Lindsey Graham has been dying to go to war with Iran since the early days of the Iraq War, and he believed that the attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities this past weekend would finally allow his wish to be granted. But when Trump didn’t immediately start a war, Graham begged him on Twitter to take “decisive action” against the country, which didn’t make Trump happy. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.   Link – https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/461814-graham-implores-trump-to-take-decisive-action-against-iran Become a member today!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYWIEbibRcZav6xMLo9qWWw/join Support us by becoming a monthly patron on Patreon, and help keep progressive media alive!: https://www.patreon.com/TheRingofFire Spread the word!

Donald Trump is going to such great lengths to attack Ron DeSantis that he's starting to sound like a Progressive. On Wednesday, Trump took his strongest shot against DeSantis to date, calling out all of the horrible statistics on crime, education, and COVID that the state has lived through under DeSantis' tenure. But Trump had better be careful going this route - it is going to wake people up to how horrible Republicans are at governing, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

With his recent attacks on Governor Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump is actually starting to sound more like a progressive commentator than a Republican politician. Donald Trump hit it. D uh, Ron DeSantis this week on the crime rate in Florida, the Covid death rate in Florida, the crappy education system that we're living under. And remarkably, everything that Donald Trump said is true, and I know that because those are all things that I have sat here at Ring of Fire and said on the air. So let me read you these posts that Donald Trump sent out on truth social this week. Now that Ron Des Sanctimonious is finally admitting he's in the race by beginning to fight back, and now that his polls have crashed. So he has no other choice. Let me explain the facts. He is for a Republican and average governor, he got 1.2 million less votes in Florida than me. He fought for massive cuts in social security in Medicare and wanted social security minimum age to be raised to 70 years old or more. He is a disciple of Paul Ryan and did whatever Ryan told him to do in education. Florida ranks among the worst in the country and on crime statistics, Florida ranked third worst in murder, third worst in rape, and third worst in aggravated assault for 2022, Jacksonville was ranked as one of the top 25 major crime cities in the country with Tampa and Orlando, not doing much better on education. Florida ranks number 39 in health and safety in the country, number 50 in affordability, and number 30 in education, in childcare. Hardly greatness there. The fact is Ron is an average governor, but the best by far in the country in one category, public relations, where he easily ranks number one. But it is all a mirage. Just look at the facts and figures. They don't lie. And we don't want Ron as our president, Donald Trump, welcome to the resistance. I guess. Um, listen, he's not wrong about those rankings here in the state of Florida, which by the way, it's not just because of DeSantis. We have had 25 years of solid Republican rule here in the state of Florida, and it's been horrible for our education system, for our health system, for our environment, for our economy. Every measure has gotten worse since Republicans solidified their control in the state of Florida. And as I pointed out earlier this week, uh, talking about the crime rate here, which is something Republicans love to hit the Democrats on in their Democratic states. Uh, Florida has actually seen an increase in violent crimes, murders, assaults, batteries, things like that, uh, but a decrease in property crime. Whereas the out of control crime in New York that Republicans talk about, they've actually seen a reduction in violent crime, but an increase in property crime. So, like I've said, you're more likely to get killed here in Florida, but you're more likely to, uh, lose some money in the state of New York. I, I'd rather lose money than my life though. But again, these are true statistics. We're we're doing horrible in all of these measures that Trump talked about. He even talked about the Covid death rate. 86 plus thousand people dead from Covid. But here's the thing, ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT2RtsOE4Wk

Hi, I'm Mike Papantonio and this is America's Lawyer. The whispers from Democrats about replacing Biden in 2024 are growing louder and more and more party members are starting to realize maybe this isn't the guy for us. We'll explain what's happening. Starbucks has declared war on unions with their company, but workers are refusing to back down. We'll bring you the details. And a group of Olympic gymnasts, well, they're suing the FBI for failing to listen to their warnings and really failing to do their job where it comes to sexual abuse. All that and more, it's all coming up. Don't go anywhere. America's Lawyer starts right now. Democrats are slowly starting to raise the alarm bells about president Biden's chances in 2024 and they desperately want someone else to run. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins joins me to talk about this and many other issues. You followed, I mean, I think when I, when I start looking at everything you were the first person I read or heard that started talking about, really? I mean, you know, is this what we want? Now, now the New York Times and Washington Post and some of the mainstream kind of things that have always been there for him, they're starting to say, ah, maybe not. Yeah. I mean, look, you and I had actually talked a couple weeks ago, there was a report that there were some whispers, you know, in back rooms, oh, we don't want Biden. But now those whispers are turning into very loud voices with members of Congress, strategists, party donors and regular voters too, saying, this guy's not gonna win in 2024. He's gonna bring us all down. We have to do something. And, and when you think about it too, you've got two years, I mean, less than two years, really, to find a good replacement. Exactly. And, and the clock's ticking. Well, we should have started already. He needs to do what's best for the country. He needs to announce and say, I'm not going to run. He needs to clear the field and say, I'm not going to run because I'm gonna be 82 years old when I run and I'm gonna be 82, 86 if I finish my second term. It's just the right thing to do. So you have, you have the Democrats now finally venting their frustration. They can't ignore it anymore. The Democrats that were so horrified to say anything critical because they were afraid it was gonna hurt the Democratic party. The Democratic party is already hurt. Yeah. I mean, I mean, let's get, let's get. So, so now what we have is we have the public, maybe that's driving the train. They're ignoring what Washington thinks and they're saying, maybe the public is driving the train and New York Times is reacting to it, Washington Post, all the big newspapers that with real journalism reacting to it. Well, and another thing too is you gotta look at what's happening over on the Republican side. Sure, Trump is still at the top, but there's cracks starting to form. And you have a lot of Republicans saying, look, we don't want a 78 year old guy who's just gonna be talking about his bitterness about 2020. So we look at Ron DeSantis, he's younger. You know, he, he doesn't have the gray hair yet. He's still, you know, a regular looking guy. So they're flocking to him for the same reasons that Democrats are starting to get upset with Biden. And Trump needs to do the same thing. Trump needs to say, I'm not gonna run. #rof #trofire #theringoffire #progressivenews ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnypMkDbSIQ

Republican Texas governor Greg Abbott intentionally slowed down the supply of goods coming from Mexico into the United States in order to disrupt the supply chain and make President Biden look bad. While Abbott's blockade only lasted a week, it cost hundreds of millions of dollars in lost goods, and experts are predicting that it could take weeks, possibly even months, before the disruptions that he caused to level out again. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

In an attempt to stick it to the Biden administration last week, Republican, Texas, governor Greg Abbot, decided to break the supply chain specifically to stop for one full week. Most of the commerce coming across that Mexican border. And he did this by instituting these mandatory new, very long, very involved safety tr uh, checks for the trucks coming true through, you know, making sure you're not bringing in illegal immigrants. We've gotta search you. We've gotta search underneath. We've gotta search above inside taking hours upon hours upon hours for every single truck, which eventually created a 30 hour backlog for trucks, trying to bring things like produce and automotive parts from Mexico into the United States at a cost to Americans of roughly 150 million per day. And yeah, this lasted five days. Doesn't seem like that long. Right? Well, 150 million a day times, five days, you're looking at 750 million that the United States economy lost because of Greg Abbot's little political theater down there, which is exactly what this is. They basically admitted. They wanted to show the Biden administration just how bad the immigration situation was. And that these wer ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxcU84H2qBU
