The Jimmy Dore Show
Former Navy SEAL Team Six operator Rob O'Neill and Brigadier General Blaine Holt both argue that Charlie Kirk's death was not caused by a rifle bullet but by an explosion under his shirt—likely from a microphone pack—citing the way his shirt "puffed up" and the exit wound location inconsistent with a 30.06 round. O'Neill points out numerous inconsistencies in the official narrative, including a screwdriver left on the roof that wouldn't work, the shooter allegedly reassembling the rifle without it, and texting in broken English. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight...

Jimmy’s guest, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, argues that Trump is exhibiting "demonstrable signs of early dementia" based on his erratic behavior, including personal insults against Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, the Pope, and others, while ignoring that Iran already submitted a peace plan 14 days ago that Trump refuses to accept. Johnson explains that Iran's willingness to return to the JCPOA nuclear deal is genuine, citing their refusal to use chemical weapons against Iraq in the 1980s despite being attacked with them, due to religious beliefs against such weapons. Johnson also...

Jimmy speaks with Professor Xueqin Jiang about the recent US seizure of an Iranian cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which Scott Ritter labeled an "act of piracy" and a violation of the ceasefire. Jiang argues the ceasefire is pure theater, allowing the US to build up 60,000 troops for a three-pronged attack involving a naval blockade, arming ethnic insurgents, and bombing Iranian civilian infrastructure like power and water plants to force surrender. Jiang also warns that if the US resumes the war, Iran will strike Gulf Arab states and Israel hard, potentially knocking out...

Investigative journalist Steve Baker joins Jimmy to reveal that forensic gait analysis—using both AI (94% match) and human experts (98% match)—identifies former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kirkoff as the January 5th pipe bomber, not Brian Cole Jr., who Baker argues is being framed. Baker claims the devices were inert and that Kirkoff believed she was participating in a training exercise, noting she knew hidden blind spots and a secret gate, and that two plainclothes Capitol Police officers went directly to the bomb locations the next day. Baker adds that Kirkoff was already a CIA...

Donald Trump has executed a complete flip-flop on FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) — after previously campaigning to "kill FISA" when the law was used against him during the Russiagate investigation, he is now demanding a clean extension of FISA 702 without warrant requirements. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that FISA allows the government to spy on Americans unconstitutionally without real warrants, and that Trump is betraying his supporters by aligning with the same establishment he once opposed. Speaker Mike Johnson is also called a hypocrite for...
info_outlineThe Jimmy Dore Show
Jimmy Dore analyzes Donald Trump's absurd threat to "blockade" the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran already controls and has been charging $2 million per ship to allow passage, while military experts like Scott Ritter and Larry Johnson explain that any U.S. attempt to board foreign ships would be an act of war—and that U.S. naval vessels are staying 700 miles from the Iranian coast after being driven back by drone attacks. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger point out that Trump will simultaneously beg for a ceasefire and threaten to bomb Iran again, all while admitting gas prices...

The political world was stunned this week by Melania Trump's sudden, unexplained televised address denying any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and calling for a congressional hearing for Epstein survivors—a move that reportedly blindsided the West Wing. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger connect the event to Trump’s longtime associate Paolo Zampoli (a friend of Epstein who allegedly introduced Trump to Melania), whose ex-partner Amanda Ungaro—an Epstein survivor deported after a custody dispute—is now publicly threatening to "tear down the entire system" and expose...

Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins Jimmy to analyze the chaotic Iran ceasefire negotiations, noting that Trump initially appeared to accept Iran's humiliating 10-point plan (including U.S. troop withdrawal, reparations, and surrender of the Strait of Hormuz) before his press secretary responded to the backlash by claiming that plan was "literally thrown in the garbage.” Macgregor explains that Trump wants to end the war but is trapped by Israeli interests, with Netanyahu's phone call scuttling the inclusion of Lebanon in the ceasefire—proving Israel calls the shots. He warns that Iran...

Jimmy deconstructs Donald Trump's absurd press conference Monday where the President tried to spin the loss of a U.S. fighter jet (shot down over Iran) as a victory, with Trump at one point bizarrely acting as if his team had just discovered the expression “like finding a needle in a haystack." Jimmy also highlights the clownish spectacle of CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth engaging in an "ass-kissing fest," praising Trump's "political courage" to send others to war while he received deferments. He notes that Trump simultaneously threatens to "take Iran...

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Theo Von's recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, where Von bluntly called Israel the "real terrorist" and urged Israelis to "stand in front of the mirror" when looking for the problem. Jimmy responds to criticism of Trump voters by noting that the alternative was Kamala Harris—who openly supported the Gaza genocide and the Ukraine proxy war—while Trump at least had a first-term track record of not starting new wars. He argues that Americans are finally realizing the ballot box offers two options that both serve the same...
info_outlineJimmy and former weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst Scott Ritter break down the stunning geopolitical shift underway that finds a desperate Donald Trump, facing strategic defeat in Iran, lifting all sanctions on Russian oil and begging Russian president Vladimir Putin for help—with Kremlin economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev now meeting U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff in Miami to broker the bargain.
Ritter tells Jimmy that Russia holds all the cards: with the Strait of Hormuz closed, global energy markets are collapsing, and only Russia can supply oil to Asia and Europe, solving its economic problems overnight while the U.S. runs out of missiles and faces economic catastrophe.
The potential deal would see America withdraw from the Middle East, lift sanctions on Iran, and constrain Israel—allowing Trump to claim "peacemaker" cover for a humiliating retreat. Ritter concludes this is 100% happening because the U.S. has no other option, and the only question is whether Israel can be stopped from destroying regional energy infrastructure entirely.
Plus segments on Iran’s ingenious low-tech approach to avoiding Israeli rocket interceptors, the serious privacy concerns surrounding Meta’s new AI glasses and Israel’s false flag attack to lure Turkey and the EU into the war on Iran.
