Podcasts about Herold

Jon Herold navigates a chaotic tech-glitchy Friday show to deliver one of the most significant developments yet: President Trump has publicly called for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election, reigniting the battle over election integrity. Jon dives into the implications of this explosive Truth Social post and connects it to Sidney Powell's past revelation that Trump had named her special counsel in a now-infamous December 2020 White House meeting. From renewed questions about election fraud and foreign interference to Trump's bold stance on Juneteenth and border control, Herold keeps it raw and unscripted. He also breaks down reports of secret nuclear negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran, the 9th Circuit's decision on National Guard powers, and the media's failed inflation predictions under Trump's tariff policies. Toss in a few liberal meltdowns, some sharp shots at fake news and grifters, and Jon's vision for a Badlands compound at the base of a mountain, and you've got a jam-packed episode that blends deep intel, spicy takes, and genuine grassroots energy. Technical hiccups aside, this one hits hard.

Jon Herold is back with a fiery edition of The Daily Herold, calling out censorship, foreign lobbying, and media manipulation with his trademark blend of sarcasm, receipts, and raw truth. He kicks off with praise for Rumble and a scathing rebuke of YouTube after another round of strikes against Badlands channels, proof, he says, that real free speech only exists on a handful of platforms. From there, Jon tears into Ted Cruz's viral interview with Tucker Carlson, blasting Cruz's unapologetic defense of Israel over Texas and exposing the cozy influence of AIPAC on U.S. politicians. He digs deep into the foreign lobbying debate, challenging why dual citizens and foreign-funded lawmakers get a pass while America-first voices are silenced. Other topics include Trump's executive order extending TikTok's deadline, Jerome Powell's refusal to cut rates, rising global tensions over Iran and Israel, and a surprising amount of praise for Trump's new “magnificent” flagpole. As always, Herold delivers a blend of sharp insight and offbeat humor while reminding listeners that much of what's unfolding is theater, with real consequences.

Jon Herold returns with a pre-recorded but packed episode tackling the week's most explosive developments, from the exposed incompetence of political elites to the latest revelations of foreign interference in U.S. elections. He opens with Tucker Carlson's viral takedown of Senator Ted Cruz over Iran policy, using it to highlight how out-of-touch and unaccountable the GOP has become. Herold doesn't hold back, questioning the intelligence community's motives and calling out the war-hungry political class. He then zeroes in on an FBI whistleblower report detailing a CCP-backed scheme to use fake driver's licenses for fraudulent mail-in ballots in 2020, and how the intel agencies allegedly buried it. Linking it to Trump's executive order on TikTok, Herold draws potential connections between suppressed intel and strategic countermoves from the White House. Other highlights include Trump's crypto regulation wins, landmark SCOTUS rulings on trans care, geopolitical theater in Israel and Iran, and growing divisions within the America First movement. With humor, urgency, and sharp commentary, Herold paints a picture of a country at a crossroads, where discernment is no longer optional, and the truth is more uncomfortable than ever.

Jon Herold returns with a jam-packed episode dissecting the growing hysteria around Iran and Israel, Trump's true intentions, and the media's role in perpetuating narratives that don't add up. From Trump's ominous Truth Social posts and surprise G7 exit to his decades-long consistency on Iran, Jon analyzes what's real, what's kabuki, and what's part of a much larger psyop. He questions the plausibility of uranium enrichment claims and nuclear threat narratives, weaving in historical Trump-era diplomacy and recent J.D. Vance insights. The episode also covers breaking revelations from the FBI, as a newly surfaced intelligence report alleges China mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to aid in 2020 election interference. Jon highlights the broader implications, especially the FBI's alleged suppression of evidence, and connects it to ongoing exposés from Kash Patel and others. Rounding out the show: Trump's immigration enforcement flip-flop, a shakeup at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, zero trust in the Federal Reserve, and a classic Ilhan Omar meltdown. Jon doesn't just report, he dissects the storylines for the real agenda behind the chaos.

In this jam-packed episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold sits down with Congressman Kevin Kiley for a wide-ranging interview covering California's defiance of federal immigration policy, the legal battles surrounding sanctuary status, and the path forward for Trump's SAVE Act. Kiley offers sharp insight into election integrity challenges in California, the risks of dual citizenship in Congress, and how Trump is methodically deconstructing the DC swamp from within. After the interview, Herold pivots to major global and domestic headlines: Israel's escalating conflict with Iran and its potential ripple effects, Trump's peace-through-strength strategy, and regime narratives collapsing under the weight of coordinated lawfare and media failures. He also revisits the latest developments from the Lindell v. Coomer trial, featuring key updates reported by Ashe in America, and exposes potential deep-state false flag setups designed to manipulate public opinion. With sharp analysis, insider perspective, and no-nonsense breakdowns, this episode captures the battle for power and truth unfolding across every front.

As the situation threatens to spark a regional war, or worse, Ghost lays out how the attack may have been designed to provoke Iran into retaliating, drawing the U.S. into a broader conflict. The duo explore the strategic trap being set, the implications for Trump's foreign policy positioning, and the high-stakes choices facing global players like Putin, Xi, and MBS. Ghost explains how Russian ethnic ties to Israel, gas trade deals with Iran, and shifting Arab alliances could create an unexpected realignment, possibly with Putin stepping in as the peace broker. They also discuss Netanyahu's legal troubles, MAGA's anti-war litmus test, and the narrative contrast between what Trump tells Israeli media versus the American public. With potential regime change, strategic misinformation, and the end of the unipolar world on the table, this episode captures a pivotal moment in real time.

In this solo edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold delivers a rapid-fire breakdown of the day's biggest stories, from ICE raids in Los Angeles to rising inflation, executive overreach, and narrative warfare. He unpacks Trump's expanding use of Guantanamo Bay to detain illegal immigrants, sparking new speculation on the real reason behind its long-term expansion. Herold dives into the legal fight between Trump and Gavin Newsom, the constitutional implications of deploying troops on U.S. soil, and the role of media spin in shaping public perception. He also highlights censorship, foreign flags on American streets, and suspicious protest coordination across major cities. With sharp humor and relentless analysis, Herold connects the dots between cartel-linked raids, political theater, and the crumbling legitimacy of regime narratives.

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold welcomes special guest Rep. Rich McCormick to discuss the explosive situation in Los Angeles and the wider implications of Trump's National Guard deployment. McCormick gives a Marine's-eye view of the crisis, calling it a “violent invasion,” and defends Trump's aggressive response. The conversation shifts into deep waters as Herold presses McCormick on election integrity, the ballooning federal deficit, the “Big Beautiful Bill,” and taxpayer accountability, sparking an unfiltered moment on why Americans should keep paying taxes. They also dig into the federal government's expanding control over AI and McCormick's support for preempting state-level regulation. After the interview, Herold brings in a live trial update from Ashe in America on the Lindell v. Coomer case, covering testimony surrounding the PCAPs, potential deposition from Dennis Montgomery, and questions about the integrity of the cyber symposium.

On this pre-recorded edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold delivers a rapid-fire breakdown of the major developments shaking the political landscape. He kicks off with a deep dive into the latest executive orders from President Trump, highlighting moves toward post-quantum cryptography, drone leadership, airspace sovereignty, and the reawakening of supersonic flight innovation. Then, Herold turns to the weekend's chaos in Los Angeles, where Trump bypassed California Governor Gavin Newsom to federalize the National Guard and crush what Herold calls an “insurrection.” He exposes the media's double standards, mockingly compares current coverage to 2020's “mostly peaceful protests,” and calls out figures like Maxine Waters and Gavin Newsom for their flailing legal threats. From AI policy and immigration psyops to Greta Thunberg's Gaza stunt and surprise admissions from left-wing figures like Kathy Griffin, Herold connects the dots between narrative warfare, constitutional authority, and the populist counterstrike. With sharp humor and zero patience for establishment spin, this episode delivers a comprehensive and unapologetic analysis of America's accelerating political realignment.

June 9, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 22The financial world is undergoing a seismic shift that few everyday investors fully grasp. Private credit and private equity markets have exploded from virtually nothing to controlling trillions in assets and thousands of companies—all while operating largely outside traditional regulatory frameworks.We take you on a fascinating journey through Wall Street's innovation cycles, connecting today's private market boom to previous financial revolutions like junk bonds in the 1970s and mortgage-backed securities in the 1990s. Understanding these historical patterns reveals how regulatory changes, market conditions, and Wall Street creativity repeatedly transform investment landscapes—sometimes with dramatic consequences.The numbers are staggering: private equity now controls 11,500 companies (up from just 2,000 in 2000), private credit has ballooned to $1.7 trillion, and venture capital firms manage $1.2 trillion across more than 3,000 firms. Meanwhile, public markets remain comparatively sleepy, with only a handful of significant IPOs this year.Bank executives like JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon express mounting frustration that this massive shift occurred "without any forethought on the part of regulators," creating competitive disadvantages for traditional banks. As this capital migration continues from regulated to less-regulated spaces, investors must consider both opportunities and potential risks.For those navigating today's uncertain markets, we explore defensive stock strategies and highlight companies following the Berkshire Hathaway model of combining insurance operations with strategic investments—including Fairfax Financial Holdings, Markel Group, and Loews—that have delivered impressive long-term returns using variations of Warren Buffett's proven approach.Whether you're concerned about market volatility, curious about alternative investments, or simply trying to understand the forces reshaping finance, this deep dive into private markets provides essential context for making informed investment decisions in an increasingly complex landscape.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

In this fiery episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold unpacks the evolving feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” Herold breaks down the timeline, analyzes whether the public spat is real or kayfabe, and explores what's at stake, from EV subsidies to trillion-dollar deficits. With sharp commentary on government waste, elite hypocrisy, and media manipulation, Herold exposes the inner workings of power plays behind the headlines. Special guest Ashe joins live from the Mike Lindell defamation trial to deliver a bombshell update: despite previous claims that a key antifa-linked call was fabricated, an affidavit from a separate case confirms many details, throwing a wrench in the plaintiff's narrative and potentially flipping the case's trajectory. Herold also touches on deep state surveillance, federal election integrity violations, the future of Hollywood amid AI disruption, and the quiet takedown of DHS's “Quiet Skies” program. He rounds out the show with liberal meltdowns, highlights from Kash Patel's explosive Joe Rogan appearance, and speculation on what the conflict between Trump and Musk might really be masking.

In this June 5th episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold unpacks a slate of aggressive new moves by President Trump, including a proclamation targeting Harvard over its entanglements with the CCP and a separate travel ban restricting nationals from over a dozen high-risk countries. But the most explosive development comes in the form of a presidential memorandum calling for an investigation into who actually governed during Joe Biden's time in office, questioning the use of an auto-pen for executive actions and the legitimacy of his policy record. Jon explores the implications of this investigation, speculating on its potential to unravel judicial appointments, legislative decisions, and even Biden's constitutional legitimacy, all without having to directly expose 2020 election fraud. Additional segments cover Trump's new crypto ETF venture, disturbing allegations against TSA surveillance programs, and escalating rhetoric from Vladimir Putin amid sabotage in Russia. Rounding out the episode, Jon discusses the looming debt ceiling crisis, mixed signals from Elon Musk and Mike Johnson, and new controversies around immigration, speech, and digital censorship. As always, Herold blends sharp commentary with a touch of irreverence to reveal what's driving the headlines beneath the surface.

In this June 4th episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives deep into Trump's newly posted Truth Social update about a 75-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin. The call touched on escalating attacks in Ukraine and Iran's nuclear ambitions, with Trump notably declining to condemn Putin's threats of retaliation. Jon dissects the implications and offers pointed commentary on how these diplomatic signals may influence global events. The episode then shifts to the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill,” facing backlash over deficit projections and a little-known clause restricting states from regulating AI for the next 10 years. With voices from Musk, Stephen Miller, and even Marjorie Taylor Greene entering the fray, Jon walks through both the bill's MAGA-aligned reforms and the potential federal overreach buried within. Additional segments include an FTC antitrust probe into censorship cartels, updates from the Mike Lindell defamation trial (with Ashe reporting from the ground), and reflections on economic chaos, Bitcoin's mainstream arrival, and the optics war between Trump and the establishment. As always, Jon keeps it candid, irreverent, and razor-sharp.

In this jam-packed episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold returns with sharp analysis and plenty of side-eye for the headlines dominating the week. He breaks down Trump's proposed “One Big Beautiful Bill,” highlighting its sweeping budget cuts, border security measures, and efforts to defund woke nonsense, while questioning Congress's willingness to pass it. Jon also dives into the murky world of government secrecy, discussing explosive revelations that the FBI's case system has been used to hide key documents, raising serious questions about Mueller, Crossfire Hurricane, and Biden family corruption. Also in the spotlight: the Mike Lindell defamation trial, voter fraud investigations in multiple states, and the bizarre math behind the so-called “Doge Check” stimulus idea. International updates include Syrian and Saudi cooperation, Ukraine's bridge attack, and the U.S. quietly backing jihadist integration. With updates on digital censorship efforts by the UN, a shady ethics complaint against D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, and more media narrative spin, Jon serves up a fast-paced, no-nonsense breakdown of what matters, and what's just a distraction.

On this June 2nd episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold delivers a rapid-fire roundup of stories shaping the week, from Musk vs. Bessant over Doge and Soros jabs to the quiet corporate retreat from Pride Month campaigns. He unpacks the growing backlash against DEI programs, critiques media manipulation surrounding Ukraine and Trump's role as a peacemaker, and digs into Palantir's alarming centralization of citizen data. Jon also explores a major cover-up in East Palestine, where new FOIA docs expose early government knowledge of cancer risks. Other highlights include a historic visit from Saudi leadership to the West Bank, a Navy SEAL named to the Joint Chiefs, exercise outperforming drugs in cancer recovery, and Marco Rubio's call to confront global censorship. Jon balances heavy topics with lighthearted commentary and personal anecdotes, wrapping with a reminder to stay alert amid growing efforts to erode free speech through fear-driven narratives.

June 2, 2025  | Season 7 | Episode 21The global investment landscape may be approaching a pivotal shift after 15 years of US market dominance. While American markets have delivered exceptional returns, mounting evidence suggests international opportunities deserve renewed attention from investors seeking to optimize their portfolios.At the heart of this potential transition is a stark contrast in fiscal trajectories. Since 2000, the US debt-to-GDP ratio has skyrocketed from 33% to over 120% – a staggering 90 percentage point increase. This massive expansion of government debt likely fueled economic growth and market performance, essentially "borrowing from the future" to prime the economic pump. Meanwhile, countries like Germany, Canada, and numerous others have maintained more disciplined approaches, with many actually reducing their debt burdens over the same period.This divergence creates an intriguing investment thesis. Countries that have demonstrated fiscal restraint now have greater flexibility to increase infrastructure and defense spending, potentially creating more favorable investment conditions. Germany's trillion-dollar commitment to these sectors represents a significant departure from previous austerity, while other regions may benefit from shifting trade relationships amid US-China tensions. Early indicators support this view – while the S&P 500 has gained approximately 1.5% year-to-date, international indexes have surged about 14%.Beyond global allocation strategies, this episode explores practical considerations for retirement planning. Despite political uncertainty surrounding Social Security, mathematical analysis confirms that delaying benefits until age 70 provides superior returns compared to commercial alternatives. With a 9.6% higher payout rate than comparable annuity products, the financial advantage of waiting remains compelling for those who can afford to delay.Curious about how these global economic shifts might impact your portfolio? Consider whether your current asset allocation reflects these emerging opportunities and challenges. Have you reviewed your international exposure lately? The next decade of investing may look quite different from the last.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

In this May 30 edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold returns with a packed rundown of legal wins, narrative collapses, and institutional chaos. He opens with the Supreme Court's quiet but crucial move to uphold Trump-era border policy rollbacks, suspending Biden's CHNV parole program for over 500,000 immigrants, a major blow to open-border advocates.

He also breaks down a DIA espionage bust, DOJ entrapment tactics, and former General Keith Kellogg's narrative redemption arc in the evolving Russia-Ukraine saga. Ghost joins the show to weigh in on the re-raising of the American flag in Damascus, peace deal prospects in Israel-Gaza, and the curious history of the World Jewish Congress. Jon then dives into Mark Zuckerberg's Meta partnering with military contractor Anduril to create autonomous AI battlefield tech, fueling Armageddon concerns. Additional highlights include Marco Rubio's proposed purge of hundreds of bloated State Department offices, a federal court greenlighting Trump tariffs, and a meltdown montage featuring Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, and liberal TikTokers who just can't cope. From geopolitical realignment to petty political scandal, this episode delivers sharp commentary with Herold's signature edge.

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.

May 27, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 20Take a fascinating journey through market valuation that challenges conventional wisdom about wealth measurement. In this eye-opening episode, we explore how perceiving markets solely through dollar-denominated prices creates an illusion of stability, when deeper analysis reveals a more complex reality.The real story emerges when we examine the Dow-to-gold ratio across a century of market history. From its peak of 18 during the 1929 market bubble to 41 during the dot-com frenzy to approximately 12 today, this perspective shows how relative wealth can dramatically shift despite seemingly stable nominal values. While the S&P 500 appears nearly flat year-to-date in dollar terms, a foreign investor would experience an 8.6% loss due to dollar weakness—a sobering reminder that currency matters.We analyze healthcare stocks showing promising technical indicators after five years of significant underperformance, potentially setting up a 21% rebound based on historical patterns. We also examine IBM's surprising premium valuation compared to its historical discount and Google's existential challenge as younger users increasingly "ChatGPT it" rather than "Google it."Looking toward future market leaders, we highlight companies with explosive growth potential: Aurora Innovation revolutionizing autonomous trucking, BYD dominating the Chinese EV market with breakthrough battery technology, and Tempus AI connecting with over 50% of US oncologists through its genomic sequencing business.The bond market reveals perhaps the most profound shift, as Treasury yields now incorporate default risk—evident as credit default swap spreads approach levels comparable to Greece. Combined with diminishing Japanese investor interest and the relatively small size of the high-yield market compared to Treasury issuance, these dynamics create both challenges and opportunities.Understanding relative valuation isn't just academic—it's essential for navigating today's complex investment landscape. Join us as we provide the perspective you need to see beyond nominal figures and grasp what's truly happening to your wealth.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

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.

How can CEOs prevent political strife and foster a cohesive work environment? Cameron Herold, widely known as the CEO Whisperer, highlights the critical importance of the COO role through his establishment of the COO Alliance, a global network empowering second-in-commands across numerous countries. Drawing from his experience in scaling companies like 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Cameron articulates how COOs are pivotal in steering organizational growth and operational excellence. He advocates for the strategic insight and decision-making autonomy that COOs must possess, emphasizing the need for clear distinctions between C-level roles and other managerial positions to ensure fair compensation and effective leadership. As an author and speaker, Herold stresses the COOs' essential role in transforming visionary ideas into sustainable success, a perspective that underscores the value of strategic leadership in navigating the complexities of organizational growth. Key Takeaways The COO role requires strategic insight, P&L responsibility, and the ability to manage functional areas of the business. Distinguishing between the COO and other operational roles like VP of Operations is crucial to emphasize participation in the strategic process. Core values play a critical role in shaping organizational culture, and CEOs need to embody these values to create a cohesive work environment. Investing in leadership development and continuous training for managers is essential for sustainable growth of organizations. Addressing underperforming employees is crucial to maintaining a strong organizational culture and encouraging accountability among team members. CEOs need to be aware of natural transitions a company goes through to effectively scale up employees and maintain growth.   More from Cameron Herold Cameron Herold is a lifelong entrepreneur who was raised to think differently. Growing up in a small town in Northern Canada, Cameron struggled in traditional school due to severe ADD, but his father—an entrepreneur himself—recognized his potential and taught him to reject the idea of a job in favor of building businesses that create opportunity for others. By 18, Cameron had launched 14 small ventures, and by 20, he was running a house-painting franchise with a dozen employees. His twenties and early thirties were spent scaling companies and coaching more than 120 entrepreneurs, including Kimbal Musk, Elon Musk's brother. But his breakout role came when he joined 1-800-GOT-JUNK? as COO, where over six years, he helped grow the company from $2 million to $106 million in revenue, expanding it to four countries and 330 cities—all while cultivating a world-class culture. Today, Cameron is the founder of the COO Alliance, the first-ever peer network dedicated to second-in-command leaders. Inspired by his own experiences in the trenches of hypergrowth and his belief that every visionary CEO needs a powerful operational partner, Cameron created the Alliance to equip COOs with the tools, community, and mentorship they often lack. Known for his hands-on leadership, sharp operational mind, and deep passion for entrepreneurship, Cameron continues to help companies scale and thrive—just as his father once helped him do.   Website: https://cameronherold.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronherold/   If you are an experienced CEO looking to grow your company, visit https://www.TheCEOProject.com   You can also reach Jim by email: Jim@TheCEOProject.com   LinkedIn: @theceoproject Instagram: @the_ceoproject Twitter/X: @the_CEO_Project Facebook:  @IncCEOproject

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.

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.

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.

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.
