The Rick Smith Show 11-27-2025

On The Rick Smith Show, Rick is joined by NC-9 congressional candidate and 24-year Army veteran Rich Ojeda to discuss the Pentagon’s investigation into Senator Mark Kelly and other Democrats over a video reminding soldiers they must refuse illegal orders, and what that means for civil-military relations in a second Trump term. Ojeda warns that weaponizing the chain of command against lawful dissent endangers democracy and service members alike. Later, Ruark Hotopp, president of AFGE Local 3928, details collapsing federal worker morale under Trump’s attacks on collective bargaining and makes the case for passing the Protect America’s Workforce Act.
