Venezuela Crackdown | DeProgram with Ted Rall and John Kiriakou

About this episode

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

Today we discuss:

• Trump’s plan to run the Venezuelan government via coercion and threat of force is turning the acting post-coup government paranoid. Will this powder keg explode into civil war? Meanwhile, Bruce Fein joins Nicolás Maduro’s legal defense team. Will Trump’s continuing recognition of the Venezuelan government validate Maduro’s claim to be a POW?

• Abruptly changing course, Trump invites Colombian President Gustavo Petro to the White House. Can Petro trust Trump not to arrest him too?

Trump pulls the US out of a key climate treaty and dozens of others.
