The Daily Herold: 7/16/26 - Trump's Big Election Speech Tonight and Suppressed China Intel

Jon Herold calls it "E Day" as Washington braces for Trump's primetime election disclosure speech, and he spends much of the show digging through old intelligence community reports and executive order 13848 to argue that China's 2020 election interference was known and suppressed years ago while Russia's role got amplified. He walks through Paul Sperry's reporting on alleged Chinese hacking of voter databases, weighs in on the Politico piece about nervous Republicans ahead of the speech, and shares clips from Rubio's remarks on political terrorism and NSPM 7. There's also a look at the SAVE Act's uncertain path through the Senate following Lindsey Graham's death, leadership shakeups in Ukraine, and a philosophical detour on why he believes the country cannot "move on" from 2020 until it is addressed. Sponsor reads and a lively chat session round out the show, with a preview of tonight's speech coverage.
