The Jimmy Dore Show

Laura Ingraham catches Trump off guard during a Fox interview, challenging his claim that 600,000 Chinese students are essential for U.S. colleges. Outrage brews among his MAGA base, which feels betrayed by his shift away from 'America First' ideals. The duo debates national security risks and the H-1B visa program, exposing rifts in Trump’s policies. Additionally, they tackle misleading claims about food prices and the healthcare system, as Jimmy dissects how these moves may alienate his supporters.

Nick Cruse, co-founder of the Revolutionary Blackout Network and citizen journalist, discusses the recent government shutdown and the political theater surrounding it. He critiques the Democrats for caving to Republican demands, particularly regarding Affordable Care Act subsidies. The conversation dives into both parties' failures to serve working-class Americans and highlights the urgency for systemic reform. Additionally, JD Vance provides a quirky phone-in segment, adding a dash of humor to the serious political discourse.

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!
