Ed Schultz Kicks off New MSNBC Show with USW’s Gerard

Popular progressive radio show host Ed Schultz, who now anchors ”The Ed Show“ on MSNBC television, hosted Leo Gerard, president of the Steelworkers (USW), on the program’s first installment Monday night.
Gerard told viewers: “We cannot put this country back on its feet by continuing to worship at the knees of the financial community that put us in this mess. We’ve got to go back to start to make things in America; we’ve got to put people back to work; we’ve got to save the auto industry.”
Gerard discussed the loss of manufacturing jobs in the United States and what the demise of our auto industry would mean to other sectors. He stressed the need to reform health care and fix our trade policies with China. (Click here for the full interview.)
“The Ed Show” airs Monday through Friday from 6-7 p.m. EDT on MSNBC. Says Schultz:
I look forward to having a day-to-day discussion with fellow Americans on issues that really matter to all of us.
A 30-year radio veteran, Schultz is the top-rated progressive talker on radio and an avid voice for the middle class. His syndicated radio program, “The Ed Schultz Show,” airs live weekdays from noon to 3 p.m. (EDT) with a weekly audience of more than 3 million listeners on 100 stations across the country.
Says MSNBC President Phil Griffin:
Ed’s proven that he can connect with Americans….He has been the breakthrough talent in an industry dominated by conservative voices.
