The Jimmy Dore Show

On Tuesday the United Nations Security Council welcomed a very surprising speaker — comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore! Jimmy explained about how the United States was behind the Nord Stream bombing and the western media all fell in line to push the lie that Russia or Ukraine or someone else was responsible. Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Jimmy's UN appearance and journalist Seymour Hersh's startling revelation that the Nord Stream bombing wasn't actually about the Ukraine War at all. Plus a segment on the inexplicable standing ovation offered by the entire Canadian Parliament to a 98-year-old former Ukrainian Nazi soldier Also featuring Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Chuck Schumer and Jake Tapper!

Back when he was a hard-partying movie star, Russell Brand was the darling of the mainstream media. But ever since the British comedian started turning hard against the establishment, exposing the mainstream narrative on COVID, the Ukraine War and empire, the knives have been out for him. And now we know how they plan to get him, with a series of questionable rape allegations emerging from anonymous sources in his distant past. Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why the establishment would have determined that Brand had to be disappeared from the discourse. Plus a segment on actor Sean Penn's insane push toward the brink of World War III over Ukraine. Also featuring Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Mitt Romney and Vince Vaughn!

Bad Faith Podcast host Briahna Joy Gray recently sat down with Breaking Points host Krystal Ball and her husband to discuss the question that has been roiling the online left for a decade or longer — are Democrats really any better than Republicans? Gray refused to concede that the Biden administration's alleged “accomplishments” require that leftists vote for him as a means of stopping Donald Trump. Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and The Miserable Liberal Stef Zamorano discuss Kyle and Krystal's heel turn to MSNBC Lite. Plus a segment hosted by Jimmy with Craig "Pasta" Jardula and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talking about California Governor Gavin Newsom's recent admission that he got COVID all wrong. Also featuring Mike MacRae! And phone calls from President Biden and Al Pacino!

If Dr. Cornel West hopes for his Green Party presidential bid to take off, he's going to have to appeal to a wide swath of the voting public, including disaffected Democrats and Republicans, as well as independents. Whether he can achieve that objective by constantly beating the drums for trans rights and about white supremacy was a key bone of contention during his recent interview with Jimmy Dore. Jimmy argued in favor of an electoral strategy based on a solid foundation of economic justice while Dr. West said he would never stop talking about white supremacy and trans rights. Plus a segment with Craig "Pasta" Jardula and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger on the Washington Post admitting that Joe Biden is a serial liar. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from President Biden and Barack Obama!

Independent media outlet The Grayzone recently conducted a fundraiser on GoFundMe to help support the publication's investigative journalism team. But after collecting more than $90,000, The Grayzone publisher Max Blumenthal received an email telling him that for reasons that remained obscure, the funds would not be disbursed. Jimmy and Max discuss this effort to stifle independent journalism and the similar experience faced by the Canadian trucker protesters and African journalist Simon Ateba. Plus a segment with Craig "Pasta" Jardula on retired British nurse instructor and YouTuber's investigation into the revolving door between industry and government. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Chuck Schumer and Andrew Cuomo!

The devastating fires in Maui will require billions in funds to facilitate the island's recovery. And while Congress is currently negotiating relief funds for Hawaii, there's also the pressing need for additional billions in military spending to Ukraine. Which is why the debate over sending money to Hawaii is being tied to twice as much money being sent to Ukraine. Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula, along with Jimmy Dore and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss reports that FEMA is running out of money just when Hawaii is in desperate need. Plus segments on the U.S.'s involvement in the recent ouster of Pakistani leader Imran Khan and Alex Jones' prediction about the imminent return of COVID restrictions. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Liam Neeson!

Now that the pharmaceutical industry has made its hundreds of billions from vaccines, and despite an all out smear campaign the agency itself participated in, the Food & Drug Administration has approved the drug Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID. So it turns out that, according to the FDA, it's OK even if you're not a horse for you to take Ivermectin to treat your COVID. That's what you call a win-whinny.  Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula, along with Jimmy Dore and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why Ivermectin had to be so severely demonized during the early days of the pandemic but now can be approved in such a cavalier fashion. Plus a segment on all the terrible jokes late night night comedians made about taking Ivermectin, which has now been approved by the FDA to treat COVID. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!

Hunter Biden's longtime business partner Devon Archer recently testified to Congress behind closed doors about international deals he and Hunter were involved in and whether Joe Biden had any participation. Even though the mainstream media is spinning the testimony as exonerating the President, the reality is that Hunter was clearly trading on his father's name and that Joe actively involved himself in his son's business. Jimmy and The Convo Couch host Craig Jardula discuss the weight of evidence suggesting President Biden helped and benefited from his son's influence peddling schemes. Plus segments about a new poll showing a majority of Americans no longer support Ukraine War funding and out-of-touch elitist Joy Behar wondering why Joe Biden isn't more popular. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Andrew Cuomo and Joe Biden!

Donald Trump has been indicted yet again, and this time it's not about secret payments to a porn star or mishandling of classified documents. No, this indictment is over Trump's alleged involvement in fomenting the January 6 “insurrection” and other various efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the indictment and whether the various legal campaigns against Trump are collectively oriented at ensuring he can't run again in 2024.  Plus a segment with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talking about what's REALLY destroying the middle class in America. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from Vince Vaughn!

There's much debate on the left as to how much better, if at all, Democrats are compared with Republicans. Kyle Kulinski's not engaging with that debate, however, as he forcefully recently asserted that black people tend to vote blue because Democrats are “one trillion times better” than Republicans. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Revolutionary Blackout Network's Nick Cruse about Kulinski's assessment and why he may be overstating the case by a factor of a trillion. Plus a segment on Houston Police ongoing harassment of volunteer workers feeding the homeless. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from George Clooney!

Green Party presidential candidate Cornel West recent appeared on Anderson Cooper's CNN show and the two sparred over the Ukraine War. Specifically, Cooper rejected Dr. West's comparison of the United States' invasion of Iraq to what Russia has done in Ukraine and did in Chechnya.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss West's handling of Anderson Cooper and whether Cornel is ready for prime time. Plus a segment on The Intercept's Ryan Grim's manipulative efforts to discourage third party voters. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from Chuck Schumer!

Reason, the magazine directed at libertarians, recently published a video titled “Why Are So Many Libertarians Suddenly Fond of RFK Jr.?” In the video Reason contributor Liz Wolfe wildly smears RFK Jr. as – predictably enough – anti-vaxx while insisting the Democratic presidential candidate is wrong about wanting to protect Social Security and Medicare and take on the oligarchy and the deep state. As Jimmy points out, Wolfe repeatedly uses misleadingly edited videos, announces RFK is wrong without citing how or why and generally doesn't seem to understand libertarianism, not to mention how to make a cogent, coherent argument. Plus a segment on the blatant duplicity Biden and Democrats are engaging in to try to persuade young people to vote for Democrats over a student debt relief plan they have no intention of following through on. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from President Joe Biden and Jake Tapper!

Progressive activist and academic Cornel West grabbed headlines recently when he announced he would be running for President under the People's Party banner. Now West has had a change of heart and will instead be running for the nomination of the Green Party. And, as if on cue, he is already being roundly excoriated by Democrats as a secret right-winger who will throw the election to Donald Trump. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger speak with journalist and author Chris Hedges, who helped persuade West to make the switch, about what a Cornel West presidential campaign could accomplish. Plus a segment on the baseless accusations against Russia for destroying the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Alec Baldwin and President Joe Biden!

Writer, actor, director and standup comedian Mike Binder recently penned an article asking the rhetorical question: why has the standup industry been so thoroughly de-fanged in recent years to become so thoroughly pro-establishment? Gone is the bravery of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, he says, as comedic voices of dissent today have become the exception and can be numbered on one hand. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Binder about the state of comedy, and the few truth-tellers who have been willing to push back against the COVID narrative in particular. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Chris Christie and Vince Vaughn!

Leslie Aun, VP of Communications and Public Engagement for the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) recently called Max Blumenthal and Alex Rubenstein of The Grayzone to dispute their characterization of the NED as a “CIA cutout,” although she admitted she didn't know what the term “CIA cutout” means. In response the two journalists educated Aun about her organization's sordid history and many of the ways the NED has served the interests of empire but with the sheen of “democracy” to protect its image. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Max about the surreal conversation and whether he felt Aun was genuinely ignorant of the subject matter. Plus a segment on a recent Israeli Freedom of Information Act request revealing that there have been zero Israeli deaths from COVID among healthy Israelis under 50. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Al Pacino and dual GOP Presidential contenders Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis!

The notorious Ukrainian “kill list” that identified the Zelensky regime's opponents like Aaron Maté, Scott Ritter, Roger Waters and even Henry Kissinger has added a new name: Jimmy Dore. The list is ostensibly maintained by an independent group, but an investigation into funding reveals that the Ukrainian government is behind the effort, as well as U.S. and NATO cutouts. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger speak with The Grayzone reporter Max Blumenthal about the individuals named on the list who have been assassinated and what being added means for Jimmy. Plus segments on a new poll showing a majority of Americans do not believe in Russiagate but do believe the intelligence agencies are interfering in domestic elections. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Harrison Ford and Joe Biden!

John Durham has issued his report on the Russiagate investigation, and the results are scathing, despite what many mainstream media outlets would have you believe. Durham found no evidence supporting allegations of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia, but rather that the FBI broke the law in pursuing the case and that the entire Russia-Trump connection was ginned up by the Clinton campaign in 2016. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Pushback host Aaron Maté about the ongoing Russiagate hoax that won't die no matter how many times and ways it's debunked. Plus a segment on the attacks from MSNBC's Joy Reid and The View's Sunny Hostin on Anderson Cooper over the CNN Trump Town Hall. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Andrew Cuomo!

Donald Trump has lost the civil case of sexual assault brought against him by E. Jean Carroll, and will now have to pay her $5 million, pending appeal. But did you know that this case could only be brought thanks to a recent amendment to New York statutes pushed by Democrats and Carroll herself and without this legislative “fix” the statute of limitations for the lawsuit would have run out? Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether this rape case is more about preventing Trump from running in 2024 than the triumph of justice. Plus a segment featuring U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's recent appearance on CNN with Erin Burnett where he perpetuated already-debunked lies about mask effectiveness in fighting COVID. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Jake Tapper and the duo of Chuck Schumer and President Joe Biden!

The recent dust-up between MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan and Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi has mushroomed to the point where elected officials are now calling for Taibbi's arrest for allegedly lying under oath during his recent Congressional testimony. Author and academic Norman Finkelstein labels Hasan a “sewer rat” for misrepresenting the extent of Taibbi's ostensible “errors” in the Twitter Files and challenges him to correct the record. Guest host Aaron Maté speaks with Finkelstein about Hasan's reporting on the Twitter Files as well as his contribution to labeling the Labour Party's Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite. Plus a segment dedicated to the demise of hipster empire apologist media outlet Vice News. Also featuring Mischa Paullin, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from President Joe Biden!

Top-rated Fox News host Tucker Carlson has been abruptly fired from his choice primetime show on the cable network. Carlson has consistently been the only voice on cable news calling out the war machine, criticizing his fellow media commentators for doing advertisers' bidding and rejecting claims from Big Pharma. And now he's gone! Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to special guest Jimmy Dore about the silencing of Tucker Carlson. Plus a segment dedicated to the passing of singing legend and civil rights hero Harry Belafonte. Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Jake Tapper and President Joe Biden!

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is being forced to testify in a civil suit about his connection to late financier/sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. As journalist Whitney Webb explains, the sordid ties between not only Epstein and Dimon, but also many of the biggest names in the growth of the financial service sector over the past 40 years, along with the government and organized crime, reveal an unprecedented web of corruption and sleaze. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Webb about the details of this story she's uncovered in her reporting. Plus a segment with Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou of The Duran on the 200 additional U.S. troops recently deployed to Taiwan. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!

It's been more than 20 years since the US and its allies invaded Iraq in what is now widely acknowledged was a war crime based on lies. And yet many of the same perpetrators who pushed those lies and the Iraq invasion remain prominent and respected members of the foreign policy establishment as they today push the Ukraine War.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to British politician and talk show host George Galloway about his principled opposition to the Iraq War. Plus segments featuring Galloway discussing Europe's possible "break" with the United States led by France's Emmanuel Macron, and a San Jose Police Union leader who's been charged with trafficking fentanyl. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Arnold Schwarzenegger and the team of Joe Biden and Liam Neeson!

The “Restrict Act” currently being pushed through Congress with bipartisan support, ostensibly an effort to keep the Chinese government from spying on Americans, will allow the U.S. government to dramatically restrict the websites Americans can visit. In fact, by using a VPN to circumvent restrictions Americans could possibly put themselves at risk of being sentenced to 20 years in prison.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this draconian effort to monitor Americans' online lives. Plus a segment with Professor Richard Wolff about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and what it portends for the U.S. economy's future. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Vince Vaughn!

Jon Stewart recently appeared on TV with CNN's Fareed Zakaria to insist that Donald Trump be charged with crimes because in the United States even the rich and powerful should face accountability. We either have the rule of law or we don't, Stewart said, and apparently he believes we actually DO enjoy the rule of law in America. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss all the ways the rule of law does not prevail in the United States. Plus a segment with Pushback host Aaron Maté on his testimony to the United Nations about the OPCW whistleblower scandal in Syria. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Chuck Schumer and the duo of George Clooney and Brad Pitt!  

In the latest installment of the Twitter Files, journalist Matt Taibbi reveals the far too cozy relationship between a variety of government agencies and Twitter that led the social media platform to censor even information deemed accurate about COVID vaccines if it was determined the information might encourage vaccine hesitancy. In their zealousness Twitter even went so far as to censor jokes that were deemed dangerous or tweets that might hurt Anthony Fauci's credibility. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the rest of the media's unwillingness to engage with the dangerous implications of the Twitter Files stories. Plus a segment on the International Criminal Court's sham indictment of Vladimir Putin on war crimes charges. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Jake Tapper!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is mulling a run for the Presidency and challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic Party nomination. Kennedy admits that the United States no longer has a functioning democracy, and that the Democratic Party is already manipulating the 2024 primaries and refusing to hold debates — all in order to protect Biden.  Jimmy talks to Kennedy about the 2024 race and why he believes he can break through despite the party's rank corruption and win the nomination as an outsider like a 2024 Democratic version of 2016 Donald Trump. Plus a segment on conservative author Betheny Mendel's inability to define "woke" when asked on the "Rising" program. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Vince Vaughn and the duo of Andrew Cuomo and Chuck Schumer!

The East Palestine rail disaster has brought into focus the severity of the dangers posed by the United States' degrading infrastructure, especially when combined with the monopolistic, neoliberal policies that seek to extract the highest possible profits while pushing overextended workers to their limits and beyond. Railway Workers United General Secretary Ron Kaminkow explains that the time may be ripe for a radical new plan for the nation's railways. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Kaminkow about just why the rail transit system in America has become such a shambles and devastating to its workforce. Plus a segment on Fox News host Tucker Carlson's evisceration of the lies told by the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol "insurrection." Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!

Tucker Carlson has been the rare media commentator to mention that there is substantial evidence the United States was behind the Nord Stream pipeline bombing. He even brought on Jimmy Dore to talk about it — something that blew the minds of other mainstream media outlets like Mediaite, which published a piece smearing Jimmy as a conspiracy theorist while neglecting to refute a single point he made. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether the Mediaite story was actually written by a sympathetic reporter. Plus segments on actor Sean Penn's unhinged warmongering during a recent appearance on CNN and Dilbert creator Scott Adams' bizarre rant cautioning white people to stay away from black people. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from Liam Neeson!

Unlike virtually everyone else in the mainstream media, Rachel Maddow opted to cover the recent anti-war rally in Washington DC. Except, as the inveterate warmonger and consent manufacturer she is, Maddow spread lie after lie and smeared participants as “pro-Russia” while showing none of the speakers except Tulsi Gabbard, whom she didn't identify by name while describing her as a "occasional fill-in host for Tucker Carlson." Overall it was a disgusting display and a stark reminder of what a tool for the establishment Maddow is. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger, along with interloping Jimmy Dore, discuss Maddow's rank dishonesty and knowing mischaracterization of the rally and its participants. Plus a segment on the "boutique" left's determined effort to undermine this anti-war rally and any prospect for uniting with those outside the left to pursue peace. Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from Joe Biden!

The media's purpose is to question dominant narratives and challenge authority, but too often today's corporate media exists simply to regurgitate establishment talking points and run interference for powerful interests. Case in point: Business Insider writer Mia Jankowicz's recent piece smearing Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh's story revealing U.S. involvement in sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline. Jimmy Dore Show guest host Aaron Maté and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how pathetically bought the mainstream media is today. Plus segments on media silence over the Hersh story, the Chinese "spy" balloon and former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's admission that a peace deal over Ukraine was in the works soon after the war began but the United States blocked all negotiations. Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden!

MSNBC editor and political columnist Zeeshan Aleem recently penned the latest in the virtual cavalcade of pieces we've seen of late from Democratic Party apologists warning that “populist” left figures like Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi and Jimmy Dore have been “flirting” with the populist right. Such a movement could funnel leftists into the arms of authoritarians, Aleem argues, as if the Democratic Party today isn't authoritarian to its core. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the very real dangers this kind of “flirtation” can lead to. Plus a segment on Rachel Maddow's unhinged, ignorant anti-peace position on the war in Ukraine. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Vince Vaughn and Mitt Romney!

It's rare to hear a genuine, full-throated anti-war message on American television, much less on Fox News, but Tucker Carlson's audience heard that message loud and clear thanks to the latest appearance by Jimmy Dore. Jimmy called out the corruption, the warmongering, the deception and the profiteering as the U.S. military industrial complex and its lackeys in government and media push for war with China. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why Tucker is the only broadcaster open to sharing Jimmy's anti-war message with his audience. Plus segments on the lunatic Covidian who's likely to replace Anthony Fauci and a Newsweek opinion piece acknowledging that the government and scientific community has been lying about COVID from the start. Also featuring Dan Cohen and Stef Zamorano!

Newly minted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has begun flexing his muscle, making good on his promise to kick prominent Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell off of the House Intelligence Committee. And for good measure McCarthy also took the opportunity to smack down a PBS reporter who asked why the two Democrats were being excised from this committee while noted fabulist Republican George Santos was being placed on other committees. Jimmy and Pushback host Aaron Maté discuss the more than legitimate reasons why Schiff has no business anywhere near the Intelligence Committee. Plus segments on a psychopath former Pentagon official in the Obama administration calling for "many more body bags" to bring down Putin and "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams' less-than-contrite apology for being wrong about the COVID vaccine. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Vince Vaughn and the duo of Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky!

During a recent Instagram Live chat, New York Congresswoman and “Squad” member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explained why she and her colleagues refused to “Force the Vote” when Democrats took control of the House in 2021, unlike what the Freedom Caucus did earlier this month. Her response was enlightening, underscoring how AOC has become a complete Democratic Party insider and wholly abandoned the “bring the ruckus” persona that helped sweep her into office as an ostensible threat to the Democratic Party power structure. Jimmy breaks down all the ways AOC unwittingly acknowledges she has betrayed her supporters and become just another lying politician. Plus a segment on astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson embarrassing himself on a podcast with his ignorance about COVID vaccine efficacy. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Steve Kirsch and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Kevin Spacey and the duo of Joe Biden and Andrew Cuomo!

The days of the American empire are numbered, says journalist Chris Hedges, and the evidence is all too clear for anyone who's studied history. Our rampant militarism abroad combined with neglect of the domestic needs of any but the wealthiest citizens describe a grim future for the United States, he says. And if you think progressives in government might help us avoid that destiny, think again – The Squad and their ilk are merely controlled opposition designed to provide false hope for change. Jimmy and Americans' comedian Kurt Metzger discuss with Hedges the calamity that elites have wrought in condemning the United States empire to the dustbin of history. Plus a segment on actor Sean Penn's cringe-worthy fawning over Volodymyr Zelensky at the recent Golden Globes. Also featuring Aaron Maté, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Vince Vaughn!

The Squad and their supporters in the liberal online media world who've fallen in line behind Biden, Pelosi and Schumer would be happy if everyone forgot about #ForceTheVote. But you know who didn't forget? The GOP's Freedom Caucus, which is currently using its leverage to extract concessions in exchange for their Speaker vote in exactly the same way many progressives had hoped The Squad would do at this time two years ago. But that didn't happen, and as a result these so-called "progressives" were exposed as go-along, get-along institutionalists who would never challenge the power centers of the Democratic Party. Jimmy and Useful Idiots podcast host Aaron Maté discuss the legacy of #ForceTheVote and what might have been accomplished had House progressives been willing to use their power to move a leftist political agenda forward. Plus a segment hosted by Aaron speaking with The Grayzone's Anya Parampil about the sad end to Juan Guaidó's tenure as the pretend President of Venezuela.

The latest release in the so-called “Twitter Files” information dump has revealed the incredibly close relationship between the United States government and the social media platform as the two worked together (at the government's insistence) to censor not just misinformation about COVID but also pretty much any information that conflicted with the official state narrative, true or not. Among the many Twitter users to get caught up in this public-private web was Martin Kulldorff, a former professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Jimmy and Revolutionary Black Network's Nick Cruse discuss all the ways the government and Twitter conspired to censor users who diverged from the party line on COVID. Plus a segment on the outrageous lies of incoming GOP House Representative George Santos -- as well as increasingly demented Democratic President Joe Biden. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Vince Vaughn!

Scientific American Magazine editor Tanya Lewis has come down with COVID. This came as something of a shock to her since she feels she has been EXTRAORDINARILY cautious for the past three years, masking constantly while out of the house, taking all her vaccines and boosters and generally avoiding any possible exposure whenever possible. Yet she still got it, which means that maybe all those precautions didn't do her a whole lot of good. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger wonder why a science magazine editor would be so oblivious about the science of COVID. Plus segments on the latest whopper lie to come out of Joe Biden's mouth and the "Twitter Files" revelations about the FBI dictating to Twitter which accounts should be banned and otherwise censored. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Alec Baldwin!

Jennifer Sey was a high-powered executive at the Levi's corporation with an inside track to become the company's next CEO. Then the pandemic hit and Sey spoke out against extended school closings. As she became a more prominent spokesperson for the science that suggested kids should be back in schools, she increasingly came under fire from others inside the “progressive” Levi's corporation and was told she needed to quell her activism. When she refused she was given the opportunity to take a big payday to leave and keep her mouth shut, but she refused. Jimmy talks with Sey about her experience inside what she describes as a corporate “cult” where anyone expressing even the slightest deviation from the accepted narrative about COVID was sharply rejected and marginalized. Plus a segment on the out-of-control Pentagon spending approved by both parties. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Vince Vaughn!

Time Magazine has named Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky its “Person of the Year,” continuing the corporate media practice of promoting the puppet leader of a nation NATO is using to wage a proxy war against Russia. Jimmy and antiwar activist and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern discuss whether Zelensky really deserves an honor that in the past has been bestowed on such luminaries as George W. Bush, Ayatollah Khomeini and Adolf Hitler. Plus a segment on a railroad workers union's calls to pursue electoral options outside of the two-party system. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Harrison Ford and Al Pacino!

Those wily Democrats, they've done it again!

Jimmy and The Convo Couch's Craig “Pasta” Jardula discuss the Democratic Party's abject abandonment of the working class and this latest exposure of Joe Biden as no friend of union workers.

Jon Stewart is a comedy legend who pioneered an entirely new way to deliver scathing but also funny commentary on the news. But now he's apparently decided to piss away all the credibility he built up by interviewing and giving a virtual tongue bath to war criminals Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice, whom he allows to spew transparently false narratives about the American war machine with nary a peep of disagreement. Jimmy and his panel of Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger and The Grayzone's Anya Parampil discuss Stewart's embarrassingly cringe-worthy performance. Plus segments on Canadian comedy troupe Kids In The Hall's prescient wokeness parody from 1993 and the media-fed lie that Russia is giving its troops Viagra to assist in committing sexual assaults against Ukrainians. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Anya Parampil!

Joe Biden, in his move to abolish between $10-20,000 worth of individuals' student debt, decide to enact the policy via a means that was likely to be rejected as unconstitutional by the courts. So was this merely an oversight on the part of the administration or was this path chosen by the White House just to gain the political advantage for the midterms without actually having to provide a single dollar of student debt relief? Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the question with the Revolutionary Blackout Network's Sabby Sabs. Plus a segment on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's insistence that the rocket attack on Poland came from Russia and not, as is now universally acknowledged, from Ukraine.. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Jackson Hinkle and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Jeff Bridges and Joe Biden!

As the final counting takes place in the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats are already crowing about holding off a supposed “red wave” even though they may yet lose the House and Senate. But independent of the outcome in the blue vs red contest, the clear winners will be, as they always are, the oligarchs representing Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Oil, the heathcare industry and Silicon Valley. Jimmy and his panel of Revolutionary Blackout Network host Nick Cruse and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger break down the results of the midterm elections and how fascism and oligarchy managed to eke out yet another electoral victory. Plus a segment on President Obama getting heckled at a campaign rally over Democrats' support for the march to nuclear war over Ukraine. Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Al Pacino and the duo of Joe Biden and Jake Tapper!

Writing in The Atlantic, economist Emily Oster announced that it's time for the COVID wars to end, and for aggrieved parties who may or may not have been “right” in challenging the dominant narrative about vaccines, masks, transmission and related topics to give their antagonists a pass so that we can all move on together. But is that how it works – thousands lose their jobs, while countless more are demonized on a grand scale and everyone's supposed to just take a mulligan? Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the importance of expressions of contrition if there is to be any “amnesty” for the likes of Noam Chomsky, Piers Morgan and Jimmy Kimmel who did everything they could to smear COVID narrative skeptics.

University of California-Irvine professor and physician Dr. Aaron Kheriaty (http://aaronkheriaty.substack.com) was fired earlier this year after refusing to get the COVID vaccine since he'd already had COVID and developed natural immunity. Since then he's become an outspoken advocate against vaccine mandates and the torrent of disinformation and misinformation spread by very powerful interests pushing vaccines and mandates while downplaying natural immunity and possible preventive measures. Jimmy speaks with Dr. Kheriaty about his experience opposing COVID protocols and the lawsuit underway that will force government officials like Anthony Fauci to defend the strictures imposed on the public during the pandemic. Plus a segment on an international democracy forum silencing Dr. Jeffrey Sachs for sharing the truth about U.S. imperialism and violence across the globe since 1950. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Aaron Maté and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Vince Vaughn!

During a recent sparsely attended town hall event, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was confronted by anti-war activists who demanded that AOC stop supporting the war in Ukraine that is rapidly leading the US and Russia to the brink of nuclear war. Instead of engaging with her critics, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez called the activists “rude,” insisted they wait their turn in line and later upbraided them for shouting over a deaf constituent who she alleged had been trying to speak. Jimmy and America's Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss AOC's rank hypocrisy and how she used to emphasize the importance of activists holding the powerful to account even if it means making them uncomfortable. Plus a segment on a Pfizer executive's admission to the European Parliament that the company's COVID vaccine was not tested for transmissibility before gaining approval for distribution. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Harrison Ford and the duo of Barack Obama and James Carville!

During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the titular host welcomed Rolling Stone Magazine founder Jann Wenner, and the conversation quickly turned to online censorship. Wenner expressed support for the tech industry and government regulating speech since government does so well regulating the food supply and the pharmaceutical industry. At which point Rogan stepped in and set Wenner straight in a gentle but nevertheless devastating way. Jimmy and America's Comedian Kurt Metzger wonder at the founder of an iconically countercultural publication like Rolling Stone turning into such a neoliberal shill for the establishment. Plus segments on the escalating war in Ukraine, a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff calling for NATO to negotiate a settlement to the Ukraine War, Joe Biden lying about codifying Roe v Wade into law and a Wired Magazine article with the dumbest work-related advice ever. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Chris Hedges is among the most incisive, trenchant analysts of the social, economic and political factors influencing the world for the past 30 years. And he's here to tell you that the January 6th riots were not the great threat to American democracy they're cracked up to be. American democracy has been steadily eroding since the Reagan administration, Hedges says, and if you think Donald Trump's arrival on the political scene is what killed democracy you have not been paying attention. Jimmy and his panel of Hedges and America's comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the myriad ways Wall Street, Big Pharma, weapons manufacturers, Big Ag and other powerful sectors snatched away the reins of power from the American people decades ago. Plus a segment on news that the Nord Stream 2 was not, in fact, permanenly disabled by the recent sabotage attempt, and may be operational again very soon. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Aaron Maté and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Alec Baldwin and Joe Biden!
