The Daily Herold: April 21, 2025 – SCOTUS Showdown, Vatican Vacancies, and Trump’s Economic Takedown

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.
