This Week on Ring of Fire!

Vladimir Putin is continuing his assault on Ukraine, even as global sanctions cripple Russia's economy. The Russian people are sick of it all, and Putin now finds himself between a rock and a hard place - and that makes him far more dangerous. We'll discuss the latest on the conflict and how Putin's desperation could escalate the situation.

We'll also be talking with Panama Bartholomy from the Building Decarbonization Coalition about his group's efforts to help reduce carbon emissions, state by state, and why that strategy might be the only way to really tackle the crisis.

And we're taking your questions from our YouTube channel in this week's Q&A!

On this week's show:

President Biden gave his first State of the Union Address, but his words have been overshadowed by the outbursts of right wing lunatics Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene. We'll talk about what the speech means, and how it could be a turning point for the administration.

Jacobin contributor and author Luke Savage will discuss the devastating impacts that the expiration of the extended Child Tax Credits have had on children and working families.

Russia has launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and things are not looking good. Author Cliff Schecter will be here to explain what's happening, and he'll also give his insights into the good and bad developments in the many investigations into Donald Trump from the past week.

John Nichols from The Nation magazine will discuss rising inflation and the corporate greed that is driving prices even further, and he'll explain how Democrats can combat right wing talking points about the problem before the midterms.

And author and podcaster Chauncey DeVega will tell us how Donald Trump has ushered in a new era of "white victimhood" for Republicans that is driving a wedge deeper into the heart of America.

This week on Ring of Fire...

Hillary Clinton is going to JAIL! Or at least that's what conservative media wants you to think. The truth is that the Durham court filing from last week is a giant nothingburger, but that didn't stop outlets like Fox from telling their viewers that things have never been worse for Hillary. We'll explain why this is a giant distraction that actually means nothing.

And while Republicans are focusing on Hillary, Donald Trump and his kids had an absolutely horrible week that just continued to get worse with each passing day. We'll tell you why Trump and his kids might finally be in over their heads.

We'll also be talking about the assault on rights and democracy taking place at the state level by revisiting our recent interview with author David Pepper, which is more and more relevant every day.

Donald Trump could be in serious trouble for "stealing" boxes of documents from the White House. Republicans are keeping quiet about the scandal as it continues to get worse for Trump by the day. We'll bring you the details.

And we're taking YOUR QUESTIONS! We've got lots of viewers and listeners who want information, and we're taking a deep dive into the questions submitted to us via our YouTube channel.
