Break out your eggnog and seasonal lingerie because the boys from Posting Through It have your holy day covered. Jared and Mike tackle TPUSA’s AmericaFest, which featured Erika Kirk Freudian-slipping the word “grift,” Ben Shapiro firing shots at other influencers, and Nicki Minaj sliding down the chimney to praise Trump. A Posting Through It listener shares a dispatch from the scene of… what I guess you would call a James O’Keefe rave? The hosts then unwrap our main present, an interview hosted by Katie Miller, “a Labrador Retriever that recently learned to read.” Miller talks to Alexis Wilkins, and her prominently besocked boyfriend, the legendary lazy boy Kash Patel. Find out what New York Islanders superfan Kash is up to these days. (Hint: It ain’t work!)

With over four decades in show business, you might think that Bill Maher needs no introduction. But Posting Through Itcovers MAGA and the far right, and if you have perused politics-heavy corners of social media lately, you know that Maher has emerged as one of the most polarizing commentators of Trump’s second term. 

No longer beloved by liberals, Maher has hosted a bizarre rotation of MAGA friendly guests, including Kid Rock, RFK Jr. and Marjorie Taylor Greene. He also punches left on everything from vaccines to Gaza. 

Jared and Mike welcome comedian Will Weldon on for this three-hour Holiday spectacular. You will leave learning about everything from Maher’s psychedelic, short-lived Showtime show "Hard Knocks" to his alleged relationships with Los Angeles-area sex workers. 

Tune in and find out who is out on these streets rooting for the planes on 9/11!

Jared is in New York. Mike is in West Virginia. But no matter where you are in America, it’s easy to see that Trump and his MAGA movement are heading for some really, really, really dark shit. 

Following the gruesome murder of Rob Reiner, Trump decided to mock the director’s death and insinuate that his liberal politics caused it. The hosts frame Trump’s words in the context of a movement that has gotten increasingly scary and bleak in recent months–sort of like Hellraiser II. They wonder what it must be like inside Trump’s circle, using Susie Wiles’ revealing words as context. 

Finally, Jared and Mike discuss the rise and fall of “groypette” Cali Ryan, who chased an audience of incels only to discover that they sexualized and threatened her. Things are certainly getting morbid on the right. Let’s all hope they don’t take us down with them–on this premium feed episode of Posting Through It.

Angelo Carusone, a legendary observer of the conservative movement and the president of Media Matters for America, joins Mike and Jared to break down how Candace Owens has hijacked online discourse surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination and managed to drag MAGA media into a chaos spiral as 2025 comes to a close. Together, they explore where fractures in the MAGA movement might lead and whether spats of infighting can actually give rise to more sinister political force.

Worried about demons? This episode of Posting Through It might just save you.

Milo Yiannopoulos has publicly accused Benny Johnson of being gay and having encounters with boys at TPUSA Student Action Summit events — allegations he claims left Johnson's wife in tears. So what do we do with accusations like these? Jared and Mike explore how to handle damaging personal revelations about figures on the MAGA right.

The hosts also dig into other controversies, including the plane of Egyptians (Mike included, naturally) that Candace Owens believes was involved in Charlie Kirk's assassination. They examined efforts by Andy Ngo, Chris Rufo, and others to just stop the proverbial girls from fighting, as infighting has now overtaken any agenda MAGA previously thought they had.

It’s time to slide into your TPUSA-style FEMDOM shirt and take a tour of a movement in trash-fire mode in this creamium episode of Posting Through It.

Jared and Mike are joined by Asawin Suebsaeng, a senior political correspondent for Zeteo, to discuss Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the pro-Trump toadies who replaced news reporters at the Pentagon, and the Trump Administration's murder rampage of boaters in the Caribbean who they claim are trafficking narcotics. At the end, the hosts share their favorite music from 2025.

Jared and Mike start the episode by glazing Kash Patel, the objectively cool head of the FBI. Our wonderful boy has thrown racks of taxpayer KA$H on hockey games, hunting, golfing –you name it – all to impress his much younger, country singing QAnon girlfriend. (Trump, if you’re listening, please don’t fire him!) Then they take a look at Ian Miles Cheong and his epic crash-out. All the Trump guys on X have finally figured out that Cheong is living abroad and they’re simply not having it anymore. Finally, the guys take what everyone hopes will be the last look at Olivia Nuzzi and RFK Jr., following Ryan Lizza’s allegations that she violated journalistic ethics. 

It’s testosterone fueled. It's chock full of ketamine. It's living abroad in the UAE. It's this week's Posting Through It creamium episode.

Our appetizer this holiday is a dive into the latest "Red Scare" discourse after Dasha WhatsHerFace reflects on her recent wave of online backlash. Then we dust off the Olivia Nuzzi pop track “Jailbait” (yes, it exists) and admit it’s more fun than American Canto. For the main course, we look at the stranger corners of RFK Jr. gossip, courtesy of Ryan Lizza. For dessert, our pumpkin pie comes in the form of a purported multinational plot against Candace Owens — stay safe out there, ma’am!

Have a great holiday and please enjoy RFK Jr.’s bountiful harvest. Or don’t.

MAGA has gone global. What started as an American political movement has evolved into an international force, energizing radical-right groups across the world and creating networks that link European extremists directly to sitting members of the U.S. Congress. Heidi Beirich, one of the leading researchers on the radical right and co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE), joins us to explore how we got here and what the global landscape looks like now.

But first, the guys try to make sense of the increasingly bizarre vibes inside MAGA itself. Trump is suddenly praising Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, Marjorie Taylor Greene is rebranding using "woke" language, and no one seems to know what's happening anymore.

GPAHE Stories We Discussed:

• Alleged Jakarta Bomber Leaves Behind Digital Trail Worshiping Past Racist Attackers

• Active Club Chapters Growing Globally

• Europe’s White Nationalist Identitarian Movement Ramping Up Fundraising Efforts

• Mapping The Far Right: The Movement’s Conferences Illuminate Its Growing Transnational Networks

• How the International Far Right is Getting on Board With Trump’s Antifa Terrorist Designation
