On The Rick Smith Show, Rick engages former NLRB chair Lauren McFerran, Senior Fellow at The Century Foundation, to discuss her explosive report, "Trump’s Assault on Independent Agencies Endangers Us All." McFerran exposes how Trump’s unprecedented efforts to politicize federal agencies threaten their ability to serve the public and hold corporations accountable. With mass firings, installation of political loyalists, and new executive orders placing expert regulators under White House control, essential worker and consumer protections are at risk.​

Rick also interviews Bucknell economics professor Matias Vernengo, who draws a stark line between Larry Summers’ disastrous neoliberal economic policies and the erosion of Main Street’s prosperity. Together, they detail how these attacks and failed policies undermine democracy and the public good.​
