The Jimmy Dore Show

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.

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.

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.

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.
