148: The Secret Lives of MAGA Wives feat. Madeline Peltz

<p>Picture it: You are in a secluded strip of fancy-pants military housing. In the distance, a Bose stereo pumps out an EDM remix of “Ring of Fire.” A beleaguered Benihana chef squirts sake into Doug Burgum’s wiggling, groaning, drunken mouth. A mechanical bull launches an unattended seven-year-old boy into the air, his landing spot out of sight. You are now in Katie Miller’s domain, partying with the least popular and most cruel administration in recent memory.</p><p>On this episode, Jared and Mike welcome <strong>Madeline Peltz</strong>, an independent journalist who covers right-wing media, to dig into Vanity Fair’s portrait of Katie Miller as MAGA Washington’s deeply hated hostess. Madeline and the boys also run through a cast of other unsavory MAGA characters, including Andrew Tate, who allegedly possessed eel porn; “Dad Chat” daddy Joshua Lisec, who won’t let Madeline into his event; Megyn Kelly, who wants you to know how ugly sexual assault victims are; and Michael Tracey (again), who went to Cornell to shout at people while dressed like sentient body odor.</p><p>So, throw your tap water in the garbage like Michael Tracey’s request for time. There are no “brokies” on Posting Through It. <em>We are now en route to white boy heaven.</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links for Madeline:</strong></p><p>Pre-order &quot;GOOD GIRLS AND ALPHA MALES&quot;: <a href="https://www.sourcebooks.com/9781464255403-good-girls-and-alpha-males-hc.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Source Books</a></p><p>Newsletter: <a href="https://numbertwopencil.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Number Two Pencil</a></p><p>BlueSky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/peltzmadeline.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@peltzmadeline.bsky.social</a> / X: <a href="https://x.com/peltzmadeline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@peltzmadeline</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/peltzmadeline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@peltzmadeline</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Join us in New York City on Oct. 28: </strong><a href="https://ipk.nyu.edu/events/book-talk-michael-edison-hayden-christopher-mathias-strange-people-on-the-hill-how-extremism-tore-apart-a-small-american-town-to-catch-a-fascist-the-fight-to-expose-the-radical-right/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>RSVP Here</strong></a></p>
