Summary

Labor Day weekend was nice–if you got to get away or enjoy it. The weather was lovely in most parts of the country. But summer is now over. School is back in session. The craziest election season of our lifetime is upon us. And damn, summer already seems far away. Trump and Harris are bombing away at full throttle now. And fighting for the coveted “swing voters” in swing states. But who are these powerful and mysterious voters? What do these mostly independent Americans really care about most? Why do we have to keep talking about Robert F Kennedy Jr? Why is Trump’s Arlington controversy still in the news? What did Senator John McCain’s son have to say? Can we please go back to summer?!?! And meanwhile, war continues to rage around the world. Including involving US troops in…Iraq?!?! While Israel recovered six hostages brutally murdered by Hammas, Ukrainian civilians continue to be bombed and rocketed by Putin. The world is on fire and our broken political system is only making it worse. So as summer fades and fall’s chill creeps in, our host, Paul Rieckhoff, will get you ready for a new school year, a wild fall election season, the 24th anniversary of 9/11 next week, AND the start of football! Because we’re all gonna need a break from news and politics this fall especially. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
