The Jimmy Dore Show

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss a recent Iranian missile attack that struck a US naval facility in Bahrain, potentially causing American casualties and being celebrated by local Bahrainis. Citing former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson, Jimmy discusses whether the US Navy is now strategically trapped in the Persian Gulf after losing its primary port, with ships facing a week-long journey to reload missiles.  Jimmy adds that Saudi Arabia has been drawn into the conflict by an Israeli false flag attack, warning that Iran could destroy regional oil infrastructure if its own fields are targeted. He concludes the US is blindly following Israeli interests in a war with no exit strategy, which could ultimately lead to Israel's downfall using its "Samson Option" nuclear doctrine. Plus segments on Trump's ACTUAL end goal from the Iran war, a congressional witness getting cut off before revealing the truth about the CIA's operations in Iran and Max Blumenthal on the Greater Israel project. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jeffrey Toobin!

Despite appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to bring his MAHA sensibilities to the administration, Donald Trump recently issued an executive order supporting domestic production of cancer-causing glyphosate and effectively shielding manufacturers like Bayer from state-level lawsuits while keeping the U.S. food system dependent on the herbicide.  Jimmy contrasts RFK's past legal battles against Monsanto/Bayer with his current defense of the policy, framing it as a reversal allegedly driven by "national security" concerns about Chinese supply chains but actually about that old stalwart: money.  Joe Rogan's podcast RFK claimed that banning glyphosate would disrupt corn and soy production in the U.S., but critics argue there is no serious transition plan toward regenerative or alternative farming methods. Jimmy concludes the segment by determining that RFK should resign rather than go along any more with this corrosive hypocrisy. Plus segments on Bill Clinton's literally unbelievable testimony about Jeffrey Epstein and Dan Bongino's latest unhinged attack on Candace Owens. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

The right-wing knives are out for Candace Owens after she released a trailer for a new investigative series scrutinizing Erica Kirk and the leadership of Turning Point USA following Charlie Kirk's reported death. Multiple conservative influencers all used similar language—calling Owens "demonic" or "evil"—in a barrage of online criticism that appears to have been coordinated rather than organic.  Jimmy cites a leaked memo and social media analysis as possible evidence of synchronized messaging, though the authenticity of some of these sources remains disputed. The broader theme centers on online smear campaigns, influencer coordination, media narrative control, and internal conflict within right-wing political circles. Plus segments on Donald Trump's complete transformation into a full-on neocon like George Bush and Dick Cheney and newly surfaced questions about the Charlie Kirk assassination. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Mike MacRae and Baron Coleman. Plus a phone call from Harrison Ford!

The recent interview between Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee was eye-opening for a variety of reasons, just one being the remarkable portion devoted to questions about ancestry, biblical claims, and modern political sovereignty in Israel. The two discussed whether historical, religious, or genetic lineage determines land rights, with Carlson finding Huckabee's answers on why nonpracticing Jews from Eastern Europe like Benjamin Netanyahu should have a birthright to the land of Israel evasive and disingenuous.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger expand the conversation to critique the conflation of Judaism with modern Zionism, citing statements from anti-Zionist Jewish groups who argue that political nationalism is distinct from religious faith. The segment concludes with broader commentary on Middle East history and identity debates. Plus segments on Kash Patel's recent scandalous appearance in the locker room with the US men's hockey team at the Winter Olympics and the FBI's coverup of a potential new suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Baron Coleman and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

In this podcast Jimmy interviews Moms Across America's Zen Honeycutt about a recent Donald Trump executive order and proposed Farm Bill language related to glyphosate and pesticide regulation. Despite campaign promises about reducing toxins and addressing chronic illness, the President's actions demonstrate that the Trump administration is favoring agribusiness interests and could shield pesticide manufacturers from liability while limiting state and local authority.  The two discuss evidence demonstrating that glyphosate-based herbicides cause cancer and other health harms and criticize regulatory agencies and corporate influence in Washington. The segment frames the issue as a betrayal of MAHA voters and urges grassroots activism to oppose the legislation. Plus segments on police radio transmissions that raise new doubts about Charlie Kirk's final moments and the common household items that are secretly spying on you. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Kurt Metzger!

In this episode, Jimmy covers Palantir CEO Alex Karp. He has gained a reputation for "unhinged" behavior through his eccentric, high-energy public appearances and provocative statements, such as animatedly ranting in interviews about making enemies "scared" for safety, boasting that Palantir helps the West "scare enemies and, on occasion, kill them," fantasizing about drones spraying fentanyl-laced urine on critical analysts as a "lower purpose" for revenge, and displaying restless, fidgety mannerisms that went viral. Plus segments on how NYU tried to silence Professor Mark Crispin Miller, Tucker reveals "Supra Government" who really runs the world, and Thomas Massie on the real reasons why trump wants Venezuela and Greenland.  Also featuring Mark Crispin Miller, Thomas Massie, Stef Zamorano, and Kurt Metzger

Two of the perhaps most surprising names to appear in the Epstein files are those of the Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra. Jimmy and his guest, filmmaker Mikki Willis, question the two spiritual leaders' judgment and continued associations after Epstein's conviction, focusing on controversial emails, disputed interpretations of public incidents, and broader criticism of celebrity spiritual leaders who preach enlightenment while allegedly maintaining ties to powerful elites.  Chopra's past writings and public persona are contrasted with his defensive and evasive responses when confronted about Epstein by a journalist at the airport. The segment expands into a wider critique of the "new age" movement, masculinity, parenting philosophy, and what the speakers describe as ego-driven hypocrisy within spiritual communities. Plus segments on Russia rescuing Cuba from Trump's oil embargo and Hugh Hefner as the original honeypot operator. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Howard Lutnick!

Even though the media tries to obscure the issue, worsening blackouts, fuel shortages, and humanitarian conditions in Cuba are the direct result of intensified U.S. sanctions under President Donald Trump, including threats of tariffs on countries that supply oil to the island. Jimmy describes these measures as collective punishment aimed at collapsing Cuba's government, comparing them to past U.S. actions in Iran and Venezuela and accusing corporate media of omitting the role of the long-standing embargo.  Jimmy draws parallels between U.S. policy toward Cuba and Israel's siege of Gaza, claiming both represent deliberate economic warfare against civilian populations. The episode concludes by describing a history of CIA propaganda against Cuba, asserting that economic pressure—not internal policy failures—is primarily responsible for the country's current crisis. Plus segments on Israel's role in the recent South American fires, Bill Maher addressing his feud with Jimmy Kimmel and Erika Kirk's latest lie exposed by Candace Owens. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger, Baron Cohen and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

In this episode, Jimmy covers the recent tense congressional exchange in which Rep. Thomas Massie challenged Attorney General Pam Bondi over redactions in newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents, accusing the DOJ of protecting alleged co-conspirators while previously exposing victim names. Follow-up segments include Rep. Thomas Massie accusing the Department of Justice of improperly redacting names in Jeffrey Epstein-related FBI documents, newly surfaced texts exposing Erika Kirk's alleged grooming of a 15-year-old, and "How Michael Parenti Exposed Chomsky as a Fraud" with Christian Parenti.

Newly released DOJ documents have deepened suspicions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death by revealing a draft death statement dated a day before the "disgraced financier" supposedly died. Jimmy highlights other irregularities, including guards removing Epstein from jail beforehand, malfunctioning cameras, missed cell checks, and blurry surveillance footage showing a mysterious "flash of orange" on the stairs during the estimated time of death.  Jimmy also mocks official explanations, suggesting these inconsistencies point not to incompetence but to a coordinated cover-up, possibly involving intelligence agencies. The segment concludes by asserting that believing the official suicide narrative requires ignoring overwhelming contradictions in timelines, documentation, and video evidence. Plus segments on new evidence pointing to Charlie Kirk's microphone as a possible clue in his death, shocking footage from the '90s revealing the perverse hypersexualization of Britney Spears and Bill Maher's mea culpa for maligning QAnon. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Stef Zamorano and Baron Coleman! Plus a phone call from Kash Patel!

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger unload on Noam Chomsky, portraying him as a gatekeeper on the left who discouraged scrutiny of elite power and dismissed investigations into events like JFK's assassination, 9/11, and COVID-era policies as distractions or conspiracies. They argue that newly surfaced Epstein-related emails undermine Chomsky's credibility, highlighting his reported social interactions with Epstein and advice he offers Epstein on handling media scrutiny after the disgraced financier's conviction.  Jimmy and Kurt further point to Chomsky's positions on vaccine mandates, Medicare for All, and "Force the Vote" as evidence that he aligned with establishment narratives while marginalizing grassroots activism. The discussion concludes by framing Chomsky as a "proxy dissident" whose influence, according to the hosts, ultimately steered dissent back into mainstream political channels rather than challenging them. Plus segments on Lindsey Graham's increasing episodes of slurred speech during TV appearances and another TPUSA whistleblower tearing into Erika Kirk for breeding a hostile work environment. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Baron Coleman!

We all recall when Dan Bongino, after joining the FBI, reversed his past stance on the Epstein case, declaring that Epstein had killed himself, case closed. Now critics are pointing out to Bongino that he used to sell accountability rhetoric and then retreated into institutional secrecy once given power. And he's not happy about it! In a striking video, Bongino makes repeated claims about being entrusted with "custody of information," which Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger label as the kind of deep-state language typically used to justify withholding truth from the public while demanding trust.  The two argue that Bongino's emotional outbursts, attacks on critics like Dave Smith, and appeals to classified briefings expose hypocrisy and a lack of self-awareness. Ultimately, the piece portrays Bongino as another figure who promised justice, protected the system instead, and now lashes out at voters for asking the very questions he once encouraged. Plus segments on Trump's jaw-dropping response to the latest Epstein files release, Joe Rogan's surprising appearance in the files, evidence suggesting that Jeffrey Epstein was removed from prison the night before he allegedly committed suicide and Thomas Massie's description of how the public will know if the Epstein files' release had the proper effect. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

The newly released Epstein-related documents are filled with unquestionably horrible allegations, including sworn statements accusing powerful figures of sexual abuse, blackmail, and involvement in trafficking networks, yet many files remain hidden — no doubt to protect elites. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger reference Elon Musk's claim that Trump appears in the Epstein files and speculate that geopolitical pressure, particularly involving Israel and major donors, explains why full disclosure has not occurred.  Throughout, the discussion repeatedly cites graphic allegations from affidavits and complaints, while emphasizing that only a fraction of the total documents have been released and that no clients have been prosecuted. The broader theme is systemic impunity, media silence, and the use of kompromat to control U.S. political leadership. Plus segments on the media commentators whose dismissal of the Epstein files are looking the worst today, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's surprising admission about the Iran protests and why even after the latest release, the Epstein files remain a huge coverup protecting powerful interests. Also featuring Jeffrey Sachs and Stef Zamorano! 

On a recent show Bill Maher claimed that Donald Trump should win a Nobel Peace Prize if he helps topple the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran. Jimmy and guest Dave Smith dismantle this argument, pointing out that this mindset glorifies regime change rather than peace.  The two frame Maher's comments as propaganda-driven and historically ignorant, glossing over decades of U.S.-led coups, sanctions, and interventions that destabilized regions and killed millions. The discussion emphasizes that encouraging uprisings or foreign-backed protests creates moral hazards, often leading to civil war, failed states, or prolonged violence, as seen in Iraq, Libya, and Syria.  Ultimately, the two argue that calls to overthrow governments, especially without a realistic post-regime plan, reflect a dangerous, outdated worldview that continues to fuel endless war. Plus segments on Erika Kirk and TPUSA flagrantly breaking election laws, new TikTok competitor UpScrolled's plans to censor "dangerous" speech and Trump's shocking comments at Davos about the U.S. housing market. Also featuring Stew Peters, Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

In this podcast, Jimmy and his guest, podcaster Stew Peters, argue that Erica Kirk was increasingly positioning herself as a leader within Turning Point USA well before Charlie Kirk's death, citing a staff-meeting video where she is literally elevated to be standing on a table and praised as part of "God's plan."  Leaked video from a whistleblower shows Erika was making managerial decisions without Charlie's knowledge, signaling a quiet power transition inside the organization. The discussion expands into allegations that TPUSA is driven by donor pressure, foreign influence, and pro-war political agendas, with critics saying Charlie had begun resisting those forces. They further claim internal culture, secrecy, and long NDAs make staff vulnerable to control and silence dissent. Plus segments with Peters on leaked audio of Erika crowing about what a "success" Charlie Kirk's memorial was and how Charlie had become an obstacle to the long-term Zionist objectives of TPUSA's top donors. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

If you suspected that high-profile ICE raids and shootings are being used as spectacle to divide the public while the government continues policies that benefit corporations, including expanding visa programs that depress wages, you're right!  In this segment, Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that true immigration enforcement would target employers at farms, construction sites, hotels, and meatpacking plants, but instead authorities stage public street arrests and tackle and shoot legally armed citizens.  They frame these acts as part of a broader agenda involving surveillance expansion, predictive policing, and political distraction from issues like wars, censorship, and elite misconduct. Overall, the discussion presents immigration enforcement as theater masking bipartisan corporate priorities and the growth of a security state. Plus segments on the right wing turning against DHS head Kristi Noem and Trump firing Border Patrol Commander Dan Bovino over the Minnesota shootings. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from George Clooney!

Just before his death, Charlie Kirk received threatening, religiously framed messages from a major donor to Turning Point USA over his perceived shift on Israel — and Candace Owens recently exposed these texts. The messages demonstrate the intense pressure Kirk had been under from pro-Israel donors and media figures for platforming critics of Israel and questioning U.S. foreign policy, including Iran and intelligence agencies.  Jimmy suggests TPUSA leadership and donors suppressed this information to protect funding and reputations, while attacking Owens for making it public. The segment frames the situation as evidence of coercive donor influence and a cover-up within conservative political organizations. Plus segments on TPUSA's insane decision to launch a faith tour featuring a pastor accused of covering up sex crimes and Thomas Massie commenting on the House vote to approve the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) budget. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Scott Jennings!

Trump has apparently backed off from his threats to seize Greenland and impose tariffs on Europe after NATO leaders paused an EU-U.S. trade deal and pushed for negotiations. Jimmy argues the retreat is likely temporary, suggesting Trump still seeks long-term access to Arctic security arrangements, military bases, and Greenland's mineral resources.  He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger frame the episode as evidence that NATO and donor interests—especially the military-industrial complex—shape U.S. policy more than public promises. The discussion also criticizes NATO's role in global conflicts and suggests that a true break with NATO would be politically unlikely despite Trump's rhetoric. Plus segments on Candace Owens' number one unanswered question for Erika Kirk, Thomas Massie insisting the Epstein files will see the light of day, the catastrophe awaiting the U.S. economy over the national debt and Pam Bondi bragging about prosecuting Americans for speaking out against Israel. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss claims circulating online confirming that Erika Kirk is connected to Arizona's Fort Huachuca and was seen there with people tied to a now-unmade film project linked to defense and technology themes. Candace Owens and her source, Mitch Snow, provided the basis for this claim, and pushback from others was focused on attacking the informant's character rather than addressing the substance of the assertion, Jimmy says.  The discussion also dives into speculation about broader connections between pundits, intelligence bases, Hollywood projects, and military contractors, mixing personal history with suspicion about influence and "handlers." Plus segments on TPUSA threatening legal action over a critic who pointed out fraud within the organization, Russian plans to nuke Western Europe if the Ukraine War goes south and a Miami Beach resident who was harassed by police over a social media post critical of the mayor. Also featuring Thomas Massie, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

Jimmy Dore and The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal respond to Steve Bannon's claim that Trump has rejected a large-scale bombing campaign on Iran and that the Iranian government is supposedly on the verge of collapse. Max argues that the opposite is true, saying sanctions have failed to topple the state, pro-government rallies are massive, and a U.S. or Israeli attack would likely unify the population around the government.  Max warns that Israel and hawkish U.S. politicians like Lindsey Graham are still pressuring Trump to escalate and draw the U.S. into a long regional war, and could succeed in those efforts. The two conclude by pointing out that regime-change fantasies ignore Iran's history, political base, and the catastrophic outcomes of similar interventions in Iraq and Syria. Plus segments on Lindsey Graham's sadness over the lack of bombing of Iran, Trump critic Scott Ritter being debanked and an unhinged BBC talking head's theory about Iran controlling Trump. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from George Clooney!
