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.

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.

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.
