DeProgram: “TrumpTempted by the Neocons”

LIVE 5 pm Eastern time, Streaming Anytime: In an uncertain world in an uncertain time, you can count on the “DePtogram show with political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou,” to deprogram you from the BS so you understand the latest developments in global and domestic crises. First comes the intensifying Iran-Israel War, where the Israelis are bombing striking uranium enrichment and missile sites in Iran, while Iran reports over 220 civilian deaths and retaliates with 400 missiles launched toward Israel. Israel is believed to only have 2,000 ICBMs. When will they run out, and then what? Israel and the U.S. are said to desire “regime change”; is that desirable or possible and, if so, how do we avoid another failed state like Libya or Syria? President Trump’s rhetoric has aligned with Israel—now he says “we”—and he’s threatening Iran’s Supreme Leader with assassination and hinting at U.S. deployment of a 30,000 bomb, with reports of U.S. aircraft carriers…

TMI Show Ep 162: “Will Trump Sell Out to the Neocons?”

LIVE 10 AM Eastern time, Streaming Anytime: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says the world is closer to the “brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before.” What better way to spend your last few moments than watching “The TMI Show” as the Middle East teeters on the edge? We are now entering the sixth day of war between Israel and Iran. Now President Donald Trump faces the biggest decision of his presidency: join Israel’s war against Iran and risk yet another brutal military defeat in the Middle East that would destroy his reputation forever, or try to revive diplomacy and lose his alliance with Israel. Trump’s frustration is growing over those stalled nuclear deal talks—especially after he ditched Obama’s previous accord during his first term. Yesterday, he met his national security team to weigh options, where they discussed attacking the underground Fordo site using top-tier “bunker buster” weaponry. Trump’s social media blasts, threatening Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with…

TMI Show Ep 161: “Bibi Threatens to Assassinate the Ayatollah”

LIVE 10 AM Eastern time, Streaming Anytime: The war between Israel and Iran grinds on, and “The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan” is on top of it! Yesterday, Israel bombed northern Tehran, targeting the headquarters of Iranian state television during a live broadcast, setting the news facility ablaze hours after issuing an evacuation warning for the neighborhood. Israel claims that the TV building concealed military infrastructure, but no independent verification backs this up. The bombing of journalists followed Israel’s attack on Quds Force HQ, part of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard, after four days of intense missile exchanges between the two countries. At least 224 people were killed by the Israelis and 1,400 wounded in Iran, 24 dead and 600 injured in Israel. Tensions are sky-high as Netanyahu is even saying he may assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, while the U.S. slaps a “do not travel” warning on Israel. What’s driving this dangerous spiral, and what’s next for the…

DeProgram: “Israel-Iran War, Minnesota Assassinations, Sean O’Brien”

LIVE 12 pm Eastern time, Streaming Anytime: Today on the “DeProgram show” with political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou, we’re deprogramming you from the MSM BS that confuses more than it clarifies. First, we explore day three of the Iran-Israel conflict. Will Iran rush to obtain nuclear weapons? Can Trump, Putin or China negotiate a ceasefire? Will the conflict spread? Ted and John examine the stakes and the days ahead. Next, the targeted shootings of Minnesota lawmakers Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman, both high-ranking Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party legislators, raise chilling questions about political violence. As prominent DFL leaders—Hortman as House Speaker Emerita and Hoffman as a key senator—their shared party ties and legislative roles suggest a possible political motive, though details remain unclear. Finally, Sean O’Brien, founder of Yale Privacy Lab, joins to discuss his startup’s groundbreaking work protecting digital privacy against pervasive surveillance. “Deprogram” delivers unflinching analysis of war, political violence, and the fight for personal…
