Has Trump Jumped the Shark? MTG & Ro Khanna Talk About A Third Party. Reps Swalwell AND Gonzales Resign. Rock & Roll HOF. WNBA, NFL & Military Draft.
In this explosive episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff sits down with the great and powerful Michael Steele—former RNC Chairman and Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and cohost of MS NOW’s The Weeknight airing weekdays at 7pm ET—for a raw, unfiltered debrief on the current state of the American duopoly. Steele doesn’t hold back, detailing why he believes the Republican Party is currently racing toward a "fucking cliff" and what it actually takes to maintain integrity when your political home has abandoned its foundational principles. From his personal history as a fencer to his perspective as the first African American leader of the RNC, Steele provides a masterclass in political realism and the urgent need for a viable third-party movement in America.
Beyond the political crossfire, this episode drills down into the critical national security stories the mainstream media is missing. We cover the escalating blockade in Iran being enforced by 10,000 U.S. service members, the "geopolitical victim-shaming" of Ukraine, and the stunning technological innovations of robotic warfare on the front lines. We also tackle the bizarre cultural moment—from Trump’s "Jesus" posts to the Wu-Tang Clan’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s a high-octane mix of culture, security, and independent politics designed to help you slice through the noise and stay vigilant.
