Jon Herold returns with another sharp and entertaining episode of The Daily Herold, tackling everything from government shutdowns to global economic warfare. He dives into Trump’s new trade strategy with China, the ongoing rare-earth conflict, and how “de-risking” might be the quiet move reshaping world power. Between math lessons on government spending, reflections on the Doge program, and debates about Charlie Kirk’s legacy, Jon balances hard news with humor and humanity. From Supreme Court arguments on voting rights to Pentagon press restrictions and China’s economic provocations, this episode proves there’s no such thing as a slow news day in 2025.
