2:53Now PlayingFrom a quiet day in New York City that doesn’t feel like a nation at war to 50,000 U.S. troops fighting in and around Iran, this episode breaks down how Donald Trump is escalating deployments across the Middle East and eyeing new targets like Colombia while America goes about life as usual. Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff digs into the expanding forever wars, the growing bipartisan backlash against boots on the ground, and why countries like Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Ecuador, and now Colombia are on Trump’s 2026 Western Hemisphere agenda. Then, legendary WWE hardcore icon Mick Foley returns for an extended, unfiltered conversation about leaving WWE over its ties to Trump, speaking out against ICE, calling on Americans to choose kindness, and challenging what it really means to be “tough” in the Trump era. Foley shares powerful stories, including a classic Reggie Jackson moment, as he joins the chorus of voices from Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly to AOC and Elizabeth Warren pushing back on regime change wars and demanding no more boots on the ground in Iran. If you’re looking for inspiration to fight back, support our troops and their families, and stay vigilant in a moment when Americans might finally unite against forever war, this is the must-watch conversation you don’t want to miss. #IndependentAmericans
