Summary

Jack Posobiec’s Human Events episode of December 9, 2025, is a tightly focused culture war commentary mixing news analysis with calls to legislative action.

Notable guests Libby Emmons, Terry Schilling, and Mary Margaret Olohan add journalistic, legislative, and advocacy perspectives to the discourse, with recurring threads about censorship, parental responsibility, the failure of mainstream media, the rise and dangers of niche internet subcultures, and the perceived need for explicit content labeling on media platforms.
