Rev. Teresa Hord Owens, jumped in on the end of the music discussion, sharing her experiences while currently in South Africa and as the leader of a major, diverse denomination. She and Jesse then turned their attention to what others at the SA meeting from around the world are saying about America’s lapse in moral leadership.

Show notes

Music aficionado, legendary interviewer and journalist, A.Scott Galloway joined Jesse Jr in the first hour on The Jesse Jackson Jr Show. Today was all about the message in the music as part of a the historical narrative that shapes the African American “expression of experience and journey.” This was captured in the movie “Sinners.” Has that narrative lost its way and if so, why? We can tell when somebody’s been through something - so what about our music in this hour as a source of strength and faith.

Jesse on Juneteenth and July 4th: To Celebrate or Commemorate Jun 18, 2025

Show notes

On the foundation of the Emancipation Proclamation giving rise to Juneteenth, and the Declaration of Independence that birthed our nation, Jesse Jackson Jr took the liberty of a Hall of Famer’s lead guitar solo, whaling and weaving the strings that tie us to our- story…history…and today’s news stories that dictate how we must consider, and re-consider the impact of the African American’s “exodus story” in America on the backdrop of freedom…and whether the young American experiment can withstand another battle for its own emancipation toward the persistent pursuit of justice and liberty for all. Juneteenth and July 4th: To party or pause…that is the question.

Jesse Rollin’ Solo in the Sanctuary Jun 13, 2025

Show notes

In the heat of the moment, Jesse Jackson Jr reminds us of our history, our fight, our struggle, our faith, our determination, our dignity, and our claim to America as it is tested. “I’ll hang our flag, I’ll take it down…I’ll holler at it if I feel like it because it’s mine. We lay down the flags of our various nations and pick up the American flag. It is our own. We are African Americans and we must not just sit on the sideline of anyone’s pain. We have grown from the Rainbow…in our common pain.” We are one nation under God.

“It’s not about what Simon says, it’s what the Archbishop said.” Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

Philadelphia’s historic first female Archbishop of any denomination in her home City of Philadelphia and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to date and Host of the award-winning “The Bishop Mary Show” joins Jesse Jr to talk the “art of protest” in light of the four days of feuding between California’s Govenor and Los Angeles’Mayor in the mounting, multi-sanctuary city movement. Looking to LA, other big cities must brace for the full scope of what this means, what it represents, and how it’s best handled…60 years later. The Conclusion: How should we respond? Dignity in a planned, non-violent protest is still the best way, keeping in mind that Faith without deeds… is dead.

Who Can Afford to Not Forgive Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Wilmer Leon joins Jesse Jr. as circulation of the OpEd shows up in various outlets and the Trump Administration responds with a call for investigation into the pardon process in the waning days of the Biden Presidency. The Conclusion: The interest of “the people” is not well-served in the “forgiveness” process as originally intended, especially the interest of Black people who have supported Democratic Presidents, who could have pardoned thousands of citizens who need full restoration. Over 70 million debt-paid people remain in punishment and judgement.

The Integrity of ‘The Office,’ Our Civility, and Our Humanity Forward Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

Former Trump Attorney, multi-platformed podcast host, and regular contributor on The Jesse Jackson Jr Show, Michael Cohen Esq. joins Jesse Jr to discuss the op-ed that they wrote with a cardiologist, a Rabbi, and a radio personality - all of whom sought the same pardon that The Biden Family received. The OpEd will publish on Monday in “The Hill,” in light of the recent revelations concerning the mental acuity of President Joe Biden. The Conclusion: Presidential pardons have historically been a source of both relief and controversy because we lack a thorough historical, and public understanding of the language, power and responsibility entrusted to, and expected of “The Office” and the person elected to it in every generation – and what it means for each individual citizen. You don’t know you need it, until you need it.
