  • #164 - Summer of Love '25: Bernie's Revolution, Ideology's Attorneys, The Neutered Majority, "No Place For Violence"
    Jun 24 2025

    As the weather heats up, so does the stream of "news!"

    Bernie Sanders is back on the agitrail stoking civil unrest. "Are you ready for the revolution?"

    From the riots to Iran, everyone's interpretation is determined by political affiliation. Shall we have another failed impeachment party?

    After Wisconsin, we heard the same tired and temporary refrain: "no place for violence!" Since when?

    What happens when the people themselves are the agitprop agents with global reach?

    Why moderates don't matter.

    Will MAGA and the Marxists ever hug it out and go bowling? Show me your work!

  • #163 - Superbloom, Storytellers, and Steaming Piles of Truth
    May 30 2025

    Largely inspired by a strange trip to the dentist and Nicholas Carr's new book, Superbloom, Todd returns from his latest covert CIA mission to delve into how we've all been lied to: it turns out "sharing" more actually doesn't make people like you! Also, the disillusioning effects of abandoning comforting stories for naked truth. And why most instinctively avoid it.

  • #162 - Astro Barbie, Bernie's Sleeper Cells, Dinner With Hitler
    Apr 16 2025

    The Blue Origin "crew" thinks they made history. Laika the Space Dog and Valentina Tereshkova would like a word.

    Bernie and AOC's Revolutionary Agitation Tour continues. So do the arson attacks. Weird, huh?

    Bill Maher's blasphemous dinner at Berchtesgaden.

    Liberals are as responsible for Trump as MAGA.

    Any open society is by nature defenseless against effective totalitarian movements. Centrism is the only bulwark against fanaticism.

    Congrats Broncos!

  • #161 - Creative Equity & The Borg, Assassination Culture & Ellul
    Apr 9 2025

    Some believe AI levels the playing field. Will these tools castrate human creativity and imagination instead? Making everyone seem superficially clever but without an ounce of depth?

    New surveys indicates the left is increasingly embracing assassination and political violence as a whole. Duh. We needed a poll to tell us that? The media is asking why. The answer is surprisingly simple and resides in my archives: propaganda's goal is to create proselytes and militants; fanatics who are primed to take political action at a moment's notice. Bernie blew that oligarch whistle last month while Black Barry (bam ba lam) upped the agitation ante last week. Will run-of-the-mill conservative ever bother to respond or are they content posting memes?

  • #160 - Newton's 3rd Law of Extremism, Litigation Nation, Covid + 5, Red Demagogue Alert
    Mar 24 2025

    For every radicalization there's an equal and opposite radicalization. What happened to the supposed silent moderate majority? What does it mean if they're effectively dead? Emerson wrote about arguing with the "retained attorneys". When it comes to political discourse, and justifying political violence, are we in a race to the bottom? And are we debating or just litigating? What happens when post hoc rationalization rules?

    We're two months into Trump's term and the 2028 campaign has already begun. Are you ready for the AOC Era? Do you think the Democrats are hopelessly lost and destined to go the way of the Whigs? None other than Trump and the Republicans themselves offer a sobering warning. Mock AOC at your own risk; beware the bartender demagogue.

    The pandemic struck 5-years ago already! Did they deceive the public "for our own good," was the loss of institutional trust worth it? What happens next time there's a *real* emergency? Will anyone listen?

  • #159 - American Jacobins, A Summer of Love, Agitation, and Arson, A Somber Warning
    Mar 10 2025

    Episode 159 starts with a warning about China's social media propaganda infrastructure. There are hints it's in place and it will certainly be fully unleashed at some point. Immediately after Act Blue's USAID money dried up, Bernie Sanders goes on his Eat the Bourgeoisie Agitation Tour, inciting another summer of civil unrest. On cue, American radicals seized on his revolutionary rhetoric and embraced French Revolution symbolism - apparently without realizing it failed! Will these modern day Jacobins bring The Terror with them? Ask your local Tesla dealership.

    Also: Foreign Agitators and the case for The Alien Enemies Act, Dems need civil unrest; without identity politics they're lost without a message. ("Trump bad" doesn't count.) Hate him all you like, Trump is the most transformative president of our lifetimes and easily the most resilient ever. We now have Soros Radio! Finally, a serious warning for anyone who loathes Marxists.

  • #158 - The Speech: TDS Democrats Cross the Breaking Bad Rubicon
    Mar 5 2025

    In this quick episode of "Escaping the Cave," Todd explores the dramatic events of March 5, 2025, as Donald Trump addresses Congress, sparking a whirlwind of political and emotional reactions. He delves into the unexpected twists, including Trump's surprising announcement about a potentially resuscitated peace deal with Zelenskyy.

    The episode dissects the behavior of both political parties during this notable address, invoking Nietzsche and likening the opposition's refusal to cheer a young cancer survivor to a famous "Breaking Bad" plot line where basic decency and morality is smothered by self-interest. Todd scrutinizes the Democrats' response, eviscerating their lack of empathy and depth of political spite.

    Listeners can expect a thought-provoking analysis that challenges the fabric of political discourse today, drawing parallels between real-life political actors and fictional anti-heroes like Walter White. With emotional storytelling, Todd brings forward the complexities of political life, moral certitude, and public perception against the backdrop of a politically charged presidential address.

  • #157 - Dead Eye Jake & the Dementia Coup, Historic Media Shift, When Paid Agitators Attack
    Feb 28 2025

    (2/27/25) Todd opens 157 reflecting on the habit of using cliches in radio broadcasting, the Detroit Pistons' surprising winning streak, and shares an anecdote about an image which was taken down by Facebook for supposedly violating their guidelines. He humorously recounts his appeal and the continued absurdity of Facebook's supposedly improved moderation system.

    After obnoxiously congratulating himself on reading Trump's Ukraine strategy, your humble host again focuses on the seismic media-consumer shift that's killing the legacy liberal media cartels. From Joy Reid's firing to Maddow's and Olbermann's response to MSNBC's replacement, Ginger Goebbles, to Jake Tapper hilariously writing a book about Biden's dementia coverup...the funeral march is playing. And they know it. Can an institution exist if no one trusts it?

    The monologue moves to paid Soros activists protesting against DOGE and how the strategy isn't new. Toddzilla shares how he witnessed MoveOn's organizational shenanigans firsthand, with Occupy in 2011. There is no difference between activism and agitation; call them by name. They're agitators. It's what Marxists do. There's a proven way to fight them.

    Finally, are you ready for a pandemic sequel? Has USAID been laundering gain-of-function money to Africa?
