Summary

The Chinese have made it clear that if Taiwan were to declare its independence, they would go to war against Taiwan, even though they fully understand that that would have major negative economic consequences for Beijing. What is the United States to do?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Put Peter Navarro in leg irons for simply doing his constitutional duty.
00:00:04.460 Now they want to put Peter in prison for standing up for Donald Trump.
00:00:08.160 Please go to Amazon right now and order Taking Back Trump's America to help fund Peter's legal
00:00:13.660 defense. Taking Back Trump's America provides a critical MAGA blueprint to put Trump back in the
00:00:19.440 White House in 2024. Buy Taking Back Trump's America on Amazon today. If they can put Peter
00:00:25.780 Navarro in prison, they can come for all of us. The Chinese have made it clear that if Taiwan were
00:00:33.160 to declare its independence now, they would go to war against Taiwan, even though they fully understand
00:00:40.120 that that would have major negative economic consequences for Beijing. They understand that,
00:00:45.780 but they would go to war anyway. Here, Ashley Tellus clinically explains how any explicit Taiwan
00:00:52.420 move towards independence could inexorably draw China and the United States into direct conflict
00:00:59.460 and possibly all-out war. If China faces the prospect of a Taiwan that appears to be going
00:01:06.820 independent, China will do its best to suppress Taiwanese military capabilities in order to
00:01:13.100 prevent such an outcome from happening, while it simultaneously works to limit the United States
00:01:20.540 from being able to come to Taiwan's defense. And the Chinese tools that will be used in that
00:01:27.900 scenario will be everything from its land-based ballistic missiles targeting American carriers,
00:01:33.980 its land-based ballistic missiles targeting American forward bases, as well as all its conventional
00:01:39.420 military instruments to attack U.S. power projection forces that would be moving to Taiwan's aid. What is the
00:01:46.780 United States to do in such circumstances? It has one of three choices. One is it can decide that the
00:01:54.540 business of attempting to protect Taiwan has simply become too dangerous operationally, and so it changes
00:02:01.180 its political objectives. That is, it cedes Taiwan to China. The second thing it could do would be to
00:02:09.180 simply aim to defeat Chinese warfighting capabilities through local battles that do not attempt to reach
00:02:18.060 and touch the Chinese homeland. And the third thing it can do is to conclude that it will be impossible to
00:02:27.500 defend Taiwan purely through defensive actions alone, and therefore there has to be some measure of
00:02:36.060 offensive conventional operations that target the Chinese homeland. There is every likelihood that
00:02:44.060 the United States will not do the first. That is, it will not cede Taiwan to China for political reasons.
00:02:52.060 There is every likelihood that the United States will conclude that it cannot do the second. That is,
00:02:57.740 it cannot protect Taiwan adequately through purely defensive means, and therefore it is compelled to go to
00:03:06.140 option three, which is to protect Taiwan and all its other Asian allies by including in its strategic mix at
00:03:16.140 least some conventional attacks on the Chinese homeland.
00:03:19.740 Chilling. That's an excerpt from my documentary film Crouching Tiger, which I did in 2015. All 10 episodes
00:03:33.180 are up on YouTube. That's episode four, which talks about the possible inevitability of war
00:03:42.540 with China, communist China over Taiwan. And within that episode, I also talk about the strategic value
00:03:55.500 of Taiwan and why it's likely to be such a flashpoint between the US and China. Remember that was back
00:04:05.100 in 2015. And regrettably, I have this nasty habit of writing books and having my predictions come true.
00:04:17.580 Some years later, for example, in 2006, I predicted China would inflict the world with a pandemic that
00:04:24.380 would kill millions laughed at at the time. True today. What I'm going to do in this show today,
00:04:32.060 in the first part of the show, I'm going to go through this whole issue of Taiwan, Pelosi's trip and all
00:04:38.620 that and talk a little bit about what that means. And then this day being such an important day
00:04:47.900 with regard to election integrity with primaries, particularly in Arizona, Arizona and Arizona,
00:04:55.820 we're going to do the rest of the show talking about those races and how Arizona really is the railhead,
00:05:03.420 not just for the election integrity issue, but also interestingly enough, and this is the only place
00:05:11.100 I guess you're going to hear this. It was the November 3rd and the Arizona call
00:05:17.340 by Fox was the beginning of what has been a steady movement away from Trump and Trumpism by the Fox
00:05:25.980 News Corporation. I'm Peter Kay Navarro, honored as always to be in for Stephen Kay Bannon. Steve's war room
00:05:35.500 today is entering, I think, yet another exciting new phase of the war room. I'm here today because Steve's
00:05:45.420 on the road as we speak, getting ready to take this tremendous show on the road. Steve's going to be going
00:05:53.260 out to the battlegrounds in this election and he'll be reporting live and talking to people out there so you can
00:06:03.340 really look forward to that. Let me address now this whole issue of Taiwan. I have behind me
00:06:14.940 my good friend Vladimir and my other good friend Xi Jinping and really it was at a meeting like this
00:06:27.740 where these two ruthless authoritarian dictators made their devil's bargain essentially to support
00:06:39.420 their revanchist dreams, revanchism being a word that describes how old empires try to recapture their
00:06:48.060 glory by reclaiming territory that used to be part of their empire. And the deal that Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin made
00:07:01.180 was simply that if Vladimir wanted to attack Ukraine and try to grab some or all of that, Xi Jinping would
00:07:09.260 not condemn it and back back story would do everything he could to make sure Vladi got kind of what he wanted. And in exchange, Putin would be
00:07:22.140 there to have Xi Jinping's back when Xi Jinping made his move on the Ukraine of the South China Sea, which is Taiwan.
00:07:35.660 This Crouching Tiger documentary is really interesting. I had a great time doing it. When I do my documentary films, I learn a lot because what I did was I interviewed over 30 experts on China.
00:07:50.460 And you saw in that clip, Ashley Tellesu is like, I mean, the guy would have been in the Trump administration from the outset, except like far too many of the Washington establishment
00:08:03.980 government. Early on in the Republican primary, Telles made some intemperate remarks about Trump and disqualified himself. But I love that guy. He's really smart. And he went through the logic of why war may be inevitable with China over Taiwan.
00:08:22.940 The other guy that I think he was probably my favorite interviewing in that film was John Mearsheimer, who is one of the sharpest intellects on the planet. And he describes, again, the inevitability of war with communist China.
00:08:41.940 I mean, I hope that both of them are wrong. But the problem we have here is if you go back to World War II and you looked at the Japanese strategy basically to defeat the Americans, it was basically to project power out to these island chains where they could establish fortresses.
00:09:11.000 And Americans would have to fight their way to the Japanese homeland in order to conquer Japan. And if not for a failed Pearl Harbor strategy, which kind of where the fleet was out and they missed kind of their main targets, Japan might have actually succeeded in that.
00:09:34.440 What we have with China now is we have kind of a Japanese strategy in that we are able to contain China. They hate that word, but that's the reality.
00:09:48.000 We have a Japanese strategy by holding China in with what's called the first and second island chains.
00:09:53.680 The first island chain, the midpoint of that, if you look on a map, is Taiwan and it swings around to Japan one way and the Philippines on the other way.
00:10:04.740 And if you remember during World War II, they had bloody, bloody battles over the Philippines and to a lesser extent, Taiwan in terms of control.
00:10:15.740 So, what that clip from Crouching Tiger talks about, it's up on YouTube, by the way, all 10 episodes, it's free, never charge anything, no ads, nothing like that.
00:10:27.340 But what we learned from that documentary film is that if China were to grab Taiwan, it would basically break the first island chain.
00:10:42.460 What they would do would be to move the 100 miles across the Taiwan Strait to the island of Taiwan using their engineering.
00:10:53.620 They would turn that basically into an outward facing port, and from there, they would begin the process of being able to break through the second island chain, which includes things like Guam and project power all the way out to Hawaii.
00:11:13.800 And the U.S. military, the U.S. Navy is deathly afraid of that.
00:11:19.720 And the problem we have is we've got a really flawed strategy.
00:11:26.100 What China is doing is using what's called asymmetric warfare.
00:11:30.900 In other words, they can take a million-dollar missile and kill a billion-dollar U.S. aircraft carrier, right?
00:11:37.340 I mean, what the Chinese affectionately call American aircraft carriers in Chinese is targets.
00:11:45.340 And so the Pelosi trip is very ill-considered in this sense.
00:11:53.860 When I was in the White House with President Trump, he clearly understood the value of Taiwan as a strategic asset.
00:12:00.900 He clearly was committed to the defense of Taiwan, but he never poked the bear.
00:12:06.520 It's a subject that never or barely came up with Xi Jinping.
00:12:11.200 And if it did, Trump just moved on.
00:12:13.660 He kind of made it clear to Xi Jinping, it's like, just leave that alone.
00:12:17.920 And Xi Jinping did.
00:12:20.360 And so we had peace in Trump's time.
00:12:24.580 You know, the problem with Biden, of course, is that the weakness he's shown in Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world has opened up to Xi Jinping.
00:12:36.860 And Xi Jinping, an opportunity to basically go for Taiwan.
00:12:42.800 And the problem we have is now the China hawks in China, they have those two who want to take a hard line on Taiwan and just go over and grab it, have been emboldened by the whole situation.
00:12:55.060 So Pelosi comes up with this idea to go there.
00:12:58.920 She's poked the bear now.
00:13:01.280 Biden has to have her back.
00:13:03.540 Otherwise, he loses face.
00:13:05.800 And it's one of those things where this is how wars happen.
00:13:10.540 OK, they spiral out of control.
00:13:13.480 Now, the odds of the Chinese shooting down Pelosi's plane are not zero.
00:13:21.860 And therein lies the problem in the tail.
00:13:24.400 My own view is that it'll be a lot easier for Pelosi to get to the island than to get off the island.
00:13:32.040 And if a Chinese military escort shows up on her way out or even shoots down her plane, the odds are not zero.
00:13:44.200 OK, they may be small.
00:13:46.260 They may be minuscule, but they are not zero.
00:13:49.060 And as Steve Bannon always says, the Chinese are the most rational people in the world until they aren't.
00:13:56.580 And so we have a situation, again, of Biden's making this never would have happened in the Trump administration.
00:14:03.960 This is a very, very dangerous time.
00:14:07.140 The Taiwan, I love the Taiwanese people.
00:14:09.940 I love the democracy there.
00:14:11.900 This is something critical, both to the economy and the national security of the world.
00:14:17.540 But through the recklessness and fecklessness of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, we have now put that island in perhaps the greatest risk it's been in in a very long time.
00:14:32.260 I'm Peter Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon.
00:14:35.300 We'll be back.
00:14:37.240 And we're going to the railhead of Arizona when we get back.
00:14:41.980 You know what's never good?
00:15:01.460 When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:09.360 Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote, there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't at the time fully understand.
00:15:27.820 End quote.
00:15:28.680 You know who understands the real threat of inflation?

00:16:23.440 If they can put Peter Navarro in prison, they can come for all of us.
00:16:53.440 The Fox News decision desk is calling Arizona for Joe Biden.
00:16:58.740 That is a big get for the Biden campaign.
00:17:03.280 It also signals that it's a good night for Mark Kelly, the Democratic Senate candidate, against Martha McSally there.
00:17:10.700 But Biden picking up Arizona changes the math.
00:17:14.520 And it is the first of the night that goes into the column of somebody else's bucket that they thought last time was going to hold on to Arizona.
00:17:23.680 There was a lot of effort spent by the Trump campaign to get to Arizona, to play there, to have ads there.
00:17:31.860 And we are calling now the former vice president.
00:17:34.060 And if you look at the race to 270 electoral votes, Joe Biden is ticking closer at 218 to 148.
00:17:41.220 And it breaks apart that Sun Belt strategy.
00:17:43.960 If you've got Arizona going to Biden and Florida, at least, is the one that we know of so far in the rest of that Sun Belt area.
00:17:51.860 We also have called Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon.
00:17:58.520 Look, the Taking Back Trump's America book is important in the sense that it's not just about taking back the Trump White House in 2024.
00:18:11.080 It's a necessary, necessary first step to grab the House of Representatives from the clutches of Nancy Pelosi, who has weaponized the investigatory powers in an illegal manner of the House for really, in my judgment, the primary purpose of preventing Donald Trump from getting elected in 2024 for president.
00:18:37.920 And we saw one of the key stories in the Taking Back Trump's America book is about how, in 2018, a number of the dimwits, let's call them for what they were, in the White House who were guiding strategy, like the Kushner-Steppian team, for example,
00:19:00.920 made the strategic miscalculation at the prodding of Mitch McConnell to focus more on the Senate than the House races.
00:19:12.200 And it was a tragic, tragic decision because it led to the loss of the House of Representatives in 2018.
00:19:21.320 And that, in turn, allowed Pelosi, Schiff, Raskin, and those scoundrels to weaponize the investigatory powers of Congress.
00:19:32.220 Just so you know, War Room people, Congress has the power to investigate, but not for criminal purposes like they are doing now with Donald Trump, only to pursue a legislative function.
00:19:45.600 And what Pelosi and Raskin and Schiff did with their investigations, with their phony impeachments, was whittle away and chip away at the greatest president in modern history.
00:20:00.240 And it took its toll, the nicks and cuts of a blade.
00:20:03.920 And so we can't let that happen again.
00:20:06.600 And what I do in the Taking Back Trump's America book is lay out the mistake of the past and identify a way forward.
00:20:15.060 And what I'm going to do in this block, we call it the B block now, and then in the next block, the help of Ben Berquam,
00:20:21.980 I'm going to talk to you about why Arizona, which has its primary, as we speak, is the railhead, the railhead of this whole issue of election integrity.
00:20:38.340 And it's the railhead also, and you'll only hear this on the War Room, it's the railhead of the loss of the Fox News Corporation or the defection from the Trump camp over completely to the Rhino camp.
00:20:56.080 It's been a long, slow slide with Fox News Corporation.
00:21:00.140 But that slide began the moment Brett Baier prematurely and wrongly and inaccurately called Arizona for Joe Biden hours before the polls closed in Arizona.
00:21:18.280 Now, there's a lot of things wrong with what Brett Baier did.
00:21:22.520 And he was, I'm going to assume he was just a mouthpiece and parrot for something made at a decision desk somewhere up the chain.
00:21:32.060 And I don't know how far it went up into the executive suite.
00:21:35.520 But that decision that was called by Brett Baier suppressed the Trump vote.
00:21:42.440 This is a well-known problem.
00:21:43.960 If you call a race before the polls are closed, then people stay home.
00:21:49.540 What's the point of going?
00:21:50.620 Oh, my guy lost.
00:21:52.120 No reason to go.
00:21:54.900 What we know now beyond any reasonable doubt.
00:21:59.760 First of all, the election was decided only by 12,000 votes.
00:22:05.560 And that's too close to call.
00:22:09.640 You can't call that hours before and think that you did something smart and right.
00:22:15.260 No, no, no, no, no.
00:22:16.360 No, no, no, no, no, no, Brett.
00:22:18.200 No, no.
00:22:19.020 You can't do that, Fox.
00:22:20.620 But they did it.
00:22:22.220 So that was the beginning of, in November 3rd, of what was a quest in Arizona for the truth.
00:22:31.500 And it began, for me, in Thanksgiving of that year, where I went and did what was going to be a three-volume report.
00:22:43.920 I called it the Navarra Report.
00:22:45.320 I'm going to show you a couple of slides now.
00:22:48.480 For the podcast, I'll talk you through it.
00:22:50.580 But the original report was the Immaculate Deception.
00:22:54.840 You can download this for free at PeterNavarro.com.
00:22:59.400 PeterNavarro.com.
00:23:00.400 And what I found was it wasn't just fraud.
00:23:03.780 It was these other five dimensions of election irregularities that were involved.
00:23:08.940 And in the second volume of the report, called The Art of the Steel, I showed that the Democrat strategy was very, very simple.
00:23:18.020 It was, on the one hand, dramatically increase the amount of absentee ballots, which would facilitate the flow of illegal ballots into the count, at the same time that you decreased the scrutiny of the ballots.
00:23:33.900 In other words, there'd be more ballots coming in, and you'd look at less of them to check their signatures and other kinds of things.
00:23:41.560 So that was the second.
00:23:45.020 And then in the third volume of the report, I present kind of the receipts that Steve likes to call them, the numbers.
00:23:52.960 And this whole thing was based on court cases, affidavits and declarations, news stories, raw data, expert testimonies, and study.
00:24:03.340 And my friends, to date, the Navarro Report, as an historic document, really is the definitive work on a stolen election.
00:24:15.600 And what's interesting to me is that the mass media out there has tried not to mention it, and yet they never have successfully critiqued it.
00:24:27.080 And it's now a bookends with two movies.
00:24:30.260 One is Rigged, that Dave Bossie did, great movie, and then the other is 2,000 Mules.
00:24:37.260 What I proved as possible in the Navarro Report, those two movies demonstrate now as fact.
00:24:49.380 And if you go to the kinds of election irregularities that we saw in this fountainhead, the railhead of Arizona, it was, again, not just fraud.
00:25:00.780 It was ballot mishandling, what I called contestable process files, equal protection clause violations, and other things.
00:25:09.540 And the most important slide I'll show you is simply this.
00:25:14.980 And this was the same for all six battleground states.
00:25:18.360 It's basically, I uncovered around 250,000 possible illegal votes when the alleged Biden victory margin was only about 11,000 votes, which gives you a margin of error, greater margin of victory of 24 times.
00:25:39.760 There was just an ocean of possible illegal ballots there.
00:25:45.800 And the picture behind me here, this was where the Concord Bridge, as Steve likes to call it, in Arizona, where the state legislature made a run at doing a recount and a canvas.
00:26:00.820 That basically got destroyed by the interference and bullying and coercion of Merrick Garland, the Attorney General of the United States, who threatened anybody in the state of Arizona who dared contest the results with jail, essentially.
00:26:26.480 And, but out of that came proof, proof that Trump won the election.
00:26:35.220 Just in one finding alone, 50,000 ghost voters voting absentee.
00:26:42.580 And the ghost vote, the absentees went two-thirds to three-quarters for Biden.
00:26:48.800 And if you simply throw those ballots out, as you should, according to that analysis, that would be a vote swing in favor of Trump of about 30,000 votes, which would wipe out the alleged victory margin.
00:27:01.520 And that's just one small parameter.
00:27:04.020 But out of this, this whole effort, over time, there emerged heroes.
00:27:10.760 These were people who are now on the ballot today who we have to help get elected.
00:27:18.400 For me, the tip of the spear is Mark Fincham.
00:27:21.640 He's running for Secretary of State.
00:27:24.020 Mark has to win tonight.
00:27:26.740 He was one of the first to go after these issues.
00:27:30.100 If he's Secretary of State, we'll get to the bottom.
00:27:32.580 But there's others.
00:27:34.420 Carrie Lake and Blake Masters on the ballot.
00:27:37.400 Carrie for Governor, Blake for Senate.
00:27:39.780 We're going to talk about these races when we get back.
00:27:44.020 We're going to have Ben Berquam, one of the great reporters of this network, out in the field doing what he does best, giving us solid reporting from the field.
00:27:55.080 I'm Peter Navarro, in for Stephen K. Bannon.
00:27:57.820 We'll be right back with Ben Berquam and continue the story of Arizona, which is so critical as it goes to the polls today.
00:28:09.780 Because we're taking down the CCP.
00:28:13.840 Spread the word all through Hong Kong.
00:28:16.200 We will fight till they're all gone.
00:28:18.700 We rejoice when there's no more.
00:28:20.620 Let's take down the CCP.
00:28:22.480 Are you feeling frustrated and powerless in the face of sky-high inflation?
00:28:28.300 Well, here's what you can do about it.
00:28:30.340 Take a minute and go to my website, preparewithbannon.com.

00:29:38.740 They put Peter Navarro in leg irons for simply doing his constitutional duty.
00:29:43.420 Now they want to put Peter in prison for standing up for Donald Trump.
00:29:47.760 Please go to Amazon right now and order Taking Back Trump's America to help fund Peter's legal defense.

00:30:00.960 Buy Taking Back Trump's America on Amazon today.
00:30:04.400 If they can put Peter Navarro in prison, they can come for all of us.
00:30:08.280 Rather, Arizona, we'll have to wait and see.
00:30:11.640 At this point, the president is still trailing.
00:30:15.740 Fox News has already called Arizona.
00:30:17.840 That's caused a lot of heartburn in the Republican Party.
00:30:20.720 But I did check in with our decision desk earlier today, and they are not wavering.
00:30:25.880 They say that our call in Arizona is right, which puts them at 264.
00:30:30.420 And if Biden wins at this point with 264, any of the three states I've talked about, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, he goes over the top.
00:30:41.780 Chris Wallace.
00:30:44.860 Schadenfreude, boy, when he jumped to CNN, it was like everybody went about time.
00:30:52.020 What took you so long, Chris?
00:30:53.500 He goes over there to head the CNN Plus live streaming unit, like the CNN equivalent of Fox Nation, and he's there like a nanosecond, and they cancel the damn thing.
00:31:09.180 And so now he's without his little Fox megaphone.
00:31:11.500 I mean, that guy, taking back Trump's America, has a long set of chapters on the Fox culture and the mainstream media and how so much of it was anti-Trump.
00:31:27.060 But if there was anybody who did more damage than Chris Wallace at the Fox News Corporation to Donald Trump, I don't know who it was.
00:31:38.180 And that Arizona call, I mean, Wallace reiterates the fact that this was a call that was made before the polls were closed, and it wound up suppressing Trump voters.
00:31:49.960 And what a news organization is never supposed to do is influence the outcome of an election on Election Day.
00:31:58.320 And that's exactly what Fox did.
00:32:02.260 Arizona is the railhead of this election issue.
00:32:06.540 Today, it's Election Day in the state of Arizona, and we're going to go live right now to Ben Burquam, boots on the ground like the war room always does.
00:32:17.820 And Ben, give us kind of a chessboard look at what's going on and what you're up to today and tonight.
00:32:26.680 Hey, Peter.
00:32:27.500 Yeah, you know, it's interesting you bring up that clip from Chris Wallace.
00:32:30.960 I was here in 2020 for the election.
00:32:33.240 I was here election night covering the election, and I was asked that question when we were doing our special Real America's Voice News coverage when they said Fox has already called it, and I was dumbfounded.
00:32:43.100 I mean, I literally, they said, what do you make of that?
00:32:46.180 And I said, I can't explain it.
00:32:47.760 I've been on the ground.
00:32:49.140 The numbers were coming out.
00:32:51.000 We were doing polling as people were coming out, and it was three to one Trump.
00:32:56.860 And to call it based on the mail-in ballots just was shocking to me.
00:33:01.520 And I was here for nine days after that covering the investigation into that and the continuation of the counts.
00:33:08.840 And I had people that were working in the Maricopa election office, which is just a few miles away from me here in Scottsdale, that were coming out saying they're telling us to accept everything.
00:33:18.300 They're saying that the signatures don't match at all.
00:33:20.540 They'll have a signature and then just a line or an X on a piece of paper, and they were being told to count everything.
00:33:26.640 And that's one of the stories.
00:33:28.000 You know, we get off on the machines, which we obviously need to.
00:33:31.200 The machines can be hacked.
00:33:32.160 We know that now.
00:33:33.120 We talk about these pens.
00:33:34.580 I had somebody bring out another one of these felt pens.
00:33:37.400 If you guys remember Sharpie Gate from 2020, they said they're still using these Sharpies.
00:33:41.880 They tried to use it today, and it bled through.
00:33:44.500 So they ended up using their own ballpoint pen, and they wanted me to see the actual Sharpie they were given.
00:33:48.980 But all of this, if you take one thing out of the equation, and that's signature verification going from 3% to under 1% in Arizona, around 0.1%, that changed the outcome of the election.
00:34:01.820 There was so much fraud, so much evidence of fraud.
00:34:04.900 And even to this day, you still have the mainstream media ignoring it.
00:34:08.200 I was with Carrie Lake all morning.
00:34:09.880 We were down at the polling place where she actually went in and cast her vote this morning.
00:34:13.660 We're at the location where she'll be speaking tonight, and I believe Blake Masters will be joining us over here later tonight as well.
00:34:20.860 They're still lying about that.
00:34:23.820 The mainstream media, they're attacking Carrie Lake for even having to question the elections for 2022, when we still haven't gotten to the bottom of 2020.
00:34:32.400 And as you mentioned, it really goes back to propaganda media like Fox News suppressing voter turnout to push an agenda.
00:34:39.960 And even beyond that, not even if people didn't show up to the polls, once you make that call, once you say this person has it, it's very difficult to undo that.
00:34:48.280 And they know that.
00:34:49.020 And so this is one of those things why it's so critical that we get these things early on.
00:34:53.720 The dilemma right now for most voters in Arizona that I'm talking to is one of seeing how bad Joe Biden and the Democrats have destroyed this country from within.
00:35:02.900 That's a good thing to see that. It's terrible for our country, but at least people are waking up to it.
00:35:07.160 But there is still a lot of concern about the potentials for fraud in this election as well.
00:35:12.600 One thing that we do know, though, if we get Mark Fincham, we get Carrie Lake, we get Blake Masters and Abe Hamaday in there.
00:35:19.220 You're talking about a MAGA ticket. Folks that will actually go in there.
00:35:22.380 Mark Fincham will change it to where you don't get this massive vote by mail.
00:35:26.000 They're talking about one day of voting, vote in person, with ID, certain things that could change the outcome for 2024 critically.
00:35:33.860 So that's why today is so important. And that's that was Carrie Lake's message to me.
00:35:37.660 If you haven't voted yet and you're in Arizona, you must get out and vote.
00:35:41.840 If you're a MAGA supporter, you must get out and vote. Take a friend, take a family member, make it that important.
00:35:47.540 This is make it or break it for the country. As Arizona goes, so goes the rest of the nation.
00:35:52.380 Yeah, this is game day. And I think one of the reasons why Fox has been so adamant about suppressing any discussion of the election results is they really don't want to be caught with that Arizona call.
00:36:10.420 And I was talking about it earlier. It's not clear how it happened.
00:36:14.800 Brett Baer was effectively the mouthpiece originally for the call, but he was relying on the election desk somewhere in the bowels of the organization.
00:36:26.360 We don't know whether it went up to the executive suites.
00:36:30.000 But but but for me, that was clearly the beginning of the end of the Roger Ailes Fox, the beginning of the end of the Fox News Corporation that supported Trumpism, MAGA and true Trump Republicanism.
00:36:46.460 And it's it's it's a situation now where, as you said, everything they're doing is to deny a fair count.
00:36:57.880 And Fincham is in the crosshairs of the liberal media as well as Fox.
00:37:02.300 Now they're trying to make him look like an extremist, which he is not.
00:37:06.040 And Carrie Lake, they slash and burn her any time they can.
00:37:11.480 Blake's been able to kind of be a little bit under the radar because that's a crowded field.
00:37:17.640 But what what have you been visiting polling places?
00:37:21.800 Where where are you physically? Are you in Phoenix today?
00:37:25.900 Where have you been and what can you tell us more about boots on the ground?
00:37:30.200 Yeah. Yeah. So one of the things you'll notice in primaries is the turnout tends to be lower.
00:37:35.460 Obviously, the but what we've seen all across the country is Republican turnout is is is significantly higher than Democrats.
00:37:42.380 What will be interesting about this this election in particular today is the Roe versus Wade impact.
00:37:48.240 If you get Democrats showing up, that's you know, they had nothing to talk about before.
00:37:51.800 That really was they were the happiest people in Roe versus Wade got overturned because they actually had something to campaign on.
00:37:57.020 We'll see that the numbers were still pretty small.
00:37:59.580 I was in Paradise Valley earlier today.
00:38:01.440 Now I'm back in Scottsdale down in Phoenix a little bit earlier as well.
00:38:04.880 And and most of the people that are coming in are bringing in vote by mail ballots that they're just dropping off.
00:38:10.940 You're not seeing the big lines that you see during a general election going out the doors.
00:38:14.420 But we are seeing where the energy is is for the MAGA candidates.
00:38:18.520 And this is really the battle.
00:38:19.620 And I actually want to point out a couple of things, too, about you.
00:38:22.540 You know, January 6th was all about that as well.
00:38:25.240 It was about covering up the election fraud.
00:38:27.720 They wanted that to happen.
00:38:29.480 And Nancy Pelosi, the real question that needs to be asked is what did Nancy Pelosi know?
00:38:32.920 When did she know it? And instead of doing that, instead of uncovering the fraud, they're going after people like you and Steve Bannon and the patriots of this nation and allowing this country to be destroyed from within.
00:38:43.260 The battle, though, here today is between MAGA and the establishment.
00:38:47.700 And you see, you know, you've got folks coming out that are voting for the establishment.
00:38:53.580 These these last minute endorsements coming out.
00:38:56.080 And I've been talking to people on the ground at the polling locations.
00:38:58.860 And the answer I keep getting over and over is, if anything, that just makes me want to vote for Carrie Lake more or Blake Masters more or Mark Fincham more.
00:39:07.660 They say we don't trust the Rhino Republicans, the establishment Republicans.
00:39:10.920 And we're seeing that all across the city. Everywhere I go, I'm hearing the same narrative.
00:39:15.080 They're done with the establishment GOP.
00:39:17.580 They want the MAGA GOP.
00:39:19.040 President Trump, the reason they people love President Trump was because he wasn't a politician.
00:39:22.940 He's just a dang good representative who put the American people first.
00:39:27.640 And that's what they want.
00:39:28.880 That's what they see in Carrie Lake.
00:39:30.160 That's what they see in Mark Fincham.
00:39:31.420 That's what they see in Blake Masters, Abe Hamaday.
00:39:33.260 And along the line, that's what they want.
00:39:35.220 The Republican, conservative Republicans, that's what they want.
00:39:38.040 And as long as the establishment Republicans keep pushing down this road, they're going to continue to lose voters.
00:39:43.820 It'll be interesting to see, though, that that's the vote today.
00:39:47.020 Establishment versus MAGA.
00:39:48.320 That's what's at stake in Arizona.
00:39:50.560 Well, Ben, what's interesting to me is whether Arizona is going to look like the Arizona, I think it's going to look like.
00:40:00.840 It's a red state, a MAGA state, a pure Trump state, a state where Trump actually won that election by a significant margin, or whether it's going to look like the Georgia that we saw just a few weeks ago in their primary, where the rhino Republicans basically won the day, unfortunately, there.
00:40:26.660 The problem, you know, for our audience, Ben, what we have in Arizona is a strongly entrenched McCain Republicanism.
00:40:38.040 And when McCain was still alive and I was in the White House, I'd have to fight him all the time on both issues of fair trade as well as, surprise to me, buy American, hire American.
00:40:50.200 He was always trying to kill aspects of the Trump agenda, which basically support black, brown and blue collar Americans, secure borders and things like that.
00:41:01.840 And that McCain Republicanism in bed with the Democrats in Arizona were the ones who didn't not only pave the way to steal that election, but then suppress the results thereafter.
00:41:17.620 So I'll give you the last word on this.
00:41:21.340 We got about a minute and a half left, Ben.
00:41:25.840 Tell us how you predict what's going to happen tonight and what the rest of your night is going to look like.
00:41:32.920 Well, you're right.
00:41:34.180 Cindy McCain is still behind a lot of this.
00:41:36.140 We're being told by the surrogates, the folks that are coming out on the establishment side, that is still where the money is coming from.
00:41:43.440 A lot of that is that establishment, rhino Republicanism.
00:41:45.620 The big difference between here and Georgia is the border.
00:41:49.220 The folks that live in Arizona know the disaster that the southern border is to their community and to the state in general.
00:41:56.220 The Republicans that like do it, do see pretending to care about the border, but doing virtually nothing to stop it.
00:42:03.500 They're sick and tired of that.
00:42:04.780 That's it. It's going to be a referendum tonight.
00:42:06.340 My view is it's going to be a referendum on rhino Republicanism, on do-nothing Republicanism, as Carrie Lake calls them, do-nothing do-see.
00:42:15.060 And it's going to be a MAGA sweep.
00:42:17.540 That's what I believe we'll see outside of some election shenanigans.
00:42:20.980 That's what I believe we'll see.
00:42:21.980 And I think this is the second.
00:42:25.740 We'll be covering it wall-to-wall.
00:42:27.820 So just stay tuned.
00:42:28.980 This will be the second.
00:42:30.060 Again, I'll be with Carrie Lake a little bit later.
00:42:32.360 Yeah, this will be the second most important one, because after we get that sweep, then we really have to roll up our sleeves for the general election, because that's going to be a battle royale.
00:42:44.940 Ben Burquam, you delivered once again.
00:42:48.580 Keep doing what you're doing.
00:42:50.060 I'm sure Steve will have you on tomorrow morning to report results.
00:42:55.300 But in the meantime, stay safe out there and keep doing what you're doing.
00:43:00.560 I'm Peter K. Navarro, in for Stephen K. Bannon.
00:43:03.800 Stephen K. Bannon is out, heading out on a road trip for the ages, and he'll be with you tomorrow.
00:43:12.340 And I'll be right back with the D-Block, and we're going to finish this Arizona Fox railhead issue.
00:43:34.380 With the recent rulings from the Supreme Court,
00:43:40.920 it's worth mentioning that these wins didn't happen on their own.
00:43:44.800 It took the support of companies like Patriot Mobile, who have passionately fought on behalf of the unborn and your constitutional rights.
00:43:52.400 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian, conservative mobile phone provider.
00:43:57.680 They have been on the front lines fighting for your values.
00:44:00.960 This is why Patriot Mobile is different from every other provider out there.
00:44:05.000 Inflation has made it really hard on many Americans.
00:44:07.940 Thankfully, Patriot Mobile has plans for almost any budget,
00:44:11.380 and they offer the same nationwide coverage as all the major carriers.

00:45:13.840 Peter Navarro and Leg Irons for simply doing his constitutional duty.
00:45:18.100 Now they want to put Peter in prison for standing up for Donald Trump.
00:45:21.240 Please go to Amazon right now and order Taking Back Trump's America to help fund Peter's legal
00:45:27.460 defense.
00:45:28.600 Taking Back Trump's America provides a critical MAGA blueprint to put Trump back in the White
00:45:33.400 House in 2024.
00:45:35.220 Buy Taking Back Trump's America on Amazon today.
00:45:38.620 If they can put Peter Navarro in prison, they can come for all of us.
00:45:42.880 It's a big development.
00:45:43.960 The Fox News decision desk is calling Arizona for Joe Biden.
00:45:47.540 That is a big get for the Biden campaign.
00:45:52.760 It's also signals that it's a good night for Mark Kelly, the Democratic Senate candidate against
00:45:58.320 Martha McSally there.
00:45:59.960 But Biden picking up Arizona changes the math.
00:46:04.180 And it is the first of the night that goes into the column of somebody else's bucket that
00:46:09.520 they thought last time was going to hold on to Arizona.
00:46:13.020 There was a lot of effort spent by the Trump campaign to get to Arizona, to play there,
00:46:19.680 to have ads there.
00:46:21.360 And we are calling now the former vice president.
00:46:23.660 If you look at the race to 270 electoral votes, Joe Biden is ticking closer at 218 to 148.
00:46:30.720 And it breaks apart that Sun Belt strategy.
00:46:32.880 If you've got Arizona going to Biden and Florida, at least, is the one that we know of so far
00:46:39.180 in the rest of that Sun Belt area.
00:46:41.880 We also have called.
00:46:46.240 Arizona, the railhead of the stolen election.
00:46:51.580 There's no question, knowing what we know now, that the alleged 11,000 vote victory margin
00:47:01.520 of Joe Biden in the Arizona race is a shimmer.
00:47:06.340 The odds of Joe Biden having won that race with legal ballots is slim to none and slim just
00:47:15.380 left town.
00:47:15.980 And this is the essence of the study I did early on in the Navarra report.
00:47:24.060 You can read it at PeterNavarra.com for free.
00:47:27.740 This is the essence of the rigged movie by Dave Bossie and 2000 Mules.
00:47:34.080 And the problem we face is that the corporate media is funded by the very same people historically
00:47:47.820 opposed to Donald Trump.
00:47:49.720 If you think about it, the corporate media is funded by the multinational corporations
00:47:55.240 that love to offshore our jobs and have an open border.
00:48:01.580 Why?
00:48:01.900 Because the most important thing that the big multinational corporations crave is cheap
00:48:11.640 labor, whether it's cheap labor in the sweatshops of communist China or whether it's cheap labor
00:48:17.520 that comes across our southern border and is bused to your town.
00:48:22.560 What that does for the corporations is suppress wages and boost their profits.
00:48:29.620 What that does for black, brown and blue collar Americans is suppress their wages and lead to
00:48:35.680 a lower standard of living.
00:48:37.720 And Donald Trump, I mean, the essence of MAGA, Make America Great Again, Populist Economic
00:48:44.340 Nationalism is really, and I talk about this at length in the Taking Back Trump's American book,
00:48:49.960 the Iron Triangle, the Iron Triangle of MAGA.
00:48:54.180 It's secure borders.
00:48:56.800 It's an end to endless war.
00:48:58.180 And above all, and this is where I was in the White House, is the tip of the spear, fair trade.
00:49:03.460 And it's all about offshoring production.
00:49:08.760 And the corporate media, whether they're left or right, doesn't matter.
00:49:13.760 CNN all the way over to Fox, their bread and butter are those corporations, whether it's Walmart or Ford or GM,
00:49:23.200 whoever it is, they make money by offshoring our jobs.
00:49:28.720 And the other, of course, big part of the equation is big pharma.
00:49:35.240 And the reason why we have Fauci relatively unscathed in the corporate media,
00:49:43.360 even as the rest of America thinks he's a loathsome little gnome who caused the pandemic,
00:49:48.580 is because they protect him so that Pfizer can make obscene profits, forcing us with their vaccinations.
00:49:58.880 It's a scam and a game.
00:50:02.200 And that was the beginning.
00:50:04.720 What came out of Brett Baier's mouth that day, that night on November 3rd of election night,
00:50:11.840 was the beginning of the end of Fox News' support for Donald Trump.
00:50:17.880 And it's been a long, slow, steady slide down, where now they don't cover Trump rallies.
00:50:26.980 They don't let Trump surrogates like me on the air to discuss issues.
00:50:32.300 And the only people that they put on the air from the old Trump administration are the Kudlow's and McEnany's of the world who have criticized Donald Trump over Jan 6th,
00:50:46.740 or the Pompeo's of this world who they see as viable candidates who will criticize Trump when the time comes during the presidential primaries.
00:50:56.360 But that, that was the beginning right there, coming out of Brett Baier's mouth, and it was wrong.
00:51:02.620 It's time for Fox News and Brett Baier to admit they were wrong.
00:51:08.160 They can claim, okay, they can go ahead and claim, well, Biden won the election.
00:51:12.060 It was an 11,000 vote margin, which is well within the margin of error.
00:51:19.140 There's no way you could call that election hours before.
00:51:22.920 And by the way, Brett, by the way, the words that came out of your mouth made people who were going to vote for Trump stay home.
00:51:31.300 Was it 11,000, 20,000, 5,000, 30,000?
00:51:36.220 I don't know.
00:51:37.720 But what I do know is that when you take all the ghost voters and all the fraud and all the people who they stuffed the ballot box with,
00:51:47.500 Trump won that election.
00:51:50.020 And they are deathly afraid of finding out.
00:51:52.820 And I say with the great fondness for the people of Arizona today,
00:51:58.100 the decision you are making today in this primary for MAGA folks like Carrie Lake,
00:52:07.280 for Governor Blake Masters for Senate, and in my judgment, most important, Mark Fincham for Secretary of State.
00:52:15.820 These are the choices that Arizona can make as the railhead of election integrity issues that will get us to the truth.
00:52:26.240 And once we get MAGA folks in, in Arizona, and we find out what that truth was,
00:52:34.700 as Steve Bannon always likes to say, one falls, they all fall.
00:52:42.440 Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon.
00:52:45.640 He will be back with you tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. Eastern Time, in the War Room.
