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.
