About this episode

The episode discusses Colin Kaepernick's potential return to the NFL, President Trump's comments on Iran, and various political issues including socialism and the Supreme Court.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, It’s been 780 days since Colin Kaepernick took his last snap as an NFL quarterback. Now that Kaepernick has settled his grievance with the league, it feels like the door has reopened, even if only slightly, for him to sign with a team for the first time since the end of his tenure with the San Francisco 49ers. He played his final game with the Niners on Jan. 1, 2017. Also President Trump has ramped up his Iran rhetoric, calling the regime a “Failed Nation” while posting AI-generated imagery suggesting the oil rich Kharg Island might be targeted / the Fraser Institute says the gap in living standards between Canada and the U.S. has more than doubled from 1999-2024 / the House votes to condemn socialism with 8 Democrats joining Republicans / and Ted Cruz shuts down President Trump's Supreme Court talk with a fiery 'not just no, but hell no'! The Texas senator told Sean Hannity he would rather remain in politics than serve on the high court.
