The Andy and Amanda Show. News, Commentary, Critical Thought, Fun conversation, Laughs. The UK and the USA come together for an hour of engaging intelligent and okay, somewhat silly discussion.
We're talking about the headlines of today and various other issues that are of concern to all of us.
- House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy broke his silence on Wednesday over the uproar caused by freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's conspiracy theory views, suggesting Republicans would not move to strip her from her committee assignments, effectively forcing Democrats to take action on their own.
_ "I won't apologize for the vote," Cheney told the House Republican conference. Cheney was one of a handful of House Republicans to cross party lines and vote to impeach former President Donald Trump for inciting the insurrection at the US Capitol that left five people dead.
- Even as President Joe Biden works to shore up Democratic support for his $1.9 trillion Covid-19 stimulus plan and the country remains in a pitched fight against the virus, all the political world is talking about these days is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
- President Biden and his new secretary of homeland security are already facing resistance from immigration agents empowered by Donald J. Trump to take their gloves off. After a Texas judge last week temporarily blocked President Biden’s order to pause deportations for 100 days, immigration agents did not hesitate to use the brief window to break with the incoming president’s new tone.
