Summary

After Trump massively violated the Hatch Act by being the first American president in history to campaign from the White House, will there be an investigation? Will Covid take its toll as it did on Herman Cain? Do any of the Republicans on Fox News care enough about this country to wake up and realize there is a con-man and criminal in the White House?

Thom hears from Ben Jealous, the president of the People for the American Way on Trump's latest crimes, and on why the Democratic party may be failing to get out the Latino vote. Also Tom Perez, the chair of the Democratic National Committee shares his take on the lies told at the Republican Convention- and what the Democratic Party is doing to fight back.

Plus- did Trump inspire the right-wing 17 year old who murdered protesters in Wisconsin?

This is the Tom Hartman program.

One of the most visible, obvious, extraordinary, widespread mind-boggling crimes has been committed in the history of the

0:26.4

White House. For 240 years American presidents have respected not just the law, the Hatch Act, but the tradition that the institutions

0:40.4

of government are essentially sacred that they are for governance, not for

0:48.2

politics, not for campaigning.

We saw that just shattered.

Two members of Congress, Representatives Raja Krishnam Murthy and Don Beyer, Democrats

from Illinois in Virginia, are calling for an actual investigation

into hat check violations by the Trump administration.

1:09.5

But not just Two words that I did not hear last night from anybody and now I didn't listen to all the

1:24.7

commentary on all the networks. Maybe they were mentioned but two words that I

1:28.4

thought should have been mentioned like maybe every 10 minutes all night long

1:31.4

were Hermann Kane.

1:35.2

Hermann Kane went to Trump's Tulsa rally, no masks, lots of people, got COVID and died. And there were a lot of old folks there last night and I'm seeing

1:46.4

reports that nobody was tested or very few people were tested. Of course most of these people who get sick as a result of Trump's super

1:56.6

spreading event last night probably won't die until after the election. I mean

2:01.8

you know we still got roughly two months and it

2:04.0

takes a few weeks to get sick to get symptoms and then it takes a few weeks for the

2:07.8

symptoms to get bad and then it takes a few weeks for those bad symptoms to

2:11.2

put you in the hospital and then it takes a few weeks for the hospital

2:14.4

to have to stick a tube down your throat and make you breathe and that can last anywhere from
