DeProgram: “Trump vs. Musk, Big Bad Bill, Ted’s Dirt on Tom Girardi, Iran Talks”

As always, “DeProgram” with CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou and political cartoonist Ted Rall digs into today’s issues with depth and insight. First, John and Ted break down the Trump-Musk feud, sparked when Elon Musk blasted Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” as a “disgusting abomination” for adding $2.5 trillion to the national debt, clashing with Trump’s promises and splitting the GOP. Next, we examine the bill itself, which extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, ends taxes on tips and overtime, and imposes strict SNAP and Medicaid work requirements. House Republicans like Mike Flood and Ashley Hinson now regret their votes, facing boos at town halls in Nebraska and Iowa.

Then, we turn to the Tom Girardi fraud sentencing, where the 86-year-old disgraced lawyer is sent to federal prison for seven years. This hits close for Ted Rall, as Girardi once represented him in a 2015 defamation lawsuit against the LA Times, a case tainted by Girardi’s later-revealed corruption, leaving Rall entangled in a legal mess. John provides insight into what Girardi faces next.

Finally, we tackle the Iran nuclear talks. On the DeProgram show with political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou, expect razor-sharp analysis of these pivotal stories.
