Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks on Presenting the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal Novem Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks on Presenting the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal November 21, 2019 The President. Thank you very much. Please. The First Lady and I would just like to welcome everyone to the White House, a special place. It's very, very special. No matter where you go in the world, this is one of those places that you never forget. This afternoon it is my immense privilege to present our Nation's highest honors for contributions to American art and culture: the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal. Please join me in congratulating each of today's recipients on their really— and I mean truly phenomenal achievement. It's an incredible achievement. And congratulations to all. With us today are Vice President Mike Pence. Mike, thank you very much. Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Secretary Betsy DeVos. Thank you very much, Betsy. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a great warrior and a man who has done some incredible things 2 weeks ago. Al- Baghdadi. He did a very great job. Al-Baghdadi, the terrorist leader, the head of ISIS, is dead. Thank you very much, Mark Milley. Please stand up, Mark. Thank you. Also with us is a friend of ours and a great Congressman and a warrior in his own right: Congressman Phil Roe. Phil? Thank you, wherever you may be. Thank you, Phil, very much. Along with the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, Mary Anne Carter, and the Chairman of the National Endowment of the Humanities, Jon Peede. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Great nations produce great thinkers, artists, musicians, and scholars who make our world a more beautiful, enlightened, and joyful place. Each of today's recipients has made outstanding contributions to American society, culture, and life. They exemplify the genius, talent, and creativity of our exceptional Nation. [At this point, the song "Midnight Cowboy" was played.] I want to hear that whole song, but I don't know, Jon, maybe we've got to get it moving a little bit. [Laughter] But what a great movie. You've made some of the greatest movies of all time. Thank you very much. Actor and friend Jon Voight is one of America's greatest living legends in cinema. He has captivated audiences for more than half a century, starring in dozens of Hollywood blockbusters, including "Midnight Cowboy," "Coming Home," "Mission Impossible," and "National Treasure." And another one—I think it's, frankly, the greatest boxing movie of all time—"The Champ." And that was some great movie. Everyone was crying at that movie. I tried not to, Jon—[laughter]— but wasn't easy. It wasn't easy—"The Champ." And that was with Ricky Schroder, right? Ricky Schroder. A really great job. That was incredible. Jon is an actor of astonishing range and depth. As the memorable Ed Gentry, he played one of the leading roles in "Deliverance," another great one. He became an investigative reporter tracking down Nazi war criminals in the "Odessa File." And inhabited the role of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in "Pearl Harbor." He was so great. And he masterfully played Howard Cosell in "Ali." That was not an easy role. I know Howard very well. I knew him very well. 1 Jon captures the imagination of the audiences and dominates almost every single scene he's in. He's a special person. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor, earned four Oscar nominations and four Golden Globes. Jon Voight, you are an amazing artist and a beloved icon of the American film. Congratulations. Receiving the National Medal of Arts is a tremendous, tremendous achievement. And you deserve it. We're really—we love having you here, especially since it's somebody that I happen to really like. [Laughter] So thank you very much, Jon. Congratulations. Sharon Rockefeller has been a strong advocate for the arts and public broadcasting. The First Lady of West Virginia, Sharon fought on behalf of the State's schoolchildren and served on the board of the West Virginia Educational Broadcasting Authority. She is currently Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the National Gallery of Art and has helped the institution acquire breathtaking works of beauty, some of the best anywhere in the world. Sharon has also served as president of the Washington Educational Telecommunications Association for 30 years. She helped—established WETA as one of the preeminent public broadcasting networks in the Nation, producing "PBS NewsHour" and "Washington Week," among other programming. And now maybe I'll start getting some good publicity on those particular shows, Sharon. Could you please start working on that, Sharon? [Laughter] They tend to be on the other side of things a little bit. [Laughter] I think now I have a better chance. Sharon, as you receive the National Medal of Arts, we thank you for enriching the lives of millions. And I want to thank you very much for being here, Sharon. Great job you've done. Thank you. Incredible job. Another friend of mine, author James Patterson is one of the most prolific and talented fiction writers of all time. James has authored or coauthored 277 books and sold more than 400 million copies worldwide. And I always tell James that I don't talk about the books that I've done, when I'm in his presence, because he's outdone me by a lot. You've sold a lot more books than me—[laughter]—and I guess you've sold a lot more books than anyone, but maybe one. I don't know, the Bible, I think, has you. Right, James? The Bible has you by a little bit, right? But James is most prolific and highly, highly talented. Two hundred and eighteen of his titles have earned a spot on the New York Times bestseller list, and 95 of them have been ranked number one. From "Alex Cross" to "Invisible," James has entertained adults and children alike with gripping action, stirring adventure, and thrilling mystery. He's also given millions of dollars and countless books to charity. James, I want to just congratulate you. I know him so well, and he's a special, special man with a very, very special family. So congratulations on receiving the National Humanitaries [Humanities]* Medal. And I want to just congratulate you, because it's fantastic. Fantastic job. Fantastic job. Thanks, James. Alison Krauss—— [The song "Down in the River to Pray" began to play.] The President. Oh, I like the music better. Go ahead. [Laughter] ["Down in the River to Pray" continued to play.] The President. Alison Krauss is one of the most acclaimed musicians in America. She picked up a fiddle for the first time at the age of 5, signed her first record at 14, and earned her first Grammy at 19. During a career spanning over three decades, Alison has never been confined * White House correction. 2 to one musical genre or style. She has received more than 25 top awards for gospel, country, and bluegrass. She has sold over 12 million records worldwide, won more Grammys than any woman in history. Wow, that's pretty good. [Laughter] That's a big statement. Look how shy she is. [Laughter] And today we proudly present her the National Medal of Arts. And, Alison, I want to thank you very much for sharing your wonderful gift with the world. Thank you very much. It's fantastic. Chef and restauranteur Patrick O'Connell is a preeminent culinary artist and a trailblazing industry pioneer. Patrick showcases the brilliance of American technique, the depth of American ingredients, and the limitless potential of American high cuisine at its absolute finest. In 1978, Patrick opened the Inn at Little Washington in the small rural town of Washington, Virginia. Patrick transformed the former gas station into one of the most renowned fine dining establishments on Earth. For the past 2 years, the Inn at Little Washington has been one of the just handful of restaurants in America to receive three Michelin stars. Every day, Patrick and his team pursue absolute perfection. They are true artists who fill us with pride in our national cuisine. Patrick, as we award you the National Humanities Medal—a very special, very powerful award—we thank you and your entire team for the enduring contribution to American culture. And I think the First Lady and I will have to stop by very soon—[laughter]—because it sounds good to me, and I've heard incredible things. Thank you very much. Thank you, Patrick, very much. Thank you very much. Thank you, Patrick. I'd like to acknowledge the extremely talented White House chefs here this afternoon, including Tommy Kurpradit. Where is Tommy? Tommy, you have to be around here. Tommy? Thank you, Tommy. What a job you do. You do too good a job, as far as I'm concerned. [Laughter] Who once worked under Patrick at the Inn. And as one of America's leading think tanks, the Claremont Institute has made invaluable contributions to the history of American conservative thought. Claremont educates, reminds, and informs Americans about the founding principles that have made our country the greatest Nation anywhere on Earth. Through publications, seminars, and scholarship, they fight to "recover the American idea"—I know it well—by teaching about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the writings of Abraham Lincoln, whose bedroom is right above us. It's a great thing to see that bedroom, isn't it, General? Isn't that something? The General went up and saw it recently, and it's something very special.

  • Deana Carter Danny Myrick
    Deana Carter DEANA CARTER, the daughter of famed studio guitarist and producer Fred Carter, Jr., grew up surrounded by musical greats, including Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Waylon Jennings, and Simon & Garfunkel. She developed her songwriting skills at writer’s nights throughout Nashville, but her real break came when one of her demo tapes fell into the hands of Willie Nelson, who remembered Deana as a child. Impressed with how she’d grown as a songwriter, Nelson asked Deana to perform along with John Mellencamp, Kris Kristofferson, and Neil Young, as the only female solo artist to appear at Farm Aid VII in 1994. Her 1996 debut album Did I Shave My Legs for This? quickly climbed to the top of both the country and pop charts, quickly achieving multi-platinum status. "Strawberry Wine,” the first single from the album, was awarded CMA's 1997 Single of the Year. Seven albums and a decade later, Deana is still writing and producing for both the pop/rock and country markets when not on the road touring. Her superstar success continues to be evident. Her chart topper “You & Tequila,” co-written with Matraca Berg and recorded by Kenny Chesney, was nominated in 2011 as CMA’s “Song of the Year” and received two Grammy nods. Carter also recently co-wrote and produced a new album for recording artist Audra Mae while putting the finishing touches on her own Southern Way of Life that hit the shelves last December. Danny Myrick DANNY MYRICK is an award winning songwriter and musician based here in Nashville.

  • The Complete Music Distribution Checklist
    Presents The Complete Music Distribution Checklist Everything You Need to Sell & Stream Your Music Online The Complete Music Distribution Checklist Everything You Need to Sell & Stream Your Music Online You only get one chance to release a new song or album, so you want to do it right. Here’s what you’ll need to properly distribute your music worldwide: 1. AN ARTIST NAME This is the name you release music under. It could be your given name, a band name, or a moniker. If you’re releasing music for the first time, Google your artist name to make sure it’s not already being used by another group or artist. 2. ANY OTHER PRIMARY OR FEATURED ARTISTS This info will be included in the metadata sent to digital music platforms, and help your music reach those other artists’ audiences. • Primary artists are the main artists on a recording. Often there is only one primary artist (for example: Ed Sheeran), but occasionally music is released with multiple primary artists listed. This is done when two or more artists that do not usually work together collaborate on an album or single (for example: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss). Multiple primary artists for a release are also referred to as “compound artists.” • Collaborators who DO work together on an ongoing basis can enter their “band name” as a single primary artist (for instance, “Brooks & Dunn” or “Simon & Garfunkel”). • “Featuring” artists are those who collaborate on specific tracks, but who should not receive primary artist billing for the release. 2 THE COMPLETE MUSIC DISTRIBUTION CHECKLIST 3.
