Posobiec Acknowledges the Break: Young Men Are Softening

At 21:05 · chapter starts 19:00

The conversation turns more candid when Herndon asks Posobiec directly whether Trump has lost something with young men. Posobiec doesn't flinch: 'I hear it all the time.' He says he communicates this feedback directly to White House contacts — that young men want more domestic focus and less foreign entanglement, and that gas prices and the Epstein files have created real friction in a relationship that was once Trump's greatest strength. He acknowledges that inflation has hit a record high relative to the Biden years and frames the gas price increase as the explicit cost of removing Iran as a global threat — a trade-off he thinks the president is betting will look better once the conflict winds down. But he's honest about the uncertainty: whether that bet pays off before the midterms is an open question. His reading of the UFC event is that it's not just a party — it's a political signal that the White House knows the connection needs repair and is taking concrete steps to rebuild it.

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
