TMI with Aldous Tyler

On today's TMI, Attorney General Bill Barr denies Trump's allegations that there was any electoral or voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of the Presidential Election - we discuss. Then, we talk about what kind of God was compatible with a great scientific mind like Einstein: specifically, the God outlined by Baruch Spinoza. It's not the kind of God you'll find preached about in almost an...

On TMI's most in-depth single interview to date, we discuss Thomas Frank's latest book, "The People, No - A Brief History of Anti-Populism" , a revealing look at how unjustly vilified the notion has become of the people standing up and banding together to see that their needs are addressed as much as the needs of the elites are. Thomas and I go deep into the subject, exploring the fascinating conn...

With the 2020 election in the rear-view mirror, it was alarming to see minorities of various kinds being blamed for how close it got in many states between Trump and Biden, as well as for the Senate losses that had been predicted to go the other way. We dissect this, and show just how distorted this kind of blame is, and where it actually belongs. Then, I go over a new COVID-19 hotline for the cit...

On this episode of TMI, friend of the program Steve Horn joins us to discuss what President-elect Joe Biden's history with climate related issues, and what to watch for as we focus on forcing his hand to help the planet.

On today's episode, you'll get the wrap-up of the 11/03/2020 election as we know it by time of broadcast. Then, we go over how there are indications that versions of prehistoric humanity (Sapiens and Neanderthal) were at war with each other. Finally, in a rare TMI treat, we go over some tunes you will hear on the broadcast, and what they mean to your humble host. All this and more on TMI for Frida...

We go over the tremendous early voting that's occurred in 2020, unprecedented in the history of the United States, and the possible ramifications of it. Then, we talk about how Chileans have managed to not only force a vote on whether or not to completely scrap and remake their nation's Constitution, but the results of that vote. We go over the tremendous early voting that's occurred in 2020, unpr...

On this episode of TMI: Friend of the program Carl Gibson has a new piece out at the Independent called "The most democratic thing Joe Biden could do is pack the courts" - he joins us to discuss why this vilified idea is a good one. Then, we talk about how the very same words often seem to have two completely different meanings depending on your political viewpoint - could Artificial Intelligence...

On this episode of TMI: Homelessness plagues America, and  Madison, Wisconsin is no exception to the issue. Candidates and  office-holders bemoan the problem, but a true SOLUTION is being put  forward by Occupy Madison . Brenda Konkel joins us to share what OM's plans are for their SECOND Tiny Home village, an improvement over their  already successful FIRST one - listen in, an...

Noticed initially a few months back, President Trump's support among one of the GOP's most staunch base, white people over 60, seems to be declining. We examine what this might mean for November 3rd. Then, we talk about what has been happening among the movie industry this year, something we've been told has been on the decline now for years. Is the era of GOING to the movies over? We discuss. Fin...

The University of Wisconsin - Madison's own engineers pioneered the badger shield and badger shield plus early on in the pandemic to help increase the safety of essential workers, and now they've come up with a way to make all face masks much more efficient in the fight against COVID-19. Check it out! Then, we discuss the voter purge effort that sits in front of Wisconsin's notoriously conservativ...

Former Facebook data scientist Sophie Zhang revealed activity across the  world that, for her over two years with the company, Facebook gave her  complete control and responsibility over, making her pick and choose  which sabotaging political communications were to be blocked, and which  allowed, causing her to conclude "I have blood on my hands." We look  deep into the ge...

When you think of the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, SD, you don't  usually make connections to the campus of UW Madison - but 2020 being  what it is, there's an unfortunate resemblance this time. We'll go over  that. Then, there have been dozens of scientific journals that  have disappeared in the last few years, causing potential research gaps  of alarming proportio...

Looking forward to November 3rd, we are so used to thinking about  Election Night as this huge decisive moment - but what if it wasn't? We  explore how, this year, things are almost certainly going to look very  different, and the politicization of the pandemic will likely make the  electoral map of November 3rd look very misleading - and much "redder" -  than the final ou...

By now, the world has heard about the shooting of Jacob Blake seven times in the back, but of course, the facts surrounding it have already been spun by people trying to justify the murderous actions of the Kenosha officer and the 17 year old vigilante just days later. To combat that, we go through a complete timeline of the actual facts on hand, so be sure to listen in so you don't get sucked int...

Twelve years ago, we were jubilantly celebrating the Democratic  Party’s nomination of Barack Obama for the office of President of the  United States. What was widely ignored was the red flag that had already  popped up, warning that his administration wasn’t going to be the  progressive dream we’d been led to believe: Joe Biden. By choosing the  Senator from Delaware as h...

On this week's TMI with Aldous Tyler: Fossil fuel giant Chevron has found an Orwellian way to connect sunshine with drilling fracking wells - so much so, that I'm dubbing them "OrWells". Friend of the show Steve Horn returns to fill in the maddening details on that story as well as how a California official got in trouble for wanting to "block out the Sun" and finally how prisoner firefighters mig...

For those of you looking to just catch the interview of Preston Scott Smith of the March to Replace Biden, here it is, among with a little intro and outro music. Enjoy!

Listen and feel  reconnected to humanity. Then we talk to Preston Scott Smith of the March Against Biden ,  an event happening in over 20 locations tomorrow, August 8th and again a  week later on Augus...

Trump and the GOP are playing us AGAIN. By attacking vote-by-mail as being highly prone to fraud by voters (it's not, BTW), he's tricked the establishment Dems into a full throated defense of it. Why is that a problem? Because voting by mail DOES have a major flaw, but IN TRUMP'S FAVOR: many, and I mean MANY places have managed to put regulations and shady tricks in place to cause MILLIONS of mail...

As the polls go, it looks more and more likely that there's no way Trump could possibly win the next election. However, that might not matter because, with a combination of tricks used in 2016 and brand new avenues that have been opened up since, Trump has already stolen the 2020 election. But don't lose hope! Joining us this episode is Greg Palast, author of "How Trump Stole 2020", and he's not o...

Tonight's episode has three topics for your enjoyment: first up, we expose something you know in a way you've never thought about it before; then at 10:00, we talk about billionaire cannibals; finally at 21:30, we discuss how those of us who fight for equality might help the cause, by lowering resistance to the idea. Listen in!

The George Floyd protests have allowed Black Lives Matter to make tremendous strides forward in their goal of social justice for black people, and it seemed that with each step forward, the media was all too ready to talk about the latest window broken, statue toppled or fire set in protest. What has barely been touched upon are the over 300 instances of retaliation suffered by BLM protestors and...

This episode of TMI is devoted to a man I first met on Facebook over seven years ago. Co-chair and 2016 Presidential Candidate of the Socialist Party USA, he was a tireless champion of the people, and a seemingly endless resource for modern Socialism. Cancer took him just over a week ago. I felt compelled to pay tribute to a man who, though I never met in person, was the kind of person where that...

If you find the protests going on confusing, irritating or frightening, you need to listen to this week's episode. We go through exactly what is at the core of it all, and hopefully help you get a handle on the changing society we live in. At the very least, this should help you understand what is meant by "Black Lives Matter".
