The Rick Smith Show

Kenneth M. Mash: Students & graduates are putting off getting married, putting off having families.

@APSCUF

@kmmash

Fred Potter: An independent contractor has the right to go broke. They shoulder all the expenses of their truck, and they seldom are able to draw Social Security benefits in retirement.

Scott Dworkin: What's going to happen when Hunter & Joe Biden come out & say what happened, how Hunter got the advisory position? Rick: Hunter & Joe had nothing to do with this; it's a deception. Although I'll say I don't like nepotism.

Sam Berger: Friday feels like a long time away from today; I think there will be a tremendous amt of pressure on Senators to hear from witnesses, esp. John Bolton.

Cheri Jacobus: I left the GOP 3 1/2 years ago when Trump was nominated. I started the #ILeftTheGOP hashtag yesterday & it trended #1 & even became a news item. I'd asked people to say when they left the GOP when they used the hashtag.

Steve Catanese: PA still has a minimum wage of $7.25. The claim is unions are too powerful in PA. I wish! If unions controlled the Commonwealth, we'd have a much higher minimum wage.

Propane Jane: This opens up a can of worms, and the Republicans need to think long and hard if their bribes are enough to last them till late in their lives. I think Bolton was put there to be a mitigating force.

David Yankovich: If Trump actually had any courage, which he doesn't, he should testify himself. Rick: I'm sure his defense attorneys are telling him to stop with the Twitter already.

Your homework while I'm off-air for a bit: Read the transcript.

@BobNey

has me thinking now. If Parnas recorded Trump, could Bolton also have recorded him?? #RickShow

Sarah Burris: Marsha Blackburn has stepped off the floor like four times to go have a tantrum on Twitter. Rick: She's in the bag--she's got better things to worry about than her job.

@SarahBurris

@RawStory

James Lamond: The real collusion in 2016 wasn't between Russia and GOP, it was between Democrats & Ukraine--according to Russia.

Adele M. Stan: Rick Wiles recently called the impeachment hearings a "Jew Coup." It's not as if the WH doesn't know this. We know they know b/c Trump, Jr., gave Wiles an interview & my coworker Kyle Mantyla wrote about it.

Bob Ney: It was unusual for NYT to endorse two women. Why didn't they pick ONE person? Are they trying to get new subscribers?

AG: Nobody ever accused Trump of being a smart fellow. It's astonishing yet somehow surprising that he said he has "all the material."

#ImpeachmentTrial

Rep. Charles Booker: Mitch McConnell forgot how he won, and he's taking us for granted. It's obvious. Now the house is on fire. This is not a partisan moment; this is bigger than Trump, McConnell. It's our future.

@Booker4KY

Ben Jackson: I'm a little torn over what happened in Richmond. On one hand, we need to be able to peacefully assemble to stand up to gov't when we think they're doing something wrong. On other hand, this was a heavily armed group.
