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
00:00:19.520
I think mostly it's going to be in Arizona, which is what I understand, which is a great
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.
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
00:01:14.280
I guess we're not going to have a show open, but that's okay.
00:01:22.880
You're the second hour, Monday, 3 March, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
00:01:29.360
Congressman, we had this massive announcement today from Taiwan Semiconductor, the leading
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.
00:01:57.840
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.
00:02:50.880
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
00:03:10.840
It's just going to be really something else to see.
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.
00:03:31.080
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.
00:03:40.780
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.
00:04:15.800
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
00:04:28.400
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
00:04:39.380
And what you saw in the last election cycle is that Arizona is turning red in a very big
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.
00:05:04.720
You're not seeing the kind of left-leaning industry that you see in Silicon Valley and
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.
00:05:21.540
And so you'll see folks coming in from Taiwan, which, by the way, should lead to a direct flight
00:05:31.040
I think it's going to be a much more centrist at worst and maybe even slightly right-leaning
00:05:41.360
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
00:05:51.840
So in the area where Taiwan Semiconductor is coming in, they're focusing on only multi-housing
00:06:02.640
You can't even build them in the city of Buckeye, which has enough land area to house two million
00:06:09.620
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
00:06:29.560
I was in Texas over the weekend, and Texas is projected by 2045 right now to actually surpass
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
00:06:51.160
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
00:07:05.660
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
00:07:38.120
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
00:07:49.980
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.
00:08:09.280
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.
00:08:24.300
You've got great education opportunities that are here.
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
00:08:43.040
And I remind them, this is why your company came here.
00:08:46.060
Your lifestyle is going to be better, more affordable.
00:08:54.020
It's shocking that they didn't put this in California.
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
00:09:11.520
And I think that's pretty stunning, pretty shocking.
00:09:17.580
Don't leave us now when we're just into the biggest fights in history on the deficit.
00:09:24.700
Why do you want to leave us holding the bag in the imperial capital to go be governor of
00:09:32.060
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
00:09:48.360
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.
00:10:32.640
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.
00:10:48.880
And we just need leadership in Arizona to get us ready for that and moving into the next
00:10:54.420
There will be some good, someone good and will, I hope, will come take my place.
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
00:11:20.880
On the 14th of March, the games have got to stop because somehow we've got to come up
00:11:29.680
Speaker Johnson was on the show at first because we said, hey, look, if you just do a CR,
00:11:35.120
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
00:11:47.060
Johnson says, no, we're not going to do that to Caitlin Collins.
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
00:12:06.160
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
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
00:12:48.180
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
00:13:00.520
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.
00:13:22.040
I said, you know, I've been saying this for every one of the 37 CRs that have passed in
00:13:30.460
I've said, why don't you use the, the appropriations bills you've already passed?
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
00:13:57.700
But the, the bottom line is Steve, look for quite frankly, a clean CR, uh, a little over
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.
00:14:29.220
Well, we're having, we're going to get into this after president Trump's, uh, speech tomorrow
00:14:34.600
Uh, congratulations to the great state of Arizona.
00:14:40.200
It's transformational, a state that's already trending towards becoming a, a tech center.
00:14:47.620
So, um, good luck and good luck in your run for governor, sir.
00:14:57.820
Um, so we got out of New York, uh, some activity just happened with the FBI.
00:15:05.900
I got Mike Davis, big, massive news on Tina Peters.
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.
00:15:34.420
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
00:15:49.080
I will never stop defending this joint full message.
00:15:53.600
I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did.
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.
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.
00:16:34.620
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
00:17:11.040
Top 10 things I'll miss about the FBI, the commute to work, not the investigation.
00:17:20.320
The intensity, you have to be in it to realize what I mean, but we all know how significant
00:17:26.940
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.
00:17:39.440
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.
00:18:17.420
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.
00:18:26.680
This is Kash Patel starting to clean house, sir.
00:18:31.660
These FBI agents are going to learn very quickly that they work for the FBI director, Kash Patel,
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
00:19:09.280
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.
00:19:37.480
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.
00:19:46.980
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
00:20:05.040
long statement that Nicole Wallace read, shows that he's unacceptable to be in that position.
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
00:20:26.800
Because I know cash, these guys are thinking about a restructuring and they're going to
00:20:31.900
But to come this quickly after the fiasco last week, do you believe this is directly
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
00:21:32.420
I want to go to something that on this Epstein situation I can't understand.
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.
00:21:54.320
Also, I think what Pam Bonney said is that the SDNY held back files to the prosecutors
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.
00:22:33.680
It's the Sovereign District of New York and their and their delusional minds.
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
00:23:04.400
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.
00:23:39.420
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
00:23:52.020
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
00:24:08.740
This is not the Trump 45 Justice Department where we have a bunch of Ivy League cucks.
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
00:25:03.060
Mike, real quickly, I want to hold you through the break because I want to get to this massive
00:25:14.080
Tina Peters, this has the deal with the U.S. attorney or the interim U.S. attorney in Colorado.
00:25:25.460
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.
00:25:37.220
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
00:26:08.280
And this judge was bad enough to come out and say that he imposed this severe sentence
00:26:15.740
And let me pull up the quote so I get it right.
00:26:19.340
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:26:28.420
The Viceroy Mike Davis is going to be on the side.

00:31:27.200
Okay, Mike Davis, the viceroy, the founder of Article 3, and has done so much on so many levels for President Trump and the Trump movement and MAGA, and we're sorting things out now.
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.
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.
00:32:26.920
I know President Trump and others at this highest level have been working on this, Mike, yourself included.
00:32:39.360
How can a federal government get involved at all, sir?
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.
00:32:57.480
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.
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.
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.
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.
00:35:09.500
These are thought crimes by this fat slob, Tina Peters, and this Colorado Democrat judge, Matthew Barrett.
00:35:28.080
No, she's – poor Tina is wasting away in prison.
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?
00:35:49.420
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.
00:36:08.060
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.
00:36:39.100
How important is this going to be, this at least opening salvo from the Trump administration's Justice Department, sir?
00:36:49.420
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.
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.
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?
00:38:03.540
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.
00:38:19.680
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.
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.
00:38:47.120
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.
00:39:13.180
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?
00:39:23.000
It ain't on an avocado, and it ain't on a tomato.
00:39:27.400
Todd Benzman, the geoeconomics of these tariffs with Mexico tonight, sir.
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.
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.
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.
00:40:33.100
Mexico just seems to, you know, need to comply more with what the president is asking.
00:40:43.060
But what he's asking is this is all about immigration, border, and the cartels.
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.
00:41:23.320
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.
00:41:48.860
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.
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.
00:42:27.420
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.
00:42:44.060
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.
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.
00:43:12.180
In Taiwan, I'm going to bring $100 billion here and their factories back here.
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.
00:43:37.720
So what do you think they have to do in shutting down fentanyl to please President Trump and say, okay, we've done it.
00:43:44.440
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.
00:44:15.900
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.
00:44:25.700
And I think they want to see lots of fentanyl precursor chemicals getting burned in big dumps.
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
00:45:00.500
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?
00:45:24.540
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.
00:45:44.440
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
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
00:46:34.140
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.
00:46:48.140
And they have 100 fentanyl labs down this place.
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.
00:47:18.580
What do you think our spy flights are doing right now?
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.
00:47:35.220
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.
00:47:52.640
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,
00:48:26.720
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.
00:48:59.120
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
00:49:28.560
But the Chinooks can pick those things up and carry them anywhere that they want on the border.
00:49:33.880
Those, those strikers, those eight wheels, the strikers, strikers.
00:49:40.740
This is what they would kill to have this in Ukraine.
00:49:43.040
This is when you up-arm her and let's roll, boys.
00:49:46.360
I'm telling you, they're putting, Pete Hegseth is telling President Trump he's putting the
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
00:50:13.220
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.
00:50:26.880
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.
00:50:51.440
I think that that is, if they're not there for that, for introducing illegal, you know,
00:51:07.460
You guys backed up Biden while the country was invaded.
00:51:13.060
Where do they go, Todd, to get all your writings?
