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.
 

Breaking History Ep. 128 – The New National Security Strategy, Middle East Realignments & Europe in Denial

Matt Ehret and Ghost take a fast-moving tour through Trump’s newly released National Security Strategy, a document Ghost argues formally ends decades of neocon adventurism by rejecting regime change, overseas meddling, and global policing in favor of regional balance and American hemispheric security. From there, they dive into major geopolitical shifts: Turkey and Hungary teaming up to guarantee Russian gas flow, Saudi Arabia and Iran reaffirming the Beijing Agreement, Qatar and Saudi Arabia launching a joint high-speed rail project, and Turkey signaling readiness to deploy peacekeeping forces in Gaza. The hosts contrast these realignments with Europe’s escalating panic, highlighting Estonian PM Kaja Kallas’s historical revisionism and EU outrage over the strategy’s sovereignty-first posture. They also track Ukraine’s unraveling corruption, NATO procurement scandals involving Israeli defense firms, and rumors of Zelensky’s impending exit. Packed with maps, history, sharp humor, and pattern recognition, this episode reveals a world rapidly reorganizing itself as the old order loses coherence.
 

Badlands Daily: 12/10/25 – Border Revolt, Deepfake Panic & the Biden DOJ’s Reality Crisis

CannCon and Ashe in America dive into a packed Monday news cycle, starting with the Biden administration’s sudden push to blame “AI deepfakes” for upcoming election interference, a narrative both hosts argue is preemptive damage control for collapsing public trust. They break down the Supreme Court’s newest filings, Biden’s border humiliation as red states openly defy DHS, and the administration’s bizarre insistence on forcing EV mandates even as automakers rebel. CannCon and Ashe also cover the media’s panicked framing of Trump’s rising poll numbers, internal Democrat fractures over immigration, and the strange legal positioning around the J6 pipe-bomber case. With sharp analysis, receipts, and plenty of sarcasm, they lay out how narrative engineering, lawfare, and institutional decay are converging as 2025 barrels forward.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid break down one of the most explosive episodes yet as they analyze General Flynn’s latest statements, the escalating geopolitical tension in the Caribbean, and the deep infiltration shaping America’s internal power struggle. They dig into Patrick Byrne’s claims about blackmail and intelligence corruption, Supreme Court cases that could unravel the administrative state, and how Cuban, Venezuelan, and CCP networks have influenced U.S. policy for decades. With rising threats near U.S. waters, shifting military posture, and growing talk of unrestricted warfare, the hosts connect Flynn’s warning to the broader information battlefield—arguing that the fight unfolding now spans cyber operations, foreign influence, and covert actors embedded in government itself. Fast-paced, high-signal, and unapologetically direct, this episode lays out why the stakes have never been higher.
 

Badlands Story Hour Ep 146: Casino Royale

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dissect Casino Royale through a geopolitical and psychological lens, exploring Daniel Craig’s debut as a darker, more monstrous Bond shaped by post-9/11 culture and modern intelligence narratives. They break down how the film subverts classic Bond tropes, reframes espionage as a world run by competing intel assets, and uses the relationship between Bond, Vesper, and Le Chiffre to expose themes of trauma, manipulation, and institutional control. From the era shift of 2006 to the rise of cinematic propaganda, the hosts examine Bond’s sociopathic tendencies, the film’s commentary on terror financing, and its portrayal of Western intelligence as both architect and arbiter of global chaos, all while weaving in character analysis, cultural critique, and sharp humor.

CannCon and Ashe in America open Book 4 of Badlands Book Club with Smedley Butler’s explosive anti-war classic War is a Racket, breaking down Butler’s life, military career, and how a twice-decorated Marine Corps general became one of America’s fiercest critics of war profiteering.

Ashe and CannCon compare Butler’s era to today’s military-industrial landscape, discuss the psychological and physical toll on veterans, and examine how propaganda, politics, and financial interests continue to shape public support for conflict. It’s a sharp, eye-opening start to a book that proves shockingly relevant nearly a century later.
