On this episode of Let's Just Talk, host Kathryn Raaker welcomes two distinguished guests.

First, Dan Perkins, expert on politics and current events, joins the show to discuss two major legal developments. In the first segment, he explores the District Court’s effort to remove Planned Parenthood funding from a bill already passed by Congress and signed into law. In the second, he examines the legal challenge to birthright citizenship in the Los Angeles District Court, including a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of newborns seeking reinstatement of certain funding. Known for his bold insights and the motto, “Political correctness isn’t always correct,” Dan brings his signature commentary to these pressing issues.

Our second guest, author Don Greco, shares his journey from a 33-year teaching career to becoming a successful novelist. Don introduces his latest book, Ghost Hawk, the final installment of The Youngstown Quintet. This historical novel offers a vivid narrative about the lives of American Indians in the 14th century.

The song "28 Angels" is not a statistic—it’s a requiem. The number in the title holds symbolic weight, chosen not to tally tragedy but to honor the gravity of it. This song channels grief into reflection, and remembrance into melody. It was written with reverence for lives lost, voices silenced, and the emotional echoes that remain.
The composition leans on orchestral warmth, emotional vocal depth, and lyrical sensitivity—not for spectacle, but for solace. It’s a piece meant to comfort the wounded, awaken the indifferent, and hold space for conversations many find too hard to begin.

⏩ How MAGA Is Stealing Your Most Valuable Asset: TIME | Karel Cast 25-114

America has been trapped in a cycle of outrage since Donald Trump’s rise and the MAGA movement. Every headline, every conversation, every policy fight is dominated by their agenda — and it’s costing you more than you realize. They’re not just robbing your peace of mind, they’re stealing your most valuable asset: your time.

From endless work hours to constant stress and nonstop political chaos, life in the USA feels hijacked. Is it even possible to take our time back — and live fully — under this system? Or has MAGA created a country where working, worrying, and watching are the only options left?

In today’s Karel Cast, we break down how your life is being drained by politics, power, and distraction — and what it will take to reclaim your future.

💀 Poverty Is Killing America’s Seniors | Karel Cast 25-127

New research reveals a heartbreaking truth: poor and middle-income seniors are dying years earlier than wealthy Americans. Poverty is literally killing our elders — and no one in power seems to care. Karel exposes how inequality, housing costs, and healthcare failures are quietly shortening lives across the country.

Plus — the Supreme Court’s next move could protect so-called “conversion therapy,” prioritizing free speech over human dignity. Karel asks: Why are we still afraid of sexuality and identity in 2025?

Also, half of all college grads move back home — because debt and rent make independence impossible. When will America finally make education free? And finally, one good note: California bans loud streaming ads. Gavin Newsom signs the kind of law we all wish every state had.

No Kings: Record Turnout — But Will It Matter? | Karel Cast 25-132

Thousands are hitting the streets again for the second “No Kings” Rally, and this time, the turnout could break records — over 2,500 events across America. But here’s the real question: will it actually change anything?

Karel dives into the heart of the movement — the hope, the energy, and the hard truth about what can and can’t be done to stop authoritarian overreach. As Trump flexes more power and the U.S. military obeys increasingly questionable orders, it’s time to ask: Where is the line — and who’s brave enough to draw it?

Plus: A deep look at America’s growing global tension, including dangerous operations in Venezuelan waters, and what it means for democracy here at home. And before the weekend hits — a lighter side: what’s new in entertainment and pop culture.

🔥 Voters Humiliate Trump As Democrats Roar Back | The Karel Cast

The blue wave is back — and Donald Trump is furious. From Virginia to New Jersey, New York to California, Democrats just swept the map, proving that Americans are ready to move on from chaos, culture wars, and Trumpism itself.

But the question now is: will Democrats finally fight like winners? Voters aren’t just rejecting Trump — they’re rejecting Biden fatigue and demanding a new, bolder progressive energy.

Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani’s historic win and electrifying speech reminded the country what real inspiration sounds like — echoing the passion and vision of Barack Obama himself.

Still, all isn’t calm: MAGA extremists are cornered and dangerous, ICE is under fire for shocking misconduct, and America’s political crash course continues.

Plus, Karel shares a heartfelt reflection on personal transformation following yesterday’s “crash” editorial — a reminder that growth often comes from the wreckage.

🎙️ The Karel Cast streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST on all major platforms — Apple, Spotify, iHeart, and Spreaker.

Voters Flip Trump the Bird As Mamdani Makes History

I write songs for the haunted, the hopeful, and the ones who still ache. These aren’t tracks—they’re testimonies. If you’ve ever loved and lost, scroll no further.

Rooted in emotional clarity and cinematic depth, I create music not for the charts, but for the moments in between—when silence begs for understanding and melody carries the words we can’t quite say. Every track is written with intention, produced with nuance, and shaped by a relentless pursuit of honesty. No gimmicks, no templates—just songs built to resonate long after the final note.

From timeless orchestral movements to progressive rock textures, I don’t follow trends—I follows truth. And when the world gets loud with noise, my work leans into stillness, offering solace to anyone still listening with both ears and heart.

Welcome to the other side of music—the side that means something.
