The Rick Smith Show Full Three Hours Show for 11-2-2016

Peter Montgomery, Senior Fellow, People For the American Way joins Rick to discuss the many, and varied, voter suppression scheme being touted by the alt-right, neo-Nazi’s, white supremacists, and radical fringe to disenfranchise poor and minority voters and what is being done to maintain free and open elections for all Americans.

Peter R. Zeidenberg, former Assistant District Attorney in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, and former Assistant US Attorney in the District of Columbia and at the Department of Justice Public Integrity Section joins Rick to discuss his thoughts on the FBI Director’s decision to open up the can of emails days before the Presidential election and whether or not it was the right thing to do.

Marc Stier, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center joins Rick to talk about two effective anti-poverty programs that used to have wide bipartisan support and now, given the current political environment, appear to be in jeopardy.

Will Bunch, Philadelphia Daily News columnist and Author of The Bern Identity joins Rick to talk about how far the 2016 election has moved away from talking about policies to make American workers, and their family’s lives better and what issues we should be talking about to achieve “a more perfect union.”
