About this episode
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, President Donald Trump signed legislation to fund the government again putting an end to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Trump signaled Monday the government would open soon, as consequences of a lapse in funding continued to snowball, including missed paychecks for federal workers and airline delays stemming from air traffic controller staffing shortages. The bill keeps funding the government at the same levels during fiscal year 2025 through Jan. 30 to provide additional time to hash out a longer appropriations measure for fiscal year 2026. Also the shutdown was never about healthcare for Democrats, audio from Chip Roy on why Democrats held out for so long, the politics of the shutdown and what's gonna happen to Chuck Schumer and hours after the White House accused congressional Democrats of selectively leaking Jeffrey Epstein emails Wednesday, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee made public tens of thousands of additional pages of documents, including emails between the late sex trafficker and prominent reporters.
