In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the clock is ticking to fund government and so far lawmakers do not have a path forward to avert a partial shutdown. Lawmakers have until midnight Wednesday to pass a short-term funding extension, or else the government will close. Also Philadelphia’s Office of Immigrant Affairs plans to hoist the red flag emblazoned with the star of the Chinese Communist Party in front of city hall today to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of the CCP (we only wish we were joking), sports is dominating social media, audio from Rand Paul on his "penny plan" and audio from Benjamin Netanyahu declaring victory with or without the help of the U.S. Also Kamala Harris reveals hypotheticals based on writings in her new book, Bad Bunny's ICE comments resurface as NFL fans debate selection of Super Bowl LX halftime show performer and a story in Axios speculating why Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer upholds his position on a Government shutdown.
