The Rick Smith Show 2-24-2026

On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick is joined by Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works, to lay out The People’s State of the Union, a working-class counter to Trump’s SOTU spin. Alex explains how activists are demanding dignity, expanded Social Security, and real democracy instead of billionaire talking points. Later, Rick talks with Sarah Burris, Senior Editor at Alternet, about Trump’s bizarre move to send a military hospital ship to Greenland, the online mockery that followed, and how his so-called Save America Act doubles down on cruelty and corruption.
