What's The Biggs Idea Podcast w/ Alex Epstein
Alex Epstein joined me this week on my What’s the Biggs Idea? podcast. Alex is an author, and commentator who advocates for the expansion of fossil fuels. He is the founder and president of the Center for Industrial Progress, a for-profit organization in San Diego, California. He is the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (2014), and Fossil Future (2022), in which he argues for the expanded use of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. We discussed these exact topics and debunked myths from climate alarmists. We’ll be posting more episodes soon. Check out our social media pages for updates.

Definition of the Week
In an unprecedented move this week, Fox News terminated its prime-time host Tucker Carlson. For years, Tucker Carlson dominated both Fox News and cable television news programming with impressive viewership and ratings.
- Tucker served as an important voice who revealed the truth amid a period where corporate media controls speech.
I stand by Tucker and his efforts to challenge the status quo and the DC Uniparty.
- We need more minds like that in Washington.
- He will continue to be influential wherever he heads next.
Inspired by Fox News’ termination, here is the definition of the week: Tucker Carlson: A trailblazer in modern American journalism.

Meeting with the Chandler and Mesa City Councils
I met with members of the Chandler and Mesa City Councils this week. The Chandler City Council and I discussed Arizona’s water supply, federal tax policies, and transportation issues affecting the region.
The Mesa City Council and I discussed Mesa Gateway Airport priorities and water issues affecting Arizonans.
I’m grateful for their expertise and commitment to improving our District. We’re working hard to improve the quality of life for Arizonans.
The Week in Review
Happy Friday!
I hope you had a wonderful week. I am grateful to serve you all in the 118th Congress. Read below to see what I’ve been working on this week.
Trump Indictment Confirms All American Institutions Have Been Weaponized Against Conservatives
Never in my life have I seen America’s institutions as weaponized against conservatives as they are today. A Leftist District Attorney funded and selected by George Soros has elevated a misdemeanor stemming from a minuscule accounting error into a felony due to his opposition to the former president’s politics.
Instead of focusing on the rampant crime in America’s largest city, this rogue District Attorney is abusing his power for political gain. He is further reinforcing that America maintains a two-tiered justice system towards conservatives.
Bragg committed prosecutorial misconduct by reportedly hiding hundreds of pages of exculpatory evidence from this grand jury. I will use every leverage I have to ensure that every single federal dollar is rescinded from this office and to restore impartiality in our courts.
George Soros and his hand-picked minion will long live in infamy for their corrupt bastardization of our justice system.
Introducing 500+ Spending Cut Bills to Save America $1 Trillion
This week, I filed over 500 spending cut bills that will save our nation roughly $100 billion immediately, $1 trillion over a decade, and hopefully guide us in a direction that won’t require raising the debt ceiling once again. My bills propose limiting nondefense discretionary funding to Fiscal Year 2019 appropriation levels.
I hosted a press conference highlighting these cuts and was joined by Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), and Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT).
Our nation remains more than $31 trillion in debt, and the Biden Administration wants to raise this debt to $50 trillion by 2033. That’s unacceptable and unsustainable. Cutting and reforming the programs found in my bills will leave Social Security and Medicare untouched despite what Biden yells to the media.
It’s long been time to shrink Washington and grow America.
It will take some time for congress.gov to populate all the bill text, but you can eventually read them here.
