The Daily Herold: October 21, 2025 – Trump’s Ballroom, Brennan’s Lies & the Half-Measure Chronicles

Jon Herold keeps The Daily Herold rolling with a mix of sharp wit, news breakdowns, and classic Badlands banter. He opens with sponsor shoutouts and listener jokes before diving into Trump’s latest headlines, an extravagant new White House ballroom, a rare earth deal with Australia, and a fiery True Social post threatening to “close up” Colombia’s drug fields. Jon dissects Trump’s fluctuating praise and criticism of the FBI, new developments in Gaza, and the “three-quarter measures” approach of the Justice Department’s latest moves. From Comey’s bid to dismiss his case to John Brennan’s perjury referral, Jon challenges whether half measures will ever be enough to deliver full accountability. Along the way, he builds a hilarious “Political Foreplay” list of Trump-era promises still waiting for results and riffs on everything from pumpkin patch prices to Amazon’s AI layoffs. Candid, chaotic, and packed with political sarcasm, this episode proves why The Daily Herold is where real talk and ridiculousness collide.
