Summary

Welcome back to our groundbreaking “Meet The 2024 Independent Candidates” series—highlighting independent candidates of all kinds, for all levels of office, from all across America. So far in the series we’ve met Dan Osborn, Shelane Etchison, Jared Young, Marcus Carter and Kodi Sawin. They all represent the true independent spirit. And we’ve got another great one for you in this episode. America, meet Tyrell Hicks, independent candidate for Florida’s House of Representatives for the 68th District. He’s a Marine veteran and a man on a mission. And while he understands how hard that mission is going to be, he’s not backing down. And he’s got a smart and responsible perspective that we’ve honestly never heard from another politician. You’re going to love his candor, his humility and his fire. Because he’s a TRUE Independent American—and an inspiring, next-generation leader we all need. And before that conversation, with humor and objectivity, Paul powerfully and independently rips into Biden’s historic address to the nation, the rapid nomination of Kamala Harris, why she might struggled with independents, who she should pick for VP to capture more independents, JD Vance’s dud of a launch, Hulk Hogan and a very unusual Republican National Convention, RFK Jr’s newest bad news, and much more. It’s a show that avoids the partisanship—and pulls no punches. It's straight talk for chaotic times. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It’s content for the 51% of Americans that now call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues. This is another pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics and inspiration. -Get extra content, connect with guests, events, merch discounts and support this show that speaks truth to power by joining us on Patreon. -Watch video of Paul and Tyrell’s full conversation. -Visit Tyrell’s campaign website and support his brave and noble fight. -See Paul’s latest weekly appearance on NewsNation with Connell McShane -Check #LookForTheHelpers on Twitter.

0:15.4	Welcome to Independent Americans.
0:19.0	Welcome to episode 291. I'm your host Paul Reichoff this feels like the
0:28.0	political month that will never end every day of politics feels like the longest and
0:34.5	craziest and weirdest day of the year and there's still time left before July is over.
0:41.0	But every day, there's new crazy information, news, and drama.
0:47.1	And now is most definitely a time to stay vigilant.
0:52.6	When you elect to meet in this office, I promise to always level with you, to tell you
0:59.0	the truth.
1:01.0	And the truth, the sacred cause of this country is larger than any one of us.
1:07.0	And those of us who cherish that cause, cherish it so much, a cause of American democracy itself, must unite to protect it.
1:17.2	Yes, we must indeed unite to protect the cause of American democracy.
1:23.5	But damn, it's getting harder and harder by the day.

1:32.1	And if you didn't watch it, it was painful to watch again.
1:37.2	Every time we watch him now, it's painful to watch again, sadly.
1:43.7	I don't know if most Americans could see past his health tonight,
1:47.2	because he didn't look great again.

1:54.8	effectively finish his term.
1:57.0	And it was a speech that didn't help him, or America, sadly.
