In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, President Trump’s new ⁠executive order targeting flag⁠ burning drew rare criticism from conservatives and directs the attorney general to prosecute violations of laws involving flag desecration and to pursue litigation that would clarify the scope of the First Amendment. Also audio from Texas Governor Greg Abbott explaining how the state of Texas is the least taxed state in the union. President Trump says he won't take over Chicago and other high-crime cities as he did in Washington DC with audio from Chicago's mayor, audio from Laura Inghram as President Trump opens the door to 600,000 Chinese students allowed into the U.S. to study at colleges amid ongoing trade talks with China and no tariff checks issued (sorry). Also a description of the 1989 ruling on Texas vs. Johnson describing free speech and burning the American flag, the Democrats hold their summer DNC meeting in Minneapolis rife with hate speech and Cracker Barrel releases a statement underscoring their homestyle menu and down-home atmosphere, yet not backing down from thier woke agenda (uncle Herschel we miss you already).
