Summary

Welcome to the first installment of our groundbreaking “Meet The 2024 Independent Candidates” series—highlighting independent candidates of all kinds, for all levels of office, from all across America. America, meet Jared Young (@VoteJaredYoung). Jared is the independent candidate for Senate from Missouri running against Republican incumbent Senator Josh Hawley and underperforming Democrat Lucas Kunce. It’s a monumental task but he’s focused and he’s organized. He’s got a plan and maybe even a little momentum. It’s a fascinating look behind the scenes of a campaign on the move and a great way to kick-off the series. Hear why he is running, why he thinks he can overcome the odds and maybe most importantly, how he defines independent and what it means to him. If you’re interested in independent politics—or American politics in general—this is a can’t miss. If you’re an independent, you’ve found your home. Your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) rips into all of it in this all new episode of Independent Americans. And hits Speaker of the House Johnson pushing the big Ukraine funding bill through Congress, Trump’s trial, and some national and global security headlines you won’t don’t get from most other news shows… yet.

0:15.4	Welcome to Independent Americans.
0:19.2	Welcome to episode 278. I'm your host, Paul Reikoff. In this episode, we are
0:28.7	launching our 2024 Meet the Independent Candidate series, and that is an exciting effort.
0:40.5	More on that in a second, because there is important breaking news to cover first. Because when it comes to national security, it is always a time
0:48.0	to stay vigilant.
0:49.2	Thank you. That's the sound of cheers in the House of Representatives as they finally voted to send overdue
1:16.3	reinforcements to Ukraine. Finally, the vote was 311 to 112, finally providing over $60 billion

2:37.1	to sell TikTok, which is all good for our allies and all good for America. But it's also embarrassing
2:43.6	that it was all this hard, that 112 elected representatives voted against it. And these delays have cost lives, especially
2:54.2	Ukrainian lives. Our enemies are celebrating this kind of slow, bureaucratic, dysfunctional,
