11-19-25 Part One - The File Cabinet

11/19/2025
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as the Epstein files case begins to unravel, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., was ridiculed as "dishonest" and "sick" after arguing from the House floor that his former law school student and colleague was only "taking a phone call from her constituent" when she was texting disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 House hearing. Republicans on Tuesday, led by Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., introduced a resolution to censure Plaskett for "inappropriate coordination with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein," which it says "reflects discreditably on the House of Representatives." The House voted 427-1 to open the files. Also voters blame the GOP for healthcare increases, a close look at the cost of living increases and a breakdown of populous by city of children under the age of five.

11-19-25 Part Two - The Lines of Texas are Upon You

11/19/2025
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, a panel of three federal judges on Tuesday blocked Texas from using a new congressional map drawn by Republicans in hopes of securing the party additional seats in the 2026 midterm elections, ruling 2-1 that the map in question appeared to constitute an illegal, race-based gerrymander. The matter now goes to the Supreme Court. Also President Trump has given new insight as to when Americans could expect to receive $2,000 dividend checks funded by the country's tariff revenue. On Nov. 17, Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office and shared that "individuals of moderate income" could expect dividends in the middle of 2026.

11/18/2025
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Gov. Kathy Hochul thought endorsing Zohran Mamdani would win over his supporters; instead, they’re now threatening to oust her if she doesn’t cave to their demands. Oops. If Hochul blocks tax hikes on the rich to fund “universal childcare,” warned state Sen. Jabari Brisport at a “Tax the Rich” rally Sunday, “she has to go.” Also, affordability is still the GOP's priority, plus much more!

11/14/2025
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we start with audio from AOC making up a story about people becoming disenchanted with FOX News and "slowly realizing that their eyes are being opened to real information". Sort of like coaxing a Jedi to the dark side of The Force with a false fantasy.

11-13-25 Part One - Back In Business

11/13/2025
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, President Donald Trump signed legislation to fund the government again putting an end to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Trump signaled Monday the government would open soon, as consequences of a lapse in funding continued to snowball, including missed paychecks for federal workers and airline delays stemming from air traffic controller staffing shortages. The bill keeps funding the government at the same levels during fiscal year 2025 through Jan. 30 to provide additional time to hash out a longer appropriations measure for fiscal year 2026. Also the shutdown was never about healthcare for Democrats, audio from Chip Roy on why Democrats held out for so long, the politics of the shutdown and what's gonna happen to Chuck Schumer and hours after the White House accused congressional Democrats of selectively leaking Jeffrey Epstein emails Wednesday, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee made public tens of thousands of additional pages of documents, including emails between the late sex trafficker and prominent reporters.

11-13-25 Part Two - A Global Warning

11/13/2025
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, get ready for a new Ice Age. Microsoft founder Bill Gate's logic is that the climate “doomsday” perspective is, thankfully, wrong, and climate change will not lead to our demise. This doomsday perspective means we prioritize short term emissions goals instead of reducing poverty and disease. Also the debate on tariffs continue, Trump and Vance have slight disagreement on immigration and should illegal immigrants hold a CDL to be truck drivers.

The incident happened at an event celebrating Tuesday’s passage of Proposition 50 in California which allows pols to redistrict the state and potentially eliminate five Republican congressional seats. Also audio from Jasmine Crockett saying Iranians are "nice people" and won't fly planes into buildings anymore, the liberal mindset of coddling Islamic terrorists and home-grown assassins and the legalization of THC based edibles.

11-12-25 Part Two - The Word of the Year

11/12/2025
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the word of the year should not be "six-seven" but rather "affordability". Obamacare has failed as expected and has left Democrats with a government healthcare structure that they don't want to pay for. Also the government should get out of the mortgage business and when the government figures are released on inflation, the public already knows.

11/11/2025
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we now know who to blame for the government shutdown. The Democrats! We know this because they are furious the government is about to resume business. The good news is the shutdown stalemate that has dragged on in the Senate officially ended late Monday night and it places Congress on a path to reopen the government later this week. Senators advanced a bipartisan funding package to end the government shutdown after a group of Senate Democrats broke from their colleagues and joined Republicans in their bid to reopen the government. Also audio from Speaker Mike Johnson officially announcing the reopening, the media's response to ending the shutdown and myths about inflation. Also the socialist mindset defers healthcare costs to future generations and affordability wins with voters in Texas.

11/10/2025
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the Senate took a massive step forward on its way to reopening the government on Sunday with a group of Senate Democrats caving and joining Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown.

11-06-25 Part Two - Tariffs Under Interrogation

11/6/2025
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Justice Amy Coney Barrett had pointed questions Wednesday about the law Donald Trump invoked to impose global tariffs, joining several other justices on the right and left in voicing skepticism about the president’s ability to use a tool he has deemed critical to carrying out his economic agenda. Solicitor General John Sauer repeatedly argued during the lengthy 2½-hour oral arguments that the emergency law Trump used to enact the tariffs for nearly every U.S. trading partner contained language about regulating imports, which Sauer said included using tariffs. The relevant statute permits the president to "regulate … nullify [and] void … importation," but it does not use the word "tariff."
