Rick Smith Show - 09-07-2019 by Progressive Voices

Jack Moline is filling in for Welton Gaddy. On the next State of Belief Radio,

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. The three-term Democrat from Rhode Island is one of the fiercest champions of action on climate change. We’ll hear his thoughts on the politics – and morality – of this crisis.

Also, an update on the theocratic Project Blitz initiative remaking our secular democracy from Political Research Associates’ Fred Clarkson.

And yet another longtime ex-gay leader says he’s sorry… Oh, and that he’s gay. Well good for him, but what about 20 years of his victims? We’ll get the thoughts of GLAAD Education Director Ross Murray.

ADAM HOCHSCHILD is one of the founders of Mother Jones Magazine, and threaded through his journalism and his books - King Leopold's Ghost, Spain in Our Hearts among them - is his concern for social justice and the people who fight for it. He brings an artist's touch and a moralist's conscience to the events he grapples with. As soon as I started reading LESSONS FROM A DARK TIME, I wanted to ask him, "How did we get thorough dark times in our past? How are we going to get through these?"

Another week in the United States of Serfs and Lords.

The reason we can't have a government that promotes the GENERAL WELFARE over the welfare of the 1% is because of the legal bribes built right into the system.

Eric Trump is confused by journalism.

Twitler isn't just raiding the Federal Treasury for his wall - he's raiding it for his tacky hotels.

We'll discuss another week of madness.

STOP VAPING immediately unless you do this. Plus, isn't it neglect to let a kid not eat right, and, when are homeless responsible for themselves? Tune in daily at reallykarel.com and listen to Married Men and watch the video on all services!
