The Rick Smith Show

Bob Ney: The extra unemployment money expired last week, not the end of July as they'd said. I wonder if the new stimulus bill would make extra unemployment money retroactive.

Renato Mariotti, Former federal prosecutor @renato_mariotti

Renato Mariotti: People are understandable concerned about the federal troops being sent to US cities, incl Chicago. The Inspector General is opening up an investigation into Portland.

Sarah Burris, Reporter, Raw Story @SarahBurris @RawStory

Sarah Burris: All of these people who claim to be Republicans & say they're pro-life but encourage senior citizens to sacrifice themselves for the economy are full of crap.

Valerie Novack, CAP Disability Justice Initiative Fellow @MADtastically @CAPDisability

Valerie Novack: When a group of my friends want to go out, I have to ask if that restaurant has a ramp out front, or if the bathroom is on the same floor. Most people don't think about these types of things.

Harley Litzelman: Police abolitionists ask,"Why was this crime committed?" The places that have the least amt of crime are not the places w/ fewest number of police. The places w/ the least crime are places that have basic needs, even wants, met

Bob Ney: During my time in Congress, nothing got to this point with AOC & Yoho. He shouldn't have used offensive words.

Jeff Hauser, Executive Director of the Revolving Door Project @jeffhauser @revolvingdoorDC @CEPRDC

Jeff Hauser: The GOP wants to get rid of the liabilities; they want employees to beg for jobs & have no recourse if going to that job makes them sick. It devalues the lives of working people.

Owen E. Herrnstadt: I think Nancy Pelosi & other Dems got Heroes Act passed, which incl unemployment & getting states to keep people working. I think it's terrible to talk about stopping unemployment to get ppl to go back to work. Go back to wor

DevinPandy, Congressional Candidate GA-9th @DevinPandy @NDLB2020

Devin Pandy: The first thing that went wrong in recent history was allowing a Secretary of State to oversee his own election race. That's where GA went wrong in recent history. We wouldn't be in his situation if Stacey Abrams were in office.

Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: John Lewis wasn't just a civil rights icon; he was an icon for everyone. I worked in Congress with him & he just wanted to accomplish things. He was persistent. He supported me during my tough times & gave me a hug when I saw him 4 yrs ago at the convention.
