Show Notes

It’s time for another walk. Through the chaos of the last couple of weeks and the signs of spring fighting to break through winter’s icy grip. The markets on fire, the world is outraged and our enemies are celebrating.

And with so many questions looming about the economy, Trump’s decisions and what’s next for Ukraine, there might not be a better guest to get a gauge of where things stand. He’s maybe the most reasonable Republican in the house, and as a result he’s butted heads with everyone. From Laura Loomer all of the way to the Oval Office, Republican Congressman and retired Air Force General Don Bacon is the perfect guest for this episode.

He represents the maverick spirit we’ve seen from so many of the good folk from Nebraska we’ve profiled on the show. I’m not sure what’s in the water out there, but we should bottle it and send it to Washington ASAP. They need it bad. And so do we all.

It’s a great conversation with an influential decision maker at a critical time in our country’s history. Welcome to Independent Americans, Episode 328.
