Show Notes
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.

The generic ballot says Democrats by nine. The markets say there's a 90% chance they win. Rod D. Martin says Republicans can still pull it out — and it comes down to about four votes per precinct. With the midterms two weeks away, Jeremy Boreing sits down with early PayPal team member Rod D. Martin, Fixed Point Foundation founder Larry Alex Taunton, and Joel Berry, formerly of The Babylon Bee, to break down the path to winning the House, the fight to hold the evangelical coalition together, and what comes next for Trump, Iran, and the right.
Is Gen Z cooked? Jeremy Boreing doesn't think so, and his three Gen Z guests are a big reason why. On the third anniversary of October 7th, Jeremy sits down with Nevaeh Souza, Jacob Falach, and Josh Carr for a candid conversation about why so many young Americans feel the American dream has slipped out of reach, and what it will take to get it back.
Dallas Jenkins, creator and director of The Chosen, sits down with Jeremy Boreing one week after stepping off the set for the final time — 528 days of production over eight years. The two friends first met in Los Angeles more than a decade ago, before The Chosen or The Daily Wire existed. Now they talk about failure, surrender, ambition, and what it really costs to make art for an audience of millions.
The most advanced, most comfortable civilization in human history is choosing not to have children. The U.S. fertility rate is near 1.6, well under the 2.1 needed to replace a population. South Korea hit 0.72, the lowest ever recorded. Why is this happening, and can it be reversed?
