A Christian university is being investigated by the federal government for possible human trafficking violations. Wow. I looked at this story. This is, this is Olivet University, it's a Christian college. It's not well known. I hate to even throw the word Christian college around it. It's, it's not really. It's a different kind of. It's a, it's a different kind of Christianity when you take a look at this. Labor trafficking, human trafficking, sex trafficking, you name it. It seems to be connected up in some way. Yeah. And what's really devastating about this story is that you have these students because that's what they were doing. They were recruiting students from Korea, from China saying, hey, come over here. We're gonna give you these student visas. You know, you can come to our college. You can maybe make a better life for yourself. They get over here and then they just ship them off to work these, you know, below minimum wage jobs, obviously. They get paid pennies on the dollar and then they never follow through. They never even track where these people were, were being shipped to and that's what this whole thing is starting to look like. That this really was just a massive criminal front for human trafficking. You know, as you look at this story, Newsweek came out with this story. Now I was really interested in that because Newsweek, one of the owners of Newsweek is directly tied to this Christian university. I mean, not only that, but the other 50%, that it controls this university is a guy named Dev Pragad. He's the one that has the Jans Christian sect. It is a weird Christian sect. And so you got 50% owned by the people that, you know, anyway you cut it somebody knew what was going on and Newsweek in the middle trying to say, oh, well we have high ground because we're reporting it. No, they're not reporting it because of high ground. They're reporting it because they've been caught. Listen, this two years ago, these folks were fined a million, I think $1,700,000 for the same, for fraud and money laundering. And now this is surfacing. Well, that's because of the fraud and money laundering investigation, they didn't go far enough. Why are you laundering money? Yes. Where is the fraud? And so they had to come back after these other allegations came out and they said, oh God, I'm sorry. We forgot the other half of our investigation here. Well they stopped the inv, literally stopped the investigation. Had they gone on and followed the money trail. Right. Department of Justice, I say it again and again, if it's not low hanging fruit, if they can't go in and tie the case up in a month or if there's any shot that they might lose, they're not gonna do it. This is a great example of it. This should have been caught a long time ago. The same time they caught 'em for money laundering, same time they caught 'em for fraud. They should have continued the investigation. This story should never, never should have developed. Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to four years in prison for stealing from his client Stormy Daniels. What everybody doesn't understand is this guy has stolen from everybody. He, the most compelling story is he stole from one of his paraplegic clients where he just basically stole all the money that was supposed to go to the client. Yeah. And so, so this, this is an awful person who, oh, by the way, oh yeah, the Democrats thought he might be the new great white hope for the Democratic party. You remember that? Yeah. Right. When this guy emerged in 2017, 2018 with Stormy Daniels, he was on every single cable news show, every Sunday morning talk show. Yeah. A whole profile was written about how this guy and his fighting style, this is what the Democrats have been sorely needing. Is he possibly gonna be our 2020. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AySPyQJzhtM

During an online prayer meeting this week featuring his disgraced friends Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, Donald Trump's cell phone cut out while he was calling into the event. He called back a few moments later and continued, but not before claiming that "the radical left" had somehow hacked his phone. At first it seemed like a joke, but Trump's tone made it clear that he was actually blaming mythical hackers for dropping a call. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses the level of paranoid delusions that Trump seems to be laboring under.

On Monday of this week, Donald Trump joined in via phone call a pastors for Trump National prayer call that was also broadcast live on YouTube. And while Trump was called in talking to people like Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, who were also a part of this prayer call, Trump was asked by the leader of the group, like, what specifically do you want us to pray for right now? And at that point, there was a little bit of kind of jumbled noises before Donald Trump's call was completely dropped, and Trump immediately believed that the quote Radical left, had somehow hacked the phones. He of course, rejoined the call a few moments later. You know, he just called back. It wasn't that difficult. And he said, quote, okay, I guess we have some phone miscommunication. And I think what happened was the radical left was working on the phone. There is no question about it. And of course, he, he didn't provide any additional information. He just said, yeah, my call got dropped. Which is something that everybody who's ever been on a telephone knows, happens. Like that's not outta the realm of possibility. But no, in this particular instance, it wasn't because Donald Trump's fat thumb accidentally slid across the hangup button. It's not because he walked off into an area of his Mar-a-Lago or wherever the hell he is, that had worse reception. It's not because of an issue with satellites or 5G towers. No, no, no, no. It's because the radical left, somehow hacked into the phones. It gets even dumber. The, uh, the leader of the prayer call had this to say, he said, everything froze on our end. I think the system got overloaded with the number of viewers. So he's blaming the trolls backstage as he went on to tell The Daily Beast. Oh yeah. I mean, it was on YouTube and then so many people logged in. It was the trolls logging in that kinda overloaded the system. That's that, that's, that's really not how that would work if people were just watching it on YouTube. Like overloading YouTube is not going to cause Donald Trump's phone to cut out. Um, I, I, I'm assuming that these idiots don't, don't know how YouTube works. YouTube has their own servers. They got a lot of them, like videos can handle lots of viewers, like hundreds of thousands, possibly millions at a time without overloading the servers. Now I'm saying all of this and pointing out the stupidity Because I, I've worked in studios. I, I've worked back in the day, instead of doing these videos for YouTube, we actually hosted them ourselves. We had our own servers, and one time we did get a video that went kind of crazy and we had tens of thousands of people on it, and it overloaded our little bitty tiny servers. So the whole site went down for a bit. So yes, it's a thing that could happen, but it's not a thing that's gonna happen with YouTube because they're not an operation paying a guy to host a server in his house like we had to back in the day. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq9W511Wc1U

Rising income inequality in America isn't just an economic issue, it is a health issue, and a new study published in the journal Social Science & Medicine has the data to prove it.  According to the results of the new study, children who grew up during times of rising wealth inequality suffer from higher rates of illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and chronic lung problems. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why this is happening.

A new study published in the journal. Social science and medicine has revealed that income inequality, wealth, inequality, rising wealth inequality is in fact linked to adverse health effects in poor people, specifically low income children. Now here's what they did with this study. They looked at data, you know, national economic data. They looked at data from the national institutes of health. They looked at data from the CDC. They looked at, you know, different locations all throughout the country. And what they found was that children growing up in times of increasing, you know, rising wealth in equality suffered more frequently as they got older of heart disease, diabetes, chronic lung infections, and all sorts of other socioeconomic related health problems. And it all is tied directly. According to this study to wealth inequality here in the United States, the worst the inequality gets the worst, the health problems for poor people. And it's not, not a mystery as to why folks, when more wealth is concentrated at the top, there's less wealth down at the bottom. When there's less wealth down at the bottom, people aren't able to go to the doctors and treat conditions before they get worse. You know, you can't afford to go in there and monitor your blood sugar when you're prediabetic. So you don't even know that you're hitting that point. So eventually you hit full blown diabetes because you didn't have the test telling you to change your lifestyle. Change the way you do things before it becomes irreversible. Same thing with heart disease, you can't afford the screenings. You can't afford the blood work to test your cholesterol and all of those things. So, boom, you end up with heart problems later in life because you couldn't afford to get tested. You can't afford an asthma inhaler. You can't afford the steroid inhaler to strengthen your lungs every day. So you don't need a rescue inhaler. So you have more chronic lung problems as you grow older, not to mention the fact, and this is, you know, geography based. Most of these poorest people in the country happen to live in areas that are also heavily polluted, and that contributes to heart disease, to lung disease, to all kinds of endocrine disorders, poor people get screwed in this country more than anybody else, because that's the way it's designed. And that's what this study is telling us. We're killing people because they're poor. That's what's happening here in the United States and has been happening for decades. And this study is just the latest bit of proof that we have to show That this is happening and we have to reverse this. We have to reverse the income inequality. You know, Bernie Sanders has legislation out right now saying let's put a windfall tax on these massive corporations that are price gouging us. This is gonna slow down that rise in inequality. Let's push for higher minimum wages. Let's push for more unions because Hey, guess what? In areas where unions are stronger, these health effects are lessened. So that's a interesting little tidbit there. Push for the unions, get people better, pay, get people better benefits, push for universal healthcare. And we could probably eradicate most of these differences in health quality between the poor and the wealthy. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIjCXY12VPM
