Former Nixon Lawyer Says Trump's Behavior Was WAY Worse Than Nixon's
John Dean, a former White House counselor to Richard Nixon, said that the recent revelations about Donald Trump's DOJ spying on his political enemies was worse than what Nixon did and went as far as to say that it was Nixon "on stilts and steroids." Additionally, legendary Watergate journalist Carl Berstein also said that Trump's actions went far beyond what Nixon ever did. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Via America’s Lawyer: Anti-Cuba protestors swarmed the streets in Florida, despite the state’s recent passage of the country’s most stringent anti-protest bill. RT correspondent Brigida Santos joins Mike Papantonio to explain how dozens of states are considering enacting similar laws. Also, Juul paid over $50,000 to sponsor pro-vaping articles in a special edition of the American Journal of Health Behavior. Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss more.

Right wing demonstrators in Florida have been given a pass after breaking the state's new anti protest laws during the demonstrations that have been against Cuban government. Last week in Florida, it was a big mess in Florida. Florida officials are now facing criticism for applying a double standard to protesters across the state. Brigida Santos joins me now to talk about this story. Brigida, first of all, as we, as we watch this story develop, I'm wondering, did police in Miami file charges against anti Cuban protesters last week? Were they actually charges filed?
No, last week, Florida police declined to charge hundreds of protesters who shut down the Palmetto expressway for eight hours in Miami-Dade county in violation of Florida's new anti protest bill. Governor Ron DeSantis enacted Florida's harsh new law in April in response to last year's black lives matter protests. The law makes it a felony for protestors to block highways and it gives full immunity to people who drive through protestors. But in response to the anti Cuban government protests last week DeSantis tweeted that Florida supports the people of Cuba as they take to the streets and the rights of non-violent Cuban-American protesters. No arrests were made despite law violations. Critics immediately pointed out the diffe

MYPIL
mypillow-ceo-launches-wild-new
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has launched another crazy conspiracy about alleged election fraud, this time claiming on his website Frank Speech that he has found people who are dead who used the address of a prison to cast their ballots. This comes after he recently claimed that he found people who had been dead since before America was even founded who allegedly voted in 2020. Of course, he had no evidence to back up any of these claims. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

My pillow CEO, Michael Lindell is out once again, just days after his latest conspiracy theory, by the way that people as old as 850 years old voted in the 2020 election, he's already got a new conspiracy theory cause that one clearly fell flat. And his new conspiracy is that he has found thousands. Thousands of voters who were one definitely dead and two using prison addresses to vote in the 20, 20 election. Now this is all according to an interview that he posted on his website, Frank speech. And here's what he had to say. If you could pull up, I'm going to show you guys in Wisconsin, just an example, how 23,000 people voted using a prison address and use the same phone number. And a lot of them were people that turned out as we dove into it. They're not alive anymore. They just use their names obviously, and they don't live in Wisconsin.
They don't. Okay. So they're dead. But the people who use the dead people's names don't live in Wisconsin. So you somehow Mike Lindell, you're able to find the fake voters. You found the fake voters, and then you found the people who filled out the fake votes and you determined they didn't live in Wisconsin. Why have you not turned all these names over to the FBI?

In late December, President Biden signed a new defense bill that included an extension of a controversial domestic spying program that allows the government to spy on US citizens without having to obtain a warrant. Also, Harvard University appears to already be having problems with their latest interim president after it was revealed that he has made millions of dollars while serving on the boards of several drug companies.

In late December, president Biden signed a new defense bill that included an extension of a controversial domestic spying program that allows the government to spy on US citizens without a warrant. Okay. This, there's some good and bad to this. And you and I both have always agreed to that, I think, and that is that there has to be something in place to where we can capture information that's going, that's being used in foreign governments. Okay. It tells us something's coming. The Hamas thing, I don't know how they didn't catch that, because there's just so much activity there. But that's what it's supposed to be. Here though, they've taken it and they're finding out that they're using it against private citizens. And you and I have talked about the Church Hearings that took place. Frank Church, he has these hearings and he finds out the CIA, FBI, are not only spying on American citizens, they're actually interfering with their lives. They're following 'em. They're causing all kinds of political pressure for 'em. This is kind of the same thing, isn't it?
It really is. Except the difference now is that when people find out, oh, the government could be spying. Okay, well, I'm not doing anything wrong. What do I have to worry about?
That is the average.
You know, we have come so far since the Church Hearings when this kind of news was shocking. Everybody couldn't believe that the government was doing this. They wanted answers. But now, again, late December, president Biden signs this, we're still in FISA over 20 years after the launch of this war on terror. And what are we even looking for anymore? Obviously we're not doing a good job with it. It is not yielding results. It's violating our civil liberties.
Well, that was my point about the Hamas deal. If it had been working, we certainly would've caught that, right? But the point being, we're living at a times where there's so much volatility. I get that. But you kinda have to know what's going on. But somebody's gotta say, you may not under any circumstances use this warrant, use this FISA avenue without a warrant to spy on Americans. It's pretty simple, isn't it? But it's been abused so many times. The record of abuse by the Feds on this is overwhelming.
Yeah. Two years ago, a million, there were a million Americans that got swept up in the FISA. And then the past year, oh, we did a little bit better. We only had tens of thousands instead of being up to the million number. But this is, the issue is not having a warrant. If you actually have any kind of probable cause, if you have reason to believe something exists, getting a warrant is not that difficult for these individuals.
You know, Wray of course, he was called before Congress, and they kept asking him, well, what about these Catholics? What is this with your spying on Catholics, that you're tapping their phones? I don't know if that went through FISA or not, but I think it did. I think there was some element that even was used, went through FISA where they were tagging Catholics for, I suppose anti-government statements, anti-government conduct. What was it? Do you recall?
That to me, I'm not too familiar with that, but.
Yeah. Wray was in front of Congress and they were talking to him about that. I never got a good answer. I don't think he ever gave a good answer that supplied the reason why we would be spying on American Catholics because of what appeared to be terrorist conduct. I suppose it has to do with abortion bombings or something like that.
It's possible. But look, we do know.

TEXAS
texas-governor-shredded-after-blaming
After news broke of the 18-wheeler that had been found with nearly 50 dead migrants inside, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (and plenty of other Republicans) wasted no time trying to somehow blame President Biden for this tragedy. Marjorie Taylor Greene went as far as to say that Biden should be impeached, while Abbott claimed that this was a result of his so-called "open border" policies. Literally nothing has changed with immigration between the Trump administration and the Biden administration, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

It was revealed earlier this week that an 18 Wheeler had been found, uh, near a military base in San Antonio, Texas, that contained close to 50 migrants who had died. Uh, seemingly of course, in the back of this 18 Wheeler during this excruciating heat wave happening throughout parts of the country. And after this news was revealed multiple Republicans, including of course Texas's Republican governor Greg Abbott took to social media to somehow blame president Biden. For these people dying in the back of this 18 Wheeler here is what Abbot said. These deaths are on Biden. They are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law.
Now Abbott got shreded for this. A religious leaders came out of the woodworks on Twitter to admonish him for making this idiotic claim. But his claim itself actually contradicts itself because if president Biden was not enforcing border laws, if he did in fact have this open borders policy migrants wouldn't need to be hiding in the back of an 18 Wheeler in the middle of a heat wave. Now would they? Now if you stop and just think about it for a second, you realize that, oh, okay. Yeah, this makes no sense what Greg Abbot is saying. But the problem is the people that this tweet is targeted towards Greg Abbot's supporters, Republicans. They're not gonna take a minute to think they're not gonna take a second to think. I don't even know that they're capable of thinking at this point.
So you go out there, you just make random up because we don't even have an open borders policy. Folks. We still have the same immigration policies that we had when Donald Trump was president nothing's changed. Nothing has changed. All that's changed is the political party of the person sitting in the oval office. So Republicans, when Trump does things like this, they applaud it when Biden does it, they say it's the worst thing that ever happened because Biden is just letting all these people in. If he was letting them in, they wouldn't be hiding in the back of 18 wheelers. That's a very stupid statement for these Republicans to make, but their audience, their target audience, their voters, eat it up and never think twice about it. Marjorie Taylor green, of course also tried to get in on the action saying that president Biden should be impeached impeached for these dead migrants. Now the people that should be held responsible of course, are the people that put them in the back of the 18 Wheeler. They should be charged with the deaths of 50 individuals and they should be sent to prison forever. That's what should happen. And
Actually, I mean, we're talking about the state of Texas here, so I don't think it's gonna be a life sentence. I think Texas is a little bit harsher than that, especially when you're dealing with, you know, dozens and dozens and dozens of dead bodies. So the people who are in custody, which yes, there are three people in custody, uh, in relation to this, um, they, they need to be careful. They need to hire good lawyers or else. Texas is probably gonna slap 'em with a death penalty because that's just what Texas does because it's easier than actually dealing with people.

TRUMP
trump-lawyer-warned-him-not-to-steal
According to new reports, before Donald Trump left the White House, one of his White House lawyers warned him about the legal problems he could face if he stole classified documents. This claim, if proven true, means that one of Trump's only legal defenses is now completely moot, and he won't be able to claim that he didn't know what he was doing was illegal - not that that is much of a defense, anyway. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses these new revelations.

According to a damning new report from the New York times, one of Donald Trump's white house lawyers Amer a man by the name of Eric Hershman. Allegedly told the president before he left office, that if you take these classified documents with you, because apparently it was an open secret in the white house that Trump was taking this stuff with him. But Mr. Hershman, according to this report, by the New York times warned the president. If you take these with you, you will be breaking the law. This is illegal and they do not belong to you. There's also, according to the report, Hershman tells him massive national security implications and problems that will arise if you take these documents with you. So do not take the documents with you. Now, we've already gotten information that pat sip, you know, the main white house council had also effectively warn Donald Trump to not take the documents with him.
And now we have a second lawyer that has come forward again, according to the New York times and said, this is what I told Donald Trump. So what does this mean? Well, it means that it's probably gonna be fairly easy, well easier. I guess I should say to prosecute Donald Trump under the espionage act. And here's why in order to prosecute somebody under the espionage act, they have to have taken the documents, the classified documents, nuclear documents, whatever it is, they had to have taken them willfully knowing that they were not allowed to do it. If it was an accident or if Trump legitimately didn't know, he wasn't allowed to have these things, you can't get a prosecution under the espionage act. It would be near impossible to do that. But if we have these two lawyers now on record again, we're actually kind of waiting, I guess, for Hershman to, you know, completely confirm all of this. So I guess, technically right now, this is all alleged Cini however is not. So if we have these two lawyers who are willing to go on the record and willing to testify that, yes, we told Trump, he can't do this. And then he did it anyway, we warned him. It was illegal and he did it anyway. We warned him, it would endanger national security and he did it anyway. Then that's ballgame, right? It's over. You have a very clear cut violation of the espionage act. Assuming these lawyers can prove somehow that they did this.
Now, I don't know about the case with Hershman, but the other attorney, he was actually in communication with the, uh, uh, I can't remember if it was the DOJ or the department of Homeland security, but I do know he was, uh, talking with another government agency where he
Expressed his concerns about Donald Trump taking these documents. So that's documented that's on the record. There's evidence of that. So Hershman's testimony if it were to come to that is kind of just the icing on the cake, right? We've kind of already got what we need for the espionage act conviction. We just need him to bolster that case a little bit more. And I feel that he does that. So Trump cannot claim that he didn't know he wasn't allowed to have these, but there's a catch here. If these lawyers had in fact told Donald Trump, you can't have these sets of documents here. They're classified. That could be the moment that Trump goes. Okay. Uh, you're declassified.

striking-auto-workers-tell-trump-he
Donald Trump is headed to Michigan today to hold a rally near the striking UAW workers - and he's doing it against the wishes of the union. According to reports, the union had specifically told Donald Trump to stay away, but Trump wasn't going to miss an opportunity to pretend that he cares about struggling American workers, and decided to make the trip against their wishes. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Yesterday, in a historic moment, president Biden appeared in the picket lines with United Auto Workers striking for better wages and better benefits. That is historic. We have not seen this happen before where he sitting president goes on the picket line. So that is a huge boost for Biden, and it is important to remember that the u a w, the union representing all these striking workers, they did invite Biden to come to the picket line and give a quick speech. And by the way, in the, uh, videos that I've seen of Biden out there, he did a great job. He agreed these people deserve wages. He called out the CEOs for their exorbitant pay, did everything we could have wanted him to do. So top marks for Biden on that. Well, today, Donald Trump's heading out there, right? He's going up to Michigan. And according to a new report from the Washington Post, the United Auto Workers specifically asked Donald Trump to please not come to Michigan.
We do not want you, we do not want you here speaking to our people. We do not like you. We do not trust you. Please do not come. But of course, Donald Trump can't pass up an opportunity to be in the spotlight, especially since Biden already upstaged him. So Trump is going, and I, I, I guess ironically, maybe not ironically, he's, he's actually going to be speaking at a non-union shop. So you're supposed to be out there promoting the union, you know, trying to get these union workers on your side. And you're gonna do that by speaking at a non-union shop, which according to reports out Wednesday, has already off the u a w something fierce. So they didn't want you to come. You said, screw it, I'm coming anyway. And then you 'em off even further by going to a non-union shop. And this of course comes after Donald Trump earlier this week, told unions that, Hey, you side with me.
You get your leadership to embrace Donald Trump. And quote, I will make you rich. That's what Donald Trump put on social media. I will make you rich. These people aren't looking to get rich. Donald Trump thinks that the ultimate goal of every single person in society is money. It's not. These people want to produce a product. These people have worked in these factories, some of them for decades. They believe in what they do. They drive down the street, they see other cars on the road, and they ha they have that sense of pride like I did. That that is a pride that Donald Trump, no matter how hard he tries, can never feel because he's never created something like these people do. All these people are asking for is, Hey, listen, we're putting in all the work, we're making the products we want better pay. Our c e o is getting what
Is a 60% raise year over year. We want 40% over the next four years. So 10% per year. That's what Trump doesn't understand, 'cause he thinks these people just want to get a giant big payday, then retire off and to buy their own private islands. That's not what's happening. And that's why they don't want him to come, because Donald Trump has never been working class. Donald Trump's family has never been working class. He wasn't working class when he grew up. He knows nothing of the struggle of American workers. To his credit, Biden does. That's why they invited Biden and told Donald Trump to stay the hell away from them.

BIG O
big-oil-spent-200-million-in-the-last-18
According to a new analysis by Common Dreams, oil companies have poured more than $200 million into political initiatives and donations in order to thwart any efforts by Congress to reduce our emissions and protect the environment. This includes helping to sabotage legislation that would have helped the country transition to clean energy. It is difficult, though not impossible, to fight against this kind of money. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

According to numbers that were calculated by the group climate power and shared exclusively with common dreams. Big oil has pumped more than $200 million into efforts to kill climate action in just the last 18 months, 200,000,018 months, just to make sure that we don't get things like investments in renewable energy, which we actually did get this week, thanks to a deal between Schumer and mansion. Well, we still have a couple Democrats that we've gotta get on board with it, but getting mansion on board was a big deal. So kudos to mansion for finally doing the right thing. Even if it is a watered down bill, it doesn't go. As far as we needed. At this point, we gotta count every victory as an actual victory. It, it, it's not good enough. It's still got some handouts to big oil, but it's better than nothing. And sometimes that's the best you can get.
But anyway, 200 million, and of course, 80% of the industry's campaign donations went to Republicans. So 20% went to Democrats, right? That's that's also pretty bad. 20% of 200 million is still, you know, 40 million spent lobbying Democrats. And of course, giving direct campaign donations. Here's the problem with these numbers. We can't fight that right? There is no organization on the left. There is no organization fighting for climate that has that kind of money. We are out gunned at every possible turn in our fight to protect the environment, to protect human life and human health. We are up against, I mean, I don't want to use David versus Goliath because this is even bigger than Goliath, but we're up against these insurmountable odds. These people, these oil industry, you know, companies that have seemingly endless money, the, the profit margin by the way, is about $3 billion per day is what these companies are pulling in combined $3 billion in profit a day, but they don't always win. And that is of course the silver lining here. Yes, we're up against these behemoths. Yes, we're up against unlimited corporate money, but we're not always losing as we continue to see the effects of climate change, right? In our own backyards, whether it's floods, which we've seen this week, wildfires, which we've seen this week, other extreme weather events that we've seen this week, all of those things combined start to wake more and more people up.
In fact, as I always point out the only place where there's actual disagreement about whether or not we should take action on climate change, I is in Congress. You ask anybody in this country, Republican Democrat, or what have you, majority of them all say, yes, we should be doing more to protect the environment. Yes, we should be investing in renewable energy. Like I said, the only disagreements that exist are in the halls of Congress. We're actually all United on this United against an industry that is spending 200 million every 18 months, but they're not always winning. We're getting some victories here. They may be small. We may feel that they don't do enough. You know, the numbers show us, they don't do enough, but we're getting small victories here and there, which of course is always better than getting absolutely nothing so they can spend all the money they want. But the tide is shifting both literally and metaphorically. And as that tide continues to shift more and more people are demanding action.

60% O
60-of-americans-say-democracy-is-in
A new poll has found that 60% of Americans believe that democracy is in serious danger. The only problem is that the Party divide yields wildly different results. Republicans believe that Democracy is in danger because Democrats are rigging elections; Democrats believe that Democracy is in trouble because Republicans are trying to suppress voters (and also because of the violence of January 6th.) Yes, one Party is correct and the other is wrong, and Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why this divide exists.

According to a new poll this week, 60% of Americans say that democracy is in danger here in the United States. And of course, that headline grabbed everybody's attention from the people who say, see, I told you, to the people who say, can we calm it down a little bit with the dooms day talk. I happen to be in the latter camp too, by the way. But here's what's interesting to me about this poll and this is the reason I'm talking about it is because there are stark differences, both Republicans and Democrats, by the way, think that democracy is in danger. They just think it's in danger for different reasons. So when you drill down into this poll of the 60% that say, yeah, we're screwed, on the Republican side they say we're screwed because those Democrats keep stealing elections. They're rigging elections and that is why democracy cannot survive here in the United States. But then over on the Democratic side, they actually have real fears that are founded in reality.
They say that democracy is in trouble because you have Republicans passing these ridiculous restrictive voter suppression laws. They also say, by the way, look at what happened on January 6th, t

For the 2nd year in a row, Florida's Republican governor Ron DeSantis beat out Donald Trump as the choice of most conservatives at a Colorado conservative summit. After the poll results from last year, Trump began to distance himself from DeSantis and wasn't shy about criticizing the Florida governor, so it will be interesting to see how he reacts after losing to him for a second year in a row. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

At the Western conservative summit this past weekend in Colorado, Ron DeSantis, once again, second year in a row, actually beat Donald Trump as the number one choice of those in attendance to lead the Republican ticket in 2024, Ron DeSantis received 71% of the support from the individuals there. Now it's important to remember everybody was allowed to vote as many times as they want. Basically go through a list of conservatives, mark, everybody. You would like to see whoever got the most votes. Number one, number two, so on and so forth. So DeSantis had 71%. Donald Trump had 67% in third place. Of course was Ted Cruz of 28% in fourth place. Oddly enough, Ben Carson with 24%. Um, that's the one to me obviously stuck out as a little weird. I mean, Ben Carson has not even been in the national spotlight since the Trump administration ended. And he really wasn't even in the spotlight for the last few years of the Trump administration, but Hey, still 24% of people at that conference said, yeah, I'd like to see Ben Carson in that role, but the Ben Carson vote, the Ted Cruz votes.
Those aren't gonna Trump off, but the DeSantis vote will think back. As I said this the second year in a row. So this happened again last year at this exact same summit DeSantis beat Trump, but he only beat him by about two points last year. This time he's beaten him by four. And that was also around the time we started to see Donald Trump kind of distance himself from Ron DeSantis. He wasn't afraid anymore to level attacks against him. He in fact, sometimes publicly went out and went against what Ron DeSantis was saying, especially on the issue of COVID vaccines. So it's gonna be interesting to see how Donald Trump reacts to this. I mean, after all we're in crunch time, folks, Republican debates for the 2024 ticket are going to start at the end of next summer. Okay. We are 14 months away, likely from the first Republican debates, if there is a large slate of candidates.
So Trump's got a year, he's got a year to try to convince people that DeSantis should not be at the top. Cuz if DeSantis goes into those debates with the same kind of momentum he has now, Trump is finished and that believe it or not is actually rather terrifying. DeSantis is exactly like Donald Trump except far more successful. He doesn't come across as brash and you know, angry and bitter and selfish as Donald Trump does, which of course has allowed Ron DeSantis to be far more successful than Donald Trump could ever imagine. And that is one of the
Biggest reasons we ought to be afraid. Now Trump still beats DeSantis in all of the national polls, right? This was just a straw poll at this one convention that basically shows the same thing it showed last year. Probably the same people showing up for it. So I don't know how much stock we put into it. We know Trump puts a lot of stock into it, but Trump is still leading in all of the national polls, usually by more than 20 points, but that could change the straw poll could change things. It could mean nothing. We have to wait and see what happens. But one thing we can pretty much guarantee is that we're gonna see a lot more anger from Donald Trump against Ron DeSantis within the next 12 months.
