The Republican Party has finally realized that they have a very serious problem with young voters. The problem isn't JUST that young voters overwhelmingly reject them - but also that as the younger generations age, they aren't becoming more conservative as previous generations have. This doesn't bode well for the Party's future, and Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why this is happening.

A lengthy new report on the hill shows that Republicans are starting to freak out a little bit, the party itself over the fact that they are absolutely losing young voters left and right here in the United States, about 65% of voters between the ages of 18 and 30 support Democrats over Republicans. Republicans only get about 35% of that age group, which together with the millennials, makes up the largest voting block here in the United States, even bigger than the baby boomers. And they're wondering, where the hell did we go wrong? Why can't we attract these darn young people? Why don't they like tax cuts for the rich? Why don't they like our attacks on women's reproductive freedom? Why don't they like our culture war issues? And the answer, of course, is quite simple. This younger generation, uh uh, both the 18 to 30 year olds as well as the millennials who are a little bit older than that, they're far more progressive than their predecessors. They're far more accepting of different people, whether it's immigrants or whether it's the L G B T Q community. They openly embrace these people and they don't see them as pariahs. They don't see them as a group that we need to be discriminating against with legislation. They welcome them as equals as we all should. So that's why the culture war stuff is not attracting these young voters. On the policy side, this is an age group that overwhelmingly cares about the issue of climate change something republicans have been ignoring for many decades now. So you're not gonna win 'em over with that. Beyond that, Republicans have absolutely no policy to speak of other than cutting taxes for the wealthy. Like that's their only non culture war policy issue is, well, we go to cut taxes, even with the new Republican majority coming into the house. Now, what's their first order of business? If they can sort out the McCarthy stuff, making the Trump tax cuts of 2017 permanent, the, the young voter doesn't care about that. They don't want it, and it certainly doesn't help them in any way whatsoever. So that's why they're struggling with this age group. But it gets a little worse for Republicans when you dig more into the data because not only does the data show that this group by almost two to one favors Democrats over Republicans, but it also shows that this age group, as they get older, they're not becoming more conservative, which is what happened with all the previous age groups. So you've got your millennials, you've got your Gen Z generation getting older, not old, old yet, but they're getting older and they're not becoming more conservative. See, that's the real problem. It's not just that you lost the younger generation and oh, we gotta wait 20 Years years for them to come over to our side. It's the flip that's not happening, and that's what's freaking the Republican party out even more because the people that are voting Republican are dying off. That's what happens as you age. And as that age group continues to get smaller, you've got a whole new generation of progressives coming up in the wings, and that doesn't bode well for the Republican party's longevity. Now, that's not to say that the Republican party is going away. I would love for it too. It might in the future, you know, two, three generations down the line. It's something that is absolutely possible if this trend continues. But until then, with each passing year, the ranks of the Democrats are gonna grow and the ranks of the Republicans are gonna continue to shrink. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp1Fym6LOj8

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is not a friend to the press by any stretch of the imagination, and it was recently revealed that he has an "enemies list" that the state is using to target certain journalists. One particular journalist that has been singled out by the administration is Thomas Kennedy, and he recently joined Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins for a discussion on what the state has done to him after they deemed him to be a threat.

You, as I mentioned earlier too, you've had some run-ins really with this administration, because you have shown up, you've been as a member of the press, you know, at some of the, these, these press gatherings, you know, some of these events that he's done and you have yourself become essentially a target of this administration. They, they know who you are and they're not very fond of you and, you know, because you're out there and you're actually telling these stories, you're getting words out there. But I want you to tell all the listeners here, you know, what, what's happened to you, you know, throughout some of these events that you've attended here? Because I, I've seen it on Twitter and I want everybody to, to know the real story of what's going on here. Yeah, sure. So basically I've been a long standing critic of Ron DeSantis, even before COVID. I just found that, you know, his, things that he's done, his pro corporate legislation. He's been very anti-immigrant and has passed legislation that has enhanced the cooperation between federal immigration enforcement and municipalities here in the state. So a lot of the, the things that he pushes, I'm just vehemently oppos ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNt_K48jcFE

Florida's Republican governor Ron DeSantis is absolutely adamant that there will be no mask mandates as children prepare to head back to school. He's so adamant about it that he has actually threatened to BAN any rules requiring children to wear masks. Children are dying from COVID. Florida is the #1 spot in the country for COVID. But DeSantis would rather virtue signal to his idiotic base than take basic, simple steps to keep our children safe. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis made it absolutely crystal clear this week that even though he supports vaccinations and hopes everybody goes and gets vaccinated. He'll be damned if he's going to let Florida counties, school districts and individual schools themselves put mask mandates in place. And he says, if you put mask mandates in place for the children who are coming back to school, in some cases in just a week or two, you put a mask mandate in place and I will have the government of the state overrule it. You cannot force these children, he says, to wear face coverings while indoors in a school, surrounded by other people, because I'll overturn it. Basically what he's saying is that, hey, I know Florida's the worst state in the country for COVID right now and cases have doubled in just the last week and they're continuing to go up. But if you try to do something to protect children, I'm a come after you. That's what he's saying. Here is a quote of what he said that shows just how brain dead this moron is. At the end of the day, we got to start putting our kids first. We got to look out for their education. Is it really comfortable? Is it really healthy for them to be muzzled ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI7fPF5upDg

Democratic Representative Pete Aguilar told CNN this week that Donald Trump is "absolutely" engaging in witness tampering. Rep. Aguilar sits on the January 6th Committee, and he said that Trump's suggestion of pardons for those involved could certainly be seen as an attempt to influence who does and does not testify before the Committee. But that may not be the only way that Trump is trying to influence witnesses, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

During an interview on CNN yesterday, democratic representative Mike Aguilar was asked by a CNN host if he believes Donald Trump engaged in witness tampering by offering pardons to the capital riots, to which Aguilar responded. Absolutely. Oh, there you have it. He did go on though. And I think the question is more from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, you know, where, where are they? Do they support this? When is enough enough? And that's a good question too, but first let's talk about the witness tampering before we get into the other part of that, the witness tampering of course, would be Donald Trump going out there dangling pardon in front of these individuals, which would in turn basically make them not wanna cooperate, right? They wanna pledge their loyalty to Trump anew because he's the one that would pardon them. And of course his other reports that came out yesterday showed Donald Trump actually did consider pardoning these individual individuals during his last two weeks in office. But luckily they were unable to figure out how a blanket, pardon of that magnitude would actually work, especially when nobody had been charged yet. So pardoning these people is in fact, something that Donald Trump did want to do, and c ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOUIKW81yD8
