Key Segments & Discussion Points
1. Satirical Opener: Kamala Supporter Calls In
Timestamps: 01:22–07:35
- Premise: Dore is called by the over-the-top “Kamala Supporter,” who gushes about a fictional Kamala Harris book ("107 Days"), blaming everyone but Harris for her political fate.
- Jimmy Dore’s Take: Dismisses the praise, poking fun at the lack of introspection and the cult of political personalities.
- Satirical Look at Memoirs: The bit skewers political tell-alls as self-serving and “utopian” retellings.
Memorable Quotes:
- Kamala Supporter: "She is the most important woman so far of the 21st century, maybe all centuries." (02:44)
- Jimmy Dore: "Just because Kamala Harris makes an obvious point that everyone agrees with doesn't make this the best book ever written." (03:28)
2. James Comey Indictment Deep Dive
Timestamps: 07:57–30:51
2.1 Summary of the Indictment
- Comey indicted on two federal charges: making false statements and obstruction of justice.
- Dore frames Comey as a “sleazeball” and highlights Comey’s self-righteous public persona.
2.2 Critique of Political Prosecutions
- Dore claims the real scandal is bipartisan: “Everything they're accusing Trump of doing right now... they did to him first." (10:26)
- Cites the origins of “Russiagate” as knowingly fabricated by the intelligence establishment and Obama administration.
- Clip analysis: Lindsey Graham questions Comey's credibility regarding the FISA court and surveillance of the Trump campaign.
Key Quote:
- Lindsey Graham: “If an FBI director can mislead a court to get a warrant against American citizens to further a political conspiracy to destroy somebody you don't like, we're in a world of hurt... The rule of law has died. That's the big issue in this case.” (17:27)
2.3 General Flynn Case Explored
- Details how Flynn was targeted via “two hop” surveillance, and charged not for crimes with Russia, but for lying about a (tapped) conversation.
- Comey is heard bragging about breaking protocol to send FBI agents to interview Flynn, exposing manipulation of White House procedures.
- Dore: “So all he had to do was misremember something, and they charged him with that, then they threatened to prosecute his kid. So then he's like, all right, I'll take a deal…” (24:06)
2.4 Problems for Trump’s Prosecution
- Trump’s Truth Social post, possibly intended as a DM, is aired publicly—giving Comey ammunition to say prosecution is political.
- Career DOJ prosecutors resisted the case, warning it likely won’t succeed and citing ethics risks.
Key Quote:
- Jimmy Dore: “Some people say, what did he think he was sending a dm? No... what that will do is give James Comey ammunition to say this is a political prosecution.” (26:30)
3. YouTube, Google, and Censorship Under Biden
Timestamps: 32:11–48:52
3.1 Google Admits Censorship Under Biden
- House Judiciary Committee pressures Google, leading to Google admitting it censored YouTube accounts for political speech at the behest of the Biden administration.
- Dore claims he was personally targeted: “If they came out for YouTube, you'd see my name on there. And the White House saying, you got to take down Jimmy Dore.” (33:02)
- Claims censorship wasn’t just against COVID vaccine skepticism, but for political and election-content as well.
3.2 Section 230 Debate & Permanent Consequences
- Dore and guests argue that by curating and censoring, Google acts as a publisher/editor, thus shouldn’t be protected under Section 230.
- View that "admissions" from Google are performative and no real accountability will come.
Memorable Moment:
- Jimmy Dore: “You don't get throttled for lying. You get throttled for telling the truth.” (37:56)
- Robert Malone quote, on censorship’s irreparable harm: “I can't ever get back the ability to defend myself during this period against those attacks.” (39:19)
3.3 Supreme Court and Consequences
- Supreme Court tossed a case against the Biden admin for social media pressure—not for lack of misconduct, but “lack of standing.”
- Dore’s conclusion: “Nothing will happen. Except they had to say this letter.” (47:49)
4. U.S. Intelligence, Syria, and the Al Qaeda “Allies”
Timestamps: 48:52–63:00
4.1 John Kiriakou on Al Qaeda, ISIS, and U.S. Policy
- Dore and ex-CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou discuss how U.S. policies have shifted to support former “enemies” in Syria, referencing embarrassing U.S. photo-ops with known jihadist figures.
- Kiriakou details his encounter with Daniel Pearl and exposes the absurdity of ("now friends with") former head-choppers.
- Both argue U.S. used Al Qaeda/ISIS as “assets” to further geopolitical ends in Syria.
Key Quotes:
- Jimmy Dore: “I’m a thousand percent sure that the United States and the Mossad invented ISIS and Al Qaeda... so we can now use them as an excuse to go bomb and overturn any country we want.” (58:48)
- John Kiriakou: “[Jelani] was not only a senior member of Al Qaeda, he was the deputy founder of ISIS. Why? Because Al Qaeda wasn't radical enough.” (55:54)
4.2 Stinger Missiles & U.S. Blowback
- Kiriakou shares first-hand accounts of the U.S. trying to buy back Stinger missiles it gave to the Mujahideen—highlighting the folly and dangers of U.S. foreign aid to militant groups.

Useful for Non-Listeners
This episode is essential Dore: it provides his skeptical analysis of establishment narratives (Comey/Russiagate, government censorship), exposes U.S. policy double-standards (Al Qaeda flipping from foe to meet with U.S. officials), and features whistleblower testimony (Kiriakou), all interspersed with Dore’s satirical and brash comedic style. If you want to understand the critical arguments and indignation about recent developments in American justice and media from a heterodox left position, this episode is a must.
