The Republican Party has put themselves in a horrible position: They want Donald Trump to energize his base to vote for them in the midterms, but they also don't want him attacking other Republicans as he does it. Unfortunately for them, they can't have it both ways, and Trump absolutely cannot be contained when he feels that someone isn't being loyal enough to him. Republican strategists are now concerned that this in-fighting could cost them a shot at retaking Congress in the midterms, and Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains how that might play out.   Link - https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-midterms/  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 Find our merchandise at Teespring: https://teespring.com/stores/rof-store Spread the word!

One of the things I love about my job here is that if you do it long enough, everything starts to basically repeat itself. And there's been one story that's actually been repeating itself in the news cycle every couple of weeks, and sure enough it's back. And that story is Republican strategists freaking out behind the scenes, worrying that Donald Trump is going to cost the Republicans the midterm elections. And it's a legitimate fear for these Republicans. After all, they have more seats to defend in the Senate. You know, they've got to gain, what is it like six, seven seats in the House in order to have the slim advantage. They would love to see a red wave, but they've got more to defend, so they have more money to spend, that they have to spend, I should say. And that also makes them more vulnerable, at least in the Senate, to Donald Trump's, let's call it his ridiculousity. You know, when he goes out there and looks like he's wearing his pants backwards on stage, even though Snopes says he's not. When he says stupid things. When he picks fights with incumbent Republicans who are up for reelection in 2022, like Lisa Murkowski he ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oem-jaPVxsg

During an appearance on Charlie Kirk's podcast on Monday, failed Republican candidate Kari Lake doubled down on claims she made over the weekend at CPAC that there is some sort of Republican "mafia" that is trying to bribe her to get out of politics. She claimed that she turned down a "bribe" and that they are trying to "make her an offer she can't refuse." She says that she's worried the next offer might not be so friendly. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this disturbing diatribe.

Yesterday failed gubernatorial candidate from Arizona Republican. Carrie Lake appeared on Charlie Kirk's podcast where she elaborated on a very weird thing that she had suggested at cpac, which is that the Republican establishment has apparently offered to bribe her to leave politics forever. Now, she hinted at that during her CPAC speech, and she elaborated it on it, uh, during the podcast for Charlie Kirk. And here's what she said. This is one of the weirdest things honestly, I think I've ever heard, and that's saying a lot coming from a Republican, I'm not going to get out of politics because I'm not going to let the same people who stole this election take our movement away and silence us. I don't know for sure who they are, but I have an idea who they are. And I think it's more of the, I hate to say it, the rhino wing of our party, they are trying to make MAGA go away. They don't want America first candidates. And it's kind of like the mafia making you an offer you can't refuse. But I refused the offer, and the next offer may not be a friendly one, if you know what I mean. So I kind of put that out there, a little bit of a life insurance plan, if you will, to let people know. So Carrie Lake mentioned at CPAC that the Republicans are trying to get her out of the party, but she only mentioned that in case the next offer is, we're going to kill you. Is that, is that what you're trying to imply? Carrie Lake, the Republican mafia as you put it, do they have a hit out on you? I thi thi this is, this is nuts. We have, I, in my opinion, like we're entering the territory of paranoid delusions with Carrie Lake, okay? This is no longer just a grifter out there trying to prolong her loss so that she stays in the limelight and gets invited on the Charlie Kirk Show. If she believes what she is saying here, then this is somebody who could be suffering from paranoid delusions. If you genuinely think that there is a so-called Republican mafia prepared to whack you all, because what, why you're out there saying the election was stolen. There's plenty of other Republicans saying elections were stolen, they're all wrong, but none of them have been targets of the Republican mafia. They're not being made offers that they can't refuse. None of this makes any sense. But, uh, as I, I've started saying recently, maybe we ought to start looking at these not as talking points, but as symptoms, symptoms of a bigger problem. I think Carrie Lake at this point might be buying into her own delusions and actually starting to believe this crap that at one point I firmly believe she knew was a lie, much like Donald Trump. It was very clear immediately following the election, he knew he lost. And I say that because those closest to him in the White House said that. But the more he bought into the lie, the more he listened to people like Rudy Giuliani, the more he actually started to believe it himself. Every time he repeats it, he's reaffirming it to himself. And Carrie Lake has now, I, I, in my opinion again, kind of entered the same territory. She's repeated the lies so much that even though the public doesn't believe her, she now believes her. She has gas lit herself into believing these crazy things. And now she's out there saying that the Republican mafia is gonna make her an offer she can't refuse and it's not gonna be a friendly one. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT5fsLcnUC8

Donald Trump held another rally this past weekend, and experts agree that this isn't a good look. Specifically, they are warning that his talking points about the indictments that came down last week could lead to even more legal trouble for him. Trump isn't trying to necessarily deny the charges, he's just saying they aren't a big deal - the same thing his children are now saying. This could backfire in serious ways, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Over the weekend. Donald Trump held yet another rally in the state of Florida. This time and experts are warning that this is really going to make things hard for the legal cases that could be coming against him specifically from the state of New York after last week's indictments, here's what's happening. And in fact, by the way, it's not just Trump at his rally, his kids are now going out there repeating the same message. And it's this no big deal. So the guy didn't pay some taxes on a few things they're going after him because it's some kind of political persecution in order to get to Donald Trump to harm the Trump family somehow. And it's all, no big deal folks. So rather than saying outright that no, none of this happened. It's all fake. They're out there trying to say, well, of course he did it, but yeah, I mean, it's, it's not that big of a deal. It is a big deal. And you know, based on the available evidence, it does appear that he did it. And when you're out there knowing that you could be facing indictments yourself, knowing that your company was indicted for these things, trying to convince the publ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68634G7Y5-Q

A Republican senator recently blasted President Biden for being too “woke,” but do the voters feel the same way? Mike Papantonio & Farron Cousins discuss more. link - https://dailycaller.com/2022/09/23/kennedy-biden-woke-inflation-bong/ Check out our merch by visiting our store: https://www.buyrof.com/ Subscribe to our podcast: http://www.ROFPodcast.com 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!

A Republican senator recently blasted President Biden for being too woke. But do the voters feel the same way? Okay. You're gonna have to answer the voters feel the same way. I, all I can look at is, is he's killing the Democrats coming up to midterms. Now, voters, maybe, maybe there's other polls that show it. But the good news to me in this story is woke is really on its way out. I mean, this whole culture cancellation, the, the whole, that whole idea is really become so offensive to so many people that these, you know, snowflake types that are still living in woke, woke world. It's, it's kind of disappearing on 'em little by little. Well, I I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that people on the left are not doing what so many on the right want to accuse them of all the time. Okay. Like, Biden's a lot of things. But, but woke, I'm, I'm not seeing that coming out of this guy. He is not shoving anything down our throats the way that the Republicans would like it to be. So when. Well, this, this story came from the Daily Caller, right? Right. Okay. And so their conclusion was that he, that this isn't true, that he's not as woke, because that's not what I read. They do think he is. Yeah. Okay. But I'm telling you, based on what I see and based on what I see online, because I spend a lot of time on social media and you don't see it to the degree that you did a couple years ago. Right. And. Do you think, do you think it's disappearing? I mean, do you think that this, that you're reading all people are so frigging tired of it. You know, you got Bill Maher attacking it. You got late night comedy attacking it to where this kinda snowflake image of wokeness. I mean, they're, they're kind of perceived as, you know, childlike spoiled brats that have, don't, that have no ability to think critically. That if it doesn't, if they don't agree with it, we're gonna tear the statue down. If I don't agree with the person that's coming to speak at my university, we're not gonna let 'em come speak. You see, that is so dangerous, man. It, it is. And people are seeing it. Well, it is, but what, where they're seeing it come from is mostly on the right. Okay. We have Republican talking heads that have been melting down for weeks now because the Little Mermaid is gonna be black. They have done segment after segment. They have millions of people up in arms because oh my God, the Little Mermaid's black. Those are the things that Republicans are freaking out about while people on their left are saying it's, it's, it's a mermaid. You know what, what? It's not a real thing. Why are you freaking out? So, so you don't really think there was any wokeness hysteria that took place over the last couple years? I mean, I'm curious. I mean, to a degree people have been pushing what would I guess be called woke. But when you see the attacks from the other side, you know, when anything kind of bursts their bubble, it's that hypocrisy that really makes a lot of people say, well, wait a minute. You know, what, what actually is going on here? Is this being crammed down our throats? Or is this a bunch of reactionaries trying to get clicks and views? And so you, you think the Democrats don't really lead that image. You think the Republicans have come in and created that image for the Democrats? Yes. Okay. And now that is a problem with some voters. Obviously, you're not gonna attract anybody from the far right. Right. When they've created this image. But some people in the middle may think, oh my God, all I hear about is woke, even though it's all coming from the right. So are we just, are we just seeing the headlines that they, if you read the headlines, it's almost as if you have this class of people, call 'em the woke group, whatever the hell that is. And they believe that, that, that the American public. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlfTESaark4
