The Jimmy Dore Show

Israel has always operated a powerful and effective propaganda system - they even have a name for it, “Hasbara.” But in the age of social media the Jewish state finds itself falling behind in the propaganda battle as the ongoing genocide in Gaza and general treatment of Palestinians becomes too horrific for the rest of the world to ignore or Israel to paper over. Jimmy speaks with formerly Gaza-based Palestinian-Egyptian journalist Youmna El Sayed about her reporting and why the tide has turned against Israel in the information war. Plus segments on the bloodthirsty commentators populating Israeli television, House Speaker Mike Johnson’s disingenuous response to Elon Musk’s criticism of the budget bill and Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy’s unhinged reaction to antisemitic jokes.  Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mike MacRae and Aaron Maté. And a phone call from Douglas Murray!

Privacy activists, many of whom are supporters of President Donald Trump, are expressing anger and disbelief following reports that his administration had advanced plans to create a national citizen database with technology firm Palantir. The White House has reportedly contracted Palantir, a Colorado-based analytics company co-founded by Trump supporter Peter Thiel, to assist in compiling a database of personal information on American citizens, according to unnamed government officials and Palantir employees. The purported deal follows project talks Palantir had with the Social Security Administration and the Department of Education. Jimmy speaks with author, activist and investigative journalist Derrick Broze about how Trump’s embrace of Palantir represents a betrayal of MAGA principles. Plus segments on Catherine Austin Fitts breaking down Elon Musk’s plans to institute a social credit system in the U.S. and Elon going scorched earth on Trump’s budget bill. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

Zionists and their defenders frequently point to the indoctrination children in the West Bank and Gaza are subjected to as proof that Palestinians are raised from birth to hate Jews generally, and Israelis specifically. Yet if you watch a recent interview Benjamin Netanyahu gave to a young Israeli boy — and specifically how the Israeli Prime Minister described the conflict with Hamas -- it would be difficult to conclude anything other than that Netanyahu himself is engaging in rank propaganda and indoctrination. Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss discuss with guest Dr. Gabor Maté what Netanyahu says to the child interviewer and why it’s so difficult to break Jews away from this kind of programming. Plus segments on the recent Boulder, Colorado improvised flamethrower attack, Jon Stewart raking Jake Tapper over the coals for his crappy “journalism” and DNC official David Hogg caught on video calling out Nancy Pelosi’s corruption. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!

Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk is leaving the Trump administration after leading a tumultuous efficiency drive, during which he upended several federal agencies but ultimately failed to deliver the generational savings he had sought. During a press conference with President Trump Friday, Musk pledged that despite his departure the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would continue its work toward cutting a trillion dollars out of the federal budget Guest host Keaton Weiss and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how DOGE never came close to cutting the promised level of government funding, mainly because Musk and his acolytes refused to follow through on his promise to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse at the Pentagon. Plus segments on Joe Biden’s bizarre threat of violence against CNN’s Jake Tapper and Israel’s radical ramping up of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Academic and political scientist Norman Finkelstein clashed with Israeli historian Benny Morris during a recent appearance on Piers Morgan’s television program. Specifically, Morris kept interrupting and accusing Finkelstein of lying as he tried to share the results of a recent Penn State University poll showing that majorities of Israelis support genocide in Gaza and a substantial majority support ethnic cleansing. Guest host Keaton Weiss and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Finkelstein comparing Morris to a Holocaust denier. Plus segments on Donald Trump accusing Vladimir Putin of going “crazy” and Israeli troops firing on crowds of starving Gazans desperately crowding into designated relief zones.
