The Rick Smith Show for 1-31-2017

Lily Eskelsen García, president of the National Education Association (NEA) joins Rick to talk about the nomination and confirmation process of Amway Billionaire Betsy Devos as the US Secretary of Education, to explain why Devos is one of the worst possible choices for the job, and expose her business ties to some very shady Education Inc. operations.

David Yankovich, Veteran, Writer, Activist, and Founder of #FearNothing joins Rick to discuss the power of We the People marching in the streets and holding politicians accountable and what to do when those politicians appear to not be listening.   

Ryan Erickson, Associate Director of Economic Campaigns at the Center for American Progress Action Fund joins Rick to discuss the possibility of another Goldman Sachs alum taking reigns of a government agency and explain what Steven Mnuchin is not the person working people want as the head of the nation’s Treasury Department.  Ryan lays out the realities of alleged red lining, robo signing, and mass foreclosures by Mnuchin as a means for Democrats to ask serious questions.
