The Daily Jolt with Rick Smith

Weekdays 5-6 AM

Hosted by veteran labor broadcaster Rick Smith and powered by LaborForce Media, The Daily Jolt with Rick Smith delivers the stories, facts, interviews, and solutions shaping working-class America. The show is designed to cut through political spin, corporate talking points, and misinformation by focusing on the issues that directly affect workers, unions, families, and communities.

“This is not outrage for the sake of outrage,” said Rick Smith. “This is good outrage — the kind rooted in facts, fairness, and the belief that working people deserve better. Every day, we are going to talk about what is happening, why it matters, who is affected, and what people can do about it.”

Each episode of The Daily Jolt will open with Three Things You Need to Know Today, giving you a clear and energetic rundown of the labor, workforce, political, economic, and civic issues that matter most. The show will then move into major “jolt” topics — stories that should concern, frustrate, or motivate working people, including employer abuse, anti-union activity, workforce exploitation, corporate greed, attacks on benefits, threats to civic rights, misinformation about unions, and public policy decisions that impact workers and families.
