A Flat But Political Super Bowl. Bad Bunny Makes History.
Episode 436
Monday, 9 February, 2026
Lawmakers to View Unredacted Epstein Files. Hegseth vs The Boy Scouts and Harvard. JD Vance Booed at Olympics. US Olympians Speak Out Against ICE. Super Bowl Monday Should be a National Holiday. It’s Super Bowl Monday and Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff is unpacking a wild 24 hours in America—from a politically charged halftime show and Seattle’s gritty win to dangerous ICE raids, new 9/11 revelations, and the most political Olympics yet. Every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) 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 a time when trusted news, politics, inspiration, and hope are in short supply. In this all‑new solo “Manosphere Monday” episode, Paul ties together Bad Bunny’s historic halftime performance and its “the only thing more powerful than hate is love” message, Trump-world backlash, and the NFL’s bet on Latino and Puerto Rican culture as a preview of America’s demographic future. He launches “Manosphere Monday” with real talk on male leadership, raising boys, and men’s health—spotlighting prostate screenings via that unforgettable “Relax Your Tight End” Novartis ad. Along the way he exposes chilling ICE abuses, honors murdered Minneapolis VA hero Alex Preti, and reveals a newly surfaced 9/11 memo showing New York City officials quietly worried about toxic air and legal liability while first responders and residents were told it was safe. Paul also tracks Trump’s war on the free press, Pentagon stonewalling, Pete Hegseth’s escalating culture war against the Boy Scouts and Harvard, JD Vance getting booed at the Olympics, and why Ukraine’s athletes are now the spiritual center of the Games. He highlights the growing movement for open primaries, new polling showing Americans are fed up with partisan primaries, and why veterans and independents are leading the charge to reclaim our democracy—before closing with some sports hope in college hoops, March Madness, and his surging St. John’s Johnnies. If you’re exhausted by partisan spin, corporate media, and performative “manosphere” grifters, this is your alternative, independent briefing on Super Bowl Monday—packed with politics, culture, sports, and honest conversation about health, masculinity, and American leadership.
