Congressman Ro Khanna is back at a critical moment—and he’s bringing receipts, strategy and a plan. From Trump’s expanding and unpopular war in Iran, to the threat of new wars in Cuba and beyond, Ro joins host Paul Rieckhoff to lay out how Congress can actually stop a runaway commander in chief—using the War Powers Act, the power of the purse, and even impeachment. They dig into the stakes for troops on the ground, the real cost of war for a new generation of veterans, and why both parties are failing to meet the moment as gas prices spike, markets wobble, and the forever‑war machine spins up again.

They talk ICE overreach, starving kids in Cuba under a fuel blockade, the Creator’s Bill of Rights for independent media, and whether Ro Khanna and Tom Massie should leave their parties and run as independents. It’s a fired‑up, hopeful conversation about Artemis, public service, and why courage—not party loyalty—is the new charisma
