Summary

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Gary flies solo this morning as Eric takes some time off. We begin this hour with Sen. Chuck Schumer calling for FIFA to cover the full rail cost for New Yorkers attending the World Cup as NJ Transit train ticket prices are set for $150 to get to MetLife Stadium for matches. Schumer released a statement on Sunday calling on FIFA to pay the full fair which is astronomically higher than the regular cost to travel from Penn Station to the Meadowlands, while understanding that "FIFA is set to rake in approximately $11 billion in revenue off the tournament while New York fans are being hit with $150 NJ Transit round-trip tickets to get to the game." MetLife Stadium will host eight matches during the World Cup, including the final on July 19. The usual price is $12.90 for the Meadowlands train from Penn Station, but it will rise to $150 beginning June 13 and ending July 19. Also Harvard's grade inflation experiment gets an "F", Bill Maher confronts Rahm Emanual on education, Democrats need a white man to "sell" their insanity, former astronaut Mark Kelly uses his "space credentials" to get his point across on school vouchers and Eric Swalwell's frivolous spending of campaign dollars.

0:52.2	McNamara. I'm here.
1:15.5	And just happen to see this here. Just scanning during the top of the hour. And I thought it was really interesting because this is from a Democrat, former advisor to Bill Clinton. Former advisor to Bill and Hillary Clinton. Iran's schizophrenia, too. As was suggested, Iran's leadership has splintered and is typical, which is as is typical when the top leadership is gone.
1:23.3	The old revolutionary fundamentalist leadership was taken out and you have some who want to make a deal,
1:30.1	and then you have the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which should not be confused with the Mullas.
1:41.1	They are just plain old military dictators who have the guns and think that they
1:46.3	will be thrown overboard in any deal. They either have to preserve some power in a deal or be
1:53.0	decisively defeated. Likelihood is that there will be another round of fighting here, but nothing
