Plan 39 From Outer Space | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas
Summary
Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas argue that the US failed in its war against Iran, forcing a deal where Iran dictates terms, including demands for Israel to halt attacks. They discuss the geopolitical implications, such as Israel’s dependence on the US and nuclear negotiations. The hosts also critique Alabama’s use of nitrogen gas for executions as cruel and unusual, debate Social Security’s financial health, and reflect on Gen X’s political disengagement.
