Summary

It has been a very stressful fall in America. For everyone. The election has left us all exhausted and exasperated. Especially independents stuck in the middle of the partisan madness. And whether your guy won, your gal lost, or you’re feeling like we’re all losing our damn minds–we got you. It’s a good time to take a step back from the cable news nonsense, shut off the social media, reflect on the madness, prepare for the madness that’s sure to come, and to be thankful. So before/as you head into the Thanksgiving break, grab a quick, healthy and soothing helping of independent Thanksgiving perspective with our host, Paul Rieckhoff. He’s been all over the media for the last few weeks helping America (and the world) understand this unprecedenteded moment. And what’s coming next. Including a sneak preview of some big guests coming up next month. He’ll serve up a big heaping helping of holiday perspective on the Matt Gaetz implosion, the continuing Hegseth controversy, the rise of Joe Rogan and Elon Musk, and all the fights arond the fights. He’ll tell you about an urgent story or two you may have missed, give you some independent perspective on the latest Trump cabinet nominations, and share reasons to be hopeful. Welcome to the independent Thanksgiving family table. Gobble gobble! Every episode is the truth beyond the headlines–and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It’s content for the 51% of Americans that proudly call themselves independent. And delivers the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact.
