Joe Manchin received praise from former President Donald Trump on Monday morning for saying that he won't support getting rid of the filibuster to end Republican obstruction. Trump said that Manchin was right to do this, and that he's always liked Manchin - echoing claims Manchin actually made not that long ago. But this is also incredibly hypocritical, as Trump wanted McConnell to kill the filibuster when he was president. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

On Monday morning, Donald Trump called into Stuart Varney's program on Fox business channel to celebrate Joe Manchin and to talk about what a great guy Joe Manchin is. And Trump said that Joe Manchin has done the right thing by announcing that he is not going to support any kind of efforts to kill the filibuster in the Senate. And Donald Trump was just pleased as punch. And let's not forget, by the way, a couple of weeks ago, reports came out where Joe Manchin was actually talking about the fact that he had regular conversations with Donald Trump when he was president, they agreed on a lot of things. They got along well, Joe Manchin said, and now because Joe Manchin came out and said, listen, I'm going to let Republicans obstruct everything because I'm an idiot. Donald Trump says, yeah, I really like the guy. He said, it's a very important thing. He's doing the right thing and it's a very important thing. Cool. You literally said the same thing three times in one sentence, but okay. Whatever. And that tells you everything you need to know about Joe Manchin. It also, by the way, exposes the hypocrisy of Donald Trump who had repeatedly throughout his administration, begged Mitch McConnell to kill t ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY5pIR_hZoo

As these workers go back to making less money, they will have less money to spread around locally, creating a ripple effect that could cost economies around $12 billion. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening and why Republicans don't care.

Republican governors across the country, I believe we're up to 26 now, have decided to opt out of the additional unemployment payments coming from the federal government, the extra $300 per week, 26 Republican governors have said, thanks, but no thanks anymore. We would rather force our people to go back to work for poverty wages than let them continue to make more money by getting unemployment. Well, the joint economic committee in Congress this week decided to take a look at what that's going to do to local communities. And it turns out they found that this is going to cost local economies, $12 billion over the next few months, by taking away the extra unemployment money and instead forcing these people to go back to work for poverty wages. So, instead of, as Republicans say, we're going to boost the economy by forcing people back to work, the numbers, the data shows that this is actually going to hurt the economies. This is a worst decision than letting people co ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D8WwpGaH50

Peloton is being investigated by the department of justice and homeland security, interesting, over its problematic treadmill, which caused serious injuries and even death in a child. Meanwhile, the exercise equipment company also faces lawsuits over their product recalls. I have Stephen Luongo joining me now to talk about this. This story has been kicking around for a long time, you know, and we've done this story before. And for some reason, the folks, I guess, that don't have anything to do, that want to criticize everything happens in a show like this say, well, these are just stupid kids. They're, you know, stupid. It's, blame it on the parents. Blame it on the stupid kid. That's far from what's happening here, isn't it? Absolutely. And what really set this investigation off with Peloton is that a six year old was killed. That happened earlier this year in March of 2021. And then from that point, the consumer product safety commission got involved, started doing research as far as what is the design of this treadmill? The Peloton treadmill plus is really what the product is. And what they're finding is that the interlocking slats that they have are creating a dangerous situation, as well as needing higher elevation in order for the treadmill to work properly. And that's, what's causing pets and small children to be harmed and unfortunately death in one case. Yeah. So what happens, we see it happen all the time and ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8opJ0lix0VQ

Both corporate media and social media companies are hoping for big pay days during this year’s campaign cycle, and they’ve spent millions lobbying Washington lawmakers to make it easier to hide where the money is coming from. Mike Papantonio is joined by Independent newspaper publisher Rick Outzen to discuss.

Both corporate media and social media companies are hoping for big paydays during this year's campaign cycle. And they've spent millions, millions lobbying Washington lawmakers to make it easier to hide when they give money to big campaigns. They don't, for example, if you have a group that gives a hundred million dollars to 10 or 12 senators, whatever it may be, don't you want to know if that group is a weapons manufacturer? Don't you wanna know if that group is exclusively a pharmaceutical group that's trying to change the law? And don't you wanna be able to say, well, that Senator took all this money for pharmaceutical, from the industry, and oh, by the way, he voted 100% for the pharmaceutical industry? Isn't that something we ought to know, even with Citizens United, as bad as that decision is? Well, it is. And the other thing that's happening, and we see it in state legislatures, Mike, is that because of term limits for state legislatures, the lobbyists are writing the bills. They're actually creating. Talk about ALEC. Talk about ALEC. ALEC, oh yeah. You look at ALEC, all the gun control, or anti-gun control, all those bills are coming. They have a big conference. They write it. They drafted, I know of state senators that had their bills drafted by ALEC. By ALEC. We've seen the same thing with the weapons industry. Now understand, let's say it again, the group actually drafts the legislation. Exactly. We've seen cases where it's word for word. State to state. State to state. You see it state to state. The exact same. So, this money that's coming from the pharmaceutical industry, or it's coming from Wall Street, or it's coming from the weapons industry, the point is, we ought to be able to look behind that. Now, media's not gonna tell you. You've got corporate media hiding. I mean, they're doing everything to lobby against this, aren't they? Right. They are. National Broadcasters are saying, oh no, we don't wanna have to disclose this. Why? Well, because, they're making too much money on it. And one reason you have this America's Lawyer is because the stories that you need to tell about PFAS about, gosh, you know. Opioids. Opioids, you're looking at all of this, they were making so much money you could not get the story told. Yeah, that's true. There were times, Rick, when I would show up for MSNBC, I was a commentator with Ed Schultz primarily. And I'd be ready to do the show. I'd be ready to do the segment. Bayer corporation is making a product that's killing people. I should be able to tell that story, shouldn't I? And in the count, no, we gotta change the story. In the count 10, 9, 8. Gotta change the story. Talk about some inane kind of topic like constitutional law, some idiotic part of constitutional law. And so the industry that's supposed to be telling us this story is actually part of the people who are hiding the truth of the story. Why do you think, for example, we talk about this often, why do you think MSNBC has commercials for Raytheon? Are you gonna go buy a Patriot missile? Probably not. But they do that because Raytheon gives them advertising dollars. And when Raytheon wants to start a war, what do you think MSNBC's gonna do? They're gonna do the same thing they've always done all the way back to Iraq. They're gonna jump on the weapons industry bandwagon. Who was it they fired that used to, they fired early on because he was telling the story about what a, Donahue. Phil Donahue. Yeah, Phil Donahue. MSNBC fired him because he was telling the truth. Well, Ed Schultz is another example. Ed Schultz, they got rid of because of TPP. He said TPP, and first of all, they hated that he thought Hillary Clinton was an idiot. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3s84RyzV6U
