Tucker Carlson has been accused of parroting propaganda on behalf of the Russian government ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, to the point where he's even being called out by his fellow Republicans. But this week, Tucker took things to a whole new level by suggesting that the US is only sending aid to Ukraine in order to punish Russia for interfering in the 2016 election. This is a new level of anti-American propaganda, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Tucker Carlson has been accused, not just by the left, but by people on the right, as well as serving as a propaganda mouthpiece for the Kremlin. Uh, even before Russia decided to invade Ukraine in the lead up to that invasion, Russian state media was airing full segments from Tucker Carlson, basically praising Russia. And by the way, they're actually still doing that sometimes. So this past Monday, Tucker Carlson comes out and he's launched a new conspiracy theory to try to make Russia look better. And of course, make the us look worse. And this new conspiracy that Tucker Carlson has hatched is that the United States is only supplying aid to Ukraine. Not because we care about Ukraine, but because we wanna make Russia look bad because we wanna punish them for Hillary Clinton, not winning the 2016 election here is exactly what Tucker Carlson had to a say on his Monday evening program, we don't arm Ukraine so we can help the Ukrainians. They are merely unfortunate ponds in all of this. We arm Ukraine so that we can punish Russia. Why for stealing Hillary Clinton's coronation Democrats have convinced themselves Russia stole the presidency. It's rightfully belong to Hillary Cl ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2-hdgNpFD8

A new lawsuit claims that the prison system in Alabama is engaged in a form of modern day slavery by leasing out inmates to private businesses and then taking their wages to keep for themselves. Then, Democrats in both the House and Senate have introduced legislation that would prevent Wall Street from owning single-family homes in this country. Mike Papantonio & Farron Cousins discuss more.

A new lawsuit claims that the prison system in Alabama has engaged in a form of modern day slavery. The state's been leasing out inmates to private businesses and then taking their wages to keep for themselves. I've got Farron Cousins with me to talk about this. Farron, my thought is, okay, first of all, you got people there that want to get out of the house, right? The idea they want to go do that. They don't like hanging around their cell all day long. So this gives 'em something to do. But there's another side to it, isn't there? Go ahead and pick up. Yeah. What we're seeing happen in the state of Alabama, which by the way, is making the state about half a billion dollars a year, is they're doing what's called convict leasing. So they take these prisoners who, as you say, they wanna work, they want to not sit in jail where they're at risk of being assaulted or murdered. So they say, yeah, I'll go work at McDonald's for you, because that's one of the places they have a contract. So then they get their paychecks and realize, wait a minute, there's only a few dollars on here. Where's the rest of my money? Oh, the state government took it because they, I guess, just felt entitled to it. They take 40%. Yeah. Guy says, well, this is a chance for me to get, and it is true. I mean, they did a study on this one time, and the prisoners really like to get away from what they're doing every day, but when they turn it into slavery and there's a different side to it too. The other side is some of these guys are wondering, are they holding me here when I should be paroled? In other words, am I being held back from being able to get outta here and get a real job so that these folks can make half, half a billion? Yeah. A year. Half a billion dollars a year on my work. Typically its fast food, right? Yeah. Fast food. They also do some construction work, obviously, and other things where they're kind of removed from being directly involved with other people. But you brought up a really great point there. The denying of the parole. Even just not even giving these people parole hearings. There was one woman who was supposed to have a parole hearing back in 2020, and they pushed it down the road years so that she could keep going to work sometimes six days a week. The other part of it is they're punishing the people that don't want to do this. They've got all kinds of ways to do that. You know, put you over to bad cell or maybe ship you off to a higher security cell, a higher security prison. They can move around all over Alabama. But it's got two sides to it. Like I said, I did see an article a while back where these guys say, well, this is good. I get to get out. I don't necessarily wanna give 40% of my money to the state, but it gives me something to do. But then when it becomes punitive and you're saying, well, we're gonna hold back parole because we need these workers. We need slaves. So we're not gonna give you parole. And oh, by the way, if you don't participate, we're gonna ship you to a place where you might be killed in a very, very high security prison. Democrats in both the House and the state have introduced legislation that would prevent Wall Street from owning single family homes in this country. A move that could put home ownership back on the table for millions of Americans. There are so many young people that are coming outta college, taking a first job that can't afford a house. And there's no, nothing in sight for them. There's a reason for it. This is one of the reasons. Wall Street has been buying up all this property. 600,000 single family units. 600,000.
