27:45Now PlayingICE is macing protesters at a preschool in Minneapolis, drive-by macing activists in Phoenix, and expanding its reach while a VA nurse named Alex Pretti lies dead and the agents who killed him remain unnamed. Rep. Ilhan Omar has been assaulted, the House Freedom Caucus is openly backing Trump’s use of the Insurrection Act, and the 11th Airborne quietly sits on standby for Minneapolis.
In this all-new solo episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff breaks down:
• The latest on the killing of Alex Pretti and why ICE must be defunded and disbanded
• How political violence against elected officials is becoming a national security crisis
The Freedom Caucus’ Insurrection Act letter and what it signals for 2026
• The staggering toll in Ukraine, Iran’s brutal crackdowns, and Trump’s threats toward Cuba
Weighs in on Bill Belichick being denied first-ballot Hall of Fame status
• Celebrates athletes like Steph Curry, Steve Kerr, Tyrese Haliburton, Karl-Anthony Towns and Victor Wembanyama for speaking out against the killing of Alex Pretti and rising state violence
If you’re an independent—or independent curious—this is your show. If you’re a young man being targeted by extremists, ICE, or the far right, this is your alternative to Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, and the Oath Keepers.
