The Daily Herold: September 12, 2025 – Shooter Arrested, Cancel Culture, and Trump’s Next Moves

Jon Herold breaks down the latest developments in the Charlie Kirk assassination, including the arrest of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson after his own family turned him in. While the FBI takes credit, Jon points out that open-source information and family courage, not federal investigation, led to the capture. He questions inconsistencies in the timeline, missing evidence, and whether Robinson is a patsy. Beyond the case, Jon reflects on the wave of cancel culture targeting those who celebrated Kirk’s death, wrestling with the moral and strategic dilemmas of fighting speech with firings. Trump’s Good Morning America interview adds weight to the discussion, as he recalls Kirk’s influence on youth, warns about Putin and Poland, hints at RICO cases against George Soros, and announces the National Guard’s deployment to Memphis after success in D.C. With added updates on Brazil’s conviction of Bolsonaro, Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros., and the stalled pace of declassifications, Jon closes the week with sharp analysis, candid reflection, and a call for resilience in the face of psyops.
