RFKJr Wants You to Die
RFK Jr., Junk Science, and the Dangerous War on Public Health | Karel Cast A headline from The Hill claims “the war on saturated fat was never based on good science.” That claim is false — and dangerous. Decades of peer-reviewed research link high saturated fat intake to heart disease and serious health outcomes. Yet RFK Jr. is pushing this narrative anyway. Since entering office, RFK Jr. has systematically dismantled public-health safeguards — from vaccines to nutrition policy — gutting the CDC and undermining trust in science. So the real question becomes: why is he willing to gamble with Americans’ lives? On today’s episode of The Karel Cast, we break down how misinformation around food and health becomes policy — and who pays the price. Plus: how much does each state actually contribute to the U.S. GDP? The numbers are shocking, and they completely undercut MAGA talking points about “who carries the country.” And finally: Hollywood’s “woke” reputation vs. reality. Over 90% of what Americans watch is created by white people, with nearly 80% by white men. Is this just demographics — or a full-scale regression to old power structures? This episode connects health, economics, media, and power — and why all of it matters right now. The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel.

Is It Time to Invoke the 25th Amendment? | Karel Cast
Is It Time to Invoke the 25th Amendment? | Karel Cast Donald Trump’s latest post targeting Rob Reiner has shocked even longtime Republicans — and for many, it feels like the moment where denial finally ends. This is no longer about political disagreement. It’s about fitness, stability, and responsibility. On today’s episode of The Karel Cast, we examine the growing concerns about Trump’s health, behavior, and ability to govern. This is a man with access to nuclear codes — someone most people wouldn’t trust to babysit a child — yet elected officials continue to look the other way. Why? The Constitution provides a mechanism for moments like this: the 25th Amendment. That responsibility falls to the Cabinet — but will they act? Or are fear, money, and loyalty to MAGA preventing them from doing their duty, even as polls show Trump’s own base beginning to turn? We’ll talk about political cowardice, constitutional accountability, and why so many leaders refuse to act even when the warning signs feel impossible to ignore. Plus: with Christmas Eve just days away, are you ready — emotionally, mentally, and practically — for the holidays? The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel.

A Holiday Weekend of Tragedy, Violence, and How We Keep Going
A Holiday Weekend of Tragedy, Violence, and How We Keep Going | Karel Cast 25-170 This was supposed to be a holiday weekend — and instead, it became a devastating reminder of how broken and violent the world feels right now. Two people were shot and killed at Brown University, with the suspect still at large. In Australia, 15 people were murdered in a hate-driven mass shooting, the country’s deadliest in 30 years. And in a shocking family tragedy, Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered in their home by their own son. It’s overwhelming. It’s heartbreaking. And it raises the question so many of us are asking right now: Is the world losing its mind — and how do we stay positive when tragedy feels constant? On today’s episode of The Karel Cast, we talk honestly about grief, fear, compassion fatigue, and what it takes to keep going when the news never lets up. Plus, a lighter — but revealing — moment: a major vegan fail this weekend that made me realize how even our diets are being impacted by Donald Trump-era economics and policy fallout. This is a conversation about reality, resilience, and finding humanity when the headlines feel unbearable. The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel.

Is Netflix About to Own All of Entertainment? | Karel Cast 25-165
Is Netflix About to Own All of Entertainment? | Karel Cast 25-165 Netflix is reportedly pursuing a massive takeover of Warner Bros./HBO Max — and Hollywood is panicking. Warner Bros is one of the last legacy studios keeping theaters alive, producing films designed for the big screen. If Netflix buys it, everything changes. Will movies skip theaters entirely? Will only Marvel-level blockbusters survive at the box office? Are traditional dramas, comedies, and mid-budget stories about to vanish from theaters forever? Or… are we just clinging to nostalgia? Most people say they love the theater experience — but box office numbers don’t lie. What would it take to get audiences back? Plus: What is Trump’s endgame in Venezuela? It isn’t complicated. He wants Maduro gone, wants the oil-rich nation reshaped to his demands, and won’t stop until regime change aligns with his “America First” ambitions. But is that foreign policy — or imperialism in disguise? The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel. Please like, subscribe, and share at youtube.com/reallykarel.

Republicans Want You Sick, Tired, and Distracted | Karel Cast 25-164
Republicans Want You Sick, Tired, and Distracted | Karel Cast 25-164 Republicans are pushing policies that leave Americans with higher health premiums, fewer protections, and no real solutions—while Trump tries to rebrand “affordability” by blaming Democrats for an economy his party refuses to fix. Behind the scenes, GOP lawmakers are advancing legislation that completely ignores skyrocketing insurance rates. At the same time, the economy continues to slide, and the message from the right is loud and clear: Stay sick. Stay tired. Stay powerless. LGBTQ leaders are sounding the alarm as authoritarianism spreads through American institutions. “Stop thinking you’re safe, because you’re not,” one warns. From ICE disabling security cameras to secretive abuses of power, systems meant to protect us are instead targeting marginalized communities—especially LGBTQ Americans. This is why I’ve openly questioned staying in the United States. We’re watching constitutional norms erode in real time, and history tells us who becomes the first target.

2025: The Year America Got Thinner — But Not Healthier
2025: The Year America Got Thinner — But Not Healthier | Media Power Grabs & Cancer Truths 2025 is being called “the year America shed” — with more people losing weight than ever thanks to fad diets, Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and every quick-fix trend imaginable. But here’s the shocking truth: Americans may be getting thinner, but not healthier. Why? Today we break down the real reasons behind the wellness illusion. Then, a massive story almost no one is paying attention to: the brewing Warner Bros. takeover battle. Donald Trump, backed by Saudi money and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, is pushing for a hostile takeover to compete with (and control) Netflix. What’s the motive? What does it mean for media, entertainment, and democracy? We dig into the power dynamics behind the scenes. Plus — new, surprising research on cancer detection asks a provocative question: Should all cancers be found? The answer isn’t what you think.

Why Are Humans Making Themselves Obsolete? The AI & Robot Dilemma
Why Are Humans Making Themselves Obsolete? The AI & Robot Dilemma | Karel Cast 25-162 Humans seem strangely driven to erase their own relevance. From the explosive rise of robotics to the unstoppable push toward advanced AI, we’re building machines that can do nearly everything we do — often better, faster, and cheaper. But here’s the real question: Why? Why are we creating technology that replaces us instead of supports us? Why are we racing toward automation knowing it will eliminate millions of jobs? Why are humans so willing — even eager — to make themselves obsolete? Today, we dive deep into the psychology behind humanity’s self-destructive tech obsession, explore what it means for our future, and break down the news of the day as only Karel can.

Dozy Don Showing Cognitive Decline — And Why Won’t the Media Say It?
Dozy Don Showing Cognitive Decline — And Why Won’t the Media Say It? | Karel Cast 25-161 Donald Trump’s behavior at his recent cabinet meeting raised serious questions about his cognitive health — from visibly bruised hands suggesting recent IVs or medical intervention, to falling asleep mid-meeting, to bizarre statements about “attacking boats on land.” Combined with years of confabulations, it’s getting harder to ignore the signs of progressive dementia. So why is the media ignoring it? Today we ask the big, uncomfortable question: Is the media intentionally avoiding the truth about Trump’s condition? Major outlets won’t touch obvious inconsistencies — not even basic facts. Pete Hegseth’s order wasn’t a “war crime” because there is no declared war; it was premeditated murder. Trump’s MRI at nearly 80 years old and out of shape could not realistically be “normal.” But corporate media refuses to challenge the narrative. Is this fear of corporate ownership? FCC pressure? Political backlash? And why are journalists ignoring the deadly decisions coming from Trump’s own cabinet? Let’s talk about what’s actually happening — not the sanitized version the networks want you to hear.

America Is Like White Water Rafting | Karel Cast 25-160
America Is Like White-Water Rafting: Chaos, Crisis & What Comes Next | Karel Cast 25-160 America feels less like a country and more like a white-water raft—tossing us through political chaos, rising costs, and nonstop crises. Today, we break down the latest wave of turbulence. Pentagon Pete explodes with “kill them all” rhetoric and then scrambles to shift blame onto an admiral after a devastating strike. Are we crossing the line into war crimes? What does it mean for America’s moral standing? Meanwhile, Trump is spiraling as his approval ratings hit new lows, pushing him into full meltdown mode. And for everyday Americans, life isn’t much calmer: health insurance premiums, co-pays, grocery bills, and gas prices feel like a roller coaster nobody agreed to ride. So is there any calm water ahead—or are the next three years going to be even rougher? Can the country withstand this level of instability?

💥 Pentagon Pete Accused of WAR CRIMES? | Karel Cast 25-159
💥 Pentagon Pete Accused of WAR CRIMES? | Karel Cast 25-159 Today’s show dives into a breaking and explosive question: Did Pentagon Pete commit a war crime after a strike that killed innocent civilians on a foreign ship? And even if he did… would Trump ever allow him to be prosecuted, or will loyalty override justice yet again? Then we shift to something more personal: The holidays are here, and while the decorations are up, something feels heavier this year. Is the season losing its joy because the world feels so dark right now? You’re not alone if you feel it. Plus: Did you shop this weekend, or has consumerism lost its sparkle? And in honor of World AIDS Day, the U.S. government will no longer commemorate it — a disturbing sign of the times. I also learned about Allen R. Schindler, Jr., a name every American should know.

A shocking Los Angeles Times investigation reveals that many everyday American food products are chosen or handled by teenagers exposed to harmful chemicals—and you won’t believe what they’re paid for it. If you think you know where your food comes from, think again. Then—should the U.S. adopt a sugar tax like the U.K.? With obesity-related illnesses costing billions every year, maybe it’s time to rethink how our food system works. Plus: Are you drinking enough water?

🔟 Fears Gen Y & Z Don’t Understand (But Gen X & Boomers Live With Daily) | Karel Cast 25-156 Generational battles are louder than ever, with Gen Y and Z openly dragging Gen X and Boomers — but there’s one big truth no one wants to admit: Older generations know what it’s like to be young, but younger generations have no idea what it’s like to age. Today, we break down 10 major fears that Boomers and Gen X carry with them every day — fears younger generations don’t even think about. From financial instability to health crises to the collapse of social safety nets, these anxieties are real, growing, and shaping the way older Americans live. Plus: • After weeks of wall-to-wall Epstein coverage and Congress voting to release the files… where are they? • It’s screener season: here are the movies worth watching over Thanksgiving weekend. • And the most appalling story of the week: 15-year-olds picking America’s food, exposed to toxic chemicals, underpaid, and living in fear — a horrifying report from the LA Times.

🔻 MAGA Meltdown: Chaos, Hypocrisy & the Real “Wicked” Message
🔻 MAGA Meltdown: Chaos, Hypocrisy & the Real “Wicked” Message | Karel Cast MAGA is having a full-on identity crisis — and today’s episode breaks down the bizarre contradictions. First, Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she’s leaving Congress, apologizes for “being crazy,” and claims she won’t be Trump’s battered spouse anymore. Then Donald Trump suddenly cozies up to Zohran Mamdani — the same man he called a communist who would destroy New York. The flip-flop is wild. Meanwhile, “America First” seems to mean everywhere but America as prices keep rising, health care becomes unaffordable, and MAGA leadership looks the other way. Plus: “Wicked” is crushing the box office, but are audiences missing the real message? The film mirrors our own politics — a powerless man behind the curtain, silencing critics and vilifying anyone who challenges the narrative.

Is This the Final Unraveling of a President? | Karel Cast 25-154
Is This the Final Unraveling of a President? | Karel Cast 25-154 A shocking scene unfolded as the former President once again lashed out—calling a female reporter “Quiet, Piggy,” simply for asking a question. And the media? Silent. Intimidated. Afraid he’d turn his rage on them next. Moments earlier he attacked another female journalist for daring to ask why a controversial Saudi Prince—an alleged criminal—was welcomed in the White House. The pattern is clear: escalating hostility toward women, toward the press, toward accountability. But beneath the insults lies something deeper. He’s taking hit after hit: Democrats’ major election wins, Congress refusing to kill the filibuster despite his demands, and his failed effort to block release of the Epstein files. The pressure is mounting, and the cracks are showing. Is this a man simply angry at the press… or a leader truly coming undone? And how dangerous is an unraveling President who still controls the nuclear codes? We dive into the moment, the psychology, and the dangerous implications.

Are Boomers Hoarding Wealth? And Why the Epstein Bill Is a Scam
Are Boomers Hoarding Wealth? And Why the Epstein Bill Is a Scam | Karel Cast 25-151 Baby Boomers are holding onto their money—and most plan to spend it all before they die. So are Boomers being selfish and blocking the next generation from building generational wealth? Or is it their right to enjoy the money they worked for without owing a financial legacy to their kids? Today we dig into the debate: responsibility, entitlement, and why Americans are so obsessed with inheritance. Plus, the so-called “Epstein bill” is nothing but political theater. Speaker Mike Johnson is already pushing Senate amendments to block the release of names—framing it as “protecting new victims” from “unproven allegations.” Translation: we will never see the full list. It’s a distraction, a grift, and another example of Washington pretending to act while protecting powerful men.

Why the Epstein Files Won’t Change Anything — And What Really Matters
Why the Epstein Files Won’t Change Anything — And What Really Matters | Karel Cast 25-150 The Epstein files are out again, and everyone is acting like this will finally be the moment—THE document drop that destroys Trump, exposes celebrities, or rewrites political reality. But let’s be honest: none of this will change a thing. We already know what we’re going to learn. It won’t be the bombshell MAGA fears, and it won’t be the partisan hit Democrats dream of. There are no accusers naming Trump, no pending trials, and no new revelations that will suddenly flip public opinion. And meanwhile, Washington only reacts to sex scandals—despite Trump’s actual, documented crimes. A treasonous insurrection. Circumventing Congress to levy taxes. Openly threatening journalists. Violations of the First Amendment. A convicted felon running for president. But America only wakes up when there’s a salacious angle. So why does a sex scandal get more attention than an attack on democracy? Let’s talk about what these files truly mean…and what they absolutely do not.

Why We Never Learn: Echoes of History, Epstein Files, and Atmospheric Chaos
Why We Never Learn: Echoes of History, Epstein Files, and Atmospheric Chaos | Karel Cast 25-149 Screener season is here, and one film stopped me cold: Nuremberg from Sony Pictures Classics. The dialogue—much of it pulled directly from the original WWII trials—made my jaw drop. Not because of Russell Crowe or Rami Malek’s performances, but because it proves something chilling: we’ve learned nothing. The normalization of horrors, the rationalization of the unthinkable… it’s happening again right in front of us. So why can’t we break the cycle? Meanwhile, Trump now says “release the Epstein files”—but only because his own base started turning on him. And you can bet whatever gets released will be heavily redacted. Plus: another atmospheric river slams California while FEMA’s director resigns mid-disaster. And one more screener, Good Boy, raises a surprisingly deep question: can your dog see things you can’t?

🚨 Epstein Files Hit Trump Again — But Will MAGA Finally Care?
🚨 Epstein Files Hit Trump Again — But Will MAGA Finally Care? | Karel Cast 148 New Epstein documents are dropping — and they directly tie Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein’s world. The records show he knew what was happening, he knew who the girls were, and he stayed silent. In fact, evidence suggests he spent time around the victims himself. MAGA demanded these files. Now that they’re out, will they call them fake? Will they dismiss yet another scandal? Or will this finally pierce the bubble of denial surrounding their political idol? Plus — the most popular dog names in America just dropped (Bella, Luna, Daisy, Lucy, Max, Charlie, Bailey, Cooper, Buddy, Sadie). Where does your pup rank? And with rain falling across huge parts of the country, we talk best rainy-day activities: baking, playlists, cozy vibes, and more.

Congress Cashes In While You Struggle | Karel Cast 25-147
Congress Cashes In While You Struggle | Karel Cast 25-147 The new bill reopening the U.S. government is a massive payday for Congress—not for you. Buried deep in the legislation are perks for lawmakers, including a retroactive $500,000 payout for any member whose phone records were seized during the January 6th investigations. Billions more are being funneled into office upgrades, security, and staff expansions. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court keeps siding with Trump’s cruelty—letting people go hungry and putting healthcare back in the hands of rich White men who play God with your life. Karel also opens up about his own skin cancer removal, using it to spotlight the major advances in cancer treatment and testing—and the question that matters most: Will these medical breakthroughs only help the rich? And Disney’s Toy Story 5 sends a quiet message: screens are destroying kids. But maybe—just maybe—this is evolution. As technology becomes universal, should kids actually be learning to thrive in a screen-based world? 🎙️ The Karel Cast streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 a.m. PST across all major platforms—YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and Spreaker. ❤️ Support independent journalism: patreon.com/reallykarel 📺 Watch & Subscribe: youtube.com/reallykarel 🐾 Follow Karel & Ember on TikTok and Instagram @reallykarel #KarelCast, #Congress, #GovernmentShutdown, #PoliticalCorruption, #USPolitics, #BreakingNews, #SupremeCourt, #TrumpNews, #HealthcareCrisis, #CancerAwareness, #WealthInequality, #ToyStory5, #ScreenTime, #MediaAnalysis, #ProgressiveMedia, #IndependentJournalism, #LiberalTalk, #LasVegas, #TalkShow, #KarelAndEmber https://youtube.com/live/xcjnIB_A4iU

Congress Has Failed America: 28 Years of Excuses, Corruption, and Chaos
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. 🎙️ The Karel Cast airs live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST on YouTube and all major podcast platforms — Apple, iHeart, Spotify, and more. 💖 Support independent media: patreon.com/reallykarel 📺 Subscribe and watch: youtube.com/reallykarel #CongressFail, #USPolitics, #GovernmentShutdown, #KarelCast, #PoliticalPodcast, #AmericanCorruption, #WashingtonDC, #BudgetCrisis, #CongressionalGridlock, #Accountability, #KarelBouley, #IndependentMedia, #PoliticalCommentary, #HealthcareReform, #RoeVWade, #GunControlNow, #TaxTheRich, #SinglePayerNow, #TrumpEra, #PatreonSupport https://youtube.com/live/oRfSJGiB0Yc

Dems Cave to MAGA — Government Shutdown Ends in Total Surrender | Karel Cast 25-144
Dems Cave to MAGA — Government Shutdown Ends in Total Surrender | Karel Cast 25-144 Democrats just handed Donald Trump and MAGA a massive win — again. Eight House Democrats broke ranks and voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown, with zero protections for health care or working Americans. Once more, the so-called “resistance” flinched when it mattered most, proving why the party keeps losing ground. MAGA would never have blinked — and now Trump gets to claim victory while the American people lose. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court refuses to revisit same-sex marriage, Kim Davis is back in the headlines looking like she’s been hit by karma, and Trump’s tossing out more pardons for his corrupt friends. Is this really what MAGA voters signed up for? And where are the Epstein files everyone’s been waiting for? Plus — you can now order your own lab tests and scans without a doctor. Is that empowerment or danger waiting to happen? 🎙️ The Karel Cast streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST and is available everywhere podcasts are heard — Apple, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more. ❤️ Support independent media at patreon.com/reallykarel 📺 Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/reallykarel 🎶 Follow Karel & Ember on TikTok and Instagram @reallykarel #KarelCast, #PoliticsToday, #GovernmentShutdown, #Democrats, #MAGA, #TrumpNews, #BreakingNews, #ProgressiveMedia, #LGBTQNews, #SupremeCourt, #KimDavis, #EpsteinFiles, #PoliticalCommentary, #LiberalTalk, #NewsAnalysis, #LasVegas, #IndependentMedia, #USPolitics, #TalkShow, #KarelAndEmber https://youtube.com/live/l7aAteUJzfI

🔥 Voters Humiliate Trump As Democrats Roar Back | The Karel Cast
🔥 Voters Humiliate Trump As Democrats Roar Back | The Karel Cast The blue wave is back — and Donald Trump is furious. From Virginia to New Jersey, New York to California, Democrats just swept the map, proving that Americans are ready to move on from chaos, culture wars, and Trumpism itself. But the question now is: will Democrats finally fight like winners? Voters aren’t just rejecting Trump — they’re rejecting Biden fatigue and demanding a new, bolder progressive energy. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani’s historic win and electrifying speech reminded the country what real inspiration sounds like — echoing the passion and vision of Barack Obama himself. Still, all isn’t calm: MAGA extremists are cornered and dangerous, ICE is under fire for shocking misconduct, and America’s political crash course continues. Plus, Karel shares a heartfelt reflection on personal transformation following yesterday’s “crash” editorial — a reminder that growth often comes from the wreckage. 🎙️ The Karel Cast streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST on all major platforms — Apple, Spotify, iHeart, and Spreaker. 💖 Support independent media at patreon.com/reallykarel 📺 Watch, like, and subscribe at youtube.com/reallykarel #KarelCast, #TrumpNews, #Election2025, #DemocratsWin, #Mamdani, #BlueWave, #BidenFatigue, #ProgressivePolitics, #LiberalVoices, #IndependentMedia, #PoliticalCommentary, #VoteBlue, #MAGA, #ICEAbuse, #AmericanDemocracy, #LasVegasPodcaster, #CharlesKarelBouley, #PodcastLife, #CurrentEvents, #BreakingNews https://youtube.com/live/QsGqq7XIFFg
