Clintons to Testify on Epstein. Elon\u2019s GROK Loves Porn. Jill Biden\u2019s Ex Charged w Murder. Savannah Guthrie\u2019s Mom. Liberals Buying Guns. ICE at Super Bowl?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>It\u2019s only Tuesday\u2013and this week is already on fire. From ICE stalking kids and now Haitian caregivers, to Trump openly musing about \u201ctaking over\u201d the fall mid-term elections and flirting with the Insurrection Act, Paul kicks off this all\u2011new daily episode with a blistering run through the wildest news of the day: Jill Biden\u2019s ex\u2011husband charged with murder, Savannah Guthrie\u2019s missing mother, a delayed moon mission, and another massive Russian barrage on freezing Ukraine.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Then, Democratic strategist, nonprofit advisor and attorney Kaivan Shroff joins Paul from New York to get extremely reasonable about a Democratic Party that seems determined to eat its own. They dig into why the Democrats can\u2019t get out of their own way, overly focus on identity politics, and continue to hemorrhage voters nationwide. And they focus on the headline-snatching Texas Senate Democrat primary food fight between James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett, Colin Allred\u2019s \u201cmediocre Black man\u201d moment, and how very online identity wars and racial politics are distracting the Dems from from attracting independents, beating Republican Ken Paxton, winning back Texas, and actually stopping Trump.\u200b What the hell is wrong with the Democrats? So much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Paul and Kaivan also break down why so many liberals are suddenly buying guns, what that means for suicide risk and public safety, and how Trump\u2019s ICE crackdown and gun restrictions have even hardcore Second Amendment advocates furious at the government he now runs. They explore whether this crisis could finally force a new, common\u2011sense unity and breakthrough national conversation about guns, civil liberties, and what real \u201claw and order\u201d looks like in Trump\u2019s America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>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.
