Ring Of Fire Radio With Sam Seder, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And Mike Papantonio

Today on Ring of Fire! Republicans have made huge gains at the state level by promoting culture war issues, but can they recreate that success on the national level in 2024? Signs are pointing to NO. The Supreme Court could end up gutting Section 230 that provides immunity to internet platforms, and that could actually spell doom for independent media outlets. Marjorie Taylor Greene is attacking her former best friend Matt Gaetz for not going along with her "national divorce" plan. George Santos swears he can get his credibility back - but he may have bigger things to worry about. And Donald Trump can't seem to get the candidates that he endorsed in 2022 to return the favor for his presidential campaign. All that, and much more, on today's Ring of Fire Podcast!

Today on Ring of Fire! Fox News is in a world of legal trouble after Dominion Voting Systems exposed their willingness to lie for ratings in a court filing last week. We'll explain why that could be the final nail in the coffin for this particular lawsuit. Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to "divorce" Red States and Blue States, and she even has a plan to make that happen! But her plan sounds awfully familiar to anyone who knows how the country actually works. Rick Scott is backtracking on his plan to "sunset" Social Security and Medicare. Donald Trump's lawyers want to BAN the infamous Access Hollywood tape - and his other accusers - from testifying at his upcoming sexual battery trial. And former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen says that he is baffled by the incredibly "dumb" decision by Trump's current lawyers to hit him with a subpoena. All this is coming up on today's Ring of Fire Podcast!

Today on Ring of Fire! It's Q&A time again, and Farron will be answering questions from our YouTube Community members. Will the DOJ end up indicting Donald Trump? Why was no one charged in the Matt Gaetz scandal? Should liberals abandon Red States for more friendly terrain? How can we finally end Trump's disastrous trade war? All of these questions, and many more, will be answered on this episode of Ring of Fire!

Today on Ring of Fire! Conspiracy theories are flying after more balloons were shot down over the United States - with many conservatives believing that we're suffering from an alien invasion. We'll explain why this makes absolutely no sense, even by Republican standards. Matt Gaetz is in trouble after bringing in an accused murderer to say the Pledge of Allegiance to open a House Judiciary hearing. Republicans want to put your children back to work in the mines and in slaughterhouses, and many states already have legislation ready to go to make that happen. President Biden keeps hammering Republicans on their desire to cut Social Security and Medicare, and it is driving the GOP insane. And former Vice President Mike Pence may try to fight his subpoena from special prosecutor Jack Smith, but that's one battle he can't hope to win. All that, and more, coming up on today's Ring of Fire Podcast!

On this episode of Ring of Fire! President Biden's State of the Union address angered Republicans in Congress, and their extreme behavior didn't go unnoticed by the American public. We'll talk about both the responses that happened during the speech, as well as the disastrous rebuttal issued by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Cyber criminals have a new target: Republican campaigns. Multiple Republicans have been the victims of cyber crimes with thieves stealing money from their campaign accounts, so we'll examine why these targets are so enticing to criminals (and why they only seem to be targeting Republicans right now.) MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says that the RNC is putting him in charge of a unit to go after "election crimes," but what they're really doing is opening themselves up for a massive defamation lawsuit. And a former New York prosecutor says that the Manhattan DA's office was just about to file criminal charges against Donald Trump before Alvin Bragg took over - we'll bring you the details. All

On today's Ring of Fire! The Chinese spy balloon was shot down over the weekend, but that was really just the beginning of the drama. Now we've learned that similar balloons flew over the country many times during Trump's presidency, but he swears he didn't know - we'll explain what's happening. Matt Gaetz is leading the conservative assault on working class Americans by calling for cuts to SNAP benefits, Social Security, and Medicare. Meanwhile, the hosts on Fox News are railing against workers taking sick days, while Marjorie Taylor Greene whines about her "miserable" $174,000 per year Congressional salary. The elites are out in full force to demonize the working class. And Trump's legal problems are only getting worse, and his decision to hire a new lawyer in the E. Jean Carroll lawsuits could actually backfire on him in a hilarious way - we'll tell you what could happen. All that coming up on this episode of Ring of Fire!

This week on Ring of Fire! REPUBLICAN CHAOS! The fight over Speaker of the House has shown the whole world how incompetent the Republican Party is, and that is just the tip of the iceberg for the problems that they face. RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is facing a mountain of problems in her attempt to remain in charge of the Republican Party. Kari Lake is still fighting to remain relevant in Republican World. And Donald Trump, Jr. has a curious new job - we'll give you the details. All of that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire!

This week on Ring of Fire! Jeff Waldorf, host of Around The Nation on YouTube, will join Farron Cousins to run through the biggest stories of the past week. Donald Trump watched as his Trump Organization was found guilty on all counts of fraud in trial this week, but that doesn't mean that the company is going to have to face any "real" penalties. Herschel Walker became the latest MAGA Republican to go down in flames in the Georgia special election, even as the Republican Party pulled out all the stops to save him. Republicans are planning a nonstop blitz of investigations starting in January, but that could cost them down the road. And "The Twitter Files" were released to very little acclaim last week, and we'll explain what's in the documents and what they do, and most importantly do NOT, tell us about Twitter. All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire!

This week on Ring of Fire! Heather Digby Parton from Salon.com will be back with us to talk about Donald Trump's disturbing dinner with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, as well as the Republican Party's plan to conduct an autopsy on their own Party to determine why voters don't like them. Mike Lindell thinks he has what it takes to run the Republican Party and is challenging Ronna McDaniel to be the GOP Chair. Herschel Walker can't seem to figure out what state he lives in, and that could cause some serious legal problems. And the Democrats might be shaking up the primary and caucus schedule - a move that is WAY overdue. All that, and more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!

This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump is running for President, but he can't run away from all of the investigations he's facing.

We'll explain how the GOP's decision to let their base die may have cost them several seats. And we've got another Q&A for you! Will Clarence Thomas be impeached? Is Trump going to jail?

This Week on Ring of Fire! The Right Wing world is freaking out over the revelations from the January 6th Committee's televised hearings, and it is going to take a lot of effort on their part to dig themselves out of this hole.

Jesse Dollemore, host of the I Doubt It Podcast, will discuss the hearings with us this week.

As Farron spends time at Mass Torts Made Perfect in Las Vegas this week, he runs into a familiar voice.
