1:00Now Playing336. Mayor Yemi Mobolade. The Independent Immigrant Mayor in the Crosshairs of Trump’s Immigration Crackdowns. Trump’s Golden…Dome. Another Attack on Jews. Senator Redneck for Governor? GOP Pressure on Ukraine Increases. Help Honor Baby Bronx Payne.
Summer is almost officially here and things are already heating up. From the increasing pressure from Republicans to back Ukraine (a massive win for everyone) to Trump’s new half-baked “Golden Dome” defense system to another horrific antisemitic attack on two Israeli embassy staffers in DC, your fearless and always independent host Paul Rieckhoff has you covered.
And as the onslaught of crazy news continues to drop, it’s easy to lose sight of the wins. To forget about the small victories that keep you during the hard times. And so it seemed like the perfect moment to bring back a returning champion. He’s one of the most prominent independents in the country—and his national profile is continuing to grow. Mayor Yemi Mobolade is back and he’s here to check in and let you know how it’s going—and what he thinks about the future of the movement and the challenges and opportunities the times are presenting.
It’s a deep look at the state of the independent movement, at what is happening in cities nationwide as Trump continues to expand his reach (especially on immigration), and maybe most importantly, at what is possible for independent political leaders. It’s the kind of conversation you’re only going to get here. Welcome to the beginning of the Summer of 2025.
