54:02Now PlayingAdmiral James Stavridis — former NATO Supreme Allied Commander and author of the new novel 2084 — returns to Independent Americans for a no-BS briefing on the state of the world and the state of the republic. Paul and the Admiral get into why the Iran war has gone badly, why Venezuela and Cuba may actually move toward democracy, the inexplicable purge of General Chris Donahue and Army Chief Randy George, the Hegseth-Vance palace intrigue that may explain it, and the three circuit breakers — the military, the courts, and the American people — standing between Trump and an Insurrection Act moment. Plus the case for a four-party America, why the political center is closer to itself than to its own extremes, and why hope is still the oxygen of democracy at 250.
