“ Jimmy Dore is outrageous and outraged, bothersome and bothered, a crucial, profane, passionate voice for progressives and freethinkers in 21st century America...
In what can only be described as a stunning reversal on a key political issues, Republicans have now siezed the mantle of supporting free speech away from Democrats — mostly owing to Democrats’ support for efforts to counter what they call “misinformation” and “hate speech” online. But now Donald Trump appears to be willing to crack down on speech he doesn’t like as well, in particular criticisms of Israel and support for Palestinians. Jimmy and investigative journalist Matt Taibbi discuss just how much Trump’s proposed measures against protesters will undermine his free speech bona fides among the MAGA faithful. Plus segments with Taibbi on Trump exposing the likes of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders as pro-war tools, CNN’s post-speech poll showing wide-ranging support for Trump’s stated agenda and Zelensky rethinking his stance of pissing off Trump and coming crawling back to make peace with Russia.

Zelensky Is A PAWN Stuck Between NATO & Ukrainian Neo-N@zis!
In 2019 historian and Russia expert Stephen F. Cohen sat down with journalist Aaron Maté to discuss Ukraine’s newly elected President, Volodymyr Zelensky, and the threats he faced from neo-Nazi militants in his own country who were pressing to escalate the civil war in the east of Ukraine despite Zelensky running on a peace platform. Zelensky, of course, caved to the pressure from these ultranationalist elements, as well as NATO, both of whom wanted Ukraine to go to war with Russia, and now we face the end game which could mean the end for Zelensky’s presidency, and worse. Plus segments on Putin’s offer of Russian rare earth metals to the United States, a Zelensky supporter bawling over his treatment by Donald Trump and Joy Behar begging Elon Musk not to sue her after she claimed, falsely, that he supported apartheid in South Africa.

Ukraine DESPERATELY Regretting Not Signing 2022 Peace Deal! w/ The Duran
In 2022, shortly after Russian troops rolled across the border into the Donbas region of Ukraine, negotiators for both sides met and hammered out an agreement to end the fighting — a deal that would have maintained the Donbas as a semi-autonomous region of Ukraine and let Ukraine proceed with plans to join the EU. Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky turned down the deal, however, at the behest of NATO, and now the Ukrainian people are dealing with the fallout of this terrible decision. Jimmy and The Duran hosts Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou discuss the details of the 2022 agreement and how much more Ukraine will now have to concede to end the war. Plus segments on a recent poll indicating that 71% of Trump voters oppose cuts to Medicaid and the nothingburger revelations in the most recent and highly ballyhooed Epstein files release. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Elon Musk!
