“Jimmy Dore is outrageous and outraged, bothersome and bothered. A crucial, profane, passionate voice for progressives and free-thinkers in 21st century America. Jimmy will anger you if you’re a conservative and enrage you if you’re a liberal.”—Patton Oswalt

    WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returned to his homeland Australia aboard a charter jet and raised a celebratory clenched fist as his supporters cheered Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to obtaining and publishing U.S. military secrets in a deal with Justice Department prosecutors that concludes a drawn-out legal saga. The Australian government chartered a private jet to take Assange home, but is insisting that Assange pay back the government for the flight’s $520,000 price tag

    Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this final insult directed at Assange and the crowdfunding campaign underway to help him defray the costs.
