00:00:00.000 Today, Taiwan Semiconductor is announcing that they will be investing at least $100 billion
00:00:10.440 in new capital in the United States over the next short period of time to build state-of-the-art
00:00:17.160 semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
00:00:19.520 I think mostly it's going to be in Arizona, which is what I understand, which is a great
00:00:23.560 state.
00:00:25.540 I like it because I want it.
00:00:27.900 But I want most of them, actually.
00:00:30.000 But I did.
00:00:31.000 We want it.
00:00:32.000 And we want it big.
00:00:33.320 The most powerful AI chips in the world will be made right here in America, and it'll be
00:00:38.680 a big percentage of the chips made by his company.
00:00:41.440 But as you know, they're based mostly in Taiwan, and they're far and away the biggest. 0.77
00:00:47.880 There's nobody even close.
00:00:48.880 This $100 billion in new investment will go into building five cutting-edge fabrication
00:00:55.280 facilities in the great state that we just discussed, Arizona, and will create thousands
00:01:01.180 of jobs, many thousands of jobs, and high-paying jobs.
00:01:05.460 In total, today's announcement brings Taiwan Semiconductor Investments to about $165 billion
00:01:12.040 they've started already.
00:01:13.280 Welcome.
00:01:14.280 I guess we're not going to have a show open, but that's okay.
00:01:21.040 I'm always alert.
00:01:22.080 Thank you.
00:01:22.880 You're the second hour, Monday, 3 March, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
00:01:27.420 Congressman Andy Biggs joins us.
00:01:29.360 Congressman, we had this massive announcement today from Taiwan Semiconductor, the leading
00:01:35.160 advanced chip design company in the world.
00:01:37.740 $100 billion spent, I believe, over four years in the great state of Arizona, and I think
00:01:44.300 they've already committed $65 billion up to that.
00:01:46.940 Talk to me about how important this is for the state of Arizona, sir.
00:01:51.180 Well, it's a massive investment for the state of Arizona, and Steve, you're right.
00:01:55.600 They already have one of their fabs open.
00:01:57.840 They've got a second fab plant going up right now, and this is a commitment for those other
00:02:04.200 three fab plants, and that investment, think of it this way, just building there for the
00:02:11.880 next five to ten years is really massive for the construction industry.
00:02:17.040 It's also massive for the engineering industry as they bring those up to speed and up to scale.
00:02:23.480 And then the other thing about it, Steve, that most people don't realize is when Taiwan Semiconductor
00:02:30.940 builds those, they bring a bunch of what I would call secondary jobs over where they need
00:02:38.280 different parts, different machining done off-site.
00:02:43.320 Those would be additional businesses that surround them.
00:02:45.580 I've been to their facilities in Taiwan.
00:02:47.960 They surround those facilities in Taiwan.
00:02:49.940 This is going to be massive.
00:02:50.880 And we're going to need more engineers, more construction workers.
00:02:57.680 Then you move to the tertiary, and that's everything from restaurants.
00:03:01.340 I mean, it's going to be a massive scale-up in the northwest valley of the Valley of the
00:03:07.960 Sun-Phoenix area.
00:03:10.840 It's just going to be really something else to see.
00:03:15.380 This is going to be more important.
00:03:17.080 And when you finish these, because this is the leading company in the world, you're going
00:03:24.880 to actually have as much throw weight with advanced chip design as Silicon Valley.
00:03:30.280 You're right.
00:03:31.080 The ancillary businesses in tech and tech support, also all the services from the dry cleaners
00:03:36.760 to the coffee shops, the restaurants, all of it.
00:03:39.900 I mean, this is massive.
00:03:40.780 You're talking $100 billion investment in capital equipment in four years.
00:03:47.160 And when it gets in running, I mean, this is going to be the biggest demand.
00:03:50.340 Are you concerned, like it's happened in Texas a little bit around Austin, you know, when
00:03:56.080 the two of the most progressive places on earth are Route 128, the Silicon Valley around MIT
00:04:05.060 and Harvard, and around Boston, and also Silicon Valley near San Jose in California.
00:04:13.260 Are you concerned?
00:04:14.160 And they've had this problem down in Austin.
00:04:15.800 Are you concerned that this could lead to turning, with this great investment and all
00:04:20.340 this fantastic stuff, that this could lead to a real political change in the state of
00:04:26.500 Arizona, sir?
00:04:28.400 Well, I do think that that's a consideration that we need to be concerned about.
00:04:33.620 Well, look, we've been planning on, we've been thinking that California was going to turn
00:04:37.100 Arizona blue now for 30 years.
00:04:39.380 And what you saw in the last election cycle is that Arizona is turning red in a very big
00:04:44.720 way again.
00:04:45.220 The other thing that's very distinctive about the two Silicon Valleys and Silicon Corridor
00:04:50.560 of Boston area is that these folks that are coming in here are engineers that are going
00:04:57.500 to be working in a different kind of environment.
00:05:00.860 You're not seeing the startups.
00:05:03.080 You're not seeing the Googles.
00:05:04.720 You're not seeing the kind of left-leaning industry that you see in Silicon Valley and
00:05:10.020 Boston area.
00:05:10.700 What you're going to see is a well-established, actually quite conservative company, Taiwan
00:05:15.540 Semiconductor, that's been around for a long, long time.
00:05:18.900 And they bring their ethos with them.
00:05:21.540 And so you'll see folks coming in from Taiwan, which, by the way, should lead to a direct flight
00:05:26.720 from here, from Phoenix to Taipei as well.
00:05:29.540 So you're going to see that coming in.
00:05:31.040 I think it's going to be a much more centrist at worst and maybe even slightly right-leaning
00:05:39.040 workforce there.
00:05:41.360 But the other thing is, Steve, you need to understand, and most people don't understand
00:05:45.560 this, but under Katie Hobbs' administration, she's messed around with some of the water 1.00
00:05:50.760 laws.
00:05:51.840 So in the area where Taiwan Semiconductor is coming in, they're focusing on only multi-housing
00:06:00.780 as opposed to single-family dwelling.
00:06:02.640 You can't even build them in the city of Buckeye, which has enough land area to house two million
00:06:07.540 people in single-family homes.
00:06:09.620 Right now, you can't even build a single-family home under this current governor.
00:06:12.800 These things have to be changed because when you're working and you want the kind of folks
00:06:20.060 that you're going to see working at Taiwan Semiconductor, they're going to want single-family
00:06:24.860 housing.
00:06:27.600 You talked about transformational change.
00:06:29.560 I was in Texas over the weekend, and Texas is projected by 2045 right now to actually surpass
00:06:36.560 California as far as population.
00:06:38.120 Texas is already the seventh-largest economy in the world, the size of France, the economy.
00:06:44.200 This transformational change, because I cannot emphasize enough how massive this is for the
00:06:50.160 state of Arizona.
00:06:51.160 The state of Arizona, and one of the reasons it's, you know, it's along with Texas, is kind
00:06:55.160 of the railhead of the MAGA movement, and I say the hardest part, the hardest core of the
00:06:59.320 MAGA movement is the frontier spirit, the great open spaces of Arizona, both the deserts
00:07:04.760 all the way to the mountains.
00:07:05.660 Are you concerned, particularly you've thrown your hat in the ring to be governor, are you
00:07:10.120 concerned that, hey, all the stuff that makes Arizona great and makes Arizona so many people
00:07:14.220 moving there already, that now that you actually become as important on the global tech area
00:07:22.440 as Silicon Valley, particularly in advanced chip design, that that fundamental transformation
00:07:27.580 is also about population, that all of a sudden you have two, three, four, five million people
00:07:32.860 start coming to Arizona, sir?
00:07:35.660 Yeah, it will be transformational.
00:07:38.120 Everything, like you say, from infrastructure to how it impacts our private property ownership.
00:07:43.640 But most people need to realize this, Steve, only about 20% of all the land in the fifth
00:07:48.260 largest geographical state.
00:07:49.980 I mean, we're there and it's edgy, but we're a massive geographical state.
00:07:55.300 Only about a fifth of that land is privately owned.
00:07:58.600 And so you're still going to see wide open spaces.
00:08:02.240 But I still think we're in an independent, rugged state.
00:08:05.380 And it is exactly what you say.
00:08:06.740 That's the spirit of very Goldwater.
00:08:09.280 That's the spirit that made Arizona great and strong.
00:08:12.340 I think that you're going to see people come in and adapt to that a little bit.
00:08:17.180 I always tell people, I get asked to come speak to new businesses sometimes, Steve.
00:08:20.840 And I would say, you know, look at what you have here.
00:08:23.000 You have brand new infrastructure.
00:08:24.300 You've got great education opportunities that are here.
00:08:27.980 You've got educational choice.
00:08:29.480 You have lower taxes.
00:08:30.920 You have less regulation.
00:08:32.160 Please don't vote to turn us into California because you get so many folks from California.
00:08:37.800 You know, and they start, they laugh at first and then the light kind of goes on in their
00:08:42.740 head.
00:08:43.040 And I remind them, this is why your company came here.
00:08:46.060 Your lifestyle is going to be better, more affordable.
00:08:48.600 You're going to feel freer and happier.
00:08:50.420 Please don't make us California.
00:08:54.020 It's shocking that they didn't put this in California.
00:08:56.240 They put it in Arizona.
00:08:57.300 I mean, that's a wake up call.
00:08:58.380 You talk about everything that you and the folks in Arizona work for.
00:09:01.600 The payoff is that one of the most important companies in the world.
00:09:05.060 And I would actually argue in technology, maybe the most important company in the world
00:09:09.940 chose you guys.
00:09:11.520 And I think that's pretty stunning, pretty shocking.
00:09:14.140 You're running for governor.
00:09:17.580 Don't leave us now when we're just into the biggest fights in history on the deficit.
00:09:22.560 And you're one of the biggest hawks.
00:09:24.700 Why do you want to leave us holding the bag in the imperial capital to go be governor of
00:09:30.300 Arizona, sir?
00:09:32.060 Well, for one thing, we are in the biggest fight in Washington, D.C.
00:09:35.820 But I believe that if this is all going to turn around, it's going to be the states.
00:09:39.540 And you need leadership in the states to come out and say to Washington, D.C., you can't
00:09:44.360 continue going where you're on.
00:09:47.060 Because, I mean, let's just face it.
00:09:48.360 The projected national debt 10 years from now, which is even if you impose the cuts and everything
00:09:58.020 else that we're working on right now, you're still looking.
00:10:00.860 My projection is about $72 trillion in national debt in 10 years, Steve.
00:10:04.760 This means that the states have got to be strong, secure, have their economies going strong.
00:10:11.560 So when I hate to say it, but when that pressure comes in at the federal government where they
00:10:16.140 the federal government's not prepared to continue and the markets actually impose the draconian
00:10:21.420 measures which they ultimately will impose, you need a strong state to be in position.
00:10:26.220 And that's one of the reasons I'm going back, is I think we can prepare Arizona.
00:10:30.300 Arizona's a great state, as you know.
00:10:32.640 And this TSMC coming in and all of the ancillary businesses that are going to come in with it.
00:10:39.700 Arizona's going to be a dynamic economy, a world player.
00:10:44.100 TSMC's, they're working on AI.
00:10:46.700 They're going to be a leader in that field.
00:10:48.880 And we just need leadership in Arizona to get us ready for that and moving into the next
00:10:52.980 generation of this country.
00:10:54.420 There will be some good, someone good and will, I hope, will come take my place.
00:10:58.860 I believe someone will.
00:11:00.760 But we have to keep fighting it in the federal level.
00:11:02.860 But definitely, if this is going to be saved, if this country is going to be saved, Steve,
00:11:07.200 it's going to be because of the individuals who live in states and recognize that we have
00:11:12.660 to get back to a federalist system of government designed by our Constitution, not that nationalist
00:11:17.400 government that we have devolved into.
00:11:19.520 And that's where we are right now.
00:11:20.880 On the 14th of March, the games have got to stop because somehow we've got to come up
00:11:27.380 with a way to finance this government.
00:11:29.680 Speaker Johnson was on the show at first because we said, hey, look, if you just do a CR,
00:11:33.820 it's Biden's budget.
00:11:35.120 It's a $2 trillion deficit that everybody agrees is already baked in.
00:11:38.320 And worse, it's not just you don't get the Doge cuts, but you actually underwrite and pay
00:11:44.260 for what the Doge guys found.
00:11:47.060 Johnson says, no, we're not going to do that to Caitlin Collins.
00:11:49.960 We're actually going to have these anomalies.
00:11:51.080 We're going to put these Doge cuts in.
00:11:52.380 Now he's back with, oh, well, we're going to, you know, Doge, we just got to sign a clean
00:11:57.480 CR, we're going to get to, we're going to get to the Doge in 2026, exactly as I said
00:12:02.200 was going to happen back in December.
00:12:04.340 What are we going to do here?
00:12:06.160 With President Trump trying to fight on all fronts, Congressman, people look to you, you're
00:12:10.940 a straight shooter when it comes to the math and you tell the hard truths.
00:12:14.520 So tell me what's, what's the path through this so we don't shut down a government that's
00:12:19.740 actually run by President Donald J. Trump, sir.
00:12:22.520 Yeah, I mean, that's, the theory that they're giving the strategy is that we'll send a clean 0.99
00:12:30.000 CR over to the Senate.
00:12:32.340 Chuck Schumer will try to shut down the government over that.
00:12:38.500 And so if there is a shutdown, it'll be Schumer's shutdown.
00:12:42.520 That never really works because the narrative, the narrative builders don't, don't see it
00:12:47.680 that way.
00:12:48.180 I mean, the narrative builders will blame the Republicans no matter what.
00:12:50.840 But my, my strategy is, I mean, there's a couple of different strategies.
00:12:54.880 If you're going to do a CR, by golly, you better do your anomalies and take out what
00:12:59.540 Doge has found.
00:13:00.520 Maybe you also need to take out things like Planned Parenthood funding, right?
00:13:05.260 I mean, why aren't we, why are we leaving that in there?
00:13:08.120 So you would take out some of those things and maybe you say, well, we're going to, and
00:13:12.060 then we're going to freeze spending so it can't grow.
00:13:14.740 But, but that's betting on the come a little bit, Steve.
00:13:17.660 And that's always a problem.
00:13:20.340 I've, I've talked to the speaker.
00:13:22.040 I said, you know, I've been saying this for every one of the 37 CRs that have passed in
00:13:29.580 the last 10 years.
00:13:30.460 I've said, why don't you use the, the appropriations bills you've already passed?
00:13:35.520 In this case, we did seven.
00:13:37.820 Let's use those from last year.
00:13:39.220 Put them down again.
00:13:39.980 And you've got policy in there that works that goes after the Biden administration and
00:13:44.700 it reduces spending and it funds 75% of the government.
00:13:48.900 And then you can figure out what you're going to do with the other 25% in a, in a CR that
00:13:53.260 has some anomalies in it, uh, that, that makes sure that you're not funding Doge and other
00:13:57.340 crap.
00:13:57.700 But the, the bottom line is Steve, look for quite frankly, a clean CR, uh, a little over
00:14:04.480 a week from now.
00:14:05.140 That's my, that's my prediction.
00:14:07.560 And, uh, the theory will be, you know what they're going to say.
00:14:11.540 They're going to say, well, we're going to, we're going to deal with it, uh, in the burb,
00:14:15.800 which reconciliation bill, I, that that's not right because the reconciliation package is
00:14:21.560 something very completely different and you know it and I know it and they know it, but
00:14:25.520 they don't believe that the American people recognize that.
00:14:27.440 Totally different.
00:14:27.700 Yeah.
00:14:28.140 It's just a lie.
00:14:29.220 Well, we're having, we're going to get into this after president Trump's, uh, speech tomorrow
00:14:32.620 night and Congressman will have you back.
00:14:34.600 Uh, congratulations to the great state of Arizona.
00:14:37.880 Everybody worked on this.
00:14:39.040 It's absolutely massive.
00:14:40.200 It's transformational, a state that's already trending towards becoming a, a tech center.
00:14:46.040 This is transformational.
00:14:47.620 So, um, good luck and good luck in your run for governor, sir.
00:14:51.840 Thanks, Steve.
00:14:52.500 It's always good to be with you, my friend.
00:14:55.520 Congressman Andy Biggs, one of the best.
00:14:57.820 Um, so we got out of New York, uh, some activity just happened with the FBI.
00:15:04.760 I want to play that.
00:15:05.900 I got Mike Davis, big, massive news on Tina Peters.
00:15:08.800 We're going to get to all of this.
00:15:10.380 Let's go and play this clip and bring in the vice Roy, Mike Davis.
00:15:14.000 But he didn't, they're, they're printing, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:15:17.640 This is real news, real breaking news in the making.
00:15:19.940 Uh, when it makes me stammer, I can see the story coming out the printer.
00:15:23.180 Um, he's putting out publicly that he was forced out.
00:15:26.580 I want to read to you from his, um, resignation message.
00:15:30.420 Eddie, you have that?
00:15:31.520 Thank you.
00:15:32.020 This is how it happens.
00:15:33.040 Sorry.
00:15:33.360 Not so glamorous.
00:15:34.420 Um, uh, the retire in his retirement message to colleagues, um, former, former head of the
00:15:40.640 FBI New York field office says he was forced out quote.
00:15:43.580 I've been told many times in my life, when you find yourself in a hole, sometimes it's
00:15:47.200 best to quit digging.
00:15:48.260 Screw that.
00:15:49.080 I will never stop defending this joint full message.
00:15:52.240 All quote late Friday.
00:15:53.600 I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did.
00:15:57.740 I was not given a reason for this decision.
00:16:00.400 Regardless.
00:16:00.840 I apologize to all of you for not being able to fulfill my commitment to you to serve as
00:16:05.780 a DIC and Y what's that assistant director in charge. 0.97
00:16:09.620 Um, that is that the, that is they're one of three people, the largest field offices in
00:16:15.620 the country, New York, Washington, DC, and Los Angeles.
00:16:19.600 I can't stress enough how big and important a job is this, this, but for sort of the director
00:16:26.660 and the deputy director, I mean, this is the most important position in the department.
00:16:33.060 Let me read his message in full then.
00:16:34.620 Um, uh, as I leave today, I have an immense feeling of pride to have represented an office
00:16:41.500 of professionals who will always do the right thing for the right reasons, who will always
00:16:46.080 seek the truth while upholding the rule of law, who will always follow the facts, no
00:16:50.440 matter where they lead and be unapologetic about it, who will never bend, break, falter
00:16:55.440 or quit on your integrity, who will always handle cases and evidence with an overabundance
00:17:00.560 of caution and care for the innocent, the victims and the process first, and who will always
00:17:07.280 remain independent.
00:17:08.640 With that, here is my final top 10 list.
00:17:11.040 Top 10 things I'll miss about the FBI, the commute to work, not the investigation.
00:17:16.080 It doesn't matter what squad you are on.
00:17:18.240 The work is the best in the world.
00:17:20.320 The intensity, you have to be in it to realize what I mean, but we all know how significant
00:17:25.440 what we do is.
00:17:26.940 The FBI brand, do not fret, those three letters still mean something when there's only a select
00:17:33.300 group of folks in this world, past and present, who can say they're with the FBI.
00:17:38.440 Be proud of that.
00:17:39.440 The camaraderie within our own bureau family and with all law enforcement, local, state,
00:17:44.680 federal and international, there is no better fraternity in the world.
00:17:48.800 The opportunity to put on a suit and tie to conduct interviews in the morning, throw on
00:17:54.480 some street clothes to conduct surveillance in the afternoon, debrief a sensitive source
00:17:59.260 at a safe house overnight, and then get up early for a SWAT arrest the next morning, then
00:18:03.860 rinse and repeat the badge, what it took to earn it, and what it means to carry it.
00:18:09.800 Yeah, well, guys like this are what trash the FBI's reputation.
00:18:15.260 And Weissman right there, he's shaking.
00:18:17.420 This is probably the third most important job in the FBI.
00:18:21.140 The Viceroy, Mike Davis from Article 3, the founder of Article 3, joins us.
00:18:25.080 Mike, walk the audience through.
00:18:26.680 This is Kash Patel starting to clean house, sir.
00:18:30.100 Exactly.
00:18:31.660 These FBI agents are going to learn very quickly that they work for the FBI director, Kash Patel,
00:18:40.460 who was appointed by President Trump.
00:18:42.860 Kash Patel works for the deputy attorney general, who works for the attorney general, who works
00:18:47.540 for the president of the United States, who's elected by American voters.
00:18:51.980 And this assistant director of the FBI, who's in charge of the New York field office, just
00:18:58.740 proved with his political statement why he should have been canned for this job, because
00:19:05.020 he's showing the world that he's a politician.
00:19:09.280 He just got this job back in September of 2024.
00:19:13.320 Chris Wray appointed him, and it sounds like Kash Patel doesn't want him anymore.
00:19:18.420 And there's probably pretty good reason for that, because this is the same man in charge
00:19:23.520 of this FBI field office that didn't turn over the files, the Epstein files that the
00:19:31.460 attorney general of the United States demanded.
00:19:34.200 They turned over about 200 pages of files.
00:19:37.480 They told the attorney general this is all the files they have.
00:19:40.920 And then the attorney general found out later that they essentially lied.
00:19:45.140 They didn't turn over the records.
00:19:46.980 There were thousands of more pages that they sat on.
00:19:50.300 So maybe that's one reason that this assistant director of the FBI is now unemployed.
00:19:57.820 Well, I want to get to that, because clearly the bitchy comment he made at the end, that 0.97
00:20:05.040 long statement that Nicole Wallace read, shows that he's unacceptable to be in that position.
00:20:11.080 It's the number three.
00:20:11.940 It's like being head of SDNY in the Justice Department, right?
00:20:15.900 You got after you get through the top couple of guys that made justice, SDNY is kind of
00:20:20.920 the Battlestar Galactica, right?
00:20:23.380 Same with the FBI.
00:20:25.120 But is this fallout?
00:20:26.800 Because I know cash, these guys are thinking about a restructuring and they're going to
00:20:29.880 get their guys in.
00:20:30.700 They got to think about the process.
00:20:31.900 But to come this quickly after the fiasco last week, do you believe this is directly
00:20:37.220 tied to that fiasco about the Epstein files?
00:20:41.780 It could be, or it could be the fact that this guy who was fired was the chief of staff
00:20:48.380 in the national security branch of the FBI back in 2018 when the FBI was running crossfire
00:20:56.380 hurricane and Russian collusion nonsense against President Trump when they politicized and
00:21:03.280 weaponized the FBI and the broader Justice Department to go after President Trump.
00:21:08.680 And so I would say to this James Denny here, whatever the hell his name is, is that you
00:21:14.680 might want to just take your retirement and get the hell out of government because you could
00:21:21.580 be on the receiving end of subpoenas for crossfire hurricane if you don't go out quietly like
00:21:28.000 you should.
00:21:30.480 Oh, I hope he's going to get those anyway.
00:21:32.420 I want to go to something that on this Epstein situation I can't understand.
00:21:36.520 And maybe you can enlighten me.
00:21:37.700 You have the FBI and suppose that they have files and this guy was the head guy of the
00:21:42.540 New York branch of the FBI, which is the most important.
00:21:45.940 You got D.C. and L.A., but this has always been said to be the most important because of
00:21:49.620 all the world's capital markets and the spies and everything that goes on.
00:21:53.240 Right.
00:21:54.320 Also, I think what Pam Bonney said is that the SDNY held back files to the prosecutors
00:22:00.400 themselves.
00:22:01.840 One, would that make sense?
00:22:03.340 And two, correct me if I'm wrong, SDNY, and I realize we haven't gotten approved, Jay
00:22:09.640 Clayton from Sullivan and Cromwell, that's going to be the head of SDNY.
00:22:13.060 He hasn't I don't think he's been confirmed yet.
00:22:14.520 But can SDNY Southern District New York prosecutor hold back from the Attorney General of the
00:22:21.420 United States if she's requested all files for Epstein?
00:22:24.920 Is that even possible to hold it back or isn't that a crime?
00:22:28.840 Well, you know, actually, you haven't you haven't heard about this, Steve.
00:22:31.300 It's not the Southern District of New York.
00:22:33.680 It's the Sovereign District of New York and their and their delusional minds. 0.92
00:22:38.560 They don't think they report to anyone, neither the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern
00:22:44.160 District of New York nor the FBI New York field office.
00:22:48.720 They think that they are reporting to whatever their thoughts are that day.
00:22:53.540 They don't think that they report to the deputy attorney general who reports to the attorney
00:22:58.140 general who reports to the president of the United States who's elected and accountable
00:23:03.460 to all Americans.
00:23:04.400 And that's what makes these these prosecutors and these agents so dangerous because they
00:23:11.340 actually prove what they laugh and say is a conspiracy theory.
00:23:15.820 They prove that there actually is a deep state where this assistant director in charge of the
00:23:22.840 New York field office of whom no one's ever heard until he got canned thinks that he's not
00:23:29.380 accountable to the deputy attorney general, the attorney general or the president of the
00:23:34.380 United States, let alone Cash Patel, the FBI director.
00:23:37.460 This is dangerous.
00:23:39.420 This is for the people who pretend like they're saving democracy.
00:23:43.540 I don't think you can get less democratic than executive branch deep state officials who
00:23:49.760 don't think they're accountable to anyone.
00:23:52.020 And that is changing with the new sheriffs in town with with Pam Bondi as the attorney general,
00:23:58.380 with Todd Blanche as the incoming deputy attorney general, with Amal Bovee, his principal deputy
00:24:04.560 with Cash Patel.
00:24:06.420 There there are new sheriffs in town.
00:24:08.740 This is not the Trump 45 Justice Department where we have a bunch of Ivy League cucks. 1.00
00:24:14.580 These are savages and they're not going to put up with this nonsense anymore, particularly
00:24:19.360 in the Southern District of New York and the FBI's New York field office.
00:24:24.160 So you think this will expedite the Epstein files getting to Pam Bondi and then being released
00:24:31.480 to people to the degree, I guess, legally they can be released?
00:24:34.620 Yeah, I mean, what is this guy's excuse when the attorney general ordered him to turn over
00:24:40.560 Epstein files and this guy did not turn over Epstein files?
00:24:44.900 And then apparently that he even lied to the attorney general about what Epstein files even
00:24:50.360 exist and what was turned over and what was not.
00:24:53.100 It sounds to me like that's obstruction of justice, which is a crime under our United
00:24:59.040 States code.
00:25:03.060 Mike, real quickly, I want to hold you through the break because I want to get to this massive
00:25:07.280 event about Tina Peters.
00:25:11.860 Just quickly, and then I'll go to break.
00:25:14.080 Tina Peters, this has the deal with the U.S. attorney or the interim U.S. attorney in Colorado.
00:25:21.400 What happened today?
00:25:22.180 Because Tina Peters is held on state charges. 0.94
00:25:25.460 Right now, the U.S. attorney is going to get involved in this, sir?
00:25:29.220 Yeah, so Bishop Gruwell is the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Colorado.
00:25:34.720 He's a friend of mine.
00:25:35.860 He's a former colleague of mine.
00:25:37.220 And he just filed a statement of interest today in federal courts in Denver, saying essentially
00:25:46.560 that this 69-year-old woman is deteriorating badly in prison under these bogus charges where
00:25:57.220 these Democrat operatives in Colorado put this 69-year-old woman in prison for nine years 1.00
00:26:04.580 for merely challenging the election.
00:26:08.280 And this judge was bad enough to come out and say that he imposed this severe sentence
00:26:14.160 on Tina Peters.
00:26:15.740 And let me pull up the quote so I get it right.
00:26:17.700 It's so egregious.
00:26:19.340 Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:26:22.580 I'm going to hold that as a cliffhanger.
00:26:24.620 This thing is so outrageous.
00:26:27.360 We're going to take a break.
00:26:28.420 The Viceroy Mike Davis is going to be on the side.
00:26:30.500 Folks, you should know that President Donald John Trump is working very hard and very focused
00:26:37.200 on Tina Peters.

00:26:43.180 corpus and Tina Peters.
00:26:45.580 President Trump's Justice Department, his acting attorney, U.S. attorney in Colorado now engaged.

00:32:00.520 Tina Peters, it's a state charge.
00:32:02.860 It's absolutely outrageous.
00:32:04.140 She's a gold star mother. 0.59
00:32:05.720 This shows you how demonic and evil the left is.
00:32:09.880 Polis and these guys, and Polis, I've got news for you. 0.99
00:32:12.040 Bro, you think you're going to run for President of the United States?
00:32:14.780 You ain't getting anywhere, and it's because of Tina Peters. 1.00
00:32:17.240 Well, many things, right?
00:32:18.820 You're a phony centrist.
00:32:20.180 You're a left-wing progressive.
00:32:22.360 But what you did to Tina Peters is outrageous.
00:32:25.440 Now, tell me what's the importance.
00:32:26.920 I know President Trump and others at this highest level have been working on this, Mike, yourself included.
00:32:31.840 Why is this so important, what happened today?
00:32:33.900 And actually, what happened?
00:32:35.420 Because she's on state charges. 1.00
00:32:37.160 She's in a state prison, right?
00:32:39.360 How can a federal government get involved at all, sir?
00:32:42.860 Let's talk about this.
00:32:44.060 What has happened to Tina Peters in Colorado is outrageous.
00:32:49.420 It is a criminal violation of our civil rights laws.
00:32:53.180 And that's going to be the next thing I push for.
00:32:55.360 But let's talk about what happened here.
00:32:57.480 Tina Peters was the Mesa County clerk in Colorado, 69 years old.
00:33:04.100 She tried to look at election irregularities in Colorado, and that is her job under Colorado statute. 0.99
00:33:13.320 And she was able to access the tabulation codes in the voting machines, and she didn't jump through the right hoop when she did this, right?
00:33:25.100 And so instead of giving her a warning or a slap on the hand, which is what they should have done, this Jenna Griswold, who is this big, fat, slob Colorado Secretary of State, went to the Mesa County prosecutor, and this slob Colorado Secretary of State, who should be on a freaking diet, put Tina Peters in prison for nine years. 1.00
00:33:49.000 And they went to this judge, who is this partisan hack judge, and slob Jenna Griswold, and this Matthew Barrett, this little Democrat cut judge, put her in prison for nine years, and he was dumb enough to say this.
00:34:06.580 Quote, he had imposed the severe penalty because she had repeatedly advanced false claims about Mr. Trump's defeat, and in doing so become a celebrity among those who denied that he lost the race.
00:34:23.640 In other words, this judge with this fat, slob Colorado Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, punished her because of her First Amendment rights. 1.00
00:34:33.880 She dared to challenge the election.
00:34:36.360 She dared to think the election was stolen, so she got thrown in prison for nine years for this.
00:34:42.880 And so Bishop Griswold, who is the acting U.S. attorney in Colorado, he's my friend and former colleague, just filed a statement of interest today in Tina Peters' habeas petition pointing this out, that this is a 69-year-old woman.
00:35:00.260 Her health is failing in state prison, and she's being punished because of her protected First Amendment thoughts. 0.52
00:35:09.500 These are thought crimes by this fat slob, Tina Peters, and this Colorado Democrat judge, Matthew Barrett. 0.75
00:35:17.380 You mean Jenna Griswold?
00:35:21.520 Now that you've got personal.
00:35:22.500 Jenna Griswold.
00:35:23.960 Tina Peters is not a fat slob. 1.00
00:35:26.580 Jenna Griswold is a fat slob. 1.00
00:35:28.080 No, she's – poor Tina is wasting away in prison. 1.00
00:35:32.760 Let's go back to the judge.
00:35:34.120 Why would a judge understanding – you know, he's got to be smart enough.
00:35:37.560 Why would he ever say this when that goes to political dissent and proves the thing that we've been saying?
00:35:43.900 Tina Peters is a – he said it.
00:35:46.280 Tina Peters is a political prisoner.
00:35:48.240 Is she not, sir?
00:35:49.420 She absolutely is – look, I split my time between D.C. and Colorado, and I'll tell you, you know, when they're not smoking weed here on the slopes of Colorado, I assure you that the legal community is, you know, not writing for the Yale Law Review.
00:36:06.980 Let's just put it that way.
00:36:08.060 So we have this judge in Colorado, Matthew Barrett, who was dumb enough to state on the record that he was going to severely punish Tina Peters at fat slob Jenna Griswold's request because this Matthew Barrett and Jenna Griswold didn't like the fact that Tina Peters thought, knows, the election was stolen and actually said it publicly. 0.63
00:36:34.300 Yes.
00:36:37.040 Mike, how big is this?
00:36:39.100 How important is this going to be, this at least opening salvo from the Trump administration's Justice Department, sir?
00:36:45.740 Well, I would say this.
00:36:47.480 This is step one.
00:36:49.420 Step two is when Harmeet Dillon gets confirmed as the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division.
00:36:55.580 And I would say to this judge, Matthew Barrett, when you make statements like this, when you are very clearly punishing people for their protected political thoughts in their head and their speech, that's protected by the First Amendment.
00:37:10.320 When you're teaming up with fat slob Jenna Griswold to do this, these are state actors doing this, you are committing a very serious federal civil rights felony, 18 U.S.C. section 241 conspiracy. 0.69
00:37:26.280 We've talked about this a lot in this show, and I imagine that Harmeet Dillon's going to take a look at this because I'm going to be very loud and vocal about this.
00:37:35.620 And maybe this judge, Matthew Barrett, and fat slob Jenna Griswold can share a prison cell. 1.00
00:37:42.100 And I think this judge will learn very fast that there's limited food in the Colorado prisons when you're sharing a prison cell with Jenna Griswold.
00:37:52.680 Mike Davis, where do people get you on Article 3 now more than ever as you go through the second and third phase of the confirmation process?
00:38:01.140 You're needed more than ever, sir.
00:38:02.480 Where do they get you?
00:38:03.540 Where we stand out, where we're different, Steve, is when we get punched, we punch back three times as hard.
00:38:09.380 We're not the Ivy League lawyers of the Trump 45 era.
00:38:12.840 This is a different world.
00:38:15.060 Article3project.org.
00:38:17.420 Article3project.org.
00:38:18.420 You can donate there.
00:38:19.680 You can follow us on social media, and the most important thing you can do is take action.
00:38:25.220 That top right action button with Harmeet Dillon.
00:38:28.040 Let's get her confirmed, and let's get these civil rights investigations going ASAP. 1.00
00:38:35.540 Mike Davis, thank you.
00:38:36.780 Cash Patel, Mike Davis.
00:38:37.880 One thing I can tell you about these fellows having worked with them, having the pleasure of working with them the last couple of years, they are street fighters.
00:38:45.000 Mike Davis, thank you very much.
00:38:46.580 Appreciate you.
00:38:47.060 Thank you.
00:38:47.120 Tina Peters and the Tina Peters folks ought to know that this is something that President Trump is top of mind with him with everything else going on.
00:38:57.800 Todd Benson, I want to get you on tonight because at midnight, 25% tariffs come on Mexico.
00:39:05.180 And I got to ask you, President Trump went to his punch list, and he said not good enough.
00:39:10.200 They're rolling.
00:39:10.940 How big is this going to be?
00:39:13.180 You've been the number one guy for the last four years telling the American people about what's going on here.
00:39:19.260 This is pretty catastrophic to Mexico, is it not? 1.00
00:39:21.920 25% tariffs.
00:39:23.000 It ain't on an avocado, and it ain't on a tomato.
00:39:25.780 It's across the board.
00:39:27.400 Todd Benzman, the geoeconomics of these tariffs with Mexico tonight, sir.
00:39:32.100 Right.
00:39:34.320 The tariffs are across the board.
00:39:36.720 That means that, you know, think auto parts.
00:39:40.320 Think, you know, agricultural products.
00:39:43.820 Remember that Mexico, probably a majority of its international trade is with the United States, a very significant majority.
00:39:56.080 And so it's going to hurt the Mexicans far more than it's going to hurt the U.S. 0.62
00:40:02.540 But there will be some, if they do this, there will be, you will feel a pinch on this side of the border.
00:40:08.840 It's just that we can withstand it a lot longer than the Mexicans can. 1.00
00:40:13.820 So you'll hear a lot of squealing about, well, this is hurting American businesses and, you know, grocery stores and consumers at a time when we're trying to reduce inflation and prices at the grocery store.
00:40:29.720 But it shouldn't last very long.
00:40:33.100 Mexico just seems to, you know, need to comply more with what the president is asking.
00:40:39.820 I'm not sure exactly.
00:40:40.880 This is what he's, but hang on.
00:40:43.060 But what he's asking is this is all about immigration, border, and the cartels.
00:40:46.780 It's very blunt.
00:40:47.480 You talk about the company, the financial.
00:40:49.480 He's got Pete Hexeth down there with 12,000 troops and strikers.
00:40:53.800 He's got CIA guys going around doing targeting exercise.
00:40:57.700 The kinetic part's about to roll, but this is about your part about the company.
00:41:00.900 He's going after the finances of the political class in Mexico and the seven families that own and run the deal in Mexico.
00:41:09.020 And he's told them, hey, I either got to see real changes, and I mean real changes, or I'm going to break you economically.
00:41:17.240 This is economic warfare, is it not, sir?
00:41:19.220 Yes, that's, I mean, that's the leverage.
00:41:23.320 It worked in Trump 1.0, and it's worked so far.
00:41:28.900 Now, remember that Scheinbaum handed Trump 29 scalps, really good scalps, not that long ago.
00:41:37.600 Some of them, the founding fathers of Mexico's cartels right now, were running everything from luxury prisons.
00:41:47.000 Very powerful.
00:41:48.860 But the part that maybe they're looking for is turn over your government officials,
00:41:55.220 your senior ranking, high-level government officials that are running all of this,
00:42:00.440 and the lawyers that are running interference for the cartels that are inside the government. 0.72
00:42:09.080 Remember, we have seen often very high-ranking government officials in Mexico get indicted and busted in the United States,
00:42:20.160 sometimes in absentia, sometimes physically we lay hands on them.
00:42:25.000 And maybe that's what Trump is looking for.
00:42:27.420 But also, I'm thinking, you know, there's 12,000, 10,000 Mexican troops have been deployed.
00:42:34.800 And, you know, I think the government, I think the Trump administration is looking for some kinetic action down there on the fentanyl.
00:42:42.420 They want to see fentanyl.
00:42:44.060 Is fentanyl, by the way, he says he's doing this for fentanyl.
00:42:48.020 This is, because Mexico, more than Canada, Mexico, this will destroy Mexico's economy flat out. 0.96
00:42:55.640 He knows it.
00:42:56.400 But this is a blunt force instrument.
00:42:59.320 Is it because of fentanyl they just haven't taken action and it's still coming across?
00:43:02.860 Because Trump is telling the world, I don't give two Fs.
00:43:06.340 When I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it.
00:43:08.440 In Ukraine, I'm going to do it. 0.85
00:43:10.040 In the Middle East, I'm going to do it. 1.00
00:43:12.180 In Taiwan, I'm going to bring $100 billion here and their factories back here. 1.00
00:43:16.000 He's on a roll.
00:43:17.540 And people got to understand, they listen to the media, what they say about it, and they should listen to Trump.
00:43:21.580 Trump has said, you're going to stop killing our people with fentanyl or I'm going to stop it.
00:43:26.880 The Mexican government, the Mexican economy, the Mexican people cannot take 25% tariffs across the board.
00:43:34.420 It will break them.
00:43:35.960 Trump knows that and they know that.
00:43:37.720 So what do you think they have to do in shutting down fentanyl to please President Trump and say, okay, we've done it.
00:43:43.760 We've listened to you.
00:43:44.440 Because since for decades we asked for the COPPA regimes and they just blew us off.
00:43:49.440 And it took Trump, the threat of these tariffs, to turn over 29, as you told some of the founding fathers.
00:43:55.800 On the rest of the fentanyl, what do you see as the key things that have to be done, sir?
00:44:00.620 Well, for starters, there's a city called Culacon that is Sinaloa-controlled.
00:44:07.280 There are more than 100 fentanyl labs there.
00:44:10.840 Some of them are mobile.
00:44:12.080 They're moving around.
00:44:13.560 But some of them are stationary.
00:44:15.900 I think that they want to see kinetic action on those.
00:44:18.940 They want to see them blown up and destroyed and bullets flying.
00:44:22.100 They want to see bodies.
00:44:25.700 And I think they want to see lots of fentanyl precursor chemicals getting burned in big dumps.
00:44:33.000 That's the thing that they want.
00:44:35.560 So I'm going to guess maybe they'll get that pretty soon.
00:44:39.080 Otherwise, it's curtains for the Mexican economy.
00:44:42.880 I mean, estimates are that it would take maybe a month or two before the Mexican economy is thrust into deep
00:44:51.960 recession if these go through.
00:44:55.460 So we'll see what happens.
00:44:57.140 Definitely worth watching.
00:45:00.500 So with everything, President Trump militarily, intelligence, economics, diplomacy,
00:45:06.300 is there anything he's not doing to basically stop the invasion on our southern border by illegal aliens
00:45:13.440 and to stop the drug and human trafficking that's coming across?
00:45:17.060 Is there anything, any box you see he's not trying to check, Todd Bensman?
00:45:20.120 Well, like I said, it's early.
00:45:24.540 The border is, in my opinion, is close to operationally secure on the illegal immigration part
00:45:31.580 as we've seen it ever really in the history of since we've been keeping records.
00:45:37.480 8,300 apprehensions for the whole month of February.
00:45:42.440 It sounds like a lot, but that's like nothing.
00:45:44.440 That was like coffee, a coffee break during the Biden administration.
00:45:51.400 You know, 15 minutes, that's how many would come in.
00:45:54.160 But the Trump administration probably is still gearing up and setting the table for the Mexicans 1.00
00:46:04.640 to start doing more kinetically down there.
00:46:08.900 I haven't seen a whole lot of raids.
00:46:10.540 I'm not seeing interdiction on – I'm seeing the Mexican troops are checking cars and trucks a lot more
00:46:18.900 at all the big ports of entry, and that's good.
00:46:22.060 But I think they want to see some body bags down there filled by cartel guys
00:46:28.440 and some fentanyl labs going up.
00:46:31.720 Some fentanyl labs would be pretty nice.
00:46:34.140 Give me that city right now, town, because I want to get that in the people's minds
00:46:39.500 because, you know, you know this better than anybody,
00:46:43.000 and I think there will be some place that will come up on the news screen in the week or two.
00:46:47.580 What is it?
00:46:48.140 And they have 100 fentanyl labs down this place.
00:46:50.140 What's it called?
00:46:51.540 Hulicon.
00:46:52.740 It's Sinaloa territory down in Baja State.
00:46:55.660 That is the place where it's a very large center of fentanyl production.
00:47:04.000 The stuff comes in from the Pacific Ocean by ship and plane, the precursor chemicals,
00:47:10.020 and they put it all together, the pill factories, the labs.
00:47:13.820 Some of them are mobile.
00:47:15.400 Some of them are stationary.
00:47:17.220 We know where they are.
00:47:18.580 What do you think our spy flights are doing right now?
00:47:22.100 They're all over that area.
00:47:23.340 So that's just one area, but there are other locations,
00:47:29.040 and they're probably moving them around a lot right now too.
00:47:34.240 One last thing.
00:47:35.220 You believe, you believe, I know Oscar Blue Ramirez believes,
00:47:39.180 that the cartels are not going to go down without a fight,
00:47:41.640 and particularly they're going to strike back probably at civilians on both sides of the border.
00:47:44.980 It's going to be quite violent.
00:47:46.540 Do you believe this is upcoming cartel war?
00:47:48.840 Because Trump's, it's going to go kinetic.
00:47:51.600 It's going to go kinetic.
00:47:52.640 When he says, and you got Holman on TV saying he wants to total annihilation,
00:47:59.540 Trump, when he says total annihilation, he means total annihilation.
00:48:02.800 So what's your predictions on the violence here?
00:48:06.220 Yeah, I think the Trump administration, DOD, Northcom, Southcom,
00:48:12.160 all those intelligence groups are expecting cross-border attacks on our side by the cartels,
00:48:22.140 that the threat of that is elevated.
00:48:25.080 I'm not predicting it.
00:48:26.720 I'm just saying that I think that they think it's elevated.
00:48:29.580 Otherwise, why are you moving in, you know, striker combat brigades with 2,500 soldiers?
00:48:37.020 Those things are not there necessarily to stop illegal immigration.
00:48:41.300 Those are, you know, those are combat brigades.
00:48:45.500 And my feeling is that, yeah, my feeling is that what they're doing is they're trying to project
00:48:51.420 a retaliatory threat against that from happening.
00:48:56.000 You got the 10th Mountain Division.
00:48:59.120 They're not saying that, but they're also saying we're not bringing the striker brigade in
00:49:04.020 to do interdiction or detention for illegal immigrants.
00:49:09.440 They're saying flat out that's not what they're doing.
00:49:12.420 They're there to keep an eye on things, to monitor.
00:49:16.600 But I think that, and by the way, they brought in an air, a wing of air support with Chinooks
00:49:26.680 and Black Hawk helicopters.
00:49:28.560 But the Chinooks can pick those things up and carry them anywhere that they want on the border. 0.99
00:49:33.880 Those, those strikers, those eight wheels, the strikers, strikers.
00:49:37.420 Yeah.
00:49:37.660 No, this is where you go.
00:49:38.760 This is when you're going rolling to Baghdad.
00:49:40.740 This is what they would kill to have this in Ukraine. 0.93
00:49:43.040 This is when you up-arm her and let's roll, boys. 0.99
00:49:46.360 I'm telling you, they're putting, Pete Hegseth is telling President Trump he's putting the
00:49:52.940 stuff down there, President Trump.
00:49:54.140 This is ready to go on offense.
00:49:55.700 Where did they get this report today?
00:49:57.200 I want everybody to read your report you just came out with, sir.
00:50:00.820 Well, I just have a piece out today where I'm just saying, look, the illegal immigration
00:50:04.520 part is done.
00:50:08.120 Border crisis over, I'm declaring it.
00:50:11.000 The numbers are there.
00:50:12.060 The policies are there.
00:50:13.220 I don't think it's going to read, there's going to be a resurgence.
00:50:15.860 I allow for the possibility of a resurgence, but Trump has got to keep the gas on, no brakes.
00:50:22.500 Gas, no brakes.
00:50:24.240 And by the way, I want to say one other thing.
00:50:26.880 I'm starting to see in the Washington Post, the New York Times, and some of these other
00:50:31.440 people that are quote unquote analysts saying, what do we need 10,000 active duty combat troops
00:50:38.440 down there when there's nobody crossing, when the border is quiet?
00:50:42.740 And the answer to that is credible retaliatory deterrence.
00:50:49.880 That's what I think they're there for.
00:50:51.440 I think that that is, if they're not there for that, for introducing illegal, you know,
00:50:58.080 Hey, hey, hey, here's a better answer.
00:51:01.680 We want them there because we like them there.
00:51:04.000 How about that?
00:51:04.640 Suck on that, Washington Post.
00:51:06.060 Suck on that, New York Times.
00:51:07.460 You guys backed up Biden while the country was invaded.
00:51:10.260 Trump shut it down in one month.
00:51:11.620 We like them because we like them.
00:51:13.060 Where do they go, Todd, to get all your writings?
00:51:16.140 Yep.
