Jeremy Boreing: Don't Tear Down the Constitution, Rebuild the People
Jeremy Boreing on why revolution isn't the answer — and what actually is.
In Part 2 of our conversation, Jeremy makes the case that America doesn't need to tear down the Constitution. It needs to become the kind of people the Constitution was written for. We talk about why every godless revolution in history has ended in blood, why the American founding was different, and why the revolution we actually need is a revolution of the heart.
Then things get personal. We swap favorite films (Braveheart, Ben-Hur, Tombstone, The Godfather), argue about the Beatles, trade Eagles memories from the Sphere, and land on how art — even a small movie with a jazz score — can travel further than you'd ever guess.
We close with the story behind the bent key Jeremy has worn around his neck for 31 years. It's worth staying for.
