    House Votes to Extend Warrantless Surveillance on You. Anti-Vax RFK Jr Hates DEI. Mamdani vs the Rich. Hegseth’s Fight with the Pope Continues. Zelensky Calls for War Crimes Tribunal. Trump says he needs expanded spying powers “for our national security.” But are you really good with this government spying on you, with Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and the nationalist crew peeking into your life in the name of “patriotism”? In this fiery solo “Rebel Yell Friday” episode 495, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Trump’s new Iran deal spin and the fight over the Strait of Hormuz, the dangerous 10‑day FISA surveillance extension, the purge of American generals, and ICE’s ongoing culture of cruelty—from gassing protesters and kicking in doors to detaining an 85‑year‑old WWII widow. He rips into RFK Jr.’s unhinged anti-vax crusade, calls out attacks on NPR, PBS, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, and explains why huge new donations to public media are a win for democracy. From Ukraine’s brutal night under 300 drones and 19 ballistic missiles to the Pope’s social media smackdown of Hegseth, this is national security and politics analysis you won’t get on party-line shows. Paul also brings you some badly needed light to contrast all that heat. He spotlights New York City Mayor Mamdani’s new “tax the rich” pied-à-terre tax that targets vacant $5M+ luxury pads to fund childcare, cleaner streets and safer neighborhoods—and explains why independent, populist ideas like that are catching fire while both parties fail us. Paul salutes President Zelensky’s call for a global war crimes tribunal, leads a first-of-its-kind podcast moment of silence for Ukraine’s murdered children, and then closes with “something good”: the return of Avengers: Doomsday, NHL and NBA playoffs, downtown Little League opening day, and a reminder that America is a team sport. If you’re among the 45% of Americans who are independent—or just independent-curious—this fast, fun, and relentless Friday episode will help you stay a step ahead, stay fired up, and stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump’s Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul’s work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

    GOP Blocks War Powers Vote Again. Will Dems Blow It? Independent’s Opportunity. Stock Market Soars. More Boat Strikes. Mamdani Cancels NYC Vets Parade. Queen Latifah: UNITY. Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff sits down with journalist, author, and former CNN anchor and Daily Beast Editor John Avlon—now with The Bulwark— for a fast, insightful, and hopeful conversation about how to fix American politics—before it breaks us. From Iran and the spiraling Middle East crisis, to Trump’s second term, to the Democrats’ brand problem, Avlon brings his “How to Fix It” mindset to moderates, independents, veterans, and frustrated voters who are tired of the bullshit and hungry for reality-based solutions. They dig into the rise of independent voters, the weakness of the Democrat brand, the failure of both parties to provide real leadership, the dangers of performative extremism, and what Teddy Roosevelt’s “man in the arena” can teach us about citizenship, courage, and showing up in 2026 and 2028. They also get personal. Avlon opens up about running for Congress on Long Island, what he learned knocking on doors as a Democrat in a purple district, and why he still believes in persuasion politics in an age of rage clicks and echo chambers. He talks about raising kids in a deeply political household, the strain and purpose of public service, and how patriots can reclaim words like “freedom” and “democracy” from the extremes. If you’re an independent, a disillusioned Democrat or Republican, or just someone trying to stay informed without losing your mind, this episode will give you information, inspiration, and impact—and help you stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump’s Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul’s work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

    WTF Wednesday. JD Vance Loves Putin. Gov Shapiro Bringing UFC to PA. Trump is NATO’s Big Monster Red Ball. Plus: Celebrating Jackie Robinson Day.

    On this "WTF Wednesday," Paul Rieckhoff is joined by the "Great and Powerful" Senator Angus King of Maine to pull back the curtain on a Senate in "total dereliction of duty." As the U.S. Navy deploys 41% of its entire fleet to enforce a blockade against Iran, King—the only true independent in the Senate—sounds the alarm on a war he calls "patently illegal." From the basement hideaway of the U.S. Capitol, King explains why the Biden-Trump era of "all gas, no brakes" foreign policy is crushing the global economy and why Congress has completely abdicated its constitutional responsibility to the American people.

    Beyond the front lines of the Middle East, we dive into the "Battle-Tested Ingenuity" of Ukraine and why the U.S. military must start learning from their real-time drone innovations. We also break down the rising independent movement in America, the collapse of small independent colleges, and the intersection of UFC culture and politics. To wrap up, we honor the legacy of Jackie Robinson on the anniversary of his MLB debut, reminding us that courage is contagious and independence is a path to victory.
