Larry Kudlow, a former Trump economic advisor that now serves on the board of a pro-Trump Super PAC, told his Fox audience this week that they will just have to learn to deal with the suffering that comes along with Trump's policies. This came before Trump backtracked on his tariffs against Mexico, but that wouldn't have changed Kudlow's order to Americans. They want you to suffer because they don't care about your well-being and they aren't going to pretend that they do, either.MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was held in contempt of court by a judge this week for failing to turn over court ordered documentation of the traffic that he received to his website for the years 2022 and 2023. This is part of the lawsuit filed against Lindell by software company Smartmatic, and the material that they had been seeking would be used to prove that Lindell profited significantly off of his lies about the company. Plenty of Trump's supporters were happy about his decision to once again temporarily delay tariffs on most of the goods coming from Mexico, but there were loads of MAGA fanatics that viewed it as a sign of weakness. Trump was trashed on his own social media platform by the very people who love him the most as they accused him of being a flip-flopper, a coward, and even a backstabber.

Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Donald Trump traveled to Detroit, Michigan this week to deliver a speech about something - it is hard to say what the speech was supposed to be about because he went off on so many weird and incoherent tangents. But the convicted felon barely seemed alive during the low energy speech, and he repeatedly slurred and stuttered his way through the entire thing looking like he'd rather be anywhere else other than where he was. Also, Donald Trump returned to Twitter (now called X) over the weekend with a flurry of posts. The convicted felon understands that Twitter is his best option to reach as many people as possible, but the decision to return comes with a price - he has to essentially sacrifice Truth Social and potentially billions of dollars. The stock for Truth Social began to tank when Trump returned to Twitter, and it was already in a bad position prior to his Twitter spree. And during a segment with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell recently, Rudy Giuliani claimed that Steve Bannon is somehow being "tortured" in prison because he isn't allowed to watch TV, according to Giuliani's alleged "sources." Republicans love to talk a big game when it comes to being the "tough on crime" Party, but they are the ones constantly standing up for convicted felons and wanting them to be coddled. Finally, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade completely lost his mind and accused the Harris campaign of "theft" this week after he said that the Democrats were stealing the theme of "patriotism" from Republicans. For decades Republicans have acted like they are the only Party that cares about the country, but now they are being out-gamed by the Democrats who are attempting to retake that messaging and apply it to themselves - and it is working!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

Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell tried to go "incognito" at the DNC this week by shaving his mustache and dressing like Roger Stone, but he didn't fool anyone. On top of his pathetic disguise, he was also spouting the same lies that he's always told, and at one point he was even put in his place by a 12-year old reporter/activist called Knowa. Lindell proved how pathetic he really is at this event.Also, during a speech in North Carolina this week, Donald Trump told the crowd that he's having trouble sticking to policy because people are being so mean to him. He then polled the crowd on whether or not he should stick to personal attacks, and they overwhelmingly agreed that he should. This is NOT what his advisors wanted to happen, as it gives Trump everything he needs to continue being a terrible candidate. And Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance made the ultimate blunder during an appearance on Jake Tapper's show on CNN this week. During the interview, Vance was supposed to be attacking Tim Walz, but instead he ended up attacking Donald Trump - and he didn't even seem to realize it! It happened when Vance said that it is ridiculous that a politician in 2024 is whining about what happened to them in the past instead of using their position to help people.Finally, Donald Trump isn't just losing support among moderates and independents - he is currently hemorrhaging support from high profile Republicans. The DNC this week featured multiple Republican faithfuls who are supporting Kamala Harris, and the online world is facing the same problem, as many Trump loyalists are starting to sour on his failing campaign. This is the worst thing that could happen for Trump, and even an endorsement by RFK Jr. likely can't save this sinking ship.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

Donald Trump found out the hard way this week that there are some areas where his cult followers won't fall in line. Trump put out a post on social media offering condolences to a Michigan police officer that was killed in the line of duty. But because the officer's name was "Mohamed", Trump's followers turned against him in the most racist and vile way possible, with some even saying that he's lost their vote.Also, everyone has been wondering who paid for Rudy Giuliani's first class plane tickets to attend last week's RNC, but MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell finally ended the conversation this week by admitting that he paid the bill. But that wasn't the shocking part. Lindell also admitted that Giuliani has been an employee with his media company since the beginning of the month, which means that the creditors from Giuliani's bankruptcy case were CORRECT when they made accusations that he wasn't being honest about his finances and employment.And Donald Trump is reportedly having buyer's remorse over his pick of J.D. Vance as his running mate, and it isn't hard to see why. According to the latest polling data, Vance is the first Vice Presidential nominee for ANY party to have a net negative approval rating after being announced as a running mate since 1980 (before Vance was even born.) On top of that, he can't seem to stop himself from saying stupid things and from having his past comments come back to haunt him. Trump really stepped in it this time.Finally, things are going from bad to worse for Donald Trump, as the newest polling after Biden dropped out of the race shows him LOSING to Kamala Harris by two points. That gap grows even bigger when Kennedy is in the race, increasing Harris's lead to 4 points. The enthusiasm on the Left has increased tremendously - along with fundraising - and Trump doesn't know what to do with himself now that he doesn't have a pushover on the other side of the political aisle.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is looking for a new job, and he's hoping that his buddy Donald Trump can help him out with that. During a recent segment, Lindell said that he wants to be Trump's chief of elections if the convicted felon makes it back to The White House. Lindell's election claims have been repeatedly debunked more times than we can count, and the thought of him using his conspiracy theories to run elections is horrifying.Also, a Trump-appointed judge issued a ruling this week saying that protesters at next week's Republican Convention are free to protest the event - provided they do so where they aren't visible. The judge said that protesters cannot pass a "hard security line" that is being set up around the event, telling protesters that they actually do NOT have the right to protest whenever and however they please. The Constitution would beg to differ.And during an interview on Fox News this week, Alina Habba made the bizarre claim that her newfound "fame" is somehow proof that Donald Trump is innocent and that the prosecutions against him were politically motivated. Not only does that not make any sense as a statement, it also ignores the fact that her "fame" came from the fact that she was his attorney and the media put the spotlight on her. Plenty of lawyers have been "flash in the pan" media personalities over the years, and Habba is just the latest in a long line of people that everyone will forget.Finally, Donald Trump flipped out this week after Fox News talked about new polling data that shows him only one point ahead of President Biden, but LOSING to Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump doesn't like anyone telling him things that are real, so he railed against Fox News and one of their hosts on Truth Social before promising to release the "real" polling numbers soon.

Following the Supreme Court's immunity ruling on Monday, Alina Habba ran to Fox News to declare victory for her client, Donald Trump. But then she made an admission that throws her entire boast into question: She admitted that she hadn't actually read the ruling while she was bragging about it. If she had read it, she would know that it doesn't say what she claims it says, and that it actually doesn't exonerate Trump at all. Also, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been dragged into Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy case after he was hit with a subpoena recently. The subpoena is seeking information from Lindell about his streaming deal with Giuliani, as Lindell's platform Frank Speech streams Giuliani's program, and the deal could pay as much as $180,000. But the court thinks there could be something fishy happening, which is why Lindell is now being dragged into this. And former Republican lawmaker and current Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes lost his years-long lawsuit against The Washington Post this week when a Trump-appointed judge ruled that Nunes can't prove any of the charges he makes in the lawsuit. Nunes had sued the publication for defamation years ago when they reported - and then corrected - that he was the source that told Donald Trump that Trump Tower had been wiretapped. Nunes just can't seem to win, no matter where he is or what he does.Finally, following the Supreme Court's immunity ruling this week, Donald Trump got on Truth Social and "re-truthed" a post from another user calling for military tribunals against Trump's political enemies (and the post featured an image of Liz Cheney.) The MAGA movement feels emboldened by this week's Court decision, and they want Trump to take immediate action if he gets back into office. But that's not how things work, as Farron explains.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
Democrats in Congress, the media, and all over the country are still reeling from the horrific debate performance given by President Biden Thursday evening. Headlines on Friday were filled with questions about his future and whether the Party could even replace him on the ballot at this point. Donald Trump lied his way through the debate, but Biden's glassy-eyed, open jawed stares are what voters will likely remember the most. Also, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell had a meltdown this week when his latest attempt to punish those who don't believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump failed. Lindell had been pushing for a recall of Wisconsin's Republican assembly speaker Robin Vos, but the effort went down in flames. So Lindell ran crying to Steve Bannon, claiming that this was somehow "illegal" and he promised that he's not done trying to punish the man who wouldn't throw out the state's results.And a skeptical Judge Aileen Cannon recently told special prosecutor Jack Smith that he would have to prove that Donald Trump's statements directly led to threats against witnesses in the past, and Smith delivered that and more. In a massive filing this week, Smith turned over all sorts of information, including social media posts from Trump, that perfectly laid out how vile he is and how his comments lead to threats against anyone that opposes him. Finally, during Thursday night's debate, Donald Trump claimed that he never "had sex with a porn star," directly contradicting Stormy Daniels' account of the affair that the two engaged in many years ago. This is similar to his denial in the E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit, which could mean that Daniels may have enough fodder to go after Trump in court for lying about their relationship. Several other witnesses have confirmed Daniels' account, which means there's no shortage of evidence that Trump is lying about her claims.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
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has now lost all of the lawyers that were representing him in his "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge, where a court ordered him to pay $5 million to a man who accepted his challenge and proved that his data from the 2020 election doesn't show any malfeasance. Lindell is struggling to maintain legal representation as he faces serious defamation lawsuits that threaten his entire pillow empire. Also, Fox News host Gillian Turner was left nearly speechless this week when she saw the results of a new Fox poll showing that President Biden has gotten a significant boost with Independent voters and is now beating Trump with that group. She couldn't fathom why this would be happening, and both her and her guest said that they can't make any sense of it. This is what happens when you live in that Fox News bubble.And disgraced former Republican Congressman George Santos has come up with a new way to get the attention that he so desperately craves by announcing that he was joining the adult content website OnlyFans. Santos insists that his page will not have "adult content," which begs the question as to why he chose that platform instead of any other pay-for-content sites. The answer is because he needs attention to survive.Finally, Donald Trump may have set a new record for the number of lies that he has told in a single speech. During a rally in Racine, Wisconsin this week, CNN fact checker Daniel Dale was able to identify at least 30 lies in the 90-minute speech, giving Trump a one lie every 3 minutes record. The problem isn't just THAT he lies, it is that he lies about everything, including things that don't even matter to anyone but him. But this is his coping mechanism to protect his fragile ego.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 managed to steal the headlines during another holiday with his deranged Truth Social post on Father's Day. Trump called out the "degenerate Left" that is, according to him, turning America into a "Third world country," which is similar to his Memorial Day and Easter posts. This man is filled with nothing but hate and rage, and his posts are proof of that. It is also telling that he didn't mention his own children who made him a father.Also, during his speech at this past weekend's Turning Point Conference, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell unveiled what he said was "God's plan" to "deputize" Trump supporters on election day. His plan might be the most insane and incomprehensible thing that this man has ever said, as it makes no sense whatsoever. But this is the guy that Republicans apparently look up to these days.And Donald Trump paid a visit to Republicans on Capitol Hill last week, and during their meeting he reportedly took a swipe at Marjorie Taylor Greene for trying to oust Republican Speaker Mike Johnson. Once the media got wind of the story, Greene flipped out on social media, claiming that the whole thing was fake news and that the media refused to talk about the good things that Trump said about her. Greene can't stand the fact that she isn't Trump's favorite person.Finally, during a recent speech in Detroit, Donald Trump not only bragged about the cognitive test that he allegedly "aced," but also challenged President Biden to take one, as well. The only problem is that Trump then repeatedly flubbed the name of the doctor that performed the test. He continuously referred to Dr. Ronny Jackson as Dr. Ronny JOHNSON during the speech, which is incredibly ironic considering that he's bragging about his memory.

Donald Trump and his allies threw a major fit at the start of the criminal trial when they claimed that the judge wouldn't let Trump skip court for Barron's high school graduation. That was a lie, and the judge said they'll deal with that when they get there, and he's now allowed Trump to attend the graduation. But, as usual, this was all a ruse, and Trump is actually planning on holding a rally halfway across the country that day.Also, we won't be getting a resolution to Donald Trump's document trial any time in the near future, as Judge Aileen Cannon issued a ruling this week that delays the trail indefinitely. While this has left a lot of people angry, maybe we need to be looking at the bright side? After all, two other Trump trials were being delayed due to the fact that the documents trial was hogging the schedule, so this opens the door for two more Trump trials before the election.And Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy proceedings continue to go poorly for the former mayor of New York City, as his accountant recently said that they have had a "change of heart" and will no longer be working for him. This comes as Giuliani's creditors are ready to cast their lots for his assets, and losing the people in charge of his money is a good sign that there may not be enough to even begin to go around - and it could also mean that the court will have to take over as his new financial counsel. Finally, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said during his podcast this week that Donald Trump boasted about being ready to be thrown in jail. Lindell actually said that Trump is "itching to go to jail," because he believes it will make him a martyr. He's partially correct - his base will be up in arms if he gets thrown in jail. But those are people who already support him. The former President is going to find that most average Americans don't like the idea of a jailbird sitting in the Oval Office.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
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was a guest at one of the rallies that Donald Trump held on Wednesday, and his performance wasn't exactly filled with truth. Lindell told the crowd that all the Democrats he's spoken to said that they are voting for Trump in this year's election. This isn't just a lie - it is a dangerous statement that gives people like Lindell and Trump cover to claim the election was stolen if they lose in November. Also, Donald Trump held two midwest rallies on Wednesday of this week, and it did not go well for him. He's clearly a little rusty from being stuck in a courtroom all day, because when the teleprompter broke down during his Michigan speech, he began ranting incoherently about the word "folks". Throughout the speech he was slurring his words and appeared confused at times, a sign that his mental health has sharply declined since his trial began.And Marjorie Taylor Greene is moving forward with her effort to remove Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, even though she admitted to Steve Bannon this week that no one in Congress likes the drama that she is creating. So she's self-aware enough to know that she's not liked, but she's too stubborn to change her course. And her Republican colleagues are not being shy about how unhappy they are with her antics as they continue to trash her in the media.Finally, Donald Trump's legal team seems fairly convinced that their client is going to eventually be put behind bars by Judge Juan Merchan, so new reports say that the team is working on a "jailbreak" strategy to prevent that from happening. The strategy mostly involves filing emergency appeals with the higher courts, but that strategy is essentially the only legal option that they have at that point, so it isn't very good.
So-called “Constitutional Sheriffs” fancy themselves as the real life version of Judge Dredd: the ultimate arbiters of the law according to their interpretation of the Constitution. Recently the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) held a conference in Las Vegas. Among the speakers were regular features of the podcast disgraced former General Michael Flynn, convicted former County Clerk Tina Peters, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. Our guest WIRED reporter David Gilbert attended the conference, and he told us all about what he saw at this gathering of conspiracists and pseudolaw enthusiasts.

Donald Trump launched an insane attack on the judge overseeing his upcoming hush money trial, and he was immediately rewarded with a new, very restrictive gag order as a result. Trump got on Truth Social to attack the judge who he claims "hates" him, and then he took it a step further by attacking the judge's daughter who has nothing to do with the case. This was an insane post by Trump and the judge was right to immediately gag him.Also, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is having the worst week ever. A judge this week has given the green light to a warehouse to evict Lindell and his company after they failed to pay $200,000 in rent for several months. At the same time, Lindell was dumped by two of his lawyers as he continues to fight the $5 million payment that a court ordered him to pay to a man who disproved his election claims. And those aren't even the weirdest stories about Lindell from this week.And Donald Trump announced this week that he was selling an altered version of the King James Bible that includes the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Pledge of Allegiance, and, for some reason, the lyrics to God Bless the USA. The unholy former President is selling these for $60 a piece, no doubt to help pay for his exorbitant legal fees that run afoul of every lesson that's actually in the Bible that he's selling. Finally, a very confused Alina Habba appeared on Fox News this week to celebrate the fact that Donald Trump's bond was reduced by an appeals court. Habba took a few swipes at New York AG Letitia James, saying that James is eating a big piece of humble pie right now, and then she seemed even more confused about whether or not Trump "won" the case. Habba couldn't get her facts straight as she said "we won...no, we didn't win" and it was just further proof that she has no idea what's actually happening.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
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell spent all of last week hyping up another round of "evidence" that he was submitting to the US Supreme Court, but this week he's singing a much different tune. Lindell proclaimed last week that it was all over and he had won, but now he's begging the public for help after he realized that the Supreme Court isn't going to look at his case - and after this new "evidence" was trashed by the experts.Also, Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is convinced that the world is conspiring against her, and she whined during a recent radio interview that she "can't even go to the theater" without it being broadcast to the world. There's a very good reason why her theater shenanigans were broadcast to the whole world, and that incident alone is cited as the number one reason why her former supporters have turned on her.And according to a new poll released this week, a huge majority of Americans do NOT believe that Donald Trump should be given immunity from his criminal prosecutions, and that even includes a plurality of Republicans. To put that information another way - a majority of Americans believe that Donald Trump should be prosecuted and that the legal system should determine what happens from there. This doesn't mean they all think he's guilty, this only means they want to allow the justice system to do its job.Finally, a former employee of Donald Trump's Bedminster golf resort has agreed to a settlement after claiming that a former supervisor had harassed her. But in the settlement agreement, lawyers for both sides made is clear that Alina Habba was NOT a party to the settlement and could still be sued in the future. This is because the employee alleges that Habba tricked her into the settlement to begin with by posing as a friend and giving her bad legal advice so that Habba could endear herself to Donald Trump.
Republican Representative Ken Buck announced that he wasn't going to wait until the end of the year to leave office, and he'll be ending his career next week. But in making his announcement, Buck also torched his own Party as being completely dysfunctional. And that dysfunction is likely going to get worse as the GOP loses yet another seat in an already close House - and this could have a serious negative impact on Lauren Boebert's career. Also, according to new reports, Donald Trump's legal team is terrified that the former president is going to talk himself into a mess during the upcoming criminal trial in Manhattan, and they really want him to just sit down and keep quiet. But that's not what Trump does, and he has repeatedly, in past trials, taken the stand and managed to not help his case one bit during any of those instances.And over the weekend, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell promised that he would be hand-delivering a new set of election fraud "evidence" to the Supreme Court at 3pm on Friday, but he abruptly cancelled his stunt a few days later, claiming that his lawyers told him it was "too dangerous." Instead, his lawyers are just going to deliver the evidence to the Court, and that'll be the last that we hear of this particular scheme from the pillow man. Finally, new RNC co-chair Lara Trump may have accidentally destroyed her father-in-law Donald Trump's claims of immunity during an interview this week. Lara went on Fox News to whine about the Biden administration spending money on get out the vote efforts, and said that if Trump ever tried to use tax dollars to sway the outcome of an election Democrats would lose their minds. Legal experts were quick to point out that this means that Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results were those of a campaigning candidate, NOT of a sitting president, and that could seriously hurt his immunity claims.
Donald Trump isn't content with just one victory at the Supreme Court, and he spent an afternoon ranting on Truth Social about how SCOTUS has no choice but to give him immunity from criminal prosecution. In his posts, Trump once again suggested that he (or any president) could be open to blackmail if they don't have immunity, which is basically an admission that he'll commit more crimes if he gets into office.Also, during a recent interview, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell admitted that his lawyers have warned him that he could go to jail for posting stolen election information on his website, but he swears he doesn't care if that happens. There are two possibilities here - either Lindell is trying to talk a big game about something that isn't actually illegal or didn't happen OR authorities haven't been paying attention and could nab him now that he's bragging about it.And activists and allies of Donald Trump are doing everything they can to rig the 2024 election in his favor, and one of their plans is to file thousands of challenges to names on voter rolls in swing states. If a name matches that of someone who is ineligible to vote, most states allow for a challenge to be filed that immediately invalidates that person unless THEY can prove they are allowed to vote - and most aren't even told that they have had their eligibility challenged. Finally, a new report has revealed that plenty of Donald Trump's White House staffers and advisers were on all sorts of prescription drugs during their time in the administration, and some even reported taking dangerous combinations of drugs and alcohol just to deal with how much they hated their jobs. This information follows an Inspector General's report from January that revealed an insane amount of prescription drug use during Trump's time in office.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

Allen Weisselberg, the CFO of the Trump Organization, is in hot water after Judge Arthur Engoron said this week that he has reason to believe that Weisselberg lied under oath in his courtroom during Trump's fraud trial. If Engoron sticks with that conclusion, he says he will toss Weisselberg's entire testimony, which would mean an even harsher penalty for Trump, as the CFO had downplayed everyone's knowledge of what happened at the company.Also, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is leaving her position as the head of the Republican Party after nonstop failures and nearly bankrupting the Republican Party. McDaniel has been a disaster since day 1 as the leader of the GOP, and now she's leaving a mess that the next Chair likely won't be able to overcome (due to the fact that the top candidate is an election denier who is in Trump's pocket.)And Marjorie Taylor Greene stomped out of a hearing in Congress this week after a Democratic lawmaker pointed out that she was overly friendly with the Capitol Rioters. The hearing was about crime in Washington, D.C., and Democratic Representative Robert Garcia made a point to say that Greene talks a big game about crime, but then she turned around and high-fived and hugged the Capitol Rioters when she visited them in jail. Finally, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell held a truly bizarre - and clearly low budget - press conference to announce that he's now selling even more useless products to the masses like paintings and socks. Lindell appeared to be a little frantic and shaky during the announcement, and the people standing around him looked confused and bored. But Lindell is desperate to get some money flowing in as he struggles to pay his bills.

At a recent Turning Point event, an ally of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell took the stage to thank him for his work. But during her speech, she admitted that Lindell has "lost everything" and then she burst into tears thinking about all that he has done for the conservative movement. The truth is that Lindell has accomplished absolutely nothing for himself or for conservatives, and he's lost everything because he's a complete whack job.Also, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who has been described as the "Trump Whisperer" for her ability to get him to open up, the former president is enraged about the E. Jean Carroll verdict because it could financially ruin him. Haberman admitted that we don't know how much money Trump has on hand, but it is clear that he'll have to either go ahead and pay the whole amount, or put down a sizable portion of the verdict in order to appeal it.And Donald Trump, Jr. gave a speech at this week's Turning Point event, and his performance left the audience confused and possibly even a little scared. Junior seemed to be out of his mind as he rambled a thousand words a minute about things that no one could understand. Junior denies being on drugs, but his performance definitely left a lot of people thinking that he was on something.Finally, a new study appropriately titled "Lying For Trump" has revealed that Trump supporters will basically lie about anything, even when they know that the evidence will prove that they lied. Specifically, the study asked Trump supporters in Florida if they supported or had ever voted by mail. Far too many participants lied about voting by mail in the past in order to have their "actions" line up to what Trump tells them to do, even though voting records show that they had all voted by mail.

Three members of Donald Trump's massive legal team called it quits this week, notifying the courts that they would no longer be representing the former President in his legal fights. The main lawyer, Joe Tacopina, was seen as the most competent lawyer that Trump had hired, but he has now left and taken two of his associates with him. Trump is left with Alina Habba and a gaggle of bargain bin lawyers.Also, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell had a bit of a meltdown the other day while complaining about Fox News no longer running ads for his products. Lindell said that he is going to be contacting the CEO of the network to find out what's happening, but the network already told him what the problem is: He owes them nearly $8 million for ads that they've already run and they will gladly run more ads once he actually pays them. But Lindell maintains that there's something more sinister happening.And a new report from The New York Times has revealed just how broken the brains of Trump supporters really are. The paper was trying to find out how the former maintains such a high level of support in the face of so many legal problems, and the answer from his supporters was quite simple: They believe it is all made up. They genuinely believe that the legal problems are just politics as usual, which means they could be in for a rude awakening if he gets convicted, and that could end badly.Donald Trump is now telling voters that he is going to be their "vengeance" if he gets back into the White House, directly contradicting what he told Fox News last week when he said that he'll be "too busy" for vengeance. He's dropped all the pretenses now, and he wants his supporters to know that he'll only be focusing on retribution and punishments if he gets a second term, and they seem to be perfectly fine with that.
Fox News Cancels Mike Lindell And MyPillow? Fox News has reportedly stopped airing MyPillow ads. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed that the network's decision to stop airing his ads was due to his outspoken political views and his recent decision to hire former Fox Business host Lou Dobbs for his own media channel. I provide 2 secades of advertising ans marketing insight into the story. Next on The Don't Unfriend Me Show.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is still reeling from the aftermath of her comments about the Civil War where she claimed everything but slavery was the cause. Now she's facing serious backlash from Republicans of color who say that her campaign is "toast" because of her glaring omission. This couldn't come at a worse time for Haley, as she was finally within striking distance of Donald Trump in early battleground states.Also, former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger has doubled down on his statements about Donald Trump smelling bad, and he said during an interview last week that the former President smells like a mix of "armpit, ketchup, butt, and makeup." Others have piled on to the "Trump smells" train, even going as far as producing ads saying that Trump's foul odor is a problem. Is this really where we are with presidential campaigns? And Donald Trump's former lawyer Kenneth Chesebro is cooperating with multiple different investigations in different states, and he's already revealed damning information about Trump's attempts to steal the 2020 election. But the real impact could be in Georgia where little is known about Chesebro's cooperation, other than the fact that his plea deal requires him to give up every detail that he has. This cooperation could land Trump in a Georgia state prison.Finally, in a recent email to his supporters, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said that he is very happy that Jimmy Kimmel continues to make fun of him. Kimmel recently (several weeks ago) aired a segment mocking Lindell, complete with a spot-on impersonator as part of a skit about MAGA Christmas, and Lindell has apparently not stopped thinking about that skit since it aired. Lindell swears that he loves the free attention that he's getting, but Farron explains why he probably shouldn't.
Lauren Boebert's campaign sent out a desperate plea to donors this week, begging them to send her money so that she can get reelected next year. But the interesting part is that she didn't say she wanted to win because she still had work to do - instead she told supporters that her seat could be the one that gives Democrats control. It is all about tribal politics and no longer about policy.Allies of Donald Trump aren't just hoping that he'll win The White House next year - they are planning on a full-scaled takeover of the entire federal government. Groups led by the Heritage Foundation have been screening thousands of applicants for a Trump second term, and reporters have now gotten their hands on the questionnaire that is being used to make sure they only get the most loyal of Trump sycophants to serve in the government.During a discussion on his social media platform this week, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell told Republican voters and donors that they should be giving their money to HIM instead of spending it on boosting Republican candidates for office. He swears he'll use the money to fight for election integrity, but in reality the man is facing so many financial problems that it is hard to think he'll use the money for anything other than a personal bailout.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has a new book out that is getting absolutely trashed by critics - and even some people on the Right. One of the people taking sharp jabs at her is talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, and Greene tried to use Kimmel's attacks to get herself an invitation to come on his show. She got on social media last week to offer herself up as a guest, claiming that Kimmel lies about her all the time so it is only fair. But Kimmel didn't take the bait.Also, last week, Donald Trump produced a new note from his doctor saying that he is in perfect health, and that he has somehow managed to lose weight since leaving office. But the real shock was that Trump's mental health is just as sharp as ever, according to what Trump said about the letter, even though the letter didn't go into detail about what, if any, cognitive tests were administered to the former president. The letter was also released on President Biden's 81st birthday, which gives us a good idea about what Trump was doing.And in a recent interview with Steve Bannon, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell wore, and then ceremoniously removed, an actual tin foil hat to celebrate a court ruling in Georgia. The only problem is that Lindell didn't understand the court ruling. The ruling was to allow a case to move forward about the security of voting machines, and Lindell took that to mean that he has been right all along - but the real issue is people like him and his allies causing insecurity to our systems. Finally, Trump lawyer Alina Habba is throwing cold water on the rumors that her client could be considering accepting a plea deal from prosecutors in the New York fraud case, and she said that she couldn't advise him to take what amounts to "extortion." But this is just bad legal advice because her client has already been found liable for the fraud, and that isn't going to change, no matter what happens at the trial (and the trial has been going very badly for Habba and Trump.)

According to a new report, Donald Trump allegedly told an Australian national about classified nuclear secrets at Mar-a-Lago months after he left The White House. This information was relayed to special prosecutor Jack Smith, and is likely to become a major prosecution point during the actual trial. And, if true, it could lead to much more serious consequences for Trump at trial than previously thought. Also, the Republican knives are out for Matt Gaetz with multiple lawmakers and Republican staffers repeating rumors about the Congressman in an attempt to inflict as much damage on him as he has inflicted on the Party. And these stories, if true, could add to the speculation that they all know something about the ongoing investigation into Gaetz that the public hasn't been made aware of yet.And finally, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell told Steve Bannon this week that his lawyers have dumped him because he has no money to pay them. He recently whined about the fact that American Express reduced his credit limit, and he's blaming that reduction - among other things - for not having enough money to pay his lawyers. He's now left with no representation as he faces hundreds of millions of dollars in defamation lawsuits.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell whined to Alex Jones this week that his company could be "collapsing" as banks are refusing to give him the kind of money that he needs to keep the business running. One of his latest gripes is that American Express reduced his credit limit from $1 million to just $100,000, and Lindell believes that Fox News is somehow to blame for all of this.Also, in a sign that Donald Trump's marriage is clearly on the rocks, Melania Trump recently renegotiated their prenuptial agreement to increase the money and property that she might get, as well as increasing the amount of money in a trust fund set up for Barron. This all happened as Trump's legal problems continued to get worse, and it is a sign that Melania knows things are going to get even worse as the months drag on. And finally, the Republican Party had one shot to convince the public that their impeachment inquiry into President Biden was more than just political theater this week, and they couldn't have failed any harder than they did. Their own witnesses were forced to admit - under oath - that there is no evidence to support impeachment, and the hearing on Thursday quickly devolved into a complete clown show for the world to see.

Supporters of Donald Trump aren't too scared about the thought of having their cult leader removed from 2024 ballots using the 14th Amendment because they have come up with a "brilliant" plan to circumvent that little issue. If Trump is banned from the ballot, they are planning on just writing him in as their presidential choice, because apparently they don't understand what the 14th Amendment actually says.Also, as part of a right wing telethon to raise money for the legal costs of the fake electors this week, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell began whining about the fact that he is going broke and has had to borrow millions of dollars. He went on to say that he's never held this much debt in his entire life. The pillow guru has been giving mixed signals about his wealth all year, but this claim does seem to be more honest than his previous statements.And finally, New York Attorney General Letitia James has had enough of Donald Trump's attempts to delay and dismiss her lawsuit against him, and she filed a motion this week asking the judge to sanction Trump, his kids, and his legal team for wasting everyone's time. James points out that Trump's lawyers keep filing the same motions using the same arguments that the court has already dismissed, and she wants them to pay a hefty price for it.
According to a new report, multiple staffers at the right wing media outlet One America News (OAN) recently walked out of the studio to avoid having to take part in a pro-Trump rap video with MAGA rapper Forgiato Blow. The staffers said that the host of the show featuring Blow that evening, Dan Ball, didn't alert them to the plans to actually film a video during the segment, and they now say that they want to leave the propaganda network for good. Also, Donald Trump has always had a very tenuous grip on reality, and now that he can feel the walls closing in with his upcoming trials, he is becoming even more unglued - and more dangerous. The former President has been ranting like a lunatic on Truth Social about everything he can, which includes the judges and prosecutors that are going after him, Democrats, and even some Republicans. He will continue to grow more agitated and scared as the trials approach, and that's when he becomes the most dangerous.And finally, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell told Steve Bannon this week that his bank has now cut off his line of credit because he was spending company money on overturning the 2020 election results. While everything the man says is suspect, if this is true it could spell doom for his struggling company that he has been neglecting in order to become the spokesperson for Crazy Town.
Donald Trump decided that it would be funny to joke about fleeing the country in order to avoid criminal prosecution, going as far as to say that maybe he'll just flee to Russia and live with Vladimir Putin. This comment may have been a joke (maybe it wasn't?) but it will definitely come back to haunt him when he has to face a judge later this week, as even joking about fleeing can be grounds to have one's bond revoked. Also, after learning that his plan to fly surveillance drones over polling stations across the country would likely violate multiple state laws, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell sent out a frantic video saying that he isn't actually going to do what he said he would do at his summit last week. Lindell insists that he was never going to use drones, even though he specifically said that just a few days ago. And finally, Donald Trump is not happy about the conditions for his bail in Georgia, but not because they are too strict - Trump is mad that he's finally being treated like a regular person by a court. Trump had to pay a bond, just like everyone else, and the conditions handed down are as tight as they come and could result in Trump getting sanctioned because it is almost a given that he will violate them.
Donald Trump's legal team has finally submitted their proposed trial date for the charges of fraud against the government (and the others that came from Jack Smith's 2nd indictment.) They would like the trial to begin in April...of the year 2026. They are pushing for a nearly three-year delay while prosecutors are hoping to be wrapping up the trial 5 months from now. There is a strategy here, but it isn't one that's going to work.Also, as his summit drew to a close this week, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell revealed his ultimate plan to save democracy. This is a plan that he began teasing out nearly two months ago after claiming that it was given to him by God. The plan is apparently to fly a little drone over polling sites, but it is what he called the drone that had the audience a little taken back.
Judge Aileen Cannon might have made an error so egregious in a ruling on Monday that the Department of Justice may have clear grounds to call for her recusal from the case. The judge decided to reveal the existence of a second grand jury that was still conducting investigations into the documents scandal, even though the DOJ had filed this information, along with other intelligence, under seal - but Cannon made it all public anyway.Also, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell doesn't appear to think before he speaks, and that could get his good friend Donald Trump into trouble. Lindell suggested this week that Donald Trump will end up getting more votes in the 2024 election than there are people, which could only be done by way of fraud. But that's what Lindell says will happen if Trump keeps getting indicted because Lindell swears that Trump's popularity is going through the roof. And finally, Donald Trump is reportedly angry at his newest lawyer, John Lauro, because Lauro isn't going along with Trump's plan to get judge Tanya Chutkan removed from his trial. Lauro has been going across the media world making Trump's problems worse by accidentally "admitting" to some crimes and offering a weak defense of others, but that doesn't seem to bother the former President. What bothers Trump is that Lauro will not make a preemptive motion to remove the judge - a move Lauro knows will fail. This showdown could lead to problems for Trump.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell appeared at a "Christian" group conference this past weekend, and when the subject of discussion turned to abortion, Lindell decided to take that opportunity to launch a new conspiracy theory. According to Lindell, Planned Parenthood isn't just performing abortions - they are now "killing parents!" That seems like the kind of thing people would have noticed, but Lindell said it was the truth. Also, Florida governor Ron DeSantis is having a hard time selling his state's new slavery lesson guidelines for teachers, and he's getting attacked by both the Left and Right over it. So he decided to hit back, and offered Vice President Kamala Harris the chance to come to Florida and debate him on it. Matt Gaetz decided to give his former pal a dose of reality, and called him out on social media for being "thirsty" for a visit from the Vice President. Ron just can't seem to win.And finally, Donald Trump's newest indictment is the most serious one that he has faced yet, but his team had already come up with a legal plan before the indictments were handed down. According to reports, Trump is planning to throw his former lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman under the bus HARD. Luckily, Jack Smith wrote the indictment in a way that already undermines that defense.
This week on Ring of Fire! Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign is going down in flames - and the state of Florida is going to Hell as he campaigns around the country. His failures back home are starting to become obvious to voters all over the country, and that's playing a huge role in the lack of support he's getting from voters. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says that his company has been the victim of "cancel culture" that has cost him $100 million, so he's having to auction off his company's equipment just to stay afloat. And we've got more Q&A's from our YouTube Community members! - Why aren't voting companies suing Donald Trump" - Who will be the future leaders of the Democratic Party? - Would a Republican president start a ground war in China? - And many more! All that's coming up on this week's Ring of Fire!
Howie welcomes resolute Trumper and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to the show as the third federal indictment of Donald Trump looms over the American people.

In this (almost entirely!) Trump-free episode, Liz and Andrew break down two major steps backwards for Meatball Ron DeSantis: an own goal in his ongoing losing Woke War Against Disney, and a major setback by a group looking to aid his (doomed) 2024 Presidential bid.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced his candidacy to chair the Republican National Committee a few months ago and lost the election process over a week or so ago. What's next for the juggernaut entrepreneur? Where is he moving his resources next? Mike joins the show for the very first time.
On this episode of Ring of Fire! President Biden's State of the Union address angered Republicans in Congress, and their extreme behavior didn't go unnoticed by the American public. We'll talk about both the responses that happened during the speech, as well as the disastrous rebuttal issued by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Cyber criminals have a new target: Republican campaigns. Multiple Republicans have been the victims of cyber crimes with thieves stealing money from their campaign accounts, so we'll examine why these targets are so enticing to criminals (and why they only seem to be targeting Republicans right now.) MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says that the RNC is putting him in charge of a unit to go after "election crimes," but what they're really doing is opening themselves up for a massive defamation lawsuit. And a former New York prosecutor says that the Manhattan DA's office was just about to file criminal charges against Donald Trump before Alvin Bragg took over - we'll bring you the details. All that, and more, on this episode of Ring of Fire!
The biggest moment yet in the 2024 election cycle happens later this week in Dana Point, Calif., where RNC members will choose their next leader — and incumbent Chair Ronna McDaniel faces an unexpected fight for a fourth two-year term. McDaniel is still the favorite, but the race has turned contentious: Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who backed Donald Trump's attempt to throw out the 2020 election results and represented him before the House's Jan. 6 panel, is challenging McDaniel, blaming her for the GOP's abysmal midterm performance. (MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is also running, but few RNC members take him seriously. Plus, Congress is back in session this week, with debt ceiling negotiations taking center stage. And, Jeff Zients will take over for Chief of Staff Ron Klain. Playbook editor Mike DeBonis and co-author Rachael Bade discuss what to watch in the day ahead.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was going through a Hardee's drive-thru after ordering a burger and chocolate shake when he was approached by the FBI. That's according to Daily Beast politics reporter Zachary Petrizzo, who has more details of the FBI's seizure of Lindell's phone while he was at a Hardee's restaurant last week. “I had heard from Mike that he ended up ordering a Swiss burger with a chocolate shake,” Petrizzo tells hosts Molly Jong-Fast and Andy Levy on this episode of political podcast The New Abnormal. Also on the podcast, Iuliia Mendel, former press secretary to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and author of the new book The Fight of Our Lives, discusses what it was like meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time.
