The notorious conspiracy website Infowars made its final broadcast on April 30, 2026 and hours later, the site went dark. Jared, Mike and this week's guest, Dan Friesen, co-host of the legendary and recently retired podcast Knowledge Fight, get together to talk about the closure of Infowars and the future of its founder, Alex Jones. 
The guys review the final hours of Infowars' time on the air and reflect on the downfall of Jones and his media empire. How did this prolific kingmaker and agenda-setter in far-right media become an afterthought?
Full warning: This is a real "upper decker" of an episode.

Jared and Mike dig into reports of chaos at The Daily Wire after Candace Owens — once one of its top stars — claimed the company enacted a “bloodbath” of layoffs affecting as much as 60% of its staff. (The Daily Wire confirmed the layoffs but denied they were as extensive as Owens claimed.) What followed was an unusual weekend of silence from Ben Shapiro and goat lover Matt Walsh. 
The guys trace the rise of the conservative media empire from its LA roots and Facebook dominance to its overextended streaming ambitions, “anti-woke” consumer products, and increasingly shaky position inside the MAGA movement. Along the way, they examine how The Daily Wire’s obsession with culture war content, Israel, and respectability politics left it out of step with the audience it helped create. 
Plus: Jared and Mike toast Eoin Higgins for his recent legal success against free speech warrior Matt Taibbi and say farewell to Laura Sennett of One People’s Project, who recently died. May she rest in power.

The coalition of activists known as “Make America Healthy Again,” or MAHA, has emerged as a legitimate force in American politics and it’s hardly a given that they will remain aligned with President Trump and the Republican Party. 
Researcher and reporter Madeline Peltz returns to Posting Through It to brief us on the MAHA movement and their mission–weighing in on how his diverse group can theoretically be pulled away from the GOP. 
Madeline, Mike and Jared also analyze the “Netflix Monsters series-coded” life of MAHA’s figurehead, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The DMT, steroids and heroin-riddled political scion once severed off the penis of a raccoon to study it later. 
It’s obviously a very impressive trick, but what does it say about his capacity to release his bountiful harvest all over the health of your loved ones?

Mike and Jared review an unusually eventful White House Correspondents' Dinner, which abruptly ended after a man sprinted past a security checkpoint in hopes of finding and killing the man he saw as a "pedophile, rapist, and traitor": President Donald Trump. Then, they also check in on MAGA's defamatory claims that the Southern Poverty Law Center planned the deadly Unite the Right white supremacist gathering -- which has left the extremists who actually planned it befuddled.

For the 100th episode of Posting Through It , Jared and Mike welcome back NYC correspondent Bobby Silverman to discuss a major investigation he co-bylined at WIRED magazine looking at how powerful individuals and companies are building their own surveillance networks — effectively creating their own private “deep states.”
Bobby's story zeroes in on one such "panopticon," built around businesses tied to James Dolan, including Madison Square Garden. In one telling example, MSG allegedly tracked the movements of a trans woman whose presence they flagged as a concern. After that, the guys look at what might be next for a handful of prominent MAGA Internet personalities: Clavicular, Tim Pool, Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, and Dave Portnoy.
