    Trump Punches You In The Face...And Then Asks For Your Vote

    Diesel at $6.40, McConnell’s a Zombie, and Woke Right Cancel Culture (Go Bills) Dan, Corey, and Bell banter about the Lions getting cooked in Buffalo, then pivot to politics: they claim Mitch McConnell is basically dead, Republicans are headed for a midterm bloodbath, and generic-ballot polling has swung from GOP +3 after 2024 to Democrats about +7/+8, with notable Senate race polls (Texas Talarico +3, Ohio Brown +3.2, Maine Jackson +2 vs. Collins, Ossoff +8 in Georgia). They discuss Haley Stevens after losing her primary, highlighting a street confrontation where she denies genocide, calls anti-Zionism a hate movement, and says she’s a proud Zionist. The hosts argue both parties serve donors, not voters, and tie political backlash to soaring fuel costs (diesel ~6.40 national, CA near $9; gas ~4.44), fuel surcharges, and airline warnings about jet fuel up ~105%, while mocking Trump’s plan to let diesel haulers drive 16 hours. They cover Thomas Massie’s impeachment push against Pete Hegseth, Hegseth’s awful approval numbers (around -25; independents -40), Mike Johnson punting House business for two months, and Robert Kraft barring Macklemore for saying “Free Palestine,” framing it as hypocritical “woke right” deplatforming, capped with a Mark Levin clip endorsing deplatforming. 00:00 Welcome and NFL Banter 01:30 Tonight’s Agenda and GOP Trouble 02:18 Grok AI Thirst Trap Discourse 03:56 Macklemore and Streisand Effect 04:26 Hegseth Impeachment Tease 05:25 Haley Stevens Aftermath 05:57 Debate Dodging and Trump Playbook 07:00 Lions Meltdown Interruption 11:31 Haley Stevens Confrontation Clip 16:14 Why a Blue Wave Is Coming 17:17 Generic Ballot and Polling Errors 20:33 State-by-State Senate Shockers 23:24 GOP Messaging Chaos and Leadership 25:32 Diesel Prices and Supply Warnings 30:05 Ripple Effects on Infrastructure and Food 33:33 Diesel Price Shock 34:06 Unleaded And Jet Fuel 36:28 Diesel Engines Explained 38:13 Fuel Shelf Life Debate 39:26 Truckers Hours Policy 44:14 Trade Deficit Rant 46:47 Boomer Gas Interview 54:17 Midterms Change Nothing 56:48 Obama And Iran Deal 01:00:27 Macklemore Stadium Ban 01:02:22 Stadium Funding Hypocrisy 01:11:30 Macklemore Venue Backlash 01:12:02 Kanye And Double Standards 01:12:21 Old Tweets And Photos 01:14:45 Portnoy Free Speech Flip 01:17:12 Semites Zionists Breakdown 01:21:40 Genocide Definition Debate 01:26:35 Hegseth GOP Revolt 01:28:45 Johnson Punts The Vote 01:34:06 Mark Levin Deplatforming 01:43:01 Show Wrap And Plugs

    Remembering 9/11 (The National Day of Rage Bait)

    Never Forget (Unless It’s for Twitter Dun dun) Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh host a Libservative episode recorded a day late because Corey was sick and co-host Bell is absent on his 9/11 birthday. On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, they argue the day has become “National Day of Rage Bait,” with conservatives attacking AOC and Zohran Mamdani for briefly smiling during a four-hour name reading and liberals mocking Trump for appearing to fall asleep. They discuss generational trauma, desensitization, and why grifting off the dead is worse than jokes, while noting Mamdani faces an unwinnable situation as a Muslim at the memorial. They briefly veer into Middle East sectarian details and conspiratorial suspicion, then shift to an update on the Lindsay Clancy case, saying she can be both a murderer and failed by the mental health system, and suggesting first-degree murder may have been an overcharge under Massachusetts law. They cover a reported copycat case in Illinois involving a different “Corey Walsh,” then close by framing their humor as an Irish wake-style coping mechanism. 00:00 Welcome Back Banter 00:57 Bell Birthday Update 02:16 Copycat Headlines Confusion 03:29 25 Years Since 9/11 04:44 Growing Up Post 9/11 09:26 School Violence Memories 12:17 National Day Rage Bait 14:10 AOC Trump Memorial Clips 18:17 Somber Reality Returns 21:46 Politicized Never Forget 24:51 Mamdani No Win Trap 27:50 Fetterman Breaking Points 33:15 Conspiracy Iran Israel Talk 40:32 Irish Wake Perspective 43:10 Coping With 9/11 43:41 Personal Stories Hit Hard 44:46 Rescue Me Recommendation 47:42 Lindsay Clancy Revisited 49:47 Overcharge And Jury Logic 54:42 Premeditation Versus Impulse 58:29 Insanity Defense Debate 01:01:56 Copycat Case And Media 01:11:23 Algorithms And Outrage 01:13:58 Agency Versus Exploitation 01:19:40 Neighbor Watch Tangent 01:28:55 Closing Thoughts And Outro

    How Can Trump Win The War?...Send In Lindsay Clancy?

    Storm Sirens, Iran War Brainrot, and Lake America: Libservative Goes Full Manosphere Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh open the Libservative show describing severe storms, power outages, and a tornado-siren school lockdown, then preview topics including Debbie Dingell’s plan to block renaming Great Lakes, the Lindsay Clancy case, Milo Yiannopoulos’ deportation, and claims made at the Republican Jewish Coalition. They focus on a Jerusalem Post opinion by A.J. Jaff arguing the Iran war can’t be won by airstrikes and proposing three alternatives: Congress recognizing independence for Iranian minority regions, offering debt relief to recruit enough Americans for a ground war estimated at 750,000–1.5 million troops, and cutting a Washington–Beijing deal to secure Chinese access to Iranian oil post-conflict. They mock these proposals, argue they would fuel civil war or coercive enlistment, and criticize RJC speakers for openly claiming credit for defeating Thomas Massie while calling such claims “conspiracy theories” when critics say them. 00:00 Show Intro Storm Chaos 01:34 Dark Jokes Cold Open 02:58 Tonight's Topics Rundown 04:09 Jerusalem Post Iran Plan 09:02 Option One Partition Iran 15:53 Option Two Debt Draft 28:07 Government Tangent DMV USPS 32:32 Option Three China Oil Deal 41:12 Wrap Iran Segment Verdict 41:58 Debbie Dingell Lake Rename 43:53 Great Lakes Pop Quiz 45:56 Michigan vs America Geography 47:52 Lake Michigan Mitten Debate 48:56 RJC Clips Roll In 50:48 Massie Ouster Controversy 57:38 FARA and Zionist Lobbying 01:00:02 Lindsay Clancy Case Setup 01:01:28 Online Camps and Reactions 01:07:39 Intrusive Thoughts TikTok 01:13:10 Feminism Accountability Debate 01:16:34 Hormones Satire Breakdown 01:18:37 Two Truths and Equality 01:20:02 Mental State Defense Debate 01:21:51 GoFundMe and Viral Outrage 01:22:39 Abortion Rights Detour 01:26:56 Punishment vs Sympathy 01:31:31 Feminism and Public Perception 01:34:42 Activism Never Ends 01:38:58 Gender Violence and Rape Myths 01:43:16 Corey vs Culture War Fatigue 01:46:21 Milo Deportation Tangent 01:51:38 Wrap Up and Plugs

    Trump Makes People Dumb: A Lake America Beach Party

    Lake America, Recalled Argentine Beef, and the Socialist Stadium Scam Dan, Corey, and Bell kick off with chaotic banter about movies, booze, and last week’s near-ban, then pivot to news: Dolly Parton’s death and Trump’s attempts to politicize it, plus Trump’s headline-grabbing move to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” as a distraction. They criticize Trump’s beef policy for importing more foreign beef while leaving U.S. ranchers hamstrung by protectionist rules; they cite a USDA recall of about 29,628 pounds of Argentine beef in Florida and Texas for missing required re-inspection, and discuss how drought, low cattle herds, and high fertilizer costs squeeze ranchers. The hosts mock Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s sanctions rhetoric on Iran, argue sanctions mainly hurt civilians and push countries toward BRICS, note Bessent once worked for George Soros, and compare national-debt growth under Obama, Trump, and Biden. They also call major pro sports “corporate socialism,” attacking taxpayer-funded stadiums, and briefly mention a MAGA-linked Latin America murder-for-hire plot. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative 00:33 New Computer Jitters 02:04 City Slickers Movie Talk 06:08 Last Week Ban Scare 07:22 Tonight's Topics Preview 09:11 Enes Freedom WNBA Stunt 15:35 Dolly Parton Tribute 20:06 Trump Beef Import Backfire 28:00 Ranchers vs Big Meat Packers 35:55 Picanha Steak Debate 41:53 Driscoll Berries Exposed 47:32 Scott Bessent Sanctions Rant 52:42 Dollar Under Pressure 53:55 Bessent Soros Connection 55:44 Sanctions And BRICS Shift 01:01:00 Economic D Day Clip 01:03:20 Petrodollar Inflation Fears 01:06:35 Debt Blame Game 01:14:08 Lake America Distraction 01:25:39 Sports Corporate Socialism 01:40:35 Stadium Subsidy Rant 01:46:50 Wrap Up And Plugs

    Trump Breaks Out The Economic Weapons Now?!

    Nancy Mace’s Post-Primary Rack Tour & the Dollar’s Slow Death Spiral Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh open the Libservative Podcast with jokes, rap talk, and plugs for their two-hour interview with Joshua Ferguson (The Hourly Struggle) about pressuring city councils. They spend a long, explicit segment reacting to Nancy Mace’s new bikini/tattoo photos, riffing on OnlyFans, Nick Fuentes’ rant calling her an “aging skank,” and debating whether mystery is better than paying to see more. The show shifts to foreign policy and economics: Trump’s promised “economic D-Day” on Iran, sanctions and SWIFT as drivers of de-dollarization and BRICS growth, and fears that U.S. dollar dominance and living standards are being undermined by recent presidents’ spending and sanctions. They discuss possible NATO fracture if Israel provokes conflict with Turkey in Syria, play Brett Cooper criticizing Dan Crenshaw’s “eat ramen and shut up” hypocrisy, revisit Social Security privatization arguments, cover Michigan GOP claims about cutting “ghost employees,” and briefly review the Candace Owens vs Andrew Wilson debate, concluding Candace won mainly by asking better questions. They end with a Mark Levin clip attacking Sen. Jon Ossoff and a final promo for the Ferguson episode. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative 01:00 Rap Talk and Copyright 02:15 New Interview Plug 03:51 Nancy Mace Bikini Buzz 07:02 OnlyFans Speculation Spiral 10:26 Mystery Spot Metaphor 13:57 Nick Fuentes Reacts 22:36 Back to Real Politics 23:12 Trump Economic D-Day Iran 25:30 Dollar Sanctions and BRICS 33:39 NATO Turkey Israel Flashpoint 41:46 World War Vibes and Economy 44:03 Brett Cooper Clip Tease 44:49 Crenshaw Burrito Hypocrisy 46:37 Lady Ben Shapiro Poll 52:08 Privatize Social Security 57:56 Inflation Market Signals 01:01:22 Michigan Ghost Employees 01:09:03 Candace Owens Debate 01:20:32 Mark Levin Identity Rant 01:26:00 Wrap Up And Plugs

    "Enshittification" With Joshua Ferguson

    Enshittification at City Hall: Taxes, Surveillance, and the Freedom to Get Screwed Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh host Joshua Ferguson of The Hourly Struggle to discuss his viral Fullerton, CA city council speech introducing “enshittification” as a way to describe government deterioration that benefits public-sector unions and officials while residents pay more and get less. Ferguson explains Fullerton’s proposed half-cent special sales tax pitched as infrastructure funding, arguing money is fungible and would backfill salaries and pensions amid budget failures, missing funds, and lawsuits, while fear-mongering tactics were used to justify it. The conversation expands to local surveillance (Flock/ALPR/Axon), lack of transparency, and Ferguson’s lawsuit after accessing public records via an unsecured Dropbox link exposing misconduct. They connect these dynamics to partisan hypocrisy, expanding federal power, libertarian party dysfunction, and the appeal of DSA-style candidates amid economic stagnation and corporate-government predation. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:15 Enshittification Explained 05:07 City Council Clip Breakdown 09:17 Tax Measure Backstory 15:45 Fear Tactics and Flock Cameras 19:46 Surveillance and FOIA Hypocrisy 28:18 Power Ratchet and Partisanship 33:49 Taleb Quote Debate 37:41 Libertarians and Real Politics 41:33 Libertarian Movement Problem 42:48 Two Parties Myth Explained 45:59 Convention Chaos and Infighting 48:23 Mises Caucus Rise and Sellout 52:24 Debate Stage Barriers 53:18 Tulsi Gabbard Disillusionment 58:28 Trump Relevancy and COVID Parallels 01:02:15 Tim Pool Rant 01:04:42 DSA Surge and Economic Anger 01:15:36 Monopolies Walmart and Amazon 01:21:51 Why Young Voters Turn Left 01:23:41 Foreign Policy Capture 01:24:53 Why DSA Sells 01:26:00 Defense vs Healthcare Choice 01:27:53 California One Party Reality 01:37:50 Prop 13 and Pensions 01:41:34 Social Security Ponzi Fight 01:44:32 Local Recalls and Zombies 01:47:23 Newsom and GOP Weak Bench 01:54:23 No Values No Principles 01:59:56 Wrap Up and Plugs

    What Is an "Islamist"? And Why Does It Feel Like 2005 Again?

    Libservative: WNBA Draft Trolls, Comedians Dump Trump, and Mark Levin Wants Your Burrito Draft Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh host Libservative and riff through several topics: they discuss “culture wars” and a WNBA controversy after Sophie Cunningham says the league is a space for women, prompting backlash and a troll response from Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White announcing intentions to enter the WNBA draft to expose the league’s trans-athlete policies. They talk about comedians who once supported Trump now turning on him and argue society punishes people for changing their minds or apologizing. They mock a Joe Rogan clip debating communism while contrasting wealth creation and redistribution. The show pivots to an Iran war update, claiming U.S. munitions are low and Iran’s negotiating demands have worsened, debating incentives for Iran not to pursue nukes. They cover DSA momentum and Hasan Piker’s influence, then close with a rant mocking Mark Levin’s complaints about young people, gas prices, and a draft. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative 00:53 Culture Wars Return 01:38 Comedians Flip on Trump 03:00 Cancel Culture and Apologies 05:20 Corporate Pride Backlash 10:23 Rogan Clip on Communism 11:37 Wealth Creation vs Redistribution 16:10 WNBA Trans Debate Begins 17:32 Kanter and Royce White Troll Draft 24:06 Royce White Announcement Clip 33:13 CNN Reacts to the Stunt 34:55 Why WNBA Gets Attention 40:54 Caitlin Clark Stays Neutral 44:25 Iran War Update and Low Munitions 46:12 Iran Sets Terms 48:09 Modern Warfare Reality 51:38 Why Iran Wants Nukes 55:14 DSA Surge Backlash 57:30 Hasan Piker Left Trump 01:04:19 Libertarians vs Left 01:06:43 Upcoming Ferguson Chat 01:07:56 Tyler Robinson Filing 01:10:50 Candace vs Wilson Hype 01:13:28 Mark Levin Meltdown 01:17:49 Boomer Entitlement Debate 01:28:44 Media Division Machine 01:35:27 Wrap Up And Plugs

    THE COMMIES ARE COMING!!!

    Michigan Primary Fallout, Mamdani Grocery ID Claim Debunked, and Spain’s Ceuta/Melilla Migration Surge Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh open with Dan recapping a recent Radical Independent roundtable, then correct a claim about Zohran Mamdani requiring IDs at proposed NYC city-run grocery stores, explaining the “library card-esque” idea was raised to prevent bulk resale of discounted staples. They discuss a viral Trump golf shot video and whether it shows an AI-like frame shift, and cover dropped DOJ charges in the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool “vandalism” case after renovation defects were found. The main segment focuses on Michigan’s Democratic primary where Abdul El-Sayed defeats Haley Stevens despite being heavily outspent, with hosts framing the race around AIPAC/foreign influence, media “Islamist” fearmongering, polling misses, and Mike Rogers ads tying El-Sayed to Hasan Piker’s “America deserved 9/11” remark; they also cite Dearborn results. They then speculate on Spain’s Ceuta/Melilla migrant surge as politically driven after a court ruling and possible Moroccan non-enforcement, and close with discussion of claims that community notes can be botted amid disputes over a Marco Rubio clip. 00:00 Welcome and Banter 00:52 Fried Brain and Panel Recap 03:04 Tonight's Agenda Setup 03:29 Mamdani Grocery ID Claim 06:44 Pirate Trophy Detour 09:07 Trump Golf Shot Breakdown 13:06 Reflecting Pool Charges Dropped 16:16 Michigan Primary Begins 19:36 Why Root for El-Sayed 24:44 Islamist Smear and Hasan Piker 28:48 Bernie on Cancel Culture 32:00 Haley Stevens Israel Clip 34:34 Money Influence and Rigging Claims 36:48 Wayne County Reality Check 38:37 Dearborn Vote Breakdown 39:25 Fraud Talk and Late Ballots 41:11 Cousin Marriage Rabbit Hole 43:38 Media Panic Over Abdul 44:31 Why Polls Missed Badly 46:55 Islamophobia vs Socialism 48:13 Mike Rogers Attack Ad 52:55 Spain Migrant Surge Theory 01:01:44 Community Notes and AI Claims 01:07:32 Unconventional Iran Pressure Jokes 01:15:05 Sign Off and Plugs
