He dives into Japan’s first female prime minister, Trump’s new $3 billion farmer aid package amid the government shutdown, and the FBI’s massive mafia-linked gambling probe that’s shaking the NBA. Along the way, Jon reacts to Candace Owens’ claims about Charlie Kirk, debates Thomas Massie’s political motives, and even considers the Coast Guard’s true place in government, with plenty of offbeat tangents and laughs.

They start by exposing The Wall Street Journal’s false claim about U.S. sanctions on Ukraine before diving into Trump’s controversial decision to import Argentinian beef, revealing the layers of global trade, ranching corruption, and mRNA concerns the media won’t touch. The conversation then shifts to Portland’s homelessness crisis, where profit-driven NGOs and radical ideologies keep people trapped on the streets. With powerful insights from activist Kevin Dahlgren, the hosts explore mental health reform, psych evaluations for high-responsibility jobs, the moral collapse of modern institutions, and the urgent need to rebuild America’s spiritual and civic foundation.

The Daily Herold: October 22, 2025 – Government Shutdowns, Nazi Tattoos & the Blowtorch Kid

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

From there, they break down President Trump’s unprecedented $230 million claim against the DOJ for wrongful investigations, framing it as another major step in the broader justice narrative. Ashe brings in insight on Tulsi Gabbard’s Weaponization Working Group and the growing accountability movement, while CannCon dissects the arrest of a State Department advisor accused of hoarding classified documents. The pair also tackle DHS’s new $10 billion self-deportation initiative, migrant gang threats, and Argentina’s $20 billion stabilization deal, complete with a deep dive into the American beef industry. Wrapping up with Virginia’s “ballot hole” controversy, Trump’s Putin summit rumors, and a dose of Badlands humor, this episode captures the perfect blend of wit, news, and no-nonsense commentary.

Reading from William Howard Taft’s Our Chief Magistrate, JB breaks down how executive power has been eroded and why Trump’s actions mark a constitutional correction, not chaos. He closes with his prediction that Obama’s downfall may come through conspiracy charges, not RICO, and argues that the black community is already waking up to the betrayal of the Obama years. Blending humor, intellect, and Southern grit, JB delivers one of his most engaging and unapologetic episodes yet, part talk show, part history lesson, and all Badlands.
