Now it's Red Eye Radio, Gary McNamara and Eric Harley talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day.

Whether you're up late or you're just starting your day, welcome to the show from the Uniden America Studios.

This is Red Eye Radio.

All across America, we are Red Eye Radio.

He is Eric Carly, and I'm Gary McNamara.

Good morning.

Here we are on a Monday.

Yeah. Comedian Jay Leno called the, or called the

assassination of Trump turning point founder Charlie Cook, Kirk, excuse me, the death of free speech

during an interview Wednesday denouncing the fatal shooting. It's not a random thing. I mean,

it's the death of free speech.

To think that you are so illiterate and so stupid that you can't answer verbally and you have to

shoot somebody with a gun to win an argument is just ridiculous. He said, when I was in school,

lively debate was unbelievable to have the SDS, the students for a Democratic society.

Oh my gosh. Now we're really way going back. Debate somebody else, Leno continued. I can remember when James Baldwin debated William Buckley at Oxford. It was just fascinating.

This is a political assassination of a man who I didn't necessarily agree with, but I certainly

enjoyed listening to because, oh, I didn't know that.

Oh, okay, I don't have to agree with you on everything, but I learned something new.

I mean, we're at the point in this country where if you don't agree with everybody

on everything, you take out a gun and you shoot them, especially on a college campus.

You know the thing about Leno, though? He always goes around the edges without fully explaining

things to you.
