Chris Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) grew up in the political and media crossfire. He knows how to mix it up with the world’s most powerful people in politics and media. And in the last week, the Emmy-award-winning journalist has found himself in the middle of the headlines like never before. The controversial host of CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time and SiriusXM’s Let’s Get After It sat down exclusively with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) for an extended interview about the state of affairs in America, the White House assaults on the media, Trump’s attacks on him personally, and the recent incident that dominated headlines worldwide. (48:40) Chris was a co-anchor of 20/20 and an anchor on Good Morning America. But he’s really breaking news journalist. He’s not just an anchor behind a desk. He’s the kind of guy that gets out into the field. With the people. Chris has been all around the world, covering the biggest and toughest stories from Iraq and Afghanistan to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. And Cuomo talks candidly about the last few weeks under the media microscope and in the nasty crosshairs of Trump’s Twitter account. He also shares stories of his Italian-American upbringing, parenthood, fishing, fitness and his very first car (it’s unforgettable one). Chris Cuomo is a guy millions know from TV. But he’s also a father of three, a man of faith, and a dude who loves sports and working out. This episode will reveal a personal side of the Chris Cuomo that you’ve never heard before. And Paul Rieckhoff does what he does best. Asking probing questions of his guests and framing up the big picture of what’s happening in America. And ripping through the most important stories you may have missed or need to know more about. The Army veteran and renowned activist examines how Trump’s tone has become insidiously invasive and contagious. And how on the one-year anniversary of Senator John McCain’s death, that toxic tone is in direct contrast with leaders like John McCain, George Washington and Stephen Colbert. Rieckhoff also explores the violent and breaking news out of Afghanistan, digs into a tragic political fight that’s hurting Gold Star families, and rips into why a focus on Greenland is sucking attention away from the American Marine veteran and journalist, Austin Tice, who was taken prisoner in Syria 7 years ago this month. And with football season coming soon, Rieckhoff analyzes the political importance of Vince McMahon’s new XFL football league.

It’s the dog days of summer in America. And there is LOTS happening you need to know about. From the aftermath of the El Paso and Dayton massacres, to the evolving shooting situation in Philadelphia, to attempts to change the meaning of The Statue of Liberty, to the wave of veteran suicides happening in VA parking lots, Paul Rieckhoff (@Paul Rieckhoff) breaks down what you need to know–and what you may have missed. He rips into the attacks on our democracy that should alarm you–and talks to heroes that will inspire you. And this vital and patriotic episode continues to add light to all the political heat of this turbulent summer of news and politics. Angry Americans is more essential than ever–and is the rising voice for independent, concerned and informed people of all backgrounds. And Rieckhoff takes us deep into the streets of Washington, DC for a very different kind of guest. Angry Americans is the independent voice of the people. And in this episode, Rieckhoff takes us out into the streets of Washington, DC and inside Franklin Park–an epicenter of homelessness just blocks away from the White House–to talk to Frank and Michael. They are two men who’ve lived on the streets, seen it all and can teach everyone listening about the real state of affairs in America–and how to survive tough times.

This is the most powerful interview we have ever had on Angry Americans. After mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton rocked our already fragile nation, Paul Rieckhoff (@Paul Rieckhoff) sat down exclusively with a young man that has captivated and inspired America: JT Lewis (@thejtlewis). JT Lewis knows more about mass shootings than just about anyone in America. He is the 19-year-old brother of Jesse Lewis, a 7-year-old hero who was one of 20 children and 6 adults murdered at the Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Connecticut. Young Jesse bravely rallied his friends to run for safety, just before losing his own life. After losing his only brother, then 12-year-old JT committed his life to honoring Jesse’s memory by making a difference in the world. He raised money for Rwandan genocide survivors, met with both Presidents Obama and Trump, and just three weeks ago announced his candidacy as a Republican for State Senate in Connecticut–at just 19-years old. The freshman college student and football player is a powerful voice on gun violence and an inspiration for all Americans. And especially right now, his is a voice that must be heard. And as a show that is always focused on being a voice for political independents, Angry Americans also check in with GOP strategist, media guru and former Giuliani adviser, Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson). Last week, we talked to Democrat whisperer, Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) of Pod Save America (@PodSaveAmerica). This week, we get the other side of the aisle and talk to Republican whisperer Rick Wilson. Rick breaks Trump’s reaction to El Paso and Dayton, which Democrats are the strongest and boldly predicts whether or not Donald Trump will be re-elected.

This week, the clash of the Democratic political titans finally happened in Detroit. The leading candidates fighting to take on Donald Trump in 2020 battled on two massive nights in Detroit. And Angry Americans is channeling our inner Joe Rogan, Max Kellerman and Tyler Durden and breaking down all the political fighting from a unique, informed and independent viewpoint. Paul Rieckhoff (@Paul Rieckhoff) leads the charge and is joined by Democrat whisperer Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08). Tommy is one of the hosts of the groundbreaking podcast sensation, Pod Save America (@PodSaveAmerica, hosts Pod Save the World and is a founder of Crooked Media with Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett. He evaluates the candidates, takes us deep inside the strategies and tactics of the Democratic leaders and pulls back the curtain of debate prep from his experiences working directly alongside President Obama as only an experienced insider can. We also check in with 9/11 First Responder Rob Serra, just after leaving the White House Rose Garden signing of the historic 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund extension bill–an issue we’ve covered closely for months. We dive into the fighting spirit and resurgence of Detroit and as in every episode, Paul has a recommendation for how to turn your righteous anger into positive action.

Racism is ripping American apart right now. As President Trump doubles-down on his Tweets, and the parties remain deeply divided, Army veteran and renowned activist @PaulRieckhoff breaks it all down from a unique perspective. He adds light to all the heat and brings the 4 I’s: integrity, information, impact and inspiration–and explores the history, the bigger picture and the way forward. He digs into the urgently important stories in the news you missed–like the troubling leadership situation at the Pentagon and the contentious Senate hearings this week focused on the potential new Secretary of Defense. And the latest on the First for 9/11 First Responders support. And we sit down for a candid, firey and fun conversation with media powerhouse Soledad O’Brien (@SoledadOBrien). She drops bombs on Trump and the media–and drops knowledge on politics and race relations in America. Soledad is fresh off hosting a BET forum with 4 of the candidates for President and makes a surprising whiskey choice. It’s a timely, real and inspiring conversion that takes you behind the scenes of the highest levels of media and politics.
