    Episode 081: Our "I" Problems - Introduction

    Send us Fan Mail Is the gap between rich and poor really the problem—or are we being distracted from the forces that prevent people from prospering in the first place? In this episode of The Jeremiah Gunn Show, Jeremiah Gunn tackles income inequality, capitalism, and the growing resentment toward wealth and success. Drawing on Abraham Lincoln’s defense of property and industry, Jeremiah challenges the familiar claim that the widening gap between rich and poor is proof that capitalism has failed. He asks a more fundamental question: What is the point of making that comparison, and what solution is actually being proposed? Jeremiah contrasts what he calls the spirit of capitalism—creating something, employing others, exchanging goods and services, and sharing in the resulting prosperity—with the philosophy of taking what belongs to one person and redistributing it to another. Citing Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, and other thinkers, he argues that economic arguments must be grounded in logic, mathematics, and an understanding of how wealth is created rather than resentment over how much someone else possesses. The discussion also explores the Founders’ view of personal property, the Declaration of Independence, taxation, government spending, and what French philosopher Frédéric Bastiat called “legalized plunder.” Jeremiah distinguishes genuine free-market capitalism from cronyism and government-controlled systems, arguing that Americans should examine who actually benefits from government policies—and who is standing in the way of economic opportunity. From entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk to the role of government institutions, Jeremiah challenges listeners to look beyond headlines and political talking points. He also questions the appeal of foreign economic models, reminding Americans that dissatisfaction with the country's direction should lead to a closer examination of what went wrong, not an abandonment of the principles that made the American experiment possible. The question isn't simply whether some people have more than others. It's how they acquired what they have, what they contribute, and whether the system protects everyone's opportunity to build something of their own. Wake up, follow the money, question the narrative, and don't confuse capitalism with the very government-controlled system it was meant to resist. Go in peace, love, truth—and a little courage.

    Episode 080: WARNING! - I Love You - I'm Free

    Send us Fan Mail What good is a warning if nobody is listening—and what happens when a nation forgets the principles that made it free? In Episode 080 of The Jeremiah Gunn Show, Jeremiah Gunn reflects on the role of a modern-day watchman: someone willing to sound the alarm, challenge conventional thinking, and warn others about dangers they may not recognize—or may simply choose to ignore. Dedicated to Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, this episode explores the cost of public apathy and the responsibility that comes with the freedom to think, speak, and vote. Drawing on the words of Thomas Sowell, Ayn Rand, and biblical passages about watchmen and prophets, Jeremiah argues that truth is often less complicated than people make it. He questions why so many Americans remain disengaged from history and civic life, reminding listeners that ignorance of the past can leave future generations vulnerable to repeating its mistakes. The episode then examines accountability and the importance of understanding one's responsibilities, using the workplace concept of the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) as a starting point. Jeremiah applies that idea to the Constitution and the Supreme Court, arguing that government institutions have drifted away from their intended purposes. He revisits the Founders’ system of separation of powers and checks and balances, questions the Court’s approach to constitutional interpretation, and calls on Americans to hold public officials accountable. Ultimately, Jeremiah delivers a warning about the consequences of political indifference and urges citizens to take their responsibilities seriously. He argues that preserving the American republic requires more than hope, good intentions, or faith that everything will work out. It requires action. You don't have to agree with every warning to consider the question at its heart: What responsibility do we bear when we see our country heading in the wrong direction? Come, let us reason together.

    Episode 079: Judge for Yourself - Better True than Blue

    Send us Fan Mail Prophets, Not People: Who Guards the Constitution? “The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.” — W. B. Yeats Who is guarding the Constitution when the people entrusted with protecting it seem to have lost sight of its purpose? In this episode of The Jeremiah Gunn Show, Jeremiah Gunn introduces his “Quotes and Anecdotes” feature and turns his attention to the Supreme Court of the United States. Drawing on the words of William Butler Yeats and El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, Jeremiah challenges listeners to think critically about conviction, corruption, and the institutions that shape our country. The discussion examines the Constitution’s separation of powers, the system of checks and balances, and the role the Founders envisioned for the judiciary. Jeremiah questions the influence of judicial opinions, political loyalties, and personal ideology on constitutional decisions, with particular attention to recent Supreme Court rulings involving women’s sports and birthright citizenship. Revisiting the Fourteenth Amendment, the Bill of Rights, and the reasoning behind the American system of government, Jeremiah argues that judges should apply the Constitution rather than substitute their own preferences for its written meaning. He also reflects on the responsibilities of citizenship, the dangers of political apathy, and the importance of understanding the principles that safeguard individual liberty. The central question is whether Americans still understand—and care about—the constitutional framework that made self-government possible. Hope is possible, Jeremiah argues, but it requires citizens to wake up, think for themselves, and hold those in power accountable. Come, let us reason together.

    Episode 078: No Liars, No Lawyers

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when a society loses the ability to distinguish right from wrong—and when the institutions meant to uphold justice become part of the problem? In this episode of The Jeremiah Gunn Show, Jeremiah Gunn examines the lies, moral confusion, and competing worldviews he believes are fueling America’s cultural conflict. Drawing on a discussion of white guilt, victimhood, personal responsibility, and the treatment of Charlie Kirk, he asks how people can be persuaded to condemn the good while excusing the bad. Jeremiah introduces a passage from G. K. Chesterton about the danger of doubling down on mistakes rather than finding our way back to sound principles. He then turns to recent Supreme Court decisions involving women’s sports and birthright citizenship, questioning the Court’s reasoning and arguing that constitutional interpretation must account for the original purpose of the law. The episode also revisits the Fourteenth Amendment, the Civil War, the responsibilities of citizenship, and the consequences of political and legal decisions made without regard for history or logic. Along the way, Jeremiah challenges public figures, educators, and legal authorities to defend their positions rather than hide behind titles, precedent, or political slogans. If the law is supposed to serve justice, what happens when the people interpreting it lose sight of what it was meant to protect? Jeremiah Gunn continues his exploration of truth, lies, lawyers, and the future of the American experiment. Come, let us reason together.

    Episode 077: The Mother of All Lies

    Send us Fan Mail When Celebrity Replaces Significance Reflecting on America’s 250th anniversary, Jeremiah Gunn asks what it means to love—and defend—the country we have inherited. In this episode, he returns to the idea that prophets warn us about where we’re headed, while celebrities often command attention without necessarily offering wisdom or guidance. From Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America” to the words of John Adams and Thomas Paine, Jeremiah reflects on faith, patriotism, responsibility, and the role of citizens in a time of deep division. He challenges those who say people of faith should stay out of public life, arguing that questions of right and wrong cannot simply be dismissed as politics. The conversation also revisits the influence of celebrity voices, the treatment of Charlie Kirk, and what Jeremiah sees as a growing reluctance to debate ideas openly. He then returns to the episode’s recurring themes of law, justice, and accountability, questioning the use of psychological evaluations in criminal proceedings and examining how legal systems can lose sight of justice. Along the way, Jeremiah considers the difference between empathy and compassion, the consequences of misplaced priorities, and the danger of confusing public prominence with genuine significance. Are we willing to listen, think, and act—or will we simply stand by while others decide what comes next? We’ll pick it up next time. Come, let us reason together.

    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.
