Summary

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, headlines over the weekend were a bit unsorted as we start the week. College basketball overshadowed the World Cup, for example, but one important story was the Louisiana Senate shake-up with Republican Senator Bill Cassidy being un-seated by Trump endorsed Congresswoman Julia Letlow. We feature audio from Cassidy skirting a question about impeaching President Trump during his first term, as well as audio from Louisiana Senator John Kennedy with his usual humorous take on the matter. Also Country music superstar Eric Church uses guitar strings to explain life lessons at UNC graduation, the addiction to sports, the hero complex of TikTok and Texas tops the list of most favorable places to move to. For more talk on the issues that matter to you, listen on radio stations across America Monday-Friday 12am-5am CT (1am-6am ET and 10pm-3am PT), download the RED EYE RADIO SHOW app, asking your smart speaker, or listening at RedEyeRadioShow.com.
