Whether you’re a first-time listener or a devoted fan, this is a masterclass in punk rock citizenship and independent American values.

Henry doesn’t do podcasts-and I’m so thankful he did mine.

You will be too.

We tackle everything from current headlines to personal discipline, empathy, and standing up to extremism. Rieckhoff and Rollins dissect Trump, Fetterman, Venezuela, and how music, community, and the spirit of inclusion can battle America’s most toxic divisions.

From stories of Rollins's global travels to his reflections on what it truly means to be punk—and patriotic—in 2025, you’ll get an unfiltered look into his mindset, leadership, and hard-earned lessons from decades on the front lines of culture and activism.

…for a fiercely honest conversation about division in America, the state of democracy, and the enduring need for vigilance.

Thank you from all of us across the vets community. We love and appreciate you.

He also could have brought all those cameras and social media eyeballs with him and focused them on vets.

This just sounds like spin after an obvious mistake. One that no other Mayor or Mayor-elect has made that I can recall. It’s worth asking if he plans to skip the parade next year too.
Mamdani skips Veterans Day parade, scoops meals for vets
Both of Mamdani’s most recent predecessors participated in the parade.
