An estimated 1.5 million people have been infected during the recent Zika Virus Outbreak in Brazil. First discovered in 1947, the Zika Virus made its way to South America, Central America and the Caribbean for the first time in 2015. With possible links to Guillain-Barré syndrome, Microcephaly and other devastating birth defects – fears around the spread of Zika have grown in recent weeks and scary news headlines reflect growing concern. From conspiracy theories around Genetically Modified Mosquitoes to demands for increased research and investment into a Zika Virus vaccine – the reactions have been rapid and startling.

As a graduate of both Princeton University and Harvard Law School, Cruz has an extensive background in constitutional law - previously working for the United States Department of Justice and as Texas Solicitor General. Cruz also served as a domestic policy adviser to President George W. Bush and was an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin - teaching U.S. Supreme Court litigation. The son of a Cuban refugee who fled persecution and belonging to a family brought back together through religion - Cruz ran for Senate as part of the Tea Party movement, threatening to fight back against the Washington Cartel, Wall Street corruption and banks that were too big to fail. As Cruz battled Donald Trump and Marco Rubio for support, he’s faced several controversies around Presidential eligibility, Immigration, Syrian Refugees, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and undisclosed loans from both Goldman Sachs and Citibank.

Among other things, the Hammonds were charged with various counts of Arson on federal property – punishable by a five-year mandatory minimum sentence according to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. On January 2nd, an estimated 300 Hammond family supporters – including Ammon Bundy, son of Cliven Bundy – held a peaceful protest against what they called the unconstitutional treatment of the ranchers. While the peaceful protest continued, Ammon Bundy and other armed individuals left, entering and occupying the Bureau of Land Management’s Malheur Wildlife Refuge headquarters, which had been closed for the holiday. Following the occupation, Ammon Bundy said the refuge’s creation was “an unconstitutional act,” and called for the release of the Hammonds and for the federal government to relinquish control of the area. “This is about the federal government controlling the land and resources, and putting whole counties and whole states in economic duress, this is about violations of human rights, about the federal government not even caring about what is in the Constitution.” Sources http://landrights.org/or/Hammond/Transcript%20of%20Judges%20ruling.pdf http://sblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Hammond-v-United-States-13-1512-Reply-to-Brief-in-Opposition.pdf http://landrights.org/or/Hammond/Hammond-v-United-States-Oregon-Petition-for-Writ-of-Certiorari-Filed-June-17-2013.pdf http://www.justice.gov/usao-or/pr/eastern-oregon-ranchers-convicted-arson-resentenced-five-years-prison http://www.thefencepost.com/news/18847695-113/two-members-of-oregons-hammond-family-to-serve https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42346.pdf

In our politically correct society, an honest discussion about crime and the causes of criminality is often prevented by emotional hysteria. What are the indicators and predictors of criminality? Is crime simply a natural byproduct of poverty? Does the prevalence of single motherhood impact criminality? Do crime rates differ by race/ethnicity? What does the Warrior Gene - Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) 2R - have to do with criminality and aggression? What is the truth about crime? Crime by Race Because of the obscure way in which the FBI reports the race and ethnicity of offenders, we had to make several approximations. First off, Hispanic data is separated from race data and is broken down to "Hispanic" or "not Hispanic" for the entire dataset. While it is safe to assume that most Hispanics were classified as white because of the colour of their skin, we didn't want to make any assumptions. To figure out the percentage of Hispanic offenders and separate it from the white, black, asian etc. race categories, we used Census data on how Hispanics identify themselves racially. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of them identify as white, and very few consider themselves black. Given the very low percentage of black Hispanics, we counted "Some Other Race" as white. Another problem with the FBI dataset was the vast number of "Unknown" reported offenders. Because we couldn't make any reasonable assumptions about the race of the unknown offenders, we used the arrest tables as a proxy for the distribution of crime by race. https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014 http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-04.pdf#page=15 2014 City Crime Data: City data from the U.S. Census Bureau: http://www.census.gov City Crime data from the FBI: https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/tables/table-6 Historical Crime http://www.ucrdatatool.gov/ Unemployment http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsrace2013.pdf#page=43 Poverty and Welfare http://cis.org/Welfare-Use-Immigrant-Native-Households http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/morality-prevents-crime http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2163974/Poverty-excuse-crime-morality-biggest-factor-claims-Cambridge-University-study.html Single Mothers and Divorce http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss.htm https://www.census.gov/hhes/families/data/families.html Intelligence http://www.amazon.com/The-Factor-Evolution-Behavior-Intelligence/dp/0275961036 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289610001340 Genetics http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18212819 https://www.soc.umn.edu/~uggen/Caspi_SCI_02.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25082653 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4369574 http://www.antoniocasella.eu/archipsy/Beaver_2013.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16801953 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_oxidase_A#Aggression_and_the_.22Warrior_gene.22 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2756753 Spanking Prevalence http://www.childtrends.org/?indicators=attitudes-toward-spanking http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/are-asian-american-parents-less-likely-spank-their-children-n221171 http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090924231749.htm

It was widely speculated that an increase in the interest rate would occur in September, but the month came and went without change. It was reported that the Federal Reserve wanted to see more improvement in the economy before raising the key interest rate. Despite approximately $3.5 trillion worth of asset purchases since 2007 and the unprecedented and prolonged decrease of the Effective Federal Funds Rate to a historical low - effectively 0% - the economy had yet to recover enough to warrant a rate increase. With their “the economy is recovering, we promise” credibility on the line, the Federal Reserve increased the interest rate 0.25% on December 16th - effectively adjusting it in name only and leaving it at historic lows. This didn’t stop the mainstream media from proclaiming the "dawning of a new era,” announcing an end to “an era of easy money that helped save the nation from another Great Depression." There Will Be No Economic Recovery. Prepare Yourself Accordingly. Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.

The San Bernardino County Public Health Department held their annual holiday gathering at the Inland Regional Center on Wednesday. The party ended with 14 people shot dead and 21 injured in the latest terrorist attack – this time on American soil. California health inspector Syed Rizwan Farook and his Saudi Arabian wife Tashfeen Malik were involved in the shooting/terrorist attack and were later killed during a shootout with Police. As police continued to look for a third suspect, thousands of rounds of ammunition, 12 pipe bombs and hundreds of tools that "could be used to construct IEDs or pipe bombs” were found in the couples’ home. As President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and the mainstream media cling to their false narrative of “workplace violence,” it was confirmed that Farook had contact a suspected terrorist under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The United States is currently taking in 10,000 Syrian refugees and President Barack Obama has commented about taking in 100,000 refugees total (not just from Syria) in each of the next two years. The Governors of 31 U.S. States are refusing to take any additional refugees from Syria – and others are demanding additional information on the efficacy of any screening procedures. On November 19th, the U.S. House of Representatives approved legislation requiring new screening of Middle Eastern refugees. President Barack Obama threatened to veto the legislation, but the 289-137 vote - including 47 Democrats - is enough to override any veto attempt and these concerns cross party lines.

Reports show 129 people are dead, 352 injured and 99 of the injured are in critical condition after the Terrorist attacks in Paris, France on Friday November 13th, 2015. Three coordinated teams of Islamic Terrorists - some with AK-47s, some acting as suicide bombers - attacked seven sites throughout the French capital with the worst carnage occurring at the Bataclan concert hall, with at least 89 left dead. ISIS released a statement on Saturday November 14th, claiming responsibility for the attacks.

Dr. Ben Carson overcame a very difficult upbringing and a vicious tempter to become a gifted neurosurgeon famous for pioneering life-saving brain surgery techniques and for leading a team of seventy people to separate conjoined twins. Carson is currently battling Donald Trump at the top of the polls for the Republican presidential nomination. As of late the mainstream media has questioned the truth of Carson’s backstory – raising some legitimate questions but also smearing him with nonsensical falsehoods.

We don’t look into their past, we don’t look into their associations. We don’t look into their accomplishments. We don’t look into the kind of person they are. And all of those things become clear. I actually welcome the magnifying glass. I don’t have any problem.” http://www.newsmax.com/Newsmax-Tv/DrBen-Carson-Magnifying-Glass-Islamic-State-ISIS/2015/01/16/id/619126/ Ben Carson’s Violent History “I would go after people with baseball bats. I remember once a guy hit me with a pebble, and I took a big rock and threw it right at his face, broke his glasses, almost put his eye out. I remember another kid did something silly, shut my locker or something when I wasn’t ready, and I took the combination lock and put it in my hand and (pop) knocked a three-inch gash in his forehead. I was terrible, I tried to hit my mother in the head with a hammer.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD9vn3QIsZs http://www.mediaite.com/online/ben-carson-should-produce-his-long-form-stabbing-certificate/ “When I was 14, another teenager angered me, and I took a large camping knife and I tried to stab him in the abdomen, and fortunately under his clothing he had on a large metal belt buckle and the knife blade struck with such force that it broke and he fled in terror.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLbe2Klls3c http://www.mediaite.com/online/ben-carson-should-produce-his-long-form-stabbing-certificate/ “Oh, that really happened,” Carson’s mother told Parade Magazine in 1997. “I sat him down and told him that you don’t accomplish much by being a bully. You accomplish more with kindness than you ever do by being harsh.” http://nypost.com/2015/11/10/mom-says-so-ben-carson-really-did-try-to-stab-a-kid/ http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/nov/9/ben-carsons-mother-verified-stabbing-story-in-1997/ “I was more terrified as I recognized that I was trying to kill somebody over nothing.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLbe2Klls3c http://www.mediaite.com/online/ben-carson-should-produce-his-long-form-stabbing-certificate/ “I was already reading about personality disorders and behavior disturbances, and I knew that I had one…and I said ‘Lord, you’re going to have to be my psychotherapist, because I can’t go on like this,’ and I just turned it over to Him. And I said, ‘If you want me to do something in life, you’re gonna have to fix this. If not, you know, I’ll just go on like this, but I’ll tell you right now, I can’t do it.'” http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3bo3k3_ben-carson-says-he-knew-he-had-a-personality-disorder-told-god-to-cure-it-or-else_news http://thedailybanter.com/2015/10/here-are-7-crazy-things-ben-carson-said-in-one-speech-to-quack-mannatech-group/ “I recognized that if I couldn’t control that temper, I would never realize my dream of becoming a doctor.” http://fortune.com/2015/05/04/ben-carson-fortune-classic/ Recently the media has questioned the stabbing story and Carson now claims that almost victim previously described as Bob was a “close relative,” under an alias. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ben-carson-stabbing_563c1115e4b0b24aee49cb2f “The person that I tried to stab, you know, I talked to today, said would they want to be revealed? They were not anxious to be revealed. And it was a close relative of mine. I didn’t want to put their lives under the spotlight. This is something that I wanted to do. none of those people decided that they wanted to do this. And the media is ruthless. So I would say to the people of America, do you think I’m a pathological liar like CNN does? Or do you think I’m an honest person.” http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3cpsbr_ben-carson-changes-his-stabbing-story-again_news

The fiercely debated issue of Gun Control strongly divides Democrats and Republicans in the United States of America. The Second Amendment becomes a hot topic of conversation whenever a shooting makes the national news and tempers flare across the political spectrum. This presentation presents the available evidence regarding gun prevalence, gun homicides, gun control laws and much more in an attempt to get to the bottom of this complicated issue.

First off, Hispanic data is separated from race data and is broken down to "Hispanic" or "not Hispanic" for the entire dataset. While it is safe to assume that most Hispanics were classified as white because of the colour of their skin, we didn't want to make any assumptions. To figure out the percentage of Hispanic offenders and separate it from the white, black, asian etc. race categories, we used Census data on how Hispanics identify themselves racially. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of them identify as white, and very few consider themselves black. Given the very low percentage of black Hispanics, we counted "Some Other Race" as white. Another problem with the FBI dataset was the vast number of "Unknown" reported offenders. Because we couldn't make any reasonable assumptions about the race of the unknown offenders, we used the arrest tables as a proxy for the distribution of crime by race.

A recent independently verified report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has answered that question - and the results are incredibly shocking. The report by Dr. Steven Camarota titled “Welfare Use by Immigrant and Native Households” which analyzed welfare usage using the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) data. The major welfare programs covered in this report include Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the Women Infants and Children food program (WIC), free or subsidized school lunch, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - more commonly known as food stamps, and public housing or rent subsidies. What is the truth about Immigrants and welfare usage? What does this mean for the future of the United States of America?

The topic of Immigration - and Illegal Immigrants, Refugees or Migrants – provokes an incredibly strong reaction from many different people. With Donald Trumps’ rapid rise in American politics and his incredibly controversial statements Illegal Immigrants many people are letting their ideology trump facts, reason and evidence. This presentation is the first in a series which looks to dispel the myths about Immigrants – and aims to separate the facts from the fiction with strict data analysis. Why are people so concerned about Immigration in the United States of America? Who is coming into the United States both legally and illegally - and how has it changed over time?

IQ and Immigration | Jason Richwine and Stefan Molyneux

The mere mention of South Africa in a discussion provokes deep images of institutional racism, discrimination and horrific violence. An in-depth look at the controversial history of South Africa, Stefan Molyneux separates the fact from fiction and discusses: the communist history of South Africa, the South African Frontier Wars, the Suppression of Communism Act, the Bantu, population growth, racial demographics, catastrophic economic decisions, the devaluation of the S.A. Rand, rampant price inflation, affirmative action, family structure, one of the worst education systems in the world, unemployment, Eskom’s rolling power outages, white flight, rising criminality, an astronomical murder rate, horrific rape statistics, the rampant sexual abuse of children, prevalence of HIV/AIDS, white farmer genocide, police corruption, President Jacob Zuma, the “kill the Boer” song, life expectancy, road fatalities and the untold history of Apartheid.

MP3 Download: http://www.fdrpodcasts.com/#/3049/the-truth-about-welfare-past-present-and-future In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared an “unconditional war on poverty in America” - not simply to “relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it.” How has that worked out? Today there are over 126 Federal antipoverty programs and in constant dollars, Federal spending has risen from $107 billion to $688 billion – or 640%. Total government spending has ballooned to $21,000 for every person below the poverty level in America, or $63,339 for a family of three. Since the war on poverty began, $19 trillion dollars have been spent ending poverty, but the poverty rate has increased. What is the Truth About Welfare?

One year after the shooting death of Michael Brown by the hands of Police Officer Darren Wilson and the rise of the Black Lives Matter activist group, Ferguson has once again erupted in protests. With Ferguson, Missouri once again under a state of emergency, Stefan Molyneux looks at the underlying social, economic and governmental factors that have led to the escalating violence in Ferguson and the surrounding St. Louis area.

Under a near crippling amount of debt and unfunded liabilities, Chicago lawmakers recently moved towards pension reform - but were denied by the courts who deemed the reforms to be in violation of the Illinois constitution. On May 12nd, 2015, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Chicago’s credit rating once again, which means that in less than two years Chicago’s credit rating has dropped seven notches under the rating agency. Moody’s also announced major downgrades for the Chicago Board of Education and the Chicago Park District debt - reducing the bonds to junk levels. On July, 28th, 2015, Fitch Ratings followed by downgrading the Chicago Board of Education’s credit rating and also noted a negative outlook for the CPS which means that further downgrades are likely in the future. Chicago joins Detroit in the illusive group of major cities with junk bond ratings from major institutions, which carries with it incredibly serous financial repercussions and increases the costs of borrowing. The difference between the two cities is that Chicago’s debt and unfunded liabilities are more than three times higher than Detroit’s were when the city declared bankruptcy in 2013. Chicago is unable to restructure its debt because the state does not allow municipalities to go bankrupt. To put things in perspective: Every Chicago household is currently on the hook for at least $63,800 in local-government debt. If things couldn’t possibly get any worse, the threat of another teachers strike is looming over the Chicago Public Schools with the expiration of the teachers’ union contract.

The world’s economic landscape has been rocked by the Greece Debt Crisis and as austerity looms over the Greek population - Athens burns, protests mount and fear of a Grexit rises. As discussions about debt forgiveness and a possible bailout continue the Eurozone is on edge with fears as to the future stability of the Euro and the possibility of economic collapse. As Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and German Chancellor Angela Merkel engage in a showdown with the world watching, everybody is looking for answers as to how this problem originated.

Over the years, the general public has been told many false reasons as to why the Euro was necessary. Everything from economic stability - to preventing World War III has been used as justification for the European currency’s existence.

China just lost over $3 trillion of stock value, what this means to you, your house, your money, your future and your chances for true economic and political freedom. After more than doubling in value over the last year despite a slowing economy and weak corporate earnings reports - the stock market in China is in a freefall. While the eyes of the world are on Greece and the European Union – China’s economy is imploding. Since June 12th, 2015, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index has fallen 31.2% - wiping out over $3.2 trillion USD of the markets total value - and there seems to be no immediate end to the market plunge in sight. There Will Be No Economic Recovery. Prepare Yourself Accordingly. Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Nine people are dead after a shooting that occurred on Wednesday at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The congregation, established in 1816, is one of the oldest African American churches in the United States. Gunman Dylann Roof told the worshipers, "I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country and you have to go." One woman was specifically spared as Roof said, “I'm not going to shoot you because I want you to tell everyone what happened.” Authorities believe that Roof acted alone – but as we’ll soon discuss, no mass murderer truly acts alone. Roof has now been charged with nine counts of murder and has reportedly confessed to carrying out the shootings. In discussions with investigators, he said: “I wanted to start a race war, but almost didn’t go through with it because everyone was so nice.” On Saturday, Dylann Roof’s personal website “The Last Rhodesian” was discovered. The website featured additional photographs and a 2,500-word manifesto which explained his motivations. What is the truth about Dylann Roof? Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Male Privilege is a term for social, economic, and political advantages or rights that are made available to men solely on the basis of their sex. Feminists tend to believe that they are living under patriarchy - where men hold the power and women are unfairly exploited.

George Washington was unanimously elected as the first president of the United States of America after winning the American Revolutionary War as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.Washington was first called "Father of his Country" three years after the beginning of the Revolutionary War – a status he earned not only for his military accomplishments, but also because of the numerous virtues he was perceived to possess as a human being.But within Washington's impeccable character, one quality stood out the most – a unique immunity to the corrupting effects of power, which stemmed from his selfless nature. "I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power," stated Robert Frost, "America's great poet-philosopher." After overthrowing the tyranny of the British Empire, Americans were unwilling to trust anyone with the power of a central government, yet in George Washington they saw a man who had transcended human fallibility. "Had he lived in the days of idolatry," the Pennsylvania Journal noted in 1777, Washington would have been "worshipped as a god."How could such a man ever abuse his power, let alone become a tyrant? Furthermore, if men like Washington exist and can be elected into power, perhaps the United States government would never follow in the footsteps of the hated British Empire.Does the mortal George Washington live up to his immortal legend?
