Podcasts about presidential medal

Michaela Estruth marks two hard anniversaries in the same week: 25 years since the September 11 attacks and one year since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. President Trump hosted first responders and victims' families in Washington and posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Wells Crowther, the “man in the red bandana.” Heartlander reporter Audrey Streb speaks with retired FDNY captain Tom Colucci, now a Catholic priest, who says the worst and best of that day strengthened his faith.The episode also covers a first-of-its-kind Republican midterm convention in Dallas, a failed Nike shareholder proposal asking the company to study risks tied to gender-ideology advocacy, and Louisiana's Fifth Circuit fight over mail-order mifepristone. Estruth reports that unregulated shipment of the chemical abortion pill can undermine state law, conceal coercion, and send women to emergency rooms. The second half returns to Kirk's memorial through Frank Turek and historian Michael Federer, who urge listeners to reject rumor, honor a grieving family, and keep attention on the work Kirk left unfinished.00:00:00 – Introduction00:00:38 – Trump Hosts 9/11 Families00:01:24 – Medal for Wells Crowther00:03:06 – Firefighter Turned Priest00:04:38 – Faith After the Attacks00:06:06 – GOP Midterm Convention00:08:19 – Nike Rejects Risk Study00:10:08 – Louisiana Abortion Pill Case00:11:24 – Coercion and State Law00:13:28 – Emergency Room Aftermath00:16:42 – Restoring Dobbs Promise00:17:38 – One Year After Kirk00:17:56 – Rumors Called Demonic00:21:09 – Federer on Kirk's Legacy00:23:34 – Wisdom Meets Passion00:25:56 – Unity Over Infighting Follow Heartlander News on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.  You can also sign-up for our newsletter and follow our coverage at HeartlanderNews.com.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.

Dolly Parton was more than a voice. She was a strategist, a visionary, and arguably one of the greatest creator capitalists in the history of the entertainment industry. While the world mourned her passing and celebrated her extraordinary musical catalog, the most important tribute may be the one that focuses not on her songs, but on the decision she made decades before most people had ever heard her name. Long before the creator economy had a name, Dolly Parton was already living by its highest principles. In 1967, before she had a single top ten hit as a recording artist, she founded her own publishing company with her uncle Bill Owens and began owning the copyright to everything she wrote. That single decision would go on to shape the entire trajectory of her career, her wealth, and her legacy in ways that continue to compound to this day. This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of The Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Dolly Parton Said No to Elvis and Changed Everything When Elvis Presley expressed interest in recording “I Will Always Love You,” Dolly Parton was initially thrilled. That excitement faded quickly when she learned his condition. He wanted half the songwriting profits on a song he had absolutely nothing to do with creating. She said no, a decision that shocked nearly everyone around her at the time. That refusal was not reckless. It was rooted in financial security she had quietly built for herself through royalties and intellectual property ownership. Because she had already established her publishing company years earlier, she had the runway to walk away from one of the biggest stars in the world. When Whitney Houston recorded the song for “The Bodyguard” soundtrack in 1992, Dolly Parton owned one hundred percent of it and earned an estimated ten million dollars from that single cover in the 1990s alone.   Owning Your Value in a Changing Economy Dolly Parton understood something that most creators are only beginning to grasp today. The real shift happening in modern business is not simply about artificial intelligence. It is about moving away from being paid for your time as a proxy for value, and toward being paid for the actual value you create and own. Paul McCartney once said that he and John Lennon simply did not know you could own songs. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards lost their early catalog too. Dolly Parton did not make that mistake. She built an intellectual capital foundation so strong that it funded Dollywood, the Imagination Library, and a net worth estimated by Forbes at around 450 million dollars, all stemming from the simple act of owning what she created from the very beginning.   A Legacy That Reaches Far Beyond Music Dolly Parton turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom three times. She declined once because her husband was ill, once because of Covid restrictions, and again because she did not want her acceptance to be interpreted as a political statement. In a world obsessed with personal branding and self-promotion, she consistently chose mission over recognition. Her philanthropy was as strategic as her business decisions. She helped fund Moderna’s Covid vaccine research, launched the Imagination Library which has distributed over 330 million books to children, and created an economic ecosystem through Dollywood that supports 23,000 jobs and generates 1.8 billion dollars in annual economic impact. Dolly Parton wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You in the same evening, turned down Elvis, said yes to Whitney, and quietly became one of the most financially powerful and generous artists the world has ever seen.

President Donald Trump honored the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 as he spoke at the “Steel Across America” event in Washington, three days before the 25th anniversary of the attacks. Trump also posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Welles Crowther, who saved multiple lives during the attacks.The President is also turning up the heat on Canada — saying federal agencies will stop buying Canadian -made goods in the latest escalation of the trade war.Voters head to the polls Tuesday in New Hampshire to cast their ballots for gubernatorial, U.S Senate, and U.S. House candidates. It's a tight race in the Senate primary as both parties are vying for the competitive open seat just eight weeks out from the midterms.

Twenty five years later, Trump stands on the Ellipse with a piece of World Trade Center steel behind him, and delivers what is easily one of the more personal, reflective speeches of his presidency. He recounts being there himself in the days after, being pulled to safety by firefighters as a nearby building creaked, and shares Howard Lutnick's gutting story of surviving 9/11 for one specific reason. There's a Coast Guard cutter dedication honoring a fallen rescue squad member, first responders and military members filling the crowd, and the emotional centerpiece: awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom, posthumously, to a young man known only as "the man in the red bandana," whose family accepts on his behalf. Frank Siller and Tunnel to Towers anchor the ceremony with their own tribute to service and sacrifice. Less politics, more remembrance, this one leans heavily into the weight of the day itself.

Trumpeter and bandleader Arturo Sandoval is a Latin music legend who began his career as a co-founder of the essential Cuban band Irakere and since moving to the States has incorporated the sounds of soul, jazz, funk, and Afrobeat into his music. Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and his life was the subject of the film For Love Or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story, with Andy Garcia starring as Arturo. The real Arturo Sandoval was born in Cuba, defected to America with the help of his friend Dizzy Gillespie, and became one of the foundational figures in Afro-Cuban jazz. By the way, he was recently knighted by the King of Spain. His new album shows that Sandoval retains his youthful enthusiasm; it's called Sangú – an inadvertent bit of Spanglish that simply means “sounds good.” Arturo Sandoval leads his band in some of these latest tunes from Sangú - bebop, funk, Yoruba spiritual memory, riding along with Cuban phrasing and percussion, in-studio. He also demonstrates the jaw harp, shows off his “Red Trumpet”, and tells the harrowing story of how he gained political asylum for himself and his family while touring in Europe in 1990. - Caryn Havlik Set list: 1.Scat 2.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 27, 2026. We open by tearing into Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner's comments about wanting a "paperweight" from the wreckage of Trump's planned White House ballroom, walking through why that rhetoric crosses the line from political disagreement into celebrating the destruction of federal property, and how the broader culture of "blow it up, burn it down" language is fueling real threats against the president. We get to our Top 3 things you need to know: President Trump's executive order renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America" amid the trade standoff with Canada, the Third Circuit's ruling that the assault case against Congresswoman LaMonica McIver can proceed, and the release of ICE agent Christian Castro from a Texas jail after Minnesota's extradition lawsuit was tossed as premature. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joining us to reflect to reflect on the life and legend of Dolly Parton including a moving story about her music showing up at a family funeral and a look at how she became one of the few truly unifying figures in American life, right down to turning down the Presidential Medal of Freedom three times so it wouldn't look political. We dig deep on two fronts: the Trump administration's new requirement that states conduct random manual audits of paper ballots to keep their Homeland Security election funding, which we frame as basic quality control rather than an attack on election integrity, and a close read of Texas Senate candidate James Tallarico's campaign theology, where we lay out chapter and verse why his claims about a non-binary God, abortion, and religious pluralism don't square with scripture. We also weigh in on New York Mayor Mamdani mourning a Rikers Island inmate's death without a word for the man he's accused of murdering, before landing on a Bright Spot: General Mills announcing its U.S. cereal lineup is now free of certified synthetic dyes, a shift we credit to RFK Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again push merging with MAGA consumer pressure. We close things out with a Say What on a Georgia teacher's classroom "gas station" for second graders, and a Moment of Whoa honoring Mandy Patinkin's new gig as honorary team captain for the U.S. fencing team heading into the 2028 LA Olympics.

Erick opens with the Coldstream Guards playing “9 to 5” at Buckingham Palace and turns the death of Dolly Parton into a sermon on the second great commandment: she died with $650 million after giving away $600 million, refused the Presidential Medal of Freedom from both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and told Tennessee to […]

 Voters Right Act, Chicago Tribune, Slate, NY Times On the Eve of the 2026 March on Washington, we reflect back to August 6th, 1965 the Voting Rights Act was Signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. C.T. Vivian, a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement, was violently attacked by Sheriff Jim Clark while attempting to escort a group of African Americans to register to vote. Steve Fiffer is a New York Times Bestselling Author. His Book is "It's in The Action": Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior, Rev C.T. Vivian's Memoir.Reverend Vivian was a Major Force in the Fight for Civil Rights & Voters Rights in the Twentieth Century till he Passed July 17th, 2020.Regardless of Social Status, Party Affiliation or Belief, Race: Libertarian, Democrat, Progressive or Republican or Other, All Americans Should Have the Right to Vote!Senator Barack Obama, speaking at Selma's Brown Chapel on the March 2007, anniversary of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, recognized Vivian in his opening remarks in the words of Martin L. King Jr. as "the greatest preacher to ever live."Studying for the ministry at American Baptist Theological Seminary (now called American Baptist College) in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1959, Vivian met James Lawson, who was teaching Mohandas Gandhi's nonviolent direct action strategy to the Nashville Student Movement. Soon Lawson's students, including Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, James Bevel, John Lewis and others from American Baptist, Fisk University and Tennessee State University, organized a systematic nonviolent sit-in campaign at local lunch counters.Vivian helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, and helped organize the first sit-ins in Nashville in 1960 and the first civil rights march in 1961. In 1961, Vivian participated in Freedom Rides. He worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the national director of affiliates for the SCLC. During the summer following the Selma Voting Rights Movement, Vivian is perhaps best known for, Vivian challenged Sheriff Jim Clark on the steps of the courthouse in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 during a drive to promote Black people to register to vote."You can turn your back on me, but you cannot turn your back upon the idea of justice," Vivian said to Clark as reporters recorded the interaction. "You can turn your back now and you can keep the club in your hand, but you cannot beat down justice. And we will register to vote, because as citizens of these United States we have the right to do it."Vivian conceived and directed an educational program, Vision, and put 702 Alabama students in college with scholarships (this program later became Upward Bound). His 1970 Black Power and the American Myth was the first book on the Civil Rights Movement by a member of Martin Luther King's staff.On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama named Vivian as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.Steve's own Memoir is "Three Quarters, Two Dimes, and a Nickel".

This week, religion scholars Reza Aslan and Ilan Stavans sit down with Emily D. Crews to discuss their new anthology, A Nation Wrestles with God: American Prophets, Philosophers, and Firebrands, a historic collection of the radicals and freethinkers that sparked a country's journey through divinity—praising, challenging, and redefining the sacred. This book and conversation are presented in conjunction with the American Writers Museum's special exhibit American Prophets: Writers, Religion, and Culture, of which Stavans and Crews were advisors. American Prophets is now on display at the AWM. This program was part of the 2026 American Writers Festival. Co-hosted by the American Writers Museum and Chicago Public Library, the American Writers Festival is a free literary event featuring in-depth conversations with diverse writers from across genres and backgrounds. This conversation took place June 7, 2026 and was recorded live at the Harold Washington Library Center. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HUB More about A Nation Wrestles with God: Spanning more than 400 years of spiritual transformation and imagination, A Nation Wrestles with God collects diverse writers—poets, novelists, theologians, scientists, musicians, politicians, comedians, artists, mavericks, naturalists, futurists, and more—whose daring texts incited dialogue, even change, and continue to influence a growing nation. From the pre-colonial to the present day, these landmark stories, poems, essays, letters, speeches, songs, comic strips, and more awoke new generations to free religious thought. On the occasion of America's 250th year of independence, and during a time of deep ideological division, this sweeping anthology is an urgent reminder of the pluralities that strengthen and unite us.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Hostages, Free Speech, California Politics, and the Battle Over America's Future Karen Kataline guest-hosts The Alan Nathan Show with conversations on Middle East peace, Christian revival, Washington safety, free-speech platforms, California politics, progressive prejudice, political violence, and the competing narratives shaping American life. Spotlight: Corinne Clifford Corinne Clifford is introduced as an independent journalist, White House press corps member, and official spokesperson for SAT123.com. Speaking from Washington, D.C., she discusses covering national news from the White House, the release of hostages, President Trump's schedule, a tribute to Charlie Kirk, and what she describes as a Christian revival taking place in the United States. Guest Spotlight: Jeff Dornik Jeff Dornik is introduced as the founder and CEO of Pickax, a social media platform built around “freedom of speech and freedom of reach.” He also hosts The Jeff Dornik Show and discusses Gavin Newsom, California politics, gun regulation, slavery reparations, Katie Porter, jungle primaries, Steve Hilton, and why he believes California voters are increasingly frustrated with progressive leadership. Guest Spotlight: Leslie Corbly Leslie Corbly is introduced as an author, poet, columnist, attorney, former visiting fellow with the American Institute for Economic Research, and former policy analyst at the Libertas Institute. Her latest book, Progressive Prejudice: Exposing the Devouring Mother, becomes the foundation for a conversation about female predation, motherhood, dependency, abortion, child abuse, relational power, and the subtle prejudices she argues are embedded in progressive politics. Guest Spotlight: Nils Grevilius Nils Grevilius is introduced as a Los Angeles-based private investigator and author known for his past work with the Pinkerton organization and his investigation of the Wonderland Avenue murders. He clarifies that he is no longer with Pinkerton, then discusses political violence, activist networks, media framing, anti-Semitism, the aftermath of COVID-19 mistrust, and his forthcoming book The Last Lawman. Karen Kataline Opens With Free Speech, Hostages, and Live Radio Energy This episode of Spouting Off features Karen Kataline filling in on The Alan Nathan Show on the Main Street Radio Network. After the opening frames Spouting Off around liberty, uncensored ideas, debate, and the freedom to speak one's mind, Karen begins with Alan Nathan's motto about keeping Republicans, Democrats, and government power away from private life, wallets, and First and Second Amendment rights. A live-to-tape guest mix-up leads into Karen's first major topic: the emotional release of hostages after two years and the possibility of a twenty-point peace plan in the Middle East, which she presents as a deeply moving moment even for those outside the Jewish community or outside strong support for Israel. Corinne Clifford on Washington, Revival, Israel, and Public Safety Karen's first interview is with Corinne Clifford, who says she is reporting from Washington, D.C., and covering events at the White House. Corinne describes President Trump returning from Israel, hosting Argentina's leader, and preparing to honor Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She also speaks about what she calls a Christian revival, saying that large numbers of mostly Generation Z Christians gathered at the National Mall, and she frames this as a positive spiritual shift. Karen then asks about Jewish-Christian solidarity and concern over anti-Semitic claims surrounding Charlie Kirk, while Corinne responds that real Christians respect Jewish people and Israel. The segment closes with discussion of safety in Washington, D.C., where Corinne says violence still exists but that the areas around her White House work feel safer. Jeff Dornik on Pickax, Newsom, California, and 2028 Politics After several public-service and sponsor announcements, Karen welcomes Jeff Dornik to discuss his free-speech-oriented platform Pickax and the political future of California. Karen asks whether Gavin Newsom's gun-regulation and slavery-reparations laws are part of a path toward the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. Jeff argues that Newsom presents himself as moderate while advancing what Jeff sees as far-left policies, especially by positioning himself as the opposite of Donald Trump. The discussion expands to California dissatisfaction, the failed Newsom recall, homelessness, drugs, fires, Palisades fire aftermath, Katie Porter's gubernatorial ambitions, jungle primaries, Steve Hilton, and the Republican field. Jeff closes by directing listeners to Pickax.com. Leslie Corbly on the “Devouring Mother” and Progressive Prejudice Karen's next guest, Leslie Corbly, explains the title of her book Progressive Prejudice: Exposing the Devouring Mother. She defines the “devouring mother” as an archetype of female predation, where a mother uses care of a child as a pretext for narcissistic supply rather than genuine protection. Karen connects this to child beauty pageants, Munchausen syndrome by proxy, and political rhetoric around compassion. Leslie argues that society is more comfortable identifying overt physical harm, often associated with men, than emotional or relational harm, which she says can also be carried out by women. The conversation becomes political as Leslie discusses dependency, motherhood, abortion, children's value, state power, child abuse statistics, and what she sees as progressive insistence on simplistic oppressor-and-oppressed categories. Nils Grevilius on Political Violence, Media Labels, and Public Distrust In the final guest segment, Nils Grevilius joins Karen to discuss political violence, activist networks, and the way media outlets label ideological movements. He argues that groups and movements such as Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, No Kings, Free Palestine, and anti-ICE protests are connected through what he calls a “Marxist Hydra,” though he acknowledges that some networks and motives remain unclear. Karen brings up claims surrounding Charlie Kirk and Israel, and Nils responds by linking public susceptibility to conspiracy thinking with the distrust and insecurity he believes were intensified during the COVID-19 era. He also argues that some pro-Palestinian left activism is not truly about Palestinians but about power. Nils closes by directing listeners to DetectiveNils on X and mentioning The Last Lawman, expected in June 2026. Public-Service Messages and Program Disclaimers Throughout the hour, the program includes a wide range of public-service announcements and sponsored messages. These include digital organization tips from Senior Planet, human-trafficking awareness through DHS's Blue Campaign, adoption messaging through AdoptUSKids, support for Paralyzed Veterans of America, prescription drug cost guidance, business security advertising, heart-health messaging, outdoor recreation through Discover the Forest, buzzed-driving prevention, RSV prevention information, blood-pressure awareness, career-skills resources, and additional PVA support messaging.

Welcome to another Legends episode of Follow Your Dream, the award winning podcast and global arts platform. Legends features profiles of iconic artists and influential figures who helped shape our culture. This Legends episode spotlights Irving Berlin who was - simply put - one of the greatest songwriters of all time.  Irving Berlin was born in Russia with the name Israel Beilin. He moved to America at age 5 with his family to escape the pogroms against the Jews. He taught himself the piano and he composed only in the key of F#, meaning the black keys. His songs captured the identity and feel of his adopted country. He was known for writing music and lyrics that were uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his stated aim being to "reach the heart of the average American". He received Academy, Tony and Grammy awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Over his 60 year career he wrote 1,500 songs, with “Alexander's Ragtime Band” in 1911 being his first hit. His catalog included the scores to 20 original Broadway shows and 15 original Hollywood films. His songs were nominated eight times for Academy Awards.  Let's listen now to excerpts from several of his greatest hits sung by the stars of his era.  “God Bless America”, sung by Kate Smith;  “Blue Skies”, sung by Frank Sinatra “Easter Parade, sung by Judy Garland “Cheek To Cheek” sung by Ella Fitzgerald “There's No Business Like Show Business” sung by Ethel Merman, and of course  “White Christmas” sung by Bing Crosby. None other than George Gershwin called Irving Berlin “the greatest songwriter that has ever lived", and Jerome Kern, no slouch himself, said that "Irving Berlin has no place in American music—he is American music."      

A new 162-page report just released by the White House flags a museum exhibition for what it says is “radical, activist ideology” that “seeks to teach disdain and inspire disgust of our great country.” The report faults Native land acknowledgements, mentions of stolen land, and the use of the term “genocide” connected to an ongoing exhibition by the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). The report by the White House Domestic Policy Council argues leaders at the Smithsonian Institution have pushed an agenda of social justice advocacy instead of objective historical research. We'll talk with Native historians and curators about this new escalation of the Trump administration's drive to change existing narratives about Native history. GUESTS Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes and Hodulgee Muscogee), a founding trustee of NMAI, recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the first Native woman elected to the oldest learned societies in the U.S. – the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Rick Hill Sr. (Tuscarora), vice president of the Niagara Academy for Indigenous Relations Dr. Samuel Torres (Mexica/Nahua), deputy CEO of the National Native America Boarding School Healing Coalition Sierra Biidaaban Nadeau (Kchi Wiikwedong Anishinaabe), author of “What the Ancestors Say”, award-wining journalist, and reporting specialist for Miigwech Inc.

A few months ago, an idea sparked in my heart: to honor Dr. Hector P. Garcia with a street designation in his hometown of Mercedes. Tonight, I'm happy to share that the initiative has officially been approved. This effort has been a true community project. What began as a proposal grew into meetings, letters of support, public input, a committee process, and ultimately a community conversation about how we honor one of our hometown heroes. Dr. Hector P. Garcia was a World War II veteran, physician, civil rights leader, founder of the American GI Forum, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, and a proud Mercedes High School graduate. His impact reached far beyond South Texas, but his story will always be connected to Mercedes. I am grateful every member of the City Commission, my fellow sub committee members, the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Foundation, the Mercedes Memorial Library, everyone who participated in the public survey, and all those who supported this effort along the way. This is a reminder that local government can do meaningful things when communities come together around a common purpose.Now, we move on to the implementation phase and look forward to the day we officially unveil the designation and celebrate the legacy of Dr. Hector P. Garcia for generations to come.Editor's Note: The above guest column was penned by Skyler Howell, a member of the board of the Hector P. Garcia Memorial Foundation. The column first appeared on Howell's social media pages. Editor's Note: Here, attached, is an audio recording of an interview the Rio Grande Guardian secured with Skyler Howell last month about his initiative:Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos. 

Here's my 2008 conversation with ROBERT COLES, child psychiatrist, Harvard Professor, and author of 75 books, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning six volume Children of Crisis. He died June 4 at the age of 97. He spent a lifetime listening to people - often those ignored by others - and told their stories. Coles was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 1981, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998, and the National Humanities Medal in 2001. 

pWotD Episode 3333: Lionel Messi Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 707,855 views on Wednesday, 17 June 2026 our article of the day is Lionel Messi.Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi (born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both the Major League Soccer club Inter Miami and the Argentina national team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history, Messi has set numerous records for individual accolades won throughout his professional footballing career, including eight Ballons d'Or, six European Golden Shoes, and eight times being named the world's best player by FIFA. In 2025, he was named the All Time Men's World Best Player by the IFFHS. Messi is the most decorated player in the history of professional football, having won 46 team trophies. His records include most goals in a calendar year (91), most goals for a single club (672 for Barcelona), most goals in La Liga (474), tied most goals scored in the FIFA World Cup (16), and most assists in international football (61). Messi has scored over 910 senior career goals and provided over 410 assists for club and country, resulting in over 1,320 goal contributions—the highest total in the sport's history.Messi made his competitive debut for Barcelona at age 17 in October 2004. He gradually established himself as an integral player for the club, and during his first uninterrupted season in 2008–09 he helped Barcelona achieve the first treble in Spanish football. This resulted in Messi winning the first of four consecutive Ballon d'Ors, and by the 2011–12 season he had set the European record for most goals in a season and established himself as Barcelona's all-time top scorer. During the 2014–15 season, where he became the all-time top scorer in La Liga, he led Barcelona to a historic second treble, earning his fifth Ballon d'Or. Messi was named Barcelona's captain in 2018. While playing for the club, he won a club-record 34 trophies, including ten La Liga titles and four UEFA Champions Leagues. Financial difficulties at Barcelona led Messi to depart in August 2021 and sign with Paris Saint-Germain, where he won the Ligue 1 title during both of his seasons there. He joined the Major League Soccer club Inter Miami in July 2023, and led them to their first MLS Cup victory in 2025, while also winning back-to-back league MVP awards in 2024 and 2025.An Argentine international, Messi is the national team's all-time leading goalscorer and most-capped player. Several years after his senior debut in 2005, he won the gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Assuming captaincy in 2011, he led Argentina to three consecutive finals in the 2014 World Cup, the 2015 Copa América and the Copa América Centenario, all of which they lost. After announcing his retirement from international football in 2016, he returned to help Argentina qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Messi was central to ending Argentina's 28-year trophy drought by winning the 2021 Copa América. In 2022, he led Argentina to a World Cup victory, the country's first in 36 years. Messi's third major international title arrived when Argentina won the 2024 Copa América.Messi has endorsed the sportswear company Adidas since 2006. He was ranked the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2019 and 2022, and was among Time's 100 most influential people in the world in 2011, 2012, and 2023. In 2020 and 2023, he was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year, the first team-sport athlete to win the award. In 2020, Messi was named to the Ballon d'Or Dream Team and became the second footballer and second team-sport athlete to surpass $1 billion in career earnings. In 2026, Messi appeared on the World's Billionaires list for the first time at $1.1B net worth. Following his arrival and impact on football in the United States, Messi was named Time's Athlete of the Year in 2023, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by US president Joe Biden in 2025.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 12:39 UTC on Thursday, 18 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Lionel Messi on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, two veteran activists are celebrating one of the country's foundational principles: the right to protest, as embodied in the Declaration of Independence. But they warn that this right is under attack.“Our ability to protest is key to moving forward on a whole range of environmental and social issues … which is why I'm so terrified at the thought of losing this democratic right,” said Annie Leonard, who spent 17 years with Greenpeace USA, serving as executive director from 2014 to 2023.She and André Carothers are co-authors of “Protest: Respect It, Defend It, Use It.” Carothers spent 13 years with Greenpeace USA and co-founded and led the Rockwood Leadership Institute.The two have direct experience of the power of the protest and the ferocity of the pushback.Anti-protest laws are spreading and becoming increasingly repressive. Nearly 400 anti-protest bills have been introduced in 45 states, according to the International Center for Not-For-Profit Law. Activists are now being charged with felonies and accused of terrorism.One of the most draconian anti-protest tools is known as a strategic lawsuit against public participation, as was filed against Greenpeace by Energy Transfers, builder of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The company accused Greenpeace of inciting violence and spreading misinformation during indigenous-led protests in 2016 and 2017 that delayed construction. Last year, a North Dakota jury awarded Energy Transfers $660 million, later reduced to a still-staggering $345 million.SLAPP lawsuits “are designed to intimidate, silence, scare, distract and bankrupt critics,” Leonard told me. “It's a kind of corporate legal bullying” intended to prevent people from protesting. Forty states, including Vermont, now have anti-SLAPP statutes.“Protest” describes creative and successful acts of resistance from around the world. Among these are the 2015 protests by “kayaktivists” in Seattle aimed at stopping Shell Oil from drilling in the Arctic. Hundreds of people in kayaks, sailboats and tribal canoes took to the water to block an oil drilling rig, Shell's Polar Pioneer, as it was being moved to Alaska. The boaters held up signs saying, “Save the Arctic,” “Oil-Free Future” and “Shell No!”After spending $7 billion on Arctic oil exploration, Shell ultimately canceled the project, citing high costs and “the challenging and unpredictable federal regulatory environment,” which protesters took credit for.Leonard said that what made the Seattle protest successful was that it was “part of a long intentional escalating campaign” that included family kayak training each weekend and free kayak rentals. “There were community meetings and art builds. It was a very inclusive and participatory set of activities for a couple of years leading up to filling the actual bay with kayaks to try to stop the Polar Pioneer from moving forward.”Carothers noted that “a lot of these protesters are not honored at the time.” Rosa Parks and her husband lost their jobs and had to leave town after her refusal to give up her seat for a white person on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. It took nearly 40 years before Parks was honored by President Bill Clinton with a Presidential Medal of Freedom.“There are so many ways to get involved,” said Carothers, highlighting how citizens have protested the federal immigration crackdowns in New Orleans, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. He said he counted 27 different ways that people in Minneapolis resisted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, “from people driving their neighbors' kids to school because they didn't want to leave the house,” to lawyers offering their services in cars, to people delivering food to their immigrant neighbors, to others “who went to the detention center with a blanket and a cup of hot soup when someone was released.”Leonard and Carothers want their book to be both inspirational and practical. They are speaking at the Patagonia store in Burlington on June 5 and offering a training in nonviolent resistance the following day.“If you're feeling alone and if you're feeling isolated, don't be alone,” Carothers said. “Find a neighbor, find a mailing list that is describing what's available to you in your community … and do what it takes to support the universe of people who are perhaps more inclined to go in the street, or perhaps more inclined to be arrested because they have the social capital (or) the economic flexibility to risk arrest in a way other people don't.”“There's lots of ways to be involved,” Carothers added, emphasizing: “Protest works.”

Father Greg Boyle has spent nearly four decades alongside gang members in Los Angeles, founding Homeboy Industries from the poorest parish in the city. "An employed gang member may or may not go back to prison, but a healed one won't ever go back to prison." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Boyle reflects on what heals a life inside the world's largest gang-intervention program. Together they discuss tenderness as the highest form of spiritual maturity, kinship as the true goal (with peace and justice as byproducts), why "the poor evangelize you," why demonizing collapses on both political sides, and the mental-health roots of homelessness and gang life. Episode Highlights "The whole incarnation was necessary, not because of sin or salvation even. It's just, for me, it's God's love needed to become tender." "I think that's the singular agenda item for our God is just to look at you and say, 'Ah, you're here.'" "No kinship, no peace. No kinship, no justice. No kinship, no equality. It's how it works." "An employed gang member may or may not go back to prison, but a healed one won't ever go back to prison." "There aren't good guys and bad guys, you know? And God doesn't see it that way, as hard as that is for us to conceive." About Greg Boyle Father Gregory Boyle, SJ, is an American Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. A native Angeleno, he served as pastor of Dolores Mission in Boyle Heights from 1986 to 1992. In 2024 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, along with the California Peace Prize and Notre Dame's 2017 Laetare Medal.

This week on Truth to Power, in this important mid-term election year, we bring you a conversation with U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn about his book "The First Eight: A Personal History of the Pioneering Black Congressmen Who Shaped a Nation," with Louisville's former Congressman John Yarmuth. Jim Clyburn is the U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina's 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1993. He previously served as House Majority Whip from 2019 to 2022 and 2007 to 2010, making him the first African American to serve multiple terms as Majority Whip. Currently, he serves as the Ranking Member on the Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. The recipient of 39 honorary degrees, Congressman Clyburn's numerous awards include: the Lyndon Baines Johnson Liberty and Justice for All Award in 2015; the Harry S Truman Foundation's Good Neighbor Award in 2021; the NAACP's highest honor — the Spingarn Medal — in 2022, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation's highest civilian honor — in 2024. His endorsement of Joe Biden for president in 2020 is credited with boosting him to an overwhelming victory in the South Carolina and subsequent primaries and setting Biden on the path to the presidency. Clyburn's book, The First Eight, is an extraordinary work of living history. It explores the powerful, untold story of the pioneering Black politicians from South Carolina who were elected to Congress in the aftermath of the Civil War, and a revealing explanation of why it took nearly a century before the ninth, James Clyburn, was elected. Learn more about the book at https://www.carmichaelsbookstore.com/book/9780316572743 John Yarmuth is a former United States Congressman who served eight terms as the representative of Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District (2007-2023) and was chairman of the House Budget Committee from 2019-2023. He was the primary sponsor of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Yarmuth became the first Kentuckian to join the Progressive Congressional Caucus. He has been recognized for his work to improve education and expand access to affordable health care. Prior to his congressional career, he founded and edited the Louisville Eccentric Observer (LEO), a weekly alternative newspaper. During his 15 years with LEO, Yarmuth won nearly 20 awards for column and editorial writing. This conversation was held before a live audience at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Louisville on November 24, 2025. It was produced by the UofL Kentucky Author Forum and was released in January as the fifty-ninth episode of Great Podversations (https://kentuckyauthorforum.com/podcast/great-podversations-episode-59-clyburn-yarmuth/). Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://www.forwardradio.org

Jack Nicklaus is widely regarded as an American hero—though it's hard to measure a life defined by excellence, integrity, and generosity. He is far more than one of the greatest golfers in history; his impact reaches well beyond the game. What he and his wife Barbara Nicklaus have done for children's healthcare is nothing short of extraordinary. Through the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, they have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to support pediatric care, benefiting Nicklaus Children's Hospital and a broad network of pediatric centers across South Florida. His contributions have been recognized at the highest levels. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by the President of the United States, as well as the Congressional Gold Medal. He is also a recipient of the Lincoln Medal, honoring both his philanthropic and entrepreneurial achievements. As the golf world reflects on the approaching 40th anniversary of his sixth green jacket at Augusta National Golf Club during The Masters Tournament, demand for his time—and his story—has never been greater. We're especially grateful he chose to share it with us. Away from golf, fishing has played a meaningful role in his life—something many people don't realize. Over the years, he has pursued a wide range of game fish around the world, including landing a remarkable 1,358-pound blue marlin off Australia's Great Barrier Reef shortly before winning the Australian Open in 1978. From bonefish and Atlantic salmon to permit and beyond, he has spent decades exploring distant waters with a fly rod in hand. In this episode, we talk about that unforgettable day at Augusta nearly forty years ago, how he managed pressure at the highest level, his legacy in and beyond golf, his philanthropic work, and his lifelong passion for fishing. Thank you, Jack, for the humility, kindness, and generosity you continue to show—qualities that define not just a champion, but one of our nation's enduring heroes.

In this fiery second-hour rant, Clay Edwards unleashes on the double terrorist attacks that hit America yesterday—jihad strikes at Old Dominion University and a flaming car bomb at a Michigan synagogue. He calls out the Democrats' “Michigan problem,” open borders, and the radical left's refusal to fund DHS, warning that Iran-backed sleeper cells are already plotting drone boat attacks off California.   Clay praises the absolute American badassery of the ROTC cadet who jumped a convicted ISIS sympathizer in the classroom, stabbed him dead, and ended the threat—demanding the young hero get the Presidential Medal of Freedom and expedited entry into the military at the next State of the Union.   Veteran and fellow host Andrew Gosser joins the studio for a no-holds-barred breakdown: why this isn't “a war” yet but the full application of U.S. air supremacy, how weak Republicans and long-game Democrats are selling out the country, the cycle of strong men/weak times, and why America won't wake up until we get punched in the face harder than 9/11.   Raw, unfiltered, and zero apologies—this is Clay Edwards at his most incendiary. If you're tired of pretending terrorist attacks are “complicated” or that patriotism is optional, this episode is for you.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the longest State of the Union in history and why the Democrats' response is only making their "man problem" worse. From Trump's "aggressively masculine" variety hour to the nagging energy of the opposition, Bridget explores why the left is losing blue-collar men to the "Truck Commercial" energy of the GOP. #Democrats #Trump #SOTU #ManProblem #dumpsterfire #Olympics #Hockey Topics covered: State of the Union variety hour, why men are leaving the Democratic party, Trump's Oprah-style medals, the "Idiocracy" of modern politics, masculine vs feminine political branding.

Former Osage Principal Chief Jim Gray is remembered as a leader who laid the foundation for a modern, self-governing tribal structure while also reconnecting the tribe with its cultural roots. Among his many accomplishments as a transformative leader, Jim Gray spearheaded the historic reform of Osage government in 2004. That secured the individual right to vote for each Osage citizen rather than headright ownership and restored the Nation's sovereign status. During his time as principal chief, the Nation also successfully negotiated a landmark $380 million settlement with the U.S. government — at the time the largest of its kind — addressing decades of tribal trust fund mismanagement. All the while, he remained a determined advocate for cultural and language revitalization. Gray walked on this month. We'll hear from his family and friends about his legacy. We’ll also remember Black civil rights leader, Rev. Jesse Jackson, who died this week at the age of 84. Jackson championed various Native causes throughout his career including opposition to nuclear waste dumping on tribal lands and support for the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. GUESTS Olivia Gray (Osage), wife to Jim Gray Hepsi Barnett (Osage), former chief of staff and government reform coordinator for the Osage Nation Yancey Red Corn (Osage, Caddo, and Potawatomi), actor, CEO of White Buffalo Alliance and nephew to Jim Gray Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee), president of the Morning Star Institute and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom Break 1 Music: Wahzhazhe (song) Scott George (artist) Killers of the Flower Moon Soundtrack (album) Break 2 Music: Keep Hope Alive (song) The Crystal Method (artist) Vegas (album)

Today we celebrate the life of The Rev. Jesse Jackson, one of the world's best-known Black activists who worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr., died at the age of 84.The icon of the Civil Rights Movement and beyond was remembered by politicians and prominent activists after it was announced he died "peacefully" on Tuesday morning, February 17th after a long journey with a progressive neurological disease. Jackson was a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, a two-time Democratic presidential candidate and a mentor to many civil rights leaders.Hosted on Ausha.

1. Middle East Peace Agreement & U.S. Foreign Policy The discussion opens with praise for Donald Trump’s foreign policy—his “peace through strength” approach ended a two-year war, freed hostages, and prevented global instability. Trump is decisive and feared by America’s enemies (Iran, Hamas, China, Russia), contrasting with Biden, whom they describe as “weak and appeasing.” Historical examples (ISIS defeat, strikes on Iranian targets, anti-Houthi and anti-Venezuelan actions) are cited as evidence of Trump’s assertive leadership. 2. Government Shutdown The conversation blames Democrats—specifically Senator Chuck Schumer—for the “Schumer Shutdown.” The speakers argue Republicans are trying to reopen the government, while Democrats obstruct funding. They highlight political theater surrounding an upcoming rally (“No King’s Rally”) and accuse Democrats of prioritizing political optics over public service. There’s commentary on Congressional pay during shutdowns, with a contrast drawn between Cruz “refusing his paycheck” and Democrats “continuing to collect theirs.” 3. Charlie Kirk’s Death & Legacy This section memorializes Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, fictionalized here as assassinated and posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump. We explore Christian forgiveness, with Kirk’s widow, Erica, forgiving Kirk's killer during the televised service. The narrative blends religious devotion, martyrdom, and political faith, presenting Kirk as a “martyr for truth and freedom,” comparable to figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Lincoln, and Saint Peter. Trump’s and Erica’s differing views on “loving one’s enemies” are discussed as a theological and moral moment. 4. Interview with Eric Trump The final part is a conversation with Eric Trump, discussing: Legal battles faced by the Trump family (naming prosecutors like Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and Jack Smith). Financial strain (“$400 million defending ourselves against nonsense”). Perceived bias and corruption in the justice system. We then shift to personal reflections on Donald Trump as a father: Emphasis on discipline, hard work, no substance use, and humility despite wealth. Advice for parents: “Keep them poor, make them work early.” The conversation ends on a note of familial pride and loyalty. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
