On the Rick Smith Show, Rick dives into the real toll of Trump’s war on government with Mother Jones reporter Julia Métraux, discussing her latest piece, “The Human Costs of Trump’s War on Government.” Métraux exposes the suffering of disabled federal workers and families caught in the chaos of shutdowns, layoffs, and dismantled public services. Later, Raw Story reporter Sarah Burris joins to unpack Trump’s bizarre claim he’s “not getting into heaven,” his shutdown brinkmanship, and his growing obsession with political retribution. Together, they paint a sharp picture of power, cruelty, and the everyday Americans paying the price for it.
