Iran War Update: Gas Goes Up, Missiles Go Boom, and Epstein Still Ain’t Dead (Probably) On the Libservative podcast, Corey hosts with Bell while Dan is away, covering the ongoing Iran war, rising gas prices, and political fallout. They criticize Trump golfing while authorizing a major Strategic Petroleum Reserve release, compare it to Biden’s 2022 release, and mock the recurring “short-term pain for long-term gain” messaging. They argue the U.S. is spending about $1B/day firing expensive missiles at cheap drones, warn the conflict could drag on (with a memo preparing through September 2026), and say the war is destabilizing alliances, including pulling Patriot/THAAD systems from South Korea. They discuss claims a U.S. tomahawk hit a school, broader history of U.S.-Iran tensions, cluster munitions hypocrisy, job losses and higher unemployment, and new Epstein guard cover-up allegations, then touch on special-election “blue wave” chatter and Trump targeting Thomas Massie. 00:00 Welcome to Libservative 01:12 Show topics and tech issues 03:01 Trump golfing and war optics 04:00 Oil reserves and gas prices 07:07 Short term pain montage 08:51 Drone math and war costs 11:58 Public support and goalposts 13:15 Religion and the war lens 17:49 School strike and deniability 21:35 How we got here since 1954 26:43 Regime change and mission creep 28:50 Cluster bombs and hypocrisy 30:11 Patriot systems and global spillover 37:05 THAAD moved from Korea to Israel 38:46 Two state solution and blowback fears 42:44 War of attrition and economic pain 45:18 Diplomacy bombed and summer outlook 47:19 Unit Party Blue Wave 48:55 War Spending Inflation 49:45 Silver Demand Explained 50:40 War Powers Backroom Deals 52:12 DHS Shutdown Surveillance 55:33 Draft Fears Kids Recruiters 59:20 Bases Alliances Munitions 01:03:03 Money Printing Homefront 01:06:23 Subsidies Supply Demand 01:12:39 MAGA No New Wars 01:14:16 Massey Ana Third Way 01:20:12 Jobs Report Economy Data 01:25:49 Epstein Guard Coverup 01:28:31 Midterms Special Elections 01:37:17 Final Thoughts Sign Off
What this episode covers
With Dan ditching to Florida, Corey and Bell run the Libservative podcast from the UAE, railing at the ongoing Iran war, Trump golfing, and gas prices jumping (about 64 cents nationally) while Trump opens reserves—after Republicans blasted Biden for doing it. They argue the U.S. is firing million-dollar missiles at $20k drones, burning roughly a billion dollars a day, and heading toward a long attrition war (Pentagon memos reportedly prepping through Sept 2026), with public support low. They detour into U.S.-UK oil history in Iran, “short-term pain” propaganda, cluster bomb hypocrisy, Patriot/THAAD systems being shifted from South Korea, and fears Iran could target the economy and banks. They cover weak jobs numbers (92,000 lost; unemployment 4.4%), resurfacing Epstein guard coverup questions, and special-election signs of a potential “blue wave,” plus Trump attacking Thomas Massie.
