    Paul welcomes back CBS News national security coordinating producer (and Marine infantry veteran) James LaPorta, one of the most tenacious and respected reporters in the national security and veterans' space. From the CBS bureau in Washington, LaPorta brings exclusive reporting, deep sourcing and hard-won combat perspective as Paul rips through a wild 48 hours: Trump's lie-filled prime-time address and new “warrior dividend” checks, a dignified transfer at Dover, rising tensions in Venezuela, new Ukraine aid, Trump's sinking approval and fresh mass shootings in Sydney and at Brown University. LaPorta then walks listeners through what's really happening off the coast of Venezuela—carrier strike groups, Marine Expeditionary Units, submarines and air sorties lighting up flight trackers—and why the U.S. posture is “unprecedented” and eerily reminiscent of the run-up to Iraq. The conversation digs into the escalating war over truth: new Pentagon efforts to restrict press access and punish basic reporting, conspiracy theorists like Laura Loomer moving from Infowars-style harassment into official briefing rooms, and what that means for accountability and safety. In an exclusive segment, LaPorta reveals new details on 18 Navy SEALs disciplined after racist memes targeted a Black teammate, what command climate surveys show about repeated harassment, and how it collides with Trump Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's push to “de‑woke‑ify” the force and downplay symbols like nooses and swastikas. Paul and James connect it all to recruiting, morale and trust—especially for troops of color and Jewish service members—while talking about FOIA as a weapon for regular citizens and the need to “FOIA and Find Out.” They close with signature IA humanity: LaPorta on Parkland, his Ghostbusters‑obsessed son and a day with the original Ecto‑1, and Paul on watching The Mandalorian with his son as a reminder to keep finding “something good” in anxious times.

    In this moving and important episode, Paul Rieckhoff sits down with his old friend, acclaimed and courageous director Craig Renaud to discuss his HBO documentary, Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud, which honors his brother Brent, a brave and renowned journalist killed in Ukraine in 2022. Reflecting on two decades of shared history covering global conflicts, they explore the soaring cost of war and the increasingly dangerous environment for reporters. The conversation highlights a troubling shift toward restricted press access and state-led propaganda, emphasizing why "unflinching, human" truth-telling is more vital—and perilous—than ever for both troops and democracy. This conversation is as powerful as it gets. Craig shares raw, deeply personal reflections on making a film about his brother's murder, how the editing room became a place of grief and healing, and why he felt a duty to show the reality of Brent's death exactly the way Brent would have wanted: unflinching, human, and in service of others caught in the crossfire. It's a story that reveals the soaring cost of war, a brutally dangerous new era for reporters, and why truth-telling now takes more courage than ever. From the Arkansan National Guard in Iraq, to the war on drugs, to the war in Ukraine, Craig has seen it all. And documented it.  This is the kind of conversation that transcends politics and party. This is the kind of conversation that everyone should have to hear. This is the kind of conversation that reminds us of the price that is paid by the vigilant—and why we can never forget them and should always celebrate the best parts of them.

    This is a huge and news-making show. Recorded just before Kelly's pivotal meeting with Hegseth in Washington. When Donald Trump used the power of the presidency to call for Senator Mark Kelly's execution, he crossed a dangerous new line—and sent a chilling message to millions of veterans and every American who dares to speak out. In this all–new episode, Independent Americans host and Army veteran Paul Rieckhoff sits down with the Arizona Senator, Navy combat pilot and astronaut for a raw, unfiltered, and urgent conversation about retribution, free speech, and the future of American democracy.​ Just hours before his first face-to-face meeting with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth since Hegseth and Trump launched an unprecedented military investigation into Kelly.  Senator Kelly explains why Trump's move is not just an attack on him, but on every retired service member who might now think twice before speaking his/her mind. He breaks down how Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are trying to weaponize the Uniform Code of Military Justice against political opponents, and why he refuses to be silenced—even if that means facing a “kangaroo court” in uniform.​ Rieckhoff presses Kelly on the looming risk of a new war with Venezuela, what Trump might do while Congress is out of session, and why the administration still hasn't offered any clear legal or strategic justification for putting American troops in harm's way. Kelly connects the dots between Trump's past calls to kill the families of terrorists, shoot protesters in the legs, and “just kill people,” and the dangerous culture now spreading inside the Pentagon.​ This is a critical, behind-the-scenes briefing with the Senator on the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees who is directly in Trump's crosshairs—and who is still showing up to hold this White House to account. It's also a powerful message to every independent, veteran, military family, and engaged citizen about courage, oversight, and what it really means to stay vigilant in this moment.

    After a weekend of atrocities from the Hanukkah massacre in Sydney to another campus shooting at Brown University, new American combat deaths in Syria, Trump's escalating boat strikes, looming conflict with Venezuela and brutal VA job cuts, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff turns to someone who can help us breathe, process and fight forward: democracy and respect advocate, Baratunde Thurston.​ Baratunde is an Emmy-nominated thought-leader, writer, comedian, technologist, culture critic and host of PBS's America Outdoors, as well as the creator of How to Citizen and Life with Machines, his new YouTube/AI series exploring how we live well with powerful technology. In this wide-ranging “Manosphere Monday” conversation, Paul and Baratunde unpack how to stay calm in all this chaos, how to citizen in a time of mass shootings and democratic backsliding, and why our real power is collective—not just a vote every two to four years.​ They dive into the toxic “manosphere” model of masculinity and Baratunde's devastating description of Pete Hegseth as chasing dominance instead of service, strength and restraint. They contrast that with the leadership of others who embody courage, compassion and a longer view of democracy and the planet.​ Is AI a Christmas present or dastardly coal in our stocking? Baratunde breaks down AI in plain language: why AI itself isn't taking your job, why AI is really about power and the human leaders making choices, and how we can “activate multiplayer mode” instead of being kept in fearful single-player mode. He explains how AI can help with everyday problems—from home repairs to navigating systems—while also forcing us to ask deeper questions about what we value, what education is for, and how we want to live.

    In this episode I share a very human, very imperfect moment I had with a traffic control guy outside my house, one of those interactions where two egos meet, both think they're right, and things go downhill fast.He was frustrated. I was frustrated. And instead of choosing kindness, clarity, or calm, went high and mighty. Righteous. Chest out. Ego leading the charge.And he did the same. Two strangers, both convinced we were justified, making each other's day crap within 30 seconds.That's the work of living authentically, catching yourself when you've acted out of alignment, owning it, and doing something about it. And as Steve and I went for our walk, I knew exactly what I needed to do: apologise.Not because I was “wrong.” Not because he “deserved it.” But because I know how I want to show up in this world and that moment wasn't it.This episode is a reminder that authenticity isn't perfection, it's repair. It's self-awareness put into action. It's choosing who you want to be, even after an ego slip.Have a listen.

    New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill—Naval Academy grad, former helicopter pilot, mom of four and one of America's most important rising leaders—joins Paul just one day before the Army-Navy game to talk about service, courage and standing up to Donald Trump in real time. She explains why Trump's rush toward a war with Venezuela is “almost incomprehensible,” why the mounting evidence of war crimes under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is so dangerous for the military, and how veterans like Sherrill and Senator Mark Kelly are pushing back and reminding troops they must follow the law and the Constitution—not illegal orders.​ Sherrill breaks down how she won New Jersey, why independents trusted her to freeze utility rate hikes on day one, and what servant leadership looks like when you've actually worn the uniform and still shop at Costco, order Halloween costumes online, and worry about your kids' mental health like everyone else. She and Paul dig into the pressure Trump is putting on the Guard, the stakes for governors like Wes Moore and Sherrill if deployments expand, and why this moment demands governors who understand national security, not partisan theatrics.​ It's Football Friday, so Paul and Governor-Elect Sherrill also make NFL picks, trash-talk each other over Army-Navy, and preview next year's Army-Navy Game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey—with Sherrill promising to “do it up right” as host and unapologetic Navy fan. Plus: Paul's “dad hack” Christmas-tree clapper tip, Sherrill's “something good” about seeing her midshipmen in Baltimore, and why this episode is a blueprint for how veterans can still rise, lead and win in a Trump-dominated era.

    CBS Justice Correspondent Scott MacFarlane joins Independent Americans for a hard-hitting breakdown of Trump's risky Venezuelan tanker seizure, the secret DOJ legal memos behind recent strikes, and the unprecedented blanket pardons that wiped out the largest criminal investigation in American history. Host Paul Rieckhoff also unpacks a near-trillion-dollar defense bill, Trump's blocked federalization of the California National Guard, and fresh pressure on Venezuela's Maduro, all converging in a volatile national security moment.​ Scott explains how DOJ's refusal to release its legal guidance on the Venezuela operations is fueling mistrust, why bipartisan ethics experts and the Senate Judiciary Committee are demanding transparency, and how the administration's strategy of funneling information to friendly outlets undermines accountability. The conversation dives into Trump's inauguration-day mass clemency for January 6 defendants, the still-murky arrest in the January 5 Capitol pipe bomb case, and the norm-shattering removal of traditional Pentagon reporters in favor of a new “propaganda press corps.”​ Amid the heavy news, Paul and Scott still make space for life and hope—from Jalen Hurts' rough season and Philip Rivers' surprise Colts comeback to Pete Alonso's move to the Orioles and the energy of Army–Navy week in Baltimore. They close with “something good”: NORAD's annual Santa Tracker volunteer effort and Scott's 15-year-old asking for a CD player and physical albums, a small reminder that the next generation still wants something real and tangible.

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

    Governor Wes Moore is back—and this time, the stakes are even higher. As Trump tests the limits of presidential power, perhaps the most exciting and inspiring Governor in America joins Paul Rieckhoff to explain how far the White House can really go in deploying the National Guard into American cities, what is and is not a “lawful order,” and how governors can (and must) hold the line. From war-crime allegations to loose talk about striking Venezuela, Moore lays out what responsible, principled leadership looks like when America's global reputation is collapsing fast.​ Recorded during Army–Navy week, Paul and Wes dig into why that game should be “mandatory viewing” for anyone who wants to understand real patriotism, service, and brotherhood. Moore talks candidly about his role as commander in chief of Maryland's Guard, what he'd do if he were president right now, and why he sees himself as a “healer” for all 6.5 million Marylanders—not a partisan warrior.​ They also dive deep on Moore's pioneering work with men and boys—from getting more men into classrooms and hospitals to building healthier models of masculinity that steer young guys away from grievance and extremism. Moore explains how Maryland went from 43rd in unemployment to one of the lowest jobless rates in America, cut violent crime and teacher shortages, and launched a first-in-the-nation “Feds to Eds” program that turns fired federal workers into urgently needed teachers.​ And, talks openly about the struggles of his beloved Baltimore Ravens.  Plus, Paul opens the show hitting the hottest stories: Trump's refusal to release the December 2nd boat strike video, the latest on Ukraine's fight and Zelensky's resolve, the Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury files, RFK Jr.'s pull-up stunts, Nancy Mace's TSA tirade, Golden Globe snubs, and a wild NFL Monday night. And they both close with “Something Good”—that'll leave you feeling warm for the holidays and more hopeful about the days ahead.  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.

    Holy Indignation, Hanukkah, and Cleansing the Temple of Your Heart | KIB 509 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake share a timely word about holy indignation, the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah), and the urgent need to cleanse the temple of our hearts in these perilous last days. Mary Lou begins by sharing what she continues to see in prayer—a mushroom cloud and the possibility of suitcase nuclear devices slipped into America through open borders. Rather than yielding to fear, the Lakes call the remnant to focused intercession, asking God to expose and thwart every hidden plot and scheme of the enemy. From there, Mary Lou walks through the story of the Maccabees, their guerrilla warfare tactics, and their divinely inspired strategies that turned weakness into strength. The Lakes connect this to our own call to stand against Mystery Babylon, fight spiritual battles with God-given wisdom, and cleanse the temple of compromise in our lives. Dr. Lake then unpacks the biblical and prophetic meaning of Hanukkah, the desecration and rededication of the temple, and the way this foreshadows the abomination of desolation and the rise of the Antichrist. He also addresses biblical dietary laws, the temple of the Holy Spirit, and how Mystery Babylon uses "strange fire" and unclean practices to defile believers. The heart of this episode is a powerful teaching on holy indignation—what it is, what it is not, and how it differs from carnal anger and internet "bickering." Using examples like Moses, Phineas, Nehemiah, Jesus cleansing the Temple, Paul, David and Goliath, Elijah, and Samson, Dr. Lake shows how Spirit-led indignation is rooted in God's holiness, love, and covenant faithfulness—not personal ego or offense. Mary Lou then shares from her own journey of healing as a survivor of severe trauma and programming, encouraging those who feel too broken or disqualified that Jesus can cleanse, heal, and reclaim every part of the temple. She models how to stand in your God-given authority, reject what the enemy programmed, and insist that every part of your being belongs to Jesus alone. The episode closes with a call for the remnant to walk in the fear of the LORD, as described in Malachi 3:16–18, allowing God to write our conversations and responses in His book of remembrance and to mark us as His treasured possession in the days ahead. If you've been beat down by your past, wounded by what calls itself "the church," or confused by the anger and division you see online, this message will help you discern between fleshly outrage and true holy indignation that burns away apathy, compromise, and tolerance of sin.

    Joseph . . . had in mind to divorce her quietly. — Matthew 1:19 Having looked at Luke 1 already this month, we know about the angel's announcement to Mary and the miraculous conception of her son, who would be named Jesus.But Joseph did not know all of this at first. To him, Mary's story must have sounded ridiculous: Really? A virgin birth?Joseph knew that the law was on his side and that he had every right to end his pledged relationship with Mary. But he was also righteous enough to understand grace.Righteous people understand the need to protect others despite the apparent circumstances. Joseph intended to do the best he could with a bad situation. He felt he had to confront what he saw as Mary's sin while also living with as much integrity as one could muster when his world had turned upside down.Have you been there? We all face difficult decisions at times. Even seeking to live righteously does not guarantee a life free from hard choices.But God, in his grace, revealed to Joseph that Mary's child was part of a bigger plan. In fact, God invited Joseph to be part of that plan: to let the world know of forgiveness through Jesus' birth. Grace invited him into that story. It can do the same for you. God of truth, in a sinful world our vision of righteousness is sometimes cloudy, and our obedience is imperfect. Give us the courage to follow you even when faithfulness is difficult. Amen.

    This episode goes straight to the heart of Trump's chaotic Pentagon with one of the most respected national security reporters in America, Barbara Starr. In this all–new Manosphere Monday, Paul and Barbara dig into the debate around the boat strikes off Venezuela, war crime allegations, “Signalgate,” Trump's new defense strategy and what happens when the guardrails that protect U.S. troops start coming off.​ Barbara explains why she's never seen anything like Pete Hegseth's drama-fueled Pentagon, how the new “propaganda press corps” replacing traditional reporters in the briefing room is changing the flow of truth, and why Trump's walk-back from NATO looks like a gift-wrapped present to Vladimir Putin. They connect the dots from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, January 6th and today's surprise-attack risks—from Venezuela to China and Taiwan—and lay out what real vigilance and leadership should look like in 2025.​ Paul takes listeners through the latest on the controversial boat strikes, the escalating partisan fight on Capitol Hill, the National Guard deployment hearings, and the 3,000-page defense bill barreling through Congress while Trump hands himself a FIFA “peace prize” on Fox Sports. Barbara breaks down what's at stake for apolitical troops, the dismantling of military legal and diversity safeguards, and the danger of turning the Secretary of Defense into a full-time video performer instead of a wartime leader.​ They also zoom out to the bigger cultural moment—from Pearl Harbor remembrance and World War II's “greatest generation” to the rise of women's flag football and the Dodgers' World Series run—and close with “something good,” including Paul's unapologetic love for *NSYNC's holiday album and Barbara's countdown to spring training.​ 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.

    Independent U.S. Senate candidate from Idaho, Army veteran and telecom leader Todd Achilles returns to Independent Americans for a hard-charging Football Friday that cuts through the chaos. Todd and host Paul Rieckhoff break down Trump's unauthorized boat strikes and the unfolding Signalgate scandal, why Secretary Hegseth is “fundamentally unfit,” and how Congress has surrendered its War Powers as America edges toward a conflict with Venezuela.​ From ICE raids zip-tying kids at a rural Idaho horse track to a broken visa system that powers the state's only truly strategic industry—agriculture—Todd explains what this looks like on the ground for red hats, trucker hats, hard hats and cowboy hats across all 44 Idaho counties. He lays out a simple two-by-two matrix for understanding the Venezuela mission, why this should be a DEA and Coast Guard problem, and how misusing the military puts Idaho Guard troops and all Americans at risk.​ Paul and Todd go deep on why independents are the real solution to Trump, RFK Jr., Mamdani and the extremes of both parties—and how one independent veteran in the Senate could become the decisive fulcrum on confirmations, war powers and corruption. Todd details his David-vs-Goliath run against Senator Jim Risch—the fourth-oldest and one of the wealthiest members of the Senate who hasn't held an in-person town hall since 2009—and why national Republicans are suddenly “scared” of Idaho's independent wave.​ It's also Football Friday: Paul and Todd pick Boise State on the Smurf Turf, Texas Tech, Georgia and undefeated Indiana, and talk about why college football in Idaho is as local—and as political—as it gets. They close with “something good,” honoring D-Day medic and Native American hero Charles Shay, the powerful service tradition of Idaho's tribes, and the growing, hopeful movement of Americans breaking out of partisan trenches and declaring their independence.

    In this episode, Dr. Harrison Perkins speaks about his new book A Penitent People: The Doctrine of Repentance (Christian Focus). Perkins brings the warmth of pastoral ministry together with the clarity of confessional Reformed theology. He explains that repentance is often misunderstood—as if it were a dreary duty or an entrance requirement for grace. Instead, Scripture presents repentance as a saving grace, a divine gift through which Christ frees his people from sin's enslaving power and draws them into renewed joy. Repentance is not the price we pay to come to Christ; it is the fruit of having already been brought to Him by the Spirit through faith. Together they explore key biblical passages (Psalm 51, Psalm 38, 2 Corinthians 7, Luke 3), the Reformed confessions, unhealthy distortions of penance, and the pastoral challenge of helping people see repentance not as a terror but as a mercy. Repentance doesn't merely involve feeling guilty—it involves embracing Christ, turning from sin, and tasting the joy that accompanies renewal. They also discuss what a repentant church culture looks like: a community marked by humility, honesty, grace, and a shared approach to the Lord's Table as those who come on equal footing—sinners saved by a gracious Redeemer. Harrison Perkins (PhD, Queen's University Belfast; MDiv, Westminster Seminary California) is the pastor of Oakland Hills Community Church in Farmington Hills, Michigan. He is the author of Reformed Covenant Theology: A Systematic Introduction (Lexham Press 2024), Catholicity and the Covenant of Works (Oxford University Press, 2020), Righteous by Design: Covenantal Merit and Adam's Original Integrity (2024), Created for Communion with God: The Promise of Genesis 1–2 (Lexham Press, 2025), and a number of popular and academic articles.

    Retired Brigadier General Shawn A. Harris is back on the front lines—this time in politics. From his grass-fed cattle farm in Rockmart, Georgia to the halls of the Pentagon, Harris joins Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) to break down SignalGate, the deadly US boat strikes, the War Powers fight and the growing danger of sloppy, politicized military leadership.​ Running as a Democrat in Georgia's 14th Congressional District—the open seat Marjorie Taylor Greene is abandoning—Harris explains why leadership, integrity and service still matter in a district that's been defined by chaos, extremism and cable hits. He talks candidly about why he chose not to “change t‑shirts,” what it's like to have two sons still in uniform, and why independent and Reagan Republicans are lining up behind his campaign.​ Rieckhoff and Harris also explore whether Congress is quietly edging America toward another war in the Caribbean, whether the boat strike could rise to a war crime, and what real accountability for the current Secretary of Defense should look like. They dig into the Pentagon press rules fight, the New York Times lawsuit, the arrest of the January 6 pipe bomb suspect, and what “dead men don't talk” really means for intelligence and national security.​ Then, in a powerful “something good,” Harris salutes his hometown Early County Bobcats and the high school football coach who helped turn hopes and dreams into a life of service—sparking a heartfelt conversation about how sports, mentors and community can literally save young lives.

King returns to the show to answer tough questions, share the latest from inside the Senate, and break down Hegseth's "kill everybody" directive amid shifting stories on the strikes that killed dozens, including survivors in the water—explicitly cited as illegal in the DoD Law of War Manual.  Paul presses King on the need for public hearings, Admiral Bradley's pending testimony about strike orders, the mysterious resignation of Southern Command Commander, Navy Admiral Holsey—and Hegseth's calendar at the time of the strikes, questioning his leadership as Venezuela tensions escalate with U.S. naval buildup. King slams Congress's abdication of war powers, Trump's "garbage" insults toward Somalis, and the purge of Pentagon legal experts, urging independents to hold the line for accountability. This is a conversation with a powerful, honorable and pivotal Senator that is at the center of all it. The lone independent Senator that can be a unique bridge to real bi-partisan accountability.  Millions of Americans—and especially Independent Americans—are looking to King now to meet this moment.
