Summary

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, in a National Revue article many college students in particular complain of the Golden State's lack of proper leadership and natural disasters leading to depressing conditions that eventually override the sunny beaches and blue skies. Many indicate these are underlying reasons why residents and corporations are moving out of California in record numbers. Also amnesty returns as President Trump enforces paying back college loans, more than 235 million people across more than 40 states from Arizona to Maine are in the path of a potentially historic winter storm that's expected to extend over 2,000 miles and deliver crippling snow and ice, beginning today, Indiana football star Fernando Mendoza explains why dating took a back seat during CFP title run and CBS News lead editor Bari Weiss under fire for not upholding standards help by veteran journalists at CBS.
