    Episode 076: Do or Die - Fight or Cry

    Send us Fan Mail God, Country, Family What happens when we lose the proper order of things? In this episode of The Jeremiah Gunn Show, Jeremiah Gunn explores the idea that joy, responsibility, liberty, and even a healthy society depend on putting things in their proper order. Beginning with the Judeo-Christian tradition and the founding of America, he examines the principles of God, country, and family—and why he believes that order matters. Jeremiah reflects on the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, religious freedom, the American Revolution, and the sacrifices made by those who risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to establish the nation. He also discusses liberty and responsibility, drawing on the writings and ideas of figures including Victor Frankl and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. From there, the conversation turns to the present: Where are we now? How did we get here? And what happens when people decide they can simply remain on the sidelines? Jeremiah challenges the idea that politics is merely about being a “fan” of one candidate or another. He argues that citizenship carries responsibilities—and that sometimes difficult choices have to be made rather than avoided. Along the way, he revisits the 30-percenters of the American Revolution, the Civil War, modern political divisions, Charlie Kirk's influence on young people, and the consequences of ignoring the conflicts unfolding around us. Where are we? And if we don't like where we are, are we willing to find our way back? We'll pick it up next time. Come, let us reason together.

    Episode 075: Hello Again - Reason Is The Reason

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the Irony Age What happens when the people and institutions charged with protecting justice become part of the problem? In this standalone episode of The Jeremiah Gunn Show, Jeremiah Gunn introduces what he calls the “Irony Age”—an era in which contradictions, double standards, and cognitive dissonance have become almost impossible to ignore. Building on his continuing discussion of law, lawyers, and lies, Jeremiah examines the relationship between government, bureaucracy, the legal profession, and ordinary citizens. He argues that America's system was designed around limited government, individual responsibility, and constitutional checks and balances—but that those safeguards can be undermined when institutions begin serving themselves rather than the people. Along the way, Jeremiah explores the meaning behind “This Is the Army, Mr. Jones,” the importance of discipline and civic responsibility, the Second Amendment and the concept of a citizen militia, and why he believes Americans are participants—not spectators—in the preservation of their constitutional republic. The conversation ranges from bureaucracy and class warfare to socialism, wealth redistribution, corporate HR departments, workplace investigations, psychology in the courtroom, and the complicated relationship between criminal and civil justice. Jeremiah also revisits examples including O.J. Simpson, Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln, and his own experiences navigating bureaucratic and legal systems. At the heart of the episode is a simple question: Where is the justice—and what happens when the system created to deliver it becomes the system standing in its way? Jeremiah isn't finished with the subject. As he says, we'll pick it up next time. Let's win instead of lose. Come, let us reason together.

    Episode 074: Lies, Liars, Lawyers vs. Truth

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when the law itself becomes corrupted—and the people who are supposed to uphold justice become part of the problem? In this wide-ranging episode of The Jeremiah Gunn Show, Jeremiah Gunn explores the idea that we are all in the army, whether we realize it or not. Not necessarily an army that requires picking up a rifle, but a citizen army responsible for defending the Constitution, preserving liberty, and resisting the enemies—foreign or domestic—that threaten the American system of government. Jeremiah examines the meaning of the Second and Third Amendments, the concept of the citizen militia, the Founders’ distrust of standing armies, and the responsibility of ordinary Americans to participate in their government. He argues that voting, thinking critically, and understanding the Constitution are among the ways citizens participate in the ongoing defense of the republic. From there, the conversation turns to lies and the law. Jeremiah explores the relationship between lawyers, legislation, bureaucracy, unions, government institutions, and the legal system, questioning what happens when law stops serving justice and instead becomes a self-perpetuating industry. He draws on examples ranging from the Founding Fathers and Jesus' warnings about lawyers to Shakespeare, John Adams, O.J. Simpson, Milton Friedman, and his own experiences dealing with legal and bureaucratic systems. At the heart of the episode is a simple question: What happens when the people entrusted with protecting the law begin twisting it? Jeremiah argues that the answer cannot simply be to sit back and watch. Citizens have a responsibility to understand the rules, recognize corruption, participate in the process, and defend the principles that make liberty possible. The war is already being fought. The question is whether you realize you're in the army. Come, let us reason together.

    Episode 071: Random Rants, Grape Nuts, Dinner Theater and Christian Science - Part Savin

    Send us Fan Mail “Never confuse celebrity with significance.” Part 7 of Random Rants, Grape Nuts, Dinner Theater and Christian Science picks up where the previous episode left off, examining the difference between celebrity, leadership, truth, and genuine significance. Jeremiah Gunn continues his discussion of comedians, celebrities, politicians, and the media, asking why people who have achieved fame are so often treated as authorities on subjects far beyond their expertise. From late-night television and political commentary to the idea of the “reality show,” Jeremiah explores what he sees as the growing disconnect between what is presented as real and what is actually true. The conversation moves into law enforcement, public authority, unions, government, immigration, and the responsibility of those sworn to uphold the law. Jeremiah revisits Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan, while drawing connections between leadership, courage, constitutional government, and the willingness to actually do the job. He also discusses figures such as Donald Trump, Spencer Pratt, Sonny Bono, Larry Elder, and Ronald Reagan as examples of people who entered public life from outside the traditional political establishment—and asks whether real-world experience, common sense, and the ability to tell the truth might matter more than conventional political credentials. The episode ultimately returns to a recurring theme of the show: truth means being straight, level, and uncorrupted. Jeremiah argues that in an age of scripted “reality,” political theater, celebrity activism, and competing narratives, we need to learn how to distinguish what is real from what merely looks real. Some things are true. Some things are not. The challenge is knowing the difference. Come, let us reason together.

    Episode 070: Random Rants, Grape Nuts, Dinner Theater and Christian Science - Part Sicks

    Send us Fan Mail “When it all goes to hell, will you be able to tell me you’re sorry with a straight face?” That question sets the tone for Part 6 of Random Rants, Grape Nuts, Dinner Theater and Christian Science as Jeremiah Gunn continues his series of seemingly random observations that ultimately circle back to some very serious questions about America, citizenship, responsibility, and the future. Jeremiah explains the meaning behind the French Resistance message used in the show's introduction and why he describes the program as broadcasting “behind enemy lines.” From there, he takes aim at bureaucratic thinking, homeowners associations, government unions, political correctness, and the tendency to enforce rules against those who follow them while ignoring those who don't. The conversation turns to police, constitutional obligations, immigration, local government, and the question of who public servants actually work for. Jeremiah also discusses Calvin Coolidge, Ronald Reagan, government spending, unions, education, and the importance of actually doing the job you're supposed to do. Along the way come book recommendations, observations about comedy and the media, and a discussion of whether people who have never accomplished something should be the ones telling everyone else how to do it. As always, the “random rants” aren't really as random as they may seem. Come, let us reason together.
