Podcasts about George Washington

The State of the Union Address is one of the most anticipated political events of the year. Of course, it's surrounded by tradition and ceremony. All three branches of the federal government gather in the House Chamber, the galleries pack with guests from every walk of life, the pundits gather their audiences, and the cameras all focus on one carefully crafted message from the leader of the free world.  But it's not just custom or tradition that gives rise to this historic event every year. It actually goes all the way back to the American founding, to the Constitution itself. Article II, Section 3, Clause 1 of the constitution reads as follows:  The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” George Washington, then, was the first to give an address to congress. His eventual successor, Thomas Jefferson, submitted his remarks in writing, which set a precendent of written States of the Union. Over a century later, in 1913, Woodrow Wilson restored the practice of giving the speech in person. And that custom has stood to this day.  Last night, we heard President Donald Trump give the first State of the Union address of his second term. The speech covered many of his accomplishments over the first year of this administration. Here to walk us through it is Dan West, Government Relations Director at Heritage Action for America.  --- Thoughts? Questions?

This week on "50 Weeks That Shaped America," we're headed to the winter of 1777-1778 and the strategic retreat by the Continental Army to Valley Forge, PA. Over the course of that winter, George Washington worked to turn the army from a group of ragtag militias into a unified force -- all with the help of a mysterious Prussian general. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss how Valley Forge was effectively a pop-up city, and how it reflected what would come in an independent United States.Join our America250 newsletter community!

National FFA Week: The February 23 edition of the AgNet News Hour put the spotlight on one of the most influential youth organizations in agriculture, the National FFA Organization. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill opened the program discussing improving weather conditions across California as bloom season approaches, but the heart of the show focused on celebrating National FFA Week and the leadership pipeline shaping agriculture's future. Joining the program was Christy Meyer, Marketing and Communications Director for the National FFA Organization. Meyer shared that FFA now serves more than one million members nationwide, with over 9,000 chapters across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Established in 1948, National FFA Week was strategically designed to include George Washington's birthday, honoring his agricultural roots and reinforcing farming's foundational role in America. Throughout the week, chapters host service projects, alumni celebrations, advisor appreciation events, and community outreach efforts. One of the most impactful days is Advisor Appreciation Day, recognizing agricultural educators who often serve as mentors well beyond the classroom. Papagni emphasized that nearly every FFA member he has interviewed credits a teacher or advisor for life-changing guidance. Meyer noted that FFA participation does not require growing up on a farm. Students enroll through agricultural education courses that range from animal science and plant science to agricultural technology and agribusiness. The organization prepares students for more than 300 agriculture-related career pathways, including food science, engineering, communications, research, and emerging ag technologies. Leadership development remains the cornerstone of the organization. Public speaking, critical thinking, community service, and hands-on supervised agricultural experiences (SAEs) equip members with marketable skills that translate well beyond agriculture. McGill shared his own background studying agricultural education and acknowledged how FFA builds confidence and professionalism in young leaders. The program also touched on broader agricultural policy developments, including federal efforts to prioritize domestic glyphosate and phosphate production. Hosts noted that strengthening agricultural inputs at home could help stabilize costs for growers nationwide. As bloom season begins and spring approaches, the message was clear: the future of agriculture depends not only on technology and policy, but on cultivating the next generation of leaders. National FFA Week serves as a reminder that agriculture's strength lies in its people, and the young men and women proudly wearing blue jackets today may soon be leading farms, companies, and communities tomorrow.

The Global Freedom Report with Brent Johnson Common Law Pure Trusts This broadcast, hosted by Brent Johnson and sponsored by Freedom Bound International, explores the intersection of historical American principles and modern-day strategies for personal liberty. The episode features urgent security alerts, historical analysis of the Revolutionary War, and a deep dive into asset protection through Common Law Pure Trusts. Urgent Security Alerts and Current Events The program opens with a critical emergency warning for all Americans currently in Mexico to leave the country immediately. Following the death of a cartel leader known as "El Mencho," cartel members have reportedly taken over the Puerto Vallarta airport and are actively seeking Americans to target in retaliation for U.S. assistance to the Mexican army. Additionally, the show notes a breaking security incident at Mar-a-Lago, where Secret Service agents fatally shot an armed intruder who breached the perimeter, though President Trump was not on the premises at the time. Historical Foundations of Liberty Host Brent Johnson reflects on the influence of Thomas Paine, whose pamphlet Common Sense is credited with moving colonial support for independence from 25% to over 50%. The narrative highlights the extreme hardships faced by George Washington's Continental Army, emphasizing that the struggle for freedom was a "long shot" against the world's most powerful military. Johnson draws a parallel between the colonists' dependency on the British Crown and modern Americans' dependency on government regulations, suggesting that true liberty requires breaking this cycle of "dependency on the oppressor". The Philosophy and Practice of Asset Protection A central focus of the broadcast is the "Common Law Pure Trust," a device used for asset protection since 1790. Johnson argues that because "ownership equals liability," individuals should seek to own nothing personally while maintaining control through irrevocable trusts. Unlike statutory trusts created by the state, Pure Trusts are based on the constitutional right to contract and are intended to create an "ironclad wall" around property, vehicles, and businesses to shield them from government seizure or personal lawsuits. Public Discourse and Listener Rants Listeners contributed "Rants and Raves" regarding institutional mind control and the perceived infiltration of communist principles in America. One caller, Lee Parker, criticized the "grooming" of children in schools and the use of fear during the pandemic as forms of behavioral manipulation. Another caller, Jaylene, recounted a list of "salient points" for subverting a country—including planting fear and creating gender confusion—which the host linked to the 45 principles of communism entered into the Congressional Record in 1963. The Global Freedom Report emphasizes that freedom is a "birthright" granted by God rather than a privilege bestowed by the state. By combining historical awareness of the American spirit with practical legal tools like Pure Trusts, the program aims to empower listeners to reclaim their property rights and personal sovereignty in an increasingly regulated society.

A battle is brewing between an angry Federal Judge in Philadelphia, the Third Circuit Court of appeals and the Trump Administration, that wants to deny that slavery existed in this country and white wash immutable facts that our founding fathers owned slaves and erase that fact from a tribute to George Washington's slaves at a historic site in Philly dedicated to our nation's founding. Popok reports on Judge Rufe second order in 48 hours compelling the Trump Administration to restore the site they defaced WITH A CROWBAR, as Trump runs to the Third Circuit hoping that he will get one of his former criminal defense lawyers as a judge on the case!

What are we teaching our children about America, and what are we neglecting?Jenn is joined by Katie Broussard, founder of The Littlest Statesmen and author of The Great George Washington, the first book in a seven-part series that introduces young children to the lives and characters of America's Founders. A simple question from her three-year-old daughter about the Fourth of July led Katie to recognize how few resources exist to teach young children about the nation's history, ideals, and sacrifices. That realization became a calling.In this conversation, Katie explains why the early years matter in shaping a child's understanding of country, responsibility, and gratitude. She shares why stories of figures like George Washington and Betsy Ross belong alongside the fairy tales children already know. The discussion also examines why expressing appreciation for America's founding principles has become divisive and what that shift means for families.Find more from her at https://www.thelittleststatesmen.comMake sure you're following Them Before Us across all of our social media platforms, subscribe on thembeforeus.substack.com and consider joining our TBU Ambassador program!

Is the Trump administration about to admit the existence of aliens? Glenn reacts to President Trump discussing the potential declassification of classified documents on extraterrestrial life for public viewing. Glenn takes calls from his audience to discuss topics such as the Epstein files and the possibility of alien life. During a recent interview, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice warned companies that once the Democrats retake power, they will go after those who worked with Trump. Glenn tells the uplifting story of American figure skater Alysa Lui, whose father escaped communist China, as Alysa just won the gold medal for figure skating in the Winter Olympics. In a shocking decision, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump does not have the tariff authority he claimed, effectively ending most of his tariffs. Neuroscientist Axel Bouchon joins to discuss what happens in our brain chemistry when we're allowed to find connection over animosity.

The IRS has lost tens of thousands of employees since President Donald Trump took office – the result of DOGE, policy differences, last year's government shutdown, and layoffs. Now that we're in tax season, the agency is asking thousands of untrained employees from other departments to help with taxpayer services. Those job cuts and changes could, at best, slow down your refund. At worst, the IRS could be far less able to stop scammers. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is insisting that taxpayers will be getting bigger refunds this year. The problem is, prices on basically everything are still super high – which gives people less of a chance to hold onto that money. And will anyone even remember their tax refunds when they head out to vote in November? For more, we spoke with Vanessa Williamson, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and author of “The Price of Democracy: The Revolutionary Power of Taxation in American History.”And in headlines, Arizona Republicans want to send ICE officers to polling places, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes the stand in a case weighing if social media platforms deliberately addict and harm children, and the Trump administration pushes back against a court order to restore an exhibit on people enslaved by George Washington in Philadelphia.Show Notes: Check out Vanessa's book – brookings.edu/books/the-price-of-democracy/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

You might recall that, just a few weeks ago, the Trump administration tore down an exhibit in Philadelphia - a public exhibit that documented American history, including an exhibit about nine people enslaved by George Washington at his former home in Philadelphia. On Presidents' Day, Judge Cynthia Rufe, (who, incidentally, was appointed to the bench by another George - George W. Bush) - quoted George Orwell's "1984" in her opinion. She ruled that the Trump administration likely violated the law and she ordered them to restore the slavery exhibit. It seems the federal judiciary will not allow Trump and his flunkies to violated the law in their efforts to whitewash American history and try to bury evidence of America's original sin - slavery.

When the Second Continental Congress calmly reshuffled the revolutionary army's high command on 19th February 1777, they couldn't have known they were detonating a grievance in one of their most daring and battle-tested commanders: Benedict Arnold. Arnold was certain that he had the merit and seniority to be promoted, but instead saw junior officers leapfrogging him in a decision printed for all to see. It was the first of many humiliations, arguably leading ultimately to his scandalous defection to the British. George Washington, aware of the dangers, wrote tactfully to Arnold, urging patience and suggesting the omission might yet be corrected. But Arnold's sensitivity to honour had deep roots: born into a once-prominent Rhode Island family whose fortunes declined through his father's alcoholism, his whole military career can be seen as an attempt to rehabilitate his reputation.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how history would remember this turncoat and traitor had he died instead at the Battles of Seratoga; explain how the seeds of his treachery were sewn in his marriage to Peggy Shippen; and ask whether the chip on his shoulder was truly justified…  Further Reading: • ‘BENEDICT ARNOLD: HERO, TRAITOR...

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason dives straight into Health and Wellness Wednesday, blending financial clarity, mental resilience, and physical health in a way only John Rush can. Financial expert Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com/) joins the show to unpack a critical question: can AI really guide your retirement and risk planning, or is it dangerously incomplete without human insight? How much risk is right at 50, 60, or 70—and why is “one-size-fits-all” such a trap? The hour then takes a powerful, personal turn as John and Luke Cashman tackle mental health, responsibility, and resilience, sharing real-life experiences about pressure, inherited depression, short fuses, and learning how to manage life's “dark clouds.” What's the difference between having a bad day and true clinical depression—and why do these conversations matter more than we admit? Health expert Dr. Julie Gatz of Florida Wellness Institute (https://naturessources.com/dr-julie-gatza/) rounds out the hour with eye-opening insights into aging, digestion, brain health, and nutrition. Why do meals suddenly feel heavier as we age? Are we overfed—but undernourished? And could decades of dietary advice have missed something essential to our hormones and mental clarity? This hour challenges assumptions—and invites listeners to rethink health from the inside out. Guest Timestamps * Al Smith – Golden Eagle Financial: 2:18 * Luke Cashman - Mental Health: 11:21 * Dr. Julie Gatz – Florida Wellness Institute: 30:34 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason opens with a powerful history lesson as Richard Battle (Https://RichardBattle.com), makes the case for restoring George Washington's Birthday as a standalone national holiday. Why has America blurred the legacy of its greatest leader—and what do we lose when Washington's character, sacrifice, and refusal of power are forgotten? Battle explains why Washington remains unmatched. The hour intensifies as Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org) joins John Rush for a hard-hitting discussion on free childcare, public education, Marxism, and government overreach. Is “free” ever really free—and who ultimately pays the price? Using New York City as a test case, they break down massive budgets, rising taxes, and political promises that don't add up. How do fear-based narratives spread so easily, and what happens when facts are ignored? This hour challenges history, culture, and power—and asks listeners to decide where government should stop. Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle – Author/Historian: 1:13 * Al Smith – Golden Eagle Financial: 11:48 * Sunny Kutcher – Young Americans Against Socialism: 28:13 HOUR 3 Hour 3 moves fast and hits hard, opening with Jay Towne, former U.S. Attorney and legal analyst for Newsmax, who breaks down the SAVE Act and dismantles viral claims about voter suppression. What's real, what's flat-out false. The conversation widens into media bias, algorithm-driven news feeds, and the collapse of critical thinking, asking how democracy survives when headlines replace facts. The hour then pivots to aviation safety and merit, as John takes on DEI hiring in the cockpit and reacts to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's warning: competence matters when lives are on the line. Are airlines lowering standards—and should passengers be concerned? Economic reality follows as Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com/) explains why inflation is cooling, inventories are piling up, and why high interest rates—not tariffs—are crushing discretionary spending. The hour closes with sharp cultural commentary—asking one final question: has common sense completely left the building?

Why do meals suddenly feel heavier as we age? Are we overfed—but undernourished? And could decades of dietary advice have missed something essential to our hormones and mental clarity? This hour challenges assumptions—and invites listeners to rethink health from the inside out. Guest Timestamps * Al Smith – Golden Eagle Financial: 2:18 * Luke Cashman - Mental Health: 11:21 * Dr. Julie Gatz – Florida Wellness Institute: 30:34 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason opens with a powerful history lesson as Richard Battle (Https://RichardBattle.com), makes the case for restoring George Washington's Birthday as a standalone national holiday. Why has America blurred the legacy of its greatest leader—and what do we lose when Washington's character, sacrifice, and refusal of power are forgotten? Battle explains why Washington remains unmatched. The hour intensifies as Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org) joins John Rush for a hard-hitting discussion on free childcare, public education, Marxism, and government overreach. Is “free” ever really free—and who ultimately pays the price? Using New York City as a test case, they break down massive budgets, rising taxes, and political promises that don't add up. How do fear-based narratives spread so easily, and what happens when facts are ignored? This hour challenges history, culture, and power—and asks listeners to decide where government should stop. Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle – Author/Historian: 1:13 * Al Smith – Golden Eagle Financial: 11:48 * Sunny Kutcher – Young Americans Against Socialism: 28:13 HOUR 3 Hour 3 moves fast and hits hard, opening with Jay Towne, former U.S. Attorney and legal analyst for Newsmax, who breaks down the SAVE Act and dismantles viral claims about voter suppression. What's real, what's flat-out false. The conversation widens into media bias, algorithm-driven news feeds, and the collapse of critical thinking, asking how democracy survives when headlines replace facts. The hour then pivots to aviation safety and merit, as John takes on DEI hiring in the cockpit and reacts to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's warning: competence matters when lives are on the line. Are airlines lowering standards—and should passengers be concerned? Economic reality follows as Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com/) explains why inflation is cooling, inventories are piling up, and why high interest rates—not tariffs—are crushing discretionary spending. The hour closes with sharp cultural commentary—asking one final question: has common sense completely left the building?

It's not “Presidents' Day.” Legally, it's George Washington's Birthday—and we've quietly erased the one American who actually deserves a national holiday.- This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN. Get an extra 4 months free. https://expressvpn.com/goldIn this episode, I explain how a 1968 law moved holidays to Mondays, how retail “Presidents' Day” sales hijacked the meaning, and why Washington's character matters: the war hero who survived what should've killed him, turned down a crown, stepped away after two terms, and personally led troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion.We also cover a modern contrast: government subsidies and incentives that raise prices, distort markets, and create the very “affordability” problems politicians pretend to solve.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open: No Friends in the Pits00:20 Show Intro: The Peter Schiff Show Begins00:55 Why It's George Washington's Birthday (Not “Presidents' Day”)02:46 How “Presidents' Day” Sales Hijacked the Holiday05:32 Washington's Early Life & French and Indian War Heroics09:22 Leading the Revolution: Beating the World's Strongest Army12:07 Turning Down a Crown & Setting the Two-Term Precedent13:39 The Whiskey Rebellion: A President Who Led from the Front16:27 Why Washington Deserves the Holiday (And the Modern Debate)19:32 Pepsi Cuts Prices 15%: The SNAP Junk Food Policy Angle23:08 The Bigger Lesson: Subsidies Raise Prices (College, Housing, More)25:34 Why Subsidies Make Housing, College & Healthcare More Expensive26:48 Trump on Keeping Home Prices High (and the Credit-Fueled Fix)28:57 Affordability 101: Demand Down or Supply Up?30:15 SNAP Benefits as Money Supply: How It Spills Into Everything33:43 The Farm Subsidy Paradox: Paying to Raise Food Prices38:31 Government Spending, Inflation, and the Case for Gold39:11 Gold & Silver Levels + Why to Dump Bitcoin40:37 MicroStrategy/Strategy and Michael Saylor: The “Legal Ponzi” Critique47:23 Palm Beach “Trump Airport” Trademark Story50:44 Wrap-Up: Calls to Action, Subscribing, and Sign-OffFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/newsFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/books#PresidentsDay #WashingtonsBirthday #HistoryFactsOur Sponsors:* Check out GhostBed: https://ghostbed.com/PETER* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

From the American people’s first resistance to attacks on their God-given or “inalienable” rights, through the dramatic battlefield events of the Revolution and General George Washington’s pivotal faith-based leadership, to the climactic surrender of Cornwallis’s British army at Yorktown, God was directing the course of History. Rod Gragg will join us to expose the long-overlooked but critical element that kept alive the American War for Independence and motivated the ultimate victory that established the United States of America. In the words of George Washington: “The Hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith. . . .”Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

America's founders warned us about political parties — and today we are living inside that warning. In this episode, I break down how the modern GOP, the courts, immigration policy, and foreign policy failures all connect to the same structural problem George Washington predicted over 200 years ago. Why does the Right keep losing even after winning elections? Why are deportations stalled, courts overruling policy, and voters feeling unrepresented? The answer may not be bad politicians — it may be the system itself. I explain why the "Uniparty" is stronger than ever. We dive deep into George Washington's farewell address and his prophetic warning about the dangers of political factions. I also tackle foreign policy and the shocking alignment with Qatar and Turkey, the betrayal of the Kurds in Syria, and the abandonment of U.S. pilots in Guinea. It's time to stop waiting for a savior and start building a parallel movement for ordered liberty. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Exposing Black History Myths by John Doyle. Black Inventions, Thomas Jefferson's Black Children, Harriet Tubman, Tuskegee Airmen, Redlining etc… The “Tuskegee Airmen” is just a myth btw “Redlining” literally wasn't a real thing btw “Black Wall Street” was not real and the “Tulsa Race Massacre” didn't happen btw They like John Brown because they want to be able to kill your family for “anti-racism” and “trans rights” btw Top 10 things black people claim they invented but actually didn't btw The “Harriet Tubman” legend is literally a myth invented by like 2 Communist writers btw Black nationalists thought that Liberia was going to be Wakanda and then showed up there only to find slavery and then get deported for being mad about it btw Thomas Jefferson didn't actually have a kid with his slave btw Europeans didn't have to go capture Africans in the jungle like on TV because they were already being sold by other Africans for like a thousand years btw Black people were enslaving other black people on American soil before George Washington was even born btw The “Rosa Parks” story is literally not even approximately true btw John Doyle https://x.com/JohnDoyle    @JohnDoyle· John Doyle @JohnDoyle Patriot @theblaze USA YouTube.com/JohnDoyle 124.3K Followers

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/16/26), Hank reflects on the words of one of the great presidents of the United States of America, George Washington. Every February we celebrate Presidents Day, a holiday that originated as Washington's Birthday in 1885. Hank seeks to answer the question, “Why celebrate Presidents Day today—nearly 300 years after Washington's birth on February 22, 1732?” There are some obvious reasons. Washington was, of course, our first president. He served as commander-in-chief of colonial armies during the American Revolution. He set the standard for all presidents that would follow in his train. He was a man of great personal integrity. He famously established the maxim that liberty is greater than any singular individual. And, Hank's favorite reason for celebrating this holiday, he is eminently quotable. “It is better to live alone than in bad company.” “Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” “All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual, and physical education I received from her.” These quotes from George Washington show that he was a president who knew the Bible, as they all echo what is taught in Holy Scripture.
