18 years later, America is still processing 9/11. And 9/11 First Responder Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) digs into all of it. From Trump’s plans to meet with the Taliban at Camp David to the Department of Defense making cuts to pay for the wall, to how to talk to your kids about 9/11. It’s a time that should be about unity. And Angry Americans is here to unite all Americans around the 4 I’s: integrity, information, inspiration and impact. The war in Afghanistan is now the longest war in US history. 18 years old. With no end in sight. Our war in Afghanistan is a teenager. It’s old enough to drive. It’s old enough to make its own choices. It’s old enough to get married to someone we don’t like. If Mitch McConnell has his way, it’s not old enough to use tobacco products. It’s NOT old enough to drink–which I think is bullshit. But regardless, the war in Afghanistan is almost 18 now. It’s old enough to legally do most things as an adult. And, now, it’s old enough to enlist. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention. And this important episode of Angry Americans will again reveal where attention must be paid most. Download the new Angry Americans podcast for free now.

This bold new episode of Angry Americans is feeling the need. The neeeeed for speeeeed. As the trailer for the new Top Gun: Maverick movie went viral nationwide, our guest for this episode has felt that need for speed. And the need for service. She was the first female Marine Corps pilot in history to fly the F/A-18 on a combat mission. Marine Fighter Pilot Amy McGrath (@AmyMcGrathKY) is running in the most-watched 2020 Senate race in America. After flying 89 combat missions against al Qaeda and the Taliban, the trailblazing combat veteran, former Naval Academy professor and mother of three just announced she’s running for the Senate in Kentucky versus the exceptionally unpopular Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. It’s the biggest challenge of her life–and on the biggest political stage in America. McGrath sits down with fellow combat veteran Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) for an exclusive and extensive discussion about her race vs McConnell, breaking barriers in the Marine Corps, being in the cockpit of an F-18 on 9/11 tasked with defending all of Los Angeles, and how she got her unique and unforgettable call-sign. Paul also digs into the most urgent news stories in America: the Mueller testimony, the historic victory for 9/11 First Responders, Trump’s threats to drop a nuke on Afghanistan, the expanding measles threat–and lots more fun stuff. So, yes, as with every episode, there will be some whiskey. Because we need it. This pod is always an examination of the great American experiment, a distress call and a rally cry.

America is right now on the edge of war with Iran. And Angry Americans breaks down what you need to know. What would American military strikes against Iran mean? How would combat unfold? How many might die? In his own unique and powerful style, Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) dissects the issue that has the entire world on edge. The US Army Iraq war veteran examines the harrowing geopolitical game of chicken playing out on Donald Trump’s Twitter account, in the halls of Congress and around exploding oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. We go deep with gragarious cryptology and intelligence expert, Navy combat veteran, MSNBC terrorism analyst, and best-selling author, Malcolm Nance (@MalcolmNance). Before joining the Navy, Malcolm came from a family with generations of combat veterans and grew up in Philadelphia studying Spanish, French and Latin, and taking free classes in Russian and Chinese on weekends at a local high school. He served for 20 years in the clandestine world of top secret covert combat operations from Beirut to Libya to Iraq. He shares fascinating war and spy stories that sound like the stuff from the movies. One of the few African Americans to serve in his area of expertise, and one of the rare Americans to have already engaged in combat with the Iranians, Malcolm has a viewpoint like no other. He has also been an outspoken critic of Republican and Democrat leaders at the highest levels—and battled haters and partisans across American and in the Wild West of political Twitter.
