🔥 The truth is clear: PHEVs are one of the biggest automotive cons in history.

🧠The real smart, affordable, and low-cost choice is to go fully electric — especially with more budget BEV models launching next year.

What is There Left To Say About America? | 26-04
What Is Left to Say About America? Politics, Pizza, Prices & a Country at a Breaking Point | The Karel Cast Every day, I—and countless other hosts—go on air to talk about the state of America. And lately, it feels like the same grim message on repeat: Trump must go. Democracy is strained. The country is slipping. So the real question becomes: what is left to say? Has the era of a and warnings passed? If there’s no action—no accountability—are we just talking into the void? Is it time to stop pretending commentary alone can save a nation? Impeachment talk is growing again, but will leaders ever do what’s best for the country instead of protecting their party and their power? Also in today’s show: • Americans are falling out of love with pizza—sales are down, prices are up • A San Francisco pizza parlor battles DoorDash as a $30 order becomes $50—who can even afford convenience anymore? • A brawl breaks out on the Indiana Jones ride—isolated incident, or another sign we’re becoming something darker? This isn’t outrage for clicks. It’s a reckoning—with politics, culture, and ourselves.
