🎙🚨The campaign season rages on and it’s another week with another incident of Trump disrespecting the troops and refusing to follow the rules. It’s just another drop in the bucket to some people, but in this episode, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down why it’s a massive insult to current and former troops and a violation of the most sacred space in our country. It’s a context you’re not going to hear most places, and it’s critical to understanding the gravity of the situation.

And he’s also digging into the collapse of the Kennedy Presidential campaign, a powerful admission by former UFC fighter and WWE star, Ronda Rousey, and reflecting early on the true meaning and power of 9/11. And give you a sneak preview of a special Independent Veterans of America event happening next month.

The corporate and partisan media are complicit in the dangerous dysfunction and division of our politics. There’s a constant communications battle happening behind the scenes that most Americans never see. The spin, the pitching, the pushback, the misinformation, the threats, the negotiating of access.

Most of the media is one giant self-licking ice cream cone.

But not this show. We call it straight and if you don’t think so, let us know about it. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It’s content for the 51% of Americans that now call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues. This is another pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics and inspiration.

🎙🚨Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff has been to both conventions for the last twenty years. And for a political nerd and activist like him, they’re always fascinating, sometimes fun, occasionally frightening, frequently historic, and often frustrating. Especially since they’re dominated by the rich, the powerful, and the connected. And especially now—as 51% of the country is not a Democrat or Republican.

So this week, he’s got a low bar for the DNC. He just wants to see something positive and honest that he can actually watch with his kids. Something that tries to unite and speak to all Americans. Something that shows a better face of America to the world. And something that moves people who need to be moved. It can’t be a victory lap. It’s gotta be the best sales pitch/infomercial ever. Because after this week ends, it’s gonna be back to nasty, divisive, infinitely precarious, and full of potentially bad surprises.

There’s an immeasurable amount of work ahead. To beat Donald Trump. But also to move, heal and grow America afterward. And to face all the challenges—foreign and domestic that loom. For these guys. And for all our children. And that’s gonna take all of us. Democrats, Republicans and Independents.

🎙🚨Democrats are feeling hopeful right now. And hope is contagious. Americans love hope. We saw that in massive ways in and around the Olympics. We see it at the start of the new school year. The beginning of the new football season. Fall is actually a time of hope. And the hope is contagious right now. But hope is not a course of action. Hope is not a plan. But it is cool. And a lot cooler than weird.

Meanwhile, the war between the warrior candidates over their time in uniform continues. This week, with Walz defending himself from the Swift Boat 2.0 attack from Trump, Vance and the MAGA right. As Harris surges, Trump’s desperation is increasing, and the race continues to heat up.

But will it move enough independents? And why are Trump supporters worried about RFK Jr and pushing for Cornell West to get on the ballot in Wisconsin? And we check in on Zelensky and Ukraine, the only folks having a better two weeks than Harris and Walz.

And we’ve got the perfect guest to cut through the noise. He’s been in the fire and he’s as cool as they get. Michael Steele () is back and as always, he’s bringing the heat (Hear/watch his previous appearances in Episode 269 on Leap Day - Feb. 29, 2024, Episode 193 from Oct 2022 and Episode 222 from May 2023). The Former Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Former Lt. Gov. of Maryland has served in all levels of elected and government office and is now the host of an all new show on MSNBC, the Weekend. It’s another fun, insightful and real insiders conversation about the Presidential race and all the related parts. With no punches pulled.

🎙🚨Last week we said we were going to take off this week to get some much needed R&R. 2024 was having none of it. In the span of the last week we’ve had a month's worth of news, crises and developments. From Trump’s abysmal performance at the NABJ conference to a story so bizarre you have to hear it straight from the source to believe it, the news won’t quit. So we won’t either. And oh yeah, by the way, Harris named her VP pick.

Tim Walz is a leader of integrity, honor, humility and fight. He’s a friend of host Paul Rieckhoff and he’s a patriotic, down to earth and lovable bulldog. He knows how to fight against (but also alongside) Republicans. He understands that making real and lasting change in Washington requires bipartisanship. Especially now.

It’s a big bold pick that won’t make everyone happy. But it guarantees that there will be a veteran as VP in the next administration. Veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan are starting to shape the political landscape, just like the generations of veterans that came before them. We’ll always celebrate that.

🎙🚨Welcome back, America. Welcome back to the hottest summer on record. Literally and figuratively. The planet is on fire, our politics are on fire and we’re only getting started. And because of that reason, we’re going to do something we haven’t done since we started Righteous Media and all of the offshoot projects we’ve created along the way. We’re going to take a break. We’re going to shut it down for one week so we can recharge our batteries, clear our heads, and prepare ourselves for the sh*tshow that will be this fall. But before we take a break, we’ve got one more pod to help you get through the dog days of summer.

Welcome back to our groundbreaking “Meet The 2024 Independent Candidates” series—highlighting independent candidates of all kinds, for all levels of office, from all across America. So far in the series we’ve met Dan Osborn, Shelane Etchison, Jared Young, Marcus Carter, Kodi Sawin and Tyrell Hicks. They all represent the true independent spirit. And this episode we’re bringing you a remix. The best of the Meet the Independent Candidates Series.

🎙🚨Welcome back to our groundbreaking “Meet The 2024 Independent Candidates” series—highlighting independent candidates of all kinds, for all levels of office, from all across America. So far in the series we’ve met Dan Osborn, Shelane Etchison, Jared Young, Marcus Carter and Kodi Sawin.

They all represent the true independent spirit. And we’ve got another great one for you in this episode.

America, meet Tyrell Hicks, independent candidate for Florida’s House of Representatives for the 68th District. He’s a Marine veteran and a man on a mission. And while he understands how hard that mission is going to be, he’s not backing down. And he’s got a smart and responsible perspective that we’ve honestly never heard from another politician. You’re going to love his candor, his humility and his fire. Because he’s a TRUE Independent American—and an inspiring, next-generation leader we all need.

And before that conversation, with humor and objectivity, Paul powerfully and independently rips into Biden’s historic address to the nation, the rapid nomination of Kamala Harris, why she might struggled with independents, who she should pick for VP to capture more independents, JD Vance’s dud of a launch, Hulk Hogan and a very unusual Republican National Convention, RFK Jr’s newest bad news, and much more. It’s a show that avoids the partisanship—and pulls no punches. It's straight talk for chaotic times.

🎙🚨Former President Trump narrowly avoided an assassin's bullet. America is on edge. And it feels like we’re all dodging news bullets every day. These are incomparably trying times in America, many are divided, and everyone is concerned. Biden’s campaign continues to disintegrate—and so does international confidence in US leadership and American morale. The most important, most violent and most divisive election of our lifetime rolls on. And we’re all starved for leadership and inspiration.

Paul Rieckhoff breaks down this moment, and the most important and latest news, including the evolution of American support for Ukraine, what real American toughness looks like, and what’s coming next.

And, he tears into all of it with a powerful and inspiring conversation with the smart, impressive and dynamic Jake Wood (). Jake’s a social entrepreneur, Marine Corps combat veteran, author and CEO of Groundswell, an innovative new company that democratizes corporate philanthropy and empowers employees to take action. He’s also the co-founder of the disaster relief powerhouse non-profit Team Rubicon. And, he’s a former sniper and he breaks down the assassination attempt and the catastrophic chain of events that allowed it to happen.

He’s giving you a sniper’s eye view into the Trump shooting, the latest from the campaign trail, the national competition between profit and values, and what’s to come this summer and fall environmentally that will require more disaster relief than any time before.

🎙🚨Monday morning, in advance of the NATO Summit in Washington DC, Russian missiles ferociously tore through a children’s cancer hospital in Kyiv-sending a brutal reminder to the world. Russia is not sparing anyone. Putin is proceeding to murder innocent children while the world watches.

This is why veterans recently started American Veterans for Ukraine and it’s why so many other people have felt the call to serve. And it’s why we’re not going to look away on this show. We’re not going to stop covering this terrible conflict, until Ukraine achieves victory.

Tim Mak () is a leader dedicated to that victory. Tim is founder and editor of The Counteroffensive. Follow them now. He’s an independent, investigative journalist with a background in politics, national security, and emergency medicine. He was there in Kyiv as the attacks unfolded. He rushed to the hospital to report on the carnage. And he joins us between power outages from Ukraine now. After this week’s deadly attack, he’s the perfect independent voice to hear from.

And our host Paul Rieckhoff tears into the collapse of support for Joe Biden, why the most recent politicians to abandon Biden are so important, the squishiness from the White House on Ukraine, why Jim Mattis is back in the news, why American Generals have so often been President, JFK Jr’s latest conspiracy theory pushing (and snake catching!), why LeBron is what American politics should be, and why the Olympics are so important to America (and Americans) right now.

04/07/2024

🎙🚨In the wake of a catastrophic and nationally demoralizing presidential debate last week, and in advance of July 4th, Independent Veterans of America (IVA) announced its formation with an urgent mission to organize and elect independent veterans to public office across America.
The organization is the first in American history to focus specifically on recruiting and electing independent and unaffiliated veteran candidates and incumbents. As of today, all details about IVA can now be found online at www.IndependentVeteransOfAmerica.org.

Launching the week of Independence Day, IVA also announced a summer-long “Independents’ Month” campaign to recruit independent veteran leaders–and to encourage those registered with the Democratic, Republican, Libertarian Party and any other party to “declare their independence”, put our country ahead of any party, and join IVA.

IVA will support independent veteran candidates at all levels — from local school boards to the US Senate.

“Veterans are uniquely appreciate and defend our core American values. Independent veterans live country over party. We are uniquely powerful. We look out for and support each other. And we are ready to step up to serve our country again in this time of need,” added Rieckhoff.
Rieckhoff continued, “IVA will be the ground game that ensures victory for independent vets. And the courageous spark that inspires the movement. They no longer have to fight alone. This is a movement that will also launch our first wave of independent veteran candidates for office in 2024, with waves to follow every two years thereafter. IVA is the cavalry the independent movement has been waiting for. And the leaders America needs now.”

🎙🚨School is finally out in schools nationwide. The NBA Finals and Stanley Cup are over. Summer is heating up. The war in Ukraine continues. The 2024 election is about to hit a whole new level.

And the first presidential debate is here. Strap in, folks. It’s gonna be a doozy.

Your host Paul Rieckhoff () rips into all of it in this all new episode of Independent Americans. And, digs into the release of Julian Assange, the latest on the RFK Jr campaign for President, a provocative plan for Ukraine proposed to Trump, and what to expect from the presidential debate none of us wanna see, but we’re all gonna watch. And how independent voters are at the epicenter of all of it.

And so is Errol Louis (). He’s the beloved host of Inside City Hall, a CNN Contributor and Director of the Urban Reporting Program at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism. He’s closely covered Trump, Biden and everyone else for decades.

He’s also a man who has moderated more debates than almost anyone. A man who also served as a panelist in the massively important 2016 Democratic presidential debate in Brooklyn between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. It was in April 2016, just 5 days before the crucial primary election in New York. It would serve to be Sanders’ last stand, before Clinton eventually got the nomination. And the great Errol Louis was on that stage. A steady, strong, focused voice---to keep things on track--and represent the people. And Louis is a guy who made it all the way to that national stage, after himself starting out in the projects in Harlem–as the humble son of a cop.

It’s the kind of unique insight and perspective you can only get from a trusted insider. And from this show. Because on Independent Americans, we’re focused on not just what’s happening now, but also on what’s happening next.

🎙🚨Five years ago, almost to the exact day, Wes Moore came on a new upstart podcast and talked about what made him angry. Specifically, he talked about ma*****na laws and how they disproportionately impacted communities of color. These laws ruined a lot of people’s lives over the years. And they made a lot of people angry. But Wes stepped up. Since he was elected as The Governor of Maryland last year, he’s put his money where his mouth was and he pushed it through. And now more than 175,000 Marylanders have had their criminal records expunged by his Executive Action. It’s an amazing example of his commitment and follow through and why your host Paul Rieckhoff frequently refers to Maryland’s Governor as potentially our future President. And in this throwback episode, you’re going to hear exactly why.

Your host Paul Rieckhoff rips into all of it in this all new episode of Independent Americans. From Putin visiting North Korea, to Juneteenth, to RFK failing to qualify for the debates, there’s a lot happening. School might be out for the summer, but the news is just heating up. Because on Independent Americans, we’re focused on not just what’s happening now, but also on what’s happening next.

🎙🚨Willie Geist is America’s cool dad. Hosting Morning Joe on MSNBC all week and hosting his own hugely popular Sunday TODAY show on NBC on the weekends. He’s also a devoted husband and dad. He joins us for a Father’s Day special to talk candidly about how he does both so well. He's a leader that America trusts. And we’re gonna need him as we launch deeper into the most insane election year ever.

As his star has continued to rise, he’s kept himself grounded. And always made time to mentor others and support countless leaders and charities.

And, he was our first guest on this show EVER! (Episode 1 - April 4, 2019) And he rejoined us during the pandemic to reflect on July 4th back in 2020N (Episode 66 - July 3, 2020).

Now, he’s back with us to share his insights, stories, wisdom and parental lessons learned. It’s Willie from inside his own house, with no barriers or commercial breaks.

And your host Paul Rieckhoff rips into all of it in this all new episode of Independent Americans. He’s busting into Senator Tommy Tuberville’s latest pro-Putin antics, why RFK Jr continues to do shady things, and why we can all learn so much from D-Day—one week later.

So hit that download button now. You won’t be sorry. It’s the best free Father’s Day gift around.

🎙🚨Summer is here. And it’s getting hot. In America, around the world, and in our politics. And we’re not afraid of some heat. From the Trump verdict to Menendez and Manchin claiming independence to p**p balloons. Yes, p**p balloons. It’s already a wild summer.

And it’s also a summer of independents. So welcome back to our groundbreaking “Meet The 2024 Independent Candidates” series—highlighting independent candidates of all kinds, for all levels of office, from all across America. In our last episode in the series we met Kodi Sawin, an independent powerhouse from Texas. She dropped us a line to let us know that right after she was on the show she passed her verified signature count and is on track to submit her application and petition on or before June 10. We’re tracking on her race—and every single one of the candidates we’ve be profiling in the series.

And speaking of candidates… America, meet Marcus Carter. He’s running for Congress in Florida’s 9th District and is up against incumbent Democrat Darren Soto. And a Republican to be decided after an August primary. They’re long odds to face, but Marcus will make his case why he thinks he’s the best option for voters in his district and he’s got the kind of independent spirit we want to highlight.

If you’re interested in independent politics—or American politics in general—this is a rare inside look at politics at the local level. If you’re an independent, you’ve found your home. And an inspiring one at that.

Your host Paul Rieckhoff rips into all of it in this all new episode of Independent Americans. And he’s digging into the aftershocks of the Trump guilty verdict and how it might impact the race, Eric Adams failing again and again, Zelensky and Ukraine finally getting the go ahead to hit targets of military importance inside Russia and p**p balloon attacks. That’s right, p**p balloons. Because nothing makes more sense in 2024 than weaponized balloons carrying p**p. Keep your head on a swivel, people!

🎙🚨Last week you heard from Bonnie Carroll about her work with host Paul Rieckhoff to create the American Veterans for Ukraine organization. Immediately after recording that show, in advance of Memorial Day, at a historic event at Ukraine House in Washington, D.C., five leading voices from the American veterans community formally announced the formation of a groundbreaking new veterans organization focused on supporting victory in Ukraine. American Veterans for Ukraine, is a groundbreaking new effort from our host, Paul Rieckhoff, and past guests of the show Bonnie Carroll, Matt Gallagher, Adrian Bonenberger and Nolan Peterson.

AVU is an American, non-partisan, non-profit organization with a clear mission: connecting, uniting and empowering American veterans to support victory for Ukraine.

AVU’s two lines of effort to ensure that mission is accomplished are:

1. Driving public support for Ukraine.
2. Protecting continued US government funding for the fight.

Along with the AVU Founders, attendees heard from Hope for Ukraine CEO, Yuriy Boyechko, Co-Founder of TAPS Ukraine and reserve Lieutenant in the Ukrainian military, Yuliya Dmytrova, as well as Katherine Semenyuk, a Ukrainian American military chaplain who on the first day of the Russian invasion, gave birth to her fifth child in a bunker, embodying the spirit of survival and determination. A video statement was also presented from Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret) and 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO.

AVU’s five Co-Founders are known worldwide for their commitment to America, to the veterans community, and to issues of national security, global security, and peace. They represent a deep and diverse scope of backgrounds and are combining efforts to meet this critical moment in American and global history.

It was an inspiring event and we want you to join us.

Days before AVU launched another great organization hosted a gala as IAVA Salutes had another great event in support of their noble cause. As we reflect on Memorial Day, please keep organizations like IAVA and TAPS in mind. They are the helpers. And sometimes the helpers need a little help.

And one more thing to keep in mind as you navigate the chaos as we pay tribute to the great Bill Walton, a true American hero who did it his own way. A true icon and a great Independent American. Thank you for changing the game and making life more fun for all of us.

23/05/2024

🎙🚨Another Memorial Day is upon us. A reminder of all those we’ve lost. And, a reminder that no matter how high the stakes, no matter how challenging the odds, as the allied forces showed us on D-Day and throughout WW2, and as generations of American service members throughout other points in history, the underdog can win.

The underdog can come back. And win. We should also keep that in mind when it comes to Ukraine. Because Ukraine will show us underdogs can come back. But it’s also the time some real heroes also back a comeback. People who step up to answer the call. Including 5 people you’ve heard on this show. And one you’ll hear from in this episode. .

And we’ll intro you introduce you to American Veterans for Ukraine, a groundbreaking new effort from our host, Paul Rieckhoff, Bonnie Carroll, Matt Gallagher, Adrian Bonenberger and Nolan Peterson.

And in this episode we dig into all of it with Bonnie Carroll (). Bonnie is a true helper and she has helped to guide so many people through similar awful journeys. Grief is an unbearable burden and Bonnie and the amazing volunteers that she works with at TAPS help the survivors to learn how to carry that weight. They’re helpers. And as we head into another Memorial Day weekend with heavy hearts, we all could use some help.

As the war in Ukraine rages on, TAPS is there, helping them deal with the grief. Helping them navigate their pain. And she takes time out to join us for a very special episode, to help us all as we struggle to process the seemingly endless cycle of senseless violence that has occurred over the past few weeks.

🎙🚨This episode we’re headed down south to Texas. America, meet Kodi Sawin (). She’s running for the Texas House of Representatives in the 19th district and is up against some stiff competition. But her common sense, no nonsense approach might just have what it takes to win as an independent in deep red (but always independent) Texas.

Welcome back to our groundbreaking “Meet The 2024 Independent Candidates” series—highlighting independent candidates of all kinds, for all levels of office, from all across America. In our third episode in the series we met Dan Osborn, an independent VETERAN candidate.

Kodi has served for years as the founder of the Sawin Group, specializing in public and government affairs for infrastructure and natural resource projects. She has been recognized for her knowledge and expertise in water issues in Texas and has worked with utilities, landowners, and non-profits to help fix the problems her community faces. It’s a great look at the local level and the kind of race the national media never takes the time to look at, but the reality is that it's the kind of race that will make the most impact on the lives of the voters and the rest of the people that live in Sawin’s district.

If you’re interested in independent politics—or American politics in general—this is a rare inside look at politics at the local level. If you’re an independent, you’ve found your home. And an inspiring one at that.

Your host Paul Rieckhoff () rips into all of it in this all new episode of Independent Americans. And he’s digging into the announcement of the two Biden/Trump Presidential debates, the latest primary result warning signs, the news out of Ukraine, and why a Fight Club scene is a good reflection of how millions of Americans feel this election year.

Because on Independent Americans, we’re focused on not just what’s happening now, but also on what’s happening next.
