    Trump Targets Leakers Who Revealed Depleted Iran War Munitions | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

    Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET. Today we discuss: • When there’s a problem, what do you do—fix it? Or blame the person who points it out? Trump threatens to hunt down “leakers” after news reports detailed a depletion of munitions stockpiles. The military has burned through nearly all of its offensive Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMSs) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSMs), and there are low levels of Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors has caused greater concern. Replenishments of pre-war stockpiles will take years. • What’s going on at the Interior Department? Normally boring and staid, since Doug Burgum took over last year, there has been confusion and concern that the agency is poorly run, has devolved into secrecy and has lost thousands of the staff needed to manage the national park systems and millions of acres of public lands. These complaints come as Burgum entered into bureaucratic infighting with Washington’s top prosecutor, Jeanine Pirro, over how Interior handled accusations of vandalism in connection with criminal charges centered on renovations to the Reflecting Pool. Pirro, according to The New York Times, laced into Burgum and alleged Interior misrepresented how the pool’s lining was damaged. • Russia could attack a NATO country within weeks to test the alliance’s resolve, US intelligence warns. US officials believe Russia might attempt to escalate tensions by mounting a small land incursion or launching cyberattacks across eastern Europe anytime from this autumn to 2029, the Wall Street Journal reports.

    Trump Nearly Killed in Near Miss | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

    Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET. Today we discuss: • We almost got a new president! The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating why an American Airlines jet came dangerously close to a helicopter carrying President Donald Trump—an incident taking place as the presidential helicopter approached the same airport where an Army helicopter collided with a regional jet over the Potomac River in 2025. • The CIA has covertly established a Cuba task force for the first time since 1960. The task force has begun adding case officers who recruit and manage spies, intelligence analysts, officers who conduct cyberoperations and officers who specialize in covert influence operations, the people said. It aims to create fissures among the Cuban political elite, in hope of pressuring the Cubans to replace perceived anti-American hard-liners with more practical leaders more amenable toTrump. • The Clintonite group Third Way will spend at least $15 million in a “war” against left-leaning voters to drive them out of the Democratic Party. Third Way plans to target the Democratic Socialists of America movement, which they call a “mortal danger” for Democrats. The war will include opposition research into DSA, polling, social media programs and propagandizing Democratic activists and leaders. It would target both proud democratic socialists and those such as Abdul El-Sayed—and try to defeat them.

    Progressive Abdul El-Sayed Wins in Michigan | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

    Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET. Today we discuss: • In a stunning development, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed wins a fiercely competitive Michigan Democratic Senate primary race in a big victory for the Left, and a humiliating defeat for AIPAC, which spent about $60 million—which turned off voters, most of whom oppose Israel. Bitter corporatist Haley Stevens refuses to concede. • Iran and Oman progress toward a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a potential breakthrough that could help wind down the war in the Middle East. Ships would enter the Persian Gulf through an Iranian-controlled route and exit through a route controlled by Oman, with service fees charged for providing security and preserving the maritime environment. Any deal is linked to lifting the U.S. blockade on Iran’s ports. Any agreement formalizing Iran’s control of the strait would mark a significant strategic victory for Tehran. • Europe Climate Crisis: The drought is so severe that it is jeopardizing countries’ economic growth and forcing them to take extreme measures like blowing up riverbeds. Gripped by a summer of weather extremes, Romania recently shut down its sole working nuclear reactor cooled by the Danube for the first time, deploying naval forces to carry out underwater detonations to improve water flow. The drought has impacted two of Europe's major river routes — the Danube and the Rhine; both rivers are popular cruise routes, so the drought has disrupted travel for passengers. Some tourists have been bussed to other ships farther down the river. Farmers facing restrictions on irrigating their crops are warning of smaller fruit harvests and rising prices this season. Dutch dikes are leaking. LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow https://x.com/tedrall https://x.com/JamarlThomas #tedrall #jamarlthomas #news #politics

    Hamas Agrees to Disarm, Trump Claims | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

    Editorial cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM Eastern time. Today we discuss: • Trump’s announcement of a Gaza deal, in which Hamas disarms and hands over its weapons to a Board of Peace first, raises unanswered questions. Neither Hamas nor Israel has issued an official statement acknowledging the deal, makes one wonder if this is real, or Trump dissembling? • Hackers attack more than 30 community water systems across Minnesota, forcing some utilities to switch to manual operations. Investigators are blaming Iran. • Colin Gray, whose son killed four people at a Georgia high school in 2024 with a gun Gray bought him, gets sentenced to 15 years in prison. The elder Gray had given his son an AR-15-style rifle and left it in the boy’s bedroom even though the teenager had psychological problems and an obsession with school shootings. • 49,000 migrants cross into Spain's North African colony of Ceuta from Morocco in 24 hours via land and sea. 18 have died. Spain's Supreme Court ruled this month that migrants stopped at sea while trying to reach Ceuta or Melilla, another Spanish exclave, cannot be summarily returned to Morocco.
