The Washington Post just ran a long article title From
Riches to Rags, and it's about Venezuela. Venezuela used to
be one of South America's wealthiest nations, but now is
one of the poorest. The Post describes how this oil
rich country is Latin America's new underclass because it's buckling
under the weight of Venezuela's descent into socialism. There's no food,
(00:21):
there's no electricity, there's no money. Every day five thousand
people flee the country try to escape starvation. In the
last two years, two million have fled, another two million
will leave this year. Women women risk being raped and
attacked by smugglers, members of the upper class, skilled professionals.
They are abandoning their property, taking jobs as day laborers

in other countries. But life is worse for those who
stay in Venezuela. It's also totally predictable, and I did
predict it when Hugo Chavez came to power back in
But our brilliant liberal elite, including Hollywood stars, praised Chabez
and has chosen six us her socialist dictator, Nicholas Maduro.
(01:02):
American liberals always celebrate socialism, just as they're doing today
in the Democrat Party because they see it as total power.

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.
