On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick talks with Gabe Hagen, owner of Brick Road Coffee, about Small Business for America’s Future’s new survey, “Is Christmas Cancelled?” Hagen describes how affordability pressures, shrinking customer spending, and rising costs are squeezing Main Street from every direction. Later, Naveed Shah, Political Director at Common Defense, joins the show to discuss reports that Trump bombed Venezuelan boats, raising alarms about potential war crimes and dangerous escalations. Rick connects the threads between economic strain and foreign policy recklessness in a packed, urgent conversation about the stakes for working people.
