Episodes
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 ...
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 Suprem...
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 Ameri...
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 hav...
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 dem...
Record early voting numbers in New York City. Proposition 50 poised to pass easily in California. Could this be a sign of a Democratic wave in the 2026 midterms—and a turning point for the country?
But before we celebrate, there’s a darker question: what will Donald Trump do if he sees power slipping away? History shows his followers don...
A brutal knife attack on a London train sends shockwaves worldwide — but is it really that surprising anymore? With mass shootings daily, measles outbreaks, COVID still lingering, and global leaders flirting with the brink of war, it’s fair to ask: Are we safe anywhere?
From the chaos abroad to food insecurity at home, 2025 feels like a turning point. Have you chang...
One in four Americans now has a new job — and it’s not one they chose. Caregiving has quietly become the fastest-growing unpaid occupation in the country, draining families emotionally, physically, and financially. In today’s Karel Cast, we dig into the care crisis no one is talking about: why it’s exploding, what Medicare really covers, and what solu...
Grief isn’t just personal anymore — it’s national. From the East Wing’s destruction to soaring prices, collapsing communities, and the loss of what America once felt like, millions are mourning the country they thought they knew. If you’re not MAGA, you’re grieving.
In this powerful episode, Karel opens up about personal loss and how it mirrors a nation in pain. What do we do when...
LGBTQ+ rights are under siege like never before. With over 600 anti-LGBTQ bills circulating nationwide, trans Americans fleeing the country, and queer spaces closing at alarming rates — is this the new normal for being gay in the USA?
In this episode, Karel explores what it really means to be queer in Trump’s America — from Pride attendance plummeting to allies growi...
The holidays are coming fast — lights, music, chaos… and scams. 🎄 This year’s big scandal? Fake Labubu toys flooding the market, just as millions of Americans are missing paychecks thanks to the government shutdown.
Karel dives into the madness:
🎁 Why holiday joy feels harder to find under today’s leadership.
💸 How the shutdown is hitting wall...
When Amazon Web Services (AWS) went down, the internet itself nearly broke — apps crashed, transactions froze, and the global economy took a $50 BILLION hit in just hours. But the real story isn’t just about one outage… it’s about how dangerously dependent we’ve become on a single company’s servers.
Karel breaks down the truth behind the AWS crash, w...
Record-breaking No Kings rallies erupted across the country this weekend — but how did President Trump respond? With an AI video of himself as a king, literally dropping crap on peaceful protestors from Mar-a-Lago.
While millions marched for democracy, Speaker Mike Johnson called those Americans “people who hate America.” So the question becomes: if Congress ...
Thousands are hitting the streets again for the second “No Kings” Rally, and this time, the turnout could break records — over 2,500 events across America. But here’s the real question: will it actually change anything?
Karel dives into the heart of the movement — the hope, the energy, and the hard truth about what can and can’t be done to stop authoritarian overreach...
We talk about money, politics, and power — but the one thing that truly matters to every human being is being ignored: our health. 💔
In this episode of The Karel Cast, Karel breaks down why our daily priorities have shifted away from the most essential thing we have — our own well-being. From the food we eat to how we move (or don’t), we’re letting modern life des...
Politicians scream about “protecting kids” — from drag queens, books, or healthcare — but ignore the one thing that truly shapes their future: what’s in their hands every day. From social media to screen addiction, billionaires are profiting while an entire generation pays the price.
Karel exposes the hypocrisy of a society that pretends to care while letting our child...
Democrats are eating their own — again. As California’s Katie Porter faces criticism for a so-called “scandal,” even fellow Democrats are turning on her. But let’s be real — in the age of Trump, where threats, lies, and corruption barely make headlines, why are Democrats still obsessed with appearing perfect?
Karel dives into how Democrats keep sabotaging t...
New research reveals a heartbreaking truth: poor and middle-income seniors are dying years earlier than wealthy Americans. Poverty is literally killing our elders — and no one in power seems to care. Karel exposes how inequality, housing costs, and healthcare failures are quietly shortening lives across the country.
Plus — the Supreme Court’s next move could protect so-calle...

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.
