When you think of Glenn Beck, the term "manic depressive" usually comes to mind. If you've ever managed to sit through one of his shows, you don't know whether he's gonna start screaming at a guest, or if he's going to break down and start crying on the set. He's certainly the last person in the world you'd expect to be going on a COMEDY tour. Luckily comedian Matt Filipowicz stopped by Ring of Fire to talk to Mike Papantonio about Glenn's attempt at comedy, as well as several other outrageous stories from the past week.

The Corporate Takeover of America

The stimulus packages and bailouts that the government has been a little too willing to hand over to our financial industries have not only given these giants more cash in their pockets, but they've also given these companies unprecedented power over our federal government. No other industry has been able to show up in Washington and get a blank check with no oversight, which really shows just who is in charge in our nation's capitol. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about this shift in power with Rolling Stone political correspondent Matt Taibbi.

Dems Sell Out on Healthcare

Senator Max Baucus has put forth a proposal for healthcare reform. The only problem is that once you follow the money, you learn that Baucus is deep in the pocket of the insurance industry, as he's received more money from them than any other US Senator. Mike Papantonio takes Baucus to task for his plan, and outlines the problems facing the change we've been expecting for the country.

Ring of Fire's Weekly News

When the traditional media died years ago, blogs and independent news sources stepped in to fill the void they left. Unfortunately, a lot of these blogs are taking the same route as their predecessors, as they've become filled with stories about Jon & Kate and other celebrity infotainment that they're trying to pass off as news. And because there are so few outlets that bring you stories that actually matter, we bring you the weekly Ring of Fire buried stories to help keep you up to speed on what's happening in the real world. Joining Mike Papantonio this week to run through our stories is Sam Seder, co-host of Air America's Break Room Live.

So nice to see Rethugnicans like Mark Sanford trashing marriage ahead of the evil "gays" who were about to do it for them!

Nothing like getting a head start over "The Gay".

Then again, it's so heartening to know Sanford supports foreign labor.

I guess there's some blowjobs Americans won't do afterall!

He did vote for CAFTA?

ccbatson · June-27-09, 10:37 PM

Sigh...Rush did no such thing. It is beyond absurd for the liberal media to think that anyone that has ever heard Rush would believe this for a second.

Reigning in Corporate Greed

Thanks to an almost complete lack of regulation, the executives on Wall Street were able to gamble our economy for their own personal gain, ignoring ethics and in some cases the rule of law along the way. And while Congress is still trying to figure out whether or not to take action, the labor movement in America has decided to take matters into their own hands. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks with Richard Trumka, the secretary treasurer of the AFL-CIO, who has some big ideas on how to reign in the corruption and greed that has become too commonplace among Wall Street insiders.

Human Trafficking and the Global Recession

It surprises a lot of people to learn that not only does slavery still exist across the globe, but that the human trafficking industry is still thriving. And this isn't just in third world, underdeveloped countries - Its happening in our own backyard. And while efforts have been made to reduce the number of people who are kidnapped and put to work as laborers or prostitutes, the global recession is causing the human slave trade to reach new heights. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about this rise in trafficking, and what efforts are being done to control it, with Benjamin Skinner, author of the book "A Crime so Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern Day Slavery."

Stimulus: Mission Accomplished?

While the new jobs report shows that the economy is still losing close to half a million jobs each month, there are undeniable facts showing that, in states where stimulus money has begun to flow, jobs are being saved and created. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire takes on Stuart Varney [[sitting in for Neil Cavuto,) who says that the stimulus has been an utter failure.

ccbatson · July-01-09, 08:01 PM

Propping up dictatorial regimes, controlling the price and supply of oil, and even instances of murder. These aren't the crimes of Saddam Hussein, these are the many crimes of Chevron, one of the largest oil companies in the world.

Does Healthcare Funding Add Up?

President Obama wants his healthcare reform package to be "deficit neutral," meaning that whatever we spend on the program is going to be offset in some other way. Republicans don't seem to understand this concept, so Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire appears on "Cavuto" on Fox Business Network to set the record straight.

Is the Stimulus Working?

The GOP is up in arms over the fact that President Obama said that positive effects of the stimulus package are already being seen around the country. They seem to be ignoring the fact that teachers' jobs have been saved in several states, infrastructure repairs are already underway, and police and firefighters are holding onto their positions. It isn't the 2.5 million jobs that Obama promised, but since its been less than 100 days since the stimulus was enacted, that's expected. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire appears on "Cavuto" to debate the issue.

Michelle Bachmann- teaching the Census to the Senseless

How this wing nut keeps her job after going into a manic tirade on how she's not going to sign the census, when she will lose her job over it, is really breathtaking. Going on about work camps and world currencies, all one can do is laugh heartily.

She and Saracuda Palin are in the running to claim Katherine Harris' crown as the most bubbleheaded freakshow this side of Barnum & Bailey's!

I actully hope they keep it up, as on it's face, these three broads are the poster children for the mental defective ward patients running the Rethuglican Party today.

This is better than PayPerView.
