The Daily Herold: May 28, 2025 – Auto-Pen Power Plays, DeSantis' Gold Gambit, and the Battle Over DOGE Cuts
Manage episode 485479170 series 3427094
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.
