    Jan 10 2025

    Here we go again. Another promise made, and another promise broken, This time, it's Elon Musk, the DOGE-boi himself, admitting that his program probably won't be able to come up with the 2 trillion in cuts he promised during the campaign. So far, Trump and his new work wife have rolled back pretty much every campaign promise, so expect more of this going forward. But you can bet the mortgage that they will keep their promises to the ultra-wealthy, because they always do. Today we speak with Michael Linden of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and Karla Walter of The Center for American Progress about the policies of the incoming administration and what they will really do for and to American working families.

    The Rick Smith Show - January 9, 2025
    Jan 9 2025

    Another day of chaos theater from the soon-to-be President of The United States. After seeing this train wreck before, we've become accustomed to hearing and then ignoring the crazy things he says, so he goes bigger and crazier until we can ignore him no more. Today he's talking about annexing Greenland and Canada, invading the Panama Canal, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. You just can't make this stuff up. Meanwhile, our guests are here to talk about things that actually matter. Join us as we speak with Economist Matias Vernengo and Alex Jaxson of Social Security Works. Join us for the only sane hour in American media.

    The Rick Smith Show - January 8, 2025
    Jan 8 2025

    Today we're talking about business, and how so many Americans seem to think that running government "like a business" is something we should want. In fact, it was a motivating factor for many voters in the last election. Well, now that the corporate vultures are about to take control, we're all going to learn what running a country "like a business" really means, and we're not going to like it. Our guest today is Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing.

Simply no one else like Rick

I started listening to the Rick Smith Show when I first moved to Pennsylvania and Rick was in the early days of building his show. I frequently say that Rick taught me everything I needed to know about Pennsylvania politics. Since those days, the Rick Smith Show has grown national in scope, bringing unparalleled focus on the stories that matter to working-class Americans. Rick's slogan "the voice of the working-class" couldn't be more on the mark. There is no other show that brings the voices of the labor movement, workers' struggles, and politics and policies critical to working families.

And I challenge you not to laugh in between the serious discussions. Rick is one of a kind.
