America loves to call itself the âgreatest country in the worldââbut the numbers tell a different story. Over 350 mass shootings this year, a wannabe tyrant in the Oval Office, and a Supreme Court that props up a far-right agenda. 70% of our infrastructure is outdated, we lack public transportation, and universal health care is still a dreamâwhile we remain #1 for medical...
Over 37% of Americans are now over 50âthatâs 124 million peopleâand the cracks in our system are showing. Social Security is running dry, affordable home health care barely exists for the middle class, and state-sponsored elder care is almost nonexistent. Meanwhile, medicine is lagging behind in treating the illnesses most affecting older Americans.
The truth is clear: A...
Jimmy Kimmel is back on ABCâbut instead of focusing on Americaâs real crises, the President is throwing another tantrum. From the U.N. stage to cable news, heâs still whining about an election he lost years ago while ignoring soaring grocery prices, housing insecurity, healthcare failures, and global unrest.
Karel asks: how much longer can MAGA followers def...
Human bodies havenât changed in 100,000 years, but our world has. From the rise of agriculture just 10,000 years ago to nonstop modern stress, tech overload, and processed living, weâre locked in an evolutionary mismatchâand itâs making us sick. Obesity, depression, cancer, and anxiety arenât just randomâtheyâre signs our environment is outpacing our biology.

Tens of thousands turned out to mourn their MAGA hero, but Trump couldnât resist making it all about himselfâattacking opponents and fueling division. From heads of state at a private funeral to Trumpâs ominous remarks, the signs of Americaâs slide toward autocracy are louder than ever. Why are Democrats silent? What exactly are they waiting for?
Meanwhile, cit...
Is free speech officially on life support in the USA? Jimmy Kimmel makes a factual statement about Charlie Kirk and suddenly his show is âpulled indefinitely.â Meanwhile, politicians are pushing new definitions of âhate speech,â platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and AI moderation systems are flagging content left and right, and Sinclair is planning a na...
America feels more divided and unstable than ever. With politics in chaos and leadership failing to unite, many are asking: is it time to leave the USA? Becoming an expat may not be as impossible as it sounds â jobs, communities, and opportunities exist around the world. So whatâs really stopping you from getting off a sinking ship?
In todayâs Karel Cast, we explo...
America has been trapped in a cycle of outrage since Donald Trumpâs rise and the MAGA movement. Every headline, every conversation, every policy fight is dominated by their agenda â and itâs costing you more than you realize. Theyâre not just robbing your peace of mind, theyâre stealing your most valuable asset: your time.
From endless work hours to constant st...
In the wake of Charlie Kirkâs assassination, the government and right-wing media call him a âtrue patriot.â But what if he wasnât? What if Christian Nationalismâthe ideology he championedâis actually un-American, contradicting the very principles of the Founding Fathers?
Karel takes a hard look at how Christian Nationalism has been weaponized to discriminate ...
Charlie Kirk was assassinated in public in Utah, and the fallout is tearing the nation apart. MAGA immediately weaponized the killing, labeling the shooter a radical left activist without evidence, fueling division and anger. The President quickly blamed the leftâsomething he did not do when lawmakers were murdered in their homes just a month ago.
So, was...
From the streets of the U.S. to the protests in Nepal, social media is fueling revolutions around the world. In Nepal, Gen Z forced their Prime Minister to resign after TikTok was banned â proving the power of digital activism. But what about Americaâs youth? Will Gen Z rise up to reclaim their future, or remain glued to their screens until itâs too late?
Plus, a d...
We already know the truth: Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were close friends, and thereâs more than enough evidence pointing toward Trumpâs misconduct. But hereâs the problemâMAGA doesnât care. No matter how much proof is presented, they refuse to believe it. So why are Democrats still chasing Epstein files as if theyâll change anything? Until thereâs a criminal convic...
The writing has been on the wall since the 1800sâAmerica may be headed for divorce court. From the new Western Alliance for Healthcare to growing political, cultural, and economic divides, we could be witnessing the first steps toward a fractured nation. Will this split be peaceful, or will it bring chaos and conflict?
Weâll also talk about the backlash Iâve faced from the trans co...
Vaccines arenât politicalâuntil politicians like RFK Jr make them partisan. I know firsthand the importance of questioning medicine, but letâs be honest: vaccines save lives. The data is clear, the science is proven, and yet RFK Jr and red states like Florida are trying to make vaccine mandates illegal.
The problem? Diseases donât stay contained. His...
Donald Trump vanishes for days at a time, his legs appear swollen from venous insufficiency, and his hands often look bruised. At nearly 80 years old, these could be normal signs of aging â or indicators of something more serious.
Trump and MAGA made Bidenâs health fair game, yet the media stays largely silent on Trumpâs visible health struggles. Why the d...
In todayâs America, thereâs no middle ground anymore. Yesterday, I â a proud, gay activist with trans family members â was labeled a transphobe simply for having a nuanced opinion about trans athletes and transitioning timelines. Instead of discussion, the immediate reaction was to attack.
Even Governor Gavin Newsom has faced backlash from the extreme left f...
The right is in an uproar after a trans Catholic school shooter in Minneapolis killed two people â using it as âproofâ that trans people are dangerous. But letâs look at the facts: only 2 killings by trans people this year vs. 244 killings by cisgender straight men. And tragically, 28 trans people have been murdered in 2025 alone â mostly by straight ...
Every day in America, evil is winning â not because itâs stronger, but because good people stay silent. A vocal minority pushes tyranny, ignorance, and hate while Congress, corporations, and even judges remain quiet. From fat-shaming debates over airline seats to outrage over a Cracker Barrel logo, it seems all you have to do is bark long enough and loud enou...
Southwest Airlines is requiring plus-sized passengers to buy two seats so they âdonât spill over.â But hereâs the real question: why not just design a few rows of larger seats? Instead, society blames fat people for being fat, ignoring the bigger issue â an industry and culture that lack compassion.
This episode of the Karel Cast dig...
Florida and other states are painting over rainbow sidewalks â but hereâs the truth: LGBTQ+ Americans donât need symbolic gestures. We need equal rights, protection under the law, and an economy that works for everyone.
This episode of the Karel Cast calls out politicians like DeSantis who focus on erasing symbols instead of fixing real problems. Equality is...
