The Daily Herold: June 17, 2025 – Iran, Nukes, and the Fiction of Foreign Threats

Badlands Media

Jon Herold returns with a jam-packed episode dissecting the growing hysteria around Iran and Israel, Trump’s true intentions, and the media’s role in perpetuating narratives that don’t add up. From Trump’s ominous Truth Social posts and surprise G7 exit to his decades-long consistency on Iran, Jon analyzes what’s real, what’s kabuki, and what’s part of a much larger psyop. He questions the plausibility of uranium enrichment claims and nuclear threat narratives, weaving in historical Trump-era diplomacy and recent J.D. Vance insights.

The episode also covers breaking revelations from the FBI, as a newly surfaced intelligence report alleges China mass-produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses to aid in 2020 election interference. Jon highlights the broader implications, especially the FBI’s alleged suppression of evidence, and connects it to ongoing exposés from Kash Patel and others.

Rounding out the show: Trump’s immigration enforcement flip-flop, a shakeup at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, zero trust in the Federal Reserve, and a classic Ilhan Omar meltdown. Jon doesn’t just report, he dissects the storylines for the real agenda behind the chaos.
