Episode 755: Dems New Attack Phrase is Working; Trump Having Buyer's Remorse over Vance?
31/07/2024 Duración: 30minThis week on Ring of Fire! An adviser for Kamala Harris coined a new attack against Republicans in a recent campaign email, and it is one that is now driving Republicans insane. The attack is simple: Republicans are weird, sick freaks. But the simplicity of it is what is driving conservatives up the wall, to the point where Vivek Ramaswamy got blasted on social media for whining about the "juvenile" name-calling from the Left. Things keep getting worse for Republicans as they continue to rip each other apart. Recently, Republican Senator Rick Scott tore into Mitch McConnell for being a "dictator" in the Senate within his own Republican caucus. Scott wants McConnell's job so bad that he can taste it, but the last time he tried to do it he went down in flames and ended up losing his position as head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. While there are plenty of Republicans in the Senate and House who love Donald Trump’s pick of J.D. Vance, there is a growing chorus of others who

Episode 754: President Harris? Trump Already Doubting Vance ; MTG Having a Meltdown?
24/07/2024 Duración: 34minThis week on Ring of Fire! Biden is out, and it looks like Kamala Harris is the new nominee, and the Democratic Party is absolutely crushing it in fundraising, polls, and in driving Donald Trump insane with this move. Things are finally starting to look up for the Democrats. Reports suggest that Trump is already regretting his pick of J.D. Vance as his running mate as the junior Ohio senator continues to flop hard on the campaign trail. Marjorie Taylor Greene went berserk during a House hearing this week when she thought about the prospect of Donald Trump going to prison for his 34 felony convictions. And Trump is now threatening to sue the Justice Department for executing their search warrant at Mar-a-Lago - but that lawsuit is destined to become one of Trump's biggest humiliations ever (if it even happens.) All that, and so much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!

Episode 753: What a Week!
18/07/2024 Duración: 35minThis week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump is celebrating the fact that Judge Aileen Cannon completely bastardized the justice system this week, and part of his celebration included an absolutely unhinged post on Truth Social. The former President praised the judge and then called for all cases against him to be dismissed in a show of "unity" for the nation, and then he launched a completely fact-free attack on the Democrats (right after calling for unity.) Buried deep in a story from Axios this week is a statement from a "senior House Democrat" who told the outlet that Democrats have already "resigned themselves" to a second term of Donald Trump in The White House. This is a shocking statement, and it deserved far more coverage than Axios gave it. This means that Democrats are either giving up the fight before it even begins, or that they believe there is no way to beat Teflon Don. Donald Trump's campaign is not wasting any time using the imagery of Saturday's shooting in their cam

Episode 752: Is Biden Dropping Out? Trump Goes Into Hiding; Trump Ally Seeking Revenge?
11/07/2024 Duración: 34minThis week on Ring of Fire! In a powerful letter delivered to Congressional Democrats on Monday, President Biden made it crystal clear that he is not dropping out of the presidential race and that it was time to drop the talk of replacing him and move forward on a united front. This comes as an increasing, though still small, number of elected Democrats are calling for him to drop out of the race - along with donors and 70% of liberal voters. But Biden is adamant that he can do the job. Most of the media attention for the past week and a half has been on President Biden following his debate performance. The few times the media talked about Donald Trump it centered on how dangerous he could become due to the Supreme Court's immunity ruling and Project 2025. Trump, according to Democrats, has been hiding out for the last week, hoping to keep the media spotlight on Biden, but Democrats are now calling him out of hiding to shift the media's focus. During a recent interview with Steve Bannon (before he was incarcer

Episode 751: Democrats Start to Worry After Debate; MTG Doesn't Need More Cowbell
02/07/2024 Duración: 34minThis week on Ring of Fire! The Supreme Court issued their long-awaited ruling on Presidential immunity on Monday, and it didn't do anything to clear things up. The Court actually just regurgitated what the Constitution says - specifically that the President has absolute immunity for official acts, but not from other acts. But this is still a major victory for Trump, as it sends the issue of whether the acts are official or not back to the lower courts, which could create months or even years of delays. Bloomberg is reporting that Democratic operatives are floating a plan to nominate President Biden earlier than the DNC convention in August in order to squash the talk of replacing him on the ballot. While chatter about replacing him has died down considerably in just a few short days, there are still plenty of voices calling for a new nominee - and making that happen while we still have time. Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to hold a press conference outside the prison where Steve Bannon surrendered on Monday, an

Episode 750: Judge Cannon Snaps; Alex Jones Next Move; Boebert Manages to Win in Colorado
28/06/2024 Duración: 30minThis week on Ring of Fire! Lauren Boebert prevailed in her Republican primary for Colorado's 4th Congressional district, and this means that she will likely cruise to a relatively easy victory in November in the deeply red area of the state. The real disappointment, however, is the fact that the Republicans in that district had the opportunity to pick anyone else to represent them, but they went with the disgusting, perverted person who has proven that she can't deliver for her constituents - and actually votes against allowing good things to happen for her voters. They own her now, and they deserve all the misfortune that comes along with that. A very irate and confused Judge Aileen Cannon snapped at federal prosecutors multiple times in hearings this week, and it was all because she didn't seem to understand how things are supposed to work under the law. At one point, she snapped at a prosecutor for defending the funding of the special prosecutor's office - something that Cannon has no control or say over.

Episode 749: Trump Lap Dog's Over Inflate Popularity; MTG Fooled Again; Bannon Names Possible Trump Enemy List
21/06/2024 Duración: 35minThis week on Ring of Fire! Kellyanne Conway has returned to her previous role as the chief lie-teller for Donald Trump. Over the weekend, Conway appeared on Fox News to falsely claim that Trump spoke to about 8,000 people at a predominantly black church in Detroit, even though photos showed roughly 200, mostly-white people attending his speech. In spite of the photographic evidence to the contrary, Conway continued to push the lie to make Trump feel good, just like she used to do. Marjorie Taylor Greene is so desperate for Donald Trump to be granted immunity by the Supreme Court that she'll believe anything - including that a video from two years ago was somehow taken just hours ago. Greene fell for a deceptive video on social media that was originally posted by a Turning Points contributor that has a history of plagiarism accusations, with Greene claiming that the video was proof that SCOTUS was about to give Trump immunity. On Saturday, the soon-to-be incarcerated Steve Bannon rattled off the top names on D

Episode 748: Experts Weigh in on Judge Cannon; Trump's Potential VP; Alito Drama
13/06/2024 Duración: 24minThis week on Ring of Fire! Judge Aileen Cannon has officially been on the documents case for a year, and legal experts are saying that they are shocked she still has a job. These experts have been so repulsed by the behavior of Judge Cannon that they now believe she's no longer fit to serve on the bench at all. And the rulings she issued last week are no exception. Last week, Donald Trump's shortlist of potential running mates was made public, as the potential picks were sent vetting information by Trump's campaign. And the list is nothing short of horrifying. All of the people are considered hard right extremists, with some masquerading as "normal." But don't be fooled - these people are ready to strip away your rights at the first opportunity. The neighbor that allegedly had some problems with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's wife spoke out publicly about their altercations last week, and suggested that the Alito family is "outright lying" about what happened. One of the big issues w

Episode 747: Lock Him Up? Boebert Bails; MTG Wants to Go Rogue?
06/06/2024 Duración: 33minThis week on Ring of Fire! During his recent interview with Fox & Friends, Donald Trump claimed that he's "ok with" the idea of him going to prison. However, he included one very important caveat that many believe could be a signal to his violent base. Trump said that while he's fine with going to jail, "the public" likely wouldn't be, and that could lead to some bad things happening. This covert call to action is exactly how the Capitol Riots came into being, with Trump's rhetoric gradually getting more and more violent until the violence actually began. Republicans in Colorado's 4th Congressional district decided to have back-to-back primary debates on Friday and Saturday, but Lauren Boebert didn't show up for the Saturday debate. One possible reason is because she got utterly humiliated and lashed out at the moderator of Friday night's debate when the moderator brought up Boebert's Beetlejuice shenanigans, which then caused the other candidates to dogpile on her. But her absence did

Episode 746: Trump's Not So Eloquent Holiday Message; Huckabee Ignores Arkansas Emergency Watches NASCAR
30/05/2024 Duración: 28minThis week on Ring of Fire! It wouldn't be a holiday in the United States without Donald Trump posting something horribly offensive and inappropriate on social media, and Memorial Day this year was no exception. Trump posted a message wishing a Happy Memorial Day to all, including the "human scum" that have been successful in holding him accountable in court. Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders caught flak over the weekend for ignoring her constituents while tornadoes ravaged the state and killed at least 8 people. Instead of being their for her state during an emergency, Sanders had flown to North Carolina to catch a NASCAR event. This is what Republican "leadership" looks like - just like when Ted Cruz abandoned Texas during snowstorms to go to Cancun. Donald Trump's campaign claimed that about 25,000 people showed up to his rally in The Bronx last week, but that claim was swiftly debunked by aerial photographs that showed a crowd much smaller than that. Trump has been lying consiste

Episode 745: Trump Trial Recap; Republican Wants Gag Orders Outlawed; Did Trump Lie to the FBI?
24/05/2024 Duración: 33minThis week on Ring of Fire! The defense team rested their case in Donald Trump's hush money trial a little before noon on Tuesday, and the former President never took the stand. Trump had promised multiple times that he would be testifying in his own defense, and the consensus was that this would be a horrible idea for his trial team. Apparently he took the advice of his lawyers - and the prevailing legal scholars - but that doesn't change the fact that he still chickened out of doing what he said he would do. Republican Representative Andy Ogles is so angry about the gag order against Donald Trump that he is pushing legislation that would make ALL gag orders ILLEGAL in this country. Ogles is part of a Congress that has achieved the least amount of accomplishments in the history of this country, and THIS is the kind of legislation that he is focusing on, rather than actually trying to do something to help the country. Mitch McConnell is sick and tired of all the reports about the corruption of the conservative

Episode 744: Barron Trump No Longer Accepting Delegate at RNC; Will Trump's Buddy Get out of Going to Jail? Database for Pregnant Women?
16/05/2024 Duración: 35minThis week on Ring of Fire! It was announced last week that Barron Trump would be an RNC delegate at the RNC convention this coming summer, but Melania Trump has now put that idea to rest. Her office announced that he is declining to be a delegate for the state of Florida, but this came AFTER her husband, Donald, made a video boasting about Barron being a delegate where the former president appeared to not even know how old his son is. Another one of Donald Trump's friends is moving closer to becoming a jailbird after an Appeals Court upheld the criminal conviction of Steve Bannon for defying a Congressional subpoena. Bannon had been allowed by a Trump-appointed judge to remain out of prison as he appeals the conviction, but he may now be out of options. Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro is currently serving his sentence for the same crime, but he had a judge that was NOT appointed by Donald Trump. Republican Senator Katie Britt, who was last seen making a fool of herself from her own kitchen during her State

Episode 743: Trump Unfazed by Contempt Warnings; Noem Living in Her Own Lies; Republicans Defund Cancer Research?
09/05/2024 Duración: 33minThis week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump was once again found to be in violation of the gag order against him, forcing Judge Juan Merchan to hold him in contempt...again. The judge told Trump that he really doesn't want to have to put him in jail, but he said that he will be left with no choice if the violations continue. However, the judge said the same thing last week, so it is starting to look more and more like Trump is above the law. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is still dealing with blowback from her new book, and it isn't just because of her dog murdering story. Since that scandal broke, numerous other lies have been identified in her book, calling into question her entire life story. She lied about meeting Kim Jong Un, she lied about denying a visit to the President of France, and she even lied about an alleged "threat" that she received from Nikki Haley. According to reports, Donald Trump went on a profane 90-minute temper tantrum during a donor retreat on Saturday, attacking President

Episode 742: What Are The Polls Saying? Popular Republican Governor Shoots Family Dog
02/05/2024 Duración: 38minThis week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump, and most of his allies, have insisted that his legal problems are going to make him MORE popular with voters this year. But according to a new analysis, that's not even close to happening. In addition to all the polls showing that a conviction will hurt him, even without a conviction he's seeing voters turn against him as the current trial continues. This is a bad trend for Trump who has seen his poll numbers continually shrink since the start of the year. Kari Lake spent much of the year 2023 hanging around Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump to the point where reports last summer claimed that she had basically "moved in" to the resort. But a new report says that the relationship between Lake and Trump began to sour late last year after Trump started getting sick of her and her election lies. Trump believes that Lake is blowing her chance to win the Arizona senate seat, and essentially booted her out of Mar-a-Lago. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was widely seen

Episode 741: Trump Lawyers Unconventional Defense; RFK Jr's Effect on Trump and Biden
26/04/2024 Duración: 31minThis week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump's lawyers have so far done a horrible job of convincing the jury that he didn't do anything wrong. In their opening statements this week, the lawyers claimed that Trump is "innocent," and then proceeded to claim that even if he did it, it still isn't a crime. His lawyers appear to be less focused on proving his innocence than they are on convincing the jury that the crimes aren't actually illegal. That's never a winning strategy in court. Presidential polling is still all over the place, with some polls showing President Biden easily beating Trump, while others are still showing a tight race with Trump one or two points ahead. But these numbers change dramatically when all other candidates are included, and more and more these polls are showing that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is peeling more support away from Trump than he is from Biden. In fact, when Kennedy is included, Trump now loses, even in polls where he was ahead in a two-way matchup. One of the major conc

Episode 740: How a Felony Conviction Could Open Up More Problems for Trump; Huckabee Embezzlement Claim
18/04/2024 Duración: 35minThis week on Ring of Fire! Now that Donald Trump's first criminal trial has officially begun, questions are swirling all over the media about what could happen if he gets a felony conviction. The odds of Trump losing this trial are great, but there is still a possibility the charges could be reduced in a way that avoids felony convictions. But if that doesn't happen, it opens up a whole new world of legal problems for the United States. Even before jury selection began on Monday, Donald Trump had already racked up a string of losses at the hands of Judge Juan Merchan. First, the judge denied Trump's motion requesting that the judge recuse himself from the case. That was soon followed by the judge refusing to grant Trump's latest attempt to delay the trial. Trump told the judge that it was unfair for him to be in trial while he's trying to campaign, and the judge reminded him that he still has plenty of time to campaign on their off days. A state auditor has finally released the long-awaited report on Arkansas

Episode 739: What is Trump Promising to Big Donors? Lindsey Graham in the MAGA Crosshairs
11/04/2024 Duración: 29minThis week on Ring of Fire! At his fundraiser this past weekend, Donald Trump promised the crowd of wealthy supporters that he would fight to keep their taxes low if he gets back into office. This was part of his sales pitch to ensure that they give him money for his campaign. The wealthy class doesn't care about his coup attempt or his criminal charges or the threat he poses to the country - all they care about is saving a few million dollars a year on their taxes. The company that is backing Donald Trump's fraud trial bond has come under fire from prosecutors, and Judge Arthur Engoron has even scheduled a hearing with the company to determine if they can even afford to post it. And now new reports have found some serious discrepancies with the actual contract that the company produced for the bond that could result in it being completely thrown out. Lindsey Graham wasn't happy with Donald Trump's recent comments about letting states decide what rights women are allowed to have (Lindsey wants the federal gove

Episode 738: Trump's Billion Dollar Week; Giuliani's Podcast Studio in Jeopardy?
05/04/2024 Duración: 54minThis week on Ring of Fire! According to recent financial filings, Donald Trump's Truth Social - which was just merged with Digital World Acquisition when they acquired the Trump Media and Technology Group - lost WAY more money last year than previously thought. Previous estimates assumed the company lost about $30 million, but the real amount was actually a loss of more than $50 million last year. So how can a completely worthless company that is hemorrhaging money be worth $8 billion in the stock market? The group of creditors that are trying to get their money from the now-bankrupt Rudy Giuliani have been asking a judge to look into Giuliani's multi-million dollar condo in Florida and possibly sell it to settle his debts. But Giuliani is now trying to convince the judge overseeing the bankruptcy to leave the condo alone because, as Giuliani told him, he needs it to continue his podcasting. That's not a valid reason to avoid paying your debts. Eleven Republican-controlled states have filed a federal lawsuit

Episode 737: Trump and Our Two-Tiered Justice System
28/03/2024 Duración: 29minThis week on Ring of Fire! As expected, Donald Trump manages to escape justice, yet again. The appeals court decided at the last minute on Monday to not only reduce his bond from $464 million to $175 million, but they also gave him an extra 10 days to pay it. There was no reason at all for the extension or the reduction, but this is the kind of thing that always happens with Donald Trump. While speaking to reporters on Monday, Donald Trump suggested that being a convicted felon might actually help him in this year's election. He was referring to the New York hush money case that is heading to trial on April 15th, where he will face an already-angry judge and a jury that likely won't be fond of him. But he's delusional if he thinks a conviction will help him, as every single poll that's asked the question shows that a conviction would cause him to lose. President Biden has spent the past few weeks (and days) going hard against Donald Trump, and it is being reflected in the latest rounds of polling. Biden has n

Episode 736: Cash Seems to Be Hard to Come By for Trump; Will Pence Bend the Knee; Update on Document Case
21/03/2024 Duración: 36minThis week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump's lawyers were finally forced to admit in a court filing on Monday that he does not have the cash available to pay the $464 million bond for the fraud judgement against him in order to appeal the verdict. The lawyers are asking for the judge to simply postpone the posting of the bond until after the appeal, but that's not how things work. Due to the fact that he was rejected by at least 30 underwriters, it is apparent that Trump is a risk for paying at all. During a recent speech, Donald Trump referred to the imprisoned Capitol Rioters "hostages," echoing a claim that he's made before and one that has been made by lawmakers like Marjorie Taylor Greene for years. Trump also admitted that he'll pardon these people, and these two statements were the breaking point for Trump's former Vice President Mike Pence. In an interview on Fox News, Pence not only trashed Trump for calling these people "hostages," but said that he will not be endorsing Trump. Durin
