Setting up partner. This ain't no cattle drive. We're driving
at the truth, chasing that sunset painted red, white and blue.
American Ground Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We choose to.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Go to the moon and do the other thing, not
because they are easy, but because.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
They are on.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
It is time for us to realize that we're too
great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I have a dream, but one day this nation will
rise up, live out the true meaning of its trees.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
American Ground Radio with Lewis r Abaloney and Stephen park Bo.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
This this is American Ground Radio. Stephen pov of Lewis.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Now, you may or may not have seen the headlines.
Uh huh, because the mainstream media certainly isn't going to
be very eager to scream this from the rooftops. But
here's the truth. Okay, the truth is out there and
it is this.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Are we watching the X files? You just said the
truth is out there? What are we talking about? There's aliens?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, the truth. The truth of the matter is the
Democrat Party is hemorrhaging support. There is no end in sight.
It's not just a figure of speech that I'm using here.
It's the cold hard data. So the new York Times. Yes,
even the Great Lady couldn't hide this. The New York
Times ran an analysis of voter registrations nationwide, and the
(01:43):
findings are staggering, historic earth shattering.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Wait wait, you're telling me you didn't expect this.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Not to this extent. Really, No, I really didn't. I mean,
but for the first time since twenty eighteen. Yeah, more
new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats. Let
me say that again, more people are choosing to become
Republicans than Democrats.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
You say for the first time since twenty eighteen. No,
I think it's that the data was from twenty eighteen
until now more Republicans have chosen to more people chosen
to become Republicans than Democrats. Well, no, because Republicans are
beating Democrats in new voter registration for several years now.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I know, not that many, at least since twenty now,
not that many years. But the folks that are fueling
this surge are men, younger voters, right, Latinos, the very
groups that Democrats once smugly assumed they had locked in forever.
And you know why. You know why? It's because of
(02:45):
Donald J. Trump. I know a lot. I've a lot
of folks listening right now, like, Oh, I think he's
a big part. Credit to President Trump. Everybody gives credit
to him. He's just worship before the altar of Trump.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
No, he is absolutely deserving of credit for bringing it,
especially blue collar voters into the Republican Party. I think
there's a carrot. There's a push and a pull type
of a thing. So Donald Trump, I think some of
his policies are pulling people into the Republican Party. But
I think the Democrat Party's policies are pushing people out
of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I think you're absolutely right there. But there's a swing
toward the Republican Party. And over the last four years,
it adds up to four point five million new voters.
That's not just a gap. That is a political hole
that is so deep that Democrats may need a generation
to dig out of it. It's if they ever do.
(03:37):
It's a drop of.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Two point one million of fewer Democrats and an increase
of two point four million Republicans. That's how you get
that net change of four point five million voters. And
now there's another there's another caveat of us. This only
includes the thirty states where voter registration is where party
registration includes is included in the voter register tally. In
(04:01):
states like Texas, you don't register with a party. So
who knows how many more Republicans or Democrats there are
in the state of Texas because that's not there. But
Texas is the second largest state in the country. When
you're seeing massive increases in Republicans in Florida, why wouldn't
you think you know what, I think there's probably massive
(04:22):
increases of Republicans in Texas, but the increase of Republicans
in Texas would not be included in this data from
the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah. Absolutely, Okay, So I want to talk directly to
the Democrats who are listening. So for all you conservatives,
for all you conservatives listening, just a moment, let me
have a conversation. Let me have a word with those
Democrat listeners right now. Okay, So, for you Democrat listeners,
maybe you're loyal, maybe your family has voted Democrat for generations. Okay,
(04:53):
maybe you think Republicans don't represent you. But I have
to ask you this, why are you still a Democrat?
I mean, what resonates with you about this? Party anymore?
Do you like paying more for gas? Do you like
feeling less safe in your neighborhoods because prosecutors refuse to
put criminals behind bars? I mean, did you like the
(05:15):
chaos at the border, the fentanyl crisis, the strain on
our schools, our public school system, are hospitals? Tell me,
just tell me, please, what part of your daily life
is made better because of Democrat policies. Because look, the
truth is, the issues that are most important to everyday Americans, safety, jobs, opportunity, freedom,
(05:41):
those are not the issues that the Democrat Party cares about.
The Democrat Party still talking to you, folks on the
Democrat side of things. They've abandoned you. They've traded your
concerns for ideology. So I have to ask you again,
It's the last time i'd ask you during this show.
(06:02):
Why are you still a Democrat?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
So I think there are a couple of reasons why
people are still Democrats. One, there's about a third of
the country that absolutely believes everything the Democrat Party stands for.
They believe that you can change your sex just by
deciding you are a different sex. They believe we should
be teaching kids that they can change their sex. They
believe that billionaires have dominated our politics for too long.
(06:27):
They believe that capitalism is bad now. I think some
of that's because they are poorly educated. When you get
people on the left saying, you know, queers for Palestine,
you have not done your homework. You do not understand
that if you went to Palestine you would be stoned
to death or thrown from the top of whatever building
(06:48):
is still standing in Palestine right now. So there's a
lack of understanding. As Ronald Reagan said, it's not that
they it's not that they're ignorant. It's just that so
much of what they know just as and so I
think there's a lot of that's still in the list.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But they care about climate change, okay.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
So that's another point. They believe in climate change one
and the man made climate change, which is not true.
It's not a fact. It has been disproven.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Okay, But climate change policies jack up energy prices for everyone.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
That's right. But see, they're willing to do that because
they think the planet's about to end. It's not. So
they believe in the Democrat Party ideals out of knowing
the wrong things. They know in their minds that humans
are causing the change in climate across the planet. No,
we aren't.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's like during the Biden administration, you know, the Democrats,
they cared so much, and during the Obama during Obama
and both Biden administration administrations, you know, they cared so
much about gender pronouns in schools. And yet you have
parents that are struggling to afford groceries because of skyrocketing inflation.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
In Loudun County, Virginia, we had three boys that just
got thrown out of school because a girl came into
their locker room and they said, what are you doing here? Now?
These are boys changing clothes in high school, boys trying
to change clothes. A girl comes into their locker. They're like, wait,
why is a girl allowed in our locker? And the
and the girl then started filming the boys on her phone,
(08:18):
which is a violation of district policy in Louden County.
And yet it's the boys who have gotten kicked out
of school because Democrats run Louding County schools.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And look, yeah, we can certainly be excited about the
fact that folks are folks are rejecting the Democrat Party,
the nonsense, and yes, that's wonderful, and yes, that's beautiful.
But I think more importantly, it means that America is
realigning that the silent majority isn't silent anymore. They're registering
(08:52):
as Republican, they're voting Republican, and they're standing up and
they're saying enough is enough.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
And we could see the biggest drop in any party
since the Federalist Party back in eighteen oh four. Let's
get to the top of the things you need to
know before tomorrow. Before all, President Trump is sending three
(09:21):
US naval destroyers to Venezuela. The ships will remain in
international waters, and our charge was stopping illegal drug shipments
from South America to the USA. Along with the destroyers,
the President has added four thousand combat troops as part
of the deployment. This comes just week after the US
government placed a fifty million dollar bounty on the head
of Nicholas Maduro, the dictator of Venezuela, for his alleged
role in the drug trade to the USA.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You know, it's amazing what shining a little light in
some of the darkest corners of this world will do. Right,
It's kind of like when you turn the light on
in the kitchen in the middle of the night and
you see a roach or roaches and they just scatter. Right,
that's what's going on. We're realigning this this world that
we live in.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Second thing, you need no more for tomorrow. EPA administrator
Leeve Zelden announced he's canceling more than twenty nine billion
dollars in federal grants. The grants were mostly issued in
the final days of the presence of Biden administration, after
President Trump had been re elected but before he took office.
That twenty nine billion dollars is nearly three times the
annual operating budget of the EPA. Most of the money
(10:22):
came from the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, which was really
the Green New Deal in disguise. Zelden says the way
the grants were issued involved corruption and conflicts of interest.
He told Fox News is Brett Behar and if the
argument is going to be made that a dollar should
get spent to remediate an environmental issue, then spend it
on remediating an environmental issue. Instead, they're giving it to
(10:44):
their friends, former Biden and Obama officials and Democratic donors.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Well Stacey Abrams, who ran for governor of Georgia great example,
she ran some sort of nonprofit which she had just
called nonprofit.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
She had just formed it, and they gave her a
billion dollars. Never managed two million with that nonprofit.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
She I mean, I don't even know that she can
balance her check book.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
And the third thing you need to be for in
a while. Bed Bath and Beyond announced this week they
will not be reopening any stores in the state of California.
Marcus Lamonas, the executive chairman of bed Bath and Beyond, wrote,
this decision isn't about politics, It's about reality. California has
created one of the most over regulated, expensive and risky
environments for businesses in America. It's a system that makes
it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open,
(11:28):
and harder to deliver values to customers. Lamona said they
will be able to serve customers in California better by
online orders, which would arrive either same day or up
to forty eight hours later. Governor Gavin Newsom responded by
saying he didn't think bed Bath and Beyond still existed.
The company is in the process of reopening seventy five
locations nationwide.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I know that that's just shameful, but you know, at
the same time with so many Californians leaving California, right,
I mean, there's plenty of business to be had throughout
the country.

Working to ensure that talk radio of the people, by
the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avaloni and Stephen Parr.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen parvar Lewis are Avaloni.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I think sometimes we yearn for nostalgi I don't know,
themes or the way folks used to be, the way
business used to be done, the way sure parents used
to parent, the way children used to be respectful. Yeah,
why is that? Why why do we clean? You know,
(13:53):
because a lot of folks say, well, you know, there's
a lot of bad things in the past. You know,
there was slavery. I mean, you know, do you want
to clean to not lifetime?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
There hasn't been slavery in this time. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Why do you think we we reminisced so much, you know,
you know what I'm saying. Like, for example, I mean
because Coca Cola is a great example going back. You know,
we liked the way coke tasted, We liked everything about coke,
and and the folks a Coca Cola came up with
the idea we're going to change all of that, and
(14:23):
we didn't like that. We didn't like that as a country,
well because the new taste was awful, okay, but but
there was something nostalgic, right, nostalgic because the new one
was crap, like good, what's illustrated? For example, having dudes
on there on the cover of the swimsuit edition. I mean,
there's just something wrong with that.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's not dud.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Okay, I know that's kind of perverted. But my point is,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
What no, you've made You've made the point that sometimes
we're nostalgic because things back then didn't suck like they
do sometimes now.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Okay, So so why am I I don't eat it?
Cracker Barrel a lot?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I mean it's very infrequent, but I like Cracker Barrel.
But there's They've had the same logo, right for forty
seven years, and now this woke CEO of Cracker Barrel
has decided to do away with that. Oh a new logo,
just a complete they get rid of. There was a guy.
It was an image the logo of well, it's a
(15:28):
man sitting on a chair leaning against a barrel, right,
and it told a story. Sure, it evoked a time
of hospitality, of simpler days of tradition. And now the
guy is gone, the guy, the rocking chair, the barrel.
It's just the only thing left is the name Cracker Barrel.
(15:49):
And my question is why do I give a rip
about that? Why should anyone give a rip about that?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yeah, I don't know. I think it's more offensive that
we took the Indian off the land of Lakes Butter,
because it's like we took the Indian and Jemima. We
sent the Indian away and we kept the land. I'm like,
that's that's kind of the whole complaint of Native America.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Just saying sometimes when we think about, you know, yesteryear,
I mean, we're doing more than just I mean.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
But it depends upon what you're doing, what you're reminiscing about,
and why the change was made. We got a question
for American mamas. Dear mama, is how long until you
overstay you're welcome?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well, let's ask America and Mama's.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Mama Mama.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Enjoining us now are American Mama's tern Needeville and Kimberly Burlison.
Oh so sad you guys got to go. Thank you
so much for enjoyed it. Okay, so how long until
you've overstayed your and y'all could never overstay You're welcome?
Here On American Ground Radio we love you guys.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Oh thank goodness to this is like an actual topic
in our house right now. Really, yes, this is a topic.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
You have a house guest.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Well, when people came, I'm like, please just stay for
a long weekend, please, Okay, I just want a long weekend.
Three days, three three days maybe four three four tops.
That's it, you know, because the rule of thumb is
you want people to be, you know, sad that you're
leaving and wishing you had stay longer, sure, and not
relieve that you're leaving. Okay, So we're going to Portland.
(17:28):
And my husband's brother lives in Portland. Okay, it's going
to be his birthday. So my husband, because it's his brother,
he wants to go for a week, all right, And
I said, we're not doing that. I said I won't go,
and he's like, you won't go, and I'm like, not
if you're going for a week. I said, I'll go
for a long weekend. But that's as long as I'm
going because but this is my brother. I said, no,
(17:48):
I'm telling you, his wife doesn't want us there for
more than a long weekend, trust me.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Okay, But is it possible that other people have a
different determination.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
It's not it's not possible.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
It's not possible. It's not possible.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Well, it depends on if it's family or if it's friends. Okay,
let's just say it like that. Like I remember, and
this is probably why when we were growing up, if
we were allowed to spend the night with somebody, they
would take us at five the night with Friday night
and they would pick us up by ten Saturday.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Morning, and am that was it?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That was it?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
And I always like, oh, we were you know, we
were just getting started, and Nope, that's the deal. Well
then you become a parent and you're like, what a
gift that was, because usually if a kid stays, it
will be all day and then they might stay that
night another night on the weekends. I had this happen
all the time. But I also remember we were when
we lived Inssissippi. I was in seventh grade, you were
in the eighth grade. Raleigh Walker and his family came
(18:45):
and stayed with us. They were coming in and they
were going on to Florida for the beach. Well, they
got there the night before. Mom put on a big meal.
We had a great time. We had fun with the
kids and then we all had big pilet palettes on
the floor in the living room. The next morning we
woke up, they were gone, and I was like, oh wait,
we're Scott Matt and where's everybody. My dad said, that's
(19:09):
the way to do it. That's the way to do it.
So that's what we did if we needed a landover.
You know, it's like you don't want them to feel
like they have to get up and make big breakfast
and they can say, oh, we wish I would have stayed.
Are the best guests, But inside it's like when when
Kimberly and I went to New York just for a visit.
We stayed with our cousin Rachel, and how many days,
like three or four, I don't know, and we were
(19:31):
never there. We we we had a mission first of all,
so we were there on a mission. But we saw
every single site everything we wanted to see. And Rachel's
husband was like, they're the best guests we have ever had.
We weren't there.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We took them up.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Yeah, then we were. We were went to bed that
we were not there. They're working too, We're.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Trying to stay out of the way, and we were
enjoying ourselves. Too, So that was a free you know,
free board for the time that we were there. So
we didn't want to and we didn't want to interfere
in the time. But I just think that if you leave,
like Kimberly said, it's kind of like at a party,
if you leave the party at a place where people
are like, oh man, I wish they didn't have to
leave so early. That was so fun. We got to
(20:12):
have them back rather than be the person where they're
flicking the light on and off, like, let's everybody, Hey,
we got to go to bed. You know, there's just
you have to.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
Be aware of you remember me sharing that friend that
I used to have that I dropped like a sand bag.
Remember that one worst guess I ever had. So when
we lived in Utah, you would not believe the number
of people that want to come to your home because
they want to ski. Sure, so I'm talking weeks at
a time, We're having constant guests. We were not wealthy,
we were just in our twenties, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Just flight to baby.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
So that's a lot that's very costly to have people
come to your home for a week at a time,
all the time in the winter, and to me, I
thought if people would come just for a long weekend.
But then say, I know you got a job to do.
You got work to do, you do your thing. We
just needed a place to stay all day every day.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
I can do that.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
But they want you to entertain them.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
No, no, only certain certain people, but that one brand
a drop like a sandbag. Were complained to me. You
fit into people's lifestyle if they wake up that you
wake up fit into their lifestyle.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Right, No, I get that absolutely, and I try and
do that when I when I travel somewhere new, I
want to fit into the culture that's that's there. And
households have their own cultures. So yeah, you do want
to try and fit in. And if you don't like
their culture, don't stay there next.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Time exactly for five days exactly. So when you and
Wendy come to my house.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Weekend, tops, I'm delightful. People want me stay way past
everyone everyone else going. They're like that guy. Okay, uh,
well we're out of time. If you'd like to ask
our American mama is a question, good to our website

r Avaloni and Stephen Parr, working to ensure that talk
radio of the people, by the people, for the people
(22:36):
shall not perish from the earth. American Ground Radio with
Lewis our Avaloni and Stephen Parr.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Lewis.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Back to this subject of Cracker Barrel. You know it
dropped its man in the Barrel logo, right, it's an
image that it stood for nearly half a century.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
They basically kept the same colors yellow on the bronze,
the script.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
But before Cracker Barrel, that was Angelima. There was Uncle Ben, right,
there was the Native American woman on the land of
Lake's Butter. I mean they weren't offensive, they weren't racist,
they were American icons.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Well, the Washington Redskins logo they got rid of that
and now it's just a w.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But see here's the thing. And I want to get
back to this point why we cling to tradition, Conservatives
in particular, we cling to tradition because not because we're
stuck in the past, but because we understand something very
I think it's because we understand something very deep, very human,
and that is that traditions. You know, it's kind of
like the scaffolding that holds up civilization. It's not arbitrary,
(23:53):
it's the result of centuries of trial and error.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
I think it depends upon the tradition, the tradition of
hazing and fraternities that needs to go the heck away.
We need to end that. That is an awful tradition
that has led to the death of numerous students across
the country.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I mean, there's bad traditions. Certainly those gotta go away.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
It's not just that we are nostalgic because we're holding
on to tradition. It's that some of these new things
are are awful. Just getting rid of the Washington Redskins
saying it is racist, when the family of the guy
who the logo was based on is saying, no, that
was our ancestor, that was our relative. Why are you
(24:33):
taking away his right and his honor, the family of Jemima,
They're like, we were honored to be in the kitchen,
not just of black people, but also of white people.
That they liked her name on the syrup, Uncle Ben's rice.
It's not that the changes, it's not that the changes
that they made made anything better.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
But see, I think part of it too at the
heart of it, because you look at the left and
left they hate the past, they hate tradition, They don't
see history as a source of wisdom.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
And I think there's a lot of trauma there, a
lot of personal trauma that they then graft onto society
as a whole.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
But I think there's something even more sinister. Is that
when you destroy traditions, when you erase symbols, when you
I mean, what you're actually doing is you're creating confusion,
and confusion breeds dependency, right, because I guess what the
dependency is the left's currency.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
They're trying to create a tabula rossa basically a blank
slate where you can write anything on the whole future.
You can write on it, Yes, but if you're rejecting
actual wisdom, if you're rejecting things that are tried and true,
simply because they offend you, because you've bought into a
brand new ideology that didn't used to exist. Well, that's
(25:45):
not necessarily a good thing either. Yes, there are some
things in our past that needed to be eliminated. Slavery
needed to be eliminated. Uncle Ben did not.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, and again we don't as conservatives, we don't cling
to traditions, know, because we want to stay rooted in
the past.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
It's because those traditions, for the most part, were better
than the nonsense you're coming up with today. Let's dig deep,
going down, down, down, Lewis, what is it with Democrats
and mortgage fraud?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I don't know. Well, I think part of it is
any kind of fraud dealing with Democrats. They don't think
they'll get caught, Okay, but they're above the law. But
there's been a rash of mortgage fraud indictments. So you've
got first New York Attorney General Letitia James. She claimed
to have property a primary residence in both New York
State and in Virginia. It is illegal to claim multiple
(26:45):
states as your primary residents. But the records that show
that she has been doing that, that she did that,
those records have been released. Then it was California Senator
Adam Schiff. Exact same thing, just different states. He declared
a primary in both his small little condo in California
and in his mansion in Maryland. He said, both of
(27:05):
those are primary residents. Now it also appears that a
member of the Federal Reserve Board Federal has done the
same thing. The Federal Housing Director Bill Poulti sent an
official criminal referral to the Department of Justice against Lisa Cook.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Cook was named to the Federal Reserve Board by President
Joe Biden. This is from zero Hedges dot com. Cook
was nominated to the FED by President Joe Biden and
took office in twenty twenty two, becoming the first black
woman to serve on the Fed's Board of Governors. She
was later nominated by Biden for a full term, which
expires in twenty thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
All Right, you know, I just a side note here.
I wish we could and I know I'm not ban it,
but I just cringe every time someone says this is
the first Asian American, this is this first African American
in terms of some position. Well, that's fine, a Brican
American woman from the South, but that's fine to say that.
(28:03):
That's fine to say that, but that shouldn't be what
you lead with. You should be talking about their education, qualifications,
their competence, their experience. And then oh, by the way,
this is the first African American woman to hold this
position ever.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Okay, but do they do that with this is the
first Swiss American person to do that. No, no, they don't.
All right now, so what is she exactly accused of doing? Well,
here's an excerpt from the actual criminal referral. You can
go read this online as well. According to mortgage documents
obtained by US Federal Housing, it appears an individual, miss
(28:40):
Lisa Dnell Cook, has falsified bank documents and property records
to acquire more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud
under the criminal statute. This has included falsifying residence statuses
for an an Armor, Michigan based residence and an Atlanta,
Georgia based property in order to potentially secure lower interest
(29:01):
rates and more favorable loan terms. Poultice says that Cook
got a mortgage on her home in ann Arbor, Michigan,
on June eighteenth, twenty twenty one, and then she said
on that day that's her primary residence and it would
be her primary residence for at least the next year.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
And remind me who is this lady. She's a member
of the Reserve Board. Okay, so her job is to
help decide what interest rates are for everybody else in the.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
United States of America. Okay, So she says, ann Arbor,
that's my home. This is my permanent residence, is going
to be my permanent residence for a year. Two weeks later,
she signed on a condominium in Atlanta, and in that
mortgage paperwork she said that was her primary residence. She
changed her mind for the next but she can't her mind.
(29:45):
You can't do that because you say in the mortgage document,
as you're getting that favorable rate in ann Arbor, you're
going to be there for a year. And then two
weeks later she says, no, I'm going to be in
Atlanta for a year. But she never told the bank
in ann Arbor, actually I'm not going to either for
a year. You need to change my mortgage.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And I'm presuming she's a Democrat. She's a Democrat, okay.
And see this is the thing you say, why so
many Democrats are in so many issues or having so
many issues with mortgages.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Yeah, the exact same thing, claiming primary residence is in.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Multiple states, because it's just another example of how you
get something for nothing. And for Democrats, it's about gaming
the system. And I know a lot of folks say, oh,
that's painting it with a very broad brush, but is it.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Well, see the next year ms Cook then listed that
Atlanta condo for rent. That's another form of mortgage fraud.
When you tell a bank property that property is your
primary residence and then you decide you're going to rent
it out, you have to then tell the bank your
situation has changed because they will likely charge you a
higher rate since they will now incur more risk.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
And by the way, it's also this mentality that you know, well,
it's the banks, the big banks. You know, they've got
plenty of theaye. I mean, you know, who am I
really hurting here?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Okay, But here's the hypocrisy of all this. Latisha James
prosecuted Donald Trump for defrauds and the bank said, we
weren't actually defrauded, and at the same time, it appears
she was defrauding banks in multiple states. Adam Shiff said
he's got evidence of Donald Trump's corruption, and yet at
the same time he was behaving in corrupt behavior in
(31:14):
two states across the coast, especially when he says he's
representing California, but he has a small little condo there.
He lives actually in Maryland in a mansion. And then
now one of the people responsible setting interest rates in
America appears to have lied on her mortgage paperwork in
an effort to get a lower interest rate. It's not
just fraud, that's outright hypocrisy. The interesting thing is Donald
(31:35):
Trump could fire her for cause, and if he does,
then he could replace her, which means he would be
able to have much more control over the Federal Reserve
Board within weeks.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, no, Democrats don't think the rules apply to them.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
It's gotta stop. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
You're listening to American Ground Radio.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Power, lewisar Avalon.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
So James Comy, the former FBI director, Yes, who turned
against that agency? Well, he turned against it. He corrupted it. Yeah, absolutely,
he turned it into a political weapon.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Well, now he's out there telling people that he is
inspired by Taylor Swift. Okay, Taylor Swift. According to James Comy,
the former director, The former FBI director, huh says, the
pop star Taylor Swift inspires him to stand up to bullies.
(33:55):
Can you believe this? Here's the guy that walked around Washington, DC,
one of the most powerful men in the country.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Right, he was the one who actually perpetuated the whole
Russia collusion hoax so that he could take down the
Trump presidency before it ever began. I mean, and so
he's calling Donald Trump a bully when what he was
actually doing was this is laughable. But here's the thing.
Taylor Swift's story really is an inspirational story. She came
(34:25):
from nothing, she rose up, became a pop star. She
was but she was used and appresed.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
No, no, not like the American dream.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
There are only a handful of stories to the level
of success of Taylor Swift in American history, and it
is a testament to America that she's done this. But
part of what it was was the the the music
machine basically took her rights, took her music, and they
were making money off it. And then she came back
and actually took control over it. She was able to
(34:54):
do something for herself that the Beatles weren't able to
do for themselves.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You have taken this to a extraordinary level. No that
James Comy has never even considered. He's thinking about just
saying for people, I'm saying for mean girls. Okay, I
get it about mean girls and talking about and so
who is he talking to saying that Taylor Swift? It
inspires him to stand up to bullies.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
He's talking to Donald Trump. I mean, he's trying to
play politics with Taylor Swift. I'm just saying, if you
take the politics out of it and you just look
at her story, her story is inspiring. It's an American
dream story.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
And I don't want to take anything from her. I'm
just saying this, it's a little ridiculous. Here is a guy.
Remember he was the guy that came across those shells
on the beach that said eighty six forty seven, right,
And it wasn't just once what he did it twice, right.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
And so for James call me to consider himself a victim,
that's the ridiculousness. He was the head of the FBI.
He weaponized the FBI his local purposes. He is threatened
to kill the United States president with that eighty six
forty seven. That's a right against the sitting president. And
you think you're the victim.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I mean, you lord, have mercy. I mean, he's so
desperate to be seen as the hero.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
I mean, so he's trying to glom onto Taylor Swift's celebrity,
and that's also a little sad weird. Let's get to
a bright spot.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I'm doing all right, getting good grace just so right.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
So Tolci Gabber, the Director of National Intelligence, is making
some good moves, moves that I think are bright spots. First,
last night, she revoked the security clearances of thirty seven
current and former intelligence officers. I read through the list.
I don't think most Americans are going to know any
of the names of the people on the list, But
she wrote, being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege,
not a right. Those in the intelligence community who betray
(36:49):
their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests
ahead of the interests of the American people have broken
the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so,
they undermine our national security, the safety and security of
the American people, and the foundational principles of our democratic republic.
She also said that the people involved abuse the public
trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization,
(37:12):
and or committing intentional egregious violations of trade craft standards.
By the way, we're talking about James Coy. James Commey
did all those things. He's already had consequences for that,
but there's more that needs to come. I do think
this is a bright spot. There were people in the
intelligence agencies who were manipulating data, leaking classified and information,
and lying to the American people for political purposes. Not
(37:34):
only should they have their security clearances revoked, frankly, they
should all be in jail.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yes, yeah, absolutely, And I think really what we're talking
about here is the deep state, absolutely, and a lot
of folks I don't think fully appreciate exactly how cancer is.
That is not Jake.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
You have non elected people, anonymous people almost who think
they are the government. They think they are the holders
of power, and they don't do what they're supposed to do.
They do what they want to do so that they
can keep their own power.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Well, and you know, it's kind of like the Biden administration.
It wasn't necessarily that these people wanted to do X,
Y and z. They were being controlled, they were being manipulated.
All the folks are around.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
I know the people in the Biden administration absolutely wanted
to do what they were doing. They a deep state
wanted to do what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
No, absolutely, but they use they used the lack of
anyone in control, the lack of the president in the
White House, the.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Vegetable in chief that they used the fact that he
wasn't actually in control for their their aims. Now, Gabbart
is not just stopping with revoking security clearances. This from
real clear politics. Gabbard will launch a campaign to dramatically
overhaul the entire agency by returning it to its original
purpose and thereby preserving its future. According to senior officials
(39:06):
who assisted in the review, the plan includes cutting the
workforce by forty percent. So she's cutting the size of
the intelligent community by forty percent. I think that's a
good sared. She just says the payroll will shrink to
around oney three hundred down for more than two thousand
employees when Gabbard took over, annual savings of seven hundred
million are expected.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
No, the deep state is definitely being drained. This is
a great story in furtherance of that, right. I mean,
it's not fast enough, it's not completely yet, but it
is happening.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
But when you're trying to take on the intelligence apparatus.
You have to do it meticulously, you have to do
it seriously, and you have to do it carefully. Otherwise
they will fabricate lies about you to try and get
you back at you, just like they did with Donald
Trump and Russia Gate.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Well, you have to expose them, you have to fire them.
Then you've got to replace them with people who believe
in America. First.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
I don't think you have to replace all of them.
That also would be a bright spot.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
You are listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Povard Lewis sar Avalonia.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
You know, you scoff at me many times when I
say that as a society we need to be making
more babies. Scoff you do a little bit. You're like,
you know, I'm well, nevertheless, it's just.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
It's maybe not the way I would put it, but okay,
that's fine, okay.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
But at the same time, I know a lot of
folks say, well, you know, kids are so expensive.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
They are.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
That's why, you know, maybe folks aren't making as many
babies today as they were.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
It's part of why people postpone. It's one of the
reasons why people postpone having children.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
And sometimes folks say, well, I'm going to wait later
in life because to get married and then to have
a child.
Speaker 5 (40:53):
Focused on their career first. You have a lot of
especially women that are that are doing that, folks on
career first, and then that ends up putting.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
But you know what, you know what, maybe it's neither
of those things. Maybe it's not the babies are too
are too expensive, or that you're putting it off for
your career, that's all part of it. Maybe maybe you're
not doing something very fundamental that would necessarily lead to
making babies in the first place. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
No sex at all in the last year. Is Kit's
off on the side laughing it.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
Up back in the No what I'm doing I'm not laughing.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
She's doing something, sure, she's not even sure.
Speaker 7 (41:26):
I'm blushing on all of the makeup.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Is the blushing?
Speaker 5 (41:28):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
And the nineteen nineties, among all adults, no sex at
all in the last year was eighteen percent and twenty
twenty four. Look at that no sex at all up
again ten points. Look at here those eighteen to twenty one.
Look at that twenty four percent of the nineteen hundred
and nineties. It's the younger folks who are getting up sex.
Look at that percentage, double doubled.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
No, okay, But those are also the people who are
less likely to be married. So we've cut down on
out of wedlock and that's good. That's a good thing.
And we're just saying whoa.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
When I say whoa, ah, I mean whoa.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
Republican Congressman Derek van Orden was driving with his wife
Sarah on I thirty five in Iowa over the weekend
when traffic slowed down due to an eighteen wheeler pulled
over on the side of the road. That's when he
saw a mini van crash at high speed, with parts
of the van flying off. He turned his car around
to see if he could help it. On the passenger
side of the minivan was an eleven year old boy
who was badly wounded. The child had muscle ripped off
(42:26):
his calf, he had an arterial bleed from his wrist.
Congressman Van Orden, a Navy seal, knew he only had
a few minutes to save the boy's life or he
would bleed out, so he took his own socks and
started using them to form tourniquets to stop the bleeding.
The boy was taken to a hospital and is now recovering.
Some members of the media congratulate him. He just said,
there are other people they are helping too.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
What a great story.
Speaker 5 (42:47):
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
What
Setting up partner. This ain't no cattle drive. We're driving
at the truth, chasing that sunset painted red, white and blue.
American Ground Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We choose to.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Go to the moon and do the other thing, not
because they are easy, but because.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
They are on.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
It is time for us to realize that we're too
great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I have a dream, but one day this nation will
rise up, live out the true meaning of its trees.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
American Ground Radio with Lewis r Abaloney and Stephen park Bo.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
This this is American Ground Radio. Stephen pov of Lewis.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Now, you may or may not have seen the headlines.
Uh huh, because the mainstream media certainly isn't going to
be very eager to scream this from the rooftops. But
here's the truth. Okay, the truth is out there and
it is this.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Are we watching the X files? You just said the
truth is out there? What are we talking about? There's aliens?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, the truth. The truth of the matter is the
Democrat Party is hemorrhaging support. There is no end in sight.
It's not just a figure of speech that I'm using here.
It's the cold hard data. So the new York Times. Yes,
even the Great Lady couldn't hide this. The New York
Times ran an analysis of voter registrations nationwide, and the
(01:43):
findings are staggering, historic earth shattering.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Wait wait, you're telling me you didn't expect this.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Not to this extent. Really, No, I really didn't. I mean,
but for the first time since twenty eighteen. Yeah, more
new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats. Let
me say that again, more people are choosing to become
Republicans than Democrats.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
You say for the first time since twenty eighteen. No,
I think it's that the data was from twenty eighteen
until now more Republicans have chosen to more people chosen
to become Republicans than Democrats. Well, no, because Republicans are
beating Democrats in new voter registration for several years now.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I know, not that many, at least since twenty now,
not that many years. But the folks that are fueling
this surge are men, younger voters, right, Latinos, the very
groups that Democrats once smugly assumed they had locked in forever.
And you know why. You know why? It's because of
(02:45):
Donald J. Trump. I know a lot. I've a lot
of folks listening right now, like, Oh, I think he's
a big part. Credit to President Trump. Everybody gives credit
to him. He's just worship before the altar of Trump.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
No, he is absolutely deserving of credit for bringing it,
especially blue collar voters into the Republican Party. I think
there's a carrot. There's a push and a pull type
of a thing. So Donald Trump, I think some of
his policies are pulling people into the Republican Party. But
I think the Democrat Party's policies are pushing people out
of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I think you're absolutely right there. But there's a swing
toward the Republican Party. And over the last four years,
it adds up to four point five million new voters.
That's not just a gap. That is a political hole
that is so deep that Democrats may need a generation
to dig out of it. It's if they ever do.
(03:37):
It's a drop of.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Two point one million of fewer Democrats and an increase
of two point four million Republicans. That's how you get
that net change of four point five million voters. And
now there's another there's another caveat of us. This only
includes the thirty states where voter registration is where party
registration includes is included in the voter register tally. In
(04:01):
states like Texas, you don't register with a party. So
who knows how many more Republicans or Democrats there are
in the state of Texas because that's not there. But
Texas is the second largest state in the country. When
you're seeing massive increases in Republicans in Florida, why wouldn't
you think you know what, I think there's probably massive
(04:22):
increases of Republicans in Texas, but the increase of Republicans
in Texas would not be included in this data from
the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah. Absolutely, Okay, So I want to talk directly to
the Democrats who are listening. So for all you conservatives,
for all you conservatives listening, just a moment, let me
have a conversation. Let me have a word with those
Democrat listeners right now. Okay, So, for you Democrat listeners,
maybe you're loyal, maybe your family has voted Democrat for generations. Okay,
(04:53):
maybe you think Republicans don't represent you. But I have
to ask you this, why are you still a Democrat?
I mean, what resonates with you about this? Party anymore?
Do you like paying more for gas? Do you like
feeling less safe in your neighborhoods because prosecutors refuse to
put criminals behind bars? I mean, did you like the
(05:15):
chaos at the border, the fentanyl crisis, the strain on
our schools, our public school system, are hospitals? Tell me,
just tell me, please, what part of your daily life
is made better because of Democrat policies. Because look, the
truth is, the issues that are most important to everyday Americans, safety, jobs, opportunity, freedom,
(05:41):
those are not the issues that the Democrat Party cares about.
The Democrat Party still talking to you, folks on the
Democrat side of things. They've abandoned you. They've traded your
concerns for ideology. So I have to ask you again,
It's the last time i'd ask you during this show.
(06:02):
Why are you still a Democrat?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
So I think there are a couple of reasons why
people are still Democrats. One, there's about a third of
the country that absolutely believes everything the Democrat Party stands for.
They believe that you can change your sex just by
deciding you are a different sex. They believe we should
be teaching kids that they can change their sex. They
believe that billionaires have dominated our politics for too long.
(06:27):
They believe that capitalism is bad now. I think some
of that's because they are poorly educated. When you get
people on the left saying, you know, queers for Palestine,
you have not done your homework. You do not understand
that if you went to Palestine you would be stoned
to death or thrown from the top of whatever building
(06:48):
is still standing in Palestine right now. So there's a
lack of understanding. As Ronald Reagan said, it's not that
they it's not that they're ignorant. It's just that so
much of what they know just as and so I
think there's a lot of that's still in the list.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But they care about climate change, okay.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
So that's another point. They believe in climate change one
and the man made climate change, which is not true.
It's not a fact. It has been disproven.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Okay, But climate change policies jack up energy prices for everyone.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
That's right. But see, they're willing to do that because
they think the planet's about to end. It's not. So
they believe in the Democrat Party ideals out of knowing
the wrong things. They know in their minds that humans
are causing the change in climate across the planet. No,
we aren't.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's like during the Biden administration, you know, the Democrats,
they cared so much, and during the Obama during Obama
and both Biden administration administrations, you know, they cared so
much about gender pronouns in schools. And yet you have
parents that are struggling to afford groceries because of skyrocketing inflation.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
In Loudun County, Virginia, we had three boys that just
got thrown out of school because a girl came into
their locker room and they said, what are you doing here? Now?
These are boys changing clothes in high school, boys trying
to change clothes. A girl comes into their locker. They're like, wait,
why is a girl allowed in our locker? And the
and the girl then started filming the boys on her phone,
(08:18):
which is a violation of district policy in Louden County.
And yet it's the boys who have gotten kicked out
of school because Democrats run Louding County schools.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And look, yeah, we can certainly be excited about the
fact that folks are folks are rejecting the Democrat Party,
the nonsense, and yes, that's wonderful, and yes, that's beautiful.
But I think more importantly, it means that America is
realigning that the silent majority isn't silent anymore. They're registering
(08:52):
as Republican, they're voting Republican, and they're standing up and
they're saying enough is enough.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
And we could see the biggest drop in any party
since the Federalist Party back in eighteen oh four. Let's
get to the top of the things you need to
know before tomorrow. Before all, President Trump is sending three
(09:21):
US naval destroyers to Venezuela. The ships will remain in
international waters, and our charge was stopping illegal drug shipments
from South America to the USA. Along with the destroyers,
the President has added four thousand combat troops as part
of the deployment. This comes just week after the US
government placed a fifty million dollar bounty on the head
of Nicholas Maduro, the dictator of Venezuela, for his alleged
role in the drug trade to the USA.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You know, it's amazing what shining a little light in
some of the darkest corners of this world will do. Right,
It's kind of like when you turn the light on
in the kitchen in the middle of the night and
you see a roach or roaches and they just scatter. Right,
that's what's going on. We're realigning this this world that
we live in.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Second thing, you need no more for tomorrow. EPA administrator
Leeve Zelden announced he's canceling more than twenty nine billion
dollars in federal grants. The grants were mostly issued in
the final days of the presence of Biden administration, after
President Trump had been re elected but before he took office.
That twenty nine billion dollars is nearly three times the
annual operating budget of the EPA. Most of the money
(10:22):
came from the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, which was really
the Green New Deal in disguise. Zelden says the way
the grants were issued involved corruption and conflicts of interest.
He told Fox News is Brett Behar and if the
argument is going to be made that a dollar should
get spent to remediate an environmental issue, then spend it
on remediating an environmental issue. Instead, they're giving it to
(10:44):
their friends, former Biden and Obama officials and Democratic donors.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Well Stacey Abrams, who ran for governor of Georgia great example,
she ran some sort of nonprofit which she had just
called nonprofit.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
She had just formed it, and they gave her a
billion dollars. Never managed two million with that nonprofit.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
She I mean, I don't even know that she can
balance her check book.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
And the third thing you need to be for in
a while. Bed Bath and Beyond announced this week they
will not be reopening any stores in the state of California.
Marcus Lamonas, the executive chairman of bed Bath and Beyond, wrote,
this decision isn't about politics, It's about reality. California has
created one of the most over regulated, expensive and risky
environments for businesses in America. It's a system that makes
it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open,
(11:28):
and harder to deliver values to customers. Lamona said they
will be able to serve customers in California better by
online orders, which would arrive either same day or up
to forty eight hours later. Governor Gavin Newsom responded by
saying he didn't think bed Bath and Beyond still existed.
The company is in the process of reopening seventy five
locations nationwide.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I know that that's just shameful, but you know, at
the same time with so many Californians leaving California, right,
I mean, there's plenty of business to be had throughout
the country.

American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avaloni and Stephen Parr.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen parvar Lewis are Avaloni.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I think sometimes we yearn for nostalgi I don't know,
themes or the way folks used to be, the way
business used to be done, the way sure parents used
to parent, the way children used to be respectful. Yeah,
why is that? Why why do we clean? You know,
(13:53):
because a lot of folks say, well, you know, there's
a lot of bad things in the past. You know,
there was slavery. I mean, you know, do you want
to clean to not lifetime?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
There hasn't been slavery in this time. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Why do you think we we reminisced so much, you know,
you know what I'm saying. Like, for example, I mean
because Coca Cola is a great example going back. You know,
we liked the way coke tasted, We liked everything about coke,
and and the folks a Coca Cola came up with
the idea we're going to change all of that, and
(14:23):
we didn't like that. We didn't like that as a country,
well because the new taste was awful, okay, but but
there was something nostalgic, right, nostalgic because the new one
was crap, like good, what's illustrated? For example, having dudes
on there on the cover of the swimsuit edition. I mean,
there's just something wrong with that.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's not dud.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Okay, I know that's kind of perverted. But my point is,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
What no, you've made You've made the point that sometimes
we're nostalgic because things back then didn't suck like they
do sometimes now.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Okay, So so why am I I don't eat it?
Cracker Barrel a lot?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I mean it's very infrequent, but I like Cracker Barrel.
But there's They've had the same logo, right for forty
seven years, and now this woke CEO of Cracker Barrel
has decided to do away with that. Oh a new logo,
just a complete they get rid of. There was a guy.
It was an image the logo of well, it's a
(15:28):
man sitting on a chair leaning against a barrel, right,
and it told a story. Sure, it evoked a time
of hospitality, of simpler days of tradition. And now the
guy is gone, the guy, the rocking chair, the barrel.
It's just the only thing left is the name Cracker Barrel.
(15:49):
And my question is why do I give a rip
about that? Why should anyone give a rip about that?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yeah, I don't know. I think it's more offensive that
we took the Indian off the land of Lakes Butter,
because it's like we took the Indian and Jemima. We
sent the Indian away and we kept the land. I'm like,
that's that's kind of the whole complaint of Native America.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Just saying sometimes when we think about, you know, yesteryear,
I mean, we're doing more than just I mean.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
But it depends upon what you're doing, what you're reminiscing about,
and why the change was made. We got a question
for American mamas. Dear mama, is how long until you
overstay you're welcome?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well, let's ask America and Mama's.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Mama Mama.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Enjoining us now are American Mama's tern Needeville and Kimberly Burlison.
Oh so sad you guys got to go. Thank you
so much for enjoyed it. Okay, so how long until
you've overstayed your and y'all could never overstay You're welcome?
Here On American Ground Radio we love you guys.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Oh thank goodness to this is like an actual topic
in our house right now. Really, yes, this is a topic.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
You have a house guest.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Well, when people came, I'm like, please just stay for
a long weekend, please, Okay, I just want a long weekend.
Three days, three three days maybe four three four tops.
That's it, you know, because the rule of thumb is
you want people to be, you know, sad that you're
leaving and wishing you had stay longer, sure, and not
relieve that you're leaving. Okay, So we're going to Portland.
(17:28):
And my husband's brother lives in Portland. Okay, it's going
to be his birthday. So my husband, because it's his brother,
he wants to go for a week, all right, And
I said, we're not doing that. I said I won't go,
and he's like, you won't go, and I'm like, not
if you're going for a week. I said, I'll go
for a long weekend. But that's as long as I'm
going because but this is my brother. I said, no,
(17:48):
I'm telling you, his wife doesn't want us there for
more than a long weekend, trust me.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Okay, But is it possible that other people have a
different determination.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
It's not it's not possible.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
It's not possible. It's not possible.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Well, it depends on if it's family or if it's friends. Okay,
let's just say it like that. Like I remember, and
this is probably why when we were growing up, if
we were allowed to spend the night with somebody, they
would take us at five the night with Friday night
and they would pick us up by ten Saturday.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Morning, and am that was it?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That was it?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
And I always like, oh, we were you know, we
were just getting started, and Nope, that's the deal. Well
then you become a parent and you're like, what a
gift that was, because usually if a kid stays, it
will be all day and then they might stay that
night another night on the weekends. I had this happen
all the time. But I also remember we were when
we lived Inssissippi. I was in seventh grade, you were
in the eighth grade. Raleigh Walker and his family came
(18:45):
and stayed with us. They were coming in and they
were going on to Florida for the beach. Well, they
got there the night before. Mom put on a big meal.
We had a great time. We had fun with the
kids and then we all had big pilet palettes on
the floor in the living room. The next morning we
woke up, they were gone, and I was like, oh wait,
we're Scott Matt and where's everybody. My dad said, that's
(19:09):
the way to do it. That's the way to do it.
So that's what we did if we needed a landover.
You know, it's like you don't want them to feel
like they have to get up and make big breakfast
and they can say, oh, we wish I would have stayed.
Are the best guests, But inside it's like when when
Kimberly and I went to New York just for a visit.
We stayed with our cousin Rachel, and how many days,
like three or four, I don't know, and we were
(19:31):
never there. We we we had a mission first of all,
so we were there on a mission. But we saw
every single site everything we wanted to see. And Rachel's
husband was like, they're the best guests we have ever had.
We weren't there.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We took them up.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Yeah, then we were. We were went to bed that
we were not there. They're working too, We're.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Trying to stay out of the way, and we were
enjoying ourselves. Too, So that was a free you know,
free board for the time that we were there. So
we didn't want to and we didn't want to interfere
in the time. But I just think that if you leave,
like Kimberly said, it's kind of like at a party,
if you leave the party at a place where people
are like, oh man, I wish they didn't have to
leave so early. That was so fun. We got to
(20:12):
have them back rather than be the person where they're
flicking the light on and off, like, let's everybody, Hey,
we got to go to bed. You know, there's just
you have to.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
Be aware of you remember me sharing that friend that
I used to have that I dropped like a sand bag.
Remember that one worst guess I ever had. So when
we lived in Utah, you would not believe the number
of people that want to come to your home because
they want to ski. Sure, so I'm talking weeks at
a time, We're having constant guests. We were not wealthy,
we were just in our twenties, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Just flight to baby.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
So that's a lot that's very costly to have people
come to your home for a week at a time,
all the time in the winter, and to me, I
thought if people would come just for a long weekend.
But then say, I know you got a job to do.
You got work to do, you do your thing. We
just needed a place to stay all day every day.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
I can do that.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
But they want you to entertain them.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
No, no, only certain certain people, but that one brand
a drop like a sandbag. Were complained to me. You
fit into people's lifestyle if they wake up that you
wake up fit into their lifestyle.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Right, No, I get that absolutely, and I try and
do that when I when I travel somewhere new, I
want to fit into the culture that's that's there. And
households have their own cultures. So yeah, you do want
to try and fit in. And if you don't like
their culture, don't stay there next.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Time exactly for five days exactly. So when you and
Wendy come to my house.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Weekend, tops, I'm delightful. People want me stay way past
everyone everyone else going. They're like that guy. Okay, uh,
well we're out of time. If you'd like to ask
our American mama is a question, good to our website
America ground Radio dot com. Slash Mama's and click on
(22:02):
the ask the Mama's button. Terry down at Kimberly Brothers
and thank you so much. Andy, coming up next to
your on American Ground Radio. We are digging deep. Stick around,
We'll be right back.

Choosy moms, choose American Ground Radio. It's smooth, creamy and
now contains seven grams of protein for serving. With Lewis
r Avaloni and Stephen Parr, working to ensure that talk
radio of the people, by the people, for the people
(22:36):
shall not perish from the earth. American Ground Radio with
Lewis our Avaloni and Stephen Parr.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Lewis.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Back to this subject of Cracker Barrel. You know it
dropped its man in the Barrel logo, right, it's an
image that it stood for nearly half a century.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
They basically kept the same colors yellow on the bronze,
the script.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
But before Cracker Barrel, that was Angelima. There was Uncle Ben, right,
there was the Native American woman on the land of
Lake's Butter. I mean they weren't offensive, they weren't racist,
they were American icons.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Well, the Washington Redskins logo they got rid of that
and now it's just a w.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But see here's the thing. And I want to get
back to this point why we cling to tradition, Conservatives
in particular, we cling to tradition because not because we're
stuck in the past, but because we understand something very
I think it's because we understand something very deep, very human,
and that is that traditions. You know, it's kind of
like the scaffolding that holds up civilization. It's not arbitrary,
(23:53):
it's the result of centuries of trial and error.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
I think it depends upon the tradition, the tradition of
hazing and fraternities that needs to go the heck away.
We need to end that. That is an awful tradition
that has led to the death of numerous students across
the country.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I mean, there's bad traditions. Certainly those gotta go away.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
It's not just that we are nostalgic because we're holding
on to tradition. It's that some of these new things
are are awful. Just getting rid of the Washington Redskins
saying it is racist, when the family of the guy
who the logo was based on is saying, no, that
was our ancestor, that was our relative. Why are you
(24:33):
taking away his right and his honor, the family of Jemima,
They're like, we were honored to be in the kitchen,
not just of black people, but also of white people.
That they liked her name on the syrup, Uncle Ben's rice.
It's not that the changes, it's not that the changes
that they made made anything better.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
But see, I think part of it too at the
heart of it, because you look at the left and
left they hate the past, they hate tradition, They don't
see history as a source of wisdom.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
And I think there's a lot of trauma there, a
lot of personal trauma that they then graft onto society
as a whole.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
But I think there's something even more sinister. Is that
when you destroy traditions, when you erase symbols, when you
I mean, what you're actually doing is you're creating confusion,
and confusion breeds dependency, right, because I guess what the
dependency is the left's currency.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
They're trying to create a tabula rossa basically a blank
slate where you can write anything on the whole future.
You can write on it, Yes, but if you're rejecting
actual wisdom, if you're rejecting things that are tried and true,
simply because they offend you, because you've bought into a
brand new ideology that didn't used to exist. Well, that's
(25:45):
not necessarily a good thing either. Yes, there are some
things in our past that needed to be eliminated. Slavery
needed to be eliminated. Uncle Ben did not.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, and again we don't as conservatives, we don't cling
to traditions, know, because we want to stay rooted in
the past.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
It's because those traditions, for the most part, were better
than the nonsense you're coming up with today. Let's dig deep,
going down, down, down, Lewis, what is it with Democrats
and mortgage fraud?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I don't know. Well, I think part of it is
any kind of fraud dealing with Democrats. They don't think
they'll get caught, Okay, but they're above the law. But
there's been a rash of mortgage fraud indictments. So you've
got first New York Attorney General Letitia James. She claimed
to have property a primary residence in both New York
State and in Virginia. It is illegal to claim multiple
(26:45):
states as your primary residents. But the records that show
that she has been doing that, that she did that,
those records have been released. Then it was California Senator
Adam Schiff. Exact same thing, just different states. He declared
a primary in both his small little condo in California
and in his mansion in Maryland. He said, both of
(27:05):
those are primary residents. Now it also appears that a
member of the Federal Reserve Board Federal has done the
same thing. The Federal Housing Director Bill Poulti sent an
official criminal referral to the Department of Justice against Lisa Cook.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Cook was named to the Federal Reserve Board by President
Joe Biden. This is from zero Hedges dot com. Cook
was nominated to the FED by President Joe Biden and
took office in twenty twenty two, becoming the first black
woman to serve on the Fed's Board of Governors. She
was later nominated by Biden for a full term, which
expires in twenty thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
All Right, you know, I just a side note here.
I wish we could and I know I'm not ban it,
but I just cringe every time someone says this is
the first Asian American, this is this first African American
in terms of some position. Well, that's fine, a Brican
American woman from the South, but that's fine to say that.
(28:03):
That's fine to say that, but that shouldn't be what
you lead with. You should be talking about their education, qualifications,
their competence, their experience. And then oh, by the way,
this is the first African American woman to hold this
position ever.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Okay, but do they do that with this is the
first Swiss American person to do that. No, no, they don't.
All right now, so what is she exactly accused of doing? Well,
here's an excerpt from the actual criminal referral. You can
go read this online as well. According to mortgage documents
obtained by US Federal Housing, it appears an individual, miss
(28:40):
Lisa Dnell Cook, has falsified bank documents and property records
to acquire more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud
under the criminal statute. This has included falsifying residence statuses
for an an Armor, Michigan based residence and an Atlanta,
Georgia based property in order to potentially secure lower interest
(29:01):
rates and more favorable loan terms. Poultice says that Cook
got a mortgage on her home in ann Arbor, Michigan,
on June eighteenth, twenty twenty one, and then she said
on that day that's her primary residence and it would
be her primary residence for at least the next year.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
And remind me who is this lady. She's a member
of the Reserve Board. Okay, so her job is to
help decide what interest rates are for everybody else in the.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
United States of America. Okay, So she says, ann Arbor,
that's my home. This is my permanent residence, is going
to be my permanent residence for a year. Two weeks later,
she signed on a condominium in Atlanta, and in that
mortgage paperwork she said that was her primary residence. She
changed her mind for the next but she can't her mind.
(29:45):
You can't do that because you say in the mortgage document,
as you're getting that favorable rate in ann Arbor, you're
going to be there for a year. And then two
weeks later she says, no, I'm going to be in
Atlanta for a year. But she never told the bank
in ann Arbor, actually I'm not going to either for
a year. You need to change my mortgage.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And I'm presuming she's a Democrat. She's a Democrat, okay.
And see this is the thing you say, why so
many Democrats are in so many issues or having so
many issues with mortgages.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Yeah, the exact same thing, claiming primary residence is in.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Multiple states, because it's just another example of how you
get something for nothing. And for Democrats, it's about gaming
the system. And I know a lot of folks say, oh,
that's painting it with a very broad brush, but is it.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Well, see the next year ms Cook then listed that
Atlanta condo for rent. That's another form of mortgage fraud.
When you tell a bank property that property is your
primary residence and then you decide you're going to rent
it out, you have to then tell the bank your
situation has changed because they will likely charge you a
higher rate since they will now incur more risk.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
And by the way, it's also this mentality that you know, well,
it's the banks, the big banks. You know, they've got
plenty of theaye. I mean, you know, who am I
really hurting here?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Okay, But here's the hypocrisy of all this. Latisha James
prosecuted Donald Trump for defrauds and the bank said, we
weren't actually defrauded, and at the same time, it appears
she was defrauding banks in multiple states. Adam Shiff said
he's got evidence of Donald Trump's corruption, and yet at
the same time he was behaving in corrupt behavior in
(31:14):
two states across the coast, especially when he says he's
representing California, but he has a small little condo there.
He lives actually in Maryland in a mansion. And then
now one of the people responsible setting interest rates in
America appears to have lied on her mortgage paperwork in
an effort to get a lower interest rate. It's not
just fraud, that's outright hypocrisy. The interesting thing is Donald
(31:35):
Trump could fire her for cause, and if he does,
then he could replace her, which means he would be
able to have much more control over the Federal Reserve
Board within weeks.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, no, Democrats don't think the rules apply to them.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
It's gotta stop. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
You're listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (32:01):

Speaker 5 (33:15):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Power, lewisar Avalon.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
So James Comy, the former FBI director, Yes, who turned
against that agency? Well, he turned against it. He corrupted it. Yeah, absolutely,
he turned it into a political weapon.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Well, now he's out there telling people that he is
inspired by Taylor Swift. Okay, Taylor Swift. According to James Comy,
the former director, The former FBI director, huh says, the
pop star Taylor Swift inspires him to stand up to bullies.
(33:55):
Can you believe this? Here's the guy that walked around Washington, DC,
one of the most powerful men in the country.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Right, he was the one who actually perpetuated the whole
Russia collusion hoax so that he could take down the
Trump presidency before it ever began. I mean, and so
he's calling Donald Trump a bully when what he was
actually doing was this is laughable. But here's the thing.
Taylor Swift's story really is an inspirational story. She came
(34:25):
from nothing, she rose up, became a pop star. She
was but she was used and appresed.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
No, no, not like the American dream.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
There are only a handful of stories to the level
of success of Taylor Swift in American history, and it
is a testament to America that she's done this. But
part of what it was was the the the music
machine basically took her rights, took her music, and they
were making money off it. And then she came back
and actually took control over it. She was able to
(34:54):
do something for herself that the Beatles weren't able to
do for themselves.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You have taken this to a extraordinary level. No that
James Comy has never even considered. He's thinking about just
saying for people, I'm saying for mean girls. Okay, I
get it about mean girls and talking about and so
who is he talking to saying that Taylor Swift? It
inspires him to stand up to bullies.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
He's talking to Donald Trump. I mean, he's trying to
play politics with Taylor Swift. I'm just saying, if you
take the politics out of it and you just look
at her story, her story is inspiring. It's an American
dream story.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
And I don't want to take anything from her. I'm
just saying this, it's a little ridiculous. Here is a guy.
Remember he was the guy that came across those shells
on the beach that said eighty six forty seven, right,
And it wasn't just once what he did it twice, right.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
And so for James call me to consider himself a victim,
that's the ridiculousness. He was the head of the FBI.
He weaponized the FBI his local purposes. He is threatened
to kill the United States president with that eighty six
forty seven. That's a right against the sitting president. And
you think you're the victim.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I mean, you lord, have mercy. I mean, he's so
desperate to be seen as the hero.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
I mean, so he's trying to glom onto Taylor Swift's celebrity,
and that's also a little sad weird. Let's get to
a bright spot.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I'm doing all right, getting good grace just so right.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
So Tolci Gabber, the Director of National Intelligence, is making
some good moves, moves that I think are bright spots. First,
last night, she revoked the security clearances of thirty seven
current and former intelligence officers. I read through the list.
I don't think most Americans are going to know any
of the names of the people on the list, But
she wrote, being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege,
not a right. Those in the intelligence community who betray
(36:49):
their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests
ahead of the interests of the American people have broken
the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so,
they undermine our national security, the safety and security of
the American people, and the foundational principles of our democratic republic.
She also said that the people involved abuse the public
trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization,
(37:12):
and or committing intentional egregious violations of trade craft standards.
By the way, we're talking about James Coy. James Commey
did all those things. He's already had consequences for that,
but there's more that needs to come. I do think
this is a bright spot. There were people in the
intelligence agencies who were manipulating data, leaking classified and information,
and lying to the American people for political purposes. Not
(37:34):
only should they have their security clearances revoked, frankly, they
should all be in jail.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yes, yeah, absolutely, And I think really what we're talking
about here is the deep state, absolutely, and a lot
of folks I don't think fully appreciate exactly how cancer is.
That is not Jake.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
You have non elected people, anonymous people almost who think
they are the government. They think they are the holders
of power, and they don't do what they're supposed to do.
They do what they want to do so that they
can keep their own power.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Well, and you know, it's kind of like the Biden administration.
It wasn't necessarily that these people wanted to do X,
Y and z. They were being controlled, they were being manipulated.
All the folks are around.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
I know the people in the Biden administration absolutely wanted
to do what they were doing. They a deep state
wanted to do what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
No, absolutely, but they use they used the lack of
anyone in control, the lack of the president in the
White House, the.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Vegetable in chief that they used the fact that he
wasn't actually in control for their their aims. Now, Gabbart
is not just stopping with revoking security clearances. This from
real clear politics. Gabbard will launch a campaign to dramatically
overhaul the entire agency by returning it to its original
purpose and thereby preserving its future. According to senior officials
(39:06):
who assisted in the review, the plan includes cutting the
workforce by forty percent. So she's cutting the size of
the intelligent community by forty percent. I think that's a
good sared. She just says the payroll will shrink to
around oney three hundred down for more than two thousand
employees when Gabbard took over, annual savings of seven hundred
million are expected.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
No, the deep state is definitely being drained. This is
a great story in furtherance of that, right. I mean,
it's not fast enough, it's not completely yet, but it
is happening.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
But when you're trying to take on the intelligence apparatus.
You have to do it meticulously, you have to do
it seriously, and you have to do it carefully. Otherwise
they will fabricate lies about you to try and get
you back at you, just like they did with Donald
Trump and Russia Gate.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Well, you have to expose them, you have to fire them.
Then you've got to replace them with people who believe
in America. First.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
I don't think you have to replace all of them.
That also would be a bright spot.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
You are listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Povard Lewis sar Avalonia.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
You know, you scoff at me many times when I
say that as a society we need to be making
more babies. Scoff you do a little bit. You're like,
you know, I'm well, nevertheless, it's just.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
It's maybe not the way I would put it, but okay,
that's fine, okay.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
But at the same time, I know a lot of
folks say, well, you know, kids are so expensive.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
They are.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
That's why, you know, maybe folks aren't making as many
babies today as they were.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
It's part of why people postpone. It's one of the
reasons why people postpone having children.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
And sometimes folks say, well, I'm going to wait later
in life because to get married and then to have
a child.
Speaker 5 (40:53):
Focused on their career first. You have a lot of
especially women that are that are doing that, folks on
career first, and then that ends up putting.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
But you know what, you know what, maybe it's neither
of those things. Maybe it's not the babies are too
are too expensive, or that you're putting it off for
your career, that's all part of it. Maybe maybe you're
not doing something very fundamental that would necessarily lead to
making babies in the first place. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
No sex at all in the last year. Is Kit's
off on the side laughing it.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
Up back in the No what I'm doing I'm not laughing.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
She's doing something, sure, she's not even sure.
Speaker 7 (41:26):
I'm blushing on all of the makeup.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Is the blushing?
Speaker 5 (41:28):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
And the nineteen nineties, among all adults, no sex at
all in the last year was eighteen percent and twenty
twenty four. Look at that no sex at all up
again ten points. Look at here those eighteen to twenty one.
Look at that twenty four percent of the nineteen hundred
and nineties. It's the younger folks who are getting up sex.
Look at that percentage, double doubled.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
No, okay, But those are also the people who are
less likely to be married. So we've cut down on
out of wedlock and that's good. That's a good thing.
And we're just saying whoa.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
When I say whoa, ah, I mean whoa.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
Republican Congressman Derek van Orden was driving with his wife
Sarah on I thirty five in Iowa over the weekend
when traffic slowed down due to an eighteen wheeler pulled
over on the side of the road. That's when he
saw a mini van crash at high speed, with parts
of the van flying off. He turned his car around
to see if he could help it. On the passenger
side of the minivan was an eleven year old boy
who was badly wounded. The child had muscle ripped off
(42:26):
his calf, he had an arterial bleed from his wrist.
Congressman Van Orden, a Navy seal, knew he only had
a few minutes to save the boy's life or he
would bleed out, so he took his own socks and
started using them to form tourniquets to stop the bleeding.
The boy was taken to a hospital and is now recovering.
Some members of the media congratulate him. He just said,
there are other people they are helping too.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
What a great story.
Speaker 5 (42:47):
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

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.
