And There It Is…All Hail King Trump Karel Cast 25-26 The official White House X account did an open act of treason today, spitting in the face of our forefathers, of our history and heritage, by anointing Trump King. Literally. And people actually hailed him on X. This is it. We’re becoming Russia. He’s not going to leave, his intentions are clear. Democracy truly is dead. And why? Because just like last time, good people are sitting by and doing nothing. It is the saddest day since our inception. And is the harbinger of our undoing. Unless someone does something.

What’s at stake for Medicaid—the lifeline for millions of low-income Americans—under President Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress determined to slash spending? How would cutting Medicaid affect the more than 72 million people who rely on it for health care? And is Social Security next on the chopping block? To break it down, we spoke with Alex Lawson, executive director of Social Security Works, an organization fighting to protect and expand Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid; lower drug prices; and ensure health care as a human right. This is part one of a two-part series.

What The World Is Saying Isn’t Good Karel Cast 25-25 Last night, I watched BBC, SkyNews (UK), RTE (Ireland), France24 and NHKWorld as well as headlines from Latin America. What did I learn? It’s much worse than we thought. Orangina is becoming very hated, quickly, and so are Americans. And what are THEY concerned with? Ukraine. Gaza. Tariffs. And the impetulant, disrespectful, downright criminal behavior of a “tyrant in training”. Never have I wanted to escape a country more; but options may be limited. They are ALL talking about ceasing US immigration to their countries. Meanwhile LAUSD (Los Angeles School District) at 800 schools says no phones. Either they turn them off, or they’re locked up. The reaction? The kids and teachers like it. Who doesn’t? Parents of course. Why? Fear of school shootings.

The First US President's Day Without One Karel Cast 25-23 It's President's day in the USA and this is the first one in our history where we don't have a President, we have a would be dictator, autocrat, oligarch, whatever the term one chooses, but not a President. Presidents act Presidential; Presidents defend and protect the Constitution; Presidents consider ALL American's their responsibility. Not this one. Trump and Putin have plans for Ukraine that don't involve Zelenski. Will this heighten the war? The weekend had lots of entertainment in it, and a lot of it involving the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. The show has endured. But why have I never really been a fan?

What Truly Terrifies You? Karel Cast 25-24 Fear is used in so many parts of our lives. Politicians use it to get us to vote for them; religion uses it to get you to convert; media uses it daily to shape their coverage. People are dying from floods and weather in Kentucky and Tennessee. There's a death cult whose members just got caught. Guns are everywhere. I've been thinking a lot about fear and how it just doesn't serve us, or America. But in order to deal with it, we must truly face it. So, what TRULY scares you? Health? Money? What?

What is Entertaining in 2025? Karel Cast 25-23 There's a new Marvel Movie opening, Captain America with Harris Ford as Red Hulk and an African American Captain. As Marvel pours out movie after movie, is this the entertainment we want? And what about streaming? Why do all the good RomComs like Bridgette Jones' new outings not get to go to theaters but must go straight to streaming? Has Binge Watching helped, or hurt, TV entertainment. And what of of NBC. It's about to divorce itself from its other brands, including MSNBC. What would bring you back to media, what could the new owners do to make news coverage relevant again? Also, Rock hall of fame nods are out. Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, OutKast and Phish, along with Mariah Carey...are they missing anything? Also, is Wendy Williams being held hostage? She says so.

Is America Worth The Cost of Admission? Karel Cast 25-22 The economy in the USA is the biggest issue on all our minds. Rents are out of control; mortgage rates and interests; groceries; fuel; utilities; internet; autos and so much more. No place exemplifies this more than California. But California burns, often; floods often. Crime is rough in the major cities. Homelessness is out of control. The same goes for Seattle, New York, Houston, Miami, and every major city in the USA. And what do we all get for this price of living? All of us, Maga and non-Maga alike? We do have a beautiful country, but most of us can’t afford the truly pretty places. We don’t have the best health care in the world, on the contrary. Why is the world taking so much and giving us back so little? There’s one simple answer.

This week's commentary focuses on Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation roadmap for the Trump Administration. Although the president denied knowing anything about it while on the campaign trail, it was conceived and written primarily by Russell Vought, the once and current OMB director (super-powerful controller of the budget), and a slew of Trump designees. The roadmap eschews democracy for autocracy, and paves the way for the broligarchs to continue their rampage. Sounds like fun, I know, but I hope you’ll listen anyway. It’s short!

#MAGA Hypocrisy Can You Imagine 2025? | Really Karel Show Karel Cast 25-21 JD Vance claims judges are not allowed to check executive power...then who is? But can you imagine what Orangina and other GOP would have done if Harris, or Biden or Obama or Hillary had said this? Can you imagine? A friend of mine was accosted yesterday over a parking space. And it made me sad for a lot of reasons, one of which is a certain way it made me feel. And it involves an ugly emotion...can you imagine? I keep up on San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles news. Between the fires, the Flu, the rain and the cost do I have a romantic view of California because I still think it's a great place...or, is it? Can you imagine?

Super Bowl Is All That’s Wrong with America 2025 | Really Karel Show Karel Cast 25-020 Yesterday was the “big game” day. But what is it, really? Well, it’s companies paying $16m a minute to get their message across. And where does that money come from? From our pockets. And are these companies good for America, good for the world, good for the planet? Nope, most sell things we shouldn’t even eat or drink or drive. Trump shows up to cheers while Taylor is booed? A world upside down. And multi-million dollar players are tasked with getting a ball from one end of the field to the other and get paid more for one game than doctors, teachers, essential workers.j And the audience, the same one that screamed about the price of eggs, is spending tens of thousands of dollars all told for the experience. It is the closest to the hunger games we get. And the half time show? Who was that for, exactly? Not the NFL demo, that’s for sure.

The strong reactions to the tragic murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson by alleged killer Luigi Mangione are bringing renewed attention to the abuses of for-profit health insurance. How does our complex, costly, and callous for-profit healthcare system contribute to America's high mortality rate and how many people are believed to die each year as a result? To find out, we interviewed Dr. James G. Khan, an expert in health policy and economics, and advisor to Code WACK! and editor and primary blogger of Health Justice Monitor, a health policy blog.

Rage Exhaustion Is Real So What to Do?

The Room Most Affected By Trump Tariffs: The Kitchen | #trump | @ReallyKarel Karel Cast 25-017 Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on we, the people. Oh he says Canada and Mexico (and China) but they don’t pay, we do. So on Tuesday, will prices skyrocket again? And which room in your house, of all rooms will be affected more? That’s easy, the most important one in the house. Also, what about the house. We get lots of timber from Canada, so home prices will rise. Plus Music’s Biggest night…was it? As a voting member, I have thoughts. Grammy 2025, hit or miss?

This time on Code WACK! For the second episode in our two-part series on racism in medicine, in honor of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr, we’re asking the question: What is racially concordant care and how does it help save lives? What else can be done to reduce deadly disparities in medicine? To find out, we spoke to Dr. Uché Blackstock. Blackstock, author of the New York Times best-selling book “Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine,” which is now available in paperback. She’s also the founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity, an organization that aims to dismantle racism in healthcare and narrow racial health inequities. Blackstock was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in Global Health and one of the Top 13 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health by Fortune Magazine.
