The Daily Herold: October 16, 2025 – Putin’s Call, Pentagon Leaks & the Fall Heard ’Round the World

Jon Herold kicks off The Daily Herold with tech troubles, laughs, and a little finger-pointing before diving into a packed news day. Trump’s latest executive orders tighten federal hiring and military pay policies while the Pentagon puts the media on notice over classified leaks, sparking Jon’s fiery breakdown of what it means for mainstream journalism. He unpacks Trump’s phone call with Putin, new moves toward peace in Ukraine, and possible trade talks on the horizon, hinting that major geopolitical shifts may already be underway. Between headlines, Jon delivers his signature mix of sharp analysis and humor, most notably a hilariously heated debate with the live chat about whether Mitch McConnell’s infamous “fall” was real or staged. From Comey’s leaks to Bolton’s possible indictment and Trump’s CIA admissions, this episode blends serious revelations with classic Badlands banter.
