Live from the massive “No Kings” protests in New York City, Iraq War veteran and Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff takes you into the streets as Americans of all ages and backgrounds say “hell no” to forever wars and unchecked presidential power. From the unpopular war in Iran to Trump’s threats against Ecuador and Cuba, Paul explains why this feels like a tipping point—and why more veterans, independents, conservatives, and liberals are uniting than we’ve seen in years.

He also breaks down bombshell reporting about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly blocking Black and female officers from promotion, and what it reveals about politics infecting the Pentagon. This is what modern patriotism looks like: people standing up, speaking out, and paying the price of freedom with their vigilance. Watch, listen, and share if you’re tired of being ignored by both parties and ready for real accountability.
