And if you&#8217;re a Lindsey Graham fan, this one is not for you. Recorded live from the Manhattan Classic Car Club back in 2019, this episode is a candid, no-holds-barred conversation with one of America&#8217;s most important voices in comedy and journalism.<\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019d expect, Sam doesn\u2019t hold back, delivering a blistering critique of the administration, the politicians who enable it, and the moral compromises being made in Washington to placate Trump. Sound familiar? This episode is a look back at 2019 when we were just getting started. But once you give it a listen, you might be surprised by just how relevant it still is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kqqd4sD8ais\"><u>WATCH video of Paul and Sam\u2019s conversation.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Original episode here: <a href=\"https:\/\/independentamericans.us\/29-samantha-bee-the-kurds-are-being-slaughtered-democrats-debate-again-the-middle-east-jenga-game-sam-bee-at-the-dmv-the-daily-show-reunion-tour-fighting-back-with-comedy-djibouti-and-naugahyd\/\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/independentamericans.us\/29-samantha-bee-the-kurds-are-being-slaughtered-democrats-debate-again-the-middle-east-jenga-game-sam-bee-at-the-dmv-the-daily-show-reunion-tour-fighting-back-with-comedy-djibouti-and-naugahyd\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/independentamericans.us\/29-samantha-bee-the-kurds-are-being-slaughtered-democrats-debate-again-the-middle-east-jenga-game-sam-bee-at-the-dmv-the-daily-show-reunion-tour-fighting-back-with-comedy-djibouti-and-naugahyd\/<\/a><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>-Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/independentveteransofamerica.org\/\"><u>Independent Veterans of America<\/u><\/a> and all of <a href=\"https:\/\/independentveteransofamerica.org\/candidates\/\"><u>the IVA candidates<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/independentamericans\/posts\"><u>Join the movement.
