DNC DOA | 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: • Kamala Harris “wrote off rural America” during the 2024 presidential campaign and failed to attack Trump with sufficient “negative firepower,” according to a post-election autopsy finally released by the Democratic National Committee. Chairman Ken Martin’s handling of the document and the direction of the party’s political machine has angered Democrats. Gaza doesn’t rate a mention. Will there be major reforms at the DNC? • Iran and Oman are in talks over a Strait of Hormuz Ship Payment System. The discussions suggest that the US and the Iran may not be close to reaching a deal to end a war that has badly damaged the global economy. • House Republicans abruptly canceled a vote on a War Powers resolution directing Trump to withdraw US forces from Iran or win approval to continue the war, after it became clear they lacked the votes to defeat the measure. It’s a striking setback that exposes fractures within the GOP over the conflict at a moment when the party has begun pushing back forcefully on Trump and his agenda.

Trump Immunized, Castro Indicted | 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: • President Donald Trump’s settlement with the IRS was updated to include a provision that stops the government from prosecuting him and his family and end audits, a way to get around restrictions on him pardoning himself. Meanwhile, Trump’s U.S. prosecutors charges former Cuban President Raúl Castro with murder and conspiracy. • Israel’s security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, waved an Israeli flag and taunted rows of detained international activists — participants in an aid flotilla meant to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza — were brutalized by IDF thugs on an Israeli-government video posted to social media. The peaceful protesters were arrayed face down, hands zip-tied, as the Israeli national anthem, Hatikvah, played loudly. The violent incident, filmed at Israel’s Port of Ashdod, drew international condemnation. • House Democrats are one step closer to finally getting a successful Iran War Powers Act vote as their last holdout plans to flip and at least one Republican says they may follow suit.

The Trumpire Strikes Back | 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 flexed his strength in primary elections, continuing the process of eliminating political enemies within the GOP. At the same time, his low ratings and the war have raised red flags among base voters who supported his “America First” agenda. The biggest win for the White House is defeating Rep. Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican who opposed Trump on key issues, including on the “big, beautiful bill” and on pushing for the release of files related to Epstein. Massie lost to Ed Gallrein, who got 54%. • Senate Majority Leader John Thune — and most of the GOP conference — is reeling from Trump's snap endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas GOP Senate runoff on May 26th. • Trump sounds increasingly unhinged: “I thought the market would go down 25 percent, and I was OK with that to get rid of a nuclear potential holocaust. Would have been a nuclear holocaust. So, going down 25 percent’s OK when you get rid of a nuclear holocaust, so, uh, most people agree with me…Everyone tells me [the war] is unpopular, but I think it’s very popular. When they hear that it’s having to do with nuclear weapons, weapons that could take out Los Angeles, could take out major cities, very quick, when they hear that—I tell you what, when we explain it to people, I don’t really have enough time to explain to people. I’m too busy getting it done,” Trump said. “I think it’s frankly very popular, but whether it’s popular or not popular, I have to do it, because I’m not going to let the world be blown up on my watch. Not gonna happen.” 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]

San Diego Massacre | 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: • Two teenage attackers fatally shot three men at a mosque in San Diego, California, in a suspected hate crime, before taking their own lives. Police were already on the hunt for the two when the attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego began, and they found three victims with gunshot wounds outside the front of the building. Officers found the suspects - aged 17 and 18 - dead of self-inflicted wounds in a vehicle blocks away from the mosque. • Iran has made a new proposal for a deal to end the war, with Donald Trump claiming he had postponed new military strikes so talks could continue. But there has been no sign of a breakthrough in the stalled negotiations. • Brian Morrissey, the top lawyer at the Treasury Department, quit in the wake of the creation of a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” that could soon make payments to Trump’s political allies. • Chinese leader Xi Jinping is set to host his “old friend” Vladimir Putin less than a week after Donald Trump's high-profile visit, as Beijing seeks to project itself as a stable and predictable power in a world shaken by trade tensions, wars and an energy crisis.
