The guys weren't totally convinced.If we're to believe Benny, he might just be the straightest man in Washington, DC.
A year after a bullet to the throat killed Charlie Kirk, the TPUSA founder is less a flesh-and-blood person who died on a college campus in Utah than a symbol people fight over. For some, Kirk is the embodiment of patriotism and the threat of left-wing violence. For others, he's a racist podcaster the White House tried to force the country to mourn. For others still, he's the face of pure nihilism — grafted onto Superbad, Kool-Aid pineapple reveals, dancing potatoes, and countless brain-rotting memes.Jared and Mike bring in Juliet Jeske, Abner Hauge, Haley Orion, Will Sommer, Charles Star, Mike's 13-year-old son en route to a sleepover, and Madeline Peltz to report out and make sense of everything that's happened to the country since Kirk died. What they find: a country where Kirk's ideology reigns supreme, the vibes are terrible, and nobody seems to like it.Together, unbroken, we'll make heaven known.Links:Juliet Jeske (Decoding Fox News)Abner Hauge (Left Coast Right Watch)Haley Orion (Arizona Right Watch)Will Sommer (False Flag, The Bulwark)Charles Star (No Homework)Madeline Peltz (Number Two Pencil)
Sign up for our Patreon to listen to premium episodes: patreon.com/postingthroughit~~~Milo Yiannopoulos emerged during the alt-right's rise before Trump's 2016 win and went on to be arguably the movement's most famous—or infamous—influencer. A standout in a conservative MAGA space for his flamboyant dress and outspoken enthusiasm for gay sex, Yiannopoulos became a star of Steve Bannon's Breitbart News and helped drive the misogynist harassment campaign Gamergate before leading a notorious troll storm against Black comic Leslie Jones. He elicited protests on his "Dangerous Faggot" tour and landed a massive book deal before his comments about adults having sex with minors sent his trajectory in a star-crossed direction involving Kanye West collaborations, turning "straight," and being sent back to England at the hands of a brutal ICE agency he once championed.Jared and Mike's guest for this episode is Bobby Silverman, returning after previous Who the Hell episodes: Tim Pool, Dave Portnoy, and Michael Tracey. Bob interviewed Milo during the height of his celebrity, and together the three trace his path from his English upbringing to his recent deportation at the hands of frenemy Laura Loomer. So enjoy the limelight while you're in it — because one day you're America's bad boy, and the next you sink to the bottom of the sea, like a sodomy stone.Transition Music: "Never Outnumbered" by Shaolin Punk
We're back with another installment in our acclaimed "Who the Hell?" biographical series, this time turning our attention to Jake Lang: a January 6th insurrectionist turned self-styled provocateur who has built a career out of peddling hate against Muslims, Black people, Jews, women, and any other minority group he thinks he can hurt with open expressions of bigotry. Jared and Mike are joined by photojournalist Carrie Schreck, who has had multiple run-ins with Lang over the years, to trace his path from J6 "political prisoner" to his current gig manufacturing what PTI has dubbed "confrontation porn" — a genre built on shocking people face-to-face with blunt expressions of bigotry for clout and cash. This episode also includes a reported package from Jared, who traveled to Minneapolis on Aug. 22 to witness Lang's most recent stunt, where Lang found himself on the wrong end of the law... and Spider-Man's fist.Every Spider-Man villain, from Electro to Rhino, has an origin story. Jake Lang's starts on J6.Links for Carrie:Photography Portfolio (https://www.carrieschreck.com)Instagram (@rehabforcandy)Transition Music: "Embrace the Bomb" by Body Double(Special thanks to videographer Ford Fischer for allowing us to use audio from his footage in this episode.

Subscribe to our Patreon to listen to premium episodes: patreon.com/postingthroughit---Author and researcher Madeline Peltz joins Jared and Mike for a jam-packed creamium episode, featuring two big stories, two album recommendations, and a whole lot of romantic tension with Conceptual James.First, the trio dissects how MAGA took the horrors of the Lindsay Clancy case and turned it into a rallying cry to disempower and humiliate women. A shock to no one, Jack Posobiec is at the center of it, calling for an end to "toxic feminism" — but Matt Walsh, TPUSA, and Fresh and Fit are in there too. The result is a propaganda campaign that's as uncomfortable as the case itself.Next, Jared takes us to school on "Data Republican," a disabled, Salt Lake City-based MAGA star who is now working for the deep state. She seems to like James Lindsay a lot, and her involvement in a botched leaking effort has produced one of the most awkwardly written essays in the history of that right-wing media.So tune in for an episode that's sure to leave you feeling chopped, screwed, and pining for Taliban rule.

This episode was originally released to Patreon subscribers on Aug. 6, 2026. Jared is traveling to Minneapolis this weekend to cover a story for the show, so we're sharing this on the main feed.---The promo material for Dinesh D'Souza's 2022 film "2000 Mules" left out one key detail: the election security expert it hinges its core claims on believes in teleportation. Four years after D'Souza released his thoroughly debunked election-fraud exposé, the same people behind it are gearing up to release new material ahead of the 2026 midterms. Jared and Mike revisit the 2022 film to understand how it convinced a generation of Republicans that the 2020 election was stolen.Posting Through It finds "2000 Mules" looking and sounding more incoherent than ever — a film that conjures an entire conspiracy out of nothing, then pads it out with conservative media psychobabble. And somehow, still, no one has reckoned with the fact that Gregg Phillips, of True the Vote fame, sincerely believes he was involuntary teleported on at least two separate occasions....54,000 mules? What are we gonna do with all of those?
Listen to premium episodes on Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit--Cambridge Professor Jason Arday was a Black scholar with a history of exaggerating events from his past and a plagiarizing in his work. He recently died amid the fallout of a media frenzy ignited by self-described "race realist" Nathan Cofnas. Mike and Jared discuss Arday's tragic story by examining the anti-woke media personalities like Jesse Singal, who legitimized a racist's outrage campaign against Arday in the name of reporting on the excesses of "wokeness."But first, your hosts review Candace Owens' "great debate" with a TPUSA-adjacent misogynist over whether Tyler Robinson actually killed Charlie Kirk. Spoiler: If the debate was an indication, TPUSA is in a heap of trouble.
Tim Pool, the 40-year-old YouTuber who calls himself a "moderate," stormed off Jubilee's Youtube debate show "Surrounded" after someone called him a grifter, illustrating an increasingly evident truth about the modern MAGA movement: they may still have power, but America doesn't respect them anymore.Bobby Silverman, Posting Through It's unofficial NYC and sports correspondent, returns to the show to lend his expertise on Pool. But before the guys talk about the aging "moderate" who debates like an eight year old, they break down how MAGA has spent the summer trying to ensnare the WNBA in its long-running "culture war" programming, in which they've tapped Enes Kanter to serve as a bludgeon in their war against transgender people.Never let them see you sweat. Especially when you're sweating into a beanie.Transition Music: “In the Shadows” by Stellarator
