Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six, one seven, two sixty eight, sixty eight is the number.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
A lot of controversy now over new guidelines and requirements
that the Trump administration, through the State Department, has now
sent out to case officers, American embassies consulates all around
the world regarding again, we're talking legal immigration, whether when
visas are given to immigrants, whether it's travel you know,

(00:26):
tourism visas, work visas, or even a permanent residency green card.
They are now going to be adding a lot more requirements,
financial requirements, health requirements. But the one that's causing the
most and I'm putting this in air quotes controversy is
they are now saying if you're two obese, if you're
too overweight, its grounds to be disqualified from being given

(00:50):
a visa. Agree, disagree. Let's go before we go to
the phone lines. It's seven to twenty. You know what
that means. On a Wednesday, a Truth or Troll Take
it away a Mike.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
And now America's favorite game show where you get to
decide on the Kuoner Report.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
This is Truth or Tall.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Today's entry of truth Control comes from President Trump in
an interview with Fox News when he had some thoughts
he wanted to get off his chest regarding Chuck Schumer
after the government shutdown ended.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I feel badly because I've known Chuck Schumer. I knew
him when he was a person who loved Israel, and
now he's a Palestinian. He's become a Palestinian and it's amazing.
I've never seen a politician change so much. Also, he
doesn't have you know, he was a pretty talented guy.
He's lost his talent.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
So this is an interesting one because I think he
could really go either way.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Do you think he really feels bad for Chuck Schumer
or is he just trolling him? He's trolling him. I
think he's clearly no. He's doing that sarcastic Trump way.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I feel so sorry for the guy. You know, he's
lost his fastball. He's getting basically eaten alive by his
own base. Oh boy, I feel so he's all washed up.
I'm so sorry for him. I gotta say he's the
funniest president we've ever had. I mean, I love the guy.
I love his policies. But even if you hate his policies,

(02:31):
the guy's a riot. He really is that. By the way,
it was a great truth or troll.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Mike.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Let me ask the entire audience. Do you think when
Trump says that he feels bad for Chuck Schumer because
he's lost his talent? Do you think he's a telling
the truth he really feels sorry for Chucky or B
do you think he's just you know, he's needling him,
He's he's trolling the guy. I think he's trolling.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
But that's me.

Speaker 1 (03:00):

Cooner Report. Margaret in Amesbury, Thanks for holding Margaret, and.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
Welcome, Hey, thanks for having me on morning.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Good morning Margaret.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
Just a quick point because you know, it sounds like
a great idea, but as anything, when the government gets
involved and as we know, it's like, well, what's the
metric that's going to be used? So just to put
this out there, Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he was you know,
mister Wimpia was six feet two inches to forty five pounds.
That puts him in the obesity range for BMI. So

(03:48):
my question is what metric are they going to use?
And I know that we're not getting you know, bodybuilders
lining up to come in, But what metric are they
going to use?

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Well, Margaret, what I'm going to do with seven thirty
is I'm going to read the two paragraphs where they
really lay out the guidance and so and you'll, you know,
I think you'll get a real sense. But what they stress,
even in the two paragraphs is they say, look, this
is your discretion. And what they mean is not the

(04:18):
power trip. But you know, they would be like, well,
look you look at Schwarzenegger. Yeah, technically you know, he's
overweight quote unquote, the guy's all muscle. You know, this
is not mister diet. It's not walking. You know, it's
not mister diabetes. This is not a walking heart attack.
So they would say, of course you let him in,
you know. But then you have Jeff Cooner, you know,

(04:43):
and they look at me and they're like they're on defence,
you know. But then say, you know who Congressman Jerry
Nadler is. I mean, have you can you visualize who
Jerry Nadler is?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Margaret?

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Or Chris Christy?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Okay, say Jerry or Chris Christie, we're immigrants trying to
apply to come in. They'd be like, yet, no, no, no, no,
So I think, you know, using their discretion. Schwarzenegger's a yes,
I'm on the fence, Madler and Christy No, what say you?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Margaret? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (05:20):
So that makes more sense. So if it's on paper,
on paper, it's really hard to you know, for that
to translate. Where is it muscle?

Speaker 5 (05:26):
Is it fat?

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Obviously? But if it's at the discretion of a person,
you know, you know, in person making that decision, that
makes a little bit more sense.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
But I mean, just but I want.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
To ask you this. Do you care? What I'm saying
is should it be a criteria? Should the A Jerry Nadler,
A Chris Christie?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
You know? Maybe?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Hell, you know again borderline? But me, should that be
a criteria?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
What say you?

Speaker 6 (05:51):
I don't think it's an easy as yes or no,
because you know, first of all, where is the need
for employment right now? Because I know that our skilled
labor is definitely hurting right now. I need blue our
job will tell you they can't get people and people
that aren't physically able to do the requirements of as jobs.
They're not people that we need right now. But we
also need people I'm suran technology and things like that,

(06:12):
and it's as not restrictive to their job. Doesn't matter.
I don't know. I don't think it's a cut and
dry yes or no.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Interesting. Interesting. If you're a case officer, if I could
put you in a time machine twenty five years ago,
would you have let me in?

Speaker 6 (06:30):
Well, what would be your reason for coming here?

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Well?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
I mean you know that, you know I want to
work at the Washington Times. I've got certain skills that
other journalists don't have. But you're looking at me. You're
looking at my BMI, You're looking I'm pre diabetic. Does
Margaret say yes? Does Margaret say no?

Speaker 6 (06:48):
I'm going to say probably no. Jeff, I'm sorry. I
love you, but you're probably not.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh geez, I thought you'd say you'd sneak me in. Margaret,
Thank you very much for that call. Okay, remember when
I said maybe fifteen twenty minutes ago, we're the only
ones that do this. You come into our country, it
doesn't matter. You're just here on a one week vacation,
or you're on a student visa, or even on a

(07:17):
work visa, and suddenly you get sick, and we take
care of you a to Z. I mean hundreds of
thousands of dollars. It doesn't matter we take care of
you that no other country does this. Well, many of
you were texting the Coonerman saying, but Jeff, what okay? Germany, France, Britain, Denmark, Japan,
South Korea, Australia. But what about Canada, Jeff, what about Canada?

(07:42):
You know, that generous socialist country just north of us,
my ancestral homeland. Listen out of this. This is from
a friend of mine. I don't want somewhere in the Maritimes.
He's got a beautiful farm second home. He's an American,
but he, you know, spends a lot of time in
Canada on his farm in the Maritimes. I don't want

(08:04):
to say exactly which province, but in the Maritimes. So
this is what he wrote to me, Jeff. As you know,
I spend a great deal of time in Canada. They're
crappy and broken healthcare system. Notwithstanding, if I showed up
at one of their hospitals at the emergency room, for example,

(08:24):
I would not get treated unless I provided my visa
or American Express card with enough credit to cover the costs.
I know this because I had to do it once.
So even in Canada, you think they just let you

(08:47):
come in and suddenly, yeah, you can have access to
our healthcare system. No way, because it'll bankrupt the Canadian
system like you would bankrupt every other system.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
In Europe or in an Asia.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
We're the only I'm sorry, as Trump would say, We're
the only stupid people that do this. Now, this is
from seven to eight one. You can text the cooner
man seven zero four seven zero seven zero four seven zero.
Jeff Denesh Desuza often quotes one of his Indian immigrant

(09:21):
friends who once said, quote, I wanted to come to
a country where even the poor people are fat unquote. Now,
to be fair, this is what I think. Also, Americans
don't quite fully understand because of our free market system.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Now, what Lynn said earlier is true.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
There's big food, there's big sugar. There's a collusion between
them and the government, the food pyramid, where they really
put a lot of pressure and propaganda and marketing to
convey Americans to eat a lot of carbs, to eat
a lot of processed foods, to eat a lot of
junk food. And that's clearly a key reason why so

(10:07):
many Americans are obese. But there's another side to it,
which is it's how successful our free market and capitalist
system is. That we produce abundance so much so almost
too much abundance, and what we consider poor in our

(10:30):
country the legal definition of poverty, and this Indian immigrant
that Dinesh Dsuza speaks of is completely true, is considered
either middle class or wealthy in most of the world.
You know, a poor person considered poor has an apartment, heated,

(10:51):
air conditioned in the summer, flat screen television, three square
meals a day.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Often they're overweight because they got access.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Now they're eating too much macaroni and cheese and junk
food and chips. Yes, yes, yes, but they've got so
much food they're overeating. They've got access to Medicaid, which
gives you, compared to other countries, world class healthcare, so
their healthcare, even what they own, their possessions, the amount

(11:25):
of food that they eat. You know, in India, most
people are still starving. In China, most people are still starving,
believe it or not. In countries like that, being overweight
is a bit of a status symbol.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm serious.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
It's like, oh, you know a person can eat a
person's wealthy, person's well off because everybody else is poor
and hungry. I'm not making an argument for obesity. What
I'm just trying to say is part of the reason,
and we take it for granted. And remember this, when
I first came to America and Canada is are very rich,

(12:04):
or at least it was a very rich, prosperous country.
Not so much now under the crazy liberal leadership. But
even then, even as a Canadian, when I first did
my PhD coursework at Ohio University, and I was eating
every day at the cafeteria, I had a meal plan,
three meals a day. Everything was buffet, breakfast, buffet, lunch, buffet, dinner, buffet.

(12:30):
I couldn't believe how much variety of food there was,
every single meal. There's nothing like it in the world.
I mean, you want pancakes, you want eggs, you want waffles,
you want toast, you want fruit, you want yogurt, you
want bagels, cream cheese. That's breakfast, lunch, every sandwich under

(12:54):
the sun, a casserole, soup, salad.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Bar, dinner.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
I mean it was you want you know, meats, you
want pizza, you want pasta again, salad, bar, fruits, desserts.
I mean, I'm like, I've never seen something like this,
and every student just acted like, Yeah, that's just the way.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
It is.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
An incredible amount of abundance, and that comes from the
incredible wealth, and that comes from our free market, capitalist system.
I'm just calling it as it is. Six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Andy in Milford,
Thanks for holding Andy, and welcome.

Speaker 7 (13:42):
Ah, good morning, Jeff.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Andy, go ahead, my friend.

Speaker 7 (13:46):
Well, first of all, Jeff, I'd be willing to bet
a steak dinner that the moonbats this morning are probably
wishing they could get into a time machine and go
back twenty five years.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
No, that's true, Oh they say no, they'd never let
me in if they could, if they could, they would
have never let me in.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Andy.

Speaker 7 (14:13):
I mean I could just hear it now.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
But you know, Andy, you've seen Rocky obviously, right. Oh yeah, okay,
well Ady, listen, if they had that criteria twenty five
years ago, I swear to god, they wouldn't be calling
the movie Rocky. They'd be calling it Jeffrey, me working
out to make sure I gets it, you know, I
get allowed into America. You know, I gotta lose grace.

(14:42):
I gotta lose ninety pounds. I've got three months to
do it.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
I go.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
I'm gonna go the distance. If I had to lose.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
One hundred pounds, I swear to God I would lose
one hundred pounds. But anyway, Andy, please go ahead. The
floor is yours.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
Okay, just between yesterday's show and today's show, Jeff and
just came to me yesterday. One simple way to solve
all of this is to just put in place a
solid policy that makes it clear that you must be

(15:23):
an American citizen to receive public assistance of any kind,
like here in Massachusetts. I would put this log on
the fire that maybe we should start a movement to
amend the Massachusetts State Constitution to say that you must

(15:48):
be an American citizen to receive public assistance anywhere in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, state or federal, and that proof
of said citizenship must be presented upon applying.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I could not agree with you more.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I so agree what you've just identic If we could
just do that and enforce it, half the problems in
our country would disappear. I mean, that's we've got too
many leeches parasites, bloodsuckers. Who are I mean, they're they're
bleeding us white. I'm sorry, but that's just the case.

(16:28):
And Andy, you're dead on And you know, Andy, I'm
going to read the criteria, Okay, I promise when I
come back. And Andy, I just want to get almost
a yes or a no from you. Do you think
weight obesity should be a criteria when we give visas
to immigrants.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
I think it should.

Speaker 7 (16:53):
And if they're allowed in, they should have to show
that they have an ability to take care of themselves,
whether it's.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Health or a financial means that they have a bank
account with enough money. No, I hear you, Andy, as
always always a great call. Six one, seven two, six
sixty eight, sixty eight.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Is the number. Okay.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
So, as you know, the Trump administration now through the
State Department, is going to toughen up substantially the criteria.
The guidelines to allow these are. This is legal immigration now,
not illegal legal immigration regarding giving out visas to you know,
legal immigrants, travel visas, tourist visa, student visas, work visas,

(17:39):
including yes, even permanent residency green cards. So you're going
to have to be able to show that you're able
to financially sustain yourself, that you, especially if you want
to have a work visa or a permanent residency, that
you have a job, and that you have skills that
the American people need. But they also now want to
have certain health criteria medical conditions that they say, if

(18:05):
you're sick or diseased, or you're mentally ill, that this
could be a real undue burden. That's the term they
use on the American taxpayer, and that hence these people
should be rejected. So I'm going to read to you
the two paragraphs where they lay out the specific criteria. Now,
again this is at the discretion of the case officers.

(18:28):
This is all on a case by case basis. So
basically you're saying, you use your judgment, but this is
what should guide you.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Certain medical conditions, including but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases,
respiratory diseases, cancers, diabetes, metabolic diseases, neurological diseases, and mental

(18:57):
health conditions can require hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of care. And it goes on to state, quote, does
the applicant have adequate financial resources to cover the costs
of such care over his entire expected lifespan without seeking

(19:22):
public cash assistance or long term institutionalization at government expense.
And then it goes on to say that there's already
a medical exam that's mandatory if you want to have
a work visa, or if you want to have a

(19:42):
green card, or if you're a refugee coming into the
United States. But this medical examination is for like, you know,
contagious diseases, tuberculosis, whatever, COVID, you know, whatever it may be,
it's not you know, cancer, diabet And now they go

(20:02):
on to say that obesity and the fact that people
can be overweight and their BMI index, then these case
officers have to look at whether the overall impact this
will have if someone would be unlikely to be able
to pay for their own medical care due to the

(20:26):
conditions that arise from saying being overweight or obese. And
again they stress and I just want to again, this
must be addressed on a I'm just giving you the
direct quote, individual case by case basis, so you know,
they're not saying, hey, you're overweight, you're out, but they're

(20:49):
saying it's a factor and you need to look into it.
And in some cases, if you think the person is
overweight or will develop serious health issues when they arrive
and they don't have the means to take care of
themselves or pay for their own healthcare or medical costs,
then you just right, no, you know your your request
is denied. So agree disagree six one seven two sixty

(21:12):
six sixty eight sixty eight.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
I want to read to you.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
This is an un messenger from David and uh, this
is what This is what David wrote. Uh, and it
sums up what some of you are saying. Most of
you are in agreement. I'm just looking at the text line.
I'm looking at the emails I'm getting, but there is
some disagreement, and I think David speaks for many of

(21:38):
them when he says, Jeff, this.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Is fat shaming. It is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Just because someone is fat doesn't mean they are unhealthy
or have type two diabetes. So and I've heard a
couple of you say that. I mean, I've read comments
from some of you saying Jeff Trump is going to
get hammered over this because the left, the media, even

(22:05):
some Republicans are going to say you're fat shaming. Just
because you're overweight doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to
be a burden to taxpayers or to our healthcare system
six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
Let me also throw this log on the fire. Are
we too overweight as a nation? Do you believe that

(22:30):
we do have an obesity problem? Is it an epidemic?
And what do you think is the major driving cause
of it? Is it our diet? Is it the fact
that we eat overprocessed foods? Is it the fact now
that we're all on a computer. Many of us work
in you know, jobs where it's not physical. You're at

(22:51):
the office sitting down all day, then you come home,
you eat. Then usually you're in front of a TV screen,
or in front of an iPad, or in front of
a laptop. So we're just too sedentary. That we're just
too sedentary, We don't move enough, we don't exercise enough,
and over time you're just gonna have a fatter, more
overweight population. Do you think it's the sin of gluttony

(23:16):
that we just eat more because we can, and that
food is no longer eaten? You know, you eat to live,
You eat because it's pleasure. You eat because you know
it tastes good and you want to eat more of it.
You know what, what do you think is driving this

(23:36):
obesity crisis? If you believe there is one six one seven, two, six,
six sixty eight, sixty eight lines are loaded. Dave in Revere.
Thanks for holding Dave, and welcome.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Thank you all right, I'm good. How are you, Dave?

Speaker 5 (23:55):
Well, it's not sunny out today yet, but it's okay.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
As long as it's not snowing, Dave. You know to me,
for me, that's all that matters.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
Jeff, don't worry about it in December nineteenth, you may
have some because I was born in the winter, Jeff,
I was born just before Christmas. Though you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
I do love snow during Christmas. I agree with you, Dave, buddy,
What do you make of this? Should are we overwaked
as a people? Number one? And number two? Should obesity, fatness,
whatever you want to call it. Should that be a
criteria in denying visas to immigrants coming into our country?

Speaker 5 (24:41):
Jeff? I think it should be. Jeff. Let me be honest.
You know my job so with sometimes Jeff, I've gotten
people in this car the where the seatbelt doesn't fit,
and Jeff, that's how big I've had some of these
passengers that I've had to pick up. Uh. As far

(25:01):
as coming into the country, yeah, we shouldn't have any
more issues as far as people coming into the country illegally.
And Jeff, here here's what I make me called about.
How was at Bank of America a couple of weeks back. Jeff,
my money goes to Bank of America and I asked
for a small loan. Now, before you could even talk

(25:24):
to anybody, you got two illegals. Kidd, even big English
don't even know what the lady's saying. They got all
these papers in their hand. She's telling them just go
get their stiff and come back with it after the
stiff is on the paper. Whatever, whatever she needed to get,
they're gonna get it. They're gonna get it. Loan, Jeff,
whatever they want for thirty thousand dollars, because the so

(25:45):
called illegal governor is giving them thirty thousand dollars apiece. Jeff,
all I wanted was a small personal loan. I think says, no,
we don't do personal loans. I said, so a lady,
you're giving the illegals what they want because of the governor,
and they can get whatever they wanted we're the wants
who are paying for it, Jeff. Discrimination on me, Jeff,

(26:06):
I'm working seven days a week, buddy, seven days a
week without you know, very really even getting off on
a Sunday, just taking a Sunday off. But I'm working
seven days a week, Jeff, putting eighty hours a week in.
I'm paying my taxes. My money goes to bank them
a Medica. They know that I'm working, but they're not
going to give me a small loan because there's something

(26:26):
I need to do and take care of. And I
wasn't asking on those thirty thousand dollars, Jeff, and we're
didn't have to they don't have to pay it back.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Well, look, Dave, it's beyond outrageous. It's beyond disgusting. It's
what I wrote on X last night. And I hope
everybody in the audience goes at the Kooner Report. That's
my handle on my X account where I call out
the Republicans. I mean, I call out morahally and I
lay out exactly how much he's giving to the illegals.

(26:57):
But here's what I said to the Republicans, and I promise, Dave,
I'm coming right back to you. If the Republicans in
Massachusetts don't defeat Heally in the next election next year,
then I'm telling you it's time to form a third
party because she has run this state into the ground,
and in particular, and you said it, it's discrimination against

(27:20):
American citizens. She's literally discriminating against Americans in favor of illegals.
You're a thousand percent correct. They're going to get their loan,
and it's a thirty thousand dollars loan, and two people,
that's sixty thousand dollars loan. And those are high risk loans.

(27:40):
And you know who's underwriting it. We are not Bank
of America. We are because if Bank of America goes under,
as we saw in two thousand and eight two thousand
and nine, we the taxpayers bail them out because they're
quote too big to fail unquote. But you who works
seven days a week, and I'm telling you you're not
the only one in cooner country. I'm sad to say.

(28:03):
I can't tell you how many emails and texts I
get from people who work six days a week, seven
days a week. They're like you, I wish i'd have
a Sunday off, Jeff I take Christmas off, maybe New
Year's Day, fourth of July. I got four or five
days off the entire year. And when I need my
government to give me a helping hand because everything now

(28:26):
is way too expensive. Trump is completely right, not one
thousand percent. I'm telling you a million percent. He said
this yesterday to the Republicans again, are you all stupid?
We have an affordability crisis. You've got to talk about
the affordability crisis and everything that we're doing to bring

(28:47):
prices and inflation down. This all happened under Biden and
the Democrats and tell them we're doing everything we can
and here's what we're going to continue to do. Because
the American people are hurting. Everybody in the middle class,
the working class, everybody's hurting. So you need a personal
loan to probably get you out of a jam because

(29:10):
you're in debt like everybody else is in debt because
that's the only way to survive, and there's no money
for you. And Dave, I gotta say this, and I
promise I'm gonna come back to you. I hate Bank
of America. I can't stand Bank of America because about ooh,
fifteen years ago. Don't quote me on this, okay, could

(29:30):
have been maybe thirteen years ago, fifteen years ago, it's.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
About twenty ten, twenty eleven.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Ish, I need it alone to be more accurate, Grace,
and I need it alone. And we have excellent credit,
We have assets here in the United States. We work hard,
we save, and we went to Bank of America. We
asked for a loan, and like you, it wasn't that
much blank you blank you no go blank you. And

(30:02):
so they called me. They called me. I don't know
why they didn't call Grace, because Grace does she's the
finance minister. But somehow they got my number. They didn't
call her. They called me and they said, I'm sorry
rejecting you for your loan. And I said, that's okay,
that's fine, I said, but I want you to know something.
I'm going to make sure and I'm going to do
everything in my power that you guys never get another
bailout again, because you're turning down good, decent people who

(30:27):
need help. And we're good for the money. And you
know we're good for the money. And I see your
ads and watch these Bank of America ads, you know,
you see them all the time.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
We're there for.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
The little guy, the farmer, the homeowner, the you know,
the small business person.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
That's what we do at Bank of America.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
No, no, that's not what you're there to do. You
don't give a damn about us. So, oh, I don't
care for Bank of America.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
I personally, I don't do my banking at Bank of America.
I told Grace poll allar accounts out, uh, And we
got to we did end up getting along with another bank,
and I said, we're going with that bank. You treat
me right, I treat you right. So to me, Bank
of America may be the worst. I know, everybody's got
a horror story. You may disagree with me. My experience,

(31:25):
Bank of America is the worst. My advice to you, Dave,
I don't know your personal financial situation, so please take
this with a grain of salt. But if you can
get your money out of Bank of America, if this
is how they're going to treat you and put illegals
ahead of you because the government is backstopping it, and

(31:46):
if they're going to discriminate against you, you know, Dave,
if I said to you that banks are discriminating against
blacks just because they're blacks or Asians just because they're
Asians or Latinos or Jews or what. Everybody would say, Yeah,
take your money out. Boy caught him. Well, they're doing
us one up. They're discriminating against you and against us

(32:11):
because we're Americans. We're Americans. We don't get loans that
we don't get the loans that they give to the illegals,
and then some and then some. They won't give you
a ten thousand dollars loan, but they'll give a thirty

(32:31):
thousand dollars loan to any illegal. So no, no more
bailouts for you, and we take our money elsewhere. Dave agree, disagree?

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Jeff? I agree? And you don't have to tell me
which bank you have, but I would like to know.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
But Jeff, let me TD Bank, TD Bank if you
want to know. It's a TD Bank.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
Okay, Jeff, thank you. But one other thing I want
to explain to my younger brother applied for housing. He's
a veteran of the National Guy for over almost twenty
four years. He's disabled, Jeff, and he tried to apply
for housing and everything else. So he's been trying to
go find out what the status is.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Jeff.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
They tell him to get in line. The illegals are
getting it before he gets it. And if moren't for
me working, Jeff, he want to bet it for the
apartment that we have right here in Maldon. We've been
here our whole life. And they tell him to get
in line because of the illegals getting everything they want,
because of the so called illegal governor we get. And Jeff,
one other quick point last week when you had Mandonniere

(33:34):
talking about Mundonnie last week, Jeff, the guy I had
was from Bulgaria. He was eighty years old. He was
talking about the persecution going on when you were talking
about it last week. And Jeff, he says he lived
in New York for thirty years and he's so glad
he came to America. But he said he got out

(33:56):
of New York just in time because he saw this
coming down the line ten years ago and he moved
out of the yacht. He's now living here with Boston
up here.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
I don't think people realize how bad New York City
is getting. You're right, and it's becoming increasingly islamicized, and
you're starting to see sure real law, believe it or not,
pop up you are, and you're seeing militant Muslims, and
you're seeing real discrimination against Jews and against Christians on

(34:28):
the streets, and it's becoming more and more tolerated and
more and more accepted, and beyond even that. Now they're
also going after white people, and they're going after middle
working class white neighborhoods. So the writing is on the wall.
There's no question and everything. Now he's named his transition team.

(34:49):
I don't want to get too far off, but mom,
Donnie is named his transition team. He's named the people
around him. They're just as radical as he is. He's
going full speed ahead, not stopping. So you know that
that Bulgarian man is completely right if you can get
out of New York, because I'm telling you, mom, Donnie

(35:11):
is for real. This guy's not playing around. Dave, thank
you very very much for that call. Deborah in Boston.
Thanks for holding Deborah and welcome.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
Hey Jeff, Deborah.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
I haven't heard from you in a while. How are you?

Speaker 3 (35:27):
You know what's funny. I've tried to call in a
couple of times and I haven't gotten through. You're getting
too popular.

Speaker 7 (35:33):
I'll let it go to.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Your head now.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Deborah, I've got to ask you because you famously said
on the Cooner Report, I think it was a couple
of years ago, that you're over fifty, you look great
in a bikini. That's what according to what you said,
and you don't care how people feel about it. So
I got to ask you double barrel question. Are you
still looking good in a bikini? In other words, are

(35:56):
you still fit in good shape? And what do you
make of the fact now that Trump wants more people
like you who are fit and in good shape to
be given visas to come into the United States? Are
you like the idea, Deborah? Or you don't like the idea?

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Oh my god, I can't believe you remember that.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's a classic, Deborah. I'm telling you it's a classic.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Okay, Well, here's the thing, Jeff, What I really I
want people to know is actually easy. I eat beef
and eggs every single day. So there's something wrong with
our food. It's the processed food. It's all the fake crap.
It's the pestifides, the ingredients you can't pronounce, you know, people,

(36:43):
Have you ever talked to people that just take a
trip to Europe or go there for a semester. I
have a friend who went to Italy and she was
just stunned. She came back and she said, Deborah, oh
my god, I ate pizza, I ate pasta, I ate everything,
and I lost weight. Like there's something wrong with our food.

(37:03):
It's not just carbs or whatever. It's our food is toxic.
This is not normal, all these fat people.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Deborah, do you think Trump is right to make obesity
and being overweight a criteria for allowing immigrants to come
into our country or giving them visas?

Speaker 3 (37:25):
More than that, I really hope we have a moment
of reflection, so you know, our own citizens can maybe
look in the mirror and just reflect there's something crazy
about obesity. I had health problems. I don't know if
you remember that as well. I was a little bit
overweight in my twenties, and so I started going hardcore,

(37:47):
eating salad and non fat, low fat. Everything wrong, basically,
But people still believe this stuff, counting calories, exercising like crazy.
I started having epileptic seas.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
That's what happened to me.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
So I spent five years in the medical system doing
everything they told me. I was heavily medicated on anti
seizure meds.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
I was a mess, and.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Somehow I kind of stumbled on little bits of information
that they used to prescribe a high fat diet to
people having seizures, and I kind of quit my meds
cold turkey. I went into my doctor and said, I'm
not doing this anymore.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Devraa, can you do me a favor. I'm up against
a hard break. I want to come back to you.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
