Is This a Tipping Point?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Live from the massive \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests in New York City, Iraq War veteran and Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff takes you into the streets as Americans of all ages and backgrounds say \u201chell no\u201d to forever wars and unchecked presidential power. From the unpopular war in Iran to Trump\u2019s threats against Ecuador and Cuba, Paul explains why this feels like a tipping point\u2014and why more veterans, independents, conservatives, and liberals are uniting than we\u2019ve seen in years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He also breaks down bombshell reporting about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly blocking Black and female officers from promotion, and what it reveals about politics infecting the Pentagon. This is what modern patriotism looks like: people standing up, speaking out, and paying the price of freedom with their vigilance. Watch, listen, and share if you\u2019re tired of being ignored by both parties and ready for real accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>-WATCH <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/L6xQh7qFtoU\"><span>full video of this episode here<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>-Join <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/independentveteransofamerica.org\/no-more-forever-wars\/\"><span>IVA and stand up to Trump\u2019s Forever Wars<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>-Learn more about Paul\u2019s work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/independentveteransofamerica.org\/\"><span>Independent Veterans of America<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>-Learn more about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/americanveteransforukraine.org\/\"><span>American Veterans for Ukraine here<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>-Remember <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/do8wjRtDZJ4?feature=share\"><span>Independent is an Attitude<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>-Learn more about<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theheadstrongproject.org\/\"><span> The Headstrong Project <\/span><\/a><span>for Veterans, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taps.org\/\"><span>Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS)<\/span><\/a><span>, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/health-care\/health-needs-conditions\/mental-health\/\"><span>Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area<\/span><\/a><span>.
