EPisode 773: Hegseth Under Fire; Media Can't Get Enough of Hunter Biden; Crude Ted Cruz

This week on Ring of Fire!


A new piece from The New Yorker has revealed some shocking
allegations about Donald Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary, Pete
Hegseth. The report, which was based on a whistleblower’s report
from Hegseth’s time in the military, claims that Hegseth was
frequently intoxicated, made comments like “kill all Muslims,”
and had complaints about misogynistic behavior. If these
allegations are true, Senators need to make it clear right now
that they won’t vote to confirm him.


Donald Trump has issued a strong statement AGAINST President
Biden’s pardon for his son, Hunter, even though Trump said that
he was open to giving Biden’s son a pardon just a few months ago.
The media played right into Trump’s “disgust,” and they are going
to be the ones that weaponize the pardon long before Trump even
has the chance to do so.


Republican Congressman James Comer has spent the past 2 years
investigating Hunter Biden to no avail, and now he’s apoplectic
that Hunter has received a pardon from his father. Comer posted a
scathing message on social media, accusing the President of lying
for years about pardoning his son. The rest of the MAGA world is
also furious, but it doesn’t matter. This whole thing is only a
shock to people who have their fingers far removed from the pulse
of American politics.


Ted Cruz has emerged as one of the biggest butt-kissers of Donald
Trump, and he’s apparently refusing to let anyone else take that
mantle away from him. During an interview this week, the
irony-proof Cruz actually criticized the Morning Joe crew on
MSNBC for not just kissing up to Trump, but “kissing even lower”
than anyone else. But the crude sexual innuendo completely
ignores Cruz’s own history.


All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!
