    124: Can Anything Stop the Charlie Kirk Conspiracy Theories? feat. Brandy Zadrozny

    Preliminary hearings wrapped up last week for Tyler Robinson, the “old boy” accused of shooting and killing Charlie Kirk last September. Prosecutors presented their evidence, and while it certainly seemed compelling, a sizable portion of MAGA internet just isn't buying it. It’s likely they never will. Brandy Zadrozny, a senior enterprise reporter for MSNOW, was at the Utah courthouse during Robinson's preliminary hearings and spent time with the conspiracy theorists who can't let their doubts go. She joins Jared and Mike to walk through what the hearings actually showed, what the believers took away from them, and why the evidence didn't move the needle for people like Candace Owens. Join us for what is arguably the biggest story of the year for MAGA. TPUSA has been in damage-control mode for nine months trying to protect the organization and Erika Kirk, and it still seems like they're losing the battle.

    123: Lil Boosie Dumbazz [Preview]

    Subscribe to our Patreon to hear the full episode: patreon.com/postingthroughit ~~~ Has Russia poisoned Sen. Lindsey Graham with ricin? Why is Clavicular in Israel, and why did a rabbi give him an OpenAI necklace? Is Kash Patel threatening to arrest us for disliking his girlfriend's singing? Jared and Mike struggle to answer these questions and more in this jam-packed Creamium episode, sifting through the trash left behind by a busy news cycle. It culminates with the biggest mystery of all: what do Laura Loomer, Jacob Wohl, and rapper Lil Boosie Badazz have in common? Turns out Mr. Badazz paid $600,000 to far-right operatives Wohl and Jack Burkman to secure a presidential pardon from Trump that never materialized. Now Boosie is on social media demanding that Loomer, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, and others confirm whether they ever supported his case, as Wohl and Burkman claimed they did. We wish we could say the responses have been illuminating, but they have not. Bring a flashlight for this one. Or even a gun. Because “after dark, it's Jurassic Park.”

    122: Maine Feed Episode feat. Nathan Bernard

    Graham Platner, a progressive candidate for US Senate in Maine, managed to defy an array of scandals as he rose to become the frontrunner to take on thirty-year incumbent Sen. Susan Collins. But last week, after a former romantic partner credibly accused him of rape, Platner suspended his campaign and withdrew his candidacy — leaving his supporters heartbroken and the Democratic Party scrambling to find a replacement candidate. Journalist Nathan Bernard joins Jared and Mike to break down the collapse of Platner's campaign and what comes next for Democrats who have been desperately trying to unseat Collins without success. Bernard was on the ground from day five of Platner’s campaign. He walks through what Platner meant to Maine Democrats, why volunteers stuck around through earlier controversies, and how the mood darkened after a rape allegation ended his political aspirations. With Platner out, the question is whether an alternate candidate like Troy Jackson or Nirav Shah — or even Ms. Rachel — can consolidate support fast enough to make Collins "concerned" about her reelection.

    121: Twelve Angry Kirks [Preview]

    To access premium episodes, subscribe to our Patreon: https://patreon.com/PostingThroughIt ~~~ Preliminary hearings began this week in the case against Tyler Robinson: the 23-year-old man accused of murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a campus speaking event in September 2025. Jared and Mike break down the scenes at the courthouse, where a gaggle of Kirk's former employees and friends filled the gallery to watch prosecutors present their evidence against Robinson. Then they turn their attention to right-wing conspiracy theorists, who remain largely unconvinced that it was Robinson who pulled the trigger. Unlike Kirk, it seems like viral speculation about the forces behind his murder may never die. And despite TPUSA's efforts, they haven't been able to dissuading high-profile influencers like Candace Owens from just asking questions: Why didn't the bullet go all the way through Kirk's neck? Was it an inside job orchestrated by TPUSA staffers? Can we be sure Mossad wasn't involved? Or Egypt? What if Kirk is still alive and his death was staged?  But before that, Jared and Mike address the campaign-ending allegations against US Senate candidate Graham Platner, who was running to dethrone Sen. Susan Collins until a former romantic partner accused him of drunkenly raping her. They also discuss the surprise rally staged by Patriot Front in DC on the Fourth of July, where some participants may or may not have soiled their khakis. Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of alleged instances of sexual assault and rape.

    120: The MAGA Wanker Cometh feat. Madeline Peltz

    American patriotism just hit a 25-year low, and the country celebrated accordingly: a 56-year-old man we're calling the "MAGA Wanker" allegedly cranked it to some acrobats on a mostly empty field, and Michael Knowles spoke to a ten-year-old about the merits of burning women at the stake.  Researcher and reporter Madeline Peltz returns to Posting Through It to relive America's 250th birthday party and take stock of the MAGA movement as of July 2026. Mike, Jared, and Madeline trace how a bipartisan congressional commemoration curdled America's anniversary into a freakish spectacle — funded by dark money and PragerU-supplied educational materials. This episode also features on-the-ground guest reporting from photojournalist Dominic Gwinn. By now, you've probably heard that America's 250th birthday celebrations were a debacle. Now it's time to learn how bad it actually was. Hide your communist flags, folks. Storm's brewing.

    119: What We Know About the Prairieland 'Antifa' Trials [Preview]

    For access to the full episode, subscribe to our Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit --- Mike and Jared break down the recent sentencing in the Prairieland "antifa" trials, wherein 450 years were handed down across eight defendants who attended an anti-ICE protest outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, 2025. The guys walk through what happened — a noise demonstration, fireworks, graffiti, and Benjamin Song firing 11 shots from a wooded area, hitting a law enforcement officer, before his gun jammed. One defendant got 30 years for moving a box of zines after his wife's arrest. Another got 50 years for sitting in a nearby car. Prosecutors pointed to possession of anarchist literature, use of Signal, and wearing black as evidence of a terrorist conspiracy. Then there's Judge Reed O'Connor, a Federalist Society fixture who stated from the bench that he was imposing maximum sentences to send a message to people who share the defendants' ideology. O'Connor has become the go-to judge for far-right causes, including Elon Musk's dubious lawsuit against Media Matters. He's the man behind these sentences — an outcome that, predictably, delighted Andy Ngo. Links: PrairielandDefendants.com [This episode was recorded on June 28, 2026. Mike is traveling this week.]

    118: Greg Bovino Wants to Be Your President feat. Christopher Mathias

    Do you remember the small guy in a big, fashy-looking coat who oversaw ICE's invasion of Minneapolis — the operation that led to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti? His name is Gregory Bovino, and he wants to be your president. Acclaimed To Catch a Fascist author Christopher Mathias rejoins PTI this week. After a brief detour into the sentencing of antifascists in Texas, he joins Jared and Mike to paint a picture of Bovino: beyond standing just 5'4", the man is afflicted with a metastasized strain of MAGA, one fixated on "remigration" — that is, deporting upwards of a hundred million people. This year, he stepped down from commanding ICE and moved into new territory: cozying up to hardened white nationalists and meeting with extremists abroad. So dust off your VHS copy of "The Border" and join us as we get to the bottom of the most shocking truth of all: Bovino may look like he's from Long Island, but he's not!

    117: Gotta Have My 'Goyslop' [Preview]

    Listen to the full episode on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit --- Mike and Jared dig into the ADL's recent campaign against "goyslop": an antisemitic meme that now travels across social media with no context, delighting freaks of all kinds. Then they take stock of JD Vance’s life of ongoing humiliation after becoming the fall guy for the Iran War.  Kash Patel returns to PTI after he definitely, totally, for sure foiled that "UFC Freedom 250" domestic terrorism plot, and definitely did not “choke on his own smoke,” as some haters are saying. On June 14, a group of Christian extremist, TikTok-posting knuckleheads allegedly planned to fly explosive drones over the White House UFC arena and kill high-value targets with connections to Israel. But the plot unraveled when a 19-year-old Ohio co-conspirator's mom called the cops.  Consider yourself warned. PTI’s secretly designed brown goo will kill you.
