America is facing unprecedented division and anxiety, but this is also a moment of new possibilities and bold leadership. In this powerful episode, your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) continues the Meet the Independent Candidate series with Ty Pinkins—army veteran, lawyer, lifelong Mississippian, and independent candidate for US Senate. Pinkins shares his compelling personal journey from the cotton fields to the campaign trail, discusses the failures of both parties, and lays out why Mississippi—and America—need true independent voices now more than ever. Packed with the kind of real, unfiltered conversation you won’t hear elsewhere, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about breaking up the partisan gridlock, challenging big money in politics, and unifying the country.

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. It’s independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration, and hope. The podcast that helps you stay ahead of the curve—and stay vigilant.
