Trump’s Fireworks Will Cause Air Pollution Hazard, Secret Parks Documents Show | 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: • Fireworks for this year’s July Fourth celebration are expected to cause hazardous levels of pollution around the National Mall and “very unhealthy” conditions in central D.C., according to internal National Park Service documents. The show, billed by the Trump administration as the largest pyrotechnic display in history, will include 850,000 fireworks in a roughly 40-minute show expected to start at 10:30 p.m. or 11 p.m. Combustion from large fireworks displays generates fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5. These small particles can penetrate deep into the heart and lungs, causing irritation and in some cases asthma attacks and other illnesses. • Russia launches a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine, targeting Kyiv and other regions across the country. Russia’s Defense Ministry said that it carried out a “massive strike using long-range precision air, land, and sea-based weapons and attack drones.” Moscow said the strikes targeted military-industrial facilities, fuel and energy complexes in Ukraine’s capital and the Kyiv region, as well as military airfields in the Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Cherkasy and Chernihiv regions. • Ohio cities have canceled activities, opened cooling centers and made public transit more accessible as the blistering heat wave crawling across the eastern US appeared to be especially intense midweek over an area that stretched from Cincinnati to Cleveland. On Wednesday afternoon, it was 103 in Athens, 102 in Toledo and 113 just north of Columbus.

Trump Reports Over $1B in Crypto Income | 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: • President Trump reaped a stunning windfall in 2025, including $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses. In total, he raked in at least $2.2 billion. That compares to a minimum of $622 million for all of 2024. One of his biggest hauls was when an investment firm tied to the UAE bought nearly half of the Trump family’s main crypto company, World Liberty Financial, blurring the line between foreign policy and private enterprise. He also collected hundreds of millions of dollars from sales of his $TRUMP memecoin and World Liberty’s sale of its own digital tokens. • In another stunning victory for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist, clobbers Representative Diana DeGette, a 15-term incumbent and Zionist, in the Denver area. Also, highly-connected Colorado Senator Mike Bennet becomes the first sitting Senator in 15 years to be primaried out. • The US Supreme Court votes 5-4 against Trump, preserving birthright citizenship—barely.

Iran to US: We’re in Control | 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: • The war is not quite over: After the U.S. and Iran exchange airstrikes and Bahrain and Kuwait take hits, Iran insists it is “in control” of the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides now say they will “stand now for now” as peace talks continue. • 50,000 Venezuelans are missing after a pair of earthquakes. What responsibility does the United States bear for the death and destruction, following decades of sanctions? • As France and other Western European countries bake under the worst hear wave in history, more than 1,000 people are dying from the heat every day. Funeral homes are overwhelmed. Most are elderly.

Post Office Politics | 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: • The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will refuse to mail election ballots in states that refuse to turn over its confidential absentee voter list to the federal government with their confidential absentee voter lists. If the USPS is being politicized—will it refuse to send mail from Democrats? • A cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz comes under drone attack by Iran's near the Oman coast. Oman said any system it creates with Iran to manage maritime traffic will not involve fees, but Iran was less definitive, saying it would work with Oman "to define future administration and maritime services in Strait of Hormuz." • The Future of War Is Here: South Korea expands its drone and counter-drone capabilities to counter North Korea, including by training 500,000 “drone warriors” and distributing tens of thousands of unmanned systems across frontline units. “Drones should no longer be equipment used by a limited number of units, but a universal combat tool,” Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back says, adding they should be used like a “second personal weapon.” MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.live [https://www.deprogram.live] https://x.com/tedrall [https://x.com/tedrall] https://x.com/JamarlThomas [https://x.com/JamarlThomas] LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow [https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow] SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu [https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu] APPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-ted-rall-and-jamarl-thomas/id1825379504 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-ted-rall-and-jamarl-thomas/id1825379504]
