The Jimmy Dore Show

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two argue that calls to overthrow governments, especially without a realistic post-regime plan, reflect a dangerous, outdated worldview that continues to fuel endless war.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 sho

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.

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

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.

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.

It's become apparent that recent ICE raids are largely performative, aimed at signaling toughness to a political base rather than enforcing immigration law in the places where most undocumented labor actually occurs. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point out that ICE recruitment and training standards are dangerously low, citing an investigative account in which a writer was quickly "onboarded" with minimal screening.  Comedians and podcasters Tim Dillon and Joe Rogan are quoted criticizing masked, militarized street arrests as abusive, prone to mistakes, and harmful to public trust. The segment concludes that the raids distract from unmet campaign promises and broader policy failures, while putting unqualified agents and civilians at risk. Plus segments on CIA and Israeli misinformation driving Americans' perceptions about the Iran protests and Caleb Maupin confronting pro-war Venezuelan expatirates protesting in New York City.

Great news! Remember how Donald Trump used to talk about cutting the U.S. military budget in half and making peace with China and Russia? Well, that's all over because Trump is now calling for a massive INCREASE in the Pentagon budget to $1.5 trillion.  Guest host Chris Keene and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that this dramatic flip-flop contradicts Trump's anti-war rhetoric on the campaign trail and primarily serves the interests of defense contractors, tech firms, and oligarchs rather than public safety. They criticize media and bipartisan political elites for normalizing endless militarization while homelessness, poverty, and social decay worsen at home. The discussion frames the spending surge as part of a broader drift toward global conflict and a clear example of how campaign promises collapse once power is secured. Plus segments on how recent out-of-control episodes involving ICE are all part of a larger plan for cracking down on Americans' civil rights and why Trump is taking the wrong approa

Dan Bongino has returned to independent media after leaving his post as FBI Deputy Director, and is now back to being a bombastic "Twitter tough guy" after failing to deliver accountability when he actually held power. Guest host Keaton Weiss highlights Bongino's attacks on critics like Dave Smith while contrasting them with his record of defending official narratives around Jeffrey Epstein's death and other high-profile scandals.  Keaton cites Jimmy replying on Twitter, arguing that Bongino damaged his credibility by shielding institutions and elites, then lashing out at independent commentators who demand transparency. The episode frames Bongino's online rage as a collapse driven by hypocrisy, ego, and the inability to answer for his own past claims. Plus segments on JD Vance's bonkers, gaslighting defense of the Minneapolis ICE shooting, Tucker Carlson decrying the lack of humanity demonstrated by many Americans' response to the ICE shooting and the Trump administration's latest dodge to avoid releasing al

The political world has been upended by the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agents on a residential street in Minneapolis during a tense confrontation captured on multiple videos. Guest host Chris Keene and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger dispute DHS and President Trump's claims that the shooting was justifiable on self-defense grounds, arguing that Good was attempting to flee rather than intentionally run over an agent, while also criticizing her decision to drive off in a chaotic, armed encounter.  They condemn the use of masked, allegedly undertrained ICE agents operating in neighborhoods, saying the policy environment created an unnecessary and dangerous situation that predictably led to loss of life. The segment closes by highlighting political fallout, including criticism from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, escalating federal enforcement actions in the Twin Cities, and broader concerns about accountability, policing standards, and immigration enforcement tactics. Plus segments on Zionist billi

Is Candace Owens being unfairly attacked for hosting an open-source investigation rather than presenting finalized conclusions? Jimmy thinks so, emphasizing that Owens' role is to surface leads and tips that the broader community can then investigate. He highlights commentary from "Jesse On Fire," who explains that Owens acts as a central hub for vetted clues, while viewers collectively verify, debunk, or confirm them without turning disagreements into infighting.  Jimmy goes on to criticize media figures and influencers who frame unverified leads as proof of incompetence or malice, claiming this division serves institutional interests that want investigations shut down. He concludes that discrediting Candace is a strategy to derail collective inquiry, arguing that real investigations require following every lead to its end—even ones that go nowhere. Plus segments on comments from a prominent Israeli billionaire that the US will have to forgo free speech rights for Israel and the Trump administration's insane

The widely publicized Somali daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota is being deliberately amplified now to stoke outrage while obscuring larger geopolitical moves involving Israel, Somaliland, and the Middle East. As Jimmy points out, the fraud storyis linked to claims that Israeli intelligence, U.S. officials, and Gulf states are coordinating around recognizing Somaliland, building military facilities near the Red Sea, and countering Houthi activity tied to Yemen and Iran.  Jimmy shares past statements from General Wesley Clark, allegations about redirected U.S. aid money, and accusations that elite corruption and pardons for large-scale Medicare fraud receive far less scrutiny. These claims, he says, serve as a "distraction" narrative, suggesting the scandal serves broader strategic interests rather than being an isolated case of domestic fraud. Plus segments on President Trump saying he'll bomb Iran, Alex Jones' recent unhinged attacks on Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson's questions about the FBI's investigati

In this podcast, Jimmy argues that a coordinated, "astroturfed" media and influencer campaign was launched to discredit Candace Owens and whistleblower Mitch Snow after Snow claimed to witness key TPUSA security and political figures at Camp Huachuca shortly before Charlie Kirk's assassination. He highlights posts from Evan Kilgore and others who reversed their support for Owens while allegedly coordinating messaging, and shows claims that many of these same accounts promote the betting platform PolyMarket.  He goes on to review accusations that PolyMarket is financially tied to Trump-world, citing Donald Trump Jr.-linked investments and the DOJ dropping charges against the company, while also noting pushback involving Tim Pool, Ian Miles Cheong, and other right-wing influencers. Jimmy frames the backlash as evidence that powerful interests are panicking over Owens' investigation, asserting that coordinated smears typically indicate someone is "over the target." Plus segments on the additional reporting about

Jimmy and documentary filmmaker Ryan Matta criticize TPUSA's recent AmericaFest event, highlighting Tim Dillon's commentary that Erika Kirk's flashy, Hollywood-style entrance and early endorsement of JD Vance felt staged, elitist, and disconnected from everyday people. They accuse Ben Shapiro of influencing TPUSA toward a pro-Israel direction and allege growing internal tension at the organization.  The two also discuss the multiple claims and suspicious allegations surrounding Charlie Kirk's death, donor influence, and TPUSA's future, framed as a hostile takeover driven by powerful interests. Overall, the video portrays TPUSA as shifting from grassroots authenticity to a choreographed spectacle driven by wealthy donors, media manipulation, and political positioning. Plus segments on Candace Owens getting the last laugh at her haters' failed attempts to debunk the Ft. Huachuca story and Briahna Joy Gray's suspension from Instagram for telling the truth about Israel. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamora

Reports of an intense backlash at TPUSA's AmericaFest conference were not exaggerated, as younger conservatives in particular questioned Israel policy, foreign aid, and the historical 1967 USS Liberty incident, challenging Ben Shapiro's dismissal of it as "irrelevant."  Jimmy highlights a viral exchange where an attendee confronts Shapiro, argues that the attack was deliberate, and frames the issue as putting "America first" rather than prioritizing Israel. TPUSA leadership and conservative media figures have been accused of suppressing criticism of Israel, while portraying a generational shift inside the conservative movement toward skepticism of U.S.–Israel relations.  Jimmy also amplifies claims from USS Liberty survivors and critics who dispute official findings, positioning the debate as part of larger infighting over Zionism, foreign policy, censorship, and influence within conservative politics.

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger react to Dave Chappelle's recent public clap-back at Bill Maher after Maher criticized Chappelle for suggesting that free speech is "better" in Saudi Arabia than in the U.S. Jimmy agrees that Chappelle's joke about Western hypocrisy and journalist deaths landed, but argues Chappelle was dodging broader criticism about comedians signing censorship contracts to perform under Saudi government speech restrictions.  Jimmy and Kurt discuss whether wealthy comics like Chappelle need to take gigs that require avoiding criticism of a regime, contrasting him with Tim Dillon, who mocked the restrictions on stage and was reportedly removed from the festival. The video also dives into larger debates about credibility, power, political hypocrisy, and how comedians like Chappelle, Maher, and others navigate money, speech, and moral boundaries. Plus segments on Tucker Carlson being named Antisemite of the Year and Trump's images being retracted from a recent Epstein files release. 

Outrage is already brewing over the Department of Justice's failure to fully release the Jeffrey Epstein files by the legally required deadline Friday, despite legislation pushed by Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and signed by Donald Trump. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch and Pam Bondi are acccused of hiding names of powerful men allegedly tied to Epstein, while establishment figures like Chuck Schumer publicly claim they want transparency.  As Jimmy points out, Massie says attorneys for victims know of at least 20 men accused of sex crimes whose names should appear, warning that if they don't, the DOJ clearly withheld evidence. He frames this as bipartisan theater and a deep-state style cover-up protecting elites, corporations, intelligence networks, and political power centers rather than victims.

Candace Owens has shared her account of the much-ballyhooed four-and-a-half-hour meeting with Erica Kirk and her lawyer, and Owens says she was not convinced by Turning Point USA's confidence that Tyler Robinson was the shooter in Charlie Kirk's assassination. Owens says the lawyer admitted there is no evidence beyond what the public has already seen and that investigators have not even interviewed key eyewitnesses whose testimony could challenge the official narrative.  She argues that TPUSA and allied commentators are gaslighting the public by overstating the strength of the case while dismissing questions about inconsistencies, including eyewitness accounts, ballistics issues, and unexplored leads. Owens concludes she has not changed her position, will continue investigating TPUSA figures she finds suspicious, and believes the authorities are failing to seriously pursue alternative explanations for what happened.
