New users have piled in to Chinese social media app RedNote just days before a proposed U.S. ban on the popular social media app TikTok is scheduled to go into effect. The lesser-known RedNote is rushing to capitalize on the sudden influx while walking a delicate line of moderating English-language content.

Meanwhile, Americans flocking to RedNote are expressing shock at what they’re learning about Chinese culture and the surprisingly comfortable conditions the Chinese people live in.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to journalist Danny Haiphong about the propaganda most Americans are exposed to regarding China and how RedNote is unexpectedly helping tear down cross-cultural barriers.

A ceasefire agreement has been reached between the Israeli government and Hamas after untold devastation to Gaza and tens of thousands of deaths. While Palestinians across Gaza have been cheering the deal, Israelis poured into the streets to register their objection to any agreement, insisting that Netanyahu keep the genocidal assault going.

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast, along with guest Jimmy Dore, discuss whether the Palestinians or Israelis are more brainwashed.

Plus segments on the political theater that passed for Pete Hegeth’s confirmation hearing and Governor Gavin Newsom’s weird shoulder shimmy while talking to reporters about the LA fires.

One area of contention within the MAGA movement is over the question of Israel. Many Trump supporters are adamantly anti-Israel and wish to sever the close ties between the US and the Jewish state. Within the Trump camp, however, there is near unanimity in offering unconditional support for Israel in its genocidal assault on Gaza and aspirations for expansion into what’s termed “Greater Israel.”

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast talk with Black Conservative Perspective host Greg Foreman about why MAGA will never do anything to change the Trump administration’s policy on Israel.

Plus segments on the LA fire chief’s foreknowledge of empty reservoirs and broken hydrants and the prison laborers being used as virtual slaves to fight the LA fires.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom was confronted by a mother in Los Angeles County who said her daughter's school burned down as several fires have devastated the region this week.  In a video aired by SkyNews, the woman approached Gov. Newsom in the middle of a street surrounded by burned-down buildings.

"I live here, governor. That was my daughter's school. Governor, please tell me what you're going to do," she pleaded with Newsom. 

The governor responded, "I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter." The woman then asked if she could hear the call with the president "because I don't believe it." Newsom then showed her his phone screen and said he couldn't get through to the president. 

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast talk discuss whether his administration’s utter failure over the LA fires will completely douse Newsom’s presidential prospects.

Plus segments on sentencing in Donald Trump’s New York hush money case and Joe Biden and LA Mayor Karen Bass fumbling and bumbling reaction to the raging fires.

Meta will get rid of fact-checkers, “dramatically reduce the amount of censorship” and recommend more political content on its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Threads, founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced.

In a video message, Zuckerberg vowed to prioritize free speech after the return of Donald Trump to the White House and said that, starting in the US, he would “get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X”.

Zuckerberg said Meta’s “fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created”.

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast discuss the move from Zuckerberg, and the sordid history of fact checking at Facebook.

According to authorities, the recent New Year’s attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas are likely the work of ISIS and Al Qaeda, who are determined to initiate attacks on the U.S. homeland and terrorize the American populace. According to investigative journalist and author Whitney Webb, however, these incidents actually have the hallmarks of U.S. and Israel-based intelligence operations, although the objective — terrifying the American people — remains the same.

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast discuss with Webb what about these attacks and the historical record leads her to conclude that the CIA and others are probably involved.

Popular comedian Whitney Cummings caused quite a stir during the recent CNN New Year’s Eve broadcast with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen as she hilariously gored sacred cows left and right, alternately skewering Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democrats over the massive coverup of Biden’s dementia, Pfizer for pushing a vaccine of dubious efficacy on the whole country and even CNN itself for plummeting ratings.

Whitney joins Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger to discuss her now-legendary performance and the pushback she’s inevitably received for promoting “conspiracy theories.”

Plus a segment on the resurfacing of Stephen Colbert’s awkward moment trying to silence Claire Danes as the actress began explaining that members of the intelligence community had told her of their adversarial relationship with the Trump administration.

The number of homeless in the United States has grown by a third during the Biden years despite steady economic growth since the end of the pandemic. So how did this happen? Why did a rising tide not only fail to lift all boats, but now threatens to drown an even greater number of Americans living on the margins -- and under bridges, on sidewalks and in their cars?

Jimmy speaks with Food Not Bombs founder Keith McHenry about the history of homelessness, why the problem remains so entrenched in the U.S. and why purported attempts to solve it have failed so spectacularly.

Jimmy and McHenry then discuss where the tens of billions of dollars that have been allocated to solve the homelessness crisis really went since they’re obviously not being used as intended by the voting public.

A new year is upon us, and nearly everyone wants to know what’s going to happen — whether with the economy, the stock market, the Trump administration and all the other important arenas that affect our lives. Cue expert trend analyst Gerald Celente, who speaks with Jimmy about which direction the political, economic and social winds are blowing, and what to expect from the coming months.

Former Presidential candidate and current Trump advisor Vivek Ramaswamy caused quite a stir within the MAGA movement when he degraded US culture, suggesting that Americans no longer value excellence and instead pursue mediocrity. As a result, he says, we need to import more H1-B workers from places like India and China to restore American greatness. 

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Trump supporters are pushing back against Vivek, Elon Musk and others seeking to leverage the MAGA movement to support increasing immigration.

Plus a segment with Max Blumenthal on the mad dash among the United States, Israel, Turkey and various Islamist terror groups to divvy up the spoils and create a failed state in what was once Syria.
