We Are Too Broken to Fix Blue States Should Join Canada 2025 | Really Karel News 2025 Karel Cast 25-004 SoCal is in devastation. My friends were evacuated. Lives have been forever changed. And while there’s a valid question to be had about Climate Change, building in these areas in today’s world and more one simple post sums up why we’re too broken as a nation to continue as one: and it was from Barbra Streisand. She commented about Climate Change and the remarks, the comments, were so vitriolic…Trump supporters are delighting in the devastation and blaming Gavin Newsom and Democrats for the fires. Trump himself has done the same. We are too broken as a nation to continue as one. Trump has the right idea but wrong implementation. The Blue States should seek to become new Canadian States, bond with Canada, and dissolve our bonds with the very non-United States. It’s time to leave these people to their ignorance and misery instead of trying to save them, and spending $ on them.

🚨 CA Wildfires Threaten Lives | My Friends in Danger 2025 🔥 | Really Karel News Karel Cast 25-003 A windstorm has caused massive fires and losses in Southern California, from Pacific Palisades to Pasadena. I have friends all over that area and some are evacuated. This happens often, and when will we finally say you simply cannot live or rebuild in these areas? Isn’t it time to acknowledge that much of the LA canyons are a loss to climate change? And what will insurance companies do, tired of paying claims, when 10,000 homes are destroyed?

Karel Cast 25-002 I have paid over $150 a month for nine years to Nationwide Pet Insurance for their Whole Health with Wellness plan for Ember. Now, they have decided to not offer it in Nevada and CA, and other states, and are cancelling 300k policies. Not for nonpayment or too many claims, but just because they can. It’s almost impossible to insure a senior pet, and they know it. So why not leave people with the policies grandfathered in and just not offer them going forward? Greed. Pure and simple. And they are blaming vets for “rising costs…” Like THEY are not partially to blame for these rising costs. THIS is what’s wrong with USA. Corporations, not people, not government, Corporations run it all and do what they want. And if your pet dies because of it, so what.

Why have U.S. administrations from both sides of the aisle chosen to privatize Medicare and how has that complicated health care for patients? How do mega insurance companies benefit as a result? How much is all this costing us, anyway? And what can we do about it? To find out, we spoke with Wendell Potter, a former health insurance industry executive turned whistleblower, the New York Times bestselling author of Deadly Spin and the president of the Center for Health and Democracy. He’s also the author of the Substack newsletter HEALTH CARE un-covered which chronicles out-of-control profiteering in U.S. health care, its impact on everyday Americans, and potential policy solutions.

Things I Learned On Vacation about Me, and the USA Karel Cast 25-001 It’s been a great two weeks of shows here, but I’ve been on vacation here in Las Vegas and I’ve learned a lot about myself and about the USA. We’ll talk about the attacks on NY Day; We’ll talk about Jan 6 and what it means and we’ll talk about how liberals are becoming the epitome of a saying made famous in Nazi Germany. Because it appears many now want to do NOTHING, hear NOTHING, say NOTHING about politics in 2025. Doesn’t that mean the bad people win? Plus the Golden Globes were last night and there’s one movie I couldn’t be happier about winning. AND, wanna meet me this Sunday in San Francisco. I’ll tell you how.

In the wake of the recent presidential election, we’re revisiting one of our favorite podcast episodes from 2023 about the hurdles America's Indigenous peoples face in accessing health care. What’s being done to help elder Native Americans receive culturally competent long-term care? Would it surprise you to learn that relying on the Indian Health Service may not be enough to meet their needs? Why are some members of this highly vulnerable population buying health insurance too? To find out, we spoke to Elder Billie Tohee, executive director of the Albuquerque-based National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) and former chair of the board.

Homeless Speak Out; Moto Madness and Cheerleaders? Karel Cast 24-184 Happy Christmas Eve! First we talk about how it's OK to not be OK on Christmas. Then, on Christmas and holidays, we often think of those less fortunate, including the homeless. We look back on a segment about the homeless and how the GOP views them, versus how they really are, and we go speak to them. We also talk about A Complete Unknown on Screeners A to Z, we revisit my love of motorcycles with the Aprilia Mana and then, am I old, or old fashioned? We revisit a great segment from KGO Radio about cheerleaders and bikers. And of course, we end with my version of Silent Night. Happy Christmas!

This time on Code WACK! What could another Trump presidency mean for the rise in Medicare private plans and what would that mean for patient care and financial waste in our healthcare system and for the Medicare Trust Fund? To find out, we recently interviewed Dr. Diljeet Singh, an integrative gynecologic oncologist and incoming president of Physicians for a National Health Program [PNHP]. With more than 25,000 members across the United States, PNHP advocates for a universal, comprehensive, single-payer national health program. This is the second episode in a two-part series.

Leslie is joined by Fred Redmond, Secretary-Treasurer of the 60 unions and 12.5 million members of the AFL-CIO. The two discuss: - Why there is no source that Union workers trust more for information about politics than their fellow Union workers - How, despite the massive headwinds Democrats faced in this year's elections, Union voters turned out for Harris by a margin of 57%-41%, a slight advantage over 2020, after months of person-to-person contact focused heavily on pocketbook issues - How, the Union vote, almost single handedly, kept the presidential race close across the Blue Wall and other battlegrounds. It also propelled Democratic Senate candidates to victory in closely contested races - S.T. Redmond's take on the nomination of Lori Chavez-DeRemer for Labor Secretary - His reaction to the selection of Gwynne Wilcox to succeed Lauren McFerran as the new chair of the NLRB - His concern and frustration at House Republicans, President-Elect Trump and Elon Musk forcing the federal government to the brink of a shutdown, and how it would leave so many hard working Americans without a paycheck right before the Holidays In 2022, S.T. Redmond he was unanimously elected to the position as the highest ranking African American officer in the history of America’s labor movement.His path to the federation’s second-highest office began in 1973, when he went to work at Reynolds Metals Company in Chicago and became a member of the United Steelworkers (USW).

🔥 It Was The Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times 2025 | Really Karel 🔥 by Progressive Voices

Don’t Spend 2025 Doing This | | Really Karel 🔥 Karel Cast 24-181 The new year is just 14 days away. And it’s shaping up to be…interesting, life changing, world-changing, so many things. But there’s one thing we must all stop doing in 2025…one simple but difficult thing: Stop arguing with idiots. Stop, in life, on social media, just quit. Examples: I posted a thread about cursive writing, and was attacked telling me how needless it is. It isn’t needless, it teaches more than writing, it teaches brain development, motor skills, so much more. But look what’s happened without it over the years. Dumbed down populous anyone? Veganism: It’s the way. Show people the way. But arguing with them about it is pointless. Most people are just too stupid to understand things that are for their own good. Show them the way, tell them why it should happen, and then leave it there. Trump Supporters: They will never, ever, see the light, and if they do, it won’t be from you. Live your best life, support your causes, fight your battles. But leave idiots alone.

Will You Regret Not Fixing Your Anger Issues in 30 Days? | Really Karel Karel Cast 24-180 Last night I had a chance to go over writings of mine from my 30s and 40s. They were angry…and many verged on homophobia. Why was I so mad? And why did so many places want my show and column when I was? Anger today is what wins elections, but anger is ugly, and harmful. And fills me with regret. Nickel Boys, a new film, shows yet again the horrors of being Black in America in our recent past. Why aren’t all Blacks more angry? And why do Whites tell them they shouldn’t be…they SHOULD be angry, for a long, long time…but is it productive? As the year ends maybe it’s time to let the anger go America. It doesn’t serve us well.
