Show Notes
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.

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?
