It\u2019s a smart, fresh and candid perspective you won\u2019t find anywhere else on the media landscape, hosted by renowned activist, author, social entrepreneur and veteran, Paul Rieckhoff.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He breaks down the most important issues facing our country&#8211;always with a special focus on national security, foreign affairs and community action. And he interviews the most influential and compelling leaders from all political, media, business and entertainment backgrounds, ranging from Chuck D to Chuck Hagel; Sarah Jessica Parker to Meghan McCain; Stephen Colbert to Mayor Pete Buttigieg.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>America is more divided than ever before. But Independent Americans is adding light to contrast all the heat. Every episode brings the Righteous Media 5 I\u2019s: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact\u2013and explores the most pressing issues of the day with leaders who are shaping what America will be in the future.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re among the 40% of Americans who are independent, this is your show. If you\u2019re a Republican or Democratic Party, but you\u2019re not a die-hard partisan, this is your show. If you\u2019re a concerned American who cares about the future of your country, this is your show. All are welcome.
