04-10-26 Part Two - The Democratic Dilusion

4/10/2026
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the left continues to favor Sharia law in support of Iran despite President Trump's plan to inialate the evil regime. Also the Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a self-described "progressive" candidate’s bid to enter Ohio’s Republican primary, leaving in place a decision by state election officials to disqualify him for misrepresenting his party affiliation. Samuel Ronan, a former Democratic state and national candidate, attempted to run as a Republican in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District against GOP incumbent Rep. Mike Carey. To do so, he signed a declaration of candidacy — under penalty of election falsification — swearing he was a member of the Republican Party. And NATO’s chief signaled Thursday that European allies may move to help secure the Strait of Hormuz following talks with President Trump — even as the White House declared the alliance had already "failed" and was not being asked to assist. Secretary-General Mark Rutte, speaking at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute in Washington a day after meeting Trump at the White House, pointed to a potential coalition effort among allied nations to keep the critical waterway open.

4/9/2026
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, President Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday.

The President posted on Truth Social that U.S. military would be on standby until a “REAL AGREEMENT” with Iran is secured. “All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with,” Trump wrote.

04-08-26 Part Two - One Last Liberal Patriot

4/8/2026
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we learn of The Liberal Patriot closing their doors due to lack of donations from the Democratic base. Ruy Teixeira's final post referenced the Democrats’ catastrophic defeat in the 2024 election and the obvious need for serious party-wide change, “Is Our Democrats Learning?” At the time, he saw little evidence that Democratic learning was, in fact, taking place. Posing this question again in early spring 2026, Democrats continue not to learn. If anything, they are increasingly adamant that such learning is not even necessary. - Exerpt from The Liberal Patriot, March 26, 2026. Also a NY Post article on technology called "the ghost murmur" the CIA used to locate the downed military service member shot down over Iran last week and the ceasefire's positive forecast for global and US stocks on today's trading.

4/7/2026
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Pakistan has proposed a two-stage plan to end the US-Israel war on Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz with both sides now mulling the framework. Axios first reported on Sunday that the US, Iran and regional mediators were discussing a potential 45-day ceasefire as part of a “two-phased deal” that could lead to a permanent end to the war.

4/6/2026
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, in what President Trump called "one of the most daring search and rescues in US history", a Pentagon official warns Tehran the Airman's rescue shows the US can penetrate enemy territory 'anywhere' in Iran. Former Pentagon official Brent Sadler said "Not only can we rescue our pilots, but we can also go to where we need to secure nuclear equipment or the remainders of their leadership." Sadler's comments come after the rescue of a U.S. Air Force weapons system officer (WSO) early Sunday morning local time after roughly 36 hours in hiding.

03-30-26 Part One - Patching Up DHS

3/30/2026
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, House Republicans passed a short-term funding patch for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the fierce objections of Democratic lawmakers late Friday evening. But the 42-day shutdown that has snarled air travel and left tens of thousands of federal employees without pay is far from over. House lawmakers voted 213-203, largely along party lines, to approve a two-month funding extension for the beleaguered department, which has been operating without full-year appropriations since the funding lapse began on Feb. 14. A Senate proforma session resumes later today. Also the "No Kings" protests over the weekend proved to be nothing more than entertainment for Republicans, audio from CNN's Scott Jennings on the left's financing these rallies, the "Obama Chant Fight Song" deifying the former President and proving disingenuous to the "No Kings" message, Dems want a "straight white Christian man" for their Presidential nominee and an historic profile of the men Democrats have chosen to represent their party.
