Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) brings you the most real, raw, and independent perspective you can get, all from deep inside America’s chaos. In Episode 358, host Paul Rieckhoff broadcasts straight from his kitchen in a no-holds-barred solo episode tackling the latest madness from Washington and beyond. From President Trump literally destroying parts of the White House to chaos in Maine’s Senate race and shocking developments in national security operations off Venezuela, Rieckhoff is connecting the dots others won’t. And just to make sure you know it’s still 2025, the bizarro world news continues with Rand Paul stepping up as the voice of reason when it comes to our use of the military. Yes, that Rand Paul. This episode breaks down America’s crisis of democracy, national security overreach, and the broken primary system that fuels the political circus—all while mixing in a little Knicks talk and cultural perspective.  This is the first in a new format of fast, unfiltered, real-time reactions from one of America’s most independent voices. If you care about truth, accountability, and our future, this one’s for you. Stay vigilant. -WATCH video of this episode.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
