The breakout moment is here. And it’s bigger than we hoped.
The strong and independent voice America trusts — and is looking for — especially in a time of war. As faith in the parties and corporate media plummets, Independent Americans is meeting the moment. This is our time.
The Brief
Four numbers that tell the story
The Colbert breakout
Paul’s Late Show clip is one of the top-performing posts on Colbert’s entire Instagram — outperforming Oprah, Shaq, Kendrick Lamar, Kimmel, and Bad Bunny.
And counting on TikTok
The same moment is past two million views on TikTok — a second platform, a second audience, the same voice.
In all News podcasts on Apple
Charting ahead of Maddow, Maher, Piers Morgan, Morning Joe, and Face the Nation — and chasing the very top of the category.
Full-year record, already broken
Last month, downloads surpassed all of last year’s total. Every week of 2026 is built to be bigger than the last.
The Colbert Breakout
01 / Top StoryThis was the moment we’d been building toward — and it landed even bigger than we hoped. We dug into Colbert’s Instagram feed: Paul’s clip is performing better than almost every other clip on the page. All of them — outside a handful of megaviral movie-star moments. Add 2M+ more on TikTok, and one late-night segment became a multi-platform proof of concept.
Among the best-performing clips on @colbertlateshow overall — ahead of nearly every guest outside a handful of megaviral top-tier movie-star moments.
The Audio Climb
02 / PodcastAmerica is starving for a smarter, more reasonable alternative to Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson — and something less liberal than Pod Save America and Meidas. Especially on war and national security, where Paul is one of the few hosts in America who is a veteran.
Bigger, more partisan names — behind an independent voice.
