The Daily Herold: 12/10/25 – Burnout, Byrne, and the Psyops Hiding in Plain Sight

Jon Herold opens the show reflecting on a news cycle that feels strangely empty, until he dives into the only story that actually matters: Patrick Byrne’s explosive admission that he has been CIA all along. Jon walks through Byrne’s conflicting claims, shifting narratives, and the bombshell implications for election-integrity efforts, the Russia hoax, Tina Peters, and ongoing RICO investigations. Joined mid-show by Ashe in America, he unpacks her detailed thread questioning Byrne’s credibility, his funding of key election-related operations, and whether his involvement helped shape prosecutions, psyops, or legislative outcomes. They revisit Byrne’s past stories about Maria Butina, Brennan, Comey, and his 2020 pressure campaign on Trump, examining how his newly admitted CIA role reframes everything, from Mesa County to Mike Lindell’s PCAPs to today’s Venezuela narratives. Jon closes with sharp commentary on psychological warfare, controlled narratives, and why no one in the movement, himself included, should be above scrutiny, reminding viewers that discernment, not blind trust, is the only way to stay unruggable.
