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 (@JakeWoodTR). 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.
