The Jeremy Boreing Show

The peer review system that governs scientific publishing was built to be an immune system — a self-correcting mechanism to keep bad science from becoming policy. It isn't working. In fields captured by ideology, particularly gender medicine, the correction mechanism has been reversed: papers that confirm the approved narrative sail through, while letters to the editor challenging them are ghosted, buried in endless limbo, or sent back to the same reviewers who approved the original paper. Dissent doesn't get published. It disappears. And in the absence of peer-reviewed counter-evidence, judges, policymakers, and medical boards treat the silence as consensus. Colin Wright has been fighting this for eight years. He left academic biology rather than write DEI statements affirming things he knew to be false. He was canceled at peak cancel culture for publishing — in Quillette and the Wall Street Journal — a simple biological claim: there are exactly two sexes. He watched papers that would have been laughed out of any rigorous review process get cited by the American Academy of Pediatrics, referenced in federal court cases, and used to justify irreversible medical procedures on minors. And rather than opt out of the system or fight it from the outside, he built something new inside it. Colin and Theory and Society editor-in-chief Kevin McCaffrey announced a first-of-its-kind post-publication peer review system through Springer Nature — a $1.8 billion academic institution. The system lets anyone submit a formal peer review of any published paper, routes it through an editorial process that evaluates argument quality rather than ideological alignment, and includes a built-in right of reply. If the original authors respond within a month, both pieces publish simultaneously. If they don't, the criticism publishes anyway. The veto that has been silencing dissent is gone. Jeremy gets into: - How peer review works when it works — and the specific ways ideological capture has broken it in gender medicine and related fields - The pipeline from flawed academic paper to AMA guidelines to federal court precedent — and why the absence of published counter-evidence is used as evidence of consensus - The multivariate animal sex paper, the brine shrimp wedding, and other examples of ideologically captured research that passed peer review and are now being cited in policy - How Theory and Society's post-publication peer review system works, what makes it structurally different from existing letter-to-the-editor processes, and why the right-of-reply guarantee changes everything - Colin's one policy recommendation: tie federal research funding to journals that don't require positionality statements or ideological terminology — and why that alone could restructure the incentive system - Colin's personal biography: flunking out of community college, losing his academic career at peak cancel culture, moving back in with his parents to become a fitness influencer — and the series of setbacks that led to the most consequential work of his career - Why the X comparison holds: just as one free speech platform changed the speech policies of every other platform, one journal willing to publish dissent may be enough to force the rest of the system to reform Also referenced: Christina Buttons, James Lindsay, Gordon Guyatt, James Nuzzo, Claire Lehman (Quillette), Kevin McCaffrey (Theory and Society). 00:00 Introduction 01:00:03 Is the Peer Review System Compromised? 01:01:03 How Ideological Capture Breaks Science 01:02:25 When Politics Invades Hard Sciences 01:04:40 How Peer Review Actually Works 01:08:18 How the System Goes Wrong 01:12:14 From Published Papers to Real-World Policy 01:21:17 Colin's New Post-Publication Peer Review System 01:26:53 How the New System Prevents Author Veto 01:29:36 Criticisms of the New Journal 01:33:25 The For-Profit Problem in Academic Publishing 01:36:01 Is This Really "Peer" Review? 01:40:47 The Scale of the Problem 01:47:48 One Policy Change With the Broadest Impact 01:52:27 Did Peer Review Ever Actually Work? 01:55:04 The Craziest Papers Ever Published 01:59:06 Colin's Origin Story 02:07:51 Failure, Cancel Culture, and Finding Purpose 02:15:21 What Drives the Refusal to Compromise on Truth 02:19:37 The Betrayal of the Scientific Ideal 02:31:55 COVID, DEI Statements, and the Corruption of Science 02:35:11 What Colin Hopes His Legacy Will Be

Congress just handed a conspiracy theory a credential it will never lose. On Monday, on the 59th anniversary of the USS Liberty attack, Thomas Massie — a lame-duck congressman with nothing left to lose — stood on the floor of the United States House of Representatives and entered an antisemitic conspiracy theory into the Congressional Record. The claim: that Israel deliberately murdered American sailors in 1967, and that the U.S. government covered it up. That claim has lived for decades in the fever swamps of fringe blogs and crackpot influencers. Now it lives in the Congressional Record forever. That same week: President Trump resumed strikes on Iran after an American Apache helicopter was downed, and already Alex Jones and others on the conspiratorial Right are suggesting its a false flag operation by Israel. And a jury in Collin County convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder — and the social feeds filled immediately leftists are demanding his release along racial lines, while Nick Fuentes is calling for whites to mirror that same racial solidarity. The left and the dissident right are not opposites. They are competing brands of the same product — despair, blame, and the conviction that the only way forward is to burn it down. The left packages it as systemic oppression. The dissident right packages it as stolen greatness. The destination is the same: a person who has surrendered his agency to whichever movement most convincingly tells him he was wronged. But Jeremy believes we can build a better future. Not as a naive refusal to see the problems — but as the conviction, grounded in faith, that your choices still matter, that building is still possible, and that the future belongs to those who build it. Tonight, Jeremy is joined by the team making that case from the inside. Jeremy gets into: --Why Massie's USS Liberty speech is more dangerous than its content — and what the venue tells you about where the dissident right is heading --The convergence of the left and the dissident right: same ideology, different packaging --Why Jeremy launched this show — not because he wanted a podcast, but because an object in motion is more generative than an object at rest --How Boreing Media thinks about AI, editorial standards, and building institutions that don't drift toward audience capture --What the conservative movement actually has to do in the next two years to avoid handing power back to the left Guests: Alyssa Cordova (Executive Producer, The Jeremy Boreing Show), Jon Lewis (President, Boreing Media), Joel Berry (Senior Producer, The Jeremy Boreing Show; former Managing Editor, The Babylon Bee) 00:00 Introduction – USS Liberty, Thomas Massey & the Dissident Right 02:16 Carmelo Anthony Verdict & the Left-Right Convergence 03:49 Jeremy's Story: Leaving The Daily Wire & Starting Over 06:41 Why Jeremy Launched This Show 08:01 The Conservative Movement in Crisis 09:15 Meet the Team: John Lewis, Joel Berry & Alyssa Cordova 17:03 What Makes the Daily Wire Different: A Culture of Winning 23:49 Mission Over Role: Rightly Ordering Your Priorities 28:29 Work as Worship: The Protestant Work Ethic & Calling 36:28 Parasocial Relationships – Good, Bad & the President Parallel 47:22 Every Job Has a Mission – Plumbers, Tombstone Sellers & Sandwich Makers 01:02:57 AI, Filmmaking & the Future of Media 01:09:46 Breaking Down the Team's Daily Reality 01:22:31 Audience Q&A: Where Does the Political Chaos End? 01:37:52 Audience Q&A: Husband, Wife & Competing Callings 02:02:57 Audience Q&A: Thoughts on AI Filmmaking 02:18:36 Audience Q&A: What Matters Most in Friendship 02:37:01 The Bent Key – Debunking a Fan Conspiracy Theory

Today marks the fifty-ninth anniversary of the attack on the USS Liberty.  Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Thomas Massie and their ilk have been pushing a conspiracy theory about what happened on June 8th, 1967 — and they’re lying to you about what really happened.  This is Jeremy's definitive debunking of the USS Liberty conspiracy theory: what the evidence actually shows, why the false flag narrative doesn't survive scrutiny, and why the dissident Right is pushing lies about the tragic deaths of 34 American sailors. On June 8th, 1967, Israeli forces attacked the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy intelligence ship operating in the eastern Mediterranean near the Sinai coast. Thirty-four Americans were killed. One hundred and seventy-one were wounded. Every official investigation that followed — the Navy Court of Inquiry, CIA analysis, the NSA's declassified intercepts, the Clark Clifford report, the Joint Chiefs review, and multiple congressional investigations — reached the same conclusion: the attack was a tragic case of mistaken identity. Friendly fire in the fog of war. That verdict has never been overturned. The USS Liberty conspiracy theory exists not because the evidence supports it, but because the evidence has been systematically misrepresented by people with an agenda. Jeremy gets into: the eight specific claims made by USS Liberty conspiracy theorists and why none of them hold up — the American flag argument, the NSA tapes, the "unmistakable ship" claim, the life raft machine-gunning allegation, the rescue plane recall, the Ward Boston affidavit, the 2003 Moorer Commission, and the cover-up theory; the Gish Gallop — the debate tactic of substituting volume of weak claims for the strength of any single argument, and how it drives every USS Liberty conspiracy conversation; the strategic context of June 1967 — Egypt, Syria, and Jordan massed on Israel's borders with the stated aim of annihilation, Soviet client states throughout the Arab world, and Lyndon Johnson's overriding fear of a great power confrontation with the USSR; how the USS Liberty came to be in the eastern Mediterranean and why it never received Navy orders to withdraw from the combat zone; Dr. Marvin Nowicki, the NSA's chief Hebrew linguist aboard an EC-121 spy plane recording Israeli communications in real time, and what the declassified NSA intercepts actually show; USS Liberty captain William McGonagle — Congressional Medal of Honor recipient — and his sworn contemporaneous testimony versus the survivor narratives that evolved over decades; Lloyd Painter's contradictory accounts and what the science of trauma memory tells us about eyewitness testimony from combat survivors; Admiral Thomas Moorer and the 2003 "Independent Commission of Inquiry" — no subpoena power, no access to classified material, funded by the USS Liberty Veterans Association, and why a private citizen's opinion is not the same as an official finding; the motive problem — why neither the "false flag to drag America into war" theory nor the "silence the NSA" theory survives contact with the actual strategic situation of June 1967; Iran's documented exploitation of the USS Liberty anniversary, including a coordinated campaign of over 2,000 Iranian accounts pushing antisemitic narratives at American audiences, documented by the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab; the Soviet-era origins of anti-Zionist propaganda and how those narratives migrated to Tucker Carlson's program, Candace Owens's platform, and Nick Fuentes; antisemitism as a conspiracy framework and why the USS Liberty has become one of the most respectable vehicles for it on the American right; and what Thomas Massie's planned House floor speech actually represents — and why a sitting congressman using American sailors' deaths to suggest Jewish power overrides American democracy is something the right needs to reckon with.

The Southern Poverty Law Center calls it a myth. Most American institutions act as if it doesn't exist. But Noah Rothman's case is that the United States is in the middle of its third major wave of left-wing political violence in the last century — and the polling, the assassinations, and the institutional response all tell the story of a society losing the social taboo that has historically held this kind of violence in check. Jeremy is joined by Noah Rothman — Senior Writer at National Review, columnist, and author of three books, including the brand-new Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence, alongside The Rise of the New Puritans and Unjust: Social Justice and the Unmaking of America. Noah is one of the few Trump-skeptical voices on the right who has continued to keep his eyes locked on the threat from the left even as conservative media has, in some quarters, drifted toward its own conspiracies and grievances. They get into: the three historical waves of left-wing violence in America — the anarchist and socialist violence of the 1910s and 1920s, the Marxian guerrilla movements of the late 1960s, '70s, and '80s, and the wave we are inside of right now; why the SPLC and most academic databases of "political violence" double-count prison fights and homeless-person epithets to manufacture a top-line that the right is uniquely violent; the rhetorical tactic Noah calls "the pregnant 'but'" — how Bernie Sanders, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and Chris Murphy all condemned Brian Thompson's murder and then immediately appended a "but" justifying it; the Charlie Kirk assassination and the institutional left's largely respectful response versus the campus and online cheering, the Saturday Night Live applause for the name Luigi Mangione, and the conspiracy ecosystem on the dissident right (Candace Owens, Ian Carroll, and the Epstein-pedophile-class framings) that now exists in symmetry with it; the Network Contagion Research Institute polls showing 50% of self-identified left-of-center Americans say it is at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk, and 56% say the same about Donald Trump; the three publicly known attempts on Trump's life and Norah O'Donnell asking the President on CBS to respond to his would-be killer's manifesto; January 6 and the BLM 2020 riots as comparative case studies in mob violence, the blanket pardons issued by both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and why blanket pardons are never a good idea; Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn — the Weather Underground revolutionaries who killed people, never went to prison, and got tenure at major universities — and Alexander Berkman, Howard Zinn, and the Marxian intellectual lineage that fed them; Helen Andrews's "feminization of society" thesis and whether the rise of female representation in hegemonic left-wing institutions tracks with the rise in intolerance and willingness to censor; the strange evolution by which Marxists became Pan-Arab Baathists became Islamists, the Red-Green Alliance, and Jason Burke's The Revolutionists as the international companion text; the Sarah Milgrom and Yaron Lischinsky shooting in Washington and the textbook Marxian writings of Elias Rodriguez; the Soviet-era "Zionology" academic project that invented most of the anti-Israel narratives that now circulate on college campuses (white settler colonialism, brown-South genocide, rape as a weapon of war); two "cellphone moments" America is failing to reckon with — COVID accountability, foreclosed when Trump became the 2024 nominee, and the Charlie Kirk assassination, foreclosed by the dissident right's choice to build conspiracies instead of confronting left-wing violence; Tucker Carlson, the Catholic integralists, and the rise of "rhetorical statue-toppling" on the right; and Noah's recommendations on what actually works — civic education, law-enforcement modeling, and the patient, unglamorous restoration of the social taboo around political violence. 01:02 Is America Living Through a Wave of Left-Wing Violence?  02:13 The SPLC Calls It a Myth  06:17 The Three Waves: Anarchists, Marxian Guerrillas, and Now  08:27 The Psychology of Political Violence  10:27 Luigi, Brian Thompson, and the Permission Structure  13:06 How the Databases Erase Left-Wing Violence  43:45 What Ended the Last Two Waves  47:15 Why Wealth and Education Make Us More Vulnerable  01:14:40 How the Right Is Blowing Its Own Moment on Charlie Kirk  01:33:47 What Can Actually Be Done

Two weeks ago, Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary. The night he conceded, Marjorie Taylor Greene posted that the Republican Party was "destroyed" and prayed for the “these creatures” — i.e. the boomers and her own party's voters — to be gone so the country could be "saved" by the young. A few weeks ago, Tucker Carlson called the boomers "the most loathsome, mediocre generation this country has ever produced."  Burn down the old so we can be saved by the young  is the most cynical lie in American politics today, and it's the same lie the left – Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Margaret Mead, and Yuval Harari – has been selling for sixty years. This episode is Jeremy's case for why Gen Z is being sold a Marxist con dressed in right-wing sheep's clothing, and what it would actually look like to save civilization instead of burning it down. Jeremy gets into: the MTG "these creatures" post and what it really means; the $30 million primary Massie still lost; the blame-the-boomers movement and the numbers that disprove its central claims (Gen Z owns less than 10% of student debt, the homebuying gap is a 6-percentage-point spread not 66, millennial wealth tripled between 2019 and 2023); Tucker Carlson on the right and Jon Stewart on the left running the same Gen Z chase; the two kinds of historical progress — building on what came before versus the perpetual revolution that always ends in mass graves; why the American founders kept English common law and the French revolutionaries burned the calendar and sent 20,000 to the guillotine; Edmund Burke's "monster of monsters" and his partnership of the living, the dead, and the unborn; the Comanche as a case study in what happens to cultures that worship the young (they don't build civilizations); the sixty-year preaching tradition from Margaret Mead's Culture and Commitment through Oprah's "they just have to die" to Evan Sayet, Robert Fulghum, Eric Weinstein, and Yuval Harari telling kids not to rely on the adults; Abigail Schrier's Bad Therapy and the data on what telling Gen Z to ignore their parents has actually produced; the totalitarian playbook for breaking the parent-child bond, from Pavlik Morozov to the Hitler Youth to Mao's Cultural Revolution to Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge; the Fifth Commandment, Dennis Prager and the Apostle Paul on the only commandment that comes with a promise; what conservatism — per Roger Scruton and Russell Kirk — has actually conserved, including the world Gen Z woke up in; the boomers' real failures (no-fault divorce, abortion on demand, the COVID lockdowns) and the world-defining things they also built (Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Tim Berners-Lee, the internet, the longest peace and prosperity in human history, Vietnam paid in 58,000 sons); the $84 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer coming over the next two decades; why the doom narrative about millennials was wrong and why the same story is being told about Gen Z now; and the closing call: don't be the doom generation, build the future, live long in the land.

Evangelicals voted 82-17 for Trump in 2024, made up 27% of the electorate, and provided the decisive single-bloc margin in the national vote — for the third consecutive election. Without them, the Left wins. But American evangelicalism is under attack from every direction. The Left is trying to co-opt it — Hillary Clinton in The Atlantic, Andy Beshear laundering leftism through Bible Belt language, and Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico telling Joe Rogan's audience that God supports abortion and is nonbinary. The dissident right's "Christ is King" movement is trying to fracture it from within. And decades of seeker-sensitive church culture have left millions of Christians biblically illiterate — easy targets for all of the above. Can traditional American evangelicalism survive? And can this essential voting bloc hold together? That's tonight's question. Joining Jeremy tonight: Allie Beth Stuckey — host of Relatable, New York Times bestselling author of Toxic Empathy, and the person Hillary Clinton spent six thousand words attacking by name. David Limbaugh — lawyer, nationally syndicated columnist, author of ten NYT bestsellers, five of which are on Christian apologetics, including Jesus on Trial. And Frank Turek — founder of CrossExamined.org, author of I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist — a man who came to evangelical Christianity from Catholicism through the power of evidence, and who's been carrying that evidence onto hostile college campuses for more than thirty years. 00:00 – James Talarico and the Weaponization of Christianity 10:30 – Should Christians Vote on Character or Policy? 18:47 – Trump, Evangelicals, and the Hypocrisy Charge 27:33 – Love vs. Approval: Has the Right Lost Its Witness? 44:11 – Catholics, Evangelicals, and Coalition Politics 1:04:42 – Why Young People Are Leaving Evangelicalism for Catholicism 1:17:05 – Sola Scriptura vs. the Magisterium 1:32:29 – Mormons, Muslims, and Who Can Be Saved 1:51:00 – The Demonic Battle After Charlie Kirk's Murder 2:21:10 – What Christians Owe This Moment: The Truth of the Gospel

The defining illness of new media isn't bias. It's audience capture — and a generation of hosts on both the left and the right have stopped trying to lead an audience and started trying to be picked by one. Bridget Phetasy has watched it happen, written about it, and shed followers for refusing to play along. Jeremy is joined by Bridget Phetasy — comedian, writer, Spectator columnist, and host of Walk-Ins Welcome and Dumpster Fire. She's one of the few people in this space willing to tell her own audience when they're wrong–and admit to them when’s she’s wrong–and she joins Jeremy for a conversation that ranges from the news of the moment to the deepest questions of how a person stays honest in public life. They get into: audience capture as the defining illness of new media; Bridget's argument that Jon Stewart sitting with Zohran Mamdani and Tucker Carlson sitting with Nick Fuentes are doing the exact same thing — chasing the in-vogue youth demographic on the left with Hasan Piker-style socialism and on the right with Candace Owens and Thomas Massie-aligned nationalism; the late-night ratings machine that built our chase-the-youth instinct from Letterman, Leno, Conan, Fallon, and Kimmel onward; why Don Henley, the Eagles, and the Beatles all stopped making the zeitgeist when they aged out, and why that's how it's supposed to work; the early COVID skeptics Liz Wheeler, Steve Deace, and Jesse Kelly versus the political class (Donald Trump included) who Jeremy believes should have been disqualified from government over the response; the Hollywood-patron model versus the conservative-media model, with Megyn Kelly as the rare network actually developing talent and Matt Walsh as the case study in what network leverage can do for an already-driven host; the 12-step inventory, the regret piece, motherhood, and the resentment culture; Bridget's faith arc from Sam Harris and the new atheists through Emmet Fox and the Lord's Prayer; and what she wants her daughter to remember her for. Also referenced: Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, Konstantin Kisin, Dallas Sonnier, Andrew Klavan, Alana Newhouse, Allie Beth Stuckey, Ben Sasse, Joel Berry, James Lindsay, Michael Young, Jordan Peterson, Alex Jones, Taylor Lorenz, and Erika Kirk. 1:01 How Audience Capture Is Eating New Media 8:52 The Analytics Trap and Selling Out Your Soul 15:25 "More MAGA Than MAGA" and Algorithmic Dementia 23:14 Networks, Solo Acts, and the Matt Walsh Lesson 34:24 Hollywood, Patrons, and Why Conservative Media Won't Make the Next Roseanne 42:48 Tucker, Jon Stewart, and the Gen Z Trap 52:49 Don Henley and the Burden of Staying Zeitgeisty 59:27 Postmodernism, Nick Fuentes Going Mainstream, and the Plague That Wasn't 1:10:41 Why Hasn’t Anyone Been Punished for COVID? 1:19:17 Sometimes the Trolls Are Right — Regret, Motherhood, and Resentment 1:50:28 Faith, Sobriety, and What Bridget Wants to Be Remembered For

Thomas Massie posted a poll on X in which over 85% of respondents said Israel is a greater threat to liberty in America than China, Russia, or Iran. Half the right is dismissing it as a bot artifact. The other half is treating it as gospel. Both are wrong — and tonight Jeremy unpacks why with three guests who study this exact machine for a living. Jeremy is joined by investigative journalist Lee Smith (The Plot Against the President, The China Matrix), political scientist Wilfred Reilly (Hate Crime Hoax), and investigative journalist, and founder of NPOV Ashley Rindsberg— three guys who, between them, have probably done more to dissect how false narratives actually get made, distributed, and believed in this country than anyone out there. They’ll get into the Massie poll and what representative samples actually show; the bot problem on X and what it means for public discourse and opinion; what Massie’s primary loss means for the next five elections; how and why a troubling number of people believe Candace Owens should be president; what a public that's stopped demanding evidence means for the future of the country; and more on tonight’s The Jeremy Boreing Show Wednesday LIVE. 00:00:02 – Thomas Massie's Loss & What It Reveals About Gen Z 00:02:33 – Foreign Propaganda & Why Americans Are Vulnerable 00:08:05 – Social Proof, Anonymous Influence & Manufactured Consent 00:16:56 – Russiagate, Domestic Propaganda & Broken Institutions 00:28:11 – The Manosphere, Loneliness & the Search for Meaning 00:38:20 – Gen Z, Religion & the Turn Away from American Christianity 00:48:39 – Anti-Semitism, Conspiracy Thinking & the Cult of Secret Knowledge 00:53:47 – Technology, Secularization & the Perfect Storm 01:00:17 – Building vs. Burning: How Do We Rebuild Institutions? 01:36:26 – The Death of Journalism & Conservative Media's Failures 01:47:45 – Final Question: One Thing You'd Change to Save the Country

Last June, former Navy SEAL and podcast host Shawn Ryan tweeted, "I've fought in enough fake wars. I think I'll sit this one out." That phrase — "fake war" — is doing more damage to American veterans than anyone has been willing to say. It's Memorial Day. The 2,500 Americans who died in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the men and women who came home carrying what they did there, deserve better than a culture that has decided their cause was invented, their sacrifice was foolish, and their service was, at best, a mistake — and at worst, evil. Jeremy Boreing argues otherwise. Jeremy gets into: Shawn Ryan's "fake wars" tweet and the audience capture behind it; the Yale / University of Amsterdam study on how China launders its positions through TikTok influencers; the 2023 moment Osama bin Laden's "Letter to America" went viral on TikTok; the polling showing nearly 1-in-3 Gen Z voters now describe Osama bin Laden's views as a force for good; why Afghanistan was justice, not a war of choice; the lie of "forever war" and what 80 years of American troops in Germany, Japan, and Korea actually bought the West; how Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and the soldiers who defeated Imperial Japan are being retroactively villainized by the same voices; the 9/11 conspiracy industry's strange second life; Saddam Hussein's torture chambers, the chemical attacks on the Kurds, and why every major Western intelligence service believed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction; President George W. Bush's 2007 surge and the Sunni Awakening that broke the back of the insurgency; President Barack Obama's 2011 withdrawal and the ISIS caliphate that rushed into the vacuum; the February 2016 South Carolina primary debate where Donald Trump dropped the phrase “forever wars” to take down Jeb Bush; President Joe Biden's $85 billion in American military hardware now in Taliban hands; Richard Nixon, the Christmas bombings, and how a Democratic Congress in 1975 gave away the Vietnam victory the military had already secured on the battlefield; how President Donald Trump destroyed ISIS, killed Qasem Soleimani, removed Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela, and authorized strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities; how Vladimir Putin can sustain a meat grinder in Ukraine while America's two-party system can't sustain political will past one election; the 2023 survey in which 73% of veterans said it was the withdrawal, not the war, that changed how they view their service; and the just war doctrine of Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas — and how rewriting a war as "fake" manufactures moral injury that never had to exist. This is one of the most important monologues Jeremy Boreing has delivered. 00:00 The Origin of Memorial Day  02:19 "I've Fought in Enough Fake Wars" — The Shawn Ryan Tweet  04:28 China, TikTok, and Bin Laden's Manifesto Going Viral  06:04 Vietnam, Yellow Ribbons, and the Lesson We Forgot  07:49 Afghanistan Was Not a Mistake  12:31 The "Forever War" Lie and the 9/11 Conspiracy Industry  15:57 Iraq: Saddam, the Surge, and the Win That Was Squandered  22:29 Obama Threw It All Away — and ISIS Filled the Vacuum  28:58 How Trump Won the GOP by Attacking the Wars  34:14 Just War Doctrine and Manufactured Moral Injury  38:12 Thank You, Veterans: WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Global War on Terror  43:24 At 3 PM Today, Stop What You’re Doing

The internet has handed the human race an old tool with a new edge: the power to form a mob in seconds, choose a scapegoat by lunchtime, and feel the sweet relief of expulsion before dinner. Jeremy sits down with one of the most consequential builders of modern Catholic media to ask what kind of spiritual force is actually moving through our feeds — and what it costs the people wielding it. Jeremy is joined by Father Steve Grunow, the executive director of Word on Fire — the apostolate he has built alongside Bishop Robert Barron over the last 25 years into the preeminent Catholic media institution in the world. A priest of nearly three decades, a former competitive bodybuilder, and a media operator who has spent his entire career at the intersection of evangelism and technology, Fr. Steve brings both the pulpit and the boardroom to a conversation about the spiritual stakes of the internet age. They get into: René Girard's scapegoating mechanism and why it has metastasized inside social media; the corrupting effect of influence on those who reach for it; the satanic logic of wielding dark forces like antisemitism for clicks; the 60-year civil war inside the Catholic Church and why it has weakened the Church's immune system; the uniquely American ecumenical alliance between Catholics, Jews, and evangelical Protestants and why it is now under threat; the grotesquerie of weaponized “Christ is King” content; the rise of Catholic LARPing and a new Pharisaism online; the cultural revolution of 2016 as a false-prophet moment, with Wokism on its tripod of racialism, queer identitarianism, and sex-war feminism; the wave of young men flooding back into the Catholic Church; the bodybuilder priest and what the gym taught him about evangelism; and finally the triumph of the Lamb. 00:00  Are We Living in an Antichrist Moment? 00:48  Is Media a Tool for Evangelism? 03:29  René Girard, Scapegoating, and the Online Mob 09:00  The Roman Roads, the Gospel, and the Devil Watching 16:59  Two Kingdoms, Two Banners 31:26  Influence, Ego, and the Corrosion of Power 39:39  Wielding Dark Spiritual Forces — Antisemitism for Clicks 43:41  The Catholic Civil War and America's Ecumenical Exception 53:45  Saved by “The Wrong Blood” 1:00:20  What Beauty Really Is — and Why It's Being Destroyed 1:17:07  Catholic LARPing and the “Christ Is King” Grotesquerie 1:38:19  The Revival, the False Prophet of 2016, and the Triumph of the Lamb

The internet is convulsing with AI hysteria. Sam Altman is paying ten thousand dollars to have his brain chemically preserved — provided he's euthanized first. Bernie Sanders and AOC want to ban every new data center in America. And the "Godfather of AI" says there's a 20% chance the machines wipe out humanity in thirty years. Jeremy says: enough. AI is not the apocalypse. It is not the messiah. It is a mirror and a lever — and the only real question is who picks it up. Christians and conservatives have spent fifteen years retreating from every tool that mattered. Do that with AI and we don't preserve civilization. We abandon it. Jeremy gets into: Sam Altman's plan to be euthanized so a server can host his brain; the viral "23 atomic bombs" claim about Kevin O'Leary's 40,000-acre Utah data center — and the 6,500 bombs-a-day of solar radiation the same desert already absorbs; Bernie and AOC's AI Data Center Moratorium Act; the thirteen gunshots fired into Indianapolis councilman Ron Gibson's home after he voted for a rezoning; what AI is already doing in drug discovery, cancer detection, and farming; the real history of the Luddites — and Socrates, the railroad panic, and "railway madness"; Anthropic's Dario Amodei flirting with the idea that Claude is conscious; why Christian anthropology destroys the materialist AI worldview; the dominion mandate; Elon Musk's "superabundance" fantasy and the sweat-of-the-brow problem; the fixed-pie fallacy; Daily Wire's 18-month run as the #1 publisher on all of Facebook; the China AI race; and why this generation was handed this moment on purpose.

A lot of people are worried about what AI is going to do to us. The new technologies, as Jeremy puts it in this episode, invoke in all of us a kind of awe and wonder on the one hand, and a kind of fear of the future on the other. Both reactions deserve serious people taking them seriously. Jeremy is joined by Patrick Wood, founder of Citizens for Free Speech, who has been researching the Trilateral Commission since 1978 and co-wrote two volumes on it with the late Professor Anthony Sutton, and Courtenay Turner, his co-author on Final Betrayal and host of The Courtenay Turner Podcast. Together they make the case that an unaccountable technocratic class has captured the second Trump administration, that constitutional self-government is at risk, and that the AI buildout is the infrastructure for what comes next. Jeremy hears them out — Elon Musk, Curtis Yarvin, the dark enlightenment, JD Vance’s post-liberalism, the Genius Act and stablecoin tokenization, what Trump is doing in Gaza. But he also tells them where he disagrees: he pushes back on what he calls the "unified field theory" of the elite, he says he doesn’t fear the technology itself, and he makes the theological case for why there will never be a sentient AI. They get into: what "technocracy" actually meant when it was coined in 1937; the Brzezinski-to-Rockefeller intellectual through-line; Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, and the dark enlightenment’s anti-democratic vision; the Highland Rim project and Christian-nationalist network states; the Genius Act and the road to stablecoin tokenization; the proposed natural asset companies and the $126 trillion blockchain announcement; Trump’s Board of Peace, World Liberty Financial, and the Gaza experiment; JD Vance, Peter Thiel, and the post-liberal Catholic-integralist orbit; the printing press and what disruptive technology actually does to a civilization; and the two forces Jeremy calls the most powerful on this plane of existence — God’s sovereignty and self-interest.   00:00 Has a Technocratic Elite Replaced Our Constitution? 01:35 What Technocracy Actually Is 08:11 The Strongest Case for Rule by Experts 15:34 The Dark Enlightenment, Nick Land, and Curtis Yarvin 29:33 Tokenization and the End of Ownership 45:01 Why I Don’t Buy the Unified Field Theory 57:58 Why There Will Never Be a Sentient AI 01:02:13 The Printing Press Argument 01:09:29 Trump, JD Vance, and the Post-Liberal Right 01:38:13 Hope for the Future 01:50:32 God’s Sovereignty and Self-Interest

On Tuesday, Jeremy argued the populist right is selling a poison — that something was promised to you, that something was taken from you, that the only thing left to do is name the enemies who took it and destroy them. Tonight we’re taking that out of the philosophical and into the practical. We're six months from a midterm in a second-term presidency that the party in power usually loses by default. And the right has a problem that isn't new: we only know how to win by losing. We build careers out of being persecuted. We mistake martyrdom for strategy. We turn our defeats into the most glamorous parts of our politics. But you don't win that way. You only win by winning. And winning is unsexy. It looks like making the bed. It looks like persuading the voter who doesn't already agree with you. It looks like the slow, deeply unglamorous work of saving the country one choice at a time. I'm joined tonight by three sharp voices in conservative media: Graham Allen, host of Dear America and a former Pentagon digital comms lead; Jesse Arm, VP of External Affairs at the Manhattan Institute, who runs their polling shop and has been making the strategic case against the dissident right from inside the coalition; and our very own Joel Berry, senior producer at JBS, who spent seven years at the Babylon Bee and has been one of the most consistent Christian voices pushing back on the Tate / Fuentes wing of the dissident right. 00:00 Graham Allen Went Inside the Administration — Here's What He Found  01:43 How the Right Built a Business Model Around Losing  06:27 Tucker Is Still Running as a Loser — Even After We Won  08:56 The Babylon Bee Got Banned and It Was Great for Business  11:54 Why Democrats Keep Drifting Left of Their Own Voters  22:50 Gen Z Is Running on Vibes, Not Ideology  27:10 You Don't Have to Listen to Candace for Candace to Change Your Mind  33:01 Nick Fuentes Is a Cult Leader — And This Is Exactly How It Works  40:15 We've Arrested the Development of an Entire Generation  47:27 The Post-Religious Right Is Worse Than the Religious Right #TrumpChina #ThomasMassie #NYT #ConservativeMedia #Midterms2026 #GrahamAllen #JesseArm #JoelBerry

Last week, Christina Buttons told me our culture is "deeply biased against agency." She's right. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. The left has spent two decades teaching young people that they are prisoners of systemic forces too large to fight. The populist right has spent the last few years teaching the same people that they are victims of a stolen inheritance, robbed by enemies who must be named and destroyed. The packaging is different. The product is the same — the relief of not being responsible, and the warm, addictive feeling of having someone to blame. It is poison — for individuals, and for republics. In this monologue Jeremy gets into what agency actually means, why Tucker Carlson's recent attack on Ben Shapiro is a perfect window into what the populist right is selling, and why the data on human flourishing — from the Harvard Study of Adult Development to Raj Chetty's mobility research to Viktor Frankl's observations from the concentration camps — all points the same direction: the belief that your choices matter is one of the strongest predictors of whether your life goes well. Jeremy also gets into René Girard's scapegoat mechanism, why the rising antisemitism on both the left and the right has the exact shape Girard predicted, why every revolution premised on perfecting man has produced mass graves, and why Jordan Peterson's most-mocked piece of advice — clean your room — is the operational definition of agency. And Jeremy tells us what we actually do about it. Marry the right person. Go to church. Serve your community. Work hard. Refuse, every single day, to accept the role of the victim. The country is you and three hundred million other people who are each doing the same calculation about whether their own life is worth taking responsibility for. If enough of us decide it is, the country gets fixed. #Agency #TuckerCarlson #BenShapiro #JordanPeterson #Conservatism 00:00 — Agency: the most unfashionable idea in politics 01:14 — The Harvard Study, Raj Chetty, and the Shapiro–Carlson fight 06:35 — Learned helplessness and Viktor Frankl 09:44 — The left's victimhood and the right's victimhood 12:23 — René Girard, scapegoats, and where the playbook always ends 20:38 — The most important thing Jordan Peterson ever said 23:32 — The victim identity is a transfer of power 27:23 — The 1950s myth and "bad policy isn't an excuse for a bad life" 30:00 — Adam, Eve, and the original denial of agency 31:33 — Six rules to rule the world

When Christina Buttons was 30, she was diagnosed with autism — and felt immediate relief. The diagnosis explained her teenage mental health crises, her social difficulties, her sense that something about her was just "off." She joined the online autism community, started advocating, and built an identity around it. Then she started reporting on it. And what she found made her question the diagnosis itself. In this conversation, Christina walks through the broadening of the DSM criteria, the "female autism phenotype," social camouflaging, and how a clinical disorder became a social identity that almost anyone can adopt. We get into the pipeline from autism to gender dysphoria, why both diagnoses share the same demographic, and what happens to the kids with profound autism when the label expands to cover everyone. Then we go to California — where Gavin Newsom has restructured Medi-Cal so federal mental health dollars now fund housing, groceries, drum circles, and "radical inclusivity." Where schools have become psychiatric clinics. Where a 12-year-old can receive a diagnosis and ongoing therapy without their parents ever being told. And where the line between mental health treatment and progressive activism has been deliberately erased. Christina's reporting at City Journal and the Manhattan Institute is some of the most important work being done on this beat. This is one of those conversations you’ll think about for weeks afterward.

Last night Candace Owens dropped a 236-claim response video aimed at Jeremy. Tonight, Jeremy and the panel–featuring Shabbos Kestenbaum, Ami Kozak, and Billy Hallowell–unpack exactly why she did it that way — and why no amount of "evidence" she manufactures will ever satisfy the audience she's built. The trick isn't proof. It's preponderance. And it's the same trick Tucker Carlson is running, the same trick the groypers are running, and the same trick that 2010-era chain emails about Walmart concentration camps were running before any of these people had a microphone. Jeremy is joined by Billy Hallowell, CBN host, author of Fault Lines, and director of the new documentary CBN Supernatural; Shabbos Kestenbaum, the Orthodox Jewish Harvard antisemitism plaintiff and a Gen Z voice tracking the woke right from inside it; and Ami Kozak, the Jewish creator and culture critic who's been naming the conduct, not just debating the points. They get into Candace's 236-allegation gish gallop and why it's designed to be unanswerable; the "wine mom" cohort smearing Erika Kirk and inventing massage-tear conspiracies; Tucker Carlson as a "confusion artist" deliberately disorienting his viewers; the woke right vs. the woke left and why Gen Z men are the target market; Obama's institutional capture and Trump's permission structure for being our worst selves; why Jeremy fired Candace and would burn the company down to do it again; the "authority transfer" that happens when audiences catch institutions lying; the Afghan soldier who thought the moon was the size of a golf ball; Marco Rubio's surprisingly optimistic White House moment; the federal officials who briefed pastors on extraterrestrial "disclosure"; Jeremy's own unspoken supernatural experience; and why conspiracy theories are comfort food in a chaotic world. 00:00 “Hey guys!” 02:56 Candace's 236-Claim Response Video  19:07 The Wine Moms Smearing Erika Kirk  26:06 Why Gen Z Will Surprise Everyone  39:35 Obama Broke the Institutions, Trump Broke the Manners  52:38 "I Fired Candace.

When the Daily Wire laid off about fifty employees last week, Candace Owens told her millions of followers it was over fifty percent of the workforce. Then sixty. "Absolute bloodbath." None of it was true. But in 2026, lies are fast and the truth gets there last. Jeremy Boreing exposes a much bigger story behind the layoffs: we are now living inside an information environment that structurally rewards being first to a frame over being right about a fact, and that the personality-driven podcast economy has done nothing to fix the failures of legacy media. In many ways, it has made them worse. He walks through the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect; the actual journalistic codes on the books since 1924 that we've simply stopped following; the Obama-era pivot from truth-telling to change-making in the newsroom; Billy Wilder's 1951 film Ace in the Hole that saw the whole thing coming; Russiagate, the lab-leak theory, and the Hunter Biden laptop as the prelude; the rise of what he calls the "grift industrial complex" — where cynicism stops being a tool and becomes the thing you serve; Candace Owens's audacious public claim that the George Farmer arrested in Nashville is not her husband George Farmer; Tucker Carlson's Dominion lawsuit, his on-the-record willingness to lie when a lie helps him win, and his recent New York Times interview where he accused unnamed neoconservatives of "treachery" and admitted, on the record, that he couldn’t confirm what he was talking about; Gresham's Law of bad journalism driving out good; and Alcuin of York's eighth-century warning that the voice of the crowd is always close to madness. Not a defense of legacy media. Not a brief against new media. An argument that the answer to the failures of the institutions is to build better institutions — not to abandon the model of journalism altogether for crowd-sourced certainty — and that all of us, audiences and creators alike, have to be willing to question ourselves before we question the headline. 00:00 The Truth Behind the Daily Wire Layoffs  04:23 Gell-Mann Amnesia (and the Lies You’ve Heard About Me) 07:06 When Journalism Had Real Standards 13:02 Billy Wilder Saw This Coming in 1951 15:36 The Grift Industrial Complex 20:33 George Farmer's Arrest 22:19 Tucker Carlson's Casual Lies 25:35 Gresham's Law and the Path Forward

Anti-Zionism on the left and the right in America today is a kind of envy — envy of a country that still has permission to define itself, defend itself, and have a future. That's the opening claim Alana Newhouse makes to Jeremy Boreing in this two-hour conversation about Zionism, American identity, and the cultural project of believing in tomorrow. Jeremy sits down with Alana Newhouse — founder and editor-in-chief of Tablet Magazine, author of the breakout essays "Everything Is Broken," "Brokenness," and "Zionism for Everyone" — for a wide-ranging conversation that uses Israel as a lens for diagnosing what's wrong with America. They get into culture as a "mixing board" (race is loud in Japan, irrelevant in Israel — every culture calibrates differently); America's twin tethers of capitalism and covenant; the four questions Alana says every country has to be able to answer (are your people happy? do they have babies? can they defend themselves? are they future-oriented?); Tucker Carlson's truth-and-lie about Israel and the black pill industrial complex aimed at demoralizing Americans; the Artemis splashdown, the F-15 weapons officer rescue in Iran, and "what are the machines for?"; Alana's four-bucket framework for any institution (conserve, reform, destroy, build new); why she's drawn to leaders like Modi and Milei but skeptical of Orban and "Make America Great Again"; the original meaning of ethnos (it's not bloodline, it's the music a people make together); why anti-Semitism is a symptom and not a cause; and the fertility hiccup, the Gen X reckoning, and the case that creation itself is an act of optimism. Not a defense of Israeli policy. Not a brief against the contemporary right. A clinical, hopeful argument that the formula that built Israel — particularism plus pragmatism plus idealism — is exportable, and that the future belongs to whoever shows up to build it. 00:00 Anti-Zionism Is Just Envy 05:14 America's Twin Tethers — Capitalism and Covenant 12:22 The "Mixing Board" — Why Cultures Have to Be Different 25:17 The Zionism Formula and the 4 Questions Every Country Must Answer 31:59 What Tucker Carlson Got Wrong About Israel 36:30 The Black Pill Trap and the Lost Faith in the Moon Landing 45:00 Why Alana Built Tablet — Creation as an Act of Optimism 56:35 The Right's Failure on Social Media (and Why AI Is Next) 1:03:22 The 4 Buckets: Conserve, Reform, Destroy, Build New 1:21:39 When Ethnos Goes Wrong — and Why the Nation-State Still Wins 1:28:11 Modi, Milei, Orban — Looking for Joy in World Leaders 1:34:05 The Artemis Diver and the F-15 Rescue: "What Are the Machines For?" 1:46:09 Anti-Semitism Is a Symptom, Not a Cause 1:49:02 Fertility, Gen X, and the Hiccup We Have to Correct

Politics is entertainment now. So is the news. The Right finally figured out how to use that — and so did the grifters who came in right behind them. Jeremy is joined LIVE by Shawn Farash, Siaka Massaquoi, and Jon Lewis to discuss what the convergence of news, politics, and entertainment makes possible, what it costs, and how to tell the difference between the people doing the work and the ones cashing in.

Saturday night's third assassination attempt on Donald Trump produced a thirty-second video of Erika Kirk weeping and asking to go home — and split the country in two. Half saw a young widow retraumatized seven months after Charlie Kirk's public assassination. The other half decided she was performing. Same pixels. Two opposite perceptions. Like 2015's viral "Dress”—except what's implicated isn't visual perception. It's moral perception. Jeremy Boreing makes the case that the cruelty being directed at Erika Kirk is not "trolling." It is the natural, predictable output of a fifty-year cultural project that elevated, organized, monetized, and amplified toxic femininity — the negative feminine of gossip, exclusion, and reputational destruction — while systematically dismantling positive masculinity and every institution that previously held those instincts in check. The result is an emergent matriarchy that Candace Owens once called "hellish" — but Candace is now its main promulgator, running the most flagrant toxic-feminine pile-on in modern conservative media: a gnostic conspiracy ritual dressed up as a true crime docuseries called Bride of Charlie. Jeremy walks the data: women's self-reported happiness in continuous decline since the 1970s; the lowest U.S. fertility rate in recorded history; 70% of divorces initiated by wives, almost none for cause of abuse; female-majority institutions — K–12 education, HR, higher education — becoming dramatically less tolerant of dissent; the FIRE study showing male students are more tolerant of their political enemies than female students are of their own allies. He works through the literary archetypes — Medea, Jezebel, Lady Macbeth, Dolores Umbridge — and the academic research on relational aggression that confirms what those stories already knew. He names the men who've built the manosphere economy on the rubble (Andrew Tate, Dan Bilzerian) and explains why neither feminism's emergent matriarchy nor the trad movement's larped patriarchy is the answer. Not a call to disenfranchise women. Not a defense of toxic masculinity. An argument that the answer to a bad cultural project is the slow, voluntary recovery of complementary masculine and feminine virtues — and that wicked men can only ever be constrained by good men.   Chapters 00:00 The Video That Divided the Country 02:40 This Is the World Feminism Has Wrought 06:48 Medea, Jezebel, and the 6th Grade Slut Code  10:27 Fifty Years of Declining Female Happiness 13:07 70% of Divorces and the Christian View of Marriage 17:33 Dolores Umbridge in Power 20:18 No, Erika Did Not Kill Her Husband 24:19 Candace Owens and "Bride of Charlie" 29:22 You're Being a B*tch 32:54 Wicked Men, Good Men, and the Trad Movement LARP 36:03 A New Technology 38:15 Leave the Grieving Widow Alone #ErikaKirk  #JeremyBoreing  #JBS #CandaceOwens  #ToxicFemininity  #ToxicMasculinity  #Matriarchy  #Patriarchy  #Feminism #CharlieKirk  #BrideOfCharlie  #TPUSA  #Manosphere  #ChristianMarriage  #ConservativeMedia

Jeremy sits down with Lauren Southern — the woman who went viral on feminism and immigration as an impressionable 19-year-old, got permanently pigeonholed as alt-right, lived the trad wife life she'd been preaching, watched her marriage fall apart on the internet, and is now trying to figure out what Christianity looks like when public Christianity is almost entirely performance. Jordan Peterson twice told Jeremy he should hire her, but that never happened before Jeremy departed the company. This is their first conversation. They get into the “redemption arc industrial complex” and the cinematic Culture War universe. Whether anyone can actually be a Christian online. Why Jeremy thinks uploading your soul to the cloud is a category error, and what a night at a bar at 3 a.m. really tells you about a person (and what it does not). The two right-wing media spheres — Prager and Peterson as the example on one side, Shaffer and Tate and Milo on the other — and the symbiosis between them. Why Lauren found Destiny more honest than the “trad” friends cheating on their wives while posting Christ Is King. How conservatism became so graceless there's no path back for anyone who fails the trad life. Chinese spies, Russian honeypots, and the economy of paid tweets nobody sees.

Jeremy is joined by three men who've each built their work around a different answer to the same question: what does masculinity actually look like when it isn't being sold to you by manosphere grifters? John Lovell (Warrior Poets Society) brings a decade of teaching men to be fully warrior and fully poet. Gates Garcia (We The People) brings the view from college campuses and the millennial mirror. Pavel (Be a Man With Me) brings the voice of an immigrant who noticed something was missing from American masculinity— and occasionally carries a machete. They get into the manosphere and why Pavel calls it “porn for masculinity.”; toxic masculinity, toxic femininity, and the generation of Gen Z men caught between them; why men need male friends (and why your wife can't be one of them); the 15-degree phenomenon; Pavel's machete at the gas station; the institutional collapse that makes Gen Z the hardest generation in American history to date in; and the practical advice none of these guys are monetizing: ask a woman on a date, show up early to work, get off social media, and find out what “Till We Have Faces” actually means. 00:00 Introducing Pavel, Gates, and John — Three Actual Men 04:43 Warrior AND Poet: 100% Both, Not 50/50 10:08 How We Got Here — 9/11, MeToo, the iPhone, and Covid 14:00 Lion of Judah vs. “Gay Jesus” — How the Church Went Soft 20:23 Toxic Masculinity, Male Suicide, and the Silent Heroes 24:00 Why a Man Needs Male Friends (The Waitress Problem) 34:15 Sports, Wrestling, and the Missing Rites of Passage 42:00 Toxic Femininity Is the Bigger Problem — And the Paradox That Fixes It 48:40 Pavel, the Machete, and the Gas Station Story 01:04:30 Why Gen Z Actually Has It Worse Than Any Generation Before 01:12:26 The 15-Degree Phenomenon: Why Women Need to Look Up 01:18:30 Practical Advice: Ask Her Out, Show Up Early, Get Off Social Media

A lot of people believe they independently "woke up" to the truth about Israel, the Jews, and who really runs the world over the last two years. Jeremy Boreing makes the case that they didn't — they were sold a worldview using the same rhetorical machinery that's fueled every social contagion from eugenics to the population bomb to Covid-era hysteria. Using dozens of examples, Jeremy breaks down the specific techniques deployed by Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and the wider black-pilled online right: pre-suasion, presupposition, assertion stacking, asymmetric skepticism, authority transfer, and the manufactured feeling of "waking up" that hijacks real skepticism and turns it into religious conviction. Not a defense of Israeli policy. Not a claim that conspiracies don't exist.

James Lindsay — author, mathematician, and the man who coined the term "woke right" — joins Jeremy Boreing for a wide-ranging conversation on what's really happening inside the conservative movement. Is the cultural "immune system" of the right holding? Or has a subversive faction — what Lindsay calls the woke right — successfully dressed up leftist methodology in trad clothing and insinuated itself into MAGA? Jeremy and James dig into the methodology, the ontology, and the history: from Marx and Rousseau to Alfred Rosenberg's "Myth of the 20th Century," from Catholic integralism to Carl Schmitt's unbound executive, from the paradox of tolerance to the principle of reciprocal tolerance. Jeremy presses Lindsay on the question dividing the right: is he rooting out subversives, or is he burning down coalitions the movement can't afford to lose? They spar over Matt Walsh, Chris Rufo, Tucker Carlson, and JD Vance — and where the line sits between exposing bad actors and alienating potential allies. They also get into James's positive vision: a high-trust society, Federalist 51, divided powers, stewardship of power rather than the wielding of it, and why loving America — warts and all — is the only foundation a real coalition can be built on. And in a rare personal turn, James opens up about faith, agnosticism, the Book of James, and why he doesn't particularly want to be remembered.

JD Vance flies to Islamabad for the highest-level US-Iran talks in nearly fifty years. Trump blocks the Strait of Hormuz. And Joel Berry says the war is probably nowhere near over. Jeremy, Joel, Jon Lewis, and Ryan Chase also debate whether freedom can actually be exported, why Christians who disengage from politics have bad theology, the time Jeremy told a room full of progressive Christian do-gooders he was using government money to kill the gays, and why Project Hail Mary is a rebuke of everything Christian filmmakers are doing wrong. 00:00 Intro: Artemis Splashdown, Iran Ceasefire & Project Hail Mary  01:43 Is the Iran War Actually Over?  03:29 Trump's Strategy: Blocking the Strait of Hormuz  05:45 American Reassertion: Cuba, Venezuela & China  07:19 The Man in the Arena (The House Buying Analogy)  10:51 Congress Is Vestigial: The Problem with Governing by Executive Order  12:54 Trump's Legacy: Mopping Up Reagan's Evil Empire  14:13 Can You Actually Export Freedom?  17:41 Joel's Iraq War Story: Watching Saddam's Execution  20:05 Freedom Requires Institutions Built Over Generations  22:24 The Pilgrims Were Proto-Communists  27:33 Does the Constitution Shape People, or Do People Shape the Constitution?  29:04 The "Moral Decay" Psyop  33:23 Catholic Integralism and Left-Wing Economics  39:50 AI and the Next Attempt at Communism  41:14 "We Are the Joke": Humans Trying to Build Utopia  42:30 Jeremy's Restoration Theology Story  52:47 Eschatology: When End Times Theology Makes Christians Quit Politics  57:13 The Miracle of the Modern State of Israel  1:13:04 Does Jeremy Support Israel for Eschatological Reasons?  1:19:32 Project Hail Mary: A Rebuke of Christian Filmmaking  1:29:47 Q&A: Who Would You Have Dinner With?

Tucker Carlson calls on American soldiers to refuse orders from their Commander in Chief. Candace Owens demands the 25th Amendment: "He's a genocidal lunatic."

The number of new Catholic converts just hit a 20-year high, driven largely by young men searching for a faith with roots, authority, and tradition. But alongside this Catholic revival, something else is growing — something that calls itself Catholic but may not be: Catholic Integralism. Its proponents argue that the state must submit to the Church, that only baptized Catholics deserve full citizenship, and that the American founding — the Declaration, the Constitution, the separation of church and state — is heresy. James M Patterson is an associate professor of public affairs in the Institute of American Civics at the University of Tennessee's Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs. He's also a contributing editor at Law and Liberty. He's President of the Ciceronian Society, and he's an affiliated scholar for the Center for Religion, Culture and Democracy. He's written two books, Religion in the Public Square and the upcoming book Why Post Liberalism Failed. And they're not just in the academy. They're in the White House.

Jeremy Boreing is joined by biologist Colin Wright, Jacob of The Moderate Case, and Josh Carr for a Wednesday Live conversation that starts with a deceptively simple question — why are we addicted to despair when there's never been more reason for optimism? From there they cover the toxic economics of online outrage, the double-edged sword of anonymity, Trump's refusal to be a moral leader and what that vacuum has cost the right, the collapse of conservative institutions, and why victimhood on both left and right is best understood as a social contagion. In the back half, Jeremy turns the table on his younger guests with a frank warning about the slow, incremental compromises that turn principled voices into something unrecognizable. 0:00 - Intro: A Christian, an Atheist, and a Member of the LDS Walk In  1:19 - Why Are We Addicted to Despair?  8:19 - Online Anonymity: Protection or Poison?  18:17 - Trump's Moral Vacuum and the Collapse of Ideological Leadership  30:12 - How Conservatives Rebuild: Marriage, Institutions, and Culture  43:44 - The Victim Mentality Is a Social Contagion  1:07:06 - What Fame, Money, and Power Do to Young Influencers  1:26:03 - Leading Your Audience vs. Surrendering to It  1:31:37 - Preview: Why Should I Be Catholic?

Theo Von says "all of our f***ing money goes to Israel." Tucker Carlson says Bibi Netanyahu is "apparently in charge of the United States." And Candace Owens says Trump lives in a White House occupied by "Satanic Zionists." The message is everywhere — on social media, on the biggest podcasts, across the right: Israel controls America.

As the War in Iran rages, prominent voices on the American left and the American right are calling for a new global order, one where America shares power and responsibility with countries like China and Russia. But is multipolarity a path to  a safer, stronger America? And will the values of the multipolar world be Western values? Going from first place to a tie is called losing, and losing is exactly what the proponents of multipolarity really want for America.  Peter Savodnik joins us to discuss what American Primacy has bought us these last eighty years, and what we stand to lose should it end.  Chapters: 00:00 Introduction & Tucker Carlson Says America Should Share Power with China 02:38 Why Multipolarity Appeals to Both the Far Left and Reactionary Right 08:08 Donald Trump Believes America First Means America First Place 10:21 Iran’s Long War Against America 12:49 Trump’s Approach to Iran: Negotiation Backed by Strength 16:28 The Dangers of Multipolarity and Spheres of Influence 21:13 Guest Interview: Peter Savodnik on Pax Americana 24:11 What Has American Hegemony Bought Us 31:22 What a Multipolar World Would Actually Look Like 37:08 The Spiritual Malaise and What America Still Offers the World 45:15 China’s Vision vs. American Values 51:17 Is the War in Iran in America’s Interest? 57:02 The Normalization Bias and Iran’s Fanaticism 1:01:36 Civilizational Struggle and the Future of the West 1:04:02 The Podcast Wars and Divisions on the Right 1:07:16 Israel, Christian Worship & Optics in the Holy Land

The Jeremy Boreing Show is coming March 24, 2026 on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcast, Rumble, and everywhere podcasts are available. This show is for anyone who believes America is still worth fighting for. We’re going to sit down with the artists and visionaries, the newsmakers and the troublemakers who are shaping what comes next. Together, we're going to explore the stories the blackpillers and doomscrollers don't want you to know. We’re going to reject the premise that America is over, or that the West is over, or that Christianity is over, or that humans ourselves are over.   God didn’t make man to be replaced, and He didn’t give us freedom so we could subject ourselves again to slavery out of fear and anger and despair.  The future belongs to those who build it.  That is what we’re going to do, together.  Welcome to the Jeremy Boreing Show.
