As Trump tests the limits of presidential power, perhaps the most exciting and inspiring Governor in America joins Paul Rieckhoff to explain how far the White House can really go in deploying the National Guard into American cities, what is and is not a \u201clawful order,\u201d and how governors can (and must) hold the line. From war-crime allegations to loose talk about striking Venezuela, Moore lays out what responsible, principled leadership looks like when America\u2019s global reputation is collapsing fast.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Recorded during Army\u2013Navy week, Paul and Wes dig into why that game should be \u201cmandatory viewing\u201d for anyone who wants to understand real patriotism, service, and brotherhood. Moore talks candidly about his role as commander in chief of Maryland\u2019s Guard, what he\u2019d do if he were president right now, and why he sees himself as a \u201chealer\u201d for all 6.5 million Marylanders\u2014not a partisan warrior.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>They also dive deep on Moore\u2019s pioneering work with men and boys\u2014from getting more men into classrooms and hospitals to building healthier models of masculinity that steer young guys away from grievance and extremism. Moore explains how Maryland went from 43rd in unemployment to one of the lowest jobless rates in America, cut violent crime and teacher shortages, and launched a first-in-the-nation \u201cFeds to Eds\u201d program that turns fired federal workers into urgently needed teachers.\u200b And, talks openly about the struggles of his beloved Baltimore Ravens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Plus, Paul opens the show hitting the hottest stories: Trump\u2019s refusal to release the December 2nd boat strike video, the latest on Ukraine\u2019s fight and Zelensky\u2019s resolve, the Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury files, RFK Jr.\u2019s pull-up stunts, Nancy Mace\u2019s TSA tirade, Golden Globe snubs, and a wild NFL Monday night. And they both close with \u201cSomething Good\u201d\u2014that\u2019ll leave you feeling warm for the holidays and more hopeful about the days ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories&#8211;and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
