The Toddzilla X-Pod

Todd grudgingly returns to life after shortwave with a sore jaw, a jacked neck medicated with Leinenkugel's, and a prostate full of unimpaired sarcasm. Fresh from oral surgery and his final WWCR broadcast, he jumps straight back into New York’s new Marxist soap opera: Zorak's rise, the DSA’s full-blown takeover of the Democrats, and the party’s desperate rebrand from identity equity to affordability.

It’s a kind of hangover episode with bite: part recovery diary, part political exorcism. Between complaints about aging, painkillers, and Marxist cosplay, Todd wonders out loud. again, whether the “Red-Green Alliance” is just Jonestown with Wi-Fi. It’s cranky, funny, and 100% X-Pod; the start of a new chapter, minus the religious radio filter!

The Thompson Show – October 24, 2025 (WWCR 4840 kHz)

Todd closes the curtain on The Thompson Show’s shortwave era with a defiant, reflective, and emotionally charged finale. After months on WWCR’s legendary 4840 kHz frequency, he signs off with a sweeping critique of modern politics, a warning about human nature, and a reminder of what made the show—and shortwave itself—worth keeping alive.

• Farewell to Shortwave

• The Ceasefire and the Activist Economy

“The revolution must never end—or the revolutionaries lose their gig.”

He frames the left’s perpetual outrage as both strategy and addiction: agitation as a business model.

• Government Shutdown Theater

• No Kings 2.0 and the Retail Revolution

“It’s not rebellion—it’s retail revolution. The Che Guevara T-shirt at the strip mall.”

Todd argues that modern protest movements have become brand extensions of the political class rather than genuine resistance.• A Challenge to Conservatives

“Where are you? Why aren’t you pushing back?”

He calls on conservatives to reclaim civic space—not through violence or Washington pageantry, but through peaceful, visible counter-demonstrations in small-town America. “Patriotism is not fascism,” he says. “You want to be heard? Stand up and show the world what you actually believe.”

• The Boomerang Across the Atlantic

• The Human Tyrant Within

“We are not wired for democracy. We are wired for tribe.”

• The Final Monologue

“Whatever’s coming—tyranny, bloodshed, or both—it won’t matter which side the tyrant’s on. The ape is out of the cage.”

The Thompson Show – October 17, 2025 (WWCR 4840 kHz)

Back home in southwest Michigan after a week on the road, Todd returns to the airwaves sounding a little under the weather but fully in fighting form for a wide-ranging episode that blends nostalgia, tribute, and a passionate defense of exploration, courage, and country.

🔹 Segment Highlights

• Opening – On the Road and Under the Weather

• Remembering Ace Frehley (1951–2025)

• Farewell to Jim Lovell (1928–2025)

• Exploration, Courage, and the Human Spirit

“We looked at the moon and said, ‘Let’s go there.’ That’s what people do. That’s what we’ve always done.”

He argues that space exploration represents not waste, but wonder; a way to restore faith in human potential and national pride in an age of cynicism.

• A Defense of the Founders and the Frontier

• America the Promised Land

“Even if you’re the sons and daughters of Nazis, you can come here and nobody will try to kill you. This is the promised land.”

Todd ends the show reaffirming his love of country and teasing next week’s topic, the No Kings 2.0 protests spreading across the U.S., and how conservatives can counter the ideological street theater now gripping the left.

The Thompson Show – October 10, 2025 (WWCR 4840 kHz)

Broadcasting from a cabin in the Smoky Mountains, Todd takes The Thompson Show on the road for a fiery, wide-ranging episode that ties world events to the tightening noose of digital control.

• The Future of Shortwave

• The Hijacking of “Solidarity”

• Greta Thunberg’s Flotilla Folly

• Digital ID: The Gateway to Digital Tyranny

France’s Avia Law and EU Digital Services Act, which weaponize “hate speech” regulation into speech policing.

China’s Social Credit System, where compliance determines access to jobs, banking, and travel.

India’s Aadhaar program, now expanded from welfare to every aspect of daily life.

He warns that such systems create “soft tyranny” through algorithmic compliance, a future where a wrong opinion, an unpaid fine, or an inconvenient post could silently lock you out of work, money, and communication.

• Palantir Backs Out

• Closing Thoughts from the Mountains

Can a democracy defend itself without destroying the freedoms that define it? Todd explores the collapse of free speech into spectacle, the lure of censorship and strongmen, and what happens when citizens start begging for order over liberty.

-

This week on The Thompson Show (WWCR), Todd rips into the hypocrisy of cancel culture, collapsing media institutions, and the dangerous slide from free speech to approved (licensed) speech. From Kimmel’s suspension to the killings of Charlie Kirk and the Ukrainian woman in Charlotte, this episode asks whether free speech has now become the insurgent-weapon-of-choice aimed at liberal democracy itself? If so, can a free society defend itself without dismantling the freedoms that define it?

Drawing on Walter Lippmann’s century-old warning about propaganda, "special pleading" and the “hullabaloo of sophistry,” Todd dissects how algorithmic media, tribal militias, and weaponized outrage are pushing citizens to beg for censors or Caesars. At stake is more than free speech. Can open societies can survive the assault of illiberal forces without becoming illiberal themselves? (hint: it's still the people)

From there he unpacks why debate keeps collapsing. Using campus showdowns as examples and borrowing from Jonathan Haidt’s “elephant and rider” model, Todd argues that many disputes start with a snap emotive conclusion and then invent reasons to justify it. When the rationalizations run out, the insults start. That feeds a broader doctrine, “words are violence”, which quietly normalizes physical confrontation by redefining speech as a violent assault.

Finally, Todd examines why the cancel-culture boomerang snapped back this week, warns against turning subjective “hate speech” into a government weapon that will eventually change hands, and returns to a recurring theme: social media as the staging ground of a civil war. Finally, a familiar concept gets a new name: The Matrix Mind. Bodies live in the real world; minds live in the feed. When we reduce people to avatars, it becomes easier to treat speech as violence — and to answer it with the real thing.

Narratives > facts. Todd Thompson dissects the reaction to Charlie Kirk’s killing, the UK's massive Unite the Kingdom march, and a new frontier: identity-based “self-defense” militia groups moving from slogans to weapons. When speech is spun as violence, dialogue, then people, die.

--

Broadcast on WBCQ 7490 kHz (Sept 15, 2025, 10 p.m. ET), Todd Thompson takes on a week where storylines outran facts. He starts with the media spin surrounding the UK’s Unite the Kingdom marches and the online chaos after Charlie Kirk’s killing—noting how even basic details now fracture along partisan lines.

From there, the episode tackles the asinine “words are violence” doctrine and why it normalizes deadly confrontation. Todd examines public materials and reporting around Armed Queers of Salt Lake City—a self-described socialist, anti-capitalist collective that promotes “queer resistance.” Posters featuring rifles, militant rhetoric, and campus events have circulated widely; as of broadcast, there was no confirmed official link to the Utah shooter, and Todd makes the larger point: once identity politics moves from slogans to weapons, taboos disintegrate and copycats follow.

Closer to home, he touches on a ridiculous incident in Kalamazoo where an Office Depot "manager" refused to print a Charlie Kirk vigil poster and was promptly fired; an emblem of the cancel-culture boomerang finally, and predictably, striking in the opposite direction. The through-line is trust: collapsing institutions, informational anarchy with incompatible “truths,” and a culture that can't even agree on what happened five minutes ago.

Blunt and unfiltered, the broadcast argues that dialogue only works if both sides still want a country to share. When moral certitude replaces inquiry, and institutions reward loyalty over facts, tribes do what tribes have always done.

On Charlie Kirk’s assassination, media bias, and the unraveling of American unity. Candid, challenging, and unfiltered..

Broadcast September 12, 2025, on WWCR 4840 kHz, this episode confronts one of the most volatile weeks in recent memory. Thompson examines the murder of Charlie Kirk, the killing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, and the selective coverage (and outrage) that followed. Together, these stories reveal how far the boundaries of political discourse have collapsed and how normalized violence has become in a fractured culture.

Todd explores the deeper pattern: how identity politics has replaced shared citizenship, how media narratives are weaponized to excuse or inflame, and how the political class falls back on stale platitudes about “lowering the rhetoric” while the fire continues to spread. The episode also briefly connects to foreign influence strategies, where outside actors and digital platforms amplify division rather than heal it.

Todd closes with reflections on the anniversary of September 11th. He contrasts the fleeting unity of 2001, when flags flew in every neighborhood and the idea of America still bound people together, with the rabid tribalism of today. The question is no longer how to recover unity, but whether unity is even possible in a culture where grievance trumps allegiance.

The conclusion is blunt and unsparing: America’s “Humpty Dumpty” has fallen, and no amount of political spin can put it back together again. What remains is the fight over how people will live inside the fracture and whether patriotism can still serve as a bond strong enough to resist collapse.

Broadcast September 8, 2025, on WBCQ shortwave (7490 kHz), this episode challenges the idea that human beings are “blank slates.” Todd Thompson argues that much of what is labeled racism is better understood as cultural and tribal reflex — instincts wired by evolution, not just products of environment.

Drawing on research by primatologist Frans de Waal, Todd shows how empathy, loyalty, and group boundaries appear in chimpanzees and humans alike. These instincts shape culture and survival, and when they’re ignored or denied, societies fracture. From Rwanda and Yugoslavia to American Indians to today’s unrest in Europe and the United States, history demonstrates the cost of refusing to acknowledge human nature.

The broadcast also explores Cold War lessons. Former KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov described a four-stage strategy of subversion: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization. While he was speaking in the 1980s, the pattern is recognizable today. Modern influence campaigns no longer need spies in every institution — social media amplifies divisions at the speed of light. Every divisive slogan, every cultural flashpoint becomes a lever.

The final segment turns to today’s grassroots pushback. In Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, Sweden, and even Australia, ordinary citizens are reclaiming their flags and cultural identity. These aren’t marches for empire, but local communities refusing to surrender their way of life. Todd argues that what’s dismissed as extremism is more often people defending memory, tradition, and cohesion.

The conclusion is clear: tribes that fail to rise above internal fracture are replaced by those that can. In practice, the broadest “tribe” available is the nation itself. Patriotism — allegiance to country above grievance — remains the only force strong enough to resist both ideological pressure and foreign manipulation. And as Todd reminds listeners, we are not heirs to apology but to resilience; descendants of people who endured unimaginable hardships fighting to build our nation out of nothing.
