Summary

It’s been one month of Trump 2.0. One month of drama. One month of chaos. One month of pain. And Trump continues to roll unimpeded. The Democrats have put up little to no resistance and there are no saviors in sight. But we’ve got a glimmer of hope. A leader who could emerge as the one to take the helm and restore honor (and sanity) to the office. Maybe one day soon. We’ve got Maryland Governor Wes Moore back on the show for the fourth time—and for an exclusive one-on-one that’s the kind of frank and honest deep dive you can’t get anywhere else. Our host, Paul Rieckhoff and Governor Moore go way back. And they’re not holding back. This one is special. And it’s the perfect time for it. It’s a candid conversation between two friends about what it’s like to lead when the world is on fire. And who can lead us out of that fire. And how you can help. Every episode of Independent Americans breaks down the most important news stories–and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

0:17.1	Welcome to Independent Americans. Welcome to Episode 321. I'm your host, Paul Reichoff.
0:25.4	Coming up, I've got a very candid, extended conversation with the true political superstar and a man who represents hope for America in this dark and cold time.
0:36.9	The one and only, Governor Westmore, is back on this program for a fourth time to bring his
0:42.3	contagious energy, positivity, and patriotism.
0:45.3	And you're not going to want to miss it.
0:47.3	So stick around for that.
0:48.3	I think that people should not be saying, well, can the Democratic Party save me? Parties are not going to save anybody.
0:58.8	I mean, that's not what they're structured. That's not how they're built. And I think about it
1:03.8	honestly, in my case, man, where it's like I am, the Democratic Party did not make me the governor.
1:09.0	My old friend, Wes, is back to talk candidly about what we're facing as a nation.
1:14.1	What he's doing in Maryland to fight back, what his strategy is to push back and fight back and defend against Trump and Musk.
1:22.4	He's got a message for the world.
1:24.3	He's got a message for our children.
1:25.9	And he's going to make his case for why he thinks

1:33.3	some light, and some heat. My exclusive, candid conversation with a man that I think will be
1:38.4	president one day soon, the one and only, Maryland governor, West Moore. But before we get to a little hope, inspiration, and true patriotism from my friend West Moore,
1:48.8	from up here in the cold mountains I've got for you some very hot top topics.
1:53.7	Everyone. Just too.
2:19.2	Every morning we wake up and there's a new assault on our democracy, an assault on the fabric of our country, an assault on what it means to be an American, an assault on the dignity of our leadership in this country, and an assault on all things that we hold true and dear. And this morning is no exception, because Trump
