A Senate committee voted 8 to 5 on August 6th to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times at a hearing on the government's COVID response. The vote fell along party lines. Chairman Rand Paul is not sending it to the Senate floor. He is sending it somewhere else entirely, and Chuck explains what that means.
Also in today's episode: the Inspector General of the Department of Labor tells Breitbart News that the H-1B visa program is "not just fraud" but "a criminal enterprise that stretches far beyond the borders of America," and the number of foreign workers now holding those jobs is larger than most Americans have been told. The Justice Department issues a formal finding against one of the most elite law schools in the country. President Trump signs two new executive orders after the Supreme Court blocked his last attempt. The RNC chairman publishes a blistering assessment of the Democrats' 2026 midterm slate. A Staten Island artist collapses at a pro-police event and says from his hospital bed that he died for two minutes. And Mitch McConnell leaves rehab 53 days after his fall without one public appearance, while his own governor's office says he left the American people in the dark.
Six stories. Seven o'clock. The truth starts now.
