Summary

The holidays are here and for long-time listeners, that means one thing and one thing only. The legend! The iconic actor who played George Constanza on Seinfeld--friend of this show—conscience for America—and American icon: Jason Alexander (@IJasonAlexander) is back for his annual Festivus visit and it’s every bit as epic as you’ve come to expect! Yes, friends, FESTIVUS is back! A Festivus for the rest of us. And this year Jason is bringing a bag full of goodies to help you navigate the turbulent times 2025 is certain to bring. It’s a perfect way to wrap up 2024 and a great listen for you and your whole family as you head over the river and through the woods. 2024 has been a crazy year. And 2025 will be no different. But we’re bringing light not heat and we’re bringing the conversations you want and the news you need. Every guest on this show has shaped America’s past, is impacting America’s present, and is driving America’s future. And Jason continues to help us understand ourselves, our past, and our future. He is of course best known for his role as George Costanza in maybe the greatest television series of all time, Seinfeld. He was nominated for seven Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. He won a Tony Award. And he’s a truly inspiring, fascinating and entertaining man. And Paul is breaking down drone madness, the “debate” over vaccines, the Army Navy game political post-game review, the defense bill nobody’s paying attention to, and the trials of a parent playing Elf on the Shelf! Skip the cable news and partisan spin and get your weekly dose of independent vigilance. 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. Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went.
2:02.6	And for some reason, they don't want to comment.
2:05.6	And I think they'd be better off saying what it is.
