The Jimmy Dore Show

Conservative commentator Candace Owens has publicly criticized Donald Trump for abandoning his “American first” pledge in favor of Israel and against free speech. In a recent episode of her podcast, “Candace,” she voiced concerns over the administration’s actions against universities, particularly regarding free speech issues. Owens stated, “I never thought that I would see a day where I would be rooting for a university above Donald J. Trump and his administration. But I don’t recognize this administration right now.” She highlighted the administration’s actions against Harvard University, which is facing threats of federal funding cuts for not complying with certain demands. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Trump has betrayed virtually every fundamental pledge he made to his MAGA base. Plus segments on actor Russell Brand’s recent arrest on decades-old sexual assault charges and Health & Human Services director Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement that all new vaccines will only be approved after more rigorous studies involving placebos. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Douglas Murray!

At the Jerusalem JNS Policy Summit, former U.S. Senator Norm Coleman proclaimed, "The masters of the universe are Jews,” identifying a list of major tech firm CEOs who are all Jews. In the face of Gen Z’s growing support for Palestine, Coleman urged those CEOs and other powerful Jews to "win the digital battle." Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why young people who get their information from social media rather than traditional sources, would turn against Israel. Plus segments on Trump shredding ABC News reporter Terry Moran over the media’s coverup of former President Biden’s mental decline, a judge freeing detained international Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, Trump compelling Jeff Bezos to cave on including tariff-based price increases on Amazon pages, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledging that Crimea will remain a part of Russia after negotiations to end the war and Trump claiming he would like to raise taxes on the wealthy but the political cost would be too high. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Stephen Gardner!

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, has died by suicide, her family said Friday.  Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years. Giuffre was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling for criminal charges against Epstein and his enablers. Other Epstein abuse survivors later credited her with giving them the courage to speak out. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Giuffre likely actually committed suicide or if other forces were at play in leading to her death. Plus segments on Democrats’ demand that Donald Trump be subjected to the “rule of law” suddenly not applying to the Wisconsin judge who allegedly helped an alien in her court evade authorities and the more than 100 former Israeli spies and IDF soldiers who now work for Facebook. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Stephen Gardner and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from JD Vance!

President Donald Trump is standing by his embattled Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and brushing off concerns even as new details are emerging about the military information Hegseth shared in a second group chat on Signal that included his family and friends. Hegseth is also dealing with the fallout from a leadership purge at the top of the Pentagon as he cashiered three top advisers who have lengthy histories with the Defense Secretary. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how the knives have come out for Hegseth, demanding his resignation, and why powerful interests at the Pentagon may be eager to see him go — and it has nothing to do with the so-called “Signal” controversies. Plus segments on Trump’s berating Volodymyr Zelensky for stonewalling negotiations to end the Ukraine War, Trump similarly posting “Vladimir, STOP!” to Putin about recent Russian attacks on Kiev and new Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa’s recent attempts to cozy up to Israel. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Vince Vaughn!

After being embarrassed over his lack of an argument and insistence on semantic minutiae during his appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, British political commentator Douglas Murray raced to the New York Post to pen an opinion piece demanding better “standards” for podcasters like Rogan. Except while decrying the lack of “truth” and “honesty” of Rogan and others, Murray lets loose with a torrent of his own dishonesty and half-truths.  Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how laughable it is to suggest a code of standards for podcasters — meaning fealty to the Zionist party line — when such standards are noticeably absent in mainstream journalism. Plus segments on the UK following through on plans to dim the sun to combat climate change and a recent poll showing a sharp drop in Americans’ support for Israel. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Norman Finkelstein and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from George Clooney!
