He Is So Racist. Noem Perjury Charges? 6 More American KIA Identified. Cuba's Electrical Grid Collapses. Rep Andy Ogles is a Hateful Bigot. Stars and Stripes the Latest Target. Oscars & March Madness. Donald Trump is a runaway train, and we're all along for the ride. In this urgent solo “Manosphere Monday” briefing, Paul Rieckhoff rips into Week Three of Trump's war in Iran, the total blackout in Cuba, and a stunning failure of imagination from both parties and much of the media as casualties mount and forever war becomes the plan, not the exception. From the lonely circuit breaker role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, to the growing cyber battlefield where the lights go out before the bombs drop, Paul breaks down how Trump is going “all gas, no brakes,” why allies still matter, and how the human cost of this war is already immeasurable for Gold Star and surviving families here at home. He calls out the politicians cashing in on conflict, the Congressmen openly attacking Muslim Americans, and the Pentagon and Wall Street players treating war like one more business opportunity. But this episode isn't just about outrage, it's about action—and about redefining what real leadership and real manhood look like in a dangerous time. Paul spotlights the quiet courage of our allies, the sacrifice of fallen service members, and the inspiration of America's Paralympic sled hockey gold-medal run, alongside cultural flashpoints from the Oscars to the World Baseball Classic and March Madness. He draws a sharp contrast between Trump's war on the press and the work of truth-tellers like Stars and Stripes, Ukrainian filmmakers, and independent journalists risking everything to stand up to Putin and authoritarianism. If you're one of the 45% of Americans who now identify as independent—or independent-curious—and you're looking for straight talk, hard questions, and a plan to fight back against extremism from all sides, this is your show.

War reveals who people are—the best of us and the worst of us. In this special episode, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff takes you inside his fiery appearance on MSNBC's Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace, sounding the alarm about Trump's reckless march toward war with Iran, the extremism driving today's culture wars, and the urgent need for real leadership and accountability. Fresh off hits on NewsNation and Stephen Colbert, he explains why this could actually be one of the most unifying moments in recent American history—even as the drumbeats of war grow louder in the Middle East and chaos spreads at home, with opposition to a new war in Iran rising from NFL legends like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed to conservatives like Newt Gingrich and unlikely critics like Megyn Kelly and Steve Bannon. Rieckhoff digs into how Trump and his allies have crossed into every part of American culture—sports, entertainment, even Spongebob—and why the backlash matters, from the growing popularity of opposing ICE to a broad public rejection of another Middle East war and the central role of independents—now roughly 45% of the country—in defending core American values. He goes deep on the stakes for veterans and military families, including alarming new moves by the VA to put homeless veterans under guardianship and a broader effort to turn the Pentagon into the tip of the spear for an extreme culture war—from banning books and rolling back women's rights to pushing Christian nationalism—calling it the most dangerous course for America's future and a test for politicians, retired generals, civic leaders, and every independent American -WATCH full video of this episode here. -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. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

American caskets are coming home again. In this fierce, fiery Friday episode, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the escalating “Iran overflow” war, the KC‑135 crash that killed six American service members, the growing drumbeat of troop movements into the Middle East, and the total failure of Congress to do its job on questions of war and peace. He calls out Trump's illegal “no quarter” rhetoric, Pete Hegseth's authoritarian war on the press, ICE's abuses at home, and the dangerous normalization of UFC “Freedom Fights 250” on the White House lawn—while reminding listeners why if you're not angry, you're not paying attention. Then Medal of Freedom recipient, Air Force veteran, and TAPS founder Bonnie Carroll returns to go deeper on what really happens when someone is killed in action, in training, in terror attacks at home—or lost to suicide. Paul and Bonnie unpack the brutal realities of casualty notifications, the lifelong journey for surviving families, and the heroic work TAPS is doing right now for the loved ones of those lost in Iran, Iraq, Old Dominion, Michigan, and beyond—and how you can help.

Trump Endorses Jake Paul. VA Wants to Institutionalize Homeless Vets. The Loud X Minority. We Need An Indy to Run vs Fetterman. Italy Wins, Saves USA. Trump's Iran war is spiraling, controversy is overflowing, the world is in chaos, enemies are celebrating, the VA is quietly grabbing new power over homeless vets, and John Fetterman is MIA on a horrific school strike in Iran—so Paul fires up the mic for a solo episode that pulls no punches and looks around the corner at what's coming next. From Iran to California drone threats, from outrageous “war slop” videos out of the White House to the FBI playing fanboy with UFC fighters at Quantico, this episode is a rapid-fire briefing for independent Americans who refuse to drink the bullshit both parties are serving. Paul breaks down why most Americans are not as divided as the algorithms want you to believe, why independents (especially in Pennsylvania and South Carolina) are the real sleeping giant, and how celebrity, culture, sports and even the Paralympics are being weaponized in this new era of global conflict. He closes with a powerful, emotional story of a high school hockey player who turned unimaginable loss into a double-overtime miracle—and a reminder that heroism, community and hope are still out there if you know where to look. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -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. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Iran War Opposed by Most Americans. Senator Ron Johnson Hates Vets. Dr Dre is a Billionaire. USA Sled Hockey Rocks. Trump's deeply unpopular war in Iran is escalating, US troops are being wounded in large numbers, and the war on the truth is raging—so Paul Rieckhoff is back with a fast, fiery solo episode to help you cut through the chaos, fueled by G. Love & Special Sauce and fresh off a big night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. From new reporting on undisclosed American casualties and oil shocks in the Strait of Hormuz to Trump's all‑gas‑no‑brakes foreign policy and a Congress with “no plan to stop him,” Paul breaks down what's really happening, why it feels like Iraq all over again, and what eternal vigilance looks like for you right now. He digs into Trump's forever war, the overextended US military, and the historic unpopularity of the Iran conflict—less support than Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan—while calling out senators who act more like pundits than leaders and demanding a real plan to constrain presidential war powers. Along the way he blasts Senator Ron Johnson for blocking the bipartisan Richard Starr Act that would ensure wounded combat veterans get both the disability and retirement pay they've earned, pulls back the curtain on his latest Colbert appearance and his push to draft Stephen to run as an independent against Lindsey Graham, spotlights Independent Veterans of America, and still finds room for joy—from USA sled hockey's Paralympic dominance and the World Baseball Classic to Dr. Dre's long‑awaited billionaire status and what the “year of the billionaire” says about America now. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -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. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Rogan & Bannon Question Iran. Ignorant Outrage Over Troops Steak & Lobster. Hegseth to Approve All Hegseth Photos. Drones: “The Factory is the Weapon”. Ray Lewis Mad. Italy Stuns US. Adebayo's 83! On this Wartime Wednesday episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff takes you inside the rapidly escalating war in Iran, what it really means for troops and families, and why 76% of Americans now oppose it. From a deadly U.S. strike on an Iranian school and new Pentagon revelations, to drone warfare, Cyber Command leadership, the Strait of Hormuz, and the viral Heath “lobster and steak” for Troops outrage, Paul breaks down the stories everyone should be tracking—but most news and politics shows are missing. Because we didn't just start covering national security and war when the war with Iran started. We focus on it always. And this is one of the few shows out there hosted by a combat veteran who gets it. You'll also hear about wounded soldiers returning from the Middle East and speaking out, why cheap drones are the top threat of this war, and how America is still not ready enough at home or abroad. Paul hits veterans' benefits battles in Congress, the candidacy of retired General Sean Harris in Marjorie Taylor Greene's open Congressional seat in Georgia, and why independents remain the needle in American politics—plus culture and sports updates from Miley's Hannah Montana return to the World Baseball Classic, the USA at the Paralympics, and NFL legends Ed Reed and Ray Lewis pushing back on Trump's war propaganda. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -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. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Rieckhoff on Colbert Tonight! Trump's Iran war is escalating, American troops and civilians are dying, and the truth is already becoming the first casualty—again. In this all-new solo episode 460 of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down why the conflict feels like Vietnam all over again, what U.S. intelligence is really saying about regime change, and why American flag-draped caskets coming home must never be normalized. From a horrific school bombing in Iran to drone terror in Ukraine and rising ISIS-inspired threats in New York City, he connects the front lines overseas to the streets where you live, while calling out chicken hawks, failed leadership, and the propaganda pouring out of Trump's White House. Paul also spotlights the leaders and movements actually rising to the moment—from retired Admiral Mike Mullen and independent journalist Scott MacFarlane to emerging independent candidates like veteran Seth Bodnar in Montana. He honors anti-war legend Country Joe McDonald, amplifies NFL great Ed Reed's rejection of White House war hype, and previews his appearance with Stephen Colbert—inviting new listeners into a growing, hopeful independent movement that puts country over party, people over politics, and light over heat. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -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. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Independent Americans host and Iraq War veteran Paul Rieckhoff takes you behind the scenes of his fiery CNN Newsroom clash with former Congressman and fellow Iraq vet Peter Meijer over President Trump's escalating Iran strategy and the deadly strike on an Iranian school that killed scores of children and teachers. In this raw, real-time debrief, Rieckhoff explains why Trump's rush to blame Iran despite independent analysis suggesting U.S. responsibility shreds American credibility, feels like “deja vu all over again” for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, and risks dragging America into another open-ended Middle East war most Americans do not want. He breaks down Trump's “all gas, no brakes” approach—from regime-change talk and operations in at least eight countries in a year without real debate or authorization, to juvenile White House war memes that trivialize the very real costs for U.S. troops and civilians across the region—while slamming both parties in Congress, including Democrats like Senator Richard Blumenthal, for failing to enforce the War Powers Act or put real guardrails on the commander in chief. Drawing sharp lessons from Iraq's 20-year quagmire, Rieckhoff warns Iran could be even more dangerous and costly if we don't learn from history—and makes the case that Americans must demand transparency, real debate and actual votes before war, now more than ever. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -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. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

When Donald Trump launches a war on Iran, hits a whole new country in Ecuador, talks openly about striking Cuba next—and Congress can't even be bothered to interrupt its weekend to hold an emergency session—you know America has a serious problem. In this all–new episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff takes you inside his fiery appearance on MSNBC's Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace, where he confronts Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal and calls out a weak, failed Congress that is “not even a speed bump” to Trump's most dangerous impulses. Rieckhoff asks the question every American should be asking our so–called leaders right now: What are you going to do about it? He lays out how Trump can effectively do anything he wants with the most powerful military in the world, why the Iran War Powers vote is coming days after the war already started, how six American service members were killed while Congress dithered, and why both parties deserve blame for letting this runaway train barrel toward boots on the ground. From the risks of a wider regional war to the hard truth that “being sad and angry is not a course of action,” this episode is a clear, independent, unapologetically patriotic call for accountability and a real plan B. If you're tired of tweets, cable hits, and empty outrage—and you want straight talk, deeper context, and concrete ways to push your representatives to finally do their jobs—this is your briefing. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -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. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Noem is Out. Chickenhawk Mullin is In—and Very, Very Dumb. House Blocks War Powers Act. Unemployment, Gas Prices Spike. Mich St Honors Pearl Harbor Vet. Paul Rieckhoff sits down with former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Air National Guard combat veteran and star of the new film "The Last Republican," now on YouTube. They dive deep into the escalating Iran war—with no clear endgame, potential boots on the ground, civilian casualties including a possible U.S. strike on an Iranian girls' school, and Congress failing to check Trump's power via War Powers resolutions. Kinzinger warns Trump may get bored and abandon the mess, analyzes threats like ICE under new head Markwayne Mullin, Cuba invasion risks, drone dangers at home, GOP corruption, and the urgent need for a pro-democracy coalition. He discusses his future (hint: considering independence), Ukraine's aid offers, and why Democrats must fight harder now.

Iran is Not a Football Game, Hegseth. Barron ‘Too Tall to Serve'? American Troops KIA Identified. Another Primary Screws Independents. Indy Vet Bodnar Declares for Senate in Montana. Trump has struck nine foreign countries in the past year and just opened a new front in Ecuador—while thousands of Americans remain stranded near Iran with no clear evacuation plan. From Times Square after sparring with Democrat Senator Blumenthal on MSNow, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff blasts a Congress acting more like “mall cops” than a check on Trump's runaway war powers. In this quick‑fire solo pod, Paul unpacks the escalating Iran conflict, honors fallen troops by name, and exposes a bipartisan “Chickenhawk Club” eager to send others to fight while keeping their own families safe. He also breaks down how Trump's team has left bases worldwide on edge, why the Pentagon is scrambling for munitions, and how Washington still lacks a plan for the new generation of veterans it's creating. Plus, Paul dives into America's broken primary system, key Texas primary shifts, and a surge of independent veteran candidates like Montana's Seth Bodner proving that independents are the needle. And for some balance after the battle talk, he hits sports and culture—from the World Baseball Classic and Paralympics to the Oscar‑nominated short Armed Only with a Camera, honoring journalist Brent Renaud and those who show the real cost of war. -WATCH full video of this episode here.

Does The War Press Coverage Already Suck? With Barbara Starr. Markets Plummet. US Pilot Shows How Awesome Our Women Warriors Are. The 2026 Chickenhawk Club. Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Trump's fast‑escalating war with Iran, the rise of deadly drone warfare, and what it all means for American troops, families, and civilians worldwide. Then, regular guest and legendary CNN Pentagon reporter Barbara Starr joins Paul to cut through the chaos, dissect the Pentagon's long‑delayed press briefings, and explain why “air power alone” won't deliver victory in Iran—or anywhere else. From unprotected American troops killed in a makeshift Kuwaiti trailer, to embassies under threat and chaotic evacuation warnings, this episode exposes how badly Washington has prepared for the conflicts it helped ignite.

In this episode, I speak with Matt about his work with veterans, PTSD and his research on AI's ability to diagnose mental health disorders. Matt explained that he got into the field of psychotherapy after being a patient, working through his own issues after being in the Marines. He found the process very helpful and went on to become a therapist and initially worked with unhoused populations, psychosis and gang young, but wanted to go into working with veterans and first responders, treating PTSD. He shared that he never intended to go into research, but after doing his dissertation, he thought he might as well publish it, and then was invited to be part of a research group. Matt shared that most of the treatment for veterans is provided by the Veteran's Administration, although they did not hire clinicians with his licensure. He explained that he was fortunate to get connected with an organization called the Head Strong Project that provides services to active duty military and veterans addressing PTSD and suicide prevention. He said that many of his clients often have a history of trauma, in addition to their experience in the military, as well as around 50% of his clients also have comorbid ADHD. Matt discusses the three major evidence based approaches to treating trauma: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy, & Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing. He shares how the dropout rate for PE is 40% and EMDR is not always successful, which might be due to the eye movements and that not being as effective with those in the military, although he doesn't know any research backing that up. Matt explained that he uses CPT and in the approach, the focus is on beliefs or what they refer to as “stuck points”. There may be assimilated “stuck points" that the person has taken from the traumatic experience and over accommodated "stuck points”< which are things that the person now believes and has adjusted their thinking patters as a result of the trauma. He explains the treatment starts off with psycheducation and teaching coping skills, then addressing the “stuck points”. He explained that they help the clients break down thinking patterns from events, then usechallenging questions, identify cognitive distortions, use cognitive reframing, and put this all together into a challenging questions worksheet. He shared that once you have that framework in place, then you follow up on five themes which include: Safety, Trust, Power & Control, Esteem, and Intimacy, then work through stuck points in each of those areas. Finally, you work through the traumatic narrative and what you believed before and what you believe now. We discussed the five themes and how particularly discussed an intervention called the Trust Star, where the person picks aspects of someone's personality, and rates how that leads them to be more trusting of them or less. The breaks out of the all or none thinking around trust. Lastly, we discuss Matt's research into linguistic patterns in different DMS disorders throughout the various editions of the DSM. He also discusses his work group's research into having AI review vignettes and try to arrive at a diagnosis. He reported that Chat GPT did worse than chance, Claude was about as good as chance, and Gemini had a 97% rate of accuracy. We discuss AI and its use related to therapy. Matt Rensi, Ph.D., LPCC, is a licensed counselor in California, Oregon, and Idaho. He holds a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, often teaching at various universities. He currently works primarily with law enforcement, veterans, firefighters, and active duty military personnel. His primary focuses are PTSD, substance use, ADHD, marital or couples issues, and anything that may be associated with that cluster of struggles. Matt conducts research on various topics as part of an independent research team. He is a clinical partner with The Headstrong Project and the SOF Network. Matt is also a clinician at the Institute for the Advancement of Psychotherapy and its specialty center, the Bay Area Center for ADHD.

In this episode we speak with The Headstrong Project (https://theheadstrongproject.org), a local non-profit whose mission is to provide active-duty military service members and veterans with mental health services and resources as they deal with trauma. Dr. Amy Williams (https://theheadstrongproject.org/our-team/dr-amy-m-williams/) is the group's Chief Clinical Officer, and Tony Liles (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-j-liles/) is a veteran and mental health advocate helping connect other veterans with the group and take advantage of their services. Both are trying to remove the stigma surrounding talking about mental health issues in the military, specifically trauma, and normalize speaking about it openly and getting help when it's needed. We discuss the varying forms of trauma, what PTSD looks like, how to spot signs of PTSD, how to find help, and specifically what resources and support are provided by The Headstrong Project. It's a very vulnerable, honest, emotional, and needed conversation and we were honored to have it. There is truly a mental health crisis across the country among those who have served our country, and they deserve acceptance and support from the other members of a grateful nation. If you or someone you care about is currently serving in the military or are veterans and need help working through trauma and PTSD, please connect them with The Headstrong Project at theheadstrongproject.org (https://theheadstrongproject.org).

In honor of National Veterans and Military Families Month, today's episode examines life after serving in the military as told by two veterans. We invited Aaron Gladd, chief of staff of the State University of New York and former platoon leader in the US Army, and Colonel Jim McDonough, CEO of The Headstrong Project and former director of New York State's Division of Veterans' Services, to share their experiences joining, serving, and transitioning out of the military. They describe the challenges many veterans face moving back into civilian life and discuss how communities and non-profits are working to fill the gaps in veterans' services left by local, state, and federal governments.
Jim McDonough spent 26 years in the United States Army and retired as a Colonel. Jim was originally commissioned as an Air Defense Artillery Officer upon graduation from Officer Candidate School, Class 1-82 on March 11th, 1982. He had combat deployments in both the Gulf War and the invasion in Iraq. In Jim's post military career, he was the Chief Executive Officer of the Veteran's Outreach Center and he is currently the CEO of The Headstrong Project, one of the most notable veteran organizations around. theheadstrongproject.org Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors at www.hazardground.com/sponsors Shop Amazon!
