The Jimmy Dore Show

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 investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

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 shady financial dealings at Turning Point USA and online "bounty" deals that reward influential social media operators for spreading propaganda. Also featuring Ryan Matta and Stef Zamorano!

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 Zamorano!

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. Plus segments on Megyn Kelly accusing Shapiro of amplifying antisemitism, Steve Bannon going scorched earth on Shapiro and accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson's defense team's curious ties to the Turning Point USA team. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a series of well-wishing holiday phone calls to Jimmy from George Clooney, Kash Patel, JD Vance and more!

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 the brutal backlash CBS News head Bari Weiss faced after killing a 60 Minutes story on the Trump administration sending migrants to a notorious El Salvadoran prison, Donald Trump defending Bill Clinton against Epstein charges and TPUSA setting up a Charlie Kirk "death tent" at events for fans to take selfies. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

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. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Jeff Bridges!

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. Plus segments on Australia's crackdown on free speech after the Bondi Beach attack, Tucker Carlson's expert clapback at Ben Shapiro and Erika Kirk's latest lie. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel!

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. Plus segments on Tim Pool contradicting himself in statements about Candace Owens' security, Trump openly admitting he is bought by the Israel lobby and Erika Kirk getting caught in a lie about Egyptian planes. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

While the mainstream news media will continue portraying the recent mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia as an antisemitic terror attack, a much more likely conclusion is that this was a "false flag" act of terrorism conducted by supporters of Zionism to rally support for their cause and mute criticism of Israel's genocide in Gaza. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger note that media narratives quickly blamed Muslims, ISIS, and Iran while dismissing alternative explanations. Jimmy cites past incidents in Australia and the United States involving hoax threats allegedly traced to Israeli individuals, and highlights reporting that Australian police previously investigated paid actors carrying out antisemitic crimes. Plus segments on Erika Kirk panicking and flying to Nashville to meet with Candace Owens, the U.S.-driven border clash between Thailand and Cambodia and the real reason the Tyler Robinson footage is being suppressed. Also featuring Candace Owens, Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from George Clooney!

Jimmy speaks with Candace Owens about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death, questioning the speed and certainty of official narratives and criticizing figures who immediately declared who was or wasn't responsible. Owens describes being shocked by what she sees as coordinated media behavior, donor pressure, and a rapid effort to control Kirk's legacy, in particular by right-wing figures like Tim Pool and Glenn Beck, framing this effort as part of a broader fight against Zionist influence in conservative media. The two compare these tactics to past moments like during COVID, the BLM protests, and the JFK assassination, arguing that shaming people for asking questions is a familiar psychological strategy used to shut down inquiry. The discussion ends with Owens asserting that despite money, institutional power, and mainstream media alignment against her, public trust is shifting toward independent voices because truth resonates more than enforced consensus. Plus segments on Twitter AI program Grok dismantling the FBI narrative about Charlie Kirk's shooting, Erika Kirk accidentally contradicting her colleagues at TPUSA about Mikey McCoy's reaction to Charlie's shooting, and an FBI official's cringeworthy response to questions about Antifa's designation as a terrorist organization. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

In this segment Jimmy dissects Erika Kirk's recent Fox News interview, pointing out that her outrage comes across as theatrical and designed to deflect from mounting questions about alleged inconsistencies surrounding Charlie Kirk's death. He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight how TPUSA figures—including security personnel and commentators—have been caught in multiple contradictions, fueling suspicion of a coordinated cover-up. Jimmy contrasts Erica Kirk's fury directed at critics of the official FBI story with her lack of anger toward the alleged killer, framing this as narrative protection rather than genuine grief. The video ultimately portrays TPUSA's leadership as suppressing inquiry, ignoring evidence, and betraying Charlie Kirk's own ethos of inviting tough questions. Plus segments on the Trump administration's admissions that tariffs are causing higher prices and Tucker Carlson breaking his silence on the Charlie Kirk assassination narrative. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Megyn Kelly's latest cottony softball interview with Kash Patel about the Charlie Kirk assassination case is a thing to behold, as Kelly avoids asking any meaningful follow-up questions and serves as a more-than-willing conduit for FBI talking points. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger dissect inconsistencies in the official narrative—especially the text messages allegedly exchanged by suspect Tyler Robinson—which they frame as implausible, badly written, and indicative of a larger coverup. They also highlight what they call contradictions in Patel's past statements, questionable behavior by TPUSA personnel, and the alleged shutdown of counterterrorism inquiries that might have explored foreign involvement. Throughout the segment, the two argue the investigation is part of a broader pattern of FBI coverups, selective enforcement, and coordinated narrative control involving TPUSA, the media, and U.S. authorities. Plus segments on the shady financial dealings going on behind the scenes at TPUSA and the chaotic scene on the set at CNN when two panelists throw down over the Trump administration's boat bombings near Venezuela. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

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.
