Leslie is joined by Fred Redmond, Secretary-Treasurer of the 60 unions and 12.5 million members of the AFL-CIO. The two discuss: - Why there is no source that Union workers trust more for information about politics than their fellow Union workers - How, despite the massive headwinds Democrats faced in this year's elections, Union voters turned out for Harris by a margin of 57%-41%, a slight advantage over 2020, after months of person-to-person contact focused heavily on pocketbook issues  - How, the Union vote, almost single handedly, kept the presidential race close across the Blue Wall and other battlegrounds. It also propelled Democratic Senate candidates to victory in closely contested races - S.T. Redmond's take on the nomination of Lori Chavez-DeRemer for Labor Secretary - His reaction to the selection of Gwynne Wilcox to succeed Lauren McFerran as the new chair of the NLRB - His concern and frustration at House Republicans, President-Elect Trump and Elon Musk forcing the federal government to the brink of a shutdown, and how it would leave so many hard working Americans without a paycheck right before the Holidays In 2022, S.T. Redmond he was unanimously elected to the position as the highest ranking African American officer in the history of America’s labor movement.His path to the federation’s second-highest office began in 1973, when he went to work at Reynolds Metals Company in Chicago and became a member of the United Steelworkers (USW). He was active in his local union almost immediately, serving as shop steward and eventually vice president. He served three terms as local president. In 2021, Redmond was elected president of the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas, a prestigious international post.

🔥 It Was The Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times 2025 | Really Karel 🔥 by Progressive Voices

Don’t Spend 2025 Doing This | | Really Karel 🔥 Karel Cast 24-181 The new year is just 14 days away. And it’s shaping up to be…interesting, life changing, world-changing, so many things. But there’s one thing we must all stop doing in 2025…one simple but difficult thing: Stop arguing with idiots. Stop, in life, on social media, just quit. Examples: I posted a thread about cursive writing, and was attacked telling me how needless it is. It isn’t needless, it teaches more than writing, it teaches brain development, motor skills, so much more. But look what’s happened without it over the years. Dumbed down populous anyone? Veganism: It’s the way. Show people the way. But arguing with them about it is pointless. Most people are just too stupid to understand things that are for their own good. Show them the way, tell them why it should happen, and then leave it there. Trump Supporters: They will never, ever, see the light, and if they do, it won’t be from you. Live your best life, support your causes, fight your battles. But leave idiots alone.

Will You Regret Not Fixing Your Anger Issues in 30 Days? | Really Karel Karel Cast 24-180 Last night I had a chance to go over writings of mine from my 30s and 40s. They were angry…and many verged on homophobia. Why was I so mad? And why did so many places want my show and column when I was? Anger today is what wins elections, but anger is ugly, and harmful. And fills me with regret. Nickel Boys, a new film, shows yet again the horrors of being Black in America in our recent past. Why aren’t all Blacks more angry? And why do Whites tell them they shouldn’t be…they SHOULD be angry, for a long, long time…but is it productive? As the year ends maybe it’s time to let the anger go America. It doesn’t serve us well.

A shocking murder on The Avenue of the Americas, and the surprising response of many Americans revealed that we are capable of compassion and outrage at the same time. Today’s commentary looks at how the healthcare insurance industry is more reviled than the New England Patriots in their Super Bowl-winning rampage years. I hope you’ll take a listen.

The guest host for today's 'Leslie Marshall Show' episode is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is joined by Rep. Ro Khanna, who represents California's 17th Congressional District, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, and is serving his fourth term. As a leading progressive in the House, Rep, Khanna is working to restore American manufacturing and technology leadership, improve the lives of working people, and advance U.S. leadership on climate, human rights, and diplomacy around the world. Brad and Rep. Khanna discuss his 'new economic deal,' and how Democrats need to talk about economic revitalization in de-industrialized towns, and how they're going to give Americans a raise. Rep. Khanna highlights the sad irony that Republicans who were just elected to power, are not going to do anything to address the main economic issues that Americans are clamoring for help with. Instead, they are talking about dismantling the social safety net, killing the CFPB, and cutting healthcare programs to fund tax cuts for the rich. However, Rep. Khanna highlights how when Americans mobilized during the last Trump administration to prevent cuts to popular domestic programs, they were successful. He believes that there is a viable path to stop these cuts again, as long as Americans make their voices heard in massive numbers in opposing these cuts. Rep. Khanna also argues that 'Medicare for all' needs to be the Democrats' North Star for healthcare, and that then the party can talk about the incremental measures that they can use to get there. A recent study by Yale epidemiologists found that Medicare for All would save around 68,000 lives a year while reducing U.S. health care spending by around 13%, or $450 billion a year. Rep. Khanna also details a bill that he co-sponsored with Senator Bernie Sanders that would eliminate medical debt. He uses the staggering fact that 42% of Cancer patients go bankrupt within two years of being diagnosed to highlight why this is so necessary. Lastly, Rep. Khanna discusses his brand new political reform and anti-corruption bill designed to clean up corruption in politics. The plan calls for: - 12-year term limits for Members of Congress;  - A ban on Members of Congress from holding and trading individual stocks during the Member’s tenure;  - A ban on Members of Congress and candidates for the House and Senate from accepting contributions from political action committees and lobbyists, and a lifetime ban on lobbying for Members of Congress; - A binding code of ethics for Supreme Court Justices; and 18-year term limits and regular appointments for future Supreme Court Justices, requiring a new Justice to be added and another to rotate off every two years. Rep. Khanna serves on the House Armed Services Committee as ranking member of the Subcommittee on Cyber, Innovative Technologies and Information Systems (CITI), as co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans, a member of the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, and on the Oversight and Accountability Committee, where he previously chaired the Environmental Subcommittee. His website is www.Khanna.House.gov. Brad writes a political column every Sunday for 'The Hill.' He's on the National Journal's panel of political insiders and is a national political analyst for WGN TV and Radio in Chicago and KNX Radio in Los Angeles.

What's REALLY Happening This Week in Tech 2025 | Really Karel Karel Cast 24-178 We spoke of PTSD this week. We have so much flying at us every day, we never really take the time to deep dive any more . For instance, the nation is still split on whether Luigi is a hero or felon; and are angry at health care. But what will come of it all, and how long before we move on. Biden has just given clemency to more people than any other Presidents, should he open the doors to the Bastille and let people go if they are first time, non violent offenders? All of them? And the biggest story, about how our health and diet should change, and how we are living longer, sicker, than any other nation, almost 14 years of our lives spent sick, isn’t getting any play, but should. All of this around the holidays which have their own drama. So, when do we actually take a minute to deal with it all, or do we ever?

This time on Code WACK! What questionable justifications did a major insurance company give to repeatedly deny coverage to treat a baby’s brain tumor? What would have been the financial impact on the family if they had to pay for their baby's treatment out-of-pocket? What specific health policies could we implement to avoid situations like this? To find out, we spoke to Dr. Eunice Stallman, a psychiatrist in Idaho and mother of two-year-old Zoey, who has suffered seizures and developmental delays because of a brain tumor discovered when she was an infant. This is the second episode in a two-part series. Check out the Transcript and Show Notes for more!
