America's Occult Awakening: A Demon Expert, Former Psychic, & Journalist Explain | Weds LIVE Ep.54
The Jeremy Boreing ShowShow Notes
Feat. Dr. Richard Gallagher, Jenn Nizza, and Billy Hallowell
Three weeks ago on this show, Rod Dreher told us the story of the night he tried to help Tucker Carlson after a demonic encounter — four bleeding claw marks, two exorcists offered, help refused. Tonight we go further.
Vice President JD Vance says he doesn't think UFOs are aliens — he thinks they're demons. Nearly a third of Americans consult astrology, tarot, or a fortune teller every year. More than half of teenagers do. And at the same moment this conversation is opening up in serious ways, Candace Owens is running what looks like a demonically driven campaign against a grieving widow — claiming Charlie Kirk visits her in dreams, that the two of them practiced astral projection, and telling a viewer last week: "we are legion."
Something real is breaking open in American culture. The guardrails are nowhere.
Tonight, three guests who can actually tell the difference between spiritual warfare and a personality disorder:
DR. RICHARD GALLAGHER — board-certified psychiatrist, professor at New York Medical College, and the longest-standing American member of the International Association of Exorcists. He has personally evaluated more suspected possession cases than any other physician in the world. Author of "Demonic Foes" (HarperCollins, 2020).
JENN NIZZA — spent 25 years as a professional psychic medium, starting at age 13. Now warns audiences about the occult on The Ex-Psychic Saved Podcast. Author of "Darkness in Disguise," "Rescued from Demons," and more.
BILLY HALLOWELL — 20-year investigative journalist covering faith and the supernatural for CBN News. Director of the 2026 documentary "Investigating the Supernatural: Angels & Demons." Author of "Playing with Fire."
We cover: what separates a real demonic case from a psychiatric one; how psychic "accuracy" actually works; what happened when Tucker refused help; how Candace Owens is weaponizing spiritual language against Charlie Kirk's widow; why the American church went silent on the unseen world — and what to do about it.

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?
