The Truth About Your Health Karel Cast 25-58 A new report says that Linoleic acid can be found in seed oils made of canola, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, soy, sunflower, safflower and rice and it has been linked to breast cancer. RFK Jr and TikTok are going after seed oils. Why? Are they truly dangerous? Protein. Eat this much according to influencers, eat that much according to doctors. Plant proteins for longevity, meat protein for early survival. Where should you get your protein? The fact is we now live in a world with 1000 opinions on what to eat, what not, and what's going to happen to your if you don't do this or that. So what should you really do for health? That's really simple. The Karel Cast is heard on all streaming services from Apple Music to iHeart Media, Spotify to Spreaker. The show is Monday through Thursday at 10:30 am Live PST.

Wrestlemania Explains Trump Perfectly Karel Cast 25-57 Wrestlemania came to Las Vegas this past weekend and it was a big multi-million dollar event. Even Trump got involved with rumors swirling he would attend. But it's a perfect partnership for him. An event with lots of bluster, lots of glitz, but it's all fake, manufactured and filled with nothing more than overblown testosterone. But it goes far deeper than that. Professional wrestling at its core is designed to be a fight between the good guys — “babyfaces,” in wrestling parlance — and bad guys, or “heels.” And while modern wrestling usually isn’t as cut-and-dry anymore, Trump operates under the same thinking, framing his endeavors, allies and enemies along those lines. I was asked why I still wear a mask in public situations by a person at the doctor's office last week. Well, with 1000 measles cases and it spreading like Wild fire, Covid still in effect, and new viruses emerging, the question becomes, why aren't you?

There Is No Information Security Any More Karel Cast 25-56 I received a letter this weekend, a letter that I’ve gotten before. In fact, I’ve gotten six of them total. And you know what it says. It says that all the verification of who you are, all the information of yours that your health care provider has, including your charts, your conditions, your medications, might as well be at the public library. Because it certainly isn’t safe. Is anything being done? Or is it a lost cause? Also, we now live in a society where our children can go through not one, but TWO mass shootings, and STILL nothing at all is done. The story of the Parkland survivor that ended up in the Florida shooting. Another study about plant based diets...what will it take for you to finally change?

When Did It Become OK To Argue Facts? Karel Cast 25-55 There are 42 facts about Orangina that are indisputable. So, how are they disputed? When, exactly, did it become OK to argue facts? And watching Real PD on Max has taught me one thing: Something is really wrong with our educational system! And I don’t just mean the perps…..I mean, it’s only Kansas, is English a second language there? Verbs not matching nouns, participles just dangling…do we even teach English in school?

Are We Great Yet? I’m Confused Karel Cast 25-54 I’m confused. During the campaign it would be all about how great America will be on day one of the regime. But here we are 100 days in and…are we great yet? Prices on everything are soaring; Division is worse than ever; Both The Israel Genocide of Gaza’s and Ukraine war are still going with no end in sight; Essential services and employees are being cut; Military people are dying on the border and there’s been no reform to immigration laws or system; Gay, Bi, Trans, Women, all still having rights removed; There’s a war on education… Are we better yet?

Geme V. Lomi Compost Wars! Plus Kidfluencers? Karel Cast 25-52 There's little things we all can do to help our planet. One is reduce your waste imprint. And you can do this by Geme and Lomi. But which is better? Well, let's see! Kidfluencers on Netflix has shown us all the dangers of kid stars on social media. But is it also child abuse? Plus it's Trump v. Harvard to the tune of $2.2b .

Surviving the Hospital Karel Cast 25-51 Afib took me down Thursday, and I had to call 911, go in an ambulance to the ER, then the ICU. Now, I’m home. I’ve learned so much about our health care system, and myself, on this traumatic journey. And I’m going to share. Also, Kidfluencers. I didn’t even know they existed, until a Netflix documentary blew the roof off of it all. Is this child abuse? AND, it’s not futile to try and help the planet, and I’ve got a great say you can (If you’ve got some extra green to burn first).

🔴 LIVE | Are We Deer In The Headlights? | Really Karel Karel Cast 25-50 It's official. We are at war with China. A trade war, and we're not going to win. 80% of target and Walmart goods come from China. Amazon, Temu, China. So those prices will DOUBLE with a 104% tariff. So, what are YOU doing to prepare? Because many, when faced with imminent danger, freeze, like a deer in the headlights. When people are in mass shootings and meet the gunman, many just stand in front of the gun and get shot out of fear. Is America paralyzed? Are you? Or, are you stocking up, cutting spending? Also, how can crayfish on valium teach us about consciousness and other science stories that just boggled my mind (Let's not talk about your anus...or...let's).

Can our local health departments counteract the mixed messages given by RFK, Jr. the secretary of Health and Human Services, about vaccine safety and efficacy? What about us? How can we combat disinformation and highlight the benefits of vaccinating our children and ourselves? To find out, we spoke with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed—physician, epidemiologist, author, and county health commissioner. He is formerly the health director for the city of Detroit. As the host of the award-winning America Dissected podcast, he breaks down the forces shaping public health for tens of thousands of listeners each week. This is the second of two episodes with Dr. El-Sayed.

When It's Time to Let Go Karel Cast 25-49 The Trump regime has proven to be too much for the world, both practically and emotionally. It's a non stop roller coaster day to day. And that induces anxiety. In fact, most of American life induces anxiety. We are surrounded with health news every day, take this supplement, eat this way, exercise this much, eat this much protein...on and on...it induces anxiety. So when is it time to just let go...of it all. Just wake up and take the day for what you can do and release what you can't. The time is now. I mean if Madonna and Elton John can find peace, the, there must be hope for us all. The Karel Cast is heard on all streaming services from Apple Music to iHeart Media, Spotify to Spreaker.

The New Depression Is Upon Us Karel Cast 25-48 Today, the news will be talking about how the world economic bedrock has been shaken and how one man has decided to change fortunes instantly. His evil has infected every single country in the world, and it’s depressing. Prices on everything are rising, and income isn’t, groceries are going up at least 4% more, and it’s depressing. Social Security hangs in the balance. State medical assistance, and it’s depressing. There’s already signs another great Depression is rising…but I would say, if you go by the mood of the country, for more than a few people, the great Depression is already here. And yet this last weekend thousands marched. Were they heard? Did it matter? Well, if it made them feel better, than part of that answer already is yes. Because right now we need something to make us feel better. The Karel Cast is heard on all streaming services from Apple Music to iHeart Media, Spotify to Spreaker.

Trump Executive Order Stripping Collective Bargaining Rights is Biggest Attack on Labor in Decades by Progressive Voices

Leslie is joined by Jesse Case, Director for the Food Processing Division for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The two examine why so many cannabis workers are joining the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. To add some perspective, the Teamsters represent over 1,000 cannabis workers in six different states. They've also bargained the strongest contracts in the industry for workers at a number of multi-state operators, which are the largest players in the US cannabis industry. Tens of thousands of Teamsters across the continent are members of the union’s growing Food Processing Division. The division represents many classifications of worker, including production line workers, mechanics, forklift drivers, machine operators and more. They help prepare, process and move just about every kind of food you find at the grocery store, including meats, dairy vegetables, fruits and grains. Visit www.Teamster.org for more information. Follow them on X and Instagram, where their handle is @Teamsters, and “like” them on Facebook at Facebook.com/Teamsters.

DEI Hate Goes Global Karel Cast 25-47 USDA is freezing funding to Maine and you won't believe why.

Let’s Talk Anything but HIM! Karel Cast 25-46 Remember a time when our entire time wasn’t spent talking about what the US President was doing, no matter who it was? Remember when we talked about ANYTHING other than the horrors of the US President’s actions? Bush had Iraq and we talked about it a lot, but we didn’t speak of his actions every single day. Reagan ignored AIDS and had Iran-Contra but STILL we managed to not have all conversations be about him. So first, we’ll nod to the liberal victory in Wisconsin in spite of Elon’s money, we’ll admit no shock about Republicans winning the Florida panhandle but are shocked that over 44% voted Democratically. And Corey Booker, vegan goes for 25:05 on the Floor setting a record. And? Meanwhile there’s lots of other headlines we can cover like Death Penalty for Luigi? Four Beatle’s movies? Hooters Goes Bust! There’s a lot of other headlines that don’t have HIS name directly attached. So let’s talk about those.

What could Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s appointment as Secretary of Health and Human Services mean for the public health of everyday Americans, given his history of vaccine misinformation? With measles already on the rise and deadly, and the looming threat of future pandemics, how might his leadership shape the nation’s response to infectious diseases? To find out, we spoke with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed—physician, epidemiologist, author, and county health commissioner. He is formerly the health director for the city of Detroit. As the host of the award-winning America Dissected podcast, he breaks down the forces shaping public health for tens of thousands of listeners each week.

Leslie is joined by Connie Livingston, Senior Lead Counselor at Empowerly, which empowers students to become the most successful version of themselves with personalized college and career guidance. Their tailored guidance helps students triumph over the college admissions process and spark the future of their dreams. Connie has worked in the field of college counseling since 2008. She began her career as an Assistant Director of Admissions at Brown University and has since moved on to Empowerly, where she has worked for the past three years. The pair examines the increasingly difficult college application process in the United States. More and more students are applying to college. More and more applications means a lower percentage of acceptance. So the bar has been raised. 4.0's are now 5.0's, competition is international, there are no more DEI policies or 'boxes' for affirmative action/diversity. So kids are taking SAT prep classes, doing a lot of outside work/volunteerism, etc. and additionally, parents are hiring college counselors. Here are the questions answered during the interview: 1. What does an outside college counselor do? 2. Is there a range of fees? (Some people think it's unattainable for them because of the price) 3. Do they help the students write their essays? (editing them, etc) 4. Is there any assistance with SAT's? 5. Does it increase a student's chances of admission if they utilize a college counselor that is separate from their high school's college counselor? 6. Why is Empowerly better than a student trying to solely use AI, like ChatGPT, to help them with the admissions process? The website for Empowerly is Empowerly.org. Their handle on Instagram is @empowerlyinc and you can find them on Facebook.com/empowerly as well.
