The Rick Smith Show 7-13-2026

On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick talks with Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works, about his new piece “Trump’s Latest Corruption: Hijacking Social Security,” arguing that, like the reflecting pool, the Kennedy Center, and even the White House, Social Security is a sacred American institution Trump is abusing for his own financial and political gain. Later, journalist and two‑time Maine gubernatorial candidate Pat LaMarche joins to unpack the imploding Graham Platner situation and what it reveals about power, accountability, and the political class in Maine.Don’t miss our daily TV show on Free Speech TV: www.freespeech.orgFind us on:·       DirecTV (Channel 348)·       Dish (Channel 269)·       Sling·       Roku·       Apple TV·       Amazon Fire TV·       Get the FSTV iOS app HEREDid you miss last night’s show?
