This is the Tom Hartman program.

Well we've got a lot to talk about today, welcome to the program, I want to start out

with what happened yesterday, I think this is a really important thing to discuss and

also the inescapable truth about right-wing billionaires and Donald Trump.

But I wanted to start out by pointing out what actually happened yesterday because I've

been watching the media and I've not been seeing anybody actually talking about this,

which I find frankly shocking.

We start out with the big lie, right?

The big lie is that there's voter fraud in the United States, there isn't.

There's never been any study ever with any credibility at all in the history of the

United States, or at least in the history of my lifetime, that shows that there is any

kind of substantial number of people who are illegally voting, who are not citizens or

who are voting twice or who are voting in the names of people who are dead, things like

that.

George W. Bush spent two and a half years looking for this, seven of his, remember seven

of his federal prosecutors, his U.S. attorneys refused to drop everything and look for voter

fraud and he fired them, remember that was a big scandal in 2002.

And he ultimately had all 100 U.S. attorneys at the top of their list, hiring staff to find

voter fraud in their district, in the northern part of Alabama, in the southern part of New

York, in the eastern district of Colorado, whatever it may be, he had attorneys on it and

they spent years and millions, tens of millions of dollars trying to find voter fraud in the

United States.
