12-16-25 Part Two - A Pricey Phone Call

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, with a person of interest released by police in Providence RI, a killer remains on the loose and decisions are now being made on resuming classes or not at Brown University and to reinstate a shelter in place for people in nearby neighborhoods. Investigators still have no credible leads in solving the case. Also Australian officials say the Bondi Beach shooters carried bombs and ISIS flags and had recently traveled to the Philippines, confirming the attack that killed 15 was ISIS-inspired. President Trump's post on Truth Social regarding the tragic death of director Rob Reiner was disappointing and mis-guided. The President clearly not connecting the dots as he accused the late actor of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome". Also a Rasmussen pollster challenges the President's remarks and promises that, according to him, remains undefined and unfulfilled.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, living in an era when activists of various stripes argue that, well, everything should have rights. Animals, nature, plants, the moon, rivers, AI/robots, you name it. Now, in Newsweek, the transhumanism popularizer and California gubernatorial candidate Zoltan Istvan argues that we should give robots rights so they will show mercy on us. Seriously.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Americans and patients in other countries compare health care from medication expenses to emergency care costs as health care reform is being legislated.

And yet, Congress is set to leave Washington in two weeks. While we suddenly have a number of plans to try to fix this problem, there is also Republican paralysis over which one they want. Only time will tell.
