IF YOU'RE READING THIS, THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU 
 
My name is Phillip Jason Dade, and I'm a sinner, but also forgiven.
 
I am an evangelical Christian, the owner of a secondhand boat store, and yes, that was me in the news report about bathroom encounters.
 
I started talking to the boys at Chapo Trap House after I heard them mock and deride men like me, followers of Christ who have fallen but gotten back up. I did not reach out to them out of spite.
 
I wanted them to understand.
 
You see, I sell rudders and motorboards during the day, but I have passions outside of work. Obviously, God is number one. But passion number two is my awesome wife Klyeelissa and my kick butt little guy Mason Jesse James Treibart (the best 4 year old in the world ;) ),  Passion the third is, you guessed it, Evangelical EDM.
 
So I decided to send the boys in "The Trap" my newest song, "You Give Me Energy." I could try explaining my life, my journey, my triumphs, and my pain to get these guys to understand who they're mocking when they mock evangelicals, but they wouldn't understand it. 

the universal language of music is how neighbors can see eye to eye, though. It's been like that since the Book of Genesis, and it's like that now. so without further ado, I hope you can begin to start to think about considering who I really am, and who you could be.
 
Blessing throughout you, your family, and the world.

U Give Me 3nergy

On Episode 5, we explore the history of the media erasing socialists of color from the history books and present day discourse––a tactic that serves to both commodity and water-down black radicalism and pawn off leftwing politics as a uniquely white or middle class enterprise.

Our guests: Robert Greene II and Roqayah Chamseddine.

Episode 07: BDS & the Moral Narratives of Colonization

With the rise of Trump, Sanders, Corbyn and Brexit, hundreds of pundits, reporters, and talking heads have been warning about the problems of "populism" and its alleged attack on democracy over the past three years.

“Populism and immigration pose major threat to global democracy,” the Gates Foundation insists. “The Dangerous Rise of Populism - Global Attacks on Human Rights Values,“ wrote Human Rights Watch in 2017. “Trump's Rise Proves How Dangerous Populism Is for Democracy” NBC says. “Populism is still a threat to Europe,” The European University Institute tells us.

But what exactly is populism? How is a term that allegedly applies to Hugo Chávez and Bernie Sanders also casually used to describe fascists and far-right forces?

Under the thin, ideology-flattening definition of populism, the term is more often than not used as a euphemism for demagogic cults of personality and fascism and as the ultimate horseshoe theory reduction to lump together movements for equity and justice on the Left with those of revanchism, nationalism and explicit racism on the Right.

We are joined on this episode by writer and historian Thomas Frank.

Daniel Marans joins us to decipher the election results and talk about what this means for the US political scene going forward. We dish up some harsh realities and pull no punches along the way -- consider this the first of many in-depth looks at the political realignment that's underway in the United States, which is one that the left will either benefit from or be crushed by.

A Cold Splash of Water to the Face w/ Daniel Marans

In this public News Brief we discuss how American media's general indifference to the Covid pandemic ravaging prisons and jails makes "riots" inevitable. Our guest, Patrice Daniels, is an activist currently incarcerated in Illinois state prison in Joliet, IL.

Andy and Matt from Woodbine, a group/hub/place in the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens NYC join us to talk about their ongoing project of providing mutual aid to the neighborhood. We also discuss criticisms of mutual aid, big brained theory stuff, whether what we're talking about even IS mutual aid, and more. But first, I resurrect a segment from the Craig Kilborn Daily Show.
