Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff

This is the real March Madness. Donald Trump has continued to disgrace America—underscored most vividly by his White House meeting with Zelensky last week. And in the tumultuous days of betrayal that have followed. And it’s been one crazy hit after another from fights with Canada to the firing of veterans nationwide. While the Democrats continue to scramble and scatter. As your newsfeed overflows, and your stomach turns, we’re here to help you prioritize, analyze and make sense of it. Cutting through the partisan chatter and cable news monotony. With a cool-headed, no BS view of all the chaos.

And a powerful guest that brings an honorable and clear voice to all of it. He’s a Navy combat veteran, former fighter pilot, former Astronaut, and senior Senator from Arizona, Mark Kelly. He’s a Democrat. But he doesn’t sound like other Democrats. And he’s hitting back hard on Elon Musk’s plan for space, Trump’s selling out of Ukraine, DOGE’s new focus on firing vets and more. Maybe most importantly, he’s a respectful and respected leader that our kids can look up. He’s also the guy our host, Paul Rieckhoff, suggested Kamala Harris pick for VP if she wanted to capture more independent voters.

And he’s finally here on Independent Americans.
