Speaker 1 (00:00):
Out in these parts. Some folks call it radio. We
call it the last campfire of the American spirit.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Stoke the fire of freedom.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
With American Ground Radio.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
We choose to go to the moon and do the
other thing.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Not because they are easy, but because they are odd.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
It is time for us to realize that we're too
great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. I
have a dream that one day this nation will rise up,
live out the true meaning of its tree.

Speaker 5 (00:43):
American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avalone and Stephen Prokoe.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
This is American Ground Radio. Stephen Parver with Lewis sar Well.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
The summer polling from Gallup is out. And I think,
I mean, according to these numbers, apparently our country has
never been more divided than it is right now. I
mean we by that, I mean according to Gallup. Well,
I mean you got to go back to when Gallup
started pulling. Gallup wasn't polling in eighteen sixty, so I

(01:27):
think you could still say arguably America was more divided
in eighteen sixty than it is today. But Gallup's been
polling since the nineteen fifty possibly, possibly, But listen to
these numbers. According to Gallup, ninety three percent of Republicans
approve of Trump's overall job performance compared to just one

(01:47):
percent of Democrats. That is a ninety two point gap.
This ties the record for the largest partisan divide in
Gallup's presidential approval trends, which was first recorded in October
twenty twenty, right before the twenty twenty election. Now think
about that, ninety three percent to one percent, right, a

(02:13):
ninety two point gap. I mean, this is not a
divide you can paper over with you know, polite political conversation, right,
I mean, this is a chasm. This is a canyon.
This is a political grand canyon. And here's the kicker.
This isn't just Republicans distrusting Democrats or vice versa. It's

(02:35):
both sides dug in semented, reinforced with steel. So, in
other words, all of the Democrats disapprove of President Trump
to the extent that just zero point four percent of
them feel the country is on the right track. So
going the other way, Republicans' lowest approval for any Democratic

(02:56):
president was two percent. That was Joe Biden. In several
of the twenty twenty three twenty twenty four polls, two percent.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Okay, But to be fair, when the Republicans were at
two percent, the Democrats were still they're not under fifty
percent for Biden, they did not approve of what either.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
That's true too, but but two percent was about as
close as you could get to absolute zero in politics
without being you know, I mean ridiculous about that. But
the guy had dementia and he was walking around. He
couldn't find the exit, he couldn't go upstairs. How was
he going to leave the country? But today's gap is
even greater.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Right, But all right, So there's one thing though that
this poll doesn't pick up on. The poll says the
people who identify as Democrats today only one percent of
them approve of what Donald Trump's doing. But what it
doesn't pick up on is the number of people who
were Democrats who no longer are Democrats who actually do

(03:54):
approve of what Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Whoever's left as the Democrat is as far left as
you could. There aren't any moderate Democrats in this poll,
is right, because the moderate Democrats have already left the party.
They either went independent or they went Republican.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Robert F. Kennedy Junior was a Democrat this time a
year ago. Toulci. Gabbard was a Democrat this time two
years ago. But it's almost like they're not democrats. See,
I don't even know if this is about party anymore.
It's almost as if we have split into two entirely
different realities, right, because there's a very different worldview for

(04:31):
people on the far left than there is from people
on the far right. We just we will look at
the same event and we will process it differently, because
one the left looks at it through a victim mindset.
They look at it through a church hurt mindset. They
look at it through a bad parenting mindset. They look
at it through a socialist mindset. The right will look
at something. They will look at it through a capitalist mindset.

(04:53):
They will look at it through a freedom mindset, they
will look at it through a biblical mindset. If you
look at something and your understanding of how the world
works is that fundamentally different, you will interpret the event
very differently.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
And look, I'm not being naive here. As you pointed out,
America has always been divided. In eighteen sixty, Gallop wasn't around, right,
But if you ask Southerners about Abraham Lincoln, his approval
rating wouldn't have been anywhere near ninety three percent. It
would have been closer to zero percent. I mean, the
Civil War was the ultimate partisan divide. It costs six

(05:31):
hundred thousand American lives.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, but you know what, Republicans. I don't think even
in the middle of the Civil War, if you had
polled them, the Northern Republicans, I don't think Abraham Lincoln
would have had anywhere close to ninety three percent approval
of Northern Republicans during the middle of the Civil War.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
But there are some issues that should not be partisan,
like protecting our nation's security. Every American, red or blue,
you want to live in a safe country, don't you.
I mean, whether it's a southern whether it's the southern border.
We're talking about our cybersecurity or terrorism. I mean, there
shouldn't be any debate that keeping the nation secure is

(06:10):
priority number one.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
But again it comes back to worldview. If you believe
that the role of government is to secure our rights
to life first.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Okay, so we're not going to agree on this.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
No, the left is not going to agree on this
because the left's worldview is that the American government is
an empire, that it is colonial that it is evil.
They see America as what's wrong in the world.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Okay, what about making money? What I mean everyone wants
to make money, they want to keep money, they want
to pass money on to their kids.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't know if everybody wants to make money. How
many people living on the street don't want to make money.
They just want to stay and spend their days being high.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Okay, so we can't agree as Democrats and Republicans that,
you know, making money, saving money, being able to afford
a nicer lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Being able to have a nicety Yes, but the left
doesn't want to have to save money for that. They
just want the nicer lifestyle. They think government we should
be a rich and powerful enough country that the government
should simply be able to give them a nicer lifestyle.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Okay, what about doing away with the Department of Education? Yeah, actually,
in an effort, in an effort to protect children's education.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
No, the left absolutely doesn't. They want the governments to
run the education because they don't trust parents to be good.
I think a large part of the problem with the
ideology of people on the left was that they simply
had not all of them, but a large number of
them simply had bad parents, and so they don't think
that parents can teach their children well because their parents didn't.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Okay, what about school vouchers where folks can choose, you know,
you get parents have the freedom to send their child.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
To a better Christian school. Oh, absolutely not. Governments shouldn't
be paying for churches the left what the left will say?

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Okay, so we can't agree. Yes, now we can't agree
on educating our children protecting our children's education.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
No, I really don't think the left and the right
can agree on that.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
So why are we not agreeing? I mean, why is everything?
And I know I sound so naive about this, but
I mean, at the same time.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yes, here's why we're not agreeing. Ronald Reagan told us
back in the nineteen eighties. He said, it's not that
our friends on the left are ignorant. It's just that
so much of what they know just isn't so okay,
But their mindset is wrong because their understanding of the
world is flawed.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
You know. I used to think that we want different things,
and I know that not everybody wants the same things,
But is that really what it is? We don't want
the same things.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I don't think that's necessarily it. I just think that
we have a very different mindset of how to get there.
And the left thinks that the solution is government, and
the Republicans think that the problem is government.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
So is America always in the process of tearing its
apart and stitching itself back together.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
No.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
In the early eighteen hundreds, it's called the era of
good Feelings. There was one party that dominated. It was
the Democratic Republican Party, and they dominated for forty years.
Let's get to the top. Few things you need before tomorrow.

(09:24):
First thing you need know before While Texas Governor Greg
Abbott signed into law a new redistricting map for the
Lone Star state. The maps are expected to flip five
Democrat seats in Republican seats. Already, Democrats have filed two
lawsuits in an effort to block that new map. Because
of Texas's redistricting removed, the state of California is asking
its voters to approve a new map that would give
Democrats four more seats, making California the most Geriumandered state

(09:45):
in the Union. Texas has been denied one extra seat
in Congress, while California was allowed to keep an extra
seat because of massive mistakes made during the twenty twenty census.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
You no, here's the thing. If Texas, let's just say,
for example, you believe that Texas is gerrymandering it parties
and reasons right, not just to reflect the voter base. Okay,
Democrat states have been doing this for decades, the party projection.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Whatever they accuse you of doing, they've already done. Second
thing you need to know before tomorrow. President Trump has
attempted to cancel five billion dollars in foreign aid spending
through a pocket recision. A pocket recision is a rarely
used process where a president asked Congress to revote spending
the Congress had already approved, but Congress doesn't actually have
the vote on the pulling of the funding. Pocket recisions
only work in the weeks before Congress's fiscal year ends.

(10:32):
Since the fiscal year ends October first, the House and
Senate likely won't have time to vote on the recision request.
The five billion dollars was earmarked for foreign aid spending
that mostly was designed for climate alarmism projects and transgender
promotion programs in other countries.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Okay, so this was obviously programs left over from the
Biden administration. Yep, or spending that was authorized during the
Biden administration.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
That's exactly right, and the third thing you need before tomorrow.
It appears fired Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook may
have lied on a third mortgage application. Cook has already
accused of mortgage fraud by claiming that both a home
in Michigan and an apartment she purchased in twenty twenty
one in Georgia were both her primary residences. Now, Federal
Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Poulty says she lied on

(11:19):
another mortgage in order to get lower rates, this time
in Cambridge, Massachusetts. On that condominium, Cook received three hundred
and sixty one thousand dollars mortgage, claiming the residence was
her quote second home, but records shows she immediately began
renting out that property from up to fifty thousand dollars
a year for rental income. The interest rates for second
homes are much lower than the interest rates for rental properties.

(11:40):
Cook's attorney said this was all an obvious smear campaign.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yes, smear. She's on the Federal Reserve Board. Don't you
think we should trust her financial judgment?

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, but she shouldn't lie on mortgage forms.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
You're listening to American Ground Radio.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Welcome back to American Grammar.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Now, Stephen pop Lu, you know there have been several
studies on universal Basic income ub I. Well, there is
a new report out by Kelsey Piper Okay, and he
wrote this.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I don't know who Kelsey he wrote this report.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Well he's a reporter, okay, and he did this study
on UBI.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Universal Basic income.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
And basically, in these studies, what they have observed is
basically government giving thousands of dollars to homeless people, to
new mothers, to low income Americans. Money that was arguably,
and I think the conventional wisdom for those on the
left actually and maybe some on the right, the conventional

(13:59):
wisdom is that money will change their lives, that will
give them a fresh start, that will empower them.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
That's the idea, apparently, is that it's supposed to give
them a fresh start. And in every one of these
surveys that I've seen so far, the only thing I've
really seen for sure is that the people who receive
the money feel good about receiving the money. And that's
actually a question that they asked people, do you like
getting this money? Yes? I like getting this money. Okay, great,
we've accomplished our mission.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
But when the researchers went back and checked, there was
nothing to show for it. Nothing n a zero on
the most important metrics employment, health, education, savings, long term stability.
The recipients now get this were statistically indistinguishable from the

(14:48):
people who didn't get the money. In other words, the
free cash made no difference.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Now here's where they don't measure this because so far,
in almost all of these universal basic income experiments, the
money's been donated by private groups. They're trying to get
governments to do it, but usually it's a private group
that does it. But if the government were to do this,
that would have to come from tax money. Governments would
have to raise taxes. So what these experiments don't measure

(15:21):
is what is the negative downside of increasing taxes to
pay for universal basic income when universal basic income provides
no net good for the people who receive it.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
But see, the fallacy is that folks don't understand oftentimes,
I mean our listeners, our listeners do they do Poverty
isn't just about dollars. It's about discipline, it's about decisions,
it's about incentives, and yes, it is about culture. When
you hand people money with no strings attached attached, you

(15:50):
don't change the underlying issues.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
You make them comfortable in their poverty. We got a
question for our American mama's, dear mama's who is the
cringe crown winner? This week.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
Well, let's ask our American Mama's Alma.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
And joining us now are American Mama's Terry Neediville and
Kimberly Burlason. Gavin Newsom's social media managers put out a
new Gavin Newsom logo and it's it's just like the
vote Donald Trump to make America great again Donald Trump logo,
except that it says make America Gavin again. He's trying
to steal the MAGA logo. Uh and you guys say

(16:39):
he's the Cringe Crown Award winner of the week.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
We are down here, we are crowning Gavin Newsom Cringe
Crown of the Week, which that could be a weekly
thing with Gavin Newsom, but we're going to give it.
We're going to give it to him this week. I've
never seen someone so out of touch in my entire life.
I don't know if this man just has something under
lock and key, like they know they're just going to
guide him through success. Because this man is so out

(17:02):
of touch with his own constituents, with the entire country,
with what they want that it's shocking to me.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
With a shocking date, I mean, just look what happened
with the fires. You know he's got Spencer. I can't
dave the last name right now. But there's a star
that was he his reality star Practice. He came out
with all of this evidence that Gavin Newsom, they had
all these stars come out and they raised all this money.
Well the money went to some sort of entity that

(17:30):
his wife is in charge of, endeavor that his wife
is in charge of. He's such a liar. He is
one of those. And I'm telling you, you know how
you think of the devil like.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
A human formed. That's why I picture too slick goodness.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Well, they say he's good looking. He's not to me,
but like a good looking svelt guy with his hair back.
He grosses me out number onless. But during COVID he
was the one at the French laundry. You know, while
he's shutting down his entire state. He is so about him,
he's so narcissistic. He aout himself. But you said it
at the top the managers of his social media. Yes

(18:04):
he has not even him writing these troll statements to
Trump or to America. He didn't make the grapto so
but he's signing his name to it. So he's got
these guys.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
That are you know he's cracking me up with cussing too. Yeah,
he's got a natural every now and then because he's
like trying to match Trump, trying to mirror him, and
nobody can do that.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
They also flipped like when he first remember when he
met with Charlie Kirk and he tried to act like
that he was really leaning into what the right was
right now middle like, yeah, like, you know, I'm with you.
I can see where it's not right to have men
and women's sports. But then that didn't work for him
because everybody can see right through it. So now it's
all the way.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Back to which unfortunately may be working for him. It
is since he started going further to the left, since
he started the whole I'm gonna I can now cuss,
so I know I've learned new words. Gavin Newsom since
he's doing this make America Gavin again stuff. His poll
numbers happen going up?

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, do you believe him?

Speaker 7 (19:02):
I mean, do you believe these polls? I mean, be honest.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I well, if you're if you're saying, which Democrat do
democrats like if the poll numbers are going up just
because some Democrats are like finally, somebody's fighting for us
that I could absolutely see that.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
I think that he's the one person that's able to
fight against Trump. But what's what they don't understand is
he's trying to be Trump. You cannot be Trump. Trump
can be Trump, only you cannot try to be somebody else.
And he's he's such a weasel. You know, he's such
a freaking weasel.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
You know who he reminds me of. You said, it's
like the Devil, you know that. Remember that movie The
Omen when we were younger, the movie The Omen and Damien, Damien,
he reminds me.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
And this is how clever he is. So when all
that cracker bell barrel stuff started happening, he got on there,
or maybe his managers of his social media did, but
they got on there and they were poopooing cracker barrel
saying this is too woke, this woke is dead.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Go back.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
So then you have those lefts who were kind of
sent or kind of in the middle, going, oh, he
gets it, woke is dead. Don't believe him. It's kind
of like those rhinos that we've been voting for for
all of these decades. They say that they're Republicans, but
they get in them, they vote all the way to
the left every single time. So you know, they just
got in there saying that they're Republican, but they're really

(20:17):
super Democrats. That's what he's doing, and they don't see it.
He will get into office. If he ever did happen
to make get, you know, become president, he would. He's lying,
he's saying everything you want to hear, and then he'll
vote opposite all.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
The way I see. I think of him kind of
like the what Andrew Alexander Hamilton said about Aaron Burr,
because when you came up with that, so you get
the election of eighteen hundred and it comes down to
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson were tied, okay,
because someone forgot to vote the right way. Interesting, So
then they went to the House of Representatives who's going
to be president? And Aaron Burr comes out and says,

(20:54):
I may disagree with Thomas Jefferson's principles, but at least
he has them, suggesting Aaron Burr has no principles. I
don't think Gavin Newsom has any principles, because you're right.
He goes to Charlie Kerr and goes, oh, yeah, that
transgender's gone too far. And then he goes, well, let
me see that's not working. Let me see if I
can move to the left, and let me just troll

(21:15):
Trump and see how far left I can go. Oh, well,
now that's working. Okay, I'll do that, and I'll just
pepper in some stuff that sounds like I'm anti woke,
but I'll do that. I don't think he has anything.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
A million the man who cheated on his wife with
his best friend's wife and he lied through COVID. Now
he's gaslighting and saying, how could I possibly be the
one to shut down people from going to school and
going to church. I didn't have that right there, but
you did it.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
He did it.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
But he's trying to make people believe no, no, no,
I'm on your side. He's a weasel, he's a snake.
Cringe crown, Cringe crown.

good to our website Americanground Radio dot com. Slash Mama's

Kimberly Brother, listen, thank you so much, and coming up
next here on American ground Radio, we are digging deep.
We'll be right back. Stick around.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
So what do you think?

Speaker 8 (22:07):
Stand your ground on American ground radio? Call us text
us the number is eight six six AGR seventeen seventy six,
and let us know we may share your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Live what live on there?

Speaker 8 (22:20):
That's right, that's eight six six two four seven seventeen
seventy six.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
The latest surveys show people who listen to American ground
radio get forty eight percent higher gas smiles than the
average American. You're someone special when you listen to American
ground radio.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Welcome back to American ground Radio. Stephen Parvard duissar avalon
as So.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
Back in twenty twenty three, there was a young woman,
a twenty four year old woman named Emma Schaeffer. She
was brutally stabbed to death in Springfield, Illinois. And the
man accused of killing her was not a citizen, not
a legal immigrant, but an illegal who fled this country.
Tried to hide out in Mexico to avoid punishment for

(23:25):
his crime, his alleged crime.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I mean, now, look, he could have just stayed in Illinois.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Well, he certainly could have, but at the same time,
he is set to be extradited now back to the
United States to face That is great news. And you
know the question, you know, I got asked this question
earlier that when an illegal alien commits a crime in
this country, what happens. Do we deport them immediately or

(23:53):
do they serve time in jail.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
It depends upon the crime. If it's a misdemeanor, something
low level, we're much more likely to issue sometime sometimes,
but most of the time, especially if it's a felony,
they first have to serve out their sinate.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Because if an illegal alien commits a crime on American soil,
actually it's the US Justice Department that takes precedence. They
are tried, they're convicted, they serve their sentence before deportation
is even considered. In other words, we keep them in
our jails at our taxpayer expense for years, sometimes decades.

(24:30):
Then only then are they turned over to ice.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
And I'm fine with that. I know what's at our expense.
But based on previous administrations, if we let this convicted
criminal go, they'll be right back. They would have been
right back in the country immediately, especially under the Biden administration.
They would have been back within a day.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Absolutely. And here for Emma Schaeffer, this man is going
to be extradited, he's going to be tried in Illinois,
and if convicted, he'll serve his Senate it's here and
Emma Schaeffer's family, Our prayers certainly go out to them,
but they'll get some measure of justice. Right, But will
they ever get real closure? Well, I mean no, that

(25:12):
doesn't No parent, no parents should ever, No parent should
bury their child because of a crime that never had
to happen.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
You don't get relief from that from the justice system.
If you're gonna get that, it's gonna come from God.
It's gonna come from his peace. That's not going to
come from a judge.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
But anyway, so for folks who might have been wondering,
you know, yes, illegal aliens, you commit a crime here,
you'll serve your sentence in US jails first and then
face deportation.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
That is the law.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Let stick deep.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Going down down.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
So we've talked before about the wage gap, right, the
left complains that women make seventy five cents for every
dollar a man makes. Remember Hillary Clinton were complaining by that,
And then of course, sure if you looked at how
she paid her staff. She paid men on her staff
higher than she paid women on her staff. Look. We
pointed out before that if you simply factor in the
number of hours worked and compare job to job, the

(26:13):
wage gap completely disappears. Okay, Well, I ran across some
data from the Federal Reserve Bank in Saint Louis. This
was posted by a Twitter user named Crimea. It's a
blue check poster who regularly looks into data issues. I
would recommend following them. But looking at this data, the
entire wage gap appears to be caused by married men.

(26:38):
What do I mean by that? The graphs that were
posted go from age twenty to age sixty five, and
they graph earnings or the graph wages for married men,
single men, married women, and single women across those years.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
So you're blaming married men. Are married men doing the
hiring and the determination of compensation?

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Nope, don't want to blameing. I'm just saying this. With
the graph show all four of the graphs rise and
how much money is made annually from age twenty up
until about age thirty five, where it tends to plateau off. Okay,
generally single men make as much money at all ages,
as married women and single women generally between forty and

(27:21):
fifty thousand dollars a year for all three groups, but
married men make between seventy to ninety thousand a year.
From age thirty five on, they got.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
More bills, They got more bills to pay, so got
more commitments and obligations. You know, they say that necessity
is the mother of invention, and so I think if
what you're saying, if the data is accurate, it comes
from the Saint Louis fed, then married men have to
figure out how to earn more in order to support

(27:58):
their families.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Men tend to make more per hour, but they also
tend to work more hours. But they tend to but
they tend to work more hours because they have more
bills to pay. And by the way, this is both
white and black married men work closer to forty five
hours a week on average, but both black and white
women work forty hours a week or less, especially married

(28:20):
white women, they work the fewest hours on average per week.
All right, So why you're hinting at one idea why
men do this? There are two basic thoughts, two basic
theories as to why this has Why do married men
make more money than single men, single women or married Well.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Well, you said that they work more overtime, and they do.
That's part of it, I think generally, because women tend
to be the primary caretakers of the children.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Are often the ones who pick the kids up from daycare.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Okay, so they will necessarily be less likely or less
able to work overtime hours.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
But single women they're working that they're working fewer hours
too than men. All Right, So two basic theories on this.
The first theory was that men who make more money
get married. It's one way of looking at this. Women
are attracted to stable, financially well off men right now listening,
So you're basically calling women gold diggers. No, I'm not

(29:21):
calling women gold diggers. What you said that, I did
think did I say the word? You didn't say the word,
but I think you implied it. But you're saying that
women tend to get married to men who make money
make more money. If a man starts making more money,
data has shown that man does become more attractive to women.
There is there is, statistically.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Speaking, another discussion altogether, but that's but that's.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
What Look if if a woman, uh, you know, puts
on makeup, amngos. Oh, it is more attractive. I mean
men men have their own shalloonness. Women have their own shallowness.
Because we're all people, all right, We're all humans. But
women stated data shows ten to be attracted more to
men who are financially stable than men who aren't. Okay,
all right, But perhaps the better reason is that being

(30:08):
married and having kids makes men work harder to provide
for their family. That's another explanation. It focuses their attention
and direction. And frankly, that's the explanation. I think it's
the one that you were talking about, and I think
that's the one that makes more sense. If marriage was
just good for women and not for men, then very

(30:28):
few men would get married. Is that true? Say that again,
if marriage was only good for women but not good
for men, men wouldn't get married.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
That's well, of course not. No one's gonna do something
that is not mutually beneficial. So the truth is that marriages,
generally speak, is generally good for both men and women.
God's plan works, and one of the ways it works
is that it tends to make men more responsible, more reliable,
and more driven to provide. The phone here Okay, you

(30:59):
are you suggesting that women don't work harder to support
their families.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
No, I'm just saying that maybe the way they work
harder to support their families doesn't have as much to
do with being at the office, being at the work,
being at the oil rate. Maybe what they're doing to
support their families is and I don't know, we have
the data, but maybe married women have cleaner houses than
single women. I don't know, but they're going to be
putting their effort into it some other way. This is

(31:27):
just what shows up in the data. You can explain
the entire wage gap because married men tend to be
more focused than they were when they were single.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
I agree with that. I agree with that. But it
looks like this whole gender wage gap discussion is a
lot more complicated than just equal pay.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, it's not about that. It's about choices, it's about hours,
and it's about time. We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (31:56):

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Poward, Lewis sar Avaloni.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
So President Trump, Yeah, has stripped Secret Service protection away
from former Vice President Kamala Harris effective September first, she
loses the high level protection detail that she has enjoyed
since our time as vice president.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
But say, I think the story is getting way too
much play because the real story isn't that Donald Trump's
taking away her Secret Service. The real story is she
got three extra months of Secret Service protection than any
vice president before her the vice president only gets Secret
Service protection for up to six months after they leave office.

(33:56):
Joe Biden signed an executive order saying that would get
it for a full year. Well that that had never
happened before in American restruct and.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
It's I say, ironic, But maybe the timing is unfortunate
for Kamala because she's getting ready to embark on her
nationwide tour for her book One hundred and seven Days,
which describes the length of her running for president.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Okay, but she's made what a million dollars a couple
of million dollars off selling this bot She could afford
her own protection. Why should the American people have to
pay for her protection while she goes on a commercial
venture She's to sell the book. She's a private citizen.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Now she's writing a book, she's giving speeches.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
She's technically not running for office. She said she wasn't
running for governor of California. Why should she have Secret
Service protection when Mike Pence doesn't?

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Right? I mean, so, basically, do you want to pay
millions of dollars so that for protective detail so she
can sell books at Barnes and Noble.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Presidents and their families do get Secret Service protection for
the rest of their lives unless they turn it down.
But vice presidents don't let me six month.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Let me ask you something. I mean, I mean, is
such security? I mean, is there really anyone that even
would know who she is? Oh?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Absolutely, people would absolutely recommend anybody that would go over
to Kamala Harris unless they were a die hard liberal Democrat.
I don't think you can say that there wouldn't be
somebody who might try and do her harm. I mean,
Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked in their home.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Now that's questionable. I mean, that's that's a whole I mean. Nevertheless, Okay,
I get your point. So is this a good thing?
It's a bad thing.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
It's a good thing that we're returning to the norm.
Kamala Harris does not deserve more Secret Service protection than
any other vice president in American history, and she will.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
Still have security. I mean, the DNC, the private donors,
the book publishers, they're all gonna line up to hire
private protection.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Right.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
She's not gonna be wandering around the country alone.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Right, That would be fake news. You are fake news, hey, kids,

that's real news, fake news, or really fake news. Okay,

just a big black slab. I mean, there's just there
was this brutalism nineteen sixties, uh, basic idea of construction,

Speaker 4 (39:40):
Okay, hey kids, that's how we play our game.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Tell us what you score was? Go to our Facebook page,
Facebook dot com slash American Ground Radio and Slabor Day
so you can get quadruple points. Yeah for Labor Day.
It's really cool. All right, we'll be right back Stagram.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avaloni
and Steven Parr.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Welcome back to American Granmado.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Stephen Palmer, Lewis sar eval So apparently the Democrat Party
wants to tell folks on Labor Day. They've got this
ad running about how Americans are paying more for beer
and burgers and that your Labor Day cookout is going
to be more expensive because of Republicans.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
That's not true.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
Yeah, Republican they want. Here's the message of this campaign,
this I don't know advertising campaign from the Democratic Party
is that Republicans are making your grocery trip more expensive.
Republicans are the reason your burgers cost more. Republicans are
the reason that your six pack costs more.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
I kid you not, that's absolutely gas. There's been no
increase in grocery prices this year. The increase in grocery
prices came while Joe Biden was in office.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Exactly odred percent.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
And you know what is down this year gas prices.
So while your trip to the grocery store is about
the same as it was last year, the cost of
the trip to the grocery store in terms of gas
for your car is down. Gas price is actually at
the lowest they've been in a long time.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
So Democrats have no message, no plan, no results, And
so what do they do. They lie, They gaslight, They
point the finger at Republicans, hoping voters will forget what
it was like under Joe Biden here most recently.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
But again, this is why I say the Democrat Party
is the party of projection. Whatever they accuse you of doing,
they've already done. The reason why prices went up. Was
it because of Republicans? It was because of Democrats? And
we got to say whoa.

Speaker 8 (41:53):
When I say whoa, ah, I mean wow.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
David Coffee has the perfect nickname. All of his friends
call him Bean. Bean has been surfing for years, and
at the age of seventy two, he's still at it.
He was out catching some waves this week at Florida's
New Smyrna Beach when he began hearing someone call for help.
Bean saw a man and his son fighting against a
strong rip current. Bean immediately paddled a surfboard over to

(42:20):
where they were, rescuing both father and son before lifeguards
and paramedics could arrive. Bean told the local news this
was definitely a life changing experience, just to be able
to save two lives where they might not have ever
been found. Thank God I was there.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
What a great story.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Seventy two have that kind of strength, very impressive. May
your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

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.
