Trump Sends $2.8 Billion More to Israel | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Author: Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas September 16, 2026 Duration: 1:01:33

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:

• The Trump administration approves a $2.8 billion sale of heavy bombs to Israel, in what would be among the largest deliveries of U.S. munitions there even as public support for the country declines. The proposed sale would include 40,000 one-ton bombs whose use by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon has drawn international anger because of the civilian harm caused by their wide blast radius.

• ICE went on a hiring binge last year. The agency offered $50,000 signing bonuses. The hiring happened so quickly that many new officers were put on the streets before being adequately vetted. The agency has begun quietly firing some of the recruits—and some are taking their own lives.

• FBI Director Kash Patel defends a new policy at the bureau that does not immediately disqualify potential hires who have engaged in bestiality.
