the party decided the democratic socialists of america have decided they're going to cross that threshold and now they're the ones speaking for the party it's insane

I don't have it in front of me right now, but it was talking about all the host cities and how much money it brought in. All right, that's cool. That's great. I did see another article, and I kind of skimmed by it. It was how everybody who came here from other countries was so devastated that they had to leave. I shouldn't say everybody. I don't think they used that word. But a lot of people who came here from other countries were devastated that they had to leave the U.S. it was so great they didn't want to leave you know so but um get out um i it's it has to be you know when you go on vacation sometimes you don't go on vacation but gary one day you'll go on a vacation and when you do you know it's it's sometimes it's like oh i wish we could stay another couple of days or something here, this place, um, you know, and, and there's something to that extent, but I can't imagine what it's like being from another country and then coming here and you're only going to be here for, you know, whatever it is, I don't know, a few matches or maybe you bought the whole uh you know uh several week tour i don't know uh but then you're gonna you know have to go back home that must be i would love i would love to see a documentary on that i would love to see somebody make a documentary on the people and just choose people from different countries that have expressed you know oh man that's that it's a great country and here's why now there now there is a difference in order to temper this properly and be intellectually honest there's a difference between visiting and living you know i mean we expect you if you're going to come here legally and you want to move here that's great, but we expect you to, you know, contribute and all of that. But just the comments that were being made during that, I would love to see somebody make a documentary on that.

Well, one of the things that is really interesting, and I don't know if I mentioned on the air before, and this is even before, you know, we heard people that had come over from Europe saying, wow, the United States isn't how the media sells it to us. It's completely different. Wow. There Just like, you know, you almost believe that it's a monoculture, you know, that whoever is president determines exactly what the entire culture is, which, of course, is ridiculous. And it just that just isn't the case, whether it's a Republican or Democrat. But I follow a number of people from Europe. Not that I follow, but I've seen over the last couple of years since I don't pay – well, I actually pay not to get commercials on YouTube. And I probably watch YouTube more than anything. It's just everything is on YouTube, and if you have the commercials, it's unwatchable. So I actually pay the money not to get the commercials. and there was a there's a couple that came over from Australia that I watched and they had you know a two-hour video oh yeah of for example and these one was an Australian couple the other was a English couple going through Texas they were absolutely blown away Texas was nothing they said It's nothing as to the stereotype that you hear in Great Britain or Australia. Nothing. They were amazed by Texas. They couldn't believe, you know, number one, they said the restaurants, the food, the portions. And then, you know, the number one, especially the English couple, you know, the one thing that they were impressed about the most, but a little bit guilty about. cars and roads how you can go anywhere whenever you want in a vehicle yeah and there are roads everywhere and you can go and they go you know and i guess say you know the i'm paraphrasing here but you know We know that back where we come from, we talk on climate change and stuff like that. But I'm telling you, it's great to be free to be able to do this. And gasoline prices. It's great. You can go anywhere in a car. But when I saw that the first time, I'm thinking to myself, for God's sakes, you're Great Britain. You're sounding like you live in a third world country. That was the impression that I got from them. And I didn't get the impression, none of it was political. All of it was the observation of the experiences, you know, that they were going through. And I could not figure out where their politics was.

I remember a few years ago at the, maybe about five, six years ago, at the Lake Club, the Marina Club. And I was in there and I met these five people from Great Britain. absolutely absolutely and it would have been okay it would have been during trump's first term yeah absolutely love the united states they didn't want to go back yeah you know they've been here many times they visit all the time because they love america so much they are absolutely now they were a little older probably at that point maybe i'm going to guess in their 60s yeah and so they had seen great britain go through you know that you know they were there for thatcher and you know they they were there for the the different you know governments that have been there in great britain over the last you know number of of decades and just disgusted disgusted and when you see that it does as as an american it catches you a little bit off guard you're like oh wow that's right i mean i know it yeah but when you see such passion and then they're furious at the media for how they portray the united states and i i just you know i that to me to see you know that come out of and like i say when we in when we sarcastically insult soccer uh i you know we believe here on the show that debating music or debating sports is completely useless i actually because yeah people like what they like i i love it for the fans

look i i don't get the whole taylor swift thing but i love it for the fans you know i mean i it's not the music i listen to but i love it for the fans you know what i mean uh i saw something over the weekend and i've kind of made jokes about james taylor i was you know over the years that you know uh heavy metal wasn't you know making kids you know think weird you know back in the day it was it was james taylor but but if you listen to james taylor i mean honestly you break it down i saw this recent live performance um and they were streaming it and unbelievable i mean it's it's unbelievable it's so much talent it's not it may not be my thing right um Rick Beato sitting down with Billy Joel. Now, I love Billy Joel, but he sat down with Billy Joel and talked about how he wrote all these things and what he likes and then playing classical music and all these things. There are so many things that you can learn from. I can't learn a thing from soccer, but I'll tell you this. I have learned this, that I don't like soccer. But beyond that, no, I do love it for the fans. When the fans, you know, when there's that much passion put into something, you know, good for them, that's great that they, and, you know, I get it that it's not, you know, in other parts of the world, but I live here, and, you know, that's not my thing.

You like what you like, and I like what I like. You know, in music and sports, it's really dumb. We enjoy sarcastically going after soccer because we know that there are people out there that are so absolutely insane ballistic when somebody insults their sport. If, like, somebody says, I hate American football. Okay. I don't care. I don't. Now, I will tell you this. When I was watching I just was going through It was a couple of It was a Saturday or Sunday Maybe last week or the week before It's like the soccer was on I watched the one game that the United States I watched the Paraguay game Was that the first game they played That they won It was fun to watch Whatever But this was another I think the U.S. was out already We'll be right back.

and it was somebody playing I went whatever and I turned to the next channel and it was pickleball it was one of the major networks showing pickleball and I went all right that's got to stop now see pickleball's supposed to be my sport because I'm an old guy yeah but still as an old guy with pickleball it shouldn't be on national tv yeah I I can't even tell you what pickleball is Is it like racquetball? Is it pinball? I don't know what pickleball is. No, it's sort of like ping pong tennis, except you don't have a table. You're on the table. So, okay. It's like indoor tennis? It's like indoor soccer. Are they kicking it? Do they have paddles? What are they using? They've got paddles, yeah. You don't know what pickleball is? No. You're in that area. No, I know. That's your demographic. That it exists. Is it? Yeah. No. Honestly, I probably would play pickleball. Yeah. Did I ever tell you the one time this week? How big is the pickleball? I don't even know. Is it called a pickleball or just a ball? My ankle can't handle it. Is it a pickle? Yeah, I can't go right to left on it. But I'll never forget. This goes back a few years ago. I found out that my insurance would pay for the senior citizen center. they'd cover the pickleball and they had pickleball they had basketball courts whatever pickleball well I went in the surgery I went in there and checked out everything yeah and I went I can't hang around with these old people seriously that was my thought and then then I then I left and I'm walking through I'm like this is like Del Boca Vista you know with with the Seinfeld yeah you know whatever and I sit there I go wow I mean because everything you know I'm sitting and go all these real old ladies are looking at me and i go i forgot i'm an old man uh yeah and so i'm walking out i go boy that was just like del boca vista and i'm not kidding you as i said that an ambulance and a fire truck pull up and pull somebody out oh no and i'm like oh my and i told that story to too much pickle i told that story to uh one of my as i call them my chosen daughters yeah uh my my friend uh keely she couldn't stop laughing she laughed for about an hour she thought because she knows seinfeld she goes i go i'm not making i'm not exaggerating any of this but i went in there and and and i actually joined but i never went i was just like shouldn't they build the places next to clinics i mean er's but it's just amazing how you frame your own self-identity yeah to this and you're actually in that age because the thing was i probably i was probably this probably three years ago so i'm probably 67 you can join that when you're like 55 pickleball no

the senior citizen center oh really over 55 okay so most people were probably younger and i'm thinking look at all these old conjures here you know not realizing gary you're one of them so so So do they have, like, is there a list of activities every day? Oh, they've got a theater. There's a theater where you can go watch movies. They've got. Now, would these be current movies? No, all movies from basically the silent air. Okay. And so they had. No talking. They've got, I think, a couple of pools. They've got a basketball court. All right. And I was thinking, my ankle wasn't as bad back then, and I was thinking maybe I can go play, you know, basketball. And it was real cheap. I mean, it's like the insurance, even if I didn't have the insurance, it's only like because the city puts it on, it's like 55 bucks a year. Okay. You know what? I mean, that's – but, you know, I'd say this for those that want to stay busy, you know, and then – Great social activities. There's a little lake right there. You can go sit outside. There's speed dating or anything like that. I'm sure there was – Speed dating. It wouldn't be very fast. You know something? I know, as I said before, if you like soccer, if you want to see guys not scoring, just take a camera and follow me around for a week in my life. But I could have, yes, I could have found a date there. I guarantee it. Oh. I guarantee I could have found the date. Did you get some whistles? But, you know, I joined it. It's like nine miles from my house, though. and it's like i got my bike my pool and my gym right there in my house and so yeah i just it's like every time i even thought i was like no no no no yeah but it was just funny how you your self-identity which you have to deny the truth that gary do not judge these people as being old you're older than probably the majority of them in here and Thank you.

you're mocking them yeah yeah yeah i saw oh i saw oh the senior ego that i well i saw uh howie mendel had uh stephen wright on brilliant comic and i'm a huge fan so i had to watch it and he said during the podcast he goes yeah we're the same age we're both 70 i'm like wow i don't because i don't you know and how he still dresses young you put tennis shoes on a hat and the whole thing and it actually has a very good podcast it's very it's actually very good especially when a guest like steven wright is on it's hilarious but they both said 70 now steven wright has looked old for a while but i was like how he is 70 you know but he doesn't he also doesn't act but uh yeah i was i was thinking of that myself you know i don't i'm not one of those that says act your age just

do what you want to do you know we are red eye radio this morning's usda farm report is brought to you by house products tested trusted guaranteed since 1920 those that are getting involved in home canning as a food preservation technique for the first time may feel it's similar to cooking but as north dakota state university extension's julie garden robinson explains it is best to stick with canning recipes as written both to assure food safety and taste people like to make recipes

their own. Fine for cooking, but when you are canning, you're a scientist and there are some substitutions that are okay, but not a lot of substitutions. One example comes from a product

more canters are creating and preserving in recent years, salsa. If you like a hotter salsa,

you can change the type of pepper, but you can't alter the other ingredients. You can't add extra peppers, but you could make it hotter by choosing more jalapeno instead of bell peppers. Auditional

home canning tips, advice, and recipes are available through resources such as cooperative extension offices and websites. 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 Lubes. We'll be right back

Simply go to relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. You're going to connect with the team and they're going to get you back on track. And maybe soon we'll share

your story about Relief Factor. So what we noticed over the weekend was, okay, Democrats are coming out, you know, Van Jones, Bill Maher, but they've sort of been doing that now for a significant period of time saying where the democratic party is going and the democrat socialist of america is not the right place van jones was saying he's received so many calls from traditional democrats who won't themselves come out and say this is insane where we're going uh but here's where he started it this this is what he started on his i think his own podcast uh a while back that got

all this going but what does it have to do with supporting hamas what does it have to do with putting up candidates who say we should have no police no prisons we can't deport anybody even if they commit rape or murder israel shouldn't exist these are terrible ideas these are awful ideas

where did these ideas even come from so there you go uh and he said he's sick of uh of of uh the democratic party with their absolutely insane uh insane ideas i want to find the other one that was a short a couple of cuts with could you put it down please thank you the uh thank you so much uh trying to find what i wanted to to get here uh yeah here it is this is a clip of both van jones

and uh i believe bill maher here here we go i am tired tired tired of a set of people on the very far left in the democratic party ideas that are literally insane nutty moronic dangerous bigoted are not progressive. They're regressive and they should not be in our party.

I'm not living in communist America. I mean, I know the talking point is it's not communism, it's socialism. Okay, I've read the quotes from the DSA platform from their own mouths. Don't tell me I'm not seeing what I am seeing. They say things like, you know, take over of key industries, government. That's communism.

No, that's it. It's communism. And that's why we've said when the Republican Party sits quiet, when the president says, we're going to take equity in these companies and Republicans are quiet.

Yeah.

When Trump does that, you've got the Democrat Socialists of America. And I saw that happen over the – I forgot the Democrat that said that. They go, well, the president's doing it. The president's promoting taking equity. Of course we're going to use it. It's less than $30 billion, and he's not talking about the total takeover, but that's where you start. You open the door. Right. Government has no business being, you know, having equity in companies. None. Zero. Yep. But Van Jones wonders where this comes from. And he says, you know, I'm a strong Democrat with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooting for progressive ideals and policies, criminal justice reform, the Green New Deal, Medicare for all, free education, clean air and water. these are the ideas i fought for my entire life well the green new deal was communism yes that's the whole point yes he doesn't even know i will say this the one thing that if you've been paying attention since he has really come uh to be known van jones uh back when obama became president He was viewed as one of the top socialists in America, and now he's railing against socialism. When he talks about a couple of things here, when he talks about the fact that, you know, this is crazy, you know, deport no illegal immigrants. Well, excuse me, you've been a supporter of sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities have been going on for decades here in the United States, promoted by Democrats, and you never said a damn word till now.

Right.

Yeah. If you're sitting there saying, I can't believe that they don't want to deport one person, yet you've been supporting sanctuary cities, which is, again, believing that criminal illegal immigrants outside of the criminality of being in this country illegally. Other criminal acts, if you're defending the sanctuary city policies, don't get on your high horse and say, I don't believe they don't want to deport anyone. Well, if you don't want to deport criminal illegal immigrants and you don't believe that local governments or states should cooperate with the federal government in enforcing federal law to get criminal illegal immigrants out, shut up about others who say, well, we shouldn't have anybody that is kicked out of the country. Right. Because you're basically saying the same thing. Yes. And Medicare for all, you're taking the private sector out of the medical business completely. The Medicare for all is one of the dumbest things ever because we can't even do Medicare for some.

Some Medicare for some.

Yeah. We can't. Yeah. Well, what we do is some Medicare for some. Yeah. Because we all know we're of that age that when we go on Medicare full time, we're going to have to pay money. Yep. It doesn't cover everything. Right. There is no free health care, even under Medicare. And so when they say, well, Medicare for all, we can't do Medicare for some. We can do some Medicare for some, but we can't do Medicare for all. No. And so that's just ridiculous. And when it comes to where he said the bigoted ideas, excuse me, you've been promoting identity politics your entire damn career.

Yes.

there's nothing more bigoted than that right and so let let's let's be honest about van jones van jones realizes what he started has gone to a place he doesn't like yeah he wants to do a lot of what they want to do he doesn't want to sell it the way that they're selling well that's the

whole that's it that's a beautifully put because it is it is the rolling back let's and and and i kind of alluded to that in a comment a few weeks ago you know they're going to have to decide to roll it back on how they sell it right because it was up to this point boiling a frog slowly now if you're a fan of boiled frogs and man who isn't then you understand that you have to gradually implement it because you can't roll it back right the further you go little steps baby steps you can't roll it back well this new generation the dsa they have they don't want to they don't want to wait they're owning it now that's also part our fault we said own it and we said it for years i'm out and just say it and they have done it and you know there was the the mondani i won't say the mondani effect but the mondani election cycle where again the party itself was having to decide and you have too many i would consider i guess van guard is van guard van jones is part of the old guard he's not you know he's not new on the scene so you could see him as you know uh i don't know i'm not going to say past his prime that's wrong um but he's he's not new but the new democrats that are on the scene The ones who are quickly becoming household names and rising and that are on the rise, they're looking at this and they're saying, no, no, no, no, no. We absolutely must grab what we want, take what we want, and we have to tell people what we want. And they don't care about selling it. They believe in it. they believe it's right so they are already sold they just think other people that don't believe the way they believe are stupid and if they just repeat it enough i guess those people can be uh smarter along the way i don't i have no idea but they are sold on these ideas this is what they believe van jones is part of building all of that these democrats are part of building all of

that carville part of building all of that bill maher was a part of bill maher and and i'll say this where was where was bill maher on identity politics right because now he hates where they're going on identity politics he understands the racism of identity politics right van jones understands now the racism of of identity politics he said it it's bigoted well it all came from judging people as a group and not individual

It all came from the stereotyping when black, conservative blacks were being told over and over again. And Bill Maher was doing his old show and his new show. I didn't hear him coming out and stating this is racist. You're basically saying all blacks should think alike. Yeah. And there can't be anything more racist than that, that a black cannot have an individual thought process of their own skin color defines them. I didn't hear Bill Maher screaming about it when conservative blacks were being attacked by it. So a lot of the things that they believed was the pathway to the DSA right there. Now, you want to see the problem that the Democrats are facing. Make sure you have this volume a little bit up more because the volume isn't really loud. But I want to play it because it's anti-Semitic influencer Hassan Piker at this weekend's College Democrats of America convention. All right. You ready? All right. Declaring war on the Democratic Party. And he's in his Mao suit. He is in he's got he's wearing a suit that looks like it's a could be a communist China uniform. Wow. It's amazing. Here we go.

the democrats who compromise who conciliate and who betray us no more to the democrats who will collaborate and cooperate with the fascists who will fund ice who will fund israel who will help poison the planet who will stiff workers and help bosses we don't need those democrats anymore

we are coming there you go yep i mean they created it and now they're screaming where did this come from you helped create this exactly the james carvels helped create it the bill mars helped create it it's okay that they're recognizing it and doing it i'm glad they're doing it but understand where it came from and van jones really helped create it because we all know we've got long memories we on we remember when republicans went my god look at this socialist inside of the obama presidency well bill maher on the whole calling trump hitler thing yeah this is

building the fear against one man and he said it he said you know we called the other guys hitler bush and the other guys hitler this guy really is hitler i've never heard where he's reverse that or try to apologize for that if he did i missed it you're part of building it and then you say oh this has gone too far where did you think it was going it was always going

to go here and they're not done yet we are red eye radio lines open for your calls 866 90 red eye on red eye radio

we are what i'm radio he's ur crowley and i'm gary mcnamara welcome and good morning i want to play this audio cut this is the bill maher the full audio cut about him not living in a communist uh america okay and this was the interview with john uh jonathan carl yeah where he brings up trump and this is the point i was bringing up i didn't i couldn't remember who brought it up. It was Jonathan Karl. Here we go. You told J.D. Vance you're open. Your vote is up for grabs.

Yes. My vote is in play. Because it can't be Trump running. So, I'm not living in communist America. I mean, I know the talking point is, it's not communism, it's socialism. Okay, I've read the quotes from the DSA platform, from their own mouths. Don't tell me I'm not seeing what I am seeing. And DSA, again, they say things like, you know, takeover of key industries, government. That's communism. You know, there is a definition. By the way, Trump's doing that, too.

Now, the audio cut ends there from the Media Research Center, and they say, I'm not living in a communist country. Bill Maher says he's open to voting for J.D. Vance over a socialist Democrat in 2028. Jonathan Karl diverts the conversation to Trump. Unless you know what Jonathan Karl was saying, and you and I both know what he's saying. Yeah, right. is what he's saying is Trump is promoting and the Republicans cheer when he wishes to take equity in a company. That's where you start communism was the point Jonathan Karl was trying to bring up. He wasn't just diverting to Trump in general. It was the fact that, hey, you open the door. You don't open the door. Not that he favors Republicans in any way.
