Summary

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we are beginning to see reviews (good and bad) to Dana Perino's new book The Purple State. The book reads more as "delusional fiction" rather than fiction itself, creating a utopia/distopia as the characters are faced with adapting to an open-minded viewpoint to life and love, versus continuing embracing their dogmatic liberal belief system that mirrors today's leftist society. Also the War Powers Act and the latest on war on Iran, President Trump funds DHS, James Carville goes off the rails calling for the de-funding of the police, a look at the GDP and other economic news, the Big Beautiful Bill's tax cuts canceled out by import tariffs and at least 17 class action lawsuits filed by corporations who suffered tariff related losses. For more talk on the issues that matter to you, listen on radio stations across America Monday-Friday 12am-5am CT (1am-6am ET and 10pm-3am PT), download the RED EYE RADIO SHOW app, asking your smart speaker, or listening at RedEyeRadioShow.com.
