AI Climate Data Centers Election Integrity Episode Greg Palast Linux Thom Hartmann Vigilantes Vote Stealing WSUM

TMI 02/07/2025 – Greg Palast on the Hard Numbers of Trump’s 2024 Election Theft, How Linux Kernel 6.13 and DeepSeek Could Usher In an Era of Climate-friendly AI, more

Investigative Reporter Greg Palast has recently been on The Thom Hartmann Program to give the news that Trump and his allies STOLE the 2024 Presidential Election, just as Greg had predicted with his documentary on electoral shenanigans “Vigilantes Inc”. He joins us today to get the most airtime ANY program has yet given him to go over the hard numbers that took MONTHS to fully compile – it takes time when not everyone wants to cooperate with an investigation! Tune in for a DEEP dive that shows that not only does Trump have NO “mandate” to do what he’s doing, he has no right to be President at all!

Next, we find out that the energy-ravenous data centers that are expanding tremendously to accommodate the exponential growth of AI have been given a tool to use LESS energy in all that computing from an unexpected source: just 30 lines of code in the Linux kernel used by many of those servers! Combine that with the reported efficiency of the nascent AI DeepSeek, and we may be able to include AI in a future that DOESN’T destroy the environment… that is, if we don’t blow the rest of the effort.

AIDS Big Pharma Billionaires Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) Clara Mattei Economics Episode Jessica Wildfire The Sentinel Intelligence Tulsa WSUM

TMI 01/31/2025 – Clara Mattei Introduces Us to the Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE), The History of AIDS & How Big Pharma Kills for Profit, Obsolescence Was Invented to Make Billionaires, more

We are joined once again by Professor Clara Mattei, Director of the nascent Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) at the University of Tulsa. CHE’s entire mission is formed around breaking the grip of the exploitative model of economics we are all too familiar with and finding a better path. Listen in to give the middle finger to Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand.

Then, we look at how the history of the AIDS epidemic is rife with examples of how Big Pharma places its unquenchable thirst for exorbitant profits far above any concern for the lives its wondrous medicines could save. Finally, Jessica Wildfire’s post at The Sentinel Intelligence tells how obsolescence was an idea purposefully put into place to ensure the profits kept rolling in – right to the top!

TMI 01/24/2025 – Bishop Budde’s Own Words of Mercy, SCOTUS Calls Montana’s ISL Bluff, Our Friend Ahmed Shows Beauty During Hardship, Alabama Uses Prisoners Like Slaves, more

Bishop Mariann Budde is being attacked mercilessly for calling for mercy. We start this episode with something her detractors in the Trump Administration and the media won’t give you: her own words. You can judge for yourself if anything she gave in her appeal to President Trump for mercy was remotely “nasty” or even vaguely wrong. Next, We look at how SCOTUS has rejected Montana’s attempt to use the Independent State Legislature (ISL) theory to circumvent their courts’ rulings on their measures to suppress voting – SCOTUS got this one right!

Then, we give a special look at misterG’s report on his friend Ahmed, a wonderful musician and teacher living in Gaza who has been steadfast in spreading music despite the genocidal warfare there. For more, be sure to tune into greenarrowradio on WSUM 91.7FM Saturday, January 25, 2025 or stream it live on wsum.org.

Finally, we look at how Alabama’s “work release” program makes the state so much money that they don’t like granting parole – it reduces the number of prisoners they can profit from. All this and more on TMI for Friday, January 24, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Amanda Moore Big Oil Department of Justice Donald Trump Episode Freelance Journalism Greenwashing Greenwood Hawaii Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) SCOTUS Tryptophan Tulsa Race Massacre WSUM

TMI 01/17/2025 – Amanda Moore Sounds Alarm on Journalism Under Trump, SCOTUS Sides With Hawaii Over Big Oil, DoJ Report on Tulsa Massacre of 1921 Released, Tryptophan Tripped Life’s Beginnings, more

We start this episode with an interview of Amanda Moore, freelance journalist specializing in exposing the far right in the USA, as she alerts us to how the normally difficult life of freelance reporting is being made all the more tenuous by the incoming Trump Administration – even before inauguration! Next, we head to SCOTUS, where the Justices have cleared the way for Hawaii to continue their lawsuit against Big Oil for their decades of greenwashing propaganda.

Then, we go over the new and comprehensive report that Biden’s Department of Justice just released on the over-100-year-old Tulsa Race Massacre. Unlike the first DoJ report from 1921, this 126 page report goes over every crime committed upon the Greenwood community of Tulsa during that horrific event. Finally, tryptophan, the amino acid that is associated with getting sleepy, snuck in during our nap and upset how we envisioned the beginning of life on Earth.

BEST OF TMI 01/10/2025 – SCOTUS Trans Youth Rights Case Can Destroy All Women’s Rights, Finland Seizes Russian Spy Ship, Fighting Smear Campaign Against Jimmy Carter, Quantum Teleportation Breakthrough, more

Rebroadcasting the first TMI for 2025, we look at how the arguments being used to take rights away from trans youth would, if allowed to be the basis by SCOTUS for their decision, also decimate rights for all women in the United States, cis and trans alike! Next, we move over to Finland, who in investigating the damage caused to the power cable that connects Estonia to their grid, took in a tanker that had a full complement of Russian spy equipment and personnel.

Then, we look at the despicable attacks being leveled against former President Jimmy Carter by CNN, Fox and others, all based around his 2006 book where he recalled his attempts in the late 1970s to make peace between Israel and Palestine, referring to Israel as an “apartheid” state. They dug up all the old controversy without noting that NONE of what Carter reported would be considered remotely inaccurate today. Finally, we take a glimpse at a breakthrough in quantum teleportation, where they were able to instantaneously transmit the complete photonic state between locations separated by 30km worth of very busy Internet fiber cable.

California Department of Energy Episode Florida Joe Biden LNG Media Minimum Wage Transgender Transphobia USA Today Wall Street Journal WSUM

TMI 12/27/2024 – Corporate Media Denies Success of CA’s Minimum Wage Hike, FL Dept of Corrections Uses Conversion Therapy Tactics, Biden Admin Admits LNG Is Equivalent to Coal for Climate Crisis, more

Despite full page ads taken out by lobbying groups in USA Today and complicit articles in the Wall Street Journal decrying the maneuver, the Minimum Wage increase in California for fast food workers appears to have been an unmitigated success. We look at who exactly is behind the spin and why we need to be careful who we listen to when it comes to things that benefit the working class, not the billionaires.

Next, we find that Florida’s Department of Corrections is under fire for employing conversion therapy-like practices on transgender inmates. Trans inmates report being coerced or pressured to conform to their sex assigned at birth, with tactics that include denying access to gender-affirming care, misgendering, and other forms of psychological manipulation likened to conversion therapy.

Finally, Biden’s Department of Energy recently released an updated study evaluating the implications of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. The report states that LNG export expansion would lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm emphasizing that such expansion is “neither sustainable nor advisable” for the climate. It’s the first time any US Presidential Administration admitted that LNG is NOT good for the climate.

Brian Thompson Episode George Carlin Immune System Jessica Wildfire Luigi Mangione Michael Moore Sicko The Sentinel Intelligence Vaccination WSUM

TMI 12/20/2024 – George Carlin’s Wisdom and Insight Was NOT Immune to One Critical Flaw: The Immune System, Michael Moore Responds to Being Name-Checked in Luigi Mangione’s Manifesto, more

In this episode, we show that even the most sacred of American cows, George Carlin, had his limitations when it came to the wisdom to be found in his humor. Jessica Wildfire’s piece at The Sentinel Intelligence takes on his famous comedy routine about germs and the immune system, where Carlin proposed that exposing yourself to germs helps your immune system “practice” and become stronger. This fundamental misunderstanding itself infected popular culture and became one of the most dangerous pillars of science-denial to be found in the anti-vaxxer arsenal.

Next, we look at Michael Moore’s response to being namechecked by alleged vigilante Luigi Mangione. Moore answered the question the media had been breathlessly asking him since his name appeared in Mangione’s manifesto: Does Michael Moore condemn murder? Going over his library of work, he cited how his entire career has been about exposing how people’s lives were repeatedly thrown away, destroyed and yes, murdered, by so many things that the American populace takes for granted, including the health care industry in his 2007 film, Sicko.

Albertsons Civil RIghts Department of Justice Donald Trump Episode GOP Harmeet Dhillon Health Insurance Kroger LGBTQ+ Project 2025 Tariffs Universal Health Care WSUM

TMI 12/13/2024 – People Think Health Care Has To Be Unaffordable, GOP Officials Push Back on Trump, Dhillon is a Stealth Disaster for Civil Rights AAG, Albertsons Sues Kroger for Failed Merger, more

On this episode of TMI, we explore one of the fundamental misunderstandings about health care in the USA: that the bills we receive are the ACTUAL cost of the care. Going through a number of examples, we see that what is being billed is often ten times the cost OR MORE. Because of this deceptive pricing, many people are genuinely concerned when universal coverage comes up and they ask “HOW will it get paid for”? Taking out the need to profit shrinks the pricing to affordable size.

Next, GOP officials throughout the country are responding to the reality that mass deportations and trade war tariffs would ruin their local businesses, and have begun to push back to stave off disaster for their constituents. Then, we look at the nominee who has flown completely under the media radar who spells BIG trouble for civil rights in the USA: Harmeet Dhillon. Dhillon’s anti-trans litigation history and many other issues make her distinctly abhorrent to hold the office in charge of upholding the civil rights of Americans.

Finally, in what is admittedly a bit of schadenfreude, we look at how the proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons not only failed, but was so spectacularly demolished that Albertsons is suing Kroger over it.
