The Daily Herold: 12/9/25 – NDAA Chaos, Trump’s PT Barnum Moment & the Psyop of the News Cycle

Jon Herold unpacks a packed news day, starting with wild weather, upcoming Kansas meetups, and two competing NDAA drafts stuffed with strange provisions, from penetration-testing requirements for voting machines to Congress attempting to strong-arm the Pentagon. He covers new Trump interview clips, including Trump calling Zelensky “PT Barnum,” discussing Europe’s decline, hinting at election-fraud exposure in the coming months, and declaring Maduro’s “days are numbered.” Jon reflects on the public’s complicity in propaganda, the morality of psyops, and why emotional detachment is essential in today’s media environment. He chases a few squirrels into Venezuela, CIA rumors, Qatar’s intelligence agreements, and DC’s police chief resigning before returning to the Maxwell/Epstein file release and an emerging criminal probe into Arctic Frost. The show closes with Jon’s take on the Tim Pool–Candace Owens meltdown, the illusion of political accountability, and a call to stay unruggable while navigating the chaos.
