    Attn Gulf States: Pay to Iran $300 Billion | 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 EST. Today we discuss: • Iran could have access to up to $300 billion in reconstruction funds if it adheres to a peace agreement it recently struck with the U.S. It will be funded by the Gulf Coast Coalition, and is designed ​to trigger postwar investment into Iran. • The G7 pledged to “accelerate humanitarian and reconstruction efforts” and implement “relevant political and security measures” in Gaza, and “for ending violence in the West Bank.” the G7 leaders said. In their most recent terrorist attack, Israeli colonists vandalized a mosque and set it ablaze in the Palestinian village of Jaljilya. Pictures show the damage inside the building with Hebrew graffiti on the walls. • Americans who recently received proof of Canadian citizenship are being asked to surrender their certificates, sparking confusion and disappointment. The letters were sent to an unknown number of people who obtained citizenship via an ancestral tie to Canada under a “Lost Canadians” law enacted in December.

    Hochul to Protesters: Rot in Hell! | 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 EST. Today we discuss: • If you can protest in New York, New York, you can protest anywhere! The liberal state’s corporatist governor creates buffer zones that restricts demonstrations around houses of worship. Last year, she banned protesters who wear masks. And now, activists who recently staged sit-ins at the state Capitol are hit with misdemeanor charges — higher than the traditional disorderly conduct tickets. • Gavin Newsom says he and his wife are under investigation by Trump’s Justice Department. The California Governor says federal agents want to speak to his family, friends and former employees, demand records and are digging through years of documents. He accuses the Justice Department of "abusing the grand jury process." • The 2026 Iran War peace agreement is due to be signed Friday in Geneva. But Iran's foreign minister said Israeli forces remaining in southern Lebanon, or any Israeli strikes on the country, would constitute a violation of the U.S.-Iran deal—while Israeli officials say their invasion troops would stay in Lebanon, as "Trump's agreement does not bind us." Netanyahu: “We have our own interests.” MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.live https://x.com/tedrall https://x.com/JamarlThomas LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu APPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-ted-rall-and-jamarl-thomas/id1825379504

    U.S. Surrenders to Iran | 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 EST. Today we discuss: • Trump gets the 80th birthday present he wanted most: a ceasefire deal with Iran that will result in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The “peace agreement,” however, merely restores the state of affairs before he and Israel started the war four months ago, with zero gains, much less “regime change” or “unconditional surrender.” Iran, on the other hand, wins bigly. It gets $24 billion, keeps its nuclear program, and forces Israel to stop attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon. • Netanyahu, facing a national election this fall, has every incentive to continue bombing, as Israelis across the political spectrum called the deal a disaster. If he does, however, he risks a major rupture in the U.S.-Israeli relationship. • Trump is demanding Congress attach his SAVE America Act passport-to-vote bill to legislation renewing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, used to spy on Americans. • Mitch ⁠McConnell, a US senator ⁠from Kentucky, is admitted ​to ‌the ‌hospital ‌on Sunday morning, ‌a ​spokesperson ⁠said ​in ​a statement. The 84-year-old has frozen up and become unresponsive during several press engagements in recent years. • Britain will ban children under 16 from using a range of social media apps including Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube to protect young people from harmful content and excessive screen time, Prime Minister Keir Starmer says, joining Australia, Canada, Brazil and Indonesia.

    Plan 39 From Outer Space | 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 EST. Today we discuss: • Is Donald Trump living in his personal fantasy world? For the 39th time in two months, he announces that a peace agreement is at hand in his and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran, only to have Iran deny his market-manipulating claims. Iran, he says, would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and disavow nuclear weapons—i.e., a return to the status quo ante bellum. • U.S. Park Police, the D.C. fire department and members of the National Guard respond to large-scale etchings of the numerals “86 47” on the ‌grounds of the National ‌Mall. A spokesperson for the U.S. Interior Department described the markings as “deranged vandalism” and promised to “hold those responsible accountable.” Multiple emergency vehicles could be seen encircling the grass. A team of officers stood over brown patches in the grass, wearing gloves, and collected samples for testing from the grass with materials from a yellow case. Pedestrians were not permitted to walk on the grass, and a Park Service helicopter circled overhead. • An man facing death by nitrogen gas is spared as the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to set aside a lower-court ruling that found the method is unconstitutionally cruel, issuing a brief order that came well after the hour Alabama originally planned to initiate Jeffery Lee’s execution, which violated the jury’s verdict.

    Anti-Zionism Criminalized | 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: • The Trump administration’s policy of criminalizing criticism of Israel escalates dramatically as 8 people affiliated with the University of Michigan are charged with conspiring to threaten campus leaders and others into severing ties with Israel. An indictment unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, accused pro-Palestinian activists of crossing the line from campus protest to crimes that included threats and vandalism. The defendants face varying charges, but the indictment included federal counts of conspiracy to transmit threats, witness intimidation and destruction of property to prevent seizure. • Rioters set houses, vehicles and a city bus ablaze in Belfast, torching neighborhoods after a video of a knife attack by a Sudanese asylum seeker went viral, igniting the latest anti-immigration violence to convulse the UK. Men in balaclavas and hoods shouted “foreigners out.” The riots spread from Belfast to towns across Northern Ireland and reached into Scotland and England by nightfall. • The Canadian government introduces a new digital safety proposal that would require users to verify that they are at least 16 to access websites like Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. A new regulator called the Digital Safety Commission of Canada would administer the proposed measures. • U.S. airstrikes destroyed a drinking-water facility on Iran’s southern coast, near the Strait of Hormuz. Water was cut off to more than 20,000 people living in a town and villages nearby, where temperatures are above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure can constitute a war crime under international law. • “Hopes were fading”: Unless lawmakers act by midnight Friday, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, will sunset. Democrats are angry, not at domestic spying, but that Trump named Bill Pulte, housing official without any national security experience, as acting director of national intelligence.
