Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST.

Today we discuss:

• Trump wants to build a 250-foot-tall memorial arch in DC to celebrate July 4th.

• Gulf Allies characterize Iran’s mid-range missiles as a deadly threat to the Middle East and US bases there. Turkey to host US-Iran negotiations.

• Google accused of violating its own ethics rules by handing over AI tech to Israel, which is using it to build its surveillance state. Meanwhile, Israel bans MSF from Gaza as Rafah crossing sort-of reopens.
