The Rick Smith Show 1-21-2026

On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick Smith looks back at the nightmare that has been Year One of Trump’s second presidency—chaos, cruelty, and the constant distractions working people can’t afford. Rick also breaks down Trump’s latest wild message about Greenland and what it says about the priorities of this administration. Then Rick is joined by Aretha Morgan, a striking pediatric ER nurse at NewYork-Presbyterian and NYSNA board member, to discuss the fight of nearly 15,000 nurses demanding respect, fair contracts, and safe staffing levels. This is what standing up looks like.
