Is Trump Bidening Out? | DeProgram with Ted Rall and John Kiriakou

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

Today we discuss:

• Democrats covered up Biden’s physical and mental decline. As Trump gets caught sleeping through a cabinet meeting and rambling incoherently, some are asking: are Republicans covering up for their own octogenarian president?

• Will the world’s richest man let The Washington Post die? Fewer reporters are being sent to the Olympics and the Super Bowl. Foreign correspondents are holding off on trips to conflict zones. And editors are being encouraged to experiment with new forms of storytelling. Big layoffs are coming to the newsroom and the business sides of the paper, with sports, local and international taking most the pain. Video journalists, as well as politics and national security are expected to become more central.

• Democrats and the White House agreed to fund ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks while they negotiate restrictions on an immigration crackdown. Demands: banning ICE goons from masks and requiring them to wear body cameras and ID, an end to random immigration sweeps, judicial warrants for stop and searches and the same use-of-force standards as real cops. How much will Dems cave? Will Lindsey Graham hold things up? Did you hear about the “National Shutdown” today?
