The days of the American empire are numbered, says journalist Chris Hedges, and the evidence is all too clear for anyone who’s studied history. Our rampant militarism abroad combined with neglect of the domestic needs of any but the wealthiest citizens describe a grim future for the United States, he says. And if you think progressives in government might help us avoid that destiny, think again – The Squad and their ilk are merely controlled opposition designed to provide false hope for change.  Jimmy and Americans’ comedian Kurt Metzger discuss with Hedges the calamity that elites have wrought in condemning the United States empire to the dustbin of history.  Plus a segment on actor Sean Penn's cringe-worthy fawning over Volodymyr Zelensky at the recent Golden Globes. Also featuring Aaron Maté, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Vince Vaughn!

“ Jimmy Dore is outrageous and outraged, bothersome and bothered, a crucial, profane, passionate voice for progressives and freethinkers in 21st century America.” -Patton Oswalt

After much debate, consternation and wheeling and dealing, House Speaker Mike Johnson has navigated a series of bills to provide more than $90 billion in war funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Republicans were much more likely to oppose the bills, in particular the Ukraine funding, but Johnson pushed the funding through primarily with the help of Democrats. Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Jimmy, Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger and Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss to discuss whether Democrats will help Johnson retain his speakership if members of the Freedom Caucus move to oust him. Plus segments on the Senate renewing warrantly surveillance to allow the intelligence agencies to continue spying on Americans and Tucker Carlson claiming that those intelligence agencies have the entire Congress terrified about their darkest secrets coming out. Also featuring Mischa Paullin!

Young, handsome, famous and profiled in the New York Times? Life is pretty sweet for Jackson Hinkle, even if the Times profile in question consists of equal parts smear job and puff piece. In fact, the entire article is riddled with innuendo, aspersions and intimations — without any actual evidence — that Hinkle is spreading misinformation and is being paid by nefarious foreign governments. Oh, and he pockets money given to him by supporters online! Imagine! Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Hinkle about the unusual coverage he received care of the New York Times.  Plus a segment on the recent Congressional vote to gut Americans’ 4th amendment privacy rights.

New York Times TRIES To Smear Jackson Hinkle & FAILS!

Plus segments on comedian Bill Burr’s takedown of the argument that WNBA players should be paid more and GOP Congress members Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Thomas Massie moving to vacate the Speakership of MIke Johnson.

Former Iraqi weapons inspector Scott Ritter has emerged as one of the premier critics of American foreign policy, and lately has set his sights on Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza and the recent strikes on Israel from Iran. The strikes were much more successful than the mainstream media is letting on, he tells Jimmy, and shocked Israel with how well they circumvented the much-vaunted Iron Dome defense system. Ritter joins Jimmy to explain just how calamitously Israel’s defenses performed against the Iranian aerial assault and why the outcome is either an ignominious defeat for Israel or a dramatic and globally perilous escalation. Plus a segment on RFK Jr.’s announcement that he was offered the VP spot by the Trump campaign but turned it down. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

The “Iron Dome” COMPLETELY FAILED! – Scott Ritter

Investigative journalist Lee Fang appeared on The Jimmy Dore Show to describe the sprawling constellation of media outlets in Ukraine, organized with substantial funding and direction from the U.S. government, that has supported strong censorship laws and shutdowns of dissident outlets, disseminated disinformation of its own, and sought to silence critics of the war, including Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald and Aaron Maté.  American taxpayers are indirectly funding their own censorship to aid the floundering Ukraine war effort, Fang tells Jimmy.  Plus a segment on a secret recording of a CIA agent revealing the agency’s targeting of Alex Jones.  Also featuring Keaton Weiss, Russell Dobular and Mike MacRae. And phone calls from Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer!
