Date: February 9, 2026
Host: Jimmy Dore
Notable Participants: Co-Host/Commentator, Erica Kirk (Former TPUSA), Guest Analyst
Theme: Jimmy Dore eviscerates Noam Chomsky’s recent exposed ties with Jeffrey Epstein, arguing these details confirm Chomsky was always an asset for establishment power—contrary to his dissident persona. The show also critiques Chomsky’s dismissive stances on major issues, from JFK/9-11 conspiracies, to COVID mandates, health care, and Israel/Palestine, ultimately suggesting he’s “deep state” compromised. The episode also covers internal controversies at TPUSA and briefly lampoons Senator Lindsey Graham.

Episode Overview

Jimmy Dore leverages newly released Epstein communications and decades of Chomsky’s own statements to make an aggressive case that the revered linguist and leftist intellectual was long aligned with elite establishment interests. Dore and guests revisit Chomsky’s public record—from his attitudes on historic assassinations and terrorism to healthcare and pandemic policy—illustrating a consistent pattern of protecting ruling class narratives and dismissing "conspiracy theories" as dangerous distractions. The show fiercely critiques both Chomsky’s alleged hypocrisy and those who continue to defend him.

Key Discussion Points

1. Chomsky’s Ties with Jeffrey Epstein

[01:04–11:00]

• Jimmy introduces the crux: newly released files suggest Chomsky "was most likely compromised by the intelligence community—not only because he comes straight out of MIT, but because of [what] he did and said."
• Chomsky gave Jeffrey Epstein PR advice years after Epstein’s first conviction for underage sex trafficking.
  • Quote (Chomsky, via email to Epstein, read by Dore):

    “I've watched the horrible way you are being treated in the press and public… I think the best way to proceed is to ignore it… Vultures, they want a public response…” [05:15]

• Epstein invited Chomsky (and wife) to "New York or the Caribbean," and Chomsky replied that he was "fantasizing about the Caribbean island." [08:11]
• Emails revealed meetings with Epstein and possibly Woody Allen, leading Dore to joke, "manufacturing consent has a whole new meaning now." [09:29]

2. Chomsky's Record on Conspiracy and Ruling Class Coordination

[10:00–15:03]

• Chomsky is quoted dismissing both JFK and 9/11 conspiracy theories as not worth investigating.
  • Quote (Chomsky, referenced):

    "Even if we're true, which is extremely unlikely, who cares?" [10:29] "Who knows? Who cares? I mean, plenty of people get killed all the time. Why does it matter that one of them happened to be John F. Kennedy?" [11:32]

• Dore: “That was a coup of our government… That's why it matters. He knows this, and so there's nothing that makes me crazier than when a guy who I know is 10 times smarter than me acts like he's dumber than me.” [13:53]

3. Chomsky on COVID, Vaccine Mandates, and Social Exclusion

[16:03–19:14]

• Chomsky argued during COVID that those who refuse vaccines should self-isolate or, if they refuse, face community-enforced measures.
  • Quote (Chomsky):

    “…people who refuse to accept vaccines, the right response… is not to force them to, but rather to insist that they be isolated…” [16:03] "How can we get food to them? Well, that's actually their problem." [19:08]

• Dore attacks these views as inhumane, likening them to “propaganda” and an abdication of the worker’s interests.

  “Here he is screwing the workers and screwing anybody who doesn't go along with Big Pharma and the Deep State's agenda.” [20:02]

4. Chomsky on Health Policy and Medicare for All ("Force the Vote")

[21:15–29:04]

• Dore details how Chomsky dismissed the demand for a floor vote on Medicare for All (during a rare window with Democratic control)—likening supporters to “children who want candy.”
  • Quote (Chomsky):

    "Children who say, I want this piece of candy…" [27:45]

• Dore: “That's verbatim what Hillary Clinton would say about Medicare for all… He's referring to health care in the middle of a pandemic as candy. That's the exact talking points that came directly from the deep state.” [27:47]
• Dore frames Chomsky as an establishment gatekeeper who always tells voters to "vote Democrat," never supporting true outside activism.

5. Chomsky’s Foreign Policy/Iran/Israel & BDS

[29:12–31:49]

• Brief summary of Chomsky’s positions: anti-BDS, supports “two-state” liberal Zionism, and adopts State Department lines on global conflicts.
• Readout from online commentator Jason Zaharis [30:10]:

  "Noam Chomsky was a poison on the American left. He taught many generations to dismiss ruling class coordination as a conspiracy theory… Meanwhile, he was dining with Jeffrey Epstein…"

6. Broader Critique of Chomsky's Legacy

[33:21–34:18]

• Dore and guest agree: “I knew he was full of shit during force to vote. That was it for me. JFK, 9/11, every four years telling you to vote for the duopoly… Never told you to protest for anything, always funneled energy back to the establishment.” [33:21]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Jimmy Dore:

  “Chomsky was exactly as I suspected. He was most likely compromised by the intelligence community…” [01:04] “If you can give me a better reason than he's compromised by the intelligence community, I'll listen to it. But I haven't heard a better explanation of why he would say this crazy stupid stuff…” [12:37]

• On Chomsky’s PR advice to Epstein:

  “For virtually everyone who sees any of this, the reaction will be, where there's smoke, there's fire… Whatever the facts, which few will even think of investigating… Hard to say, but it's the best advice I can think of.” [06:30, Chomsky via email]

• Co-host:

  “Remember, Chomsky was hysterical about Steve Bannon, but here they all are, all chummy.” [08:02]

Additional Segments

The TPUSA Firing Scandal

[51:57–58:46]

• Former employee Erica Kirk discusses being fired from Turning Point USA after questioning the narrative around Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
  • Quote (Erica Kirk):

    “I was terminated from Turning Point because I am questioning the narrative of what happened to my role model and CEO Charlie Kirk…” [51:57]

• Dore and analyst argue this exposes the organization’s hypocrisy and authoritarian culture.

Lindsey Graham Lampooned

[35:19–47:32]

“Deep-State” & International Plots

[46:47–47:34]

• Brief speculation on international “deep state” operations, foreign interference, and Mossad/CIA allegations, blending in wider conspiracy rhetoric.

Tone & Style

Raw, provocative, and irreverent—the tone is classic Jimmy Dore: combative, sarcastic, contemptuous toward establishment narratives, and fiercely populist. Guests match this energy, contributing biting asides and conspiracy-laden commentary.

Takeaways for New Listeners

• Jimmy Dore forcefully rejects Chomsky’s dissident credentials, arguing exposed Epstein connections confirm a lifelong pro-establishment pattern.
• Chomsky’s dismissals of establishment crime/cover-up, suppression of left populism, and “contempt for ordinary people” are portrayed as calculated, rather than naïve.
• Listeners are encouraged to see “left icons” like Chomsky as designed safety valves filtering and funneling dissent back into the system.

Standout Moments

• Chomsky’s “Who cares?” on JFK:

  "Who knows? Who cares? …Why does it matter that one of them happened to be John F. Kennedy?" [11:32]

• On COVID restrictions:

  “If [the unvaccinated] refuse to remove themselves from the community, then measures have to be taken to safeguard the community from them… how do we get food to them? That's their problem.” [18:25, 19:08]

• On Medicare for all:

  "Children who say, I want this piece of candy..." [27:45]

• Epstein connection punchline:

  "Manufacturing consent has a whole new meaning now." [09:29]

Summary:
This episode is a relentless exposé and character assassination of Noam Chomsky, using the Epstein revelations as a springboard for concluding that Chomsky was always “compromised.” Dore employs a blend of ridicule, documented quotes, and conspiracy rhetoric, linking Chomsky’s legacy to broader arguments about systemic control and the futility of mainstream politics. Secondary features include skewering of contemporary establishment figures and leftist institutions seen as similarly corrupt or captured.
