Is Orwell Laughing or Crying Right Now?

Kash Patel’s Alleged Bender, Palantir’s ‘Manifesto,’ and Trump’s FISA Flip: Is Orwell Laughing or Crying?

Dan and Corey host Libservative, joking about surveillance and “Orwellian” politics while discussing an Atlantic report alleging FBI Director Kash Patel is so drunk meetings are rescheduled and SWAT equipment was needed to reach him; Patel denies the claims on Maria Bartiromo and threatens to sue the Atlantic. They pivot to Palantir’s “Technological Republic” points, criticizing what they read as soft nationalism, cultural hierarchy, and a push for Silicon Valley-led crime solutions that normalize AI surveillance, plus a claim that scrutiny drives “good people” out of government. They also cover an FIU student arrested after a group-chat message referencing Netanyahu “drop some bond bonds,” and argue it reflects censorship and overreach. Finally, they note Trump once opposed FISA but now urges a “clean” Section 702 extension, saying he’ll risk citizens’ rights for security.
