Now let us shine the lantern on the staggering new cost,
Where billions of taxpayer dimes are very sadly lost.
A trillion-and-a-half request to fund the armed defense,
Is built upon taxpayer funds at everyone's expense. 💸
The budgets for the DHS and ICE begin to swell,
Creating heavy presences where average people dwell.
Ten billion is the price for ICE to build their massive fleets,
To march in heavy uniforms upon the local streets. 🚔
The policies of tracking folks are things we all detest,
By building a surveillance state we never did request.
We citizens reject the plans that leaders want to buy,
We do not want our taxes spent to fund a watching eye. 👁️
The technology spreading is an artificial net,
The most invasive tracking that our country has seen yet.
The systems built by Palantir are running day and night,
To monitor our citizens, concealed from public sight. 📱
The mission creep is very real, it moves from border lines,
To searching local neighborhoods for arbitrary signs.
When federal policing grows without a firm constraint,
It makes our constitutional protections rather faint. 📜
The money flowing into jails controlled by private boards,
Is filling up the pockets of the wealthy overlords.
A government that profits off the locking up of folks,
Is breaking all the promises of which the founders spoke. 🏢
The midterm voting is our chance, the power is our vote,
To change the scary narrative the politicians wrote.
We have to research candidates to see just where they stand,
And shield our local neighborhoods across the quiet land. 🗳️
The Declaration's promises ensure that we are free,
For every single citizen from sea to shining sea.
These foundational principles must be our guiding light,
To keep our great democracy both functioning and bright. 🗽

Hmm… maybe Tapper’s working on the assumption that the Paramount/WBD deal will ultimately go through, and maybe he feels the need to prove to Bari Weiss what an obedient little lapdog he’ll be - and that he has no problem obeying in advance. What better way to do that than to start kissing Dump’s ass now on CNN’s air? I dunno.. just a thought.
Hi Jim and AG Bonta watching from Canada. That merger definitely must be stopped so good luck in your lawsuit. Of course Trump is pushing for this merger because he wants his sycophants to take over CNN.
Thank you Jim for having AG Bonta on your show. I thought it was a done deal and didn't know anyone was still fighting it. I am glad he and other AG's are advancing this case and hope it is successful!
35:35 Oh, they're going to air every stinking lie out of his anus mouth. The networks are all just as MAGAty as the head MAGAt. I'm so sick of this. He just wants more attention. He can NEVER just STFU and give us some f'n peace!
Hi Olivia and ICE has be stopped now. Unmask, wear body cameras and have them turned on. They also need real training and need to be vetted because right now they are just racist thugs. Stephen Miller is furious that ICE has been told to stop most car stops for now. I can't understand how people don't see the 2020 election claims are so ridiculous and nothing but lies. If the Democrats rigged the 2020 election why the hell wouldn't they rig the 2024 election to stop Trump again, it's insane.
This administration doesn’t want them properly trained. They want goons, and people who have so much hate, they just shoot people at will and beat them.
Stephen Miller and his wife (who has an even uglier heart than Stephen) should be put out on the streets to live amongst the homeless. It just breaks my heart to know their kids are having to grow up with these two nuts. 💔 I think their children should be taken and given a chance to grow up WITHOUT the teachings of their parents’ hatred of certain human beings.
Funny you should mention the lawsuit Fox lost to Dominion Voting System, Jim. I am still waiting for someone, ANYONE, in the independent ress to address the fact that Dominion was bought by Scott Leiendecker, a "former" republicon election official and given the name "Liberty Vote." This happened in October 2025.
Now we know that fascists always name their organizations the exact opposite of what they're planning to do.
So, how can we be sure the Dominion voting machines will function the way they should and not the way a fascists has re-programmed them?
Thank you, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, for "using the Law on Monopolies" to block Paramount's charge forward in conjunction with Trump-power, to overtake CNN and numerous other Media, and, therefore, kicking Journalists out who report truth!
Also, has everyone noticed how puppy-faced the Journalist acted in this interview with Trump on Sunday at CNN, telling Trump he's doing his best to follow Trump's wishes. He's not alone: already CNN is being careful already after Trump's wishes, making sure they follow Trump "demands" to follow his reporting suggestions.
I so hope Stephen Miller is brought in on charges, this is so gross!
Thank you Attorney General Bonta
Why is 47 calling in to Jake Tapper?!
Because Tapper lets him spout his crap.

And how convenient that Renee Good, and both men killed this week, attacked with their cars. Yeah right. Standard response from ICE. Disgusting.
Thank you for having AG Rob Bonta on. He’s always been a tough fighter and no doubt he’ll be successful.
Thanks Jim for another great show.
Jim, you're amazing. You tell it how it is, and you're funny and also serious, and its just solid, A+ reporting! love it, keep it up man!!

I have been saying from day 1 that they will kill us all one way or another.
