The Daily Herold: July 23, 2025 – Declassified Bombshells, Clinton Emails, and the Tina Peters Showdown

Jon Herold kicks off this episode of The Daily Herold with a full breakdown of Tina Peters’ habeas corpus hearing, joined by Ashe in America who was on the ground in court. Ashe details the judge’s reaction to the arguments, the procedural tightrope Peters’ team must walk, and why the First Amendment may be her best hope for release as the state continues to pursue what they see as political punishment.
The rest of the show is a deep dive into a newly declassified oversight report authored by Derek Harvey, kept hidden by the CIA for years. Herold uncovers shocking revelations: that Clinton’s campaign approved a plan to falsely tie Trump to Russian hackers, that Russian intelligence held damaging info on Clinton’s health and state of mind, and that U.S. intelligence repeatedly withheld or altered findings to favor a specific narrative. He connects the dots from Brennan to Comey, CrowdStrike to Ukraine, and lays out how the fabricated ICA judgments laid the groundwork for Crossfire Hurricane and the Mueller probe. This is one of Herold’s most explosive episodes yet, revealing a web of deceit at the core of the Russia hoax.

Badlands Story Hour Ep 126: the Northman

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into The Northman, exploring its grim aesthetic, Norse mythology, and literary roots in the legend of Amleth, the same myth that inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet. They dissect the movie’s portrayal of fate, trauma, and identity, examining how the protagonist becomes a tragic vessel for vengeance after being spiritually and emotionally programmed by his father’s deathbed ritual. With nods to MK Ultra, paganism, and berserker myth, the hosts question whether Amleth ever had free will or was doomed from childhood. They contrast the film’s brutal worldview with Tolkien’s mythic optimism and explore the cultural shift from rooted moral frameworks to modern-day spiritual voids.
The discussion expands to themes of slavery, regime control, and historical parallels, culminating in a sharp critique of pagan ritualism in both ancient and modern forms. This is one of the darkest and most complex entries in the Story Hour series, unflinching in its dissection of narrative, power, and spiritual warfare.

Badlands Book Club Ep. 18: Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch & Janie Nitze – Chapter 7

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, Ashe in America and CannCon tackle Chapter 7 of Overruled, where Gorsuch and Nitze dissect the blurred lines between Congress, the executive branch, and the ever-expanding regulatory state. Ashe breaks down how Congress has increasingly outsourced lawmaking to unelected bureaucrats, creating an alphabet soup of agencies that operate outside traditional checks and balances. CannCon raises the question of accountability, especially as courts defer to agency interpretations in the absence of clear laws.
They explore how political cowardice and convenience have allowed regulatory bodies to become the de facto lawmakers of the land, with little regard for voter input or constitutional limits. With personal anecdotes, sharp legal observations, and timely parallels to current political dynamics, Ashe and CannCon spotlight how the separation of powers has eroded, and what it will take to rein it back in.

Other highlights include a look at OpenAI’s massive $500B Stargate expansion, Fed Chairman Powell’s job security, and the rising frustration with inflation, interest rates, and political theater.
