1. Introduction to AM Fest and Cultural Shifts

The episode kicks off with Sean Kelly welcoming Jack Posobiec, a prominent conservative commentator known for his controversial views. They discuss their attendance at AM Fest, an event that has grown significantly since its inception in 2021.

• Jack Posobiec ([01:36]):
  “It's been wild. I haven't missed an AM Fest yet, and it's clearly the biggest one. All credit obviously to Charlie for what he did... It's almost biblical, like going through the wilderness before arriving at the promised land.”

Jack credits Charlie (presumably Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and organizer of AM Fest) for the event's success, highlighting a perceived cultural shift aligning with their ideological stance.

2. Navigating Event Drama and Speaker Issues

Sean brings up recent dramas surrounding AM Fest, including last-minute speaker cancellations and tensions with figures like Nancy Mace.

• Sean Kelly ([02:29]):
  “Yeah, it's been a great event despite all the drama this week. Had some speakers back out last minute.”

• Jack Posobiec ([02:33]):
  “It wouldn't be a turning point event without a little bit of drama... dealing with some beef... like with Nancy Mace.”

Jack expresses resilience, viewing drama as an inherent part of impactful events, suggesting it doesn't detract from the overall mission.

3. The Compromise of Politicians: Types and Impact

A central theme of the conversation revolves around the extent to which politicians are influenced or compromised, touching on both foreign and domestic factors.

• Sean Kelly ([01:01] & [03:48]):
  “If you had to guess, like what percentage of politicians are influenced or compromised in some sort of way, what number would that look like?”

• Jack Posobiec ([01:06] & [03:53] - [05:59]):
  Jack delineates different forms of compromise, emphasizing that it's often not foreign but involves personal misconduct, insider trading, and undue financial influence. He mentions Nancy Pelosi as an example:

  “It's like, 'Hey man, I just call up my financial broker. I say, dude, don't look at the market. Just do whatever Nancy Pelosi does and you'll be all right.'” ([03:53])

Jack advocates for stringent measures to eliminate personal trading by politicians and increased transparency in legislative processes:

“We are going to drop the receipts on everyone and we are going to examine everyone's record... making it transparent... we need radical, absolutely radical accountability.” ([07:01])

He opposes term limits, arguing they could inadvertently empower lobbyists and entrenched special interests.

4. Deep State Realities and Conspiracy Theories

The discussion delves into the concept of the "Deep State," with Jack outlining what he perceives as its operational playbooks.

• Jack Posobiec ([10:13] - [12:10]):
  “I think the Deep State's got three playbooks... Kavanaugh smear, Lawfare as with Nixon and Trump, and the JFK assassination tactics...”

  He elaborates on each playbook, suggesting systematic efforts to undermine political figures through various means, including legal battles and orchestrated scandals.

Jack references his works, such as his book "Bulletproof," to support his theories on presidential assassinations and manipulations within the government.

5. Personal Security and Online Controversies

Sean probes Jack about the risks associated with his controversial stance and online presence, particularly referencing the Nick Fuentes situation.

• Jack Posobiec ([13:01] - [15:19]):
  Jack acknowledges the dangers of being a public figure who stirs controversy:

  “My house is fully secured... my parents have been swatted... those people are in federal prison awaiting trial.”

He stresses the importance of setting boundaries, denouncing actions like doxing and swatting regardless of political affiliation:

“You have to draw lines... it's communist... you end up with piles of skulls and mass graves every single time.”

Jack underscores the need for accountability on all sides, criticizing what he perceives as a double standard in responses to violent actions based on political motivations.

6. Media Control, Tech Giants, and Influencer Threats

The conversation shifts to media control, specifically addressing concerns about influential figures like George Soros targeting mainstream media through acquisitions.

• Jack Posobiec ([15:50] - [16:57]):
  Discussing Soros's recent purchase of the "Hot Ones" podcast, Jack warns of a broader strategy to dominate media channels:

  “George Soros is realizing that the mainstream media model isn't where people are anymore. 2024 was a podcast election... independent podcasts and streamers are going to become 10 times more powerful, but also 10 times more threatened.”

He predicts increased attempts to control or suppress independent media voices, emphasizing the importance of maintaining media independence to preserve diverse perspectives.

7. Future Projects and Closing Remarks

In the closing segment, Jack hints at future projects and provides information on how listeners can engage with his work.

• Jack Posobiec ([16:33] - [16:57]):
  He mentions a book bundle and contemplates authoring a book about Jesus, influenced by his son's request:

  “Maybe we will [write a book about Jesus]... if you want to find me, just go look at Media Matters, Washington Post, MSNBC. They can't stop talking.”

Sean thanks Jack for his participation, and the episode concludes with standard outro messages.
