Wayne Dupree Show: Pelosi, McCarthy engage in political chicken over Jan 6th committee

Nancy Pelosi rejected two Republican picks to join the select committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol invasion by a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters.

Pelosi in a statement said that she had to reject GOP Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana, citing “concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members.”

Kevin McCarthy in a statement called Pelosi’s move “an egregious abuse of power” and accused her of being “more interested in playing politics than seeking the truth.” “Unless Speaker Pelosi reverses course and seats all five Republican nominees, Republicans will not be party to their sham process and will instead pursue our own investigation of the facts.”

Wayne Dupree Show, Fox News: 99% of those dying from Covid are due to not being vaccinated

Fox News panel claims people dying from Covid is due to not being vaccinated

The assertion came as co-host Steve Doocy urged those who have resisted getting the vaccine to get the shot — and as the highly contagious delta variant surges across states with low vaccination rates, filling hospital beds and alarming public health officials.

“Listen, if you didn’t get a vaccination, that’s your choice,” Kilmeade said, adding that he and his co-hosts had all gotten the shot and were no longer wearing masks.

“If you want to go cliff-diving this weekend, you don’t have to check with me,” Kilmeade said. “It seems a little dangerous, but I’m not going to judge you. And if you go ahead and put yourself in danger, and you feel as though this is not something for you, don’t do it. But don’t affect my life.”

“99 percent of the people who are dying from Covid are unvaccinated,” Doocy interrupted.

“That’s their choice,” Kilmeade said.

Wayne Dupree Show: Biden walks back FB killing people with misinformation; claims it's 12 accounts!

Biden declares 12 Facebook accounts are misinforming Americans about vaccines.

On Monday, President Joe Biden said that vaccine misinformation on Facebook harms people, while partially walking back a statement he made last week in which he told reporters that platforms like Facebook were “killing people” by allowing misinformation to spread. “Facebook isn’t killing people, these 12 people are out there giving misinformation,” the president said, citing an administration report last week on online coronavirus vaccine misinformation. “That’s what I meant.”

Wayne Dupree Show: Dems receive bad DACA news! Appeals court to review Section 230

A federal judge issued an injunction on Friday ordering the Biden administration to cease accepting applications to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The program, initially established in 2012 under the Obama administration, allows illegal immigrants brought to the US as children to defer deportation for two years and to renew the deferral, as well as to receive work permits. DACA recipients are not granted a path to citizenship.

The Department of Homeland Security “violated the [Administrative Procedure Act] with the creation of DACA and its continued operation,” Judge Andrew Hanen of the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas wrote in a ruling on Friday. “The DACA memorandum and the DACA program it created are hereby vacated and remanded to the DHS for further consideration.”

Wayne Dupree Show, McConnell: Why are Americans hesitating getting vaccination?

GOP leader stresses getting vaccination during Wednesday briefing

At a press conference on Tuesday, he said he was “perplexed” by some people’s reluctance to get vaccinated.

“We need to keep preaching that getting the vaccine is important,” said McConnell, who survived polio as a child. “We need to finish the job. Part of it is just convincing the American people of the importance of doing this. Everyone who knows the subject says that if you get the disease, chances are pretty good you’re not going to die from it if you get vaccinated.”

But when a reporter asked him about Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and other Republicans stoking skepticism about COVID-19 vaccines, McConnell demurred.

“I can only speak for myself,” he said.

The state of California has kicked in $10 million to fund the effort, which is being led by Healthy Future California and UCLA, in partnership with 70 community-based organizations.
