Summer is officially here and things are getting hot. Too hot. From the assassination of state legislators in Minnesota last week to a potential hot war with Iran to more and more troops deployed into American streets, this is one of the tensest times anyone can remember.
And in tense times it’s good to get a little perspective. And we’ve got the perfect guest to dish it out. Sebastian Junger returns and he’s not holding anything back. He’s been on the show five times and he’s one of host Paul Rieckhoff’s favorite conversations every time.
The best selling author and award winning documentary film maker returns to tear into all of the latest news and headlines. From LA to Ukraine and everywhere in between. It’s an honest and heartfelt deep dive into what it means to be a man, a dad, a patriot and an American in 2025. It’s a wide ranging discussion and it’s the kind of content you can only get here.
America is at a crossroads. Conversations like this can help us pick the right path forward.
Every episode is the truth beyond the headlines–and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It’s content for the 51% of Americans that proudly call themselves independent. And delivers the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.
