This week we took a hard look at Canada’s Mark Carney. Competent, well-spoken, yet quietly running a neoliberal playbook. Then we checked Trump’s approval numbers, where even Republicans are starting to feel the gas prices, though 84% are still on board, which is somehow both unsurprising and completely bonkers.

Congress Adds $1B for Trump's Ballroom! What About the Deficit!?! Secret Service Shoots Gunman Near Wash Monument. Steve Kerr for Governor of California? RIP John Sterling—The Golden Pipes.  Trump told Congress the war in Iran was terminated. Days later, U.S. forces are still being attacked, gas is averaging $4.48 a gallon, the trade deficit just hit $60.3 billion, and Senate Republicans quietly slipped $1 billion for a White House ballroom into an immigration bill. In episode 513 of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff delivers a quick-blast solo briefing on the gap between what Trump says and what's actually happening on the ground — from the so-called Iran ceasefire, to a forever war now spanning eight countries, to a Secret Service shootout at the Washington Monument that barely registered as news. From there, it's a quick turn to the politics and the people who could actually break the rigged two-party stranglehold. He breaks down California's crowded, deeply unpopular gubernatorial field and floats a serious idea: Steve Kerr — Hall of Fame coach, voice of reason on guns, Iran, and ICE — running as an independent. And we pour one out for legendary Yankees announcer John Sterling. May his memory be a blessing and a reminder that hope is still the oxygen of our democracy.  -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Trump Pulls 5k Troops Out of Germany. We Are  Not Pirates. DHS Shutdown Finally Ends. More Bad Days for Hegseth. Ballroom & Arch Unpopular w/ Independents. Kids Save School Bus.  It's Manosphere Monday, May the 4th — International Firefighters Day, Star Wars Day, and Episode 512 of Independent Americans. Paul flies solo to break down a weekend where the fires Trump started are still burning. US warships and Apache gunships shot down Iranian missiles and drones and sank six Iranian speedboats in the Strait of Hormuz, blowing apart the four-week truce Trump called peace. He's already lining up the next match at Cuba ("we will be taking over almost immediately"), bragging that American troops are "like pirates," and yanking 5,000 troops out of Germany — including the bases that house European Command, Ramstein, and Landstuhl, the hospital every wounded American passes through. Putin is sending thank-you notes. The artist of the day is the Prodigy, because the firestarter is in the Oval. Then Paul digs into the cracks: Pete Hegseth getting fried by Republican Joni Ernst and Democrat Elise Slotkin in back-to-back hearings, Trump's net worth tripling to $6.5 billion while gas hits $4.25, brutal new polling showing Americans hate the arch and the signature-on-the-money stunt across every party line, the quiet withdrawal of Casey Means as Surgeon General nominee, and Chairman Dan Caine confirming Russia is actively helping Iran kill Americans. Plus: Heisman winner and Raiders rookie Fernando Mendoza artfully passing on a White House visit, a stacked second round in the NBA and NHL, and a busload of Mississippi middle schoolers who saved themselves and their driver when she blacked out behind the wheel. Be a firefighter. Be a Jedi. Stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Ditch your expensive carrier and support Independent Americans!

Strait of Hormuz tensions spike gas prices by 50% as the U.S. blockade against Iran enters another phase. The White House ramping up efforts to secure global energy supplies with the 'Project Freedom' initiative, a plan that has the United States Military escorting commercial ships through the Strait. FOX News Chief Political Anchor and Host of Special Report, Bret Baier joins the Rundown to discuss "Project Freedom," the race against the clock for the Trump administration ahead of the midterms, and his new book, The Case for America. Meta is playing hardball in a landmark legal battle that could redefine social media access in America. As New Mexico seeks to declare the company a "public nuisance" and demands safety overhauls—Meta has threatened to pull its platforms from the state entirely. Tech expert Kurt "The CyberGuy" Knutsson joins the Rundown to discuss whether this option is a legitimate technical move or just something that's aimed at rattling lawmakers.   PLUS, commentary by Jonathan Alpert, psychotherapist in New York City and Washington, D.C.

Trump drags fake news hack Jonathan Karl for lying about the President calling him after the correspondents dinner.   

Donald Trump has launched a new operation, which he called ‘Project Freedom', to try to open the strait of Hormuz.

In March, around 200,000 immigrants began losing their commercial driver's licenses, which are required to operate large vehicles like semi-trucks, buses and tractor-trailers. It's part of a series of moves by the Trump administration to limit who can drive those vehicles after some high-profile truck crashes involving foreign-born drivers. Lisa Desjardins reports.

Guest host Joe Cirincione talks with Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA), a new member of Congress sworn in last September to fill the late Rep. Gerry Connolly's seat, about his work on Oversight and Homeland Security. Walkinshaw says DOJ remains out of compliance with the Oversight subpoena for Epstein files and is violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act through illegal redactions; he wants answers from former Attorney General Pam Bondi about who ordered the redactions and any White House involvement, noting Committee Chair Comer chose a transcribed interview rather than a deposition. He also outlines Oversight inquiries into alleged DHS misconduct by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski. Walkinshaw argues accountability and affordability are linked, condemns Trump's Iran war as unconstitutional under the War Powers Act, and warns a Supreme Court Voting Rights Act ruling could spur aggressive partisan redistricting and retaliation by Blue states.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

   President Trump hosted a small business event at the White House Monday and one of the businesses featured was Slap's BBQ in KCK.  Joe Pearce, the owner, was there with staff.  The president was a little bit interested in the various sauces but mostly just asked the Slap's boys if Patrick Mahomes was going to be ok and start the season in week one.  This is so good.    A national hotel association says World Cup bookings are a disaster nationwide and KC is the worst of the worst.  Not only are 650k people not coming to KC... regular summer visitors are AVOIDING KC because of the World Cup.  Dang, if only a local podcaster could have warned officials this would happen.    A pair of drivers at Central Bank in Sugar Creek got quite a scare when the roof collapsed above them.    The Royals beat the Guardians with another great looking game, 6-2,  and have now won 8 out of 10.    The Chiefs sign 3 players out of 108 that tried out at Rookie Mini Camp... all at positions of need.  The Dallas Cowboys take an off season wedding photo for the ages and Stephen A Smith welcomes back an old partner this week at ESPN.

Of 11,103 new cars registered, 10,952 were fully electric, with diesel managing just 87 units and petrol a mere 31 units — making combustion-engine sales little more than a rounding error.TESLA CUTS MODEL 3 PRICES IN CANADATesla has slashed prices across its Canadian Model 3 line-up, introducing a new entry Premium RWD trim starting at C$39,490 — about 31% cheaper than the equivalent US price — after shifting production from its Fremont plant to its Shanghai factory to take advantage of Canada's new 6.1% Chinese-EV import tariff. The line-up now has just two trims after removing the Long Range mid-range, though Shanghai-built cars do not qualify for Canada's federal EVAP rebate of up to C$5,000.FACTORIAL BETS SOLID-STATE CAN BREAK CHINA'S LEADFactorial Energy, a Massachusetts-based startup backed by Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Hyundai/Kia, argues that solid-state batteries — which charge from 15% to 90% in 18 minutes and offer 20–50% more range than lithium-ion — are the West's best chance to leapfrog Chinese rivals rather than imitate them. The company plans to go public on Nasdaq in mid-2026 via a SPAC merger, and a Mercedes-Benz EQS prototype fitted with its cells drove 1,205 km non-stop in August 2025.IONIQ 5 SALES HOLD UP AFTER US TAX CREDIT LOSSHyundai's IONIQ 5 held fifth place among US EV sellers in 2025 despite losing the federal EV tax credit, while rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E saw sales collapse 60% year-on-year in Q1 2026. Domestic production at Hyundai Metaplant America in Savannah, Georgia was credited as a key factor in shielding the IONIQ 5 from the impact of Trump administration trade policy changes.VOLKSWAGEN RAISES RIVIAN STAKE TO 15.9%Volkswagen has lifted its stake in Rivian to 15.9% after completing a further $1 billion investment tranche, triggered by the RV Tech joint venture clearing its winter testing milestones, bringing its total investment to $3 billion of a committed $5.8 billion. Volkswagen gains access to Rivian's software stack and zonal architecture, while Rivian retains full ownership of its motors, batteries, chassis, and autonomy framework.VW TESTS 'GAMECHANGER' AT WOLFSBURGVolkswagen has launched a pilot production process codenamed Gamechanger at its Wolfsburg headquarters, aimed at cutting costs and enabling profitable EV manufacturing in Germany through techniques expected to include megacasting and parallel modular assembly streams. The plant is expected to eventually produce an electric Golf and an SUV counterpart on the next-generation SSP platform, potentially under the names ID. Golf and ID. Roc.TESLA LAUNCHES BASECHARGER FOR SEMI DEPOTSTesla has unveiled the Basecharger, a depot-focused DC fast charger for the Tesla Semi that tops out at 125 kW and can charge a truck from low to 60% in around four hours, using a 6-metre cable to accommodate yard layouts. The unit starts at $20,000, supports the open MCS (Megawatt Charging System) standard, and up to three units can share a single breaker — potentially serving future MCS-compatible trucks from Daimler, Volvo, and Scania.MFG EV POWER ADDS PLUG&CHARGEMotor Fuel Group has integrated its MFG EV Power network of around 2,000 rapid and ultra-rapid UK charging points with Hubject's Plug&Charge infrastructure, going live on 1 May 2026 after over a year of technical development.

Two months in, $25 billion spent, more than a dozen Americans dead, gas at 4.30 a gallon — and now Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump want to change the subject from Iran to Cuba. This is the forever war machine in real time: shift the target, claim the win, drag allies along, and hope the country doesn't notice. The angry middle is noticing. And they don't feel safer. Pete Hegseth is on the ropes, and the political class is finally asking the questions that should have been asked two months and 25 billion dollars ago. In this solo briefing, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down why the Secretary of Defense keeps comparing Iran to Venezuela — because he wants you to think it was a win — and why the next target on the board is Cuba. The polling hasn't moved. Americans don't support this war. Wars don't get more popular over time, and the man running this one served in one that proved it. This is a no-BS look at how the forever war machine drives away our allies, threatens the bases in Germany and Italy that have kept America secure for generations, and leaves the homeland exposed to domestic terrorism while DHS sits shuttered. Paul lays out the math that actually matters in 2026: 27 percent Republican, 27 percent Democrat, 45 percent independent — and 60 percent of young people unaffiliated. The future is none of the above. From Graham Platner's open field against Susan Collins in Maine to gas at 4.30 a gallon, the angry middle is the battlefield, and this episode is the briefing on how to read it. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Ditch your expensive carrier and support Independent Americans!

President Trump announcing the U.S. will be escorting commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. The new initiative is called “Project Freedom,” with the President saying countries around the world asked the U.S. for help freeing ships that have been “locked up” despite being “neutral and innocent bystanders” in the conflict. Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, says the U.S. blockade is tightening around Iran, with nearly 50 vessels being redirected, dozens of ships being damaged by Iranian attacks, and about 20,000 sailors remain stuck in the region. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Jennifer Griffin, Chief National Security correspondent for FOX News Channel, who lays out the details of 'Project Freedom', and the latest state of the blockade.

Four years ago, Republicans stood on the floor of Congress and told the American people that the FBI used FISA - this secret surveillance court - to spy on Donald Trump. They were right. Kevin Clinesmith doctored evidence to keep the Carter Page warrant alive. The whole thing was a setup. And this week, those same Republicans voted to hand that exact same unreformed tool back to the FBI for three more years. No warrant requirement. No new safeguards. Nothing. I want to talk about why that happened, what's inside the classified court opinion that a sitting senator just forced into the open, and why, regardless of which party you voted for - your texts may already be in this database.SPONSOR: Lear CapitalWith gold and silver hitting all-time highs and forecasts pointing higher, Lear Capital is helping people protect their wealth with physical precious metals.

Last week, four judges, all nominated for lifetime appointments, when asked who won the 2020 election, refused to say the truth that Biden won. Last night, a Republican candidate for governor in California did the same. It would be as if they were asked what 2 + 2 equals, and they couldn't say 4. This is Trump's legacy. And so many Americans let Trump get away with it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Could quantum computing power the mark of the beast? Trump pulls troops from Germany and decouples from NATO as Europe rises, King Charles pushes interfaith globalism, Pope Leo XIV builds Christian-Islamic bridges, France to host a major Israel two-state summit, and the Iran war simmers.

The guy who wrote the bogus intel assessments that Russia was interfering in 2016 and 2020 and helped lead to the first impeachment of Trump is identified... and he really hopes you're not interested in learning more about him. JustTheNews does some digging and finds the entire case against Trump was laughably weak. Spirit Airlines shuts down, stranding thousands of travelers and putting 17,000 people out of work. Why Biden/Buttgieg/Warren helped the airline fail through their poor policies.  

The left tries to dismiss the DOJ's case against former FBI director James Comey by saying an Instagram post won't be enough to convince a jury Comey was suggesting the assassination of President Trump. Todd Blanche bodies Kristen Welker and shared some background in the case that he says the DOJ is ready to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. The UFO Files seem closer to release... listen to Dan Aykroyd share his stories of FOUR alien encounters.    

With Iran losing a half billion dollars every day from the US blockade of the Hormuz Strait, President Trump offers US protection to guide stranded ships frozen in the Strait to safety. Trump also withdraws US troops from Germany as he looks to shrink US presence in Europe and NATO is paying close attention. Providing safe passage through the Persian Gulf will dramatically affect oil prices.  

Andreas Steno Larsen and Mikkel Rosenvold are back to break down the latest shifts in global markets, starting with fresh developments in the Strait of Hormuz, then they turn to the inflation outlook, and they tackle the AI narrative, asking whether the surge in capex and demand from mega-cap tech signals a bubble, as markets continue to climb despite widespread skepticism.

Sweeping changes are coming for the U.S. Forest Service, which manages roughly a third of America's public land. The agency announced a dramatic overhaul of cuts, closures and consolidation.

Miroslav Volf is back, and this time he brought his friend — poet and theologian Christian Wiman — and their book Glimmerings, collection of letters exchanged over years of friendship that moves from the problem of religious language to the hiddenness of God to what it means to trust without being able to specify what you're trusting toward. It's one of the more unusual and quietly devastating books I've read in a while, and the conversation was every bit as good. In it we discuss...

Wright Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School and founder of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture.
