By working people. For working people. Welcome to The Rick Smith Show.
Working Americans are tired of listening to think tank approved corporate news and commentary. They want a direct, honest approach to the issues that matter, so this is what The Rick Smith Show provides.
No puppets. No focus groups. No talking points.
Tiffany Muller: We need to make sure we have fair voting maps so voters are selecting their elected officials, not the other way around.
Timothy Noah: I was stunned by Pres. Biden's announcement about unions, but I shouldn't have been because he ran on supporting unions.
Bob Ney: I hate to see this, but I'm not sure that the Biden admin is crying about Teera Nanden's asking to be removed from consideration for budget office. She was a Clinton choice.
Steve Hofstetter: I don't think "normal" normal is going to happen for a couple of years, incl. things like international travel w/o quarantine. We'll get to a shadow of normal sooner.
Scott Paul: Now it's up to all of us to persuade our elected officials to do the right thing.
Steven Donziger: The playbook being used against me can be used against anyone else, which is part of the reason we're working so hard on this--incl. human rights activists, indigenous people's activists, etc.
Jared Yates Sexton: Democrats need to stop dealing with these people & call them out for being absurd like they are.
Tim Driscoll: Marty Walsh knows the importance of pensions & how they help a community.
Joe Sanberg: Who wants to live in a society where people who work full time live in poverty?
Bob Ney: The context of it, and the day, matter. Times have changed. I still think Gov. Cuomo is doomed.
Scott Dworkin: I'd like to see how Trump & Don Jr. will duke it out in court. Trump set things up so Don Jr. would take the fall, but I'm sure Don Jr. has an escape hatch, too.
Brett Pransky: I think the hottest person on the deposition circuit right now is Don Jr. for things like funneling money into Trump family pockets.

Chrissy Stroop: It's a shame that there's almost no prospect of the Equality Act passing in the Senate & that Democrats aren't playing hardball, getting rid of the filibuster, to pass it.
