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

    Fauci Pleads the Fifth, Iran War Munitions Crisis, and Michigan Senate Primary Embarrassments Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh host Libservative and lead with Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment in a congressional appearance, discussing his preemptive pardon, Josh Hawley’s questioning, and Rand Paul’s release of Fauci’s diary suggesting early private doubts about the wet market origin, lab-leak discussions, gain-of-function research, and Fauci’s enjoyment of celebrity. They compare Fauci’s Fifth pleading to Trump’s and argue COVID policies caused ostracism, government overreach, wealth transfer, and broader social harms. The show warns the Iran war is escalating and merging with the Ukraine conflict while U.S. high-end munitions stockpiles (Patriot, THAAD, Tomahawk) are dangerously depleted with slow replenishment timelines. They mock Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Haley Stevens’ campaign moments and donations questions, contrast her with Abdul El-Sayed, debate monopolies and government regulation, and end with Sam Husseini confronting Chuck Schumer over genocide while Schumer speaks on Trump corruption. 00:00 Welcome and Rundown 01:00 Fauci Takes the Fifth 05:40 COVID Fallout and Resentment 11:07 Fifth Amendment Explained 13:39 Fauci Diary Bombshells 17:30 Fame and Death Counts 23:56 COVID Memory Lane 33:06 Trump vs Fauci Fifth 41:26 Josh Hawley Grills Fauci 44:12 Brown v Walker Breakdown 46:30 Epstein Political Theater 47:01 Bell F35 Running Gag 48:38 Iran War Going Nowhere 51:39 Munitions Stockpile Crisis 57:50 Taiwan World War Risk 58:58 Trump Hamas Deal Claims 01:02:16 Truth Social Bot Slop 01:04:19 Claude Skynet Security Scare 01:05:54 Flock Cameras And ID Scans 01:12:31 Haley Stevens Cringe Campaign 01:24:20 Utility Money Non Answer 01:25:57 Stevens Senate Ambitions 01:27:46 Primary Stakes and Money 01:30:25 El-Sayed Not Socialist 01:34:32 Monopoly Debate Explained 01:36:33 Government Creates Monopolies 01:44:09 Bailouts and Socialized Losses 01:53:06 Schumer Confronted on Genocide 02:01:09 Wrap Up and Where to Find Us

    Congress: Unserious Orwellian-ism

    Congress Stock Ban Games, NDAA Section 219, and the Episode’s Running Bits Dan and Corey focus on Congress and political theater, digging into the House-passed ban on lawmakers (and families) trading individual stocks, praising the idea but warning about loopholes, keeping existing holdings, and exempting the president and vice president; they highlight Thomas Massie’s point that Republicans attached a voter ID provision to force Democrats to vote no and then run midterm ads claiming Democrats opposed banning insider trading. They also break down NDAA Section 219, arguing it makes expanded U.S.–Israel technology, R&D, and defense cooperation into law, criticizing Ben Shapiro’s framing and debating whether “merging parts of the military” is overstated but still a sovereignty concern. The episode ends with heavier humor and clips, including a New York candidate railing at Ben & Jerry’s, a Mark Levin–Lindsey Graham tribute, Pride corporatization commentary, virtue-signaling satire, and a viral treehouse-vs-permits story, plus assorted banter and show drops. 00:00 Welcome Back Libservative 00:56 Trump Speech Hangover 02:52 No Prosecutions Theater 05:08 China Data Nothingburger 07:51 Norway Oil Side Quest 12:59 Cop Dream Detour 16:55 NDAA Section 219 23:18 Shapiro Doublespeak 31:44 Congress Stock Ban 36:11 Voter ID Poison Pill 39:20 Parties Both Right Wing 40:31 Dating Politics Banter 41:45 Voter ID Debate 43:21 Camera Blur Banter 44:13 Tyler Robinson Hearing 46:54 Blurry CCTV Narrative 52:51 Dusty Barrel Questions 56:30 Lance Twiggs Testimony 01:05:54 Reasonable Doubt Talk 01:09:13 War Narrative Returns 01:09:27 Midwit Talking Heads 01:11:52 Russia China Blame Game 01:18:25 Michigan Primary Preview 01:19:48 Haley Stevens Cringe Clip 01:23:27 Senate Ads Breakdown 01:26:00 PAC Money and FARA 01:27:00 Blakeman Ben and Jerrys Clip 01:30:42 Levin on Lindsey Graham 01:36:10 Pride Gets Corporatized 01:40:45 Activism as Identity Trap 01:42:45 Virtue Signaling Skit 01:48:39 Politics as Sports Culture 01:52:55 Treehouse vs Red Tape 01:58:29 Neighbor Fence Line Rant 02:01:25 Closing and Plugs

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

    Libservative Drinking Game: Trump’s Election Declassification Speech and a Crude Lindsey Graham Rant Hosts Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh open with banter and announce a drinking-game episode built around a forthcoming Trump address, then spend significant time reacting to the reported death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, criticizing him as a warmonger, mocking post-death conspiracy theories, joking about his successor being his sister, and playing a crude “what should we do with Lindsey Graham’s ashes” bit. They then present the drinking-game rules (keywords like “radical left,” “fraud,” “stolen,” “voting machines,” “mail-in voting,” “voter ID,” “illegal aliens,” etc.) and watch Trump’s speech, during which he takes credit for economic and border claims and announces declassification of intelligence alleging vulnerabilities in election infrastructure, foreign interference (especially China), voting-machine risks, fraud allegations in Michigan, and non-citizens on voter rolls, urging passage of the “Save America Act.” Afterward they discuss the speech’s tone, federal centralization concerns, and compare parts of it to past narratives, then play a Pete Hegseth video about testosterone screening/therapy for service members before closing with show plugs. 00:00 Show Kickoff 01:35 Trump Speech Drinking Game 02:42 Lindsey Graham Dies 04:20 Conspiracy Theories Erupt 12:09 Ashes Comedy Game 18:34 Back to Conspiracies 21:29 Rules and Over Under 28:16 Killing Time Hegseth Clip 29:31 Trump Address Begins 33:52 Election Integrity Claims 50:10 Election Fraud Claims 53:06 Save America Act Push 54:55 Drinking Game Fallout 55:22 Post Speech Breakdown 01:02:27 Michigan Voter Rolls 01:04:08 Journalism Tangent 01:12:45 Centralizing Elections Debate 01:19:16 Surveillance Camera Sabotage 01:24:18 Military Testosterone Program 01:31:01 Wrap Up And Plug

    McConnell or Platner? Who's Closer to Death?

    War Back On, McConnell Hospital Rumors, and Platner Ends Maine Senate Bid Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh open with July 4th reflections and debate what “America at 250” represents, then pivot to renewed conflict involving Iran after disputes over ship routing and threats to close a strait tied to Israel’s continued bombing of Lebanon; they argue Iran has escalation dominance and discuss whether Trump’s actions reflect donor influence. They cover reports that Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized since mid-June for an alleged heart attack, critique media messaging, and argue for congressional age limits while condemning long-serving political leadership as self-enriching and procedurally obstructionist. The show then focuses on Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who ends his bid amid sexual assault allegations, questioning recovered-memory claims, media corroboration, and the timing, and asserting Maine Democrats can now replace him without voters’ input. They close with a Mark Levin clip urging action on Iran and brief discussion of Michigan’s Senate primary dynamics. 00:00 Show Cold Open 00:58 Headphones Chaos 02:38 Fourth of July Pool Story 07:44 America Turns 250 13:12 War Back On Iran 19:35 Mark Levin Tease 20:27 McConnell Hospital Rumors 29:41 Boomers Broke America 36:08 Massie and Senate Seat 39:19 Ron Paul vs Bernie 45:04 Pivot to Platner 45:53 Recovered Memories Doubts 48:51 Opposition Research Playbook 53:00 Maine Replacement Loophole 01:01:59 Accuser Interview Breakdown 01:16:13 Therapist Email Controversy 01:19:09 Democracy Undermined Outcome 01:22:23 Mark Levin CUFI Rant 01:28:07 Michigan Senate Shakeup 01:34:18 Gumby Tangent Signoff 01:36:43 Final Wrap Credits

    Socialism Is Coming?! Massie Goes Scorched Earth!

    Socialist Primary Wins, Pro-Israel Litmus Tests, and Trump’s Housing Bill Standoff Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh discuss Democratic socialist primary wins in New York and argue the “pearl clutching” is overblown but signals a crack in the neoliberal order, contrasting it with GOP “corporate socialism,” including Trump-era government stakes in companies like Intel and US Steel. They criticize claims that being anti-Israel is anti-American, highlighting clips of John Fetterman and Ted Cruz linking antisemitism to anti-capitalism and “Islamists and communists,” and argue overuse of antisemitism accusations dulls public attention to real hate. They cover Trump refusing to sign a bipartisan housing affordability bill until the SAVE Act advances, citing a Harry Enten segment on soaring affordability concerns. They urge viewers to call Congress about Thomas Massie’s amendments to cut $3.3B in Israel funding and oppose US-Israel defense tech ties, and briefly address severe sentences in a Texas ICE-facility attack case involving Daniel Sanchez Estrada. 00:00 Show Intro Banter 01:50 Socialists Win Primaries 07:03 Corporate Socialism Examples 09:18 Middle Class Squeezed 10:54 Norway Fund Comparison 13:45 Neolibs Panic in Michigan 15:56 McMorrow Smear Clip 21:40 Money and AIPAC Angle 24:04 Taxes Printing and Inflation 26:53 Right Wing Talking Points 29:46 Fetterman Anti Israel Rant 34:20 Ted Cruz Green Red Alliance 38:32 Real vs Weaponized Antisemitism 41:22 Weaponizing Antisemitism Claims 43:13 GOP Populists vs Party Machine 45:19 Trump Stalls Housing Bill 47:28 Voter ID and Fraud Reality Check 52:16 Ballot Harvesting and Voting Holiday 54:40 Affordability Data and GOP Strategy 01:00:16 Massie Moves to Defund Israel 01:05:11 Estrada Case and Terror Charges 01:11:30 Pardons and Political Retaliation 01:14:24 Mark Levin Impression Comedy 01:18:28 Sign Off and Where to Listen

    Trump Heel Turns On Iran?!?!

    Libservative: Iran MOU, Trump Shifts, and Mark Levin Meltdowns Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh open the Libservative podcast with comedy bits and Mark Levin sound drops, then discuss reports of an imminent U.S.–Iran memorandum of understanding they view as a possible end to the Iran conflict but remain skeptical, citing midterms timing and the risk of renewed fighting. They note Trump’s changing rhetoric on Iran (including comments on ballistic missiles and regime change), JD Vance criticizing Israeli cabinet members for attacking Trump, and Trump arguing frozen Iranian assets may need to be returned to preserve confidence in the dollar. Corey reads the MOU text, highlighting ceasefire terms, Hormuz shipping, sanctions relief, oil waivers, asset unfreezing, and reconstruction funding, followed by debate over pros, credibility costs, inflation, and Israel’s actions. They also cover neocon backlash, a Laura Loomer tweet, George Santos betting allegations, the White House reflecting pool algae, UFC “Freedom 250,” and World Cup fan culture. 00:00 Cold Open Welcome 02:04 Mark Levin Drops 04:18 Ceasefire Deal Skepticism 05:24 JD Vance Warns Israel 08:16 Trump on Missiles Oil 12:22 Deal Doubts Midterms 14:39 Frozen Assets Petrodollar 21:54 Neocon Meltdown Loomer 25:28 Trailer Park Crime Story 28:25 Reading Iran MOU Terms 36:59 Hegseth Strength Spin 37:46 Pros Cons Inflation Costs 44:31 Rockefeller Wealth Tangent 45:36 George Santos Bet Scandal 47:06 Santos Fan Club 47:52 Reflecting Pool Chaos 50:08 UFC White House Circus 55:52 Bud Light Whiplash 01:03:01 World Cup Culture Clash 01:11:18 Border And Referee Drama 01:12:38 Mark Levin Bonus Rant 01:25:07 Neocon Narratives Debunked 01:31:06 Wrap Up And Plugs

    Karmelo Anthony and Israel Are The Same

    Boomers Love War, Windmills Are Spy Towers, and FISA Tears (Libservative Crash-Out Hour) Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh riff through a chaotic Libservative episode covering Trump repeatedly claiming the Iran war is “over” while Axios reports a deal Iran denies, plus Lindsey Graham winning his primary and why older voters dominate primaries. They discuss populist primary wins, doubts about whether new left candidates are genuine or controlled opposition like they claim Bernie and AOC became, and mention Thomas Massie facing major money. They mock Doug Burgum calling offshore wind turbines a national security threat and link it to AI data center fears. They celebrate a House vote that killed a three-week FISA extension and lampoon Speaker Mike Johnson’s warning that expiring FISA endangers World Cup and “America 250” events, explaining Section 702’s warrantless surveillance loophole. They also criticize race-driven rage bait around the Carmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf stabbing case, touch on Barry Weiss’s CNN influence claims, and end with a “Gratuitous Mark Levin Rant” about Iran. 00:00 Cold Open and Introductions 01:55 Tonight’s Topics Rundown 03:04 Primaries and Populist Surge 08:59 Bernie AOC Controlled Op Debate 14:12 Why Lindsey Graham Won 16:35 Boomer Media and Iran Hawk Clip 18:51 Age Limits Voting and Taxpayer Rights 23:04 Carmelo Anthony Case and Race Bait 38:55 Justice System Principles Murdaugh Aside 42:18 Oval Office Sycophants 43:57 Energy Grid Reality Check 48:05 Wind Turbines Security Claim 50:34 Data Centers Distraction Theory 55:38 Iran Deal Doom Loop 01:01:16 FISA Extension Fails 01:07:23 Section 702 Explained 01:12:10 CNN Barry Weiss Shakeup 01:15:59 Mark Levin Rant Breakdown 01:22:40 Wrap Up Social Security Tease
