Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, despite warnings from Liz Cheney, all signs point to Republicans standing by Donald Trump as he hints at running for President again.

Then, on the rest of the menu, energy experts say the Republican outrage over petroleum reserve sales is overblown; GOP representative Ted Budd of North Carolina got big bucks for opposing consumer protections against predatory lending, despite his own state prohibiting the practice; and, the FBI says it busted a big crypto Ponzi scam, but then they discovered it was even bigger.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where Japan’s nuclear regulator approved a planned release of treated radioactive wastewater from the still-wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea next year; and, China launched one of two laboratory modules to complete its permanent orbiting space station.

All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.

Bon Appétit!
