A group of American Olympic heroes will be absent from the State of the Union address despite a presidential invitation. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.

It's Thursday, February 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British preacher challenges buffer zones around abortion mills A preacher in Britain is challenging the country's abortion buffer zones which effectively censor the Bible. Officials arrested, charged, and convicted Stephen Green for holding a sign with a Bible verse near an abortion mill in 2023. The verse was Psalm 139:13 which says, “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Green stated, “As a Christian, I should be able to preach freely all over the land. Psalm 139 is about how we all belong to God from conception. Buffer zones and this conviction [are] a direct attack on the Bible and free speech.” Elon Musk endorsed new conservative political party in England Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed a new conservative political party in Britain last week. On Friday, Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe launched the Restore Britain Party. Musk shared the launch video on X which has received nearly 40 million views.  The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and the creeping Islamification of Britain. Rupert Lowe also stated the party will openly recognize the country's Christian heritage.  Listen. LOWE: “Restore Britain will openly recognize the Christian heritage that shaped this country's moral and civic foundation. (applause) Duty, restraint, forgiveness and, most importantly, fairness. These values created a high trust society. “Restore Britain will end the creeping Islamification of Britain. (applause)  Unfettered immigration from Islamic countries will end. (applause) Britain is a Christian country, and under Restore Britain government, it will remain a Christian country.” (applause) Church of England votes against blessing homosexual couples Last week, the Church of England  voted against proposals to allow blessing services for homosexual couples. The General Synod did not shut the door on the issue though, voting to investigate it in the future.  The move keeps the church from performing marriage services and blessing services for people living in unnatural relations. However, the Church of England's rules already allow blessing prayers within regular Sunday services for such couples.  Proverbs 25:26 says, “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.” Franklin Graham preached in world's southernmost city Evangelist Franklin Graham  preached in Ushuaia, Argentina. It's known as the southernmost city in the world. Listen. GRAHAM: “What makes Ushuaia so special are the people. We love the people. If you can't remember anything else tonight, remember this: God loves you. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our sins. We deserve death. We're guilty of sin. “Bartimaeus had no hope. There are many of you here tonight. You have no hope. Now, Bartimaeus cried at the right time. Jesus was passing by. The Bible says that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but he should have everlasting life.' “Will you invite Christ into your heart? Will you trust Him? Come. Come to Jesus.” Hundreds of people turned to Christ through the evangelistic outreach event. Graham wrote on X, “We give God the glory for each one who responded to the invitation to repent of their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” Eighty-two percent of South Americans identify as Roman Catholic, but evangelicalism has been growing in recent decades.    Graham also plans to visit Peru next month. 21 states challenge mail-order abortion kill pills In the United States, 21 states and 60 members of Congress are challenging mail-order abortion drugs. Louisiana initiated the case, challenging a Biden-era rule from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The rule removed the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug mifepristone.  Erik Baptist with Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “The Biden FDA's unlawful authorization of mail-order abortion drugs was meant to be a loophole around states that choose to protect life.” 41-year-old mother Olympic bobsledder wins gold (audio Olympic theme song) American Olympic bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor  won her first gold medal on Monday. The 41-year-old mother triumphed in the women's monobob event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.  She is now the oldest gold medalist in an individual Olympic event. After the victory, she said this on Instagram: “The moment we prayed for. Glory to God.” Norway has won the most gold medals Nearly 2,900 athletes from over 90 countries are competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics.  So far, Norway has won the most gold medals and the most medals overall. In the medal count, Norway is followed by Italy and the U.S. A podium finish can mean big prize money for athletes. A gold medalist from the U.S. can win $38,000. Athletes from Singapore can make the most for winning an individual event at $792,000.   Christian missionaries sharing Christ & Bibles in Olympic crowds And finally, Evangelicals are sharing the Gospel at the Winter Olympic Games this year. Hundreds of Southern Baptists alongside International Mission Board missionaries are joining the crowds to share Christ and distribute Bibles. Karen Herfurth is in Italy with a group from Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. She said, “This is a chance for Southern Baptists to reach more people and impact more lives! We may never know the difference this makes until we are in Heaven.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Todd reacts to comments from Team USA skier Hunter Hess and others, responding to President Trump's blunt criticism and the media's predictable framing. This episode dives deep into patriotism, free speech, law enforcement, immigration enforcement, and why loving your country doesn't mean pretending it's perfect.

In this episode, we check in with Vermonter Ben Ogden, a bona fide American Olympic medal hopeful at age 25. Ben catches us up on his summer training, his Olympic vibe and his World Cup facial hair hot takes.Comments? Complaints? Guest requests?

When it comes to the voices of American Olympic coverage, Leigh Diffey is one of the true standouts. The Aussie broadcaster worked his way up from calling local motorcycle races in Queensland, all the way to becoming the voice of track and field at both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics for NBC. But for Leigh, it was a journey he never planned — one that started on a completely different path, and somehow took him to the very top of global sports commentary. In this fascinating chat, Leigh shares his incredible rise through the ranks, reflects on his time as one of Australia's most recognisable motorsport voices in the 2000s, and reveals how he got the unexpected tap on the shoulder to call the Olympics.Along the way, we also hear some incredible stories — including run-ins with Russian politicians, messages from space, and what it was like to star in a movie alongside Brad Pitt. Candid, inspiring, and full of surprises, this is Leigh Diffey like you've never heard him before.

They hand out their coveted best-of-2024 awards and look at the people and things that shaped the landscape.

Ever wondered what drives an Olympic sprinter to the peak of their game? In this engaging episode, Baylor Barbee dives into the compelling story of Noah Lyles, an American Olympic sprinter whose journey to gold is as inspiring as it is instructive. With vivid insights and lessons from Lyles' recent 100 meters men's finals at the Olympics, Barbee illustrates the crucial line between confidence and cockiness, the importance of respecting competition, and the power of a strong finish. In the first part of the episode, Baylor Barbee uses Noah Lyles as a springboard to discuss the essential elements of unwavering self-belief. Highlighting Lyles' spirited confidence and the minor setbacks he faced, Barbee underscores that confidence, when truly backed by effort and results, is transformative in any field. Barbee encourages listeners to cultivate that internal fire, emphasizing that true confidence is rooted in self-awareness and the hard work one puts into honing their craft. In the second half, Barbee turns focus to the broader implications and lessons from Lyles' race. From not underestimating competitors to the strategic importance of finishing strong, Baylor relates these points back to everyday life and business scenarios. He offers a compelling narrative on the significance of maintaining momentum and pushing through adversities—hallmark tactics that can propel one towards success, both personally and professionally. This episode wraps up on an invigorating note, urging listeners to push hard towards their goals and never relent until the finish line is crossed. Key Takeaways: Unwavering Self-Belief: Confidence should be built on genuine self-awareness and hard work, not arrogance. Respect for Competition: Never underestimate your rivals; always maintain a healthy respect for their capabilities. Importance of Finishing Strong: The way you finish is often more critical than how you start; focus on building end-year momentum. Persistence Pays Off: Success can come down to the tiny margins; keep pushing till the very end. Learning from Setbacks: View early stumbles as opportunities to reassess and push harder. Notable Quotes: "You have to have an unwavering belief in yourself." – Baylor Barbee "Cocky is saying something you know is not true; true confidence is backed by effort and results." – Baylor Barbee "Don't make the mistake of losing out on your proverbial gold medal all because you underestimated the other guy." – Baylor Barbee "It's not over until you actually cross the finish line." – Baylor Barbee "Build on the momentum that we create through our actions right now so that we can finish strong." – Baylor Barbee   If you're looking to sharpen your mindset and achieve your goals, we've got you covered.

Their accomplishments should be part of the curriculum in every school in the U.S. because in so many ways, they embody what we think of when we talk about the American Dream.

It's the day after for America's new “golden girls” after Simone Biles and the women's gymnastics team trounced more than a half-dozen other countries to bring home the gold. Simone is now the most decorated American Olympic gymnast in history. Right after the big win she threw some shade on a fellow gymnast who questioned team USA's work ethic. And Donald Trump appeared at the National Association of Black Journalists today. And saying things were contentious would be an understatement. The former president kicked things off saying his introduction was rude, disgraceful, and horrible.Plus, while recovering from hip replacement surgery 70-year-old TV legend, Kathie Lee Gifford, fell - fracturing her pelvis in two places. Falling can be catastrophic, especially for those at Gifford's age. Ann Mercogliano has tips on how to take a fall without breaking anything. And a man fighting with a group of teens tubing on a river pulls a knife killing a 17-year-old. He claimed it was self-defense, but was found guilty of first-degree reckless homicide. Today, the judge handed down his sentence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's episode of STL Sports Minute with Ashley, we celebrate Team USA's gold medal victory in the women's team gymnastics final in Paris, France, where Simone Biles becomes the winningest American Olympic gymnast of all time.

He's coach to American Olympic marathoners Conner Mantz and Clayton Young, and also the guiding hand behind undergraduate steeplechaser James Corrigan's improbable--no, impossible--road to Paris.

This week's show brought to you by: MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races.  Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%. Check out the research and the results for yourself at masedge.com/iron. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. Fatty15 The benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids are widely espoused, and rightfully so, in almost every healthy diet in the world. The problem is that Omega-3 supplements face a lot of issues. From going rancid quickly to cheap forms not being absorbed. But thanks to Fatty15, now there's a better option. Fatty15's C15 omega-3 is made from a patented, oxidation-resistant form of pure C15 derived from plants. It's vegan-friendly, free of flavors, fillers, allergens or preservatives. Plus, independent studies have shown is has 3x the healthy-aging cell benefits of omega-3 or fish oil and that it's 3x better, broader, and safer than traditional omega-3. C15 works in multiple ways: It repairs age-related damage to cells, protects them from future breakdown, and boosts mitochondrial energy output. Fatty15 is on a mission to replenish your C15 levels and restore your long-term health.

In this episode of A Runner's Life podcast, Corey, Phillip, Rob, and yours truly talk about stress management in our training, and uncover the deeper reasons behind why we run. No fluff, just real talk. We kick off with Rob's beauty updates, a segment that's quickly become a fan favourite. But this time, he's delivering a lesson we never knew we needed. Then, it's all about CJ's latest endeavour—the Jordan purchase before Tokyo. And of course, Phil's got his Jordans on the clutch, providing a YouTube-style review of the new Air Jordan (AJ) 3 Craft Ivory. We talk about the release of the new AJ4 Bred reimagined. Plus we give our reactions to the Olympic trials, including a shoutout to Sara Hall, we cover it all. Ever wondered what Eliud Kipchoge would be like if he weren't the Yoda of running? And he was just an American working full time trying to qualify for the American Olympic marathon trials? We explore that, along with sharing personal experiences like Rob ending up in the medical tent after emptying the tank. Stress management takes centre stage as Phil surprises us with an unexpectedly honest solution. We discuss how stress impacts our running and everyday lives, minus the scientific jargon. But it's not all serious talk. Phil shares a poignant story about finding his "why" in memory of a friend, reminding us of the deeper motivations that drive us forward. And finally, we discuss the significance of the Boston jacket—when it's appropriate wear and when it's just a flex.

Adolf Hitler wanted the 1936 Berlin Olympics to be a coming out party for his Aryan Master Race.  Jesse Owens crashed the venue by winning four gold medals. Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympic Long Jump Owens then had to hustle to the long jump competition which also began at 10:30 AM.  Here he faced an athlete from Germany who was his first formidable foreign competition, a 22 year old German; Carl Ludwig “Luz” Long.  Long was the current German and European record holder, not quite Owens equal but certainly dangerous if Jesse should falter.  And, proving that he was human, Jesse did initially stumble during what should have been an easy qualification.  He was charged with his first of three jumps when he typically jogged on the runway and through the landing area just to get a feel for the surface.  This American warmup practice was unknown in Europe and despite even the head coach of the American track and field contingent getting into the face of the officials, the practice jump counted.  The incident seemed to rattle Owens, his second jump was only 23 feet, 3 inches, short of what he needed to qualify for the next round and more than three feet shorter than his own world record. Avery Brundage, 1941 Conversely, and fortunately from Nazi Germany's perspective, the head of the American Olympic Committee, Avery Brundage, was adamantly opposed to any interference in American Olympic participation due to politics.  Brundage, a wealthy and dictatorial administrator, once famously stated that the Olympic Games belong to the athletes and not to the politicians.  He officially travelled to Germany to assess the situation and after a series of carefully choreographed interactions with German officials, he was able to convince the IOC to agree to US participation. Jesse Owens cottage used during 1936 Olympics today. Although he was due to run in the finals of the 200 meters on Wednesday, August 5, Jesse Owens tried to throttle back some of the intensity of the previous 48 hours.  He was already the biggest celebrity of the Olympic games and despite his attempt to sleep late on Wednesday morning, his brick guest house swarmed with fans and even athletes crowding around the windows trying to get a glimpse of the American track star. Jesse Owens publicity info for one of his clothing chain jobs Jesse would have to hustle for the next few years to make a living with more barnstorming tours and various promotional gigs associated with black clothing stores and dry cleaning establishments. With German Chancellor Willy Brandt at 1972 Olympics 1972 also brought another Olympics, this the ill-fated games at Munich which involved the terrorist murder of 11 Israeli Olympic athletes.  Despite this tragic event and in spite of some controversy over whether the games should continue they did and Jesse Owens got caught up in mediating another racially charged situation. Tommie Smith and John Carlos, Mexico City protest, 1968. Jesse Owens travelled to the 1968 Olympics as a guest of the Mexican government, a consultant to the US Olympic Committee and a radio commentator for the Mutual broadcasting network.  Although Owens must have been astonished when long jumper Bob Beamon broke the existing world record by almost two feet, much more impactful was a coordinated protest by two black track athletes, Tommy Smith and John Carlos.  Winning gold and bronze respectively, in the 200 meters, while on the victory podium the two athletes raised their black gloved fists during the playing of the American national anthem.  While the protest caused a media sensation that reverberated around the world, it prompted great anger from the US Olympic committee and especially Avery Brundage, still the President of the IOC.  Owens was sent to meet with a group of athletes to attempt to mitigate the situation and possibly extract a face-saving apology before the IOC punished anyone.  He failed miserably to even get any white participants to leave the meeting, the consensus that they supported Smith and Carlos more than he did.  Sadly, the lengthy session deteriorated into anger and recriminations.  The next day the IOC kicked Carlos and Smith out of the Olympic Village and suspended them from Olympic competition.  When questioned as to why it was acceptable for Germans to use the Nazi salute on the victory stand, but that Smith and Carlos' behavior was unacceptable, Avery Brundage actually replied that the Nazi salute was the accepted national salute in the country in that time period. Jerry Ford awarding the Medal of Freedom Jesse Owens spent the next eight years doing what he had done for some time, public speaking.  By now, he would enthrall audiences with yarns about being personally snubbed by Hitler and the help he received from Luz Long and other tales, occasionally admitting to particularly determined journalists that these stories were embroidered so that “people got to hear what they wanted to hear and I got paid for telling them.”  He received an honorary degree from Ohio State, awards from the NCAA, induction into the track and field Hall of Fame, the Medal of Freedom from President Gerald Ford and the Living Legends Award from President Jimmy Carter, Owens now perceived as a national treasure without any partisan stigma.

The Boys were reluctantly monitoring the opening ceremony for this year's Olympics, and China trotted out a Uyghur muslim, while NBC helped deliver the narrative. Chinese authorities remove a Dutch journalist during a report, and an AP reporter takes down Ned Price in a press conference. A Virginia mother tees off against the school board over mandates, and a doctor warns of medical totalitarianism amid the COVID-19 crackdown. Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells American Olympic athletes to shut up and dribble, and MSNBC holds the governor of Texas accountable for not being able to stop the rain from falling. Major news outlets completely ignore the Johns Hopkins report on COVID lockdowns, and a cold snap has consumed the country, as well as The Friday Five – Best Cold, Ice, Snow, and Freeze Songs.
