We know China is sending the ingredients to make fentanyl and other deadly poisons that kill our loved ones. Sara and her family have lost close friends. You probably know a family devastated by this horror as well.From the federal level to local government, officials love to give lip service to cracking down on drug trafficking but the reality is that most prefer to pretend the problem does not exist.Today, Sara is joined by Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief at TheMaineWire.com. Following up on a Department of Homeland Security memo about illegal marijuana grows in Maine, Robinson's extensive investigative reporting shows transnational criminal organizations linked to the Chinese Communist Party are buying up huge amounts of land in rural Maine.Robinson explains the maddening circle of "buck-passing," where local, state, and federal officials all insist some other agency is responsible for cracking down on this criminal activity. He also highlights evidence of human trafficking to bring in workers for these illegal drug operations.Please visit our great sponsors:HumanNhttp://americalovesbeets.comVisit http://americalovesbeets.com for your free 30-day supply of Superbeets Heart Chews and a free full size bag of Turmeric Chews.HelloFreshhttps://hellofresh.com/saracarterfreeUse code SARACARTERFREE for Free breakfast for life!Time Stamps: 0:05 China’s Massive Weed Operation4:10 Steve Robinson Joins the Sara Carter Show 7:26 Law enforcement won’t act9:53 The Chinese “playbook”12:23 Jurisdictional mess 14:24 Are they on the Chinese payroll?16:26 Who is the middleman?18:40 Left holding the bag20:05 Are these illegals?21:23 The timeline of these farms24:38 Anti-social behavior25:15 Show close Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
