11:14Now PlayingTrump launched an unauthorized, unpopular war with Iran, and Independent Americans host and national security expert Paul Rieckhoff joins MSNOW’s “The Weekend” to break down what it means for our troops, our Congress, and our future.
In this special episode, Paul shares a searing on‑air conversation about three fallen American service members, Trump’s choice to hit eight countries in a year, and a Congress that can’t be bothered to hold an emergency session as a new war unfolds. He lays out why this is the worst‑case scenario of an unchecked Trump presidency, why the Constitution is failing as a guardrail, and why both parties—especially House Republicans—must finally step up.
Paul explains how Trump is “all gas, no brakes,” wielding the most powerful military on Earth with almost no oversight—and what could happen if he decides to hit Cuba, Mexico, or anywhere else next.
He connects the dots between foreign policy, domestic politics, and public that’s stunningly silent on issues of war as Trump keeps piling up the targets.
