Podcast appearances and mentions of Jim Messina

Donald Trump's sycophantic FBI director, Kash Patel, has reportedly caused a rift between the FBI and the Secret Service for impulsively posting to social media about an investigation that was still ongoing, part of a pattern of Patel being unable to restrain himself. Patel's embarrassment comes as he is newly accused of making payouts to his inner circle from a taxpayer funded slush fund. Senator Adam Schiff joins Jen Psaki to discuss.

Jen Psaki reports on a wild day in Republican politics as Rep. Thomas Massie was defeated in an insanely expensive Kentucky primary by a Trump-backed challenger. Massie's advocacy for the release of the Epstein files put him at odds with Trump. Senator John Cornyn committed no act of defiance against Trump, and, in fact, debased himself in a desperate appeal for Trump's favor, only to be stabbed in the back when Trump endorsed his exceptionally compromised opponent. Tim Miller, host of The Bulwark podcast, and Jim Messina, campaign manager for Barack Obama's 2012 campaign, talk with Jen Psaki about the wildly expensive Republican primary in Kentucky in which Trump insisted on supporting a challenger candidate, and the millions the Republican Party sank into the Texas Republican Senate primary before Trump finally endorsed a deeply flawed candidate. Acting Attorney General and former Donald Trump criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche tried to convince the Senate Appropriations Committee that giving Donald Trump $1.8 billion to distribute to his legally aggrieved political allies is a reasonable thing to do. Senator Chris Van Hollen talks with Jen Psaki about why he wasn't fooled. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

El poder del mal no es algo que podamos explicar ni comprender, manejar o destruir por nosotros mismos. Es algo misterioso. sobrecogedor e inexplicable. En el relato de Hechos, capítulo 19, el demonio dice que conoce a Jesús y que sabe de Pablo, lo que es más que saber de ello. Es enfrentarse a ellos, conocer su poder. Jesús se enfrentó a las poderosas fuerzas del mal y acabó venciéndolas. Aunque se continúen manifestando, han sido finalmente destruidas, porque Él ha triunfado en la Cruz sobre ellas. Por la victoria de su Resurrección sabemos que sus días están contados. Como dice el viejo himno, "hay poder en Jesús". Y esa está "en la Cruz". El ahora pastor Richie Furay, fundó el mítico grupo Buffalo Springfield en California con Neil Young y Stephen Stills, luego la banda Poco con Jim Messina y su última formación con el Byrd, Chris Hilman y J. D. Souther, antes de su conversión al cristianismo evangélico en la Capilla Calvario de la Revolución por Jesús. Llegó a publicar cuatro álbumes entre 1976 y 1982, inspirados por su nueva fe, antes de entrar en el ministerio de esta iglesia a tiempo completo. En el primero descubre que "el diablo es un mentiroso / el peor que existe / tan sutil, siempre disfrazado / pero al final no se lleva el premio" ( Still Rollling Stones 1976). Sobre "El engañador" (The Deceiver 1984) habla también Mike Peters con The Alarm. El músico galés se enfrentó a él en una lucha continua contra el dolor y la enfermedad hasta ser "promovido a la Gloria", el pasado 2025. Su fe le llenó de esperanza hasta el final. Escuchamos esta vez una versión en vivo de este impresionante tema. Maria Muldaur fue una de las cantautoras de folk y blues que estaba en el Village de Nueva York con Bob Dylan en los años 60. Tras cantar con los Grateful Dead de San Francisco en los 70, se convirtió al cristianismo en los 80. Hizo algunos discos inspirados por su fe, como "Sweet and Slow" de 1983, donde asegura en esta maravillosa canción que "El diablo va a pagar por ello" (There´s Going To Be The Devil To Pay). Los últimos años el cine comercial de Hollywood ha encontrado en el mundo del cómic, su principal inspiración para atraer al público más joven a la gran pantalla. "Constantine" (2005) está basado en una serie de DC que se llama "Hellblazer". Habla de la guerra entre Dios y Lucifer por las almas de la humanidad. El personaje de Keanu Reeves se enfrenta a unos demonios que no pueden manifestarse abiertamente, pero poseen e influyen a los seres humanos. Escuchamos varios diálogos de la versión doblada al castellano de la película con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora original de Brian Tyler y Klaus Badelt. Aunque en este programa no somos muy aficionados al "metal", no ha habido en su versión "blanca" un grupo con letras tan explícitamente cristianas y de enfrentamiento al Maligno como Stryper. Formada en 1983 en el contexto de la Capilla Calvario, la banda de Michael Sweet se hizo famosa por tirar biblias desde el escenario y proclamar con la cita que acompaña su nombre, que "por sus llagas somos curados" (Isaías 53:7), Mandamos con ellos "¡Al diablo al infierno!" (To Hell With The Devil 1986). El diseño sonoro y la realización técnica de estos programas es obra de Daniel Panduro.

Jen Psaki looks at the political signs, from special elections to fundraising totals, that Donald Trump's political favor is fading fast and he has buried himself in messes he doesn't know how to fix. Jim Messina, former campaign manager for Barack Obama, talks with Jen about the strategy Democrats should be pursuing to maximize their advantage while Donald Trump's unpopularity weighs down Republican candidates. Rep. Pat Ryan and Rep. Chris Deluzio talk with Jen Psaki about Donald Trump's mismanagement of his war of choice in Iran and the bizarre distraction of Pete Hegseth's obnoxiousness. New Jersey Congresswoman-elect Analilia Mejia joins Jen to discuss the political winds that helped her win her special election.

CarneyShow 03.19.26 Jim Messina, Mark Maxwell, Brendan Wiese, Royal Oakes by

Ahead of his March 14 concert at the Fairfield Theatre Company, Allan Lamberti chats with Jim Messina about his new tour, his career and music from Buffalo Springfield to Poco to Loggins and Messina, to what it's like when someone covers your song - everyone from Elvis to Poison.

Making his much-awaited reappearance with podcast host, Rick Flynn, Rick Flynn and recording star Jim Messina first met years ago when a young Rick Flynn was a weekly newspaper columnist with his own award-winning "Rick Flynn's Music Scene" Feature column which appeared in a handful of Greater Cincinnati newspapers back in the 1970's. James Messina (born December 5, 1947) is an American musician, songwriter, singer, guitarist, recording engineer, and record producer. He was a member of the folk rock group Buffalo Springfield, a founding member of the pioneering country rock band Poco, and half of the soft rock duo Loggins and Messina with Kenny Loggins. Jim Messina appears today, on the Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast, in promotion of his brand-new band "Jim Messina and the Road Runners" which are based out of the Nashville, TN area and are about to embark on a 2026 American Tour playing both new and classic selections for all audiences to hear and enjoy."This appearance with Jim Messina today is indeed another dream come true and I consider it to be an honor," Rick says.Contact Jim at: www.JimMessina.com and visit him out on the road with his new band "The Road Runners."

If you've ever turned up the radio and belted out Footloose at the top of your lungs — or strutted around the house pretending you're Maverick flying a fighter jet to Danger Zone — then you already know the magic of Kenny Loggins, the undisputed king of the ‘80s movie soundtrack and a bonafide soft rock legend. But there's way more to Kenny Loggins than just toe-tapping anthems and blockbuster film credits. His story is pure classic rock gold, filled with sun-soaked California beginnings, powerhouse collaborations, and an uncanny knack for writing hits that stand the test of time.Born Kenneth Clark Loggins in Washington, Kenny grew up in the golden haze of Southern California's music boom. While his friends were trying to score surfboards, young Kenny was writing songs in his bedroom and dreaming up hooks that would one day echo through stadiums. He cut his teeth as a songwriter for hire, landing cuts with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.Kenny's story really kicks in when he teams up with ex-Poco and Buffalo Springfield member Jim Messina. Enter Loggins & Messina, the folk-rock duo that ruled the early ‘70s with feel-good harmonies and radio-friendly hits.These guys were the ultimate laid-back rock bros — they sold millions of records, filled arenas, and gave Kenny the confidence to step out on his own when the partnership ended in '76.When he did go solo, he doubled down. He scored a huge hit with “Whenever I Call You ‘Friend',” a dreamy duet with Stevie Nicks He co-write with Michael McDonald, “What a Fool Believes” — a song that scooped up the Grammy for Song of the Year in 1980.Then came the era that made Kenny a household name: the Soundtrack King phase. First up, Caddyshack. Next, Footloose — released in 1984, it shot straight to No. 1 and never left the pop culture dance floor. But Kenny Loggins wasn't done. Not even close. Two years later, the Top Gun soundtrack landed in his lap — and he strapped in for one of the most turbo-charged hits of his career: Danger Zone. But here's the thing — the Soundtrack King crown didn't box Kenny in. He's always been more than a hit machine. Albums like High Adventure and Vox Humana show his softer, more introspective side. Songs like “Heart to Heart” and “This Is It” gave us smooth sax solos and heartfelt lyrics. Kenny could be funky, he could be breezy, he could make you want to dance — or just chill on the porch.Through it all, Kenny stayed a collaborator at heart. He's jammed with Michael McDonald, Steve Perry, Stevie Nicks.He even dipped into children's music with Return to Pooh Corner. He's done Christmas albums, live records and acoustic sets. His catalogue is a masterclass in versatility.Today, Kenny Loggins is still out there, doing what he does best — playing sold-out shows for die-hard fans who never get tired of that big, warm, unmistakable voice. His book Still Alright: A Memoir tells the stories behind Kenny's legendary five-decade career and shares behind the scenes tales. The celebrated songwriter and chart-topping collaborator shares an entertaining perspective on his life and career as one of the most noteworthy musicians of the ‘70s and '80s and addresses his personal challenges and obstacles of his life and work -- including two failed marriages, a difficult but motivating relationship with the older brother for which “Danny's Song” is named, struggles with hisaddiction to benzodiazepines, and the revelations of turning seventy and looking back at everything that has shaped his music - as well as coming to terms with his rock-star persona and his true self.I hope you enjoy Kenny Loggins' candid conversation with me during this episode.To learn more about Kenny head ot his website: https://kennyloggins.com/

Later, Jen is joined by Dana Bash to discuss her new book "America's Deadliest Election" focused on the violent 1872 gubernatorial race in Louisiana and its parallels to today.
