The Rick Smith Show 8-14-2026

On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick talks with Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works, about a so-called centrist plan to gut workers' benefits under a Social Security bill dressed up as the "Promise Act" because nothing says promise like raising your retirement age. Then Rick takes on the trans sports issue head-on, cutting through the manufactured outrage to talk about what's actually at stake.
