Live RICKSPLANATORY: Making Sense of the World in Light of Venezuela - Explainer Interactive

Thank you Kay Smith [https://substack.com/profile/257158237-kay-smith], Deborah J. [https://substack.com/profile/788865-deborah-j], Bee's Free Verse/True Verse [https://substack.com/profile/208290729-bees-free-versetrue-verse], ROSA E. [https://substack.com/profile/177543232-rosa-e], Darnell Martin [https://substack.com/profile/78235340-darnell-martin], and many others for tuning into my live video! All who joined today, a huge thank you! I’m grateful for your time, and I hope the information and context provided helped set boundaries around what’s going on in the world. If you take anything away from our time together, I hope you’ll gain a better sense of the big, historically shaped systems that drive countries to do what they do. They are in force now, and when the United States drifts from its First Principle of “Rule by Consent of the Governed” towards oligarchic greed and graft, we will rise up. I mentioned in the video for YouTube viewers to Like and Subscribe. What I also should have said was “PLEASE hit the like button (if you do), RESTACK so this reaches more people - attaching a recommendation from you is helpful too. Finally, please, please consider becoming a paid subscriber to the publication and podcast. If that’s just not doable right now, NO PROBLEM, I totally get it - it’s tight and scary - but do consider becoming a FREE subscriber! Two things I also asked: * Please visit the LiftUpDemocracy.org [https://liftupdemocracy.org/]site and read this article about the job claims of the Trump administration for a thorough debunking [https://www.liftupdemocracy.org/jobs-are-not-booming-like-trump-says/]. We’re still putting the like/share stuff on that site, but it will grow into our hub for organizing to Win the House, Senate, Gubernatorial races, and a slew of local and regional elections for progressives! * Please take a moment, whether you watch the video or saw the Live, to fill out the Reader Survey, [https://form.typeform.com/to/IARcbGan] but read this first: All fields with identifying information are OPTIONAL. I don’t want to know who you are if you don’t want me to! Just leave them blank and click past them. The survey is available at this link and takes under 2 minutes to complete. [https://form.typeform.com/to/IARcbGan] https://form.typeform.com/to/IARcbGan It really helps. Lastly, please subscribe if you haven’t, free or paid, we welcome you and I personally thank you: We’re entirely viewer/reader supported. All monies collected go straight to the production costs of our work. The people you see here and the ones you don’t behind the scenes are volunteers. We are so grateful for you, and hope you LIKE, RESTACK, COMMENT, and ENJOY our work (find it helpful). This is a public episode.

LIVE w Rick Herbst (Adverse Action) VENEZUELA ATTACKS - Updates / Breaking News / Analysis

Thank you Cat [https://substack.com/profile/94117599-cat], Jeanne Elbe [https://substack.com/profile/96662126-jeanne-elbe], Dannys [https://substack.com/profile/9544699-dannys], Judith Evans [https://substack.com/profile/6218387-judith-evans], Pamela Austin [https://substack.com/profile/4932925-pamela-austin], and many others for tuning into my live video! I’m grateful to everyone who joined this morning on short notice. I hope you found it informative and at least a bit interactive - thanks for the questions during the cast, I hope I was able to answer them accurately. Depending on what comes of Trump’s press conference at Mar-a-Lago at 11 am EDT, I may come back on afterwards for a shorter piece on analysis. It’ll take me about 20 minutes to go live after his yapper quits making noises. Also, I totally forgot: Please LIKE, RESTACK, and Subscribe if you would. It helps me immensely in supporting this effort! I am grateful to every single one of you who has supported me with a paid subscription, and if that’s not in the cards - that’s OK - please be welcomed to the community with a FREE subscription - they’re the same (I don’t paywall). Lift Up Democracy and Adverse Action are viewer/reader-supported publications. Your support matters - whether free or paid, please subscribe! ALSO… I published an unrelated way-early-morning piece today on Lift Up Democracy.org’s (LUD) website, mostly because the Substack format really sucks. It’s here (another browser window will probably open): Jobs Are Not Booming Like Trump Says [https://www.liftupdemocracy.org/jobs-are-not-booming-like-trump-says/] And take the Reader/Viewer Survey to let me know how we’re doing - Confidential unless you want to identify yourself Reader Survey [https://form.typeform.com/to/IARcbGan] I have much better control on the LUD site! It’s organized better, reads faster, and is generally easier to understand. It’s all about Trump’s bogus claims of American-Born Job Growth being historically high. Worth at least a glance, which you can do on the LUD site. (YOU DON’T NEED TO PAY ANYTHING, in fact, DON’T - the “cheapest” subscription is FREE and will notify you of new updates only if you want it. Don’t buy the $1 one, it is only there bc the hosting company requires it.) Lastly, I’m grateful for the assistance of a behind the scenes author, Jack Boyle, who’s helping us out with LUD reporting, especially on the insider tracks in Washington and the DoD. Please Like this if you do, restack, and thanks for joining. Take care, and I will see you soon! -rick This is a public episode.

Special NY Day - Rick+Lisa Show! JD McGee Vance, MN Fraud, Grievance Culture & More!

Thank you julie elder [https://substack.com/profile/8250912-julie-elder], Dannys [https://substack.com/profile/9544699-dannys], Maura [https://substack.com/profile/187163453-maura], K K [https://substack.com/profile/296464590-k-k], Richard Hogan, MD, PhD(2), DBA [https://substack.com/profile/205390666-richard-hogan-md-phd2-dba], and many others for tuning into my live video with Lisa | We Are The Third Estate [https://substack.com/profile/57081414-lisa-we-are-the-third-estate]! We are grateful for the people who made time to join us on New Year’s Day! Our episode covered a lot of ground with clips and discussion on the MN fraud investigations and debunking the large amount of BS shoveled by the Trump regime in cutting off funding. They failed to realize the innocent victims get trampled under their ham-handed handling of a situation that already has its own process - for CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS that have been ONGOING SINCE BEFORE 2022. Children are now knee-jerk victims, as are parents who live 1 paycheck away from homelessness who can’t go to work now that childcare is severely underfunded, REGARDLESS of criminal involvement. We go on to examine JD Vance’s alarming TP USA comments about: * Not having to “apologize for being white”. I’ve never apologized or been asked to for THAT, but I think that Vance is reprehensible for making people of color the targets for hatred and giving more permission slips to people with nothing but hate to spew. * Christianity is the root religion of the United States, just like Russell Vought wants it to be in his Christo-fascist hot dream. Right on camera, Vance spells it out. See for yourself. Thanks again for joining - we’re looking forward to our next episode this weekend and want you to join if you’re able. Please, take a moment to give us either anonymous (skip the email / substack handle fields) (not mandatory!) or directed comments and feedback or questions! We take your feedback VERY seriously and appreciate it VERY MUCH.
