Summary

Another week, another walk. And this time it’s somewhere different. We sent your host Paul Rieckhoff west to get some rest and so far it isn’t in the cards. From Trump crashing the economy to breaking news that Pete Hegseth’s cronies were allegedly removed from the Pentagon for leaking word of Elon’s China briefing, there’s a lot to keep up with. Even when you’re “on vacation”. Paul checks in from the home of the Navy SEALS: Coronado, California. And then there’s the guest. The kind of guest you hope to get. The kind of guest you make time for, regardless of where you are or what you’re doing. Legendary chess grandmaster and master strategist Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) joins Paul for an in depth look at the conflict in Ukraine and what the future might hold, for them and for us. He’s a political activist and voice of conscience who’s squared off directly with Putin. He’s held the line for freedom. And you can only get it here.

0:00.0	Welcome to by Righteous Media.
0:14.6	Welcome to Independent Americans.
0:17.6	Welcome to episode 329.
0:26.1	I'm your host, Paul Reichoff, and welcome to Coronado, California.
0:39.9	Beautiful. Corrano Beach, California, just across the way from San Diego and just down the street from the home of Navy Special Warfare Group, the Navy SEALs, and where they do buds training for SEAL recruits. It's a place that builds warriors. It's a patriotic place.
0:46.4	It's a fun place. And it's where I am this week to give you the latest of what's going on in the
0:51.4	world of news, politics, and culture. My wife is out here for
0:55.0	some work. I'm tagging on some work as well. My kids are on spring break. And even in the
0:59.7	midst of all this, now is most definitely a time to stay vigilant.
1:09.2	And coming up, you'll hear my conversation with the great Gary Kasparov, chess grandmaster,
1:18.1	world champion, chess prodigy, but also an incredibly important political activist,
1:23.3	humanitarian, and voice of conscience and reason, a guy who's been out in front on Putin for years,
1:29.9	a ferocious advocate for Ukraine and freedom around the world, and maybe one of Putin's biggest
1:35.6	pain in the asses. We're also going to talk a little chess more. And as I walk in Coronado today,
1:41.2	you may see some military aircraft, you may see some military seacraft, you may see some military aircraft, you may see some military
1:45.2	seacraft, you may see some fighter planes, you may see some helicopters, because this is definitely
1:50.6	a military town, and it's awesome to be back here. I've spent a lot of time here over the years.
1:55.6	Also, I always ask, where are you, and how are you? I've told you where I am and I've also been taking in a lot of
2:02.3	other things I love about San Diego including a Padres game at Petco Park last night. The
2:08.0	Padres are the best team in baseball right now and had 11 game home winning streak that
2:13.4	unfortunately had broken last night a tough two one extra inning loss to the Cubs.
2:18.6	But I can't recommend Petco Park and the Padres enough.
