The Rick Smith Show

Sarah Burris: The people who are going to be disproportionately hurt by this virus are...Republican voters. Are they intentionally trying to kill their own people? It sure sounds like it.

Sara Nelson: Good news: The congressional oversight commission has appointed Eliz. Warren to oversee what Mnuchin is doing. That commission can oversee what he is doing & call him out on it & tell the American public.

Bob Ney: You don't want an investigation into Trump right now because it'll go off-course, especially in the midst of a pandemic.

Pete Dominick: Barack Obama has been keeping quiet on purpose; he'll be a formidable force on the campaign trail for his former VP. Michelle Obama will also be great for the campaign.

Jared Yates Sexton: This pandemic, while terrible, gives us the chance to take a long look in the mirror to decide who we are and who we want to be.

Sam Berger: An important thing to remember about Wisconsin is that the disenfranchisement comes in part from the overwhelmingly gerrymandered voting districts.

Meg Wiehe: The CARES Act did include a slush fund; it also included a stimulus package. The packages for unemployment insurance were remarkable, expanding who can qualify (incl self-employed) as well as the amount workers can receive.

Robert Kraig: The entire WI Republican party voted against the COVID relief package; they're willing to put lives at risk in the hopes of keeping a Republican incumbent's seat on the WI Supreme Court.

Chrissy Stroop: People like the woman in the video [going to church during pandemic shut down] believe that they're special. Christian nationalism is the single most defining feature of a Trump voter; Christians are more equal than others.

Bob Ney: Congressman Clyburn made a smart move by saying the President wasn't being investigated, that they [coronavirus commission] were following the money. The commission can do some very valuable things, like making sure every dime is spent appropriately.

@bobney

Propane Jane: It's difficult to understand Texas if you don't live here. Some of the biggest cities are blue, & local gov't has shut down events & the cities themselves for weeks now.

Jason Rabinowitz: We represent 14,000 workers, incl 911 dispatchers, University of CA workers. We won an agreement from the Univ of CA that no workers will be laid off for coronavirus-related reasons through the fiscal year (June 2020)

@Teamsters

William Attig: We are concerned about a job market recession & high unemployment among vets coming out of service. We're concerned about the economic fallout & about putting vets in isolation where routine has been thrown to the wind.

Bob Ney: Right now the American people are wondering how they'll make it through the crisis, if they're going to be able to go back to work, if they'll get sick & die.

@bobney

Timothy Craig D.O.: Masks are a good idea. It won't protect you but it'll protect others from you. You won't be projecting your droplets to others.

Abe Amoros: Northeast PA bordering on NY, and eastern PA bordering on NJ puts us in danger of contracting the virus; our governor has done a good job trying to keep us safe. He's telling us things we don't want to hear, like closures, but they're necessary.
