If you\u2019re laughing you\u2019re not afraid.\u201d Wise words in this groundbreaking new episode from a truly iconic guest: Stephen Colbert (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stephenathome\"><em>@StephenAtHome<\/em><\/a><em>). Stephen joins us from his home&#8211;uninterrupted and unedited in this fun, candid and inspiring episode. As we enter the most trying and important fall of our lifetime, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.angryamericans.us\/\"><em>Angry Americans<\/em><\/a><em> is bringing in the big guns to get you through this trying time. And there are few bigger than Stephen Colbert.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<em>President Mayhem is sheer chaos. He&#8217;s doing anything and everything he can to disrupt our country, our unity and our day. And this conversation is the antidote. Stephen and host Paul Rieckhoff (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulrieckhoff\"><em>@PaulRieckhoff<\/em><\/a><em>) break down the current state of the country and what the future might hold. Stephen beams in from his home office and shares wisdom, jokes and some amazing stories. He talks about his trip to Iraq to visit the troops and why he shaved his head while he was there. His first car story is one of the best we\u2019ve ever had. His answer to what makes him happy is heartwarming. But also painful. And expensive. This is Stephen Colbert like you\u2019ve never heard him before. You&#8217;ll just have to listen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/independentamericans.us\/\"><em>Independent Americans<\/em><\/a> is a full dose of light to contrast all the divisive heat of other political pods.
