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.
