For this episode Jimmy interviews Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen about what he describes as an increasingly hostile environment for dissenting views on the Ukraine war in Norway, including professional smears, canceled speaking engagements, public exposure of personal information, and accusations of Russian propaganda. Diesen argues that Norway's political, media, and academic establishment largely rejects debate over NATO expansion and Russia's security concerns, while government-funded NGOs, think tanks, and media organizations help marginalize critics; he cites his own disputes with the Norwegian Helsinki Committee and media fact-checking of his research.  The discussion broadens to European policy toward Ukraine, with Diesen arguing that Western governments ignored Ukrainian support for negotiations, discouraged diplomacy, and continued military escalation under the banner of supporting Ukraine, while Jimmy compares these dynamics to media consolidation and the influence of wealthy and military interests in the United States. Diesen says independent online outlets offer some alternative perspectives and that public opposition may grow as the consequences of current policies become clearer, but he remains concerned that mainstream European discourse increasingly treats international conflicts as a struggle between good and evil rather than addressing competing security interests through diplomacy. Plus segments on the Trump administration's threats to renew the war in Iran, the global dockworkers' strike to end Israel's war in Gaza and the big problem with recent "No Kings" rallies in the United States. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Vince Vaughn!

In this segment Jimmy examines Israel's election results, arguing that Benjamin Netanyahu may remain in power despite his political bloc falling short of the 61 seats needed for a Knesset majority. He explains how the opposition's difficulty working with Arab parties, who hold potentially decisive seats, could give Netanyahu another opportunity to form a government or prolong his tenure as caretaker prime minister.  As other political commentators have noted, tribal loyalties, culture-war divisions, religious beliefs, and attacks on opponents have traditionally helped Netanyahu retain support within his coalition. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Sachs argues that replacing Netanyahu and his far-right allies could create an opportunity for a different political direction. The segment also criticizes Donald Trump's support for Netanyahu and explores possible coalition arrangements, including cooperation with Arab parties or a unity government without Netanyahu, amid concerns about racism, regional conflict, and the future of U.S.–Israeli relations. Plus segments on Shawn Ryan's inability to answer basic questions about claims he censored a recent guest, the real reason why Europe is erupting in protest and a CNN panel's meltdown over a recent anti-Israel campaign ad. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Glenn Diesen and Stef Zamorano!

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger examine allegations about podcast host Shawn Ryan's connections to defense technology companies, particularly Anduril Industries, its founder Palmer Luckey, and investor Peter Thiel. They question whether Ryan's reported discussions about major funding deals and his involvement with the Glacier privacy app are compatible with his public image as an independent advocate for personal privacy.  The segment also explores Anduril's autonomous weapons, its AI-based Lattice platform, the Pentagon's Project Maven, and concerns about AI-assisted targeting following reports of civilian casualties, while criticizing the close relationships between defense contractors, government agencies, and technology investors.  Plus segments on Tucker Carlson's plan to rescue the US economy, Democrats declaring war on the Amish over vaccines and Ralph Nader's niece's surprising upstart independent campaign for a US House seat in Virginia. Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Chris Keene!

In this episode, Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger cover the allegations that podcast host Shawn Ryan has financial ties to defense and surveillance technology companies, raising questions about his independence and the credibility of his privacy-focused Glacier app. Citing researcher Leah Files' investigation, the hosts question Glacier's data-collection practices, transparency, handling of government requests, and reported connections to contractors with intelligence-sector backgrounds.   The conversation also examines Ryan's relationships with figures associated with Anduril, Palantir, and Peter Thiel, alongside concerns about autonomous weapons, military AI systems, and the ethical implications of technology used in targeting operations. Overall, the hosts argue that undisclosed financial relationships and limited transparency can undermine public trust in independent media, cybersecurity products, and defense technology companies. Plus segments on Tucker Carlson exposing Dan Bongino and Judge Napolitano reacting to Jared Kushner's multi-billion dollar corruption scandal. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel! 

Jimmy discusses the controversy surrounding Shawn Ryan's decision to initially withhold an interview with investigative commentator Leah Files, who says Ryan's team told her not to name Peter Thiel and Andreessen Horowitz while discussing the funding behind Flock Safety's surveillance technology. Ryan later released versions of the interview and called Leah a fraud, but Jimmy argues that Ryan failed to directly address her central allegation and questions whether the published footage was truly unedited.  The segment also features allegations from Leah and a man claiming to be the brother of Ryan's editor that employees had quit over the fallout and that staff faced pressure not to respond publicly. Jimmy portrays the dispute as a potential example of censorship and conflicts of interest in independent media, citing Ryan's investments in defense and surveillance-related companies, while leaving viewers to judge the competing accounts for themselves. Plus segments on Rachel Maddow playing dumb about U.S. intervention in other countries' elections around the globe and retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor explaining how the Trump administration already knows the Iran War is lost. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mischa Paullin!

Jimmy Dore interviews epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher about Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent comments linking the global measles outbreak to reduced vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic, which many say contradict Kennedy's previous skepticism about vaccine safety and testing. Hulscher argues that MMR vaccines pose greater risks than measles and cites research supporting concerns about vaccine-related deaths, as well as mRNA flu shots and COVID boosters.  The two express disappointment with Kennedy's performance in office, criticizing vaccine approvals, the failure to implement proposed reductions to the childhood vaccine schedule, and what they view as insufficient action to help people reporting vaccine injuries. Hulscher says the McCullough Foundation is frustrated by the administration's decisions and argues that Kennedy could be more effective outside government, while the discussion raises broader questions about vaccine safety, public health policy, and whether Kennedy has delivered on his promises. Plus Jimmy's exclusive interview with Jesse Merl of the Jesse on Fire YouTube channel about the controversy surrounding a recently misdirected voice recording critics have claimed may expose Jesse as a federal operative. 

The Jimmy Dore Show's own Mischa Paullin and Chris Keene discuss footage from a Donald Trump rally in which a woman wearing a "Release the Epstein Files" shirt is physically attacked by men in the crowd while demanding that Trump release the files, and the audience chants "USA" as Trump mocks her appearance and dismisses her as a paid protester. Citing criticism from former Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene, the two question how a movement that once promised to challenge political elites has come to tolerate violence against a woman demanding transparency about Jeffrey Epstein's associates.  Mischa and Chris debate whether MAGA has always been a cult or whether a genuine populist movement against establishment politics has been co-opted, while criticizing supporters who dismiss the footage and defend Trump regardless of his actions. They conclude that political tribalism and identity-driven loyalty are turning ordinary Americans against one another instead of directing their anger toward powerful officials, urging viewers to oppose political violence and hold leaders accountable. Plus segments on Jerry Seinfeld being heckled by pro-Palestinian protesters, a new form of AI customer surveillance and the coming demise of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states. Plus a phone call from Kash Patel. Also featuring Jimmy, Col. Macgregor and Mike MacRae!

In this episode Jimmy criticizes Metallica frontman James Hetfield for telling concertgoers that the band is not there to influence them politically and describing political issues as "bullshit," leading Jimmy to point out that dismissing other artists' political advocacy is itself a political statement. Jimmy notes that Metallica has a long history of addressing political and social issues through songs about war, injustice, censorship, and government power, while also publicly supporting Ukraine, demonstrating Hetfield's inconsistent, hypocritical stance.  Journalist Matt Taibbi mocked the idea of heavy metal as political, leading Jimmy to observe that Taibbi and others apply different standards to political expression depending on whether they agree with the message, particularly regarding Israel and Palestine. Citing musicians including Dave Matthews, Axl Rose, and Zach Bryan who have expressed support for Palestinians, Jimmy argues that artists should be free to speak on political issues and accuse critics of hypocrisy when they welcome political statements they agree with but condemn opposing views. Plus segments with Col. Douglas Macgregor on Trump's plan to pay Russia for oil and the impending economic collapse, and others from his recent panel show on whether Sydney Sweeney is a honeypot operation and a leading Israeli rabbi labeled "antisemitic" by Neftali Bennet. Also featuring Mischa Paullin, Stef Zamorano, Elaine Culotti, Tim Hockenberry and Jay Johnston.

Jimmy and his live show panelists Stef Zamorano, Elaine Culotti, Tim Hockenberry and Jay Johnston mock several verbal slips by Turning Point USA figures discussing Charlie Kirk's death, his widow Erika Kirk, and commentator Candace Owens. The panel highlight comments that appear to accuse Erika of murdering Charlie and suggest Candace would hate Erika for "murdering" rather than marrying him, while criticizing TPUSA figures for refusing to cooperate with an independent investigation at Utah Valley University.  They also ridicule attempts to explain away the remarks, accusing the speakers of gaslighting viewers after the comments are replayed, and share an AI-generated parody that exaggerates the suspicions and awkward phrasing for comedic effect. The segment ends with broader allegations from the hosts about infighting and possible financial misconduct among people surrounding Charlie Kirk, alongside speculation about his views on Israel. Plus segments on Sean Hannity claiming he was pressured to push the COVID vaccine, Tucker Carlson agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene's savage takedown of President Trump and the "Free Palestine" banner that flew over Robert Kraft's stadium during a recent NFL game. Also featuring Mischa Paullin, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Michael Douglas!

For this episode Jimmy interviews independent medical researcher Matthew Cormier about recent research suggesting that average human body temperature has declined from the historically cited 98.6°F to roughly 97.7–97.9°F, which Cormier argues may indicate broader problems involving immune function and metabolism. He links lower body temperature to immunosuppression, chronic infections, metabolic disorders, and exposure to environmental toxins, while also discussing possible roles for antibiotics, heavy metals, wireless radiation, and other factors.  The conversation also covers fasting, autophagy, the microbiome, thermoregulation, and the hypothalamus, with Cormier emphasizing that attempts to improve immune and metabolic function can have different effects depending on an individual's underlying health conditions. The interview concludes with Cormier calling the decline in body temperature a major health warning that deserves more research and public attention. Plus segments on actor Mark Ruffalo calling Biden administration officials "war criminals," the Trump administration's threats to sanction the U.K. for opposing Israel's West Bank settlements and Trump's diabolical plan to steal the midterm elections. Also featuring Tony Heller, Stef Zamorano, Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Kash Patel!
