    094: Who the Hell is Stephen Miller?

    At just 40 years old, Stephen Miller has cemented himself as the most influential policy mind and speechwriter of the MAGA era. Aside from Steve Bannon — and Trump himself — few figures have done more to define what MAGA means in practice. But influence is only part of the story. Miller is also one of the most polarizing figures in American politics. He has spent much of his career focused on restricting immigration, relentlessly pursuing those ideological efforts with striking intensity. To critics, that focus reflects a broader ideological project with profound consequences. In this episode, Posting Through It is joined by two people who knew Miller before he became a national figure: author and intellectual Peter Laufer, and Katie McHugh, the former Breitbart News writer who later released emails from Miller that referenced white nationalist material. They join Jared and Mike in helping trace how Miller rose to power—and what his trajectory reveals about the movement he helped shape.

    093: Noem Family Dog Has Seen Some Things [Preview]

    Jared comes back from a nice rest to find Mike playing the role of Ian Miles Cheong, helping him “Catch Up” on all the news that matters. “No Kings” blew out CPAC in terms of social media engagement, but it’s hard to know why — with poor women expected to have babies, Michael Knowles positioned as a symbol of machismo, and Josh Hammer crying about Tucker Carlson. The hosts then learn about Lindsey Graham’s “princess scepter” before moving on to Byron Noem’s big ol’ balloon boobs. The Noem family dog has seen them — have you? Finally, Jared and Mike take a look at Usha Vance and her totally normal and romantic marriage. “Posting Through It” returns—and we’re out on these streets, burning a million quid.

    092: The Dark, Horny World of The Daily Wire’s 'Lady Ballers' [UNLOCKED]

    This episode was originally released to Patreon subscribers on Mar. 12, 2026. Jared is on vacation, so everyone is getting it in the main feed this week!  ~~ Mike and Jared took a break from Iran War coverage to look back on "Lady Ballers": a feature-length film The Daily Wire released in 2023, at the height of MAGA's efforts to stoke an anti-transgender moral panic over women's sports. The guys reexamine the movie as an artifact that helped deliver the MAGA movement we see in 2026 and an example of conservatives' efforts at counter-programming against a dominant liberal culture. We've never tried an episode like this before. Here at Posting Through It headquarters, we're curious what people will think. But we never forget the sage wisdom of Coach Rob: "Winners are just losers who win." Jared's album recommendation: PUP, Morbid Stuff, 2019

    091: Whole World's Gone to Slop feat. Hannah Gais [Preview]

    Things are getting stupid out there, thanks to Web3 — the grift-crazy era of crypto and the A.I. slop. Our friend Hannah Gais joins the show to talk about her experience at a Polymarket pop-up bar in Washington, D.C., where people were encouraged to drain their wallets betting on the news and shrug off the possibility that our government is engaging in insider betting on the platform.  We also discuss the death of Sora, OpenAI’s video platform, and what that says about the field. Jared, Mike, and Hannah then struggle to make sense of the influx of videos focused on A.I. fruits cheating on one another — and stage their own play inspired by the genre. Come for the slop; stay for check-ins on two of the greatest freaks of the era: Forgiato Blow and Nick O’Neil.

    090: What Are the Odds? feat. Danny Funt

    If you’re alive in America today, you’ve seen the ads — on TV, at bus stops, and on your phone. We have a gambling problem in this country, and it’s getting worse by the minute. With a rapid, billion-dollar boom in sports betting already underway, we now have to reckon with the next phase of this trend: betting on news events. Journalist and author Danny Funt joins Posting Through It for a conversation about online gambling at a time where the culture around it is tightening its grip on everyday life, mutating into something that goes beyond prototypical American capitalism and imposes consequences that affect us all.

    089: Rest in Piss, Infowars and The Daily Stormer [Preview]

    Posting Through It says farewell to two of the worst websites to have ever existed: The Daily Stormer and Infowars.  Andrew Anglin and Alex Jones have claimed their respective demises before, but something feels markedly different this time. Both are facing declining revenue and mounting debts from lawsuits and dwindling web traffic. Meanwhile, the MAGA movement that once supported them has largely moved on—absorbing their tactics, their bits, and their bigotry.  Join Jared and Mike for a trip down memory lane with two of the worst characters from the earliest days of MAGA as they simultaneously (and finally) bid adieu.

    088: Why the Right Struggles Against Antisemitism feat. Art Levine

    MAGA is at an existential crossroads right now. If that sounds strange to you, you haven’t paid much attention to the movement’s struggles with antisemitism, which exploded after the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a college speaking event last September. Our guest, investigative reporter and author Art Levine, recently covered the GOP’s crisis with antisemitism in the Washington Spectator. It’s arguably the biggest issue facing the conservative movement today, and what happens next may determine their future—and ours. Link for Art Levine: Washington Spectator: Inside the MAGA Meltdown Over Antisemitism "Mental Health, Inc.: How Corruption, Lax Oversight and Failed Reforms Endanger Our Most Vulnerable Citizens" Links for us: Join us in Washington, DC, for the release of Mike's first book, "Strange People on the Hill": Politics & Prose, April 11 @ 5pm (Free) Transition Music: "Swaying Palms" by High Tides
