00:16:56.600It is definitely brass knuckles. Welcome back. We're on the Labor Day special of
00:17:01.400and we want to thank everybody at Real America's Voice to make it to make this happen. We love doing
00:17:05.160these holiday specials. We're doing a tour to horizon the world economy where we stand as kind
00:17:10.040of a jumping off point for the sprint to November 8th and beyond after we get in office about executing.
00:17:15.960Peter's book is not just what the problems are, it's what the solutions have to be,
00:17:21.160which makes it very, very powerful. Also, talking about solution, I want to make sure everybody goes
00:17:24.680to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon. I've got my second part. You know, first part did the politics
00:17:31.400of money. This is the end of the dollar empire. This is part two. This is about the falling of the
00:17:36.280U.S. dollar's reserve currency. Financial Times has had a piece about the reserve currency the
00:17:42.280other day. We're going to put that back up on Getter. Everybody's got to read this. We're going
00:17:47.160to do, I think, five, six, seven, eight of these to get people up at the end of the dollar empire.
00:17:51.800Part two, it's all free. I had a huge turnout for the first. If you haven't gotten the first,
00:17:56.280go to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon. You get the first one, the politics of money,
00:18:02.680and then you get, then you can get part two. Part two's out now officially over the weekend and
00:18:08.200today. I want to go back to Dr. Navarro. Peter, give me a couple of minutes because I don't think
00:18:14.600a lot of the, a particularly new audience that have come on in the last year or so,
00:18:20.120that weren't with the show in 19 during the impeachment and weren't there in 2020 during the,
00:18:24.520the, uh, during the pandemic, uh, appreciate really the kind of blue collar nature of really
00:18:31.480Trump's outlook on life. Although he comes from Queens and you know, he was born into a real estate
00:18:36.280family, but dead, very hardworking, tremendous work ethic. Obviously the president is a seven day
00:18:41.560a week. I doesn't drink, doesn't really party, plays a little golf, but even golf is, is he's
00:18:46.280networking and working the entire time, but he's a seven day a week guy. You, I'm not sure you took a
00:18:51.480day off in your four years in the white house. You were there every day, but why is, and we've
00:18:57.240done these specials now for a couple of years. Why is labor day, MAGA day, the high holy day of, uh,
00:19:03.720or the high holiday of, of, of MAGA? Well, Steve, uh, MAGA as distinguished from rhino republicanism,
00:19:15.960um, focuses on what I call the iron MAGA triangle. And it's the, the end of,
00:19:21.320endless wars. Certainly. Um, it's, uh, the, uh, fair trade, which is kind of, um, at the top of the
00:19:31.080list and it's the secure borders. Now, if you look at that iron triangle, um, the two of those legs,
00:19:40.280secure borders and, and, and fair trade basically speak directly to the deplorables. The black,
00:19:48.360brown, blue collar Americans working in manufacturing and, and trying to earn a living in, in difficult
00:19:59.480globalized times and, and labor day, traditionally, you know, the great parades, it, it belonged to the
00:20:06.840deplorables. And as I said, in our last segment, it's always been a special day to me, particularly
00:20:12.600when I was in the white house. It was the, the one day every year where I was assured I could be,
00:20:20.040um, in the white house, uh, not surrounded by, you know, Mnuchin and Gary Cohn off in the Hamptons
00:20:27.640or Kudlow in Connecticut or, or Kushner back wherever he would go. And the boss always understood Labor
00:20:35.080Day. He, he got it. He knew that Labor Day was the sweet spot of the sweetest of spots in the
00:20:42.520battleground states, particularly, um, across the, uh, what has become, uh, unfortunately,
00:20:49.240in many cases, the Rust Belt, the place where all of the factories got bundled up and shipped off to
00:20:56.360China. You know, the, the four years I spent in the white house, every day was Labor Day. We were
00:21:01.960trying to get those back. So it's a, it's a very special day in this country. And we as a country
00:21:10.360need to remember its importance because without labor earning decent, real wages, we don't have
00:21:20.360a country. And that's where we're in now, Steve. That's the problem. The deplorable, I mean, we've got
00:21:25.880a, just, just, uh, an army of illegal aliens streaming across our border that bills come
00:21:35.000and do. And the people who are at the front lines of that is that driving down. Is that driving down?
00:21:40.200Is that driving down wages? Is that driving down wages? Is that driving down wages? Is that driving
00:21:44.200down wages in the service industry among American citizens, African Americans and Hispanic Americans?
00:21:50.280Is that driving down wages in the service business? And, and just wait, because we were talking about
00:21:55.960the lies of Janet Yellen. She gets on, she goes to Davos, right? And among one of the many lies she tells
00:22:04.840is that immigration's down. She's talking about how immigration levels are down. It's like, okay,
00:22:13.000maybe legal immigration, but are you kidding me? And so this is, these are all destabilizing forces.
00:22:21.160So for me, I think, I think it's a really good time to, um, think about what MAGA means. It's,
00:22:30.520we are not the fascists that Joe Biden would have us portray. It's very, very simple. It's like
00:22:37.560people, uh, you, who, who shower after they go to work rather than before they go to work. That's
00:22:45.240who we are. We are the hardworking people that provide things around this country. And we've
00:22:52.760been shunned aside. And I'm telling you, Steve, you know, this inflation, again, the picture behind
00:22:57.880me, that's the seventies. It's just, it's just going to eat away at the fabric of our economy and society.
00:23:04.280Let me, let me, uh, before we get to the, to the different economies I want to get into,
00:23:08.760but I've got to bring up two political things. I want to ask you, Ro Khanna, who's kind of the head
00:23:12.680of the progressive wing of the, uh, from Silicon Valley, we're up there in Northern California,
00:23:17.400a congressman who has presidential ambitions. He's been in the Midwest and Politico has been all over
00:23:23.640this, uh, making this round. He says we're Trump voters and kind of, uh, moderates or independents
00:23:29.880and Democrats are listening to this guy and his whole tour is called economic patriotism.
00:23:36.680What is the difference from what Ro Khanna is talking about with economic patriot that Democrats
00:23:43.400sitting there going, Hey, if we ever want to get these Trump voters back, we got to be preaching
00:23:47.320this and acting on it. What is the difference between economic patriotism and Peter Navarro's
00:23:52.040economic nationalism, sir? Uh, rhetoric versus reality. And you mentioned where Ro Khanna comes
00:23:59.400from Silicon Valley. I mean, besides wall street, Silicon Valley is the primary catalyst for the
00:24:07.880offshoring, not just Steve, not just of our jobs and our labor, but also of our technology. I mean,
00:24:14.920it's Silicon Valley that arms the Chinese communists with the technology that they then employ their
00:24:23.080people with to basically send subsidized products here in America to put people out of work. To
00:24:29.400Ro Khanna, if I, if he was sitting right in front of me, I'd say, what took you guys so long in the
00:24:33.720Democratic Party? At least adopt the rhetoric. I mean, you got Janet Yellen preaching supply side economics
00:24:40.440to support their, their Keynesian policies on steroids causing inflation. You got things like
00:24:46.600the inflation reduction act being jammed down the throats of people by CNN when it's actually going
00:24:52.600to spur inflation. You got Tim Ryan in Ohio, um, running against J.D. Vance saying he's like a blue
00:25:02.520collar supporter going to get a manufacturing back to Ohio. Look, Tim Ryan was in my death by China film.
00:25:09.480He talks the talk, but that dude has not walked the talk. He has been part of the Joe Biden, Nancy
00:25:19.400Pelosi stagflation machine. And so, you know, we get, we gotta, we gotta, you know, we're fighting
00:25:28.600back. I mean, buy American, hire American. Those were the two simple rules of Donald John Trump. That was
00:25:35.000what I did at the White House. But, but, but hang on, the corporate, I want you to walk through
00:25:43.400right now. Cause Biden's saying he signed this by American that, you know, it goes with this grand
00:25:46.600environment. Why, when you were, when you were in the Trump White House, what, I want people to
00:25:52.040understand how hard it is to get by American to even get it signed, but more importantly, get it
00:25:58.200implemented. Cause it's not far from perfect now. And by why people talk, and I'm telling you, if you
00:26:04.600want to get votes, you walk around and say, buy American, hire American. And for most people,
00:26:09.880including Roquehanna, it's totally empty rhetoric. You, sir, were the tip of the spear and the driving
00:26:16.200force and buy American. And I can tell you from my time in the White House and then afterwards,
00:26:20.280knowing you so well, there's probably nothing you worked on that people say, no, no, get out of
00:26:25.240here. Get out of here. What, what is it structurally in our country that that's one of the big forces
00:26:30.920that pushed back even in a Trump administration on buy American, sir?
00:26:35.480If you look at the, the Democrats on the Hill, they're the party of Davos. They're the party,
00:26:43.960they get a lot of money from, from the corporations of the world that love to offshore our jobs. So
00:26:51.000that's just pure profit politics. And then you got the rhinos, like the Coke network folks,
00:26:58.040they're in the same camp. And then you've got the purest libertarians.
00:27:05.400guys like, like Mick Mulvaney in the freedom caucus. Um, I had to fight Mulvaney. There's,
00:27:12.280there's great stuff in the book about that. I had to fight Mulvaney from day one on buy American,
00:27:17.640hire American. It's like, Mick, that's what the president wants. Why are you supporting? He goes,
00:27:22.920well, it's going to increase the costs. It's like, no kidding. We're trying to fight the,
00:27:29.320the unfairness of China dropping subsidized products down into South Carolina. Wouldn't you
00:27:37.080rather have factories there? So it's like, whether it was the Mnuchin Kudlow Cone wing of the West
00:27:45.320wing fighting me because they, they, they, they were rhino types. Um, I, and here's the thing,
00:27:51.640Steve constantly. I tell you what, hold that, hold that, hold that, hold that for, we're gonna take a
00:27:56.120break. We're here at Peter Navarro walking through the world economy, the American economy
00:28:00.680on labor day and what it is to buy American and hire American. It sounds great. Ain't so easy to do,
00:28:07.240but most importantly, it must be done. All next in the world.
00:28:11.640They put Peter Navarro in leg irons for simply doing his constitutional duty. Now they want to
00:28:30.840put Peter in prison for standing up for Donald Trump. Please go to Amazon right now and order
00:28:36.520taking back Trump's America to help fund Peter's legal defense, taking back Trump's America provides
00:28:42.440a critical MAGA blueprint to put Trump back in the white house in 2024 by taking back Trump's
00:28:48.680America on Amazon today. If they can put Peter Navarro in prison, they can come for all of us.
00:28:56.440Okay. Welcome back to the labor day special, by the way, who that was a Gary Cohn and Mnuchin
00:29:00.680that sicked the FBI on you. They're the ones that wanted you in leg irons, right? The most
00:29:05.000I only say that partially in jest. I think it's safe to say it could be Nancy Pelosi,
00:29:11.720because the latest thing that the Democrat House has done is filed an amicus brief
00:29:20.680in my case to make sure I go into prison. So that's another story for another day.
00:29:25.720That's a story for another day. Hold it. But I want to get back to Cohen and Kudlow,
00:29:30.520Mnuchin and Mick Mulvaney's the Republicans, the establishment Republicans. They say, look,
00:29:35.560Bannon and Navarro, they got these good ideas and but they play to Trump's worst elements.
00:29:40.680And here's the problem is that because they're not particularly sophisticated. Yeah,
00:29:44.040they try to stand up for working class people. But the system is not if we did the buy American
00:29:49.080because we're a globalist economy, which are completely interlocked throughout the world.
00:29:53.560And what we should always be doing to make sure that the junk that's sold in Walmart, which doesn't
00:29:58.200include my pillows, because that's made in the United States. And because he stands up,
00:30:03.960Mike Lindell stands for his your political beliefs. They've banned him from Walmart,
00:30:08.360where they're taking the Chinese and all the pillows made from around the world, but not the
00:30:11.880American pillows. But you can get from 1988 by going to my pillow.com promo code. How's that for a
00:30:18.200segue? Do that? No. But but Navarro here, they said, look, Peter Navarro is Peter Navarro. He's a
00:30:24.360fighter. He clearly has Trump's ear. But here's the problem. Even though he went to Harvard, he's a
00:30:29.880little too supportive of working class people because he's naturally, you know, he's a he's a he's
00:30:36.120always a fighter for the little guy. He's a Bantam rooster, but he's a fighter for the little guy.
00:30:40.760And here's the problem in the interconnected economy that we have. It's just it's very unsophisticated
00:30:47.400that you always want to go to the lowest source of production. And really, the United States is
00:30:53.560just a a marketing engine that sells to people that essentially work in service account. Gary
00:30:58.360Cohen would say over and over again, we're a service economy. We're a service economy.
00:31:01.960So, Peter, when you talk, when you go internally, forget the Democrats, because the problem is the
00:31:07.240establishment Republicans. When you would sit there and go, no, no, no, no, we have to have by American
00:31:11.560and we have to have higher American. Nothing would bring out their true colors in that,
00:31:16.520because whether it's Cohen or Mnuchin or Mick Mulvaney or the Chamber of Commerce,
00:31:22.120which if you mentioned Peter Navarro's name at the Chamber of Commerce, they literally spit right
00:31:26.120on the floor. What about their arguments is that Navarro's heart's in the right place,
00:31:31.720but his head's in the clouds. And this is horribly inefficient. It's a squandering of resources.
00:31:39.080It's inflationary. It's every bad thing you want is going to it's going to it's going to fail because
00:31:45.800it doesn't support creative destruction. Dr. Peter Navarro. Well, I think, first of all,
00:31:51.560you have to distinguish between rhetoric to advance corporate interests versus true believers. I mean,
00:32:00.200I think a guy like Mulvaney truly believed that buy American, hire American was a bad policy that
00:32:08.680would be inflationary. Whereas Cohen, Goldman Sachs, he was simply carrying the water
00:32:14.600for the Wall Street corporatists who want to send jobs abroad. But there's two things to say.
00:32:20.920First of all, one, for more than 20 years, I've been arguing that we've consistently underestimated the
00:32:28.840geopolitical risk of offshore supply chains. And that has come home to roost now in spades, right?
00:32:37.800I have been proven right on that in spades right now. The idea that we've got our supply chains
00:32:45.080spread all over the globe has has now led to the fact of stagflation and contributed to that. So
00:32:52.920my point here, first of all, is they don't they don't properly assign risk to the calculation,
00:33:00.440right? They just go for the sweatshops and the pollution havens. The second thing I always say,
00:33:07.000it's a snapshot view of the world versus a movie view of the world. A static versus dynamic view.
00:33:13.560In a static perspective, yes, we have prices go up. Now, I would say here, even in a static view,
00:33:22.920about 40%, 40 cents on every dollar come back to the tax base. So that's good. So whatever a dollar
00:33:30.520you spend on Buy America, you get a bunch of it back. But here's the thing, Steve. Over time,
00:33:36.840it's the dynamic view. It's the movie view where you get more and more manufacturing here.
00:33:43.400Now, a central lesson I learned in my China research is when the manufacturing goes offshore,
00:33:50.040the service jobs have to follow it. The supply chain follows it. And so when you reestablish
00:33:56.680manufacturing through Buy American, Hire American policies, you're not only creating a job at the
00:34:03.320manufacturing level, you're bringing the supply chain back home, which is both safer and cheaper.
00:34:09.480So the movie version of this, and this is pure Trump deplorable, Steve, the movie version is we're
00:34:15.400all better off in this country under Buy American, particularly the black, brown and blue collar
00:34:21.240Americans that don't have the money to go to college, so they don't have their loans forgiven.
00:34:27.400High school educated in manufacturing, prosperous, safe.
00:34:34.040Let me go. I want to go to the supply chain situation. Maybe this will get us a segue into
00:34:37.800the American economy. But in September of 2022, sir, given all the efforts that you had during a pandemic,
00:34:46.360the medical supply chain, the drug supply chain, because now know because you've exposed it,
00:34:52.520and we had people on here in those early months of February, March and April 2020 exposing it.
00:34:58.920Has any of the really supply chain, even with the efforts of Trump and Biden, the disaster,
00:35:04.200but because they always argue, hey, the inflation is caused by supply chain disruptions.
00:35:08.600Has any of the supply chain really started to come back, particularly on the manufacturing side,
00:35:12.840or at best because of the now obviously geopolitical issues with China that we,
00:35:18.680I think you and I in the war room have been at the forefront, and Miles Guo is saying how
00:35:24.520radical the CCP is and how dangerous they are to be in business, that you see that dispersing
00:35:29.800maybe to other parts of Southeast Asia, maybe to Vietnam, maybe to other Malaysia,
00:35:34.840maybe even parts of Taiwan. Have we made any progress in your mind, given we had this pandemic
00:35:41.720that exposed it to the world of essentially bringing America's supply chains home?
00:35:46.760Well, Steve, let me say that in the White House, over the course of the four years,
00:35:52.600we were able to sign a large number of Buy American, Hire American orders. And we saw through the
00:35:59.960statistics, a steady improvement in the amount of government dollars on that. So there was progress.
00:36:08.200Biden has undone every one of that. And in some sense, I want to blow your mind here
00:36:14.440with a little story that's out of the Taking Back Trump's America book, because the one of the things
00:36:19.560that got away from me, and it wasn't just Mnuchin and Kudlow and Mulvaney, there was one thing I got in
00:36:28.120conflict with with Lighthizer as a trade rep. It's like the boss and I, POTUS and I wanted to rescind
00:36:35.640this agreement we have with the WTO, the World Trade Organization. Steve, I'm going to blow your
00:36:43.960mind here. Effectively, there's more than 30 countries that we treat as America for the purposes
00:36:52.440of Buy American procurement from the U.S. government. It's crazy. Hold it, stop. We would have been
00:36:58.360able to undo that with one signature. Hold it, stop. Nobody knows that. Walk me through that again.
00:37:04.520There are 30 countries that are defined as America. More than 30, yeah. No, stop. Most of Europe.
00:37:11.320Okay, here's the way it works. Within the World Trade Organization, there's a treaty.
00:37:16.280Is that true? There's a treaty. Is that true? Hold it. It is true. We include other.
00:37:22.280Hang on, Steve. Let me just give you this, because this was the General Agreement on
00:37:27.560Procurement in the WTO. It's the GPA. It says, for the purposes of Buy American procurement bidding,
00:37:40.840we treat those countries like they're America. Germany, France, Spain, Italy. And my head exploded
00:37:51.480when I found that out. And I spent like the better part of four years. You know, the boss always wanted,
00:37:57.080let's get the hell out of the WTO. I was like, hey, that may or may not be a good idea, but how about
00:38:03.720this is a first step? All Lighthizer had to do was sign one little letter and said, hey,
00:38:10.360we're out of this. And they couldn't retaliate against us. There was nothing they could do.
00:38:16.920We were just out. That would happen. But I mean, think about that, Steve. That's the kind of
00:38:22.680institutional problems we're up against. And I'll tell you what, there's these agreements that the
00:38:28.040Pentagon has country to country that wave Buy American. And it's like, I look at this and it's
00:38:37.160nuts. Like, are you kidding me? But that's the kind of fights we had. This is this institutional
00:38:44.360attitude, the party of Davos that decades ago, we decided we were going to make the rest of the
00:38:51.400world prosperous as a way of making us prosperous. This is outrageous. But you buried the you said
00:38:57.080something here is explosive. Joe Biden goes to Scranton, you know, that knee jerk reaction to
00:39:01.720say he's Joe from Scranton, the people of Scranton know it's a joke. But he's made a huge deal of
00:39:06.440signing all these by Americans. I want to be very specific here, because you had I don't know how
00:39:11.320many executive orders that President Trump put put in a place on by by American, higher American.
00:39:17.240You're telling me he undid all all of what you did. He undid. But did he do things better? Because
00:39:23.560they they they they they pride themselves on saying that he's the by American guy. Now that Trump really
00:39:28.120didn't do anything. He did not do all of them. But but what you need my mission in the White House,
00:39:35.800besides getting executive orders signed, it was kind of like the Bill Murray caddyshack thing with the
00:39:42.920gopher holes. Right. It's like every year in the appropriations bills, you had congressmen and
00:39:48.840senators putting little waivers in as part of broader packages, trying to waive by American.
00:39:55.880The worst guy until the deceased was John McCain. OK, but it was like a constant fight. And and my
00:40:05.000deputy Alex Gray and I were like, OK, we got to like respond to that one. I mean, I'm telling you,
00:40:10.120Steve, it's a it's the war in the Jones Act, which is the oldest expression of by American,
00:40:16.760which is basically says that that if you got ships going from point to point within the U.S.,
00:40:24.360they have to be built, crewed and owned by Americans. It's like that's the lifeline to a
00:40:30.840shipbuilding industry that's almost dead anyway. And that they they're constantly going after that.
00:40:37.240So my point is that unless you have Trump deplorables inside the deep administrative
00:40:46.520state beast in the West Wing and everywhere in between in that bureaucracy, you're going to get
00:40:51.400people who are basically anti-labor. And that's why this Labor Day is important, Steve. Labor Day
00:40:59.000and Memorial Day are the two most important days to the deplorables because the Iron Triangle
00:41:04.200maggots, the end endless war, secure borders and fair trade, which means fair treatment
00:41:09.880of American workers and manufacturers. Peter, hang on for one second.
00:41:16.520He's got a new book out. You've got to get this is kind of the blueprint for going forwards, how to win
00:41:21.000in November. But as importantly, because we know we're going to win if we keep our shoulder to the
00:41:27.160wheel and eye on it. But it's about what we do afterwards. And this is why this book so important.
00:41:31.960People talk all the time. Well, everybody identifies the problem. Nobody identifies the solution.
00:41:35.640Dr. Peter Navarro has drilled down to do that. We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:41:39.960We're in turn with Dr. Navarro is going to give us his assessment of the world's economy,
00:41:43.800the American economy and what actually needs to happen to fix it. It's Labor Day. It's our special.
00:41:52.040It's MAGA's holiday. We're gonna take a short break. We'll be back on Real America's Voice in the War Room next.
00:42:01.960We'll fight to the end. Just watch and see. It's all started. Everything's begun. And you are over.
00:42:09.480We'll fight to the end. We'll fight to the end. We'll fight till they're all gone. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CCP.
00:42:25.480Getter has arrived. The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and canceling cancel culture.
00:42:34.480Join the marketplace of ideas. The platform for independent thought has arrived.
00:42:39.480Superior technology. No more selling your personal data. No more censorship. No more cancel culture. Enough.
00:42:47.480Getter has arrived. It's time to say what you want, the way you want. Download now.
00:42:54.480Okay, welcome back. I want everybody also to understand, go to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
00:43:02.480I've done this series, and one of the things I pride this show in is being able to take people with no economics background,
00:43:07.480middle class and working class people, and you'd be shocked by the people who've come to me that are highly educated.
00:43:13.480I said, man, I didn't know any of this. I didn't really know how the economy worked.
00:43:17.480I didn't know how it was inextricably linked to Europe. I didn't understand our reliance on the Chinese Communist Party.
00:43:22.480We pride ourselves. This show is as sophisticated a business show as you can get.
00:43:27.480And I get this from hedge fund guys all the time. But we make this show for the MAGA and the deplorables.
00:43:32.480And what I'm so proud of is how you guys have responded to it.
00:43:36.480And so and that's why we put these books out, whether it's, you know, Lords of Easy Money or the Trillion Dollar Triage or Dr. Navarro's books, all that,
00:43:44.480because we want to get as much information to you as possible.
00:43:46.480You'll see a change in your life. You'll see a change of how you look at the world when you understand it's about money and power. Right.
00:43:53.480We're obviously finding a great spiritual war, but in the temporal sphere, it's money and power.
00:43:58.480I want everybody to go to birchgold.com forward slash band and you get the second installment of the end of the dollar empire.
00:44:06.480This is on the prime reserve currency. It's a prime. It's a primer on that.
00:44:10.480So you understand we talk prime reserve currency. What an important concept that is.
00:44:13.480And I want to thank Dr. Peter Navarro has been with us since we started the show back in 2019.
00:44:19.480He's just done such a great job of explaining everything in really layman's nomenclature with using all the sophistication of his Harvard Ph.D.
00:44:28.480I think one of the reasons I love your book and I gave such a shout out to it that you heard in the spot is particularly in this book.
00:44:35.480You talk about not just the issues you break down, but you also talk about the actions.
00:44:38.480Why do you think you because people don't know you. You're like a brother to me.
00:44:43.480But when Navarro is working a project, you can't get him. I mean, when he's doing this book, you just can't.
00:44:46.480He's just he's he's so maniacally focused on the on the problem of hands like he was in the White House.
00:44:52.480That's why Trump loves him so much and trust him so much.
00:44:55.480What is it about this book in this time? What?
00:44:57.480Because everybody comes to me and says, Steve, I'm overwhelmed with the problems.
00:45:00.480I need somebody to give me a clear common sense solution.
00:45:09.480Look, the Taking Back Trump's America book, what I try to always do is see this chessboard to look over the horizon in Admiral Bannon's terms.
00:45:21.480And I think one of the first contributions of the Taking Back Trump's America book is to have, I think, the most complete explanation of what MAGA is, who the deplorables are, what we stand for.
00:45:35.480And I think just folks reading that portion of the book will be able to much better defend ourselves against the slings and arrows of people who want to call us domestic terrorists or fascists or any of that.
00:45:51.480And as we talked about earlier, Steve, the Iron MAGA triangle of populist economic nationalism is the end to endless wars, the secure borders.
00:46:02.480And most of all, and I was the tip of the spear on this is fair trade with the rest of the world.
00:46:08.480So that that that's I think that in and of itself is an important contribution.
00:46:13.480The second thing is one of the one of the important principles of the book, it's the canon of Bannon.
00:46:21.480And I lay out in the book the critical, absolutely critical importance, not just getting the White House back in 2024, but first and foremost, getting the House of Representatives back, not for Republicans, but for Trump Republicans.
00:46:38.480I explain how in 2018 we lost the House because of mistakes made with inside the White House facilitated by Mitch McConnell, where we focused too much on the Senate, not off the House that unleashed Pelosi, Raskin, Schiff and this unconstitution and illegal use of Congress's investigatory powers.
00:47:04.480And so the taking back Trump's America book really is an exclamation point as to why and how we have to take back the House.
00:47:13.480And then moving forward in terms of once power is put back in the hands of the people, the deplorables through Trump Republicans, we have to get back to the kind of structural economic solutions
00:47:30.480that are going to deal with what's going to be a stagflation crisis that's going to make what we experienced in the 70s look like a walk in the park.
00:47:40.480And I was there in the 70s, a prime age when that was happening, and it was not a good time for anybody and it went on for more than 10 years.
00:47:51.480And so the Taking Back Trump's America book, I could have called it Taking Back Trump's economy, but it's more than that.
00:47:59.480But that's basically why I think this book is timely and important and can help carry us into November as we're fighting the poll suppression and all of this from the Democrat establishment
00:48:14.480who are trying to do everything they can to beg, borrow and steal November and hang on to power.
00:48:20.480I cannot imagine a world, Steve, right now where the Democrats hang on to the Congress in 2022 and the White House in 2024.
00:48:31.480We will not have a country as we know it for the deplorables we all love.
00:48:37.480And so that's what the Taking Back Trump's America book is about.
00:48:48.480My last book in Trump time, which was the first of my White House memoirs, in large part because of the war room, was the best selling book of the Trump memoirs.
00:48:59.480This one's explosive. As Steve Bannon says, it's brass knuckles. I hold nothing back.
00:49:05.480And I explain why in the next administration we have to do a whole lot better in terms of the people we surround President Trump with.
00:49:37.480Remember, Labor Day is the traditional end of the year, end of the holidays, the summer and the start of that sprint towards the Christmas holidays.
00:49:45.480But in between there, we have November 8th.
00:49:48.480And then after we win and I mean when I mean 40, 50, 60 seats in the House, we then have to know what we're doing with governing.
00:49:56.480One thing we're getting to the next is this thing called the appropriations process, the appropriations bill.
00:50:01.480That is one of the greatest powers the founders gave the House representative, really the House of Commons for the American people.
00:50:08.480But the games that are played, the tricks that are pulled, you're going to hear all next where the War Room or Labor Day special back in 90 seconds.
