America is facing a growing crisis — and it’s hitting young people the hardest.

In this episode of Independent, Paul Johnson, Henry Thompson, and Bob Robb dive into the real economic anxiety shaping politics today, from AI-driven job disruption and rising costs of living to declining faith in education, homeownership, and opportunity.

We explore how artificial intelligence is changing the job market, why young men are becoming a key political swing group, and how economic stress can fuel radical politics and social unrest. The conversation also examines the broader cultural and global context — including antisemitism, nationalism, foreign policy shifts, and America’s changing role in the world.

In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson sits down with Bob Robb and Henry Thompson to break down the growing political earthquake reshaping the United States — the rise of independent voters and the increasing demand for a viable third party.

This conversation exposes what both political parties don’t want voters to hear, including how independents could flip key districts, reshape Congress, and force genuine problem-solving back into American politics.

America’s affordability crisis isn’t just a headline — it’s the defining political and economic battle of our time. In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson sits down with Henry Thompson and Bob Robb to uncover the real reasons why life is becoming harder to afford for working Americans.

From tariffs that secretly raise food prices, to inflation outpacing wages, to broken fiscal and monetary policy, this conversation exposes how BOTH political parties created — and are now worsening — the affordability disaster.

America is at a crossroads — politically, economically, and technologically. In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson sits down with Eliott Pollack, Henry Thompson, and Bob Robb to unpack the forces reshaping the country.

- The conversation dives into Donald Trump’s tariffs and his clash with Ronald Reagan’s free-market legacy, exposing how protectionism, inflation, and political rage are reshaping the U.S. economy. What does it mean when one man can raise taxes through “emergency powers”?

- At the same time, artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of the economy. Major layoffs at Amazon, Intel, and Salesforce raise questions about automation, productivity, and the future of human work. Is AI an economic threat — or America’s next big growth engine?

- And while Washington remains paralyzed by partisan division, Independent voters are on the rise — with Arizona leading a movement to challenge the two-party system. Can a new generation of Independents restore sanity, cooperation, and innovation to American politics?

In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson is joined by Republican strategist Sean Noble, columnist Bob Robb, and political scientist Henry Thompson to tackle some of the most pressing questions in American politics.

The panel also unpacks Kamala Harris’s failed campaign, Arizona’s political landscape, the growing influence of dark money, and much more.

A historic peace deal abroad, chaos at home.

From Trump’s historic peace mission in the Middle East to the possibility of a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, this episode of New Frontiers dives into how Trump’s diplomacy reshaped global alliances and challenged decades of U.S. foreign policy. Paul Johnson and his panel explore the shifting Arab support for Israel, the media’s portrayal of Israel as the aggressor, and whether a true two-state solution is finally within reach — or just another short-term truce.

Back home, the discussion turns to America’s deepening divisions, the debate over deploying federal troops, and the controversy surrounding ICE and immigration enforcement. The panel also dissects Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s military speech, the Arizona gubernatorial race, and Kamala Harris’s post-election reflections — all while asking one central question: Can America find peace abroad if it can’t find peace at home?
