06-05-26 Part One - A Gestational Gamechanger
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, a bill surrounding state child custody and parental laws passed the State Assembly and Senate this week and now heads to the governor's desk. The legislation would replace gender-specific terms like "mother," "father," and "paternity" used in places like family court with terms like "parentage," "gestating parent," and "non-gestating parent." The bill aims to make custody law more inclusive for LGBTQ+ parents and families who use assisted reproduction or surrogacy. Also media outlets confirm Graham Platner is very aware and very proud of his Nazi tattoo, the latest fallout from Scott Pelley's firing from CBS, Republicans should take advantage of the incorrect vote count in California, polls indicate the lowest approval rating for President Trump, and former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton will plead guilty to retaining classified information.

06-05-26 Part Two - Video Killed the Radio Star
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the guys discuss a recent interview with Classic Rock Star and Producer Todd Rundgren on Billy Corrigan's 'Masterclass' podcast. Todd delved into his recent observations on music trends and music consumption by age and gender and how his recent work as a producer focuses more on gaming than anything else. Also Graham Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, appeared Thursday night in his first interview since a New York Times report about his treatment of several women he had dated, denying one woman’s account that he had physically harmed her and saying he would not drop out of the race. In a nearly 25-minute appearance on MS Now’s “All In With Chris Hayes,” Platner said that he would “absolutely” take responsibility for elements of his personal history. He described a history of self-medicating, and a pattern of “not exactly acting with the best behavior” after his service in the military. And the "Scott Pelley problem".

06-04-26 Part One - Rubio's Shoes
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Wednesday's House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing "a circus" after Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif., questioned him about a pair of shoes he received as a gift from President Donald Trump. The exchange came after Jacobs criticized Rubio's testimony regarding the recent conflict with Iran, arguing that he was unwilling to acknowledge facts. The exchange came amid a combative hearing in which Democratic lawmakers repeatedly challenged Rubio over the Trump administration's handling of foreign policy, including the recent conflict with Iran. Also Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass advances to November runoff as she seeks second term, audio from Brit Hume on the firing of Scott Pelley, analyzing the subtle bias of '60 Minutes', and interviewers asking the wrong questions.

06-04-26 Part Two - The War Powers Act 101
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the House for the first time Wednesday approved a war powers resolution that would halt the U.S. military action against Iran, defying President Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long conflict that has reordered politics at home and abroad. Going back to the rulebook, we are reminded that these resolutions are non-binding and will never ultimately trump Trump's power as President in this matter. Also a "Commie-Nazi Update" with audio from a CNN commentator defining the antisemitism of Graham Platner, and alienating the alien news!

06-02-26 Part One - Bad Ink
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we begin with more fallout from Graham Platner's infamous Nazi tattoo, fueled now by his "sexting" scandal. Audio from MSNOW and NPR indicates Dems are beginning to realize the gravity of what this man truly represents to his party. Also President Trump’s May 2025 executive orders have resulted in a productive year for nuclear power, audio from Senator Chris Murphy in 2024 on 'Face The Nation' lying about the impact of the Biden administration, and Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host Al Hunt agreed last Thursday that Texas’ Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico needs to walk back his past comments if he wants to win in the Lone Star State.

06-02-26 Part Two - The Murder of 60 Minutes
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, veteran correspondent Scott Pelley has accused CBS News executive Bari Weiss of ‘murdering’ 60 Minutes. “She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that,” Pelley said of his boss at a heated meeting Monday. Pelley reportedly deplored the “catastrophic” changes Weiss has made to the “CBS Evening News,” a show he hosted from 2011 to 2017. Also audio from Scott Pelly breaking down an interview with former Acting Direcor of the FBI Andrew McCabe discussing what we have come to know as the Russian hoax, and hilarious headlines from the Babylon Bee.
