    157: Crybaby Olympics [Preview]

    Join our Patreon to listen to premium episodes: patreon.com/postingthroughit --- The right bit down hard on a big, firm TRUTH NUKE last week, and (word to Mike’s team of gastroenterologists) it isn’t going down easy. Following her proverbial leader, Laura Loomer, Katie Miller has taken her beloved, culture-moving podcast off the air. Jared and Mike pour one out for a fellow podcast that gave them so much easy content. If one podcast had to take a dirt nap, why did it have to be the one that gave us (Kash Patel voice)... Landman? Then the PTI hosts go through the MAGA meltdown over the “I’ve Had It” podcast and Dave Chappelle’s standup comedy set, both of which got laughs out of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Matt Walsh, Jack Posobiec, Erika Kirk, Andy Ngo and others all join in, crying and beating their chests about how awful and violent the left is. Who has been hurt the most? Who has suffered most in an unfair world? Who is stuck playing a game whose rules were written by sadistic, blue-haired antifa of every imaginable gender? The wheels on the bus go wah wah wah, all the way to Olympic gold!

    156: LOCK THEM UP feat. Charles Star

    You hear it, folks. They’re saying it more and more. They’re saying “Lock them up.” Ah, such a beautiful little phrase, isn’t it? Lock them up.  On this episode, Posting Through It is joined by Charles Star, a New York attorney and host of the No Homework podcast. After hearing the call to lawyer up, Jared and Mike did it. The gang looks at what Stephen Miller’s promotion means for a White House that now has to deal with a Democratic Congress. They go through Laura Loomer’s tearful turn on the Christian nationalists, Harmeet Dhillon’s exit from the Civil Rights Division, and the sudden resignation of the Florida U.S. attorney leading Trump’s investigation of the people who investigated him. They also cover Andy Ngo’s smear of the trans candidates who won on Tuesday, the election-denial movement’s failure to launch, and what Democratic subpoenas could actually mean for the people who carried out this administration’s agenda.

    155: MIDTERMS TRUTH NUKE [Preview]

    Join our Patreon to listen to premium episodes: patreon.com/postingthroughit --- All was quiet on the Western Front. The innocent little chuds were playing with their Anakin Skywalker dolls and daring each other to say “fascist.” Some were actually predicting a red wave. Then it happened. A giant flash of light burst in the distance. A gust of radioactive menace swept across the plains, eviscerating all in its path. Faces melted clean off. It was… the Truth Nuke. On this episode, Jared and Mike go through the right’s final pitches before the polls closed, from Matt Walsh’s end-of-civilization warnings to Nick Fuentes telling his followers to vote Democrat to speed up the death of the Trump GOP. Then they cover the meltdown that followed: the split over Fuentes deepened, Stephen Miller went silent, and Dave Smith yelled at Jack Posobiec. Join us for this episode, which also includes a very important prayer to Donald Trump. For 12 years, the polls have been very, very mean to him.

    154: Closing Time

    When the late Wesley Willis had a schizophrenic episode, he would refer to it as a “war hell ride.” Well, that’s what the GOP seems to be feeling right now. It’s last call before the midterms, and MAGA is stumbling toward the exit with a closing message that’s somehow darker, dumber, and more chaotic than any previous dark and dumb election they’ve participated in. Billionaire money is flowing into their coffers in record amounts, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Nothing has stuck for them, and everyone’s mad. On this episode, Jared and Mike break down the administration’s apparent groundwork for federal meddling: a $1 million election fraud bounty, the largest DOJ poll-watcher operation ever, and election deniers pushing for a “national emergency.” Then they dig into the GOP’s final pitch to voters. That includes naked bigotry from RFK Jr., Trump, and JD Vance; Haley Stevens’ stunning eleventh-hour endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers; the White House defending the honor of the Cheesecake Factory; Glenn Beck’s latest “color revolution” panic; and enough AI slop to make Wesley Willis cry in the afterlife.  So, without further delay: Rock over London. Rock on Chicago. Posting Through It. It’s the most trusted name in news. (Stay tuned for Part II of this episode on Thursday, after midterm results are in!)

    Support the show on Patreon and get access to premium episodes: Patreon.com/postingthroughit -- This episode features audio from our book event with Christopher Mathias at New York University on Oct. 28, 2026. The guys talk about the books Mike and Chris wrote before turning their attention to contemporary topics, including 2026 midterms, how the fight against fascism has changed in the second Trump Administration, and what ever became of the "antifa civil war" that was supposedly imminent in 2019. Thanks to everyone who came to hear our talk and hang out after!

    152: Who the Hell is Richard Hanania? feat. Christopher Mathias & Henry Burke

    From 2008 to 2012, Richard Hanania wrote under the name “Richard Hoste” for white nationalist websites, where he argued for forcibly sterilizing people with IQs under 90 and warned that “race mixing” was destroying the white gene pool. Then he went to law school, got a PhD, founded a think tank, and reinvented himself as an “anti-woke” pundit beloved by Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel and Vivek Ramaswamy. Now he’s a repentant Trump voter writing for the Boston Globe, being praised by liberals, and defending Jeffrey Epstein. What are we to make of a guy like this?  Jared and Mike are joined by Christopher Mathias, the reporter who unmasked Hanania’s alt-right past in 2023, and Henry Burke, a senior researcher at the Revolving Door Project who shared a mountain of research for this episode. Together they trace how Hanania was accepted by three political worlds in turn: the white nationalist fringe, the MAGA-adjacent tech right, and liberals hungry for MAGA converts.  (Richard Hanania answered some of our questions by email for this episode but not others.)

    151: Grok, Is This Le Pew? [Preview]

    Subscribe to our Patreon to listen to premium episodes: patreon.com/postingthroughit -- What are you scared of this Halloween? Michael Myers? Jack Torrance? Drake? The American right’s answer to that question is France. They have noticed what is happening there and they are scared and excited as hell. Jared and Mike dig into the wave of school blockades, Yellow Vest revival protests, and brutal police crackdowns sweeping France (and now spreading to Belgium, Italy, Greece, and beyond), and how MAGA influencers are already repurposing the footage, stripped of context and sometimes outright faked by AI, into an implausible story about scary leftists and immigrant chaos coming for the West next. Also in this episode: the DOJ digs through 50 years of Ilhan Omar’s life looking for a deportation pretext while the FBI rushes noncitizen voter-fraud cases ahead of Election Day. Trump and Vance roll out a $25 million snitch fund and dangle pardons for patriotic brain genius Nick Shirley. A brutal attack ad against Ohio’s Amy Acton drags her childhood sexual abuse into the governor’s race, and right-wing influencers immediately accuse her of lying about it. We are forming like Voltron on this Creamium episode of PTI, out to destroy every copy of the Tempest we can find!

    150: The GOP is Libbity Bibbity Blowing It feat. Nikki McCann Ramírez

    The GOP is spending big enough on TV ads that you’d think they were in a strong position headed into the midterms. The opposite is true. They are lost in a sea of dogshit and running out of scapegoats to attack. To the average swing voter, they have now entered… the Libbity Bibbity Zone of the terminally insufferable. On this episode, Jared and Mike are joined by Nikki McCann Ramírez, political reporter at Rolling Stone and cohost of the American Friction podcast, to talk about MAGA’s scattershot closing argument: migrant caravans, anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-Muslim attacks, conspiracy theories about James Talarico, and whatever else they can pull out of their money-stuffed asses. They dig into the Trump/Vance road tour through red states, an administration drowning in cartoonish corruption and self-inflicted wounds, and leaked audio of Ken Paxton sounding worried about Texas. Plus: how realistic is a Democratic sweep of the House and the Senate, and if MAGA gets wiped out in November, what does the “post-MAGA” right look like. So look out for Mayhem.
