Ukraine is fighting for their freedom. Iranian protestors are fighting for their freedom. And here in America, none of us feel free from the threat of gun violence. 
It’s a time where freedom is under assault always, and in all ways. 
So let’s talk about freedom. In America, in Iran, in Ukraine. And let’s talk about how to be more free in our lives daily. Being free from school shootings and technology. This is a deep one. It’s my first in-person conversation since the pandemic. And it’s a great one. With one of my favorite thinkers in America. 
And one of my favorite people in America.
Sebastian Junger (@SebastianJunger) is back!
Sebastian Junger is one of the most important authors, thinkers and public intellectuals in America. And one of the most interesting guys you’ll ever hear. He’s also a true badass and adventurer—the spirit of Hemingway—who joined us in Episode 116 – May 27, 2021 and Episode 100 – February 4, 2021. He is back to talk candidly about life, fatherhood, almost dying, Ukraine, social media, politics and more.

  There’s lots going on that most folks aren’t tracking on. Especially in Ukraine. But that’s not the case on this show. We’ve got a show focused on the most important and underreported latest. Especially when it comes to national and global security.  And we’re taking you inside the massive meeting between American Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Milley and his Ukrainian counterpart just over the Polish border from Ukraine.  Dan Lamothe is traveling with General Milley and joins us from Brussels with the inside scoop. And a look inside what it’s like to travel with America’s most powerful military leader.  The Washington Post’s Dan Lamothe (@DanLamothe) is one of the best military and Pentagon reporters in America. He has written about the US Armed Forces for more than a decade, traveling extensively, embedding with each service, and covering combat in Afghanistan numerous times.  Dan has joined us on this show three times. He joined us for Episode 96 in January of 2021. And again for Episode 154 back in February 2022 to talk about then new documents that revealed the U.S. military was intensely frustrated with the administration over the Afghanistan evacuation. And he joined us for Episode 185—one year after the collapse of Afghanistan—to share the insights and moving takeaways from his exclusive new story. And the intrepid reporter is again breaking news that you need to know more about.  The fighting never ends. The political fighting. And the actual fighting. And the leaders leading the fight make all the difference. Whether it’s President Zelensky. Or new Maryland Governor Wes Moore.  If you want or need a reason to be inspired and motivated, look to Annapolis this week and until further notice. Look to Maryland. And look to Wes Moore and his family and team. AND the first guest of this show to be governor of Maryland.  You heard him on this show. If you haven’t, go back and listen to Episodes 10 way back in 2019 and and 105 in March 2021. He might be the first guest of this show to be elected president too. And Rieckhoff digs into it. Along with news about the US Navy veteran released by Russia this week that you probably didn’t hear about—and a breakdown of all the NFL playoff games—and predictions!  Welcome to the future of politics–the future of war–and the future of all things. Welcome to another Ukraine war report.  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.

  The chaos is real. The news is overwhelming.  It’s a new year. But it’s the same old chaos. But it seems to be even worse.  But nowhere is it worse than in Ukraine.  In Ukraine, it’s a new year. And the same war.  And in the midst of all the madness. This is the most important madness. And we’re gonna dig into it. He has spent the last 8 years of his life living in Ukraine. And has spent the last year on the front lines of the war helping us all stay connected—and stay vigilant.  He’s an American special forces veteran, a combat journalist, and the husband of a Ukrainian–who is telling the story of this war—-through his life in it: Nolan Peterson (@NolanWPeterson).  A former U.S. Air Force Special Operations pilot and veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Nolan Peterson is Senior Editor for Coffee or Die Magazine, an acclaimed war correspondent, and a globetrotting travel writer whose adventures have taken him to all seven continents.  And he breaks down what’s happening now in Ukraine now: in Kiev, in Mariupol, in Bucha, in bunkers, in Ukrainian hearts–and into the future. He tells us all how to Stand by Ukraine. Check out all his recent articles from the war in Ukraine.  And as mentioned in the pod, here’s how you can send your own customized artillery shell to Russia with love.  Previous appearance: Episode 170 – May 12, 2022 Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by author, activist and social entrepreneur Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is the truth beyond the headlines–and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

  As we look ahead to 2023 we’re going to take one last look at one of the best moments from our Patreon bonus content. Michael Beschloss (@BeschlossDC) is a truly important, inspiring and iconic American that is shaping what America has been, what it is, and what it will be. And he is a truly independent American. He joined host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) back in Episode 196 – November 10, 2022 for some much needed post-election perspective. As always, it was a conversation that helped you get smarter, predict better, and of course, stay vigilant. Because eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. And that crucial week, we all had a chance to see  what could happen if we’re willing to pay that price. It was an inspiring moment and it’s well reflected in this behind the scenes moment. It’s content that is normally only for members of our Patreon community. But since it’s that time of year we’re dropping this gift down your chimney. We hope you love it as much as we do.  We’ll be back in January with more new guests and shows and as always Independent Americans will continue to be your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.  Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by author, activist and social entrepreneur Paul Rieckhoff is the truth beyond the headlines–and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

As 2022 winds down, we’re all ready for a little break. And as we recognize the festival of lights, and get ready for Santa, we’re getting one more holiday surprise this year. And that means it’s STILL time to stay vigilant. Ahead of Zelensky’s historic and important visit Wednesday, December 21, 2022 to our Capitol to talk about the current war, veterans of our last war were camping outside to beg our government to honor its commitment to us and our allies. To demand passage of the #AfghanAdjustmentAct. Maybe Zelensky can visit with our veterans and allies camped outside. And maybe he can get President Biden to do the same. Since he still hasn’t yet. Our politicians have failed to get this done. Zelensky is a man of action. Maybe he can get it done. #WTF #SaveOurAllies It would be an amazing holiday surprise–and a winter blast of joy! Which is what the world cup final turned out to be! What a beautiful thing. That was the greatest sporting event we’ve ever seen. The quality, drama and magnitude was unprecedented. It’s been a long time since something has given so much of the world so much joy and positive excitement. And a truly incredible global moment. The most globally shared thing we’ve had on Earth in a long while. Let’s all try to keep this feeling for as long as possible.  And before we close the door on another amazing year we’ve got a special gift-wrapped Christmas classic from Rieckhoff Claus and the whole team of hard-working elves at Righteous Media. It’s one of our “‘best of the bonus” episodes featuring Jason Alexander (@IJasonAlexander). It’s content that is normally only for members of our Patreon community. But since it’s that time of year (and the elves are tired as hell) we’re dropping this gift down your chimney. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Yes, my friends, FESTIVUS is back! 

A Festivus for the rest of us. 

And so is our annual Festivus special!

With the man himself! 

The legend. The iconic actor who played George Constanza on Seinfeld–friend of this show—conscience for America—and a very proud new grandfather! The American treasure–and American icon: Jason Alexander (@IJasonAlexander)!
Every guest on this show has shaped America’s past, is impacting America’s present, and is driving America’s future. And Jason continues to help us understand ourselves, our past, and our future. A future that has a whole new perspective for him with the recent birth of his first grandchild. 
 He is of course best known for his role as George Costanza in maybe the greatest television series of all time, Seinfeld. He was nominated for seven Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. He won a Tony Award. And he’s a truly inspiring, fascinating and entertaining man. 
 He’s defined American culture and entertainment for decades. And, all the while, he’s been deeply committed to his craft—to his family—and to his country. He’s raised money for charities. He’s fought for causes and candidates. And when his sister was struck with a devastating disease, he fought for her–and for others like her facing the same terrible disease. 
 If you’ve watched him, you love him. And you may feel like you know him. But you really don’t. In this episode, you’ll learn that the man behind the characters is even more amazing. And you’ll love him, respect him, and admire him even more. Just like the last two times he’s joined us. It’s the perfect holiday conversation. For whatever holiday you celebrate.

  Tis the season, to remember all the people on the front lines this holiday. When so many are celebrating. So many are standing guard. The French remember that. It’s why 80 years later, when French president Macron comes to the US for a state visit; he meets with and thanks American veterans who were part of the greatest generation that liberated France. The Ukrainians know that now. Help will come. From America, help will come.  America is about remembering that helping others is required. And that helping is contagious. Even when America needs help ourselves. The spirit of America—and the spirit of not being the world’s police, but being a helper, being a global citizen, being a good neighbor. We must continue to set the example. From America, help will come.  And our guest this week has a unique perspective on what that means— and what all of it means. As one of the first journalists allowed to enter and report on the capture of Saddam Hussein, later covering the conflict in Gaza as well as the Arab Spring. He understands the middle east. He understands America. He understands Georgia. And his unique perspective will help shed light on the Georgia special election results, the growing American insurgency, revolution in Iran, as well as the war in Ukraine. He’s Ayman Mohyeldin (@AymanM).  Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by author, activist and social entrepreneur Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is the truth beyond the headlines–and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

  As we approach our 200th episode of this show, it’s time to take all our learning, all our allies, all our resources and focus on winning. Winning for America. And winning for America’s future.  And our conversation with our guest in this episode is a major step toward doing that.  It’s time to bring independents together.  It’s time for Americans to unite too.  And in this episode, you’re finally gonna hear from Andrew Yang (@AndrewYang). Candidate for President. Candidate for Mayor. Patriot, activist and father. And now, co-founder of the Forward party.  You’re gonna hear his plan for independents. And how he’s working to meet this moment. And in the weeks and months to come, you’ll hear from other top and rising leaders about what they’re doing to meet this moment–and specifically to unite and empower independents to protect, defend and improve our country.  But before we get to Andrew’s plan, it’s time for you to hear about mine.  As we’ve long discussed on this show, in this moment, we are at war. We are at war against enemies foreign and domestic. And we are at war for the soul of America. And if you want to win a war, you need a war plan.  Like every plan, it will change. That’s good design. It’s always evolving in response to changes on the ground. As the only saying goes, no plan will survive enemy contact. So I expect it to evolve. I expect it to adapt, improvise and overcome. It’s far from perfect. But I also learned we can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. And with stakes as high as they are in America right now, we don’t have any more time to waste. So it’s time to stop revising and editing and start executing. And in some ways, we already have been.  Independent Americans is not just a podcast. Not just a brand. It’s a movement. And every good movement needs a plan. And now, I’m ready to finally share with you mine.  I’ve talked about it a bit for the last few months. And teased a few pieces. And now, as the election is finally over, the year is almost at an end, and we reach Episode 200, my early Christmas gift to everyone is my strategy. My plan. My plan to build an Independent political infrastructure to save America. And it’s called Operation Independents.

  As we enter the holiday season, we reflect. We reflect on the good and the bad. The things we’re grateful for and the things we wish had never happened. The last bunch of years has been challenging for all of us. From the chaos of our politics, to the immeasurable losses we suffered from COVID, to the seemingly endless string of mass shootings, we’ve all been through a lot. But no one has experienced the pain we’ve all experienced more than children. They’ve been subjected to a level of uncertainty that no other group of children has had to experience. From COVID cancellations and ambiguous school policies, to social media pressure, to whatever weird stuff hasn’t hit our radar yet — the kids are not all right.  And so as many of us gather together with our families, we wanted to take some time to reflect and to get some answers and ideas on how to move forward past the trauma we’ve all just experienced. And we’ve got a returning guest that’s the perfect voice to hear from on all of it. Anya Kamenetz (@Anya1Anya) joined us in Episode 57 in May of 2020 to break down the beginnings of the pandemic’s effect on children. And now that we’ve moved past it, she’s back to share the lessons learned and what we can expect going forward. Even if you don’t have kids this is one that you probably need to hear.  From Richard Fierro, the heroic veteran who prevented the loss of many more lives in the Colorado Springs shooting, to the war in Ukraine, to Kari Lake refusing to accept the election results in Arizona — the news doesn’t quit. And neither do we. So while you cook your turkey, tofurkey or whatever else you’re eating this thanksgiving Thursday, we put together this special episode that is jam packed with the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. We hope it can warm your belly as you drive, ride, or lounge this Thanksgiving season.  Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by author, activist and social entrepreneur Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is the truth beyond the headlines–and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
