    After saying they wouldn't Social Security, they're now cutting Social Security. After saying they would never cut Medicare, they're cutting Medicare. And after they said they would never ever cut Medicaid ... and the list keeps growing. And days after calling the Ukrainian President a dictator, Trump just told the press "I would never do that" when asked about it. It's almost like they're making it up as they go. David Gonzalez from The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is our guest.

  • The Rick Smith Show - February 28, 2025
    Feb 28 2025

    In the history of American politics, there has never been a politician more immune to his own lies than Donald Trump. It's almost as if his minions feed on the lies, even when, perhaps especially when those lies harm them directly. It's a phenomenon never before seen in America, and frankly, we don't know what to make of it. We will discuss this and more with Jimmy Williams, President of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, and Jeff Hauser of The Revolving Door Project.

    While Elon Musk and his team of teenage virgins is busy destroying our government, they're telling some pretty massive lies about their "progress." Many times now, they have lied, and lied big, about the amount of money they have "saved" us. What does this mean? Well, it means the $5000 check they promised is never going to come, and it means the lies are going to keep coming at us faster than we can refute them. Our guests are Christian Weller of The Center for American Progress, and Eric Blanc, author of "We Are The Union."

    During the campaign, Democrats warned the American people over and over again that Trump had not plane to make their lives better, or bring down prices, and that if he was elected, he would slash necessary programs to fund tax cuts for the rich. Now that he's president, Trump is gutting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security to fund - you guessed it - tax cuts for the rich. And the working class can't pay its bills with "I-told-you-sos." Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing and former GOP Congressman Bob Ney are our guests.

    After Elon Musk took the stage at CPAC swinging a chainsaw around and slurring his words badly, everyone simply gave him a pass. While the guy digging into every one of our national secrets likes to parade around in public completely wasted while firing career civil servants by the boatload - it doesn't exactly inspire confidence among America's working class. We discuss this and more with Phil Glover of AFGE and Sarah Burris of Raw Story.

    When Teamsters President Sean O'Brien spoke at the RNC ahead of the 2024 election & praised Trump, he was hoping to be in a position to shape the administration's position on labor. And what did he get for his trouble? He got a fat sack of nothing, and now Trump and his goons are preparing to gut worker protections across the board. And O'Brien is now certain to become just another historical dupe used by the corporate class to demean and impoverish the working-class.

    We begin the show with a discussion of our broken healthcare system and just how much more broken it is going to become in the next four years. Then we speak to climate expert Jenny Rowland-Shea of the Center for American Progress about Trump's attempts to roll back Biden's progress on climate policy, and then we are joined by Veteran Rich Ojeda to discuss recent and upcoming cuts to the VA and various other administrative attacks on our soldiers.

    Trump and his goons are dismantling our government as quickly as they can, and Democrats can't seem to find a way to stop them. There may not be a way to stop them. And the economy is starting to buckle as a result. We speak with Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing about the coming economic troubles, and we also speak to former GOP Congressman Bob Ney about how Congress could stop or at least slow down the destruction if only the GOP cared at all about the working families who are about to experience some serious hardship at the hands of Musk and the DOGE children.
