The Daily Herold: Feb. 20, 2025 - Kash Patel’s Confirmation, Mitch McConnell Retires & Trump Wants to Check Fort Knox

Jon Herold breaks down a packed day of political fireworks, starting with Kash Patel’s expected confirmation as FBI Director...which has Democrats in full meltdown mode. While they’re busy predicting doom, a handful of sad protestors are outside proving just how little real opposition remains.

Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell is finally retiring, but not until 2026. Will he make it that long? The turtle clock is ticking. And in a move straight out of a political thriller, Trump just announced he’s sending people to Fort Knox to check if the gold is actually there. Is this just trolling, or does he know something we don’t?

Also in this episode: Doge investigators are uncovering billions in government waste, Stacey Abrams gets caught up in a shady $2 billion grant, and Chuck Schumer is officially under investigation for threats against government workers. Plus, Ukraine bans Truth Social—because that’s totally normal behavior from a “democracy.”
