Trump and Hegseth Honor a Terrorist
Dan and Corey bumble into a late Libservative episode after watching the Michigan Senate debate between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, arguing both push protectionism and lazy “throw more money at it” fixes for schools and entitlement programs. They cover Katie Zakaria’s ultra-brief stint as Trump press secretary and joke about Laura Loomer replacing her. They rip Trump and Pete Hegseth for pushing a firing-squad execution for Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, saying it grants an “honorable” soldi

The "Smollettification" of Politics. Truth Doesn't Matter.
Dan and Corey argue that politics has become “Smolletified,” where viral narratives matter more than facts, using a quickly-debunked rumor that Texas Senate candidate James Talarico checked out of an Ohio mental health facility as their main example and noting nobody retracts misinformation. They react to a video of a woman at a Trump rally getting swarmed for wearing a “Release the Epstein files” shirt, calling it cult behavior, and then roast Ken Paxton promoting a “Right Insight” app that let

Michigan Senate Debate Reaction Show
Dan and Corey react to the Michigan Senate debate between Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and former Congressman/FBI agent Mike Rogers, calling it an historically lopsided beatdown backed by a WOOD TV poll (about 82–18) and noting El-Sayed leads in multiple polls and betting markets. They say Rogers looked unprepared, sweaty, and evasive, repeatedly leaning on “Muslim Brotherhood” attacks and struggling against record-based critiques (surveillance/privacy, border votes, drug pricing, donor influence). They a

Right Wing Grievance Culture IS Left Wing Woke Culture
an and Corey riff on how right-wing grievance culture mirrors woke outrage, using the viral claim that the IRGC “endorsed Democrats” as an example of influencers repeating identical talking points despite the letter mainly blaming U.S. leaders, urging Americans to change policy toward Israel, and arguing “Death to America” targets the White House “elite,” not citizens. They mock Trump’s UN saber-rattling about “annihilating” Iran and his ICC tirade, argue midterms won’t change Middle East policy

The Midterms Are Fake and Gay
Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh banter about cocktails, quitting vaping, and a short show before diving into a Boston Globe story about Last Stitch Bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts: a COVID-cautious lesbian bar that made Saturday nights mask-optional to stay afloat, triggering a furious backlash accusing the owners of ableism, eugenics, racism, and even improper accessibility practices (like missing alt text). They read and mock the escalating Zoom “community meeting” drama, financial crisis, and ac

Trump Punches You In The Face...And Then Asks For Your Vote
Dan and Corey riff through sports trash talk and political chaos: they joke that Mitch McConnell is “basically dead,” then argue Republicans are headed for a blue-wave bloodbath as generic-ballot polling swings to Democrats (+7 to +8, with several state race leads cited). They mock Grok for nonstop “remove the red” bikini prompts, roast Haley Stevens after she loses a primary and gets confronted about Gaza (she denies genocide and calls anti-Zionism a hate movement), and claim both parties serve
