In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation Wednesday designed to increase transparency, accountability, and fiscal discipline in local government while supporting ongoing efforts to provide property tax relief for Florida homeowners. Senate Bill 4-F strengthens safeguards against local property tax increases and serves as the implementation bill accompanying the proposed constitutional amendment known as Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes, which will be considered by voters in November. This DOGE like maneuver should set the tone for other states to clean up their local coffers. Also the jury is still out on the definition of a woman, that according to the WNBA. They are still having meetings to make that determination .

08-14-26 Part Two - The Future of Social Security
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, many retirees on fixed incomes already struggle to keep pace with inflation. and if Congress doesn't take action to address Social Security's looming insolvency, the situation could soon become dire. The primary Social Security trust fund from which retirement and survivor benefits are paid — the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, or OASI, fund — is now forecast to be depleted by 2032, one year earlier than last year's estimate. Projections pin the 75-year shortfall at $30 trillion. According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, the revised timeline is the result of changes enacted in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. If a solution isn't found before 2032, benefits for future and existing recipients are expected to be reduced dramatically.

08-13-26 Part Two - The WNBA's Definition of a Woman
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, The WNBA's top brass says only women can play in the league, but its 400-plus-page agreement never defines the term "woman". Turns out, the answer is .. wait for it..more meetings. The WNBA convened a task force to figure out what a woman is, emerged without an answer, scheduled more meetings to keep figuring it out, then scolded everyone else for the "hate and vitriol" surrounding the debate. Somewhere in all these meetings is WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, who runs a women's league that still can't settle on who qualifies as a woman. Quite the predicament.
