Donald Trump has spent the last few days raging like a lunatic across multiple social media platforms about Judge Juan Merchan's decision to schedule his criminal sentencing for this coming Friday (after the judge ruled that he would NOT be tossing the felony convictions.) Merchan made the right decision, even if it was difficult to do, and Trump is angrier than ever that he still has to face justice. Newsmax host Wendy Bell went on an unhinged rant the other day about how much it "sucks" that she's not allowed to engage in name-calling on the network. Bell wanted to call former Republican Representative Liz Cheney a host of names, but lamented that she is forbidden from doing so. This is supposed to be a "news" network, but instead it has become a platform for MAGA grievances.According to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, the nation is both "at war" and "under siege" following the attacks that took place on New Year's Eve. But rather than thinking rationally about what happened and getting to the bottom of it, Graham is using the attacks as an opportunity to push through Donald Trump's nominees without proper vetting or confirmation hearings. Graham says that we have to push all the nominees through to protect the country, which is a complete lie, as Farron Cousins explains. Donald Trump is back to hating on windmills again for some bizarre reason. In a post on Truth Social, Trump once again attacked the renewable energy and our allies in the UK by saying that they are making a "huge mistake" by investing in windmills in the North Sea instead of oil drilling. Drilling in the area has been yielding fewer and fewer barrels of oil, so renewable energy is the smarter investment.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!
Jim Jordan has been piggy-backing off of Matt Gaetz for years, and now that Gaetz is no longer in the House, Jordan is still trying to protect his buddy. Jordan has been on a media blitz begging for the House Ethics report into Matt Gaetz to remain secret so that Gaetz still has a shot at becoming the Attorney General. Donald Trump is waiting until he gets back into office to seek retribution, as he's already going after media outlets that hurt his feelings over the past few years. Trump's lawyers have filed off several "demand letters" to media outlets claiming that they have to pay him $10 BILLION for their alleged "false" coverage of him during the campaign. This might be one of the most insane things Trump has ever tried to do.Donald Trump is attempting to bypass the standard FBI background check process for his cabinet picks, and is instead trying to use a private contractor to perform the "checks" for them. This is what will be turned over to the Senate when these people come before them for their confirmations, and there's a very obvious reason why Trump has decided to go this route. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.Donald Trump's cabinet picks are getting worse by the day, but there's a chance that he's picks are so bad that they can't cause any real, lasting damage to this country. That's not to say that they won't try and that they won't have success, but by packing his cabinet with extremists who have no regard for the rule of law, he could end up running right into the buzzsaw and instantly regret it. And that's assuming these people even pass their confirmation hearings. Farron Cousins explains what could happen.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalancedTwitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=enText and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!
During a radio interview at the end of last week, Donald Trump said that special prosecutor Jack Smith should be thrown out of the country, which according to the 14th Amendment, is unconstitutional. This statement came just one day after Trump had said that he will fire Smith "in two seconds" if he wins the election. He is obviously terrified of what lies ahead of him if he doesn't win, as Farron Cousins explains. With just days to go before the election, Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the endorsements of multiple high-profile Republican leaders from swing states and red states. This includes former Republican Representative Fred Upton from Michigan, the Republican mayor of Oklahoma City, and the former Republican Party Chairman of the state of Florida. These endorsements could carry a lot of weight, considering where they are coming from and the reasoning behind them. Farron Cousins explains what's happening. It was recently revealed that Donald Trump has paid his campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita a staggering $22 million in the last two years, a massive sum for a campaign that is currently in a cash crunch. The Lincoln Project didn't waste any time pointing out the fact that he was a "fool" and a "sucker" in a new ad that torches the convicted felon for being taken advantage of by multiple different campaign managers over the years. Farron Cousins explains what happened. Donald Trump has been hit with the label of "fascist" for the past week, and a new poll shows that the talking point is definitely working. The new poll shows that half the country (a majority) believe that Trump is a fascist, and nearly two-thirds of voters believe that he tells lies constantly. In other words, a majority of the country believes that Trump is a lying fascist, and they do NOT think the same about Vice President Kamala Harris. Farron Cousins explains what this could mean for next week's election. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!
Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Steve Bannon's lawyers have asked a judge to IMMEDIATELY let Bannon leave prison, in spite of the fact that he has only served two months of his four month sentence. They claim that he shouldn't have to sit in prison as he appeals his conviction, but that argument has already been ruled on by a judge. There's a much better explanation as to why Bannon suddenly wants out, and it has everything to do with Trump's campaign going down the toilet.Also, it appears that Donald Trump has, at least for the moment, lost yet another supporter - and this time it is a high profile supporter who actually spoke at his convention. Lila Rose told Politico last week that she would not be voting for Trump now (though that could change) due to his recent statement that he would NOT support a national ban on abortion. Other Trump supporters have also been furious about this decision, and it could cost Trump big time.And J.D. Vance just can't seem to get things right, and during a speech last week to a group of Boston Firefighters, Vance was booed consistently throughout the speech. The vice presidential candidate handled it about as well as could be expected, but you could tell that the boos were really starting to get to him by the time he finally left the stage.Finally, Donald Trump's campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said last week that the public doesn't care about Trump's posts on Truth Social, and she's either completely oblivious to what the rest of the campaign thinks or she's lying. According to Trump campaign aide David Urban, the posts are horrible and are absolutely hurting the campaign - a sentiment shared by other Trump staffers in interviews last week to Rolling Stone. Farron Cousins explains what Trump's staff really thinks of his posting habits.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalancedTwitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en
The dam has finally burst, and President Joe Biden has at last announced that he will not seek the Democratic nomination for the 2024 election. Whether it was his decision or the Democratic Party's is, quite frankly, irrelevant. All that matters now is who will replace him? Will there be a real choice, or will the Democratic machine inexorably spit out Vice President Kamala Harris as the only option? The question is especially vital given that Donald Trump is currently riding high, seeming to have unified the Republican Party around him.Piers Morgan brings together journalist Emily Austin, Vincent Oshana from the 'Patrick Bet-David Podcast', host and co-founder of 'The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur, host of 'Farron Balanced' and co-host of 'Ring of Fire' Farron Cousins, founder of Blackwater and ex-Navy SEAL Erik Prince and independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr for their takes on whether Biden's departure was a smart move to begin with, and who should or could pick up the gauntlet.

SCOTUS rules DOJ improperly charged January 6 defendants. Democrats panic after Biden's nightmare debate performance. Biden camp says he is not bowing out of the 2024 election.

Donald Trump went crying to reporters after a bad day in court on Monday, and he whined about the fact that the judge has set a firm date of April 15th for his hush money trial. This came after Trump was given a lifeline by the appeals court in his fraud trial ruling, but even that good news was overshadowed by the looming criminal trial. To make things worse, Trump's lawyers got yelled at by the judge in the hearing, which is not a good start for the trial team.Also, both CNN and MSNBC had no choice but to cut away from Donald Trump's victory speech following the reduction of his fraud trial bond on Monday because the former president would not stop lying. CNN began a brutal fact check of Trump after cutting away. This is how the media needs to be handling Donald Trump any time they cover him. They provided too much cover to him in the last two election cycles and they need to start getting it right.And Republicans in the House are experiencing a mass exodus of their members, and that has now left them with only a one seat majority (they can only afford to lose one Republican vote in any situation.) This hasn't gone unnoticed by conservative media, and Newsmax host Rob Finnerty tried to get answers from two Republican lawmakers during interviews this week, but none of the answers were satisfactory for Finnerty. Farron Cousins explains what's happening and why conservatives are freaking out. Finally, Judge Scott McAfee, the judge overseeing Donald Trump's RICO trial in Georgia, decided to give Trump even more special judicial treatment this week by agreeing to set a hearing date for Trump's arguments that the case should be thrown out on First Amendment grounds. That argument itself is laughable, but it is incredibly dangerous that the judge is willing to entertain Trump's idiotic court filings and further delay justice in this case.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalanced/Twitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en
Donald Trump's supporters, including those in Congress, have gone absolutely insane after a judge ruled Friday that he would NOT be kicking Fani Willis off the Georgia case. Trump's biggest fans have spent the past few days on social media railing against the decision and acting like they understand how the law works. They are claiming that the court is "corrupt" and that the "system is rigged," which are the usual claims they make when the law goes against them. Also, according to a bombshell new report, business associates linked to Donald Trump paid Alexander Smirnov at least $600,000 in the year 2020 - the very same year that he began lying to the FBI about the Biden family, for which Smirnov has now been indicted. The timing of the payments is sketchy, to say the least, especially considering the fact that there are no clear indications about why he was paid in the first place. Farron Cousins explains what we know, and more importantly.And right wing talker Alex Jones found himself in a bit of an odd position this past week when he posted a photo of himself on social media along with a caption that simply said "I will eat your Leftist ass." The Internet went crazy over the sexualized post, forcing Jones to come and out and say that he totally meant to do that. But he then went even further and said that it means he wouldn't hesitate to cannibalize people on the Left, which didn't make it any better. Finally, psychologist Dr. John Gartner, in a recent interview with Salon.com, laid into the corporate media for "normalizing" Donald Trump's cognitive decline while they also try to "pathologize" President Biden. Countless articles and news segments have been devoted to diagnosing President Biden, while very few (in mainstream media) have done the same with Trump, and Dr. Gartner is starting to get angry about the double standard and clear bias against Biden.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalanced/Twitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en

Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz announced before the Super Bowl on Sunday that he wasn't going to allow his wife to watch the game because the game was going to feature the "Black National Anthem" before kickoff. The song, actually called "Lift Every Voice and Sing", has been performed for the past few years at the game, but Gaetz is so angered by the thought of Black people feeling empowered and inspired that he won't allow his wife to enjoy the game.Also, Donald Trump has gone completely off the deep end at this point, and he is now trying to take credit for Taylor Swift becoming one of the biggest artists of all time. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump attacked Swift by claiming that a bill he signed is what made her "so much money," and he then said that she would be being "disloyal" to him if she endorsed President Biden. Trump has had in it for Swift since 2018 when she endorsed candidates running against his friends, but he's completely delusional if he thinks he had anything to do with her success.And thanks to the Special Prosecutor's report, President Biden's mental fitness has been called into question over the past few days. And while there are reasons to be concerned about Biden, they don't stack up against the mental problems that Donald Trump is facing. The Morning Joe crew on MSNBC put together a shocking supercut of all of Trump's gaffes and incoherent ramblings from the past weekend, and there were plenty from just a handful of appearances. Farron Cousins explains why Trump's mental health is a greater concern than Biden's. Finally, a group of Donald Trump's allies are about to hold a two-day retreat where they will teach Trump loyalists how to blindly follow Trump's orders if they are to receive a Cabinet post (assuming he wins the election this year.) This is an absolutely terrifying development that deserves far more attention. These people are being groomed to serve as spineless "Yes Men" at Trump's disposal, and will remake the government in any form that he instructs them to do.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalanced/Twitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en
The defamation trial against Donald Trump was delayed earlier this week after one juror fell ill and Alina Habba reported having a fever after being exposed to Covid. However, this alleged illness didn't stop Habba from partying with the Trump campaign in New Hampshire on Tuesday evening - just 24 hours after she was allegedly too ill to perform in court. Habba's actions are certainly going to come up in court, and could be used to convince a jury that she isn't trustworthy, as Farron Cousins explains. Also, Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee, is now calling on Nikki Haley to drop out of the presidential race so that the Party can unite behind Donald Trump. Trump won New Hampshire on Tuesday, but Haley beat expectations and closed a 14-point gap down to about 10 points. McDaniel is a poor leader and has been since she took the job, and her idea of uniting behind Trump would be a disaster for the Republican Party.And the House Ethics Committee has contacted more witnesses for testimony and evidence against Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, and Gaetz isn't taking this new development lightly. Gaetz lashed out at the Committee and tried to deflect from his own problems by bringing up the fact that there are members of Congress who are clearly engaging in insider trading. While insider trading is obviously bad, it isn't nearly as bad as what Gaetz has been accused of doing.Finally, Marjorie Taylor Greene is apparently a little over-excited about the New Hampshire primary results, and she proudly proclaimed that Trump is now THE GUY for the GOP this year. But she didn't just celebrate Trump's mediocre victory, she also issued a threat to the entire Republican Party. Greene says that any Republican that doesn't support Trump will be "eradicated" from the Party, whatever that means.

Donald Trump's lawyers tried to get an expedited hearing so that they could fight the reinstated gag order at the New York state Supreme Court, but the lawyers made several blunders that prevented this from happening. To start with, the judge let them know that they actually waited too long to file the motion since the appellate court ruled on it three days ago (5 if you count the weekend.) They made several other procedural errors that hurt them, and their incompetence is taking a toll on their client.Also, former Trump ally turned critic Liz Cheney offered up a bleak and terrifying scenario for what happens if Trump gets back into the White House after next year's election. According to Cheney, Trump will NOT leave office after the end of his second term, echoing a sentiment that we've been expressing for over a year. Trump's allies are setting up a government system that will protect him if he tries to make himself the dictator of the US, and Farron Cousins explains what's at stake in next year's election. And Rudy Giuliani is trying to weasel out of a defamation lawsuit against him in the dumbest way possible. Giuliani was sued by two Georgia election workers, and the judge already issued a pre-trial judgment against Giuliani finding him liable and ordering him to pay the legal fees of the women. Knowing this, Giuliani filed a motion requesting that the jury trial be scrapped, but the judge shot that down as "nonsense" because she knew EXACTLY what Giuliani was trying to do.Finally, Donald Trump has come up with a brand new excuse for his constant mental blunders, and this one is quite a doozy. After The Lincoln Project put out a new ad titled "Feeble" that showed various clips of Trump making mistakes during his speeches, the former President lashed out at the group and claimed that the clips were created using artificial intelligence. This is how Trump will now react to any video showing him doing or saying something stupid.
The most common question we get from our viewers is "how are the pets?" Farron has lots of pets, and several of them have been seen on the channel throughout the years, and viewers want to know what's going on with them. Farron Cousins is more than happy to give updates and show off the two newest additions to the family. Also, the corporate media has been the biggest recipient of ad dollars and viewers due to the insanity of Donald Trump over the last 8 years. But online media has also benefited from his existence, and the Right has even mockingly asked liberals what they'll talk about when Trump is gone. Luckily there is never a shortage of Republican stupidity, and Farron explains why Trump's absence won't slow down progressive media (when it finally happens.)And finally, Republican policies are regressive, no doubt about it. But the Republican Party of today appears to be competing with itself to see which politician can enact the most disturbing and oppressive legislation you could ever imagine. These attacks on women, immigrants, all people of color, and especially the LGBTQ community are causing people to flee red states to avoid this oppression.
The chances of Donald Trump going to prison might be slim - even with the 91 felony charges against him - but he can rest easy knowing that he'll always have the Secret Service there to protect him if he gets locked up. Thanks to the way the law is written, Trump is guaranteed protection from the government for the rest of his life, no matter what.Also, Donald Trump has such a huge lead that the Republican primary is effectively over already, and the remaining candidates are just fighting over his scraps. But what if something happens and Trump isn't in the race anymore? Are there any candidates that can capitalize on such an opening?And Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' failing presidential campaign has been given every possible helping hand by the conservative machine, and he's still failed to deliver for them. Even in the Fox News debates, the hosts have gone exceptionally easy on him, and he still continues to fall flat with audiences. Is he just really bad at this whole campaign thing?Finally, with all of the chaos taking place in Washington, D.C. - and all around the country, honestly - coming from the hands of Republican politicians, it is hard to take a break in the media business. One of our YouTube Community members asks Farron Cousins what he does to decompress from all of the stress coming from the political world, and as he explain

This week on Ring of Fire! Its Q&A week on the Ring of Fire Podcast, and Farron Cousins will be answering the biggest questions from our YouTube Community members. Can Trump be banned from office over January 6th? Can we finally abolish the electoral college? Will the country's political divisions ever be healed? Will Farron run for President one day? All those questions, and many more, will be answered on this week's Ring of Fire!
This week on Ring of Fire! Jeff Waldorf, host of Around The Nation on YouTube, will join Farron Cousins to run through the biggest stories of the past week. Donald Trump watched as his Trump Organization was found guilty on all counts of fraud in trial this week, but that doesn't mean that the company is going to have to face any "real" penalties. Herschel Walker became the latest MAGA Republican to go down in flames in the Georgia special election, even as the Republican Party pulled out all the stops to save him. Republicans are planning a nonstop blitz of investigations starting in January, but that could cost them down the road. And "The Twitter Files" were released to very little acclaim last week, and we'll explain what's in the documents and what they do, and most importantly do NOT, tell us about Twitter. All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire!
A deep dive on Florida politics and Trump vs. DeSantis with commentator Farron Cousins.
FULL SHOW HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuJbB18O-Wc&ab_channel=TheMajorityReportw%2FSamSeder It's Day 2 of Sam reporting from the Mass Torts Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada! He and Emma begin by running through updates on the 2022 midterm debate season, footage from Pelosi and Schumer on January 6th, before Sam meets with Ring of Fire Radio host Farron Cousins as they walk through the ten big senate races to watch in the 2022 midterms, watching Ron Johnson respond to his opponent's genuine compliment with outright vitriol, discussing the Florida DNC's tactic of running the same losing candidates year after year, and contextualizing the failing Trump legal battles. Then, Sam is joined by tort lawyer and early Air-America investor Mike Papantonio as they discuss the role of tort law in holding corporations accountable in both the legal and public realms at a point in American politics where everything from Congress and the Courts to the Media is driven by the profit incentive, walking through his biggest cases in tort law, and the constant presence of internal corporate documents from actuaries walking through the necessary profits to offset the legal costs of future injuries and harm they KNOW their product will cause. They also touch on the cases on HSBC's money laundering for terrorists and cartels (resulting in solely corporate fines), the Camp Lejeune water contamination, and more, walking through the myriad levels of awareness from inside the corporation to the highest levels of the executive branch. Next, lawyer Michael Watts joins to dive into his work studying potential causes in the exponential increase in autism diagnosis over the last few decades, including the clear lack of evidence around the impact of certain vaccine ingredients, and the growing evidence of a correlation between the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis later in life. Sarah Papantonio then joins as she explores her recent case taking on the impact of baby formula companies causing premature babies to develop necrotizing enterocolitis by misadvertising their products as human milk, rather than the cow's milk base it actually used. They also tackle the greater exploitative history of the baby formula industry, before parsing through the difference between multi-district legislation (mass tort suits) and class action, and exploring how federal governments can get involved in tort cases. Sam and Emma wrap up the show by diving deeper into various midterm debates including Ron Johnson being pushed around by Mandela Barnes (yet still looking worse) and Tudor Dixon's transphobic closing remarks, also looking at Charlie Kirk's response to Alex Jones' Sandy Hook case, and Ben Shapiro dancing around the intense antisemitism of his conservative colleagues.

This week on Ring of Fire! Elon Musk says that, if his purchase of Twitter actually happens, he'll be welcoming Donald Trump back on the platform because his permaban was "stupid." This is probably the worst thing that could happen for conservatives, and Farron Cousins explains why. Republicans have made it clear that overturning Roe v Wade is only the beginning, and they are actively coming to take away more of your rights at the state level. Salon.com's Heather "Digby" Parton will tell us what's happening. And on the member show, the corporate media has helped Republicans push all sorts of lies about reproductive choice over the years, and they need to be held accountable for giving anti-choice Republicans a platform to spread their hate and lies. Media Matters' Sharon Kann will join us for that discussion. Get the full show at www.rofpodcast.com
Happy Holidays! This week we take a short look back at Farron Cousin's “best interviews” of 2021, on the show… Donald Trump keeps hinting at a third run for the White House, and it already looks like he would be a lock for the nomination if he were to enter the race. Salon.com contributor Chauncey DeVega will be here to explain what could happen if Trump gets back into the White House, and why it would be incredibly dangerous for the country. Also on the show, the guys from Meidas Touch will talk about their efforts to counter Republican talking points
Following the big news from last week about certain members of Congress allegedly helping to organize the January 6th Stop The Steal rally, little has happened. In fact, the public seems to have already forgotten that there might be treasonous Republicans holding office today. It is now up to Congress to get to the bottom of what happened, and John Nichols from The Nation joins Farron Cousins to talk about what that might look like. Nichols also provides some insight into this week's elections, and tells us what those results could mean for Democrats in next year's midterms.

Terry Heaton was a television news executive for The Christian Broadcasting Network during the 1980s where he worked primarily on "The 700 Club". Heaton also served as one of Pat Robertson's advisers during his 1988 presidential campaign. Terry Heaton is the author of several books including his most recent, "The Gospel of Self: How Jesus Joined the GOP". Heaton explains how right-wing Christian Evangelicals have come to worship and love Donald Trump, a man who is an unapologetic sinner. Heaton also offers insights on how there is a direct connection between the Christian Broadcasting Network and Christian Nationalists such as Pat Robertson (who ran for president in 1988) and Fox News and Donald Trump's rise to power and their taking over the Republican Party and its voters. Heaton also warns about the power and influence of Pat Robertson and his “shadow government” of right-wing Christian Evangelicals and their decades-long campaign to overthrow secular democracy in America. Chauncey DeVega reflects on this especially bizarre and unusual last week in TrumpWorld where the Great Leader proclaimed himself the Second Coming of God and King of Israel -- and also tried to buy Greenland. Chauncey offers a warning: believe Donald Trump the transparent authoritarian and American fascist as he means what he says. And Chauncey also explains how Donald Trump continues to use scripted violence and stochastic terrorism as tool to inspire violence by his supporters – this time through his anti-Semitic tweets and claims that “real Jewish people” support the Republican Party and Trump's regime. At the end of this week's show Chauncey shares a special “Easter egg” which is his conversation with Farron Cousins and Ring of Fire Radio and The Majority Report with Sam Seder about Trump's madness, right-wing terrorism, and how Trump will likely win reelection in 2020.
