The Jimmy Dore Show

Regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican has been in the White House, for decades U.S. foreign policy toward Venezuela has been uniform in its demand for regime change, with virtually no success. Repeated coup attempts, crippling economic sanctions, the arrest of Venezuelan diplomats abroad — nothing has worked. As "Corporate Coup: Venezuela and the End of US Empire" author Anya Parampil explains, the failed Venezuela overthrow efforts are actually providing a blueprint for U.S. efforts to effect regime change in other countries around the globe as well. Plus a segment on the FBI operation to set up Donald Trump over alleged mishandling of classified documents. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Mitt Romney!

There is movement afoot within the international community — meaning the powerful western nations that exert a great deal of control over international affairs — to grant the World Health Organization sweeping new powers to dictate pandemic responses, and even to decide when a pandemic is occurring, around the globe. These are clearly antidemocratic measures that Republicans in the United States senate and a number of Republican state Attorneys General are vowing to fight. Jimmy apeaks with physician Meryl Nass, who has been an instrumental agent of opposition to draconian COVID response in the U.S., about this plan to put the WHO in charge of our lives. Plus a segment on Boeing’s screwup CEO walking away from the company with millions of dollars as punishment. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!

Agents of Wall Street, the defense industry, Silicon Valley and other powerful interests are working under the radar to persuade municipalities across Latin America to essentially sell off control of vast swaths of public lands for use as carbon credits. The claim is that the land will be protected while also generating income for these communities. Except that, not surprisingly, the powerful interests driving these efforts have far more nefarious reasons for wanting to control Latin American rainforests. Author and investigative journalist Whitney Webb explains to Jimmy the interconnectedness of this carbon offsets power grab with vaccine passports, digital currency, and mass surveillance. Plus segments on the likelihood that a so-called “smart” border wall will add a new and even more invasive wrinkle to the burgeoning security state and New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s insulting comments about black children.

Remember during the days of the COVID vaccine rollout when many media figures, among them CNN’s Chris Cuomo, were shaming the unvaccinated and maligning Ivermectin users for taking “horse medicine?” If so you’re going to be surprised to learn that Cuomo is now suffering from a form of long COVID (or maybe long vaxx?) and he’s treating his condition with — get this — Ivermectin. Jimmy unloads both barrels on the rank hypocrisy the “journalist” Cuomo is exhibiting by refusing to apologize for getting COVID so terribly wrong after shaming other people who got it right. Plus segments on AstraZeneca officially pulling its vaccine from European markets and Bernie Sanders ramping up his criticism of Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. Also featuring Russell Dobular, Max Blumenthal, Keaton Weiss and Kurt Metzger!

Chris Cuomo used to be among the media’s biggest COVID vaccine pushers, frequently appearing alongside fellow CNN host Don Lemon to excoriate the unvaccinated, insisting they shouldn’t be allowed to go to the grocery store, to sporting events or really participate in any social gatherings. Except now it turns out that Cuomo himself was injured by the vaxx, and he’s singing a very different tune, pledging to get to the bottom of just how harmful these vaccines really were. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the about face from the former CNN host and whether the tide is now turning to the point where other mainstream media representatives can also begin to question the COVID narrative. Plus segments on a recent New York Times piece highlighting the plight of the vaxx injured and an interview with economics professor Richard Wolff about what Marxism really means.

In a bipartisan fashion the United States House of Representatives has passed the “Antisemitism Awareness Act,” a transparent evisceration of the first amendment’s free speech protections. If the bill passes the Senate and is signed by President Biden, virtually all criticism of Israel or Jews will be illegal. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the shocking abandonment of the nation’s core values this bill represents. Plus a segment on the scam dermatologists have been perpetrating against Americans over sun exposure and skin cancer while raking in millions since the 1980s.

Howard Stern has transformed from the over-the-top, say anything shock jock that made him famous in the ‘90s into a bootlicking shill for the establishment. This was never more on display than during the recent interview with Joe Biden, who received a tongue bath from Stern worthy of any MSNBC anchor. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Stern has always been this way or the $400 million he got from Sirius XM turned him into a rank elite apologist. Plus segments on the string of lies Biden spewed during his interview with Stern and Donald Trump’s recent decision to abandon his "America First" agenda to throw his full-throated support behind Israel. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Jeff Bridges, man!

SNL’s Colin Jost hosted this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and after poking mild fun at Joe Biden over his age and slumping poll numbers, concluded the evening by praising the President for his “decency.” Not mentioned — Biden’s long record of racism, support for segregationists, near-constant warmongering and the litany of lies he’s told over the years — he’s just a decent guy! Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Jimmy, Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss and The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal to discuss how the WHCT has turned into a mockery of itself and a tribute to stenography and deference to power rather than journalism. Plus segments on a Zionist false flag shout of “Kill the Jews!” that got campus protesters’ encampment cleared by police and the Biden administration’s desperate efforts to keep the ICC from issuing arrest warrants for Israeli leaders on war crimes charges.

House Speaker Mike Johnson recently traveled to Columbia to add his voice to the chorus of recriminations against pro-Palestinian protesters on campus while also continuing to peddle debunked allegations against Hamas. In response, he got to face recriminations of his own in the form of jeers from the Columbia students chanting “Mike, you suck!” Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by his Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss to discuss Johnson’s genocide support. Plus a segment about the disturbing revelations at a Khan Yunis hospital of mass graves holding nearly 400 bodies, some showing signs of torture, and Israel’s attempts to deflect responsibility.

Since its inception Tesla’s much-ballyhooed Cybertruck has faced production woes and manufacturing quality issues. The latest concern: a faulty gas pedal that sticks, resulting in a recall of all Cybertrucks currently on the road. Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger and Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss to discuss why anyone would have purchased a vehicle plagued by so many problems. Plus segments on MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough effecting a surprise about-face on Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the truth leaking out about why Mehdi Hasan’s MSNBC show was canceled. Also featuring Mischa Paullin!

After much debate, consternation and wheeling and dealing, House Speaker Mike Johnson has navigated a series of bills to provide more than $90 billion in war funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Republicans were much more likely to oppose the bills, in particular the Ukraine funding, but Johnson pushed the funding through primarily with the help of Democrats. Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Jimmy, Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger and Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss to discuss whether Democrats will help Johnson retain his speakership if members of the Freedom Caucus move to oust him. Plus segments on the Senate renewing warrantly surveillance to allow the intelligence agencies to continue spying on Americans and Tucker Carlson claiming that those intelligence agencies have the entire Congress terrified about their darkest secrets coming out. Also featuring Mischa Paullin!

Young, handsome, famous and profiled in the New York Times? Life is pretty sweet for Jackson Hinkle, even if the Times profile in question consists of equal parts smear job and puff piece. In fact, the entire article is riddled with innuendo, aspersions and intimations — without any actual evidence — that Hinkle is spreading misinformation and is being paid by nefarious foreign governments. Oh, and he pockets money given to him by supporters online! Imagine! Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Hinkle about the unusual coverage he received care of the New York Times. Plus a segment on the recent Congressional vote to gut Americans’ 4th amendment privacy rights.

Veteran NPR editor Uri Berliner has blown the whistle on how the publicly-funded broadcaster has become an activist organization obsessed with pushing progressive ideals. Berliner argues that NPR has gone from a respected information source to one that can no longer be trusted to honestly cover the news. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why NPR sucks so terribly. Plus segments on comedian Bill Burr’s takedown of the argument that WNBA players should be paid more and GOP Congress members Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Thomas Massie moving to vacate the Speakership of MIke Johnson. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Al Pacino!

Former Iraqi weapons inspector Scott Ritter has emerged as one of the premier critics of American foreign policy, and lately has set his sights on Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza and the recent strikes on Israel from Iran. The strikes were much more successful than the mainstream media is letting on, he tells Jimmy, and shocked Israel with how well they circumvented the much-vaunted Iron Dome defense system. Ritter joins Jimmy to explain just how calamitously Israel’s defenses performed against the Iranian aerial assault and why the outcome is either an ignominious defeat for Israel or a dramatic and globally perilous escalation. Plus a segment on RFK Jr.’s announcement that he was offered the VP spot by the Trump campaign but turned it down. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

Investigative journalist Lee Fang appeared on The Jimmy Dore Show to describe the sprawling constellation of media outlets in Ukraine, organized with substantial funding and direction from the U.S. government, that has supported strong censorship laws and shutdowns of dissident outlets, disseminated disinformation of its own, and sought to silence critics of the war, including Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald and Aaron Maté. American taxpayers are indirectly funding their own censorship to aid the floundering Ukraine war effort, Fang tells Jimmy. Plus a segment on a secret recording of a CIA agent revealing the agency’s targeting of Alex Jones. Also featuring Keaton Weiss, Russell Dobular and Mike MacRae. And phone calls from Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer!

While establishment support for the Israeli assault on Gaza has been nearly unanimous, a few Squad members notwithstanding, additional fissures have recently emerged in that wall of consensus. Specifically, the list of Israel critics has recently added prominent powerful figures including Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Richard Haass and even an advisor to former Bush administration official Condoleezza Rice. Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Due Dissidence’s Keaton Weiss and Jimmy Dore to discuss just what might have sparked this recent volte-face from former Israel hard-liners. Plus segments on The Young Turks’ host Cenk Uygur teasing support for RFK Jr. in the upcoming presidential election before calling for “sure winner” Jon Stewart to jump into the race and former Obama administration Defense Secretary Leon Panetta tacitly accusing Israel of war crimes.

Donald Trump has — finally, after much delay — weighed in on the abortion issue. And his position is that he did a great thing by appointing Supreme Court Justices who would overturn Roe v Wade but now the decision about whether to ban abortion, or after what period of gestation to make such bans, should be left to the states. It’s a deeply political stance without much in terms of conviction, and could risk a reaction from his ardent evangelical base. Guest host Russell Dobular and his Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss discuss Trump’s alleged sentimentality around babies and the “miracle of life.” Plus segments on The Rock refusing to endorse Biden again and Israel’s determined effort to drag the United States into World War III. Also featuring Mischa Paullin!

Popular podcaster Joe Rogan reacted strongly to what he felt was a demonstrably dunderheaded discussion about race by the hosts of The View while speaking with author and journalist Coleman Hughes, “It is the show that people love to hate,” Rogan said. “They get so much hate-watching … and viral clips of them saying ridiculous things. It is a rabies-infested hen house. Guest host Russell Dobular and his Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss discuss The View's handling of Hughes' perspectives on race and Rogan's assessment of the show. Also featuring segments on Joe Biden's increasing frustration with Benjamin Netanyahu over Gaza and Joe Scarborough's pointed questions to an Israeli spokesman about the Israeli government's past support for Hamas.

Israel killed seven aid workers operating in Gaza, spurring international outrage. The aid workers hailed from Australia, Britain and the US, among other nations, and were driving in vehicles clearly marked as aid trucks and with the approval of the IDF. Now, as a result, other aid organizations are pulling out of Gaza, increasing the likelihood that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians will face starvation in the near future. Guest host Russell Dobular and his Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss, along with Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, discuss the sheer inhumanity of the Israeli government’s willingness to massacre so many Palestinians. Plus a segment on California’s new $20/hour minimum wage for fast food workers going into effect. Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae. And phone calls from Joe Biden and Liam Neeson!

Since the October 7th Hamas attacks and the subsequent Israeli military assault on Gaza, many prominent “free speech warriors” on the right have exposed themselves as no different from the censorship-crazed “Woke” left they ridicule and excoriate. Most recently Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin sat down to explain away how it was OK for Shapiro’s Daily Wire to part ways with Candace Owens over the latter’s comments critical of Israel. Guest host Russell Dobular and his Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss discuss this incredible ass-showing from Shapiro and Rubin. Plus segments on Joe Biden being accused of desecrating the Easter holiday by celebrating trans visibility, Israel escalating the conflict in the Middle East by bombing Iran’s embassy in Damascus, Syria, and the Israel Defense Force pulling out of Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, leaving a trail of destruction and dead civilians in their wake. Also featuring Mischa Paullin!
