MS Now's Stephanie Ruhle is back on Independent Americans for the first time since March 2020, joining host Paul Rieckhoff to let it fly. She's candid, uninterrupted and going deep on Trump's unchecked power over the U.S. military, the runaway big business of youth sports, the affordability crisis, and why “kind is the new cool.” Paul opens with a rapid-fire rundown of Trump's Pennsylvania “affordability” speech, looming Fed rate cuts, Venezuela boat strikes and alleged war crimes, the Gang of Eight briefing, Admiral Holsey's sudden retirement, China and Russia's bomber patrols, Afghan allies left behind, and below-the-radar moves in Ukraine, Georgia, and Miami politics. Joining from Times Square, Stephanie is unplugged and talks candidly about news exhaustion, why tuning out is a dangerous privilege, and how independent and social media are reshaping how people—especially kids—stay informed. She shouts out the Pentagon press corps for refusing to sign away their independence and explains why Trump's attacks on journalists and his control of the military might be the most important story in the world. They dig into parenting in the Trump era, raising boys and a middle-school daughter amid misogyny and online cruelty, why empathy is a superpower, and how small acts—and her family tradition—can change someone's day—and your own. On youth sports, Stephanie unloads on the “insane” monetization of travel teams, showcases, and year-round club schedules that shut out working families while Paul describes what he's seeing as a youth coach watching rec sports get cannibalized. On the economy, she breaks down what Fed cuts really mean, why inflation and a K-shaped recovery are fueling anger, and how both parties are failing people at the grocery store, gas pump, and rent check—while calling out tariffs, farm aid politics, and the illusion of Trump as a populist fighter. They also go global on China's trillion-dollar trade surplus, Russia and Putin's “amazing year,” Trump's Ukraine “peace” timeline, and the risks of shifting U.S. focus away from the Pacific, before hitting Taylor and Travis, Diana Ross headlining New Year's Eve in Times Square at 81, and why Stephanie will never stand for hours in a corral without a bathroom. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

What the K-Shaped Economy Means for Your Queer Money & RetirementThis episode is brought to you by the letter K — Kiki, killer… and K-shaped economy.If it feels like some people are living in Taylor Swift box seats while you're doing math at Dollar Tree, you're not imagining it. That's the K-shaped economy in action: one line shooting straight up for the wealthy, while everyone else — including millions of LGBTQ+ folks — slides down the bottom leg.On Queer Money® episode 619, we break down what the K-shaped economy is, where it came from, how it shows up in your everyday life, and, most importantly, what you can actually do about it. From grocery bills and wage stagnation to stacked vulnerability and early retirement abroad, we connect the dots so you can respond with strategy, not panic.This isn't just “the economy.”It's your retirement, your stability, your next money move.TAKEAWAYSThe K-shaped economy describes two economies at once:one group's income, confidence, and wealth going up, while everyone else slides down.Pandemic recovery supercharged inequality: asset owners, high earners, and remote workers jumped ahead while service and frontline workers fell behind.High-income households now drive a disproportionate share of spending growth, especially on travel and luxury, while lower-income households are trading down, couponing, juggling bills, and using more credit.Groceries and essentials are taking up a bigger percent of low- and middle-income budgets, even when they're not buying dramatically more.Wage growth for low-income earners is at its slowest since 2016, while high-income wage growth is at its fastest.LGBTQ+ folks are hit harder because of stacked vulnerability: lower average pay, higher debt, less family support, more career interruptions, more discrimination.The K-shaped economy rewards assets, not effort — which is why consistent investing and debt reduction matter so much.Early retirement abroad isn't a fantasy escape; it's a rational response to lower cost of living + better healthcare + more safety in some countries.You can't fix inequality by yourself, but you canBuild an FU fundReduce high-interest debtLower fixed expensesInvest consistently (even small amounts)Think globally about where you liveTalk honestly about money with your queer communityRELATED QUEER MONEY® EPISODES TO PROMOTE“Best Places for LGBTQ+ Retirement in Portugal” (why Portugal keeps winning)“Top Cities in Italy for LGBTQ+ Retirement”“Retire in Ecuador?

In this episode, we dig into the recent scandal at Campbell's — how a high-ranking executive was secretly recorded mocking the company's own products as “food for poor people,” disparaging customers and employees, and claiming the chicken was “bioengineered.” We unpack the lawsuit filed by former employee Robert Garza, who says he was fired after reporting the comments, and examine the broader issues of corporate culture, accountability, and public trust. We also explore what this controversy reveals about class, workplace power dynamics, and consumer perceptions of food quality.This Week's Featured Hashtag#ShouldntBeBroughtBackSend a text to The Ebone Zone!

What if the routine choices parents make — the vitamin K shot, Hep B, even circumcision — aren't as straightforward as we've been told? Today I'm joined by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, one of the most controversial voices in medicine, who argues that parents are being trained, not taught, and that major risks and ingredients are routinely kept out of sight. For more than 25 years, she has challenged public-health agencies, been labeled part of the “Disinformation Dozen,” and now claims the entire system is beginning to crack. In this episode, we dive into medical transparency, the pain and impact of newborn procedures, and why more parents are questioning long-standing protocols.If this episode resonated with you, make your voice heard.

The latest edition of the retail industry's leading podcast features an in-depth conversation with Jason Buechel, CEO of Whole Foods Market and Vice President of Amazon Worldwide Grocery Stores, who shares Amazon's rapidly expanding grocery ambitions. Already surpassing $100 billion in gross sales, Amazon is leaning into grocery as a strategic category driven by frequency, loyalty, Prime stickiness, and the potential to unite all household purchasing into a seamless digital and physical ecosystem.Buechel explains how Amazon is transforming grocery shopping—a category in which consumers currently visit four to five retailers a month—into a single, unified experience. With more than 1,000 same-day grocery delivery locations today scaling to 2,300 cities, store-level innovations such as Whole Foods Daily Shop formats, and the integration of perishables directly into Amazon baskets alongside electronics or apparel, the company is erasing long-standing channel barriers. He also outlines the “one grocery” operational vision: unified supply chains, technology stacks, and customer journeys across banners, while preserving the brand trust and standards that Whole Foods customers demand.The episode opens with co-hosts Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc breaking down early holiday results. This year's hottest retail storyline, however, may be the sudden emergence of agentic AI. Tools such as Amazon's Rufus and ChatGPT are now influencing search and conversion decisions, helping fuel what the hosts dub “the most agentic Christmas yet.” With traffic gains from AI agents multiplying, the shift from traditional search to intelligent assistants is poised to accelerate dramatically in 2026.The discussion then turns to Kohl's, and the decision to name interim CEO Michael Bender to the permanent position. The hosts frame this as symptomatic of a deeper issue: a retailer with declining relevance in a shrinking total addressable market.On the heels of new quarterly earnings reports they also spotlight the theme of “profitless prosperity”—brands reporting modest sales improvements but sliding EBITDA as tariffs, promotions, and supply chain pressures erode margin—the overarching message: top-line growth is not victory unless gross profit dollars follow.The episode concludes with the remarkable rise of Google's AI game, and Sears inexplicably still operating a handful of stores (though likely not for much longer).

Grocery workers at Santa Cruz Markets in Goleta and Santa Barbara have unanimously voted to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice strike, setting the stage for a possible walkout just days before the busy Thanksgiving holiday. Union leaders say the vote is a response to what they describe as ongoing labor violations by the company, and workers are now prepared to strike if negotiations don't resume in good faith. KCSB's Emerson Good spoke with Erik Mendez, a grocery worker and member of the UFCW union about his experiences. NOTE: Since the original interview aired on November 20th, 2025, the Santa Cruz Markets reached a tentative agreement on a contract just before the Thanksgiving holiday, avoiding the strike altogether.

Thanksgiving gets a full roast this episode as we dive into the annual paradox of expressing gratitude while elbowing strangers for the last can of cranberry sauce. We swap stories about chaotic grocery runs, family traditions that include creatively vandalizing greeting cards, and the unspoken rule that certain topics are banned at dinner unless you want to watch Uncle Larry spontaneously combust. We tackle the spiritual mystery of why Thanksgiving and Black Friday sit next to each other on the calendar like a wholesome nun sharing a bunk bed with a pickpocket. There’s also talk of buffet lines, questionable food preferences, holiday decorating schedules that start before the dishes are washed, and the alarming number of Pop-Tart flavors that should not exist. Basically, it’s a lighthearted stroll through the commercialization of gratitude season, where everyone insists they’re thankful while also fighting for parking spots like it’s the Hunger Games.

Last week Fox News hosts twisted themselves into knots to justify Trump's conflicting actions and statements regarding the Epstein files, New York City's mayor-elect, and the affordability crisis.No one at the network seemed the least bit concerned that Trump gave the Saudi crown prince a lavish welcome despite his countries relationship with the terrorists who killed nearly 3,000 Americans during the September 11th attacks or the Saudi leader's personal involvement with the murder and dismemberment of a U.S.- based journalist.Fox also downplayed the results of its own poll that showed Trump's approval ratings plummeting with more Americans frustrated with how he is handling the U.S. economy.Folks at the network know their primary objective is to support the glorious leader and keep loyal viewers tuned into the nonstop outrage fantasy machine that is Fox News. If that means praising a man they have called a dangerous communist for months so be it. This is a public episode.

Black Friday is coming, and you've got two choices: get trampled at 3 a.m. for a discount air fryer, or learn how the pros actually save hundreds without the drama. Joe Saul-Sehy and Neighbor Doug kick off Black Friday week with the perfect blend of strategy and sanity. First up: Australian comedian Josh Liston tries to make sense of American Thanksgiving traditions and why we consider waking up before dawn to fight strangers over discounted electronics "normal holiday fun." Spoiler: he's not buying it. Then Regina Conway from Slick Deals drops in with the actual playbook. Regina breaks down when to shop during Black Friday week (different categories peak on different days), how to stack coupons with cashback and gift card deals for maximum savings, and why subscriptions and memberships might be the smartest budget-friendly gifts you're not considering. She also reveals how the Slick Deals community spots hidden bargains before they disappear—and how you can do the same. But here's where it gets real: Joe, Doug, and Josh tackle Buy Now Pay Later schemes like Affirm and Klarna. They're everywhere this season, and they're tempting. They're also the financial equivalent of eating Halloween candy for breakfast—feels great in the moment, regrettable by lunch. You'll learn exactly when these services make sense (rare) and when they're just a trap disguised as convenience. Whether you're hunting deals or trying to avoid holiday debt, this episode is your survival guide for coming out ahead. What You'll Walk Away With: • Regina Conway's insider strategy for when to shop during Black Friday week (hint: timing matters more than you think) • How to stack coupons, cashback offers, and gift card deals to maximize every purchase • Why subscriptions and memberships make surprisingly smart (and budget-friendly) holiday gifts • Grocery hacks that actually save money during the most expensive shopping weeks of the year • The truth about Buy Now Pay Later—when it's useful and when it's just expensive debt with good marketing • How community-powered deal sites like Slick Deals help you find and vet bargains before they vanish • Smart strategies to enjoy the holidays without the January credit card hangover This Episode Is For You If: • You want Black Friday deals without the 3 a.m. wake-up call or the crowds • You're trying to save money this season but feel overwhelmed by all the "deals" • You've been tempted by Buy Now Pay Later but aren't sure if it's smart or stupid • You want to give great gifts without blowing your budget (or your sanity) • You believe there's a smarter way to shop than fighting strangers for discounted TVs What's Your Black Friday Strategy? Are you a doorbuster warrior, an online deal hunter, or someone who avoids the whole thing? Drop your approach in the comments—and if you've got a Black Friday horror story (or victory), the basement wants to hear it.
