The Jimmy Dore Show

Trump has apparently backed off from his threats to seize Greenland and impose tariffs on Europe after NATO leaders paused an EU-U.S. trade deal and pushed for negotiations. Jimmy argues the retreat is likely temporary, suggesting Trump still seeks long-term access to Arctic security arrangements, military bases, and Greenland's mineral resources. 
He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger frame the episode as evidence that NATO and donor interests—especially the military-industrial complex—shape U.S. policy more than public promises. The discussion also criticizes NATO's role in global conflicts and suggests that a true break with NATO would be politically unlikely despite Trump's rhetoric.

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss claims circulating online confirming that Erika Kirk is connected to Arizona's Fort Huachuca and was seen there with people tied to a now-unmade film project linked to defense and technology themes. Candace Owens and her source, Mitch Snow, provided the basis for this claim, and pushback from others was focused on attacking the informant's character rather than addressing the substance of the assertion, Jimmy says. 
The discussion also dives into speculation about broader connections between pundits, intelligence bases, Hollywood projects, and military contractors, mixing personal history with suspicion about influence and "handlers."

Jimmy Dore and The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal respond to Steve Bannon's claim that Trump has rejected a large-scale bombing campaign on Iran and that the Iranian government is supposedly on the verge of collapse. Max argues that the opposite is true, saying sanctions have failed to topple the state, pro-government rallies are massive, and a U.S. or Israeli attack would likely unify the population around the government. 
Max warns that Israel and hawkish U.S. politicians like Lindsey Graham are still pressuring Trump to escalate and draw the U.S. into a long regional war, and could succeed in those efforts. The two conclude by pointing out that regime-change fantasies ignore Iran's history, political base, and the catastrophic outcomes of similar interventions in Iraq and Syria.

It's become apparent that recent ICE raids are largely performative, aimed at signaling toughness to a political base rather than enforcing immigration law in the places where most undocumented labor actually occurs. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point out that ICE recruitment and training standards are dangerously low, citing an investigative account in which a writer was quickly "onboarded" with minimal screening. 
Comedians and podcasters Tim Dillon and Joe Rogan are quoted criticizing masked, militarized street arrests as abusive, prone to mistakes, and harmful to public trust. The segment concludes that the raids distract from unmet campaign promises and broader policy failures, while putting unqualified agents and civilians at risk.

Great news! Remember how Donald Trump used to talk about cutting the U.S. military budget in half and making peace with China and Russia? Well, that's all over because Trump is now calling for a massive INCREASE in the Pentagon budget to $1.5 trillion. 
Guest host Chris Keene and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that this dramatic flip-flop contradicts Trump's anti-war rhetoric on the campaign trail and primarily serves the interests of defense contractors, tech firms, and oligarchs rather than public safety. They criticize media and bipartisan political elites for normalizing endless militarization while homelessness, poverty, and social decay worsen at home. The discussion frames the spending surge as part of a broader drift toward global conflict and a clear example of how campaign promises collapse once power is secured.
Plus segments on how recent out-of-control episodes involving ICE are all part of a larger plan for cracking down on Americans' civil rights and why Trump is taking the wrong approach to the unrest in Iran.
