The Daily Herold: November 19, 2025 - Epstein Theater, MBS Optics & the Psyop Wars
Description
Jon Herold unpacks a chaotic news cycle with equal parts analysis, frustration, and humor as he dives into the latest Epstein bill drama, Trump’s remarks, congressional backroom deals, and why the media is spinning the vote as a humiliation. He questions whether the trillion-dollar Saudi commitments have produced any real-world investment yet, breaks down Trump’s messaging on the MBS meeting, and highlights the White House’s carefully crafted optics. Jon dissects Clay Higgins’ lone “no” vote, MTG’s claims about Plaskett’s Epstein-era texts, and the bipartisan maneuvering that kept multiple censure resolutions off the table. He explores the psyop landscape, bots, infiltrators, influencers, suppression, and attempts to fracture Trump’s base under the guise of “America First.” Jon also confronts the Comey indictment meltdown as DOJ attorneys admit the grand jury never saw the operative indictment, raising the possibility of dismissal on a procedural failure. With side tangents on scissoring, shrooms, Badlanders meetups, Twitter chaos, dental trauma, and the Gong Show energy of modern politics, Jon delivers a dense, irreverent, and revealing walk through Clown World’s latest chapter.
