⏩ How MAGA Is Stealing Your Most Valuable Asset: TIME | Karel Cast 25-114

America has been trapped in a cycle of outrage since Donald Trump’s rise and the MAGA movement. Every headline, every conversation, every policy fight is dominated by their agenda — and it’s costing you more than you realize. They’re not just robbing your peace of mind, they’re stealing your most valuable asset: your time.

From endless work hours to constant stress and nonstop political chaos, life in the USA feels hijacked. Is it even possible to take our time back — and live fully — under this system? Or has MAGA created a country where working, worrying, and watching are the only options left?
In today’s Karel Cast, we break down how your life is being drained by politics, power, and distraction — and what it will take to reclaim your future.

Show time is here. No time to fear. Corilla is
so near because show time is here.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
So on with the show.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Let's give it a go.

Speaker 4 (00:11):
Corilla is the one that you need to know. Now.
It's show side.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
All right. Today we're gonna talk about how Macca is
feeling the most important thing from you. I'm gonna tell
you how to get it back. What is it that's
gonna happen? Day two Child, Day.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Two, Uncensored, unfiltered, fun hinged. It's the corall Cast. Listen
daily on your favorite streaming.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
Service, the crowd Cast. I am Carrel, so very glad
you are joining me. It is by far your most
valuable asset, and yet it is being stolen. And I
realize this more than ever with the death of Charlie Kirk.

(01:16):
Charlie Kirk was a gun advocate who said deaths for
of Americans were acceptable. His assassination should be another just
blip on the radar like every other. Oh it's not working,
God damn it tell us dreams like, Oh, if you
uninstall our software and then reinstall it, it'll get rid
of all those white flashes. I did it, didn't. I'm sorry.

(01:37):
We'll try something new tomorrow. Anyway. So Charlie Kirk was
just another gun advocate who died of gun violence that
you know, there's not a huge story there, okay. And
he wasn't even that important to America. He was important
to MAGA, but he's not that important to America when

(01:59):
all is said and in the grand scheme of America,
Charlie Kirk will not be remembered. Okay. We don't remember
great orators from the eighteen hundreds, We don't remember huge people.
Most people don't even know who Edward R. Murrow is, okay,
Walter Cronkite. So in the grand scheme of things, Charlie
Kirk is a nothing. Okay, He's just like me. I

(02:23):
won't be remembered in fifty years for what I've done.
I mean, he's a nothing. He's you know, he's not going.
It's not like Martin Luther King, who they are trying to,
you know, liken him to. It's not like Jesus Christ,
who they are trying to liken him to. And so
all of this talk and people being fired, and hours
upon hours of programming on television and why why it

(02:50):
is literally sucking the life out of us. Now yesterday,
I referenced a friend of mine had a stroke, and
this is a person that I cannot imagine my life
being without. And between the stroke and Charlie Kirk's death,
I've had a lot of time to think about life

(03:14):
because Robert Redford died today. Robert Redford was eighty nine.
He was twenty seven years older than me, and most
people think he lived a great life. Eighty nine good life,
which means I've got about as much time left on
planet Earth as I had from when Andrew died. If
I'm lucky, and that passed in the blink of an eye,

(03:38):
twenty four years, that's how long Andrew's been dead, and
that it just seems like yesterday. So I have the
blink of a god. It's flashing more now that I
reinstalled their software. I am so sorry. I'm so mad
at Wirecast. Their tech support sucks. Everything about this application
sucks now, and yet I pay couple hundred bucks a year.

(04:01):
It's ridiculous anyway, So I've been thinking a lot about
life and how precious and valuable. I know we use
these cliches all the time, but the truth is, life
is precious and valuable. Okay, to you, to your life

(04:24):
and all the time since Donald Trump first was elected
in twenty what was it twenty twenty, Now that was
Biden nineteen ninety, what was it twenty sixteen? Yeah, since
Trump was elected nine years ago, right, he was twenty

(04:46):
sixteen to twenty twenty, Biden twenty twenty to twenty twenty four,
and now Trump twenty twenty four onward. So since twenty sixteen,
for nine years, all of the oxygen has been sucked
out of America, all of it by MAGA. All the

(05:06):
news stories, all the everything have centered around something MAGA
has done, something, they want to do, something they're trying
to do, all of it, all the political air, all
the cultural air, everything, And you know what they've done

(05:29):
more than anything, is steal your time. First of all,
they're stealing the time that we have to mitigate climate change.
That's the first thing they're doing. They're stealing the time
that we have to protect our futures. But we're going

(05:51):
to talk about more of what they're stealing when we
come back, and that includes Charlie Kirk. There should not
be this much discussion about one.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Really, Correll dot com daily you're missing out. Get the
podcast videos and the blug including recipes at really correl
dot com. That's really k A R e l dot com.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Show Time is here, No time to fear. Corell is
so near beca show Time is here. So on with
the show.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Let's give it a go.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Corella is the one that.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
You need to know, all right. And ber is next
to me and she's what are you doing down there?
What are you doing? She's like having a time right
next to me. I gotta tell you I love this
little girl. Time give me time.

Speaker 6 (06:47):
To me love my cry, let me loveven see.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I have been inside joy? How can I be?

Speaker 5 (07:17):
Boy? George love him so time?

Speaker 6 (07:20):
Won't give me time and time make the this me
like they got something real?

Speaker 5 (07:28):
But you and me, you know we got nothing.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
But do we?

Speaker 5 (07:37):
We act like we have all the time in the
fricking world to fix our problems and to live. We
act like, oh, the three hours I'm gonna spend today
worried about you know everything about are we gonna go
to war with Russia? You know Israel is moving into
Gaza today to complete their genocide. Just thinking about that,

(08:00):
You know that takes time. People getting fired for comments
about Charlie Kirk, people being worried about their jobs in America.
All we have the time to do now is worry
about our job, worry about the economy, worry about health care,
and worry about the fuck ass president we got and
this Maga terrorist group. That's all. That's the only thing

(08:21):
we have time for. Where is the time for life,
for liberty? Where is the time for the pursuit of happiness?
Where America is not conducive to a happy life? All
you do is worry?

Speaker 7 (08:40):
Were you old, eighteen tons? And what do you get
another day? Older and deeper? Intent bra that? Don't you
tell them? Because I can't go, oh my soul to
the company store. That song was probably written in the fifties,
Tennessee Earnie Ford, Uh.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
And it's still true. Your most valuable asset that you
and I have is time, and Maga is stealing it
from us. They're stealing the time we have to make
a more perfect union. They're stealing the time that we
have to make ourselves better, to make our countries better,

(09:19):
to make our health better, to make our mental health better.
They are stealing it. And you it oubts as the
biggest time stealer of all. What is the number one
steal thief of time right now? Number one, Come on
in the chat room YouTube dot com forward slash really correl.
What is the number one? Number one?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Huh?

Speaker 5 (09:43):
What is the number one thing that steals your time today?
Come on in the chat room. Come on at YouTube
dot com forward slash really correl. What is the number
one thing that steals your time? And it's in the
news today, by the way, what is the number one thing?
Robert almost got it from Arizona. Sandy got it. Ding

(10:07):
ding ding ding ding. We have a winner social media. Now,
TikTok has been saved. And let me tell you why
I'm gonna fucking leave TikTok because Oracle is involved in
the purchase. Oracle is Larry Ellison. Maga maga. Okay, he

(10:27):
bought Paramount, which means I don't really want to watch
shows on CBS anymore. He's trying to buy Warner Brothers
Discovery so he can own all the information channels. Okay,
So he's trying to watch get Warner brother Discovery. He
already they're gonna own CNN, which is why it's shifting
to the right. And I don't want to be on

(10:49):
a social media platform anymore. I don't and I don't
fucking care if they judge me for live shows or
if I'll never be a famous entertainer because I'm not
on social media. I don't care anymore. It is a
time suck, that's all it is. Social media is a
room full of servers buried underground or under the ocean somewhere.

(11:11):
That's all it is. And half the people you think
you're talking to are fake their bots. So I'm done
with social media. I will use metricool to post on
social media, and that's it. I'm not going on it.
I'm not logging on at all. I will have an app,

(11:32):
I will use AI to post all of my stuff.
Let AI go post my stuff on social media. I'm
not doing it. I don't want to read what Maga
has to think. I am so sick of seeing quotes
from Laura Lumer or all these other fucking idiot traders
to their country, These people who are racist and misogynists, transphobic, homophobic,

(11:53):
hiding behind their Bibles and their conservative values when they
are the most despicable human beings on the planet. Charlie
Kirk and his views made him one of the most
despicable humans on the planet. No, he should not have
been slaughtered. He should have had to live a long,
healthy life to see the first gay president, to see

(12:17):
trans people gain equality. He should have had to live
a long life so his kids would go to school
where they taught gay and lesbian studies. He should have
had to live a long, long life where religion became
mocked and made fun of for the ridiculous thing that

(12:39):
it is. He should have had to live a long
life to watch people like him be ostracized from society.
He should have lived a long time to see all that.
He should not have been killed. Despicable people should have
to live with their despicableness. He should not have been killed.

(13:03):
But he was one of the worst among us. Trump
is one of the worst people on the planet, and
all he does is suck our time from us. Suck
our time, or we worry about him, We worry about
the economy. Every time we go to the grocery store,
we're worried. We're never not worried anymore. When do you
have time to enjoy life in America where you're not

(13:24):
worried about being shot, If you're in public where you're
not worried, if your viewpoint is going to get you
fired or doxed or have people show up at your door.
When in America do you have time to be an American?
You don't. You don't In America today, we have no

(13:47):
time for life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness because
MAGA and Donald Trump prevents it. So what do we do? Well,
we've got a couple options. We really do, Yes, Robert,
I'm saying it, baby, I'm preaching it.

Speaker 8 (14:05):
Hellolujah, Hellolujah, hallelujah. Say it with me, raise your hands, hellolujah.
Corella's preaching today. He's up on the pulpit today. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Sandy says, I miss having a normal president who made
me feel safe and protected. I can't believe we have
three more years of this, and that's if we're lucky.
Oh no, he's not leaving power. He'll die before he
leaves power. So what do we do? First of all,
tune out to poodle pause? Who is poodle pause? Some

(14:43):
of the chat room is named poodle pause.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
I love poodles.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
I love poodles pause, I love I love all doggies. Pause.
Right in where's my Girl?

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Where's that woman?

Speaker 5 (14:53):
Miss him. Where are you at anyway? I'm in a mood.
I'm in a mood because I've got a plan and
to take my time back. I got a plan, people,
I got a plan. You know, the universe is gonna
laugh at me because I made a plan. But I
got a plan. Child, I got a plan. I'm gonna
take my time back. I'm gonna get back to being Correl, honey,

(15:15):
because Correll, he's a hoot and holler. Correll is someone
you want to have a party, Okay, Corrella is a
fun boy or old man.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Whatever.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
How do we take our time back? Oh, there's the hummingbird.
I swear to God it's Andrew. It's got to be Andrew.
Every day and only when I'm on air does this
hummingbird come out my window. It's there again today, every
day when I'm on air, and I have a hummingbird
tattooed right here on my arm that represents Andrew from
his backyard in Long Beach. I'm telling you, Andrew's visiting

(15:48):
me anyway. How do I take my time back? First
of all, I only use social media for the show,
and I use metrocool to post for me. It's twenty
bucks a mom and it's well worth it. I use
metricool to post for me, so I never go on
social media. Second, I do not read the comments. Don't

(16:12):
read them. Maga's always posting hateful things, calling me a
pedophile because that's what they call gay people, because that's
what they've been trained to do by the ignorant fuck
name Donald Trump. So you know what, don't read the comments,
just post for the show. That's that. Don't go on
social media if I keep it at all, I mean,

(16:33):
TikTok is now going to be run by Maga. X
is run by Maga. Instagram is run by pretty much
Maga because it's what's his name Zuckerberg. As long as
billionaires run social media, it's run by Maga. Why the
HRC or Democrats don't start a platform, I don't know,

(16:55):
but whatever, So cut out. It's nay on this, ohman
bird ixnay on the social media A that's the first thing.
Second of all, weed toxic people out, Get them out,
throw them out, clean house, get them out. Don't let

(17:15):
Maga in your world. Don't let people who support Trump
in your world. Oh but you know I forgive them. Nope,
time to not forgive them. Time to x them out
like a cancer. Time to only have people in your
world that support you and your worldview. And if that
means that you got to make all new friends, then

(17:35):
get busy, honey. Okay, because guess what, it ain't worth it.
Number three, Start refocusing on what brings you joy. I
know that you bring me joy.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
You bring me joy when I'm down.

Speaker 5 (17:58):
Singing brings me jo. I'm releasing a new single, I
dance because that means a new photo session, a new video.
It might means some live performances. Get back to what
you love. Trump has made us forget what we love.
Most of us can't afford to do what we love anymore.
Find a way, find a way.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
Love will find a way. Keep your heart open, cuz.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Find a way. The Strobes are worse today. They told
me to download their app, reinstall it and that would
go away. It's worse anyway. So take your time back,
stop giving it to MAGA and Trump and CNN, and
they're not worth it. There's not one news agency alive

(18:49):
that's worth your time. There's not one politician alive right
now that's worth your time. There's not one cause right
now alive that's really worth your time. Gavin's gonna lose
in California. He's going to lose the redistricting battle. Arnold
came out against it today. So it's only polling at
forty eight percent. That doesn't push it over for the win.

(19:12):
That means they're going to redistrict the other red states
because Republicans aren't afraid Democrats are. And of course Republicans
are fighting what California wants to do because they want
a super majority in the House and in the Senate,
and they're gonna get it, which means our country is
going to hell. Maybe it is time you start thinking

(19:33):
of leaving. And I mean that maybe it's time. Maybe
it's time you actually start thinking of getting out. You're
not gonna last three more years of this, be honest.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
You're not. You're not.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
You're not gonna last three more years of this. You
will die from worry or from one of his policies.
Health Care gonna get cut, Medicare. I don't know what
I'm gonna do when they cut so security, but they're
gonna do it. So stop living for Donald Trump, stop
living for Maga, and stop living by their rules in

(20:13):
their echo chamber. Don't let them take any more from
you than they've taken. They've taken your country. I don't
know why there's such a bunch of fucking whiners. They've
got both houses. Congress ain't doing shit to stop him,
The courts are letting him go. It's an autocracy. Why
are they so fucking upset? All the time? They got

(20:35):
what they wanted, and yet they're still not happy. They're
still screaming about Biden and still screaming about the Left.
Because these people will never be happy because they're ignorant.
They don't have the brains God or anyone else gave them.
So take it back. It's your time, don't give it away.

(20:59):
Turn off the news cast, turn off the podcast you know,
read a book, turn off the social media. What did
you do before Donald Trump? I'm serious?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
What did you do?

Speaker 5 (21:16):
What did you do before Donald Trump?

Speaker 9 (21:21):
What was your day to day like life prior to Trump?

Speaker 10 (21:33):
Subspect now it Show?

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Do you remember, Michael Jackson? Do you remember the time
when we fell in love? Do you remember the time
when we first met baby? Do you remember the time
when you were a happy person? Look, it ain't about
grocery pros. We've all suffered through recessions, and we've suffered

(22:23):
through inflation, and we've suffered through a lot. You and
I I'm sixty two in America, we have suffered through
a lot, a lot. But do you remember the time
when you were happy? Do you remember the time when
you thought more about your life than what was going

(22:43):
on in Washington, d C. When you knew more about you,
your life and your family's life than you did about
Donald Trump or Charlie Kirk's or whoever. Do you remember
those times? I do, Look, being oblivious to them is
not what I'm saying. That would be dumb. Okay, you
have to know what's going on. You do find one

(23:06):
trusted news source. One you're allowed one. You know what
I've done. I have subscribed to the La Times Digital edition.
It's four dollars, So every day I get the La
Times digital newspaper. Okay, it's just like their regular paper,

(23:26):
but it's digital and you can scroll through the pages
and if you want to read an article bigger, you
touch it and it blows up the article and there
it is in big print, and then you can go
back to and so it's like paging through a newspaper.
And I read it every day now, And there's a
multitude of stories in there, a multitude And there's a

(23:50):
sports section which I don't read, but there's the entertainment section,
which I do read, the calendar section, there's the food section,
and there's the world and then local headline. Find yourself
one source, one trust that source, and have that be
and check it one time a day. You do not

(24:11):
need to check the news thirty six times a day. Okay,
you just don't. You don't. We used to live with
news at seven in the afternoon or eight whatever. The
nightly news was with Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite,
six o'clock whatever, and then eleven thirty that's when that's
how we got the news. And then the next morning

(24:31):
at five or six am, that was the news five
or six in the morning, and then again at night
and that was it. During the day, you didn't watch
a news channel. You had a life. Take back your time,
reclaim it, reclaim it, start having more fun because guess

(24:56):
what what my friend's stroke taught me is, I'm out
of here any day now, any day over the next
thirty years, any of those days I could be gone,
and I may have to have open heart surgery in
four or five years to fix my order. If it
keeps growing, it's at four point three seven five. If

(25:16):
it ever gets to five point zero, I have to
see a surgeon, and by five point three or five
point five they operate. If it ever gets that big,
that's open heart surgery. That'll be a wake up call,
won't it. And until I get there, I need to live.
And worrying about every every bowel movement that Donald Trump

(25:38):
spits out of his mouth is not living. Having discussion
after discussion about Charlie Kirk, a gun advocate who said
people needed to die in order to keep guns, died
of a gun. That that shouldn't even be a one
day story. Take it back, own it, reclaim it. Don't

(26:04):
let them have any more of you, or any more
of your emotion. Don't let Donald Trump have your hatred,
don't let him have your your pain, yourself. Don't let
MAGA have any of your emotions none. They don't deserve it.
Save all of your time, all of your worry, all

(26:27):
of your everything for people that deserve it. They don't.
There's not one member of MAGA that even deserves There
is not one member of MAGA that deserves to be
picked up if they're hitchhiking. There's not one member of
MAGA that deserves an ounce of empathy since they don't
believe in it themselves. They have said so out loud.

(26:48):
Their leader, Charlie Kirk, said that he does not believe
in empathy. So they don't deserve your empathy. Don't give
it to them. But more importantly, you know what I
always say about people. I always ask someone, are you
over so and so? And they'll say, yeah, I'm over them,
And I'll say, well, do you still hate them? Yeah?
I hate them. And I said, then you're not over them,

(27:09):
and they said, what do you mean? I go Hatred
is still emotion. You truly know when you're over something,
when you're just ambivalent, when you don't care either way.
I don't care what happens either way. I am now
ambivalent about America. I don't really care which way it goes.
It could split up, it could become a fascist. I'm

(27:29):
over it because I'm ready to move on. Even if
I have to stay in the country. I'm ready to
move on. I don't care what it does. I'll live
under whatever regime happens, or try to or leave. I
Am not going to sit here and worry every day
what's happening to America. I don't care anymore. Happen. Let
it fall into autocracy because I can't stop it. You

(27:52):
can't stop it. We can't stop it. Why worry about it?
If it gets too bad, we flee, we become refugees.
There are cases in Canada right now where trans people
have applied for refugee status and the courts are considering
it from America trans people. So you know what, we
might soon be able to claim refugee status in other

(28:13):
countries because of Donald Trump, and then we would get
assistants to flee and let go of your ideas like
I could never leave America, Correll, Yeah you could, you could?
You really can let it go. Stephen Haynes says, you're
on fire this week, Correll, keep going. Good for you.

(28:37):
I will, yes, A daily news algorithms are designed to
keep one Immerston technology to the detriment of everything else.
You tell it, James Snable, you preach, you preach, and yes,
I'm always gonna fight the good fight, always always, I'm
always going to vote the right way. I'm gonna be

(28:58):
vocal for candidates I believe in. I'm going to champion
good causes in my community, mainly pet rescue. You know
that's helping things that can't help themselves. Fuck humans. Really,
I'm done helping humans. Humans don't deserve it. I'm all
help animals. They deserve it. I am carell you be

(29:21):

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
