Since Jeremy Boreing launched the new program bearing his name last month, it has had one primary topic. The theme, or main point of his new show, as best as anyone can tell, is that Israel is very, very good and its critics are bad. His first episode brought Dennis Prager, who argued that supporting Israel is the defining moral test of Western civilization, and that it’s immoral for an American to only support America. Episodes 3 and 5 both featured figures whose public roles are defined by their support for Israel, including Seth Dillon and Joel Berry, with the former having serious questions to answer about his honesty in the days following Charlie Kirk’s death, having first denied tension with Kirk over Israel or knowing about his misgivings, and since has had to reluctantly admit it when left no choice. Episode 4’s main purpose was to argue that “America First” requires placing Israel atop our list of national concerns. And Episode 6 dropped the subtext entirely, spending twenty-six minutes telling you that the people noticing Israeli influence in American politics are grifters running a coordinated demoralization campaign. From start to finish, The Jeremy Boreing Show has had one primary message: Israel is good, and Israel’s critics are bad. Actually, more evil than just bad.
Boring is a man of many enterprises, many of them bearing his name or having his personality loom large over them. He’s the co-founder and former CEO of The Daily Wire, the billion-dollar conservative media company he built alongside Ben Shapiro, one of the most aggressive pro-Israel voices in the English-speaking world. He is the creator of Jeremy’s Razors, a subscription shaving brand he launched in 2021 as a protest against Harry’s Razors pulling its Daily Wire advertisements. He is the founder of Jeremy’s Chocolates, launched in 2023 as a protest against Hershey’s featuring a transgender woman in an advertisement, because the culture war will not fight itself, and the margins on candy are reportedly decent. He is the director and executive producer of what has widely been heralded as a vanity project no one else wanted, The Pendragon Cycle, an Arthurian television series filmed in Hungary that reportedly consumed a sum of money large enough to make Daily Wire’s accountants cry, and which industry observers have speculated played a meaningful role in whatever actually happened between Boreing and the company he co-founded before his quiet exit in early 2025.
But before he was a razor, chocolate, and B-movie mogul, he got his professional start at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a pro-Israel dark money operation that literally ran a program called the Israel Security Project. Horowitz is the same organization that employs Josh Hammer, the window-licking, mouth-breathing idiot who accused Tucker Carlson of peddling Nazi conspiracy theories for implying Israel has incredible influence over President Trump before bragging - in that same attempted “Tucker take-down” article - that Israel does indeed have incredible influence over Trump. As we wrote about at the time, Hammer swooped in to defend Mike Huckabee for backing the Greater Israel WWIII fever dream in Tucker’s interview, before divulging that the President of the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem marched into the Oval Office to demand POTUS reel in Tucker, and that POTUS then attempted to reel in a U.S. journalist at Israeli request. It was as though the article hadn’t first been reviewed for gratuitous self-refutation.
I was preparing to absolutely savage Boeing’s recent diatribe in a point-by-point refutation, the same way I gutted and left Hammer’s article for dead. But, as I was preparing to do so, I noticed something…they’re the same piece of propaganda. I’m not saying they’re similar. I’m saying I think Hammer wrote it, or that whatever Israeli wrote Hammer’s article from the Horowitz Center did. They’ve got the same fingerprints. An author who spends years reviewing the written word and producing it, someone like myself, knows someone’s work when I see it. This is the same work.
When you lay out Josh Hammer’s Israeli-paid propaganda from the David Horowitz Center, and Jeremy Boering’s recent diatribe from his new program, it becomes apparent right away. They’re the same piece. One written, and one spoken. They cover the same material. They’re written the same way. They have the same outline, the same flow, the same analogies and illustrations. And it hit me, as it will hit you too, these were likely written by the same people. The same authorial DNA is on both. And honest-to-God, I think Jeremy Boering had an Israeli think-tank write his monologue, attempting to convince Americans that Israel doesn’t exert impressive influence over American culture and politics. That would be killer irony, right?
Now, I am well aware that I cannot prove that. Boreing has not confirmed it, and let’s be honest, he’s not going to. But here is what I can prove, and what you can verify yourself in about fifteen minutes of public record searching. Josh Hammer joined the David Horowitz Freedom Center as a Shillman Fellow in January 2026. Jeremy Boreing built his early career at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, where he served as managing editor of TruthRevolt alongside Ben Shapiro, who was editor-in-chief, before the two left to found The Daily Wire. The David Horowitz Freedom Center runs, among its many projects, something called the Israel Security Project. Hammer’s piece on Tucker and Boreing’s piece on Tucker make the same argument, in the same order, using the same rhetorical structure, reaching the same conclusions, about the same people. One was written by a paid Shillman Fellow of a pro-Israel institution. The other was delivered by a man whose career was built inside that same institution. You are an adult. You can do the math. And if somehow both men arrived at structurally identical arguments entirely independently, then what Boreing produced is, by any honest measure, indistinguishable from documented Israeli institutional propaganda. That is not an accusation. That is a description.
With that established, let us do what we came here to do.
BOREING OPENS BY POISONING THE WELL
Before Jeremy Boreing engages a single verifiable factual claim, he does what every practiced deflector does as his very first move. He names his opponents grifters. Tucker Carlson, Dave Smith, Theo Von (seriously? he’s a national treasure), and others who have raised questions about Israeli influence over American policy are not engaging in legitimate inquiry or operating in an honorable, non-interventionist tradition that has always had a legitimate seat at the American political table. They are, per Boreing, a “grift industrial complex” pushing a “blackpill” narrative engineered to convince Americans they are powerless and hopeless and should simply give up.
The framing is elegant in its dishonesty because once the audience accepts it, any subsequent argument about Israeli influence is not evidence of Israeli influence but proof that you have been successfully grifted. Boreing has constructed a hermetically sealed, unfalsifiable loop before uttering one verifiable sentence.
This is the identical move Josh Hammer made. Hammer did not engage Tucker’s substance. He called Tucker a Nazi (and the Biblical Haman, who tried to genocide the ancient Hebrews) and repeated it with the rhythmic insistence of a man who believed that repetition would eventually function as evidence. Boreing has updated the nomenclature from Nazi to grifter, which is marginally more defensible legally and considerably less honest intellectually, because at least the Nazi accusation is specific enough to be falsified. Grifter is a floating charge that attaches wherever the speaker needs it to attach. Same play. Same target. Same institutional address on the return label.
Tucker Carlson ran the most-watched cable news program in American history and now has what is easily the most listened-to political podcast in the world. Dave Smith is a libertarian non-interventionist operating within a tradition with an honorable and documented American pedigree (long live Ron Paul). Theo Von is a comedian with the personality of a golden retriever and the haircut of an assistant weekend trailer park supervisor who repeated something on the world’s most listened-to podcast that a significant and growing percentage of Americans believe because they have been watching American foreign policy with their own eyes for twenty-five years. Boreing’s response to all of them is not an argument. It is a classification. He sorts them into the grifter bin, closes the lid, and presents the sorting as analysis. It is a rhetorical move so intellectually cowardly that it deserves to be called out as sub-intellectual popcockery.
There is also something cosmically rich about Jeremy Boreing, a man who turned a razor brand and a chocolate company into culture-war revenue streams, accusing others of profiting from a narrative. Every conservative grievance is a product line with Boreing. Harry’s pulled its ads, and he made razors. Hershey’s ran a trans ad, and he made chocolate. And now Israeli influence skepticism is the hill he has apparently chosen to defend for free, out of pure disinterested patriotism, from a leather couch, on a podcast he just launched. The selflessness is staggering.
THE AIPAC MYTH ABOUT THE AIPAC MYTH
Boreing’s central factual argument is that AIPAC is simply Americans lobbying with American money, that it does not even rank as the largest foreign policy lobby, and that the entire premise of outsized Israeli financial control over American politics is therefore too absurd to take seriously. This argument is constructed so precisely around its omissions that it functions less as analysis than as a magic trick. Watch the hand that is not moving.
On the money: AIPAC and its super PAC, the United Democracy Project, spent nearly $127 million combined during the 2023 to 2024 election cycle, making it by a considerable distance the largest PAC contributor to members of Congress in that cycle. When progressive Representative Jamaal Bowman voted in ways that displeased the Israel lobby, AIPAC deployed over $14 million to destroy him in a single Democratic primary, setting a record for outside spending on a single House race in the history of American elections. Boreing’s claim that AIPAC is not the biggest lobby depends entirely on comparing its domestic PAC and super PAC spending to registered foreign government lobbying expenditures under FARA, which is a category error so fundamental it would embarrass a first-year political science student. It is like arguing your neighbor is not actually wealthy because his checking account balance is lower than a Fortune 500 company’s quarterly earnings. The categories do not overlap, and a man who spent a decade running a billion-dollar media company knows they do not overlap.
On the “just Americans” argument: AIPAC’s predecessor organization, the American Zionist Council, was ordered by Robert Kennedy’s Justice Department in 1962 to register as a foreign agent after it was caught funneling millions from Israel’s Jewish Agency into American lobbying operations. Rather than comply, its director, Isaiah Kenen, dissolved the organization and relaunched it as AIPAC the following year, specifically constructed to escape FARA registration requirements. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is documented history. The organization Boreing is defending was literally built as a legal vehicle to evade foreign agent disclosure law, and the question of whether it should register under FARA has been raised by United States senators, foreign policy analysts, and legal scholars for six uninterrupted decades without resolution. Israel’s own Justice Ministry, in documents leaked in 2018, explicitly discussed routing Israeli government funds through American nonprofits to avoid FARA registration, with legal advisers recommending informal coordination mechanisms, including oral meetings, to maintain Israeli government control without triggering disclosure requirements. Boreing did not mention any of this, presumably because whoever handed him the script did not include it.
We just saw six weeks ago - and I reported on - American activists from the top 50 American-Israeli lobbying organizations (AIPAC was only one of 50, so think about the sheer scale) meeting in Israel, with Benjamin Netanyahu - a foreign head of state - coordinating their messaging and their cooperation with the Israeli government. This was on camera. He told them go home and “wage war” against any fellow American daring to call Gaza a genocide. This fits the definition of foreign lobbying, or as the FARA guidelines state, lobbying “on behalf of or in cooperation with a foreign state.”
BOREING EXPLAINS AWAY HISTORY
Boreing’s second major argument is that American wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the broader Middle East were responses to direct attacks on the United States and had nothing to do with Israeli strategic interests. Iraq and Afghanistan were about September 11th, about Al Qaeda, about Osama bin Laden, and Israel had nothing to do with it. This argument has the advantage of being partially true, which is the most dangerous species of false argument in existence, because the partial truth functions as a shield for the part that is not true.
Afghanistan was a direct response to Al Qaeda’s operational use of Taliban-controlled territory to plan and execute the September 11th attacks, and the case for that war does not require Israeli fingerprints to make sense on its own terms. But Iraq is a categorically different matter, and Boreing knows it is a categorically different matter, which is why he treats both wars as interchangeable. The architects of the Iraq War, including Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, and Richard Perle, were members of the Project for the New American Century and had previously authored a 1996 policy document prepared directly for the Israeli government (for Netanyahu personally), titled A Clean Break, which explicitly recommended the removal of Saddam Hussein as a strategic priority for Israel’s regional security.
The Israeli government was publicly and enthusiastically in favor of the Iraq invasion in ways its officials expressed openly and American journalists documented contemporaneously. Netanyahu wrote appeals for war as op-eds in American newspapers. And that entire misguided venture was the cause of falsified intelligence obtained from Israel (not merely false, but falsified). The vast amount of Israeli lobbying done for war against Iraq was only slightly muted by the fact that Israel lobbies us extensively for war with different nations, literally all the time. Noting these facts is not antisemitism. It is history. Boreing did not mention any of it.
TRUMP IS NOBODY’S PUPPET, ALLEGEDLY
The argument that it is “absurd” to suggest Donald Trump is controlled by Israel is absurd itself, when you take into account Trump’s own words. Miriam Adelson is an Israeli-born dual citizen whose late husband, Sheldon Adelson, explicitly stated he regretted serving in the American military instead of the Israeli military and wished he had served in the IDF. Miriam poured over $100 million into electing Donald Trump in 2024 through her Preserve America super PAC, making her the single largest donor to his presidential campaign by a significant margin. At the 2025 AIPAC Congressional Summit, AIPAC’s own CEO Elliott Brandt stood at a podium and bragged that his organization had cultivated influence with three top national security officials in the Trump administration. Marco Rubio, Trump’s Secretary of State, collected over a million dollars in AIPAC contributions during his Senate career. When Trump addressed the Israeli Knesset in October 2025, he pointed to Adelson in the gallery and informed the assembled Israeli parliament that he had personally asked her whether she loved the United States or Israel more and that she had refused to answer. The sitting President of the United States said this in a foreign parliament and appeared to find it charming. And as we documented in our piece on Hammer, an Israeli operative named Yoram Hazony lobbied Trump directly in January 2025 to silence Tucker Carlson’s criticism of Israeli foreign influence operations, after which Trump summoned Carlson to the White House and told him to knock it off. Twice. Boreing would like you to find the puppet theory not just wrong but laughable. It’s not laughable, because it’s come from Trump’s own mouth, and Josh Hammer. But those are only two incidents in which it’s been admitted. There are hundreds.
WHAT AMERICA GETS AND WHAT AMERICA GIVES
Boreing’s section on the strategic value of the alliance is the most substantive portion of the video, and cites intelligence sharing, military and technological cooperation, UN voting alignment, and a recent Easter rescue operation in which Israel allegedly halted operations and struck targets to assist the recovery of a downed American airman over Iranian territory. These are real things. Intelligence cooperation between the United States and Israel is genuine and has produced genuine value. Clearly, Mossad is going to give us valuable information that benefits Israel. Obviously, Israel is our best military ally in the wars they drag us into. We are not in the business of pretending the alliance produces nothing.
What is actually being argued about is not whether the alliance produces any value at all. It is whether the return makes sense at the price being charged, and whether that price is set by American strategic calculation or by something else. Since October 7, 2023, the United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in direct military aid to Israel, not counting the tens of billions in related American military operations including the June 2025 twelve-day war between Israel and Iran during which the United States fired over 150 THAAD interceptors and more than 80 SM-3 missiles to defend Israeli territory, at a cost so staggering that the Pentagon’s own replacement budget covered only a fraction of the expended munitions. Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of American foreign aid since its founding, having received over $300 billion in inflation-adjusted total assistance. When Trump froze foreign aid to virtually every country on earth in January 2025, Israel was explicitly exempted. Boreing frames all of this as a little brother relationship built on shared values and mutual benefit. The mechanism that ensures the checks keep arriving regardless of which party controls Washington, and which no other ally on earth enjoys at a remotely comparable scale, is precisely what Boreing spent twenty-six minutes assuring you does not exist in any meaningful form.
THE PART BOREING FORGOT TO MENTION
Here is what a twenty-six-minute video about Israeli influence over American policy somehow could not find twenty-six seconds to address. Israel’s Foreign Ministry is currently running the largest documented foreign influence operation in American conservative and evangelical media in recorded history, and unlike campaign donations, some of it is actually registered under FARA, all of it sitting publicly on the Department of Justice website for any interested citizen to read at their leisure. Brad Parscale, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, registered his firm Clock Tower X as a foreign agent of the Israeli government in September 2025, committing to produce 100 core content pieces per month with 5,000 variations targeting 50 million monthly impressions, with 80 percent of that content aimed at Americans under 30 through TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, distributed primarily through Salem Media’s 200-plus conservative Christian radio stations and websites. The contract is worth $6 million. That’s a federal filing on the DOJ’s own website.
A firm called Bridges Partners simultaneously registered to run the Esther Project, a code-named influencer network paying social media personalities approximately $7,000 per post to produce pro-Israel content without audience disclosure. A firm called Show Faith by Works registered to execute what its own pitch documents describe as the largest Christian church geofencing campaign in American history, tracking the mobile devices of worshippers inside church boundaries during worship hours across California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado, targeting an estimated eight million churchgoers and four million Christian college students with messaging its own documents describe as pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian.
All of it is coordinated by Eran Shayovich, Chief of Staff at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who runs what Israel internally calls Project 545. Project 545 explicitly targets evangelical Christians under 30 who do not remember September 11th, works to counter replacement theology among American Christians, and, according to its own operational documents, includes efforts to train AI language models on pro-Israel content and manipulate search engine results so that Americans researching the conflict encounter Israeli government preferred narratives first. This is not a theory. This is a FARA-registered, taxpayer-funded foreign government operation targeting American Christians in their church parking lots, on their phones, in their search results, and in their podcasts.
Jeremy Boreing produced a twenty-six-minute video about whether Israel influences America and did not mention one syllable of any of this. The man who spent twenty-six minutes calling Tucker Carlson a grifter could not find six seconds to mention that Israel’s own Foreign Ministry filed paperwork with the United States Department of Justice confirming it is spending millions of dollars per month to reshape what American Christians believe, inside their own sanctuaries, on their own phones, through their own pastors. Boreing knows how to use the internet. He built one of the most-trafficked conservative media companies in the country. The omission is not carelessness. It is the whole point.
THE GRIFT INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, PROPERLY IDENTIFIED
Boreing closes on stirring American optimism. “America controls its own destiny. Reject the blackpill. The grifters want you to feel powerless, and you must not let them win.” Ra-ra-ra. It is rousing, well-delivered, and produced by a man who spent a decade building a billion-dollar, aggressively pro-Israel operation inside the institutional ecosystem he is now assuring you barely exists. It is Hammer’s same exact closing move with the serial numbers filed off. Hammer ended his anti-Tucker piece by warning that Tucker would destroy the American Right and, with it, America itself, before declining to mention he was a World Zionist Congress delegate candidate who had pledged on video to use transnational Zionist institutional funding to reshape Western conservative politics. Boreing ends his piece calling everyone else a grifter before declining to mention that he got his start working for an Israel-funded think-tank singularly devoted to maximizing Israeli influence in the United States, co-founded a billion-dollar media organization that gives Israel a billion dollars’ worth of free advertising value, and likely had his last monologue handed to him by that same organization that produced Hammer’s closing statement.
JEREMY’S RAZOR
Maybe that is a coincidence. Maybe two men who grew from the same pro-Israel institutional tree independently arrived at structurally identical propaganda in the same news cycle. It is a free country, and opinions are not illegal, and we are not in the business of claiming what we cannot prove. What we are in the business of saying, clearly and without apology, is this: if you cannot tell the difference between Jeremy Boreing’s independent commentary and documented Israeli government institutional propaganda, that is the damned problem. And that’s a problem Boreing says doesn’t exist, and you’re a crazy grifter if you think it does.
Occam’s Razor holds that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. It is a useful tool. It cuts through the noise, strips away the elaborate alternative theories, and leaves you with what is most likely true given the available evidence. Jeremy’s Razor, the epistemological principle on display in this twenty-six-minute video, exists to perform a different function entirely. Where Occam’s razor cuts to the simplest explanation, Jeremy’s razor is specifically engineered to do the opposite. It’s designed to make you think that everyone noticing Israel’s sizable influence in the American political system is just imagining it, secretly conspiring, making it up, or is full of antisemitic hate and harboring secret Nazi ideation. It’s quite a conspiracy of its own, and somehow involves Theo Von on the ground floor, in the smoke-filled back room, hidden deeply within an anti-Israel rumor department from a super-villain’s lair, trying to get all the forces of evil in the world to unite to just make it appear like Israel has undue influence over the American political system.
Consider the incredibly complicated scheme that Boreing is actually asking you to believe as the best explanation for the appearance that Israel has an outsized influence in American politics. His implicit theory is that Tucker Carlson, Dave Smith, Theo Von, Christian nationalists, America First commentators, and even NXR are all coordinating together in a sophisticated, organized conspiracy specifically engineered to manufacture the false appearance of Israeli influence where none meaningfully exists. That’s right. It’s all fabricated! Day-dreamed! Growing segments of American society have all fallen under a spell to believe - for no legitimate reasons other than something called “grift” - that Israel’s influence over American media and politics is real when it isn’t.
300 million each election cycle is given to American political candidates from the Israel lobby
untold millions (perhaps double that) from Israeli sources for issue advocacy
$145 million spent annually by the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry via Project 545 to affect American AI response and search engine results
$150 million pumped annually into American evangelism for theological manipulation via Israel’s “public diplomacy” department
$70 million spent each year financing Potemkin propaganda pilgrimages for evangelical influencers through the Israeli Board of Tourism and luxury tours for thousands of pastors via the Friends of Zion Ambasadors Training Program sponsored by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office
1,174 Chabad-Lubavitch houses in the United States, organizing grass-roots support for Israeli political causes in every medium to large city coast-to-coast, with enough political muscle to get every president since Jimmy Carter to declare a national day each year in honor of Rebbe Schneerson’s birthday
Billion-dollar media conglomerates like Daily Wire are pumping sunshine in the name of journalism on behalf of the Israeli state, non-stop, 24-7
Billion-dollar start-ups by Israel’s Unit 8200 Cyber Commandos now running Silicon Valley with tech developed by American public sector research and development parceled out through Israeli intelligence, dumping millions of more dollars each year into political races
POTUS testifying he answers the phone daily for his top Israeli donors with new requests on behalf of Israel, which he says publicly that he delivers on
Josh Hammer of the same Horwitz Foundation that Jeremy Boreing got his start with, bragging that an Israeli lobbyist successfully got Trump to summon a leading U.S. journalist to his office to demand he heel
Boreing would like you to know that these are all coincidences, and put together, they do not mean that Israel has significant influence in the American political system, and if you think it does, you’ve either completely imagined it, or you are the victim of grift on the part of the vastest conspiracy man has ever planned, let alone pulled off successfully. And that’s an incredibly complicated string of coincidences that doesn’t paint the picture you think it does.
Occam would like a word. Because the simplest explanation is that you aren’t imagining it, there is no vast conspiracy to make Israel look like it has power it doesn’t have or influence it doesn’t hold. The simplest explanation is that Israel does indeed have incredible influence in this country’s political system, at least equal to one of the two political parties, if not greater. The simplest explanation is that you are not imagining it, but that it’s exactly what it looks like. The simplest explanation is that you are not the victim of a grift, but the victim of being capable of pattern recognition, basic math, and the common sense that God gave a grapefruit.
There’s also another simple explanation for why Jeremy Boreing’s monologue looks almost identical in design, sequence, flow, rhythm, argumentation, and talking points as that written by the new Jeremy Boreing at the old Jeremy Boreing’s former place of employment. That is, his talking points were produced by Hammer himself, Horowitz’s operation, or the broader institutional apparatus they both inhabit. We cannot prove it. We do not need to. The text proves it for us, because if we are wrong, then what Boreing produced on his own is indistinguishable from Israeli institutional propaganda by every available metric, which is its own hell of a coincidence.
Thank you JD!! I'm very grateful for your reporting and noticing and stating the obvious and then always always backing it up. And I especially appreciate that you do this regardless of what party/organization is involved.
It's helping many of us more and more to really be careful with whom we choose to associate with so that we know what exactly we're dealing with when it comes to choosing whom we're going to associate with and constantly keep weeding our gardens so to speak. I find your articles invaluable and I thank you again for your bravery and hard work!!!
