Grassroots Organizing! Dissecting AI! Dolly Parton!!!
Legendary Midwest Academy organizer HEATHER BOOTH is introduced by JOHN STEINER and takes us deep into the grassroots with decades of wisdom on how to protect democracy and win a green-powered Earth.
She is changing and greening the world from the grassroots down, and here she tells us how.
From Florida ALISON GREENE tells us about going door-to-door to check on the realities of voter registration and protecting the vote count in the 2026 mid-terms, into which hundreds of millions of dark dollars are now pouring.
From ANTHONY FLACCAVENTO we hear of the mega discontent among America’s rural MAGA constituency, which is focused on economics rather than preserving democracy or Trump’s corruption. “Kitchen Table Populism” is what it’s about, he says.
Continuing our “Homebrew2 series” we welcome LEE FELSENSTEIN to dig deep into the issues of AI (which he calls Assisted Intelligence” and the data centers that are ripping American to pieces. He warns of crypto overcapacity and the inevitable burst that the bubble will soon experience.
The 29 elements of the mega crisis demand our attention, says MARGOT STEINER, as STEVE CARUSO chimes in by describing the “total collapse” in Russia.
Sharing Margot’s analysis from the NYTimes is MIKE HERSH who urges us not to “get in each other’s way.”
From VINA COLLEY in southern Ohio we hear more about the nuke power data center nightmare destroying her region.
Reminding us of G.W.Bush, DAVID GRACE fills us in on the agricultural anger surrounding Trump’s tariffs.
From AARON APPLEBY we hear about the AI bubble soon to burst.
Our erstwhile co-host MYLA RESON punctures the NAFTA lie of “new jobs” that won’t be coming from AI.
China expert PAUL KANGAS says courts there are protecting workers who are being displaced by AI.
KPFK Board Chair TATANKA BRICCA conjures the “seven generation” thinking of the Indigenous peoples and how our view of the future now must dominate everything, and warns that AI has no ethical programming that can serve the human race.
Regular listener MICHELLE ANONYMOUS lends us her usual brilliance.
Conjuring Peter Thiel’s charge that Barack Obama being the “anti-Christ,” prompts MIKE HERSH to point out that this accusation is in fact a confession.
DOLLY PARTON is a “warrior & a saint,” knowing that “if Christ were to come back as a woman, she would come back as Dolly Parton,” says JOHN STEINER.
She could’ve been a billionaire as well, says TATANKA BRICCA, but chose to invest in people.
We strongly urge Nashville to re-name its airport for her.
We also urge Mitch Robinson to shoot his free throws underhand! More on that in two weeks!!!
No Nukes...we will see you after Labor Day...in Solartopia...
