10-29-26 Part One - The Alaska Senate Scandal
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we begin with the Alaska Senate scandal. Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, told Fox News that Democrats will do "anything" to gain power while addressing reports that the campaign of his Democratic challenger Mary Peltola secretly participated in a months-long process to recruit people with his name to run in the Alaska U.S. Senate race. The New York Times reported Wednesday that Peltola’s campaign, as well as senior aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, carried out the alleged election scheme in hopes that voters would be confused by two Dan Sullivans and therefore draw support from the incumbent Republican senator. "This is a scandal at the highest order," Sen. Sullivan said during an interview on "Hannity" Wednesday. Also audio from Mary Peltola from a year ago defying voter corruption / audio from Jake Tapper interviewing a reporter in the case implicating Mary Peltola as being involved in the scheme / and an emergency was declared at a South Carolina nuclear site after a fire erupts the Savannah River National Laboratory.

10-28-26 Part Two - Improving Social Security
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano said "eliminating fraud, waste and abuse" is the "first solution" to protecting the retirement program as concerns persist over its long-term finances. During an appearance on "Big Money in the Morning," Bisignano discussed efforts to improve agency records, modernize operations and safeguard the program. The comments come as Social Security faces a longstanding funding challenge. The program relies primarily on payroll taxes to pay benefits, while its trust funds help cover the difference when costs exceed incoming revenue. Also voters are tiring of Gavin Newsom, yet may not really want change / the latest Democratic polls put Kamala Harris at the top of the list / and Democratic voters overall just don't know who to vote for.

10-23-26 Part One - Ilhan Omar is a Fraud
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Marconi award winning radio host Dan Mandis fills in for the guys this week and we begin by trying to indentify the real Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar is not the "real name" of the Minnesota congresswoman. Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, according to two people familiar with the ongoing investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman, including a law enforcement source. And if proven in court that Omar has lived her "entire life under an alias," a former Minnesota federal immigration judge tells Fox News Digital that every single form she ever filled out could be "called into question." President Trump is calling for her resignation. DNA results are still pending. Also an illegal alien with former DACA status is accused in an Iwo Jima statue attack / Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow says a fake polling ‘experiment’ hurt her campaign and eroded voter trust / the Amy Acton political ad is going viral / and the latest between Ukraine and Russia.

10-23-26 Part Two - Ukrainian Strikes are Crippling Russian Diesel
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Marconi award winning radio host Dan Mandis fills in for the guys this week and we discuss the Russian diesel deal. Ukraine’s drone strikes on Russian refineries have grown to such a scale, reach and effectiveness that they have crippled the world’s second-largest diesel exporter. The Ukrainians are regularly launching swarms of drones that number in the hundreds. They are also striking refineries much deeper in Russian territory. Kyiv learned to target complex refinery equipment that is harder to repair and diesel prices have surged due to the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Also the latest from CNN's Harry Enton on how Democrats are doing in the polls / President Trump continues to promise $5,000 to each voter if the GOP maintains control of the House and Senate after the mid terms / and Elon Musk invests $1bn in CNN-owner Skydance.

10-22-26 Part One - Political Ads, Omar and the WNBA
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Marconi award winning talk show host Dan Mandis fills in for the guys this week and we begin tonight with a political ad that hits below the belt. Vice President JD Vance, during a rally in Cincinnati on Wednesday, praised Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for having the "audacity" to cut a controversial ad featuring his Democratic opponent Amy Acton's estranged mother calling her daughter a "liar" -- a move that has sparked bipartisan backlash. The ad, which circulated on social media late Monday, shows Acton's long-estranged mother, Donna Arthur, saying that she loves her daughter but that "Amy has a serious problem" and has lied about her past and her struggles growing up. The ad came nearly two weeks out from the high-stakes midterm elections where Ohio is home to not only a gubernatorial race, but also key Senate and House races that could determine the balance of power in Congress. Also Rep. Ilhan Omar dismissed longstanding allegations that she married her brother for immigration purposes as "insane" during a Wednesday interview, while saying she was unaware of any familial relationship with her former husband. "Not to my knowledge," Omar told MS NOW's Chris Hayes when asked whether there was any "weird kernel of truth" to allegations involving her ex-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. The Trump administration has ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia as deadly Houthi attacks intensify across the kingdom, raising the stakes as President Trump weighs direct military action against the Iran-backed group / and Enes Freedom leaves WNBA Finals after sparring with police over seating change amid security concerns.

10-21-26 Part One - Trump's Trope
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Marconi award winning radio host Dan Mandis fills in for the guys this week and we begin with something the President said. President Trump used an antisemitic slur Monday in defending Sen. Roger Marshall after an article said he sued hundreds of patients over unpaid debts when he was a practicing physician. Speaking at a campaign rally in Kansas, Trump said the reporting made Marshall, who is not Jewish, out to be “some kind of a shylock-type guy,” using a term widely recognized as offensive toward Jewish people. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump’s remarks. Also Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. has not been seen in public since a pre-dawn raid of her Washington, D.C. residence last week — but Fox News Digital spotted her daughters descending on the home in recent days / Trump may drop the "mother of all bombs" on Iran / indoctrination in Mississippi / Pete Hegseth will meet with Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Iran / and Democrats likely at actually back Iran in winning the war.

10-20-26 Part One - Omar in Deep DNA
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Marconi award winning talk show host Dan Mandis fills in for the guys this week and we begin tonight with Ilhan Omar's investigation. The federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home prompted warnings Wednesday from a conservative watchdog leader that more revelations could be coming, as the Minnesota Democrat faces separate investigations involving her immigration records and financial disclosures. Oversight Project President Mike Howell, whose group pushed to strip a $1.031 million earmark backed by Omar, says the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) search raises broader questions about congressional accountability and what investigators may uncover next. Also as images of burning cars and historic buildings in France and Italy ricochet across Europe, leaders in Hungary and Poland are seizing the moment, not to address the unrest, but to redefine the migration debate / audio from President Trump reprimanding France for not closing their borders to criminals / Abdul El Sayed under fire for his loyalty to the Muslim brotherhood / and both WNBA teams sprint off the court before the National Anthem begins in the playoff games.
