The Jimmy Dore Show

Candace Owens has responded forcefully to criticism from Turning Point USA (TPUSA) leaders over a proposed interview, rejecting their demand that she appear in person at a designated time and date at their Arizona studio for an interview to address her criticisms. She agreed to appear via Zoom, and allow TPUSA to monetize the event for their benefit, yet they refused. As Jimmy points out, Candace's request is perfectly reasonable, and TPUSA routinely features guests via Zoom, yet for some reason they can't make this simple accommodation for Candace. He depicts this refusal as telling, and demonstrating that TPUSA leadership is not genuinely interested in engaging with critics. Plus segments on the holes in the FBI's story about the suspect in custody for the January 6th pipe bombs and how Israel is likely behind the Trump administration's push for regime change in Venezuela.  Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kevin Spacey!

In this segment Jimmy and guest Nick Cruse of the Revolutionary Blackout Network share their skepticism about the official narrative surrounding Luigi Mangione as they argue that evidence such as the gun and manifesto appear planted and the case is being manipulated by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. They compare the Mangione case to other recent incidents they view as suspicious, suggesting a pattern of sloppy or intentional fabrication used to justify expansion of the surveillance and police state.  The hosts also criticizes mainstream media for uncritically accepting government claims and ignoring contradictory details, as well as accusing left-leaning organizations like the DSA of serving establishment interests. Broader themes include distrust of intelligence agencies, corruption within political parties, and the belief that working-class and global-south struggles are being undermined by powerful institutions. Plus segments on the real reason Trump pardoned Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar, the firestorm surrounding FBI Director Kash Patel and "Jacket-gate and Volodymyr Zelensky's impending ouster from the Ukrainian presidency. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Kash Patel!

A CIA-trained Afghan operative—reportedly recruited during the Afghanistan War as a child into a U.S.-backed death squad—who immigrated to the US in 2021 was likely "activated" to carry out the Washington, D.C., National Guard shooting, likely as a manufactured crisis timed to justify nationwide military deployments.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that early media narratives blaming "radical Islam" collapsed once evidence surfaced that the shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, had long-standing ties to U.S. intelligence, prompting accusations of a staged false flag.  The segment links this incident to a larger pattern of covert operations, predictive online search spikes, and past cases of CIA-connected actors surfacing in domestic events. Ultimately, they portray the shooting as part of a technocratic surveillance expansion, bipartisan corruption, and a manipulated political theater designed to keep Americans afraid and compliant. Plus segments on Trump's shocking pardon of notorious narcotrafficker Juan Orlando Hernandez, Candace Owens' evidence that the French government is trying to assassinate her and James Li's firing from Breaking Points.  Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

The Trump administration is touting progress in brokering a Ukraine peace deal, with claims that Ukraine has tentatively signed on and only a few details needing to be sewn up to get Russia on board.  Guest host Chris Keene and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the ongoing political theater around a war that could have ended years earlier if Western powers hadn't intervened to sabotage diplomacy mere weeks after the war begain.  As mainstream outlets praise or panic over the proposal, the hosts highlight the staggering human toll—1.4 million dead—contrasting it with U.S. officials now admitting Ukraine faces imminent defeat and unsustainable military support.  With blistering commentary, they shred both parties for fueling endless war, exploiting Ukraine's suffering, and pretending sudden urgency after years of burying peace negotiations. The segment closes with the hosts blasting the hypocrisy, corruption, and geopolitical gamesmanship from both Democrats and Republicans keeping the conflict alive while ordinary people pay the price. Plus segments on newly minted CBS News head Bari Weiss explaining that she wants to be an informational gatekeeper, the reaction to Joe Rogan suggesting that cultural issues are being used to divide us, Tucker Carlson saying he now "hates" the Republican Party and U2's Bono's declaration of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Also featuring Mischa Paullin!

Guest host James Li and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight how lobbying groups like the Anti Defamation League are pressuring Congress to unlock up to $4 billion from an American taxpayer fund, despite October 7th occurring on foreign soil and involving largely foreign nationals.  The hosts argue that the proposal would inflame public anger, deepen anti-Israel sentiment, and fuel the political machinery that profits from perpetual outrage and accusations of antisemitism. Ultimately, they warn that this move could tear at America's social fabric while being used to justify expanding surveillance, censorship, and political control. Plus segments on the curious geographic source of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Twitter page, the Trump administration's betrayal of the MAHA movement over pesticides and Trump's threats of execution against Democratic Members of Congress for alleged acts of sedition. Also featuring Chris Keene!

Candace Owens, in her dogged investigation into the Charlie Kirk assassination, has discovered a new set of contradictions in the TPUSA narrative. She has identified conflicting claims about drone usage and security failures at the Utah Valley University event coming from figures like Brian Harpole and Frank Turk.  Guest host James Li and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the discrepancies between early accounts, official statements, and newly surfaced drone footage that contradicts Harpole's claims. The discussion expands into a broader critique of TPUSA leadership, pointing to missing evidence, inconsistent witness stories, and a pattern of rapidly debunked claims from insiders and affiliated pastors.  Plus segments on Thomas Massie's latest exposé involving the Epstein Files, Trump claiming the Palestinian people are doing really well and Bill Maher explaining that he's done touring because he's afraid of getting shot. Also featuring Chris Keene, Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss!

A speech from former Obama staffer Sarah Gurwitz has sparked outrage after she claimed young Jews can't think clearly about Israel because TikTok keeps "flooding their brains" with raw footage of Gaza carnage. Critics have shredded her argument, noting she openly admits to the devastation in Gaza while blaming young people for believing their own eyes instead of Zionist gatekeepers.  Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence show discuss how Holocaust education has been twisted into a justification for Israeli impunity rather than a warning against oppression. The two hosts offer a blistering indictment of U.S. and Israeli propaganda networks, calling out both governments and American Zionist institutions for enabling and sanitizing mass atrocities. Plus segments on Attorney General Pam Bondi's stunning shamelessness in performing a complete 180 on the Epstein Files and Democrats' pathetic fumble in failing to censure US Virgin Islands' Delegate Stacey Plaskett for being a willing puppet of Jeffrey Epstein.

During a recent interview with CNN, Candace Owens dismanted reporter Elle Reeve's questioning about "Zionist occupied government" rhetoric and refusing to accept that she'd been spreading white nationalist or anti-Semitic tropes. Jimmy frames the CNN host's questions as manipulative tactics meant to shame or intimidate critics of Israeli government policy, while presenting Owens as boldly doubling and tripling down on her political arguments. He highlights Owens' insistence on distinguishing criticism of Zionism from hostility toward Jewish people and mocks the reporter's childish mannerisms and speech patterns, as well as her ideological blind spots. Plus segments hosted by the Due Dissidence duo of Keaton Weiss and Russell Dobular on Thomas Massie's accusations of a coverup in the Epstein affair directed at Speaker Mike Johnson and Donald Trump's tense reaction to a reporter's question about the Saudi government's involvement in the killing and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Donald Trump has finally thrown in the towel and caved on releasing the Epstein files after realizing that up to 100 House Republicans planned to reject the President's directive and vote for the disclosure. Trump's incredible about-face — from calling the issue a "Democratic hoax" one day to urging Republicans to vote for release the next — shows just how much his influence over the MAGA coalition has weakened.  Jimmy claims this episode reveals a broader collapse of Trump's control as lawmakers, donors, and influencers increasingly resist him over issues from foreign policy to worker visas. This Epstein-file vote provides yet more evidence that Trump's political power has fractured and that his base is now holding him accountable rather than following him. Plus segments on Trump's unhinged meltdown over Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene's MAGA apostasy and Trump's secret plan to keep the Epstein files hidden. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a hilarious phone call from JD Vance!

During a recent taping of her show Megyn Kelly called out Ben Shapiro for claiming that Candace Owens had accused Erica Kirk of involvement in Charlie Kirk's death, a claim Kelly later verified was untrue. Jimmy points out that Kelly found multiple instances of Owens explicitly defending Erica Kirk, contradicting Shapiro's assertion.  And while Jimmy appreciates Kelly's clarification and defense of Candace, he nevertheless questions why she refuses to engage more deeply with Owens' coverage of the Charlie Kirk investigation.  Plus segments on Candace Owens' expose of pastors paid off to denounce opponents of Israel, actress Zendaya refusing to appear with co-star Sydney Sweeney over the latter's controversial jeans ad, and former Biden spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre hiding behind her ethnicity and sexuality to justify defending genocide. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a hilarious phone call from FBI Director Kash Patel!

Donald Trump's recent Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham was supposed to be a softball, but matters quickly headed south when the President tried to defend bringing in 600,000 Chinese students to keep U.S. universities financially afloat, despite previously labeling China a major threat. Ingraham pushed back on Trump's claim that cutting those students would cause "half the colleges in the United States to go out of business." The comment also sparked outrage among his MAGA supporters, who saw it as a betrayal of his "America First" platform.  Critics across conservative circles, including Nick Fuentes and former Trump loyalists, blasted him for prioritizing foreign interests, expanding H-1B visas, and embracing globalist economic logic. Jimmy frames the interview as a catastrophic misstep that alienated Trump's base and exposed a widening rift between his rhetoric and his policies. Plus segments on Ingraham also questioning Trump about supporting the H1-B program, Trump's gaslighting about inflation, his long-fogotten pledge to fix the healthcare system and newly released texts that raise serious questions about why the Charlie Kirk crime scene was paved over so quickly. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Jimmy talks with Nick Cruse from the Revolutionary Blackout Network about the recent deal to reopen the U.S. government following the longest shutdown in American history. The two describe Democrats' capitulation to Republican demands by agreeing to reopen the government without securing guarantees for Affordable Care Act subsidies as another example of political theater serving corporate interests.  The discussion broadens into criticism of both major parties for failing to deliver affordable healthcare, maintaining costly and imperialistic foreign policies, and protecting elite interests over working Americans. The segment concludes with calls for systemic reform and skepticism toward both the Democratic and Republican establishments. Plus a segment on an investigation by Blaze Media uncovering the identity of the police officer suspected in the January 6 pipe bombing incident. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

We all know that the United States ships billions of dollars to Israel, but in this segment Jimmy explains how the true figure is much higher than most of us have been led to believe, and that U.S. financial support for Israel has totaled about $1.6 trillion since 1973. He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger criticize how taxpayer funds—through direct military aid, state pension investments in Israeli bonds, and emergency spending—are allegedly prioritized for foreign conflicts rather than addressing economic struggles at home.  They argue that both political parties enable this imbalance, pointing to examples like Senator Ted Cruz's over-the-top pro-Israel remarks as evidence of bipartisan subservience to foreign interests. The segment closes by contrasting America's deteriorating infrastructure and social welfare with the vast sums directed overseas, framing the issue as one of class and systemic corruption rather than left versus right politics. Plus segment on Candace Owens' growing popularity since being fired by Ben Shapiro and video of Ukrainian President Zelensky acknowledging just days after the Russian invasion that many western powers wanted to use Ukraine just to weaken Russia. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. Plus a phone call from Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani!

Well, it's over — after much controversy and ugliness through a lengthy campaign, New York City has elected Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor. Contrary to the consensus on the left, however, Jimmy and Due Dissidence's Russell Dobler do not believe Mamdani's victory represents a radical political shift but rather a continuation of establishment politics backed by elite interests, including figures like Alex Soros.  Russell suggests that while Mamdani may implement limited reforms such as a rent freeze, his administration is unlikely to deliver transformative change, comparing his prospects to past Democratic mayors like Bill de Blasio. The discussion also highlights how demographic shifts and frustration with entrenched political power shaped the election, signaling the end of an era for New York's old political establishment. Plus segments on Mamdani's decidedly anti-worker stance regarding fired city workers who refused to take the COVID vaccine and Israel arresting the nation's chief prosecutor after she charged Israeli prison guards with sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

In this episode Jimmy seeks to dispel misinformation about he SNAP program, which provides food assistance to low income Americans. He points out that nearly one-third of Americans are low-income and two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled individuals.  He also points out that the U.S., despite being the richest nation in history, prioritizes foreign spending—such as aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Argentina—over feeding its own citizens. This, he says, is evidence of a declining empire manipulated by billionaire and corporate interests that have captured both major political parties. He concludes that the growing wealth gap, rising inflation, and political distraction over culture wars reflect a system that serves elites while ordinary Americans struggle to survive. Plus segments on the surprising outcome of Trump's tariff trade war with China and FBI head Kash Patel's reaction to being caught using a government jet to attend a pro wrestling event with his girlfriend. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. Plus a phone call from George Clooney!

Jimmy Dore and Reportage author James Corbett discuss a recent conversation on CNBC where the panel discussed the problem of wealth inequality in the United States, and suggest that a civil war between the haves and the have nots may be looming.  Corbett argues that the ruling oligarchs deliberately promote cultural and partisan conflicts to prevent a unified populist movement against systemic corruption and corporate dominance. Both conclude that true change requires unity across political lines and awareness of how mainstream media maintains public division to protect elite interests. Plus segments on a U.S. ambassador slipping up and revealing our REAL objectives in Venezuela and Bill Gates' recent EPIC flip-flop on climate change. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. Plus a phone call from Kash Patel!

Candace Owens has responded to criticism of her speculation about Turning Point USA staffer Mikey McCoy's curious behavior immediately after Charlie Kirk's shooting. Owens defends McCoy by acknowledging he may have been following pre-set emergency instructions or reacting in shock, although Jimmy finds those claims less than plausible and questions inconsistencies in TPUSA's narrative.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger also question Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow's remarks comparing conspiracy theorists to addicts, which Owens frames as a psychological operation meant to discredit critics. The discussion expands to accuse media, political, and religious figures of gaslighting and covering up key details surrounding the incident. Plus segments on the internal clash within the Trump administration between Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard over the Kirk investigation and journalist Michael Shellenberger upending the dominant climate change narrative about sea level rise. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Publicly, Megyn Kelly is accepting uncritically the official narrative surrounding Charlie Kirk's alleged murder by Tyler Robinson, based on her conversations with the FBI and Charlie's security team. Jimmy mocks Kelly for admitting she doesn't watch Candace Owens, who has exposed inconsistencies in the official story, and accuses her of dishonesty and career-driven cowardice.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger compare the situation to past government cover-ups surrounding the killings of JFK and RFK, claiming the evidence doesn't support the version of events being promoted.  Plus segments on Donald Trump Jr.'s clumsy doublespeak on questions surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination and suspicious Google searches for "Tyler James Robinson" in Huntsville, Alabama prior to Kirk's shooting. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!

In a recent video post, online commentator and former Trump devotee Candace Owens emotionally suggests that Charlie Kirk was "betrayed" and implies Donald Trump and his allies may have allowed his death to happen. Owens expresses that she's "fully lost faith in Trump" and makes dark jokes about how "they give you a holiday and a boulevard after they kill you," referencing the tributes given to Kirk, including "Charlie Kirk Square" in Israel.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger analyze Owens' comments, mock media reactions, and discuss the backlash from figures like Steven Crowder, who harshly attacked Owens, while allies such as Ian Caroll defended her interpretation. The discussion then turns into a broader critique of conservative hypocrisy, Israel's influence in U.S. politics, and fears of censorship or retaliation against those questioning official narratives. Plus segments on Netanyahu humiliating Trump over West Bank annexation, Steve Bannon announcing that Trump will run for and win the presidency in 2028 and late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre identifying billionaire Tom Pritzker as one of her rapists. Also featuring Jackson Hinkle, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

The Trump administration's proposed $40 billion bailout to Argentina would seem to contradict Trump's "America First" rhetoric and shows this President is willing to treat the US treasury like a cash register doling out ungodly sums of taxpayer dollars to global billionaire interests.  As Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss, the bailout is structured in a way that allows private hedge funds — such as those tied to billionaire Rob Citrone and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant — to reap profits while U.S. taxpayers absorb the risk. Jimmy also points out that the policy is being pushed despite Argentina's poor economic track record and adverse impact on U.S. farmers (especially soybean and beef producers) in a trade war context.  This bailout is sadly just another part of a broader system where government subsidies favor elite global interests while American workers and everyday citizens get the shaft but still get to foot the bill. Plus segments on Trump's abandonment of "America First" to screw over U.S. cattle ranchers and YET ANOTHER serious question raised about Charlie Kirk's security team. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!
