Dr. Peter Navarro joins us on the show to talk about his new book, "Buy American, Hire American" and what it means to be a conservative in the 21st century. He also talks about the dangers of globalism and how to deal with it.
00:01:34.620Peter, in the last segment, before we go on, we're going to talk about the economics of the world and where we are and where people are in the United States and about your book about solutions.
00:01:42.340But I want to make sure we go back in because some of the details we're putting up are so important.
00:01:48.760The appropriate if we take that when we take the house, one of the key things that the founders gave the house because the house they viewed is kind of like the House of Commons.
00:01:57.560And the House really has the most power in it.
00:02:01.240You know, the Senate, and although back then it was supposed to be by state legislatures, which we still should be, is really the personnel department because it approves.
00:02:12.080You've got to get everything through there of the 4,000 political appointees, 1,000 are Senate confirmed.
00:02:18.980So I call it the human resources of the personnel department because you've got to get from that process, particularly for Trump and MAGA people, as you know, is brutal.
00:02:28.360And I only say kiddingly, if you were up for Treasury Secretary, I would want the TV rights to your confirmation hearing because it would be guns free.
00:02:38.500The other thing the Senate does is treaties.
00:02:40.800And treaties used to be more important, I think, in the old days.
00:02:51.480The appropriations process, you buried something because I don't think people at home understand when you say this buzzword, buy American, hire American, which logically should be so.
00:03:01.820And everybody runs around from Roe Cahan and everybody talking about it.
00:03:04.880But it's actually very difficult because all the vested interests that are globalist in their direction.
00:03:12.600You mentioned John McCain, one of the hardest you had looking at the appropriations bill.
00:03:17.420Remember, everything in D.C., it comes off the appropriations bill because budgets don't mean anything.
00:03:24.320The political rhetoric is all happy talk where the deals get cut.
00:03:27.380The most powerful committee in Washington, D.C. is the House Appropriations Committee.
00:03:33.640That is where basically the beef gets carved up.
00:03:36.940And you said it was interesting, you said you and your great deputy had to be on the trigger coming out of appropriation with the Senate because John McCain, wasn't he the true talking express or the truth express or some kind of the big talk express or something?
00:03:52.560Remember, he was the plain talk express and he was for working people.
00:03:55.840You're telling me John McCain was the worst guy out there of taking out buy American, hire American, sir?
00:04:02.460Steve, by a wide margin, John McCain was always sticking these little poison pills into what they call the NDAs, which were these riders that would go on to appropriations.
00:04:21.520We'd identify them and then we'd have the White House send a note back.
00:04:26.000But even with inside the White House, then we'd have to fight OMB, the Office of Management Budget, when Mulvaney was there.
00:04:35.100Because Mulvaney was one of these libertarian, ultra-libertarian, true believers who didn't endorse buy American.
00:04:44.520And I think if you think about the opposition to buy American, Steve, the Democrat Party lost its way when it began relying more and more on donations from Wall Street and became kind of a creature of Silicon Valley.
00:05:03.440Both the entrepreneurs and the tech folks there, as well as the social media folks.
00:05:08.520That's why the rhetoric of Roe Kalyan is never going to match the reality of his endorsements of populist economic nationalism.
00:06:07.180If anybody's been paying attention in the posse to Pat Toomey, he's the senator who never should have got elected from Pennsylvania,
00:06:14.420who hated everything about Trump trade policy, terror policy and buy American.
00:06:19.580And so you had and so I was, Steve, it's like it's like when I got into the White House,
00:06:27.120the biggest surprise I had was having to fight more people inside the White House than outside the White House to advance the president's buy American,
00:07:04.040Before we turn to the economy overall and what what people need to think about and know for their personal life in their community, their political life.
00:07:13.680If you're if we talk about building up with these different organizations today, enough people.
00:07:18.980So you have the beachhead teams, the landing teams, the process.
00:07:21.960Once you win the presidency and the transition, you start to put a beachhead team in that can go over to during the transition.
00:07:27.840You can go over into these agencies and start to work on the basics of really a handover, kind of like relieve the watch on a Navy ship.
00:07:35.280Then you get teams in right when you take over.
00:07:37.780Understanding not everybody's approved, particularly the guys are Senate confirmed are going to take a while.
00:07:41.480And of course, Mitch McConnell in the Republican slow walk, all the Trump guys.
00:07:45.520But we have to hit it this time with three thousand, three thousand, particularly in your area.
00:07:52.360There's probably a thousand people related to trade, manufacturing, economics that have to hit the beach or not Senate confirmed.
00:07:59.120So in the book, how do you address this problem today of how do you get the the the Joanna Millers and these young fire breathers that people that know something, that are skilled, that have worked?
00:08:13.140Make the posse feel comfortable that you're you're ahead of the curve here, how we're not going to have we're not going to because we're not going to have a we're not going to we can't miss a beat this time.
00:08:22.760And this this changeover from Biden regime to Trump is going to be very nasty.
00:08:28.100They're not going to just sit there and go, oh, this is lovely.
00:08:34.640How do you propose in the book that we deal with this?
00:08:38.720So, see, I think one of the most important parts of the Taking Back Trump is America book is the very clear articulation of not just what MAGA is,
00:08:49.600but also why it's the key to prosperity and, you know, Bossert back in the NSC used to say lead with intelligence to the extent that the deplorables and posse can lead with intelligence about MAGA and explain why it's essential to have buy American, hire American manufacturing on shore, supply chains on shore,
00:09:11.260not just for economic prosperity, but for national security reasons.
00:09:15.360That's important. And I go in the early part of the book, I go through a journey which you were very much a part of.
00:09:21.960It's like there's two things that I point out.
00:09:24.380One, when my first participation in the Trump campaign in 2016 was helping to write the famous Pittsburgh Jobs Plan speech where we made seven promises on the economy and kept them all.
00:09:37.440And that that that was delivered in June of 2016.
00:09:42.720And it was a learning experience for me because it was just lyrical the way Donald Trump and he wrote a lot of that speech would talk about the beauty and need for bringing manufacturing back.
00:09:56.460And then when you and I got in the White House, Steve, I always love coming over and look at your board in your office where you laid out everything we wanted to accomplish.
00:10:07.560You had a bunch of national security stuff, but all of the stuff on the economy was pure MAGA.
00:10:12.660Now, fast forward, fast forward now, signal here, Steve, is that we got to get MAGA Republicans in control of the House, because if you don't, you're going to have forces which are going to block buy American, hire American, as I explained to you already, who are going to block things like fair trade issues.
00:10:36.500And so that's that's kind of a key part of the whole journey.
00:10:40.960And so if we don't take back the House in November, it's it's just going to be a collapse of everything.
00:10:48.300And I think the best way to fight back now, because MAGA is under attack, you know, we're the fascist domestic terrorists, you know, women, parents, because they want to have parental control of the curriculum or domestic terrorists.
00:11:03.400It's like it's just and they're putting people like me in leg irons and and raiding Mar-a-Lago.
00:11:09.920These are the kinds of things that we need to eliminate.
00:11:14.060And the first step to doing that is taking back the House of Representatives from the Pelosiites.
00:11:21.220And this Labor Day is so special to me.
00:11:24.840It always was when I was in the White House, the Labor Day every year I was in the White House.
00:11:29.660It was the one day where we could celebrate the sanctity of the working classes in America and where I was free to talk and plan events and issues, maybe get executive orders signed in the name of what's the high holy day of the MAGA movement in the in the in the secular calendar.
00:11:52.680It's it's there's two things. It's Memorial Day, the end endless wars Memorial Day and it's it's Labor Day for the securing our borders and the other part of the MAGA triangle, which is the level playing field with the rest of the world.
00:12:09.020And we've got such a long way to go, Steve, but we've got to it's action, action, action, the cannon abandon.
00:12:15.600And the only way we're going to do that is be able to articulate what populist economic nationalism is, why it's the way to prosperity and why it's the antidote to stagflation and why all we want is decent jobs, decent wages and the peace.
00:12:37.060And to be able to raise our families and our children in environments where they're learned and prepared for what is a dog eat dog global environment.
00:12:47.520Walk us through. Let's say you talk about the environment. Let's get the situation. Let's do the sit up.
00:12:52.800We've got a couple of minutes here. Start with America, the United States, your assessment of exactly where we are.
00:12:57.580And then we'll take a break and we'll come back. We'll finish America and do Europe and China.
00:13:01.720Walk me through. Give me some headlines on America.
00:13:05.080So so the only thing that the Biden regime can tout is a low unemployment rate.
00:13:11.100But that's that's a shimmer. We've had so many people leave the workforce because of policy blunders by the Biden administration that we've essentially created a labor shortage.
00:13:25.440That's going to create a wage price spiral that's going to work to the disadvantage of American workers.
00:13:32.480We want real wages to go up. It's going to be very difficult in the circumstances we created.
00:13:38.020So there is that. We've got the series of hyperactive Keynesian stimulus bills that Janet Yellen's trying to sell us as supply side mechanisms, inflation fighters.
00:13:53.080That's the biggest lie that's ever been told. And that's going to be pulsing through the economy.
00:13:58.940And we're going to have this long term stagplationary issue.
00:14:02.480We've lost our strategic energy dominance, meaning that we are now heavily dependent on foreign energy once again.
00:14:10.140And that's going to keep both our energy and food prices up in a way which is going to restrict consumer purchasing power.
00:14:18.420We've got the stock market. I've said this predicted here, and I've been absolutely right about the market turn.
00:14:24.120When I first said it was going down, it's it's down.
00:14:28.100Dow is going to be at twenty five thousand before it hits forty thousand in the Biden regime.
00:14:46.360You know, it's never good when your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:09.640Now, 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.
00:15:28.940You know who understands the real threat of inflation?
