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.

The War on Workers has commenced and Kentucky appears to be in the lead to be the first state to assault its workforce by ramming through a series of No Rights at War ALEC driven piece of legislation. Today on the program we talk what that means for all workers and ask those who voted for Trump and the GOP if this is the change they voted for.
Sherry Frost, New Hampshire State Representative joins Rick talk about the push by Republicans in her state to follow Kentucky’s lead in the race to the bottom for workers rights and what citizens in her home state and across the nation need to be doing to push back these extreme attacks on democracy.
Will Fischer, Executive Director of the Union Veterans Council joins Rick to talk about the climate in Washington DC as the Republican worker war machine revs its engine to steamroll federal workers and what that will mean for veterans as the GOP pushes their VA privatization poison.
Ilanna Sharon Mandel, Author, Filmmaker, equality & disability rights activist from Canada joins Rick to talk Canadian sentiment toward what they see coming from south of their border and to discuss what attacks she sees coming for those fighting for equality and disability rights.
