The Super Bowl is over and the Chiefs are the champs. MAGA is sad about that for some reason, but don’t worry they’ll have something new to be upset about soon enough. From mysterious new Russian space nukes, to Biden’s old age to another looming government shutdown. It’s a lot. And then throw Trump’s 91 felony indictments on top of that and it’s nearly impossible to keep track of. But never fear vigilant listener, we’ve got just the answer. An expert in all things law, Trump and national security. She’s a returning favorite and she’s bringing the heat. Asha Rangappa (@AshaRangappa_) is our guest. A true American badass, she is an Assistant Dean and Senior Lecturer at Yale University’s Jackson School of Global Affairs and a former Associate Dean at Yale Law School. She served as a Special Agent in the New York Division of the FBI, specializing in counterintelligence investigations. Her work involved assessing threats to national security, conducting classified investigations on suspected foreign agents, and performing undercover work.  She’s the perfect guest to break it all down before the trials start (or don’t in some cases) and get you caught up and up to speed on all things Trump. From DC to Georgia she gives her straight and often sobering assessment of the situation ahead and how and when it will unfold.  Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) provides light to contrast the heat. It’s independent content for independent Americans. And every episode delivers a dose of the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. This is another insightful pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans will continue to be your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.  Stay vigilant, America.  -Watch Paul and Asha’s conversion on YouTube. -Asha’s excellent Substack The Freedom Academy with Asha Rangappa -See us at SXSW: Independents: Wielding the Power to End Polarization - Mar 9, 20244:00pm – 5:00pm CT Battle Scars & Sacred Plants: Veterans Championing Psychedelics for PTSD - 12 MAR from 10-11a at 800 Congress -Get extra content, connect with guests, attend exclusive events, get merch discounts and support this critical show that speaks truth to power by joining us on Patreon.
