Benjamin Dixon, The Benjamin Dixon Show joins Thom. Milo Yiannopoulos is complaining that his ban from Twitter somehow violates his free speech. But does "free speech" really cover sexist and racist harassment?

John Nichols, The Nation Magazine/People Get Ready: The Fight Against a Jobless Economy and a Citizenless Democracy joins Thom. Throughout this campaign there’s been a sense that this is one big reality show - with Donald Trump as the star. And thanks to the lapdog corporate media - events that would normally doom another candidate have instead boosted Trump’s celebrity - which - let’s be honest - is about 50 percent of his appeal. So will the ongoing divisions within the Republican Party actually hurt Trump going forward? Or will his status as the nominee and the nation’s first reality TV show candidate keep the Trump Train rolling all the way to the White House

Sam Sacks, The District Sentinel, joins Thom. When it emerged from the drafting table last week - the 2016 Republican platform was among the most extreme Republican platforms in history. Among other things - it called on public schools to teach the Bible - demanded that lawmakers use religion when making decisions about bills in Congress - and even condemned pornography as a public menace. One week later - the Republican platform is still very much the Sarah Palin on steroids document it was when it first came together. But it also now includes something surprising, something straight out of the Bernie Sanders playbook: a call to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933.

On tonight's Big Picture with Thom Hartmann, District Sentinel Co-Founder Sam Sacks talks the republicans surprising and somewhat unbelievable attempt to break up the big banks. John Nichols of The Nation talks about the Republican circus at the RNC convention. New York Times bestselling author Frank Schaeffer talks Trump VP nominee Mike Pence's infatuation with the evangelical. Author Mark Weisbrot talks about Trump and Pence's conflicting stance on trade and the latest on the Brazilian economy and Pres. Rousseff. Radio host Benjamin "Ben" Dixon talks Leslie Jones and her Twitter bullying saga, before Thom wraps with Your Take My Take Live.

Curtis Ellis, American Jobs Alliance, joins Thom. Donald Trump is promising to bring jobs back to America by renegotiating all of our trade deals. So why did he choose a vice presidential candidate who supported NAFTA - CAFTA - and the TPP?

Crystal Wright, Con Job: How the Democrats Gave Us Crime, Sanctuary Cities, Abortion Profiteering and Racial Division/Conservative Black Chick & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Charles Sauer, The Market Institute all join Thom. The official GOP platform encourages the public display of the Ten Commandments. But why is the GOP pretending that our Constitution establishes a theocracy?

Crystal Wright, Con Job: How the Democrats Gave Us Crime, Sanctuary Cities, Abortion Profiteering and Racial Division/Conservative Black Chick & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Charles Sauer, The Market Institute all join Thom. The truth is that every speaker spent more time bashing Hillary Clinton than they did praising Trump. But what's really confusing - is the fact that the actual scheduled theme of the night had absolutely nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. The actual theme of the night was "Make America Work Again." So why didn't any of the speakers talk about any plans to actually put America back to work? Is it because neither Trump nor the GOP has any real plan to create jobs - and they're just using nationalism - immigration - and anti-Clinton rhetoric to rally their base of white racists and sexists? So why didn't any of the speakers talk about any plans to actually put America back to work?

Donald Trump is playing Republican voters for fools. Picking Mike Pence as his running mate is proof of that. I'll tell you why...

David Cobb, Move To Amend, joins Thom. The fight against money in politics is the biggest fight of our lifetimes. It involves activism at the local level - the county level - the state level - and the federal level. After all - it's only a movement to re-imagine and recreate the entire political system as we know it. And that's why the movement to take money out of politics involves more than just politics as usual. It also involves things like art - and tomorrow one of America's leading campaign finance reformers will participate in a special showcase of activist art in New York City. The event is titled the Global Corporocracy Art Show - and it will be held tomorrow between 6 and 9 PM at the Devaju Art Gallery on 223 East 60th Street in New York.

Alicé Anil, Documentary Filmmaker, joins Thom. One of the most underreported stories of the 2016 Republican convention is how it's become a mecca of sorts for the global far-right. Along with the usual American far-right crowd- this year's GOP gathering has also seen visits from hardcore rightists the world over. The attendance list includes Geert Wilders - the anti-Islamic and anti-Immigrant leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom - Nigel Farage of the UK Independence Party - and various other far-right populists. So - is this just a passing fad or is the fact that Nigel Farage is at the RNC a sign that Donald Trump is making us more like Europe, in all the bad ways?

Tonight’s Rumble discusses whether any substance or policy talk will come out of the Republican Convention, Chris Christie’s “indictment” of Hillary Clinton, and how the GOP platform wants to make Christianity the official religion of the United States. Thom talks the latest way Move to Amend is trying to get money out of politics with Move to Amend’s David Cobb and in tonight’s Daily Take Thom details how a Donald Trump win means a Mike Pence White House.

Bryan Pruitt, RedState & Anya Parampil, RT America & Neil McCabe, Breitbart all join Thom. The Dump Trump Movement Explained.

Bryan Pruitt, RedState & Anya Parampil, RT America & Neil McCabe, Breitbart all join Thom. The 2016 Republican platform is one of the most extreme platforms in the history of the party - but it does get one thing right. According to the Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort - the Republican Platform - like the Democratic Platform - will include a proposal to reinstate the Glass Steagall Act of 1933 that created a firewall between Wall Street investment banks and Main Street commercial banks. Is this a shameless attempt to try to attract Bernie Sanders supporters or have Republicans finally woken up to the reality that we need to break up the big banks?

Bryan Pruitt, RedState & Anya Parampil, RT America & Neil McCabe, Breitbart all join Thom. The first night of the 2016 Republican Convention was one big orgy of hate - fear - and loathing. So why is the media only talking about Melania Trump's plagiarized speech?

While state and local governments are trying to use police forces to make up for budget shortfalls - policymakers could learn a lot from one of the 20th centuries most notorious bank robbers.
