Jesse Lee spoke on a Q&A panel discussion at A Night for Freedom in Washington, D.C., alongside promoter and friend Mike Cernovich, podcast host Stefan Molyneux, speaker and writer Milo Yiannopoulos, and Gabe Hoffman, producer of the documentary An Open Secret. 

Many young men and women asked how to break through the error in leftists’ thinking. Jesse pointed out that you cannot reason with evil. You must simply speak the truth without fear, and let people overreact or respond however they might. But never back down, and never be divided from others on the side of good simply because they’re under attack, nor even because you disagree on certain issues. Stand with one another so that we can remain united for the cause of good. 

Jesse pointed out an example with journalist Colin Flaherty, a unique reporter who lost his YouTube channel, because he exposes the hatred blacks express toward whites. Jesse brought him onto his program on Newsmax TV, to talk about what’s going on. Similarly, we all should support those on the side of truth when they go through challenges, in whatever way we can. 

After the Q&A session, we had dinner and socialized. Both young and old attended the event — it was refreshing to see so many young people who’ve escaped the leftist indoctrination of schools, media, and mainstream culture. Many people came up to Jesse to tell him how he changed their lives, simply through his videos on YouTube and his program on Newsmax TV, talking about about anger and forgiveness. Some of them probed deeper into the question of why one should forgive one’s mother for the mistakes she made. Almost universally, men and women resent their mothers; many do not recognize or admit it; many do not understand how to forgive and become independent and free. Jesse was able to talk in-depth with sincere people. 

During the event, Jesse ventured up to the street entrance to see Antifa protestors calling everybody “racist” and “sexist,” accusing attendees of “white privilege” because they paid to attend the private event in safety. Many wore masks, carried red communist flags, shouted and held vulgar and hateful signs depicting violence and ill will. 

Thanks to the police and the organizers’ excellent security team for keeping everybody safe from the vicious mob. 

Mike Cernovich, who planned the event, became the first to bring Milo, Stefan, and Jesse all to the same table. Look out for the podcast that they recorded during the Q&A. 

Thank you very much to Mike Cernovich and his team, as well as Stefan Molyneux, Milo Yiannopoulos, Gabe Hoffman, the VIP attendees, and everyone else who attended. We saw many well-known and friendly faces, including faithful listeners and callers to Jesse’s show from around the country. It was a great night.

In 2015, The National Center for Health Statistics reported that 77.3% of non-immigrant black births were illegitimate - or out of wedlock. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss the dangers of single motherhood, the impact not having a father has on the next generation, man deciding to forgo romantic relationships (MGTOW), and the importance of controlling sexual impulses.

Jesse Lee Peterson appeared on several panels at Politicon—an annual political convention held in Pasadena, Calif., July 29 and 30^th.

The first panel was on “Fatherhood, Community, and Our Cities” and it featured poet Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib, Jesse Lee Peterson, Dr. Alveda King, CNN political commentator Shermichael Singleton, and former Sean Hannity radio producer Elisha Krauss. Producer and talk show host Deborah Flora was the moderator.

During the discussion, Jesse said that the worst thing you can do to human beings is to give them free stuff. It corrupts them, makes them lazy. Jesse grew up in Alabama working, picking cotton on the plantation even as a school-age boy.

Jesse also said that if we’re giving welfare, we have to stop spoiling women and rewarding them for having more kids. Make them work and earn for themselves. The less government in your life, the better off you are. The reason urban areas fall apart is because of the lack of good men (who are more hated than Satan today).

A black woman with braids got up during Q&A and loudly disagreed with Jesse. She said it's about race, most of Los Angeles homeless population is black, and we put people behind bars like they're animals, and she blamed racism.

When the woman wouldn’t be quiet, Jesse said that's an example of the type of anger that is destroying black children in the homes, and causing them to go out-of-control with violence, crime, and sex.

Black panelist Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib said it's “whack” that Jesse would say her passion is causing the problem. Jesse said there's no love in her anger, although Hanif thinks there is.

Some young people in the Q & A session challenged the notion of the "nuclear family" or the need for kids to have fathers, being raised by single mothers, and still turning out well with a good education.

Jesse said education doesn't mean you're a good person — look at how corrupt Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Maxine Waters are — and they're educated!

Shermichael Singleton, who was fired as Deputy Chief of Staff at the Department of Housing and Urban Development by President Donald Trump, said that we can't chalk all the problems to just one thing without relying on government data about how well people are doing. Jesse said material things should not define success; success is treating your neighbor the way you'd like to be treated, being a free person of character. Parents build that in children when the man is the head of his wife, and they love the children in the right way. Unfortunately the government and most of society think that materialism is success.

Stay tuned for additional videos from other panels in the coming days. 

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson was invited to speak in Madera, CA as part of the “Rebuilding the Man Tour.” Madera County Supervisor Rick Farinelli, in conjunction with community leaders, sponsored this tour.

Thursday, March 17: Jesse spoke at a juvenile detention center to young men ages 14-17 graduating from a correctional academy, on the topic of personal responsibility. All the teenagers had problems with their parents. Most were raised without their fathers. Some of their mothers were on drugs. 

That evening, Jesse spoke at Valley State Prison in Chowchilla, CA to 150-200 male inmates. Most were doing long prison sentences for murder, armed robbery and other serious crimes, but based on their reaction to the talk, they were open and hungry for the truth.

An inmate who was serving time for killing a woman during a botched robbery said he has a lot of anger and tremendous guilt associated with the crime he committed. Jesse spoke to the man and to others through him about how guilt works on the mind. Jesse told the man that when human beings feel guilt they’ve allowed Satan to cause them to judge themselves for what they’ve done. He explained that evil clouds our judgment and convinces us to do things that we wouldn’t ordinarily do. 

The men all talked about the difficult relationships they had with their parents—especially their mothers. One young black man admitted that he hates his mother and wanted to know how to deal with his anger. Jesse told him he should start by letting his mother know that he resents her for whatever she’s done, and tell her that he’s sorry for hating her because he realizes what the anger has done to him. She was wrong, but he has been wrong too for hating her because the anger separated him from God and drove him to do things that he wouldn’t have done in his right mind. The young man was concerned about how his mother would react. Jesse told him not to worry about her reaction.

This man did exactly as Rev. Peterson suggested, and sent a LETTER to our offices detailing the result of his talk with his mother. It is a must read!" http://rebuildingtheman.com/letter-fr...

Friday, March 18: Jesse spoke at a “Break the Chains” graduation ceremony for male and female inmates at the Madera County Jail. The inmates were graduating from various classes including trade courses. Their children, parents and other family members were present. Jesse spoke about forgiveness, anger and admonished the parents for setting up their children to fail. 

In the evening Jesse spoke at Valley West Christian Center. The church helps people with addictions and many who attended are struggling with this as well as with anger. Jesse asked the audience who else among them had anger, and a pregnant young woman with a young daughter said she was angry with her boyfriend because he wouldn’t move in with her. The boyfriend said he doesn’t have a job and can’t afford to get a place. The young woman had a troubled background: Her mother was on drugs, her father was not around, and she was raised by a grandmother who failed her. She’s currently living in a shelter. The boyfriend told her he wasn’t going to get a place with her until she got over her anger. The woman blamed the boyfriend for her anger. The man apologized and said he didn’t want to be the cause of her anger.

Jesse was able to counsel them. He let the man know that he’s not responsible for his girlfriend’s anger because she was like that when he met her. He told the boyfriend that he should become a man and get a job, forgive, and do the right thing. He pointed out that his weakness is bringing out the anger in his girlfriend. The woman had a hard time hearing the truth. 

Then, an older well-spoken Hispanic woman told the young woman that she had better listen because she too was the product of an angry household where her mother hated her father. As a result of her own anger, she said her kids are both addicts. The woman admitted that she was bitter and angry—she was very honest. She said that she even came to church that evening mad, but added that after hearing Jesse’s talk and the testimonies of others in the church, she’s going to go and apologize to her daughter.

Jesse asked how many people had anger. He spent time discussing letting go of anger, including with a woman who felt anger toward herself. 

The audience was enthusiastic in Jesse’s Q&A afterward. Several people who attend BOND meetings (such as Church and Men's Forums) also traveled to hear him talk and engaged with Act for America chapter members. 

One man said he usually leaves these meetings angry and hopeless at what’s going on in the country. But this time he’s coming away hopeful. Jesse commonly hears this. 

Jesse talked about the engagement on his radio show the following day. Thanks, everyone!

On Tuesday, Nov. 1, Jesse Lee Peterson hosted an Election Town Hall Forum in Los Angeles with Trump, Hillary, and independent voters. On the stage representing their respective candidates were KEITH McCOWEN, former Republican Party nominee for the California State Assembly and County Deputy leader with the Trump campaign and BEATE CHELETTE, entrepreneur, nationally known “gender decoder,” and author of “The Woman’s Code" and "Happy Woman, Happy World."

Leaders and members of the NAACP as well as California State Assembly candidates were present. The discussion was honest and it did get heated at times. Black Trump supporters showed up in force and spoke their minds. An SEIU leader and Democrat candidate for State Assemblyman in California’s 55th district couldn’t defend Hillary’s record and when he was pressed to name one of her accomplishments he ran for the door!
