Why Are Politicians So Horny?
Episode 247
Friday, 17 April, 2026
Gas at $4+, Horny Congress, and Melania’s Epstein Panic: Libservative Goes Off the Rails Dan and Corey riff on rising gas and diesel prices, arguing oil is a global commodity and warning that shortages and compounding inflation will make fuel and food more expensive, especially as fertilizer supplies dry up, hurting small farmers while big, subsidized agribusiness absorbs costs. They mock Trump’s talk of “price gouging,” criticize the Iran conflict for straining the global economy and NATO relations, and say even ending it now wouldn’t quickly normalize oil or fertilizer markets. The show detours into claims of congressional sexual misconduct involving Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales, plus a taxpayer-funded congressional settlement slush fund and bipartisan votes against releasing names. They also discuss Melania Trump’s statement denying Epstein ties, Trump approval sliding with non-college white voters, a parody Alex Jones “low IQ” skit, California’s “Stop Nick Shirley” bill concerns, Ticketmaster/Live Nation monopoly issues, and Pete Hegseth quoting a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction. 00:00 Cold Open and Banter 01:37 Gas Prices and Inflation Talk 02:30 Oil Is a Global Market 04:10 Fertilizer Shortage and Price Gouging 07:12 Farm Subsidies and Food Costs 09:30 War Fallout and NATO Tensions 12:17 Apple Maps and Lebanon Ceasefire 15:06 Congress Sex Scandals 19:27 Why Politicians Are Horny 27:40 Melania Epstein Statement 38:53 Trump War Spin and Polling Slide 42:36 Trump Economy Slide 43:18 Iran War Backlash 45:27 Satire Meets Reality 47:47 Tucker Bible Speculation 48:31 Alex Jones Low IQ Skit 55:49 Horny Congress Slush Fund 59:30 Ticketmaster Monopoly Rant 01:00:47 Stop Nick Shirley Act 01:07:13 Weaponized Justice Cycle 01:14:25 Hegseth Pulp Fiction Prayer 01:21:51 Paramedics Struck in Lebanon 01:24:39 Wrap Up and Plugs
