Nonexistent Military Shoots Down U.S. Chopper | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST.

Today we discuss:

• The U.S. and Iran trade attacks after the shoot-down of an American Apache helicopter while it was patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. Khatam al-Anbiya, the operational headquarters of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, vowed there would be further “devastating and more wide-ranging strikes” if the U.S. continued to attack Iran. How did Iran score such a monumental achievement despite having had its military totally destroyed, according to Trump?

• Progressive Democrat Graham Platner is on course to earn about three-fourths of Maine rimary voters’ support. In South Carolina, Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette squeaks a win and will face Attorney General Alan Wilson in a June 23 runoff’s and Nancy Mace is trounced. Former Fox News host Steve Hilton advances to the general election in the California gubernatorial race, where he will face former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.

• The New York Times reveals a deep split within the White House over whether or not to release the Epstein Files. The internal debate raged at the highest levels for months, leaving Trump’s reputation battered, and confirming a cover-up.
