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.
Kash Patel’s Alleged Bender, Palantir’s ‘Manifesto,’ and Trump’s FISA Flip: Is Orwell Laughing or Crying?
Dan and Corey host Libservative, joking about surveillance and “Orwellian” politics while discussing an Atlantic report alleging FBI Director Kash Patel is so drunk meetings are rescheduled and SWAT equipment was needed to reach him; Patel denies the claims on Maria Bartiromo and threatens to sue the Atlantic. They pivot to Palantir’s “Technological Republic” points, criticizing what they read as soft nationalism, cultural hierarchy, and a push for Silicon Valley-led crime solutions that normalize AI surveillance, plus a claim that scrutiny drives “good people” out of government. They also cover an FIU student arrested after a group-chat message referencing Netanyahu “drop some bond bonds,” and argue it reflects censorship and overreach. Finally, they note Trump once opposed FISA but now urges a “clean” Section 702 extension, saying he’ll risk citizens’ rights for security.
