Summary

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Mexico’s most-wanted fentanyl kingpin, "El Mencho," was captured and killed Sunday after authorities tracked his romantic partner to a secret rendezvous location over the weekend. The operation reportedly began Feb. 20, targeting Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho." He carried a $15 million U.S. bounty and rose to power following the arrest of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Also President Trump lies in his own bed regarding Canada, speculation on the length of tonight's State of the Union Address, and FedEx sues the Federal Government.
