05-06-26 Part One - The High Cost of War May 06, 2026

Show notes

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.

Also audio from Marco Rubio on the unconstitutionality of the War Powers Act and from journalist Mark Halperin on where we stand with Iran, a federal law mandating ‘kill switches’ in vehicles remains intact and various audio from California Gubernatorial candidates blaming high prices in their state on President Trump.

05-06-26 Part Two - Greed in the Golden State May 06, 2026

Show notes

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. While California remains a top tech hub, the Wall Street Journal says this trend has seen over 700 companies leave from 2011 to 2021. We point out the greed that remains apparent in the current race for Governor.

Also Mark Cuban changes his mind on the "college bubble" and the guys share life experiences on the importance of education.

Show notes

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. The British military’s maritime trade center reported an attack on a trade vessel by multiple small craft just 11 miles off Iran's coast in the strait on Sunday. Iran's military has vowed to attack any U.S. forces that enter the strait.

Also maintaining allied agreement to finish the war, how the mid-terms will effect the outcome of the war, the assassination conspiracy theory of Jesse Ventura, weighing the odds against the possibilites of UFOs, Bigfoot and traveling to Mars, Elizabeth Warren makes apology for Graham Platner and his Nazi tattoo and the liberal's hatred for women and "happy Nazis".

Show notes

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.

Show notes

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, ridden by Jose Ortiz, Golden Tempo navigated past 17 other horses around the final turn and made a hard charge down the stretch.

05-01-26 Part One - The Purple State May 01, 2026

Show notes

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 May 01, 2026

Show notes

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.

04-30-26 Part One - The Corporate Tax Exodus Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

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.

04-30-26 Part Two - LIV Golf and O' Canada Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

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.
