The Daily Herold: 8/7/26 - Trump's Candid Punchbowl Interview and a DOGE Savings Reality Check

Jon Herold recovers from a canceled Florida trip (thanks to an airport radar outage) to dig into Trump's wide ranging Punchbowl News interview, breaking down his lukewarm comments on Senate Leader Thune, his surprisingly uncertain tone on the midterms, and some fascinating remarks on crypto, AI, and a possible 2028 run. He also plays a clip of John Solomon making the case that the intelligence community's election interference dwarfs anything foreign adversaries did, walks through two new executive orders cracking down on birth tourism and birthright citizenship, and covers a federal court blocking White House ballroom construction. There's also a pointed breakdown of a new GAO report finding DOGE's claimed savings didn't hold up to scrutiny, plus a disappointing July jobs report. Sponsor reads, meetup logistics, and plenty of live chat banter round out a newsy Friday show.
