Jan Frel, Alternet & Zaid Jilani, The Intercept, joins Thom. The general consensus in the media is that Hillary is going to wipe the floor with Trump. But Brexit proved that elites really don’t understand the populism sweeping the western world. Could we see a repeat of that phenomenon here? Will an overconfident Democratic party hand the election to Trump?

Neil McCabe, Breitbart & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Bryan Pruitt, RedState, joins Thom. One of the more powerful moments of the entire convention was the speech from Khizr Khan - the father of a Muslim American soldier who was killed in Iraq in June of 2004. Isn't Khizr Khan right here? Does anyone actually believe that Trump has any idea of what it means to sacrifice for the greater good of America - on the battlefield or in any other way?

Jan Frel, Alternet & Zaid Jilani, The Intercept, joins Thom. Was this convention a culmination of the Bernie revolution, a rebuke of it, or something in between?

Tonight’s Rumble discusses Hillary’s convention speech, the moving words from a Muslim father whose son was killed in Iraq, and the striking down of North Carolina’s voter ID law. Tonight’s Progressive Roundtable discusses whether Hillary has done enough to win over Bernie supporters, whether she actually “hears” them, and whether the Democratic Party is the governing party.

Congressman Mark Pocan (D-WI, 2nd District) joins Thom. Mike Pence portrays himself as an average midwestern guy - Pence actually holds some very dangerous views - views that put him far outside the mainstream of American society.

Donald Trump's Twitter account is a big part of his appeal - but it's also the scariest thing about him.

Sam Daley-Harris, RESULTS/Center for Citizen Empowerment and Transformation/Reclaiming Our Democracy, joins thom. the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump isn't just about who sits in the White House - because the next president is likely going to get to decide the future of the Supreme Court - for the next generation!

Dr. Mark Weisbrot, Center for Economic and Policy Research (C.E.P.R.)/Just Foreign Policy/FAILED: What the "Experts" Got Wrong about the Global Economy, joins Thom. Hillary Clinton has a reputation as being much more hawkish than President Obama - and - for that matter - most Democrats. She’s an enthusiastic supporter of overseas intervention - been endorsed by neocons like Robert Kagan - and if elected president - the thinking goes - would push for a more aggressive foreign policy out of Washington. Ironically - this might not be the case if her Republican opponent Donald Trump is elected. He’s given lip-service to ideas that some would describe as dovish - and has said that America needs to rethink its penchant for "regime-change." So what are we to make of all this? Is Trump really the non-intervenionist he pretends to be or is just pandering to a voting base that is sick and tired of wars? And is Clinton's hawkishness a sign that the Democratic party is now the home party the neocons?

John Nichols, The Nation Magazine/People Get Ready: The Fight Against a Jobless Economy and a Citizenless Democracy joins Thom. Most of the speakers on the 3rd night of the Democratic National Convention focused on pumping Hillary Clinton up - or knocking Donald Trump down. But President Barack Obama and Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine saved some praise for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders - and his supporters.

Thom discusses whether the DNC will get rid of superdelegates with superdelegate Christine Pelosi, how Biden and Obama talked up Bernie Sanders in their speeches with The nation’s John Nichols, and the contrast between the two conventions with Representative Mark Pocan. In tonight’s Daily Take Thom reveals how Trump gets his talking points from white supremacist groups like Stormfront.

Thom discusses the most progressive DNC platform in history with Rep. Barbara Lee, whether Rep. Steve King can be beat by his opponent Kim Weaver with Kim Weaver, and how a President Trump would be devastating for combating climate change with Sierra Club’s Michael Brune. Tonight’s Rumble talks Trump’s call for Russia to hack Hillary Clinton, Trump’s call of raising the minimum wage to a measly $10, and Bill O’Reilly’s bizarre comments about slavery.

Thom discusses how a President Trump would be devastating for combating climate change with Sierra Club’s Michael Brune.

Charles Sauer, The Market Institute & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Crystal Wright, Con Job, all join Thom. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan won presidential elections by committing flagrant acts of treason. Is Donald Trump now trying to do the same?

Charles Sauer, The Market Institute & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Crystal Wright, Con Job, all join Thom. In a piece for his Fox So-Called News show the other night - America's resident racist uncle "corrected" First Lady Michelle Obama's Democratic Convention Speech. While acknowledging that the First Lady was right in saying that slaves built and worked in the White House - O'Reilly thought it important to point out that those slaves were "well-fed" and had "decent-lodgings."

Kim Weaver, Candidate for Congress (D-IA, 4th District) joins Thom. Congressman Steve King of Iowa is a persistent political puzzle. How is it that actual American voters will continue to send to congress a man who is proud to fly a confederate - the rebels who both started and lost the Civil War - flag on his desk, and continually makes racist statements. Kim Weaver is the Democrat challenging King's re-election in western Iowa, and not only offers a strong progressive agenda but also has some insights into why King's own constituents by-and-large don't know how far into David Duke-world he regularly goes.
