The Dupree Report is back, and it's going to sound different. With no co-host and no comfort food, Wayne puts the facts first and holds both parties to the same standard.
Today, Republicans are walking a tightrope on immigration. A record 50,925 ICE arrests were made in August, according to DHS figures, yet only 39% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the issue, per AP-NORC. Now, weeks before the midterms, a few Republicans are pushing back. Rep. María Elvira Salazar says enforcement has "gone too far." Sen. Roger Marshall wants ICE to work with local police. Cattle groups warn of lost workers. Wayne breaks down who said what, and why none of them is calling to end the crackdown.
Then Wayne turns to a bigger question. The Trump administration now owns stakes in private companies, and Trump has promised a $5,000 "dividend" if Republicans win Congress. Is it socialism, state capitalism, or just politics? Wayne gives you the facts, including how past administrations did something similar, and leaves the verdict to you.

Republicans are facing a growing warning sign ahead of the midterms: voters remain deeply frustrated with the cost of living. Inflation was 3.5% in June, while wage growth also stood at 3.5%. Fox News polling shows Democrats now hold a 9-point advantage on which party voters trust more to handle the economy. GOP strategists fear some Republican-leaning voters could stay home or defect in November.
