Paul Rieckhoff | Fossil Fools
About this episode
Iran selected a new leader without seeking America’s approval, President Trump wore a novelty hat to an event honoring soldiers killed in action, and the president insulted his Spanish-speaking guests at the first meeting of the Shield of the Americas. National security analyst and podcast host Paul Rieckhoff describes President Trump’s use of the military as “all gas, no brakes” and says that Congress is utterly failing by ceding control of America’s warfighting to the president. New episodes of the podcast “Independent Americans” are available on Wednesdays wherever you get your podcasts.
