The Jimmy Dore Show

In this episode, Jimmy discusses Glenn Greenwald's recent appearance on Piers Morgan's program, focusing on a debate with former Mumford & Sons band member Winston Marshall over Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, political expression by musicians, and comparisons between the Free Palestine movement and Black Lives Matter. Greenwald argues that Sheeran's criticism and pressure surrounding Macklemore's removal from his tour should be distinguished from the kind of public criticism Sheeran has received.
The discussion then expands into allegations about Israel's conduct in Gaza, civilian casualties, the October 7 attacks, and the treatment of journalists, with Jimmy pointing to the estimated 75,000+ violent deaths in Gaza through early January 2025, with women, children, and older people comprising 56.2% of those deaths, while CPJ has documented very high numbers of journalists killed in the conflict. 
The segment concludes with broader arguments about celebrity political responsibility, censorship, artistic expression, and whether wealthy entertainers should publicly take positions on contentious political issues.
Plus segments on Trump's hamfisted effort to ban CNN & MSNOW reporters from the White House, why Trump's latest threat to nuke Iran should be taken seriously and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani caving to pressure and abandoning threats to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.

In this episode Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger mock Ed Sheeran's recent response to the outcry after he banned Macklemore from his tour over Gaza, focusing on Sheeran's statement on stage that the situation in Gaza is "catastrophic and unjustifiable" while emphasizing that his shows should remain centered on "unity." Jimmy lights into Sheeran, pointing out that his "both sides" remarks ignore the political context of the conflict and questions his decision to perform at venues associated with people or institutions connected to Israel. 
The discussion also covers reactions from pro-Palestinian activists, criticism of Sheeran's subsequent apology for discussing Gaza during the concert, and broader arguments about celebrity influence, wealth, and political speech. The segment concludes by encouraging viewers to look beyond political divisions and scrutinize the relationships between entertainers, wealthy donors, governments, and media institutions.
Plus segments on Israel's cratering popularity among the American public and Children Health Defense's Mary Talley Bowden writing a letter to Trump and RFK threatening to pull support from the MAHA movement.

Jimmy argues that the United States operates under a form of "socialism for the rich," where government policies and financial interventions transfer wealth upward while ordinary workers face stagnant wages, inflation, high housing costs, and economic insecurity. He criticizes bank bailouts, quantitative easing, military spending, corporate subsidies, and the influence of Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and other powerful industries, arguing that these policies disproportionately benefit wealthy interests. 
He also discusses Medicare, unions, immigration, homelessness, and policing, maintaining that public anger is deliberately directed toward poorer people, immigrants, or political opponents instead of toward institutions and wealthy interests that he believes drive economic inequality. The central message is that working- and middle-class Americans should avoid turning against one another and instead recognize our shared economic struggle against an oligarchic system.
Plus segments on Fox News host Jesse Watters downplaying Macklemore's calls for "Free Palestine," Trump caving to the Houthis in Yemen over the Red Sea and Candace Owens calling BS on the recent defacing of Charlie Kirk's statue at TPUSA.

After Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour for saying "Free Palestine," Sheeran's opening acts and band quit, citing Zionist lobbying and solidarity with Palestinians. Sheeran defended himself by claiming Macklemore's contract was with the promoter, not him, and said he wouldn't abandon fans, crew, or other acts—but Jimmy argues that Sheeran did abandon Macklemore and is complicit in censorship. 
Jimmy contends all art is political, neutrality in injustice favors the oppressor, and Sheeran cannot claim to be apolitical while letting a billionaire silence pro-Palestine speech. The segment also ties the controversy to broader entertainment-industry power, including agent Casey Wasserman's Epstein links and Netanyahu praise, framing it as part of Zionist control and double standards.
Plus segments on the coming "cyber pandemic" that will be used by elites as an excuse to steal your savings and the $2.8 billion weapons "sale" to Israel that YOU are paying for!

Guest host Garland Nixon and Hard Lens Media's Kit Cabello discuss Macklemore being removed from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour after shouting "Free Palestine" at a recent MetLife Stadium show. Macklemore posted on Instagram that Robert Kraft threatened to block Sheeran's show from Gillette Stadium and rallied other venue owners, forcing Sheeran to choose between keeping Macklemore and retaining access to their venues. 
At the same time the Israeli American Council petitioned to have Macklemore dropped, while Pink and Boy George also criticized him, all of which the hosts frame as billionaire and Israel-linked censorship of artistic free speech. They argue that if venue owners can silence Macklemore for pro-Palestine speech, they can do the same to any artist who steps out of line, making it a free-speech issue for everyone.
Plus segments on the Houthis in Yemen capturing abandoned American military hardware and Twitter banning user "Parody Jeff" for getting Grok to admit that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
