The Rick Smith Show

Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling thriller author @GreggHurwitz

Gregg Hurwitz: The Trump presidency could turn out to be the best thing for us IF we address the underlying social injustices, get money out of politics, etc. Let this be rock bottom & we work our way up.

@GreggHurwitz

Nick Fish, President, American Atheists @NotNickFish

Nick Fish: I think we were all a little surprised by the Supreme Court decision today. Gorsuch in particular has been idiosyncratic about things, but he interpreted the law the way he said he does--which doesn't always happen. It's a gold star day for LGBT Americans

Propane Jane @docrocktex26

Propane Jane: We need to make our votes matter again. We still have the vote, if we can hang onto it long enough to get these people out of office.

Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: There can be a lot of factors in the increase of COVID-19 cases in the states with the highest increases, incl. how those states reopened, recovery rates, etc.

Devin Pandy, Congressional Candidate GA-9 @DevinPandy

Devin Pandy: We need to demilitarize the police. Have a police force that is involved in the community that they're serving. If the only time they go into the community is to patrol, that's wrong. They should be part of the community.

Arthur Steinberg, President, AFT Pennsylvania @AFTPA @AFTPA_Pres

Arthur Steinberg: We have an inherently racist system that was exemplified by the murder in broad daylight by police; Mr. Floyd's only crime was being black. Until we stamp out that racism, we can't improve our society. It starts with education.

Stan Karp, Rethinking Schools editor @RethinkSchools @BadassTeachersA

Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: C'mon, Rick--you know you want Trump to be turned away from being able to vote...and then lose the election by one vote! Rick: You'd think he could fill out a simple form to vote. He tried to register in FL w/ out-of-state addr. Bob: He was registered in NY.

Richard Hooker, Secretary-Treasurer, Teamster Local 623 @hookabrasi @623Local @teamsters

Richard Hooker: When you make a statement like calling protesters "animals," you make what black people are already going through that much harder to deal with.

Abe Amoros, President of Amorós Communications @AmorosAbe

Abe Amoros: Incendiary language is completely unnecessary. Trump has essentially bred little dragons everywhere & they are breathing fire. They want to see the chaos so they can come back even stronger.

Tiffany Bond, Maine Senatorial Candidate @TiffanyBond @MaineRaising

Tiffany Bond: I think it's really hard to take any thing Susan Collins says seriously. I give her as much credence as I do my 7-yr old when he's trying to watch an inappropriate cartoon.

Thomas B. Malone, Attorney @ThomasBMalone2

Thomas B. Malone: Seeing Trump standing in front of the church, where the pastor didn't want him there & called it blasphemy...

@ThomasBMalone2

James Curbeam, President, Teamster’s National Black Caucus @jccurbeam @Teamsters

James Curbeam: We wouldn't be where we are today if those four officers had been arrested, taken into custody right then & there. We have a tainted, broken system that hasn't woken up yet.

@jccurbeam

@Teamsters

Propane Jane, Psychiatrist @docrocktex26

Propane Jane: We impeached Trump but the Senate refused to remove him from office, so there was no accountability there.

@docrocktex26

Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: Some of my friends tried to tell me Trump wasn't holding a Bible in front of the church--it was a fake cover over The Art of the Deal. I don't know the purpose of the photo op Rick: People literally were shot with tear glass & rubber bullets to get that photo op

Scott Dworkin: Trump found out about this virus as early as Dec. and did nothing. He lied when asked about it. He kept people on cruise ships to make the numbers look lower. Over 100,000 people have died & he claims that as a victory.
