The Daily Herold: May 14, 2025 – Drug Price Showdowns, Deep State Staffing, and Trump’s Global Victory Lap

In this refreshingly candid episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold blends humor with hard-hitting analysis as he covers a range of stories from the absurd to the geopolitically significant. Leading the charge is Trump’s announcement of a $1.2 trillion economic agreement with Qatar, along with historic arms and aircraft deals, made even more bizarre by the backdrop of Qatar gifting Trump a replacement Air Force One.

Domestically, Jon dives into Trump’s executive order to cut drug prices and the surprising twist that a Democrat, Rep. Ro Khanna, is introducing legislation to codify it, while Republicans drag their feet. He slams Congress for being run by lobbyist-compromised staffers, not elected officials, and calls the legislative process little more than a PR stunt.

Other highlights include a judge upholding Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport violent gang members, James O’Keefe’s bizarre Epstein kitchen footage, and Rubio’s planned restructuring of the National Security Council to better match Trump’s top-down style. Jon also revisits the reinstatement of Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, celebrates Trump’s camel-flanked parade, and skewers the performative politics dominating D.C.

Light on guests but loaded with insight, it’s a classic solo Herold hour, snarky, sharp, and unmistakably Badlands.
