Marine Corps fighter pilot Amy McGrath (@AmyMcGrathKY) flew 89 combat missions. And ran one of the most-watched 2020 Senate races in America. She is a trailblazing combat veteran, a former Naval Academy professor and a mother of three. And now she’s a regular on MSNBC and leading the fight to protect women’s reproductive health and rights in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Roe decision. She’s a fighter, she’s one of our most popular guests, and she is back. Just in time to explain why the Pentagon is now the focal point for the biggest political fights in America. 

Rieckhoff also covers #SenatorRedneck’s fake promise to vets, the hardest working leader in the world, and why Mets fans can inspire us all. 

Be a leader. Not just a follower. Answer the call. Leave the herds. Declare your independence.

Amy joins host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff), for another fun and fiery episode of the best independent politics, news and culture show in America.
