French Students Wild in the Streets | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET. Today we discuss: • Christa Pike is in critical condition and receiving “lifesaving care” at a hospital, after two failed attempts to execute her using the drug Tennessee (tries to) use to kill prisoners. • National protests by French high-school students over long hours (8am-6pm), teacher shortages and decaying facilities has escalated into “urban violence”, the French government warns, as many schools switch to online classes. • A new AP-NORC poll is the latest ugly data point for Trump. It showed Americans disapprove of the president on cost-of-living by a stunning margin: 82% to 17%. That’s more than disapproved of presidents for wars gone wrong, botched crisis responses and even major scandals like Watergate. Trump faces a map where “the fires are everywhere,” and Democrats are competitive in states such as Alaska, Iowa and Kansas, all of which voted for Trump by double-digit margins in 2024. • The Supreme Court will consider whether immigrants subject to deportation can be held in detention indefinitely while their cases are adjudicated. The focus is whether such immigrants should have a chance to be released while the deportation process moves forward, which was standard practice under previous presidents. 00:28 Rundown and Weekend Schedule 06:19 Christa Pike and the Botched Execution 18:50 Should the State Kill for Justice? 29:49 Cities of Refuge and Family Forgiveness 36:02 French Students Shut Down Nation's Schools 46:52 Trump’s Economy Numbers and Campaign Trail 54:31 Supreme Court and Indefinite Immigrant Detention 59:53 Promo: Premium AI Show and Saturday Interview MERCHANDISE: DeProgram.MySpreadShop.com LIVE ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DeProgramShow LIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShow https://x.com/tedrall https://x.com/JamarlThomas #tedrall #jamarlthomas #news #politics
