In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the Senate took a massive step forward on its way to reopening the government on Sunday with a group of Senate Democrats caving and joining Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown. Signs that the shutdown, which entered its 40th day, could be ending became more and more clear as the day went on particularly with the unveiling of a bipartisan package of spending bills that lawmakers hope to attach to a modified bill to reopen the government. Also SNAP benefits remain un-affected thanks to the President's contingency fund, where we stand with a broken Obamacare and President Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and other key figures allegedly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Also Chuck Schumer loses credibility with his own party and audio from Democratic senators on why they decided to vote to re-open the Government.
