DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Murtaza Hussain, national security and foreign affairs correspondent at DropSite News who investigates the Epstein files and intelligence links. He unpacks the massive document dump, Gulf elite connections including Kaaba cloth and Emirati ties, money laundering and intelligence links, and why elites tolerated Epstein. Short, probing conversations about messy disclosures and geopolitical implications.

They dig into the Clintons being hauled before a congressional probe and the fallout around Epstein. A comparison of FBI tactics and Don Lemon’s reported arrest sparks a conversation on raids and authority. Discussions jump to China’s expanding influence in Latin America, Uruguay’s new partnerships, and regional political shifts. Short historical and intelligence anecdotes pop up throughout.

They dig into a Democratic fundraising surge and the debate over ICE secrecy and doxxing. They examine released Epstein documents and their fallout for elites. They unpack regional tensions over Iran’s missiles and Turkey-hosted talks. They critique Google’s AI tie to Israeli surveillance and discuss Gaza’s Rafah crossing, humanitarian bans, and the unfolding catastrophe.

They debate reports of a president falling asleep in meetings and what that says about political cover-ups. They discuss cuts at a major newspaper and how reporting priorities are shifting. They cover a short-term immigration funding deal tied to limits on enforcement tactics. They also examine regional tensions with Iran and the risks of military escalation.

They debate rising US threats toward Iran and whether military strikes or diplomacy will follow. They examine domestic fights over Homeland Security funding and proposed ICE reforms. They cover an unprecedented FBI seizure of Georgia voter records and a Dutch court ruling on climate duty to protect island residents. The conversation also touches on China policy and risks of geoengineering.

Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. Today we discuss: • Is Kristi Noem’s career as doomed as the puppy she shot? 3/4 of House Democrats would impeach her after CBP concluded Alex Pretti never “brandished” a gun, despite Noem’s claims. Democrats who voted to confirm her are joining right-wing Democrats like John Fetterman and some Republicans to call for her to step down in the aftermath of her repeated lies defending ICE killers in Minneapolis. Tim Kaine worries aloud that Stephen Miller would replace her. • Ilhan Omar attacked by a man who sprayed her with an unknown liquid. And state legislators are proposing legislation to rein in ICE. • Brunch Democrats schedule “No Kings 3” marches for March 28 because, when fascism is on the march, what’s the rush? • Trump’s insults and military threats to Europe prompt his right-wing European ideological travelers to distance themselves from him for fear of vassalization.JOIN US LIVE ON RUMBLE!https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShowFOLLOW TED:https://rall.com/https://x.com/tedrallFOLLOW JOHN:https://www.instagram.com/realjohnkiriakouhttps://x.com/JohnKiriakouLISTEN ON SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8ZuLISTEN ON APPLE MUSIC:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-john-kiriakou-and-ted-rall
