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 Unidon, America Studios.

This is Red Eye Radio.

All across America, we are Red Eye Radio.

He's Eric Hurley, and I'm Gary McNamara.

Welcome and good morning.

Thanks so much for being here.

Now, I just, I want to call out Republicans that have been going after

Mandami for apparently going to a conference at a very, very fancy resort. Did you hear about this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's been a lot of criticism of him doing this. Now, I think this

criticism should stop because what they're trying to, what they're, the point

they're trying to make is somehow he's being a hypocrite because he is going to experience

the luxury and the riches that the common man cannot have.

And so this is evidence that he is not ideologically a communist. Well, I'm sorry to say

the Republicans are wrong. Go back and look at the history of the Soviet Union. The Politburo

went on vacation all the time to incredibly great guarded resorts in Crimea on the Black Sea.

Thanks in part to the oligarchs.

Right.

Well, oligarchs didn't exist yet.

Oligarchs didn't exist in the Soviet Union at that point.

That's true.
