Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. The New Jersey Red Wave? Election Energy on the Ground
(Begins ~03:00)
- Posobiec recounts attending a large Bergen County rally supporting Jack Ciattarelli for governor, marking a shift he believes could turn New Jersey “red.”
- He contrasts Ciattarelli's charisma and grassroots appeal with Democrat candidate Mikie Sherrill’s struggling campaign.
- Highlights endorsements: “If 12 elected Democrats can cross the aisle and vote for Jack Ciattarelli... then maybe, just maybe, North Jersey wouldn't mind if an Eagles fan like myself would come all the way up there...” (04:50)
Notable Quote:
“New Jersey as a state, I'm telling you, if we do the work for the next couple of weeks... New Jersey can go red. Bank on it.”
— Jack Posobiec (06:01)
2. College Campus Free Speech: The Rutgers Antifa Professor Controversy
(Begins ~10:15)
- Coverage of escalating tensions at Rutgers University between Turning Point USA (TPUSA) student activists and a professor labeled “Dr. Antifa,” who allegedly fled to Spain after receiving campus backlash.
- Ava Kwan and Megan Doyle, student leaders, describe being doxed, harassed, and coming under university investigation after creating a petition aiming to remove the professor for “promoting violent rhetoric.”
- Megan details inspiration for starting the petition, especially amid heightened campus polarization following the murder of Turning Point’s national leader Charlie Kirk (see below).
Key Segment & Quotes:
- Ava Kwan:
“Megan and I, who created the petition, we were both sent threatening messages. I was doxed. They found my mother's cell phone number and were sending it around. It's been awful.” (11:27)
- Megan Doyle:
“This professor… was promoting political rhetoric. He was biased towards students who had differing political opinions from him. Antifa was just declared [a] terrorist organization... With him promoting this political rhetoric—this is the kind of rhetoric that got Charlie killed last month.” (13:36)
- Posobiec’s perspective is combative, suggesting the university is targeting conservative students rather than addressing threats or bias from faculty:
“They're investigating you… I'd love to know that if they're saying there's an issue with the campus status… Is that how they promote that campus to all of the people who go there? …If Rutgers is actually engaging in fraud… these are just some of the questions…” (16:40)
3. Impact of Campus Activism on State and National Politics
(Begins ~22:00)
- Ava and Megan discuss the climate at Rutgers and among young conservatives in New Jersey.
- Ava highlights a viral "no Kings" protest and educator behavior mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination, reinforcing concerns about who is instructing America’s youth.
- Posobiec and guests say working-class voters are turning from Democrats, in part due to issues like taxes, crime, and illegal immigration.

“...especially after this whole Dr. Antifa situation, I think it begs the question of who is educating the next generation of adults.”

- Both Schilling and Posobiec agree that blue-collar Democrats in New Jersey are open to flipping, especially over “trans agenda” and parental rights issues.

Overall Tone and Takeaways
Jack Posobiec’s tone is combative, urgent, and at times conspiratorial. He positions his guests and listeners as embattled defenders of American values under siege—by radical faculty, entrenched political operatives, and a corrupt culture industry. The episode connects campus activism to broader debates on education, parental rights, and the power of grassroots organizing, while sharply criticizing opposition figures as radical, elitist, or joyless. The show uses a mix of insider political analysis, personal storytelling, and calls to action—from electoral volunteering to legislative advocacy on online safety.
