The Rick Smith Show

Bill Scher: The last 3 1/2 yrs, Trump has hit the ground running with judges. The quality of the judges has gone down, & not all were supported by American Bar Assoc. Trump has hit 200 judges faster than anyone since Jimmy Carter.

John Feltz: Amtrak is using the pandemic as an excuse for cutting the workforce & services. It's 100% wrong & is not protecting the public. Rick: This is wrong opportunism.

@transportworker

Richard Eiker: Initially there was a very slow response to COVID at McDonald's. Now we finally have face shields at the drive-through windows; we have masks & gloves, but these things didn't appear until May.

Geoconda Argüello-Kline: Here in Las Vegas, we've been very worried about the health & safety of our workers. We want to protect all hospitality workers in LV. We've been very vocal about this before workers went back to work.

Scott Dworkin: Trump was told immediately about Putin's murder for hire; anything Russia-related, Trump is told immediately per his orders. That's the only country he wants to know everything about.

Propane Jane: I think the couple with assault rifles in the video should be charged with something. Most gun owners are married white men in the south. Racism has sustained the "well-regulated militia." This is the language that motivates these people.

@docrocktex26

Bob Ney: There's absolutely no way Trump will drop out of the election, but if I were running the Trump campaign, I'd be alarmed about the numbers.

@BobNey

Sarah Burris: Statues don't vote, so I'm not sure how saving them helps the President. There's only one Confederate soldier outside in DC; the mayor could very easily get rid of it.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: We'll get to the end of this but it'll be difficult.

David Yankovich: Biden's trying to build an online army. It'll take basic old school organizing. They need a rapid response digital structure; if they don't have that in place in the next month or two, it'll be too late.

@DavidYankovich

Carl Rosen: All workers struggles are important to our union. We need to put an end to racism & discrimination. We're glad to have the ability to have this conversation now. We've spent way too much on policing & way too little on building up communities.

Michael Flanagan: There would be constant cleaning by custodial staff for commonly-used items, like laptops, tables, etc.Where will the money for those extra cleaning supplies come from? Teachers already do GoFundMe for basic supplies b/c of budget cuts

@hiphyker

@BadassTeachersA

Bob Ney: Trump has hit hard on Huawei (a Chinese company). Right now Trump isn't running on a lot of cylinders on anything else--economy, COVID.

Jeff Hauser: South Korea is playing baseball. Germany's soccer teams are wrapping up the season. We're so far behind other countries because we have no leadership & the pandemic has been mishandled. We socially distanced but not enough.

@CEPRDC

Everett Kelley: COVID cases are spiking as states are reopening. Now is not the time to be returning DC and federal workers to the worksites.

@AFGENational

Propane Jane: NASCAR was the first to call for banning the Confederate flag. I'd asked back in 2015, "Oh my God, is this what hell freezing over looks like?!"

#InstabilityInChief

Bob Ney: The important part is why the rally in Tulsa was held, & why it was held this week: It was to energize the President because things aren't going well for him. I'm not a rocket scientist on this but the campaign manager will be fired soon. He angered Kushner.
