Here's the One Thing You Must Now Do Karel Cast 24-156 This is it. The Monday before the most contentious election in recent memory. Will the United States choose sanity, choose inclusion, or will we start our descent in to autocracy? There's only one thing left for you to do, outside of voting, and I'm going to tell you what it is. Also, I spent the weekend with a gun, pepper spray, and security at my building on alert. Why? Because some people really don't like what I say. I'll share with you the text messages I got on Friday. James Van Der Beek has colo-rectal cancer as so many people under 60 are now developing the disease. Why? That's simple, but you won't like the answers.

The Ghost of Trump Present Haunts Us This Halloween Karel Cast 24-155 What has American politics become? We have actual Presidential candidates leading press conferences from Garbage Trucks looking like Orange faced clowns. What must the world think? And how will History judge this era? Who were we before Trump? Who were the Germans before Hitler? Are we going to talk about Spain? 100 dead as they get one year of rain in one day, meanwhile the USA experienced it's driest October ever. Will we ever, really, truly do anything to help stop this? Halloween is here. A night of spooks and demons. It goes against Christianity to celebrate, but people do. Why? Why are we so fascinated with what happens after death instead of what we do in life?

Who Supports A Garbage Candidate? Karel Cast 24-154 Donald Trump's surrogates call Puerto Rico a floating pile of garbage. His followers call gays groomers, call Democrats socialists and pedophiles, they mock Black, Trans, Gay, they threaten the lives of those that disagree with them...but don't call them garbage as Biden did. Really? Seems to me only people with garbage attitudes would support a garbage candidate. Lay in dirt, get fleas. To Ozempic or not? If you were overweight, even just 30 pounds, would you take the drug? AND, scientists are again recommending to the US government that Americans eat less meat and sugar. So why won't those recommendations make it? The reason proves the point of my new book.

What's Behind The Rise Of Hatred In America Today? Really Karel Karel Cast 24-153 The biggest threat to the world that Donald Trump has always posed is not his policies, it’s the way he and his followers have now normalized hatred, bigotry and discord. His rally should have ended his campaign; it invigorated it. His surrogates have said things that are beyond the pale. He has said and done things that are just horrific. And yet, they are accepted. And this normalization is everywhere. On social media, everyone wants to fight, say horrible things about people they never met. Can we recover from this disease of hatred or has he unleashed a beast that will remain for a long, long time?

Climate and the U.S. economy are on the ballot; World on pace for significant and dangerous warming without faster action, U.N. report warns; PLUS: Biden cracks down on lead paint, a serious threat to America's children... All that and more in today's Green News Report!

Our ex-president is so secure in the knowledge that he will win election to the presidency that he is not even pretending to mount an actual campaign. Just rallies where the base swoons, and he sways—thirty-nine minutes of swaying in fact—instead of speaking. So convinced is he, that when he does speak, it’s only about his enemies (in case you’ve been living under a rock, that anyone who publicly disagrees with him. We take a look at that and some other peculiarities in today’s commentary. It’s short. I hope you’ll listen.

MAGA, Trump Display Their Hatred of Americans At Madison Square Garden Karel Cast 24-152 At any other point in our history, the political rally that Donald Trump held at Madison Square Garden would have ended his, or any other candidate's, campaign. The hatred, the bigotry, the racism and homophobia towards Americans not like them was on full display and they were not only unashamed, but reveled in it. At any other time the media would have put an end to Trump and his campaign the day after such an event. Instead, they empower him. The GOP and MAGA have become the most hateful, divisive party since Germany in 1940, and no one in the party does a thing. Why? I know. Billionaires that own media companies are now ruining Free Speech and mainstream media. How do we solve this crisis? The Ozempic Question raises its ugly head...to jab or not to jab?

When You Have To Accomplish The Impossible Karel Cast 24-149 It seems like electing a decent candidate, a good woman, Kamala Harris is almost impossible in 14 days. But a lot of America seems impossible these days. Solving the gun problem; solving the climate crisis; solving inflation…it all seems…well…impossible. And in your personal life, many tasks seem impossible; making more money; getting a better house; affording little niceties. So what do we do when we encounter the impossible. Well, a few things,.

15 Days Until We Find Out If the USA Is Lost To Ignorance Karel Cast 24-148 I voted yesterday and what an experience that was. But it made me realize that we have about two weeks until we find out if there’s more people that believe in the Constitution, more people that see Trump for who he really is, or if we are lost to a cult-based ignorance. I, for one, am not optimistic. I worked a McDonalds, and was so much better than Donald Trump. Why his stunt was insulting. My trip to the Vegan Street Fair showed me why people are looking for someone to blame in today’s economy.

Time was, Kamala was a lousy retail politician. That we then, and this is now. She’s apparently a quick study. As a media coach, I guessed I 2020 that VP was the end of the road for her, because I’ve never seen anyone gain so much poise and distinction. In my experience, you have “it” or you don’t. I’m glad to be proven wrong. She’s turned into a great pol. We discuss this and some other related topics on today’s commentary. It’s short. I hope you’ll listen.

Texas Wants to Kill Innocent Man, While Meat Industry Wants to Kill You Karel Cast 24-147 A Texas man is scheduled to be executed for the 2002 murder of his child..from shaken baby syndrome. The problem? Experts have now conceded that that diagnosis isn't reliable; in fact, many cases have been overturned because we now know that the syndrome isn't just caused by abuse but can have bacteriological and other biological components to it making the person completely innocent. So why won't they stop it? It's Texas. Listeria is running amok in pre-packaged chicken, and deli meats. Hundreds of millions of pounds of meat is being recalled. And yet, the nation refuses to go Vegan. We know how much damage meat does to the body; we know the next pandemic will probably come from meat or dairy...but...we line up to eat it. Death Wish 2024. It's the weekend. Does this even have any meaning any more? Do you recreate? Or do you do all the things you don't have time to do during the week because you're too exhausted.

VP Harris Legitimizes Propagandist Network In Contentious Exchange Karel Cast 24-146 VP Harris went on a network that is a pro-Trump propaganda spreader, an enemy of a free state and country, to try and talk sense and win people over. Did she? No, all she did was give them grist for their lying mill. Why did she do it? Was it an olive branch to all Americans or was it a desperate attempt to get a few votes? Depends on who you ask.

Billionaires are Stealing Your Election With Your Own Money Karel Cast 24-145 Elon Musk and others are giving enormous amounts, hundreds of millions of dollars, to Donald Trump. Why? So he'll protect THEM. And they are doing it with money you gave them by supporting their products and companies. They only care about their money and themselves. And it should be illegal. The family of the Menendez Bros are meeting today to try and convince a judge to re-sentence them after 30 plus years in jail. Have we extracted our revenge upon them? Is it enough?

Grocery Stores, and The Election, Are Trying to Kill Us Karel Cast 24-144 There is an Instagram account that shows what’s inside your favorite foods, and it’s mostly salt and sugar. Grocery stores are the #1 provider of food, but most of what is inside is NOT edible and should not be consumed…how is this even possible. And is it just a USA thing?
