Last night, Democrats took the House and the Senate. They flipped seven Republican Senate seats, including Kansas, which hadn't sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1932, and Texas flipped blue for the Senate and the governor's mansion for the first time in more than 30 years. Vivek Ramaswamy lost Ohio. Susan Collins lost Maine. And the President posted that he wasn't on the ballot, and if he had been, Republicans would have won in a landslide. On this live post-election edition, Jeremy Boreing breaks down what happened with Matt Shapiro, Erick Erickson, and Dr. Owen Strachan. Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ Jeremy opens with a monologue. The President spent the fall asking Republicans to "pretend I am on the ballot," he says, and voters treated the election as a referendum. He points to tariffs, an Iran war that never ended, the Trump family's business deals, and a corruption argument voters rated above the cost of living, then asks whether Republicans can win in 2028. His answer: stop putting our hope in princes. He also takes on the two-year demoralization campaign from the right's loudest voices, including Nick Fuentes's February message to skip the midterms, and cites exit-poll numbers on white evangelicals and young men. Then the panel: Matthias Shapiro, the data analyst behind Polimath and the Substack Marginally Compelling; Erick Erickson, host of The Erick Erickson Show and author of You Shall Be as Gods; and Dr. Owen Strachan, theologian, co-founder of One Gospel, and author of Christianity and Wokeness, The War on Men, and A Call to Cultivate. They take on Texas and the return of liberal Protestantism, young men and victimhood, whether the Iran war sank the Republicans, whether to vote for a bad candidate, the 2028 fields on both sides, antisemitism and the evangelical shift on Israel, and fatherlessness. Jeremy closes with a call to invest in the fatherless and to answer despair with agency.

Gary Sinise joins Jeremy Boreing for the most personal conversation of his public life: the five-and-a-half-year fight of his son, Mac Sinise, against chordoma, a rare spinal cancer, and the faith, family, and music that carried them through. Gary's new book, Graceful Warrior: The True Story of a Son, a Father, and a Family Who Carried Each Other Through, releases November 10, which is Mac's birthday. ► Order Gary's book, Graceful Warrior: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400208157 Most people know Gary Sinise from Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, CSI: NY, and Steppenwolf Theatre, and for decades of service to veterans and first responders through the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Lt. Dan Band. In 2018, Gary's wife, Moira, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Two months later, doctors found an orange-sized chordoma tumor on Mac's sacrum, one that may have been growing since birth. ► Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ Gary tells Jeremy why he chose to share such a private story, and why he insists it is not a cancer story. It is a story of perseverance, fatherhood, and what you hold onto when you fall flat on your face. They talk about the phone call where Mac asked, "Can I come home?" — the call that began his return to his Catholic faith, a father-son road trip, and a restored relationship. They discuss the victim mentality and personal agency, how a family pulls together through the loss of a child, and Gary's hard-earned view that "time heals all wounds" isn't true. The conversation also covers Mac's favorite line from St. Augustine, his confirmation by Bishop Robert Barron, and the music he left behind: the album Resurrection & Revival, recorded at Sunset Sound, and the more than 60 pieces Gary discovered after his death. Proceeds from the albums benefit the Gary Sinise Foundation.

What is suicidal empathy — and why does Dr. Gad Saad believe it is the single greatest threat to Western civilization? Jeremy Boreing sits down with the evolutionary behavioral scientist and bestselling author of Suicidal Empathy and The Parasitic Mind for a wide-ranging, two-hour conversation about empathy, reason, immigration, Islam, free speech, and whether the West still has the will to survive. Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ Gad Saad's story begins in Beirut. His family was one of the last Jewish families in Lebanon, and he lived through the first year of the Lebanese Civil War before they fled to Montreal when he was eleven. After years of threats and the post–October 7 climate at Concordia University, he left Canada for Mississippi, where he is now a professor at the University of Mississippi's Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom. At the heart of the conversation is Saad's thesis: empathy is a noble, adaptive trait, but like Aristotle's golden mean, too little or too much becomes dangerous. Suicidal empathy fires in the wrong situations and targets the wrong people, the way cancer cells divide without stopping. He traces the "parasitic ideas" behind it — cultural relativism, postmodernism, identity politics — back to the university campus. Jeremy brings a Christian anthropology, arguing the left promises the fruits of the Kingdom — "neither Jew nor Greek, neither male nor female" — while leaving out the "in Christ." Then he presses the hardest questions: how do we solve suicidal empathy without throwing out liberty? Where is the line on immigration? How should Americans talk about Islam without condemning the decent neighbor down the street? Is the First Amendment a suicide pact? Along the way: civilizational seppuku, the wood cricket whose brain is hijacked by a parasite, the red-green alliance heading into the midterms, honor-shame culture online, and the grooming gang scandals in Britain. It closes on a challenge: Saad sees a cure for the West's condition but little evidence the West wants to take it, and Jeremy argues that being born on third base in the freest nation in history comes with a responsibility, and a privilege, to fight for what's good.

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. Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ 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.

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. Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ The panel starts with the hard question: why is Gen Z so unhappy? Josh argues the root problem is a lack of duty, and shares how a two-year mission, marriage at BYU, and becoming a father reshaped his life. Jacob says Gen Z doesn't lack authority; it has misplaced it, trading fathers, pastors, and bosses for whoever wins the algorithm. Nevaeh describes the content young women see online: motherhood framed as enslavement, marriage as a trap, and a gender divide fueled on both sides by social media. Jeremy's The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is the #1 fantasy series on Amazon — watch it now on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0HFH7J5N3 Jeremy makes the case that the despair many young people feel is real but not fated. He talks about "destination vices" (pornography, gambling, and easy debt that once took effort to reach and now live in every pocket) and why the generational divide may run even deeper than the divide between the sexes. Drawing on the commandment to honor your father and mother and the principle of subsidiarity, he explains why the breakdown of the family leaves a free people without the tools to govern themselves. Along the way they get into why almost every adult over 30 would trade places with a 20-year-old, unplugging for the Sabbath, Charlie Kirk's example of telling young people what to do, the black pill, what Jeremy would tell a 21-year-old who blames his circumstances on someone else, the $20 burrito, a purple Geo Metro with spray-painted racing stripes, and how marriage and fatherhood drive success. In the final stretch, the panel turns to October 7th and how Gen Z's views of Israel have shifted over three years. The guests discuss rising hostility online, the "America First" vs. "Israel First" fight on the right, what Jeremy sees as an effort to fracture the evangelical coalition, and why he believes the West's greatest vulnerability is a loss of confidence in itself. "A country can't survive if it doesn't believe that it should," he says. Jeremy closes by asking his guests a simple question: am I overreacting? Their answers don't all agree. Whether you're in Gen Z, raising them, or trying to understand them, this is an honest and hopeful conversation about duty, faith, family, and the future of the American dream. Guests: Nevaeh Souza — YouTuber, podcast host, author, and co-author of the pro-life children's book Tiny Human Jacob Falach — Writer, podcast producer, and rapidly growing conservative influencer Josh Carr — Host of The Josh Carr Show and author of A New Cult: The Progressive Takeover of the West Chapters: (00:00:00) Is Gen Z Cooked?

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. Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ Before The Chosen became a global phenomenon, Dallas was a director who didn't want to be called a "Christian filmmaker." He tells the story of The Resurrection of Gavin Stone — a film backed by Blumhouse and WWE Studios that tested well and then bombed on opening weekend — and the night that changed everything: a 15-page memo written until 4 a.m. and a Facebook message from a near-stranger in Romania: "Your job is not to feed the 5,000. It's only to provide the loaves and fish." That line became the name of his company, 5&2 Studios. Jeremy's The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is the #1 fantasy series on Amazon — watch it now on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0HFH7J5N3 From there, Dallas walks through the unlikely origin of The Chosen: a short film shot behind a barn in Illinois, a crowdfunding campaign he expected to fail, and the COVID-era decision to give the show away for free. The two get into why neither man believes he "works for" the audience, how a council of biblical scholars, a Messianic Jewish rabbi, and a Catholic priest shape the show, and why success can be a spiritual danger. They also cover Christian ambition and narcissism, Dallas's 15-year pursuit of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and why online criticism no longer drives his decisions. And then the hardest question: after a decade of building Christian and conservative media, has any of it made a positive dent in the culture? Dallas also previews what's next: The Chosen Season 6 arriving in late 2026, Season 7 and a resurrection feature film planned for 2028, the Joseph of Egypt series with Prime Video, a three-season Moses series in development, and another greenlit project he can't announce yet. Along the way, Jeremy shares lessons from his own journey and the two remember the late Andrew Breitbart, who believed in both of them before anyone else did. Whether you've watched every episode of The Chosen or you're a creator wrestling with ambition, failure, and faith, this is a candid look at what it means to bring your loaves and fish — and leave the multiplication to God.

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? Jeremy Boreing sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Debra Soh, sociologist Dr. Brad Wilcox, and economist Dr. Catherine Pakaluk to dig into the biology, the ideology, and the policy behind the birth dearth, and what it would take to turn it around. They cover why people stopped pairing up, marrying, and having kids, the "fertility gap" between the families women want and the families they actually have, what the sexual revolution did to family formation, Hungary's pro-natalist experiment and what worked and what didn't, why religious families are the one group still having children, the tragedy of abortion, and whether there's any government or cultural path back to replacement-level fertility.

Where do the Jews belong? This summer, Jordan Peterson posted a simple reminder about the term "Judeo-Christian": the Ten Commandments are Jewish, the great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish, and Christ Himself was a Jew. Parts of the online right pushed back immediately — Dale Partridge insisted the Old Testament isn't Jewish, Jack Posobiec said this isn't what Christians believe. It looked like a debate about theological vocabulary. It pointed to something much older and much darker. In this monologue, Jeremy traces the return of the so-called Jewish Question, the "JQ" — from Britain's 1753 Jewish Naturalization Act, through 19th-century racialized antisemitism and Hitler's "Final Solution," to the algorithm-driven online spaces where a generation of young Americans came of age during COVID lockdowns. At the center is what Jeremy calls the Nowhere Doctrine: five doors — the Old Testament, the New Testament, America, Europe, and Israel — that antisemites on the left, the right, and in Hamas are trying to close on the Jewish people. Jeremy responds directly to claims from Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Dale Partridge, and closes with a word to young Christians from Romans 11: "It is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you." This episode discusses antisemitism, the Holocaust, and terrorism for the purpose of education and rebuttal. Quoted claims are presented in order to refute them. ►Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ ►Jeremy's The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is the #1 fantasy series on Amazon — watch it now on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0HFH7J5N3 Chapters: (00:00:00) "Christ Himself Was a Jew" (00:04:50) Young Evangelicals, COVID & the Algorithm (00:08:55) Door 1: The Old Testament (00:14:12) Door 2: The New Testament (00:19:44) Door 3: America (00:24:04) Heritage Americans, "Unassimilable" & Stalin (00:27:36) Doors 4 & 5: Europe, Israel & Tucker's DNA Test (00:31:34) The Nowhere Doctrine & the Khazar Myth (00:33:57) Holocaust Revisionism, Hamas & "From the River to the Sea" (00:39:12) The Root That Supports You Learn more about your ad choices.

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. After Jeremy's conversation with Blake Neff, longtime producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, the internet exploded. Blake was twenty feet from his friend when Charlie was murdered at UVU. On that episode, he spoke with clarity and conviction about the conspiracy theorists profiting off Charlie's assassination, and about the price of free speech. Tonight, Jeremy opens the show standing with Blake and explaining why it's essential for the good guys to fight evil relentlessly. From there, the conversation turns to three entrepreneurs who aren't just complaining about the culture — they're building companies that change it: Jennifer Sey, Founder & CEO of XX-XY Athletics, walked away from the presidency of the Levi's brand rather than stay quiet, then built a seven-figure athletic brand in eight months on one principle: biology is real.

He wrote for Tucker Carlson. He was Charlie Kirk's producer. He was standing 20 feet from Charlie Kirk at UVU when he was assassinated. Now, he's breaking his silence. Blake Neff sits down to talk about what actually happened in Charlie's final days, why he believes Candace Owens knows exactly who killed his friend, and how Tucker Carlson went from mentor to someone Blake says is enabling the worst conspiracy theories in modern conservative media. Neff walks through the private phone call with a rabbi that conspiracy theorists have twisted into "proof" of a cover-up, the text messages Candace Owens misread as a death threat, the overwhelming evidence against Tyler Robinson, and the "Daddy's Home" Shabbat tradition Candace mocked even after being shown it was real. He also opens up about his own 2020 cancellation from Fox News and why he thinks conservative leaders have a moral obligation to call out lies inside their own coalition — even when it costs them relationships.

25 years after 9/11, a quarter of Americans believe their own government was behind the attack — and the "forever war" critique has spread from the far left to the mainstream right. Jeremy Boreing takes on both lies: first dismantling the conspiracy theories from Alex Jones, Candace Owens, and Owen Shroyer with the actual documentary record (the 9/11 Commission Report, bin Laden's own confession, the money trail, the flight schools) — then turning to Tucker Carlson's claim that America's response to 9/11 was itself the real crime, tracing the war between the West and radical Islam back 1,400 years to the Battle of Yarmouk in 636 AD, through Tours, the Crusades, the fall of Constantinople, the Barbary pirates who enslaved American sailors before the Constitution was even ratified, and the decades of attacks — Beirut, Lockerbie, the first WTC bombing, Khobar Towers, the embassy bombings, the USS Cole — that preceded September 11th. What emerges is a very different account of what "forever war" actually means — and why the loudest voices declaring it over might be the last people who should be trusted with that verdict. ► Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ ► Jeremy's The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is the #1 fantasy series on Amazon — watch it now on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0HFH7J5N3 Chapters: (00:00:00) 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Go Mainstream (00:03:06) What We Actually Know About the Hijackers (00:09:13) The Case Against the Conspiracy Theorists (00:13:25) The Real War Started in 636 AD (00:21:15) Bin Laden's Declarations of War (00:24:13) The West Stopped Competing (00:30:58) Why the West Needs a Cause Again Learn more about your ad choices.

Is AI going to kill us all by the end of the decade? A former Anthropic researcher thinks so, and his viral thread has 172 million views. Elon Musk thinks it's a setup. Anthropic's own CEO is calling for government regulation. And President Trump says the whole thing is a hoax cooked up by China to slow us down. Jeremy is joined by retired Army Colonel and trial lawyer Kurt Schlichter, rapper and Oxford-trained computer scientist Zuby, and theologian Nathan Finochio to sort through the AI panic — and to figure out whether regulatory capture, not extinction risk, is the real story here. From there the conversation opens up into everything from the death of rock and roll under Obama, to why the West has stopped believing it has a mission the way Israel, Russia, and China do, to the making of The Pendragon Cycle and why beauty, color, and aspiration still matter in art. Plus: the growing political gender gap between young men and women, why shame culture might be worth bringing back, and what it actually means to be a good man in a culture that keeps telling you not to try. ► Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ ► Jeremy's The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin is the #1 fantasy series on Amazon — watch it now on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0HFH7J5N3 Chapters: (00:00:00) AI Doomsday Panic & Regulatory Capture (00:16:43) AI as Gnostic "Secret Knowledge" (00:27:38) AI, Art & the Coming War With Machines (00:49:04) Feminization & the Consensus Society (00:59:29) Obama's Legacy & Kurt's War Department Controversy (01:15:33) The Pendragon Cycle: Rejecting Nihilism (01:37:31) Every Civilization Has a Mission Except the West (02:03:17) Sydney Sweeney, Modesty & Beauty Standards (02:13:17) Diversity, Meritocracy & Closing Learn more about your ad choices.

Frank Turek was Charlie's friend and mentor. They shared one mission: to bring the gospel to college students. One year ago today, Frank was standing next to Charlie Kirk on the campus of Utah Valley University when he was murdered. He rode with Charlie's body to the hospital. He has spent the year since defending Erika Kirk, TPUSA, and his own name against a flood of conspiracy theories — chiefly from Candace Owens. In this conversation, Frank returns to the show to talk through the last conversation he had with Charlie two nights before he died, why he's more convinced than ever of the reality of evil and demonic activity, and what actually happened in the vehicle on the way to the hospital — including why eyewitness discrepancies aren't evidence of a cover-up. He also opens up about Erika Kirk's grief and leadership of TPUSA, what she told him in the hospital hallway, and why forgiveness and civil justice aren't in conflict — plus what Christians get wrong about "turning the other cheek." Frank and Jeremy also get into Charlie's private frustration with certain donors over Israel and why it was never what people now claim, Tucker Carlson and antisemitism, and a full, plain explanation of the Christian gospel — because too many Christian words have stopped meaning anything to the people who use them. They take on the conspiracy industry that's grown up around the assassination: why Candace Owens' "receipts" are exactly the kind of eyewitness discrepancies a cold-case detective would expect to find, why the exploding-mic theory would require thousands of people to be in on it, and why the defense in the Tyler Robinson pretrial hearings isn't disputing any of it. Plus: whether Erika Kirk can forgive her husband's killer and still pursue the death penalty, what Romans 13 actually says about government and vengeance, why pastors abandoned the public square — and what Charlie's "Blessed are the peacemakers" moment taught a man twice his age.

China's central bank just bought more gold in a single month than it has in nearly three years — its 22nd consecutive month of buying, at record prices. They're not doing it because gold is cheap. They're doing it because they've made a decision about what the next hundred years looks like. Support the show and shave with a company that doesn't hate you: https://www.jeremysrazors.com/ Do we act like a civilization that plans to be here in twenty years? Or are we living through our own version of Rome's slow fade? Jeremy Boreing sits down with three guests who take that question seriously: historian Jeremy Ryan Slate (host of The Roman Pattern), Oxford classicist Spencer Klavan (host of Young Heretics, author of "How to Save the West"), and Daily Wire columnist Stephen Kent (co-founder of Geeky Stoics, author of the upcoming "Great Escape"). Was Rome saved by Christianity, or by Constantine's gold standard? Is Stoicism a ladder toward meaning or a ceiling under it? And is Western decline a cycle we're doomed to ride out, or a choice we can still make differently?

Mark Driscoll built one of the most influential — and most infamous — pulpits in American evangelicalism, preaching a version of Christian masculinity that filled Mars Hill Church before it became a cautionary tale that's still shaping how the church talks about strength, leadership, and accountability today. The Jeremy Boreing Show interviewed Mark this week, causing considerable controversy online. On this episode of Wednesday Live, Jeremy Boreing sits down with former Babylon Bee Managing Editor Joel Berry, pastor, cultural commentator, and Boreing Media President Jon Lewis, and Executive Producer Alyssa Cordova to ask the harder question behind the Driscoll story: What does Christian leadership really look like, and can the church even recognize it anymore? The conversation ends with Jeremy's new Prime Video series The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin (the #1 fantasy series in the US and the UK) and the argument that conservatives are good at complaining and bad at building. From there, the vandalism of the West's founding myths, and whether modern Evangelicalism has what it takes to lead.
