Trump Declares WAR on Big Pharma, No More Global Handouts! | The Mandate | 5/12/25

BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson provide insight into President Trump’s bold stance against Big Pharma, working to lower exorbitant drug prices that force Americans to foot the bill for the rest of the world. Did Trump just walk India and Pakistan back from the brink of nuclear war? Boeing has failed to meet President Trump’s request for a new Air Force One, and now Qatar is stepping in with an offer to provide the U.S. with a jumbo jet. Are they sincere in their gesture or attempting to meddle in American politics? Liz Wheeler joins “The Mandate” to discuss Gavin Newsom’s attempt to rebrand himself ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run and Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s jealousy about his likely nomination. Liz is optimistic about figures like RFK Jr.’s surgeon general pick, Casey Means, praising her break from medical orthodoxy and alignment with the grassroots MAHA movement. Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford dives into the issue with Big Pharma, revealing that the real problem isn't just the pharmaceutical companies themselves but the lawyers and lobbyists working behind the scenes to block generics, driving up prices and profiting at the expense of American consumers. Finally, the lefties lose it over Trump accepting refugees from South Africa because it doesn’t reflect their DEI beliefs.
