Takeaways
  • The Biden administration's cozying up to Iran undermines America's pro-Israel position and national security.
  • Open border policies put the American people at risk and allow known or suspected terrorists to enter the United States.
  • The FBI has experienced politicization, particularly in upper-level management, which has eroded trust and compromised the agency's mission.
  • Structural changes, including separating the counterintelligence and criminal divisions, may be necessary to address the issues within the FBI.
  • Personal experiences of former FBI agents highlight the challenges and concerns within the agency. The FBI's experiences and operations can vary under different administrations.
  • The politicization of the FBI exists regardless of the president in office.
  • The lack of response to the January 6th events and losing an FBI agent raises concerns about priorities and support.
  • The focus on diversity should not overshadow the primary mission of putting bad people behind bars.

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.
