On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick talks with Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works, about the devastating consequences of Speaker Mike Johnson blocking a vote to extend ACA subsidies and why it could hit working families hardest. Lawson also reacts to Donald Trump’s vile, tone-deaf response to the murder of Rob Reiner. Later, Aurelia Glass, policy analyst with the American Worker Project, joins Rick to discuss the report “Year 1 of the Second Trump Administration Made the Working Class Weaker,” and what it reveals about policy failures undermining America’s workers.
