Fauci, Stevens, Trump... The Clowns Are Getting Out of The Car

Hosts Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh discuss Anthony Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment repeatedly in a congressional hearing and react to Josh Hawley’s questioning, arguing Fauci’s private diary notes (released by Rand Paul) conflicted with his public COVID messaging on origins, gain-of-function, and the wet market, while also describing Fauci’s celebrity-seeking. They compare Fauci’s Fifth Amendment strategy to Donald Trump’s and frame hearings as political theater. The conversation shifts to the Iran war becoming dangerous, citing CSIS estimates of sharply depleted U.S. stocks of Patriots, THAAD interceptors, and Tomahawks amid support for Ukraine and Israel, and warning about a potential Taiwan contingency. They cover Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, criticizing Haley Stevens’ media appearances and donations, contrasting her with Abdul El-Sayed’s debate performance, and noting pro-Israel funding around candidates. They close with a clip of journalist Sam Husseini confronting Chu…

Congress: Unserious Orwellian-ism

Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh argue Trump’s recent address was mostly political theater: fearmongering about China and election “theft” without evidence of vote fraud or any prosecutions, while noting real but non-voting issues like dead names on Michigan rolls. They discuss the House passing the NDAA’s Section 219, saying it legally deepens broad U.S.–Israel tech and R&D cooperation, and criticize Ben Shapiro’s framing while cautioning against overstating “military merging.” They review a House-passed congressional stock-trading ban as easily loophole-able and say Republicans added voter ID to bait Democrats into voting no for future ads. They also mock media war narratives about Iran, raise doubts from the Tyler Robinson/Charlie Kirk preliminary hearing, and briefly cover Michigan primary candidates and a New York candidate’s viral Ben & Jerry’s comment.

Trump Address Simulcast DRINKING GAME! & Don't Speak ill of the ☠️ Unless It's Lindsey Graham

Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh host an episode of “Libservative” that begins with crude jokes and discussion of Senator Lindsey Graham’s reported death, condemning him as a warmonger and reacting to immediate conspiracy theories about the cause; they also note Glenn Greenwald’s joke about Graham’s sister filling his seat and play a comedic “what should we do with Lindsey Graham’s ashes?” game. They then run a drinking game during Donald Trump’s address, with rules tied to phrases about election integrity, fraud, voter ID, mail-in voting, and illegal aliens. Trump claims declassification of intelligence alleging major vulnerabilities, including Chinese acquisition of voter files, deep-state suppression, voting-machine insecurity, alleged fraud in Michigan, and non-citizens on voter rolls, while calling for Congress to pass the “Save America Act.” Afterward, the hosts compare the claims to Russiagate, criticize centralizing elections, and mock a Pete Hegseth announcement about testosterone…

McConnell or Platner? Who's Closer to Death?

Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh open with show banter, a July 4th story, and jokes about America’s “250th” and its political maturity, then pivot to news that fighting with Iran is “back on,” describing a disputed MOU over safe passage and Iran’s threat to restrict shipping if Israel continues bombing Lebanon, calling attacks on commercial vessels a PR mistake. They discuss rumors Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized since mid-June after an alleged heart attack and argue this underscores the need for age limits in Congress and frustration with procedural politics and boomer leadership. Breaking news follows that Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner ended his bid amid sexual assault allegations; they question “recovered memories,” media corroboration, and timing, arguing Democrats used the scandal to force a withdrawal and replace him under Maine rules. They close with a Mark Levin rant clip and brief Michigan primary talk.

Socialism Is Coming?! Massie Goes Scorched Earth!

Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh react to Democratic socialist primary wins, saying they reflect anti-status-quo energy more than an imminent national shift, and mock right-wing panic while arguing Republicans also embrace “socialism for corporations,” citing Trump-era government stakes in major firms. They criticize neoliberal Democrats like Mallory McMorrow for smearing Abdul El-Sayed via Hasan Piker and antisemitism framing, then play clips of John Fetterman and Ted Cruz equating anti-Israel views with anti-Americanism/anti-capitalism, warning that overusing “antisemitism” labels makes real cases easier to dismiss. They slam Trump for refusing to sign a housing affordability bill to force passage of the SAVE Act/voter ID, citing surging public concern about affordability, and urge support for Thomas Massie’s amendments to cut Israel aid and defense cooperation. They briefly discuss a Texas ICE facility attack case and end with show banter and Mark Levin impressions.

Trump Heel Turns On Iran?!?!

Hosts Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh open with comedic banter and recurring Mark Levin sound drops, then discuss reports of an imminent U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding they say could end fighting across fronts including Lebanon. They note Trump’s apparent shift on Iran, JD Vance criticizing Israeli cabinet members for attacking Trump while citing U.S.-funded defensive support, and Israeli media backlash. They read the MOU terms (ceasefire, noninterference, Hormuz passage and demining, phased negotiations, sanctions relief, oil waivers, unfreezing Iranian assets, reconstruction plan, IAEA supervision and nuclear limits, UNSC endorsement) and compare it to the JCPOA, including Hegseth framing it as “born of strength.” They debate credibility, midterm incentives, economic fallout, de-dollarization concerns, and neocon reactions (including a Laura Loomer tweet), then pivot to lighter topics like George Santos betting allegations, the White House reflecting pool algae, “UFC Freedom 250,…

Karmelo Anthony and Israel Are The Same

Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh riff through a chaotic Libservative episode packed with crude jokes and political rage: they mock Trump repeatedly declaring the Iran war “over,” tease upcoming clips like a Dan Bongino crash-out, and roast Doug Burgum for calling wind turbines a national security threat (drones, sonar, whales, and fisheries) while suspecting it’s really cover for AI data centers. They react to Lindsey Graham winning his primary and argue primaries are dominated by older voters, then debate whether rising “populist left” primary winners are real or controlled opposition like Bernie/AOC. The hosts vent about race-based rage-bait around the Carmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf stabbing case and detour into legal principles via the Alex Murdaugh mistrial. They celebrate 199 Democrats and 19 Republicans voting down a three-week FISA extension, dunk on Mike Johnson’s World Cup panic, and close with a “gratuitous” Mark Levin rant calling the Iran war “spectacular.”

Trump & Bibi DIVORCE?! Section 224 Says Otherwise

Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh riff through a chaotic Libservative episode: the House passes symbolic war-powers stuff (215–208) about ending hostilities with Iran while they dissect an Axios report claiming Trump cursed out Netanyahu—then note Bibi basically ignored it anyway, prompting Mark Levin’s all-caps meltdown about “leaks.” They laugh at Alaska’s Senate primary where Dan Sullivan is challenged by… Dan Sullivan, imagining confused boomer voters. They mock a Jill Biden moment treating Joe like a toddler, then roast Ivanka Trump for casually announcing a massive private Mediterranean island project like it’s a cute swim stop—framing it as peak “system’s rigged” fuel and a future “Noah’s Ark” for the rich. They also touch on the UK stabbing/body-cam controversy, knife laws, and Sikh kirpans before spiraling into golf and disc golf tangents.

Trump Can't Take A Loss!! (Which Means YOU Have To)

Dan and Corey run a crude, underprepared Libservative episode roasting midterms, money, and war. They mock Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and talk of a Trump-faced commemorative $250 bill as inflation/grift bait, and joke that aliens.gov isn’t UFOs—it’s an ICE snitch map. They react to Jill Biden saying she feared Joe was having a stroke during the 2024 debate, then slam her for praising him afterward while pushing a new book. They claim Peter Thiel is temporarily relocating to Argentina. On elections, they cover Ken Paxton beating John Cornyn and argue left-populist Democrats like James Talarico and Abdul El-Sayed are gaining by rejecting AIPAC money, with youth vs boomer turnout key. They say Trump keeps sabotaging Iran “deals” with renewed strikes and Abraham Accords demands, mention claims about mines in the Strait of Hormuz, and note drone warfare hammering the IDF in Lebanon. They end criticizing Tulsi Gabbard for compromising despite leaving due to her husband’s cancer.

Massie Blowback & The End of Boomer Control

Dan and Corey rant through Thomas Massie’s Kentucky primary loss, arguing he was targeted by $30–$32 million in pro-Israel/AIPAC-backed spending to install Navy SEAL Ed Gelrein—an “empty suit” who even refused to debate—while online gloaters still obsess over Massie. They mock claims it “wasn’t about Israel,” point to AI attack ads fooling older voters, and note Massie won voters under about 65 while boomers, Fox News, and a closed primary shaped the outcome. They speculate about suspicious turnout and mail-in ballot math, then pivot to a “white pill”: if one principled congressman scared the establishment enough to spend that much, more Massies could follow via grassroots organizing. The episode also slams Trump-era hypocrisy, mentions a DOJ “anti-weaponization” fund and IRS audit protections, and warns Rubio-style “terror” rhetoric could tee up a future clash with Cuba.

TRUMP's WAR Is More Important Than Your Livelihood

Dan, Corey, and Bel kick off Libservative hyping Kentucky viewers to vote for Rep. Thomas Massie ahead of the May 19 primary, warning a desperate smear campaign fueled by Adelson/Zionist money and arguing Massie wins if younger voters show up. They riff on the Supreme Court allowing abortion pills by mail during ongoing challenges, insisting the government shouldn’t control bodies. They mock AOC’s claim that “you can’t earn a billion dollars,” arguing the number is arbitrary, driven by inflation, and that lobbying is legalized bribery that stifles competition. They slam Trump saying Americans’ finances don’t matter in Iran negotiations and roast JD Vance for denying Trump said it, then criticize Vance’s “anti-fraud” talk while the Pentagon can’t pass audits and mention Trump Mobile preorders with no product. They deride Trump’s China meeting, Bret Baier’s surveillance hypocrisy, Netanyahu blaming bots for waning support after Gaza, and close by urging votes for Massie.

Is This The Price of "OWNING THE LIBS?!"

Dan and Cory open Libservative saying the war has “popped off again” during supposed Iran negotiations, citing Al Jazeera, CENTCOM claims of intercepted “unprovoked” attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump calling it a “skirmish” where U.S. destroyers “knocked the hell out of” Iranian fast boats—while both sides deny damage and they argue it’s all propaganda. They note war approval is deeply underwater (around 62–66% disapprove), predict rising gas will worsen it, and say Iran benefits from rally-around-the-flag. They mock the endless cycle of near-deals, bombings, and confused diplomacy, speculate what’s “holding Trump back” (Israel, Epstein, petrodollar), and dunk on a $1.5T defense budget pitch. They also hit Spirit Airlines’ demise, Daily Wire’s culture-war slump, ATF rollbacks, Epstein/Lutnick contradictions, and hantavirus cruise-ship panic—then sign off with vulgar jokes and plugs.

👁️ Sleepwalking Into A Surveillance State 👁️

Dan and Corey riff through a chaotic Libservative episode, joking about alleged U.S.-Iran “negotiations,” a shooting tied to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and how conspiracy theories now outrank race in the outrage Olympics. They dive into a lawsuit accusing JPMorgan exec Lorna Hajdinie of sexual abuse, racial harassment, drugging, and career threats toward a junior male colleague (“brown boy Indian”), then pivot to Trump-world hypocrisy after Steve Witkoff’s son is busted with cocaine. They react to a video of Nick Fuentes shoving a woman off his porch and argue harassment on private property is worse than liking him. The main theme is “sleepwalking into a surveillance state”: the UK’s tobacco ban for anyone born after 2008, Flock license-plate camera data sharing, and a federal “kill switch”/driver-monitor mandate that could disable cars. They also discuss alleged SPLC fraud via informant-style activism, Supreme Court limits on race-based gerrymandering, and rant about boo…

Is Orwell Laughing or Crying Right Now?

Dan and Corey host Libservative, riffing on surveillance and whether Orwell would be laughing or crying, starting with The Atlantic’s allegations that FBI Director Kash Patel gets so drunk meetings are rescheduled and he couldn’t answer a door without SWAT gear, then playing a booze-themed clip and mocking his Maria Bartiromo defense while noting he’s suing The Atlantic. They break down Palantir’s “Technological Republic” points, calling it soft-nationalist, hinting at “some cultures are better” eugenics vibes, pushing Silicon Valley into violent-crime “solutions” that feel like AI-enabled surveillance, and complaining it asks the public not to scrutinize leaders. They cover a Florida student arrested over a “drop some bond bonds” joke about Netanyahu, then slam Trump for praising and seeking a “clean” FISA 702 extension, explaining incidental collection/backdoor searches and quoting his willingness to “risk” citizens’ rights for security.

Why Are Politicians So Horny?

Dan and Corey riff through a chaotic Libservative episode: Biden-style “everything’s fine” messaging amid $4+ gas, diesel spikes, oil as a global commodity, fertilizer shortages, and looming inflation that will make food pricier—especially crushing small farmers while “big ag” gets subsidies. They hammer Trump’s talk of “price gouging,” the Iran conflict’s economic fallout, NATO threats, and warn that even ending it now won’t quickly fix oil/fertilizer supply chains. They detour into Congress scandals (Swalwell, Gonzalez) and mock why politicians are so horny while taxpayers fund a $17M misconduct settlement slush fund and lawmakers block releasing names. They clown a Melania statement denying Epstein ties despite a friendly Maxwell email, note Apple Maps wiping southern Lebanon villages, play polling showing Trump collapsing with non-college white voters, and end with Pete Hegseth quoting Pulp Fiction as “scripture.”

Trump Delays Bombing; Tries To Figure Out How To Win While Losing

Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh host a Tuesday “Libservative” episode reacting to Trump’s threatened “Power Plant Day and Bridge Day” strikes on Iran, which instead becomes talk of a two‑week ceasefire and an Iranian 10‑point peace plan the White House calls “workable.” They slam MAGA influencers for declaring “Trump won,” listing costs and deaths (including 13 U.S. service members) and arguing the U.S. lost leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, depleted Tomahawk stockpiles, damaged trust in negotiations, and weakened the dollar as shipping fees and non‑USD oil trades emerge. They mock pro‑war media spin via a Laura Ingraham clip, play Joe Kent warning Israel could sabotage talks, note reports of continued Israeli strikes, and criticize Trump’s “animals” rhetoric and threats against journalists, ending with a humorous autopen and “look what I did” Trump clip.

Trump Doesn't Know What It Means To Win This War

Dan and Corey kick off Libservative with Dan accidentally yanking a nail while renovating and sending his wife’s plants—succulents, aloe, and a money tree—crashing down the stairs in a 20-pound soil disaster. Dan then admits he spent an hour arguing with ChatGPT about fascism vs. socialism and calls it a “pinko.” The episode pivots to a Daily Mail report alleging Kristi Noem’s husband, Brian Noem, lived a cross-dressing “bimbofication” double life, paid sex workers, and created a blackmail risk, which they roast while debating whether the LGBT community would accept him given the hypocrisy. They also criticize Trump’s recent speech on Iran as a “nothing burger,” warn about Strait of Hormuz economic fallout and international-law posturing, and briefly hit Pam Bondi’s firing, Epstein-file skepticism, and a Supreme Court move sending a conversion-therapy speech case back to lower courts before signing off with plugs.

Troops on The Ground!!: A Master Class in Bad Propaganda

Dan, Corey, and Bell bicker through a late start, pizza-and-beer bloat, and a gag about an “Airbnb furniture pisser” being JD Vance’s perfect mistress, then riff on a false report that Chuck Norris died while reminiscing about Walker, Texas Ranger and even finding an existing podcast about it. They joke about a limbless pro cornhole player allegedly killing someone, then discuss backlash to a Druski parody of Erica Kirk and how outrage culture fuels itself. The show pivots hard to Israel–Iran and propaganda, slams Gavin Newsom for flip-flopping on Israel, mocks Pete Hegseth for accusing Iran of neglecting its people, and argues the U.S. and allies keep moving goalposts toward boots on the ground, even raising draft age talk. They warn Iran can “win” by triggering an energy crisis, highlight Israel’s stated intent to control southern Lebanon, and roast synchronized media scripts about paying more at the pump. They condemn talk of assassinating the Ayatollah, cite nuclear deterrence log…

The Character Assassination of Joe Kent

Dan and Corey rip into the Iran war as a convenient distraction from the Epstein files, arguing the public gets hammered by tangible fallout like gas spikes while elites shrug. They spotlight former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent’s resignation condemning the war as Israel-driven and not in Americans’ interests, but also criticize anti-war media figures for blaming Israel while refusing to hold Trump accountable. They play and dissect Tulsi Gabbard’s tense committee exchange with Sen. Ossoff, accusing her of evasive, president-deferential non-answers about whether Iran posed an “imminent” nuclear threat, and declare her credibility dead. The episode also mocks a bizarre Netanyahu–Huckabee “punch card” video, paints Netanyahu as openly bloodthirsty, and blasts Trump advisor Kevin Hassett for admitting consumers may suffer while insisting the macro economy will be fine.

Bombs, Barrels & Bulls#!t

With Dan ditching to Florida, Corey and Bell run the Libservative podcast from the UAE, railing at the ongoing Iran war, Trump golfing, and gas prices jumping (about 64 cents nationally) while Trump opens reserves—after Republicans blasted Biden for doing it. They argue the U.S. is firing million-dollar missiles at $20k drones, burning roughly a billion dollars a day, and heading toward a long attrition war (Pentagon memos reportedly prepping through Sept 2026), with public support low. They detour into U.S.-UK oil history in Iran, “short-term pain” propaganda, cluster bomb hypocrisy, Patriot/THAAD systems being shifted from South Korea, and fears Iran could target the economy and banks. They cover weak jobs numbers (92,000 lost; unemployment 4.4%), resurfacing Epstein guard coverup questions, and special-election signs of a potential “blue wave,” plus Trump attacking Thomas Massie.

🏳️‍🌈Supporting The Iran War IS WOKE AND GAY🏳️‍🌈

Dan and Corey argue the Iran war is a propaganda-fueled “war of choice,” mocking shifting justifications (nukes, missiles, Hezbollah, regime change, protecting troops) and the claim that opposing it means “hating America.” They say hawks on X rely on character assassination (Tucker, Megyn Kelly, Dave Smith) while polls are manipulated by wording, and they warn the conflict will spike gas, disrupt supply chains, and lead to boots-on-the-ground escalation via proxies and contractors. They highlight “Operation Epic Fury,” Rubio’s flip-flop, claims of Iranian sleeper cells undermining Patriot Act logic, and viral videos of Iranians “celebrating” as lazy messaging. They discuss a veteran protester whose arm was broken at a hearing, allegations Trump bombed amid Oman-mediated talks, Israel-driven motives, PolyMarket war bets, Kristi Noem’s scandal, and Markwayne Mullin replacing her.

The State of Disunion 2026

Dan and Corey mix raunchy jokes with annoyance over the U.S. hockey gold getting instantly politicized—selfies with Kash Patel, Trump’s call, and both sides melting down—arguing nobody can just enjoy a win anymore. They roast the State of the Union as empty political theater, mock Trump’s “we’re winning too much” moment and cherry-picked gas/grocery claims, and warn the Iran drumbeat is the same Iraq War playbook, backed by clips of Netanyahu saying Iran is “weeks away” for decades. The show turns darker on AI: the Pentagon pressuring Anthropic over guardrails that block autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, plus warnings this could gut Fourth Amendment protections. They also cite a whistleblower alleging ICE is being trained to violate the Constitution with warrantless home entries and shortened academy training, then briefly praise Zohran Mamdani’s clever Trump vanity-play on NYC housing before signing off.

War, Trafficking, and Communism: A Lesson in Government

an and Corey’s “Libservative” spirals from joking about the blandly named “12 day war” into a grab-bag of chaos: Dan’s vivid dream of Jake Paul booking him to fight Tim Pool (with CM Punk and a methylene-blue-chugging RFK Jr.), then roasting the viral RFK Jr./Kid Rock workout-sauna-pickleball video. They dig into Epstein fallout, arguing there aren’t big protests because most protests are donor-driven and elites are implicated, and they complain internet noise muddies real facts (including a Leslie Wexner hot-mic lawyer joke). They warn the US looks headed toward another Iran conflict, claiming goalposts keep moving and it’ll repeat Libya/Iraq/Syria-style “mission accomplished” destruction. They dunk on NYC “mom communism” via a Mamdani advisor calling for government-funded housing (via printing money), mock AOC’s Munich foreign-policy word salad, praise Tim Burchett calling DC a corrupt “sewer,” and play clips (Dave Smith, Blakely) tying inflation to war spending and blasting both pa…
