It’s been one month of Trump 2.0. 

One month of drama. One month of chaos. One month of pain.

And Trump continues to roll unimpeded. The Democrats have put up little to no resistance and there are no saviors in sight. But we’ve got a glimmer of hope. A leader who could emerge as the one to take the helm and restore honor (and sanity) to the office. Maybe one day soon. 

We’ve got Maryland Governor Wes Moore back on the show for the fourth time—and for an exclusive one-on-one that’s the kind of frank and honest deep dive you can’t get anywhere else. Our host, Paul Rieckhoff and Governor Moore go way back. And they’re not holding back. 

This one is special. And it’s the perfect time for it. It’s a candid conversation between two friends about what it’s like to lead when the world is on fire. And who can lead us out of that fire. And how you can help. 

Every episode of Independent Americans breaks down the most important news stories–and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope. Stay vigilant, America.
