Can Republicans Still Win the Midterms? Rod D. Martin & Larry Alex Taunton | Weds LIVE Ep. 67
The Jeremy Boreing ShowShow Notes
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.

Jeremy opens with the administration's run of wins and why it still doesn't feel like winning, then makes the case that the West is throwing away its Christian inheritance and that the evangelical vote has always been the firewall. From there the panel covers why the polls may be oversampling Democrats, why conservatives shouldn't put their faith in princes, "no enemies to the right" and the case for a Christian state, who really broke virtue in America, social proof and the border as a moral issue, the argument for getting your neighbors to vote, what happens if Republicans lose the House, whether Trump is a moral leader, and what comes next in Iran. Jeremy's closing charge: it's not our job to run away from the future. It's our job to go build it.

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?
Tonight Jeremy responds to Candace Owens's claim that he's "obsessed" with her — before sitting down with three business leaders who've decided that calling out evil isn't enough. You have to build the alternative.
