Republican Senator Tom Cotton has been a fierce opponent of criminal justice reform for years, and on multiple occasions - including yesterday - he tweeted out that America has a problem with UNDER incarcerating people. This is a massive lie, as America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, along with the largest prison population as a whole. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why Tom Cotton keeps going back to this same issue.

Fascist sociopath Tom Cotton on Tuesday of this week, tweeted out that America has a serious under incarceration problem. Now he did this, it was a quote tweet of a story talking about the rise in crime in the United States that actually happened in 2020, which is a bit bizarre considering we're in a pandemic. We were all locked down, but yes, statistics do show that there was a rise in crime in 2020, and Tom Cotton thought this was a perfect opportunity to trot out his trusty old talking point that America is quote under incarcerated. And yeah, that's right. This is a trusted old talking point from Tom Cotton because you go back in his history, the man has literally been saying that exact same thing for five straight years. So this was not a new thought that Tom Cotton had. It's just the first time that he was able to say this, that anybody actually paid attention to him. I took the time, I went back through the dude's history and yeah, this is his big theme. For the last five years, he has been telling us, of course, nobody was paying attention because he was a nobody then. I don't blame you. But now we are and now we know, Tom Cotton wants more and more Americans locked up. And for the record, I'm sure everybody already knows this at this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3jPjMoN5qs

Last year, Republicans in Florida passed legislation that created a "State Guard" in Florida that only answered to governor Ron DeSantis. The stated purpose of the group was to respond to natural disasters. But several military veterans that have resigned from the group say that they were actually being combat trained and that the group was about to receive high tech weaponry and eavesdropping capabilities that none of them are comfortable with. To put it bluntly, they claim they were being trained as DeSantis' personal militia. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

The United States is falling dangerously behind in medical research as other companies make tremendous progress. Farron, this story about the Cub, about Cuba drugs, Cuban drugs that really are making a difference in Alzheimer's disease. Now we compare that to what happened with GenTech and what happened with Biogen, GenTech and Biogen lied to the American public for a decade. They said, we have this great Alzheimer's drug. The, even, even the clinicals were phonied up. But we know the Cubans, the Cuban drug really does work. I mean, there's, the clinicals are, are first of all, they're honest, nothing phonied up and it's working. Right. Give me your take on it. The, Cuba is now in phase four. Yes. Of their drug trials for this Alzheimer's and Parkinson's drug, because it's showing that, hey, it's stopping, it is stopping brain deterioration and helping people actually improve their cognitive functions. Yeah. That is amazing. They're almost, I mean, I don't want to give too much hope here, but it seems like they're almost reversing these, these conditions. If you read the, if you read the articles, you, you, you certainly looks like that. Yeah. And then we, as you said, contrast this to the US, which by the way, both of these stories came out within about 48 hours of each other. Mm-hmm. And nobody connected them. No. But the US, 20 years, our drug companies that we are funding through the National Institute of Health using taxpayer dollars. Mm-hmm. It's so, the phoning up was so bad, they weren't just lying about the results, they were Photoshopping their own images of people's brains. Yes. To show, oh, look, it got better. Yes. And then they finally looked and said, wait a minute, you just took a picture of a healthy brain and cut out that part and glued it on top. Okay. There's a reason for all this. Okay. And there, we have a 99% failure rate with American, 99%, with American companies that are saying, we're solving this problem. First of all, they started off with a lie. That, that's where this all begins. Yeah. The big lie started off with phonied up research that was coming that said, look, if we can deal with the amyloid problem and the plaque problem, if we can reduce the amyloid problem in the brain and the plaque problem in the brain, we're gonna cure it. They found out, no, that's not even, it's not even accurate. They were said, we, we have a drug because we have reduced plaques and we have reduced the amyloid problem, but it had nothing to do in the long run with Alzheimer's. Right. So they developed these drugs that attacked these issues that were not the issues. Yeah. And honest to God, the difference here, because it's not just Cuba, who also, by the way, has a lung cancer vaccine that we're in the US not allowed to take. So they've got this, they've got the Parkinson's treatment, the Alzheimer's. South Korea has become a leader in medical develop. China, China has taken over. Mm-hmm. It's because we are profit driven here in the United States. We let big profits, so instead of tackling the real diseases, what are our drug companies doing? We'll look at the ads on TV. Are you moving your leg a little too much while you sleep? Here's $500 a month for this drug. It'll stop your leg movement. Are your eyes a little too scratchy every now and then? Mm-hmm. Those are the problems we're tackling while the rest of the world. It's low, it's called low, corporate low hanging fruit. Yeah. Okay. And, and here's, here's one big difference. #rof #trofire #theringoffire #progressivenews ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjrXPH5_0m8

In the middle of a record-shattering global heat wave, Republicans in Washington, D.C. have decided that the best way to tackle the problem is to limit president Biden's ability to tackle the problem. Republicans have introduced legislation that would severely limit the President's authority to declare an emergency related to extreme weather - like the events that we are seeing across the country right now. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

I don't know if you've noticed this, but there is a massive heat wave that has engulfed most of the Northern hemisphere. In recent weeks, we have had 18 people die in Phoenix, Arizona alone from extreme heat. We have had other states report heat related death. 100 million Americans are currently living under a severe heat advisory just in this country. What's happening over in Europe is equally as severe to the point where the Italian government this week basically had to issue stay at home orders for people to avoid the extreme heat. Like, do not go outside unless you absolutely have to stay indoors because the heat could kill you. Now the reason I'm even mentioning that one, because it's a massive indication that climate change is not approaching, it has barged into our living room and said, here I am, deal with me. But the main reason I'm bringing this up is because according to a new report from Lever News, Republicans in both the House and Senate are pushing legislation that would prevent President Biden and any subsequent future president from declaring a climate emergency and using those emergency powers to move the country away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and other climate related activities. You know, putting attacks on methane, restricting emissions, all of the things that as a country we need to do. Republicans are saying, how dare you even consider it? Which by the way, for the record, as far as we know, Biden is not even considering that he should be. People are dropping dead in the United States because it's so hot. If that's not a climate emergency, then I don't know what is. But you got these two a-hole Republican legislators, uh, representative August Pflueger from Texas and Republican Senator Shelly Capito from West Virginia. So you got an oil state and a coal state. And by the way, both of these individuals, uh, Fluger, especially heavily invested in fossil fuels, and they've put forth legislation saying you can't declare climate emergency. You can't save American lives in the future by taking action against climate change today, the lever, because they're real journalists and they do an amazing job of reporting. One of my favorite news outlets, by the way, they've reported that this piece of legislation called the Real Emergencies Act, uh, the seven sponsors in the Senate have received a combined 3.1 million in contributions from fossil fuel industry executives and political action committees over the 2017 to 2022 cycle. The Bill's 19 house sponsors have raked in 1.7 million From fossil fuel executives and PACS during the 20 21, 20 22 election cycle. And that's based on information available at Open Secrets. So you got more than 3 million that these folks in the Senate who sponsored the bill, have received from fossil fuels. You got 1.7 million from the 19 folks in the house that they've received in just the last two years. And that tells you everything you need to know about why these people are doing what they're doing. 3 million is worth more to these people than dozens of lives that have already been lost this summer alone from extreme heat. More people are going to die. More people will die today from extreme heat as these Republicans try to block any action on this whatsoever. And I'm not trying to suggest that if Biden declared a state of emergency and cut fossil fuel production, nobody would die from now on. Okay? We are not going to fix this issue of climate change and extreme heat events overnight. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsawdcvGuHk
