This week on Unsolicited Perspectives, Bruce and Jay open with a heartfelt tribute to Reverend Jesse Jackson—his legacy, his coalition-building, and why his political impact still echoes through modern Black politics and beyond.

From there, the conversation takes a sharp turn into the weirdest kind of American outrage: the kind that shows up when an Olympic athlete makes a personal decision. We talk Eileen Gu, national identity, and why people are acting like skiing is a frontline war. Then we pivot into the latest political headache, as Pete Hegseth ramps up his culture-war agenda—cutting Pentagon education ties with Harvard while also inviting major controversy into the building under the banner of “faith.”

And just when you think the episode is done being serious, we land where all great democracies eventually land: karaoke. Specifically, the moment karaoke stops being community fun and turns into an ego showcase… complete with a trophy and the kind of resentment that lasts longer than most marriages. Jesse, Olympics, politics, and petty performance wars—welcome to the Happy Hour. #JesseJackson #CivilRights #RainbowCoalition #politics #WinterOlympics #EileenGu #olympics #CultureWar #PeteHegseth #harvard #ChristianNationalism #unsolicitedperspectives
