Libservative

Disavowal Theater, Firing Squad "Honor," and Mike Rogers’ Contractor Cash-GrabDan Griffin and Corey Walsh open a late, chaotic Libservative episode after watching the second Michigan Senate debate between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, arguing both candidates push similar protectionist economics and default “throw more money at it” fixes (including Michigan’s low reading scores despite about $20,000 per student). They cover Katie Zakaria’s brief stint as Trump press secretary, then discuss Trump and Pete Hegseth supporting a firing-squad execution for Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, citing Ken Klippenstein’s reporting that it grants an “honorable” soldier’s death and noting claims the military environment discourages dissent. The hosts highlight a staged town-hall confrontation where Tommy Tepel pressures El-Sayed to “disavow” the Muslim Brotherhood, and cite reporting alleging dark-money spending opposing El-Sayed. They also play and critique an ad attacking Ohio candidate Amy Acton using her estranged mother, review Drop Site reporting on Mike Rogers’ and his wife’s ties to Aegis defense contracts during his intelligence chairmanship, discuss Israeli settlers attacking journalist Heidi Levine in the West Bank, react to Trump and Netanyahu praising each other and warning about Iran, show a Mark Levin Israel monologue urging Americans to vote, and end with a Piers Morgan clip featuring Indiana county council candidate Jamie West denying pre-interview beers and plug their show links.00:00 Show Kickoff Banter02:11 Debate Night Setup03:26 Episode Rundown05:00 Trump Press Secretary Chaos10:32 Flock Cameras Side Note10:58 Firing Squad Controversy19:45 Michigan Senate Debate Takeaways23:58 Taxes Fair Share Debate25:31 Michigan Schools Funding Fight30:38 Punishing Bad Governance37:28 Town Hall Disavow Trap44:42 Political Ads Going Off Rails46:45 Vivek Ad Hits Below Belt49:28 Acton Family Smear52:11 Vivek Ad Fallout53:57 Rogers Rise Background58:41 Aegis Contracts Scandals01:01:07 Benghazi Libya Questions01:03:17 Revolving Door Cash01:06:43 Opioids To Defense01:11:42 Trump Bibi Endorsement01:18:41 West Bank Press Attack01:24:55 Mark Levin Holy Land01:30:35 Drunk Candidate Clip01:36:05 Wrap Up And Plugs

The Smolletification of Politics: AI Phone Calls, Epstein Shirts, and a Drunk County CandidateDan Griffin and Corey Walsh argue that politics and media now work backward from conclusions, using a false rumor that Texas Senate candidate James Talarico had checked out of an Ohio mental health facility—based on an unverified (and allegedly AI) phone call—as their main example, noting how influencers and even Ken Paxton’s camp amplified it without retracting. They react to a video of a woman in a “Release the Epstein files” shirt getting swarmed at a Trump rally, calling it cultish and tied to outsourcing opinions to online accounts. The episode also covers Paxton promoting the Right Insight app to track whether contacts have voted, a viral clip of Indiana county-council candidate Jamie West appearing drunk while saying she’d “fire all Republicans,” claims of DOJ weaponization around Ilhan Omar, criticism of Trump’s new press secretary’s halting briefing style, and Steven Crowder threatening a lawsuit over a “Change My Mind” segment title.00:00 Welcome to Libservative01:12 Smolletification Theme02:17 Talarico Disappearance Rumor03:54 AI Phone Call Fallout06:26 Why People Believe Lies08:38 Epstein Files Rally Attack12:35 Cult Politics and 198415:59 Both Sides Misinformation18:59 Burden of Proof Flip38:22 Goalposts and October Surprise42:05 Paxton Voter Tracking App45:30 Next Candidate Tease45:52 Unpopular Decision Question48:04 Drunk Candidate Goes Viral51:18 Ilhan Omar Raid Talk57:00 Dirty Politics Smear Games01:00:53 Press Secretary Roast01:04:07 Kayleigh Briefing Clip01:08:06 Trump Picks Hotter Staff01:12:59 Ukraine Oil Chessboard01:16:19 Crowder Lawsuit Rant01:21:41 Punch In The Face Theory01:24:07 Wrap Up And Plugs

El-Sayed vs. Rogers: Empty Suit, Muslim Brotherhood, and the Great Debate BeatdownDan, Corey, and Bell host a reaction show to the Michigan Senate debate between Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and former Congressman/former FBI agent Mike Rogers, calling it extremely lopsided and citing a WOOD TV poll showing viewers heavily favored El-Sayed. They argue Rogers looked physically unprepared, relied on “Muslim Brotherhood” attacks, and struggled defending his record, while El-Sayed effectively focused on affordability and foreign policy, though they criticize his pro-government solutions and Medicare for All. They discuss polling averages showing El-Sayed leading, fact-check claims about Rogers’ votes, surveillance/privacy comments attributed to Rogers, and allegations of oil and gas money backing him. They review controversy around El-Sayed’s mother’s work for a charity later sanctioned for alleged terror financing, concluding she was not charged. The episode veers into broader culture-war topics, including Zohran Mamdani attacks, Laura Loomer’s credit-card-reader tweet, Zach Bryan’s “Free Palestine” shirt crowd record, a DOJ antisemitism tour promo, Trump comments about Iran, and a viral clip of Vivek Ramaswamy nearly dropping a child.00:00 Welcome and Setup01:20 Debate Blowout Reactions04:10 Polling and Odds Check06:44 Rogers Record Under Fire10:06 Surveillance and Privacy Quote11:34 Domestic Policy Clash15:18 Foreign Policy Dominance18:48 October 7 Claims Fallout23:21 Muslim Brotherhood Smear Fact Check26:46 Wrap Up and Donor Money34:48 Public Execution Tangent41:30 Laura Loomer DMV Flag Panic45:21 Mamdani Damned Either Way47:30 Vivek Kid Drop Clip48:08 Vivek Pickup Fiasco49:09 NPC Crowd Roast50:39 Michigan Debate Breakdown52:41 Five Thousand Dollar Inflation55:56 Insider Trading Bill Games59:03 Independent Politics Therapy01:01:08 Zach Bryan Palestine Shirt01:09:13 Trump Iran Quote Context01:13:06 Road Trip Small Town Reality01:17:29 DOJ Antisemitism Tour01:22:43 Heaven Coma Testimony01:27:58 Wrap Up And Plugs

No Fatties, No Trannies, Justice Warriors: Right‑Wing Grievance Culture and the Iran FreakoutDan 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.00:00 Welcome to Libservative01:44 Politics Burnout Check03:41 Grievance Culture Theme04:48 IRGC Letter Talking Points08:19 What the Letter Says15:53 Death to America Explained20:46 Truth as Propaganda21:46 Hegseth State of Forces24:34 Project Meridian Panel30:44 No Woke Military Rant33:30 Primetime Movie Backlash39:40 Chris Hansen Interview Clip42:49 Why Predator TV Works45:25 Movie Habits and Grievance Hype46:35 Trump Props and Iran Threats50:30 UN Walkouts and ICC Drama55:25 War Criminal Optics Debate57:49 Ben Shapiro Iran Bomb Talk59:34 Inflation Myths and Bubble Pop01:02:54 Trump Inc and Insider Trading01:08:02 Prison Reform Smears in Ads01:12:48 Communism Islam Panic Logic01:18:36 Fetterman Vote and Trump Payout01:22:48 Baby Oil Bit and Sign Off

Mask-Optional Lesbian Bar Meltdown & Michigan’s ‘Dangerous’ Senate AdsDan 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.”00:00 Show Intro and Banter01:17 Manhattan Cocktail Talk03:11 Massachusetts Mask Bar Story06:37 Reading the Viral Article13:50 Community Meeting Meltdown20:08 Mask Optional Night Fallout33:34 Bell Reacts to the Story37:40 Pivot to Michigan Senate Race46:05 Abdul on Capitalism Clip47:36 Corporatism and Wage Debate49:47 Minimum Wage Reality Check51:40 Tipping Culture Debate53:36 Cronyism and Private Equity01:00:56 Why Private Equity Wins01:03:53 Abdul Ad Breakdown01:08:19 9/11 Attack Ad Fallout01:16:59 Dangerously Radical Montage01:20:46 Mike Rogers Common Sense01:31:23 Uniparty and Inflation Rant01:36:39 Wrap Up and Plugs
