Jon Herold kicks off The Daily Herold with his trademark humor and insight, recounting an 18-inning baseball marathon before diving into the day’s political chaos. He covers the ongoing government shutdown, the SNAP funding fight, and Trump’s Asia tour—including his high-energy arrival at a U.S. Navy base and new critical minerals deal with Japan. Jon breaks down the House Oversight Committee’s explosive report on Biden’s “autopen presidency,” exposing how aides allegedly used a signature machine to execute executive actions, some involving pardons, without Biden’s approval. From there, he analyzes Trump’s legal appeal in New York, Putin’s new strategic alliance with Venezuela, and the controversy around FBI Director Kash Patel’s use of a government jet. As always, Jon mixes sharp commentary, live chat banter, and comedy gold while keeping the Badlands community up to speed on the stories that matter most.
