Maybe you’ve slept better recently knowing that Trump no longer has access to our military. And to our nukes. But stakes are still high. As high as ever. And we’re gonna continue to break it down. This is not the time to rest—or even celebrate. That time is over. This is the time to stay focused and to stay vigilant. 

In this fiery episode, our host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is again joined by dynamic transgender activist, writer and Army veteran, Charlotte Clymer (@CMClymer). They break down Biden’s repeal of Trump’s military transgender ban, the confirmation hearing of Denis McDonough to head the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), white nationalism in the military and veterans community, and pancakes vs waffles. Charlotte was named one of Fortune Magazine’s ’40 under 40′, joined us back in Episode 65, and returns now to break down the latest news with fire, wit and independence. And as always, there’s a focus on the national security and veterans issues you won’t hear anywhere else. It’s the best independent news, politics and culture podcast in America.   

You can also check out video of this conversation with Charlotte Clymer and a wide range of music, political, business and media players from Chuck D to Jeffrey Wright to Medal of Honor Recipient Flo Groberg to Sarah Jessica Parker to Stephen Colbert to Meghan McCain to Mayor Pete Buttigieg on the Righteous Media YouTube page. It’s political, social and industry diversity like no other show anywhere. 

If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention. But it’s about much more than that. Angry Americans is your trusted, independent source for news, politics, culture and inspiration. It’s a smart, fun and candid perspective like nowhere else in the media.
