Episode 058: The Real RACE - Part Won

What if the biggest conversation about race in America isn't really about race at all?

In Part 1 of The Real RACE, Jeremiah Gunn challenges popular assumptions by examining the difference between race as a biological reality and race as a political weapon. Drawing from history, philosophy, religion, and America's founding principles, Jeremiah argues that the greatest divisions in society are not based on skin color—but on ideas, values, character, and truth.

This episode explores how governments, media, and institutions have historically used identity to divide people, while ignoring the timeless principles that unite free societies. From ancient civilizations to modern America, Jeremiah examines the roots of tribalism, propaganda, and identity politics, asking listeners to reconsider what truly defines a person.

Whether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically, question assumptions, and pursue truth over slogans.

In this episode:

• The historical origins of racial division
• Race versus culture, ideas, and character
• How identity politics shapes modern America
• The role of history, religion, and philosophy in understanding human nature
• Why the pursuit of truth matters more than political narratives

The Jeremiah Gunn Show is dedicated to exploring history, common sense, logic, and the enduring principles that shape civilization—one conversation at a time.

Okay, this is your gun show, the Jeremiah Gun Show on CSN. CSN, the Common Sense Network, part of the ISI broadcasting system. First things first, don't we're dedicated to Charlie Kirk. This episode is dedicated to Charlie Kirk, as are all of them. Don't mess with the speed yet. First things first, let's do this. Please listen. This episode is called The Real Race. So remember that. If you get a chance to see it on video on YouTube, go ahead and watch that. It's really remarkable. It was a singular event. We'll talk about it a little bit later. And now this. Let's get this queued up. This is the inauguration of Mr. James Abram Garfield, one of a string of Republican presidents that we had from right after Lincoln when we got rid of Johnson. Uh up until actually Teddy Roosevelt. Um kind of uninterrupted string of great Republican leaders. So let's let's talk about this. Um let let's hear this first. Please listen carefully.

Frederick Douglass, who led the procession, the president-elect, and his mother Eliza. It was an extraordinary scene, a testimony to the triumph of intelligence and industry over prejudice and poverty. And it was not lost on those who witnessed it. James A. Garfield sprung from the people, a reporter marveled. James A. Garfield, who had known all the hardship of abject poverty in the presence of a mother who had worked with her own hands to keep him from want, was about to assume the highest civil office this world knows. As the party so stood for a moment, cheer after cheer, loud huzzahs, which could not be controlled or checked, echoed and re-echoed about the Capitol. After the crowd had finally quieted and he had been sworn into office, Garfield stepped forward to deliver the inaugural address he had finished just that morning. He felt deeply the importance of this speech, and he approached it with a seriousness of purpose that was almost didactic. He talked about education, which he believed was the foundation of freedom. He discussed the national debt, the challenges facing farmers, and the importance of civil service reform. At which point, a journalist noted, Roscoe Conkling, sitting directly behind Garfield, smiled quietly at the hard task which General Garfield had marked out for himself. It was when he spoke about the legacy of the Civil War, however, that Garfield was most passionate. With victory, he told the crowd standing before him, had come extraordinary opportunity. The elevation of the Negro race from slavery to the full rights of citizenship is the most important political change we have known since the adoption of the Constitution, he said. It has liberated the master as well as the slave from a relation which wronged and enfeebled both. Listening to Garfield speak, a reporter in the crowd of 50,000 realized that all around him, black men who had been slaves and who still bore upon their persons the evidence of cruel lashings were standing peacefully, even cheerfully, next to Southern white men who had grown poor during the war, but who seemed nevertheless to harbor no ill feelings. The painful past, however, had not been forgotten. Nor did Garfield believe it should be. As he spoke, former slaves in the crowd openly wept. The emancipated race has already made remarkable progress, he said. With unquestioning devotion to the Union, with a patience and gentleness not born of fear, they have followed the light as God gave them to see the light. They deserve the generous encouragement of all good men. So far as my authority can lawfully extend, they shall enjoy the full and equal protection of the Constitution and the laws. When he finished his address, Garfield stood for a moment on the portico, his hands raised to the sky. There was the utmost silence, one reporter wrote, as the new president appealed to God for aid in the trial before him. The trial, in fact, had already begun.

SPEAKER_01 7:42

So I think this is, in my humble but expert opinion, I think this is the most important show that I have done so far. I don't know what to call it. I called it the real race or the great race. But I think that i it's impossible, really, as James Abram Garfield, a great Republican president, Civil War hero, um who would be taken out by anarchist, narcissist, Democrat, just like all of them. Um he like Charlie Kirk. He uh he he explains he explains that, you know, I let me put it this way. I I I think I consider myself to be an African American. I can explain that later. But um I I consider that I don't think you can talk about this country without race. What you can't really seem to talk about this country without race. Our our most recent election. Our most recent election, we had a Democrat candidate saying, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black, and and uh his running mate that took over for him saying that she was black, when many blacks do not consider her to be so, and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I think that race is you know the first black president, quote unquote, not s not Slick Willie, but the first, as Morgan Freegan Freeman called him, mixed race president. But the first black president said that uh race is like in our DNA. It's just it's just in us. And uh He certainly was a racist. So I guess he I don't I don't think as Garfield indicated there that this what he was doing was the most important thing. He already risked his life for uh emancipation, abolition. Um three hundred thousand Republican troops died to try to free slaves from the Democrats. And uh he said that this is the most important thing since our since our constitution was founded. And uh believed that it was well when when our country was founded in that constitutional period he mentioned, you know, Ben Franklin, the Elon Musk of the day, great, great founding father, who was an abolitionist as well, he he said that we're a new race. We're not we're not really Englishmen anymore. Uh we're Americans, we're a new race. So he talked about race in that context. And part of the American Trinity, as Dennis Breaker calls it, they adopted was e pleurbus unum. Liberty in God we trust, e pleurbus unum. Very evident in James Abram Garfield's life that God was number one. And that he did what he did, as Lincoln did, out of duty to God. Remember, Lincoln said every drop of blood that was brought by the lash of a Democrat slave owner must be paid for with one brought by the sword. You know, he saw he saw the Civil War as God's vengeance on us. Just as John Brown saw the Civil War as, you know, I mean, he saw slavery as God's direction to him that he must put it down by any means necessary. So before we talk about how important race is, this is the Jore My Gunn Show on CSN. This show is dedicated to Charlie Kirk. I'd like to start with a couple of quotes. There is a million quotes. There are a million, maybe a trillion quotes that are so wonderful, applicable to what we're going through, that I I think I'd like to start in the show just reading a couple of them. One of them secular, meaning non not Judeo-Christian, and one of them Judeo-Christian, because that's who we are. That's who America is. It wasn't founded by anyone else. And so General Ulysses Sam Grant, he he said, after he saw all of his efforts, and remember, no U.S. Grant, no Lincoln, no Lincoln, no U.S. Grant. Grant's victories enabled Lincoln to accomplish his goal of restoring the Union and abolition. So at the outset, don't listen. Don't listen to the nonsense that's being taught. Thomas Sowell said that this would be the first civilization that was destroyed by the dangerous nonsense taught to our children by the teachers. So Grant watched men die. He watched the black soldiers that were under him. He watched them be executed by the Democrat Confederates in the blue no matter who states. And uh that's what kind of turned the mind of the average soldier to say this is kind of a holy war. You know, they won't even let these guys surrender. They just kill them. That's it is a racist war. It is a white supremacist democrat war. So U.S. Grant said if we are to have another contest in the future of our national existence Remember, Lincoln said uh this war is testing whether this nation can endure. So General Grant said, President Grant said, if we are to have another contest in the future of our national existence, the dividing line will be between patriotism and intelligence on the one hand and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other. You know, we talk about our two-party system, and I can't I can't think of a better description than the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. Let me read that again. If we are to have another contest in the future of our national existence, the dividing line will be between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, the right side of history, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other. And then in the in the wisdom literature of the good book, the New Testament, 2 Corinthians, Paul wrote to the uh to the believers there, who were being twisted around and captured into false beliefs. Like CRT and things like that. BLM, CRT, yada yada. Please keep listening. Please, if don't, don't, don't turn it off. If you hear something that r rocks your boat that you were tucked into with your professors and high school students and media and the government education, media attainment complex. I just heard just heard last night. I guess my wife told me that uh or this morning, Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson uh endorsed Karen Bass. Karen. Karen Bass, the communist incompetent fool. That Magic Johnson endorsed her, put his arms around her. So while you're trying well, don't try to figure that out now. I I I can't. I can't help you with it. Uh but but this is what we're talking about. If we are to have another contest in the future of our national existence, the dividing line will between will be between patriotism and intelligence on the one side and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other. Now, Paul wrote to these believers in a city called Corinth over in Turkey, Greece area, and he told them, you know, these people that come in after I leave and try to mess with your heads and try to screw you up. He basically said, and and I say this because a lot of a lot of blacks, African Americans, are religious. You know, I I saw preachers so-called celebrating Charlie Kirk's death. Or at least damning him with faint praise, saying he was nothing. He said, You know, you gladly put up with fools since you're so wise. Like it says in another place, professing themselves as wise, they became fools. In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you. You gladly put up with fools since you're so wise. In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you, or exploits you, or takes advantage of you, or pushes himself forward to the front, or slaps you in the face. I guess I should be ashamed even to admit we were too weak to try that. You know, being very sarcastic. He's trying to mock the idea of, you know, maybe I should have tried that. You gladly put up with fools, since you're so wise. In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you, or pushes himself forward, or slaps you in the face. I guess I should be ashamed to even admit we were too weak for that. Second Corinthians. So uh You know, look at the last guy that was elected. Uh Trump got the highest percentage of black male votes and Hispanic votes, but we're talking about we'll talk about Hispanic, as I call it, Hiscamic Browns, quote unquote brown race on another show. But this is about primarily about the real sort of race war in our country, the real race. And you have a guy who uh the black female candidate during the debates called him out as the racist that he is, but he goes on charlatan defraud and he says, uh, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black, pal, after he already put blacks in jail for cocaine and let his son get off for felonies that you know he campaigned on the Senate floor to I mean, you just we don't have time for it now, but you can go watch. So what this you can watch the video of the horrible racist that that guy was. And who put him in? Obama. So we can't we can't waste a bunch of time on him. I'm just saying this guy that, you know, the Hillary Clinton who goes on charlatan defraud and says, Oh yeah, I got hot sauce in my purse, and yada, yada, yada. And he says, you know, some people could say you're just saying that to get elected. And she said, Is it working? I mean, you talk about contempt for people. So that that's what we're gonna talk about. We're gonna talk about fools, people who are being fooled, exploited, taken advantage of. I like to watch this show, this podcast called the Cartier Cartier Family. It's uh four guys who ran track together in college. I really like it. My wife and I just started watching and watched kind of every show. Vivek Ramaswamy was on one time because his dad told him about it. And uh so he went on the show a couple times and and uh they're good. You know, they're they're they've they've come a long, long way. They they used to just react to things, whether it was music or sports or whatever, you know, react to videos. But then they started to kind of grow in their wisdom and knowledge and and um uh you know they they they kind of had their eyes open and and and I like listening to them. So I I guess what I'm getting at is there is a there's a divide in this country over race, and it's being it's being played. People are getting played by the Democrat Party that absolutely was the cause of all the suffering. And people today People today are are are being as someone said, maybe it was Nietzsche, said that the pol political class divides people into two classes. Well, tools and uh animates. So politics divides and so in this weird parallel universe right now everything is upside down. The people that the people that uh are called racists or calling other people racist are the racists. The people that steal are calling other people thieves, the people that are campaigning for, you know, voter ID stuff. They're the Jim Crow racists. I mean, they're fighting against ID, which is polling high among minorities, and they're playing it when it was their thing. We can explain that. But what what what basically is going on is it's the uh what I call the OJ principle. That's what I call the OJ principle, meaning um, you know, I I I'm I know that the LAPD had a bad reputation with respect to vis-a-vis black people, black citizens. And um when OJ came to trial, it was a big deal because this was gonna be, this was gonna be a chance to get back at the man, to get back at the LAPD, to get back at them for all of their racism that they did to the average citizen. You know, overly harsh. Um, not to say that some of these thugs brought it on themselves with the way they acted, but you know, there was sort of a thuggishness to the police. And and I and I know that that's all true. The point of the OJ principle is when he put together the dream team, and uh, you know, someone who's innocent doesn't need to have the biggest assembly of lawyers in the in the world to try to make it look like he's innocent. I I really don't think I think one of them would have probably done. But the one who sort of led was Johnny Cochran. And uh, you know, he did a bunch of things. He did a bunch of things, like for example, they took a tour of the uh to they took the jury on a tour. When I was on jury duty one time, we went to the scene of the crime, and uh the judge came and the the bailiff drove the van. And it's kind of weird. We were transported in a van that had no you couldn't open the doors. So we're all, you know, twelve citizens sitting in this prisoner van, and you can't open the doors to get out. So it's kind of a liability thing to me, it seemed. But we go and we set up on the sidewalk, and we we have this uh court reporter gets out her little machine and sits down on the sidewalk, and we're talking and pointing, and the both attorneys, the DA and the public defender, the criminal themselves, the defendant. So anyway, so they take the jury. Now, in the meantime, uh Johnny Cochran had gone to uh O.J.'s house. You can see all this stuff in documentaries, and uh he he got all the pictures in O.J.'s house were of white people, him with white people. Just like when he golfed at the Bel Air Country Club or when he or Brentwood or wherever he was, a member. And uh, you know, jury of his peers, that's the jury of his peers. But so Johnny Cochran uh took down all these pictures before the jury went there. And he went and got pictures of uh, you know, he they looked through O.J.'s personal storage unit or whatever, to garage, whatever, they'd find pictures of him with black people, and they put them in place of the ones with him, with white people. And on the landing, big picture of Martin Luther King. Was never there. But uh that's just one of the things he did. Another thing was uh, was it a jury of his peers? It was a bunch of uh it was mostly women, minority black women, who uh, you know, OJ looked pretty hot to them. In fact, and they weren't his peers. His peers were the guys in Hollywood, movie stars, TV stars. Yeah, he's a big movie star. He was doing workout videos. He was living large, still had a big place in people's heart. Uh and and one of the scams that Johnny Cochran was gonna run was um supposedly his knees were so bad from football that he couldn't have killed two people. So they were gonna have him come in in shorts and walk back in front, walk back and forth in front of the jury. You know, the and then they brought in DNA experts from all over the world. I mean, this thing dragged on and on and on and on. Unfortunately, I've been on juries, a lot of juries, and that jury, they couldn't spell DNA. So they're listening to these experts on DNA, which is one of the most scientifically obtuse, hard to understand things on earth. Just sitting through it, probably falling asleep. I mean, there was no way they were gonna acquit him anyway. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit. It's all they had to remember. So, you know, that what he did with those picture swap out was jury tampering, obstruction to justice. Just like the way they do elections these days. And and and so so here's the bottom line. Should LAPD have paid a price? Should the LAPD have paid a price for the racism that they demonstrated and uh being overzealous towards black criminals instead of or even non-criminals? I I I I grant you oh okay. I played basketball against the police in uh adult, you know, A-leagues. Some of them are thugs. Some of them just want to fight. They would do it in the game when we all had to go to work the next morning. We're just working adults. But they some of them, no, not all of them, not even most of them. But they're just, you know, like some guys join the Marines because they really want to kill somebody. These guys want to show how tough they are, and they'll take it out on a citizen. So the bottom line is should they have paid some kind of a price for yeah, for for uh uh uh alleged or actual crimes against uh bad policing and uh racist, if you can prove it. It was motivated by race and not just stupidity or thuggishness. Um okay, but that doesn't mean that O.J. should have been the recipient of that you know, swing of the balance bar back to to better, to normal. He shouldn't have been. He he he was probably the least deserving of anybody of any kind of retribution towards black for what they suffered. The least. And and it goes on and on, you know, Obama. You know, did he deserve the White House just because everybody's shaken with excitement that they're gonna be able to elect a black person? You know, they've had plenty of chances. Plenty of chances for that. Frederick Douglass was mentioned, and he's one of my heroes. He I want him on the the next the second Mount Rushmore that I want to build. I want to build it at Stone Martin Mountain, Georgia. I want to blow up those Democrat heroes. You know, that's the Democrats, Mount Rushmore, Stone Mountain. It has traitors, it has enemies of America, enemies of the Constitution. It has them up there enshrined. Huh? Come again. I want them taken down and I want black heroes. But but again, O.J. is the least deserving of the OJ treatment. You know, when uh Harvey Milk was shot or whatever, the guy used the Twinkie defense that he was, you know, he was eating crappy junk food. And so they started deriding it and calling it the Twinkie Defense. Uh so I'll call this the OJ defense, the OJ treatment. Can I get the OJ treatment? Can I get the OJ treatment? Finally, I mean I think he kind of proved what he was made of eventually when he gets arrested in Las Vegas and what happens in Las Vegas stays in Vegas. So what I'm saying is, OJ isn't the guy that deserves to get justice and maybe remuneration or payback for what he suffered. But that's what the jury did. They there was no way on earth they were gonna convict him. And then the same thing as Santa Obama. Kamala Harris, does Kamala Harris deserve to be the nominee for 150 million people, half the country? What did she do to deserve that? Oh, well, don't look, don't don't say she ain't black. And and if you uh if you don't vote for this old Jim Crow, addled old fool, racist from Delaware via Pennsylvania. Nothing but a racist from the first day of his job to to the last. But if you don't vote for him, you ain't black. These people don't deserve the OJ treatment. How about you pick somebody else? And then we can we can understand it. So let's talk about that. Uh what I'm saying here is you're not gonna guilt me or anybody else. All of you. I'm here to absolve you from all the guilt. Uh I was talking to a white engineer at work when Obama was running for the first time. And he says, oh, you know, he's just think of the pressure on him to really do a good job. You know, white people think that they have to, they think they have some sort of a ownership of what blacks are going through. You know, you talk to someone about, you talk to one of these awful about, you know, BLM or something. Well, I understand your your concerns about Marxism and all this stuff, but you know what? Uh I don't think that's what they think it means. I don't really care what they think it means. I know that black lives don't matter to Democrats until four years rolls around. Then they matter enough to say, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. And lie and steal and cheat, whatever it takes to keep them on Uncle Sam's plantation. Shelby Steele is a great, great author. He wrote a book. One of his first books was called The Content of Our Character. And uh he explained that, you know, this is a transactional thing. You know, the blacks, the black political leaders that Booker T. Washington wrote about that try to use race for gain by hanging on to this grievance, you know, victimhood. And I could even understand that if they weren't making the winners the very party and people that still are keeping them on the plantation, still keeping the Civil War going. And he said, you know, it's a transactional thing. The commissioner of the NFL goes, oh, what do I do? What do I do? I was working for a huge defense contractor, and BLM starts yapping, and they they say, What can we do? How can we do it? Where can we do it? And they pull some maybe they pulled some focus group number of the blacks. I mean, they hired, I don't know, tens of thousands of blacks. But they had to go say, What can you do? What can we do? What can we do? Got the extortion racket going, got a gun to their head. The race hustle. And so they said, well, you know, they gave them a million dollars. And they put a black square. So when we turn on our computer, this is a government, wasn't a government entity. It was a private uh high-tech corporation, but defense contractor primarily, so they worked for the government. So what do we do? What do we do? What do we do? Well, just give us money. And they put a square, and it said, the name of the corporation stands with the black community against racism. It made me think of the NFL painting End Racism in the end zone. And they put on their helmets uh Love Wins. Uh in fact, they have a quarterback whose last name was Love. So he's playing in a game, and it says on the helmets of both teams, Love wins. Okay. You really thought all this through a lot. So they put the square up and give a million bucks to BLM, these two Marxist lesbian women who started that scam, that shakedown. They said somebody said that BLM stands for blacks living in mansions because they each bought a nice pad, nice crib, nice estate with the money, and did nothing with it. Did nothing, nothing whatsoever except divide the country more, cause more problems. But uh you know, our company puts up this square that boots up as soon as you turn on your computer. We stand, our corporation stands with the black community. Oh, they're all they're just one community? Hold that thought. We stand with them against racism. And my first thought was, what were you doing yesterday? What were you doing six months ago when I started? And everybody that I interacted with, from the recruiting to the onboarding and assigned to me to be my HR partner and accounting and engineering and every and my department. Everybody. What what what were you doing a month ago before BLM came with the shakedown in your lobby? So why are we allowing white people, some portion of white people, to feel this guilt? And Shelby Steele explains that's the transaction. They say, I will kinda, the the black activists will say, I will kind of absolve you of your guilt and you give me money. But you know, it doesn't really explain the NFL. You have you have multi-multi-millionaires. Magic Johnson, who just endorsed uh who just endorsed Karen Bass, for God's sake. I mean, she she's gotta be mixed race. She can't be black, but it it just doesn't matter what you are, as long as you can make the claim that part of your skin is black. It just doesn't matter if you're a communist or an idiot. Nothing. Nothing matters. That's the ignorance we were talking about in that quote. You you can't and and black Americans, brothers and sisters, you can't play I hate to say it, but we can't play the house n-word for the massa. Even no matter who you are. Barack Hussein Obama did it. Kamala Harris did it. We can't keep doing this and make it. You only, you know, as Garfield said in his inaugural, you're gonna keep each other down. That's what it does. That's what that's what slavery does. So it's time to end the Civil War. It's time to stop letting certain people tell you what's black and what isn't. Who's black and who isn't. You know, Whoopi Goldberg gets more points than Ben Carson. A moron compared to a brain surgeon. You know, this look at the you know, the the greatest politicians today, or at least I will call them statesmen, not politicians. Wesley Hunt from Texas, you know, Tim Scott, Byron Donald, Burgess Owen. Uh, you know, it was his name, uh, Casey Watts or whatever, J.C. Watts back in the day, former NFL player, yeah. This is crazy stuff. Uh Winsome Sears, she's from Jamaica. She I think she went in the Marines or something, and she became Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. Virginia was where the capital of the Confederacy was, Richmond. So Yeah, whenever I'd see an NFL game and I look and it says end racism, and there's multi-multimillionaires standing there. I'm thinking, well, okay, well, when should we end racism? At halftime? When when should we end racism? At halftime? Uh and these guys taking a knee because of Colin frickin' Kaepernick, who was mixed race. You know, they're always uh they used to call them half-breeds. Obama, Colin Kaepernak. I can't say Rachel Dolezal, because she was just two whites as her parents. But all of these people, Kamala Harris, you know, a divorced mother, uh, in in some cases, a white mother. In Kamala's case, she was Indian from India peninsula. And uh, you know, but they're gonna they're gonna tell us how to how to handle this race thing. They're gonna play the race card. Yeah, you know, Colin Kaepernick pick out his hair. You know, their fathers abandoned him. Even Ben Carson's father abandoned him, but he didn't go south. He almost flirted with uh breaking the law, but instead he went to Johns Hopkins. But, you know, Trevor Noah has to go on TV and make fun of him. Um Don Lemonades has to go on and and and knock these people. Whoopi Goldberg. I mean, you know, people who make millions of dollars and then then they take a knee, and they gotta remind you that there's still we're still we're still victims, there's still grievances. What did Whoopi say recently? My God, why does anybody put a microphone in front of her ever, let alone pay her over a million dollars a month? She said that uh people have it better, people have it better in uh Iran than than Black Sabbath in America. I mean, my God. At some point, so let's talk about, let's really, really talk about race. Let's go back to the Marvin Gaye opening here. That was Marvin Gay at the NBA All-Star Game. And when you watch the video, I mean it was like genius. The only it was genius. All he had was a snare drum and him. And he's wearing sunglasses at indoors. I think it's at the forum, which was where they moved before the Stapl Center of Bitcoin, where they were. And it's all these athletes, the first thing they cut after him, and what a beautiful rendition. The only regret I have is I coached high school basketball, so I got to pick the layup music. And I used Ray Charles and I used um uh other versions like that. But but uh some of the other coaches would thank me for using like Ray Charles's version of America instead of the national anthem. Yeah, it's just he said that was class, coach. They'd say that that was class. Well, I know. I regret not using that one. The principal was old school. He might have thought, yeah, I don't like that. But look what he did. He just stood there with his nice suit, sunglasses, microphone, and out of the view was the snare drum, and that just keeping the beat. And what a what a beautiful, beautiful rendition. Not racing through it, not people screaming and cheering on the last line because they know it's almost over, but he really sang it like a hymn, like a tribute. And uh and as you look in the crowd, I mean, the the players, it was kind of white, black, white, black, white, black. But so, you know, Jamal Wilkes, Keith Wilkes changed his name to Jamal Wilkes, he's standing next to Kiki Vanderway, both played at UCLA. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, UCLA, standing next to, I don't know who it was, maybe it was Tom Chambers or somebody, Pat Riley on the other side. So it was kind of, I don't know if they did it on purpose, but it was NBA All-Star game, and it was kind of white, black, white, black, white, black, you know. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, we're gonna talk about him later. But um, you know, they're standing there in both, I mean, just revering and reveling in this incredible rendition. So I I want to talk about those guys later. But I guess the bottom line is I I went to a tea party. Don't don't get mad. I went to two sort of Tea Party rallies. Tea Party was started mostly by women that I would call the Daughters of the Confederacy. Tea Party has a beautiful name to me. Only tyrants hate it. You know, Sam Adams started it with the Sons of Liberty, did the first one, and these women who got tired of the government telling them how to live and just trashing the Constitution, and they so they started this Tea Party. I think they started by sending in, they would open a tea bag and pour it into a letter and send it to Congress and go, here we're doing it again. Six Semper Tyrannus, the motto of Virginia, thus shall it ever be to tyrants. Do you know what Jefferson wanted and and Ben Franklin? Both were abolitionists ultimately. But you know what they said? They they wanted our motto of America to be disobedience to tyrants is obedience to God. So again, we're back to the secular and the religious kind of melding into this unique race. So our race is Americans. Our race is Americans. There's only two races, decent and indecent. We are children of God. And if you don't love your brother that you can't see, if you don't love your brother that you can see, you can't love God that you can't see. So I don't care whether you go to church or not. You're still bound by that. By our Constitution and the Republicans who gave it to you. Thank you for listening. This part one. Jeremiah Gunn Show. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
