The Rick Smith Show 8-7-2025

On The Rick Smith Show, Rick discusses a recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision that empowers President Trump to fire federal employees under the guise of national security—a move that strips collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands and makes it easier to alter working conditions or terminate staff. Labor attorney David Borer (Gilbert Employment Law) unpacks the legal and constitutional stakes, warning of unprecedented executive overreach. Jennifer Soult, President of AFGE Local 1862, details the GOP’s “big nightmare bill” targeting the VA, explaining how it attacks both veterans’ healthcare and the rights, protections, and livelihoods of VA workers.
