Episode 783: FBI Second in Command Blocked Farron! Don Jr's Hunting Buddy Gets Job

This week on Ring of Fire!


Donald Trump has picked conspiracy-peddling podcaster Dan Bongino
to serve as the Deputy Director of the FBI immediately under Kash
Patel. Bongino has no FBI experience, but he has plenty of
experience trying to “own the libs” on social media while also
spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and COVID.
His COVID lies were so bad that he was actually banned from
YouTube several years ago, and now he brings his “I hate the
left” mentality to the top law enforcement agency in the country.


A federal court ordered Donald Trump to immediately pause his
pause on federal funding, but that order doesn’t appear to have
had any impact on Trump’s decisions. The administration has
continued to halt funding for National Institute of Health’s
medical research development, meaning that new, potentially
life-saving treatments are no longer being funded. This decision
along could cost countless lives across the globe.


A hunting pal of Donald Trump, Jr. has been installed as the
acting deputy commissioner for human foods at the FDA. The man,
Kyle Diamantas, has been a hunting partner of Junior for years,
and his friendship is being rewarded with a position that he is
grossly unqualified to hold. Diamantas is also a lawyer who has
spent his career representing major food companies – the same
companies he’ll now be “trusted” to regulate.


Donald Trump appeared to lose his mind this week in a post on
Truth Social where he threatened to start suing people who write
mean books about him. He then went a step further and suggested
that he may start suing any writer or commentator that talks bad
about him, and THEN went on to suggest that maybe he’ll change
libel laws to make that easier to do. This is fascism at work.


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