Show notes

And yet, Congress is set to leave Washington in two weeks. While we suddenly have a number of plans to try to fix this problem, there is also Republican paralysis over which one they want.

12-11-25 Part One - Robot's Rights Dec 11, 2025

Show notes

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, living in an era when activists of various stripes argue that, well, everything should have rights.

Anyway (and also) House GOP leaders will bring a vote next week on a package of health care bills that does not include an extension of expiring Obama Care enhanced subsidies as Republicans remain divided about how to address the health care cliff ahead of a midterm election year, the Federal Reserve announced Wednesday a quarter percentage point cut to its overnight lending rate and more on the Russian hoax.
