The Jimmy Dore Show
U.S. Government spending (that we know of) on the Ukraine War is soon going to top $100 billion and there are many indications that a substantial portion of those funds have not ended up in the right hands. Which is why we need oversight of the Ukraine War funding, right? Wrong, says Democratic House Representative Adam Smith, who also – get this – chairs the House Armed Services Committee. Investigating Ukraine spending would be an exercise in “Russian propaganda,” Smith says.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how a call for basic oversight of government spending can qualify as “Putin propaganda.”

thats why they want to hier 87000 irs workers so they can try and recoup some money from the middle class workers
It's astonishing to me how cheap our political whores sell themselves for.
The funny thing is you know even though nobody wants this you could tell this bonehead Adam Smith guy, "what if we give The Ukraine an extra billion every time to have an oversight dept.", and it would either be racist or phobic, or suddenly we wouldn't have the money for 1 extra billion.
The reason that you have branches of government is to check and balance, to actual oversight to be endemic of what they should be doing on an hourly basis on any money that was spent to know what was spent on, to get to where it was supposed to… if that is supposed to be propaganda of any form, it should be for a government running to how it's supposed to… that isn't an outside influence that's proper internal workings of governance.. if that they were actually running properly, they would be getting praised, and they're not, as why they want to call it propaganda as if it's an outside source, when it never was… because their crapping their pants… internally in government in all the branches… because they know realise their being ripped off by Ukraine… and have been at every time they threw money to Ukraine… the money and weapons are not winning the war like they thought it would.. maybe because there is no money or weapons being used to a war they were losing when they didn't even have radio's… or commanders to call on those non-existent radio's because their all mostly dead, or ran away in their wives' dresses.
Oversight is Racist!
Why? If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!
The man who doesn't want transparency and accountability obviously has something to hide.
Self proclaimed crazy Congress”people” need to walk themselves into the oversight committee and surrender themselves.
I saw a recent video of a Ukrainian soldier willing to sell Javelins in order to get warm clothes, food and water for his men. So, there's that.
Dout could probably itemize the spending.
If voting mattered, Jimmy. It doesn't.
Can’t they just loose all this money in Ukraine like the pentagon lost it here?
Canada's socialist Healthcare system is offering to kill you if they can't afford you now. They are thinking about extending that to kids! Absolutely sickening.
Ukraine is as well armed as Afganistan even with only 30% of the supplies getting through!
Adam Smith can say that because he knows full well no one is listening or cares. At least anyone who could do something about it. We don't matter one rats ass. The US spends more on the military than the other 9 countries listed there.
most of those weapons probably never gets made
Thanks for keeping us informed in regards to the undemocratic, corrupt party. Yes, jimmy, i agree,Russia, Putin, Hassan are not our enemy, our enemy is this party who represents the military industrial complex. Now I ask everyone, when are we gonna take to the streets & begin protesting?
Unhinged and Democrat are redundant.
Censorship and Democrat are redundant.
Propaganda and Democrat are redundant.
Republican establishment and Democrat are redundant.
MAGA and Classical Liberal are redundant. Both love freedom from government and non-government oppression.
kratos makes drones , space and microwave wheapons
Democrats time to admit your party is by far the worst one
So funny😂😂😂 why Ukraine? Sounds like a slushy fund. Joe Biden 4 more years. Blue wave. Carlin was right.
They can track every cell phone on Earth with two small chips that cost less than a dollar. But they can't install tracking on multi-million-dollar weapons? File that under the category of " things that make you say, Hmmm?"
There's a company called Kratos, God of War comes 2 mind when I hear that name.
Bruh Kurt ain’t adding anything to this show pls get someone else
The word propaganda has no meaning anymore.
"Ukraine is spending the money really well, that's why their winning"
Ok. What does "winning" look like to you?
Cause we've been through this one before (afghanistan) and not that long ago. And we were told over and over that we were winning until we lost DEFINITIVELY and HUMILIATINGLY in one fell swoop only to realize that we had in fact been losing all along.
Just saying.
THE UKRAINE WAR IS A MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME
if there are "growing concerns"for over sight,it means people are finally waking up.
They had GPS on guns used in operation fast and furious but now they expect us believe they use paper?!
This country is going down! I give it 100 yrs at most
How the f*ck is making sure weapons get to Ukraine to kill Russians is Russian propaganda?
jimmy, i am really concerned about the pentagon giving the go ahead for ukraine to send missiles inside russia. the provocation which started a week ago when pres Z shelled two nuclear bases inside russian territory sent shivers in my spine. this is technically a US first strike on russian soil. the press didnt say anything.
Jimmy looks handsome in his blue shirt 🥰. Even though he still hasn’t had Nick Bryant on his show! 🙁
C’mon Jimmy, both Donny and Adam Smith are war criminals. It’s not either-or, it’s both and more. You know this.
We should not be selling weapons to any country.
Joe Biden wants to cover his son's corruption in Ukraine and his potential involvement.
Spending can't be propaganda by definition just because spending is math .
