The Jimmy Dore Show

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. Plus segments on journalists Max Blumenthal and Sam Husseini being forcibly removed from Antony Blinken’s last press briefing as Secretary of State as well as CNN’s shocking response to this assault on the free press.

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. Also featuring Mike MacRae! And a phone call from David Axelrod!

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. Also featuring Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!
