And we saw arrive at the Manhattan district attorney's office to surrender himself just a
00:00:04.920
little after 9 a.m. this morning. As he was leaving his SUV, he shook his lawyer's hands
00:00:10.240
and then he turned to the crowd of cameras there saying, among other things, this is all about 60
00:00:15.560
days to the day, referencing the midterm election, suggesting that this prosecution is politically
00:00:20.700
motivated. So now that Bannon is in custody, he will be arrested and go through the motions. He
00:00:25.760
will then appear in court this afternoon around 2.15 to be arraigned on these state charges.
00:00:32.080
We're expecting the Manhattan district attorney and the New York attorney general to hold a joint
00:00:36.760
press conference around 1 p.m. Eastern time. Likely then we will see what these actual charges are.
00:00:42.840
The indictment will be on. They put Peter Navarro in leg irons for simply doing his constitutional duty.
00:00:49.120
Now they want to put Peter in prison for standing up for Donald Trump. Please go to Amazon right now
00:00:54.580
and order Taking Back Trump's America to help fund Peter's legal defense. Taking Back Trump's
00:01:00.220
America provides a critical MAGA blueprint to put Trump back in the White House in 2024
00:01:05.200
by Taking Back Trump's America on Amazon today. If they can put Peter Navarro in prison,
00:01:15.760
Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon and you know why I'm here. I'm not happy about it. Not
00:01:22.380
because I don't love you posse folks. It's because of what's happening yet again to a top Trump guy
00:01:30.800
in Stephen K. Bannon. And how much is enough folks out there before we have a political uprising the
00:01:42.740
likes of which you've never seen. Peaceful at the ballot box. Posse, look at this through the arc of
00:01:50.820
history. They're putting me in leg irons. They're raiding panty raids at Mar-a-Lago. Go back to 2016.
00:02:00.160
They took out Mike Flynn. Manafort in prison. Papadopoulos in prison. Roger Stone with a frogman raid.
00:02:09.020
The New York authorities going after Trump's tax stuff. Ad infinitum. This is nothing but lawfare.
00:02:18.360
Lawfare. It's the obscene misuse of our legal system to persecute and prosecute political individuals
00:02:32.260
that they hope to make literally political prisoners. This cannot stand. Now, if you're as
00:02:40.880
mad as I am, there's only one thing to do. The canon of Bannon. Action, action, action. And the actions
00:02:52.520
that I'm asking you to do today is signal not noise. I want you to focus like a laser beam
00:03:00.740
on these November elections, Posse. I want you to figure out today, if you're not doing this already,
00:03:09.360
who you can support in a congressional race, a Republican in a congressional race that will help
00:03:17.180
help us get back the speaker's gavel from Nancy Pelosi and take back the weaponization unconstitutionally
00:03:27.340
of the investigatory powers of Congress. What they're doing is just flat out wrong. We need to stop
00:03:36.320
that right now. And once we get the speaker's gavel, come January, the tables turn. Those investigatory
00:03:49.740
powers will be used constitutionally, fairly, correctly, to find out just what the hell is going
00:03:59.640
on in the rest of this government. The Department of Justice, the FBI, the White House, the National
00:04:07.280
Archives. This is what's important. So find out today who you can help support with time and money.
00:04:15.640
And by the way, everyone in the war room needs to figure out whether they want to help Carrie Lake
00:04:23.400
in Arizona and Blake Masters for Senate. Tudor Dixon for governor in Michigan and Christina Corralo,
00:04:32.920
Secretary of State. Don't forget Fincham in Arizona for Secretary of State. Doug Mastriano
00:04:39.300
for governor in Pennsylvania and Oz for Senate. This whole, look, whatever you think about Oz,
00:04:50.660
right? He's Trump backed. And the guy running against him, Fetterman is, is, is the worst kind
00:04:59.480
of woke progressive masquerading like Joe Biden as some kind of blue collar mega type. No, no, no,
00:05:07.820
no, no, no. We can't buy that. So it's action, action, action. That's what I'm asking you to do
00:05:13.220
today. Stephen K. Bannon is yet again in the barrel. Why? Because he's got the number one
00:05:21.280
political show and podcast in the world. The Democrats rightly fear him. They want to take
00:05:29.100
him out. Simple as that. Let's go now to the economy. And brother Steve Cortez, first thing I'm
00:05:39.840
going to do with you, Steve, before you say anything is I'm going to take a figurative scissors
00:05:45.020
and figuratively cut that tie off about, about mid chest before you start, man. You're, you're like
00:05:51.880
freaking me out here, man. What is this? It's like, you're not on newsbacks anymore. Come on, brother.
00:05:57.540
You're in the water room. It's not pushed all the way up. How about that? Come on, come on,
00:06:01.460
come into my world. All right. What are we talking about today? The stock market and the bond market
00:06:08.100
have been down simultaneously, which signals stagflation. The latest data coming in, walk us
00:06:14.120
through Steve Cortez land, the latest read on the economy. Yeah, happy to. But Peter, just briefly,
00:06:20.500
before I get to the economy, which is critical and which Joe Biden has made a mess of, of course,
00:06:24.580
in this country, I do just want to say what is happening to you, what has happened to Steve Bannon
00:06:28.560
with this prosecutorial abuse, this weaponization of law enforcement against political opponents,
00:06:33.560
it is unconscionable. And both you and Steve are brave patriots. You are political warriors.
00:06:39.820
And we're not going to hear either one of you griping. Neither one of you is going to wallow
00:06:42.840
in sorrow and say, woe is me. But it is totally unjust what is being done to you. And regarding
00:06:47.820
what's happening to Steve Bannon today, it is no coincidence that this happened two years ago,
00:06:52.340
right before the 2020 election, to try to neutralize him as the most, other than Donald Trump,
00:06:57.680
the most effective spokesman and architect of the America First movement. It's no coincidence
00:07:02.180
it's happening now, right in front of the midterms. This must stop. We cannot have
00:07:06.080
political operatives, people like Steve Bannon arrested every two years before the midterms.
00:07:11.160
This is banana republic crap. Now, speaking of banana republic, unfortunately, economically,
00:07:16.420
our country is headed that way. And I'm not exaggerating. When you look at the totality of
00:07:21.780
the data and the metrics that show the incredible economic anxiety and angst in the country right now,
00:07:27.100
particularly among middle and lower income folks. And what I'd like to point you to today,
00:07:30.800
Peter, because I think this is important. I like to give these company updates. And when I do this,
00:07:34.540
by the way, I have no opinion on these companies. And I'm not saying this stock is a buy or a sell,
00:07:38.880
but I'm saying these companies are reflective of a much larger truth that is out there. And that is
00:07:43.760
that the consumer is absolutely floundering right now. So Newell, NWL is the ticker. If we can pull up
00:07:49.940
chart number one, please. And that's the headline from the Wall Street Journal about Newell brand says
00:07:55.040
retailers are cutting consumer goods orders. And if we can go to chart one, please, and show no,
00:08:00.780
that's that's chart two, folks, that we can show chart number one, we'll get to that one in a
00:08:03.880
second. Don't don't tease it out yet. There we go. Chart number one, that is Newell brands and WL is
00:08:09.560
the ticker. You might not know this name Newell, but you know, their products, a lot of kitchen products,
00:08:13.620
a lot of outdoor living kind of stuff. So they own, for example, Mr. Coffee, Sunbeam, Coleman coolers,
00:08:19.300
Calphalon. They also own Sharpie markers, which Peter Navarro uses to sign autographs,
00:08:24.560
which he does all day, every day. So they own a lot of brands in your life, particularly in your
00:08:29.240
kitchen. If you as you can see on that chart and WL, it is hit a as of yesterday, hit a new 2022 low.
00:08:37.240
And to give you an idea of just how bad the pain is for consumer facing companies like Newell from
00:08:43.000
the highs of 2022 in January to yesterday's low down 32%. Now minus 20% is a
00:08:49.280
bear market. So this is a bear market on steroids. And again, I'm not trying to pick on this company,
00:08:54.440
but I think this is the reality that we are seeing across the board. Let me read you a quote
00:08:58.260
from the CEO of Newell. This is what he said, quote, we have experienced a significantly greater
00:09:04.340
than expected pullback in retailer orders and continued inflationary pressures on the consumer,
00:09:12.280
continued inflationary pressures on the consumer. So Peter, as you know better than anybody,
00:09:18.260
because of your economic expertise, this inflation is so persistent. It's so severe and intense
00:09:25.140
that consumers simply cannot handle it. We also got out yesterday, Peter, for the first time.
00:09:30.960
Let me just, I'm going to let you continue with your charts. I just want to make one point and have you
00:09:37.820
reflect on this. I was stunned at one level when the latest trade deficit data came in, which showed
00:09:48.560
that our trade deficit actually declined. And when we were in the Trump administration, we loved to have
00:09:55.920
that happen. We were able to engineer that because of our tariff policy and this, that, and the other
00:09:59.780
thing. And then it's like, I read below the fold there and why that's happening. And it speaks directly
00:10:06.280
to your point. It's like consumers are so strapped that they're, when they're not buying stuff from
00:10:13.120
Newell and others, a lot of that stuff is imported stuff. So that's another sign that the consumer is
00:10:20.960
in deep trouble if our trade deficit is going down counterintuitively. Anyway, back to you, sir.
00:10:25.820
No, it's an excellent point. Look, we want the trade deficit to go down with demand staying high,
00:10:30.500
right? Meaning that Americans are choosing to buy American-made products and that they have the
00:10:34.580
option to buy American-made products. In this case, the trade deficit went down for the wrong reasons.
00:10:39.860
You're exactly correct. It's because of consumer retrenchment, because for now that most of the
00:10:44.520
sourcing for the consumer is still overseas. We need to change that. That has to be a primary
00:10:48.820
objective of the second Trump term. And we will get to that. But for the time being,
00:10:53.000
the consumer remains incredibly imperiled. Now, let's look at the consumer in light of housing,
00:10:58.600
okay? Because I think this is also incredibly important. Redfin, the realty company, they put
00:11:03.060
out a lot of very good data. And they put out some data just yesterday that I think is very telling
00:11:07.300
of the situation in the country. And this data relates to first-time homebuyers. So now,
00:11:11.940
excuse me, not first-time homebuyers, homebuyers, just refers to homebuyers. If we can pull up
00:11:15.940
chart number two right now, please. Okay. So these are the trends from 2019 pre-pandemic
00:11:21.080
to right now. And by the way, this is for homebuyers. So you have already sort of self-selected
00:11:26.480
a group of people which are generally more successful. People who are buying homes,
00:11:30.740
particularly given home prices today, in general, have higher incomes, are doing better,
00:11:35.000
have been able to save to afford a down payment. So this is already a group that is doing relatively
00:11:40.080
well compared to middle and lower income folks. But among homebuyers, okay, incomes have grown
00:11:45.000
as that table shows. Incomes have grown almost 7% since 2019. At the same time, median home prices
00:11:53.920
have grown 29%. That is the reality right now. And this is nationwide data from Redfin. So your income
00:12:01.940
has grown since 2019. That's a good thing. It hasn't grown enough since Biden took office,
00:12:06.420
but it's grown. But it is nowhere near keeping pace at the absolute surge in the price of land,
00:12:12.960
in the price of housing. Why? Because Biden's inflation is causing a mass rush of capital
00:12:19.140
into tangible assets, assets like farmland, like single family homes, which have tremendous
00:12:24.340
institutional participation, something that never happened before. Why? Because that smart money,
00:12:30.100
that smart institutional money wants protection against Biden's inflation. But the reality is,
00:12:35.500
even for folks who are doing well, and again, that's by definition, homebuyers,
00:12:39.400
even for folks who are doing well, they're not doing nearly well enough to keep pace,
00:12:44.500
to be able to afford the things that they want and need in their lives. Americans are getting poorer
00:12:50.320
every single day. We now have 17 months in a row of declining year over year, average wage,
00:12:58.380
real wage growth in the United States. These are the consequences of Joe Biden, and we see it
00:13:03.620
in the real estate market. So when you combine what Newell and many other consumer-facing companies tell us,
00:13:08.960
that they are seeing at the consumer level, when you combine that then with this data on real estate
00:13:14.040
and housing, the reality, unfortunately, for the consumer, for citizens in the United States,
00:13:19.120
is that they are in a financial vice right now. They are literally taking it from all sides. And
00:13:24.920
that's been with a job market, which up until now has been relatively healthy. But there are many signs
00:13:30.040
pointing to the job market deteriorating significantly in the coming months as this recession
00:13:36.340
intensifies. So these are the consequences. And again, as always, I don't bring all this data to
00:13:41.660
the forefront to depress the American people. I want the deplorables out there to be educated on
00:13:45.860
what's going on and to have a dispassionate view of the reality that they face. But I also
00:13:50.720
want it to motivate everybody, just as they should be motivated by what's happening to Steve Bannon today,
00:13:55.620
as they should be motivated by what is going on to Peter Navarro. All of this, the economics,
00:13:59.760
the unjust and politicized DOJ, all of this should be encouraging and motivating to take action,
00:14:06.380
because we have an election weeks away, and it is a fulcrum election. And we have to get these
00:14:11.880
America first candidates over the finish line. All right, Steve, when we come back at the break,
00:14:18.080
we're going to continue. I want to go beyond the consumer issue, look more at some of the
00:14:24.640
manufacturing side. Go look around the world, what's going on and what it means for us.
00:14:29.540
Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon. You're here in the war room where you hear news first.
00:14:37.180
To the end, just watch and see. It's all started. Everything's begun. And you are over.
00:14:45.800
Because we're taking down the CCP. Spread the word all through Hong Kong. We will fight till they're all gone.
00:14:54.640
We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CCP.
00:14:59.540
You know what's never good? When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely
00:15:05.860
misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation. Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen
00:15:12.060
has finally admitted, quote, there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy
00:15:17.280
that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly
00:15:22.780
that I didn't, at the time, fully understand. End quote. You know who understands the real threat
00:15:30.440
of inflation? People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group. They're protecting

That's the incendiary new book from former Trump trade czar Peter Navarro, available on Amazon today.
00:16:31.120
Stephen K. Bannon calls Taking Back Trump's America a brass-knuckled insider's account of
00:16:36.600
the merciless 2020 fall and miraculous 2024 rise of the White House of Trump. Taking Back Trump's
00:16:43.360
America is the blueprint for a new Trump White House that will truly make America great once again.
00:16:50.020
Order Taking Back Trump's America today on Amazon. Some of the workers at companies,
00:16:55.400
literally their last act at the factory was to unbolt the machine and load it up to be shipped off to
00:17:04.740
So, all right. So that was Tim Ryan. And that was a clip. I actually love that clip from the film
00:17:14.380
I did back in 2011 called Death by China. It's on YouTube. It's free. It was on Netflix for many
00:17:25.140
years. But here's the thing. I have a confession to make. I like Tim Ryan. At least I like him as an
00:17:34.560
individual and a person. And that's the problem here because I think there's going to be Ohioans
00:17:40.740
who view Tim Ryan as their favorite son and might be tempted to vote for him. And if you go back to
00:17:50.820
that rhetoric in Death by China, I mean, he literally was one of the first Democrats back in 2011 who was
00:18:00.060
banging on the Communist China taking our jobs and manufacturing base issue. I mean, that clip, it's like I
00:18:07.100
went to the factories where he talked about. They were burnt out shells where the machines literally had been
00:18:17.160
taken over to come into China. And a lot of the times, and this was like so kind of arrogant in
00:18:23.800
your face of the Chinese, they'd hire the workers there to come over to China for a few months and
00:18:33.160
teach them how to use the machines and then send them on their way. Okay. I mean, that's like, and Tim
00:18:38.260
Ryan, like he understood that at the time, but here's the problem now with Tim Ryan. He is somebody
00:18:48.260
who has so far lost his way that he doesn't even know what that way was to begin with. And the problem
00:18:55.500
started when he decided to run for president. I think he pulled like 1% of the vote when it was all done.
00:19:04.140
But, um, when you run for president and you're not kind of your, your values are not the values of
00:19:14.220
the Democrat party, you got a choice to make. You either stay true to who you are, the blue collar
00:19:21.020
pro manufacturing kind of guy, or you pivot and become just another politician with rhetoric. And
00:19:30.420
Tim Ryan during the presidential race decided to go left of Bernie Sanders on things like
00:19:37.300
cars and this, that, and the other thing. And now, I mean, look, it's, it's, uh, Bill Parcells,
00:19:45.980
the NFL coach, you are what your record says you are. And what Tim Ryan's record says he is,
00:19:55.280
is that he's simply a puppet of Chuck Schumer and the Democrats who voted for every single thing
00:20:04.640
that the Democrats wanted to do. You didn't see Tim Ryan pull, pull a, uh, a, a mansion,
00:20:11.880
Joe Manchin kind of play where for the good of his state, he held firm and maybe, maybe got something
00:20:19.440
for that. No, no, no, no, no. Ryan has been all in on the woke progressive agenda. And who better
00:20:27.020
to talk about that race with in Ohio between J.D. Vance, the Trump backed candidate, the MAGA candidate
00:20:35.920
versus Tim Ryan, the Schumer Pelosi progressive woke, then the guy we had on in the last segment,
00:20:44.680
and Cortez, who not, isn't just an economist, apparently he's also a political strategist for
00:20:50.740
J.D. Vance. Steve, um, wax, uh, more eloquent certainly than I was on this because you're right
00:20:57.360
there at the grassroots. Sure. What's going on with Tim Ryan and J.D. Vance right now? He's closer than
00:21:03.560
he should be. Tim Ryan is a political weather vane. And what I mean by that is he faces whichever way he
00:21:10.480
believes the political winds are blowing. And he often gets it wrong, by the way, regarding the
00:21:15.260
direction of the wind. But that's the reality because his populist rhetoric, his fake populist
00:21:20.520
rhetoric, it is as empty as the Ohio factories that he helped to destroy by supporting the Democratic
00:21:27.360
Party and Joe Biden, who is principally responsible, perhaps more than any other single American,
00:21:33.480
for what China has done to America broadly, but specifically to the industrial heartland
00:21:39.700
Midwest. Since Joe Biden, let's be specific with some numbers. Since Joe Biden, as a then
00:21:44.720
senator, was one of the principal and foremost architects and proponents of China joining the
00:21:49.800
WTO on terms that were incredibly generous to the junta in Beijing, to the Chinese Communist Party,
00:21:55.260
which was a bipartisan effort, by the way. George W. Bush, every bit as blameworthy as the Democrats.
00:22:01.200
But Biden, again, was at the forefront of that movement. And from that moment in 2001,
00:22:05.560
China and the WTO, until 2015, the state of Ohio lost 190,000 manufacturing jobs to China. And that
00:22:14.540
is according to the Economic Policy Institute, which is a left-leaning think tank. Almost 200,000
00:22:21.480
family-sustaining, high-paying manufacturing jobs in the Buckeye State lost. Okay? That's Joe Biden.
00:22:28.440
That's who he is. Now, who is Tim Ryan? Well, according to FiveThirtyEight, another left-leaning
00:22:33.520
organization, a poll and analytics organization, he votes 100% of the time in the U.S. House with
00:22:40.640
Joe Biden. Not 90%, not 98%, 100% of the time. So, listen, he talks a decent game. I'll give him
00:22:47.680
that. He talks a decent game when he's back in Ohio. But he's not going to fool the good citizens of
00:22:53.180
Ohio. And I'll tell you what just was unearthed. You alluded to it regarding Bernie Sanders and Tim
00:22:58.300
Ryan's run for president. Believe it or not, Tim Ryan believes that Bernie Sanders is not radical
00:23:05.040
enough when it comes to the Echo Green New Deal agenda of the left. Here's what he said. And let
00:23:11.680
me quote from Tim Ryan. This is Tim Ryan running for president. As you mentioned, his presidential
00:23:15.680
bid went nowhere. But he ran for president and tried to tack hard to the left. And this is his quote.
00:23:21.480
The way things are moving, Senator Sanders and I got into it in this debate a little bit. He was like
00:23:26.820
banning gas cars in 2040. In my mind, in all honesty, it's like, okay, great, whatever. But if
00:23:34.460
we're waiting for 2040 to get rid of gas vehicles, we're doing something terribly wrong. Tim Ryan,
00:23:41.640
Congressman Tim Ryan, let me say that last part again. If we're waiting for 2040 to get rid of gas
00:23:46.360
vehicles, we're doing something terribly wrong. So he is to the left of Bernie Sanders. That is not
00:23:54.100
remotely where Ohio is. And this is, this isn't a clip I pulled out from 20 years ago. Okay. This is
00:24:00.020
from just over two years ago, right? I mean, this is very contemporaneous. That's who Tim Ryan is. So
00:24:05.420
yes, does he speak like a populist when he's at a union hall in Ohio? Sure he does. But he goes to
00:24:10.100
Washington DC and he acts as a typical swamp creature. And he gets dutifully in line behind whatever
00:24:16.260
Biden and Schumer tell him to do. And when it comes to the echo radical green agenda, which right
00:24:21.680
now is wreaking havoc all over the world, he in fact is at the most leftist extreme of even the
00:24:29.320
Democratic Party as portrayed by his, as revealed by his very own word. Steve, what's the, um, what's
00:24:36.680
the debate schedule been like between, uh, Vance and Ryan? Have they gone head to head yet? And how's that
00:24:43.400
gone? No, they, they have not yet, but you know, listen, I certainly look forward to it.
00:24:47.680
One of the things about JD Vance, there's so much that I admire about him, but one of the things that
00:24:51.080
I most admire, uh, is compared to a lot of politicians, boy, does this guy do his homework?
00:24:55.500
I mean, he's as much a policy wonk as he is a politician. Now, most people who are policy wonks
00:25:00.240
don't have the personality to be politicians and vice versa, right? Most of the people who have the
00:25:04.760
politician personality don't have the, uh, the hustle and grit to do the policy work,
00:25:09.820
to do the homework. And so in JD Vance, I think you find this confluence of both. That's incredibly
00:25:14.740
impressive and very, very effective. Look, JD Vance had a really tough primary. Okay. And
00:25:19.280
tough primaries are good. They're good for our country. They're good for our movement. Uh,
00:25:23.260
that was a crowded primary full of a lot of money, full of some pretty compelling candidates. Now,
00:25:28.200
JD Vance was the most compelling, which is why I got behind him very early and why thankfully
00:25:32.000
president Trump saw in him such promise. And JD Vance will take nothing for granted. Ohio is a state
00:25:37.920
that certainly leans America first and leans red, but he's going to take nothing for granted. He's
00:25:42.280
going to hustle all the way through the finish line. And what I also would like to encourage folks
00:25:46.860
about is, uh, as much as I'm into JD Vance, as much as I admire and support him, this is a country
00:25:51.980
wide movement. We've got some incredible candidates, particularly for the Senate, all of whom are
00:25:56.600
America first, all of whom are young, uh, and most of whom are coming from the outside, meaning they had
00:26:02.400
not been involved in politics before, or they certainly haven't run for office before. So in a
00:26:06.600
difference, in addition to JD Vance, I'm talking about people like Katie Britt in Alabama, Blake
00:26:11.200
Masters in Arizona, Adam Laxalt in Nevada, Herschel Walker in Georgia. If we get that entire class of
00:26:18.600
freshman senators over the finish line, they are going to change the entire complexion of the U S
00:26:23.880
Senate because you know how that body works and a committed group of small America first patriotic
00:26:28.840
populace can change the whole dynamic. Go back to JD Vance real quick. Uh, Rob Portman,
00:26:35.020
who retired from that seat, uh, won that state by 20 points. The last time he ran as a Republican,
00:26:44.260
um, and that was before Trump turned Ohio is deep red. Has Portman endorsed?
00:26:52.140
Yes. Yes. He's, he's fully behind JD Vance and the Republican party has coalesced well, which is not an
00:26:59.360
easy task after a brutal primary, right? Uh, the Republican party has, has fully coalesced
00:27:05.140
McConnell finally, finally anteed up some money, which was good to see. Uh, we're hoping, um, that Mitch,
00:27:13.180
uh, does the same thing for Herschel Walker in Georgia, that, that race, I was talking to Barris earlier,
00:27:20.420
Richard Barris and, um, Herschel has, has taken the punches and now he's back close to even with Warnock.
00:27:27.640
He can take Warnock out if, uh, if he gets some help from Rhino world up there in, uh, in the swamp. Uh,
00:27:35.420
but it's always good to be with you, Steve. Um, I think we're going to see you later today, perhaps. Uh,
00:27:41.600
but tell us now what your, uh, social media coordinates are. No, wait, I know this. Steve on getter.
00:27:49.480
Pretty easy. You know, that's why they gave it to me. Because you got Bannon on that, baby. Right. Well, you got the
00:27:55.620
Steve first. Exactly. In part because, well, I'm a baller. Okay. And ballers get it, but it also, so that I can remember
00:28:01.600
it. So I'm just at Steve. I'm Cortez Steve on Twitter. Cortez with an ass. All right.
00:28:05.280
But you got to know, I got a little cloud at getter. So if you come on with a tie the next time,
00:28:09.860
you know, you might lose that Steve handle. You're jealous. Um, my brother, Cortez, you're the man.
00:28:17.880
We'll be right back. Peter K. Navarro in the war room. Russ Bout coming up. Russ, Russ Bout,
00:28:22.580
my former colleague. Americans are discovering that if we want to change this nation, we have to change the
00:28:28.300
way the marketplace works. Look, woke corporations are seeking to divide us. Big banks are freeing the
00:28:32.820
freezing the accounts of people who disagree with their political views. And our supply chain is
00:28:37.560
dependent upon countries that actively work against our values like the Chinese Communist Party.
00:28:43.420

00:30:18.000
Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon. I've got a great guest now. I'm going to bring in my
00:30:25.200
former colleague at the White House, Russ Vogt. Russ was the director of the Office of Management and Budget
00:30:36.160
at the White House, arguably the most powerful unknown position to many, but he did a great job
00:30:45.680
while he was there. What I'm going to ask Russ to do now for the posse is briefly summarize all of the
00:30:54.140
spending bills that have been queued up and passed by the Democrats and the Biden regime,
00:31:01.820
and then talk about the coming weeks and months about how Congress is going to have to pass some
00:31:11.620
debt ceiling raises and this, that, and the other thing. And the big question underlying all of this,
00:31:17.340
Russ, is going to be what should be the strategy of Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy to try to slow
00:31:24.800
that stagflationary bust down? So turn it right to you, Russ.
00:31:29.520
No, thank you, Peter. And it's very simple. There have not been the annual spending bills that fund
00:31:36.760
all of the bureaucracies that the American people interact with. Those have not been passed. And so
00:31:42.300
they are on the cusp of a deadline at the end of this month in which they're going to have to get
00:31:47.720
spending bills passed or do a continuing resolution to kick the can down the road. And what is vital,
00:31:54.560
absolutely vital, is that Republicans, and they have this authority to do this because they can
00:32:00.640
block it in the Senate, they cannot allow a lame duck where an omnibus bill would pass after the
00:32:07.920
election. And they cannot allow these full year appropriations bills to be passed. Why? Because
00:32:14.980
we need to have a cavalry come in the new year and have an ability to make these things and push back
00:32:22.900
using the leverage of the power of the purse to push back against the Biden administration on
00:32:28.280
everything from the wokeism that's infected the Department of Justice, what we deal with with
00:32:34.800
regard to the FBI, reforms to prevent the fact that they continue to bring in refugees who are
00:32:41.540
unvetted. There are a host of reforms. The wide open border that we see on a daily basis when they
00:32:48.400
have catch and release, there's a host of important priorities that have to be addressed in addition
00:32:54.280
to rolling back the spending. And some of the spending that can be rolled back is the $80 billion for
00:32:59.800
the IRS to have audits as far as the eye can see, $40 billion for the EPA to conduct criminal
00:33:06.800
investigations of people who build ponds on their ranch land in violation of the waters of the United
00:33:12.640
States. So you get a sense of we have very little in the minority, you don't have a lot of leverage
00:33:17.940
points to beat back against the administrative state. It is absolutely vital that Republicans in
00:33:24.240
the Senate do not allow a full year appropriations bill and allow the cavalry to arrive in January.
00:33:32.960
And this is a totally doable thing. Even if you're not as conservative as you and I, Peter, are, you're
00:33:38.280
not a watcher of the war room. You're just kind of a middle of the road Republican senator. This is
00:33:43.000
not, we're not calling for something that is ahistorical that's never been done. This is actually
00:33:47.960
pretty common at times. And so no lame duck. People should call their congressman, their senator in
00:33:53.920
particular, and say it is absolutely vital for you not to allow a lame duck where big spending can
00:33:59.220
occur or big spending before an election. All right. So let's, let's break some of this down
00:34:05.380
here. First of all, this, this lame duck omnibus bill. Um, I think what you're referring to there
00:34:13.980
is, uh, the possibility where they only have to have 50 votes, not two thirds for that. Am I got that
00:34:22.660
correct? No, the art, the beauty of this strategy is that they can't do this with 51 votes. They have
00:34:30.220
to pass normal spending bill, annual spending bill to be able to get the 60 votes. But the problem is
00:34:36.320
Republicans have given them those, those 10 votes that they need to overcome the filibuster. So that's
00:34:41.620
why, you know, Senate Republican leadership have the authority to be able to control this, to set this
00:34:48.240
up the way it's necessary for the cavalry to come. Is there any, um, is there any implicit, um, idea
00:34:56.980
here that in order for them to execute this strategy, Russ, they'd have to threaten to shut down the
00:35:01.780
government? And if so, how would that play before the election? I, is that part of the strategy?
00:35:09.900
It's, it's not in this case because, you know, if we were saying we need to have all of these policy
00:35:15.500
wins before the election, we need to get the administrative state under control right now,
00:35:22.000
then that's now an opportunity. That's, that's a possibility. But if you're saying, look, we, we
00:35:27.860
want to have the cavalry have an opportunity to come in January and get this thing under control,
00:35:34.280
or really to start to fight with the Biden administration with increased numbers,
00:35:38.060
all you're doing is saying, look, we're going to kick this can down the road a little bit. And what
00:35:43.580
is Congress good at? They're good at kicking the can down the road. And so this is why I say it's
00:35:49.340
not unprecedented for having these short-term, uh, extensions that sets you up to ensure that you
00:35:55.700
don't pass these a bloated spending bill now, where there's no fight right now to push on some of these
00:36:01.300
cultural battles. And we've got to make sure there's no lame duck. So no Senator can come to us and say,
00:36:07.820
Peter and Russ, you guys are pushing for a shutdown right before the election. No, we're not.
00:36:12.680
So are, okay, again, let me break this down. So I understand you're deep in the weeds on it.
00:36:20.220
What is the vote that has to be taken say over the next weeks or months for to, to initiate that? Is
00:36:28.980
that, are you pro extension or against the extension? I would do a short-term clean extension. If you can't
00:36:37.020
get any progress, you can't do any, any progress along of our priorities, uh, to prevent a long-term
00:36:43.420
deal, I would do a short clean extension into January, let the cavalry come. You want, the extension
00:36:49.880
has to go into January. The extension is of what? What's the extension of? Your, all of your federal
00:36:57.340
spending that you do on an annual basis. So you've got everything from the military to, uh, the department
00:37:05.200
of education, all of that within the foot on an annual basis, your non entitlements that are on
00:37:10.240
autopilot. So the idea is to get it extended into January. And then in January, be able to claw back
00:37:18.680
some of this stuff like the IRS, 80 billion. I didn't know the EPA was getting 40 billion. Are they
00:37:25.440
getting that upfront as well? Like the IRS? Yeah. Yeah. And they've got, uh, language in there that say
00:37:31.800
they want it to be pushed out the door in a number of, you know, two months. And now those,
00:37:36.800
those deadlines are hard to meet as you and I well know, but you know, they, they want to get this
00:37:41.920
money spent as quickly as possible. I mean, it, Ross, I, I don't, I don't know if you or I have ever
00:37:49.040
seen anything quite like this, where, where these dollars, these tax dollars are being weaponized by
00:37:56.360
agencies of government to go after people. I mean, you add, as I understand it, they're more than
00:38:03.200
doubling the amount of people working now at the IRS. At the same time, they're buying weapons
00:38:09.640
for the IRS. I mean, who are these people coming for? And, and the EPA, you're, you, yeah, it's
00:38:17.340
ranchers. I mean, have you ever seen anything like this? Who's behind that? I was kind of wondering,
00:38:21.860
like, who are the people who come up with this stuff? Cause it's so un-American and it's going
00:38:27.620
to just piss people off when these people start arresting people. Yeah. I think this is the thing
00:38:33.720
that's different about the age that you and I are living in. And you know, it very firsthand of
00:38:38.460
weaponized government is that we're not dealing with just kind of a budget cutting exercise here.
00:38:43.600
Uh, this, and we have a ton of fiscal irresponsibility and we need to get our house under control,
00:38:49.400
but we're dealing with woke and weaponized government. And it's two of those things.
00:38:55.860
It's wokeness with a particular viewpoint about how you're going to live your life. And is America
00:39:00.200
a good country? And are we going to level the entire country so that we can't ever have
00:39:04.320
exceptionalism within the American people or, and weaponized. And it's not just the FBI. It's not
00:39:11.060
just the department of justice. It's not just the national, the, the NSA surveilling our phones.
00:39:16.160
It is at the EPA. It is at the interior department that denies, intentionally denies
00:39:22.540
an important renewal of a license so that an oyster company shuts down. Drake's oyster company.
00:39:28.640
You have example after example of, of the administrative state weaponized against the
00:39:34.360
American people. And that's why I think we have a political shot at reining this in because people
00:39:39.320
feel it in their own life. You know, I, one of my deep regrets when, for our four years there at the
00:39:45.960
White House is that we weren't able to clean, uh, some of those career bureaucrats out of the
00:39:51.600
bureaucracy, uh, like we should, you know, they were just like hanging in the weeds, ready to rear
00:39:57.380
their ugly hood, uh, head once, once, uh, Biden, um, got back, uh, in, into the White House, uh, this time
00:40:06.540
as president. Um, is there any sense, Russ, of, um, remorse or realization of the strategic error?
00:40:16.680
Those, the, kind of the Lindsey Graham wing of the Senate, um, is about their acquiescence to the
00:40:24.660
Democrats. I mean, they clearly got outmaneuvered. Do they understand that yet?
00:40:29.000
Probably not. I, you know, the Senate does not have a governing strategy of using leverage points.
00:40:37.240
And that is a consensus that we are trying to build. One of the reasons our organization focuses
00:40:42.000
on these issues is you can't govern without leverage points and you can't govern and divide
00:40:47.480
a government without leverage points. If you don't use them, if you allow the debt limit to be kicked
00:40:51.680
into next year, which is when that expires and we're going to be prepared for that. If that's what
00:40:56.860
continues to happen, how all you do is vote and you vote in the minority and you give a speech,
00:41:02.740
but that's not what the American people vote you into office to do. They say with all of your might
00:41:08.340
lead this country and try to be Statesman with the leverage points that you have and to actually
00:41:14.240
change the direction of the river that's going right now downstream inexorably. See, that's what
00:41:20.980
puzzles me. I mean, I remember, I remember, um, in the early stage of the Trump administration,
00:41:26.600
listening to Mitch McConnell talk kind of behind closed doors and bragging about he was how disruptive
00:41:36.560
he was to Obama. And in Obama's book, he talks about how McConnell was able to continually slow
00:41:44.080
him down. Um, has Mitch lost the step? Um, has Mitch kind of just so anti-Trump that he's like
00:41:52.980
giving in to Democrats to the other, what's going on with McConnell, uh, Russ, cause clearly he doesn't
00:42:00.300
embrace our values at this point. Yeah. I think that Senate Republicans have a distaste for what
00:42:07.840
they view as political risk. And in Washington DC is a cartel in many respects and a cartel doesn't
00:42:15.620
want that risk. And so they will, uh, short the amount of policy objectives that they can accomplish
00:42:22.360
because they are, they're trying to get rid of the risk in the same way that business would.
00:42:27.920
And you and I, we come to Washington DC and we say, of course, we're going to have risks. That's what
00:42:33.080
politics is about. And we can manage that risk within accomplishing our objectives, but we have to
00:42:40.000
accomplish our objectives. And for, and unfortunately we have an institution in the United States Senate
00:42:45.540
that over a long period of time, and we're seeing great manifestations of it right now, tries to govern
00:42:51.820
without that risk and tries to not into ultimately short on what can be the art of the possible is. And
00:42:58.660
that's really why we're in the hold that we're in across the board and why we need additional folks
00:43:03.440
like J.D. Vance and Blake Masters to join their ranks and be able to seize these because one senator in the
00:43:09.600
United States Senate can change everything. And there's, there's a limit to what each one of them
00:43:14.240
can bear. My brother, quick, uh, 10 second social media. You are a patriot, sir. And you're absolutely

00:46:09.420
No leg irons, at least today. I want to talk a little bit about that and Stephen K. Bannon. But first,
00:46:21.220
Posse, Getter. Getter is the Twitter killer. If you're not on Getter, please check it out. If you do
00:46:28.160
social media, if you do Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, let's like check Getter out. Getter does
00:46:35.520
everything that Twitter does. Plus, it's got really cool features, particularly the live stream. And
00:46:43.540
it's a more elegant platform. And what I've done is I have a Getter account. It's Real P. Navarro.
00:46:51.600
Same on Twitter, Real P. Navarro. And if you follow me at all, you'll notice that I always post
00:46:58.280
the same content at the same time on Getter and Twitter. And what I've noticed consistently
00:47:08.040
is that Getter gets consistently greater social engagement. And whenever I put on anything,
00:47:19.260
which might give even a whiff of whatever to the Twitch sensors, I notice kind of a dramatic
00:47:26.120
reduction in engagement on Twitter. And it's like what their algorithms do. And we learned
00:47:32.920
this yet again when Zuckerberg did his Facebook interview with Joe Rogan. And they were talking
00:47:42.000
about how they suppressed the laptop from hell. Real information that the command of the FBI,
00:47:50.400
they said they do it with an algorithm. What they do is whatever is like should be up at the top,
00:47:58.080
they push it down. Right. So in my case, just last week, I tweeted an article from the Washington
00:48:07.780
Times, right, that Stephen Hathaway and I did on hydroxychloroquine. Hydroxychloroquine could have
00:48:14.580
saved anywhere from 570,000 to 810,000 lives of the million Americans who died. That's just a fact
00:48:24.340
based on the latest scientific evidence from over almost a half a million subjects in 51 countries.
00:48:33.700
Okay. 57% to 81% possible reduction in mortality rate, hydroxychloroquine in early treatment use. So I
00:48:42.420
put that up on Twitter and Getter. And of course, they didn't take it off. Okay. But they suppressed
00:48:52.580
the information. You can't let them do that to you on Facebook and Twitter. You got to do alternatives,
00:48:59.300
whether it's Getter or Truth Social or both. I mean, hedge your bets here, folks. And Getter,
00:49:06.740
for me, is the Twitter killer. And that's the one that I spend most of my time on. That's the one
00:49:12.420
that Stephen K. Bannon spends all of his time on. He posts very frequently on Getter. So check it out,
00:49:22.420
the Getter site. The other thing you saw come leading in was the ad for the Taking Back Trump's
00:49:32.740
America book. That's real. They put me in leg irons. They strip searched me. During my White House years,
00:49:42.020
for four straight years, I've only been accused of saving lives and creating jobs. Yet I wound up in
00:49:48.340
leg irons. The Taking Back Trump's America book is a really important watershed here for this country
00:49:56.820
in this upcoming election. Taking Back Trump's America, it's going to be officially out on September
00:50:05.300
20th. But the name of the game here, Posse, if you haven't ordered it yet on Amazon, please do that
00:50:13.140
today. Do that right now. Send a copy to your friend. Get the audio edition. And the reason why
00:50:22.180
is threefold. One, it's a blueprint and battle cry for taking back the Trump White House in 2024.
00:50:30.580
Check that box. Number two, and this is the most important thing. This is the canon of Steve Bannon.
00:50:37.620
We have to take back Trump's America by taking back the House of Representatives from Nancy Pelosi
00:50:45.700
as Speaker so they can stop them from weaponizing unconstitutionally the investigatory powers of
00:50:53.620
Congress. We can't let them do that anymore. Pelosi and Schiff and Raskin and Luria,
00:50:59.220
and they've been doing that since 2018, trying to impeach Trump, get him out of office, coup d'etat,
00:51:08.260
and oh, by the way, putting both me and Steve Bannon in leg irons as part of their weaponization.
00:51:15.860
Okay? We have to do that. And look, this is a critical time in our nation's history. We've seen
00:51:27.300
through the arc of the Trump candidacy, presidency, and post-presidency, first a preemptive attempted coup
00:51:37.940
by the FBI and the Democrats with the fully discredited Russia hoax. The whole purpose of that
00:51:45.540
was to make Trump lose the election throughout his four years as they put Trump people in prison
00:51:53.860
or made them spend a bunch of money like Mike Flynn and got them out of the Trump administration.
00:51:59.620
And then they had the successful coup. I mean, let's say this, the FBI engineered a successful
00:52:08.500
coup of the Trump White House in the 2020 election. Okay? Why do I say that? Because they suppressed
00:52:15.540
that laptop from hell misinformation about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and the Biden crime family. If
00:52:23.380
people had known that in America, Trump would still be in the Oval Office today. We wouldn't
00:52:28.820
have all this stuff going on. And now another preemptive coup by trying to stop Trump from
00:52:36.340
running and Stephen K. Bannon, Stephen K. Bannon from spreading the gospel of MAGA and populist economic
00:52:46.740
nationalism to this country. If Democrats fear him, that's why I'm here today, not Stephen K. Bannon.
00:52:54.660
But posse, we got to support Steve. Action, action, action. We'll see you in the five o'clock
