The Daily Herold: June 4, 2025 – Trump’s Call with Putin, Big Beautiful Bill Fallout & the AI Power Grab
Manage episode 486874197 series 3427094
In this June 4th episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives deep into Trump’s newly posted Truth Social update about a 75-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin. The call touched on escalating attacks in Ukraine and Iran’s nuclear ambitions, with Trump notably declining to condemn Putin’s threats of retaliation. Jon dissects the implications and offers pointed commentary on how these diplomatic signals may influence global events.
The episode then shifts to the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill,” facing backlash over deficit projections and a little-known clause restricting states from regulating AI for the next 10 years. With voices from Musk, Stephen Miller, and even Marjorie Taylor Greene entering the fray, Jon walks through both the bill’s MAGA-aligned reforms and the potential federal overreach buried within.
Additional segments include an FTC antitrust probe into censorship cartels, updates from the Mike Lindell defamation trial (with Ashe reporting from the ground), and reflections on economic chaos, Bitcoin’s mainstream arrival, and the optics war between Trump and the establishment. As always, Jon keeps it candid, irreverent, and razor-sharp.
