367. Sami Sage. Mamdani Wins. And So Does Trump. Divided America Divides Even Deeper. The Far Left’s Moment Overshadows Big Wins by Women Vets Sherrill and Spanberger. Zohran’s NYPD Problem. Prop 50 Passes. Betches, Sabrina Carpenter and Coffee.
Whew. It’s the day after Election Day. And we all probably feel a little hung over. It was an emotional day/month/year. But it’s finally over. And on this day after, as the dust settles and the partisan spin begins, we’ve got a pod to help you cut through the corporate and partisan media and propaganda and better understand what the hell just happened. It’s moments like this especially when independent media is critical. Grab a cup of coffee (or three), close a few things on your phone, and watch the latest episode of the independent show you can trust to help you understand what that hell just happened–and what’s next.
Your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is joined by Sami Sage–cofounder and Chief Creative Officer of Betches Media, news and culture analyst, entrepreneur, media powerhouse, podcaster and lover of pop music.
They analyze Mamdani’s closer-than-projected victory, his fiery acceptance speech and frontal attack on Trump, how it’s him vs the establishment and moderates for the future of the Democratic Party, and why it’s all so much bigger than New York City. Sami and Paul also focus on the historic victories by two Democrat women vets for Governor: Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, the failures of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the impact of independent voters, and two things that are really good to end a chaotic time.
Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. Its independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.
