Shut It Down to Stop ICE—And How to Not Die While Saving the Planet | The Karel Show
At this point, there’s only one real move left: shut it down.
Democrats have the power to defund DHS and ICE, but it means being willing to shut down the government and force Republicans to finally blink. And here’s the truth: the public is with them. For millions of Americans, the federal government has become more destructive than helpful — and surrendering again would be unforgivable.
If it takes a shutdown to:
• Withdraw ICE
• End masked, unaccountable enforcement
• Stop a President from operating what looks like a private army
Then Democrats should hold the line and not give in. Do whatever it takes to stop the madness.
But it’s not all politics today.
We also turn to something deeply personal and hopeful: How Not to Die, the new documentary exploring plant-based eating for human health and the planet. The film is airing on UnChainedTV, and we’re joined by its founder and president Jane Velez-Mitchell to talk about why food choices matter — for longevity, climate, and our future.
Because surviving this moment isn’t just about politics — it’s also about how we live, eat, and care for ourselves and each other.
The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
