The Daily Herold: September 24, 2025 – Free Speech, Paper Tigers, and UN Games

Jon Herold dives into a busy Wednesday show, starting with YouTube’s half-hearted admission of censorship and why celebrating their limited reinstatements is nothing more than gaslighting. He then unpacks Trump’s dramatic pivot on Ukraine, calling Russia a “paper tiger” while hinting at deeper game theory behind the rhetoric—sparking even a bizarre Kremlin response claiming Russia is a “real bear.” From Trump’s jabs at NATO and the UN to speculation about leaving both altogether, the episode digs into the global stage, defense stocks, and the new F47 fighter jet.

Jon also covers Jimmy Kimmel’s emotional apology over Charlie Kirk, the Dallas ICE facility shooting with “anti-ICE” bullets, Secret Service failures at the UN, and a major FOIA release of Detroit’s 2020 election records. With sharp commentary on shutdown standoffs, antitrust corruption, and home sales data, Herold ties the day’s headlines into the bigger battle over truth, control, and sovereignty.
