In this episode Jimmy discusses the controversial Cornell University sexual-assault case involving a former student who alleged that seven fraternity members gang-raped her while she was intoxicated and using ketamine. The discussion highlights Sunny Hostin's legal analysis that, under her interpretation of New York law, voluntary intoxication alone does not automatically establish inability to consent, and it emphasizes details from the earlier statement describing consensual sexual activity, boundaries being respected, and the difficulty prosecutors would face proving criminal charges beyond a reasonable doubt.  Jimmy cites Glenn Greenwald who focuses on due process and the presumption of innocence, criticizing the public dissemination of the accused students' names and photographs and comparing the controversy to the Duke lacrosse case, while Stef Zamorano emphasizes the seriousness of the allegations and the effects of alcohol and ketamine on everyone involved. The segment concludes with criticism of political and social-media reactions to the case, including comments by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while arguing that alleged misconduct, criminal liability, and public punishment without a conviction should be distinguished. Plus segments on the recent US military decision to pull out of Iraq entirely and President Trump expressing support for Flock cameras. Also featuring Col. Lawrence Wilkerson and Mischa Paullin!

This segment focuses on Candace Owens's response to an independent investigation into security failures surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with Owens accusing Turning Point USA and its leadership of withholding information and attacking critics who questioned the official account. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Owens's allegations about Erica Kirk, Blake Neff, and Andrew Kolvet and the organization's handling of the investigation, while presenting various claims about internal relationships, security decisions, and possible conflicts.  The discussion broadens into the hosts' longstanding skepticism of the official narrative surrounding Kirk's death, their criticism of political influencers and media figures who accept the FBI narrative, and their broader argument that powerful institutions use personal attacks and political labels to discourage scrutiny. The episode concludes with the hosts connecting their views about government, war, political power, and the Charlie Kirk investigation to their broader criticism of Donald Trump and other political institutions. Plus segments on the new pro-pedo film about Dateline's Chris Hansen and To Catch a Predator, Maine Senator Susan Collins getting caught taking bribes and Tyler Robinson's father reportedly claiming his son never confessed to killing Charlie Kirk. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Troop movements and other indicators suggest the Trump administration is preparing for a major expansion of U.S. military operations against Iran, including a possible ground operation. So says retired Col. Douglas Macgregor as he examines reports of deployments, weapons, aircraft, personnel and other substantial U.S. military preparations in the region, although this does not guarantee that a full-scale ground invasion has been ordered.  Jimmy discusses the logistical difficulties and risks of a ground invasion, including the size and distribution of U.S. forces, air and missile defenses, and Iran's terrain and military capabilities. He also criticizes U.S. foreign policy and argues that the conflict could continue or escalate after the November midterm elections, while reporting indicates that U.S. officials have considered both additional military action and diplomatic negotiations. Plus segments on Benjamin Netanyahu's recent appearance at the United Nations General Assembly, Tucker Carlson's upsetting description of his meeting with Trump prior to the Iran War and Syrian President al-Jolani's refusal to discuss his al-Qaeda background and 9/11. Also featuring Mischa Paullin, Chris Keene and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!

In this episode, Jimmy discusses Glenn Greenwald's recent appearance on Piers Morgan's program, focusing on a debate with former Mumford & Sons band member Winston Marshall over Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, political expression by musicians, and comparisons between the Free Palestine movement and Black Lives Matter. Greenwald argues that Sheeran's criticism and pressure surrounding Macklemore's removal from his tour should be distinguished from the kind of public criticism Sheeran has received. The discussion then expands into allegations about Israel's conduct in Gaza, civilian casualties, the October 7 attacks, and the treatment of journalists, with Jimmy pointing to the estimated 75,000+ violent deaths in Gaza through early January 2025, with women, children, and older people comprising 56.2% of those deaths, while CPJ has documented very high numbers of journalists killed in the conflict.  The segment concludes with broader arguments about celebrity political responsibility, censorship, artistic expression, and whether wealthy entertainers should publicly take positions on contentious political issues. Plus segments on Trump's hamfisted effort to ban CNN & MSNOW reporters from the White House, why Trump's latest threat to nuke Iran should be taken seriously and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani caving to pressure and abandoning threats to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. Also featuring Mischa Paullin, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

In this episode Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger mock Ed Sheeran's recent response to the outcry after he banned Macklemore from his tour over Gaza, focusing on Sheeran's statement on stage that the situation in Gaza is "catastrophic and unjustifiable" while emphasizing that his shows should remain centered on "unity." Jimmy lights into Sheeran, pointing out that his "both sides" remarks ignore the political context of the conflict and questions his decision to perform at venues associated with people or institutions connected to Israel.  The discussion also covers reactions from pro-Palestinian activists, criticism of Sheeran's subsequent apology for discussing Gaza during the concert, and broader arguments about celebrity influence, wealth, and political speech. The segment concludes by encouraging viewers to look beyond political divisions and scrutinize the relationships between entertainers, wealthy donors, governments, and media institutions. Plus segments on Israel's cratering popularity among the American public and Children Health Defense's Mary Talley Bowden writing a letter to Trump and RFK threatening to pull support from the MAHA movement. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel!

Jimmy argues that the United States operates under a form of "socialism for the rich," where government policies and financial interventions transfer wealth upward while ordinary workers face stagnant wages, inflation, high housing costs, and economic insecurity. He criticizes bank bailouts, quantitative easing, military spending, corporate subsidies, and the influence of Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and other powerful industries, arguing that these policies disproportionately benefit wealthy interests.  He also discusses Medicare, unions, immigration, homelessness, and policing, maintaining that public anger is deliberately directed toward poorer people, immigrants, or political opponents instead of toward institutions and wealthy interests that he believes drive economic inequality. The central message is that working- and middle-class Americans should avoid turning against one another and instead recognize our shared economic struggle against an oligarchic system. Plus segments on Fox News host Jesse Watters downplaying Macklemore's calls for "Free Palestine," Trump caving to the Houthis in Yemen over the Red Sea and Candace Owens calling BS on the recent defacing of Charlie Kirk's statue at TPUSA. Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Chris Keene!

After Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour for saying "Free Palestine," Sheeran's opening acts and band quit, citing Zionist lobbying and solidarity with Palestinians. Sheeran defended himself by claiming Macklemore's contract was with the promoter, not him, and said he wouldn't abandon fans, crew, or other acts—but Jimmy argues that Sheeran did abandon Macklemore and is complicit in censorship.  Jimmy contends all art is political, neutrality in injustice favors the oppressor, and Sheeran cannot claim to be apolitical while letting a billionaire silence pro-Palestine speech. The segment also ties the controversy to broader entertainment-industry power, including agent Casey Wasserman's Epstein links and Netanyahu praise, framing it as part of Zionist control and double standards. Plus segments on the coming "cyber pandemic" that will be used by elites as an excuse to steal your savings and the $2.8 billion weapons "sale" to Israel that YOU are paying for!

Guest host Garland Nixon and Hard Lens Media's Kit Cabello discuss Macklemore being removed from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour after shouting "Free Palestine" at a recent MetLife Stadium show. Macklemore posted on Instagram that Robert Kraft threatened to block Sheeran's show from Gillette Stadium and rallied other venue owners, forcing Sheeran to choose between keeping Macklemore and retaining access to their venues.  At the same time the Israeli American Council petitioned to have Macklemore dropped, while Pink and Boy George also criticized him, all of which the hosts frame as billionaire and Israel-linked censorship of artistic free speech. They argue that if venue owners can silence Macklemore for pro-Palestine speech, they can do the same to any artist who steps out of line, making it a free-speech issue for everyone. Plus segments on the Houthis in Yemen capturing abandoned American military hardware and Twitter banning user "Parody Jeff" for getting Grok to admit that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from John Goodman and Jeff Bridges!

In the segment, guest host Garland Nixon is joined by antiwar.com's Kyle Anzalone to discuss Iran's devastating attacks on the U.S. Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain, which is so badly damaged that U.S. personnel cannot even return to retrieve personal effects, exposing Trump's claims that Iran is defeated as lies. The two highlight how Bahrain's majority Shia population cheered Iranian missile strikes because the U.S. base enforces the Sunni monarchy's oppression, and that Iran's attacks also caused supply problems for the USS Abraham Lincoln.  Anzalone argues the war strategy was disastrous and wasteful, as billions spent on vulnerable bases could have improved America, and the conflict is destabilizing the U.S. economically and politically. They predict Republicans will be wiped out in midterms but warn Democrats will not change foreign policy, as both parties serve the same interests, as evinced by Hakeem Jeffries's recent meeting with Jared Kushner and many Democrats pushing for MORE aggression against Iran. Plus segments on Hillary Clinton accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of having foreknowledge of the October 7th attacks, George W. Bush continuing to push lies about 9/11 and Trump letting it slip that the best way to avoid being attacked by the United States is to develop nuclear weapons. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mischa Paullin and Sam Husseini!

In this segment Jimmy discusses a new report that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu roughly 10 days before October 7, 2023, that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a major operation that could destabilize the region. The report, published by Haaretz and based on reporting by Israeli journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, says the warning came during a reported 45-minute phone call, while Netanyahu's office has strongly denied that the call or warning occurred and the UAE has declined to confirm or deny the specific conversation.  Jimmy connects the report to earlier reporting that Israeli officials had obtained Hamas's attack plan before October 7 and to broader questions about intelligence failures, while he mocks late-to-the-party Piers Morgan for being shocked and outraged by these reports. The segment concludes with Jimmy discussing an upcoming appearance on Morgan's program to debate skepticism of the official 9/11 narrative. Plus segments on reports Erika Kirk is planning to step down as CEO of TPUSA, accusations that Israel is starting wildfires in hostile countries, Ukrainian President Zelensky's threats against commercial aircraft in Russia and TPUSA's Blake Neff and Andrew Kolvet walking back statements about Tyler Robinson confessing to killing Charlie Kirk. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from George Clooney!

In this segment Jimmy argues that the U.S. political system is an oligarchy controlled by billionaires and corporate interests, where elections are rigged and the government works against the working class. He calls for a nonviolent worker-led revolution—suggesting that railroad, port, and truck workers shut down the economy and force demands like public financing of elections and a constitutional amendment to ban corporate money in politics.  He points to economic data (70% living paycheck to paycheck, 100 million with medical debt) as evidence that voting cannot fix the system, and criticizes Marjorie Taylor Greene's proposed third party for potentially allowing billionaire influence. He contrasts the U.S. with China, where the government sits "above capital" and provides universal healthcare and high homeownership, arguing that American workers must unite across political divides to overthrow the system. Plus segments on the ADL admitting to regular clandestine meetings of powerful Jewish groups and an interview with former Congressman Curt Weldon about his investigation into what really brought down the twin towers on 9/11. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the recent savage takedown Dave Smith handed to Alan Dershowitz's on the Mario Nawfal show. Dershowitz said that Smith's criticism of Israel and pointing out the former OJ Simpson lawyer's alleged "disproportionate loyalty" amounted to antisemitism. Smith responded that criticizing a foreign government or questioning an individual's foreign-policy priorities should not automatically be treated as antisemitic, a position Jimmy strongly supports.  The discussion then broadens into harsh criticism of Israel and Zionism, including discussion of the history of Israel's creation, Palestinian displacement, Gaza, and the Israel-Gaza conflict.  Plus segments on Speaker Johnson dismissing House members to avoid having to vote on Thomas Massie's latest Epstein files bill and an interview with journalist Steve Baker about new details in the DC Pipe Bomber case! Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Joined by his live show panelists, Jimmy examines allegations surrounding Donald Trump's extensive stock trading activity while in office, focusing on ethics filings that revealed thousands of trades involving hundreds of millions of dollars. The group questions potential conflicts of interest by highlighting trades that coincided with government announcements or actions affecting companies in Trump's portfolio, while also mocking financial commentator Jim Cramer's reaction when asked about the issue.  Jimmy argues that neither major political party is likely to aggressively investigate presidential stock trading and connects the discussion to broader allegations involving Trump's cryptocurrency ventures and political influence, including several unsubstantiated claims. The segment concludes with Dore criticizing what he describes as systemic political corruption. Plus segments on Thomas Massie naming names of Epstein co-conspirators on the House floor, actor Mark Ruffalo calling out the Paramount-Oracle merger, Benjamin Netanyahu telling Israelis that he controls the United States and Bill Gates newest project: AI-based deadly viruses. Also featuring Sam Tripoli, Stef Zamorano and Bobby Miyamoto!

Jimmy Dore and his live panel guests question the official narrative surrounding the investigation into Charlie Kirk's killing, focusing on conflicting claims about whether clear video exists showing the alleged shooter taking the shot. He highlights statements from figures including Benny Johnson, Jack Posobiec, and Buckley Carlson and argues that the descriptions of the available footage from the first two are inconsistent with testimony presented by the lead investigator.  Jimmy expands his criticism to include the FBI, Trump administration officials, media personalities, and commentators whom he accuses of promoting or defending the cover-up, while also discussing broader skepticism toward government investigations. The segment concludes with Jimmy questioning several political and media figures over their handling of the case, Israel-related issues, and the Epstein files, while framing skepticism toward official narratives as necessary. Plus segments on Trump renaming Lake Ontario, the scaremongering aroung the latest measles "outbreak" and Marjorie Taylor Greene's vindication over "Jewish Space Lasers." Also featuring Sam Tripoli, Stef Zamorano, Bobby Miyamoto and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jeff Bridges!

The Trump administration has designated the UK activist group Palestine Action as a "specially designated global terrorist organization," focusing on the group's property-damage campaigns against Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems. Jimmy points out how governments are increasingly broadening the definition of "terrorism" to encompass virtually any political activism, protest, property damage, and financial support the government objects to, raising concerns about free speech and government power.  Jimmy also contrasts the treatment of Palestine Action with the changing U.S. designation of Syria as a state sponsor of terrorism after the country was taken over by a bona fide terrorist, while portraying Western policy toward Israel and Palestine as deeply inconsistent. Throughout, he connects these developments to broader concerns about political repression, surveillance, civil liberties, and the weaponization of terrorism designations. Plus segments on Jimmy once again ratio-ing Andrew Wilson for pushing the phony Tyler Robinson narrative and a Florida town using fake Flock cameras to entrap an anti-surveillance activist for vandalism. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!
