Podcasts about Herold

In this May 29 edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down a flurry of bombshell developments shaking the political and legal establishment. From Cash Patel and Dan Bongino's latest revelations on the Epstein case, the D.C. pipe bomber, and the Dobbs leak, Jon walks listeners through the coded messaging and breadcrumbs hinting at imminent disclosures. He offers sharp analysis on which case might be nearing resolution—and how these threads may all lead back to the same corrupt power centers. Herold also spotlights the declassified FBI document exposing Nellie Ohr's lies to Congress, linking her directly to the Crossfire Hurricane scandal and raising new questions about DOJ integrity. Meanwhile, Elon Musk exits his government watchdog role with only a fraction of the $2 trillion in projected cuts realized, prompting Herold to call out Congressional inaction and performative praise. Additional highlights include Trump's lawsuits against CBS and the Pulitzer board, a Supreme Court ruling limiting environmental review powers, a judicial nomination shakeup, and an aggressive new move to revoke visas tied to Harvard and Chinese influence. Whether it's narrative warfare or buried FBI secrets, Jon's no-frills commentary drills straight into the heart of the collapsing regime storyline.

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold takes aim at the headlines dominating the midweek news cycle, starting with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' move to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. Jon questions the motives behind the legislation, suggesting it may be a calculated appeal to wealthy retirees or a play against the rising tide of Bitcoin. Speaking of Bitcoin, Herold breaks down Trump's latest crypto-friendly moves, including the push to integrate digital assets into 401(k) plans and the financial disruption on display at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Vegas, where GMoney made waves on the Rumble livestream. The auto-pen saga continues as Jon reviews Trump's scathing comments and David Sacks' claim that Elizabeth Warren was behind crypto-related executive orders. He remains skeptical but acknowledges the growing investigation. Updates on Judge Jeanine Pirro's appointment, NPR's First Amendment lawsuit, and race-based USDA loan forgiveness expose deeper structural rot. Herold also hammers Congress for stalling on codifying DOGE spending cuts, questions the true value of current FBI investigations, and highlights Trump's mock offer to make Canada the 51st state. With wit, frustration, and fire, Jon reminds listeners that until election integrity is restored, everything else is political theater.

In this jam-packed Tuesday edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives into a whirlwind of hot-button stories, headlined by bombshell revelations about President Biden's cognitive decline and the unelected inner circle, dubbed the “Politburo”, allegedly running the White House. Herold breaks down the implications for constitutional authority, elder abuse allegations, and the legitimacy of Biden-era policies signed with an auto-pen. Trump's latest moves also dominate the show, from his pardon of Sheriff Scott Jenkins to threats of defunding California over trans athletes, nuking Harvard's federal contracts, and tightening student visa protocols via social media vetting. Jon adds his own firebrand critique of foreign student priorities and bloated education spending. Other stories include Trump Media's $2.5B Bitcoin treasury plan, the FBI reopening high-profile cases (like the Supreme Court leak and the J6 pipe bomber), and RFK Jr. axing COVID vaccine guidance for healthy children and pregnant women. Herold also warns of AI's existential risk, revisits the Amazonian tribe suing over porn allegations, and roasts a viral Starbucks meltdown. As always, it's equal parts humor, outrage, and sharp analysis, wrapped in Herold's signature no-nonsense delivery.

In this Memorial Day episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold pays tribute to America's fallen heroes while unpacking a whirlwind of geopolitical power shifts, economic reforms, and cultural chaos. Trump's Memorial Day message blends reverence with savage takedowns of open borders, activist judges, and the DC swamp, setting the tone for a show brimming with hard truths and sharp commentary. Jon breaks down Trump's invocation of the Defense Production Act to fast-track nuclear energy, a strategic move with global implications, particularly for data centers and AI infrastructure. He dives into the future of small modular reactors and the race for energy dominance, tying in the crypto boom and Trump Media's plan to raise $3B to invest in Bitcoin. The episode also explores the war in Ukraine, Trump's jabs at Putin and Zelensky, and the drone warfare redefining modern conflict. Updates on Harvard's foreign student standoff, the Big Beautiful Bill's Senate fight, Grok AI's federal use, and a federal court's dismissal of Carter Page's lawsuit round out the show. With memes, Macron slaps, and a fiery liberal meltdown thrown in, this episode delivers a signature mix of insight, irreverence, and political real talk, Jon style.

In this mind-bending episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul take listeners on a two-hour journey through quantum tech, media psyops, and the unraveling of physical reality itself. At the heart of the discussion is General Steven Kwast's bombshell interview on the Sean Ryan Show, where he outlines how quantum communication could rewrite history, and why it proves the existence of God. The hosts analyze what this means for military strategy, continuity of government, and even the foundational assumptions behind our reality. Trump's aggressive push for nuclear energy via the Defense Production Act is also dissected, alongside questions of executive power, devolution strategy, and wartime governance. The episode covers AI deepfakes, prompt theory, simulation parallels in media, and the potential misuse of quantum tech for surveillance or even historical erasure. Herold and Paul layer in philosophical and theological reflections, weaving in Trump's American Academy proposal, Harvard's colonial charter, Flynn's continuity of government warning, and Epstein file inconsistencies, all under a meta lens of truth, technology, and trust. This is not just political commentary, it's a philosophical expedition into power, perception, and the future

In this lively Friday edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold juggles kid duty, crypto quips, and deep state drama while tackling the day's top stories. Trump's proposed 50% tariff on the EU and 25% on Apple imports dominate the headlines, with Herold dissecting the geopolitical and economic implications, especially after a curious White House meeting between Trump and Tim Cook. The show also explores Trump's crackdown on Harvard's international student program and the swift judicial response that followed. Jon revisits Trump's forgotten “American Academy” proposal and questions the media silence surrounding this potentially revolutionary education reform. He breaks down the FTC's investigation into Media Matters, the censorship tactics used against conservative platforms, and ActBlue's donor scandal. Updates on the Russia-Ukraine prisoner swap and nuclear policy add depth, while a viral meltdown, AI-generated animal cartoons, and WNBA drama provide comic relief. Topped with biting commentary on Disney's politics, Smartmatic's legal troubles, and Sean Ryan's questionable interview chops, this episode is a whirlwind of current events, irreverent humor, and razor-sharp insight, all delivered in classic Herold style.  

In this packed edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold welcomes OAN Pentagon correspondent Gabrielle Cuccia to dissect the Pentagon's new memo on the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, a memo that, after three months of investigation, concludes... another review is needed. Cuccia pulls back the curtain on the real reason for the stall: protecting compromised DOD personnel who followed orders during the botched exit. They also revisit the AutoPen scandal, with Cuccia confirming that all uses of the president's signature are traceable through internal records, blowing a hole in any claims of bureaucratic ambiguity. Herold continues with a breakdown of Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill,” the suspected false flag shooting at a DC Jewish museum, and the geopolitical ripple effects of Israel pulling its hostage deal team from Doha. Other headlines include: a Supreme Court tie on religious charter schools, Biden's judicial roadblocks on dismantling the Department of Education, and explosive reports confirming the government withheld myocarditis risks from COVID vaccines. The episode closes with Jon exploring terrifyingly realistic AI video tools and riffing on their future role in both media and military deception. Packed with receipts, insight, and some dark humor, this is Jon Herold at full throttle.

In a milestone episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold welcomes special guest VA Secretary Doug Collins, marking the show's first sit-down with a Trump cabinet official. Collins offers a candid look at the challenges of reforming the Department of Veterans Affairs, including widespread bureaucratic waste, contractor overreach, and union-protected inefficiencies. He addresses the media's misleading claims about budget “cuts,” emphasizing that Trump's proposed VA budget actually increases funding while slashing misused resources to prioritize real patient care. The conversation dives deep into broader constitutional dysfunction, as Collins critiques Congress's failure to legislate, the judiciary's national injunction abuse, and the difficulty of governing when the executive branch is isolated by coordinated opposition from other institutions and the media. Collins also confirms the VA is actively exploring alternative treatments like cannabis and psychedelics for PTSD and brain injury, offering cautious optimism for innovation in veteran care. Herold rounds out the show with segments on Trump's “Golden Dome” missile defense initiative, Senator Rubio's surprising reformist stance, the Biden administration's mounting narrative collapse, and the DOJ's investigation into Cuomo. It's an unfiltered, insight-packed episode for anyone interested in real reform, from the VA to the Constitution itself.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down the political storm surrounding Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill”, a sprawling 1,116-page legislative behemoth loaded with tax cuts, border security funding, military investment, and controversial policy shifts. Jon calls out the hypocrisy of passing massive omnibus bills after years of GOP outcry against bloated legislation, and warns of hidden land sales, student loan overhauls, and potential CO2 pipeline power grabs. He also dives into the crumbling narrative around Biden's stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, questioning the timing and transparency of the White House amid rising speculation of elder abuse and political cover-up. From Trump's renewed attacks on Kamala Harris's celebrity endorsements to rising tension with Netanyahu over Gaza, the episode unpacks domestic and foreign drama with characteristic wit and skepticism. Other stories include Elon Musk's scaled-back political spending, potential full-scale civil war in Syria, DOJ investigations into Chicago's hiring practices, and a damning bribery conviction of a top Navy admiral. With a blend of policy critique and narrative subversion, Jon keeps viewers sharp as chaos unfolds across Capitol Hill and the global stage.

In this Monday edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dissects the weekend bombshell that Joe Biden has an aggressive, bone-metastasized prostate cancer, and more importantly, the implications of what the regime knew and when. From Biden's suspicious 2021 polyp to his own gaffe-ridden admissions of cancer in years past, Jon examines expert commentary and medical timelines that suggest the public's been deceived for years. He connects the dots between the cancer reveal and potential narrative smokescreens for ongoing scandals: the Her tapes, the AutoPen controversy, and the disintegration of Biden's legitimacy. Herold also breaks down explosive new interviews from Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, offers sharp commentary on the DOJ's quiet restructuring, and flags early financial tremors in Japan and the U.S. bond market as possible signals of an engineered economic collapse. Other highlights include ZeroHedge crashing the White House press briefing with Epstein intel, CBS News' top exec stepping down amid Trump lawsuits, and Bernie Sanders admitting the DNC has destroyed democracy...on camera. With a dose of cautious optimism, Jon calls for transparency, accountability, and vigilance as narratives shift and power players maneuver behind the scenes.

In this packed Friday edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold tackles the controversy around James Comey's now-deleted “8647” Instagram post, which the Trump administration is investigating as a potential call for assassination. Jon weighs the possible meanings, whether it was an actual coded threat or just another case of elite hubris, and reacts to Trump's own fiery response. Next, Herold dives into breaking developments within the FBI as Cash Patel reveals the agency is abandoning the Hoover Building and decentralizing operations across the U.S., a move Trump hinted at months earlier. He connects the dots between the shake-up and broader efforts to purge corruption, including the shutdown of the FBI's public corruption unit that once helped launch the Arctic Frost probe into Trump. Other highlights include UnitedHealth's dramatic collapse amid federal fraud investigations, Trump's post-Middle East warning to 150 countries about pending tariffs, and the ongoing GOP failure to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Jon also covers the EU's Digital Services Act and the Trump administration's pushback against global censorship laws. Blending breaking news, geopolitical analysis, and unfiltered commentary, this episode captures the chaos and clarity of a movement reclaiming power one headline at a time.

In this lively episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold sits down with media provocateur and BlazeTV host Alex Stein for an unfiltered, often hilarious deep dive into culture war activism, censorship, and the growing influence of Turning Point USA. Stein recounts his viral college campus confrontations, behind-the-scenes experiences with Charlie Kirk and Tim Pool, and why he prefers disrupting protests to running for school board. The two discuss election integrity, media self-censorship, and the limits of free speech on platforms like YouTube, touching on foreign influence, big donor control, and why some conservative influencers avoid topics like Israel or COVID truth to protect their monetization. Stein defends his approach while reflecting on his bigger dream: running a cat sanctuary. After the interview, Jon recaps major headlines, including Trump's potential nuclear deal with Iran, Zelensky's stalled peace talks, and the Supreme Court's debate over birthright citizenship. He also highlights RFK Jr.'s bombshell testimony and the growing narrative collapse around Big Pharma and the 2020 election. Witty, raw, and sharply observant, this episode blends satire and strategy with a serious look at who's shaping the narrative, and who's profiting from it.

In this sweeping episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright dig into the geopolitical and narrative shifts defining Trump's second term. They begin with Trump's masterful Saudi Arabia speech, interpreting it as both a strategic declaration and a roadmap for global realignment. The hosts explore the rise of the “sovereign alliance”, a growing bloc of nationalist-led nations turning away from the globalist order, and unpack Iran's surprising offer to sign a nuclear agreement if the U.S. ditches Netanyahu's influence. They dissect the quiet trade deal with China, revealing how Trump and Xi secretly negotiated economic rebalancing while maintaining the illusion of public hostility, trapping both the media and the Fed in their own lies. They argue Trump is staging a peaceful, constitutional hostile takeover, aligning with founding principles to dismantle a captured U.S. government without firing a shot. From the restructuring of the National Security Council and the fading relevance of Congress, to the narrative inversion of historical allies and enemies, Herold and Bright make the case that we've entered a new phase of the info war: the Sovereign Siege. It's tactical, psychological, and unstoppable, and they're calling the shots as it unfolds.

In this refreshingly candid episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold blends humor with hard-hitting analysis as he covers a range of stories from the absurd to the geopolitically significant. Leading the charge is Trump's announcement of a $1.2 trillion economic agreement with Qatar, along with historic arms and aircraft deals, made even more bizarre by the backdrop of Qatar gifting Trump a replacement Air Force One. Domestically, Jon dives into Trump's executive order to cut drug prices and the surprising twist that a Democrat, Rep. Ro Khanna, is introducing legislation to codify it, while Republicans drag their feet. He slams Congress for being run by lobbyist-compromised staffers, not elected officials, and calls the legislative process little more than a PR stunt. Other highlights include a judge upholding Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport violent gang members, James O'Keefe's bizarre Epstein kitchen footage, and Rubio's planned restructuring of the National Security Council to better match Trump's top-down style. Jon also revisits the reinstatement of Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, celebrates Trump's camel-flanked parade, and skewers the performative politics dominating D.C. Light on guests but loaded with insight, it's a classic solo Herold hour, snarky, sharp, and unmistakably Badlands.

In this high-impact episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down President Trump's game-changing speech in Saudi Arabia, calling it one of the most significant geopolitical addresses of his second term. Jon walks listeners through the key takeaways: a $600 billion Saudi investment in the U.S., the lifting of sanctions on Syria, and the bold framing of Iran as both threat and potential partner. He emphasizes the absence of Israel in Trump's Middle East realignment, an intentional and telling omission as Trump praises the region's transformation without Western intervention. Jon also explores Trump's rhetorical pivot away from regime-change policies and his declaration that “nation builders wrecked more nations than they built.” Clips from the speech highlight Trump's call for regional self-governance, an end to permanent enemies, and a “golden age” for both America and the Middle East. Herold connects these themes to long-standing Badlands narratives, including the sovereign alliance, devolution, and the Abraham Accords, hinting that Saudi Arabia may soon join. Beyond the Middle East, Jon dives into domestic policy, including Trump's executive order slashing drug prices, backlash from Thom Tillis and Big Pharma allies, and new subpoenas targeting California's alleged misuse of federal funds for illegal immigrants. He also unpacks Trump's evolving role in crypto, criticisms of his Qatari jet gift, and explosive revelations from Jake Tapper's new book exposing Biden's declining health and internal campaign chaos. With sharp analysis, media callouts, and plenty of sarcastic jabs, Jon weaves together narrative warfare, foreign policy shifts, and political theater in what may be Trump's clearest roadmap to peace, and power, yet.

In this Monday edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold unpacks a whirlwind weekend of policy, press drama, and geopolitics. The show opens with Trump's much-hyped Truth Social tease that delivered a sweeping executive order slashing U.S. prescription drug prices by up to 80%. Jon applauds the move, explaining how the “most favored nation” policy aims to end the pharma industry's global price-gouging scheme that has bled Americans for decades. He features powerful reactions from RFK Jr. and Stanford's Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who call the reform historic—and politically untouchable until now. Jon then shifts to foreign affairs, covering Trump's role in defusing potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan, a surprise trade détente with China, and speculation that Trump could attend Ukraine-Russia peace talks in Turkey. As Trump tours the Middle East, the press is melting down over a $400M luxury jet gifted by Qatar, intended to serve as the new Air Force One, an optics battleground Jon calls pure media theater. Also in the mix: rumors about Mark Kelly's alleged involvement in a Chinese spy balloon program, Elon Musk's exit from DOGE with budget hawk Russell Vought stepping in, and the kickoff of the explosive Diddy trial. Jon connects it all back to narrative control, institutional rot, and Trump's strategic dismantling of elite power centers, from Big Pharma to the globalist war machine. Smart, bold, and unfiltered, this episode is a reminder that Trump's second term isn't about playing defense, it's about flipping the whole system.

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold kicks things off with an in-depth segment featuring Ghost of Patrick Henry to unpack the geopolitical power plays redefining the Middle East. From Trump's surprising snub of Israel and the sidelining of Netanyahu, to renewed talks with Iran and a potentially historic Saudi nuclear deal, the duo digs deep into the motives and strategies behind Trump's emerging peace-through-strength doctrine. Ghost connects the dots on Jared Kushner's quiet return, Ron Dermer's desperation visit to D.C., and why a Trump-Putin handshake in Riyadh could flip the entire global narrative. Back on the homefront, Jon recaps the shakeup at DOJ, where Judge Jeanine Pirro replaces Ed Martin as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C., a move likely designed to expose more RINO obstruction in the Senate. Meanwhile, Martin slides into a powerful new triple-threat role leading pardons, investigating government weaponization, and serving as Associate Deputy AG. The episode also takes aim at James O'Keefe's overhyped Epstein “exposé,” calling out the clickbait tactics and flimsy accusations against Pam Bondi as a reckless distraction. Jon defends Dr. Casey Means, Trump's pick for Surgeon General, applauding her credentials as a fearless disruptor and dismantling the absurd arguments about her inactive license. Rounding out the show are sharp takes on Jasmine Crockett's projection-fueled rant, Letitia James' federal probe, the firing of FEMA's acting director, and a liberal meltdown over overpriced tacos. Herold weaves it all together with narrative warfare analysis and a reminder that chaos is just the prelude to clarity.

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold is joined by Congressman Pat Harrigan for a candid and surprisingly in-depth discussion about the inner workings of Congress, legislative dysfunction, and what it's really going to take to push President Trump's “one big beautiful bill” through both chambers. Harrigan, a former Green Beret and first-time Congressman, doesn't hold back, describing the pace of government as “galactic to glacial,” while explaining the delicate balancing act behind building consensus, curbing spending, and codifying Trump's agenda before time runs out. Jon presses hard on topics like election integrity, foreign lobbying, dual citizenship in Congress, and whether campaign funding influences loyalty. Harrigan holds his own, discussing term limits, national security threats from China, and a pending bill based on Trump's reciprocity doctrine, prohibiting foreign land ownership in the U.S. unless Americans can buy land in those countries. After the interview, Jon pivots to news highlights, including Trump's new reciprocal trade agreement with the UK, speculation around his upcoming “big announcement,” a potential Medicare drug price reform plan, and the DOJ's invocation of state secrets in the controversial El Salvador deportation case. He also covers FBI Director Kash Patel's recent child trafficking crackdown, ongoing Epstein document delays, and the historic selection of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the first American pope. Packed with straight talk, political insight, and sharp analysis, this episode pulls back the curtain on what's moving in D.C.—and what's not.

In this fiery episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold welcomes Congressman Michael Cloud for a hard-hitting interview on election integrity, congressional gridlock, and the uphill battle to reform a broken system. Cloud discusses his support for the SAVE Act to ensure only U.S. citizens vote and breaks down why Congress has struggled to pass meaningful legislation, despite overwhelming public support. Jon presses him on Congress's role in perpetuating problems it was created to solve, and Cloud doesn't shy away from calling for bold action, urging fellow legislators to “go big and go bold early.” The conversation digs into Federalist 78, judicial overreach, and whether Trump needs to obey activist judges, raising essential questions about the balance of power between branches of government. After Cloud departs, Jon breaks down Sen. Tillis's resistance to Trump's nominee for D.C. U.S. Attorney, analyzes Trump's upcoming renaming of the Persian Gulf, covers Fed policy updates, and considers the global implications of Trump's potential Middle East peace moves. Ash joins to expose Rep. Lauren Boebert's late and questionable call to “Free Tina Peters,” detailing her prior involvement and silence as a key witness. With insights on political hypocrisy, spending transparency, and global realignment, this episode delivers sharp commentary and principled urgency.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold recaps a jam-packed day of headlines and speculation centered around Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to the White House. Trump steals the show with fiery commentary on U.S.-Canada trade relations, poking fun at Carney while floating the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state, complete with “free military” and lower taxes. Jon also highlights the power imbalance in global trade as Trump asserts America no longer needs to sign deals, it simply sets terms. Major foreign policy updates include Trump's announcement that the Houthis have agreed to cease attacks, prompting a pause in U.S. bombings, and a teaser for a “major” announcement from the Middle East, possibly hinting at new Abraham Accords signatories. Domestically, Trump signed an executive order halting all federal funding for gain-of-function research, citing public health and national security risks. Jon also critiques the politicization of gas prices, election rulings in North Carolina, and the resurfacing of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting. He covers economic threats from Japan over U.S. Treasuries, the media's racial framing of tariffs, and a bombshell lawsuit from Stephen Miller's AFL targeting Chief Justice Roberts. From foreign policy to financial maneuvering, Herold delivers a rapid-fire, no-nonsense rundown of the day's most pressing stories.

May 5, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 17The investment world witnessed a seismic shift as Warren Buffett announced his plan to step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, effective January 1, 2026. While maintaining his chairman role and 14% ownership stake worth $164 billion, Buffett will pass operational control to Greg Abel after an unparalleled career generating a 5,502,000% return over six decades – compared to the S&P 500's 39,000% with dividends.What made Buffett irreplaceable wasn't just his brilliance, but his extraordinary dedication and pattern recognition abilities developed through reading over 100,000 financial statements. Unlike modern investors relying on technology, Buffett built what one journalist called "a form of artificial intelligence" through his obsessive study and near-photographic memory. His success benefited from perfect timing – beginning his career before institutional investors dominated markets – and a unique structure that avoided management fees and market-timing pressures.Though none of us will match Buffett's performance, individual investors share key advantages with him. We can think long-term without pressure for quick returns, invest with minimal fees, and maintain positions through market turbulence. These structural benefits give patient investors a surprising edge in today's fast-moving markets.Meanwhile, markets completed their longest winning streak since 2004, with the S&P rising nine consecutive days. Yet professional investors are remarkably pessimistic – Barron's latest poll shows 32% bearish, higher than during the dot-com crash, 9/11, financial crisis, or pandemic. This extreme sentiment might actually signal opportunity ahead.Artificial intelligence continues driving tech investment, with Microsoft reporting being "capacity constrained" for Azure AI servers and Meta increasing capital expenditure forecasts. As one executive put it, "We're not even at the second strike of the first batter in the first inning" of AI development, suggesting the revolution is just beginning.Want more market insights and investment perspectives?

In this pre-recorded edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold checks in from Plymouth ahead of GART to break down a fast-moving news cycle packed with economic shakeups, narrative control tactics, and the GOP's ongoing civil war. Jon unpacks Trump's escalating trade war, including the backlash from Amazon's decision to publicly display tariff costs on product listings, a move Trump's team slammed as politically motivated. He highlights the administration's strategic use of tariffs to drive tax relief and domestic investment, with Scott Bessent outlining plans to fund tax breaks for working Americans using revenue from foreign imports. Jon also digs into Trump's tough stance on leaks, detailing new polygraph testing across national security agencies and the Justice Department's expanded authority to subpoena journalists. He shares mixed thoughts on the ethics and effectiveness of polygraphs and anonymous sourcing, but applauds the administration's aggressive push to root out deep state sabotage. Additional stories include the economic narrative war over Q1 GDP data, the launch of a federal election integrity task force in New Jersey, Congress's failure to act meaningfully while handing out gold medals, and the growing threat of GOP obstruction to Trump's tariff agenda. With sharp takes on the MS-13 narrative trap, Trump's foreign investment deals, and Greg Abbott's speech policing, this episode delivers a wide-angle lens on the first 100 days of disruption.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold updates listeners before heading off to GART in Plymouth. He covers Trump's latest executive orders targeting sanctuary cities, cracking down on criminal illegal aliens, and restoring law enforcement authority nationwide. Jon critiques the new media "influencer" system at the White House, calling out figures like DC Drano for being marketing agency picks rather than real journalists. He breaks down the absurd attempt by Rep. Shri Thanedar to impeach Trump, roasting the embarrassing rollout and mocking the Democrats' desperation. Other highlights include Trump's economic team surpassing 80% staffing milestones, IBM's $150 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, Mexico's water deal concessions under Trump's tariff pressure, and the reintroduction of Josh Hawley's "Pelosi Act" to ban stock trading by members of Congress. Despite a lighter news cycle, Jon packs this short but lively episode with sharp commentary, humor, and calls to support Badlands Media during GART Week.

In this packed episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold gears up for GART Week while breaking down the latest major stories. He covers Trump's upcoming executive orders aimed at bolstering immigration enforcement, including mandating English proficiency for truck drivers. Jon also digs into the suspicious death of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, media manipulation around illegal immigration, and the absurd narratives surrounding the deportation of U.S. citizen children with their illegal immigrant mothers. He discusses Trump's playful but pointed call for Canada to become the 51st state, analyzes a Telegraph report tracking Trump's progress on major campaign promises, and highlights the continuing collapse of the Ukraine war narrative with Russia's bizarre pre-planned ceasefire. Other topics include the brewing tensions between India and Pakistan, a massive DEA-led nightclub raid involving illegal immigrants and active-duty soldiers, a shocking power outage across the Iberian Peninsula, and the exposure of Wikipedia's political bias. Jon ties it all together with sharp commentary, humor, and a call for vigilance as the regime's propaganda continues to crumble.

April 28, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 16President Trump's negotiation tactics are reshaping financial markets, and understanding his playbook might be your best investment strategy. His approach, detailed in "The Art of the Deal," reveals a philosophy of aiming high and pushing relentlessly to achieve his goals. As he states, "I play to people's fantasies... a little hyperbole never hurts." This perspective helps explain the market's volatility following his tariff announcements and subsequent modifications.Surprisingly, it's professional investors – not individuals – who've been fleeing during recent market turbulence. Hedge funds have sold over $1 trillion more shares than they've purchased this year, while everyday investors have steadily bought approximately $50 billion monthly. This upends Wall Street's traditional "smart money vs. dumb money" narrative. Individual investors, increasingly invested through 401(k)s and index funds, have demonstrated remarkable stability – Vanguard reports 97% avoided making trades during early April's market volatility.Gold has emerged as 2024's standout performer, appreciating approximately 30% year-to-date to around $3,400 per ounce. Over the past two decades, SPDR Gold Shares has surged 630%, marginally outperforming the S&P 500. This contradicts conventional wisdom that productive assets should outperform non-yielding assets over time. For investors considering gold now, mining stocks like Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining might offer better opportunities than the metal itself.Municipal bonds represent another opportunity area, with long-term munis yielding about 95% of comparable treasuries – essentially offering tax exemption benefits at minimal cost. For investors in tax brackets of 20% or higher, these bonds can generate tax-equivalent yields of 6-8% in high-quality assets.As we navigate an environment of heightened uncertainty – with international trade negotiations, geopolitical tensions, and domestic policy shifts – understanding these market dynamics becomes essential for making informed investment decisions that align with your long-term goals and risk tolerance.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

Jon Herold welcomes Ashe in America for a wide-ranging discussion about the latest legal and political battles defining this critical moment in history. They unpack the recent court ruling blocking Trump's citizenship requirement for voter registration, exposing how states' dependence on federal funding could be a pressure point for reform. Ashe explains how Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act is being challenged by activist judges, and why Supreme Court rulings are slowly but critically clarifying the constitutional limits of judicial power. The conversation also covers Trump's major new memorandum targeting ActBlue's alleged donation laundering schemes, the massive implications of the ongoing "smurfing" investigations, and how foreign and domestic fraud networks have been quietly funding political campaigns. Jon and Ashe debate whether real change can come from within the current system, touch on the resignation of corrupt judges, and preview the broader themes that will be explored at the upcoming GART conference.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives into a deceptively “slow” news day that's anything but dull. From Trump's education-focused executive orders to strange bedfellows like the Atlantic landing an interview with 45, Jon calls out the weird optics and deeper strategy. He slams the push to integrate AI into schools, calling it “anti-education,” and unpacks how our broken university system traps young adults in debt for careers they never wanted. Herold shares his personal experience with the aimless path through academia and ties it into the broader problem of American cultural and economic stagnation. Shifting gears, he speculates whether Trump is resurrecting his 2020 trade deal with China, suggesting the current narrative might just be a long road back to a deal already made, offering a potential "devolution proof" moment. On the foreign policy front, Jon questions whether Russia's latest strike on Kyiv was real or strategic theater and challenges the sudden media narrative shift that seems suspiciously convenient for Team Zelensky. He also critiques Trump's media strategy, wondering aloud why legacy “fake news” outlets still get top-tier access while MAGA media remains sidelined. Also on deck: housing market red flags, India-Pakistan tensions, Elon Musk sues Minnesota over AI election laws, and explosive allegations about TPUSA misconduct. A scattered, scrappy, and unapologetically raw breakdown of today's info war battlefield.

In this explosive episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold is joined by Gabrielle Cuccia, OANN's Pentagon correspondent, for a no-holds-barred look inside the power struggle currently erupting at the Department of Defense. They unpack the recent firings of three top Pentagon officials, reportedly linked to the now-infamous Signal chat leaks and potentially tied to covert operations involving China and surveillance developments in Panama. Gabrielle provides insider details on the memo issued by Hegseth's team authorizing interagency investigations and polygraphs for leakers, an aggressive move suggesting criminal prosecutions are on the table. They also explore how Hegseth's position may be more secure than Beltway whisperers suggest, given recent high-level hires and strategic moves. In a major revelation, Gabrielle confirms that Obama-era deep state figure Susan Rice remains listed on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board, raising serious questions about oversight, renewal protocols, and whether the administration is fully aware of the swamp it inherited. She reveals her team discovered the issue and likely tipped off Dan Caldwell, who later exposed it on Tucker Carlson. Jon rounds out the episode with updates on Zelensky's Crimea comments and Trump's reaction, U.S. economic retaliation against China, Bessant's IMF overhaul strategy, and the bizarre narrative war against UFC fans and rising support for Trump. As always, Herold delivers critical analysis with zero cheerleading and a warning to stay vigilant...because this is the last shot to fix it.

Jon Herold returns with a jam-packed episode of The Daily Herold, covering a massive range of stories from the global chessboard to local classroom battles and the quiet mutiny of the deep state. He kicks things off with a critical update on Trump's economic strategy, finalized trade deal negotiations with India, escalating tariff pressure on Japan, and China threatening retaliatory sanctions against U.S. allies. Jon breaks down how this global rebalancing is shaking markets, enraging the IMF, and reinforcing America First policy at every turn. On the domestic front, Jon spotlights the quietly leaked Trump executive order restructuring the State Department, slashing embassies, and firing hundreds of deep state bureaucrats, while somehow Susan Rice still lingers on a DoD advisory board. He doesn't hold back his frustration with the slow pace of administrative cleanup. The episode also takes a hard look at the Minnesota Tesla vandalism case, the Supreme Court's inaction on school opt-out rights, and new data showing just 30% of Illinois fourth graders can read at grade level. In education, immigration, and lawfare, Jon ties every story back to the heart of the matter: the system is broken, and Americans are waking up. From Larry David's Hitler satire to the left's newest narrative push, “dark woke”, Jon exposes the absurdity, hypocrisy, and desperation of the establishment's culture war rebrand. Fast-paced, fiery, and funny, this episode is a full-spectrum takedown of the old world order.

Jon Herold returns from a brief but much-needed mental reset with a jam-packed episode of The Daily Herold, diving into a whirlwind of legal, political, and financial chaos. He opens with the biggest bombshell of the weekend: the Supreme Court's unprecedented 1 a.m. order halting deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. Herold and legal analyst Ashe in America sound the alarm on what may be a full-blown constitutional crisis, as the ACLU pressures SCOTUS to intervene directly in immigration enforcement. If the court grants their latest request, Ashe warns, it may officially cross the line into illegitimacy. From there, Herold unpacks the suspiciously timed death of Pope Francis just one day after meeting JD Vance, jokes about papal politics aside. He pairs that with Klaus Schwab's long-teased resignation from the WEF and speculates about a possible global narrative shift. He also covers major moves inside Trump's national security team, particularly the return of deep-state slayer Derek Harvey to the NSC, and hints that Ezra Cohen-Watnick may be next. Meanwhile, Trump's financial shake-up is in full swing: Powell may be on the way out, the dollar is dropping, gold and Bitcoin are soaring, and Trump's tariff-fueled export strategy is triggering controlled economic chaos by design. Plus: RFK assassination files go public, the DOJ quietly edits Biden transcripts, and an OnlyFans congress scandal gets weirder. Constitutional collisions, papal power games, and 250,000 rounds of political ammo...Jon is back and firing on all cylinders.

April 21, 2025 Season 7 | Episode 15The global financial landscape is shifting beneath our feet as the dollar hits a three-year low and gold surges to record highs. This change defies conventional market wisdom - when equities fall, we expect treasuries and the dollar to strengthen as safe havens. Yet we're witnessing the opposite, raising profound questions about America's economic future in a changing world.What's driving these unusual market reactions? At the heart lies America's persistent trade deficits, which stem from three fundamental causes: our low national savings rate compared to other countries, massive federal budget deficits approaching $2 trillion annually, and unfair international trade practices that disadvantage American producers. While tariffs address the third factor, they don't solve the underlying spending and saving imbalances that define our economy.Using a simplified example of US-Vietnam trade, I demonstrate how different national spending habits naturally create trade imbalances. The concerning shift is that global investors may be questioning whether the dollar remains the stable store of value it's been for decades. This potential sea change demands we reconsider investment strategies that have served us well in the past.For investors, these shifts present both challenges and opportunities. Fixed income investments have become surprisingly attractive, with municipal bonds offering 4-5% tax-free yields, preferred stocks paying 6-7% with favorable tax treatment, and traditional treasuries approaching 5% - the highest yields in 15 years. Retirees should be particularly vigilant about portfolio protection, creating adequate cash reserves to avoid withdrawing from depressed equities during market downturns.Remember James Clear's wisdom: "Success is largely the failures you avoid." In uncertain markets, controlling what you can - your asset allocation, diversification strategy, and emotional responses - matters more than ever. How are you positioning your portfolio for this new economic reality? Does your strategy need adjustment as traditional market relationships evolve? These are the crucial questions every investor should be asking right now.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

In this explosive episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Ghost unpack a tidal wave of stories pointing to major power shifts both at home and abroad. They kick off with the Pentagon's silent housecleaning, three top officials removed in a leak investigation tied to high-level Signal chats, Ukraine intelligence suspensions, and potential treasonous behavior. Is this the dismantling of entrenched resistance within Trump's DOD? The duo then turns to the foreign front, where sovereign leaders across Europe are defying EU orders and aligning with Trump's America First diplomacy. Serbia and Slovakia stand strong against globalist threats, and the State Department's censorship engine, the Global Engagement Center, is officially dismantled thanks to Marco Rubio and Darren Beattie, signaling a massive win for free speech and anti-NGO sovereignty. Herold and Ghost also dig deep into Trump's quietly reassembled foreign policy team, from Adam Boehler's rogue diplomacy with Hamas to Steve Witkoff's direct talks with Putin and Iran. They examine the neocon panic, Trump's controlled inflection points, and why this slow-motion purge of legacy actors might be the plan all along. To top it off, they revisit the mysterious 2021 transfer of 175 million Pentagon IP addresses and the recent resignation of the Defense Digital Service, raising new questions about continuity of government, classified comms, and who's really in control. Buckle up. This episode connects dots across continents and administrations.

Jon Herold returns with a solo scorcher on The Daily Herold, covering a whirlwind of stories from the Trump administration's latest executive orders to the unraveling of deep state operatives and judicial overreach. Jon breaks down seven new Trump EOs focused on lowering prescription drug prices, securing critical minerals, streamlining infrastructure permits, and, most explosively, barring illegal aliens from receiving Social Security benefits. He doesn't hold back on how insane it is that this wasn't already a policy. From there, Jon dissects the legal theatrics surrounding the deportation of MS-13-linked Kilmar Garcia, calling out Judge Boasberg's contempt threat as toothless grandstanding. He covers Pam Bondi's legal smackdown on Maine over women's sports protections, Gavin Newsom's laughable lawsuit against Trump's tariffs, and Biden's return to public speaking (complete with signature gaffes). But the real heat comes with breaking news: Letitia James is now under federal criminal referral for mortgage fraud, the exact offense she used to hammer Trump. Jon also dives into the mass resignation of the Pentagon's tech team linked to the mysterious IP address handoff in 2020, DOJ letters targeting Mueller's prosecution team, and two senior Pentagon officials fired over classified leaks. From CIA shakeups to media pool purges, Jon tracks every signal in the noise.

Jon Herold welcomes special guest Dr. Mary Talley Bowden for a powerful and candid conversation about the lingering fallout from COVID-era medical tyranny, the ongoing fight against mandated medicine, and the silence from leaders who should know better. Dr. Bowden shares her story of being publicly punished by Houston Methodist for speaking out on vaccine efficacy and adverse outcomes, despite never using her privileges there, and the legal battle she's now facing for attempting to prescribe ivermectin under court order. The conversation dives into the chilling Massachusetts case where children were seized from their parents for refusing to vaccinate, the need for a constitutional amendment to ban medical mandates, and the frustrating disconnect between the “Make America Healthy Again” movement and the frontline doctors who sacrificed to tell the truth. Dr. Bowden also discusses ivermectin's potential cancer-fighting use, RFK Jr.'s mixed messaging, and how regular citizens are sparking meaningful legislative change. After the interview, Jon pivots to economic strategy, Biden's odd return to the spotlight, Trump's tariff playbook, the battle over Harvard's federal funding, and the White House's push to slash foreign aid and defund NPR. A jam-packed episode full of fire, facts, and fearless questions.

Jon Herold kicks off the week with a packed edition of The Daily Herold, diving deep into President Trump's headline-making meeting with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele. From Trump's remarks on immigration, border security, and MS-13 to Bukele's unapologetic crackdown on crime, Jon breaks down how the two leaders are reshaping geopolitics and sparking media meltdowns in the process. The show also unpacks China's response to Trump's trade war, tightening rare earth mineral exports, and how the U.S. is countering with domestic production, semiconductor tariffs, and AI manufacturing deals with Nvidia. Jon explains why Trump's tariff strategy is more than economic policy, it's a national security overhaul meant to repatriate critical industries. Jon also digs into the legal chaos surrounding a Supreme Court order to return a deported MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, Trump's cognitive test soundbites, growing tensions over the Ukraine conflict, and the EU's burner phone paranoia. From Palantir's AI battle systems and the FTC's antitrust case against Meta to student homelessness laws in California and a bizarre arson attack at Governor Shapiro's residence, Jon ties together the week's most bizarre and important stories with speed, wit, and unfiltered analysis.        

Jon Herold returns with a wide-ranging Friday breakdown of the week's most explosive, and overlooked stories. He covers Trump's ongoing legal war with regime-aligned law firms, including a new executive order revoking security clearances and forcing $500 million in pro bono legal work from firms like Kirkland & Ellis and Latham & Watkins. Jon questions how these law firms keep bending the knee and what kind of legal offensive Trump is preparing behind the scenes. He dives into the unraveling global economy, explaining how Trump's tariff pincer may be triggering a basis trade meltdown that could force the Fed to intervene, risking accusations of political bias. Treasury yields are rising when they should be falling, liquidity is evaporating, and Trump may be tightening the screws on the global financial system in real time. The episode also covers Tulsi Gabbard's much-hyped election integrity remarks, clarifying what she actually said, and didn't. Jon calls out the cheerleader culture that elevates empty rhetoric over tangible results. He also highlights Gabbard's appointment of a Koch-linked official against Trump's own stated wishes, and questions why more aren't raising concerns. From the dismantling of Obama-era election security infrastructure to the declassification of more Russiagate receipts, a shakeup in Ukraine diplomacy, deep cuts to NASA, and AI lawsuit wars between Musk and Altman, Jon pulls no punches. If you're looking for honest analysis, sharp critique, and zero tolerance for nonsense, this is your go-to wrap-up of the week.

In this heavyweight edition of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright break down the multi-layered global chessboard unfolding around Donald Trump's aggressive new tariffs, and the cascading geopolitical, economic, and narrative consequences they're triggering. The duo dives deep into Trump's 125% tariff strike against China, unpacking how this move is not just about trade, but about forcing a global realignment. They reveal how over 75 nations are now rushing to the table to strike “bespoke” trade deals, effectively isolating China and trapping it in an economic pincer movement. Scott Bessent's economic strategy and the public narrative around “surrounding China” is dissected with precision, as Herold and Bright explore whether this is a true trade war, or a coordinated decoupling effort with Xi himself. From bond market anomalies and treasury yield chaos to Main Street vs. Wall Street dynamics, the hosts propose that Trump may be gaming the Federal Reserve into lowering interest rates, using tariff pressure, asset repositioning, and even China's own moves against it. They also question whether all these global deals have already been made behind the scenes...and we're just watching the theatrical rollout. In the second half, they shift focus to the CNN article on Trump's dismantling of Obama-era election infrastructure. With CISA gutted, DHS funding pulled, and election security networks disbanded, they argue that Trump is not just “fortifying” 2024, he's surgically removing the entire rigged narrative scaffolding erected since 2016. They bring receipts from Trump's executive order, comment on Chris Krebs' nervous media appearances, and explore why the media is warning of chaos in 2025. With humor, clarity, and a whole lot of receipts, this episode exposes the quiet demolition of the old regime and asks the question no one else is asking: what if it's all going exactly to plan?

Jon Herold returns with a sharp breakdown of Trump's expanding offensive, economically, politically, and strategically. He opens with a fiery defense of Trump's tariffs and a takedown of Rand Paul's “free market” arguments, exposing the moral rot behind globalist trade and the exploitation of slave labor. Joined by Ghost, the duo unpacks escalating tensions in the Middle East, highlighting Israel's push for the David Corridor and Trump's quiet alliance-building with Turkey and Russia to block a war with Iran. On the home front, Jon covers Trump's latest executive orders targeting Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, the resurfacing of the Crossfire Hurricane documents, and the passage of the SAVE Act, aimed at securing federal elections. He also dives into whistleblower claims against Zuckerberg, China's economic counterpunches, and the swamp's meltdown over deregulation and water pressure. As always, Jon delivers clarity, receipts, and the kind of TL;DR commentary the moment demands.

Jon Herold tackles the rapidly unfolding global trade war and financial shakeups in a packed Wednesday edition of The Daily Herold. With Trump's 104% tariffs on Chinese goods now in effect, China retaliates with 84% tariffs of its own. Jon breaks down the global fallout, from Kevin O'Leary's call for 400% tariffs to Scott Bessent's insight on China's economic vulnerability, and explains how Trump is using U.S. leverage to force other nations to pressure China economically. The episode also explores the strange behavior in U.S. bond markets, rising interest rates despite recession fears, and whether foreign governments are dumping treasuries in retaliation. Jon questions whether this is a coordinated economic war, and what Trump's endgame might be. He also digs into the shocking data on illegal immigrants receiving Social Security numbers, Medicaid, and even casting votes in U.S. elections. Meanwhile, Tim Pool drops a bombshell about his off-the-record meeting with Netanyahu, revealing the Israeli PM's quiet push to influence American podcasters. Jon roasts Kristi Noem for staging a raid for social media clout, calls out the collapse of CISA's election influence apparatus, and reviews Trump's newest deregulation blitz, targeting energy, coal, and state overreach. A federal judge rules the AP's exclusion from White House events violated the First Amendment, and the IRS continues its leadership exodus amid scandals over illegal data sharing with DHS. All this while Trump's executive orders stack up and his agenda is only beginning to take shape. With economic brinkmanship, constitutional conflict, and narrative warfare all in motion, Jon Herold makes one thing clear: we're deep in the storm, and just getting started.

Jon Herold returns with a loaded Tuesday edition of The Daily Herold, unpacking everything from tariff tremors to CIA blunders. Special guest Gabrielle Cucci joins early in the episode for an intel-packed conversation about Trump's $1 trillion Pentagon budget and what it might really be funding, including missile defense upgrades, Space Force expansions, and Lockheed's next-gen fighter jets. They dive into the recent shakeups in military leadership, the quiet chaos inside Cyber Command, and the potential split of the NSA and CyberCom. Gabrielle breaks major news on a forced CIA vaccine program that risked blowing agent cover abroad, leading to the quiet firing of a senior official. Jon follows with deep analysis on the state of global trade negotiations as 70 countries scramble to adjust to Trump's shockwave tariff policy, including South Korea's fast pivot and Israel's awkward Oval Office moment. Other key stories include the Supreme Court greenlighting Trump's wartime immigration authority under the Alien Enemies Act, Ripple's $1.25B acquisition and crypto ascension, and Trump's 104% tariff punch to China. The show wraps with a look at weaponized prosecutions, IRS layoffs, revived dire wolves (yes, really), and Jon's take on how all these stories signal the regime's unraveling. Buckle up. It's a wide-ranging episode that proves the Herold always delivers.

Jon Herold returns from a whirlwind Nashville weekend and dives straight into the economic firestorm dominating headlines. As global markets plunge and the media melts down, Jon unpacks the root of the panic: Trump's aggressive new tariff strategy. From retaliatory moves by China and the EU to the crumbling talking points of the globalist elite, Jon lays out how Trump's America First trade policy is reshaping the economic landscape, and why it's driving the right people crazy. He explores how this orchestrated disruption could usher in a fairer global trade system, highlights MAGA's internal battles with Congress, and breaks down Trump's Truth Social posts as real-time geopolitical chess moves. Plus, thoughts on Facebook's shift to Community Notes, the media's "redemption tour," and a hilarious look at one judge's bizarre order to re-import a deported illegal alien. It's a full-spectrum breakdown of chaos, optics, and controlled demolition, with just the right dose of sass.

Jon Herold wraps up the week from Nashville with updates on the Badlanders meetup and a jam-packed rundown of global and domestic power shifts. He digs into the firing of NSA Director Tim Haugh, what it means for Cybercom, and why Ezra Cohen-Watnick is sounding alarms about America's intelligence leadership. Jon breaks down Trump's escalating tariff war with China, potential 0% vs. infinite tariffs as the new global order, and how these moves could ultimately dismantle the globalist system. Other stories include Trump's $5 million gold citizenship card, Greenland's potential independence (and interest in joining the U.S.), Norm Eisen's eyebrow-raising Czech getaway with Justice Roberts, and Russell Brand facing new accusations. Jon also discusses SignalGate, the EU's war on X, and the strategy behind Trump's rumored stock market disruption. Unfiltered and packed with insight, this Friday edition delivers serious signal through the noise.

Jon Herold is back with another sharp and wide-ranging edition of The Daily Herold, this time broadcasting from stormy Nashville. He breaks down Trump's sweeping tariff rollout, including the possible launch of an “External Revenue Service”, and what it all means for economic sovereignty and national security. From the Department of Energy's plan to build AI data centers on federal land to Ford's surprise discount campaign, Jon weaves together the latest policy shifts, economic signals, and media gaslighting. He also covers the shake-up at the National Security Council following Laura Loomer's Oval Office visit, Hunter Biden's disbarment, and U.S. Attorney Ed Martin's investigation into the legitimacy of Biden's pardons. With updates on Ukraine peace talks, TikTok's potential buyout, and a new congressional push to undermine Trump's tariff authority, this episode is a full-spectrum look at the unraveling of the old guard and the fight to build something better.

Jon Herold breaks down the head-scratching results out of Wisconsin, where voters approved a voter ID measure while simultaneously electing a liberal Supreme Court justice. He unpacks the numbers, the narrative, and the glaring inconsistencies...offering a clear reminder that election integrity remains the issue of our time. Jon also critiques Charlie Kirk's recent strategy remarks and the broader Conservative Inc. approach that seems more interested in managing the system than fixing it. With Trump's Liberation Day executive orders rolling out and Congress clocking out early for the week, Jon highlights the growing gap between what Americans want and what their representatives actually do. From election analysis to government dysfunction, it's a focused and insightful episode that cuts through the noise.

Jon Herold kicks off a jam-packed April Fools Day episode with not one, but two powerhouse guests. First up is Gabrielle Cuccia from OAN, bringing Pentagon insight on escalating China-Taiwan tensions, bizarre propaganda tactics, and signs of coming kinetic conflict in the Pacific. Later, CannCon joins the show to break down the shocking dismissal of the Curling v. Raffensperger election case, eight years, millions spent, and a ruling that says voters don't need to know how their vote is counted. Jon wraps it all up with a whirlwind of news: Trump's executive orders on concert ticket scalping and billion-dollar investments, the Senate's fight over Canada tariffs, a lawsuit to stop Trump's HHS cuts, and more mainstream media spin...this time, about a "Maryland father" with MS-13 ties. It's a fast-moving episode full of sharp analysis, media takedowns, and a few well-earned rants.

Jon Herold kicks off this Monday edition of The Daily Herold with a caffeine jolt of methylene blue and a packed rundown of breaking developments. Trump's Liberation Day tariff strategy is expanding fast, now targeting all nations with reciprocal trade pressure, and Wall Street is rattled. Jon dives into the shutdown of USAID, the crypto ambitions of the Trump family, and a string of executive orders reshaping everything from government payrolls to military standards. He also unpacks the bizarre timing behind Virginia Giuffre's health crisis, the drama around Ukraine's postponed elections, and what it all might mean for global power players like Zelensky and Putin. Toss in Elon's patriotic Mars dreams, a possible Bill Maher meeting with Trump, and a sharp critique of old media's resurgence, and you've got a firecracker of a Monday show.  

Jon Herold welcomes the brilliant Dr. Carol Swain for a powerful conversation that hits straight at the heart of America's most pressing issues. From Trump's new executive orders on election integrity and education reform to dismantling the Department of Education, Dr. Swain brings sharp insight and firsthand experience as a former member of the 1776 Commission. She explains the spiritual and cultural stakes of our political battles and why a national revival might be the only path forward. After Dr. Swain's segment, Jon dives deep into Trump's sweeping executive orders, from cracking down on federal unions and reviving American history to restoring sanity at the Smithsonian and cleaning up D.C. He unpacks the potential of a temporary administration in Ukraine, a halt to U.S. contributions to the World Trade Organization, and the ripple effects of BlackRock's halted Panama Canal deal. Plus: fluoride bans, Signal chat fallout, Boasberg's ruling, the Supreme Court showdown, and liberal meltdowns of the week. Packed with sharp analysis and a touch of righteous sarcasm, this episode delivers the big picture.

Jon Herold welcomes election integrity warrior Leah Hoopes for a fiery segment breaking down the stunning Democrat win in Pennsylvania's deep-red 36th district, and why blaming voters misses the bigger picture. Leah pulls no punches in her takedown of Scott Pressler's voter reg strategy, the Republican establishment, and the tech-driven fraud machine corrupting elections nationwide. Jon follows up with sharp analysis on Trump's latest EO, the U.S. bid to control Ukraine's resources, the court system's foreign entanglements, RFK Jr.'s clash with Big Soda, and much more.     

Jon Herold welcomes special guest Ashe in America for a sharp legal breakdown of this week's SCOTUS arguments, from Voting Rights Act gerrymandering to deportation timelines and the crumbling myth of judicial supremacy. Ashe sheds light on how Congress can actually abolish district courts...yes, really, and what Mike Johnson's recent comments mean for the future of the D.C. court circus. Then Jon digs into Trump's wave of executive orders, including the massive election integrity EO, the declassification of Crossfire Hurricane, and major wins against Planned Parenthood and the administrative state. He closes out with some blunt words on SignalGate, integrity, and the responsibility that comes with power.

From Jeffrey Goldberg's bizarre inclusion in a classified chat to the deeper implications for government communications infrastructure, Gabrielle brings her insider IT and intel knowledge to the table. They explore the use of Signal inside the intelligence community, what this “leak” really reveals, and how the Trump administration might turn a blunder into a systems overhaul. Plus, Jon covers the Trump admin's pushback on deportation flight oversight, Devon Archer's pardon, and why Rosie O'Donnell suddenly cares about election integrity.
