    Trump loves to play dress up, especially when it makes him look like a working-class guy. His most recent stunt was to close down a Pennsylvania McDonalds so he could serve burgers and fries to pre-screened actors pretending to be customers. It's all just part of the grift, and we discuss this and more with former GOP Congressman Bob Ney and Journalist Sarah Burris of raw Story.

    Election Day is coming, and both campaigns are making their closing arguments. One side is telling us how they want to help the working class, and the other is telling us why we should hate the working class. Not a difficult choice, or so it would seem. We discuss this and more with Kevin Moore of The Teamsters and Dian Roy Smith of AFSCME.

    For a very long time now, the right and the GOP have been messaging to the working class, even claiming to care about working people. But any wise working person can tell you that when evaluating politicians and parties, we shouldn't listen to what they say, but we should look very closely at what they do. We discuss this and more with Bill Carroll of The Teamsters, and Labor Journalist Steven Greenhouse.

Profile Image for Kevin Mahoney

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.
