Ingrid and in Died present, Jobs at which you don't have a lot of love.
Today, I'm sorry. What do you mean?
I don't know what to say.
What is that? It's a shame. A lot of fiction. There's a lot of fun. It's all right.
Ingrid! This is a job for Sponsor Jobs. With real profits, it won't happen. Petraoing Griead, try Died.
“And find a qualified talent with Sponsor Jobs.”
Mark the indeed einfach, yet off in Died.de/recruiting. All across America. We are runny radio. He is there. Carlton.
I'm Gary McNamara. Hi. Good morning. How are you? Just quick.
I wanted to mention this because it's been a tough 5 weeks, a great friend of mine, somebody who I trusted a lot, passed away yesterday morning and did it just before I got to the hospital room. Now, he's been seriously ill for the last 5 weeks. And it was, you know, we were there all weekend and it was, you know, Sunday where
they decided hospice was going to happen this week. And it's really interesting because a great guy, Mike Sipriani, sip we called him, head of the Buffalo Bill's Backers of DFW and just to, I mean, build so many relationships
“that he has, you know, and there's, I think there's three different bars where they go”
to.
And just a great guy always, you know, one of his favorite scenes was, you know, we're
from Buffalo. We root for the bills, but we live here. And so we get involved in charities here to help the local community. Yeah. Just the sweetest guy you would ever want to meet the most passionate guy, love talk radio.
Didn't call me as much as independent Bob on it, but he would call. And last few years, you know, we didn't, we didn't get together as, as much, you know, the show interferes a lot with me as I've talked about before, you know, watching football and things like that. But we would constantly communicate and we had planned to get together just before
he went in the hospital. We had planned to get together to have lunch and then maybe watch one of the preseason games. Unfortunately, he got really, really sick. We've known it.
“It's been bad for a long time, but I, right when I got to the, the hospital yesterday morning,”
and we've been trying to alternate his, you know, his friends here because all of his family is in New York. Yeah, right. And, you know, they've been down, but it's, you know, tough going back and forth. And then it was Sunday where they made the decision for hospice.
And it's strange because it was the first time in my life. And it was interesting because one of the other people that were there with me, we walked out in the hallway. They were doing something. And she said, I want him to go now while we're here.
And I said, my God, I had that same thought and I never had that thought before.
I've never said, I hope somebody dies now because everybody was there with him. And he was sort of conscious. He would squeeze my hand and, you know, you know, tell my love and, you know, squeeze my hand and stuff like that. So you knew you were communicating with him.
And she walked in because he wasn't in. He didn't, in fact, he didn't, he didn't want to eat. He didn't want the feeding tube. You know, that's how sick. The prognosis, you know, because of the organ failure, there was no positive prognosis at
all. Yeah. You know, a fort. But she, you know, said, if I bring you apple pie, you know, we, and the day before. And he went, oh, yeah, yeah.
And so brought it in that Sunday and she said, I brought in the apple, brought in the apple pie and he went, oh, you know, there was a best reaction that we had gone from him the entire day, but just a super sweet human being. So I went in right after, I got in just a couple minutes after and they had taken out the time I got there, they'd taken out all the tubes and everything else, so I, you know,
held his hands that are prayer, um, make sure that his family knew, uh, and then started making calls to, uh, to, uh, to friends and, you know, and, in between that just, you know, same prayers, um, you know, uh, for him. And it's weird how you think, 'cause I've been numb all day, there were people said if you grieved yet and I said, I've been numb, it's just, you know, it's like a, it's
a real, you know, it's, it's like you're living it, it's like you're watching a TV show or something like you're set behind it. Maybe that's the protection, you know, the protection, uh, when you call it, uh, that you're,
Your instinct or physiology gives you, so you can get done what you need to g...
but the only thing I did was I felt that during my, after my brother's past, my sister
and I both did, 'cause after I learned that my brother had passed immediately after I learned, I, you know, I didn't think I was going to be able to pull it together to do the tasks, yeah, that I needed to do for my mom and dad, so they wouldn't have to do them. And my sister was involved and she's done, uh, most of the heavy lifting, but I was, you know, I, I thought, I don't know how I'm going to get there and, you know, I prayed a lot in the
two-hour drive and I got there in four days, you know, I was able to get through that, you know, and, and you're, because you're going through, I was going through his house, going through his belongings, and going through, we're still going through properties and things and, and records and, and basically his life, we're learning things about his life that, you know, most people don't share, they're not, they're not going to tell you, you know, well, I bought
this house on this day and then, you know, here's how much I paid for it or here's when I moved in and, and that kind of thing and you learn about things that you didn't know before and, but you, that numbness, you know, kind of, I think it is a protective mechanism.
I think God for it, uh, you know, you're, you're right because things always need to have
“be done, you need to communicate with people and, yeah.”
And so when I was, you know, after about 90 minutes, you know, they come in, because basically it's two hours and then they, you know, want to clean, clean them up and then you take them down to the morning. Right. I said the thought, the thought came in my mind, I said, I just didn't want him to be
alone and he's a veteran, so proud of serving, he was so proud of serving this country. And I said, can I make a request? Would you be okay with this? I said, can I basically escort the gurney with the body down to as far as I can go before you go to the morgue?
I go, I just feel like I need to do that as if it's my own little personal honor guard for him. I said, yeah, and I'm so glad I did that because when I posted it on Facebook and then I told the family about it, you know, I'd love to message to his brother and they just,
“you know, they were so appreciative because that's what you think if your family and”
you can't be there, you know, we're the proper things, you know, done and I could, you know, give them that, you know, solace, I guess that, yeah, it was, you know, but it's interesting in, you know, the, the older we get the more we learn about our mortality, right? Yeah.
Yeah. And a family member of ours passed away just days after my brother. And he was in a nursing home. And he called for one of the nurses in the middle of the night and he said, can you only out to the main living room area where people in the nursing home would gather and can
you sit with me there. She says, why? He says, because I'm going to die and I don't want to die alone. Wow. Then sure enough, he did a Reagan passed away probably 45 minutes later and he knew.
And it had been a long time coming, but he knew.
“And there's, again, I think God for those moments where they, you know, at least had”
someone and those people, those professional caretakers, you're amazing. Well, I want to, I want to say this, you know, because people talk about private hospitals, versus public hospitals. And this is JPS and Fort Worth, Texas, yeah. And this has been observing and talking to all the doctors and really, you know, the
family's been out, but they've been out a few times, you know, since he's been sick and really care about him. But, you know, when they go back, it's been my friend Paul and his wife Patty, I mean, he was the point person. So when I especially, you know, during the week, we could all go to weekend, but during
the week, we tried to, okay, somebody's got to be there, you know, every day and I would
sit there and then, you know, call him, here's what I see, whatever, here's what the
doctors told me, whatever, and at first, you know, they're a little wary because, you know, who are you, then they finally realized it's okay and Mike did at that point, say, yes, you can tell them. Right. And it's like, look, we're the point people for the family, you know, and we get the
information back to them, but JPS Hospital, I cannot say enough about them. I don't want to go to the specifics, but I knew, and I've talked to you about it off the air. Yeah. I knew what the problem was, you know, I knew what, you know, what it was and what could
be done and what could not be done. And really, from day one, because day one, when I got there, when we found out about it, he had a cardiac arrest.
I was not optimistic for the last five weeks.
The doctors, and I'll say this because of my dad, my dad being 100 years old, I mean,
“he did walk in last time to the emergency room at a hospital in suburban Buffalo, and”
they basically said, he's 100 years old, this isn't survivable, you know, and my sisters
said, well, it has to be done, and they will this, and they go, that's not, what are you talking about? That's just giving him antibiotics and giving him blood pressure increased stuff. Right. You know, 36 hours later, my father's showing great improvement by that time, I got there.
He was, he was fine, and, you know, there was none of the, there was none of the assumptions, everything they did was, well, maybe we can help, maybe we can do it. Every single doctor, every single nurse, we were there over the weekend, we had nurses and doctors asking us if we wanted a soda, we wanted something to eat or anything we can do.
And when I walked in this morning and I was in there, they walked in with water. Is there anything that we can get you?
I mean, it was unbelievable, you know, people talk about American health care and a lot
of times public hospitals will get, you know, the bad reputations. Yeah. All I experienced in five weeks, and this is in a regular hospital room, and then intensive care for a month, and then back to a regular hospital room, I found nothing but total and complete professionalism, like you can't believe.
I'm so impressed by that and I told them, I said, you know, I said, you know, I was leaving the day, I said, I'm going to make sure, I don't know how you rate hospitals, but I'm going to make sure that I call the people there. So, you know, say a prayer for his family, everybody likes family, Greg, I lost a trusted friend.
You know, I lost a trusted friend, and like I said, it's still surreal for me. Now, but you know something, I even thought about it because, you know, you're in your
“numb the whole, you know, whole day, that's like, I need to go to sleep, go to work, right?”
And that thought, his, I should go to work, like, you know, Mike going, yes, you got to go to work. I mean, you're not going to go to work. Go to work. Yeah.
And, and as soon as I get here, you know, you when I talk about it, that really, as we do get older and a lot of things happen, I mean, people get sick, people die, whatever, that, you know, just the general things that happen in life, this is a great reprieve. It's not just work. It's sometimes you're like, oh, I can't wait to get there.
Well, I, you know, I felt that I needed to be here, because I thought, when my, after my brother passed, I thought, setting it home, or anywhere in the dark, you know, during these hours, would not be healthy, you know, would be. And, and I knew the grieving would come, but I love our little extended family. We have here a great audience, you know, our crew that's here, and it really is an enjoyable
job to do to come in.
“And honestly, I, and some people are different.”
Some people need to take, I guess, depends on the person or the type of work they do, but, you know, taking time off of work is, is expected and, and people sometimes do that for me, I, I really looked forward to the return of, of, and it was weird. It was a surreal experience going from that to re-assimulating back into everyday life. And I don't know that I've fully gotten to that point yet, but I, you know, it's, it's,
because everything's changed. It's weird. I, everything has changed for me since then about how my daily life goes. And the one thing that hasn't is what we do here, one more thing I'm going to tell you
about, my, because when I met, when I first met him, you know, he's talk radio fan.
Yeah. It was like, wow, Gary Matt, and then, you know, you, you get to know somebody, you changed numbers and it was like, I know he was like impressed. Yeah. Because he's a talk radio fan.
Yeah. And it's like, you know, Gary Matt, hang it out with Gary Matt, and then, you know, a couple of years later, whatever, which is exactly what you want in a friendship. Yeah. It's not a friendship, and somebody is viewing you, you know, from the imagery of your
profession, you know, real friends are like, I don't give a damn what you do. You're an idiot. Right. Right. And so, all my buddies from Del Rio, I mean, we all have different jobs, and we all
just see this, you know, the jobs we do, and, and so, I mean, we may have a conversation then sometimes we're talking about other things, you know, I mean, more lately, it's more about life, of course. And you probably would say the same thing about your brother, the things that I had to do today, then are not things you'd normally, you know, do.
I didn't wake up in the morning thinking, uh, in an hour, I would be, you know, holding the dead persons. My, my, one of my great trusted friends, uh, someone was broke up there, uh, you know,
His, his war still warm hand and saying a prayer that you wasn't expected at ...
of the day, I thought to myself, I'm so honored and privileged that I got to be there,
“and, and, and, and see it, and, and, and, and be the conduit of, of compassion and caring”
to his family. So they knew that his, their loved one was, was watched over, yeah, even after he was, while he was alive and then after, yeah. So, but again, my, my buddy Paul and, and, uh, his wife, Patty, though, the way that they were the point person for the family, the last couple of the weeks, I mean, the specific
details, so the family knew every single thing. So when it came time for hospice on Sunday when that came up, everybody was in agreement. Yeah, and it made it so much easier for the family who wasn't there to see him at that moment. Yeah.
Yeah.
So, well, that, uh, God bless you, Mike.
We'll keep everybody in prayer. Yeah, sure. We are right, I radio.

Excuse me, he's here for currently and I'm Gary McNamara. Welcome and good morning coming up with what a busy day it was yesterday.
The White House missile shortage excuse. That's the lead headline in the Wall Street Journal. We'll get to that because they make many of the points that we made also coming up here on the show tonight, the, oh, Fauci. Oh, no.
Did you notice no one on the left, go to social media, no one is defending Fauci. No one, there's not anybody and the liberal activist media was nothing. They did nothing. Nothing. Like where, where's it defense of him and the point is that his own words and diary are so
damning. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That they can't touch it because they enabled everything from Fauci. It, it, it, it was that line that the Babylon be, oh man, I got to find it.
“Oh, I think I think I, I think I, all right.”
Let's see here. Let's see if I can find it. Oh, my gosh, it was, it was something Fauci, Fauci starting to think that maybe keeping a daily surgery diary was a bad idea and it's absolutely true.
I don't, you know, I, I always wonder, you know, why do people, this is like the whole
thing with, with Bolton and it's John, not Michael. And when, when, when, you could apply to Michael, go ahead, maybe why don't you invest that song? Why in the world, what is with that kind of mallet, but with, when you, when you look at it, it was, you know, it's one of these, you know, this is going to come about.
You know, someone is going to see this, by the way, what grown man keeps a diary? And if a doctor, David Gates, David Gates from bread, yeah, I guess, Ozzy Osborne, he was reading her diary. Yeah, I'm sorry. Ozzy Osborne found the diary of a madman and made a song out of it.
What other than that? And I thought to myself, because it's that ego, it's that ego. He wants to tell himself all these things. And wow, there's a lot, a lot to unpack. I don't keep a diary, I just talk on the radio every day about my life.
Exactly.

On your friends, we're here tonightly. Eric Hartley and Gary McNamara on what I radioed. And I'm Gary McNamara along with Eric Hartley. We just mentioned all the things going on with Fauci, the Iran War. But there is a story out there that was handed to me by producer Allen.
Yeah.
Then we have to hit, you know, this is mind-boggling.
It's just so stupid. Yeah. But coming up in just a minute. You know, everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic.
Well, they work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite, right? So what if you're looking to lose weight and not interested in painful weekly injections, especially with some of those intense side effects, right?
“That's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called lean.”
And the results are remarkable. The studied ingredients in lean have been shown to lower your blood sugar, burn fat by converting it into energy and curb your appetite cravings and hunger. But lean is not for the casual diet dieter. With only a few pounds to lose, the doctors had brick house nutrition created lean for
frustrated dieters with just with 10 pounds or more to lose.
So let's get you started if you fit that category.
20% off and free rush shipping so we can add lean to your healthy diet and exercise plan. lean dot com and enter red eye for your discount. That's red eye. That's the code at take lean dot com, not P.A. approved results vary. Okay, stop what you're doing unless you're driving.
You ready? I'm adding. I'm just going to go right into it because I was just reading this during the bottom of the hour and I'm just like, oh, Alan gave it to me. So I didn't see it until a couple of minutes ago.
Here we go. All right. From the college fix.
“Now, you know, if it's from the college fix, well, you know, it's about stupid liberal”
crap on college campuses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go. All right. The latest research society is not paying attention to how American women are disproportionately
burdened by home tap water use. It draws you in, doesn't it? Because it does draw you in going barely talking about, okay, let me read further. And it's good. Clickbait.
Yeah. Yeah. Society is not paying attention to how American women are disproportionately burdened by home tap water use according to a new study from the UCLA Streisand centers, gender and water research hub.
I wonder who funded that center. And that's the, is it babs? I don't know of any other Streisand's there might be some, though. I don't know. I don't know.
And that was the thing on that immediately, too. I went, it's just, it's just babs. It's just what babs is done by the way, if, if I'm helping to fund that research group and they do that, I'm taking my money back. Even though women in the study claimed not to be unfairly burdened.
Wait. What? Yes. They claimed that they did not feel unfairly burdened. So the subjects in the study said, no, we didn't feel unburdened.
Unfairly burdened. What is, what, what are you getting at? Even though the women in the study claimed not to be unfairly burdened. Anthropology professor Jessica Catalino and a research team made the case that they are.
You're just too stupid to know it, ladies, that's what they're saying.
You know why I had to stop the show to do this?
Sorry, sorry.
“But when Ellen gave it to me, the study, gender and residential water use in Los Angeles”
ingrained untapped and porous, that's the name of the research. Okay. Was published in June in the journal of the journal environment and planning in nature in space, it followed 36 families in the Los Angeles area for several years, tracking their residential water use through interviews and water diary entries.
What the team found was a striking mismatch between what households believe and what they actually
do across nearly all 36 households, women carried disproportionate responsibility for water-related
labor, cooking laundry, cleaning bathrooms, monitoring children's hygiene, and the ongoing mental work of remembering what needs to be done according to the article. Yet when researchers ask a participant directly whether gender shaped or water use, then your universal answer was, no, by the women. Some participants seemed content.
This is from this, the actual study, okay, this is from some participants seemed content with this arrangement in the commonshow household in MacArthur Park, someone leave a cake out in the rain there once. Estophania, a bitchly monitor her adult Justin's long showers in addition to her daily tasks of hand washing delicate clothing, cleaning the house, washing the dishes and cooking.
In another household, Valerie embraced responsibility for maintaining the household for the family of four, though she was also juggling caretaking for two young children while working towards her associates degree. She minimized her own contributions. She said, well, my poor husband won a construction worker.
He works all day. He leaves at five in the morning comes back at eight at night. Yeah. In another case, one woman described splitting the water-related chores in half with her partner, but the researchers found that the male partner was still doing less than she
was. Professor Catalino and her team also noted that some participants looked confused or asked us to repeat the question when her viewers brought up gender.
“Yeah, exactly like what, wow, they have to force this, right?”
As they're going along through their own study, they're finding it was built to have a biased outcome. It was built, they wanted to show some kind of victimization here. That's what they're looking at. And the subjects of the study are like, what do you, what are you talking about?
When participants realized upon reflection and in response to questioning or water-diary data, their practices diverge from what their ideals were, they quickly rationalized why household responsibilities might appear unequal between the men and women of the household, but were not in their view gendered according to the study. Catalino and her team blamed this contradiction, are you ready for this?
Here we go. On the Neal Colonial Gender Blind Spot that assumes that the global north has moved beyond gender as a basis for organizing life's inequality. The study concluded by urging policymakers and utility leaders to start listening to women more often.
Utility, what the hell are they talking about?
“Now, did they do the study, how would I frame this?”
Would they do the UCLA Stricens Center's Gender and Law Research Hub?
Right, that was my first question.
Law and because other than the vegetable garden, the law is all mine and it's every week, it's, I don't get a choice, well I do get a choice, I could have a crappy looking lawn, what about the mulch and research hub? The weed, the weed, I'm here to tell you my wife does all the heavy lifting, but if we're going to do this inequality on chores, now let's talk about Juan the husband who sometimes
Works in this study, 5 a.
Who is getting the benefit of conditioned air more?
Is it Juan or his wife, right?
“Who's facing more physical labor exposure to the sun, which can be done and, of course, the”
danger of working in construction? Right. Have you equipment often in traffic, depending on what it is, type of construction, but often in traffic, or at, you know, on a high rise, they're walking on beams, you know, if we want to get into this, let's, let's get into it, women are, this is from
the study, women are an untapped resource for water expertise, women are decision-makers about water from themselves and others, but their knowledge and labor often go unrecognized and undervalued by who? If they're, if they're happily married because you're talking about, you're not talking about somebody like me, yeah, I got to do the lawn and all the water related work around
my house, the cat doesn't do a damn thing.
Yeah. By the way, I, I do a lot of my own laundry. I do, if I, if I make a mess in the kitchen, if I eat news dishes, you know, then I'm, I'm actually cleaning my dishes.
“When we were able to, by hand, when we were able to reach the washer and dryer controls,”
yeah, my house or growing up, you do you long, you did your laundry, mom, yeah, it's right. Right. But, you know, but I love it. I mean, more attention to gendered water use may improve water conservation more importantly,
contribute to justice, both within and beyond households. Now, there needs to be more water justice in how these people are in, say, hey, from said it. Yeah. No, they, they say they're in, they're in the same, they're crazy.
Well, no, they, they, they, they're forcing, they're forcing everything here. Now, I will admit, sometimes I do my own laundry, so that my wife won't see the raising cane sauce stain on my t-shirt, so I'll put that in in the laundry real quick. Throw it in, you know, doorway, you'll receive, make sure she doesn't know you got an extra meal out of the day.
“It's ridiculous how they force this, they want to force this.”
And what did they have to do? They essentially, those in the study had to be convinced that there was some kind of bias here. Yeah. And they built it out of essentially nothing.
Oh, yeah. They, they, they built the, the women didn't feel it was unfair because they're like, well, husband's doing that. I'm doing this. Uh, it's, it's so, I'm, you know, I'm unclogging drains in, in every bathroom we have
three. Um, I'm also, by the way, I'm cleaning the shower. I clean our shower and tub.
I never clean the shower.
Yeah. I always clean the shower and the tub. Uh, I do floors. Um, trying to think of what else? I mean, my wife did a massive paint painting.
She repainted the interior of the house and all the common areas here recently. Not quite done, but she's pretty much done with that. We hired one of my granddaughters because she wanted to go on a trip, so we paid her to help us out on that. Uh, trying to think, well, why can't this be?
Because you look at it and you say, well, why are you trying to force people to believe that there's some type of discrimination instead, why isn't one of the pot, if you're going to look and do studies, uh, useless studies like this. Yeah. Yeah.
Why isn't another option? It is a cooperation between a man and a woman, right, to do what needs to be done to make their life better and they don't see the gender roles, it's the situation that they're in. It's, it's the household as it runs.
It's the household as it runs. 30 years. Right. My wife and I have been working opposite schedules. And so there are things that can be done during the day.
Sometimes I'm doing my lawn on a weekday, right, uh, sometimes it's the weekend, you know, just depends on where it falls. But I have time during the day quite often to run errands or do things during the day, sometimes I don't, uh, but she, uh, takes care of things in the evening, uh, we have a, an adult, special needs daughter who requires attention and we're her care takers.
I, I'm a care taker during the day, her mom is during the night.
You know, there are, are all, we've never, ever, ever measured it.
I'll tell you my wife does a lot and, you know, I can measure a couple of things that
“I do that fall under my, my category or my list of chores, if you want to say it that”
way. But the fact of the matter is we don't look at it as gender. My wife grew up on a ranch. She's stronger than I am. So if I need heavy lifting, she's there.
You know, I look at it this way. If I was married, I'd win on the water-related thing, especially during the summer when I pushed the button to put the sprinklers on the lawn all the time. Yeah. And then I have to fill the pool.
But that's when I hear a lot more. I'm using a lot more water than her in the washing machine and the dishwasher, which actually saves water.
Well, yeah, I, uh, I hear from my wife on the water because she pays the water bill.
How much are we running the sprinklers? I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. I keep the grass green. Right. Is it, is it gallons?
Right. Because I would win in the summer time if I was married. We are Red Eyed Radio. We lined up and for your goals, 866-90 Red Eyed, on Red Eyed Radio. We are Red Eyed Radio.
He is her crony and I'm curing McNamara. You know, we're reading the Babylon B in the headline about Fauci earlier. Yeah. I just love this one.
He warns Sophie Cunningham, the league will fold if only women are allowed to play in the
WMBA.
“You know, it's like, that's what they're fighting for.”
I know. It's like, no, we can't keep doing this. We're going to need some guys to play. The guys play? Yeah.
Right. Let's see how it goes. Right. Maybe that's where LeBron should have ended up. Well, he did.
Philly. Wow. You said it. I did. Out to the hour news is brought you by How Products Visit HowProducts.com.
This is Red Eyed Radio, on Westwood One. Now it's Red Eyed Radio, Gary McNamara, and Eric Hurley talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day, whether you're up late or you're just starting your day. Welcome to the show from the Relief Factor Studios.
This is Red Eyed Radio. All across America. We are Red Eyed Radio. He is our guardian. I'm Gary McNamara.
Here we go. Let's talk about Memdani's grocery store, according to details released yesterday. Um, Memdani announced there would be a 30% price reduction that will apply to core basket of items including all fresh produce, meat, seafood, milk, eggs, bread, and pasta. Other goods will be sold at standard market prices.
Prices for the core items will be locked in at the beginning of each month to prevent weekly inflation, fluctuations, and check out sticker shock. The discount applies to all shoppers, regardless of income level, and is expected to save families and average of $90 a month.
“Hmm, remember, this is government, yeah, right.”
The city will finance construction on the city owned land and wave, rent, and property taxes daily operations will be handled by private operators through a formal request for proposals, process, workers will be guaranteed, family sustaining wages, and labor, peace, agreements. There's labor peace agreement, mean you can't strike.
That sounds like it. Wow. Uh, now, let's analyze this. We already analyzed the cost of construction and we looked and went to the specific details on what it takes on the private sector.
And it's way less upfront money to start a medium or large-sized grocery store than what Mundammy is putting together. We went through that a couple of months ago. Remember, we went to point by point by point. And that came from the supermarket industry, not in response to Mundammy.
It was just, it's out there. This is what it cost in order to, you know, create a, a grocery store and a grocery store. A bigger one with a, you know, Delhi, bakery, hot food, everything else, you know, what it actually cost.
The interesting thing is, I read this yesterday, right after I read the Mundammy thing,
Just happened to come upon this gentleman, Phil McAllister who writes on a su...
has a column, free market for free men.
“He's a research, a research, and it does research in investment strategy.”
And he wrote this, and this is really fascinating, because it's true.
Because basically his conclusion, the stupidest industry for socialist to go after is
supermarkets. Yeah, the margins really love it because the, a few obvious points, the supply of the discounted groceries will run out on day one. And every day there is a new shipment. This is basically con 101.
This means only the people who are lucky enough or fast enough will get these discounted groceries, expect to see the city ration these groceries in some way, eventually, by income or neighborhood or some lottery system. Of course, grocery margins are notoriously low, like two to three percent.
These stores will lose a bunch of money selling 30 percent below market or they'll have
such little supply that it will be insignificant. They'll have it, but it will be like, get that.
“Remember, remember, remember, it's amazing how quickly black Friday went away.”
Yeah, right. It's like people would stand out, you know, to get it was like, well, here we are. This big screen TV, normally, because it's still back a few years ago, $10,000 on say or 32 inches huge for, for, for, that's right, that's right, that's right, 10,000 for a 32 inch TV.
I mean, it spans almost an entire nightstand, special discount, 99 dollars for the first one buyer. You'll barely have to squint watching movies. Uh, it goes, so grocery margins are notoriously low, like two to three percent. These stores will lose a bunch of money selling 30 percent below market or they won't
have much to sell at that level.
“There is absolutely zero chance that government bureaucrats can source these products from”
global supply chains as efficiently as Walmart or any major grocery store, uh, chain like Whole Foods, whose survival depends upon it. Yeah, their costs will be far higher unless they use the government hammer to force distributors to sell to them at lower prices, but I don't know how five grocery stores can do that.
Well, you don't have the buying power, you're never going to have that kind of buying power.
The buying power comes with huge volume. It's actually an incredible triumph of capitalism that you can get a pound of bananas that were shipped to your neighborhood from Ecuador for like 60 cents, right, or fresh grapes from South America in the dead of Midwestern winter for two bucks a pound or Norwegian salmon to cook in Italian olive oil for 15 to 20 bucks or so, truly stop and think about that for a minute.
It's a miracle every year when I go to make my banana bread because I really is a type to diabetic can't eat bananas. I'm always, my mind is boggled by the prices, how cheap it is for bananas. Yeah, wow, that's insane. The medium full time hourly wage in the United States is around $31 an hour.
For one hour of work, suffer taxes, as we all know, taxes, fight, go whatever, but for $31. The median working American can get all the groceries listed below, which is about 22,000 calories, they can feed themselves for 10 days or a family of four for around two and a half days with an hour of labor. This is the stupidest industry for socialist to go after and he lists there because the
products that you can get to feed a family. This is the actual basket you could ring up at all the prices approximate but close. Walmart comes with an $1 or two for the very same basket. Whole chickens, five pounds, $1.29 a pound, a dozen eggs, $2.60 a gallon of whole milk, milk, $2.95, five pound bag of recipe potatoes, $3.40, three pound bag of yellow
onions, $2.20, two pound bag of carrots, $1.55, three pounds of banana, bananas, $1.55,
Two pounds of white rice, $1.
pound of spaghetti, $1.15, jar of pasta, pasta sauce, $1.85, loaf of bread, $1.45, $2.42 canister of oats, $3.15, now they're basic, you know, basic things but you, when it's a point is, it came to $31.50, yeah. Now when you buy average, we do processed foods and everything else, you know, the price can skyrocket, but if you're talking about needing to survive, will those grocery stores
“be able to beat that and all those particular products?”
Well, they won't be able to compete because they'll never have the buying power.
The buying power requires a lot of things, Sam Walton created his own proprietary, basically the entire supply chain for Walmart, he wanted to control as much of that as he could. He knew that if he could control those costs, he could compete with everybody and offer Walmart could offer low prices. That brought about competition from United, Target, Dollar General, wherever you want
to go for discount retailers, then the big box stores, you know, beyond that. Jeff Bezos did, when he bought those huge jumbo freight planes, this goes backwards several years.
I thought to myself, well, he's ended to win it now because he's doing the same thing.
He's looking to create a proprietary supply chain that can control the pricing.
“That's what you look to do, control the pricing so that he could compete by bringing it”
to your door and not having to get up and go anywhere to order it, just sit there right there on the couch and order it and it could get to your door quickly. And so the difference is now Amazon has different sellers, but they also have massive buying power. They have their own brand on a number of things and they have massive buying power and also
they control much of their supply chain, not all of it, but a lot of it. And the same goes for Walmart and other brands are learning the same thing. We talked about yesterday with legendary grocery stores, wagmans, you mentioned, H.E.B. here in our area that's expanding and people get excited about it. It makes the news when they open a new store.
And you can compete in two ways, low prices for greater offerings and/or both. What they all have in common is that buying power and that buying power got to the point where Walmart changed a lot of things. The air that was in the box of cereal, a lot of that was taken out and the cereal boxes became they look smaller because there was less air in them.
The point they were making was you could put more of the same weight volume of product on one truck. If you just take the air out of the boxes, take the water out of the laundry detergent. Get it more concentrated. Smaller bottles means the same amount of cleaning power, but you can put more bottles
on one truck and that gives you more shelf space. And they should say, yeah, the efficiency and productivity of every little, they analyze everything and they have something called OTIF on time and full. Which means it's gotta be there on time, not before, not late and in full intact. No broken pieces, nothing and it's gotta be the entire order that's supposed to be delivered.
And the retailers actually pay a fine, I'm sorry, the wholesalers, pay a fine to the retailers if they don't meet the OTIF agreement. That's part of the agreement. You want shelf space in the big stores. That's what you get.
The point that I'm making here is all of this goes into the buying power to be competitive. That competition is what serves families.
The government will never be able to do that because they're spending other people's
money and they want to do it through rulemaking, which eventually in this case would mean
“you have to qualify to get a certain card to go in and get certain discounted things.”
I'm certain before this all goes belly up and it will. But the big lie is they're actually not competing.
They're actually not the government, the government grocery stores cannot com...
Oh, they won't compete. They're not compete. We're subsidizing somebody else is paying for you to get that discount, which is not happening at a regular grocery store, Jonathan Turley brought it up. Mayor Mundani just gave another press conference on his city run grocery stores announcing
that we're expecting New Yorkers will save $90 a month, about $1,000 a year.
Of course, that is after spending tens of millions of dollars to create the first store, which
New Yorkers will also pay for. Yes. Also pay for the lost revenue from property from the property in terms of taxes and rent. He has pledging a 30% deduction in an industry with an average profit margin of less than 3%, the reason is that he is not actually selling produce in a competitive market,
but creating the false appearance of a business while distributing subsidized goods.
“The only way that a grocer can maintain such below market prices is to subsidize sales”
in this case, Mundani is putting the city budget behind his prices. So you're paying for it. It's not the same. Tax payer pay. Right.
They're not competing with the grocery stores. They're taking other people's money to lower some prices on some product. And if you're going to do that, don't build the grocery stores.
Just give some people money.
Yeah. The old Milton Friedman don't go through the headache of creating all this mess when it's not going to work in the end. If you're going to do that, then subsidize with, I don't know, instead of state-run food stamps have city food stamps.
You're still going to pay for it. But if you're going to spend the money, just give them food stamps. The concept from Milton Friedman and people I've heard the late economist was like, "Look, if you're going to have welfare, don't have 20 programs." Right.
And one program. Cash. You're spending all this money to save what they say 90 bucks a month. Get rid of the bureaucracy. Get rid of everything.
Right.
“One of they spending, in order to save you 90 dollars a month, what are other tax payers?”
Well, that'd be interesting for somebody.
Then somebody will do that. So I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. You can save 90 bucks. What is the actual cost of to the taxpayer of saving 90 bucks?
If you save 90 bucks at a grocery store, you're saving 90 bucks. Right. Exactly. Somebody else is in pain that for you. Right.
Plus, you've got the property taxes, the property taxes that they're paying and the other taxes, that the corporate corporation has to pay. And who's going to be lost prevention? There will be loss. Yeah.
There will be losses. People will steal from these stores. And that happens. Well, that's okay. And every store.
They have a deal with brag.
“He will prosecute if you rob a government grocery store.”
Yeah. It's a private grocery store. No, you won't. But not if you're on a gun. The secret police.
Not if you're on. The secret communist police. Well, you know. Again, you're going to deal with all the things the private sector deals with. You're going to spend a lot of money doing it.
You're going to lose money, taxpayer money going down the drain. If you're going to do this, just write checks for people to get groceries. Right. We are right. I radio.
This morning's USDA Farm Report is brought to you by House Products. Tested, trusted, guaranteed since 1920. The final USDA Crap Progress Report for July, 2020. Six, produces some of these notable news tidbits presented by meteorologist, Brad Rippie. Corrent, we started running out of moisture in some areas.
On July 26, only 63% of the crop rated good to excellent. That's down fairly significantly from last week, 67% very poor to poor ratings, creeping up to 12% nationally. Last week, it was 9% soybean condition. We didn't lock off quite as much as we did for Corrent, but still we did see a decline.
Now 63% of the soybeans rated good to excellent, a 3.0 drop from last week, 66%. 9% very poor to poor, that is up a point from last week. Meanwhile, the U.S. winner wheat crop harvesting continues. We're not quite as far ahead of the pace that we have been for most of the harvest season. Corrent numbers show that we passed the four fifth mark to reach 81% in the last report
in July. That is ahead of the five or average of 79%. I'm Rod Bay in reporting for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. This report brought to you by Senax, Fuels, and Loos. "Get in touch with what I radio, toll-free, at 86X, might be red eye."
"We are when I radio, he's our Corrent, I'm Gary McNamara, so you ask a question.
If you could just not have all this bureaucracy and just give money to people...
City, say, okay, we want a certain income here.
If you have a certain income, you can get this voucher to go to any grocery store. You can get a hundred dollars, you know, whatever, a week, a month, whatever. I'm just throwing out a figure. Why wouldn't you do that instead of what Mandani is doing? And the reason you're doing is you believe that the people that vote for your idiots.
And you're trying to sell the fact that a communist society and communist industry can bring you lower prices, and you're hiding the fact that it does not bring lower prices, it brings higher prices, it's just somebody else has to pay for it. And that's the important note, Mandani does not learn this about communists. They actually don't care about the people."
"Well, because what I mentioned, my approach and it's not, by the way, something I believe
“in, I don't think you should be just handing out more money.”
But that approach is what?
It's a, it would be a benefit to a certain group of people. They don't care about benefiting the people, right? They're trying to demonstrate that they can control things and they, and it will be better. Right. And it's not a benefit.
It's not a benefit. Anyone. It's the socialist communist lie. Yes. Because just give them the money and let them go to where they want to go.
Right. They don't want that. "You're listening to Red Eyed Radio from the Relief Factor Studios." And we are Red Eyed Radio. He is there, Carly, and I'm Gary McNamara coming up.
“Where is the money flowing in the United States in one minute?”
When it comes to supplements, two things matter the most. Of course, you wanted to work and you want to be able to trust it. I've been telling you about Relief Factor. It's working for me, but let's hear from another customer, Mark. He was in tears from his daily hand joint discomfort, but after about a week on Relief
Factor, he says he felt 50% better. It's a pretty good improvement in one week. And now he barely notices any pain. He loves the customer service. He's very happy spreading the words to everyone about Relief Factor.
I'm doing the same mark and good for you. I'm glad to hear your story. Thanks for sharing. My story is very similar. That my lower back, especially, was keeping me on the sidelines.
I wasn't able to participate. Do the things I wanted or needed to do after Relief Factor, that all changed. We want that to be the case for you. So let's get started. Do three week quick start.
Is just 1776 just go to ReliefFactor.com, ReliefFactor.com or call 800-4 Relief and a friendly team. They're going to do everything they can do to help you. And maybe soon we'll be sharing your Relief Factor story right here. We talk about free markets versus socialism, communism.
One of the things we've always said is, look, if you're going to promote socialist and communist
“philosophies and economic narratives, you have to lie.”
You have to. I mean, and I don't care whether it's Republican promoting a more socialist agenda or more communist agenda or a Democrat. It doesn't matter what party you're in. It's the economics that you are proposing.
But when you look at Mam'Dani and you look at his grocery stores, the best point to be made as we just made at the bottom of the hour. And I want to make it again before we move on to this next thing, which is also about a, you know, economic growth is the fact that Mam'Dani cannot tell you the truth. He's trying to tell you and we'll repeat it again because it's important that government
grocery stores can compete with the private market and do a better job and do a better job that they can compete, you know, not subsidize, but compete. He doesn't talk about the substance. They don't talk about the, a total cost. And we said the important point is here, what is it cost to save you a very few in New York
city, $90 a month? Right. If everything else is going to be at market price, which still may have to be subsidized. And if everything is at market price, except the, except the, the staples that you need and we don't know how many that's going to be.
I don't know how many products that's going to be at 30, at 30% off.
You're going to save $90 a month.
The question is for any economist, what does that, what is the full cost of you saving $90? Right. And if, as we know, what is it we figured out, what is the, the money they're spending
to build the first grocery store?
So he's grocery store. What they expect to do is six, seven, eight times greater.
“That's what we did about two months ago when we looked at it, the initial, the start-up”
cost are six, seven, eight times greater. Right. You could not survive in the private market with that. So the point is, and this, the very important, because what we talk about the radical transgender movement, where they throw off the term, you're, you're transforming.
That's phobic, what the hell, as we said, just say, define that, what does that even mean? And they claim you don't care when we talk about the radical transgender movement, they don't care. No. They're the ones that are telling us there's a mental health problem here.
And the solution is to allow kids to cut off their body parts.
And what's the mental health problem? They're all, there's so many of them are committing suicide, highest suicide rate. That's not coming from conservatives. It's coming from the liberals to defend them. And so they really don't care about people.
And communist and socialist actually don't care about people, because if your only goal
“was to ensure that more people have access to cheaper groceries, what would you do?”
You'd simply give them the cash to go. Yep. If it was about benefiting, certain people in society, then you would say, these are the people that need the help. This is who we're going to help and we're going to help them direct it.
And so there were two things that can't be done yesterday was first off announcing, you know, announcing the people that they were going to go after the properties and the people's name. Yeah. And just see what they came out.
Well, it's recorded by New York State that you announced who the taxes are going to affect. Not the names. Right. Well, Donnie's doing that because he wants to put out the notice that you're evil and
we're coming at you. Right. We're coming after you. And that's what communist do. It's the whole class warfare.
Let's get the addresses.
“Let's get the names specific targets, not in groups, right?”
Not in groups, not in demographic individuals and naming them. So that came out yesterday because that's, he wants you to believe that those people have somehow done something wrong by gaining that wealth and therefore he's justified in doing it. And then he sort of wishes to mock them and I'm coming after your money.
Well, that's going to keep those people in down. And then the same here with the grocery stores, he's lying to you by not fully explaining the economics of a government grocery store versus the economics of a private sector grocery store. And can't compete, the business model is not better.
It is simply government taking money as communist and socialist have to do. They take money from other people by force in order to tell you that you get the benefit, but don't worry, those people are evil and so it justifies giving you this benefit because those people are evil and must have done something wrong. Right.
It's the entire class warfare, it's, you know, it's being packaged the same way that it's
communism and socialism has always been packaged, but the thing they have to do, they
have to lie. Now meanwhile, this has been a big story. We didn't get to it. Like the last two or three days I've seen it, the latest internal revenue service migration data and the money going with it, the latest internal revenue service migration data shows
billions of dollars in taxpayer wealth is flowing to Texas while census figures show the state's largest metropolitan areas continue to outpage outpace, excuse me, outpace much of the country in population growth, strengthening a decades long shift in America's economic center of gravity. What's more, Texas is not relying on a single boom town.
Police for worth added more residents than any metropolitan area in the country over the past 15 years, or excuse me over the past 15 over the past year, while Houston, Austin and San Antonio also ranked in the top 10 of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas. This unusual situation gives Texas multiple engines of economic growth, providing businesses with a larger labor pool, diversified industries, and a broader customer base than states
anchored by a single dominant city.
The population boom has been accompanied by an influx of wealth, IRS migratio...
by the tax foundations show that the loan star state gained more than $5 billion in adjusted
“growth income from interstate movers while California and New York recorded multi-billion-dollar”
losses. Capital flows where there is confidence Texas Association of Business Chief Policy Officer previously told Fox News Digital, and right now there is a tremendous amount of confidence in Texas, the tax structure and predictable regulatory environment continues to attract business and investment from other states, helping to reinforce economic momentum, while
Florida attracted the nation's largest influx of taxpayer wealth and South Carolina posted the strongest inbound migration rate, Texas stood out, but that's right, but not people by the way, Texas stood out by combining billions in new taxable income with rapid growth
across Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, the economist say the combination
matters because higher income households bring spending investment on entrepreneurship and tax revenue that can accelerate job creation, fuel commercial development, and attract even more businesses over time, these forces can transfer faster growing mentros into some of the nation's most influential economic hubs. You don't want to point with God to Eric, I thought about this the other day, and we might
have mentioned it at one point, minimum wage doesn't matter anymore, no, I saw Bernie Sanders and some Democrat, minimum wage, nobody talks about me, nobody's talking about that anymore, nobody talks about it because it's, you know, what is the wage companies have to pay based on supply and demand, right, you know, and I saw Bernie Sanders wrote the other day, it's still the national minimum wage is $7.25, the matter, a matter if it's 20 bucks
in New York, it's $7.25 in Texas, does it matter? Is anybody paying $7.25, I don't know of anybody paying that, but that's, I'd love to see the percentage of employers paying that right, or people making it. And it might be a training job, I'll pay in, I'll pay in, teaching this an internship or something like that.
My granddaughters are, my three oldest are in the workforce and they're working as they go through college, and they're making, I mean, they were making $15, $20 an hour and that wasn't enough, so they went on to other jobs, and they're making now closer to $25, $30 an hour at those other jobs, going to college, and they're going to college.
“And it just, it took long enough to allow it to grow, I mean, remember that used to be an”
issue when I see it happen now, it goes nowhere, it doesn't go, it doesn't, and I, you think about it, that was really the ultimate in class, class warfare. Right. You're paying $7.25 an hour, that won't buy anything. Well, nobody's really making $7.25 an hour in the state of Texas, because the economy's
growing so fast, it's very diversified the economy that we have, it's not just oil anymore. Right.
Well, it hasn't always been, I mean, oil has been a major influence you could look
at the 80s. Well, I think that, but we've diversified. And an energy state, I mean, if you think about it, it's been, it's always, there's always going to have to be that support, and there's going to have to be, if it's an energy state, they brought up, in fact, here, the regulatory environment, means it's a predictable
regulatory environment, which means companies know that they can invest long-term. They know that it's not going to change in four years, or in two years, it's not going to change. That this regulatory environment is going to be in place for them to be able to make a greater profit.
And when that happens, people come here, and they're still, I mean, right now, if you
“want to work in the DFW area, if you want to job, you can go to work.”
Oh, yeah. And it, with zero experience, you can go to work. And those are the things that people look at. You know, all these promises of what government is going to do and everything else. There might, there's still a few people out there that talk about this, but, you know,
we were joking about the basic monthly income. When that was talked about, a thousand a month, I'm like, you kidding me, that wouldn't go anywhere. But it would have to be five thousand a month for you to even get anybody's attention. The point being, is where do people, they understand in order to get a head or get
To a better level, I'm going to have to move.
I'm going to have to get a better job, I'm going to have to get an education.
I'm going to have to do this. I can't rely on the government to get there. We are right, I radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carley, it's Red Eye Radio. We are when I radio, he's our company and I'm Gary McNamara.
The other thing the census number shows and why they talk about the Texas about the population
“growth, but the adjusted gross income of the people moving here, that's what's really”
doing it.
Higher household incomes can contribute disproportionately to consumer spending, investment and
local tax collections. Yeah, that's the other thing too, because we have a, almost every state has a progressive tax, whether it's, you know, whether it's a property tax, more expensive the home sales you pay in its sales tax, whatever, because you're buying more early federal estimates showed Texas wasn't just adding residents.
It was becoming wealthier on a per person basis despite adding roughly 419,000 residents in 2025 more than any other state, Texas economic output climbed to about 2.9 trillion while per capita GDP continues to rise, suggesting the state's economy was becoming more productive
rather than simply larger because more people are here and they are for working.
Yeah, it's not just that companies are coming and people are coming, it's that the wealth of those people coming in is greater and continues to be greater than average and continues to grow, which means more people are becoming more wealthier, that is the whole per capita
“GDP going up and that's what you want in an economy.”
That's the expansion of that wealth and that we've talked about for years and again, it lives all boats, you know, when you have more industry coming here, then you need, you know, the people moving here that the employees that are going to move here that are going to be here for those jobs are going to want more things. They're going to need more, it's the service industry benefiting, you know, and all of
that. And that's what you want, that's the kind of policies that those are the kind of policies who want in place in any state because they're a predictive model for industry in general and they can make long-term plans as corporations often need to do.
