Summary

Thom asks Tom Perez- chair of the DNC- what contingency they have planned if the Republicans try to throw the election. Will Democrats be able to wake people up and vote in overwhelming numbers?

Are the Republicans planning to not certify the November presidential election because they know they'll win if the vote goes to the House of Representatives? And what scams are Jared Kushner and Trump running to get tens of millions of campaign dollars into their own pockets and the pockets of their friends?

And Chuck Rocha checks in with Thom about his new book, Tio Bernie, on how the most successful Latino voter outreach campaign in history was accomplished, and why Bernie resonated so strongly with Hispanic voters.

1:41.8

Convention in the summer of 68 and you had the

assassination of Martin Luther King which led to numerous cities on fire in 1968

1:50.1

and Donald Trump is trying to bring that back.
