Why Kids Are Spiraling, Markets Are Crashing & Adults Won’t Step Up | The Karel Show 26-7Something is breaking — socially, politically, and economically — and today’s episode connects the dots.In Las Vegas, a man is suing the families of seven teens after a violent park attack. It’s not an isolated incident. I’ve been attacked twice by kids on e-bikes myself. Across the country, young people are acting out with little consequence, little guidance, and little accountability — often raised by overwhelmed adults who were never prepared to raise anyone at all.We also look at Brooklyn Beckham going public in a way that reflects a much larger generational unraveling — and ask what happens when kids are raised by kids in a culture with no guardrails.Meanwhile, Donald Trump tanked the markets, threatened Greenland (yes, again), and sparked renewed calls — including from a sitting Senator — to invoke the 25th Amendment. Congress, as usual, does nothing. As conditions escalate rapidly, the question isn’t if this gets worse — it’s who will finally act.We also break down:• Peet’s Coffee closing Bay Area locations• Starbucks downsizing nationwide• Whether the era of $10 coffee is finally ending• And yes — a determined coyote trying to reach Alcatraz 🐺 (so naturally, we bake him treats)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.If you value independent commentary, support the show at patreon.com/reallykarel — and please like, subscribe, and share.Broadcasting from Las Vegas with my service dog Ember 🐾#TheKarelShow, #CurrentEvents, #YouthViolence, #ParentingCrisis, #SocialBreakdown, #TrumpNews, #StockMarketCrash, #PoliticsToday, #CongressFailure, #GenZ, #MillennialParents, #EconomicShift, #CoffeeIndustry, #LasVegasNews, #CultureCommentary, #IndependentMedia, #PoliticalPodcast, #NewsAnalysis, #CoyoteStory, #Emberhttps://youtube.com/live/SlpjELft27oBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-karel-show--1368295/support.The Karel Show is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel and streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST.
