    On The Rick Smith Show, Marine Corps veteran and defense analyst Virginia Burger breaks down Trump’s “a whole civilization will die” post and explains how it places military personnel in an increasingly untenable position between politics and duty. Later, Ryan Mulholland of the Center for American Progress asks whether Trump’s war‑driven policies are actually making it harder to produce things in America, arguing that militarized spending and industrial policy are undermining domestic manufacturing and working‑class security.

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.

Simply no one else like Rick
