The Importance of Character

The Rick Smith Show ·

2024/08/28

August 28, 2024In a NYT op-ed from earlier this week, an argument was made that Trump could win the 2024 election “on character.” And again, as we do almost every week, we find ourselves stunned by our cowardly corporate media and their willingness to defer to the worst kinds of behavior, even calling it good. And as legacy media shows its belly to the wealth class, hard-working Americans are being thrown under the bus by the forces of greed. We discuss this and more with Ruark Hotopp of The

America's Coach

The Rick Smith Show ·

2024/08/19

August 19, 2024Republicans keep saying that Project 2025 is not their plan, even though it was written by some of Trump’s closest aides and allies. But we know better. As VP Candidate Tim Walz says “when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” We discuss Project 2025 and more with Claude Cummings, President of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and Labor Historian and Writer Erik Loomis.Don’t miss our daily TV show on Free Speech TV: www.freespeech.orgFind us on:· DirecTV

It’s All Part of The Plan

2024/08/16

August 16, 2024While Donald Trump tries to distance himself from Project 2025, behind the scenes, his team is getting ready to put the plan in motion the moment Trump wins. But first, he has to win, or he has to find a way to steal a win even if he doesn’t have the votes.

August 15, 2024It’s election season, and working people are deciding who they’re going to vote for, but that didn’t stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk from bashing working families and laughing about it as they droned on for hours in an interview Tuesday night on the platform Musk owns. We discuss their shared disdain for thew working class with Colin Seeburger of The center for American Progress, and Labor Writer Roger KersonDon’t miss our daily TV show on Free Speech TV: www.freespeech.orgFind us

August 13, 2024Project 2025 is a disaster waiting to happen. It will decimate freedoms for many of our most vulnerable citizens, and it will force us into what can only be called a form of Christian Sharia Law. Put simply, Project 2025 will dismantle America, and we simply can’t allow that to happen.

The Attack on Our Schools

August 12, 2024The Trump team has an education plan – it’s called Project 2025, and should Trump win, it’s going to decimate public education in America.

Crowd Size

The Rick Smith Show ·

2024/08/09

August 9, 2024As people flock to the Harris/Walz events, the GOP is just getting weirder and weirder, with Donald Trump making odd claims on his social media that Biden is somehow going to re-enter the race, and that Kamala Harris leading the ticket is now some kind of coup. Meanwhile, Dems are on message, talking about issues that working families actually care about.

Radically Normal

The Rick Smith Show ·

2024/08/08

August 8, 2024We have a VP pick, and the attacks have begun. But conservatives have a problem – unlike their candidates, who get weirder by the day, Tim Walz is a normal guy. He’s a teacher, a vet, a hunter, and a football coach. If Walz is the radical lefty that the GOP says he is, then so is pretty much everyone else. We discuss the new Democratic ticket with Matt McNeil of AM 950 in Minneapolis, and we also discuss a bombshell new report on the US Border Patrol with Erin Siegal McIntyre of Mother

Magical Thinking

The Rick Smith Show ·

2024/08/07

August 7, 2024For decades now, American conservatives have been plagued by magical thinking. From trickle-down economics to “Mexico is going to pay for the wall” Americans have been fed a steady diet of promises that simply never come true. Yet magical thinking still dominates conservative arguments and pushes Americans farther and farther away from their communities.

Reagan the Hatchet Man

The Rick Smith Show ·

2024/08/06

August 6, 2024On August 3, 1981, Ronald Reagan fired 11,000 air traffic controllers. He also banned them from federal government jobs for life. Their crime? Well, they had the audacity to go on strike over unsafe working conditions that put workers and passengers in danger. It signaled an all-out assault on the working class, and that assault has continued for decades, making the rich immorally rich, and the rest of us struggling to make ends meet.

Taking On Power

2024/08/02

August 2, 2024Our corporate overlords are simply draining us of every dime, nickel and penny. Everywhere we look, we find monopolies or near-monopolies driving up prices and feasting on our lack of choice. We all know that the GOP will never do anything about this, but Dems have been weak on working class issues for decades as well. There’s an opportunity here to right some wrongs and create a government that truly works for the people. But will it happen? Join us and guest Hamilton Nolan of In

Who's it Gonna Be?

2024/08/01

August 1, 2024Donald Trump has a running mate, at least until he tries feed him to the mob. But Kamala Harris has yet to choose someone, and that is fueling a lot of speculation from inside and outside the beltway. Also, Joe Biden has announced a boatload of Supreme Court reforms that are sure to have a role in the election as well.

Why Are They So Weird?

July 31, 2024Sharks. Batteries. Childless cat ladies. Project 2025. The list goes on. As we look at the ideas coming from today’s American right, the same analysis keeps surfacing “The GOP dudes are just plain weird.” We examine some of the weirdness and how far it strays from what American working families want with today’s guests: Devon Ombres of The Center for American Progress and Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing.Don’t miss our daily TV show on Free Speech

With 100 days until the election, the Trump campaign is showing some weaknesses, the Harris campaign is rising fast, and our legacy media is just happy to have itself a horse race again.

Hop vs. Hate

The Rick Smith Show ·

2024/07/26

July 26, 2024So there’s an election coming, and America is going to have to make a decision. But unlike past elections, this time we have two candidates so different from each other in every imaginable way – that our vote this year may just define us and tell us the kind of America we think we deserve. We discuss this and more with Dave Madland of The Center for American Progress, and former OSHA Deputy Secretary Jordan Barab.Don’t miss our daily TV show on Free Speech TV: www.freespeech.orgFind us
