This weekend was a stark reminder of what that means and why it is important. The horrifying attacks on the Israeli people shocked us all. And times like this are too important to wait to get the information you need. So this episode is a special Quick Response Content (QRC) delivery of what you need to know with a returning favorite guest\u2014 Secretary Pete Buttigieg.<\/p>\n<p>Buttigieg is one of the most important voices in American politics\u2013and a leader that\u2019s had unique appeal for independent Americans. He\u2019s also the only combat veteran serving in the cabinet outside of the Secretary of Defense. In this all new episode, you\u2019ll again get to hear Buttigieg asked questions he\u2019s never been asked before and get a peek behind the curtain. He joins us as news continues to pour out of the Middle East. He\u2019ll share what he\u2019s doing to protect American transportation from terror attacks\u2014and also sound off on Trump\u2019s shocking threats against General Mark Milley, Senator Tommy Tuberville\u2019s STILL ongoing hold on military promotions, whether he\u2019ll run for President alongside Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a new program for vets he just launched to help them transition into being civilian truck drivers, and what he\u2019s learned from being the dad of two young twins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other shows focus on what\u2019s happening. This show focuses on what\u2019s next.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by author, activist and social entrepreneur Paul Rieckhoff (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulRieckhoff\">@PaulRieckhoff<\/a>) is the truth beyond the headlines\u2013and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
