Scott MacFarlane. 82nd Airborne Heads to Iran.
On opening day of baseball, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Trump’s expanding forever war in Iran, new deployments of the 82nd Airborne, and the rising human cost most politicians and media are ignoring. From troops headed into combat zones to ICE crackdowns at airports, Russia’s latest massive drone and missile barrage against Ukraine, tech companies exploiting kids, and a shameless candidate joking about veteran suicide, Paul connects the dots on how Trump’s culture war at home and forever war abroad are making America less safe—and why this is a time to stay vigilant.
