28:44Now PlayingTrump’s deeply unpopular war in Iran is escalating, US troops are being wounded in large numbers, and the war on the truth is raging—so Paul Rieckhoff is back with a fast, fiery solo episode to help you cut through the chaos, fueled by G. Love & Special Sauce and fresh off a big night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. From new reporting on undisclosed American casualties and oil shocks in the Strait of Hormuz to Trump’s all‑gas‑no‑brakes foreign policy and a Congress with “no plan to stop him,” Paul breaks down what’s really happening, why it feels like Iraq all over again, and what eternal vigilance looks like for you right now.
He digs into Trump’s forever war, the overextended US military, and the historic unpopularity of the Iran conflict—less support than Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan—while calling out senators who act more like pundits than leaders and demanding a real plan to constrain presidential war powers. Along the way he blasts Senator Ron Johnson for blocking the bipartisan Richard Starr Act that would ensure wounded combat veterans get both the disability and retirement pay they’ve earned, pulls back the curtain on his latest Colbert appearance and his push to draft Stephen to run as an independent against Lindsey Graham, spotlights Independent Veterans of America, and still finds room for joy—from USA sled hockey’s Paralympic dominance and the World Baseball Classic to Dr. Dre’s long‑awaited billionaire status and what the “year of the billionaire” says about America now.
