TMI 05/09/2025 – Interview with Ricky Gaona, Documentary Filmmaker of Means TV’s “Parque Central”, Judge Quotes Shakespeare in Takedown of Trump, Gov. Evers Stands Up to ICE Czar Homan, more

Parque Central, exclusive to Means TV (means.tv), is a documentary about the sharp divides to be found in the day to day lives of those native to the Antigua, Guatemala area and the rich tourist-catering class that runs the city – Ricky Gaona comes to us to talk about his experiences in making such a visceral and vital look at how the need for money turns people into problems.

Next, we look at how Judge Beryl Howell used Shakespeare in permanently blocking Trump’s attempt to destroy law firm Perkins Coie and how that then stops Trump from doing the same to other lawyers who don’t agree with his edicts. Finally, we follow up on Governor Tony Evers’ memo on how to handle interactions with ICE agents, as Tom Homan, acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) threatened Evers with dire consequences over what was a perfectly legal statement by the Governor. Evers isn’t going to back down, and we let you hear it in his own words. All this and more on TMI for Friday, May 09, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Exactly what good is being the richest if you die?

Then, we discuss how the work requirements placed into the debt ceiling negotiations have a common backer with the child labor allowances being passed state by state in the last year or so. All this and more on TMI for Friday, June 2, 2023 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
