John explains how little convicts make and what ridiculous ways the private prisons and the local government come up with to make them spend it the way they want, and how some selfish companies are now even profiting off of prisoners' innocent families. Also, John covers the horrific shootings at Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas, UK PM Boris Johnson's bad week, and Trump's baffling Director of National Intelligence pick, John Ratcliffe, and what that says about his vetting process.
