Podcast appearances and mentions of Lee Greenwood

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine Donald Trump's growing political troubles as rising prices, escalating tensions in the Middle East, and his own economic policies threaten to make affordability his biggest liability ahead of the midterms. They discuss Trump's pressure on the Federal Reserve, the consequences of his tariffs and war policies, and why his administration's approach may be fueling the very problems he claims he wants to solve. Plus, Melania Trump's surprising enthusiasm for AI, the latest turmoil at the Kennedy Center, and the court's refusal to let Trump put his name on the building. They also take a closer look at Kash Patel's purge of senior FBI agents, the changing standards for joining the bureau, and Lee Greenwood's wife's nomination as ambassador to Barbados. As Trump surrounds himself with loyalists and pushes aside voices that might challenge him, Michael and Joanna consider whether his own decision-making is setting the stage for a political reckoning. #ad Ready to reach your goals?

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5 EPISODE 6 A Block (SPECIAL COMMENT): We're actually under-reacting to the threat from A.I. because it is not just 'A.I. Will Kill Us All' - it is 'TRUMP'S A.I. Will Kill Us All.' Trump is up to his each of his 27 chins in his own investments in A-I; for all we know he's also thinking A-I might fix the midterms for him; humanity is at risk because Trump and his idiot sons and his cabinet members and his foreign fixers and everybody in the Epstein Files and the whole kaleidoscope of corruption is thinking about one thing only - not how to protect mankind but how to protect their money. Humanity is at risk, because Artificial intelligence is meeting Trump's total LACK of intelligence Also: when Trump's SkyNet gains sentience it will get U.S. weapons in space to use against us. And remember the Epstein Files? Trump Junior's new wife mainlines back not just to Putin's flunkies but to one of Epstein's bankers: her own father. Speaking of Putin's flunkies: Putin is why the National Hockey League must ban its all time leading goal scorer. And the 60 Minutes ratings are in – they’re down 21% so it’ll now be called 47 MINUTES. Well done CBS – The Conservative Brainwashing System. B-Block (40:00) THE RETURN OF THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The latest in the endless parade of football quarterbacks and TV pitchmen, Arch Manning, recommends and busts out laughing at an AI video of his college coach knocking a woman reporter to the ground. Another Michigan Republican candidate thinks God is sending him messages for Dan Bongino. Lee Greenwood's latest business deal with Trump: his wife is gonna be an Ambassaduh. And Kash Patel leading the FBI: the Federal Bestiality Investigators? C-Block (58:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The terrible truth about TV newscasters and the real draw of the profession for many of them - the free hair care. The whole thing clarified itself to me when I discovered that the gifted craftsman who cut my hair when I was in radio in 1980 is still working and is still a gifted craftsman.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the opening week of SepTOMber 2026, a special month of shows devoted to Songs of Horniness that would undoubtedly earn the endorsement of legendary sex symbol Tom Jones! This time it's a Chris pick: “Look What We Made (When We Made Love)” from the 1986 Lee Greenwood album Love Will Find Its Way to You! For the second consecutive year, the Gunslinger selected something he had never heard before, basing his decision almost entirely on the title. Was the result a repeat of last year's Vanilla Ice debacle, or did the song's presumed subject matter justify its inclusion in the SepTOMber theme? Listen and find out!

The legendary singer-songwriter reflects on the enduring legacy of his iconic anthem, shares unforgettable career moments, and explains why he remains hopeful for America's future as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday

On Thursday's show: As Houston gears up to mark not just another Fourth of July but also the nation's semiquincentennial, there's no shortage of ways to celebrate -- from fireworks over Buffalo Bayou to a tree-planting event that had to work around a protected bird's nest. We walk through some of the ways people are celebrating across Greater Houston.Also this hour: Sure, Lee Greenwood sang about being proud to be an American. And so we, naturally, discuss what makes you proud to be a Houstonian.Then, we learn how Texas helped shape aviation in America, the subject of an exhibit called Made in Texas at the Lone Star Flight Museum.And we preview the latest episode of the podcast After the Flood, about the aftermath of the July 4 floods in the Texas Hill Country.Watch

Is there anything more synonymous with patriotic pride than "God Bless The U.S.A."? As we celebrate Independence Day and the 250th birthday of our nation, we're bringing back this fan favorite — originally released on Veterans Day 2022 — because Lee Greenwood and this song belong on every American holiday playlist. Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with the Grammy award-winning artist to reflect on the song's remarkable 40-year journey — from being written in the back of a tour bus in 1983 to becoming the only song ever charted in the top five across all genres of music. Lee shares stories from nearly 300 days a year on the road, performing at two presidential inaugurations at the Lincoln Memorial, touring with Bob Hope on his final USO Christmas tour, and what it felt like to watch "God Bless The U.S.A." surge back to the top after 9/11 and the Gulf War. They also dig into Lee's nonprofit work with Helping a Hero — a Houston-based foundation that has built over 200 specially adapted homes for wounded warriors — and the story behind the limited edition "God Bless The U.S.A. Bible," a leather-bound King James Bible featuring Lee's handwritten chorus lyrics alongside the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Pledge of Allegiance. This Fourth of July Lee's message rings as true as ever: America is the greatest country on the planet — and faith, unity, and hope will always carry us through. #leegreenwood #godblessthesua #america250 #july4 #keepthefaith #davidsams #contagiousinfluencer

Host Tim Boyum travels to Tennessee to meet up with Lee Greenwood. As America celebrates 250 years, Greenwood tells us the incredible story behind his hit, "God Bless the USA." From the inception on the tour bus to the stage with Ronald Reagan to an emotional story of singing it after 9/11, the song has defined his career. What you don't know is that the song almost never made it. A limousine trip to a record label executive's house on Halloween changed the course of history.

Consensus on the new Paul McCartney album has, to say the least, been mixed. Classical Bi-Monthly writes, “Where the f are the Liverpool Oratorio outtakes”? Dance Tuesdays proclaimed, “No Fireman? No interest”. And MAGA Monthly pouts with vitriol, “Why won't woke Macca record with current, hit-makin' patriots like Vanilla Ice, Lee Greenwood, or Chachi?” But here at the UBP, we all adore “The Boys of Dungeon Lane”. Side 1 is perhaps Macca's finest slab of wax. But what about Side 2? Is this where the patented Macca Fillers creep in? Or is Side 2 on par with the UNIFORMLY BELOVED (#TakeItTony) “Flowers In The Dirt”? And How Many People appreciate this reference? The guys continue to break-down this historic release - now available in its 700th vinyl iteration - and also ask:

Lee Greenwood is an award-winning recording artist, songwriter, and American icon best known for writing and performing "God Bless the USA," one of the most recognized patriotic songs in American history. With a career spanning decades, Lee has earned numerous industry honors, including multiple Male Vocalist of the Year awards, while using his platform to celebrate faith, family, freedom, and service. From his early days growing up on a sharecropper's farm to performing for presidents and supporting America's military families, Lee's journey is a testament to perseverance, gratitude, and the power of staying faithful to your calling. Lee joins me today to discuss his early years growing up in California, finding his passion for music, and the hard work that eventually led him to Nashville. He shares the story behind writing "God Bless the USA," how his faith became a guiding force in his life, and why he believes America continues to be a place of opportunity and redemption. Lee also reflects on the importance of giving back, supporting veterans, and living in a way that positively influences others. "You'll never be disappointed in hard work." - Lee Greenwood "When you live life as a Christian, I believe you influence others even if they didn't ask for it. It's how you live, not how you tell people you live." - Lee Greenwood "I wasn't about the money. I wasn't about fame. I was about existing. And this is a free country." - Lee Greenwood This week on The Wow Factor: How Lee's childhood on a sharecropper's farm shaped his work ethic Why faith and music became such important parts of Lee's life The journey from playing piano in Las Vegas to becoming a Nashville recording artist The divine appointments that helped guide Lee's career The story behind writing "God Bless the USA" and why the message continues to resonate Lee's experiences performing for and building relationships with U.S. presidents Why generosity, service, and supporting others remain central to Lee's mission Lee Greenwood's Words of Wisdom: You'll never be disappointed by hard work. Use your gifts, stay productive, be wise with what you've been given, and always look for opportunities to help others.

Instead, Trump says, we will all be treated to one of the greatest hits of all time: his go-to on the campaign trail and beyond, Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless The U.S.A.” And so, much to T.J.’s chagrin, it looks like Vanilla Ice, who has been the only talent on the original list of artists to enthusiastically say he wants to perform, won’t be on stage celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement package on Friday after an overnight vote-a-rama on Capitol Hill. The Senate voted 52–47 to approve the legislation, with no support from ‌Democrats. The bill funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol through the remainder of President Donald Trump's second term, and now heads to the House. The legislation follows months of partisan clashes over immigration enforcement and Homeland Security funding.The United States imposed new sanctions on Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel, his wife, and several other officials on Thursday. The move follows a broader sanctions push under Trump aimed at increasing pressure on the Cuban government over repression and national security concerns. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism for decades, accusing the regime of recruiting, training, and backing violent Marxist movements across the hemisphere and beyond.Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the sanctions "despicable" in a post on social media, describing them as the latest example of U.S. interventionism. "Every U.S. action aimed ​at creating a ​scenario of ⁠conflict between the two countries is doomed to failure," Rodriguez said.Trump has announced plans for what he calls "The Greatest Rally, Ever" in Washington, as part of celebrations marking America's 250th anniversary. The president says the event will feature patriotic music, military bands, and performances by Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio. The president is also promoting a series of restoration and construction projects across the capital, including repairs to fountains and the iconic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Tyler Robinson, Markwayne Mullin, Ron DeSantis, and Graham Platner headline today's A.M. Update. Judge Tony Graf rules the public and press cannot be barred from Tyler Robinson's upcoming preliminary hearing, meaning potentially bombshell evidence against Charlie Kirk's alleged killer will be visible to the world. Iran remains a chaotic blur of strikes, broken communications, and shifting demands, with the IRGC now insisting any deal must include leaving Hezbollah alone in Lebanon, and Aaron says it's starting to look less like 3D chess and more like the U.S. being pressured. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirms some of the Delaney Hall protesters were bussed in from Portland, Oregon, as a curfew holds in Newark. Ron DeSantis pushes his case for eliminating Florida homestead property taxes, arguing tourist revenue can absorb the cost in a way no other state can replicate. Graham Platner loses The View and Cory Booker in the same news cycle as his Maine Senate campaign crumbles under the weight of sexting allegations, Nazi tattoo history, and a suspicious app account. Aaron closes with Rep. Tim Burchett's pitch to replace the 250th birthday concert dropouts with John Rich, Kid Rock, and Lee Greenwood, and the story of Henry Nowak, the British student handcuffed by police as he bled to death from a stab wound after his killer falsely claimed to be the victim.

Trump, China, and the Petrodollar: The Quiet Financial Ambush Nobody Saw ComingI marvel at the genius of Donald Trump, and yes, I'm fully aware that saying this publicly causes certain people to react like Victorian women spotting an exposed ankle.“We get it, Kevin. You like Trump.”Correct.And while the NeverTrump crowd continues fantasizing that I spend my evenings in a sequined MAGA marching-band uniform twirling pom-poms to Lee Greenwood songs, admiration becomes unavoidable when you watch a man repeatedly turn global power structures into IKEA furniture assembled without instructions, yet somehow sturdier than before.Because what Trump is doing with Venezuela, Iran, and China isn't random. It isn't improvisation. It isn't “orange-man chaos.”It's leverage.And the frightening part for Democrats is this: they still think politics operates entirely inside press conferences, polling data, and emotionally manipulative TikTok videos featuring women crying in parked Subarus.Trump understands something far older and far more brutal.Civilizations run on energy. Empires run on currency. And the nation controlling both gets to write history in ink while everybody else scribbles in pencil.For years China believed America had grown too decadent, too distracted, and too apologetic to defend the dollar's dominance. Beijing watched Democrats transform the United States into a country increasingly governed by HR departments, pharmaceutical jingles, and people who put pronouns in email signatures longer than the emails themselves.China saw weakness.Frankly, who wouldn't?Under Obama and Biden, America projected the economic confidence of a mall kiosk selling phone cases in its final week before bankruptcy. We apologized for our power. Restricted our own energy production. Printed money like game-show contestants trapped in a cash tornado. Meanwhile China quietly built influence across Africa, South America, and the Middle East.Their goal was obvious: dethrone the dollar.Not with tanks. Not with bombs. With oil contracts.That's the key Americans miss.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In Aurora, Illinois hundreds of students marched out of class waving Mexican flags the other day. They were protesting ICE agents. The mob of teens attacked police officers and a man holding a Trump banner. In Lake Zurich, Illinois a teenager holding a pro-ICE sign was literally punched in the face. And in another incident – a kid wearing a MAGA hat was taunted and bullied. Do you really think that middle schools and first graders are really monitoring ICE deportations? Or do you find it more plausible that teachers are using classroom time to promote anti-ICE propaganda? There is a clear and present danger in our nation’s classrooms. The Communists and the Anarchists have gotten a foothold in our nation’s education system. That’s why it’s imperative that President Trump abolish the Department of Education, bust up the teachers unions and return control of our schools back to the American people. Otherwise, we will lose the Republic. I have much more to say about this on ToddStarnes.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
