Donald Trump made a fool of himself in Aurora, CO, just hours before Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur 5785. The host hits on the numerous lowlights. Trump is whipping up hate in Colorado, but he’s looking like a sweaty loser.

Trump promises death to anybody who gets in his way. He tries out capital punishment talk in Aurora, where the Colorado death penalty went to die when DA George Brauchler lost his DA Office’s effort in the Aurora theater massacre.

World-famous radio talk show host Tom Hartmann explains the attempted MAGA fascist takeover of America. The threat is spelled out in his fine new book, The Hidden History of the American Dream: The Demise of the Middle Class – And How to Rescue Our Future.

Hartmann begins his book with this quote by FDR: “The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

Hartmann is an expert on economics, history, politics, ADHD, and religion. Thom Hartmann’s America's number one listened-to progressive talk show host, with 7 million weekly listeners. He’s also an accomplished entrepreneur, clergyman, and world traveler.

We discussed his radio career, including his time on AM760 in Denver. Hartmann explains what happened to Air America and how corporate media (including Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital) destroyed AM radio’s being objective and entertaining. ClearChannel was never the same after that and became more and more right-wing.

Hartmann recalls his interactions with Michael Medved and Salem Media. The AM radio takeover by billionaires paved the way for blue states to become GOP-red, being propagandized by Rush Limbaugh and other hate talkers demonizing the “Left.”

October 7 massacre was memorialized and discussed with Troubadour Dave Gunders, who brought us his song, "Good To Believe," right on time for the deeply meaningful Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Hashem’s healing power gets reviewed.
