    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

    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
