Gavin vs Trump: Why Newsom Stands Alone Against MAGA Madness | Karel Cast 25-78 Description: Why is Gavin Newsom the only one standing up to Trump and the MAGA machine? Today, House Speaker Mike Johnson invoked a vile image—saying Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a punishment once used on runaway slaves. The attack is more than words—it’s a dangerous escalation. As Trump’s authoritarian grip tightens, where is the resistance? Why does it feel like Newsom is fighting alone while the rest of the country spirals into chaos under MAGA control? In this episode of the Karel Cast, we break down: • The disturbing language from GOP leaders • Why Newsom’s defiance matters more than ever • How Trumpism continues to fail Americans: rising costs, broken systems, and growing division • And most importantly—why we must ask: Where is everyone else? 🟠 Support the show: https://patreon.com/reallykarel 🔴 Subscribe: https://youtube.com/reallykarel 🎧 Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and everywhere you stream. 📱 Follow Karel on TikTok & Instagram for daily clips. 🎙 Live Mon–Thurs at 10:30am PST Karel is a trailblazing broadcaster based in Las Vegas with his loyal service pup Ember. ⸻ Hashtags: #GavinNewsom, #DonaldTrump, #MAGA, #MikeJohnson, #TarredAndFeathered, #KingTrump, #AmericanPolitics, #KarelCast, #NewsomVsTrump, #StopMAGA, #Authoritarianism, #PoliticalCommentary, #TrumpIndictments, #GOPExtremism, #LasVegasMedia, #ProgressiveVoices, #YouTubePolitics, #LGBTQVoices, #CurrentEvents2025, #NewsAnalysis…

Trump Wages War With California Uses Troops As Personal Army | Karel Cast 25-77 Donald Trump has activated the National Guard under a rarely-used Title X order—and he’s sending them into California, targeting Governor Newsom in what many are calling a personal war disguised as immigration enforcement.

Is Trump creating his own private army to cement power and secure a third term?

🚨 Trump vs Pride: Why the Politics of Hate Is Escalating | Karel Cast Ep. 25-75 🌈 30:59

🚨 Trump vs Pride: Why the Politics of Hate Is Escalating | Karel Cast Ep. 25-75 🌈 IIn this powerful episode of the Karel Cast, we break down the GOP’s growing war on LGBTQ rights and visibility. Trump’s administration just erased Harvey Milk’s name from a Navy ship — during Pride Month — and declared June as “Title IX Month” instead, twisting the law to target trans rights. This isn’t new — the GOP has a long, shameful history of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. But we won’t be erased. They can cancel a month, but they can’t cancel Pride — because Pride is protest, resilience, and love. Also in this episode: 🐾 New science proves pets improve mental health — so why is pet ownership still restricted in so many places? 💊 A new pill could extend your large dog’s life — would you use it? 👉 Support the show at patreon.com/reallykarel 📺 Watch more at youtube.com/reallykarel 🎧 Listen on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, and more 📱 Follow on TikTok & Instagram @reallykarel ⸻ Hashtags: #LGBTQRights, #PrideMonth2025, #HarveyMilk, #TrumpHate, #TitleIX, #TransRightsAreHumanRights, #GOPAgenda, #QueerVoices, #PrideIsAProtest, #KarelCast, #PetWellness, #DogLifeExtension, #MentalHealthMatters, #LGBTQNews, #ProgressiveMedia, #CancelHate, #PrideNotPolitics, #QueerSolidarity, #StopTheHate, #PoliticalCommentary…
