      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss the US/Israeli War Against Iran:&#xA;&#xA;• The U.S. bombing of the Iranian elementary school that killed 165 people, many of them schoolgirls, included more targets near the school than has been initially reported. Satellite images suggest that the school was hit as part of an airstrike on a neighboring military complex — and that it may have been struck as a result of outdated targeting information. Satellite images show that the school and clinic buildings were both once part of the base. The school was separated from the base by a wall between 2013 and 2016. The clinic was walled off between 2022 and 2024. Did the U.S. ignore signs of scores of girls going to class?&#xA;&#xA;• Did the U.S. commit a war crime by torpedoing an uninvolved Iranian frigate, IRIS Dena, returning from a diplomatic visit to India, in the Indian Ocean, and failing to rescue its crew—something Nazi U-boat commanders did during World War II until the Laconia incident?&#xA;&#xA;• Europe is transferring assets from Ukraine to the Mideast as rising oil prices benefit Russia’s economy. Are the U.S. and Israel indirectly defeating Ukraine?&#xA;&#xA;• Likely 2028 presidential contender Gavin Newsom, criticized Israel, suggesting that the U.S. should reconsider its military support for the country, which he compared to an apartheid state.&#xA;&#xA;Also: &#xA;&#xA;•  The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed attorney general Pam Bondi, to testify about the Epstein files. The 24 to 19 vote was a rebuke to the Trump administration.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.live&#xA;&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;APPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall/id1825379504</description>

      <title>Iran’s Plan: Outwit, Outplay, Outlast | DeProgram with Ted Rall and John Kiriakou</title>
      <link>https://youtube.com/watch?v=lSX5xFPy53c</link>
      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss the US/Israeli War Against Iran:&#xA;&#xA;• Iran&#39;s overriding goal is regime survival amid overwhelming military superiority from the United States and Israel. Rather than seeking outright victory, Tehran aims to impose high costs on President Trump—through American casualties, surging global energy prices, inflation, and economic disruption—to pressure him into declaring victory and withdrawing. Iran pursues asymmetric endurance by expanding the battlefield regionally: targeting oil/gas infrastructure in Gulf neighbors, attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz (disrupting ~20% of world oil/gas flows), limiting air traffic, and depleting expensive missile interceptors with cheap drones. &#xA;&#xA;• If war is good for business, what’s going on? The New York Times reported that Iranian operatives have sued for peace to the CIA. U.S. stock index futures edged higher after a major sell-off, but $75/barrel oil fuels worries about global inflation. Financial expert Aquiles Larrea joins us to discuss the economic impact of the war. &#xA;&#xA;•  The son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei, is the front-runner to rule Iran.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Also: &#xA;&#xA;• Texas Two-Time?

      <itunes:subtitle>Iran’s Plan: Outwit, Outplay, Outlast | DeProgram with Ted Rall and John Kiriakou</itunes:subtitle>
      <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. 

Today we discuss the US/Israeli War Against Iran:

• Iran's overriding goal is regime survival amid overwhelming military superiority from the United States and Israel. Rather than seeking outright victory, Tehran aims to impose high costs on President Trump—through American casualties, surging global energy prices, inflation, and economic disruption—to pressure him into declaring victory and withdrawing. Iran pursues asymmetric endurance by expanding the battlefield regionally: targeting oil/gas infrastructure in Gulf neighbors, attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz (disrupting ~20% of world oil/gas flows), limiting air traffic, and depleting expensive missile interceptors with cheap drones. 

• If war is good for business, what’s going on? The New York Times reported that Iranian operatives have sued for peace to the CIA. U.S. stock index futures edged higher after a major sell-off, but $75/barrel oil fuels worries about global inflation. Financial expert Aquiles Larrea joins us to discuss the economic impact of the war. 

•  The son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei, is the front-runner to rule Iran.


Also: 

• Texas Two-Time? Aggressive Democrat Jasmine Crockett is claiming election cheating—credibly—as her huge 56-44 polling lead evaporated overnight into a 53-46 loss to moderate James Talarico. Why? The Supreme Court against her campaign's request to give voters from Dallas County an extension to sort out confusion about Republican-led changes to polling locations.

Three American service members were killed and five seriously wounded by Iran at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. Flights across the Middle East came to a standstill after Iran struck at least four airports, including Dubai. Bahrain sustained minimal damage from a drone. Airports in both Kuwait and the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, Irbil, were also hit. Iran hit Zayed Port in Abu Dhabi, where the French navy has a base. Two drones struck a port in Duqm, a port town in Oman. An Iranian bomb struck a shelter in Beit Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, killing at least nine people. Residential towers in Bahrain were also hit. Kuwait accidentally shot down three F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets—$100 million each—down late last night. Six crew members ejected.&#xA;&#xA;• The war expanded into Lebanon after Hezbollah claimed a rocket and drone attack on Israel. Israel struck the group’s HQ in Beirut and targeted weapons storage facilities. PM Keir Starmer is reversing his decision to bar the U.S. from using U.K. bases. The war has only sped up the deterioration of the trans-Atlantic relationship.&#xA;&#xA;• Trump is publicly warning Americans to gird for a sustained, costly war.“Sadly, there will likely be more [U.S. deaths] before it ends,” the president said. “America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against, basically, civilization.”&#xA;&#xA;• Oil futures surged. Brent crude, the international benchmark, spiked 6.2% to trade at $77 a barrel, having briefly surpassed $82 earlier in the trading session. Meanwhile, stock futures fell. Futures for the S&amp;P 500, the Nasdaq and the Dow were all down more than 1%. But Exxon and Chevron shares rose pre-market. Defense stocks, like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, were also up strongly.&#xA;&#xA;Also:&#xA;&#xA;• Pakistan bombed Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss the US/Israeli War Against Iran:&#xA;&#xA;• Once again, the U.S. has decapitated the leadership of a country without a reasonable plan to fill the power vacuum it created. Trump tells Iranians to “take over your government,” but there’s no organized opposition. “The plan,” a German official worries aloud, “is to have no plan.” &#xA;&#xA;• Escalation: Israel, the U.S. and Iran are poised to hit more targets with more powerful weapons. At least 787 Iranians and 6 Americans have died.&#xA;&#xA;• Iran threatens to blow up ships attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran, a major oil-exporting nation, watches oil prices soar. Gas prices are already rising. Today will be a rough day on Wall Street. Financial expert Aquiles Larrea joins us to discuss the economic impact of the war.&#xA;&#xA; • Marco Rubio explains the “imminent threat” behind the war: Israel, he says, was going to attack. Iran would have retaliated against US bases. Why didn’t he tell Israel not to attack, or notify Iran of the danger from Israel?&#xA;&#xA;Also: &#xA;&#xA;• In Texas John Cornyn, a four-term incumbent, is facing off against the state’s attorney general, scandal-plagued MAGA darling Ken Paxton.&#xA;Democrats are facing a choice between Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who plays to the party’s base, and state representative James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian preaching a blend of Christianity and liberal values.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;TO ASK A QUESTION FOR TED AND/OR JOHN BEFORE TODAY’S SHOW AIRS LIVE: https://ahaslides.com/4UJWT&#xA;&#xA;MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.live&#xA;&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;APPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall/id1825379504</description>

      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss the US/Israeli War Against Iran:&#xA;&#xA;• Iran was more prepared for war than the Trump administration anticipated, U.S. officials admit. Three American service members were killed and five seriously wounded by Iran at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. Flights across the Middle East came to a standstill after Iran struck at least four airports, including Dubai. Bahrain sustained minimal damage from a drone. Airports in both Kuwait and the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, Irbil, were also hit. Iran hit Zayed Port in Abu Dhabi, where the French navy has a base. Two drones struck a port in Duqm, a port town in Oman. An Iranian bomb struck a shelter in Beit Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, killing at least nine people. Residential towers in Bahrain were also hit. Kuwait accidentally shot down three F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets—$100 million each—down late last night. Six crew members ejected.&#xA;&#xA;• The war expanded into Lebanon after Hezbollah claimed a rocket and drone attack on Israel. Israel struck the group’s HQ in Beirut and targeted weapons storage facilities. PM Keir Starmer is reversing his decision to bar the U.S. from using U.K. bases. The war has only sped up the deterioration of the trans-Atlantic relationship.&#xA;&#xA;• Trump is publicly warning Americans to gird for a sustained, costly war.“Sadly, there will likely be more [U.S. deaths] before it ends,” the president said. “America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against, basically, civilization.”&#xA;&#xA;• Oil futures surged. Brent crude, the international benchmark, spiked 6.2% to trade at $77 a barrel, having briefly surpassed $82 earlier in the trading session. Meanwhile, stock futures fell. Futures for the S&amp;P 500, the Nasdaq and the Dow were all down more than 1%. But Exxon and Chevron shares rose pre-market. Defense stocks, like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, were also up strongly.&#xA;&#xA;Also: &#xA;&#xA;• Pakistan bombed Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The Taliban is firing at Pakistani fighter jets over Kabul.&#xA;&#xA;• A man who fatally shot two people and wounded 14 others at a popular bar on Austin’s Sixth Street, 53-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, wore a hoodie that read “Property of Allah” over a T-shirt bearing an Iranian flag.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;TO ASK A QUESTION FOR TED AND/OR JOHN BEFORE TODAY’S SHOW AIRS LIVE: https://ahaslides.com/3XL8G&#xA;&#xA;MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.live&#xA;&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;APPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall/id1825379504</description>

Another Columbia student was illegally abducted from campus housing by agents, with no warrant, who used fake NYPD badges and a forged NYPD missing persons poster to lie their way past university security. Reuters reports that ICE is hiring career criminals and members of violent street gangs as they lower standards and skip vetting procedures, as the top federal judge in Minnesota threatened to jail ICE officers who routinely defy court orders. A nearly blind refugee from ethnic violence in Myanmar, a father of two, died after Border Patrol goons dumped him at a Buffalo doughnut shop and he tried to walk home five miles in arctic weather, after BCE confiscated the cane he needed to walk. &#xA;&#xA;• “Open War Between Us”: Pakistan bombed Kabul and Kandahar and assaulted Taliban border posts.&#xA;&#xA; • Anthropic, which created Claude AI, will not allow the Pentagon to use it for fully autonomous armed drones or AI-assisted mass surveillance that could track dissent. Pete Hegseth is giving Anthropic until 5 pm today to cave in, or he’ll take it for free under the Defense Production Act.&#xA;&#xA; • For the third year in a row, Israel is the top killer of journalists who have managed not to get laid off.&#xA;&#xA; • Texas airspace was closed after the DoD used a high-energy laser to shoot down a HomeSec drone near El Paso.&#xA;&#xA; • The Washington Post reports that activists with close ties to the White House are urging Trump to declare a national emergency to justify to placing midterm elections under his control, with mail-in voting canceled and ICE “protecting” polling stations.&#xA;&#xA;TO ASK A QUESTION FOR TED AND/OR JOHN BEFORE TODAY’S SHOW AIRS LIVE: https://ahaslides.com/T1S4E&#xA;&#xA;MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.live&#xA;&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;APPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall/id1825379504</description>

      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss:&#xA;&#xA;• Filet of Pigs: Four US-based Cuban nationals who entered Cuban waters on a US-registered speedboat have been shot dead by border patrol after the speedboat&#39;s armed passengers opened fire on a coast guard vessel. Six additional passengers were wounded. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied the infiltration was a US covert operation. James Uthmeier, Florida&#39;s attorney general, said he would direct local law enforcement to investigate the incident. &#34;The Cuban government cannot be trusted, and we will do everything in our power to hold these communists accountable,&#34; he said. &#xA;&#xA;• #EpsteinToo: Forced out of Harvard, Lawrence Summers became the latest public figure to be impacted but their implication in the Epstein Files. Others include Paul Weiss chair Brad Karp, longevity expert Peter Attia of CBS News, former Obama counsel Kathy Ruemmler, mind behavior scientist Richard Axel of Columbia, ex-Prince Andrew, UK ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson, as well as Slovak and Norwegian officials. Who’s next? Hillary testifies today at the House, Bill tomorrow.&#xA;&#xA; • Senate in Play: With just days until Texas’ primary, Republicans are alarmed that their increasingly vicious intraparty contest could cost them a must-win Senate seat. Sen. John Cornyn appears to be headed to an expensive and nasty 10-week runoff against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, with a strong chance that Paxton wins the nomination even after national Republicans spent months airing his filthy laundry all over the Texas airwaves in an effort to boost Cornyn. If Cornyn loses the primary, Senate Republicans could be forced to spend hundreds of millions of dollars that could otherwise go toward key battleground races in expensive states like North Carolina, Georgia or Michigan, complicating their path toward holding Senate control.</description>

      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss:&#xA;&#xA;• Filet of Pigs: Four US-based Cuban nationals who entered Cuban waters on a US-registered speedboat have been shot dead by border patrol after the speedboat&#39;s armed passengers opened fire on a coast guard vessel. Six additional passengers were wounded. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied the infiltration was a US covert operation. James Uthmeier, Florida&#39;s attorney general, said he would direct local law enforcement to investigate the incident. &#34;The Cuban government cannot be trusted, and we will do everything in our power to hold these communists accountable,&#34; he said. &#xA;&#xA;• #EpsteinToo: Forced out of Harvard, Lawrence Summers became the latest public figure to be impacted but their implication in the Epstein Files. Others include Paul Weiss chair Brad Karp, longevity expert Peter Attia of CBS News, former Obama counsel Kathy Ruemmler, mind behavior scientist Richard Axel of Columbia, ex-Prince Andrew, UK ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson, as well as Slovak and Norwegian officials. Who’s next? Hillary testifies today at the House, Bill tomorrow.&#xA;&#xA; • Senate in Play: With just days until Texas’ primary, Republicans are alarmed that their increasingly vicious intraparty contest could cost them a must-win Senate seat. Sen. John Cornyn appears to be headed to an expensive and nasty 10-week runoff against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, with a strong chance that Paxton wins the nomination even after national Republicans spent months airing his filthy laundry all over the Texas airwaves in an effort to boost Cornyn. If Cornyn loses the primary, Senate Republicans could be forced to spend hundreds of millions of dollars that could otherwise go toward key battleground races in expensive states like North Carolina, Georgia or Michigan, complicating their path toward holding Senate control.</description>

The US has two destroyers in the Mediterranean, one in the Red Sea, four in the Persian Gulf, and an aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, accompanied by four destroyers, in the Arabian Sea. Another carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, arrived in the Mediterranean Sea on Friday, accompanied by warships. CJCS Gen. Dan Caine worries about high casualties and stockpiles depletion.&#xA;&#xA;• Is Afghanistan becoming a safe haven for Islamist terrorists?  Pakistan carried out airstrikes against seven camps belonging to the Pakistani Taliban – also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), as well as ISIS-K. &#xA;&#xA; • U.S. ambassador to France Charles Kushner has been banned from meeting members of the French ‌government after ghosting the Foreign Affairs ministry earlier, where he had been summoned over his comments on the killing of ​Quentin Deranque.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;JOIN US LIVE ON RUMBLE!&#xA;https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;&#xA;FOLLOW TED:&#xA;https://rall.com/&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;&#xA;FOLLOW JOHN:&#xA;https://www.instagram.com/realjohnkiriakou&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LISTEN ON SPOTIFY:&#xA;https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;&#xA;LISTEN ON APPLE MUSIC:&#xA;https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall</description>

      <link>https://youtube.com/watch?v=LxJ9ADBh0bE</link>
      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss:&#xA;&#xA; • Mike Huckabee, U.S. ambassador to Israel, prompted condemnation from Arab leaders after he suggested approval for a Greater Israel stretching across the Middle East from Egypt to Iraq. Asked if Israel had the right to the lands from Egypt to the Euphrates River he replied, “It would be fine if they took it all. But…they don’t want to take it over, they’re not asking to take it over,” he added. What if Israel were to ask?&#xA;&#xA; • U.S. stock futures fell after Trump said he’s raising his global tariffs to 10%, and then 15%, following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the president’s “reciprocal” tariffs. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 250 points, or 0.5%. Gold prices jumped.&#xA;&#xA; • It’s the fourth anniversary of the Russo-Ukrainian War.&#xA;&#xA; • France summons the US ambassador to express harsh displeasure at a State Department statement about Quentin Deranque. Foreign affairs minister Jean-Noel Barrot said: “We reject any instrumentalization of this tragedy, which has plunged a French family into mourning, for political ends. We have no lessons to learn, particularly on the issue of violence, from the international reactionary movement.”&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;JOIN US LIVE ON RUMBLE!&#xA;https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;&#xA;FOLLOW TED:&#xA;https://rall.com/&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;&#xA;FOLLOW JOHN:&#xA;https://www.instagram.com/realjohnkiriakou&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LISTEN ON SPOTIFY:&#xA;https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;&#xA;LISTEN ON APPLE MUSIC:&#xA;https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall</description>

Four journalists, including reps of the New York Times, AP and the BBC, investigating a secret Trump plot to deport migrants to Cameroon—none of them Cameroonian, all of them under strict protection by US court orders not to deport them—were arrested and roughed up in Yaoundé. The AP reporter was beaten up by the police, who also confiscated their phones, cameras and laptops.&#xA;&#xA; •  Trump announced a $10 billion U.S. contribution to rebuilding Gaza at the inaugural meeting of his Board of Peace, describing the organization as the premier world body for international peace and harmony. What of the UN? Where will the money come from?&#xA;&#xA; • Backed by the IDF, Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank shot and killed a Palestinian American man, 19, during an attack on the village of Mukhmas.&#xA;&#xA; • Rarely has the U.S. prepared to conduct a major act of war with so little explanation or public debate as Trump prepares to attack Iran again.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.live&#xA;&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;APPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall/id1825379504</description>

Parents who traveled from across the country for the trial brought by a girl who said bullying and addiction turned her suicidal, saying their kids were hurt or died because of social media.

ICE also intends to buy 10 detention facilities where they already operate. Cost will be about $38 billion, which will be drawn from the billions of dollars Congress for ICE approved last summer.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified at trial about whether his company designed Instagram to be addictive. Parents who traveled from across the country for the trial brought by a girl who said bullying and addiction turned her suicidal, saying their kids were hurt or died because of social media. The outcome in the “Kaley” trial could put Big Tech on the hook for billions in damages and forced to make changes to platforms that have shaped how we live.&#xA;&#xA; •  Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the perv formerly known as Prince Andrew, is arrested at his home in Great Britain.&#xA;&#xA; • Trump plans to turn eight warehouses into “large-scale detention centers” and 16 facilities into processing sites, according to ICE, with at least 100,000 beds. ICE also intends to buy 10 detention facilities where they already operate. Cost will be about $38 billion, which will be drawn from the billions of dollars Congress for ICE approved last summer. But community opponents include pro-deportation Trump voters.&#xA;&#xA; • Bernie wants a Billionaire Tax in California. Gavin does not. &#xA;&#xA; •  Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was found guilty of leading an insurrection and sentenced to life in prison for his brief imposition of martial law in 2024.&#xA;&#xA; •  The beating death of Quentin Deranque in Lyon has quickly become a flashpoint between the far right and far left as France prepares for local elections next month and presidential elections next year.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.live&#xA;&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;APPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall/id1825379504</description>

      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss:&#xA;&#xA; •  The “alternative homeland” – the notion that Jordan should become the Palestinian state – is rocking the Hashemite Kingdom, following Israeli measures to register swaths of the occupied West Bank as sovereign Israeli soil. Mamdouh al-Abbadi, Jordan’s former deputy prime minister, says: The fear in Amman is not just about military invasion, but about making life in the West Bank impossible to force ethnic cleansing into Jordan.&#xA;&#xA; •  Senate Republicans are under increasing pressure from the hard right to do whatever is necessary to break through a filibuster and ram through the Save America Act on a simple majority vote over Democratic opposition. &#xA;&#xA; • Last year, between 200,000 and more than 1 million immigrants in the United States stopped working, according to analyses of Census Bureau data. But as immigrants left, unemployment for native-born Americans jumped to 4.7% in January from 4.1% a year before. That not only exceeds the overall unemployment rate of 4.3%, but also the 4.6% rate for foreign-born workers. Removing people from the country led to fewer workers and fewer people to buy the goods and services those workers produced, argues Stan Veuger, senior fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. Plus: tariffs and AI are having a depressing effect, and low-wage employers are refusing to pay more.</description>

      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss:&#xA;&#xA; •  France has its own Charlie Kirk. The centrist Macron administration blames the &#34;ultra-left&#34; LFI party and the Jeune Garde of Jean-Luc Melenchon for the fatal beating of 23-year-old Quentin Deranque, a right-wing extremist, in Lyon—a notorious hotbed of right-wing violence. Macron calls for patience and calm. Will France listen?&#xA;&#xA; •  Local police, sometimes seen as a bulwark against ICE goon squads on city streets, are signing deals to cooperate with and deport immigrants for the aggressive agency. There were 135 such deals a year ago; now there are 1,168.&#xA;&#xA; • Persian Gulf Showdown: As US-Iran/Israel talks stall and another carrier heads to the Gulf, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards drill in Strait of Hormuz.&#xA;&#xA; •  BlanketGate: Corey Lewandowski, an unpaid special government employee who acts as chief of staff for and lover to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, fired a Coast Guard pilot for leaving Noem’s blanket on a plane — but was forced to rehire them upon realizing there was nobody else to fly the party home. Lewandowski has overseen a reign of terror over DHS.&#xA;&#xA; • Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who made history as a third-party presidential candidate, dies at 84. Robert Duvall, the actor, passes at 95.</description>

      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss:&#xA; •  In the worst-case climate scenarios from unchecked greenhouse gas emissions (high-emission pathways like SSP5-8.5), global temperatures could rise 4–5°C or more by 2100 or beyond. This unleashes catastrophic threats: widespread ecosystem collapse, including near-total loss of coral reefs and Amazon dieback into savanna; irreversible multi-meter sea-level rise from melting ice sheets, flooding coastal cities and displacing hundreds of millions; intensified extreme weather—deadly heatwaves, mega-droughts, super-storms, and wildfires—causing mass crop failures, famine risks, and water wars. President Trump announces he is erasing the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment, ending the federal government’s legal authority to control the pollution that is dangerously heating the planet. The action is a key step in removing limits on carbon dioxide, methane and four other greenhouse gases that scientists say are supercharging heat waves, droughts, wildfires and other extreme weather. &#xA; •  There’s no deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security — so a partial government shutdown starts today. Who will make you take off your shoes at the airport?&#xA; • The Bangladesh Nationalist Party has claimed victory in the country’s first election since the 2024 uprising. The BNP is headed by 60-year-old Tarique Rahman, who returned to Bangladesh in December after 17 years in self-exile in London. He is the son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, who died in December.&#xA; • South Korea&#39;s spy agency says Kim Jong Un&#39;s teenage daughter, Kim Ju&#xA;Ae, is close to being designated as North Korea&#39;s future leader.&#xA; • Gallup will stop tracking presidential approval ratings after 88 years.

      <title>ICE Gone Wild in El Paso | DeProgram with Ted Rall and John Kiriakou</title>
      <link>https://youtube.com/watch?v=cn032JAAylk</link>
      <description>Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. &#xA;&#xA;Today we discuss:&#xA; •  In a bizarre episode of epic incompetence and lack of coordination, the Trump Administration shut down El Paso’s airspace—originally for 10 days—over a party balloon. First, it turns out the Defense Dept. lent a high-powered anti-drone system to the Border Patrol. Who turned it on without permission. To shoot down a “Mexican cartel drone.” Which didn’t exist. Fearing passenger jets would tumble out of the sky, a panicked FAA—who never got a call from the Border folks playing with their borrowed toy—ordered a shutdown. Organ transplant recipients may die as a result. Then the Trump Administration reflexively spun tall tales to cover it up. We’ll try to peel away the many layers of insanity here.&#xA; •  Asked about the Epstein Files under oath, AG Pam Bondi helpfully points out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is a record high.&#xA; • As Trump dispatches a second carrier battle group to the Persian Gulf, he tells Netanyahu he prefers to negotiate with Iran, rather than bomb it—for now.&#xA; • House Republicans advance the SAVE America Act, which would pass Americans’ voter information to the Dept. of Homeland Security, require proof of citizenship to vote and require special paperwork for people who have changed their names, like women and trans people.&#xA; • Russians are being evacuated from Cuba.&#xA;&#xA;Introduction 0:00-0:01:53&#xA;Russia-Cuba Relations and Oil Crisis 01:53&#xA;Pam Bondi’s Congressional Appearance and Epstein Files 06:58&#xA;Analysis of the Save America Act 12:06&#xA;Chat Q&amp;A 0:17:59-0:32:29&#xA;Ad Read:  0:32:30-0:33:31&#xA;Chat Q&amp;A 0:33:32-0:34:31&#xA;El Paso Airspace/Drone Incident 34:32&#xA;Chat Q&amp;A 0:42:51-0:53:30&#xA;Lincoln and Civil War History Debate 53:31&#xA;Chat Q&amp;A 0:55:51-1:00:00&#xA;&#xA;JOIN US LIVE ON RUMBLE!&#xA;https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow&#xA;&#xA;FOLLOW TED:&#xA;https://rall.com/&#xA;https://x.com/tedrall&#xA;&#xA;FOLLOW JOHN:&#xA;https://www.instagram.com/realjohnkiriakou&#xA;https://x.com/JohnKiriakou&#xA;&#xA;LISTEN ON SPOTIFY:&#xA;https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8Zu&#xA;&#xA;LISTEN ON APPLE MUSIC:&#xA;https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall</description>

      <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. 

Today we discuss:
 •  In a bizarre episode of epic incompetence and lack of coordination, the Trump Administration shut down El Paso’s airspace—originally for 10 days—over a party balloon. First, it turns out the Defense Dept. lent a high-powered anti-drone system to the Border Patrol. Who turned it on without permission. To shoot down a “Mexican cartel drone.” Which didn’t exist. Fearing passenger jets would tumble out of the sky, a panicked FAA—who never got a call from the Border folks playing with their borrowed toy—ordered a shutdown. Organ transplant recipients may die as a result. Then the Trump Administration reflexively spun tall tales to cover it up. We’ll try to peel away the many layers of insanity here.
 •  Asked about the Epstein Files under oath, AG Pam Bondi helpfully points out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is a record high.
 • As Trump dispatches a second carrier battle group to the Persian Gulf, he tells Netanyahu he prefers to negotiate with Iran, rather than bomb it—for now.
 • House Republicans advance the SAVE America Act, which would pass Americans’ voter information to the Dept. of Homeland Security, require proof of citizenship to vote and require special paperwork for people who have changed their names, like women and trans people.
 • Russians are being evacuated from Cuba.
