In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, House Republicans passed a short-term funding patch for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the fierce objections of Democratic lawmakers late Friday evening. But the 42-day shutdown that has snarled air travel and left tens of thousands of federal employees without pay is far from over. House lawmakers voted 213-203, largely along party lines, to approve a two-month funding extension for the beleaguered department, which has been operating without full-year appropriations since the funding lapse began on Feb. 14. A Senate proforma session resumes later today.

Also the "No Kings" protests over the weekend proved to be nothing more than entertainment for Republicans, audio from CNN's Scott Jennings on the left's financing these rallies, the "Obama Chant Fight Song" deifying the former President and proving disingenuous to the "No Kings" message, Dems want a "straight white Christian man" for their Presidential nominee and an historic profile of the men Democrats have chosen to represent their party.
