The Second World War began after Germany and Russia invaded Poland. Last week, Russia invaded Poland again in a story that made headlines in North America, but for only 24 hours. We know why the story was eclipsed, but should we revisit? Dr Janice Stein joins us for her regular Monday episode on this and more.

Christian Nationalism: Patriotism or Threat to America? | Karel Cast 25-113 In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the government and right-wing media call him a “true patriot.” But what if he wasn't? What if Christian Nationalism—the ideology he championed—is actually un-American, contradicting the very principles of the Founding Fathers? Karel takes a hard look at how Christian Nationalism has been weaponized to discriminate against LGBTQ people, women, immigrants, Muslims, and anyone outside their narrow worldview. Is this really patriotism—or the perversion of freedom and democracy? Meanwhile, Kirk's followers claim to support free speech, yet silence critics with doxxing, firings, and violent threats. The hypocrisy couldn't be clearer. Does Charlie Kirk's death prove it's time for America to divide into separate alliances—the free states vs. the hateful ones? The Founders left us the tools. The question is: do we have the courage? The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel. Please like, subscribe, and share at youtube.com/reallykarel.

Charlie Kirk Assassination: False Flag or Political Martyr? | Karel Cast 25-122 Charlie Kirk was assassinated in public in Utah, and the fallout is tearing the nation apart. MAGA immediately weaponized the killing, labeling the shooter a radical left activist without evidence, fueling division and anger. The President quickly blamed the left—something he did not do when lawmakers were murdered in their homes just a month ago. So, was this an attack by an extremist, or could it be a false flag designed to spark unrest, radicalize young people, push for martial law, and even suspend upcoming elections? Either way, the consequences are devastating for America's democracy. Join Karel as he breaks down the assassination, the dangerous political spin, and what it means for the future of the USA.

Why the Epstein Files Don't Matter Anymore | Karel Cast 25-121 We already know the truth: Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were close friends, and there's more than enough evidence pointing toward Trump's misconduct. But here's the problem—MAGA doesn't care. No matter how much proof is presented, they refuse to believe it. So why are Democrats still chasing Epstein files as if they'll change anything? Until there's a criminal conviction that sticks, Trump's cult loyalty makes him untouchable. Meanwhile, Israel escalates attacks abroad, raising tough questions: Is your frustration with Netanyahu's government or with the Jewish community as a whole? And on U.S. soil, the Supreme Court is eroding civil rights—driving while Mexican in Los Angeles is apparently enough to get pulled over. How much longer can this divided nation hold together before a breakup feels inevitable?

The summer is over but it has hardly been a period of repose and relaxation: the world has continued in its turmoil, not least at the behest of the US. In moves that have often baffled traditional US allies, the current Trump administration has made brash moves claiming to be about Making America Great Again (MAGA) but which ultimately seemed to signify US retreat from global leadership. From attacks on science and education within the US to courting Vladimir Putin while alienating the EU, Canada and other western allies, it seems as if the current US administration is intent upon making real China and Russia's wish for a multipolar world without a second, or indeed any thought.How do these changes manifest within the US? Is the external perspective even registering? Does it matter? And why does the Democratic Party seemingly find it so difficult to muster a response?

This week, we're airing part two of a documentary series, courtesy of Radio Diaries, about three radio personalities who had huge audiences in their time, but today, are largely forgotten. These days, we're used to media that thrives on conflict, that amplifies the most outrageous voices in the room. It's something we often trace back to shock jocks like Howard Stern, and in-your-face talk show hosts like Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh. But long before all those guys, there was Joe Pyne. At the height of his career in the 1950s, the New York Times called him the “ranking nuisance of broadcasting.” On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

On The Alan Sanders Show Episode 154, we dig into the real story behind the headlines! Is inflation cooling? We break down the July CPI numbers and how Trump's tariffs haven't seemed to be affecting inflation by any strong degree. We tackle President Trump's controversial federalization of D.C. police, sold as a crime crackdown. Democrats say there is a 26% drop in crime in 2025, but are those numbers rigged? Under-reporting and FBI data revisions, like the 2022 violent crime spike, hide the true crime picture. Plus, we dive into allegations of Rep. Adam Schiff leaking classified documents to hurt President Trump. We do ponder if former AG William Barr was colluding with DA Fani Willis, but while there is smoke, we don't have anything definitive, yet.

Hawk focuses on the DOJ's controversial memo stating there is no Epstein client list and that the case will not be further investigated, sparking bipartisan outrage.The episode examines Maxwell's 2021 Manhattan Federal Court trial, where she was found guilty of multiple counts of conspiracy and sex trafficking of minors, some as young as 14. Hawk goes through the testimony of the four victims who came forward, revealing chilling accounts of recruitment, grooming, and abuse carried out by Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein over a decade.Hawk also looks at the unusual prison transfer Maxwell received after meeting with Trump's former defense attorney, Todd Blanch, and the implications of high-level White House meetings discussing her case. The conversation explores the redacted Epstein files, questions about Epstein's death, and how political power and legal maneuvering are shaping the public narrative.This episode highlights the intersection of politics, justice, and the protection of victims, raising questions about government accountability, DOJ independence, and the real motives behind Trump's possible pardon of a convicted child sex trafficker.
