Summary

Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff is back with a special bonus pod featuring Paul’s full appearance on MSNBC’s Nightcap with Stephanie Ruhle’s 11th Hour, bringing an independent, patriotic, candid, action-focused perspective into the cable news crossfire. Drawing on his experience as founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and host of this show, Paul explains why “we are no longer the good guys” in the eyes of many around the world and how Trump’s behavior is shredding decades of trust with allies who fought and bled alongside us in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, including furious NATO partners such as Denmark and Norway.
