The Jimmy Dore Show

Whether prominent politicians like Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama or billionaire industrialists like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, they all want to deal with the looming climate crisis. And they also don’t want to have to sacrifice personally in any way. And that’s why they fly in private jets, build mega-mansions and, in Obama’s case anyway, lecture poor people in third world countries about why they can’t have cars and air conditioning. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this “sacrifice for thee, but not for me” approach so many of the ruling class apply to dealing with climate change. Plus segments on the Canadian government’s continued persecution of the protesting trucker and a Florida woman facing terrorism charges for responding angrily when her medical treatment was declined by her health insurance provider. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and RB Ham.

If you want to know how the United States will gin up the impending war with Iran, we need only look to the past, and previous wars we’ve artificially precipitated with phony catalysts. So explained Middle East scholar Patrick Clawson in a now-notorious speech as he ADVOCATED for what he called “crisis initiation” to make war with Iran happen. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Clawson’s description of past “crisis initiations” that have led to wars like the attack on the Maine, Pearl Harbor, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Plus segments on the conviction of Uhuru Movement members on conspiracy charges for “weaponizing free speech” and a health insurance provider backtracking on refusing to cover the cost of anasthesia after the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. Also featuring Uhuru Movement Chairman Omali Yeshitela, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!

Now that Syria’s longtime president Bashar al-Assad has fled the country, the leader of one of the rebel groups that helped drive Assad from power has filled the vacuum, becoming the nation’s new de facto president. His name is Muhammad Al-Jawlani, and he heads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a group the United States has branded a terrorist organization. There is even a $10 million reward currently being offered for bringing al-Jawlani to justice. Jimmy and his guest, journalist Richard Medhurst, discuss what is essentially a terrorist takeover of Syria, and one financed largely by the United States. Plus segments on longstanding U.S. plans to “take out” Syria, along with six other Middle Eastern and North African nations and the declaration from American officials that we have no plans to give up the third of Syrian territory we currently occupy. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!

Internal discussions at the White House (that may or may not involve Joe Biden depending on how lucid he is that day) have been underway regarding potential preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, Democratic Senator-Elect Adam Schiff and any number of others who have in recent years come under withering Republican criticism. These would be blanket pardons, seeing as how none have been formally charged with any crimes. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Democrats’ desperation to avoid accountability for the COVID response, the January 6th investigations and Russiagate, all while maintaining a pretense of caring deeply about the “rule of law.” Plus a segment on UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s admission that the immigration crisis in Europe and the United States was all part of a plan. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from George Clooney!
