235. Summer Dispatch. Musk vs Zuck in a Fight? For Vets? WTF. The Crisis of Masculinity. Christie Meets with Zelenskyy. FINALLY F-16s to Ukraine. Trump’s Month of Meltdowns & Poll Surges. US World Cup Women Are a Reflection of America. Forward Turns One.

The women’s World Cup is over for the US. But the summer is not. Hawaii is on fire. Billionaires are fighting each other. Trump has more indictments than any podcast has time to cover and finally President Biden has approved F-16s for Ukraine. This summer especially is a time to #StayVigilant. Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by author, activist and social entrepreneur Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is the truth beyond the headlines–and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It’s content for the 49% of Americans that proudly call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and veterans issues. This is another pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans will continue to be your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope. -Join the movement.
