Our host, combat veteran, author and renowned independent activist Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) rips into a weird and historic Democratic National Convention with a focus on national security, military and veterans affairs. Rieckhoff has himself attended every Democratic and Republic convention since 2004. He breaks down the winners and the losers–and how the democrats missed a… Continue reading 73. Mayor Pete Buttigieg (Replay). The Democratic Convention. President Obama is Angry. The Dems Miss on National Security and Politicize The Troops. Trump Says No Americans Have Died in Afghanistan. The Octonauts Are Awesome.

If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention. And Norman Lear (@TheNormanLear) is understandably angry. [57:52] A true icon and a dedicated patriot, the legendary creator of All in the Family, Maude, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son and over 100 other TV shows has defined American television, culture and race-relations for generations. He’s a decorated World War Two veteran that flew 52 combat missions over Europe, a trailblazing philanthropist, and a tenacious civil rights activist. Norman founded People For The American Way to defend constitutional values like free expression, religious liberty, equal justice, and the right to meaningfully participate in our democracy. He purchased a copy of the Declaration of Independence and put it on tour across America for ten years to educate young people. He’s a Kennedy Center Honoree; a recipient of the National Medal of Arts, a Peabody Lifetime Achievement Award, an inaugural inductee to the Television Academy Hall of Fame. He won five Emmys and a Golden Globe; was labeled the “No. 1 enemy of the American family” by Jerry Falwell; made it onto Richard Nixon’s “Enemies List”; was presented with the National Medal of the Arts by President Clinton. Norman is wonderful, kind, wise–and mad as hell about the state of our country and the leadership of our President. And ahead of his 98th birthday, the Hollywood titan talked exclusively with our host, and his friend and mentee, Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff). It’s Norman Lear extended and candid like you’ve never heard him before. If you care about America, you’ve got to hear this. 
And, per usual, Rieckhoff rips into the week’s news you need to know about from the violence in Portland, to Trump’s 180 on masks, to the death of treasured Congressman John Lewis.

As national security controversies dominate headlines like never before, host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) tears into the urgent latest news on possible Russian bounties paid to kill US troops. The President and Secretary of Defense Esper knew about it all. We cover Trump’s shameful attacks on Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman that drove him out of the military, the grisly murder of Army Specialist Vanessa Guillen, the skyrocketing number of coronavirus cases inside the Department of Veterans Affairs, and Tucker Carlson’s outrageous slander of decorated combat veterans and US Senator, Tammy Duckworth. It’s a flurry of news you need to know about. All this while a blockbuster new Washington Post investigative story reveals that dozens of dying veterans were tested with unproven coronavirus cures pushed by Trump and Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Wilkie. Trump lied and veterans died. The stakes have never been higher–and independent Army veteran and activist Rieckhoff rips through it all like only he can. 
And all of this unfolds as sports finally returns to play across America. Major League Baseball has restarted, the NBA is back in action, and NFL football is hoping to do the same soon. But players are getting sick, pushing back and speaking out. This while Trump attacks African-American NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace and Quarterback Colin Kaepernick and even defends the display of the Confederate flag at sporting events. The intersections of sports and politics have never been more intense. The dynamic Joy Taylor (@JoyTaylorTalks) is the important, inspiring and iconic guest who joins Angry Americans to guide us through all of it. Joy is one of the most dynamic, up-and-coming stars in the world of sports media and the charismatic co-host of The Herd with Colin Cowherd (@TheHerd)–the massively popular and influential daily show on Fox Sports 1. She was formerly the moderator/referee/voice of reason for Fox Sports 1’s controversial Skip and Shannon: Undisputed with Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. Today Joy is now the host of her own sport and culture podcast, Maybe I’m Crazy with Joy Taylor (@MaybeImCrazyPod). She comes from a military family, and is a longtime supporter of the military, and the proud sister of NFL Hall of Fame legend, Jason Taylor (@JasonTaylor). If you’re a fan of Joy, you know she doesn’t hold back. And this is Joy uninterrupted and totally candid, from inside her home studio in Los Angeles. Rieckhoff is a former college football player and high school coach, and leads a fresh and fun conversation with one of the most interesting and dynamic voices in sports and media.
Angry Americans is America’s best weekly podcast for independent politics, news and culture–a pod that continues to make news and climb the political and news charts worldwide.
