YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJack Smith Testifies. ICE is Snatching Kids & Hits Maine. JD Vance Goes to Minneapolis. Elon Trolls Davos. 44% of NFL Players are Independents. Mark Kelly for President?
On this special bonus episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff is joined by retired four-star General Barry McCaffrey for a blunt, wide-ranging conversation about the most urgent national security and democracy questions of 2026.
They break down:
• Trump’s chaotic appearance at Davos and his saber-rattling toward Greenland and Iran.
• How ICE raids from Minneapolis to Maine—and the detention of kids like 5‑year‑old Liam Ramos—are shredding communities and the Constitution.
• The talk of deploying the 11th Airborne toward Minneapolis and the unprecedented politicization of U.S. troops and law enforcement.
• Why NATO as we knew it may be “dead,” why our allies no longer trust us, and how long it will take to rebuild that trust.
• The quiet end of the U.S. mission in Iraq, the lessons of Vietnam and the War on Terror, and the danger of believing war can be “easy” or bloodless.
• Paul also shares updates from his CNN and NewsNation appearances, his work with American Veterans for Ukraine, and his ongoing fight against ICE abuses and attacks on the free press. There are also moments of hope—from Randy Newman’s music to stories of French allies who promise to “be there” when America is in trouble.
If you’re overwhelmed by the blizzard of news and looking for independent truth, this episode is your snowplow.
