Here's the truth, there really aren't enough dreamers, DACA, etc, to worry about…numerically. Out of 310 million Americans there are allegedly less than three percent undocumented. Three percent for all our time? The math of America does not add up to the priorities of the government or the people. Plus, Karel is fed up, and is going to tell you why.

Donald Trump had chosen to leak a FBI memo, worse than Hillary every did, and here's why. Plus, here's why it's a good thing. And it's super bowl weekend and almost 17 million will do this. Plus a letter that may make YOU cry this time. Listen daily at reallykarel.com watch weekly on Free Speech TV and lifeinsegments.com and support at patreon.com/karel

Background Briefing 02-01-2018 by Progressive Voices

The state of the union address last night was one of the longest in history. As the Oligarch bloviated, it wasn't the message that was important. It was what came next. Plus a frank conversation about #MeToo and Mark Calling that you may not want to hear…and Karel has an Uber dilemma. Listen daily at reallykarel.com

In his first State of the Union address, Trump proposes massive infrastructure spending --- but there's a catch; FEMA is not ending emergency food and water aid in Puerto Rico after all; Maine's governor bans all new wind energy projects; PLUS: New Jersey's new governor goes all in on offshore wind and cutting carbon emissions... All that and more in today's Green News Report!
