If you think that anti-vaxxers in the United States are bad, just take a look at what is happening in Europe. In Italy, for example, a growing problem is emerging where anti-vaxxers are intentionally trying to catch COVID, with some of them actually paying money to get infected. The rationale behind these moves is incredibly stupid, and one high-profile individual has already died from doing this (from COVID, of course.) Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

If you think anti-vaxers over here in the United States are about as bad as they come. Then I would like to direct your attention to the European union over in Europe. Right now, there is a growing trend of individuals attempting to intentionally catch C so that they don't have to get vaccine what's happening. Is that in a lot of European countries, uh, uh, Italy, one of the largest, they have very strict vaccine mandates in place for a lot of venues, including restaurants. If you wanna get in, you either have to show proof of vaccination or proof that you have recovered from COVID and therefore have some degree of natural immunity. So rather than going and getting the shot, many individuals are saying, I don't trust the shot. Let me chance it with COVID instead. So they have started hosting COVID spreader events, some of them actually up to $150 to attend these COVID events, where they bring in COVID positive. People have them co-mingle with the individuals who have not yet been infected in hopes of giving them COVID and they're doing this because they don't want to get the shot. So they're actually paying money to get infected with COVID ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujKL95rvRoU

Republican Senator Mike Lee didn't hold back after he erroneously received a voicemail from Rudy Giuliani on January 5th, 2021, with Lee reaching out to a member of then-President Trump's staff, warning them that Rudy was a "walking malpractice." Giuliani meant to phone Tommy Tuberville to get him to object to the electoral college certification, but instead called Lee and left a voicemail that leaves little doubt about his legal incompetence. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

So last week we got the final report from the January 6th select committee, and in that report, a portion of it released on Friday. They revealed that Republican Senator, Mike Lee, who of course was one of the Republican senators working with the White House, trying to overturn the election results. But even this guy, Republican Senator Mike Lee, thought that Rudy Giuliani was, as he put it, a walking malpractice. So here's what happened. Rudy Giuliani made a phone call to Mike Lee. Mike Lee didn't answer, so he left him a voicemail and the voicemail said, I'm calling you because I want to discuss with you how they're trying to rush this hearing and how we need you, our Republican friends, to try to just slow it down so we can get these legislatures to get more information to you. That was the voicemail that Giuliani left for Republican Senator Mike Lee, except Giuliani didn't mean to call Mike Lee. Giuliani actually addressed this voicemail to new Republican senator at the time, Tommy Tuberville from Alabama. So Rudy Giuliani picks up his phone, tries to call Tommy Tuberville, somehow calls Mike Lee. Okay? I don't even know how you get those two names mixed up in your, in your contact list. They shouldn't be anywhere near each other unless those the only two names you have in there. So somehow he massively screwed that up. So then Mike Lee gets this voicemail, texts it over to an aid of Donald Trump, and in his text he says this, you've gotta listen to that message. Rudy is walking malpractice. You can't make this up. I just got this voice message from Giuliani who apparently thought he was calling Senator Tuberville. Okay, so Giuliani's an idiot, that much is not new, right? We, we didn't need the select committee to go ahead and point that out because we all knew it. But what is fascinating to me is the fact that we have a Republican here, Mike Lee, who was working to overturn the election results. It's not like he was one of those people who said, no, it wasn't stolen. Biden won at Fair and Square, let's move on with our lives. No, he was one of the people who said, let's do what we can to overturn it. But even he wasn't buying what Rudy Giuliani was selling, and of course he's not wrong about him being a walking malpractice. I have said repeatedly over the last two years, Donald Trump probably has a very strong case to take Rudy to court for legal malpractice. That is how bad Rudy Giuliani has been as a lawyer for Donald Trump. And I think that's what Mike Lee was trying to get across to the Trump people like, Hey, if you want this to succeed, you're gonna have to find somebody a little bit better than Rudy Giuliani. Which of Course, course goes back to something I've also been saying for two years. Imagine how these things would've turned out if you didn't have the most incompetent people in the country trying to overturn the election. You know, if instead of Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump had hired Alan Dershowitz, things may have turned out a little bit differently. If instead of Sidney Powell, he had an actual brilliant legal mind in there, things may have gone differently. If instead of Mark Meadows, he would've had a Carl Rove, things would've been different. That's how close we came, and I believe that's what Mike Lee was trying to tell them. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRcMWCk59nA

Donald Trump somehow managed to sink to a new low this week when he mocked a Democratic lawmaker for crying over her husband's funeral. Debbie Dingell's husband passed away several years ago while Trump was president, and she took over his seat. But she's been a vocal Trump critic, and she recently went after him on CNN, so Trump decided to reopen that old wound and attack her for being sad that her husband had passed. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

This week, democratic lawmaker, Debbie Dingle, appeared on CNN, where she, as she's been known to do, took a few shots at Donald Trump, specifically his supporters. You know, she said that, uh, the Trump inspired threats against elected officials are, quote, getting worse. She also mentioned Donald Trump's Christmas message where he told everybody to rotten hell, uh, Dingle said quote, and I, quite frankly, I'm going to tell you what I, what I think it was one of the most pathetic Christmas greetings. I, I've heard when a former president of the United States who wants to return, tells people on Christmas Day that they can rotten hell, he is contributing to the divisiveness in division in this country, that that's not even that harsh of a criticism. Let's be honest. You could have gone scorched earth against the guy, but this is a very mild criticism in terms of all the criticisms we've seen of Donald Trump. But it was still enough to send Donald Trump over the edge, and he attacked Debbie Dingle, again, democratic lawmaker from Michigan by attacking her dead husband who had served in, in Congress before Debbie did. Um, and then he mocked her for crying when he died. Here's what Trump posted on truth social after again, this very mild criticism from Debbie Dingle. He said, our country is no longer respected mess, a nation in decline, a failing crime ridden country. When I gave as president her long serving husband, the absolute highest US honors for his funeral, a really big deal, she called me crying, almost uncontrollably to say that she couldn't believe I was willing to do that for a Democrat. She thanked me profusely. Two months later, she was back on the trail ranting and raving about Trump shot a focus on how badly the auto workers of Michigan and the USA as a whole are being treated by China, to which crooked Joe Biden has given his once great industry away. She was crying profusely because her husband of many decades had passed away, and she was honored at the time that Donald Trump did. You know, wasn't a dick about it. Let's be clear, like Trump decided he wasn't gonna be a, but now he's gonna be a and mock you for crying profusely because your spouse died. Now we know that Donald Trump doesn't actually have human emotions, you know, I mean, he buried his ex-wife Ivana on his golf course, and then they didn't even have the decency to mow her. So, yeah, this is a guy that doesn't care about human life. He doesn't care about human emotions. I mean, totally, you know, textbook sociopathic, but now he's mocking her for that. And let's keep in mind, this is not the first time that Donald Trump has gone after dingle at a Rally in Michigan, I believe it was earlier this year. He mentioned that her deceased husband, John Dingle, was looking up at them from hell. So yeah, somehow as bad as that statement was still, he decided to make it worse by mocking her for being upset about her deceased husband, Donald Trump, to say that he's a monster like that, that doesn't do it justice. We are dealing with a very deeply inhuman character here, here, just the most evil type of human being you can imagine. And, and, and I'm not just saying that because I hate Trump. I am saying this because you look at his words, you look at the way he treats people. How can anybody out there be cool with this? I know there's a lot of, you know, weird wackos in this country. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8ykbTbQjwI

Chaos in the House! Matt Gaetz successfully managed to get Kevin McCarthy kicked out as Speaker of the House, and now Republicans appear to be in complete disarray. To make things worse for the GOP, Donald Trump's fraud trial in New York began this week, and it hasn't gone his way at all. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins talks about all of these issues, and many more, with Cliff Schecter, host of the Blue Amp Channel on YouTube.
