Ted's immersion in the media—prize-winning cartoonist and columnist, radio host, editor at multiple outlets, and the veteran of bruising First Amendment legal battles—informs analysis that cuts through the spin.

  • Target: Tehran | DeProgram with Ted Rall and John Kiriakou
    Jan 29 2026

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

    Today we discuss:

    Trump intensified his threats against Iran suggesting he could soon attack “with speed and violence.” He and Europe want: an end to enrichment of uranium and disposal of current stockpiles, limits on the range and number of ballistic missiles, and an end to support for proxy groups including Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Will Trump and/or Israel attack? How? When?

    • Trump and Schumer are trying to avoid a partial government shutdown of Homeland Security this Saturday. Democrats want reforms to ICE—what would they look like? Also from Minnesota: Alex Pretti confronted ICE 11 days earlier, Trump vs. guns, Klobuchar running for governor.

    • A Dutch court ruled that the Netherlands violated the human rights of residents of Bonaire by failing to protect them from the effects of climate change.

    • After Trump demanded Minnesota voter records, FBI raids Fulton County, Georgia voter records. This has never happened before.

  • Dead As a Dog? | DeProgram with Ted Rall and John Kiriakou
    Jan 28 2026

    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.

  • Where Will ICE Killers Go Next? | DeProgram with Ted Rall and John Kiriakou
    Jan 27 2026

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

    Today we discuss:

    • Where will ICE kill its next American citizen? Greg Bovino replaced by Tom Homan in Minneapolis, Trump to pull “some” ICE stormtroopers out of Minnesota, gun rights groups seething over DHS rhetoric as Trump distances himself from his own staff. ICE isn’t done—where will they go next? Some are at the Winter Olympics.

    1968 Redux: There’s no telling what an anxious United States will do next as a sense of disorder and chaos spreads across party lines.

    • After the Nursing Home Lobby gave $5M to MAGA, Inc., Trump canceled a rule that would have required more staff.
