Congress Has Failed America: 28 Years of Excuses, Corruption, and Chaos | Karel Cast 25-145
For nearly three decades, Congress has failed to do its most basic job — pass a full budget on time. The last time they did? 1997. The last time America actually balanced that budget? 2001. Since then, Congress has survived on stopgaps, continuing resolutions, and backroom deals that keep the lights on but leave the country broken.
While Americans struggle with healthcare costs, gun violence, and rising inequality, Congress plays politics. Roe v. Wade? They could’ve made it law. Single-payer healthcare? They could’ve acted. Tax fairness, climate action, reining in tariffs, or even holding Trump accountable — all in their power, all ignored.
This shutdown and every national crisis like it trace back to one truth: Congress doesn’t work. It’s time we demand accountability from the only branch that’s supposed to represent us — and doesn’t.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Now.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's show side.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
There's a quote from the movie Frankenstein which really thumbs
up how I feel today. We're gonna talk about the
body responsible for most of our troubles and why we
don't do anything about it. On today's show, Let's.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Talk uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's the Corall Cast.

Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Good Tuesday, the Crow Cast. I am Carrel, silvery glad
you are joining me. Well, I watched Frankenstein yesterday sort
of tune out, plus I really wanted to see it
Germo del Toro and my future husband, Jacob Elordi, and
it was just incredible. Of course, it does address who
the monster is. It certainly wasn't the Frankenstein creation. It
(01:20):
was Doctor Frankenstein, who is truly the monster because we
as humans tend to do monstrous things. And there was
quite a quote at the end of Frankenstein by Lord Byron.
For those of you who are illiterate, you'll know who
that is if you're under the age of forty. Look
it up and the quote was the heart will break
(01:45):
and brokenly live on. Wow, that really touched me because
how many times has your heart been completely shattered to
where you just didn't know how you were going to breathe?
And yet you went on? Because the heart will break
and brokenly go on, live on. And that's kind of
(02:08):
how I feel about what happened is happening with the
Democratic Party as it implodes. They had the public on
their side, they had people that weren't being paid on
their side. I have a friend who is a prison guard,
and you know, he hadn't been paid for forty days,
and yet he was mad that they caved. And I thought,
(02:30):
you know, it's just another series of political heartbreaks where
we really are invested in something like many of us
were in Kamala, and then we lose, and you know,
your heart breaks and then it brokenly goes on. Now
there is a danger of blaming Democrats too much, because
(02:52):
that's just what the Republicans want. They want Democrats to
have to own the shutdown. So I watched another movie
or well, was it a movie, No, it was a
mini series. I watched another mini series yesterday, and that
mini series was really really cool, and I'm looking it up.
(03:14):
The name of it, I don't want to get it wrong.
It's called Death by Lightning. Okay, death by Lightning and
Death by Lightning is a historical drama. It's very, very entertaining,
based on the twenty eleven book Destiny of the Republic
by Candice Millard. It stars Michael Shannon as President James A. Garfield,
(03:38):
who I knew nothing about. I don't do you know
anything about him? Or Charles Gutto, who was his assassin.
I didn't know anything. I knew that Garfield was assassinated,
I didn't know anything about him after that, nor did
I know that Chester A. Arthur then became president for
(03:59):
four years. These are two pretty forgotten presidents. And it
was really powerful watching that because it's a historical drama
and it showed that the problems we're having now are
problems that have been around for a long time, and
(04:21):
the causation of a majority of the problems is very simple,
and it's one thing, and if we go back through
our history, it is the one thing that basically we
have in common with every administration from George Washington all
(04:42):
the way up to now. Might any of you know
what that is? Any of you in the chatroom at
YouTube dot com, Forward slash really Correll or my patrons
who I love and adore? Why aren't you a patron
at patreon dot com, Forward slash really Correl? My name
is spelled ka r e L. The one thing that
(05:03):
we have in common with almost every administration from George
Washington up when it comes to governing, Do any of
you know what that is? And when it comes to
the problems of government and why people you and I
we the people end up on the short end of
it so much? Do you know what it is? Do
(05:26):
you know what I'm to what I am referring? I'm
looking for your chats at YouTube dot com, Forward slash
really Correll or your comments down below the video. Do
you know the thing we have in common with so
many of our previous administrations as to why we're in
the mess we're in right now? The mess that we
(05:48):
are in this moment, It's the same reason for messes
throughout history. Anybody want to gander a guest, I'll check.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
You're dot com daily. You're missing out get the podcast
videos and the blug including recipes at really Correll dot com.
That's really K A R E l dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Correll is so near because show time is here.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Correll is the one that.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You need to know, all right, he died. He didy then,
So as watching the historical drama yesterday called Death by Lightning,
which is about James A. Garfield, a president I knew
nothing about. And then Chester A, uh wait, don't let
(06:47):
me get it wrong, because he was a president too,
Chester A. Arthur, who became president after Garfield. In watching,
first of all, it was incredible to see and I
this up. It was historically accurate, a Republican president rallying
(07:08):
for the equality of slaves, rallying for racial equality, talking
about the strength of diversity in our nation. How we
are a stronger nation when slaves and other immigrants are
welcomed and given full rights and full citizenship. It was
remarkable to believe that the Republican Party once stood for that,
(07:31):
and they did. And there's a couple pieces of legislation
that Garfield and Arthur actually put into place that we
still adhere to today. So while they are two of
the most forgotten presidents of our past, they actually did
have some influence. But Garfield, his biggest problem when he
(07:53):
got into office was a particular congressperson or senator who
had to much power and was too big of a
power broker. He was from New York, and it was
Garfield's mission to break up this power structure so they
(08:13):
could actually get something done, so he and the Congress
could work together. Now, I was thinking last night when
I was very angry at the Democrats, and I'm all
rumbling and grumbling a rocket fucker rucka rock afroca, And
I thought to myself, Democrats wouldn't have been put into
this position in the first place. If what if Congress
(08:38):
had done their job? Okay, And I looked up I
did some deep research with chat GPT, and I was like,
when is the last time? Because Congress has an October
deadline to balance the budget and fund all of the
(08:59):
things need to be funded. And when they don't meet
that deadline, they then do these continuing resolutions three months,
six months, and all that does is kick those appropriations
and the discussions needed for those appropriations down the hall
(09:21):
another three months. Another six months, and then when those
continuing resolutions expire, they have to go through these debates
all over again. And that's where partisan politics comes into play,
and they try to tag on different things based on
whoever is president, based on whatever Congress's priorities are at
the time. So the last time that the United States
(09:46):
Congress did their one and only real job outlined they
have two jobs to make and interpret laws and to
handle the purse strings of the country. Those that's what
Congress does. And the last time that they actually got
it all done by October, so there couldn't be any
(10:11):
government shutdowns, continuing resolutions that needed to be extended, et cetera.
Any idea when that was, anybody in the chat room
or in the comments down below, any idea when the
last time Congress actually met the October deadline to appropriate
and fund all areas of the government. Any ideas when
(10:32):
that was? Anybody in the chat room, anybody, you know, anybody, anybody, anybody,
Just take a guess, when was the last time Congress
actually got their job done on time when it was
supposed to be in October for the following fiscal year
to fund the government. When when was the last time anybody,
(10:55):
No one wants to guess? Nine seven, twenty eight years ago.
Is the last time Congress actually did their job and
got all of the appropriations appropriated, got the government funded
(11:17):
by the October deadline? Nineteen ninety seven, twenty eight years ago.
When was the last time they actually balanced the budget
where they did not spend more than they took in?
And that's another part of their job. By the way,
(11:39):
when did that happen? Anybody? Anybody? Anybody there? Oh, there
are some guesses. Twenty fifteen, Oh no, no, no, nope.
Nineteen ninety seven was the last time they got all
the appropriations done by October? And two thousand and one,
twenty four years ago, was the last time they actually
(12:00):
balanced the budget on time and had a surplus instead
of a deficit two thousand and one. Can you imagine?
Can you imagine going to work every day for decades
like Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer or what's his name?
(12:20):
I always want to call him strom Thurman because he's
just as old Mitch McConnell. Can you imagine going to
work every day for decades and not doing your job? Okay,
they haven't balanced a budget in twenty four years, and
(12:41):
now they can't because of a thirty four trillion with
a t dollar deficit, more money than any than America
could ever repay. I don't even know. I guess we
could ask computer, what is thirty four trillion divided by
three hundred and forty million. It's gonna be a big number.
(13:06):
Come in. Yes, every American. At this moment, every American,
every man, woman, child, baby, is in debt. One hundred
thousand dollars. Every American, every one of us, we're all
carrying one hundred thousand dollars in government debt. And the
(13:33):
last time that Congress balanced the budget and ended up
having a surplus was two thousand and one. The last
time they actually got their job done a computer shut up.
The last time that they actually did their jobs and
(13:54):
did the appropriations by nineteen ninety seven, or I mean
by October, was in nineteen ninety seven. Can you imagine
not doing your job for twenty four years and still
getting one hundred and forty thousand dollars a year plus healthcare?
Can you imagine? Can you imagine having a job where
you work less than two hundred days a year and
(14:16):
don't do your job and still have a huge salary
and healthcare, but it doesn't just stop there. Most of
the problems we are having right now and in my
lifetime is because Congress refuses to do their job. Congress
(14:38):
is supposed to be a separate branch of government, separate
from whoever is in the White House. Are they acting
like a separate branch of government right now or are
they acting like they are taking orders from Donald Trump?
Again not doing their job. Their job is to be
(14:59):
a d pendant branch of government that represents we the people.
Congress does not represent the President of the United States.
Congress represents we the people, and they do our business.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
The executive can help drive policy things that the president
really wants to get done, but it takes Congress to
do it. So the Democrats would not have been in
the position where the government was shut down for the
longest in history had their body Congress actually done their job.
(15:42):
Since nineteen ninety seven, over the last twenty eight years,
Congress has not done one of their main duties to
appropriate and fund the government by October. They have been
funding the government for twenty eight years with continuing resolutions,
(16:07):
and they haven't balanced the budget since two thousand and one.
Look it up. What an inept completely useless body. Roe v.
Wade and a woman's right to choose? You all blame
the Supreme Court. Congress never codified Roe v. Wade as law.
(16:31):
It's their fault. Women can't get abortions same sex marriage.
The Supreme Court just declined to rehear that case, but
they could in the future. And whose fault is it
that gays and lesbians have to worry about this with
every regime change? Congress? Whose fault is it that the
(16:53):
billionaires are getting their tax cuts while the poor suffer? Congress?
Whose fault is it that Snap isn't fire? Congress? Whose
fault is it that people on SNAP don't get enough money?
That Social Security people don't get enough money? Congress? Whose
fault is it that insurance premiums are going to triple
(17:16):
for people under the Affordable Care Act? Congress? Why because
they refuse to address single payer medicare for all. Almost
every problem that we can have in this country and
we can talk about goes back to an impotent, partisan,
(17:36):
broken Congress. Why do we have the horrible Supreme Court
that we have because Congress approved judges that sat there
and lied to them, and they refuse to impeach those
very judges, which is within their power. Congress can impeach
Supreme Court Justices's happened twice before. Once the guy was removed.
(18:01):
The second time he resigned before they actually impeached him.
Congress could fix the court, not the president. Congress. Congress
could help most of us out of the problems that
we are in through real, groundbreaking legislation. They will not.
(18:24):
Why is climate change an issue? Congress? They refuse to
pass any real reform and stick to it. In fact,
the one body, look, a president's going to behave like
a president behaves. They're going to be partisan. They're going
to some of them are stupid, idiot people. They're going
(18:45):
to be what they are. That's why the founders gave
us the courts and Congress. But Congress has been so
irreparably broken for so long and not doing its job
for so long that we now have a broken nation.
(19:06):
That is the real issue. It's not about eight Democrats caving.
It's about one hundred senators not once having a budget
done by April, I'm sorry, by October. It's about one
hundred senators not balancing the budget. It's about four hundred
plus congress people in the House doing the same. This
(19:33):
isn't about eight people one time. This is about a
continual failure of the House and the Senate to do
their jobs. And we let them. We let them. We
re elect the people who are not doing their jobs.
We re elect the partisans who are taking loyalty or
(19:54):
fielty test to the president and not to we the people.
I don't want a congress person loyal to any president.
I don't want a Democrat loyal to whoever the Democratic
president is. I want them loyal to us, to you
and me. And they're not. They're loyal to their party
and they're loyal to their president. Where are we in
(20:17):
that picture. They can't even balance our budget, the thing
they're supposed to do. More than anything, they can't even
get their job done by October, not just once, but
for twenty eight years. Don't you wish you had a
job you could be that inept? What have they done?
(20:40):
Each of them has become millionaires, They've done that. Each
of them has written books, gone on tours. They've done that. Oh,
and campaigned, raised money for their campaigns. They've done that.
What haven't they done, balance the budget, pass all the
resolutions by October, reign in a seated president that's out
(21:02):
of control, make laws instead of leaving it to the
Supreme Court to make them. They didn't integrade schools, brown
be the Board of Education did. Congress has been on
the sidelines of some of the greatest social movements in history.
(21:23):
It's their fault, all of it, and every one of them,
not just a few.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Now is show side.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Oh, we have a Congress that's broken and has been
for decades, decades, like just perpetually broken. And when one
of your if you've got a tricycle, which is what
the United States is, executive, legislative, judicial, we're a tricycle.
We're a tripod in order for us to stand on
(22:23):
top of our government, for our government to support our country.
It has three legs. It's a tripod. One of those
legs Congress has been broken forever, so we've been teetering
on two legs, really, and the judicial is now broken.
So literally we are a monopod, and the only leg
(22:47):
we're standing on Donald Trump's. That's why things are as
bad as they are. The tripod that supports the weight
of the United States has been broken forever, and what
do we do to fix it? Well, we should get
rid of everyone, and I mean that, get rid of
(23:10):
more than half of Congress, of the House and the Senate.
More than half of them should go, probably three quarters
of them, truly, three quarters of them should go. Number two.
Term limits twelve years. That's it all you can serve
after that, get the frack out term limits, start a
(23:32):
new cleanse it all. Term limit them to twelve years.
Term limit the Supreme Court to twelve years, and do
not pay them. Their pay stops if they don't balance
the budget and have all of the appropriations done in
(23:54):
the appropriate year. See how quickly they'd come to some agreements.
Then not one dime past October fifth. If you don't
have the government funded in full, no continuing resolutions, all
of it done, no pay, we'd save a fortune. Cut
their pay. The same goes for balancing the budget. If
(24:18):
in the fiscal year you cannot balance the budget, you
do not get paid. We need to treat them like
the employees that they are. Instead, in this new bill
they're pushing through, they're giving themselves six hundred million dollars
and I'm not making that up. What a shame. Congress
(24:39):
needs to be completely revamped, and it needs to not
be paid. If they're not going to do their job.
What have they done over the last forty days? Most
of them haven't even been in Washington, DC, and we
still paid them. They got paid. Air traffic controllers didn't,
(24:59):
prison guards didn't. Congress did. They're deemed essential essential? Well,
from what I just brought up, not only are they
not essential, but they're pretty useless. What laws have they
made that actually benefit you? What loss? What laws can
(25:22):
you think of in the last ten years that Congress
has enacted that actually help you. I've I'm at a loss.
I'm sure I could find a couple. But they did
make animal cruelty a felony. There's that. What else? Did
they give you health insurance for everybody? No? No, they
(25:45):
bailed out their banks, They bailed out their rich friends.
They cut taxes on their wealthy friends. Did they lower
the cost of anything for you? No? Did they give
you more benefits in your medicare or so secured? No?
What did they do? What have they done? It's time
we start asking what have they done for us lately?
(26:09):
And the answer is not much? So why do we
keep electing them. Why do we keep putting them in?
Why do we even have them? If it's not going
to act like a separate branch of government, if they're
not going to really do their job, we could save
millions and billion. Just eliminate them. Just go to a
different system, Go to a parliamentary system, you know whatever.
(26:33):
Have the fifty governors be the Congress. Have the fifty
governors vote on all the bills and vote on all
the laws. Get rid of these separate lawmakers. They can't
balance a budget, they can't get appropriations done on time,
they can't pass meaningful laws. They rely on the courts
to do the heavy lifting, and they refuse to reign
(26:55):
in presidents that are out of control. They let George W.
Bush go to war in Iraq, something we know was
uncalled for. They let George W. Bush go to war
in Afghanistan, something we know was uncalled for. They let
Ronald Reagan do his trickle down economics, something we know
did not work. They let Ronald Reagan ignore AIDS, pass
(27:19):
no legislation to help persons with AIDS. They haven't protected minorities,
they haven't fixed the immigration system. Only Congress can allocate
funds to fix the immigration system. Only Congress can put
forth legislation and reforms on how to reform the immigration system.
(27:44):
They haven't done it at all since well eighteen hundred.
I know because I just watched this show Death by
Lightning about James Garfield. Immigration was one of his and
Chester A whatever where the second president was chester A somebody.
Why can't I remember him Chester A Arthur because he
(28:05):
has two for its names. You know, immigration was the
problem for them. Garfield wanted to treat immigrants nicely. Chester A.
Arthur decided not to. But whatever the case may be,
two hundred and twenty five years later and we're still
(28:26):
having the same problem. We've had many presidents since then,
but it's been Congress. It's really time to concentrate more
on Congress than on the president because ultimately Congress has
more power than the president. And if they wanted to,
they could save us from Donald Trump tomorrow. They can
(28:49):
impeach Amy Conan Barrett. They could impeach every every Supreme
Court justice that lied to them when they asked about
Roe v. Wade. They could impeach them for lying under oath.
They could kick them out. They could actually remove members
who are too old. They're allowed to remove members. They
could remove members. They could actually pass term limits for
(29:13):
themselves and the Supreme Court. They won't. The one body
in the United States that has refused to hold its
undo the bargain Congress, because they're all a bunch of
narcissistic opportunists who don't care about us. Once we get
(29:34):
them there, they forget them, only remember themselves. Yeah, that's
the problem.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
So we are We're a democratic republic, you know. And
last night. While watching Death by Lightning, I was reminded
that it used to be the state senators that actually
chose the senators. You didn't elect the senator that went
to DC. You elected your state senators. They elected the
senator that went off to d C. There's something to it,
(31:22):
perhaps you know. I just I don't know. I just
know our system's not working. Everything is broken, and Trump
is destroying so much. You know that we need to
move forward. And when we move forward, we can't keep
doing it the same way. There has to be a
penalty for Congress if they don't do their job. There
(31:44):
has to be They're not going to penalize themselves. We're
going to have to make Congress responsible. We're gonna have
to push for legislation that says if you don't have
the appropriations done enough, and if you don't have a
balanced budget done in October, you don't get paid until
(32:07):
you do. They wouldn't have been paid for the last
twenty eight years. And that's the truth. No one in
Congress would have been paid for the last twenty eight years.
Speaking of twenty We're not going back. Written by Yours
Truly and sung by thea Austin went from number twenty
five on the Music Week chart in the UK to
(32:29):
number twenty. We rose five spots this week. I now
can officially say I am the writer of a top
twenty dance hit. I now let me explain why there's
no money in that. DJs get the records free, okay,
and streaming only pays point zero zero four cents per
(32:54):
stream even a million streams. If a million people streamed,
we're not going back. We'd get four thousand dollars. I
would have gotten a million before if a million streamed
from radio and from you know, if people bought a
million singles. But no, nope, Now a million streams four
(33:18):
thousand dollars. I haven't gotten even four dollars. So it's
great that it's number twenty on the chart. But music
is no longer profitable because you used to hope that
the chart would then get them to go buy the record. Well,
now no one buys records, so even if they go
stream it, there's no money there. In order to make
(33:40):
four hundred thousand dollars, we would need one hundred million streams.
Very few artists except Taylor and you know a few
others get that. But for the most part. Yeah, no,
no money in it, but it's really cool to say
that in my lifetime, I can now say I wrote
a top twenty dancit. I always wanted to sing a
(34:02):
top twenty dance it. And I think my next single
I dance because I just got the new remix yesterday
by Dirty Disco, who's kind of famous, so I think
that's gonna be great. But yes, we're not going back.
And I listened to it again last night. What an
anthem it is. You know, we're not going back. We're
not giving in. We are going to fight. If we fight,
(34:23):
we win. You see the world so different, a very
weird worldview. You don't want real progress for anyone. But
you you say we must go back regression to the past.
I say we must move forward to make our union last.
The past that you remember, for many wasn't great. The
(34:43):
past that you remember is often filled with hate. So
we are looking forward. Progression is the key loving one
another and letting others be. I mean when I wrote it,
I wrote the hell out of that song. It's an
anthem that we need still, But you know, are we
(35:05):
going to get it? Are we going to move forward?
Or are we going to go back. We can move
forward without Congress. And they don't seem to want to
do their job, you know, yep, no, you know, truly,
we just don't demand that they do their job. I
would not be paid as a talk show host if
(35:28):
for twenty eight years I didn't do a show. Oh
I had the time spot, but every time you tuned
in there was nothing. I wasn't doing my job. I
wouldn't be paid. They are. They're paid for not doing
their job. Isn't that just a remarkable thing, to be
paid for not doing the job. I still, you know,
(35:50):
I was so intrigued by this program last night that
I watched Death by Lightning. I want to tell you
a little bit when we come back about it to President,
you didn't know you're missing, And how I wish the
goop now?
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Really Correll dot com, I was shocked. It's really k
A R E. L dot Com.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Correll is so near because show time is here.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
The path that you remember for many wasn't great. The
path that you remember was off and filled with hate,
you know you gotta eat right. I'm I'm fasting today.
My day today is two shows. I'm going to tape
a show today in case I don't get back from
the Kansas surgery tomorrow. Uh in time uh, and then
(36:54):
I'm fasting. So at three o'clock I can go get
fasting labs because I thought I don't want to get
labs after having cancer taken off my back and my
physical is Monday. So yeah. So I did a meal
plan hundred grams of protein a day, and I was
just going over it in the break to see what
I'm having when I break the fast today, I'm gonna
(37:15):
have cabbage roll soup with sitan. No, I gotta make
the side tan, so forget that. Instead, I'm gonna have
caribbean black beans and lentils. That's what I'm gonna have,
a tropical spicy black bean and lentil served with rice
and a fresh mango papaya salad. Ooh, that'll be for
what I'm having this afternoon, honey. Or I'll just stop
(37:36):
someplace on my way home from the labs and I
will I'll start all this tomorrow because day that's day one.
Cabbage roll soup with si tan caribbean black beans and lentils.
Day two is Harisa with red lentils and tofu. And
I don't know where the rest of the days are.
They are not here, but they are somewhere, so I
(38:00):
will find them. Or oh maybe it only did two days.
I don't even know. I don't even know. I'll have
to check. But it gave me a shop No, it
gave me a shopping list for the week, So I
I must have just not printed out the rest, all right.
But that's him. That fun. That's what I'm gonna see.
This is my meal planning. I I print out meal plans.
(38:24):
I go into Forks over Knives, which is a vegan thing, uh,
And then I get their meal plan that I pay for.
Then I feed it into chat GPT and tell chat
GPT to adjust the recipes so it's one hundred one
hundred grands of protein a day. Then I take those
recipes and adjust them and make them my own, do
(38:46):
my own thing with them. And that's how I eat
if I don't eat out. But I gotta tell you,
I you know the prices, you know there's a solid Well,
how does that affect the price of tea? In China
yesterday because of your birthday gifts, I went to Harney,
Harney and Son's Tea. That's the tea I drink because
(39:06):
it's time to redo my tea. I drink a lot
of tea, a lot, two pots a day. And yesterday,
I you know, clicked on Irish Breakfast and clicked one
pound of loose leaf tea. Thirty two dollars for one
pound of loose leaf tea. Yesterday I bought seven different
(39:28):
loose leaf teas one pound each and with shipping it
was two hundred and thirty six dollars for seven types
of tea. Now that will last me about four to
five months. So I only do this twice a year,
maybe three times a year, but even at twice a year,
(39:52):
that's almost fifty bucks a month for tea. Because tea
is thirty two dollars a pound. That's more than coffee.
That's you know, that's more than coffee. And why tariffs
which so James Garfield president that I was talking about
(40:15):
in the Death by Lightning, as well as Arthur I
keep forgetting his name, they actually crafted Chester. Arthur actually
crafted some of the tariff legislation that we have today.
When I was watching this, I thought, how could two
(40:37):
forgotten presidents still be so present in government? We don't
even really know who they were now. As for Garfield,
James A. Garfield, he was assassinated by Charles Gutteaux, shot
on the back in a train station. And he wouldn't
have died. Get this, He would not have died if
(41:03):
the doctor treating him had used proper anesthetic procedures, which
a black doctor on scene was trying to tell the
white doctor, and the white doctor wouldn't listen to him,
and subsequently he died of sepsis, which he wouldn't have died.
He would not have died from the bullet wound if
(41:24):
proper antiseptic had been used and procedures, but instead they didn't,
and so he died of sepsis. And he died only
nine eight or nine months into his presidency. And he
was a good guy, James Garfield. He was for civil rights,
(41:45):
he was for immigrants rights, he was for making sure
that the freed slaves could now incorporate into society as
free men. And he was a Republican. I could not,
I thought, are you kidding me? A Republican believe these things?
(42:06):
But he did, he truly did. He loved his wife.
He served in the Civil War. He fought at all
kinds of commands and battles, very brave. He served in
Congress and he didn't want to be president. At the
Republican Convention of eighteen hundred, they were supposed to renominate
(42:31):
President Grant, but people didn't like him. They didn't like
the hold that this one New York senator had over him.
So out of the blue, because Garfield made this really
cool speech introducing someone that he was going to champion,
they went for him instead. He supported black suffrage as
(42:55):
firmly as he supported abolition. He sought the rapid restoration
of Southern States. Isn't that something?
Speaker 3 (43:05):
I mean?
Speaker 4 (43:06):
This guy was a great guy. If he'd ha lived, hope,
you know, he would have probably done great things. He
opposed the proposed impeachment of Johnson a senator in Congress.
On January seventh, he voted in support of the resolution
that launched the first impeachment inquiry. Wow, that's something. I mean.
(43:30):
He made a lot of history, but people don't know
who he was. And tariffs he was really Throughout his
political career, Garfield favored the gold standard and decried attempts
to increase the money supply through issuance of paper money
not backed by gold, and later through the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. In eighteen sixty five he was
(43:51):
put on the House and House Ways and Means Committee, saying,
you know, we got to keep our money strong. He
gave a two hour speech about currency that interesting tariffs
had been raised to high levels during the Civil War. Afterwards, Garfield,
who made a close study of financial affairs, advocated moving
(44:14):
towards free trade. It broke with Republican tradition. The guy
was he's a good guy, James A. Garfield, and he
was a Republican and had this lunatic gutteau and he
was insane. He killed him because he thought that Chester
(44:37):
Arthur was going to offer him a position in government.
He wasn't. This guy was crazy. He met Chester Arthur
once and he thought if he killed Garfield that he
would then get a position under Arthur. He was insane
and he was hung by the neck until dead for
killing Ultimately, but it was really the doctor that killed
(44:58):
Garfield sho It really didn't kill him. It was the
infection from the shot that killed him, and then Chester Arthur,
who had previously been this sort of grifting person, actually
because of Garfield's death, became a better president than he
was a vice president. Very interesting stuff. People with integrity,
(45:21):
people trying to get the job done, people who tried
to work across party lines, and people who knew how
to work with Congress. Very interesting. You should watch. It's
called Death by Lightning, the true story of James Garfield
and one of our forgotten presidents. And Chester A. Arthur,
(45:43):
another forgotten president who actually did good things. And if
the US lasted another couple hundred years, Donald Trump will
be a forgotten president. He will be. And that's what
they fear the most, is being forgotten. But Donald Trump
will be forgotten. He will be erased like Hitler. Hitler
(46:06):
nowadays to a group, and you know most people today,
young kids. You mentioned Hitler. They know the name, but
they really don't know what he did, how he did it.
They couldn't tell you about his battles, his victories, his losses.
They just know he got viciously defeated and was a
bad guy. That's all they know. So he's remembered, but
not how he would want to be. And Trump will
(46:27):
be remembered, but not how he wants to be. He
will be the villain in this particular era when the era,
when the story of this era is told, Donald Trump
will be the villain. But so will Congress. So will Congress.
(46:47):
So what else?
Speaker 5 (46:48):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (46:49):
President Washington? Oppost t taxes, Yes, tariffs, the Boston Tea Party.
It's about a tariff, and now there should be another
one because Harney and Sons tea is thirty one dollars pound.
I'm not going to throw it into Andy River. It's
too expensive.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
James A. Garfield was also about helping the Native Americans.
He felt we were treating the Native Americans badly and
that we should treat them better. A Republican So Republicans
aren't all bad. Obviously, at least historically. Somehow the party
went awry. But it appears there can be good people
(47:33):
in the Republican Party. I don't know if late who,
but it does appear that there was a time where
there were good people in their party. Isn't that something?
All right? What's going on in the chatroom at YouTube
dot com? Forward slash really Correll? I don't think you
can blame people like Bernie Yeah, I kind of can
(47:55):
term limits require a constitutional amendment? Let's do it. Let's
get her done. It's not like we can't. We've made
plenty of amendments. There's like twenty plus of them. Put
them in jail if they don't do their jobs. I agree.
I'd be all for that jail Congress until it does
its actual job. That or just ask for our money back.
(48:15):
Say no, you got to rebate us your salary. Every big, evil,
moneysucking corporation would fire any of our asses for not
doing work for a week. Yep, yep, we'd all be
fired if we behave like Congress, all of us. There's
not one American that could go to work and not
do their job for twenty eight years, not one. But
(48:39):
remember the last time that they got the government funded
and all the appropriations done in October of the year
they were supposed to be doing it for was nineteen
ninety seven. And the last time they balanced the budget
two thousand and one, twenty four years and twenty eight
years and twenty four years. So basically, for two and
(49:00):
a half decades, Congress has not done their job. Ain't
that something? Ain't that a trip? And yet they keep
getting paid they keep giving themselves raises. They live on
lots of money, have great health care. They don't have
to live on, you know, public benefits like they should.
(49:24):
Trump calls the Senate bill to end the shutdown a
very big victory as he criticizes the Democrats. Newsom tells
the AP that the eight senators who struck the shutdown
deal aren't alarmed enough about Trump. You think you think
(49:46):
it's all such bad news, isn't it? The heart will
break and brokenly live on Lord Byron, But it is,
it's all bad news. Trump floats tariff dividends right Pakistan
Taliban claim responsibility for terror attack. Great anxiety disorders tied
(50:10):
to low levels of nutrients in your brain. Great Trump
seventy nine panics about losing his Supreme Court fight in
the late night rant. We don't know if he's lost
it yet. Have they ruled on the tariffs yet? Are
they going to wait until he's out of office to rule
on that? I mean, really, why is it so hard,
(50:30):
you know, to say they're not legal? I love this story.
Man makes mother in law sleep apart using their own
house rules in laws so whenever he and his wife
goes to his in law's house. They don't let him
sleep in the same room even though they're married. So
the in laws came to visit him and his wife.
He made them sleep in different rooms. I love that. Oh,
(50:55):
Al Roker has prostate cancer, still alive. That's good. Uh,
America is self defeating China policy? Great? See is there
anything good in here? Is there anything good in here? Anything?
I'll keep looking. I'll be right back. I'm trying to
(51:15):
find some good news. Nothing yet, I'll keep looking. Com searching.
Speaker 3 (51:43):
Now is show?
Speaker 4 (52:00):
Yeah, that's right, that's right, James Snabel. They get one
hundred and forty K year, but they retire with millions, Like,
how is that possible? You know, grift all a grift?
So what's in this bill? Let's see? Uh, I don't know.
Trump is suing the the BBC for a billion dollars
(52:23):
because he's doctor evil. One billion dollars. He won't win,
but you know, and where are the damages? He's mad
because they edited a January sixth speech that showed him
inciting violence and they edited out parts to make it
look like, you know, one continuous speech. So he wants
a billion dollars for defamation. Where's the damages. He has
(52:46):
never been prosecuted for January sixth, and he is president.
He won the presidency. So where are the damages? That's
what a judge will say. How are you defamed? Where
are the damages? Why people keep giving this fucker money?
Will never understand. Why won't anyone stand up to this man?
These eight democrats folded and bent on, over held their
(53:09):
heels up in the air and said, come on, shove
it in me, Gop. Why I don't get it. He's
an eighty year old orange buffoon with bad hair, can't
talk dementia, and no one stands up to him. I
don't get it. I'll never understand. I don't I said
(53:35):
I was looking for good news. Let's look under entertainment.
Oh no, Sally Kirkland has died or no. Award winning
star placed in hospice care. No, she died. Sally Kirkland,
veteran actress and Oscar nominee, dies at eighty four. Oh bye,
Sally Kirkland. See you. Cause of death revealed for rock
(53:58):
and roll legend from Kiss Yeah, don and hit his
Head blund Ford drama You Know. On the opening of
season twenty seven of Law and Order, Resvu. Marishka Hargatea
says to Chris Maloney, We've entered that phase of all
of our friends are dying. All the actors and actresses
that I watch growing up and musicians, they're all dropping dead. Now.
(54:20):
Matthew McConaughey and Michael Kain Inc. Deals for AI generated
versions of themselves. Oh God, there we go. So now
there'll be Michael Kain movies in thirty years, new ones. Great, great, wonderful.
Where's the good news? I'm trying to find some in
the entertainment news, but there's not even any good news
(54:42):
in that Lord Valeri Burton, Ellie, it's become a blonde
looks good, Okay, anything else?
Speaker 7 (54:51):
No.
Speaker 4 (54:53):
Tasuya Nakadai, Japanese star known for Ran and other films,
dies at ninety two. See it's like, no good news
come on anywhere. No, I'm trying to find it under health.
Any good news in the health department. Let's check, ah, No,
(55:19):
no cancer gone in three months, new drug melts, tumors. Okay,
that's probably only some cancers and some drugs, and who
knows how long before we get them. But oh, bladder cancer, okay,
that must be horrible bladder cancer. Well, what cancer is good?
I have cancer. I'm getting it removed tomorrow. No clear
link between a cinnamonifin during pregnancy and autism. No shit,
(55:41):
they should sue Trump for If he sues the BBC
for a billion dollars, then the makers of a cinnamonifin
should sue him for a billion dollars because they've actually
been defined. And if you have a fib like I do,
not only have they found that caffeine isn't bad for you,
but actually it might help with aphib Isn't that something
(56:01):
new study? Coffee and tea actually may protect the heart
from APHEB instead of triggering it. Some people they are
triggered by it, but a majority of people are not,
and it's actually protective. That's good news. I found two
good news stories. Are we happy about that? Two found two?
Two good ones? All right? I will be here tomorrow.
(56:21):
Whether it's taped or live, I don't know yet. It
really depends on how long the mose surgery on my
back takes. If I get done and get out of
there and can get here and I'm not in pain,
and you know, it all works out great. Otherwise there'll
be a pre taped show, which I'll tape this afternoon
so it'll be current, but we'll see. But I will
(56:43):
be here tomorrow one way or one way or another.
I'm gonna talk, Yeah, I'm gonna talk right to you,
to you, to you one way maybe next week, so
that's happening, and then of course be back on Thursday
as well. I am Corell. You'll be who you want
to be, something to hurt anybody, and what else we
do in today, that's it. I'm done. I'm a Top twenty,
(57:03):
I'm a Top twenty songwriter. I'm done. I'm done with
you all. I'm getting getting. I need you all, especially
my patrons Patreon dot com forwards lash. Really, Carrell, I'm
going to try to do a patron call this weekend,
last weekend with my birth. Oh, Veterans Day. If you're
a veteran. It's Veterans Day today. If you're a veteran,
have a good day. If you know a veteran, I
(57:27):
hope they have a good day and thank veterans for
their service. Today. It is Veterans Day, not Memorial Day,
which is for dead veterans. Today is to honor live
veterans and veterans who passed, but mostly live veterans. So
if you're a live veteran, we honor you for your service.
We thank you for your service. And I hope you
(57:48):
have a really good day and do something. I don't
know what do you do on Veterans Day? Well, the
banks are closed, the government offices are closed. What do
you do? Do you go, like have a party? Is
there like Veterans Day Happy Hours? Or you go to
VFW Maybe I don't. I don't know do we I mean,
do you celebrate? I don't really celebrate Veterans Day? Is
it a celebratory day? Just go hug a veteran?
Speaker 1 (58:13):
Really?
Speaker 4 (58:13):
I would you know? What do you do for Veterans Day?
I don't know any veterans, like personally and not anymore
so I mean, should I just go find one and
hug him, her him, whichever? But it is Veterans Day.
It is Veterans Day, and I hope you had a
good one or are going to have a good one,
and remember that when you go out today and you
(58:35):
go to the post office and realize it's closed. I said,
the park this morning and there was no cars at
the pool, like none, like zero I'm like, what's going on?
And though they're not working on the baseball diamonds, I'm like,
what's going on? What's up? Then I realized it's Veterans Day.
(58:56):
So yes, it's a sort of halfy holiday. And why
isn't it on the Monday? How could you know? Who
gets to decide what holidays are on a Monday? And
then what holidays is gonna be on a Tuesday. If
we're gonna have Monday holidays, make them all Monday. Here
we have Veterans Day straggling along on a Tuesday, like,
(59:18):
all right, we'll see you all tomorrow. Oh yeah, Wicked
comes out soon. That is good news. Part two very
poignant and Jeff Goldblum became a vegan after filming the
Wicked movie because of the vegans that are involved. Cynthia Rivo,
Area Bron, the director, they're all vegans and it's really
about animal rights. Wicked is so yeah, he became a vegan,
(59:43):
Jeff Goldblum did.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Corilla is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Now.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's show side.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
There's a quote from the movie Frankenstein which really thumbs
up how I feel today. We're gonna talk about the
body responsible for most of our troubles and why we
don't do anything about it. On today's show, Let's.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Talk uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's the Corall Cast.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Good Tuesday, the Crow Cast. I am Carrel, silvery glad
you are joining me. Well, I watched Frankenstein yesterday sort
of tune out, plus I really wanted to see it
Germo del Toro and my future husband, Jacob Elordi, and
it was just incredible. Of course, it does address who
the monster is. It certainly wasn't the Frankenstein creation. It
(01:20):
was Doctor Frankenstein, who is truly the monster because we
as humans tend to do monstrous things. And there was
quite a quote at the end of Frankenstein by Lord Byron.
For those of you who are illiterate, you'll know who
that is if you're under the age of forty. Look
it up and the quote was the heart will break
(01:45):
and brokenly live on. Wow, that really touched me because
how many times has your heart been completely shattered to
where you just didn't know how you were going to breathe?
And yet you went on? Because the heart will break
and brokenly go on, live on. And that's kind of
(02:08):
how I feel about what happened is happening with the
Democratic Party as it implodes. They had the public on
their side, they had people that weren't being paid on
their side. I have a friend who is a prison guard,
and you know, he hadn't been paid for forty days,
and yet he was mad that they caved. And I thought,
(02:30):
you know, it's just another series of political heartbreaks where
we really are invested in something like many of us
were in Kamala, and then we lose, and you know,
your heart breaks and then it brokenly goes on. Now
there is a danger of blaming Democrats too much, because
(02:52):
that's just what the Republicans want. They want Democrats to
have to own the shutdown. So I watched another movie
or well, was it a movie, No, it was a
mini series. I watched another mini series yesterday, and that
mini series was really really cool, and I'm looking it up.
(03:14):
The name of it, I don't want to get it wrong.
It's called Death by Lightning. Okay, death by Lightning and
Death by Lightning is a historical drama. It's very, very entertaining,
based on the twenty eleven book Destiny of the Republic
by Candice Millard. It stars Michael Shannon as President James A. Garfield,
(03:38):
who I knew nothing about. I don't do you know
anything about him? Or Charles Gutto, who was his assassin.
I didn't know anything. I knew that Garfield was assassinated,
I didn't know anything about him after that, nor did
I know that Chester A. Arthur then became president for
(03:59):
four years. These are two pretty forgotten presidents. And it
was really powerful watching that because it's a historical drama
and it showed that the problems we're having now are
problems that have been around for a long time, and
(04:21):
the causation of a majority of the problems is very simple,
and it's one thing, and if we go back through
our history, it is the one thing that basically we
have in common with every administration from George Washington all
(04:42):
the way up to now. Might any of you know
what that is? Any of you in the chatroom at
YouTube dot com, Forward slash really Correll or my patrons
who I love and adore? Why aren't you a patron
at patreon dot com, Forward slash really Correl? My name
is spelled ka r e L. The one thing that
(05:03):
we have in common with almost every administration from George
Washington up when it comes to governing, Do any of
you know what that is? And when it comes to
the problems of government and why people you and I
we the people end up on the short end of
it so much? Do you know what it is? Do
(05:26):
you know what I'm to what I am referring? I'm
looking for your chats at YouTube dot com, Forward slash
really Correll or your comments down below the video. Do
you know the thing we have in common with so
many of our previous administrations as to why we're in
the mess we're in right now? The mess that we
(05:48):
are in this moment, It's the same reason for messes
throughout history. Anybody want to gander a guest, I'll check.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
You're dot com daily. You're missing out get the podcast
videos and the blug including recipes at really Correll dot com.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Correll is the one that.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You need to know, all right, he died. He didy then,
So as watching the historical drama yesterday called Death by Lightning,
which is about James A. Garfield, a president I knew
nothing about. And then Chester A, uh wait, don't let
(06:47):
me get it wrong, because he was a president too,
Chester A. Arthur, who became president after Garfield. In watching,
first of all, it was incredible to see and I
this up. It was historically accurate, a Republican president rallying
(07:08):
for the equality of slaves, rallying for racial equality, talking
about the strength of diversity in our nation. How we
are a stronger nation when slaves and other immigrants are
welcomed and given full rights and full citizenship. It was
remarkable to believe that the Republican Party once stood for that,
(07:31):
and they did. And there's a couple pieces of legislation
that Garfield and Arthur actually put into place that we
still adhere to today. So while they are two of
the most forgotten presidents of our past, they actually did
have some influence. But Garfield, his biggest problem when he
(07:53):
got into office was a particular congressperson or senator who
had to much power and was too big of a
power broker. He was from New York, and it was
Garfield's mission to break up this power structure so they
(08:13):
could actually get something done, so he and the Congress
could work together. Now, I was thinking last night when
I was very angry at the Democrats, and I'm all
rumbling and grumbling a rocket fucker rucka rock afroca, And
I thought to myself, Democrats wouldn't have been put into
this position in the first place. If what if Congress
(08:38):
had done their job? Okay, And I looked up I
did some deep research with chat GPT, and I was like,
when is the last time? Because Congress has an October
deadline to balance the budget and fund all of the
(08:59):
things need to be funded. And when they don't meet
that deadline, they then do these continuing resolutions three months,
six months, and all that does is kick those appropriations
and the discussions needed for those appropriations down the hall
(09:21):
another three months. Another six months, and then when those
continuing resolutions expire, they have to go through these debates
all over again. And that's where partisan politics comes into play,
and they try to tag on different things based on
whoever is president, based on whatever Congress's priorities are at
the time. So the last time that the United States
(09:46):
Congress did their one and only real job outlined they
have two jobs to make and interpret laws and to
handle the purse strings of the country. Those that's what
Congress does. And the last time that they actually got
it all done by October, so there couldn't be any
(10:11):
government shutdowns, continuing resolutions that needed to be extended, et cetera.
Any idea when that was, anybody in the chat room
or in the comments down below, any idea when the
last time Congress actually met the October deadline to appropriate
and fund all areas of the government. Any ideas when
(10:32):
that was? Anybody in the chat room, anybody, you know, anybody, anybody, anybody,
Just take a guess, when was the last time Congress
actually got their job done on time when it was
supposed to be in October for the following fiscal year
to fund the government. When when was the last time anybody,
(10:55):
No one wants to guess? Nine seven, twenty eight years ago.
Is the last time Congress actually did their job and
got all of the appropriations appropriated, got the government funded
(11:17):
by the October deadline? Nineteen ninety seven, twenty eight years ago.
When was the last time they actually balanced the budget
where they did not spend more than they took in?
And that's another part of their job. By the way,
(11:39):
when did that happen? Anybody? Anybody? Anybody there? Oh, there
are some guesses. Twenty fifteen, Oh no, no, no, nope.
Nineteen ninety seven was the last time they got all
the appropriations done by October? And two thousand and one,
twenty four years ago, was the last time they actually
(12:00):
balanced the budget on time and had a surplus instead
of a deficit two thousand and one. Can you imagine?
Can you imagine going to work every day for decades
like Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer or what's his name?
(12:20):
I always want to call him strom Thurman because he's
just as old Mitch McConnell. Can you imagine going to
work every day for decades and not doing your job? Okay,
they haven't balanced a budget in twenty four years, and
(12:41):
now they can't because of a thirty four trillion with
a t dollar deficit, more money than any than America
could ever repay. I don't even know. I guess we
could ask computer, what is thirty four trillion divided by
three hundred and forty million. It's gonna be a big number.
(13:06):
Come in. Yes, every American. At this moment, every American,
every man, woman, child, baby, is in debt. One hundred
thousand dollars. Every American, every one of us, we're all
carrying one hundred thousand dollars in government debt. And the
(13:33):
last time that Congress balanced the budget and ended up
having a surplus was two thousand and one. The last
time they actually got their job done a computer shut up.
The last time that they actually did their jobs and
(13:54):
did the appropriations by nineteen ninety seven, or I mean
by October, was in nineteen ninety seven. Can you imagine
not doing your job for twenty four years and still
getting one hundred and forty thousand dollars a year plus healthcare?
Can you imagine? Can you imagine having a job where
you work less than two hundred days a year and
(14:16):
don't do your job and still have a huge salary
and healthcare, but it doesn't just stop there. Most of
the problems we are having right now and in my
lifetime is because Congress refuses to do their job. Congress
(14:38):
is supposed to be a separate branch of government, separate
from whoever is in the White House. Are they acting
like a separate branch of government right now or are
they acting like they are taking orders from Donald Trump?
Again not doing their job. Their job is to be
(14:59):
a d pendant branch of government that represents we the people.
Congress does not represent the President of the United States.
Congress represents we the people, and they do our business.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
The executive can help drive policy things that the president
really wants to get done, but it takes Congress to
do it. So the Democrats would not have been in
the position where the government was shut down for the
longest in history had their body Congress actually done their job.
(15:42):
Since nineteen ninety seven, over the last twenty eight years,
Congress has not done one of their main duties to
appropriate and fund the government by October. They have been
funding the government for twenty eight years with continuing resolutions,
(16:07):
and they haven't balanced the budget since two thousand and one.
Look it up. What an inept completely useless body. Roe v.
Wade and a woman's right to choose? You all blame
the Supreme Court. Congress never codified Roe v. Wade as law.
(16:31):
It's their fault. Women can't get abortions same sex marriage.
The Supreme Court just declined to rehear that case, but
they could in the future. And whose fault is it
that gays and lesbians have to worry about this with
every regime change? Congress? Whose fault is it that the
(16:53):
billionaires are getting their tax cuts while the poor suffer? Congress?
Whose fault is it that Snap isn't fire? Congress? Whose
fault is it that people on SNAP don't get enough money?
That Social Security people don't get enough money? Congress? Whose
fault is it that insurance premiums are going to triple
(17:16):
for people under the Affordable Care Act? Congress? Why because
they refuse to address single payer medicare for all. Almost
every problem that we can have in this country and
we can talk about goes back to an impotent, partisan,
(17:36):
broken Congress. Why do we have the horrible Supreme Court
that we have because Congress approved judges that sat there
and lied to them, and they refuse to impeach those
very judges, which is within their power. Congress can impeach
Supreme Court Justices's happened twice before. Once the guy was removed.
(18:01):
The second time he resigned before they actually impeached him.
Congress could fix the court, not the president. Congress. Congress
could help most of us out of the problems that
we are in through real, groundbreaking legislation. They will not.
(18:24):
Why is climate change an issue? Congress? They refuse to
pass any real reform and stick to it. In fact,
the one body, look, a president's going to behave like
a president behaves. They're going to be partisan. They're going
to some of them are stupid, idiot people. They're going
(18:45):
to be what they are. That's why the founders gave
us the courts and Congress. But Congress has been so
irreparably broken for so long and not doing its job
for so long that we now have a broken nation.
(19:06):
That is the real issue. It's not about eight Democrats caving.
It's about one hundred senators not once having a budget
done by April, I'm sorry, by October. It's about one
hundred senators not balancing the budget. It's about four hundred
plus congress people in the House doing the same. This
(19:33):
isn't about eight people one time. This is about a
continual failure of the House and the Senate to do
their jobs. And we let them. We let them. We
re elect the people who are not doing their jobs.
We re elect the partisans who are taking loyalty or
(19:54):
fielty test to the president and not to we the people.
I don't want a congress person loyal to any president.
I don't want a Democrat loyal to whoever the Democratic
president is. I want them loyal to us, to you
and me. And they're not. They're loyal to their party
and they're loyal to their president. Where are we in
(20:17):
that picture. They can't even balance our budget, the thing
they're supposed to do. More than anything, they can't even
get their job done by October, not just once, but
for twenty eight years. Don't you wish you had a
job you could be that inept? What have they done?
(20:40):
Each of them has become millionaires, They've done that. Each
of them has written books, gone on tours. They've done that. Oh,
and campaigned, raised money for their campaigns. They've done that.
What haven't they done, balance the budget, pass all the
resolutions by October, reign in a seated president that's out
(21:02):
of control, make laws instead of leaving it to the
Supreme Court to make them. They didn't integrade schools, brown
be the Board of Education did. Congress has been on
the sidelines of some of the greatest social movements in history.
(21:23):
It's their fault, all of it, and every one of them,
not just a few.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Now is show side.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Oh, we have a Congress that's broken and has been
for decades, decades, like just perpetually broken. And when one
of your if you've got a tricycle, which is what
the United States is, executive, legislative, judicial, we're a tricycle.
We're a tripod in order for us to stand on
(22:23):
top of our government, for our government to support our country.
It has three legs. It's a tripod. One of those
legs Congress has been broken forever, so we've been teetering
on two legs, really, and the judicial is now broken.
So literally we are a monopod, and the only leg
(22:47):
we're standing on Donald Trump's. That's why things are as
bad as they are. The tripod that supports the weight
of the United States has been broken forever, and what
do we do to fix it? Well, we should get
rid of everyone, and I mean that, get rid of
(23:10):
more than half of Congress, of the House and the Senate.
More than half of them should go, probably three quarters
of them, truly, three quarters of them should go. Number two.
Term limits twelve years. That's it all you can serve
after that, get the frack out term limits, start a
(23:32):
new cleanse it all. Term limit them to twelve years.
Term limit the Supreme Court to twelve years, and do
not pay them. Their pay stops if they don't balance
the budget and have all of the appropriations done in
(23:54):
the appropriate year. See how quickly they'd come to some agreements.
Then not one dime past October fifth. If you don't
have the government funded in full, no continuing resolutions, all
of it done, no pay, we'd save a fortune. Cut
their pay. The same goes for balancing the budget. If
(24:18):
in the fiscal year you cannot balance the budget, you
do not get paid. We need to treat them like
the employees that they are. Instead, in this new bill
they're pushing through, they're giving themselves six hundred million dollars
and I'm not making that up. What a shame. Congress
(24:39):
needs to be completely revamped, and it needs to not
be paid. If they're not going to do their job.
What have they done over the last forty days? Most
of them haven't even been in Washington, DC, and we
still paid them. They got paid. Air traffic controllers didn't,
(24:59):
prison guards didn't. Congress did. They're deemed essential essential? Well,
from what I just brought up, not only are they
not essential, but they're pretty useless. What laws have they
made that actually benefit you? What loss? What laws can
(25:22):
you think of in the last ten years that Congress
has enacted that actually help you. I've I'm at a loss.
I'm sure I could find a couple. But they did
make animal cruelty a felony. There's that. What else? Did
they give you health insurance for everybody? No? No, they
(25:45):
bailed out their banks, They bailed out their rich friends.
They cut taxes on their wealthy friends. Did they lower
the cost of anything for you? No? Did they give
you more benefits in your medicare or so secured? No?
What did they do? What have they done? It's time
we start asking what have they done for us lately?
(26:09):
And the answer is not much? So why do we
keep electing them. Why do we keep putting them in?
Why do we even have them? If it's not going
to act like a separate branch of government, if they're
not going to really do their job, we could save
millions and billion. Just eliminate them. Just go to a
different system, Go to a parliamentary system, you know whatever.
(26:33):
Have the fifty governors be the Congress. Have the fifty
governors vote on all the bills and vote on all
the laws. Get rid of these separate lawmakers. They can't
balance a budget, they can't get appropriations done on time,
they can't pass meaningful laws. They rely on the courts
to do the heavy lifting, and they refuse to reign
(26:55):
in presidents that are out of control. They let George W.
Bush go to war in Iraq, something we know was
uncalled for. They let George W. Bush go to war
in Afghanistan, something we know was uncalled for. They let
Ronald Reagan do his trickle down economics, something we know
did not work. They let Ronald Reagan ignore AIDS, pass
(27:19):
no legislation to help persons with AIDS. They haven't protected minorities,
they haven't fixed the immigration system. Only Congress can allocate
funds to fix the immigration system. Only Congress can put
forth legislation and reforms on how to reform the immigration system.
(27:44):
They haven't done it at all since well eighteen hundred.
I know because I just watched this show Death by
Lightning about James Garfield. Immigration was one of his and
Chester A whatever where the second president was chester A somebody.
Why can't I remember him Chester A Arthur because he
(28:05):
has two for its names. You know, immigration was the
problem for them. Garfield wanted to treat immigrants nicely. Chester A.
Arthur decided not to. But whatever the case may be,
two hundred and twenty five years later and we're still
(28:26):
having the same problem. We've had many presidents since then,
but it's been Congress. It's really time to concentrate more
on Congress than on the president because ultimately Congress has
more power than the president. And if they wanted to,
they could save us from Donald Trump tomorrow. They can
(28:49):
impeach Amy Conan Barrett. They could impeach every every Supreme
Court justice that lied to them when they asked about
Roe v. Wade. They could impeach them for lying under oath.
They could kick them out. They could actually remove members
who are too old. They're allowed to remove members. They
could remove members. They could actually pass term limits for
(29:13):
themselves and the Supreme Court. They won't. The one body
in the United States that has refused to hold its
undo the bargain Congress, because they're all a bunch of
narcissistic opportunists who don't care about us. Once we get
(29:34):
them there, they forget them, only remember themselves. Yeah, that's
the problem.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
So we are We're a democratic republic, you know. And
last night. While watching Death by Lightning, I was reminded
that it used to be the state senators that actually
chose the senators. You didn't elect the senator that went
to DC. You elected your state senators. They elected the
senator that went off to d C. There's something to it,
(31:22):
perhaps you know. I just I don't know. I just
know our system's not working. Everything is broken, and Trump
is destroying so much. You know that we need to
move forward. And when we move forward, we can't keep
doing it the same way. There has to be a
penalty for Congress if they don't do their job. There
(31:44):
has to be They're not going to penalize themselves. We're
going to have to make Congress responsible. We're gonna have
to push for legislation that says if you don't have
the appropriations done enough, and if you don't have a
balanced budget done in October, you don't get paid until
(32:07):
you do. They wouldn't have been paid for the last
twenty eight years. And that's the truth. No one in
Congress would have been paid for the last twenty eight years.
Speaking of twenty We're not going back. Written by Yours
Truly and sung by thea Austin went from number twenty
five on the Music Week chart in the UK to
(32:29):
number twenty. We rose five spots this week. I now
can officially say I am the writer of a top
twenty dance hit. I now let me explain why there's
no money in that. DJs get the records free, okay,
and streaming only pays point zero zero four cents per
(32:54):
stream even a million streams. If a million people streamed,
we're not going back. We'd get four thousand dollars. I
would have gotten a million before if a million streamed
from radio and from you know, if people bought a
million singles. But no, nope, Now a million streams four
(33:18):
thousand dollars. I haven't gotten even four dollars. So it's
great that it's number twenty on the chart. But music
is no longer profitable because you used to hope that
the chart would then get them to go buy the record. Well,
now no one buys records, so even if they go
stream it, there's no money there. In order to make
(33:40):
four hundred thousand dollars, we would need one hundred million streams.
Very few artists except Taylor and you know a few
others get that. But for the most part. Yeah, no,
no money in it, but it's really cool to say
that in my lifetime, I can now say I wrote
a top twenty dancit. I always wanted to sing a
(34:02):
top twenty dance it. And I think my next single
I dance because I just got the new remix yesterday
by Dirty Disco, who's kind of famous, so I think
that's gonna be great. But yes, we're not going back.
And I listened to it again last night. What an
anthem it is. You know, we're not going back. We're
not giving in. We are going to fight. If we fight,
(34:23):
we win. You see the world so different, a very
weird worldview. You don't want real progress for anyone. But
you you say we must go back regression to the past.
I say we must move forward to make our union last.
The past that you remember, for many wasn't great. The
(34:43):
past that you remember is often filled with hate. So
we are looking forward. Progression is the key loving one
another and letting others be. I mean when I wrote it,
I wrote the hell out of that song. It's an
anthem that we need still, But you know, are we
(35:05):
going to get it? Are we going to move forward?
Or are we going to go back. We can move
forward without Congress. And they don't seem to want to
do their job, you know, yep, no, you know, truly,
we just don't demand that they do their job. I
would not be paid as a talk show host if
(35:28):
for twenty eight years I didn't do a show. Oh
I had the time spot, but every time you tuned
in there was nothing. I wasn't doing my job. I
wouldn't be paid. They are. They're paid for not doing
their job. Isn't that just a remarkable thing, to be
paid for not doing the job. I still, you know,
(35:50):
I was so intrigued by this program last night that
I watched Death by Lightning. I want to tell you
a little bit when we come back about it to President,
you didn't know you're missing, And how I wish the
goop now?
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Really Correll dot com, I was shocked. It's really k
A R E. L dot Com.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Correll is so near because show time is here.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
The path that you remember for many wasn't great. The
path that you remember was off and filled with hate,
you know you gotta eat right. I'm I'm fasting today.
My day today is two shows. I'm going to tape
a show today in case I don't get back from
the Kansas surgery tomorrow. Uh in time uh, and then
(36:54):
I'm fasting. So at three o'clock I can go get
fasting labs because I thought I don't want to get
labs after having cancer taken off my back and my
physical is Monday. So yeah. So I did a meal
plan hundred grams of protein a day, and I was
just going over it in the break to see what
I'm having when I break the fast today, I'm gonna
(37:15):
have cabbage roll soup with sitan. No, I gotta make
the side tan, so forget that. Instead, I'm gonna have
caribbean black beans and lentils. That's what I'm gonna have,
a tropical spicy black bean and lentil served with rice
and a fresh mango papaya salad. Ooh, that'll be for
what I'm having this afternoon, honey. Or I'll just stop
(37:36):
someplace on my way home from the labs and I
will I'll start all this tomorrow because day that's day one.
Cabbage roll soup with si tan caribbean black beans and lentils.
Day two is Harisa with red lentils and tofu. And
I don't know where the rest of the days are.
They are not here, but they are somewhere, so I
(38:00):
will find them. Or oh maybe it only did two days.
I don't even know. I don't even know. I'll have
to check. But it gave me a shop No, it
gave me a shopping list for the week, So I
I must have just not printed out the rest, all right.
But that's him. That fun. That's what I'm gonna see.
This is my meal planning. I I print out meal plans.
(38:24):
I go into Forks over Knives, which is a vegan thing, uh,
And then I get their meal plan that I pay for.
Then I feed it into chat GPT and tell chat
GPT to adjust the recipes so it's one hundred one
hundred grands of protein a day. Then I take those
recipes and adjust them and make them my own, do
(38:46):
my own thing with them. And that's how I eat
if I don't eat out. But I gotta tell you,
I you know the prices, you know there's a solid Well,
how does that affect the price of tea? In China
yesterday because of your birthday gifts, I went to Harney,
Harney and Son's Tea. That's the tea I drink because
(39:06):
it's time to redo my tea. I drink a lot
of tea, a lot, two pots a day. And yesterday,
I you know, clicked on Irish Breakfast and clicked one
pound of loose leaf tea. Thirty two dollars for one
pound of loose leaf tea. Yesterday I bought seven different
(39:28):
loose leaf teas one pound each and with shipping it
was two hundred and thirty six dollars for seven types
of tea. Now that will last me about four to
five months. So I only do this twice a year,
maybe three times a year, but even at twice a year,
(39:52):
that's almost fifty bucks a month for tea. Because tea
is thirty two dollars a pound. That's more than coffee.
That's you know, that's more than coffee. And why tariffs
which so James Garfield president that I was talking about
(40:15):
in the Death by Lightning, as well as Arthur I
keep forgetting his name, they actually crafted Chester. Arthur actually
crafted some of the tariff legislation that we have today.
When I was watching this, I thought, how could two
(40:37):
forgotten presidents still be so present in government? We don't
even really know who they were now. As for Garfield,
James A. Garfield, he was assassinated by Charles Gutteaux, shot
on the back in a train station. And he wouldn't
have died. Get this, He would not have died if
(41:03):
the doctor treating him had used proper anesthetic procedures, which
a black doctor on scene was trying to tell the
white doctor, and the white doctor wouldn't listen to him,
and subsequently he died of sepsis, which he wouldn't have died.
He would not have died from the bullet wound if
(41:24):
proper antiseptic had been used and procedures, but instead they didn't,
and so he died of sepsis. And he died only
nine eight or nine months into his presidency. And he
was a good guy, James Garfield. He was for civil rights,
(41:45):
he was for immigrants rights, he was for making sure
that the freed slaves could now incorporate into society as
free men. And he was a Republican. I could not,
I thought, are you kidding me? A Republican believe these things?
(42:06):
But he did, he truly did. He loved his wife.
He served in the Civil War. He fought at all
kinds of commands and battles, very brave. He served in
Congress and he didn't want to be president. At the
Republican Convention of eighteen hundred, they were supposed to renominate
(42:31):
President Grant, but people didn't like him. They didn't like
the hold that this one New York senator had over him.
So out of the blue, because Garfield made this really
cool speech introducing someone that he was going to champion,
they went for him instead. He supported black suffrage as
(42:55):
firmly as he supported abolition. He sought the rapid restoration
of Southern States. Isn't that something?
Speaker 3 (43:05):
I mean?
Speaker 4 (43:06):
This guy was a great guy. If he'd ha lived, hope,
you know, he would have probably done great things. He
opposed the proposed impeachment of Johnson a senator in Congress.
On January seventh, he voted in support of the resolution
that launched the first impeachment inquiry. Wow, that's something. I mean.
(43:30):
He made a lot of history, but people don't know
who he was. And tariffs he was really Throughout his
political career, Garfield favored the gold standard and decried attempts
to increase the money supply through issuance of paper money
not backed by gold, and later through the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. In eighteen sixty five he was
(43:51):
put on the House and House Ways and Means Committee, saying,
you know, we got to keep our money strong. He
gave a two hour speech about currency that interesting tariffs
had been raised to high levels during the Civil War. Afterwards, Garfield,
who made a close study of financial affairs, advocated moving
(44:14):
towards free trade. It broke with Republican tradition. The guy
was he's a good guy, James A. Garfield, and he
was a Republican and had this lunatic gutteau and he
was insane. He killed him because he thought that Chester
(44:37):
Arthur was going to offer him a position in government.
He wasn't. This guy was crazy. He met Chester Arthur
once and he thought if he killed Garfield that he
would then get a position under Arthur. He was insane
and he was hung by the neck until dead for
killing Ultimately, but it was really the doctor that killed
(44:58):
Garfield sho It really didn't kill him. It was the
infection from the shot that killed him, and then Chester Arthur,
who had previously been this sort of grifting person, actually
because of Garfield's death, became a better president than he
was a vice president. Very interesting stuff. People with integrity,
(45:21):
people trying to get the job done, people who tried
to work across party lines, and people who knew how
to work with Congress. Very interesting. You should watch. It's
called Death by Lightning, the true story of James Garfield
and one of our forgotten presidents. And Chester A. Arthur,
(45:43):
another forgotten president who actually did good things. And if
the US lasted another couple hundred years, Donald Trump will
be a forgotten president. He will be. And that's what
they fear the most, is being forgotten. But Donald Trump
will be forgotten. He will be erased like Hitler. Hitler
(46:06):
nowadays to a group, and you know most people today,
young kids. You mentioned Hitler. They know the name, but
they really don't know what he did, how he did it.
They couldn't tell you about his battles, his victories, his losses.
They just know he got viciously defeated and was a
bad guy. That's all they know. So he's remembered, but
not how he would want to be. And Trump will
(46:27):
be remembered, but not how he wants to be. He
will be the villain in this particular era when the era,
when the story of this era is told, Donald Trump
will be the villain. But so will Congress. So will Congress.
(46:47):
So what else?
Speaker 5 (46:48):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (46:49):
President Washington? Oppost t taxes, Yes, tariffs, the Boston Tea Party.
It's about a tariff, and now there should be another
one because Harney and Sons tea is thirty one dollars pound.
I'm not going to throw it into Andy River. It's
too expensive.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
James A. Garfield was also about helping the Native Americans.
He felt we were treating the Native Americans badly and
that we should treat them better. A Republican So Republicans
aren't all bad. Obviously, at least historically. Somehow the party
went awry. But it appears there can be good people
(47:33):
in the Republican Party. I don't know if late who,
but it does appear that there was a time where
there were good people in their party. Isn't that something?
All right? What's going on in the chatroom at YouTube
dot com? Forward slash really Correll? I don't think you
can blame people like Bernie Yeah, I kind of can
(47:55):
term limits require a constitutional amendment? Let's do it. Let's
get her done. It's not like we can't. We've made
plenty of amendments. There's like twenty plus of them. Put
them in jail if they don't do their jobs. I agree.
I'd be all for that jail Congress until it does
its actual job. That or just ask for our money back.
(48:15):
Say no, you got to rebate us your salary. Every big, evil,
moneysucking corporation would fire any of our asses for not
doing work for a week. Yep, yep, we'd all be
fired if we behave like Congress, all of us. There's
not one American that could go to work and not
do their job for twenty eight years, not one. But
(48:39):
remember the last time that they got the government funded
and all the appropriations done in October of the year
they were supposed to be doing it for was nineteen
ninety seven. And the last time they balanced the budget
two thousand and one, twenty four years and twenty eight
years and twenty four years. So basically, for two and
(49:00):
a half decades, Congress has not done their job. Ain't
that something? Ain't that a trip? And yet they keep
getting paid they keep giving themselves raises. They live on
lots of money, have great health care. They don't have
to live on, you know, public benefits like they should.
(49:24):
Trump calls the Senate bill to end the shutdown a
very big victory as he criticizes the Democrats. Newsom tells
the AP that the eight senators who struck the shutdown
deal aren't alarmed enough about Trump. You think you think
(49:46):
it's all such bad news, isn't it? The heart will
break and brokenly live on Lord Byron, But it is,
it's all bad news. Trump floats tariff dividends right Pakistan
Taliban claim responsibility for terror attack. Great anxiety disorders tied
(50:10):
to low levels of nutrients in your brain. Great Trump
seventy nine panics about losing his Supreme Court fight in
the late night rant. We don't know if he's lost
it yet. Have they ruled on the tariffs yet? Are
they going to wait until he's out of office to rule
on that? I mean, really, why is it so hard,
(50:30):
you know, to say they're not legal? I love this story.
Man makes mother in law sleep apart using their own
house rules in laws so whenever he and his wife
goes to his in law's house. They don't let him
sleep in the same room even though they're married. So
the in laws came to visit him and his wife.
He made them sleep in different rooms. I love that. Oh,
(50:55):
Al Roker has prostate cancer, still alive. That's good. Uh,
America is self defeating China policy? Great? See is there
anything good in here? Is there anything good in here? Anything?
I'll keep looking. I'll be right back. I'm trying to
(51:15):
find some good news. Nothing yet, I'll keep looking. Com searching.
Speaker 3 (51:43):
Now is show?
Speaker 4 (52:00):
Yeah, that's right, that's right, James Snabel. They get one
hundred and forty K year, but they retire with millions, Like,
how is that possible? You know, grift all a grift?
So what's in this bill? Let's see? Uh, I don't know.
Trump is suing the the BBC for a billion dollars
(52:23):
because he's doctor evil. One billion dollars. He won't win,
but you know, and where are the damages? He's mad
because they edited a January sixth speech that showed him
inciting violence and they edited out parts to make it
look like, you know, one continuous speech. So he wants
a billion dollars for defamation. Where's the damages. He has
(52:46):
never been prosecuted for January sixth, and he is president.
He won the presidency. So where are the damages? That's
what a judge will say. How are you defamed? Where
are the damages? Why people keep giving this fucker money?
Will never understand. Why won't anyone stand up to this man?
These eight democrats folded and bent on, over held their
(53:09):
heels up in the air and said, come on, shove
it in me, Gop. Why I don't get it. He's
an eighty year old orange buffoon with bad hair, can't
talk dementia, and no one stands up to him. I
don't get it. I'll never understand. I don't I said
(53:35):
I was looking for good news. Let's look under entertainment.
Oh no, Sally Kirkland has died or no. Award winning
star placed in hospice care. No, she died. Sally Kirkland,
veteran actress and Oscar nominee, dies at eighty four. Oh bye,
Sally Kirkland. See you. Cause of death revealed for rock
(53:58):
and roll legend from Kiss Yeah, don and hit his
Head blund Ford drama You Know. On the opening of
season twenty seven of Law and Order, Resvu. Marishka Hargatea
says to Chris Maloney, We've entered that phase of all
of our friends are dying. All the actors and actresses
that I watch growing up and musicians, they're all dropping dead. Now.
(54:20):
Matthew McConaughey and Michael Kain Inc. Deals for AI generated
versions of themselves. Oh God, there we go. So now
there'll be Michael Kain movies in thirty years, new ones. Great, great, wonderful.
Where's the good news? I'm trying to find some in
the entertainment news, but there's not even any good news
(54:42):
in that Lord Valeri Burton, Ellie, it's become a blonde
looks good, Okay, anything else?
Speaker 7 (54:51):
No.
Speaker 4 (54:53):
Tasuya Nakadai, Japanese star known for Ran and other films,
dies at ninety two. See it's like, no good news
come on anywhere. No, I'm trying to find it under health.
Any good news in the health department. Let's check, ah, No,
(55:19):
no cancer gone in three months, new drug melts, tumors. Okay,
that's probably only some cancers and some drugs, and who
knows how long before we get them. But oh, bladder cancer, okay,
that must be horrible bladder cancer. Well, what cancer is good?
I have cancer. I'm getting it removed tomorrow. No clear
link between a cinnamonifin during pregnancy and autism. No shit,
(55:41):
they should sue Trump for If he sues the BBC
for a billion dollars, then the makers of a cinnamonifin
should sue him for a billion dollars because they've actually
been defined. And if you have a fib like I do,
not only have they found that caffeine isn't bad for you,
but actually it might help with aphib Isn't that something
(56:01):
new study? Coffee and tea actually may protect the heart
from APHEB instead of triggering it. Some people they are
triggered by it, but a majority of people are not,
and it's actually protective. That's good news. I found two
good news stories. Are we happy about that? Two found two?
Two good ones? All right? I will be here tomorrow.
(56:21):
Whether it's taped or live, I don't know yet. It
really depends on how long the mose surgery on my
back takes. If I get done and get out of

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.
