5/11/2026

5/8/2026
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as Artificial Intelligence begins to take over (everything), the drive-thru is no exception.

05-08-26 Part Two - AOC gets Stupider

5/8/2026
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes there is no legitimate way to “earn” $1 billion, so billionaires instead have to “create a myth” about how they made their money. While speaking on Ilana Glazer’s “It’s Open” podcast this week, the New York representative explained that, after a certain threshold, money is no longer well-earned. This underscores the greed and now stupidity of the radical left pointing their narrative at the concept of capitalism in this country. Also former NYC Mayor Eric Adams blasts Zohran Mamdani amid Ken Griffin spat: "Stop dividing our city by demonizing success" and secessionists in the western Canadian province of Alberta recently announced that they have gathered enough signatures to launch a referendum on independence from the rest of the country.

Greg Abbott to pull public safety grants. A local Islamic group had rented out the Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie for its annual Dallas-Fort Worth "Epic Eid" celebration on June 1. Governor Abbott blasted the event, calling the initial "Muslim only" policy "unconstitutional" and "religious discrimination. Also the internet erupts after California Dem Katie Porter on a debate stage admits quiet part out loud on immigration.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as fuel prices hit $4.39 in North Texas and higher in other states, we continue to focus on affordability as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to threaten the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday the U.S. will take the issue of Iran's attacks on commercial shipping to the United Nations. Rubio told reporters at a White House press briefing “If we live in a world where global shipping lanes can be taken over by countries, that will have a direct impact on Americans in the short and the long term, we're the only ones that can do anything about it,” he said.

5/6/2026
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, California is experiencing a notable corporate exodus with major firms relocating headquarters to states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona, driven by high taxes, excessive regulation, and extreme cost of living.

5/5/2026
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the fragile ceasefire with Iran faces its biggest threat to date as President Trump announced plans for U.S. forces to "guide" vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. blockade on Iranian ports will continue, with U.S. Central Command saying they have already redirected at least 49 ships.

05-05-26 Part Two - Betty Boop vs. The Swastika

5/5/2026
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we continue our discussion of Graham Platner's visit to the tattoo parlor, making the decision between (say) a Betty Boop tattoo on the ankle, or a Nazi swastika on the chest. He went with the latter and enjoys liberal immunity nonetheless. Also six Chicago area Walgreens have closed on the city's South Side during the past year. One alderman calls it pharmaceutical genocide. Walgreens says one location in Chatham is closing on June 4 because of high levels of theft and violent incidents. Protesters are calling it "corporate abandonment", a health scare for Rudy Guliani and funny headlines from the Babylon Bee.

05-01-26 Part One - The Purple State

5/1/2026
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we are beginning to see reviews (good and bad) to Dana Perino's new book The Purple State. The book reads more as "delusional fiction" rather than fiction itself, creating a utopia/distopia as the characters are faced with adapting to an open-minded viewpoint to life and love, versus continuing embracing their dogmatic liberal belief system that mirrors today's leftist society. Also the War Powers Act and the latest on war on Iran, President Trump funds DHS, James Carville goes off the rails calling for the de-funding of the police, a look at the GDP and other economic news, the Big Beautiful Bill's tax cuts canceled out by import tariffs and at least 17 class action lawsuits filed by corporations who suffered tariff related losses.

05-01-26 Part Two - Killing the Kill Switch

5/1/2026
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, cars getting shut down by the government is a fear going viral. Republicans are trying to stop the rule behind it. The push centers on a provision in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act requiring federal regulators to develop technology that can detect impaired driving in new vehicles, as well as prevent or limit operation when impairment is detected. The fight comes as lawmakers are already clashing over surveillance powers tied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), with privacy concerns driving divisions inside Congress.

4/30/2026
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson flippantly says "bye" to businesses who won't succumb to corporate taxes. Like California they are proactively driving out business and people. Also the Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down a voting map in Louisiana and with it dealt a blow to a landmark civil rights law and opened the door for other states to redraw their congressional maps in ways that could affect elections for years to come, California political ads turn personal and vicious, Rep. Ilhan Omar roasted online for a brutal resurfaced video of her misreading World War II as "World War Eleven", the latest on SCOTUS rulings on re-districting and the future of LIV Golf is entirely uncertain at this point, with reports suggesting that the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) is looking to pull the plug on funding the circuit sooner rather than later.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, LIV Golf's future is uncertain as reports suggest Saudi PIF may pull funding. This would leave LIV players searching for a new home and while it's likely that the PGA Tour will welcome some back and that opportunity is unlikely to be presented to all. Also thousands of hockey fans sing the Canadian anthem amid tensions between neighbor countries. Fans in Buffalo, only a few miles from Ontario, filled the silence when singer Cami Clune's microphone cut out at the start of a match Tuesday. A crowd of nearly 20,000 sang the lyrics. The vast majority were American – and knew all the words.
