08-04-26 Part Two - Cracking Down on Toking Up

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 Eye”

Radio. All the cross America. We are Red Eye Radio. He is there currently and I'm Gary McNamara. Good morning. Thank you for being here. Thank you. All right. Climate change update. Oh, good. The Aspen climate, the Aspen ideas, climate conference went on here recently. Okay.

And here's what Hollywood writer and producer Dorothy Fortenbury had to say

for example about things that Hollywood should be doing concerning climate change. Oh, are you ready for this one? I hope so. Stop what you're doing unless you're driving. That's right. There you go. All right. But there's also just the act of portraying reality as it is. And if you just made a regular show where the weather in your show mirrored the weather that we're all living through, that would end up conveying, you know, there would be days where the sky was full of smoke. You

know, we're still making all of our hallmark Christmas specials with snow. Okay. Making all of our hallmark Christmas specials with snow. Yeah. That's because it's still snow. There's no such thing as snow. And we all know it, except in a hallmark movie. What didn't somebody say that one time? Didn't some alarmists come on and say the only place in the future,

“the only place kids will say snow is like in a movie or something. I think they did. It was”

goes back away. Now, and it's getting so bad that there won't be any snow anywhere for anyone. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Kids will not live anywhere where there is snow. I forgot who said it. I forgot you're correct. You're correct. It will only be in movies. Check AI. Yeah. Exactly. Because I wanted to be accurate. Well, I do know for a fact that since they don't produce the hallmark movies during the Christmas vacation, no, they're probably finishing up right now.

Right. They're probably in post right now. Since they do them in the summer. Right. It's like recording Christmas albums. They do it all on the summer. Right. It's they do use fakes. No. Yes. Well, it's not even good fakes. No, quite quite right. Well, personally. I mean, we just finished Christmas in July on hallmark. They had that every year. No, my wife was watching it the other day. They still have that, okay. Yeah. And so, but you know what I've

started to notice. They're using the same snow in every movie. I thought that's the same snow I saw in the last four movies. It's a rip-off. Well, I think they do a great disservice diet-wise

because they're all, all they do is coffee, coffee, muffins, pastries, and you never really see them

eat the entire muffin. Hot chocolate. All right. Let's go have a hot chocolate. Yeah. All right. Hey, finish that one. Let's have a double. Let's go. Let's go for another one. We can do it. And there's always someone bringing someone else coffee. Hey, I thought you might want a coffee.

“No, that's not how it works. How it works in life is you call a head, right? Or you plan a head.”

And bringing coffee tomorrow, give me your order. I'll bring it in in the morning. It'll be here. But it's in those movies that's like here. I thought you might need this. Oh, thank you. And afternoon pick me up. And I'm thinking, first of all, if you've got the afternoon pick me up. Sorry, no offense to Hallmark, but you might have a problem. You're drinking too much coffee. You live in a small town called Christmasville. What's what in your life is requiring you to be

alert for 21 hours a day? Do they ever do, like, Christmas in Miami without snow? No, there's been a couple of them. Where was it? There was a one place a tropical Christmas or I don't know if they did they probably have.

And then the very end. Look, it's snowing. The what the weatherman says it's never happened here.

But you know, that'd be fun. I just, I just love it though. There should be less snow during the Christmas Hallmark movies.

Yeah. We're still showing people snow and it's not real. Actually, I've never, uh, maybe there's one out there.

I, I will accuse Hallmark of always having manageable snow. Well, there are actually, I did see a couple of movies where the couple got stranded. Oh, that's right. Yeah, they were traveling. They were traveling. And they got stranded 'cause they're driving a rear-wheel drive vehicle through a snow mountain. No, no, there are. I do remember there's, there's a couple where they got, remember they, their flights got canceled. There's like a couple of those where their flights got canceled and they had to drive somewhere. And there was one where they were, they, there was, uh, one of them was a musician

and they actually got a ride on a famous person's bus. I forget the artist who played the famous person, famous singer. But it was an actual singer who, oh, Marie Osman. Oh, yeah, there was that. I just found out, uh, Lian Rimes has done a couple of the hallmark movies. So, uh, jewel has done a couple. I, I looked at my wife. I was like, but that's, that's, is that jewel? She was like, yeah, she's done a few of these. I'm like, really? So, yeah. I mean, they're apparently, you know, this is

“a thing now. Well, that's good. Probably a good paycheck. Well, I mean, I, I think the hallmark movies”

should reflect the real world. There should be more violence. Well, we should have more protests. Or that don't include, you know, shutting down the tree farm. No, or when do we want it? The tree farm? When do we, where do we want it? Right here. It's to be where it needs to be, where the trees grow. The, I mean, it's not a good chant, but it's a chant. If climate change may be brought in forms, why not other all, you know, uh, liberal narratives?

No, actually, which means you couldn't have a Christmas movie. Well, they didn't go that far. On one of them, it was about a tree farm, but they had this one tree that had been there forever, and they wanted it to be the national tree. Oh, and then it's called the national tree.

“Is it called the national tree? I remember that. That's like 10, 15 years old. Is it, is it that old?”

Yeah. And they, so they were like, yeah, we're taking all the cross to country, though. Yeah. Well, they didn't. The one I saw, they took all the way across the country. Okay. This was the devil. That's like, because they were trying to convince the tree farm and the tree had been there,

and it was a tribute to one of the parents who passed away, and they thought, no, they would never

want this, and then I can't remember. I think at the end, they chopped it down and burned it. I could be wrong. I don't remember things well when I watched these movies because I'm too busy making comedy during the, you know, breaks. My wife is not laughing very hard, but he can't. The U.S. soccer podcast. I'm your host, Megan Klingaburk, and after interviewing so many dudes during this men's world cup, I'm so happy to be back with my U.S. one zash team players.

“I know the U.S. men's national team has changed how I think about myself, how I think about being an”

American, how I think about being on a team. It's one year out from that world cup, and we're going to talk about the brightest prospects in U.S. soccer. Are you ready? You ready? Let's do it. The U.S. soccer podcast presented by Henkel, follow and listen on your favorite platform. Yeah, since since I dropped, since I dropped, since I dropped satellite, you know, I, I cut the cord like six years. They're all over YouTube for free. Third parties have posted them all over

YouTube. Oh, really? I don't know why they haven't, there hasn't been a content claim on that,

but they're all over YouTube, haven't really. Yeah, all over. And the problem is,

once your wife, you won't have this problem, once your wife watches one, you're algorithm on YouTube is filled with them. I'm trying to watch some guys fish, and then I can't get past all the Christmas moves. You know what I did yesterday, because the, the, the pot laws have changed again in Texas. Yeah. So you went and to a smoke out or something? I want to smoke out. I want to smoke out. I want

to smoke in. I want to the whole Mark movies to cover that. Yeah, right. Yeah, we're all just sitting here again. Hi. Just give me another muffin. This way. It's all natural. You're a brat coffee. No, but I was trying to get a handle on it. You know, just edibles. I was

Delta 8, Delta 10. I never heard of Delta 10. Delta 10 now. Delta 10. Okay. T H T H C A,

“which apparently is either in vape or smoke form that does not have any of the intoxicating”

qualities until you heat it. Ah, there's a new one. TMZ one, which makes you think that the paparazzi is following you. But it starts out like two years in prison for the lowest amount. Right. And it goes up to life in prison. Wow. But, but Delta 9 is still legal. That's the, the first, I guess. So I guess it doesn't get you high. No, the first, the first evolution of the, of the, of the hemp weed. Right. Was Delta 9. Right. That's still legal. Now, they, they filed

suit on it. But, you know, just, try retail organizations, retail organizations and some cop has filed a federal lawsuit. Oh, wow. You know, it's so, so be interesting. I don't know if they're going to take it off it up. But, I mean, what a mess. That's going to be because you're a cop. You don't know. And I, remember, I, about six months ago was talking to a police officer about that. And, uh, he just said, uh, we just, you know, we arrest people and figure it out later if they have a quantity,

you know, of it. Because you can't tell whether something is Delta 9, Delta 10 regular weed. Well, I don't even know what's regular weed called the weed. Is there a Delta before it? I guess was my point. Yeah, I don't know. I, I don't know. But someone made the, in the media made the, um, point the other day that in certain cities, it's just a, uh, misdemeanor. It's just a civil fine. So if you get caught with a small amount of actual weed, I don't know how small the amount is,

“in that jurisdiction, then you just, you pay a fine. I think you still have to show up for court or”

whatever. I don't know how it works. But you can, you can't, but they've got more harsh sentences on the Delta 8. So I don't know. And the thing is, it hasn't been explained. Is it more intoxicating than Delta 9? Is it just because of the, the, the, the, the chemistry of it? Is, is it more? I've not heard that. And so if I, I did see, it was the, like, I'm, I'm doing this for memory. Now, I don't have it in front of me. It's like, uh, 400 grams life in prison of Delta 8,

of Delta 8, or Delta 10, which I don't even know. It's Delta 10. I've never heard of the Delta 10.

I didn't even know. It was about two years ago, where you were telling me, you said, you know, weeds legal here. I go, what are you talking about? It's Texas. And you're the first one that you saw somewhere. I didn't even know. I was wondering why I saw all these vaping smoke shops in my neighborhood. I'm like, wow, people are really smoking and they mean medical marijuana as legal to tobacco, right? Yeah, but those aren't dispensaries. Those are all the ones that opened up

or commercial for recreational. But, but weed is not legal. weed is not legal. No, no, no, no,

no, no, never made that claim. But it was, but no, but the, I mean, the offshoot sub at the Delta,

I mean, it's still, it's still, you mean, it's still in the plant form. You mean? No, it's still in the plant, in the plant form, edible form, vape form, whatever other form there would be. If it's, but Delta 8,

“Delta 9, Delta 10, THC A, I think is the one that I saw yesterday. Well, and that they're all legal”

and have been legal since 2018. I had no idea until you told me to. Oh, yeah, these, this is the, the hemp derived, right? See. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But it's still THC. Right. Yes. Yes. Because they, and this is why the lawmakers in Lieutenant Governor went up, he just battled for this. And then the governor kind of bulked at what the Lieutenant Governor had actually pushed for, because the legislature did not pass this law. No, no. And, and so there was the new law.

You know, this, yeah. So this was basically the compromise. And I don't know where it goes from here. But we do have medical marijuana, but it's so stringent. It has to go through for each patient. I think it has to go through. I don't know how many approval levels. Yeah. I don't know. But it's, it's not the same as other states. But I couldn't believe how many in the last couple of years vaping smoke shops appeared in my neighborhood. And I was, until you, you told me about, you know,

you know, because I'm just driving by going, oh, there's a lot of people sure smoking to back

all these days in different forms or getting a nickel to, I had no idea. Right. But then again, in my neighborhood, we just got liquor stores in 2020. Well, and I, and an advertisement, this is legal

“in Texas. I saw it on acts actually. That's where I saw it. That's how I learned it. That, that,”

the THC part, because all of the hemp movement was really about two things. Agriculture, farmers being able to diversify in what they were going to grow. And also CBD being used, the CBD part of it being used in for medical purposes. And there were a lot of people pushing for that. But there was a work around that got the THC involved. And that's what they did. But the original point is when you talked about your wife on YouTube that the algorithm once you

watch one hallmark movie boom. Yeah. Well, I made the mistake on my phone of doing this research all day on Facebook. Every other post is, oh, yeah. You know, hey, this is legal. This is legal. Here's the drink. Here's this. Here's a, here's a willys. I got, well, now, willy apparently, Willie Nelson makes a Delta 9 drink that is available in liquor stores in Texas. So I'm just like,

yeah, okay. But how they, I don't know how you regulate it when it's basically the same drug,

just in a different, they get there in a different chemical way. And one can get you life in prison and the other is free. It's just, I just don't, I don't see this lasting. I just don't. Yeah, but yeah, but it was about the algorithm. I'm like, every other, oh, I get a liquid form. Hmm. Yeah. Willie Nelson. Oh, wow. Figures. Yeah. We are Red Eye Radio.

Owner operator Mike Nichols is leased to Wayne transports pulling in their dry bulk division

today after decades in business for himself. Speaking to Overdrive's Todd Dills recently,

Nichols offered a word of advice to any company driver planning to make the switch to running as an owner operator unless you've got access to family money. Or otherwise,

“is independently wealthy he noted? As a company driver, you need to be thinking about start-up”

capital and down payment. And I would just say that you need to treat that like you would fire wood. Save what you think you might need and then triple it, if not quadruple it. And you'll be you'll be thankful that you did. You'll be glad you did. That is not just given favorable loan terms with a good down payment. Inevitably with trucking, you'll get hit with a breakdown and huge repair bill. Or another of those unforeseen events. You'll need that reserve cash to cover it and avoid

taking on debt or going out of business. Here more from Overdrive's 2024 trucker of the year contenders at OverdriveOnline.com/PIB.

Welcome to Good Morning. Coming to following the bottom of the hour grocery stores in Chicago, closing that has had taxpayer subsidies. We'll get to that coming up. The President and the Iran War. Wow. Wow. When I saw the statement yesterday, I just burst

“out laughing. I'm like, you've got to stop it. You need to stop. He needs to stop talking.”

Well, that's what I was saying the other day. Really don't say anything about it. We're doing everything we can to keep them from getting nuclear weapons. That's our mission. And we're sticking with that every day. And just say that. Just repeat that. How are negotiations going? We'll tell you when there's a deal that that happens. When it happens, we'll tell you. Otherwise, we're making sure they don't get nuclear weapons.

, we're making sure they don't get nuclear weapons. You're listening to Red Eye Radio. From the Relief Factor Studio.

“You know, I think it was when I saw the true social from the President this morning,”

Iranian leadership has been unbelievably duplicitous. They asked for a meeting. Some would say bag talks begin with more scheduled in the immediate future. And they say openly and proudly that they're not having any discussions that nothing's being talked about. And they're only dealing with Oman. They then go on to give their usual blather to say the threat of Hormuz will be operated powerfully by them when it is

already controlled by the United States Navy. And you get where this is going yesterday.

So I'm response to him, Guarity National Review. And I agree with this. I have never seen a

President so eager to announce to the world that he has been fooled by the other negotiating party over and over and over again. When I saw that yesterday, I burst out laughing. Well, I said, well, of course, they've been this way because he's sounding surprised. He's constantly surprised that's the imagery that he's giving. Right. And it's like stop it. And then we'll hear and it's inevitable. We'll hear again. But we're going back to the table.

But they still want to talk. A deal we're very close to a deal is what Qatar and the Saudis

told him the other day. A deal is eminent. No, it's not. It won't ever be.

“regime gone uranium in our hands, period. That's the only way this thing ends on a positive.”

And I don't think that's going to happen. Which means it's probably not going to happen in our lifetime. I hope I hope I really hope I'm wrong. You know, if the Israelis are claiming, you know, there's something going on and there's some kind of backdoor covert operation going on to remove the regime. And it ends up, and I've said this before, if they end up coming out saying, hey, this is why we had to do this and say what we said. And it hears what we did and the regime is gone

and the uranium is in our hands. I'll say, okay, great. I would still say stop talking. There's only one thing you need to say. Our mission remains as it was from day one to keep them from getting nuclear weapons. We're going to work to no end to do that. We won't talk about anything else until it happens. If something else happens, that we believe is worth bringing to you. We'll let you know. But we will work to no end to keep them from getting nuclear weapons.

That's all we have to say. That is the mission. It's ongoing. Yeah. And we're not going to divulge anything else. You know, that, that, which again, he's losing his base on this big time. Just big to, I've not seen anything. And, and the, the, the reflecting pool, debacle, when you lose Scott Jennings on the reflecting pool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because, uh, Jenning Piro, who you could not find, uh, you could not find a bigger cheerleader

for Donald Trump as president than Jenning Piro. Currently, the, uh, the federal attorney for DC. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, uh, the, the stories out there saying, you know, because he said, she choked on this one. He's what he said, uh, other, you, you've got multiple new sources stating that he's discussed letting her go. Right. Over this. Right. Which, if the president's going to talk about it as he did yesterday, you better, better be fact-based. Yeah.

“When you lose Scott Jennings, who is the, remember Scott Jennings takes a Republican side in the”

president's side and almost everything. That's what, that's what his job is. Mm-hmm. A lot of the

reaching there. Yeah. Mm-hmm. But when he finally, as we play the audio yesterday, just said,

this is ridiculous. This guy didn't do anything. And you're going after him and you're continuing to go after him. The president spends too much time on things that don't matter. And we said it early on, unless you have a filtration system in there, you're not going to have clear water. It's that simple. Right. And unless you treat it like a swimming pool, it's not going to be clear. And it wasn't. But he just things that, and I don't know. I can't,

I can't get into his mind. Mm-hmm. I don't know why. I don't know whether it's ego. I don't know what it is. But if, if you will lose, the president has lost a ton of his base, even the influencers

“on prices now, because when he put back the tariffs, again, never remember, the tariffs are”

not as high as they were before. The tariffs were a lot higher before in many different products. But when you've got this president going after Jeanine Pirro, one of his most loyalist, loyalist, loyalist, loyalist, loyalist, loyalist people ever, when you've got him constantly over and over again,

basically telling you how the Iranians are making a fool out of him, which he actually said

those words. When you have the president going after the oil companies for profits like Obama and Biden and every liberal did to the point of, as James Freeman brought up in the Wall Street Journal, voters have to put up with a lot of Trump's weirdness in return for his willingness to push back

“against leftist insanity. What's the point if he's going to adopt Senator Elizabeth Warren's”

talking points and pretend that he doesn't understand supply and demand or that oil CEOs are more greedy than he or Ms. Warren are? The shame of today's attacks on the energy producers is that he stepped on some extremely hopeful news in what has been a rather year of modest economic growth as was reported in the last couple of days, factory activity expanded past expectations in the U.S. in July, growing at its fastest rate in more than four years according to a survey of

manufacturing firms, the ISM's purchasing managers index was 55.6 in July compared to 53.3, readings above 50 indicate a sectoral expansion analyst bulb by the Wall Street Journal or expecting a reading of 54 and it was more than that. The new orders index expanded for the seventh consecutive month after four straight readings in contraction and goes up talking about there was some good economic news to promote yesterday and it's lost in a reflecting pool and going

after oil companies and being surprised that Iran lies again, again, it's frustrating.

Well, and the problem is it's all about the messaging, it's all about his words.

Hand it over the reflecting pool thing but I can't tell you, but I'll tell you what needs a thorough investigation. Let's see what they find. And we'll go based on what she found. And if you're going to say, like he did over the weekend, she's wrong. Then you better have something to back it up. Why is it you believe she's wrong? He said because the judge went after her and she couldn't handle it.

Right, show. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I guess, let me, let me, let me rephrase that. What evidence do you have that her findings are wrong? I don't believe Jeanine Piero choked. No, no, I don't, I don't believe

“so. If it's a contractor problem and that's what she found, then that's what you have.”

When your biggest cheerleader can't work that we've seen this happen before. Epstein files. Next thing, you know your age is going. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's not,

Well, actually, it wasn't end. It was the end of Pam Bondi's career as age E.

“And they get hired by him and they're gone.”

Because you can't form an opinion isn't going to get you there, especially in legal matters. You're going to have to have evidence. And it better be solid if you're going after somebody. If you're going to prosecute somebody. But then you end up, if you end up dragging somebody's name through the mud, somebody also has to pay for that. There should be at the very least an apology.

If I was wrongly accused, I don't care who the president is. Like I say, one of the biggest

cheerleaders of this president and the Republicans is Scott Jennings. He's been a

“Republican word for Mitch McConnell, everything else. When you lose him on the reflecting pool and”

Trump lost him on the reflecting pool the other day. Yeah, play the audio. Right. Then you're doing something wrong. Meanwhile, in Chicago, a warning for Mandani, the closure of seven save a lot grocery stores on Chicago, South and West sides has renewed debate over whether government subsidies can effectively address food access in underserved neighborhoods with one free market policy expert arguing the shutdowns, highlights the limits of public intervention.

The stores operated by yellow banana closed after save a lot. And it's operating agreement with the company, studying financial challenges that including a sharp decline in stamp purchases,

Chicago had invested 13.5 million dollars in taxpayer dollars to renovate six of the seven

locations as part of an effort to expand grocery access in neighborhoods often described as food deserts. Nicole Hoyer, researcher of their heritage foundation said the closures were a predictable outcome of bad policy dumping millions upon millions of dollars into these stores without addressing the root causes of grocery unaffordability like city regulations, high taxes, even crime without addressing these things just dumping more money into artificially inflating these grocery stores

is not going to solve the problem. She said governments lack the incentive that drive private business to operate efficiently free markets create better outcomes for the residents they're better equipped to handle the intricacies of business whether that's a high supply chain management or dealing with labor. The government on the other hand is backed by taxpayer dollars so they don't really have an incentive to run these stores efficiently or cost effectively. And as we see with mandami already

the startup costs cost doesn't matter because somebody else is paying for it. Yep, not the customer. We are right I radio. Coming up more with Gary McNamara and Eric Carley it's red I radio. We're when I radio he's early and I'm Gary McNamara you know talking about the Chicago grocery stores. We started the show talking about mandami that the the ID and his aid said you would we thought she said you would need like a library card they couldn't say ID. Jonathan Turley says

it appears you'll need an ID to enter mandami markets but not to vote for mandami. His staff is

“planning on a library card S card. So what it means is you need to go in show your ID”

you know show your ID get one of these cards from the city right and then get a card from the city saying you can shop at the city store. And so that means since you have to really have an ID to get another ID without question this is the Democrat argument blacks and married women with children will be excluded will not be able to shop because as we know according to Democrats blacks do not know how to get ID and married women because they change their names have problems with ID.

Yeah so mandami is discriminating against blacks and married women with children who need food in order to survive. Wow and I made that for Medicare now.

What is your take was it what you expected? How is the best thing ever?

“It was something I always wanted to do. If you show me a clear goal,”

how my cookie I can do that. Master Chief he's like you realize it's about 1% chance that you

make it through 1% that's all I need Master Chief. My普通 went home early and I just went

“up to my chief and I was like I'm not doing all. Turns out I'm scared that's when we go to work.”
