  • Right Wing Grievance Culture IS Left Wing Woke Culture

    No Fatties, No Trannies, Justice Warriors: Right‑Wing Grievance Culture and the Iran Freakout

    Dan and Corey open the Libservative show by venting about political burnout and arguing that right‑wing grievance culture is as pervasive and destructive as left‑wing “woke” culture. They dissect coordinated posts from Zionist MAGA influencers claiming the IRGC endorsed Democrats, then summarize a 25‑page IRGC letter arguing “Death to America” targets U.S. elites, not citizens, urging Americans to vote out leaders and distance policy from Israel—something they say is being dishonestly spun into partisan propaganda. They mock Pete Hegseth’s “State of the Forces” rhetoric, including Project Meridian led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich and his “no fatties, no trannies” line, calling him unserious and the Iran war unpopular and unwinnable. They also discuss Trump’s UN threats toward Iran, ICC attacks, Mark Levin/Ben Shapiro war talk, the overblown backlash to an A24 Chris Hansen movie, and U.S. political hypocrisy on war, the economy, and messaging.

  • The Midterms Are Fake and Gay

    Mask-Optional Lesbian Bar Meltdown & Michigan’s ‘Dangerous’ Senate Ads

    Dan Griffin, Corey Walsh, and Bell “the Bodysnatcher” banter about cocktails, quitting vaping, and a short episode before diving into a Boston Globe story about Last Stitch/Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts that made Saturday nights mask-optional after requiring KN95/N95s, sparking hundreds of furious comments accusing the bar of ableism/eugenics and triggering chaotic community meetings, Zoom pile-ons, and financial crisis details like unpaid rent and a $50,000 loan. They use the episode to mock “intersectionality eating itself,” argue woke activism becomes exclusionary, and say it distracts from real issues. The show then shifts to Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed vs. Mike Rogers Senate race, praising El-Sayed’s messaging on “capitalism vs corporatism” while criticizing his track record, and laughing at attack ads linking him to 9/11 and calling him “dangerous,” plus Rogers’ ad framing El-Sayed as anti-football and “crazy.”

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "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.

    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.

    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.
