Trump Nearly Killed in Near Miss | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Author: Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas August 6, 2026 Duration: 59:00

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:

• We almost got a new president! The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating why an American Airlines jet came dangerously close to a helicopter carrying President Donald Trump—an incident taking place as the presidential helicopter approached the same airport where an Army helicopter collided with a regional jet over the Potomac River in 2025.

• The CIA has covertly established a Cuba task force for the first time since 1960. The task force has begun adding case officers who recruit and manage spies, intelligence analysts, officers who conduct cyberoperations and officers who specialize in covert influence operations, the people said. It aims to create fissures among the Cuban political elite, in hope of pressuring the Cubans to replace perceived anti-American hard-liners with more practical leaders more amenable toTrump.

• The Clintonite group Third Way will spend at least $15 million in a “war” against left-leaning voters to drive them out of the Democratic Party. Third Way plans to target the Democratic Socialists of America movement, which they call a “mortal danger” for Democrats. The war will include opposition research into DSA, polling, social media programs and propagandizing Democratic activists and leaders. It would target both proud democratic socialists and those such as Abdul El-Sayed—and try to defeat them.
