    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we begin by recognizing the accomplishments of President Trump in his two terms in office, particularly in the second term by fixing all the Biden administration had destroyed. Some of his ideas and efforts never materialized, but his war efforts and international relations are unprecedented. As the GOP suffered a massive blow last night, we discuss what happened and how Republicans can galvanize their coalition moving forward. Also how the economy and affordability impacted Americans during Trump's second term / how the GOP can rebound in the next two years / populist economics split the Republican party / recovering from the blue wave and how to move the party forward / legalizing marijuana now that Texas is blue / an op-ed by Jim Garrity on the President's obsession with minutia and White House aesthetics / and the tribal effect on the President's base.

    11-05-26 Part Two - Trump's Delusional Comments

    In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we wrap up our election autopsy by observing President Trump's delusional statements coming off the mid term losses. The "sore loser" comments reflect an attitude that have concerned us as he has served the office and how it has effected his voter base. We recognize it's part of his unique personality that has been somewhat enjoyable and greatly appreciate all of his effective actions, yet wincing at some of the comments made out of frustration or anger. Our wish is for the President to maintain his dignity and not be demonized for an off-beat narrative. Also the political idolatry of past Presidents / audio from comedian Jim Breuer being willfully ignorant / and how our listeners respond and cope with the mid term losses.

    11-04-26 Part One - A Blue Tsunami Blankets the Nation

    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as we break down election results, our greatest concerns have come true en masse. Democrats have seized the House majority and will control the lower chamber of Congress for the final two years of President Trump's term. An unprecedented blue wave saw Democrats pull off stunning upsets in both battleground House districts and areas considered safe red seats. The GOP suffered major losses in four key groups: Hispanic voters, young voters, independents and rural Americans. Final numbers will be tallied in the next few days / control of the Senate is expected to shift to the DNC, following major victories including Troy Jackson's defeat of longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine and James Talarico's win over Ken Paxton in Texas / President Trump stressed Tuesday night that he plans to use the "power of veto" to block Democrat-backed legislation / and once seated, Democrats will waste no time in attempting to undo all that President Trump has accomplished.
