Summary

With America’s eyes focused on the New Hampshire results, and looking forward to Nevada and South Carolina, Angry Americans hit the road. We’re going west. To the Golden State. Back to Cali. It’s Angry Americans in Hollywood. Meanwhile Donald Trump is out to make Washington DC the Hollywood for ugly people. A week after the Senate refused to convict he’s attacking anyone he sees as an enemy. There’s no hiding from it. Our President is not a Hollywood bombshell. He’s a Hollywood movie monster. Of the ugliest type. He’s not the guy to clean up the swamp. He’s the swamp thing. And every week, he gives us a new reason to be angry. And there’s lots to get into in this episode. Including my very special conversation with one of the most dynamic guests we’ve had on this show yet. Jamil Smith. [46:40] Jamil is a reporter, an activist, a storyteller, a social and political critic--and an incredibly important and rising voice on politics, culture, race, sports--and more. It’s a hard hitting conversation--with all the news of the world unfolding--in the middle of black history month--with race and our racist President--at the center of all of it. It’s a fascinating conversation that explores why so many people in this country are angry---and with good reason. We also talk football, beer and why Bernie can’t win. I’ve got a very timely action segment, that’ll inspire you to turn your anger into positive impact. And some news about upcoming shows, events, and even a recap of the amazing FDNY vs Chicago PD charity hockey game that we sponsored -- and many of you helped support. Join the Angry Americans community for upcoming event tickets and behind-the-scenes video with guests like Meghan McCain, Susan Rice, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Bradley Whitford, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tulsi Gabbard, Rachel Maddow, Samantha Bee and more. Get details on the upcoming live event in Los Angeles with Henry Rollins. Angry Americans is connecting, uniting and empowering independent people nationwide. It’s changing the podcasting landscape.

0:00.0	Welcome to Angry Americans. Welcome to episode 46. I'm your host, Paul Reikoff.
0:20.4	And in this episode, even though America's eyes are focused on New Hampshire and looking back at Iowa and looking forward to Nevada and South Carolina, we're on the road again.
0:32.0	And in this episode, we're going west to the Golden State.
0:37.4	Yes.
0:39.8	I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali, Cali, I don't think so.
0:46.8	I'm going back to Cali, my friends.
0:50.7	Yes, it's cold in New Hampshire, still frozen in Iowa, heating up in South Carolina and blazing hot in Nevada.
1:00.4	But here in California, at least in L.A., it's almost always sunny and warm.
1:05.7	And especially if you're the team from the movie Parasite, or if your team is the Lakers or the Clippers,
1:12.5	or if you're a Chargers fan, hoping you might actually land Tom Brady as your QB next season.
1:18.4	Or if your Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who just bought David Geffin's Benedict Canyon home for $165 million,
1:30.4	setting a new record for Los Angeles.
1:36.1	It's sunny and warm for lots of folks in La La Land, especially the week after the Oscars,
1:41.7	where there's a good chance Bong Joon Ho, the director of Parasite, might still be in town drunk somewhere right now. But even when you're in the state of
1:45.8	sunshine and Hollywood smiles, basking in the afterglow of the Oscars, avoiding the smog
1:51.8	and absorbing the cloud of cannabis smoke that's constant, and even when you can see the Pacific
1:57.3	ocean and you're thousands of miles away from Donald Trump. Even with all that,
2:02.6	if you're not angry, you're not paying attention, dude. When you look at Vindman's, the person he
2:08.1	reports to said horrible things, avoided the chain of command, leaked, did a lot of bad things.
2:14.9	And so we sent him on his way to a much different location.
2:19.5	And the military can handle him any way they want. General Millie has him now. I congratulate General
2:25.3	Millie. He can have him. And his brother also. So we'll find out what happened. I mean, we'll find out.
