The Daily Herold: 8/6/26 - Fauci's Contempt Vote and a Lackluster Voter File Declassification

Jon Herold pre records a lighter Thursday show ahead of a Florida trip, walking through John Solomon's latest declassified documents on a 2020 Maricopa County voter data hack that the Biden Justice Department never prosecuted, though he admits the release feels underwhelming compared to what he was hoping for. He covers the Senate Homeland Security Committee voting to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress despite his Biden era pardon, a Washington Post report on Trump and Hegseth clashing over munitions shortages that the White House denies happened, and a striking story on Palantir's remarkably low effective tax rate. There's also a look at online debate swirling around General Flynn's paid speaking activities, jobless claims data, and a viral burrito pricing controversy tied to affordability complaints. Sponsor reads, birthday shoutouts, and Sunday meetup details for Jupiter, Florida round out a shorter but newsy show.
