About this episode

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
