08-05-26 Part One - National Debt nears 40 Trillion

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as the U.S. Total Public Debt Outstanding approaches $40 trillion and concern grows about its long-term fiscal trajectory—and the risks it poses to America’s long-term economic strength and national security—the U.S. Debt Forum today introduced its Congressional National Debt Clocks, a new educational resource that allows Americans to find their federal representatives and see how our national debt changed during the tenure of presidents, vice presidents, members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Gary expands on this by giving some examples of the debt to income ratio for most Americans. Also Stevens, El-Sayed battle in Michigan in a race that could help determine control of the chamber / Mamdani's "loyalty card" / DSA member Francesca Hong defends her call to ‘cancel Thanksgiving,’ but says ‘views can evolve’ / US Special Operations deals with low intensity conflict with the Mullahs / and audio from ESPN's Stephen A Smith saying Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve hurt WNBA with trans shirt controversy.
