We had a great conversation with Jim Acosta earlier during our live Meidas Meetup on Substack, and if you missed it, you’re going to want to catch the replay above.
Jim is gearing up for a live town hall in Washington, D.C. on June 2nd, featuring a powerhouse lineup including Rosie O’Donnell, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Officer Michael Fanone, and more. It’s shaping up to be a must-see event, so if you’re in the area, be sure to grab your tickets here.
As always, Jim didn’t hold back. From Elon Musk’s black eye to the Oval Office’s bizarre press circus, he laid out the internal chaos plaguing Trump's inner circle, and how the American people are paying the price. His words were sharp and clear: “This is what happens when you put two cockfighting chickens in the same potato sack.”
We talked about Trump’s “TACO” reputation—Trump Always Chickens Out—and how even Wall Street is now building investment strategies around Trump’s cowardice. Acosta recalled how Trump melts down when asked even basic questions, like the now-viral CNBC reporter did this week. As Jim said, “He puffs his chest out, and then he doesn’t back it up. That’s why nobody—Putin, Wall Street, our allies—trusts a word he says.”
Jim also reminded us why independent media matters. When we spoke about the corporate media world, like Paramount reportedly offering Trump $15 million to grovel, Acosta didn’t mince words. “Don’t you dare pay that money,” he said. “That’s a bribe. That’s teaching Trump he can rule the press with an iron fist—and a taco in the other hand.”
We dug into the frightening realities facing Americans right now: federal workers on food stamps after being gutted by Musk’s so-called “Doge” restructuring, ICE agents snatching U.S. citizens off the street, student loan borrowers getting crushed, FEMA hollowed out just as hurricane season begins. And Jim dropped a chilling reminder: he was on the plane with Trump when he left office the first time—and he’s not so sure he’ll willingly leave again.
At the end of the day, this conversation wasn’t just a recap of the madness—it was a rallying cry. Jim made it clear: we’re in a fight for truth, for press freedom, for democracy itself. And it’s independent media—us, you, this community—that’s leading the way.
If you haven’t already, subscribe to Jim Acosta’s Substack. And for those anywhere near D.C., go to thelincolndc.com and grab your tickets for June 2nd. Because the fight isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re not backing down.
Remember to join now as a paid subscriber if you haven’t yet to continue to support the growth of independent media—and help us meet our May goal before the month ends.
Ice shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks
I know a guy that supervises them, oh my dog he claims that they don't want "targeted" and "retaliated" against.
How does that guy live with himself? The behavior is so vile. Since I am 83 I am no longer working. Worked until I was 80 because I couldn't afford to retire. Every job that I have ever had, I took pride in. Did my best to do what was right for the person standing in front of me. I would look them in the eye, and always try to help them. I could never have behaved the way these ICE agents are behaving. I would have lived on the street before I would have ever taken a job like that. Not wanting to be targeted or retaliated against, wearing a mask, so they can't be identified should tell everyone something about them. I think they are corrupt people who get a thrill out of what they are doing. Big macho men who think wrong is right.
I agree Judy I’ m thinking there are a lot of pardoned J6 are running the show. Right after they got out of prison they were thugs for dump.
Yes they are no way real police. Trump needed people who have no conscience or apathy and who feel wronged like he does (of course that’s insane as they broke laws). I saw a video of them kidnapping a young woman while she screamed her kids were in school. She will likely never see them again. It was sickening. I couldn’t finish watching it. My heart was broken.
Then they should be refusing something so reprehensible
They wearing masks to hide behind them. Unless they're going into some germs walking around shady places.
They are hiding their faces so they can’t be seen by anyone else so they can treat these innocent people like a herd of cattle that you round up and cage.
They didn't on jan6 that's how they got caught. So they're wearing them now. They know what they're doing is illegal and don't want to be identified again.
To play Devil's Advocate, though, because there are so many folks everywhere being targeted these days (professional sports players, politicians, folks in entertainment etc) I could see ICE employees being targeted also. I might want to wear a mask also. Thoughts???
They are heavily armed and supposedly AGENTS of Immigration and Customs. The are supposed to have badges and identify themselves as officers of the law. The ONLY reason to wear masks to hide your identity is because YOU KNOW YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW. Legit ICE agents know they have the power of the government behind them and again, are ARMED. These are paid cosplay kidnappers pardoned from Jan 6, probably Proud Boys and Klan members who are chickenshit crybabies when confronted.
1000% excellent comment 👏👏👏
I hope this ICE Gestapo reads back through history to realise that
"I was just following orders."
Didn't work at Nuremberg and will NOT work for them today either.
Their illegal actions WILL be punished.
We will not forgive, we will not forget.
Taco HItler

Is it known for sure that Proud Boys and the Klan are being hired for these jobs??
Like they would release their hiring records when they won't even show their faces? Hah.
I'm just saying that trained ICE agents don't hide. Maybe NSI does since they're used to undercover drug busts, but not IDing themselves as officers with a warrant is bush league and smells to high heaven of mercenaries.
It's not fun being in a country unless you're white and still not normal. So everyone is a target now on both sides. Germany 1930's and 40's. Could only be one race.
This is scary I feel so bad for the people who were kidnapped and put somewhere strange. I can only pray for them to be rescued,and returned to their family. Dump should have many lawsuits against him.
I guess this could also apply to police officers. Are they not suppose to be viewed as law enforcement officers?
I have a huge crush on Jim Acosta. 😍
Honesty and integrity make a man very attractive. That's why Taco Don is so repulsive.
I’m also a sapiosexual, so his intelligence is very attractive in addition to the qualities you listed!
Yeah, that's why I also have a huge crush on George Conway!
We all do-he’s hot!
I’m glad I’m not alone. 🫶

TACO DANA
I'm so happy that Jim Acosta left the wannabe right-wing CNN media to pursue his independent journalism where he's free to speak the #truth.
Me too! I have no desire to watch CNN anymore!
Cancelled my cable years ago...........More time for MTN...IHIPNEWS....save$$$$$
Right Wing?? You mean Correct Wing??
No. He's fading into the background because he got what he wanted.
He spent 5 months deleting every investigation and lawsuit against his companies. Deleting any data he didn't like.
Then he installed backdoors and malware into government systems.
He isn't 'leaving'. He just finished.
The US fenderal gonvernment is permanently damaged and compromised thanks to republicans, Trump and Musk.
Correct! He isn’t leaving DOGE on their own, believe me. He will continue to oversee the nefarious things he wants them to do to drive the hate he has towards those of us who caused Tesla’s stock to go way down. He still has Space X, X, and some kind of a robocar he will introduce in ‘26. Let’s not forget that he has planted his systems throughout FAA which has caused umpteen problems!
Exactly he's the biggest parasite giving himself multi billion dollar govt contracts. Destroying all the agencies trying to expose his illegal and dangerous practices.
Musk calls the American people parasites!!
He's a billionaire parasite living off govt contracts and the American people. Stealing everything he can, from everyone he can. He's an evll thief.
Can't wait for the day karma comes for him.
Yep. Hope we are all alive to witness that karma.
Taco Musk Maga Scumbag........BIG tme drug addict......IHIPNEWS just did major report on all the drugs he has been taking during Trumpageddon part II.
I just saw an article that the city in Texas, that belongs to Musk, has told the people that they may no longer be able to use their land. I've been searching for more facts, but haven't been able to find any. (Don't know if the city actually belongs to Musk, but it is a new named city that has something to do with Musk.)
Oh good grief! I know he has a compound there in Texas where most of his 14 kids live. Not certain if the mothers are all there but he’s an absentee father, just like his was. He created a. City called Starbase in Cameron County, Tex. Funny thing is that his employees from Space X all live there and they have formed their own city council! So they have introduced a bill to close a local highway and limit its usage to Boca Chica Beach and State Park. Isn’t that kind of them? 🙄 I got this info off of BBC.com
Thanks for the update.
Exactly. Musk bought the presidency, he's not going anywhere.
He still runs the country in the shadows with his fellow ghouls thiel, yarvin, Vought, miller etc.

This is the altermate podcast. The Meidas Mighty and Jim Acosta. My heros
This - I watch both Ben and Jim every day. They are the best of places like Washington, NYC, or LA (I was in DC/NYC back in the 90s) and they remind me of attorneys/journalists who actually had some pride in their work and weren't total sellouts like the Trump administration.
Right?
This Regime needs to be prosecuted , jailed and gone. They are cruel. Racist, dangerous greedmonger.
Everyday TRAITOR, FELON trump and the CORRUPT MAGA Sick Clowns give true Democratic Americans more reasons to REMOVE THEM by Any Means Necessary, because our lives Depend on it!!
Anand Giridharadas cited a Boston University study that indicates 300,000 have died already as a direct result of the USAID dismantling. WTF?
Republicans don’t care. Independents might.
I think a lot of these dudes are from dumps proud boys and other J6 people!!!
I think the same thing proud boys and J/6 insurrectionist 😡
Absolutely. They dont want to be re arrested. It was probably a condition they agreed to to be released from prison. Now your a goon squad cop of The Taco regime
Independent media must grow & beat the shit out of what is corrupted traditional media. Canada is just saving the CBC! Poilievre would have destroyed it!
Nice to know the CBC will not be dismantled!
Trump North lost his seat. Activists were on the streets all through the election working 24/7 to defeat that Maga coackroach.
So good to see more and more anti-Taco protesters out there.....keep goining and make 5 million 35 million.
Hell don’t have to apologize about cursing! It’s healthy! Release of so much disbelief about today’s world! What has occurred in the last year could not have evolved from the scariest sci-fi moving! The only good thing about the Kennedy madness & vaccines is that 1 day these cooks will just die from their own stupidity!
Did you hear that Dr Phelgm say the 1913 flu was caused by vaccines. That weren't invented until the 1940s . We r so screwed..
Well said!!!
I heard about Musk’s black eye. Some are saying Stephen Miller gave it to him. 🤣😂😂🤣
He said it was his kid. Miller is about that size,so.
36% of the Voters did not vote. That how he got elected. We have to blame those that voted for him and those that did not vote at all. 🤬
And it was not a big win, or a landslide, and he has no damn mandate. They act like everybody in the effin country wants and loves this bs. Sick and untrue
Who’s going to fix the federal government jobs that need to come back and how??? Just how can he leave? This feels like another pump and dumps fake news reality tv show but so expensive and the crimes against humanity are not repairable. It has no tangible number to sue as a people. No judicial recourse?
Really important question!
I called Paramount Corporate after Jim Acosta's segment yesterday. A lifelong Star Trek fan, I reminded them in my voicemail that Gene Roddenberry is rolling in his grave! Star Trek is the antithesis of everything trump stands for and Paramount should remember that! Thanks for getting angry about this!!
Maybe they’re felons. Maybe they’re Proud Boys. Whatever they are, they’re not professional officials.
RFK Jr is literally decimating the health of Americans. This is extremely worrisome. I thought Senator Cassidy was supposed to be keeping Tabs on RFK Jr. Cassidy confirmed him with that stipulation..
All it would take is EVERYONE, including law firms, judiciary, law enforcement, universities, healthcare and science labs and citizens just tell trump to go fuck himself and demand the removal of this regime.
The bill the House passed is the MAGA Murder Budget
Elon has to be ecstatic. He dismantled every agency that was already investigating him.
Taco Musk is on a mushroom high........along with a medicine case full of eveyr drug out there......
Trump is on a tiny mushroom high
I canceled paramount bc they are not standing up to the Chicken a la King
Good on you - me too.
No more legacy media for me! I have not watched any national legacy news on tv for over a year now. So no more CNN or MSNBC because they do not know how to support true, honest news reporters who are dedicated to their profession.
Left cnn years ago but msnbc I still watch . My late night Lawrence O’Donnell and Stephanie Ruhle I like and Nicole at 4 and Velshi , he does the book bans…. And actually like all of them after 3pm… atleast They report … unlike my local news….
I do miss some of my go to's on MSNBC and I can catch them on YouTube. I just don't like the way the networks have decided to have the news reported especially with a lack of promoting Biden's many accomplishments. Seems like they only focused on felon47 and all his antics and court cases....all about the almighty dollar and ratings.
Yes I agree.. once in a while they stick up for Joe, we know what a great President he was and ALL the media ignored him for 4 years because you are right that they are all about money and are run by entertainment companies…
Substack has saved my sanity!
So glad to see Jim Acosta back in action and able to freely speak your mind.
What does Paramount offer to people?
Exactly! We OWN it all! They are nothing without our money. We have to cut them off
Agreed
If they cave, nothing
Im not sure if Paramount + is the same, but Stephen Colbert. Drew Carey, and Wayne Brady. All their shows. I love game shows. And comedy. It would be sad if they sell them out.
Wearing masks because you don't want to be identified for fear of retaliation? Does that mean police officers, sheriff's, security guards, private investigators, and anybody else who's employment involves upsetting people and making them mad should be masked and unidentified? What about judges? Are we ALL soon to be subject to masked unidentified men deciding our fate based on their whims hiding their identity and wearing masks? How barbaric is this?
I honestly believe they have hired uqualified, unvetted, criminals, thugs, and mercenaries loyal only to Trump or his thugs like Stephen Miller, and Tom Homan. Keeping them masked and unidentified is a vital part of their operation. Hell no, they don't want the American public or the rest of the world to know they have white supremacists, mercenaries and violent criminals working for them breaking multiple laws and thumbing their noses at The Constitution.
Seriously, think about it. You're late to work, you're speeding a bit, maybe 10 miles over the posted limit. An unmarked car throws a light on it's roof, pulls you over, a heavily armed masked man or two heavily armed masked men get out, tell you to step out of your car. They refuse to identify themselves. They refuse to tell you specifically what you did wrong, they refuse to say you were speeding. They just grab you and say you broke the law, you're coming with us. They take your phone, your wallet, your ID, and they throw you in the back of a caged car. They refuse to tell you where they're taking you, but you can clearly see it's not to the local police station or the local magistrates office. THAT is the America, Trump and ICE want us all living in.
They want us to accept and believe this is ok, normal and right because you shouldn't have broken the law by speeding, or not wearing your seat belt, or not using your turn signal to change lanes. What about all the laws they broke by the way they terrified you when they "arrested" you? Oh they say that doesn't matter, that's totally justified because YOU broke the law, therefore we're justified in any and all laws we broke. It's your fault. You should have used your turn signal. We wouldn't have taken you two states away to charge you if YOU hadn't committed that traffic infraction.
Exactly, this is not a safe practice for detaining anyone especially NOT women. Absolutely unacceptable and illegal.
God, you are so right! Yes, Biden is not the issue. I would rather have him any day than what is happening now.
It's great to see a Jim Acosta who's not beholden to his lords at CNN. He's relaxed and displaying a more accessible demeanor. I like it. I watched him for years. When he was sidelined, I stopped watching and wrote a complaint letter to the network.
Love Jim Acosta! Elon needs another black eye & I’d love to give it to him
The people who should be listening, aren't
It was a terrific suggestion from Acosta that Meidas Touch do more regional coverage.
Hoping we will also see more Meidas townhalls with governors.
Jim - you are 💯 correct re MAHA comments. They are endangering Americans and the whole world!
Guys we need this to be regular
Amen Jim. We the people ARE pissed at corporate media!
Jim is completely correct, we need to put things in perspective as to what we should be paying attention to.
We are on the verge of the possibility of a major epidemic with bird flu.
Stop it! I can’t afford that but please live or something!!
Hi, guys!!!💝
Hello!!! Nice to see you all!
Thinking about the $15 million offered by Paramount, it is clear that Trump is a scam artist
Absolutely, we must focus on the job in front of us. STOP the criminal in the Whitehouse NOW. Limit the damage as much As we can and get TACO impeached ASAP.
Paramount +...please stand strong.
Love independent news. Thank you
Thanks for doing this. Love you all. One comment- TACO isn’t accurate. Justin Wolfers explained the whole mess really well on Fast Politics- the Mad King has only backed off the most insane of the tariff insanity. There’s still a lot of insane tarriffs in place.
Ben, feel your pain brother as you push through the back stuff. No fun, but you gotta push through. Appreciate you and what you and the bros are doing. Amazing
And Trump almost died from Covid
Yeah, too damned bad about THAT outcome.
Almost. How sad.
Almost. How sad.
Yes! No one cares about Joe Biden at this point. Jake Tapper needs to read the room.
The worst thing is . Those Trump cult people are still supporting this ass.
The ass will crack. They all do. 😆 get it
Just like a class action, these Law firms need to join together and fight. Why are they so weak?
It amazes me how ICE is wearing masks now to keep them safe, when so many on the right fought wearing them to keep others from getting COVID.
Susie Wiles wanted Musk gone. I think Pete Kegstand will be next.
I'd wear a 'Ben was right about everything ' hoodie anywhere, just saying...
💙💙💙
I can't give any more subscriptions, but do love buying and showing your merchandise
Cancelled Paramount+. At least I’ll have my dignity.
Me too
GREAT WORK, GUYS! ... In other news, Republican Senator Joni Ernst spoke to constituents concerned about Trump cuts to Medicaid and SNAP— lifelines for millions. An audience member warned, "People will die." Ernst’s reply? “Well, we all are going to die.” _____ Of course she gets perks for life so no worries for her. Let's all pray she dies first.
Any normal person would have a heavy heart by what’s happening in the country but Trump is talking about his gold ceiling!
Yes, so strange Ben. I get so sad when I think about our country declining in so many ways. We were the global super power. Now what? Trump is just bringing us down around the world and domestically.
You Dudes just improved my day.
Wouldnt go to see Rosie O’Donnell for any reason.
Then don't. Geez
I loved the podcast Acosta did with Rosie. If you haven’t seen it, take a look.
Thanks
ARe you thinking Rosanne Barr? I know that is who's picture came to my mind when he said that>
Yikes! Yes! My apologies to Rosie! Thanks for clueing me in!
America should be absolutely ashamed of itself for voting a rapist, criminal, insurrectionist and traitor into office again. I am thankful that 🇨🇦, 🇦🇺 and 🇷🇴 learned so quickly what we might have become had we not voted for democracy. What is wrong with the USA?
Ben and Jim, maybe this is well known but I have not heard or read that anyone has connected the dots. Peter Thiel, Trump etc etc etc are in full takeover mode with Project 2025. You know Trump lied he didn’t know anything about it.
Peter Thiel is a major figure behind the scenes of Project 2025 and co-founder of Palantir Technologies. He’s Trump’s techno adviser (more like he gives Trump the next EO). He’s had military techno contracts for years with the U.S. (almost two decades) and Trump has awarded him more contracts all over the place like with Dept of Homeland Security etc. all while they work to destroy democracy and our freedoms. Ironic.
Palantir Technologies was co-founded by Peter Thiel, Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale, and Alex Karp. While Alex Karp is the current CEO and holds a significant stake in the company, Peter Thiel is considered the largest shareholder. Karp's ownership is approximately 5%, though his share is still worth over $1 billion, while Thiel owns nearly 10% of the company. The stock soared after Trump became president. Surprise surprise.
Trump just further expanded Palantir’s role to work with DOGE to compile our personal data that Musk and DOGE stole. Russ Vought, a major author of Project 2025, is now in charge of DOGE and he’s of course deeply involved with P2025. They will make a great pair.
So they’re all giving each other U.S. contracts and continue to manipulate our personal I formation. It’s criminal and is all being done in plain sight. Can’t anything be done about this thievery, evil and horrible illegal and unethical actions and abuse of power before it’s really too late?!
Will there be an online option to watch the DC town hall event? Would love to see it, but can’t make it in person.

Love Meidas and Jim, my only 2 paid subscriptions 🌺
I agree
Right
Yes
Mind what is urgent and important ‼️
Midterms? Really? At this rate there will be nothing to vote on
3 of my faves!
I never watched corporate news esp CNN. They all failed in TACO first term..
I read instead.
Loved this conversation! Mad respect for all of you! 🙌🏾💙
So true, we are pissed at the reporting out there on tv networks and FOX? Should be somehow shut down. I love Jim Acosta! Love you to Ben! MeidasLisa
Oh that phat phuck will leave the WH even if it's feet first
Re: bird flu finding a vaccine is almost the least of the problems. Changing farming practices have to alter!
I love you Jim! You are so hot!
Great show guys. Trump must be stopped one way or another. I am so sad our country is being run by a mad man. I still don’t understand why maga is so in tune with him. The pure hate alone is scary. Thank you for your insight.
They are creating all of these situations by cutting the funding and putting these depts. in chaos , in all 7 of the pillars of our democracy, so that we will be brought to our knees in a crisis, and will be at their mercy. THAT IS THEIR AGENDA. I also believe it didn't work the first time around with covid pandemic, because we had great health dept in place to save our butts! They want to destroy America. They are doing it by taking away our safety valves.
I agree Mr. Acosta! I completely stopped watching network news months ago. Pissed as hell about what has been happening to CNN and MSNBC for the past year, but even more so the past 3 months. I am all done, and I am so grateful to all of you for being on Substack!
Reading comments is important because your podcasts bring up questions that listeners need answers to. For example: I can’t find these answers-1. Does the BBBill really contain a clause that theSCOTUS cannot hold anyone in contempt for ignoring a court ruling? If so, this is major. 2. We have heard a lot about Kilmer Garcia, but what about the hair dresser & soccer player who were sent to Cecot? Where are they now? Please read comments & questions.
If the schools and the media and the lawyers would stick together , they would end his power over night!
Absolutely love you guys working and speaking together. So much intelligent information that our country needs. I tell as many like minded people as possible about substack. Sometimes finding them is not easy. I live in rural Upstate NY. Trying to get the word out and participate as much as possible. Thanks to you all. 🙏
One concern i have is will republicans actually vote for a democrat? Basically will Republicans always be republicans no natter how bad thing get in the U.S.? 🤔
I agree about the misdirected focus on Joe Biden. It is over and done. Move on because we have huge problems that need to be addressed.
Love Meidas & Jim Acosta💕
Independent media is great and will compete head to head vs RW media. BUT YOU NEED TO EVISCERATE R/W MEDIA. Defund it.
If you believe as we do that MAGA fails without FOX and that destroying honest media makes it even worse;
Eviscerate FOX. Deny them ad $ by denying the ad buying company CEO and execs bonuses. For example Home Depot. Boycott them for a full fiscal quarter. Get all on line influencers to post every day for the entire time. See how fast CEO’s stop buying ads - do only ONE brand - do it implacably for an entire quarter. See how quickly you become the new sheriff in town and how fast other CEO’s quit buying ads. See how fast FOX changes content. All they care about is $. Oh - and next generation FOX CEO will be a decent human being if you do this.
Details matter. Talk to me. See Target and Tesla for examples.
More big things with Jim! Thanks for what you all do!!
Love Jim Acosta for refusing to just go along with corporate news as it bends to Trump.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/30/supreme-court-trump-immigration-parole-00376419
Is there anything people like us can do to fight this and other shameful decisions?
I am Danish. I do not trust the media, but follow You guys. Listening to, what You say, because i know. that You are telling the truth.
You guys are all great! Thank you.
"For Pete's sake" and "frigging" - that not cursing so much is producing some gems.
Time to boycott paramount and CNN
When is everyone going to accept and believe the fact that trump regime STOLE the presidency?? Why is everyone ignoring this FACT??
Why are people still saying "the American people gave him a second chance??"
Why?? When there's absolute proof they rigged the election for trump to steal??
See Election Truth Alliance for mountains of evidence.
Watch Vigilantes Inc doco shows how over 4 million votes were lost due to suppression.
Musk rigged the voting machines.
An algorithm changed Kamala votes to trump votes - SO that 77M voters for trump is also a LIE and is also over inflated.
STOP saying Americans gave him a second chance bc they did NOT!!
Trump and musk are corrupt criminals of course they cheated from EVERY angle.
When do WE start investigating this??
To work to get them OUT of the WH.
This rogue regime is NOT meant to be in the WH in the first place!!
great interview!
👍
Independent journalism such as Meidas relies on legacy media to make its content. I prefer Meidas and all the substacks because of the viewpoint and commentary but it's not groundbreaking journalism.
I remain partial to the long, in-depth articles in The New Yorker. The Times is still publishing good opinion pieces, though they've gone real soft on Trump in their standard news.
ProPublica does very good investigative journalism and there are others doing good work.
I see Meidas and other, similar independent journalism as having a place among the others I mention. It should by no means be the only way we consume our news.
The tariffs are not just a philosophy, they are an opportunity for corruption and megalomaniacal power as companies and countries scramble for advantage!
I stopped watching mainstream media a loooong time ago🤣
ALOHA...
I think it's because they're going there that way they're always talking about that automatic pin I think you're going to try to resend some of his orders and use that as it is the excuse and then you know they're trying to take away the dementia Donny boys dimension
Great discussion! Thank you!
What a treat! Thank you Ben, Brett, and Jim!
ALOHA...
Someone on Tiktok ordered 2 Donald J Trump TACOs at Taco Bell, what is it you ask? 2 Nacho Cheese Dorito Loco Tacos with extra chicken 🤣
TACO Don is a Stupid, cowardly chicken. Tacos will never be the same the word will always be associated with tRump.

Jim!
Hey guys. Are you looking at ProJeCt EsThEr?
Hey guys, are you looking into Project Esther?
Hey guys, are you looking into Project Esther?
Hey guys, are you looking at Project Esther?
Hey guys, are you looking at Project Esther?
As always, good show! Thanks guys!!
Aaron Parnas!!?!?! I wanna go@
Hi Ben! Hi Brett hope all is well you are knocking it out of the park without me! Cool!
Ben, you really look like you’re in pain you should go get checked
Hello our brilliant MIGHTY Gentlemen!
Where are we as a country right now? I'd like to know also, Jim.
The Doge team is staying in place!
Great to see the best of the best all together.
Great that you are all together on this challenge that is in front of one and all. 👍
Because "WOMAN" and "NOT WHITE"............... He hates who they hate!
Keep up the good work and the collaborations.
I would have loved to see Jim Acosta !
Yes we need to address the here and now!!
Isn’t trump the CEO? He’s allowing it? Hmmmm.
All my favs in one place! 😍
Trump doesn’t give a damn about the majority of the American people!! Please every citizen who hears and sees what Trump has done and is still doing to our country call and write your legislators so we can reclaim our nation out of his poisonous grasp!!
Raise taxes on the rich to aid the people. Stand Up Shout Out for humanity
How about an advertisement that show republicans who are no longer voting for Trump, so I voted for him but now I am not and why??
Thank you all for your dedication in keeping Americans informed
