Dan and Corey host Libservative, riffing on surveillance and whether Orwell would be laughing or crying, starting with The Atlantic’s allegations that FBI Director Kash Patel gets so drunk meetings are rescheduled and he couldn’t answer a door without SWAT gear, then playing a booze-themed clip and mocking his Maria Bartiromo defense while noting he’s suing The Atlantic. They break down Palantir’s “Technological Republic” points, calling it soft-nationalist, hinting at “some cultures are better” eugenics vibes, pushing Silicon Valley into violent-crime “solutions” that feel like AI-enabled surveillance, and complaining it asks the public not to scrutinize leaders. They cover a Florida student arrested over a “drop some bond bonds” joke about Netanyahu, then slam Trump for praising and seeking a “clean” FISA 702 extension, explaining incidental collection/backdoor searches and quoting his willingness to “risk” citizens’ rights for security.
