The Daily Herold – 11/26/2025: Turkey Pardons, Fake Indictments & the Venezuela Narrative Shift

Jon Herold hosts a loose, funny, and surprisingly packed pre-Thanksgiving episode as he checks in with Badlanders before heading to his family gathering. After joking about lunch, fasting, and hosting Thanksgiving for the first time, Jon reviews Trump’s Thanksgiving proclamations, the hilarious turkey-pardon clip, and the sudden dismissal of the long-running Georgia RICO case, highlighting how no prosecutor wanted to touch Fani Willis’ mess. He reacts to updates on DOGE, Trump’s New York Times rant, and the “ToPublican” branding joke before diving back into Emerald Robinson’s Venezuela thread, questioning its logic, missing evidence, and convenient narrative turns. Jon debates whistleblower timelines, catamarans, storm drama, and Trump supposedly being uninformed about election fraud, pushing back on the story’s framing while engaging live chat humor about sharks, boats, the ocean, and hot tubs. He then covers the Witkoff–Ushakov peace-call transcript, Lindsey Halligan’s appointment issue, Democrats facing FBI review for their “illegal orders” video, Comer’s doubts about the Epstein report, and the political fallout surrounding election legitimacy. Jon closes by previewing Power Hour and wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving.
