Is It Going to Be A Dark Christmas? 25-163

Headline BBC: New US security strategy aligns with Russia’s vision, Moscow says

Headline ABC: Supreme Court to reconsider 90 year old precedent of limiting Presidential Powers to Fire Heads of Independent Agencies

Headline Aaron Parnas: Trump Admin to instruct FBI to find extremist in the United States, including “radical gender ideology” , andi-ICE, pro-immigrant...including a way for people to turn people in.

These are terrifying. Things are MUCH worse than we thought. But it’s Christmas for goodness sake. People were out shopping, people were decorating, myself included. What else can we do? Panic?

And while many are out shopping, most are charging it according to research. Credit Card debt is going to increase exponentially in December. Because life is expensive.

So is this a last hurrah?

Why Are Humans Making Themselves Obsolete? The AI & Robot Dilemma | Karel Cast 25-162

Humans seem strangely driven to erase their own relevance. From the explosive rise of robotics to the unstoppable push toward advanced AI, we’re building machines that can do nearly everything we do — often better, faster, and cheaper. But here’s the real question: Why?

Why are we creating technology that replaces us instead of supports us?

Why are we racing toward automation knowing it will eliminate millions of jobs?

Why are humans so willing — even eager — to make themselves obsolete?

Today, we dive deep into the psychology behind humanity’s self-destructive tech obsession, explore what it means for our future, and break down the news of the day as only Karel can.

'BradCast' 12/3/2025: TN Special Election's 'Flashing Red Light Warning Sign' for GOP by Progressive Voices

Dozy Don Showing Cognitive Decline — And Why Won’t the Media Say It? | Karel Cast 25-161

Donald Trump’s behavior at his recent cabinet meeting raised serious questions about his cognitive health — from visibly bruised hands suggesting recent IVs or medical intervention, to falling asleep mid-meeting, to bizarre statements about “attacking boats on land.” Combined with years of confabulations, it’s getting harder to ignore the signs of progressive dementia. So why is the media ignoring it?

Today we ask the big, uncomfortable question: Is the media intentionally avoiding the truth about Trump’s condition? Major outlets won’t touch obvious inconsistencies — not even basic facts. Pete Hegseth’s order wasn’t a “war crime” because there is no declared war; it was premeditated murder. Trump’s MRI at nearly 80 years old and out of shape could not realistically be “normal.” But corporate media refuses to challenge the narrative.

Is this fear of corporate ownership? FCC pressure? Political backlash? And why are journalists ignoring the deadly decisions coming from Trump’s own cabinet?

Let’s talk about what’s actually happening — not the sanitized version the networks want you to hear.

This time on Code WACK!

We’re digging into big questions: Are reduced health insurance subsidies leaving Americans with a bad case of sticker shock? If you’re shopping on the ACA marketplace, what should you watch out for before picking a plan? And what happens if you're pre-authorized for treatment in 2025, but can't afford to renew with the same plan in 2026? (It's not pretty.)

For these answers and more, we talked to Sherry Davis Johnson — a former nurse turned long–time insurance agent in Southern California. Sherry has seen our challenging healthcare system from every angle, as a nurse and home health provider, insurance agent, and patient, having personally gone through five major surgeries in just two years. Today, she’s licensed in health, property, casualty, accident, and life insurance — and she’s here to help us make sense of it all.

America Is Like White-Water Rafting: Chaos, Crisis & What Comes Next | Karel Cast 25-160

America feels less like a country and more like a white-water raft—tossing us through political chaos, rising costs, and nonstop crises. Today, we break down the latest wave of turbulence.

Pentagon Pete explodes with “kill them all” rhetoric and then scrambles to shift blame onto an admiral after a devastating strike. Are we crossing the line into war crimes? What does it mean for America’s moral standing?

Meanwhile, Trump is spiraling as his approval ratings hit new lows, pushing him into full meltdown mode. And for everyday Americans, life isn’t much calmer: health insurance premiums, co-pays, grocery bills, and gas prices feel like a roller coaster nobody agreed to ride.

So is there any calm water ahead—or are the next three years going to be even rougher? Can the country withstand this level of instability?

Plus, Luigi shows up looking sharp in court while trying to get the gun and key evidence thrown out. If he succeeds… does the case fall apart? Could he actually walk?
