This week's guest is Joe Kennedy whose landmark case went to the Supreme Court after he was fired for praying at midfield while a high school football coach. His story was made into a motion picture called “Average Joe”.

The wolves are out for two of the Trump administration's most unconventional cabinet picks. Can Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. survive their hearings this week?Let's start with Bobby.Caroline Kennedy has publicly stated her opposition to RFK Jr.‘s appointment. Caroline is deeply embedded in the power structure of the modern Democratic Party—she has served multiple times as an ambassador and was one of the first major endorsers of Barack Obama back in 2008. So, make of that what you will. RFK Jr., the black sheep of the family, is now stepping into a Republican administration, a move that surely raises eyebrows. Though, if we're speculating, old Joe Kennedy probably wouldn't have had much of a problem with it. Then there's Tulsi Gabbard. A recent New York Times article titled “A Vatican Meeting Added Scrutiny of Tulsi Gabbard's Foreign Travels” befuddled me. If you remember Gabbard's complaints about being placed on a TSA watch list, this article confirms it—but oddly enough, it doesn't treat that as the headline. Instead, the focus is on why she was put on the list, with government sources leaking that it stemmed from her attendance at a Vatican conference organized by a man who was reportedly on a terror watch list.The Times knows this man's name but chose not to publish it because they couldn't verify why he was on the list. Essentially, the government gave the reporters a briefing, naming this individual as the reason Gabbard was flagged, but when pressed on why he was on the list, they refused to elaborate. And yet, the Times still ran with the story.The article tacks on another odd claim—an intelligence briefing reportedly revealed that two Hezbollah members once mentioned Gabbard in a conversation that was passed on to US intelligence. During Gabbard's controversial trip to meet with Bashar al-Assad she also met with “the big guy,” according to the Hezbollah fighters. My first thought? She met with Joe Biden? No, apparently, “the big guy” in this case was either a Hezbollah leader or a Lebanese government official with ties to Hezbollah, which, given the region, isn't exactly uncommon.But what's the real takeaway here? The way this story is framed makes little sense. If the government comes to you with information about a public figure, I understand reporting on it. But why not fold it into a larger piece digging deeper into the actual process behind it? Why not talk to Gabbard directly? Why not investigate the TSA's reasoning in more detail? Instead, this piece presents her as suspicious without providing substantial evidence.And knowing now that the government proactively brought this information to the Times, it only raises more red flags. That's a weak justification for placing a high-profile critic of the current administration on a TSA watch list. It's probably a bad thing to do in general. It's even worse that they felt the need to leak it to the media. But, of course, the real motive is clear—they don't want her confirmed. There's no other reason for the government to hand this story to the Times unless they're trying to sink her nomination.Chapters00:00 Introduction01:34 Why didn't I Cover The J6 Pardons More?17:02 UPDATE: MI Senate Race Heats Up, Trump Funding Pauses, Buyouts?34:23 Previewing Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. Hearings with Jen Briney This is a public episode.

In this episode, we welcome Joe Kennedy to the show. He used to be an assistant football coach at a public high school in Bremerton, Washington. After games, he would pray at the 50-yard line by himself. When some coaches and players noticed him doing that, some of them decided to join him at the 50 in prayer after the games. The members of his school board said that they were worried that it would violate the Establishment Clause of the US Constitution, and they tried to force Coach Kennedy to stop praying. He refused. The school responded by not renewing his coaching contract (essentially firing him). He, rightfully, sued the school board, and that fight made its way all the way to the Supreme Court in 2022, where the court ruled in favor of Kennedy, voting 6-3, that the government cannot suppress an individual's expression of religious observance, and if they do so then they are violating the rights to Free Exercise and Free Speech. The 2024 major motion picture “Average Joe” was made about Coach Kennedy and his struggle for religious liberty. In this interview, we discuss all of that in detail and much more.

This interview began with an innocent phone call placed to Beach Boy David Marks asking if it was possible to one day do an interview, and it became clear very quickly that this WAS the interview.  No prep, no notes, no Zoom even…honestly, I was just holding on for dear life.   What followed, in my opinion, was the most honest interview in Discograffiti history.   Here's just a few of the many things David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The Beach Boys songs on which David feels he's getting screwed out of royalties; The real truth behind his ousting from the band, as David sees it; His wildly honest assessment of The Beach Boys albums that came after Pet Sounds; And, in a Director's Cut exclusive, the incredible story of how his two blank-check budget LPs with The Moon came together.

A Note from James: Probably no president has fascinated this country and our history as much as John F. Kennedy, JFK. Everyone who lived through it remembers where they were when JFK was assassinated. He's considered the golden boy of American politics. But I didn't know this amazing conspiracy that was happening right before JFK took office. Best-selling thriller writer Brad Meltzer, one of my favorite writers, breaks it all down. He just wrote a book called The JFK Conspiracy. I highly recommend it. And we talk about it right here on the show. Episode Description: Brad Meltzer returns to the show to reveal one of the craziest untold stories about JFK: the first assassination attempt before he even took office. In his new book, The JFK Conspiracy, Brad dives into the little-known plot by Richard Pavlik, a disgruntled former postal worker with a car rigged to explode. What saved JFK's life that day? Why does this story remain a footnote in history? Brad shares riveting details, the forgotten man who thwarted the plot, and how this story illuminates America's deeper fears. We also explore the legacy of JFK and Jackie Kennedy, from heroism to scandal, and how their "Camelot" has shaped the presidency ever since. What You'll Learn: The true story of JFK's first assassination attempt in 1960. How Brad Meltzer uncovered one of the most bizarre historical footnotes about JFK. The untold role of Richard Pavlik in plotting to kill JFK and what stopped him. Why Jackie Kennedy coined the term "Camelot" and shaped JFK's legacy. Parallels between the 1960 election and today's polarized political climate.

This is a good one. Former mobster Louis Ferrante discusses the second volume of his history of the American mafia, Borgata: Clash of Titans, covering the critical period between 1960 and 1985 when the mob was at its height of power. The era began with the Kennedys' rise to power, where Joe Kennedy paradoxically used mob connections to help JFK win the 1960 election, particularly in Illinois and West Virginia. However, Robert Kennedy's aggressive pursuit of organized crime as Attorney General created deep animosity with the mob. The period was marked by the complex relationship between the mafia and Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters Union. While Hoffa wasn't a mobster himself, he needed mafia support to maintain his position as Teamsters president. The mob had significant control over the U.S. economy through their influence over unions, construction, and various industries. Ferrante presents hard evidence that the mafia, particularly Carlos Marcello, was involved in JFK's assassination, describing failed assassination attempts in Florida and Chicago before the successful Dallas plot. After Kennedy's death, the mob's influence grew as federal law enforcement, under J. Edgar Hoover, focused more on communism and civil rights protesters than organized crime. The period ended with Hoffa's disappearance in 1975, which Ferrante attributes to mob retaliation after Hoffa threatened to expose their activities when trying to regain control of the Teamsters from Frank Fitzsimmons. According to Ferrante, this era represented the apex of mafia power in America, before increased violence and internal conflicts began to tear the organization apart in the 1980s. Great stuff from Ferrante, who is establishing himself as the semi-official historian of the American mafia.

I am not sure of too many people who, with orders in hand to Hawaii, would instead live active duty to accept a position with a civil rights non-profit law firm. Yet, that is exactly what today's guest did. Mike Berry, who continues to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, spent 11 years at the First Liberty Institute handling First Amendment cases, including that of the kneeling football coach, Joe Kennedy. Earlier this year, Mike became the executive director of the litigation division of the America First Policy Institute.

In this special episode, Bryce interviews Coach Joe Kennedy who has a new movie "Average Joe" out this weekend about his story. They talk the movie, the Supreme Court, and how important it is to have faith and prayer in your life. Coach Joe Kennedy, an eighteen-year Marine veteran, was an assistant coach for the Bremerton High School (BHS) varsity football team. Before he even coached his first game, the Marine-turned-football coach made a commitment to God that he would give thanks at the conclusion of each game for what the players had accomplished and for the opportunity to be part of their lives through football. This was met with disapproval from his school district and turned into a lengthy court battle. On June 27, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Coach Kennedy and his First Amendment right and on March 8, 2023, Coach Kennedy was officially reinstated as assistant coach and returned to the field for one game on September 1, 2023 before resigning. Joe and his wife, Denise, are parents to four and reside currently in Pensacola. His memoir, Average Joe, is available wherever books are sold and a film inspired by his life will be in theaters beginning October 11. He continues to speak across the country promoting freedom of speech.

Newt talks with high school football coach and U.S. Marine veteran Joe Kennedy. He shares his journey from a troubled childhood in foster care to a 20-year career in the Marine Corps, and his subsequent battle for religious freedom. Kennedy discusses his commitment to public prayer after football games, which led to his dismissal and a prolonged legal fight that culminated in a U.S. Supreme Court victory affirming his right to pray publicly.

A lot of things in Coach Joe Kennedy's life have been unexpected—not the least of them being taking a major case to the Supreme Court or having a movie made about his life.  Kennedy's decision to take a knee in prayer after football games placed him in the middle of a national controversy, and thrust him into a spotlight he never asked for or wanted, since, as he acknowledges, he sees himself as a pretty “average Joe.” The film “Average Joe” hits theaters Thursday and aims to go beyond what Americans know about the coach from news headlines to share his personal life story, says director Harold Cronk. Kennedy was thrust off the football field and into the courtroom nearly a decade ago after he was told he could not take a knee in silent prayer on the 50-yard-line after football games. His decision to persist in his commitment to the Lord cost him his job at Bremerton High School in Bremerton, Washington, about 30 miles west of Seattle. In 2022, after a seven-year legal fight, Kennedy won his case before the Supreme Court. In early September 2023, he returned to the football field and again took a knee in prayer at the end of the game. Later that same month, he made the choice to “retire,” telling The Daily Signal at the time that he and his wife “finished the fight.” “You know, we were in the race to finish the fight, and we've remained faithful, and that's it,” he said. Kennedy and Cronk join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the making of the movie and what they hope viewers take away from the film.

On today's edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his inspiring discussion with Coach Joe Kennedy about the intense journey God took him on to fight for his religious liberty. Coach Joe tells of his realization that this was not only a battle in the physical sense, but also a spiritual war that nearly destroyed his marriage in the midst of the seven-year legal fight that went to the Supreme Court twice.

High school football coach Joe Kennedy had no other choice but to fight. A childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marine Corps was nothing compared to his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God publicly by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired, Joe and his wife Denise knew this battle for religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight—no matter the cost. From the director and producers of God's Not Dead and the producers of The Blind comes AVERAGE JOE, in theaters beginning October 11.

There are times in life when we come to the proverbial fork in the road and we need to choose between the easy thing to do vs. the right thing to do. Today on Family Talk, Gary Bauer interviews Coach Joe Kennedy about a challenge in his life after being fired from his job for praying silent prayers on the football field after games. Coach Kennedy paraphrases 2 Timothy 4:7 as his motto, Fight the good fight, finish the race, keep the faith! Be inspired by this man after God's own heart.

He independently produces faith-based films. His most current film, "Average Joe," releases exclusively in theaters nationwide this Friday, October 11th, and is based on the true story of a high school football coach, Joe Kennedy, whose fight for religious freedom — the right to pray on the field following games — went all the way to the Supreme Court, where he won his case. This guest was also executive producer of the film "God's Not Dead." He played on his high school golf team and went on to be an avid racquetball player for most of his life. He also has a story of conversion to the Catholic faith, which he shares during this interview.

Scripture says, "The battle belongs to the Lord", (1 Samuel 17:47). Coach Joe Kennedy can attest to that. His whole life of trials and frustrations, anger and pain, were preparing him for a battle over the right to pray on a football field. Kennedy is famous for winning a Supreme Court case in 2022, after being fired for praying on the 50 yard line after every game, as he promised God he would do, win or lose. Now a major motion picture will be released about his life and court battle. Actor Eric Close (Nashville, Suits, American Sniper), portrays Kennedy in the film. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Kennedy and Close talk about making the film, and how they worked together in understanding Joe's journey from being a forgotten child, tossed between homes and growing up angry, to becoming a Marine, marriage, and then to a high school football coach. All the while, says Kennedy, God's hand was there. He says, "I didn't see until later in life that God had his fingerprints all the way from when I was in the womb, and all those trials and tribulations I went through. I didn't see how they fit all the puzzle pieces into the bigger picture, and it prepared me for the Marine Corps, prepared me for this battle." Learn more about your ad choices.
