The Jimmy Dore Show

Young commentator Adam Mockler recently confronted CNN's Scott Jennings on live television, reminding the pundit that he and his allies sold the Iraq war with the exact same arguments—WMDs, terror state, mushroom clouds—that they are now using to justify the Iran war, and that Jennings previously promised the war would last four to six weeks while it is now failing with no political concessions and Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Jennings became visibly enraged, falsely claiming Mockler had a finger in his face and calling him "ungrateful to American service personnel," while mocking his age and telling him to get "life experience" before having an opinion. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point to a Glenn Greenwald tweet noting that what truly enraged Jennings was not a finger but the fact that Mockler violated the "implicit self-protective taboo" in Washington against reminding war promoters that they were catastrophically wrong about Iraq. They conclude that the exchange perfectly illustrates why young people don't trust establishment media and war hawks, noting that Iran has killed zero Americans in 47 years while the US has spent trillions on failed Middle East wars that have made Americans less safe. Plus segments on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's closed-door testimony about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and disuputed claims about how long Iran can withstand a US blockade. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Scott Ritter! And a phone call from JD Vance and Benjamin Netanyahu!

Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins the show to tell Jimmy that a new phase of the Iran war is "definitely going to happen" within days, as Iran has "instructed everybody to go below ground and hide out" and the US is bombing empty buildings — to which Iran would respond asymmetrically by destroying Gulf States' power grids and desalination plants, causing mass migration and a global depression. He notes that after Trump's "Project Freedom" failed when Iran attacked a French-owned cargo ship attempting the US-designated route, Trump suspended the operation and is now threatening a "much higher level and intensity" of bombing if Iran doesn't agree to terms. Meanwhile, Jimmy points out that Marco Rubio's statement that the goal is to get the strait "back to the way it was" means the US had to start a war so we could go back to the way things were before we started the war. Macgregor argues that Trump's advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth because "he blows up" and "doesn't like facts that get in the way of his preferences," and that the Navy has already been forced to retreat 300-400 miles offshore because Iran's hypersonic missiles make close-in naval power impossible. He concludes that even if a deal is signed, US credibility is destroyed and "we're not going to recover from this very quickly," with a recession already underway that could turn into a decade-long depression if bombing resumes. Plus segments on mass layoffs at Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, Putin making a major move to crush the Petrodollar and Marco Rubio begging the Chinese to save the global economy.

Jimmy takes a mini victory lap to celebrate Bill Maher finally mentioning him on his show after years of resentment, while also disparaging Maher for admitting he doesn't know what the "Overton window" is and has no interest in learning, despite hosting a political talk show. Jimmy points out that Maher was previously embarrassed for not knowing what the World Economic Forum (WEF) or MK Ultra were when Joe Rogan asked him years ago. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Maher rewards ignorance and comfort over "uncomfortable knowledge," and that his audience claps "like seals" when he says "stop making me know stuff I don't want to know." The segment contrasts Maher's refusal to learn basic political terminology with clips of Glenn Greenwald destroying Maher for blaming Islamic extremism rather than decades of US military intervention for Middle East violence—after which Maher famously said, "I'm never having someone on who's smart again." Jimmy closes by noting that Maher's recent guests include exclusively establishment figures who won't question him or any of the dominant narratives. Plus segments on the mainstream media finally reporting on the damage inflicted by Iran on US bases in the Persian Gulf and China telling Trump to take his sanctions on Iranian oil and stick 'em. Also featuring Ray McGovern and Stef Zamorano!

Candace Owens revealed on her show that Charlie Kirk's close associate and TPUSA insider Mikey McCoy secretly sent her a message through a third party telling her to "look further into Andrew Kolvet," which she says proved that her suspicions about a TPUSA cover-up were justified. This revelation came in response to Andrew Kolvet attempting to discredit Owens by releasing a private text message where she joked, "First question, why did you murder your husband?"—a joke she says was made in the context of mocking media figures who equated any questioning of Erika Kirk with accusing her of murder. Owens contrasts Kolvet's selective release with her own decision to withhold the Mikey McCoy information, and she notes that Erika Kirk appeared in public dressed like "an assassin" or "an Imperial officer from Star Wars" while claiming she can forgive her husband's alleged shooter but holds grudges against everyone else. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Erika is a "Monarch program" victim who must "play the part of the widow" as part of a ritual, and that Charlie Kirk never actually appointed his wife to take over TPUSA—if the audio were real, "they would show the video." Plus segments on Rep. Thomas Massie's BIG win for American consumers and a top aide to Dr. Fauci's being indicted for a COVID coverup. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from JD Vance!

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth faced intense congressional questioning recently, with one representative accusing him of calling surviving soldiers "liars" after they contradicted his claim that a deadly drone attack was merely "a squirter that squeaked through fortified defenses"—with survivors telling CBS the unit had no defense against drones and was "unprepared to provide any defense for itself." When another questioner asked Hegseth how much the Iran war would cost American households in higher gas and food prices, the Defense secretary repeatedly deflected, demanding instead, "What would you pay to ensure Iran doesn't get a nuclear bomb?" before Ro Khanna interjected that the economic cost is $631 billion—"an increase of $5,000 a year for American households." Jimmy notes the contradiction that Trump officials claimed Iran's nuclear program was an "imminent threat" 60 days ago, but now claim it was "completely obliterated," yet still justify the war by saying Iran has nuclear "ambitions." The segment concludes with Khanna telling Hegseth, "You've betrayed... the MAGA base," adding that "JD Vance knows that." Plus segments on Rand Paul eviscerating his own credibility over the White House ballroom, the one fatal mistake Trump made in launching the Iran war and Trump's plan to pay Iran $25 billion to open the Strait of Hormuz.
