🇺🇸 Are There Too Many Holidays in the USA? Or Not Enough? | Karel Cast Ep. 25-91

7/3/2025
🇺🇸 Are There Too Many Holidays in the USA? Or Not Enough? | Karel Cast Ep. 25-91 Donald Trump recently said there are “too many holidays” in the U.S. and they’re bad for the economy. But let’s get real—this from a guy who’s spent millions golfing. The truth? Americans take fewer holidays than almost any other developed country. Why don’t we value rest, mental health, and time off like other nations do? Is it rising costs? Hotel rates, food prices, even parking fees (👀 $100 in Lake Tahoe!) are pushing vacations out of reach for many. 🎆 As the 4th of July approaches, Karel asks: Do you have the time, money, and energy to celebrate? Or are holidays now just another burden? Plus, he shares a delicious Raspberry Salad recipe perfect for any BBQ! 💥 Uncensored. Unfiltered. Unhinged. It’s The Karel Cast. 🔔 Subscribe for bold takes on news, culture, politics, and life at YouTube.com/ReallyKarel 💜 Support Independent Media: Patreon.com/ReallyKarel 📣 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker and more. ⸻ Hashtags: #KarelCast, #AmericanHolidays, #MentalHealthMatters, #VacationCrisis, #TooManyHolidays, #DonaldTrump, #HolidaySpending, #TravelCosts, #LakeTahoe, #BBQSeason, #4thOfJuly, #Juneteenth, #HolidayEconomy, #WorkLifeBalance, #RaspberrySalad, #USCulture, #IndependenceDay, #AmericanLifestyle, #InflationImpact, #RealTalkWithKarel https://youtube.com/live/Zzig2gGPlcY

A Turning Point - Contradictions

7/3/2025
The Middle East is a riddle. Religious and political factions have made it a tinderbox for as long as any of us has been alive. Now, between the Israeli decapitation of the its military and science corps, and the United States’ Bunker Busters, Iran, which has enjoyed indirect control of the region through its proxies, is facing the unknown. That’s where we start today in a short essay regarding the contradictory nature of the Middle East. I hope you’ll listen.

🎆 There’s Nothing to Celebrate This July 4th | Karel Cast Ep. 25-90

7/2/2025
🎆 There’s Nothing to Celebrate This July 4th | Karel Cast Ep. 25-90 Today marks the real Independence Day — July 2, 1776 — when America voted to declare freedom. But 249 years later, what are we really celebrating? 🇺🇸 As Donald Trump pushes policies that gut social programs, skyrocket the deficit, and unleash masked forces on our streets… 🇺🇸 As billionaires walk free while Americans suffer… 🇺🇸 As our democracy teeters on the edge of dictatorship… The truth is, there’s nothing to celebrate. We should be revolting — not barbecuing. This episode pulls no punches as I expose the hypocrisy of celebrating “freedom” in a nation where MAGA extremism is the real fireworks show — and it’s blowing up our rights. Also: • Diddy walks away from racketeering charges • Trump wins $16 million in a bogus lawsuit • And why we, the people, keep getting left behind 🔥 It’s time to wake up.

Tourists & Students: U.S. Border Agents Are Watching Your Social Media | Karel Cast Ep. 25-89

7/1/2025
Tourists & Students: U.S. Border Agents Are Watching Your Social Media | Karel Cast Ep. 25-89 📺 YouTube Description (SEO-Optimized): 🚨 If you’re planning to travel to the U.S., Big Brother is watching. Ireland’s National Student Council is warning students and tourists that U.S. customs agents are now scanning social media for “anti-American” or “anti-Semitic” content — and it could get you denied entry. Who decides what qualifies? What happened to free speech? Meanwhile, American democracy continues to erode as Democrats allow MAGA forces to dominate without resistance. From police in face masks to surveillance of every word we post, the land of the free is becoming the home of authoritarian control. PLUS: The global climate crisis hits hard — temps are soaring worldwide. 85° in Barcelona, 110° in Paris — there’s no escaping the impact of what we’ve done. 🔥 Wake up before it’s too late. — ✅ Watch, Like, Comment & Subscribe 💡 Support the show: https://patreon.com/reallykarel 🎧 Listen on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker & more 🌐 More: https://reallykarel.com 📲 Follow on TikTok & Instagram @ReallyKarel

Stopping the Big Budget Betrayal Bill: Fighting for Families, the Economy, and Medicaid

6/30/2025
On the radio show this week, we highlight a buzzing bee activation at the US Capitol where parents and kids protested the "Big Bad Betrayal Bill," a Republican budget proposal which could kick 16 million people off healthcare and lead to an estimated tens of thousands more deaths per year. We celebrate Pride Month with "Parenting with Pride," a new resource offering support against hostile school environments and book bans for LGBTQ+ families. The show also details the disastrous impact of proposed Medicaid cuts on people with disabilities. Finally, we hear from the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) about how data provides a crucial reality check against misinformation, as well as about the $64 billion annual economic cost of abortion restrictions and persistent wage gaps, underscoring the vital role of storytelling and data in these ongoing fights.

Billionaires Gained $2 Trillion—And We Still Don’t Get It | Karel Cast Ep. 25-88 ⸻ 🎙️ YouTube Description (Optimized): We hear these jaw-dropping numbers daily: 💰 $256 billion for Bezos 💰 $356 billion for Musk 💍 A $56 million wedding 📈 3,028 billionaires gained $2 trillion in wealth last year And we say: “Wow, that’s a lot.” But we don’t really understand what it means — or what it costs the rest of us. Our brains can’t comprehend these scales. That’s how the ultra-wealthy keep winning — while the rest of us barely hang on. If we truly understood the numbers, if we felt their impact, we’d be in the streets demanding change. But we don’t — because deep down, we still fantasize about being one of them. Plus, the Supreme Court just handed Trump more fuel to tear down democracy. Can it be stopped? Yes. But will we? 🧠 Wake up. Numbers don’t lie.

📢 PROOF Congress REFUSES To Do Their Job | Karel Cast Ep. 25-86 Description: 🚨 Congress had one job — and they blew it. In this explosive episode of The Karel Cast, Karel breaks down how over 129 Democrats joined Republicans to block articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, despite his blatant violations of the law — including launching unauthorized military strikes on Iran. Only 69 brave lawmakers (including AOC and Bernie Sanders) stood up and said “enough.” So what does this say about Democratic cowardice, accountability, and the future of American democracy? 🧨 Plus: A Democratic Socialist Muslim wins the Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor — a powerful sign of political change or just a blip? 🔥 You follow rules or you’re fired.

6/24/2025
Is America Beating the Empathy Out of Us? | Karel Cast Ep. 25-25 Description: Trump announces a ceasefire that lasts just 12 minutes and then unleashes a profanity-laced rant—why don’t I care? Another promise broken by Trump and his loyalists—why doesn’t it faze me? LGBTQ suicide prevention services are defunded—this should devastate me… but it doesn’t stick. And when record-breaking heat slams the U.S., I don’t even blink. From absurd headlines to real tragedies, I’m asking the big question: Is America beating the empathy out of us? In today’s Karel Cast, I dig into why emotional burnout is becoming the norm and whether it’s okay to prioritize your dog, your friends, and your survival over everything else. Is it apathy?

🚨 An Illegitimate President Just Started an Illegal War | Karel Cast Ep. 25-84 This weekend, Donald Trump launched airstrikes against a nation that hasn’t attacked us, hasn’t threatened us, and reportedly has no nuclear capabilities — all without congressional approval, UN support, or public discussion. 🇺🇸 Why? To continue acting as Israel’s proxy, spending $250 million of our taxpayer money to escalate a war no one asked for — and no one fully understands. And yet, the media barely flinched. No outcry. No protest. Just more war… while the American people foot the bill and wait for the fallout. 🎵 Also in this episode: A personal reflection on self-doubt, creativity, and why so many of us struggle to feel “enough” — even when we are.

China Surpassing U.S. Military-Industrial Might? 'Made In USA' Marketing Surges; American Infrastructure Crisis

6/20/2025
Leslie is joined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union. The two discuss: 1. The Wall Street Journal recently documented the stark disparity between China and America’s military-industrial strength in a series of graphs. The results are downright alarming, especially as geopolitical tensions flare. The data illustrate the urgent need for the United States to take action to revitalize our domestic shipbuilding industry. 2. With tariffs coming into force, Made in the USA marketing is surging. U.S. consumers are rejiggering their purchasing habits, as evidenced by a boom in “Made in USA” searches on e-commerce sites, and companies are more than happy to tout their “Made in USA” commitments. (From Modern Retail: “Amazon searches for the phrase shot up to 126,000 from 26,000 in the past 30 days — nearly five times the previous period.”) 3. The state of our infrastructure and energy grid is dire. It’s a crisis that creates another obstacle to U.S. manufacturing’s renaissance and America’s competitiveness. 4. This time, the China Shock is global in nature. Beijing is flooding the world’s markets with its industrial overcapacity across all categories, and job losses and bankruptcies are trailing the imports.

HIS WEEK ON CODE WACK! As federal officials carry out large-scale, military-style raids and widespread arrests of undocumented immigrants, another fight is quietly brewing — one that could push thousands of people off their health insurance. More than half a million young people who were brought to the U.S. as children and grew up here could soon lose eligibility for affordable and subsidized health coverage. A new rule proposed by the Trump Administration would once again block DACA recipients from buying Marketplace insurance or receiving financial assistance. What would this mean for their health, their communities and the widening gap in health and economic equity?
