WWE Hall of Famer and hardcore legend Mick Foley returns to join Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff for an EXCLUSIVE, extended, a no-holds-barred conversation about his powerful and viral Instagram post, leaving the WWE, Trump’s reckless push toward war with Iran and why it’s time for a new wave of independent veterans to step into the political ring. 

From Ohio hotel rooms and horror conventions to Capitol Hill and chaotic war rooms, Mick and Paul break down how we got here, why so many Americans feel politically homeless, and what it will take for principled veterans to challenge both parties—and stop another disastrous forever war before it starts.​

And Mick tells some amazing, wise and fascinating stories about the Undertaker, character, courage,  the World Baseball classic, playing Santa Claus, meeting Reggie Jackson on a plane, fatherhood and compromise; the dangers of treating the military like a toy; and how an unlikely alliance between a grizzled veteran advocate and a hardcore wrestling icon can help America find its backbone again—and maybe even have a nice day.
