Podcasts about Herold

Jon Herold kicks off a packed episode reacting in real time to President Trump's historic White House meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, including Saudi Arabia's announcement that its U.S. investments will surge from $600 billion to $1 trillion. Jon breaks down the geopolitical significance, Trump's banter with MBS, and why Ghost is probably passed out from excitement. From there he dives into the Cloudflare outage that briefly broke half the internet, the Bitcoin dip, and Trump's comments on firing Jerome Powell, paired with Jon's sharp concerns about who is actually holding Trump back. The Epstein files take center stage as Trump unloads on ABC, naming names like Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, Andrew Weissmann, and calling the whole thing a “Democrat hoax” designed to bury his $21 trillion economic announcement. Jon tracks Speaker Johnson's excuses, House floor drama, and why the media keeps redirecting public attention away from real issues like housing, private equity, and the collapse of the American dream. With humor, blackmail jokes, existential dread, and a chiropractic outro, Jon guides listeners through a day of narrative warfare, congressional chaos, and economic reality checks.

Jon Herold kicks off a Monday-ish Monday with a mix of exhaustion, sharp analysis, and classic Herold humor as he unpacks a chaotic week of political drama, narrative battles, and strange internet behavior. From the MTG–Trump feud to the endless Epstein “file” frenzy, Jon breaks down why so many online fights feel manufactured and how bad-faith actors, bots included, are warping the truth-seeking ecosystem. He dives into Trump's reversed stance on releasing Epstein records, new DOJ maneuvers, the curious case of SDNY's sudden involvement, and the larger distraction campaign drowning out Trump's real accomplishments. Jon also takes aim at Media Matters hit pieces, Real Clear Politics shoutouts, Biden's sluggish executive action pace, DOJ inconsistencies, and the bizarre rise of Pentagon psyop podcasts. Mixing doomer self-deprecation with grounded realism, Jon makes a compelling case that social media outrage is synthetic, justice comes slowly, and America is still fighting through information fog as Trump continues to “flood the zone.”

Jon Herold dives straight into the chaos of the day, breaking down the intensifying Epstein narrative, Trump's pointed Truth Social posts, and the coordinated political theater surrounding the shutdown. Jon exposes how Democrats and Uniparty Republicans are weaponizing the Epstein “hoax” for distraction, while Trump signals a new DOJ/FBI investigation into Epstein's real associates. He unpacks the mythmaking around the Epstein files, the traps being set, and why blind belief helps no one. From mortgage reforms and portable loans to SNAP reapplications and DOJ corruption, Jon tackles the mechanics of how government games the system, and why Americans must stay unplacatable. He highlights new Grassley documents revealing FBI/DOJ cover-ups for Clinton and the DNC, skewering Congress for slipping self-enrichment into the shutdown bill. With humor, honesty, and friction, Jon confronts black-pilling, normie narratives, and emotional reactions, urging listeners to stay focused, demand proof, and reject political comfort food.

In this fiery episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold opens up about the growing tension inside the MAGA movement, the pitfalls of blind trust, and why honest criticism is essential, not betrayal. From Trump's missteps to the Senate's shocking self-enrichment scheme, Jon challenges the audience to stop waiting for someone else to fix the country and start taking real local action. He breaks down the myth of the “normie echo chamber,” frustrations with government inertia, and the danger of excusing bad behavior from elected officials. The conversation hits everything from the Antifa terrorist designation to the shutdown's empty promises, the election system, homeschooling, bad narratives, and how community organizing may be the key to real change. Blunt, humorous, and raw, Jon delivers a call to action: stop worshiping politicians, embrace friction, get involved, and help shape America's future from the ground up.

Dez anos após os atentados terroristas que abalaram a França em 2015, Paris transforma o luto coletivo em memória viva. Duas grandes instituições francesas, o Museu Carnavalet e os Arquivos de Paris, apresentam exposições que reúnem objetos, cartas, desenhos e obras deixados pela população nos locais dos ataque. Os testemunhos, carregados de emoção, formam, ao lado de obras, um retrato poderoso da dor e da solidariedade que traduzem valores republicanos que catalisam a sociedade francesa. As iniciativas se inscrevem em uma longa tradição francesa de valorização da memória coletiva, especialmente em relação a eventos traumáticos da história nacional. A partir dos anos 1990, o país passou a adotar de forma mais sistemática o que ficou conhecido como “dever de memória” — uma noção que ultrapassa o simples registro histórico e se transforma em compromisso cívico com o reconhecimento e a transmissão dos acontecimentos do passado. O conceito foi amplamente difundido por intelectuais como Pierre Nora, autor da obra monumental Les Lieux de Mémoire (Os Lugares da Memória), que propôs a ideia de que certos espaços, objetos e rituais funcionam como âncoras simbólicas da identidade coletiva. Foi também nesse contexto que o então presidente Jacques Chirac, em 1995, tornou-se o primeiro chefe de Estado francês a reconhecer oficialmente a responsabilidade da França na deportação de judeus durante a ocupação nazista. Esse gesto marcou uma virada na política memorial do país, que passou a investir em museus, arquivos e cerimônias públicas como formas de reparação simbólica e de construção de uma memória compartilhada. Desde então, o “dever de memória” tornou-se um princípio estruturante das políticas culturais e educacionais francesas, especialmente diante de tragédias contemporâneas como os atentados terroristas de 2015. Béatrice Herold, diretora dos Arquivos de Paris, lembra que o impulso inicial para a coleta desses testemunhos partiu do sociólogo Jérôme Truc. “Ele escreveu para a prefeita de Paris dizendo que era preciso fazer algo diante desses testemunhos deixados pela população”, conta. A partir daí, o então diretor dos Arquivos, Guillaume Naon, mobilizou equipes para recolher os objetos nos locais dos atentados, em parceria com os agentes da direção de limpeza urbana. “Eles recolhiam os documentos à medida que os meses e as semanas passavam. Ao mesmo tempo, os agentes de limpeza removiam as flores murchas e as velas apagadas e reconstituíam os memoriais para que eles permanecessem o tempo necessário para esse luto coletivo”, explica Herold. Leia tambémFrança dá início às homenagens pelos 10 anos dos atentados terroristas de 13 de novembro em Paris Homenagem espontânea da população A homenagem espontânea da população durou vários meses. A coleta principal ocorreu entre novembro de 2015 e janeiro de 2016, mas uma última campanha foi realizada um ano depois. Ao todo, foram 17 ações de coleta. “Hoje, todos esses objetos estão nos arquivos. Uma parte está nos Arquivos de Paris — tudo o que é testemunho escrito, desenhos, cartas, pequenos bilhetes. E outra parte está no Museu Carnavalet, que se encarregou dos objetos de maior dimensão”, detalha a diretora. Entre os testemunhos escritos, destaca-se a reafirmação do apego a Paris, à França e aos valores da República. “É muito, muito recorrente. A população precisa expressar, em um ato de comunhão social, o apego a esses valores”, observa Herold. Ela também chama atenção para a quantidade de desenhos feitos por crianças, muitos deles produzidos em escolas da França e do exterior. “É impressionante ver que professores em Paris, mas também nos Estados Unidos, na Bélgica ou no mundo, fizeram seus alunos do ensino fundamental trabalharem através do desenho logo depois, para que expressassem algo sobre a liberdade, a liberdade de expressão, a paz”, diz. "Elas trabalharam com seus professores o ano todo para trabalhar a memória dos ataques. Dado que essas crianças têm cerca de 10 a 11 anos, na verdade elas não eram nascidas ou eram bebês na época dos eventos trágicos. Elas convidam a transmitir essa memória dos ataques em relação ao futuro", diz, sobre os desenhos de crianças parisienses. No Museu Carnavalet – História de Paris, a diretora Valérie Guillaume apresenta uma seleção de 60 objetos expostos no percurso permanente da instituição. “Coletamos, graças aos Arquivos de Paris, 192 objetos. Na coleção, também contamos com numerosas fotografias de Laurence G e de Nicolas Argirolo, cerca de 50 ou 60 fotografias”, explica. Ao todo, a coleção relacionada aos atentados de 2015 reúne entre 250 e 270 itens. Entre os objetos mais marcantes estão guitarras, sapatos, livros — como o tratado de Voltaire sobre a tolerância — e, sobretudo, o símbolo da Torre Eiffel estilizada dentro de um círculo, evocando o espírito peace and love dos anos 1960 e 70. “Esse tema é muito recorrente em todos os documentos e nos objetos. Ele foi desenhado e reproduzido por muitas pessoas”, afirma Guillaume. Arte urbana A exposição também inclui obras de artistas urbanos como Marc Aurel, Grim Team e o coletivo C215. Um dos destaques é a instalação de Marc Aurel Vion, erguida na Place de la République logo após os atentados. Trata-se de uma cerca de 12 metros adornada com o lema de Paris, reatualizado por Haussmann no Segundo Império: Fluctuat nec mergitur — “O barco é sacudido pelas ondas, mas não afunda”. “Essa força do evento, que convida a população a se reunir e a defender justamente os valores fundamentais comuns, é expressa aqui através dessas letras, a força dessas letras, colocadas em branco sobre fundo preto”, descreve a diretora. "Há também esse afresco realizado pelo grafiteiro C215 em homenagem a Ahmed Merabé, que foi morto, assassinado, durante os ataques de janeiro de 2015 do Charlie Hebdo, no Boulevard Richard-Lenoir", lembra. "Ahmed Merabé era um policial. Ele foi assassinado no momento do ataque contra o Charlie Hebdo. É uma obra interessante. Reconhecemos a assinatura de C215 em um cubo à direita. A obra representa um retrato sorridente desse policial assassinado, em toda a sua humanidade, com suas cores fortes [azul, branco, vermelho, as cores da bandeira francesa] que estão muito presentes", diz. As duas exposições, abertas ao público até dezembro, não apenas preservam a memória das vítimas, mas também reafirmam o papel da cultura como espaço de resistência e reconstrução coletiva, valores ancorados profundamente na tradição contemporânea francesa.

Fresh off the road from Cocoa Beach, Jon Herold returns to The Daily Herold with stories from GART 10, a 29-hour road trip, and a fiery rundown of the week's chaos. He unpacks the latest government shutdown bill, exposing how the Senate quietly inserted a clause to shield itself from subpoenas and even backdate lawsuits for profit. From SNAP benefits to anti-communism week, Jon covers it all with sharp humor and righteous frustration. The episode then shifts to Trump's controversial H1B visa comments, sparking a spirited breakdown of America First principles, global labor, and media manipulation. Featuring clips from Kristi Noem and Steve Bannon, Jon dissects how Trump's rhetoric tests loyalty and ignites critical debate. The show closes with updates on the new Epstein emails, the Clinton Foundation's corruption trail, and fresh cracks in Israel's official October 7 narrative. Funny, insightful, and unapologetically real, Jon reminds listeners why tuning out the noise can bring the clearest truth.

Jon Herold records a special preflight edition of The Daily Herold before heading to Cocoa Beach for GART 10, taking aim at the latest election “results” and the narratives being spun around them. From a Democratic sweep in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia to Vivek Ramaswamy's tone-deaf postmortem on GOP strategy, Jon argues that none of it matters in a rigged system. He breaks down how the regime fabricates consensus, manipulates optics, and uses false rebukes of Trump to shape public perception before 2026. The conversation turns to Trump's Truth Social posts calling for the end of the filibuster and warning that the Supreme Court's tariff ruling is “life or death” for the nation. Jon challenges those ideas head-on, questioning why Trump would rely on an illegitimate Senate or SCOTUS when he already holds the constitutional power to act. From info-war fatigue to Trump's “psyop loops,” Jon delivers a raw and honest reflection on faith, frustration, and the fight for reality in a country still asleep at the wheel.

Jon Herold kicks off Election Day on The Daily Herold with off-cycle madness, bomb threats, and ballot fraud in New York, where Trump's shocking endorsement of Andrew Cuomo has everyone asking, “What timeline are we in?” Jon unpacks Trump's latest Truth Social posts calling for the end of the filibuster, questioning whether elected officials can really fix a system built to fail. He dissects the growing chaos around the government shutdown, SNAP benefits, and the mysterious lull in executive orders, wondering if “something else” is happening behind the scenes. Then the show takes a hard pivot into breaking news on the Comey case, newly released handwritten notes, burn bag discoveries, and explosive evidence linking Comey, Brennan, and Clinton's 2016 conspiracy. With fiery rants about faith, plans, and personal accountability, Jon delivers his trademark mix of humor, skepticism, and conviction. Between new sponsors, chat banter, and soft disclosure shoutouts, it's a perfect snapshot of Herold in motion, equal parts chaos, clarity, and comedy.

Jon Herold kicks off the week with a jam-packed Daily Herold filled with laughs, leaks, and world-shaking headlines. As the government shutdown breaks records, Jon covers Trump's latest 60 Minutes interview, where the President drops bombshells about stolen elections, Abraham Accords, and underground nuclear testing by China and Russia. From SNAP fraud crackdowns and DOJ battles in Georgia to new Pentagon media restrictions and Syria's surprise visit to the White House, this episode runs the full geopolitical gauntlet with Jon's signature mix of wit and analysis. But it's not all world affairs, amid talk of trade wars and crypto pardons, the chat helps co-found “Bad Floors,” the newest Badlands business venture (and inside joke gone viral). With humor, honesty, and a side of Soft Disclosure, Jon proves once again why The Daily Herold is must-listen Badlands media.

Jon Herold closes out October with a sharp and entertaining Halloween edition of The Daily Herold. Between jokes about scary clown masks and government shutdowns, Jon breaks down Trump's fiery Truth Social post calling for the “nuclear option” to end the filibuster, and what that means for the ongoing shutdown showdown. He explores Trump's Asia tour victories, new trade deals, and a record-breaking government standoff while weaving in chat banter and audience insights. The episode shifts into deep analysis of the Arctic Frost investigation, where newly unearthed FBI documents reveal a 2020 “October Surprise” attempt to link Trump's campaign to gambling transactions, timed suspiciously alongside the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up. Jon connects the dots between election interference, the deep state's survival tactics, and the long game of Trump's agenda, all with his signature wit, candor, and community energy.

Jon Herold unpacks a historic week in global politics, starting with Trump's high-stakes G2 Summit with Xi Jinping in South Korea. From nuclear submarine deals and shipbuilding contracts to China's agreement to buy U.S. oil, gas, and soybeans, Jon connects the dots between trade, tariffs, and Trump's bold announcement to resume nuclear testing for the first time in 30 years. He highlights the geopolitical chess game behind Trump's “12 out of 10” meeting and the new U.S.–China energy partnership that could reshape global power. Back home, Jon digs into Chuck Grassley's bombshell revelations about “Operation Arctic Frost,” where the FBI subpoenaed over 400 Republicans and conservative organizations, exposing the DOJ's weaponized political targeting. Between live chat chaos, jokes about Fort Knox, and a few nuclear memes, Jon ties it all together with signature Badlands wit and insight, proving that in a world this explosive, sometimes you just have to laugh.

Jon Herold returns to The Daily Herold with his trademark mix of wit, chaos, and sharp analysis. He kicks things off promoting Shipwreck's big interview with Marjorie Taylor Greene before diving into Trump's Asia tour, the new $350 billion South Korea trade deal, and the Pentagon's kinetic strikes on narco-vessels. From there, Jon unpacks the expanding FBI “Arctic Frost” investigation targeting over 160 Trump allies, connects it to the ongoing RICO probes, and digs into Chuck Grassley's inquiry into globalist foundations funding the CCP. Between discussions of Tylenol lawsuits, Netanyahu's bombing campaign, and Obama's call for “new journalism,” Jon keeps the chat lively with hilarious tangents about COVID cruises, escaped Mississippi monkeys, and late-night chip rustling. Wrapping up with updates on Trump's accolades in South Korea and Shipwreck's primetime lineup, this episode proves that even in a “slow news day,” The Daily Herold is never boring...just dangerously funny.

Jon Herold kicks off The Daily Herold with his trademark humor and insight, recounting an 18-inning baseball marathon before diving into the day's political chaos. He covers the ongoing government shutdown, the SNAP funding fight, and Trump's Asia tour—including his high-energy arrival at a U.S. Navy base and new critical minerals deal with Japan. Jon breaks down the House Oversight Committee's explosive report on Biden's “autopen presidency,” exposing how aides allegedly used a signature machine to execute executive actions, some involving pardons, without Biden's approval. From there, he analyzes Trump's legal appeal in New York, Putin's new strategic alliance with Venezuela, and the controversy around FBI Director Kash Patel's use of a government jet. As always, Jon mixes sharp commentary, live chat banter, and comedy gold while keeping the Badlands community up to speed on the stories that matter most.

Jon Herold opens this Monday edition of The Daily Herold with reflections on truth, ego, and the phrase “you can't tell people the truth, you have to show them,” questioning whether it still applies in today's divided information war. From there, Jon digs into Trump's whirlwind Asia trip, his “Regulatory Relief” order, and the viral clip of him teasing a third term, echoing Bannon's remarks about public mandate and constitutional momentum. The episode rolls into a breakdown of the new federal grand jury impaneled in Florida, what Mike Davis, John Solomon, and others are saying about it, and whether it marks the next phase of the “RICO Grande” investigation. Between sharp analysis, chat banter, and pumpkin-carving humor, Jon keeps it real on topics from Argentina's Milei victory and TikTok trade deals to DeSantis's new Turning Point USA partnership. A mix of introspection, politics, and good-natured chaos, this episode proves that even in a slow news week, The Daily Herold never stops asking the right questions.

October 27, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 40A record-chasing market collides with the busiest macro week of the quarter, and we break it all down with a clear playbook for investors. We start with the incentives you don't see: October fiscal year-ends and bonus locking that can drive sharp, end-of-month positioning. Then we weigh a likely Fed cut, what Powell's guidance implies for the path of rates, and how a softer inflation print is tilting sentiment across stocks, gold, and credit.To make better choices now, we rewind 100 years. The data is striking: technology slashed time spent on chores from dozens of hours a week to a fraction, reassigning that time to work, leisure, and child development. The lesson for AI is practical, not hype—breakthrough tools shift our attention from maintenance to leverage. We extend that thinking to health with surprising research on stair climbing for seniors: small bursts, big payoffs. The same principle powers good investing habits—systematic, repeatable moves that compound.From there, we zoom in on what's moving tape. Earnings breadth improved beyond the megacaps, with blue chips posting solid results and consensus EPS tracking near 9% growth. Semis bounce on tariff thaw talk, gold softens on risk appetite, and oil reacts to sanctions headlines. We take a sober look at valuations around 22x forward and what it means for risk management into Big Tech results from Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, and Apple.Most investors still overlook the big story: international markets leading the scoreboard. Korea, Vietnam, Greece, and others have outpaced U.S. indices this year, often with correlations below one. We show how adding global exposure can both raise expected returns and smooth volatility. We also spotlight a few ideas: Progressive's data-driven edge and special dividends in auto insurance, Expand Energy's LNG-adjacent scale and merger synergies in natural gas, and Pimco's multi-sector bond ETF as a flexible tool for carry and credit dislocations.If you're recalibrating before year-end, this conversation helps you tune the mix: align risk to goals, diversify beyond the U.S., and convert time saved by technology into better portfolio decisions.

Jon Herold closes out the week with a fiery Friday edition of The Daily Herold, balancing humor, live digs, and deep political insight. After a few sponsor shoutouts to Badlands favorites, Jon dives into Steve Bannon's viral “Trump 2028” clip and breaks down how the 22nd Amendment, election fraud, and George Washington's precedent all tie into the debate over presidential term limits. He then explores Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray's signatures on the “Arctic Frost” investigation, exposing how the DOJ's actions prove political persecution against Trump. From Trump's upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping to Canada's Reagan ad controversy and the 62,000 CDL licenses issued to illegal immigrants in California, Jon connects it all to government corruption, hypocrisy, and broken systems. Despite calling it a “slow news day,” this episode proves that when it comes to political double standards, there's never a dull moment in the Badlands.

Jon Herold kicks off a slow news day with a sharp mix of wit and skepticism on The Daily Herold. From Gavin Newsom's shocking Medicaid fraud loophole that funneled billions in federal funds to California, to Russia's legalization of crypto for international trade, and Trump's eyebrow-raising pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Jon dissects the headlines with his trademark humor and candor. He dives into Japan's first female prime minister, Trump's new $3 billion farmer aid package amid the government shutdown, and the FBI's massive mafia-linked gambling probe that's shaking the NBA. Along the way, Jon reacts to Candace Owens' claims about Charlie Kirk, debates Thomas Massie's political motives, and even considers the Coast Guard's true place in government, with plenty of offbeat tangents and laughs.

Jon Herold fires up The Daily Herold on a “boring news day” that turns into anything but. Between sponsor shoutouts and chat banter, Jon riffs on the endless government shutdown, skewers a Democrat's “suffering as leverage” comment, and mocks Senator Jeff Merkley's 12-hour “Trump is a dictator” floor speech. With trademark sarcasm, he dissects media hypocrisy, Brennan's perjury referral, and Trump's $230 million claim against the DOJ, questioning whether taxpayers should foot the bill for government corruption. Along the way, Jon dives into a wild headline about a Bernie-backed candidate with an SS tattoo, laughs about his neighbor's dog marking his tree, and tells a hysterical story about a four-year-old armed with a blowtorch. He closes with updates on Pentagon leaks, tariffs, and the upcoming Devolution Power Hour 400th episode, all while somehow keeping it real and ridiculous at the same time.

Jon Herold keeps The Daily Herold rolling with a mix of sharp wit, news breakdowns, and classic Badlands banter. He opens with sponsor shoutouts and listener jokes before diving into Trump's latest headlines, an extravagant new White House ballroom, a rare earth deal with Australia, and a fiery True Social post threatening to “close up” Colombia's drug fields. Jon dissects Trump's fluctuating praise and criticism of the FBI, new developments in Gaza, and the “three-quarter measures” approach of the Justice Department's latest moves. From Comey's bid to dismiss his case to John Brennan's perjury referral, Jon challenges whether half measures will ever be enough to deliver full accountability. Along the way, he builds a hilarious “Political Foreplay” list of Trump-era promises still waiting for results and riffs on everything from pumpkin patch prices to Amazon's AI layoffs. Candid, chaotic, and packed with political sarcasm, this episode proves why The Daily Herold is where real talk and ridiculousness collide.

Jon Herold returns to The Daily Herold with Monday mayhem, dogs in the yard, alpaca jokes, and a packed rundown of weekend chaos. Between clips of Ashe at Willow Wind Farms and birthday shoutouts, Jon dives into Trump's fiery weekend posts, including a warning to Colombia's president over drug trafficking that sounds like a scene from Clear and Present Danger. He unpacks Trump's tense meeting with Zelensky, reports of a planned Budapest summit with Putin, and a new rare earth minerals deal with Australia aimed at countering China's dominance. The show also covers GOP senators pushing for Jack Smith's disbarment, Trump's $15 billion defamation suit against The New York Times, and fresh DOJ shakeups in the Comey case. Between news breaks, Jon builds a tongue-in-cheek “Political Foreplay” list of Trump's yet-to-be-completed promises, from Freedom Cities to “Arrest Fauci.” Equal parts serious analysis and sarcastic humor, this episode blends world news, grassroots banter, and Badlands energy into one hilarious, caffeinated ride through the headlines.

October 20, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 39Fear is loud, but context is louder. We open with the classic wall of worry and show why widespread crash talk can be oddly protective, then parse what actually matters now: a Fed tilting to cuts, resilient big-bank earnings, and a stealth risk that portfolios are measured in weakening dollars, not just rising prices. Along the way, we size up tech's towering influence—more than a quarter of the S&P 500 in four names—and the uncomfortable truth that many index investors are taking a bigger tech bet than they realize.From there, we get practical. If you're approaching retirement, sequence risk is the shark you can't see. We lay out a simple plan to sleep better: calculate your net annual withdrawal need and hold roughly ten years of it in short-term and intermediate high-quality bonds. That reserve lets you ride out drawdowns without selling stocks at the worst time. We also cover liquidity tactics for illiquid portfolios—think HELOCs as a safety valve—plus how to audit a household budget after 60 and why Social Security deferral can be the highest-return decision you make, with survivor benefits that can extend the upside for a spouse.We widen the lens with timely market currents: trade negotiations with China, a key CPI release, PMI updates, and a dense earnings week that can sway sentiment. Gold's powerful breakout takes center stage as central bank buying, softer real yields, and currency diversification fuel new highs, while we caution against treating any hedge as a hero. For balance, we spotlight a defensive equity idea: staples like Colgate, with global brands, entrenched distribution, and steady dividends, as a counterweight to an AI-driven market. The throughline is resilience—diversify beyond mega-cap tech, reintroduce international exposure and equal-weight strategies, fund a decade of withdrawals safely, and protect your ability to choose patience over panic.Enjoy the show, then take a moment to review your allocations, cash buffers, and income timing. If this helped, follow, share with a friend who's rethinking risk, and leave a quick review so more investors can find us.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

Jon Herold kicks off The Daily Herold with Friday chaos: sprinkler repairs, sponsor reads, and the lingering hilarity of Mitch McConnell's infamous “fall”, before diving into the day's biggest headlines. He breaks down John Bolton's 18-count espionage indictment, unpacking the charges, the hacked AOL account, and why Bolton's excuses aren't adding up. As social media lights up with claims tying Mike Pence to the case, Jon calmly dissects the rumors, explaining why he's staying neutral until real evidence surfaces. From Pence debates and chat banter to unexpected distractions, the show keeps its trademark mix of wit and authenticity. Jon also covers breaking developments on Antifa's terrorism indictments, Kash Patel's FBI revelations, and new global moves from Trump, including his Middle East and Ukraine peace strategies. It's a wild ride through politics, media spin, and real life, with Jon's humor and honesty guiding the way.

Jon Herold kicks off The Daily Herold with tech troubles, laughs, and a little finger-pointing before diving into a packed news day. Trump's latest executive orders tighten federal hiring and military pay policies while the Pentagon puts the media on notice over classified leaks, sparking Jon's fiery breakdown of what it means for mainstream journalism. He unpacks Trump's phone call with Putin, new moves toward peace in Ukraine, and possible trade talks on the horizon, hinting that major geopolitical shifts may already be underway. Between headlines, Jon delivers his signature mix of sharp analysis and humor, most notably a hilariously heated debate with the live chat about whether Mitch McConnell's infamous “fall” was real or staged. From Comey's leaks to Bolton's possible indictment and Trump's CIA admissions, this episode blends serious revelations with classic Badlands banter.

Jon Herold returns with another sharp and entertaining episode of The Daily Herold, tackling everything from government shutdowns to global economic warfare. He dives into Trump's new trade strategy with China, the ongoing rare-earth conflict, and how “de-risking” might be the quiet move reshaping world power. Between math lessons on government spending, reflections on the Doge program, and debates about Charlie Kirk's legacy, Jon balances hard news with humor and humanity. From Supreme Court arguments on voting rights to Pentagon press restrictions and China's economic provocations, this episode proves there's no such thing as a slow news day in 2025.

Jon Herold kicks off this Tuesday's Daily Herold with a mix of world news, humor, and chaos, covering everything from Trump's newly released “Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity” to bizarre political performances that redefine the word cringe. Between Mike Huckabee's “Sweet Home Yerushalayim,” Anthony Blinken's acoustic diplomacy, and Trump's hair complaints in Time Magazine, Jon finds levity in the absurdity of global politics. He breaks down the Middle East peace follow-ups, Trump's looming tariff threats with China, Alex Jones' Supreme Court loss, and the Supreme Court's latest electoral rulings. From government shutdown spin to JP Morgan's $1.5 trillion “resiliency” plan, Jon threads it all together with trademark wit and common sense, proving again that sometimes, reality is stranger than satire.

Jon Herold opens the week with humor, reflection, and a hefty dose of geopolitics as President Trump officially signs a historic Middle East peace deal in Egypt. From jokes about “Peace 2025” to serious analysis of Netanyahu's wartime politics, Herold walks listeners through the ceremony, Trump's strategy, and the potential fallout with Iran. He digs into Trump's surprising Truth Social activity, swinging from FBI praise to J6 outrage, and explains how 280 characters can move markets and minds alike. Between the CDC layoffs, education reform signals, and a moon race that “makes no damn sense,” Jon keeps it real, balanced, and blunt, reminding viewers why The Daily Herold is must-watch truth with a side of sarcasm.

October 13, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 38A sudden policy shock from Beijing and a hardline tariff posture from Washington can erase trillions in market value in a day—and that's exactly what just happened. We walk through the sequence: China widens export controls on rare earths and related technologies, the White House floats a 100% additional tariff that would lift rates to 140%, and both sides layer on shipping levies that threaten to raise costs on everything from refined fuels to consumer goods. Then the tone shifts, rhetoric cools, and futures bounce. The message for investors is clear: supply chains, semiconductors, and shipping are now front-line macro variables.We unpack why rare earth policy matters far beyond magnets and defense: even small content thresholds can trap complex products, complicating compliance across autos, EVs, and AI hardware. China's latest export data show a strategic reorientation—declines to the U.S. offset by gains to Africa, the EU, and Southeast Asia—reducing susceptibility to a single-market squeeze. Add a U.S. government shutdown, questions over federal pay, and earnings season on deck, and you have a fragile tape where headlines steer intraday momentum.Flight-to-safety behavior is back. Gold extends its rally as global wealth questions fiscal discipline and sovereign risk, while silver spikes on a thin-market squeeze and policy speculation. We dig into credit, where stress finally surfaced: alleged collateral issues, subprime auto weakness, and a rethink on private credit's liquidity push BDC yields into double digits and discounts to NAV wider. That sets the stage for selective opportunity—first-lien exposure with disciplined underwriting—while reminding us that leverage and fees can cut both ways.On the equity side, we highlight AI infrastructure as a resilient theme, with server demand supporting names tied to custom chips and data center buildouts. Valuations outside the megacap cohort remain compelling, but execution depends on mineral access, shipping costs, and export approvals. We close with practical takeaways: keep cash optionality, diversify supply risk, size gold positions thoughtfully, and be choosy in high yield and BDCs.

He digs into Trump's latest Truth Social posts, including one thanking FBI whistleblowers who exposed Christopher Wray's political bias, contrasting it with Trump's earlier take on embedded agents at the Capitol. From there, Jon covers the global economic battle as China tightens control over rare earth exports and Trump doubles down on building a domestic supply chain.

He questions whether the shutdown even matters when nearly no one feels its effects, while calling out Congress for refusing to pass single-item funding bills. Jon highlights Trump's new endorsements, his deployment of National Guard units, and a declassified 1963 Robert F. Kennedy letter outlining presidential authority to use the militia, connecting it all to the Insurrection Act debate. He digs into Kash Patel's FBI reforms, Biden's defeat in the offshore drilling case, and the Senate Republicans' “nuclear option” confirming 107 Trump nominees.

From Kash Patel ending FBI partnerships with the ADL to billions in climate and DEI funding being cut, Walmart dropping synthetic dyes, and even the Pope blessing ice at a climate conference, Herold blends sharp analysis with pointed humor.

Jon Herold opens this episode on day one of the government shutdown, calling it both political theater and an opportunity.

From JD Vance's fiery remarks to Speaker Johnson's pushback on Schumer's demands, Jon explains why both sides are playing the blame game while Trump quietly sets the agenda. He then unpacks Trump's unexpected security guarantee for Qatar, signed just before Netanyahu's visit, and what it signals for U.S.–Israel relations and Middle East stability.

Jon Herold kicks off Shutdown Eve with a look at Trump's latest moves, from tariffs on timber to reauthorizing federal committees, before diving into the Pentagon's mysterious Quantico gathering of generals. He plays clips from Trump's speech, where jokes about “the N-word of nuclear,” Canada as the 51st state, and central casting give way to serious declarations about inner cities as battlefronts and America facing “invasion from within.” Jon ties these remarks to Trump's domestic terrorism NSPM, Antifa, and the looming “grand RICO” case, framing them as breadcrumbs of a larger counter–color revolution strategy.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul tackle a packed episode of Devolution Power Hour, opening with Trump's surprise “med bed” healthcare announcement and the AI-generated video that set the internet buzzing. They question the line between satire, soft disclosure, and information warfare, comparing it to Hollywood's visions of instant healing tech. From there, the hosts dive into synthetic reality, showing how AI videos and fabricated documents erode trust in evidence itself, reinforcing the need for skepticism in an information war. They explore Trump's new NSPM on domestic terrorism, its connection to 18 U.S.C. §§ 241–242, and how it may tie into the broader “RICO Grande” case against the Deep State.

Jon Herold kicks off Friday's Daily Herold with the bombshell indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on obstruction and false statement charges, asking why Durham ignored the same evidence years earlier.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright dissect the week's chaos, from Trump's startling “paper tiger” jab at Russia to the broader game theory behind his UN speech and shifting Ukraine rhetoric.
