Sami and Paul also focus on the historic victories by two Democrat women vets for Governor: Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, the failures of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the impact of independent voters, and two things that are really good to end a chaotic time.

Congress is shut down. War drums are beating on the Venezuela coast. Federal workers and troops are on the brink, and democracy is on the ropes. Happy Halloween! Ugh. It's many more tricks than treats this year. For that—and this Football Friday—your host Paul Rieckhoff welcomes a guest right at the center of the storm: Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna (CA-17), a powerful leader at the intersection of American politics and Silicon Valley innovation. He represents the home of tech—and a possible candidate for President (He'll talk about that). In this must-hear conversation, Rieckhoff challenges Khanna on his party's plans to try to slow down Trump, the Dem strategy on the shutdown, how long this madness will last, and if Congress can get anything done at all since they're not even in session. And Khanna thoughtfully pulls back the curtain on the dysfunction in Congress, the dangers of unchecked war powers, the tech elite's disconnect from American service, and why real patriotism still matters. And the rare examples of when far right Majorie Taylor Greene and far left İlhan Omar might sign on to the same bills. Khanna also discusses how Democrats and America can reclaim their soul—and shares his Halloween and football picks along the way. End your week with a fast, fierce and independent blast of independent information, analysis and perspective. In a style that will satisfy like a King Size Snickers in your Halloween bag.

Lutero Simango, líder do MDM, Movimento Democrático de Moçambique, na oposição, esteve em Paris nestes últimos dias para participar nomeadamente no Fórum para a Paz organizado pelo executivo francês, com na ementa questões como a protecção do meio ambiente ou ainda o multilateralismo num mundo fragmentado. Nesta quinta-feira 30 de Outubro, o líder do quarto partido mais votado nas eleições gerais de 2024 em Moçambique esteve nos estúdios da Rádio França Internacional. Lutero Simango abordou com a RFI alguns dos destaques da actualidade do seu país, designadamente a situação em Cabo Delgado e o regresso da TotalEnergies anunciado há uma semana. Ele sublinhou a este respeito a necessidade de se conhecer os termos exactos do contrato existente entre o Estado Moçambicano e o gigante dos hidrocarbonetos. Neste sentido, ele vincou que é preciso "garantir a transparência". O responsável político evocou igualmente o contexto económico e social um ano depois da crise pós-eleitoral, com dados oficiais a indicarem que cerca de 3 mil pessoas permanecem sem emprego nem compensações depois da vandalização das suas empresas. Um desafio perante o qual Lutero Simango considera que é preciso criar um ambiente de negócios mais atractivo, para impulsionar a economia. "Nós temos que criar um ambiente em que a população tenha acesso ao emprego, que a população tenha acesso aos alimentos e que a população também tenha acesso à dignidade", insistiu. Antes destes aspectos, o líder do MDM começou por evocar de forma breve o motivo da sua deslocação a Paris. RFI: Esteve nestes últimos dias aqui em Paris, a participar, designadamente no Fórum para a Paz. Como é que foi este fórum? Lutero Simango: Foi interessante e esse fórum teve o lema de reinventar a diplomacia em fase de mudanças. RFI: Relativamente ainda à sua estadia aqui em Paris, manteve também encontros com as autoridades aqui em França. Lutero Simango: Sim. Tive um encontro no Ministério dos Estrangeiros, nomeadamente no Departamento africano. RFI: E, portanto, qual é o balanço que faz deste encontro? Alguma novidade? Lutero Simango: Novidades como tal ainda não existem, mas foi importante de partilhar o nosso pensamento sobre a situação política socioeconómica de Moçambique. E também falámos sobre a situação mundial e do papel que o MDM está a desempenhar no processo do Diálogo nacional inclusivo em Moçambique. RFI: Antes de evocarmos essa questão, se calhar iríamos fazer um pouco um balanço deste ano que passou. Há precisamente um ano, estávamos em plena crise pós-eleitoral. Um ano depois, qual é o balanço preliminar que se pode fazer? Lutero Simango: Um balanço? É difícil fazer. Mas o que se pode assegurar é que a situação está calma. Mas essa acalmia não significa que o descontentamento não existe. Ainda persiste. As pessoas estão saturadas e os níveis da pobreza tendem a subir. Como é sabido, já há dez anos atrás os níveis andavam em 40% e ultimamente andam na casa de 60 a 70%. Há duas semanas foi publicado o índice da pobreza e a posição em que se encontra Moçambique não é boa e também não podemos ignorar os níveis de corrupção generalizada que persiste e os níveis de desemprego. Tudo isto cria uma situação difícil para a nossa população. RFI: Nestes últimos dias foram publicados dados sobre o balanço para a população de Moçambique de todos estes incidentes e nomeadamente, o facto de persistirem 3 mil pessoas sem indemnizações, sem emprego, depois de as suas empresas terem sido destruídas. Lutero Simango: É isso mesmo. Essa é uma situação dramática. É uma situação difícil que nós vivemos. Para ultrapassar, isso requer políticas de reformas e, acima de tudo, requer que o governo assuma o compromisso de um combate real à corrupção e também crie um ambiente propício para os negócios. Porque neste momento que estou a falar aqui consigo, torna-se muito difícil investir em Moçambique pelos níveis de corrupção, pelos níveis de sequestro e rapto, pelos níveis da criminalidade. No entanto, é preciso que se dê uma volta em relação a tudo isto. Nós precisamos de criar um ambiente de segurança e também criar um ambiente de confiança nas instituições públicas. RFI: A União Europeia retirou nestes últimos dias Moçambique da sua "lista cinzenta" em termos de criminalidade ligada, por exemplo, com lavagem de capitais. Julga que isto pode ser um bom sinal? Lutero Simango: Bem, eu também vi a retirada da "zona cinzenta", mas o problema não está por aí, porque nós temos que criar um ambiente em que a população tenha acesso ao emprego, que a população tenha acesso aos alimentos e que a população também tenha acesso à dignidade. Nós sabemos de antemão que em Moçambique muitos trabalham de um dia para se alimentar no dia seguinte. E há níveis de corrupção. E também a nossa economia não está a gerar oportunidades de negócios, muito menos de emprego. E a pergunta se coloca é esta como é que as pessoas estão a sobreviver? Quais são os meios que usam para a sua sobrevivência? Portanto, eu penso o grande desafio que nós temos todos fazer, é trabalhar, é criar um ambiente para que a nossa economia seja, de facto, uma economia vibrante. É a condição necessária de criar oportunidades e emprego aos cidadãos. Quando o índice de desemprego tende a aumentar cada vez mais, cria um maior espaço para o branqueamento do capital. Cria maior espaço para o desemprego. Portanto, eu penso que não basta retirar Moçambique da "zona cinzenta". É preciso criar condições para que a nossa economia possa potenciar as pequenas e médias empresas. Esta é a condição necessária de promover o emprego aos cidadãos. RFI: Entretanto, o Governo também diz que está a envidar esforços, designadamente com gabinetes exteriores, para tornar a dívida do país mais sustentável. O que é que acha deste anúncio? Lutero Simango: A dívida, para que ela seja sustentável, mais uma vez, requer que tenha uma economia vibrante. Enquanto o Estado moçambicano continuar a criar empréstimos junto dos bancos comerciais para garantir salários aos funcionários públicos, torna-se muito difícil atingir esse objectivo. Enquanto o Estado moçambicano não conseguir reembolsar o IVA aos empresários a tempo útil, torna-se muito difícil atingir esse objectivo. Portanto, mais uma vez, nós precisamos estabelecer uma estratégia que possa garantir incentivos para as pequenas e médias empresas. E temos que ter uma estratégia que possa garantir uma revisão da política fiscal que não seja uma política fiscal punitiva, mas sim, promova a entrada dos investimentos nacionais e estrangeiros. RFI: Relativamente à qualidade do diálogo entre o partido no poder e os restantes partidos, como é que estamos neste momento? Lutero Simango: Até esse momento, o diálogo está no seu curso. Está-se a realizar a auscultação pública e, acima de tudo, esse diálogo vai requerer e vai exigir a todos nós, a vontade política de assumirmos de que temos que fazer as reformas no nosso país. Esta é a condição necessária para devolver a confiança nas instituições à população moçambicana. É a condição necessária de garantir que as liberdades e a democracia sejam respeitadas. E, por isso, o grande desafio que nós temos ao longo deste diálogo nacional inclusivo, é assumirmos de que temos que fazer as reformas, quer na área constitucional, quer no pacote dos assuntos eleitorais e também no sistema judiciário. E acordarmos sobre as grandes políticas públicas na educação, saúde, na exploração dos nossos recursos e na política fiscal, em que o rumo nós queremos que o nosso país possa e deve seguir. Porque nós não podemos pensar só em nós. Temos que começar a montar as bases para que as futuras gerações possam ter um ambiente de dignidade, de felicidade e o bem-estar. RFI: Tem alguma proposta concreta em termos de reformas? Lutero Simango: Claro. O meu partido tem propostas concretas e nós sempre debatemos ao longo desses últimos anos, desde a nossa criação, de que nós precisamos ter uma Comissão da República que respeite os princípios e os valores de um Estado de Direito, que respeite os princípios da separação dos poderes, em que nós tenhamos um sistema judiciário com autonomia administrativa e financeira e que os presidentes dos tribunais sejam eleitos entre os seus pares e não na base de uma confiança política. E também nós somos pela revisão da política fiscal. E também defendemos de que é preciso despartidarizar o Estado moçambicano. Nós não podemos continuar a ter um Estado moçambicano que dependa de um partido político. Nós queremos que tenhamos um Estado moçambicano que não esteja sob o controlo de um partido político, porque a democracia é isso. A democracia que nós queremos é que haja, de facto, alternância democrática. E essa alternância democrática tem que ser via as urnas e não por uma imposição. Portanto, o desafio que nós todos temos é que as reformas sejam feitas como a condição necessária de garantir a paz efectiva, a estabilidade, para que se torne Moçambique numa sociedade dialogante, inclusiva e participativa. E pessoalmente, tenho a fé e tenho a confiança que é possível fazer. E se não o fazemos agora, vamos perder a grande oportunidade de resolver os nossos problemas. E se não fizermos as reformas agora, nas próximas eleições corremos o risco de transformar o país num caos e entrar num novo ciclo da violência. RFI: O governo disse ultimamente que iria fazer um balanço do que sucedeu, que vai fazer um relatório sobre os Direitos Humanos em Moçambique. Julga que isto, de facto, vai ser fiel aos acontecimentos? Lutero Simango: O relatório não pode ser elaborado por quem é um actor do processo. Seja qual for o relatório, para que seja um relatório independente, que dê garantia, que dê confiança, tem que ser feito por uma entidade independente, por uma entidade que não tem interesse no processo. RFI: Ainda relativamente à questão dos Direitos Humanos, fez este mês oito anos que começou a onda de violência em Cabo Delgado. Nestes últimos meses, esta situação tem vindo a piorar e inclusivamente estendeu-se também à zona de Nampula. Qual é a avaliação que se pode fazer da situação neste momento no norte de Moçambique? Lutero Simango: É uma situação difícil. É uma situação complexa. É uma situação que nos remete a uma análise profunda, objectiva e mais realística, porque a experiência da vida nos ensina que um qualquer movimento de guerrilha ou uma insurreição armada, quando consegue sobreviver a esse tempo, neste caso concreto, de oito anos, temos que nos questionar e temos que perceber que, queiramos ou não acreditar, tem um certo apoio da base local. Nenhum movimento de guerrilha sobrevive muito tempo se não tiver apoio local. Eu, muitas vezes, dou um exemplo concreto do Che Guevara quando tentou lançar a guerrilha na Bolívia, não sobreviveu porque não teve apoio local. Vamos ser honestos, quem consegue conduzir essa insurreição armada durante oito anos, sobrevive e não consegue ser eliminado, tem apoio local. Então, temos que ter a coragem de usar a nossa inteligência para perceber e compreender qual é a motivação deste conflito e quem são as pessoas que apoiam e qual é a sua retaguarda segura em termos de logística, em termos do apoio e também de treinamento. Em função disso, tomar uma decisão política que para mim, passa necessariamente em abrir uma janela de diálogo. Temos que abrir uma janela de diálogo. RFI: Mas dialogar com quem? Lutero Simango: É por isso que a nossa inteligência tem que investigar para perceber qual é a motivação, qual é a origem deste movimento e qual é a sua retaguarda de apoio. E é possível encontrar com quem se dialogar. RFI: Há também quem acredite que, paralelamente, lá está, a todo esse trabalho de inteligência, é preciso também criar condições socioeconómicas para incentivar a juventude de Cabo Delgado a não ir para as fileiras dos jihadistas. Lutero Simango: Concordo. E é por isso eu disse de que se esse movimento conseguiu sobreviver a esses oito anos, é porque teve ou continua a ter um certo apoio local. E esse apoio local resulta pela incapacidade do Estado moçambicano em satisfazer as condições básicas da população destas zonas de conflito. E por isso é que a nossa inteligência tem que ser muito hábil para responder a essas questões que eu coloquei. E em função disso, temos que abrir uma janela de diálogo e o diálogo é importante para resolver o problema. RFI: Quanto à vertente militar? Lutero Simango: Na vertente militar, nós temos que ter a coragem de reconhecer de que o nosso exército precisa de mais formação, precisa de equipamento e também voltamos à base das reformas. Temos que ter a coragem de fazer reformas nas nossas forças de defesa e segurança. Temos que ter um exército terrestre com capacidade combativa. Temos que ter uma Força Aérea e temos de ter uma força naval e para isso temos que criar condições para isso. O que significa também que é preciso encontrar recursos, não só recursos humanos, que já existem, mas também os recursos financeiros. Portanto, nós temos que discutir seriamente que tipo de exército, que tipo de forças Armadas, nós precisamos para Moçambique. E não podemos esquecer que Moçambique possui uma longa costa e que ela tem que ser protegida. RFI: Julga que há vontade política para apostar em mais meios para, de facto, tirar Cabo Delgado dessa espiral de violência? Lutero Simango: Aqui não se trata de vontade política. Trata-se de uma questão de soberania e da segurança do nosso povo. Se nós queremos ter a garantia da nossa soberania, se nós queremos garantir a segurança para a nossa população, então temos que ter as forças de segurança em altura para garantir a segurança, a estabilidade, a paz em Moçambique. RFI: Entretanto, é precisamente nesse contexto delicado que a TotalEnergies levanta a cláusula da "força maior" através da qual manteve as suas actividades suspensas desde 2021. Portanto, está prestes a retomar as suas actividades em Cabo Delgado. A seu ver, como é que se pode explicar essa escolha numa altura em que há violência em Cabo Delgado? Lutero Simango: Parece que eles têm a certeza de que a existência das tropas estrangeiras, nesse caso, as tropas ruandesas, garantem a segurança. Mas eu gostaria de olhar em relação a esse assunto de uma forma global, porque Cabo Delgado faz parte de Moçambique. Cabo Delgado é um território dentro do território moçambicano. Então, quando nós falamos da segurança e da soberania, estamos a falar do todo o território nacional, do Rovuma ao Maputo, do Zumbo ao Índico. Portanto, eu prefiro discutir o assunto no âmbito da segurança geral do país em defesa da nossa soberania. RFI: A TotalEnergies tornou pública uma carta que mandou às autoridades, condicionando o seu regresso à concessão de mais de dez anos para explorar o gás em Cabo Delgado. O que é que acha dessa iniciativa? Lutero Simango: Ela pode ser boa ou pode ser má. O dilema que nós temos relativamente a todo o processo de exploração dos nossos recursos é a ausência de transparência. Eu não conheço o contrato que foi assinado, nem sei em que termos foi assinado, em que condições foi assinado. Portanto, é importante que, quando se trata desses grandes negócios, haja transparência. É com a transparência no domínio dos contratos que todos nós estaremos em condições de dar uma opinião mais correcta. Agora, se quer ficar mais dez anos, o que implica isso? Dêem-nos o contrato para a gente ter acesso e para podermos falar. RFI: ONGs consideram que a TotalEnergies está praticamente a fazer Moçambique refém das suas vontades. Lutero Simango: Isso só pode acontecer se não houver transparência. E por isso, eu estou a falar aqui de que nós temos que conhecer os contratos. Temos que conhecer o conteúdo, os termos de referência, para podermos estar à altura, para dar uma opinião mais justa. E também há outro elemento que é sabido e que o MDM sempre defendeu em particular. Quando eu fui candidato às presidenciais, defendi com muita garra que é preciso renegociar os contratos. Entretanto, se quiserem ficar mais dez anos, então vamos renegociar o contrato e estabelecer os novos termos, as novas modalidades. RFI: Pensa que as autoridades neste momento instaladas em Maputo, terão mais abertura, mais condições para efectivamente tornar públicas ou, pelo menos, divulgar aos deputados aquilo que foi acordado com a TotalEnergies? Lutero Simango: Têm a obrigação. Porque se não divulgarem, se não tornarem o contrato do domínio público, ninguém vai acreditar no posicionamento do governo. Portanto, a melhor forma de resolver esse problema é tornar o contrato público, é garantir a transparência e também poderá ser o grande instrumento de combate à corrupção. RFI: De forma mais global, e para concluirmos esta entrevista, como é que olha para a actualidade do seu país neste momento? Lutero Simango: Nós todos temos que trabalhar no sentido de renovar a esperança. Nós temos que renovar a esperança nos moçambicanos e por isso estamos engajados neste processo de diálogo nacional inclusivo e queremos que todos tenham a vontade política de resolver os nossos problemas. E os moçambicanos devem participar de uma forma activa e devemos evitar diabolizar o processo. Se diabolizarmos o processo, estaremos a cometer o mesmo erro que foi cometido em 1974 e 1975 quando Moçambique estava num processo para alcançar a sua independência nacional. É por isso que esse processo tem que ser inclusivo, tem que ser participativo e ninguém deve ficar fora. E ninguém deve diabolizar o outro, para permitir que todos os moçambicanos participem de uma forma efectiva, para que as reformas possam ocorrer. E nesse processo, não pode haver os mais importantes, os menos importantes. Todos temos responsabilidades, todos temos o dever e o direito de contribuir para que Moçambique possa atingir as reformas que se pretendem, pôr Moçambique nos carris do desenvolvimento, da paz, da estabilidade e da segurança para todos.

In this special episode of Independent Americans, your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is joined by his old friend and colleague, John Reid, who is now the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia—and the first openly gay candidate from a major party for statewide office in state history. John opens up about the cutthroat realities of running for office, the personal attacks he's faced, the real mental and physical risks in today's political climate—including wearing a bulletproof vest on the campaign trail—and why he believes fairness, respect, and honest debate are needed more than ever. They talk about food insecurity among military families during the federal shutdown, political hypocrisy in both parties, practical paths for bipartisan progress in Virginia, and the surprising story behind Reid's viral AI “debate” with his Democratic opponent. Plus, John shares why he remains a Republican, how his campaign has inspired young people, and what gives him hope. It's a look at what it's like to run in 2025, what it's like to be openly gay in the Republican party, to run an outsider campaign, and what it takes to stand up for what you believe in. It's a respectful and candid conversation with two guys who disagree on some things— but agree on many more. Especially their love for their country. 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. Its independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

Ahad Afridi, CMO for the Americas at Pladis, owner of Godiva, shares how the legacy chocolate house's “hundred-year reboot” is reshaping the brand for a new generation of snackers, particularly millennials and Gen Zers. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing,Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're joined by Ahad Afridi Chief Marketing Officer for the Americas at Pladis, the company behind the Godiva brand, those premium chocolates we all live.Damian Fowler (00:20):We're diving into Godiva's bold new campaign, featuring Leighton Meester portraying the legendary lady, good diver, a modern spin on an iconic story of courage and individuality.Ilyse Liffreing (00:31):We'll talk about how the brand is trying to stand out ahead of the holiday season and how Pladis is evolving its brands for the next generation of snackers.Ahad Afridi (00:40):Let's get into it. It's a comprehensive launch. It's a launch of a new product within the Godiva range called Masterpiece, but it's also the start of a brand reset. And so part of this has an eye towards the now of launching this new product that's great, but also towards activities that are going to happen over the next one year. Godiva turns 100 next year, and so what we wanted to accomplish was the first big step in this centennial, what we call re-imagining of the Godiva brand.Speaker 2 (01:17):Yeah, that's a legacy brand for sure.Speaker 3 (01:18):And happy birthday as well.Speaker 2 (01:20):Thank youSpeaker 3 (01:20):A hundred years. Thank you. Thank you to Godiva. On behalf of Godiva, I'd say thank you.Speaker 1 (01:26):Yeah. In that hundred, how would you define what Godiva stands for as a legacy brand over that century?Speaker 3 (01:34):Godiva is a premium chocolate brand. It's been called a luxury chocolate brand, but we prefer to call it premium because it makes it more accessible, which we can talk about a little bit more. It's a Belgian heritage brand. Belgian chocolates are different than the normal. Speaker 2 (01:51):That's good, in my opinion,Speaker 3 (01:53):Different than the normal chocolate milk-based chocolate, but it's just great tasting, high quality chocolate that you feel great giving to others as a gift and having for yourself as well.Speaker 1 (02:08):So just to ask you about this specific campaign, what made you wanted to bring that legacy as it were up to date? Is that the right way of putting it into today's culture through this campaign?Speaker 3 (02:18):Yeah, in a way. Let's say it's a hundred year reboot because turning a hundred, you have to celebrate your heritage, but reposition for the future. So it's about getting contemporary, bringing some of those traditional values and equities of the brand, but modernizing them for today and starting this, what we call re-imagining with totally new offerings coming over the next one to two years. We've started with what we call Masterpiece, and Masterpiece is a small chocolate piece that comes in a bag with multiple pieces in there, and it's great for sharing with others or treating yourself. So this is the first step. We've just launched this now it's in the market. In the next few weeks you'll see a totally reimagined what we call gold box and truffle box, which is high-end premium chocolate in specialty stores and on the giva.com website where we've totally revamped chocolate and got new offerings in that. So that's coming over the holiday period, Valentine's Day, there'll be another new collection coming next fall. Towards the end of the next year, we'll have some more gifting chocolates available that will be broadly available. And that's the start. And then after that, in the year 2027, we've got other exciting things coming in. So it's a sequenced campaign. Speaker 2 (03:47):Good timing for the holiday season, I'm sure.Speaker 3 (03:50):Exactly, exactly. Holiday seasons are important for us. Every day is important for us, but the holiday seasons are very important for us. Yes.Speaker 2 (03:58):Can you describe a little bit of the campaign itself and what viewers might see and experience as they witness the campaign?Speaker 3 (04:06):Yeah, I guess the first thing you'll see is a wonderful cinematic traditional sort of advertising, which has got some drama in it. It's got wonderful aesthetic, but at its heart it's a product centered ad and the product is celebrated in there, the taste of that. So that's let's say the hero piece or the centerpiece. But in addition, what you'll see is a lot of social content in different variations. You'll see different versions in digital tv. You'll see a billboard coming later, so some nice still art coming there. Now what's unique about this is we didn't look at it as just a specific campaign and a point of time. We look at this as a one year program where we're relaunching the brand. So you'll see Layton Meer again in the holiday periods, Valentine's period and throughout next year. WhySpeaker 1 (05:03):Leighton Meester? I mean, I know Ilyse is a fan.Speaker 2 (05:06):Oh yeah. I mean Gossip Girl lover obviously.Speaker 3 (05:10):Well, she's a great representation of some of the values of Lady Godiva and Lady Godiv was the, let's say the initial inspiration for the brand. It's obviously called Godiva. So she, lady Godiva played a big role in the identity of the brand. But Leighton Meester is someone that we respect a lot. She's very popular, she's highly likable, she's multifaceted, great actor, musician person who has her own specific identity, and we think that's a great person to partner with in thisSpeaker 2 (05:52):Now premium chocolate, that space is a pretty packed one. How does this campaign really help the brand stand out, especially as we head into those important holiday seasons?Speaker 3 (06:04):Yeah, so premium chocolate is a growing segment within overall chocolate. So certainly chocolate's a very broad area, so many different offerings, and premium is a very important segment within that. And there are different offerings within premium. We like to consider Godiva as the high end of the premium segment. And there's something special. It's like in a category full of square shapes and round shapes,Speaker 4 (06:32):You'veSpeaker 3 (06:33):Got Godiva coming in with something totally different. And if you see the Masterpiece product, you'll see it's a very unique sort of shape there. So we pride ourselves in being kind of the premium of the premium but being accessible. And it's our goal to provide unique offerings that really tastes great and are cut above the rest of premium, but yet at let's say a fingertip away from desire.Speaker 1 (07:04):When you say relaunch, what does that mean? Does it mean like you're trying to reach new audiences, new consumers? How are you thinking about the people you're trying to reach? And I guess that does tie in with getting a celebrity like Leighton Meester.Speaker 3 (07:21):Yeah, it's important for us to connect with a broader range of consumers, younger consumers. So we're trying to get millennials and Gen Zs now, which the brand hadn't really targeted before and over a hundred year period you will have a core cohort which will age over time, and we're making a purposeful effort to try and reach a broader audience. Now contemporize the brand and our activities around doing that,Speaker 2 (07:53):Does that also have to do with perhaps the decision to call it premium chocolate versus luxury chocolate or what is that thinking?Speaker 3 (08:02):Well, the category is divine is premium chocolate, but people say good dive is a luxury brand and sometimes people talk about chocolate as being luxury. I don't think chocolate should be luxury. Chocolate should be accessible as well. And so it's really around that. It's not a conscious big effort saying, Hey, call us premium. Don't call us luxury.Speaker 3 (08:23):You can call us what you want, but it's just great tasting chocolate that is accessible. And our key point is luxury is often reserved for special occasions or milestones and that's certainly fine, but could dive a chocolate is also accessible every day. A little bit of happiness and a little smile is an everyday treat that we all have a right to.Speaker 1 (08:50):My wife reminds me of that every day. She says, should we have a chocolate? Now she's a millennium. She'll be very happy if I give her a Godiva chocolate. Well, we have them here for you to try. Okay, well we will just pause the podcast.Speaker 1 (09:07):We right back anyway. So just to talk about PLAs. So good diver is one of the brands within Pladis and which has a big portfolio of snacking. I just want to talk a bit more about the consumer you're trying to reach. What kind of insights have really shaped how you think about this new strategy?Speaker 3 (09:30):Chocolate plays a meaningful role in people's everyday lives. It's not something that's only reserved for special occasions once or twice a year. And so what we see is that people need, if you look at what we call a demand space map of consumers needs and occasions during the day, there are many opportunities in there for us to provide little bits of happiness, little bits of indulgence, a treat for yourself that is accessible and that's important for us. That's an important insight. The second is that chocolate is more than a product, but it may provide an emotional benefit. It might make you feel good, it might help you connect with others. It might be a reboot for the rest of the day, three o'clock, little piece of chocolate it with a coffee or a cup of tea or something like that is fantastic. So we've mapped consumer occasions to see that that's important. So those are really two very important insights for us.Speaker 2 (10:38):Curious, now that the campaign is out, I know it's early days, but are there any KPIs that you're really keeping your eye on or your hopes around brand impact that you're going to get from this campaign?Speaker 3 (10:54):Yes. Well, we have a broad range of metrics that we look at. You can bucket them around awareness and visibility as one. Engagement. How consumers get involved is to sentiment, what are people saying and how do they feel about it. And then importantly, fourth but not least, is the commercial impact. What kind of sales impact do we have? How's it driving the business? And we're one week into the campaign,(11:20):So we don't have any of those metrics now, but we will be tracking them. But what we're very encouraged by is just the initial, let's say feedback, what people are saying, how much people are talking about it and what they're saying about it. And it's very, very positive what we're hearing about this. And even in this first week, we're seeing remarkable engagement. People are even reediting bits of the ad and combining it with Layton Meer in other roles. It's a very scene in one of her previous shows, which she's very famous for where she says, lady Godiva is my only friend. So we're getting recut edits of that with snippets of the new ad. So consumers are sending those back to us.Speaker 2 (12:09):Now. You've talked before about how storytelling is very key to building great brands. Has this campaign changed how you think about what really connects with today's consumers?Speaker 3 (12:22):I think this campaign will confirm what we think is important in storytelling. And for us, storytelling has got to be something that captures people's attention, draws some interest, so they stick with it and is something that they'll remember later on. And we are trying to find new ways to deliver that and create that impact. But within that, we have to embed elements of the brand and the product experience that's so important in that. And this first centerpiece ad is a wonderful example of that because it's a captivating ad, but at the heart it is a product brand centered ad. So I think that's very important is to combine those things.Speaker 1 (13:14):When we look at the sort of bigger shift, and you've sort of addressed this a little bit, but I'm just curious, we are in a moment of time where people are a little bit anxious in some cases about the economy and where things are going. How do you market into that where you're talking about the importance of premium at a time, that might be something where people would think, oh, should I, shouldn't I? How do you think about that?Speaker 3 (13:42):Well, the good thing about chocolate is it is something that's important every day or can be important every day. It should be accessible every day. And whether the economy goes up or it goes down, it's something that's there. And available chocolates, you were talking earlier about luxury. God, IVA is not a Hermes bag. You don't have to wait two months, or sorry, two years to get that. It's something there that you can have. And if it provides that little bit of lift, that smile on your face, that moment of connection, that's something that is important for people regardless of economic conditions. And if they're having some moments in life or particular experiences in life where they need a little pick me up even more than it plays an even bigger role. So it's our job to provide the right offerings, make them accessible and be available for them.Speaker 1 (14:45):Does it signal anything about how you might approach other Plaice brands? I know they're very different, but justSpeaker 3 (14:52):Yeah, we have multiple other brands around the world and some are chocolate, some are biscuits, some are cakes. And each brand has to find a way to tap into consumer desire. And our Pladis mission we say, is happiness in every bite. And that's what we're trying to deliver. And each brand has to try and deliver that in its own unique way.Speaker 2 (15:22):Now with a heritage brand such as Godiva, how are you still keeping it modern while staying true to its heritage? Because the snack worlds today is changing so fast, we have new wellness trends all the time, digital shopping, et cetera, et cetera.Speaker 3 (15:39):Well, it's such an important question because the challenge for every brand is to be relevant today. And what got you there in the heritage is helpful, but it doesn't necessarily deliver against what makes you relevant for today. It just makes people notice or gives you a little bit of credibility or trust. So a big part of this brand, re-imagining it a hundred years is about that. It's about contemporizing the brand, making sure that we stand out in today's world, that we're conveying those benefits that meet the needs of today's consumers, that we are using the right codes to communicate Kate and making it easy for consumers to notice us, to think about us, to remember us to desire us.Speaker 2 (16:33):How do you think about the way modern brands are going about marketing? Are there any interesting tidbits or trends that you're noticing?Speaker 3 (16:43):Lots of littles. There's a study by work that talks about the aggregate, let's say the cumulative effect of little bits of exposure on your brand actually deliver more than singular big pieces of visibility. And if a brand can try and do that show up in different places, just little bites, little bite size bits ofSpeaker 4 (17:10):ContentSpeaker 3 (17:11):That comes across a lot, that is a great way for connecting and getting consumers to remember you.Speaker 1 (17:18):We've got these kind of quick fire questions here at the end. And what's one thing that you're obsessed with figuring out in confectionary marketing right now?Speaker 3 (17:30):I'm obsessed with figuring out how to connect with consumers in a meaningful way. And that is evolving. It's very difficult. Consumers are bombarded with so many stimuli that the ability to connect with them in a relevant way is so important.Speaker 2 (17:49):Outside of snacks, do you have a brand that you really admire for nailing culture and doing just that?Speaker 3 (17:58):Yes, I love what Heinz is doing. They're fantastic. They're a great example of leaning into your heritage, creating distinction versus other brands in a category that seemingly doesn't have a lot of variety. They are very strong at having distinctive brand assets that they tap into all the time. Make it easy for consumers to think about them, remember them, and they're great at tapping into culture. They've got great little mini campaigns under their overall brand platform. It has to be hez that keep the brand very vibrant. I love what they're doing.Speaker 1 (18:42):What's the best piece of marketing advice you've ever received and do you still follow it?Speaker 3 (18:47):Message delivered does not mean message received. And I think that that applies not just to marketing, it applies to change management leadership. And it's something that I think about a lot, especially now. So if you think about it from a marketing perspective, a brand manager's perspective, it's easy to fall in the trap that if you create something and you put it out there that consumers are going to notice it, love it, and buy your brand. And what we try and tell them is, this is not Iowa Field of dreams. It's not a build it and they will come. You have to really work hard at creating relevance and getting noticed and the odds are stacked against you. So making sure your message or your intent is received, not just delivered is very important.Speaker 2 (19:42):Very nice. One more for fun. If money were no object, what's a dream marketing move you'd make?Speaker 3 (19:52):So I can give you the traditional answer on top of those lots of littles. It'd be great to have some big mega programs. I would love to have, we're talking about Godiva today. I'd love to have Godiva in the Super Bowl. I'd love to have Lady Godiva show up and present the trophy, the NFL trophy or the US Open Tennis trophy or I'd love that stuff, but I'll go past that. It would be great to have Lady Godiva as a Marvel superhero movie and have her deliver chocolate to save the world. Something's going on and she just comes and gives a little piece of chocolate and everything's okay. And that's itSpeaker 1 (20:36):For this edition of The Big Impression.Speaker 2 (20:38):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by love and caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns,Speaker 3 (20:45):And remember lots of littles. There's a study by work that talks about the aggregate, let's say the cumulative effect of little bits of exposure on your brand actually deliver more than singular big pieces of visibility.Speaker 1 (21:03):I'm Damian and I'm IlyseSpeaker 3 (21:05):And we'llSpeaker 1 (21:05):See you next time.

Everything is about national security. Especially right now. From troops in US streets, to strikes on boats in the Caribbean, to Ukraine and Putin, to Trump's crazy and now regular speeches to military audiences. There's lots of chaos and drama. But the chaos and drama about war and conflict are most important. And it sounds like Trump and Hegseth want more. Former CNN National Security reporter and veteran Pentagon press leader Barbara Starr is a highly-respected and wise legend in journalism. For decades, she's covered the military, Secretaries of Defense and Presidents. She's seen it all. But like Ohatani last night, or the magnitude of Hurricane Melissa slamming into Jamaica right now, nobody's seen the stuff we're seeing now from Trump and Hegseth focused in and around our military. And it may be coming to your city or two next. Barbara returns to break down an America at the tipping point on the latest daily episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff). They tackle the new threats facing the U.S. military, the politicization of the armed forces, attacks on the Pentagon press corps, lessons from Venezuela, and the importance of defending the Constitution and press freedom amid chaos. Barbara also shares the vital importance of the First Amendment as the constitutional backbone of democracy, and why mentorship, courage, and vigilance are essential for journalists, troops, and citizens alike. Topped with uplifting reflections on Shohei Ohtani's sportsmanship, the lessons of Sandy Kofax, and the enduring strength of the Constitution, this is a must-listen for anyone invested in America's future who wants to stay ahead of the news. And understand what's most important. 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.

En la Tertulia de Mercados, junto a Juan Merino, presidente de ASINCEX; Kamal Romero, consultor en análisis de datos y economía; y Gonzalo Garnica, consultor empresarial, se ha debatido cómo la incertidumbre política —tras la ruptura de Puigdemont con el PSOE y la posibilidad de elecciones anticipadas antes del verano de 2026— apenas ha afectado al comportamiento de la bolsa y los bonos españoles, que continúan mostrando fortaleza. Los expertos han coincidido en que “los mercados descuentan ruido político, pero valoran estabilidad económica”. En la Entrevista Capital, el economista y profesor José Carlos Díez ha analizado el nuevo escenario político y económico, destacando que “el Gobierno da por terminada la legislatura mientras el PP toma la iniciativa con medidas para autónomos y clase media”. Entre ellas, las propuestas de cuotas nulas para nuevos autónomos y IVA cero hasta 85.000 euros, así como el anuncio de Ayuso de elevar las ayudas directas a 5.600 euros para emprendedores. También se ha abordado la advertencia de la UE a España por el escaso impacto de los fondos europeos en el tejido empresarial y el avance de Javier Milei en Argentina, que consolida su liderazgo tras su victoria legislativa. El programa ha concluido con el análisis de preapertura de los mercados a cargo de Pablo García, director de Divacons-Alphavalue, quien ha destacado la fortaleza de la renta variable española pese al ruido político y la buena acogida de los resultados empresariales recientes.
Los vecinos del barrio de A Graña, en Ferrol, celebran el anuncio del Concello sobre la próxima construcción de un nuevo aparcamiento público que pondrá fin a uno de sus principales problemas: la falta de espacio para estacionar. La presidenta de la Asociación Vecinal, María Cortavitarte, expresó su satisfacción por un proyecto “muy esperado” que dotará al barrio de un lugar donde aparcar “sin miedo a multas ni sanciones”. El estacionamiento, que contará con 60 plazas para vehículos, se ubicará cerca de la playa de A Graña, en una parcela de 2.734 metros cuadrados situada entre las calles Eduardo Blanco Amor y Real Baja. El Concello ha adjudicado la redacción del proyecto a la consultora Proyfe por un importe de 14.600 euros (sin IVA), mientras que la obra se estima en 250.000 euros. El informe urbanístico destaca que la necesidad del aparcamiento responde a las características del casco histórico, con calles estrechas, viviendas sin garajes y una configuración compacta que complica la circulación y el estacionamiento. El Concello considera que la nueva infraestructura mejorará la accesibilidad y el atractivo turístico de la zona, actualmente limitada por la escasez de plazas. Aunque aún no hay fechas oficiales, la Asociación de Vecinos confía en que las obras comiencen entre enero y febrero de 2026 y finalicen antes del verano. “Llevamos años luchando por esto. Serán las primeras plazas legales en A Graña”, destacó Francisco González, miembro de la entidad. Desde la asociación agradecen tanto al gobierno local como a la familia propietaria del terreno por hacer posible este proyecto, que marcará un antes y un después para el barrio.
Ogni mese, le cose da fare.
Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) launches “Manosphere Monday” with Barstool Sports' Connor Crehan, former co-host of Zero Blog Thirty and host of Bold American Pod (@BoldAmericanPod). Host Paul Rieckhoff and Connor dive into a wide-ranging, candid conversation that bridges the military, sports, politics, and American parenthood. Together, they unpack today's headlines—from troop deployments and civil-military divides, to the spectacle of social media politics, NFL injuries, and Army football's unique code. Connor shares hard-won wisdom from army deployments and raising young kids, reflects on media responsibility, and examines how Barstool's brutally honest brand resonates across divided America. Connor Crehan is a former U.S. Army officer, West Point graduate, and proud New Jersey native who has become a prominent voice at the intersection of military service, sports, culture, and media. He's the longtime co-host of Barstool Sports' influential “Zero Blog Thirty” podcast, and recently launched the “Bold American Pod” on Barstool, continuing his commitment to honest, unfiltered conversation about veterans' issues, leadership, and the challenges of modern American life. As a father of two young children and a passionate Army football supporter, Connor brings both hard-won perspective from combat deployments and sharp insights into the civil-military divide, media responsibility, and the realities of parenting today. He is widely respected for his candid approach, deep respect for service, and belief in building community through authentic dialogue and good humor.

Episode 359 of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) delivers an unflinching look at the crisis facing the Democratic Party and the state of American politics. Former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison joins Paul for an urgent, candid, and often funny conversation about the future of the Democrats, the failure of leadership on both sides, and how to fight back against extremism without losing our humanity. From the toxic culture of cable news to the erosion of civility in Washington, Paul and Jaime cover it all—authenticity, fatherhood, faith, and what it means to model leadership for the next generation. Harrison opens up about his time running the DNC, the frustration of rule-followers in an age of chaos, and why the Democratic brand is in real danger. They dig into strategy, messaging failure, rising independent voters, and the crucial fight for 2028. And because it's Friday, the conversation closes with sports—NBA predictions, college football picks, and why being a Knicks fan feels an awful lot like being a Democrat in 2025. This must-listen conversation is sharp, thoughtful, and necessary for anyone trying to make sense of American politics right now.

357. Dan Lamothe. Hegseth's War On The Pentagon Press Corp. The Media Walkout You Missed. Trump's Propaganda Plan Rolls On. Artillery Shells Send Shrapnel Over CA Highway. More Strikes on Venezuelan Boats. Hegseth & Platner's Nazi Tattoos. Govs vs Trump. The Pentagon press corps has walked out. The briefings have stopped. And the most powerful military in the world is being wielded in ways few Americans understand. In Episode 357, Washington Post national security reporter Dan Lamothe returns to Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff to break down an unprecedented crisis of transparency inside the Department of Defense. Lamothe explains why major news outlets—including the Washington Post, New York Times, and Politico—vacated their Pentagon offices after losing access, how coverage has been replaced by YouTubers, far right-wing propagandists and the MyPillow guy's TV network, —and what it means for democracy, accountability, and military families. He and your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) unpack the live-fire debacle over a California highway, potential unlawful orders surrounding Venezuela strikes, and how governors and journalists are pushing back against a White House testing the boundaries of power. Rieckhoff and Lamothe also explore the moral and national security implications of collapsing standards inside the military, from extremist symbols to politicized operations. They talk about what's next for Pentagon leadership, the risk of normalization amid chaos, and the urgent need for vigilance. It's one of the most important and explosive episodes yet—a conversation that underscores the cost of silence when truth itself is under siege. Stay vigilant, America. -WATCH video of this episode.

In Episode 358, host Paul Rieckhoff broadcasts straight from his kitchen in a no-holds-barred solo episode tackling the latest madness from Washington and beyond.

El automóvil se ha convertido en muchos países en una máquina de recaudar, una "vaca lechera" a la que ordeñan sin piedad y que en España entrega a las arcas del Estado alrededor de 40.000 millones de euros al año. Sí, habéis oído bien, el triple de lo que gasta el gobierno español en defensa. En mi opinión un escándalo que vamos a rastrear y analizar cifra por cifra. En este video vamos a investigar y a buscar hasta el último rincón y hasta el último céntimo, todo el dinero que el Estado obtiene del automóvil y los automovilistas. Y espero demostrar que la lógica y la justicia brillan por su ausencia. 1. El Bautizo Fiscal. Comprar un coche, el primer gran “sablazo”. El IVA o Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido, hoy en día, es un rotundo 21%. Pero esta cifra no ha dejado de crecer. Para que nos hagamos una idea, en 1995 este impuesto era del 16%. En julio de 2010 subió al 18% y, en plena crisis, en septiembre de 2012, nos dieron la estocada final con el 21%. ¿Te parece mucho? Pues la fiesta no ha hecho más que empezar. Ahora llega el Impuesto de Matriculación, un tributo que en la mayoría de países europeos serios, simplemente, no existe. Se supone que es un impuesto "ecológico" porque grava las emisiones de CO₂, pero es una de las mayores trampas fiscales de la historia reciente. 2. El “Ordeño” diario. La sangría de usar el coche. Una vez que el coche es tuyo, el Estado no se olvida de ti… por el contrario, se convierte en tu sombra. Empecemos por el Impuesto de Circulación o IVTM acrónimo de Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Tracción Mecánica. Es un impuesto municipal, lo que significa que cada ayuntamiento decide cuánto te “clava “en un ejercicio de arbitrariedad inaudito. Las diferencias son demenciales. Pero la verdadera joya de la corona, la mina de oro del Estado, es el combustible. Cada vez que paramos en una gasolinera, más de la mitad de lo que pagamos no es por la gasolina o el diésel, sino por los impuestos que lleva asociados. 3. La multa como modelo de negocio. La DGT del execrable Pere Navarro. Y, por si fuera poco, tenemos a la Dirección General de Tráfico. La DGT se ha convertido en una agencia de recaudación casi perfecta. En 2023, batió su récord histórico de multas, ingresando la escalofriante cifra de 507 millones de euros. 4. ¡Agárrate! El “Gran Total”. La Cifra del Escándalo. Y llega el momento de sumar. Si metemos en una coctelera el IVA, el Impuesto de Matriculación, el de Hidrocarburos, el de Circulación, tasas, multas y demás, la cifra es mareante. Según los últimos datos consolidados de ANFAC, la patronal de fabricantes, correspondientes a 2023, el sector de la automoción en España aporta cada año a las arcas del Estado cerca de 40.000 millones de euros. 5. La gran pregunta. ¿Qué recibimos a cambio? Insisto, ¿qué recibimos a cambio de este esfuerzo fiscal titánico? ¿Una red de carreteras impecable? ¡Nada más lejos de la realidad! El último informe de la Asociación Española de la Carretera es para echarse a llorar: el déficit en mantenimiento de nuestras carreteras supera ya los 11.000 millones de euros. 6. La Comparativa Europea: El mito de que en España no se paga tanto. Volvemos a Europa, donde la propaganda oficial insiste en que la presión fiscal sobre el automóvil en España está en la media. ¡Falso! La clave no es la cifra absoluta, sino el esfuerzo fiscal que supone para un ciudadano con un salario medio español. Compra del vehículo: La combinación de un IVA del 21% (superior al 19% de Alemania) y un Impuesto de Matriculación que no existe en potencias como Alemania o que es muy inferior en otros países, hace que el desembolso inicial en España sea de los más dolorosos de la UE en relación con el poder adquisitivo. Recaudación por combustible: Aunque en términos absolutos Alemania recauda más por tener más coches, España está entre los países con los impuestos sobre la gasolina y el diésel más altos de Europa. Esto castiga no solo al particular, sino a toda la cadena económica, desde el transportista hasta el agricultor. El modelo español es perversamente claro: una fiscalidad altísima en la compra y en el uso diario que afecta a toda la población por igual, vivas en una gran ciudad o en un pueblo donde el coche es tu única forma de ir al médico. Conclusión. Las cifras no mienten. Unos 40.000 millones de euros al año recaudados, un aumento de 18.000 millones en dos décadas, y un déficit en mantenimiento de carreteras que es una vergüenza nacional. El automóvil es el pilar financiero oculto del Estado español. Somos un cajero automático con ruedas para un sistema que recauda sin cesar y que no reinvierte de forma justa.

Send us a textPermission to grow doesn't come with a playbook—it starts when you admit what's no longer working and choose to rebuild from the inside out. We're joined by intuitive guide and entrepreneur Iva Svetliva, who shares how she swapped algorithm-chasing for resonance, turned her website into a community hub, and created “inner ceremonies” that help founders reconnect to their own wisdom.We explore the patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck—fear of visibility, people-pleasing pricing, urgency over alignment—and how Iva's co-creative approach helps clients access what's already within them. She breaks down how to choose the “easy yes,” practice body-based discernment, and redefine success beyond hustle culture.If you're craving a business that actually feels like you—clearer messaging, offers with soul, and growth without burnout—this conversation is your permission slip to follow resonance over rules.To learn more about Iva: https://mysticalheartco.group.app/about-communityThreads:https://www.threads.com/@ivaoftheheartYouTube:https://youtube.com/@ivaoftheheart?si=K4zU8ZQkxPjuUu76Ways to walk together:Inner Ceremony: Inner Self connection for healing & guidancehttps://cal.com/svetliva/inner-ceremonySpirit Baby Sanctuary: Empowered Motherhoodhttps://cal.com/svetliva/spirit-baby-sanctuaryEverBloom for Entrepreneurs: Authentic Business *Now enrolling Founding Members for EverBloom*https://mysticalheartco.group.app/plan-subscription/checkout?plan=2a37bc54-43d2-4469-9d9b-f2ab2b2c7b5aClairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

In this episode, Desiree and Iva talk about the real reasons traditional work fails expat moms and why a leveraged business model like Enagic isn't just about money, but about emotional safety, sisterhood, and sustainability. This isn't hustle-culture in paradise. It's wealth-building with your nervous system intact. So, if you're ready to stop surviving and start expanding, this one's for you.

The summer has come to a close in a crescendo of chaos. Political violence, confusion and anger are the defining features of the American vibe. And the American vibe, it ain't good. Tension everywhere as new cities are added to the target list seemingly daily. Memphis, LA, New York, Chicago. And now a government shutdown when things couldn't get any more fraught. It's a good time to stay frosty and an even better time to stay vigilant. And now, on the heels of this week's unprecedented speech at Quantico by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and President Trump, we need some perspective. And this week we're joined by one of our favorite voices to hear from — one of America's favorite voices to hear from — when we need clarity. Legendary documentary filmmaker Ken Burns is back for another stirring, timely exploration of America's ongoing revolution—past and present with your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff). Ken reflects on the meaning of patriotism, baseball's role in American life, and the fragile state of democracy in 2025. From the complexity of the nation's origins to the lessons of George Washington's leadership and baseball's enduring power, this episode is bringing the light to counteract all of the heat of our completely broken political system. 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. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration, and hope. The podcast that helps you stay ahead of the curve—and stay vigilant.

Confindustria segnala che la crescita in Italia resterà bassa, con un incremento del PIL pari a +0,5% nel 2025 e +0,7% nel 2026. Gli industriali sottolineano la necessità di muovere l’Italia attraverso investimenti produttivi, sbloccando risorse finanziarie ferme in depositi improduttivi. Il Rapporto Autunno 2025 evidenzia che gli incentivi Industria 4.0 hanno già stimolato gli investimenti, soprattutto nelle micro e piccole imprese, contribuendo al recupero di gettito per lo Stato. Tuttavia, il capitale netto pre-crisi finanziaria non è ancora stato ripristinato e l’Italia resta indietro rispetto ad altre economie avanzate nelle tecnologie ad alto contenuto digitale e tecnologico. Per questo, Confindustria chiede nuovi incentivi per sostenere ulteriormente la crescita e la competitività del Paese. Di questo parliamo con Alessandro Fontana, direttore del Centro studi di Confindustria.Autotrasporto, incentivi per formazione professionale: domande dal 20 ottobre. Il Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti ha pubblicato in Gazzetta Ufficiale il decreto del 4 agosto 2025 che mette a disposizione 5 milioni di euro di incentivi per la formazione nel settore dell’autotrasporto. Le domande potranno essere presentate dal 20 ottobre al 24 novembre 2025 esclusivamente via PEC, con firma digitale del legale rappresentante, all’indirizzo ram.formazione2026@pec.it. L’iniziativa mira a sostenere un comparto che soffre la crescente carenza di autisti, rafforzando la competitività delle imprese, sviluppando competenze digitali e tecnologiche e aumentando la sicurezza su strada e sul lavoro. Possono beneficiare dei contributi titolari, soci, amministratori, dipendenti e addetti delle imprese di autotrasporto merci per conto terzi, con piani formativi aziendali o interaziendali. Sono esclusi i corsi obbligatori previsti dalla legge, come patenti e rinnovi. L’iniziativa rappresenta un’opportunità concreta per le imprese e un segnale del Governo per sostenere la formazione professionale nel settore dell’autotrasporto e affrontare la carenza di autisti. Interviene Claudio Donati, segretario generale di Assotir.Spazio: firmata a Sydney intesa per cooperazione tra Asi e Bahrain Space Agency. È stato firmato un memorandum di intesa tra le agenzie spaziali di Italia e Bahrain per cooperare nell’uso pacifico dello spazio e in ambito scientifico, tecnologico e applicativo. L’accordo favorirà attività di capacity building, formazione specialistica per studenti e ricercatori, visite di esperti e l’organizzazione di simposi, conferenze e seminari congiunti. L’intesa arriva in un momento significativo per la space economy europea, anche alla luce del Big Beautiful Bill firmato da Donald Trump, che integra 10 miliardi al budget della NASA fino al 2032 e conferma il finanziamento del Gateway, del programma SLS e della capsula Orion, mantenendo operativi progetti che rischiavano cancellazioni. In questo contesto, l’ASI coordina il contributo industriale italiano, con Telespazio impegnata nel programma Moonlight, volto a garantire navigazione e comunicazioni sicure sulla superficie lunare, insieme a Politecnico di Milano, SDA Bocconi e Qascom, che a marzo hanno stabilito un record con la missione LuGRE. Commentiamo la notizia con Emilio Cozzi, autore del libro "Geopolitica dello spazio".Crescita e conti, oggi in Cdm i numeri alla base della manovra 2026. Il nuovo Documento programmatico di finanza pubblica (Dpfp), in arrivo al Consiglio dei ministri, dovrebbe evidenziare un piccolo margine derivante dal buon andamento dei conti, contribuendo a ridurre il deficit al 3% del PIL e a chiudere la procedura di infrazione dell’UE per deficit eccessivo.Tra le ipotesi della manovra ci sono il nuovo taglio dell’IRPEF per il ceto medio, interventi sulle detrazioni per le famiglie, e una rottamazione delle cartelle più contenuta rispetto al precedente progetto di legge. Sul fronte delle risorse si considerano anche i proventi derivanti dal concordato preventivo per le partite IVA e un possibile contributo delle banche. Secondo il viceministro dell’Economia, Maurizio Leo, tutte le risorse non derivanti da risparmi correnti dovranno essere reperite con tagli o nuove tasse, e resta il nodo di conciliare una manovra restrittiva con la necessità di sostenere la crescita senza far risalire il debito. Ne parliamo con Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 Ore.

Israel intercepta la "Flotilla de la Libertad", con Ada Colau denunciando detenciones ilegales. El gobierno español propone blindar la subida del salario mínimo por ley, mientras el sector manufacturero se ralentiza. La cesta de la compra es un 36% más cara en tres años, con incrementos notables en productos básicos como huevos (+200%) y zanahorias (+158%), afectando más a Baleares, Melilla y Castilla-La Mancha. Los veterinarios españoles sufren una fuga de talento por salarios bajos y un IVA del 21%. El oro marca máximos históricos. La renta per cápita la lidera Pozuelo de Alarcón, y EE.UU. vive un cierre de gobierno por desacuerdo presupuestario. Las ventas de coches vuelven a niveles prepandemia. COPE informa que todos los precios suben, incluido transporte, ocio, cultura y educación, siendo todo mucho más caro que antes de la pandemia.
El analista económico Marc Vidal ha analizado en la sección 'Salida de Emergencia' del programa 'Herrera en COPE' la reciente publicación de los datos macroeconómicos de España. A raíz de la pregunta de Carlos Herrera sobre la relación entre el repunte de la inflación al 2,9% y el crecimiento del PIB del 2,7%, Vidal ha desgranado lo que considera la "verdad incómoda" detrás de las cifras que presenta el Gobierno.Según Vidal, aunque un crecimiento del 2,7% con una inflación cercana al 3% indica que "la actividad económica resiste", existe un "truco en el relato". El analista explica que la inflación no es neutra, ya que con precios más altos, "el Estado recauda más por IVA y por cotizaciones sociales" y las empresas facturan más en bruto. Esto, en su opinión, "da una sensación de dinamismo algo ilusorio".A pesar de que la producción real no aumente significativamente, el dinero público circula e influye en el Producto Interior Bruto. Por ello, Vidal critica que el ...
This continues to be THE podcast for independent and unaffiliated Americans. No other show is focused on independents and independent elected leaders and candidates like we are. Why do America's biggest states leave us with so few choices? Independent candidate for California Governor, businessman and author Ethan Penner, joins our Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) for a raw and insightful conversation that dives deep into the state's dire housing, affordability, and political challenges, the corruption of the two party system—and offers a bold vision for a new California Dream. California is in crisis. Homelessness at historic highs, unaffordable living, and a broken political system. This week, Paul Rieckhoff sits down with Ethan Penner—one of the boldest independent candidates California has ever seen—to talk about radical solutions, restoring the American Dream, and what it takes to go it alone against the political machine. This is Penner's first national podcast appearance since declaring his candidacy. Get candid, unfiltered insight into why Penner thinks the time is ripe for independent leadership, how his outsider strategy could work, and what his innovative tax plan means for every Californian—from the rich to the struggling middle class.

Along the way, she discovered her passion for educating and empowering moms through natural living and built her first business in the network marketing space with essential oils. But once she became a mom herself, the endless hustle for pocket-money commissions and chasing end-of-month numbers no longer aligned with her purpose. In her quest to upgrade her family's health, Desiree invested in a Kangen Water machine, and everything clicked. She found not only the foundation of true wellness but also a business model that allowed her to create abundant income while making a bigger impact on families worldwide.

Negli ultimi anni l’evasione fiscale si è ridotta: da 97 miliardi nel 2017 a circa 72 miliardi nel 2021 (82 miliardi considerando anche la parte contributiva). La propensione all’evasione è scesa di 6 punti, dal 21% al 15%. Il calo è dovuto soprattutto al rafforzamento del sistema informativo fiscale con strumenti come la fatturazione elettronica, la trasmissione telematica dei corrispettivi e lo split payment. Il risultato più evidente riguarda l’Iva, con un dimezzamento del gap grazie a digitalizzazione e crescita degli acquisti online durante la pandemia. Miglioramenti anche sull’Ires, mentre i gap più elevati restano sull’Irpef da lavoro autonomo e d’impresa. Ne abbiamo parlato con Massimiliano Allievi, Commercialista, Autore di Commercialista 4.0 ed. Il Sole 24 OreIl mercato del lavoro migliora, ma in 10 anni avremo 6,1 milioni di lavoratori in menoIl saldo occupazionale degli ultimi anni è positivo: tra giugno 2021 e giugno 2025 si contano +1,9 milioni di posti di lavoro, con una crescita confermata anche nel primo semestre 2025. Tuttavia, il futuro presenta criticità: nei prossimi 10 anni mancheranno 6,1 milioni di lavoratori a causa del calo demografico. Entro il 2060 la popolazione attiva (20-64 anni) scenderà del 34% e la spesa pensionistica salirà oltre il 17% del Pil al 2040. Già oggi aumentano le difficoltà di reperimento di personale e l’età media dei lavoratori si alza. Le possibili soluzioni: includere donne inattive e Neet nel mercato, rafforzare i servizi sociali, gestire l’invecchiamento, mantenere l’età pensionabile in linea con la legge Fornero. Interviene Maria Rita Testa, docente di demografia all'Università LUISS.Risiko: a che punto siamo?Il risiko bancario prosegue con fusioni e acquisizioni che puntano a rafforzare il business del risparmio gestito, cruciale dopo il taglio dei tassi da parte della BCE. Le concentrazioni garantiscono economie di scala e ampliamento dell’offerta, ma pongono dubbi su benefici per clienti e imprese. Cresce il rischio che i servizi si concentrino sui grandi clienti, lasciando indietro piccole imprese e risparmiatori retail, che si sposteranno verso soluzioni digitali. Intanto la desertificazione bancaria è un problema: 3.415 comuni sono privi di filiali, il settore ha perso 75 mila posti in 20 anni e i finanziamenti alle imprese si sono ridotti di 330 miliardi dal 2011. I sindacati chiedono attenzione, mentre secondo altri la digitalizzazione compensa le chiusure, pur lasciando criticità in alcune aree e per gli anziani. Facciamo il punto con Alberto Grassani, Il Sole 24 Ore
Fall is just around the corner, kids are back in school, football has kicked off and your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is here to continue to tear into the future of independent politics. And American politics. This week, we've got a great conversation with Maine State Senator Rick Bennett, a lifelong Republican and former state party Chair who has recently declared his independence from the GOP and announced a run for Governor. It's a bold move. And becoming a trend we've been focused on for years uniquely on this show. More and more longtime Democrats and Republicans are declaring their independence. Thousands every single day. And more and more candidates for office at all levels. This is a fascinating and inspiring conversation spanning a lot of the stuff that you are going to find yourself nodding along to. Bennett speaks to the growing movement of politically homeless Americans, highlighting his mission to offer common-sense solutions and restore civility and kindness to politics. He also discusses Maine's rich history of independent political leadership, from James Longley to Angus King, and explains why he believes the state is a bellwether for the future of American politics. He candidly shares the challenges of running as an independent, from fundraising to infrastructure, and outlines his top policy priorities for Maine, including the housing crisis, rising energy costs, and education reform. The conversation also touches on an important subject not enough people are thinking about. The very real potential for conflict between state governors and Trump. Bennett affirms his commitment to the people of Maine above all else but this episode is a powerful exploration of "getting-stuff-done". It's the spirit and mindset that defines the independent movement and it's the spirit and mindset we're all going to need to make the change we all know needs to happen. It's the latest conversation in our groundbreaking “Meet the Independents” series following other Independent leaders like Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade, independent candidate for Senate from South Dakota Brian Bengs, Independent candidate for Mayor of New York Jim Walden and Chattanooga, Tennessee Mayor Tim Kelly and more.

If you've listened to this show over the years, chances are that you've heard our guest. If you haven't, get ready for a solid dose of the straight up good stuff. Rob Serra (@SerraRob) is back for the annual 9/11 episode and this one hits hard. Host and founder Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) was there at Ground Zero on 9/11. So was Rob. It was famously his first day on the job. Yes, you read that right, his first day as a New York City firefighter was Tuesday, September 11th, 2001. They didn't meet then, but they were both there and it's played a massive role in their lives and indeed in the lives of every American. If you weren't alive then, it's hard to explain how much the world has changed as a result (more on that in the podcast). But they were there. In the middle of all of the destruction. And listening to them discuss what happened then and what has happened since can teach us all about what it means to be an American— the good and the bad. And as the country experiences the staggering effects of more political violence, and seems more divided than ever, this is a conversation everyone needs to listen to and absorb. It's a gut-check on a nation grappling with its past and its future. It's a raw, authentic conversation about service, sacrifice, and the enduring fight for those who ran toward the fire and the driving call behind why we must always stay vigilant.

We've got one last look back before we plunge into the future. This week we're taking it way, way back to Episode 26 with the amazing inventor Dean Kamen. From Episode 26 - September 26, 2019: Dean Kamen is one of the greatest inventors of our time. He invented the Segway, the first drug infusion pump, and the Slingshot–a water purification device that requires no filters, can turn almost any kind of water into drinking water and can operate using cow dung as fuel. He also invented the LUKE (Life Under Kinetic Evolution) prosthetic arm for the Department of Defense's DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). And now, Dean has invented invented a revolutionary all-terrain electric wheelchair known as the iBOT. He rode to our interview with your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) on the newest version that he unveiled to the world this week in New York–and shares why it can change history not just for the disabled and wounded veterans–but for everyone. Like all our guests, Dean Kamen is an iconic, important and inspiring American. One who's shaped what America has been in the past, is in the present, and more than any other guest we've had so far, he's shaping the future. One of Dean's proudest accomplishments is founding FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), an organization dedicated to motivating the next generation to understand, use and enjoy science and technology. This year FIRST® will serve more than 1 million young people, ages 6 to 18, in more than 86 countries. High-school-aged participants were eligible for more than $50 million in scholarships from over 200 leading colleges, universities, and corporations. Dean Kamen was Elon before Elon. But not all messed up. He's a much better person, he's a much better creator, he's a much better visionary and most importantly he's a helper. -WATCH video of Paul and Dean's conversation. -Learn more about Independent Veterans of America and all of the IVA candidates. -Join the movement.
