This week’s Ring of Fire, hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Mike Papantonio and Sam Seder: Saturdays at 3 o’clock Eastern, rebroadcasts Sunday nights at 8 pm Eastern

This week on Ring of Fire: author Ari Berman will be here to tell us why, in the midst of all the debt negotiations taking place in Washington, job creation has been completely left out of the conversations.

Frank Schaeffer, author of the new book “Sex, Mom, and God”, will join us to talk about how religious extremism is pushing people towards violent and desperate acts of violence.

The founder of 350.org Bill McKibben will be here to tell us about the two year prison sentence handed down by a federal judge this week to Tim DeChristopher, an environmental activist who disrupted an oil industry land auction.

Author Cliff Schecter will join us to discuss the dangerous epidemic of stupidity that currently has a stranglehold on Washington politicians.

And we’ll also be talking with Daily Kos contributing editor Laura Clawson about how the GOP is willing to sacrifice airline safety just to destroy unions.
