We'll explain why that could be the final nail in the coffin for this particular lawsuit.</p> <p>Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to "divorce" Red States and Blue States, and she even has a plan to make that happen!

<p>On this episode of Ring of Fire!</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.)</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>All that, and more, on this episode of Ring of Fire!</p>

<p>This week on Ring of Fire!</p> <p>The January 6th Committee is about to begin their prime time hearings, so we're bringing you a very special episode of Ring of Fire.</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/digby56">Heather "Digby" Parton</a> from Salon.com will join Farron for a lengthy discussion about what we've learned from the Committee in the past 10 months, and what we can expect from these hearings. We'll also be discussing the <a href="https://www.salon.com/2022/06/08/fox-news-viewers-have-no-clue-network-blocks-nearly-all-critical-coverage-of-donald/">Republican distraction efforts</a> to make the public think that these hearings aren't that important.</p>

<p>This week on Ring of Fire!</p> <p>The Durham probe hit a major snag this week after Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman was acquitted of all charges. Conservatives are outraged, of course, but the probe has been going on for over 3 years now without any results. Time to let it go.</p> <p>Investigative reporter <a href="https://twitter.com/JordanChariton">Jordan Chariton</a> will be here to discuss the many failings of the Uvalde police force, and we'll discuss the likelihood that America passes comprehensive gun control measures.</p> <p>And on the member show, we've got even more Republican leaks! Their plans for harassing voters, stalling legislative action, and so much more have been revealed by a series of different leaks this week, and we'll take a look at each one of them.</p>
