#155 - DOGE Derangement, Marxism's Long March, The Counter-Revolution

Ready? Fuck it. Let's do it.

Hi, kids. Welcome to another episode of Escaping the Cave. It is the Toddzilla X-Pod. I'm Todd. Hi there. It's episode number 155. Third one. Second one that week. I'm getting ahead of myself. What happens? Record date here is February 12th, 2025. It is a beautiful, snowy... Eh, not quite yet. Wednesday afternoon. Another winter storm warning in effect, I think. Seems like every week on Wednesday, we get a storm. Ice storms. Snow storm this week. Winter in lovely Michigan. It's

kind of cool. I'm glad this year we bought this big, huge snow blower. Right after we bought it, nothing happened. Yeah. At least I'm going to get a workout. I hope you're good. Now, you know, I don't know where to... There's no way to keep up with all this. Absolutely not. You just can't. There is no way that you can do it. As you sit in front of a TV or next to your phone and just keep refreshing, refreshing, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, you're not going to be able

to keep up with everything that's happening in this country right now. Just no way. And God forbid you're trying to produce anything. You miss a day, you gotta start over. You miss that day, you gotta start over again. So, you know, fuck it. I don't care. I just don't care. I'm gonna do the best that I can. And we'll see where the shit splatters. Hopefully it goes with the wallpaper. That's all I can say. Anyway, what's the big thing now? It's the doge. The doge outrage. Their outrage.

Just the left now, I guess. It all seems like far left to me at this point. But they're just... I want to say for klept. I use that word a lot. I know, I know, I know. I use it a lot. But they are. They're out in the streets. Trying to get out in the streets. At least the politicians are out in the streets. I don't know if you saw this yesterday. There's this big, little old rally. Well, it's a big one. You know how I know it wasn't big? because the crowd shots

were all tight on the stage. There was nothing wide. See, that's the thing you can do. Let me give you a little pointer, being a former photographer here. If you really want to deceive whomever sees your artwork and make the crowd seem bigger, you get really tight on it. So they can't see around the margins at how sparsely populated your moment of righteous activism really is. Remember the million, what was it, Occupy?

Trying to have like a million-something or other march, I don't know, five, ten years ago. They came to Kalamazoo. I don't think we had lived here at that point in time. I don't think we'd come back. But yeah, they tried something down in Kalamazoo here. And I think of Bronson Park. And there was nobody there. Hardly anybody there. It looked like 30 people, but they tried. There were little journalists who tried. They'd get all these people together, probably told them to get together.

Get really tight. And then took a low shot. And it made it look like, implied, there was a righteous revolution happening downtown Kalamazoo when it was really just basically an activist fart storm. Well, that's the impression that I got yesterday. You can tell by the sound. There was nothing there. There was hardly anything. It was just, yay, like two, three people. It sounded like it was more than two or three people. I don't know how many there were because you couldn't tell.

You know, I thought that incitement of violence was sort of a criminal act, a vile thing to do in a thriving democracy.

Did you see the woman, I think it was maybe about a week ago, talking about Elon Musk and saying that we are at, I mean, she said this passionately, repeatedly. Music. We are at war. We'll see you in the streets. All right, a foment. Is that the right word? Foment or forment? I don't know. Whatever. I shouldn't use big words on this podcast anyway. Somebody told me that. It's a sign of white supremacy if you use big words. So God forbid I do that. Trying to start. Trying to ignite.

The Righteous Revolution against Elon Musk, President Elon, they call him, and Donald Trump. I said back in December, didn't know really which way this was going to go. I remember the BLM. And where are they? Just tweeting. That's all they're doing. Very, not even doing that very often. But after, you know, they came out after the Daniel Penny thing, I started agitating again. And I was wondering if this was going to be some sort of a, you know, another summer of 2020.

I didn't expect the resistance to be so impotent. And that's what this reminds me of. They're trying like hell. It looks like these politicians, these Democrats, they have nothing else. They have no way of stopping Trump legislatively. They have legislative dysfunction. Let's call it that. Tulsi Gabbard, that was supposed to be the big question, whether or not she was going to get confirmed. Well, it just happened a couple hours ago. She was indeed confirmed.

Nobody has been stopped. None of these appointments. Pete Hegseth confirmed. Tulsi Gabbard confirmed. RFK is coming up. His vote's coming up. Kash Patel, oh, my God. I'm looking forward to this. I may have mentioned in the open to the last episode that the ICE folks trying to go and arrest these Tren de Aragua gang members, these illegal criminals, illegal immigrant criminals in this country. So they're planning their little raids.

Somebody on the inside, somebody in the FBI, apparently, is leaking this information. They've had news crews showing up before ICE to cover the raids or maybe tip off these gang. These are gang members. Venezuelan gang members. The media is tipping them off. Someone in the FBI is tipping them off. Obviously, if you're dealing with a violent gang and you're tipping them off before law enforcement comes to drag them back to Venezuela, you're putting people's lives at risk.

And not only that, what if there's some kind of a shootout? You know, these gang members are armed. What happens then? Innocent bystanders, what if a poor innocent child, whose fault is that? They'll try to spin it that it's ICE's fault that they came in and they were just, you know, reckless. That's how they'll try. Of course, they'll try to spin it that way. But really, were they?

If you tipped off the gang that they were coming, took away the element of surprise, had them barricaded inside an apartment building, let's say in Aurora, and a gunfight breaks out because they weren't surprised. Whose fault is that? But I don't know if this rises to the level of treason, but it's something. I'll leave that to people much smarter than me. And Pam Bondi has said emphatically and with no equivocation that that's exactly what's going to happen.

They are going to be prosecuted. whoever's leaking this. Tom Holman said he thought it was somebody in the FBI. Bambani didn't exactly discount that theory earlier today. Kash Patel. He's yet to be confirmed. Adam Schiff really doesn't want this to happen. Adam Schiff, oh my God. He of the freshly pardoned Schiffs in California. Railing against Kash Patel all week. I didn't really have an opinion about Kash Patel before. I do now.

I want to see him at the head of the FBI. I want to see what happens. I want to see the shit show, the bloodbath. I want to know. Inquiring minds want to know. I want to know what's going on in the FBI. Just the same as I want to know what's going on of these federal agencies that Elon Musk, tasked by Donald Trump, is starting to shine some light upon.

Isn't it interesting that as soon as they started finding the bureaucratic rot within the federal government, the corruption, incompetence, however you want, whatever, as soon as they started finding that, that's when the Democrats decided to get all up in arms and start to agitate, start to call their faithful out into the streets. As soon as that started. Even the Wall Street Journal said, what the fuck are you doing?

Why are you standing up for bureaucrats and not standing with Republicans to try to figure out where the wasteful spending, where the bureaucratic rot? The hole in the federal budget boat is. Why are you so passionately defending that? Wall Street Journal. Nobody has a problem. Almost nobody has. The typical suspects, the typical 30% who are the extreme far left. I always count on them to not have a problem with shit like that.

But everybody else, it's like a 70-30 approval on what Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing inside of these federal agencies right now, gutting the wasteful spending, the corruption. I'm going to call it the bureaucratic rot one more time. 70% of the entire country, this includes Democrats, want this to continue, want this to go on, and they really want to know what's happening inside of those agencies. And the Democrats, this is the hill. This is the thing that they think.

Is gonna drag the rats back out into the streets. Isn't that a Metallica song? Just like the Pied Piper that rats in the street. No, a Megadeth song.

Symphony of Destruction. You know what? It fits. Doge is the Symphony of Destruction. But this is the thing. This is the thing that gets these fucking people animated. And I'm sorry, I'm not going to really try to censor or clean up my languages because have you heard? Everybody wants to fuck Trump now. This was the big thing. This is their big statement.

This is their big coming out party, I guess, to try to motivate people out of their homes to join them in righteous revolution in the streets, they decided to say, fuck Trump. Repeat, did you see this sea hag from Oregon? I don't swear in public very well, but we have to fuck Trump. Music. Children that I just did that? What the fuck was that? How do you not cringe? How do you... I don't even know what to say. Who is this? What is this?

This is supposed to be taken as a serious and legitimate alternative to Trump.

Oh my god, I said fuck. 70% of the people in this country agree with what's going on. They want to see the wasteful spending cut. And I think a big deal of it, a big part of it is they want to see exactly where it's been going. Again, I know I'm going on and on about this, but it's telling. It speaks volumes.

That the thing that's getting the Democrats all up in, getting their panties in a bunch, their trans panties in a bunch, is that, that they're actually exposing, what's going on in the federal government. They can come up with any excuse they want, any rhetorical masturbation they choose.

They can deploy it, and the typical, you know, fellow traveling suspects, well, they'll eat it up, that 15 to 30% on the extreme far left running around carrying swastikas and pictures of Chairman Mao who can't make it with anyone anyway. They're going to eat all of that up. The people who like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and AOC and Ariana Presley now. Presley or Presley, who cares? Kojak. Yeah, I don't care if she's got a disease. She looks ridiculous. Sounds even more ridiculous.

I want to see her and Pam Bondi have a debate. But this is the hill that they've apparently chose to die on. Save the bureaucrats. Bureaucratic lives matter. At least they don't have to change the signs, right? Bureaucrat lives matter. Well, BLM, hey, boo-boo. I'm sure that's going to go really well. I'm sure. In fact, I encourage this.

Keep defending the bureaucrats. Keep defending a bureaucrat sending $59 million to New York City this week after Trump put the freeze on federal spending, federal expenditures.

Bureaucrats inside I think of FEMA Took it upon themselves to defy the order Sent $59 million to New York To take care of illegal migrants While, Down in North Carolina All sorts of people Living in tents Living in these little RVs, Can't get any help A lot of them couldn't get any help because they had Trump signs in their yard? This is not a good look, Democrats. I encourage you to keep it the fuck up. Please, you're making my job, the counter-revolutionary's job, a whole hell of a lot easier.

And those of you who are sitting, again, I know, I know, I know, I'm not really talking. See, I'm using a straw man here. It's just it's this tick I have. OK, I know that I don't have any woke flakes listening to this show anymore. If they if they are, if you are. If you are. Seek mental help.

You have a self-abuse problem. Anyway, if this is the thing, if you're sitting at home trying to decide if this is going to be the thing that animates you again, that gets your revolutionary panties in a bunch, if this is the thing you're wondering about, really, bureaucratic rot, how are they twisting your head? What are they doing to... I know the answer to this. I got a few episodes back there. I'll kind of explain. Self-righteousness, moral certitude.

I'm on the right side of history. I'm righteous and they're evil. Therefore, everything our minister says is the word of social justice, the word of the social justice gods. That's how.

Bureaucratic rot That's the hill You're going to die on, You got to do something I understand that The revolution As I say right now Again, it's only February 12th, 2025 We're only three weeks Less than a month Into Trump's administration I understand that A lot can happen When the weather starts to warm up, I expect it to You should expect it to To, friends as I say right now it's pathetic they're completely discombobulated did you see, I'm almost embarrassed for them almost almost.

Embarrassed for any of you who are still following that. Did you see their little whatever the fuck that thing was a couple of weeks ago where they were selecting their new chairman? Here's some highlights. How many of you believe that racism and misogyny played a role in Vice President Harris's defeat? Brothers and sisters. That's good. You all passed. We had a 20-point shift to the right of our young people.

That when we have a gender non-binary candidate or officer, the non-binary individual is counted as neither male nor female, and the remaining six officers must be gender balanced. We must show our young people. And we'll start with Dr. Quintessa Hathaway. Good evening, everyone. It is my desire to be the next CMT chair. Because I don't just tweet. When your government is doing you wrong, you fight on, oh, you fight on. In order to be gender balanced, we must, we must select one male. Music.

One female, and one person of any gender.

All four of the most powerful positions of the party at the DNC are poised to belong to people of non-color so again this is what we have to do for this vice chair race may the endless boundless energy of the universe wrap around you with awe and love. Music. Of any gender. We conferred with our RBC co-chair, our LGBT caucus co-chair and others to ensure that the process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements in our rules.

There are a lot of good billionaires out there that have been with Democrats who share our values and we will take their money. So after everything that happened, after everything that happened throughout the electoral season last year, They had their moment of self-reflection Oh, what can we do? We have to explore, look deep within And figure out how we're losing the American people How did he beat us? How did he beat Our appointed DEI woman of color?

How did this happen again? Well, this is where they landed This is what they came up with Rules about gender representation And then, you know what happened? Did you see the end of that? Did you hear the end of that? If you just listened to the podcast Did you hear the end of it?

It's a white guy The guy was white A white middle-aged man Anyway, We're talking about how they're going to take Billionaires' dollars As long as it's the right billionaire I don't have a problem with billionaires They have a problem with apostate billionaires. Billionaires who don't spend as they see fit. They don't have a problem with being rich, with getting rich. Right, Bernie? Right, Nancy? Where's she been?

She convalescing because of that damn hip thing? Or is she just sort of, oh, yeah, I'm all this. The billionaire class. That's the new one. This is the new money bourgeois thing. If you know anything about the Russian Revolution, know anything about it, that was the big thing. That was the scapegoat, the moneyed bourgeois, the rich people. The rich people were the cause of all evil.

Even the good ones, even the good ones, even the ones who maybe saw the supposed error of their ways and tried to repent, tried to get on the good side, tried to do the right thing in the eyes of the revolution, and give up their money, give up their power, whatever it is, become part of the proletariat, they were persecuted just as hard as the ones who didn't. The moneyed bourgeois. You can't say moneyed bourgeois, can you, comrade Bernie?

You got to come up with something else. The billionaire class. What the fuck is the difference? Beyond Samantha, what is the fucking difference here? The revolution has slipped into neutral. It's sliding back down the hill. The foot apparently has pushed the clutch too far, and they're starting to roll back down the hill. I know that went over a lot of you younger folks' heads. You older people would get it. Appreciate it, probably.

And don't you think it's peculiar that, you know, Donald Trump is the president of the United States? Remember, this was Hitler. This was the big old fascist. And communists see fascists under every single rock, believe me. That's where 1930s history is a lot of fun. Communists and fascists hate each other. They're mortal enemies. Hitler attacked Soviet Russia after he was their ally. He always wanted them wiped out. And communists are the same way.

They feel the same way about fascists or anyone, any supposed fascists. They feel about fascists The way patriotic Americans Back in the 1950s and 60s Felt about communists Oil and water They cannot coexist And anywhere they see them They will try to root them out And eradicate them.

So anytime you're hearing All this fascist talk and the moneyed bourgeois talk sort of wrapped in the billionaire class burrito, you have found, to some degree, to one degree or another, whether or not they label themselves as such or not, it doesn't need to quack and waddle around to be called a duck, right? To some degree, the billionaire class, moneyed bourgeois, fascist, fascist, fascist, you found yourself a Marxist.

And they may not even realize it. This is something that I've been kind of dancing around, wanting to talk about for a long time. I don't think a lot of these people, especially the young, ignorant little college kids, I don't think they realize they're Marxists. I think they did such a good job on the long march through the institutions that started in the 1960s, more coming.

They just didn't say communist they just didn't say marxist they rarely only in the last 10 years they allow themselves to use the word socialist they just didn't say it they didn't label themselves as such so these young ignorant these successive generations of ignorant young people And they are Young people are ignorant I hate to tell you kids You're ignorant Hmm. Successive generations who think they've found something new like every generation does.

They think they've found something new under the sun every single time, don't they? We did, right? Well, every single time. That happens now. Communist, Marxist, socialist, it's not part of their lexicon. It's not how they have been defined. It's not how the indoctrineers have defined them for them. At least in the 1930s, they were proud to call themselves communists. They were proud to call themselves communist revolutionaries,

Marxist revolutionaries. They're going to fight the righteous revolution. Now, that phrase, oh, that gets people's, that gets them all erect, right? You ready for the revolutions, shouts AOC. They mean it. They don't have the historical context. I don't think of the communists marching through places like Cuba, South America, Central America. And God forbid they get a clear indication of actually what happened in Soviet Russia. How many people died under Lenin and Stalin or Mao in China?

I don't know. Oh, it's just everybody. It's equity. Oh, it's Shangri-La. Equity is Marxism. Literally. And so I was talking about in the last episode. If you missed it, go back and listen to it. It's pretty good. It talks about the boomerang. It talks about a lot of things, really. But it was recorded before COVID hit back in 2019. I think in May 2019. And we hadn't had the DEI enema as of yet.

And i was trying to figure out what all this stuff means i was seeing some of the dumbest shit like equality is inequality literally i mean it's orwellian right war is peace kind of shit. And that's what they were doing they were trying to redefine all of this stuff into these marxist terms equity replacing equality with equity it's clever as the things sound the same to stupid people who don't think about the words they use or hear equity and equality will sound the same. They're not.

They are nowhere near the same. Equity in outcomes is literally the foundational principle of Marxism. Equitable outcomes for everybody down here, the proletariat, the righteous proletariat, who will, they will rhetorically fellate at every opportunity. The proletariat, they get these low-grade, equitable outcomes. While the bureaucracy, the bureaucrats, and the higher-ups, the political elites, higher-up the communistic chain, the Marxist chain,

thrive. They get the stuff, they get the things that are left over after they give the proletariat their equitable crumbs. Equity. Equity is Marxism. And they did a good job. I have to give them credit. They understand maybe a little bit or understood more about the people in this country, especially these idiots over here, the young idiots on the left who don't understand, don't have any historical context whatsoever. They can't. It's not completely their fault.

They only learn what they've been taught And this goes back to the long march Through the institutions The long march The long Marxist march, To take over the institutions And it began with universities, 1970s And here we are When you send your kid to a college Thinking they're going to get an edge Well, that dog's been beaten to death by now. You know where I was headed with that. But they pulled it off to some degree. They managed to take quality, yank it, and replace it with equity.

And a lot of people a lot of people love the idea a lot of really dumb people love the idea a lot of borderline retarded white people love the idea, dei diversity equity and inclusion nobody that i know of very few people there might be a couple and people that i'm really friends with i don't really know of a lot of people who are opposed to diversity or inclusion letting people, Join. Having a diverse workforce, having a diverse variety of opinions.

I didn't quite make it in there, did it? Anyway, I don't know of a lot of people. It's the E, stupid, the equity part, the equitable outcomes that is so antithetical against every single American principle of equal opportunity. Opportunity. Equal opportunity. Not equitable outcomes. Equality in opportunity. That's what this country is about. That if you work hard, do what the fuck you're supposed to do. Do more than the next guy. Work harder than the next guy.

That you can achieve something. You can be successful, profitable. even prosperous.

But the very notion that everybody deserves the same regardless of merit, talent, effort, work ethic, whatever it is, just based on the color of their skin or what's in their pants or what they even would like to have in their pants now, the notion that all things have to come out equally Yeah Now you're seeing the backlash to it Now you're seeing, The overdue boomerang It's flying in and hitting people in the face And it's glorious to see. Music. A story about his plane.

Yikes. I think it was out in Phoenix. I think Scottsdale Airports. His private plane collided with another plane on private property there and killed his pilot. The pilot of Vince Neal's plane died. Three other people were injured. Vince Neal was not on the plane at the time. Last thing I knew, there was some sort of problem with the landing gear. I think that's what they said. It wasn't anything, you know, nefarious or matter of pilot error. I think it was equipment failure.

But yeah, it's a hard way for Vince to find his way back into the news this week. So I figured I'd play that. Plus, you know, don't go away, man. Just go away. I think it kind of fits. Kind of fits the entire feeling around the country right now. Don't you think? Don't you agree? I think so. I had a nice little exchange on the Facebook earlier this week. That was fun. Something on that here in a little bit too. They're not as open and free as perhaps they were a few weeks ago.

Anyway, I was having some kind of an exchange with one of the Manchurian Marxists I was talking about. She said, well, what's wrong with fairness and compassion and everything else? And I threw the old Karl Marx quote at her. From each according to his ability to each according to his needs. Which is basically what she's saying. Have compassion. Give the poor people, raise the poor people up to the level of equity shit. Right?

Completely antithetical to merit. And she didn't realize that that was Marxist at all. I'm sure she didn't. I didn't ask her. I didn't sit there and interview with her. I didn't try to dialogue and discourse with this woman. Of course not. I said something to the effect of, don't go away, man. Just go away. It was much more profane than that. That's what this is. They couch this stuff. From each according to his abilities, merit. To each according to his needs, equity. It's Marxist.

It's one of his most famous quotes. And they have managed to engage in rhetorical voodoo and disguise the foundations of this shit. Anyway, I mentioned Christopher Rufo earlier. He's got a great book came out last year. Right on the heels of me asking, where is it coming from? How is it being fed to us? It has to have a source, right? And right on the heels of me asking that question, Rufo released his book. Forget the name of it now.

I didn't have it in here. I was counting and looking at the title back there before I did this. Anyway, you'll be able to find it. Christopher Rufo, R-U-F-O. I'm surprised this guy is not in Trump's cabinet, to be honest with you. He's done more for the state of Florida, for education in the state of Florida. He's been at the forefront, the vanguard of the anti-woke movement for years. And he's a guy who actually gets shit done within the system.

Fantastic. And this book, I still have not finished reading it. I've had it at least a year, I think. And I still, it's one of those books. There's a handful of these books. Blank Slate's another one that I've kind of picked through here and there. But haven't finished. I'm afraid to dig into them because of what? I'm afraid they're going to send me off into some obsessive place and completely sidetrack what I'm doing.

But I have to dig into this book now. I absolutely have to, because the crux of it is he talks about a guy, I think his name's Marcuse, and he was a pretty high-end, influential leftist who figured out early. That the communists, the Marxists, were never going to succeed via a literal revolution. They weren't going to go into the streets and start setting off bombs and Molotov cocktails and overthrow the established order by force, that the antibodies, the American antibodies, are too strong.

They learned that in the 1960s. And I think the exclamation point probably came right around Kent State. Most people say that's when the 60s died was at Kent State University in the early 70s. They kind of retracted, retreated, went into a strategic retreat, sort of lick their wounds a little bit and came up with the notion, borrowed from Chairman Mao. About the long march, Mao's long march to the sea.

It was sort of a tactical retreat and it was tactical in the sense that it gave him a chance to regroup, re-evaluate, and strike. And it worked. He was able to seize control of China. That's what Rufo puts forth happened with our 1960s communists. They went into retreat for a little while and adjusted their strategy. Rather than attack from the front, a full frontal assault on the American way of life, they decided that they were going to enter the institutions.

They were going to infest the institutions, starting with the universities. And once they had people in the universities who could intellectually molest, brainwash, re-educate college-age kids, those kids then would move from college into the governmental institutions and other institutions, media institutions nationwide.

This was back in the 1970s. If you look back, if you're old enough like me, if you're Gen X, and you look back at your life, how attitudes have changed, been couched as progress. Over the last 40 years, you see it. Particularly, and I'll transfer off into another guy that I'm reading who was talking about what happened in the 1980s as far as the Esalen Institute and education.

Where everybody started getting their participation trophies really got entrenched in the 1990s, all based on bullshit research, by the way. But this is what's happened. This socialist, Marxist, communistic influence, the march through the institutions that began with Marcuse in the 1960s and 70s, has finally, finally established itself throughout the institutions, not in the people so much, but the institutions. Bureaucratic rot.

Bureaucratic corruption, bureaucratic rot, it had to be. It had to be rotten. It had to be because every single socialist, Marxist, communist government that's ever existed has nearly collapsed under the weight of its own bureaucracy, under the weight of its own corruption. The bureaucracy is a symptom of the disease.

It's not the disease itself. It's a symptom of the infection that has been coursing steadily, increasingly, coursing through the American system, the American body, the American government for decades. And they almost won. They almost got there. Now, if you listen to the media And you listen to these Batshit Democrats this week Who are screaming We're at war, we're at war You listen to these fuckers this week, You would think That Elon Musk has seized control Of the U.S.

Government He is the de facto president Donald Trump is a dictator How can that possibly be? How can Donald Trump be a dictator And Elon Musk seize It doesn't have to make sense It's just rhetoric, okay? But that's what you would believe. That's what they're trying to tell you, that Donald Trump is the evil fascist who seized control of the government. As I mentioned in the first segment, on the heels...

Of Doge, on the heels of someone opening up the cellar, opening up this festering pit of concealed rot and corruption that is symptomatic of every bloated left-wing bureaucracy that's ever existed.

As soon as they started shining sunlight into that septic tank, That's when they've decided To go batshit Because it's going to expose Exactly what they've been up to How they're using taxpayer money To further This march through Not only our institutions But also now to in fact The institutions of other countries, All of the rhetoric Coming from the Democrats this week Reeks of desperation. Dictator, dictator The billionaire class Evil Elon Are they gaining traction With any of this?

Have you noticed it? Have you seen any traction gained? Or are they just out there saying Fuck Trump See how much we mean it? I don't know I'll be very amazed I think they'll get some traction With this eventually Have to I mean you keep There's 30% Again The usual suspects The usual 30%, will go along with anything they say the manchurian marxists who don't know any better, but 70 of the country likes what they see so far.

But to them they're framing it as trump is a dictator paradoxically with elon musk has seized control of the government again i go back to it it doesn't even make any damn sense, doesn't have to make sense right just has to sound good just has to be chum to the sharks, Is Trump a dictator? Is he really? A lot of executive orders. I mean, I guess, maybe you could look at it that way if you really, really wanted to.

Or you could look at that he's taking a wrecking ball, a wrecking ball to these rotted institutions and knocking them to the ground. That he was elected as an exterminator to come in knock down these rotted buildings, and get rid of the rats who have been infesting these organizations in these institutions for years, in fact what he's doing is ending the long march through these institutions that started 40 years ago, and oh my God, do they hate that.

Now, there may be overreach here. Barry Weiss only looked at the headline. She was talking about one of the organizations, non-profits, I think, something about democracy, I forget. You can go find it. That was shut down by Doge. They can't pay any salaries, they can't do this, that, and the other thing, and she was bemoaning the fact. This is Barry Weiss. I respect what she says most of the time. That may be true. There may be overreach here and there. There may be a lot of overreach.

And I'll ask the question again. Do you think that Donald Trump is acting like a dictator? Do you think that he is the authoritarian they say he is? Do you think he's a fascist? Do you think that he is seizing power extra-constitutionally Or is he using these methods because each and every institution throughout government, including the judiciary, is infested? One district judge this week thought that he could stop and completely end the funding freeze. One judge.

One judge that was conveniently shopped for by the opposition, by the resistance, by the revolution. So are these tactics evil, or is this exactly the wrecking ball that's needed, to root this rot, this bureaucratic, ideological, Marxist, communistic, socialistic, uber-socialistic rot out of government? One of the overused words this week has been unelected for the last couple of weeks. Elon Musk wasn't elected.

Neither were these bureaucrats. Neither was the woman who took it upon herself to send $60 million to New York City, defying a presidential executive order in order to house some illegal migrants in luxury hotels. Was she elected? No, she wasn't. She was subsequently fired. I'd like to see her prosecuted. The groans of unelected authoritarianism. And something like 77 million people in this country voted for this.

It doesn't have any transparency to it, they say. He was incredibly transparent about this. He talked about Doge through the entire campaign. He said Elon Musk was going to do exactly what he did. It's what the American people voted for, literally. There's nothing hidden about this. He didn't spring it upon anybody. I don't understand. I don't understand the outrage. Maybe they were counting on it. Maybe they were waiting for it to start so they could use it as a rallying cry,

so they could raise their little flag and call the troops into the streets. I don't know. But to pretend you're surprised by this, to pretend you're surprised and outraged by it, really? Are you? Good luck with the bureaucrat lives matter stuff. Good luck with the street riots. If that's what you want, if we are really at war and you're going to fight it out in the streets, if you're inciting violence, remember when that was a bad thing to do? Not too long ago.

But if you're inciting violence and you really want to get into the streets this summer, Look where you are now Four years after the BLM riots Look where you are just a year Not even a year, After the pro-Hamas protests In New York City, After the anti-Semitic outbursts Calling for intifada, You own this, Democrats Look where you are now I encourage you If you want to go out And you want to fight it out In the streets And you want to have another summer of love, summer of hate, summer of rage.

Maybe that's it. The summer of rage. Knock yourselves out. You're not winning any, any hearts and minds with this shit, especially after people voted for it.

People want it. They want to see the rot. They want the floorboard lifted up. They want to see the mold beneath and how bad it's gotten. So they know exactly who Tatar and Feather. Music. I guess that so far USAID has been kind of the simple figure in the whipping boy for what Doge has been fighting. A couple of things that stood out to me. I was talking, and I've been ranting about Anthony Fauci. Mr. Pardon, Anthony Fauci. How I still wanted to see him investigated.

Well, turns out that USAID funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance. I don't know what that is. I really don't. But used taxpayer funds, $53 million worth to support gain-of-function research. At the Wuhan lab. The biggest thing for me, going all the way back to 2020, you know, is as soon as the media started to kind of suppress the lab leak theory, it's Occam's razor. It's common sense to think that the, you know, coronavirus probably,

you know, escaped somehow one way or another human error. However it happened, doesn't matter how it happened. It escaped probably from the lab in the city in which it started. Eureka! Why would they suppress that? Why would they suppress information saying that virtually, supposedly, China was responsible for it? I mean, that would serve a lot of purposes domestically, right? Globally, if China was responsible for that, why would they want to suppress that? Oh, it's racist.

No, not quite. There's something else here. First thing I thought of, what I heard gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute was, were we doing this? Is this something we might be responsible for? Accidentally, whatever. Was it our money? Our funding? That perhaps was engaging and making this possible. Were our scientists actually doing it? Maybe, perhaps.

But that makes more sense. That makes infinitely more sense why they would want that theory, why they would want that hunting dog, shooed off the trail. If USAID money was being laundered through the EcoHealth Alliance to fund gain-of-function research, at the Wuhan lab, something happened and it got out and killed how many people? Did what to society as a whole? Economically, everything. Well, there it is. Maybe. Who are you going to trust? Who are you going to ask?

Who are you going to believe? Who are you going to believe to tell you the truth on this now? There's nobody. You're going to believe Dr. Fauci now? After he, you know, all of his emails, if you haven't seen the emails, go find him where he's trying to suppress this entire lab. Well, here we go. $53 million laundered by USAID through the EcoHealth Alliance to support gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

I asked earlier, why are the rats, the rats, the bureaucratic rats, and their protectors in U.S. Government and Congress. Why are they so up in arms about finding corruption? Finding. Shedding light upon where our money has been going. Well, there's example number one. I think. I assume. I'm going with it. Sue me. The other one that I saw really gets my goat. I'm not even talking about the transgender plays. You know, promoting DEI in Bulgaria or whatever the fuck it was.

I'm not even talking about that stuff. That stuff's too easy. The other one was USAID was sending money to news organizations. Friendly news organizations. How many subscriptions? $8 million in Politico subscriptions. If you think Politico is an independent-leaning news organization that they traffic in objectivity, you should go read Politico sometime. What about the New York Times? What about the Washington Post? The Washington Compost now?

Have they been perhaps rewarded for favorable coverage? Helping the long march from the institutions Into society at large Have they? Inquiring minds want to know. I'm going to go with yes, because I don't expect Washington Post and the New York Times to admit it. Oh, Brian Stelter, this is another guy. We're calling him Tater now, by the way. Brian Stelter, the guy who was fired by CNN, their media expert. Wink, wink, wink. He was hired back. Now, he's all up in our, he's trying to advocate.

Advocate, I say, for all of these independent news organizations like Associated Press got kicked out of the press briefings this week. And Trump got pissed off because we're calling it the Gulf of America. Go fuck yourself. Well, here's Brian Stelter, independent, independent, independent. Associated Press was captured years ago. It used to be something good, I guess. But if you think that news organization News organization Is objective and independent and fair.

It's really gone downhill the last two, three years While he's out there singing their praises And I'm thinking to myself, self, that's what I call myself, self I said, self, I'm sure that the people at Associated Press or anywhere else really wants the coveted tater endorsement. Oh yeah, I'm sure. This guy's been discredited, disgraced. And he's out there, out there pretending like he's still an authoritative voice on the matter. Like he's still part of the establishment media.

The dying establishment, antiquated legacy media. He's like a guy with a bucket on the deck of the Titanic Scoop, scoop Do him some good He needs to lose a little weight Sorry, I just, I gotta say it But that's what he reminds me of, We're still relevant, goddammit You need us, you need us. Do we? For what? What do we need you for, Brian?

For the truth, really? Are you the truth ministry? The ministers of truth who tried to suppress the lab leak theory four, five years ago, almost five years ago, and here we are five years later. Fine, yeah, yeah, yeah, probably was. I'm sorry. Sorry about canceling you. Sorry about censoring you when you tried to even mention it. Oops, our bad. Are you the truth ministry, Brian Stelter? Are you? Are you? Are you sure?

The truth ministry that keeps telling us how men give birth or what we should call the gulf of mexico slash america, it's the gulf of mexerica as far as i'm concerned doesn't matter to me but are you really are you really presuming to be, the truth ministry still men give birth black lives matter I keep coming back to the same little image. Fiery, but mostly peaceful protests in Minneapolis following a police shooting.

Fiery, but mostly peaceful as the city burns behind him. That's the truth ministry, kids. That is the supposed presumptive truth ministry. And they wonder why they're dying. Dying. Why they want Donald Trump to take a sledgehammer, a wrecking ball, through the walls of these institutions to find out what lies behind it. You can cling on, cling on. I can't, I don't speak cling on, but you can cling on to the establishment mainstream legacy antiquated media as long as you like.

It's your right, it's your prerogative, but you had better try to understand when and why nobody else, virtually nobody else, is willing to trust the ministers of truth anymore. I'm not thrilled with the fact that in many ways, we are the media now. Community notes policing disinformation, policing ourselves as far as disinformation goes. but it's failed. They have failed at their job miserably. Remember when Joe Biden was as sharp as a tack?

Sharp as he's ever fucking been. Really? Was he? Wouldn't appear so. Remember when the truth ministry was defending him, propping him up, when they thought he was going to be the opposition candidate to Donald Trump? He's as good as he's ever been. Remember? And you want to trust them again? You expect anyone to trust them again? Do you? Huh. How many of these conspiracy theories have we heard about? Like Hunter Biden's laptop. There's a good one.

How many of those conspiracy theories were shown to be true? Remember all those intelligence agencies that signed this letter denouncing Donald Trump, saying that Hunter's laptop or the Biden shit all had indications that it was Russian propaganda? And now you want to trust them? You want to trust the people who propagated that, shoved that up the national rectum, informational butthole, and expected everybody to just eat it? a lot of people did. I did.

You expect me to go back and trust those fuckers now? Do you want to go back and trust those fuckers now? How many people do? How many people want to go back and trust those people again? How dumb do you have to be? Fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me 312 times. I guess it's my fault now. A lot of you are going to ask, a couple of people in particular, what does that mean, Todd? Where are we supposed to get the truth? Good fucking luck. Good fucking luck.

Where are we supposed to get the cohesive narrative? Where are we supposed to get our stories? You're going to start getting it from your tribe. You're going to have to pick a tribe. You're going to have to choose a tribe at some point. Or you're going to have to step outside. I talked about all of this, I guess, last week, whatever it was. Leave the shit behind. Don't be the current events man, the public affairs expert who watches everything and has to commentate on everything. That's my job.

But if you're really worried about getting the truth, if you think you're going to get the truth, maybe not.

There's no solution to this, People are storytellers People are deceivers People are manipulators Propaganda, Has been with us from the beginning Since the beginning of time In different forms It's really been unleashed in the last couple of hundred years Because of technology But it's always been with us It's who we are We are tribal, So go to your tribe, Throw on your boots And join the fight Choose a team.

It's inevitable anyway, There were people in the Russian Revolution The White Army The Red Army There were people Back then who decided they didn't want to take part. They didn't want to participate. They didn't want to choose sides. They did not want to be part of the red or the white army. They didn't fare well when they encountered either or because the army didn't trust them. People in those armies, people in those camps didn't trust those who weren't.

It's with us or against us kind of thing. You have a choice. You do. If you're concerned about the truth, if you really think that the truth is going to be decipherable in five years, when AI really kicks into gear, deepfakes, all that shit. If you think the truth is going to matter in five years more than it does now. It's what I like to call a message of hope. See, I can't believe Hallmark hasn't called. I sent my resume to Hallmark, I think in 2015. They still haven't contacted me.

Nothing like stroking your own girthy cock. Hi, I'm Darvis Langfield from Langfield Premium Cocks. We've got the premiest, girthiest, champion cocks in town. Whether you're looking to stroke, pet, take, or eat a cock, we've got you covered. Looking for a premium girthy cock to take home? Look no further. I've got the cock that you need. So come on down to Langfield and take my cock.

As much as I would like to think that I'm smart enough and I'm going to be able to figure all this out, that I'm going to be able to decipher the truth. I'm going to be able to tell truth from falsehood any better than any of you in the next several years. As much as I desperately want to believe that, I don't. The only thing that we can control, the only thing that we can be sure of... Is what's directly in front of our nose, within the locus of control.

The locus of observation, maybe. Maybe that's the better way to put it. What you can see and interpret and sense, with your own eyes, your own ears, all of it. What's in front of you? What's in your immediate organic experience? Everything beyond that is in the hands of someone else. It's like a game of telephone. You can't see what's happening in Gaza. You can't see what's happening in New York City, in Washington, D.C. You can't see what's happening with Doge.

You can't see the march through the institutions. You have to take somebody's word for it, whether or not it's true, which narrative you decide to embrace. You're going to have to choose a team eventually because objectivity is dead, where are you going to go who do you think is objective now is there in this country in this in any country who's objective now who's telling you the truth fuck you brian stelter i don't want to hear from you who is it,

Do you speak propagandees? Are you going to be able to cut through every piece of propaganda? Are you going to be able to detect every single deep fake in five years? Informational anarchy is a real thing. We're pretty much there. You have to choose. You're going to have to choose. If you want to stay involved, even if you want to seem involved, you're going to have to choose a side.

You're going to be devoured by the factions. You're going to be that lone chimp that I talked about a couple of years ago, a year and a half back. You're going to be able to survive that. You can do it. What effect are you going to have as that lone chimp who thinks he's found the truth nobody else can see. What are you going to do with it? You can pat yourself on the back, I guess. Maybe write a blog. Who's going to read it?

How are you going to affect anything? If everybody else is entrenched in their camps, if they've all adhered to their doctrine, their scripture, and their stories, their narratives, what are you going to do with your stuff? You gonna win hearts and minds? You want me to dig out the Gustave Le Bon book back there? Start talking about the mob mentality again? How mobs are stupid. Not only are they stupid, they're fucking dangerous. Look at the streets. Look at

the streets back in 2020. That's what happens when the individual sells. They enter these groups, they enter these mobs. the individual cells lose autonomy. They become part of a much bigger, much stronger, and much dumber. Larger organism. Good luck. Hey, have fun. I wish you luck. Maybe if you're, you know, maybe Arya Stark. Maybe you're the Arya Stark of mob rule. You're going to come in with your little stone knife. Maybe. Hey, I wish you luck. Film it. Send it to me. I want to see it. I do.

And so for me, personally, I've chosen. Clearly. Clearly. Obviously, I've chosen. If I have to choose, between this Maoist bullshit over here and a pseudo, even worst case scenario, pseudo-fascist over here, I'm choosing the fascist. I am. I am, I am, I am. Being a middle-aged straight white male, you're goddamn right I am. Being someone who's proud of this country, proud of where this country started

and how it got here, not ashamed of its history, yeah, you're goddamn right. I will choose anything. Anything. I would join Rastafarians if they were fighting that shit over there. This anti-American. Horseshit. This global brotherhood of utopian man. Bullshit. This failed collectivist bullshit. it. I will join anything that fights that. The enemy of that is my friend. This isn't where I wanted to end up. This isn't where I thought I would end up.

I don't know, seven, eight years ago. I didn't think I'd be here. I thought that I was going to be off, you know, playing the part of the lone wolf i'm not joining any side i tried i did. That's not how people are wired. We are tribal. I know I have this book back here. If you're watching the video, it's a book called Our Inner Ape by Franz DeWaal. D-E-W-A-A-L. He just died not too long ago. This is a classic book. I read this probably two years ago.

As you can see, if you're watching the video, I liked it. It's about basically how people and chimpanzees and mostly bonobos we're more like bonobos than we are chimpanzees and if you believe in evolution now we we share a lot of the same traits and top to bottom beginning to end the one thing that primates do is join they are part of a group And when they're not part of a group, psychologically and emotionally, they break down.

Especially in the case of chimpanzees, when you're not part of a group, you're consumed by one or the other. It's what we do. We join and we fight.

Are you Specifically Personally, Are you above all that Are you above That primitive That stupid human nature Are you super evolved are you, Are you sure If you were to look into your own life If you were to look into your own world And you were to examine How you feel How you think Your emotional and psychological state If you are not part of something of you are completely isolated away, off on your own, in some sort of self-imposed solitary confinement,

which, by the way, is a crime against humanity in many places. We're in solitary ideological and intellectual confinement. Are you happy? Are you thriving? Are you? Are you? You accomplishing anything? you're just screaming into the wind farting into the wind. Farting into the wind and accomplishing and affecting, making zero impact on anything. You may as well play video games. Really. If that's what you want to do, if you're just going to isolate yourself off

on a desert island, go play video games. There's no harm in that. Take up drugs, drink, something. Anything is more productive than that. You're going to start the Bill Hicks People Who Hate People party, the People Who Hate Groups party? How does that work? Is the force of your personality and the power of your rhetoric going to change millions and millions and billions of minds? Are you going to enlighten so many people with your brilliance? With your truth? Probably not.

So choose That's my advice I implore you to choose Personally I have chosen To join the counter-revolution, This puts me in an adjacent camp To Donald Trump I've appreciated Elon Musk for years He's a guy who gets shit done I paid for an annual X membership To support him and SpaceX Primarily But I also appreciate the fact that he bought X and re-gifted it back to the people so they could say what they wanted. I appreciate that. I do.

Without that purchase, without him liberating Twitter from itself, Donald Trump probably doesn't win that election last year. And that's what really pisses you off, isn't it? That's what really pisses these people off about Elon Musk. He seized their disinformation, their control of the digital narrative. They had complete control of it. They had their truth ministry in place, at least online. And here comes Elon to blow it all the fuck up.

Bravo. So I paid for my annual subscription as a thank you. And as an attaboy, as a go-get-em as far as Mars goes. Really, without that? If you haven't checked out X, if you find it repulsive and repugnant, oh, whatever. Welcome to democracy. Welcome to free speech, bitch. You don't like it, do you? Free speech for me, but not for thee.

Anyway, I have decided to join the counter-revolution Every revolution, I forget who said it For every revolution, there is a counter-revolution And they were not counting on this They were not counting on it, They don't know what to do with this.

It's not a dictatorship, it's not yet It's a counter-revolution He is leading the counter-revolution against whatever this has been, this woke flake ideology, the woke mind virus, the long march through the institutions that take place for the last 40, 50 years. He is leading spearheading at the vanguard of the counter-revolution. And that's why they hate him for it. He's destroying 50 years of quote-unquote progress through these institutions.

He's taking Elon Musk Into this The cesspool This swamp, He's showing Just how bad it's been. I fully and wholeheartedly, full-throatedly support the counter-revolution. I may not like what comes next. I'll worry about that when I get there. But right now, I've said this I've said before. Right now, I am full-throatedly, wholeheartedly, enthusiastically, passionately supporting the counter-revolution. I don't think I have to tell you anything else.

All right, anything else here? Yes. One other thing. I touched on this at the end of the last podcast. I'm going to reiterate this. There's one troubling aspect to what's happening in D.C. Right now, whether you agree with it or don't disagree with what's happening, how Trump is going about things. The precedence. Republicans had better win in 2028 because the can of worms that's being opened right now in D.C. Can easily, easily be turned around. Those guns can be pointed right back at you.

And if he goes through the Supreme Court And has executive power expanded No matter how righteous you, I, or anybody else thinks it is If he goes through And Democrats suddenly take power in 2028, What you gonna do?

Be careful here The precedents he's setting Yeah, we like him I like him, I love him Just about every single one of them I have no problem with him, But we've seen this happen before We talked about it before People are stupid to think that the weapons they use, These entrenched batteries of weapons That are used by the federal government When they're in power You don't lift them up and take them with you when you

leave They stay entrenched The batteries stay mounted They can be used against you later, Keep that in mind, if you go this route and you're going to use scorched earth you had better win and you had better win decisively, because you leave any remnant of that standing breathing kicking and it reconstitutes itself, look out boomerangs do not fly in just one direction. Music.

This was an afternoon recording session i like it i do i do i do i do if you're watching the video you can look over uh look over here yeah see. Music. Video people. It's a Detroit Stars hat for you audio folks. Got a big red star on it. Kind of looks like the communist star. I wore it just to poke. I want to steal their imagery. Music. That should be the emblem of the counter-revolution just to troll these fucking communists, Marxists, socialists.

They're a long march. Tonsill Access Substack. There's more episodes over there. You can check me out at YouTube. ToddzillaX over there as well. Name change coming soon enough. More episodes coming. Till then, so long. See you next time. On the back row. See you next time.

See you. See you next time.
