00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies.
00:00:09.000 That go to share the big line?
00:00:27.000 Mega Media.
00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:33.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:00:53.000 Hey, Peter K. Navarro in here.
00:00:55.000 It's the dog that didn't bark for the first two days of the DNC convention.
00:01:03.000 What was that dog that didn't bark foreign policy?
00:01:07.000 Not one mention of Gaza, Ukraine, Russia.
00:01:11.000 They had five Jewish Americans on last night and they weren't even allowed to say Israel.
00:01:19.000 I am delighted to have one of the great minds of the Trump administration with us this morning, Rick Grinnell, on foreign policy.
00:01:30.000 Before we get started though, Rick did a beautiful chapter in my book, The New Maga Deal.
00:01:39.000 Newmagadeal.com, you can check it out.
00:01:41.000 But what I want to do to introduce Rick, because this is just pure Trump poetry, is just read briefly this passage real quick about the Trump America First policy doctrine.
00:01:57.000 So the Trump America First doctrine forces policymakers to be clear eyed to see the world as it is, not as they think it ought to be.
00:02:08.000 When our rhetoric surpasses our resources, when our policy exceeds our capabilities, when our expectations cloud our judgment, and when our desire to remake the world overtakes our duty to the American voter, that is when you get pointless and costly wars.
00:02:27.000 That is when you send America's sons and daughters into harm's way without a plan for what comes next.
00:02:34.000 That is when you make disastrous trade deals and sign dangerous nuclear agreements.
00:02:39.000 That is when you get massive inequality and a divided society.
00:02:45.000 That is when you get an immoral foreign policy.
00:02:49.000 And that is Rick Grinnell at his absolutely most eloquent.
00:02:55.000 Let's see if we can bring my brother Rick in.
00:02:59.000 Rick, that's pure poetry, my friend.
00:03:02.000 You outdid yourself on that.
00:03:04.000 What I wanted to do with you this morning for the War Room is to talk broadly about the American First policy doctrine, which you were along with the president or the architect of.
00:03:16.000 And then just work through the hot spots of the world and get your take on the difference between Kamala and Donald Trump on these things.
00:03:24.000 So welcome, sir, to the War Room.
00:03:26.000 Tell us about the Trump American First doctrine first, brother.
00:03:30.000 Well, thanks for having me, Peter.
00:03:32.000 So great to see you thriving and fighting.
00:03:37.000 We really appreciate everything that you've done for this movement.
00:03:41.000 I'm glad you read that that passage.
00:03:44.000 And I'm glad that you reached out and asked me to write this, because I do think that the media misses the intellectualism of America first.
00:03:54.000 They dismiss us as, you know, not well thought out and kind of a selfish foreign policy.
00:04:00.000 And I think it's quite the opposite.
00:04:02.000 When America puts itself first, the entire world benefits.
00:04:05.000 And I speak to world leaders pretty regularly.
00:04:08.000 I just got back from a eight day trip and saw several world leaders.
00:04:14.000 And the reality is, is that they will tell us that the world was much better off when Donald Trump was in office because the rule of law was established.
00:04:25.000 You had a respect for democracy, capitalism, all of those global rules.
00:04:30.000 When America puts itself first, everyone else benefits.
00:04:34.000 And we need a rules based system that is not based on selfish exploits.
00:04:40.000 The United States of America does not go out and conquer other nations.
00:04:47.000 One part of that passage that I think is the most poignant is talking about our rhetoric versus our resources.
00:04:55.000 When Washington, D.C. becomes bloviating about what the world should be.
00:05:03.000 And we don't have the capabilities to do a long and sustained effort and strategy to make that a reality.
00:05:11.000 Then we're duping the American people.
00:05:14.000 We have a thirty five trillion dollar national debt.
00:05:16.000 And we're talking about two more wars under the Kamala Harris, Joe Biden regime.
00:05:22.000 Europe right now is on fire with a war.
00:05:25.000 The Middle East is on fire. 0.91
00:05:27.000 And I can paint both of these wars directly back to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris first in Ukraine.
00:05:35.000 A lot of people talk about Putin watching Afghanistan roll out as a disaster.
00:05:41.000 And part of the reason that he decided that Putin decided to go into Ukraine.
00:05:46.000 I actually think it was much earlier than that.
00:05:49.000 We in the Trump administration decided to put sanctions on Putin's pipeline, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
00:05:57.000 This was Donald Trump's vision.
00:05:59.000 I saw President Trump and Chancellor Merkel talk about this issue.
00:06:04.000 President Trump was very forceful to say this Russian pipeline into Europe is a really bad idea, Chancellor.
00:06:12.000 And she defended it by saying, well, Donald, you don't understand Germany's relationship with with Russia.
00:06:20.000 We can control Russia. 0.94
00:06:22.000 So she lobbied us to drop the sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 Putin pipeline.
00:06:27.000 We said no.
00:06:29.000 When Biden came in, she lobbied Biden and Biden said yes.
00:06:32.000 And the Senate Democrats dropped the sanctions on Putin's pipeline.
00:06:37.000 That was the moment where President Putin said, you know what, I can go back in.
00:06:43.000 This this crowd is really weak.
00:06:45.000 And that's when he started planning.
00:06:48.000 I think Afghanistan was the second point to show Putin just how weak this team was.
00:06:54.000 If you go back and I keep trying to get reporters to go back and look at the Senate Democrats on the Senate floor talking about dropping the Nord Stream 2 sanctions,
00:07:06.000 it's frightening their analysis.
00:07:09.000 They say we must drop the sanctions on Putin because otherwise there's going to be a war.
00:07:15.000 We're going to stick it in his eye.
00:07:16.000 This is something that doesn't need to happen because this pipeline is almost done anyway, and it's going to be done.
00:07:23.000 Well, guess what?
00:07:24.000 The Wall Street Journal reported that the Ukrainians blew up the pipeline.
00:07:29.000 I don't think it's too much to say that the first act of war was from Ukraine by blowing up the pipeline.
00:07:37.000 And we we see the Europeans headed by Chancellor Merkel, who completely misjudged the Russians and the Russian strategy and Putin's offense.
00:07:48.000 You ask yourself, why did Putin invade under Donald Trump?
00:07:53.000 Because he realizes that there is a credible threat from Donald Trump, maybe not just military action, but certainly sanctions, tariffs, ruining of the economy.
00:08:05.000 Donald Trump is very credible on these issues.
00:08:09.000 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not credible.
00:08:12.000 And that's why Putin endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for reelection when he said very specifically, I want predictability from the Americans.
00:08:23.000 This team is predictable.
00:08:25.000 Now, the media are ignoring that they're not reporting that.
00:08:28.000 But the reality, too, is that Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin have not spoken in more than three years.
00:08:39.000 We have an unfolding, massive war in Europe, billions and billions of dollars of American taxpayer money going to this war.
00:08:49.000 And Joe Biden hasn't picked up the phone to talk to Vladimir Putin.
00:08:53.000 Talking is a tactic, Peter.
00:08:55.000 It's not the goal, but it is a tactic to get to peace.
00:09:00.000 And you mentioned this idea of a stable policy that Putin wants.
00:09:08.000 Uncertainty heightens risk, and risk will deter folks like Putin.
00:09:15.000 I think that that's the central idea that communist Chinese love that in their policy.
00:09:20.000 They love to have us not know exactly what they're doing in the South China Sea.
00:09:25.000 And that keeps us us back.
00:09:27.000 And Putin knows that Biden's very particular.
00:09:30.000 But, Rick, you mentioned Afghanistan just in passing.
00:09:34.000 Can you just go recall exactly the disaster that was Afghanistan that sent the weak signal to to Putin? 0.58
00:09:44.000 Look, I was inside the Oval Office many times when President Trump was very frustrated that we weren't going fast enough winding down Afghanistan troops.
00:09:57.000 And it was clear he wanted it to come to an end.
00:10:04.000 And he was pushing the Pentagon.
00:10:06.000 But, you know, Peter, you know this about President Trump.
00:10:09.000 When generals on the ground forcefully push back and say, we get your goal, Mr. President, and we're achieving it and we're going in that direction.
00:10:20.000 But right now we can't go too fast because of the safety concerns and the collapse.
00:10:26.000 And so they would push back on President Trump and say, go, we have to go a little slower.
00:10:32.000 We're getting there.
00:10:33.000 President Trump was very annoyed with the pace.
00:10:37.000 He wanted it to go faster.
00:10:39.000 But here's the clincher.
00:10:41.000 He listened to the people on the ground who said, slow down, take it down and keep going down every couple of months.
00:10:52.000 But let's do it in a controlled way.
00:10:54.000 And President Trump agreed with that advice and that pushback.
00:10:58.000 Joe Biden didn't.
00:11:00.000 Joe Biden heard from the same generals to say, slow down.
00:11:04.000 And he said, no, I want to be out by 9-11 for a political ribbon cutting ceremony.
00:11:10.000 He didn't listen to those on the ground.
00:11:13.000 He instead let politics go overboard and determine our Middle East policy.
00:11:21.000 We have people who are concerned about Michigan, Pennsylvania on the Democratic side, the campaign officials who are determining foreign policy right now because that's how they stay in power.
00:11:34.000 And it's really a terrible thing.
00:11:37.000 And it's something that President Trump never did.
00:11:40.000 Rick, when you were in with the president, was there ever any discussion to abandon Bagram Air Force Base?
00:11:51.000 It seems to me that there were two catastrophes with the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
00:11:56.000 It was the the butchery of American troops that just I mean, it was just so horrible what happened.
00:12:04.000 But strategically, to allow Bagram to fall into the hands of those folks?
00:12:13.000 I mean, talk to me without violating your security clearance.
00:12:19.000 I mean, was that ever discussed?
00:12:21.000 I mean, come on.
00:12:22.000 Yeah.
00:12:23.000 Look, President Trump was very clear about what needed to happen.
00:12:27.000 I heard him say we need to get all of the equipment out.
00:12:32.000 And if we can't get the equipment out, then we should disable it or destroy it because we're not going to leave it behind for the Taliban and others to take it or sell it or use it. 0.99
00:12:47.000 And President Trump was was so detailed on this issue.
00:12:52.000 I remember him in the Oval Office talking about the large tents that we bought and purchased.
00:13:02.000 He knew exactly what those tents cost and he knew exactly what they look like.
00:13:07.000 And he said, those are very useful tents.
00:13:12.000 Bring them home.
00:13:13.000 But they weren't really tents.
00:13:15.000 They were like buildings.
00:13:16.000 And so he get very specific about the base, about the landing strip that we built.
00:13:23.000 And if we didn't take it back or hold it, then it should be destroyed so that it could not be used.
00:13:30.000 He was very clear.
00:13:31.000 I mean, to give them all of that equipment and one of the best landing strips in the world, it seems just quintessential by Paris.
00:13:45.000 And what's frightening to me, Rick, about about Harris is I can't think of a single presidential candidate, a major president who has less foreign policy experience than Kamala Harris.
00:14:02.000 I mean, it defies the imagination.
00:14:04.000 I mean, the only world leader she seems to have any relationship with is Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:14:10.000 And all she wants to do is insult, insult the guy.
00:14:13.000 Rick, when we come back from the break, I want to shift from Putin, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and get your analysis of the Gaza, Israeli, Iran hat trick there that threatens us literally with world war at this point because of the weakness of Kamala Harris, inexperience, and Joe Biden.
00:14:40.000 So, Rick, stay right there.
00:14:43.000 We'll be right back.
00:14:44.000 You are in Steve Bannon's War Room.
00:14:45.000 I am Peter K. Navarro with the great Rick Grinnell.
00:14:49.000 The elites are getting desperate.
00:15:01.820 They now want to use the technology behind Bitcoin for their own Orwellian purposes, their gold to dominate our economy by forcing everyone to use central bank digital currencies, which they control.
00:15:13.520 Imagine your every purchase being called into question, your every move tracked, like you live in a communist country. 0.87

00:17:31.700 Bannon, 989898.
00:17:35.000 All right.
00:17:36.340 Rick Grinnell.
00:17:37.060 We were talking about Trump first policy doctrine and foreign policy.
00:17:44.320 I noted the total absence, the total absence of any discussion of foreign policies in the first two days.
00:17:50.840 And five Jewish Americans, including a rabbi, on stage last night and not one mention of Israel.
00:18:00.860 Gaza's on fire.
00:18:02.340 My view is you can't leave Gaza until all the tunnels are destroyed.
00:18:08.060 Iran's shooting missiles at bases that are hosted by the Americans, killing Americans.
00:18:16.800 You got Hamas. 0.88
00:18:17.760 You got Hezbollah. 0.85
00:18:18.780 What would be different under Trump?
00:18:21.420 What is Biden-Harris doing wrong, sir?
00:18:24.420 Well, look, this is day 319 of having Americans held hostage in Gaza.
00:18:30.220 And all this administration between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can talk about is a ceasefire.
00:18:36.380 Now, look, a ceasefire is an admission that you had a war, that you failed to keep the peace that Donald Trump handed you.
00:18:46.640 And so I say to my Arab-American friends in Michigan and in Arizona, where we're really trying to push Donald Trump, I say to them, you know, you have to remember two things.
00:19:01.300 And we have these top two messages, Peter, that we say to the evangelicals in America, to the pro-Israel Jewish Americans in America, and to Arab-Americans throughout this country.
00:19:16.540 We say the same two talking points, unlike the Democrats who have to change their talking points according to who they're talking to.
00:19:24.960 But our two points that President Trump is very proud of are simple.
00:19:30.400 One is you would not have war.
00:19:33.960 You'd have more Arab-Israeli peace agreements under Donald Trump.
00:19:38.000 And two, what do you expect when you fund Iran?
00:19:43.100 We had Iran squeezed. 0.84
00:19:45.180 We had Iran isolated. 0.73
00:19:47.440 And make no mistake, the Democrats thought that we were being too harsh on Iran.
00:19:52.060 They mocked President Trump, they mocked me, the media mocked us, for going out front and saying that no company should be doing business with Iran.
00:20:02.280 We were squeezing them.
00:20:04.620 We were bankrupting them.
00:20:06.540 We were isolating them.
00:20:08.420 We were making them a pariah of the international community. 1.00
00:20:12.620 With lots of pushback from Democrats to say we were mean-spirited.
00:20:16.380 But guess what?
00:20:17.720 It worked.
00:20:18.360 We were able to deny Iran the funding that they needed to launch any wars. 0.94
00:20:24.460 Joe Biden came in, and one of the first things he did was try to get us back into the Iran deal.
00:20:30.980 He got rid of the Trump sanctions on Iran.
00:20:34.160 He gave them cash and credit.
00:20:37.020 So when you combine the sanctions relief, the cash and the credit, it's hundreds of billions of dollars given to the Islamic regime in Tehran.
00:20:46.400 What do you expect?
00:20:47.660 What did they do with that money?
00:20:50.200 Every basic foreign policy person would tell you that they would fund the Houthis, they would fund Hamas, and they would fund Hezbollah.
00:20:58.820 They did all three.
00:21:00.220 And they created the funding mechanism to launch October 7th.
00:21:05.500 So now we find ourselves 319 days later, Anthony Blinken has completely been shoved off the stage.
00:21:13.420 He can't come up with a peace deal to save his life.
00:21:16.500 Kamala Harris barely knows where the Middle East is.
00:21:19.040 And Joe Biden is asleep.
00:21:21.020 We literally have no one pushing peace deals.
00:21:23.640 And the only thing that the media will ask a politician right now is, are you for more funding for the war or are you not for more funding the war?
00:21:33.880 It's all war talk in Washington, D.C.
00:21:36.520 It's war, more war, more funding for war.
00:21:40.620 I think that it's outrageous.
00:21:42.740 We need to have a peace agreement.
00:21:44.940 And you need to have the State Department at the table, not just the Pentagon.
00:21:48.740 See, the genius here, Posse, of Rick Grinnell, is he's identified the root source of the problem.
00:21:58.080 It's Iran as the poison that provides the funding and the weapons and run them through. 1.00
00:22:07.600 It's Hamas in Gaza. 0.67
00:22:09.360 It's Hezbollah in Lebanon.
00:22:11.140 It's the Houthis in Yemen, all engaged in the destruction of Israel and attacks on American military personnel.
00:22:24.280 And, Rick, for the life of me, I've never understood kind of the John Kerry, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden mentality of cozying up to Iran.
00:22:37.860 I mean, I'm old enough to remember Jimmy Carter and the embassy and the first hostages that Iran took.
00:22:47.360 What is the pulse in the Democrat Party?
00:22:51.060 Are they simply trying to kowtow and cater to an Arab community that I think you rightly said would be much more responsive to a Trump message of peace in the Abraham Accords and all of that?
00:23:06.920 What the hell is going on with these people?
00:23:11.080 How is Iran?
00:23:12.960 How do we, the U.S. government, give billions to them?
00:23:16.680 I don't get it.
00:23:18.340 Well, it's a naive belief that somehow Barack Obama's words are going to change the radical regime in Tehran.
00:23:26.900 Let's go back to a couple of things.
00:23:29.180 One, it's the rhetoric over the resources.
00:23:34.320 And this is a lofty rhetoric of believing that somehow we can convince people through our words.
00:23:41.860 This stems from Barack Obama.
00:23:43.880 What you did not hear from Barack Obama last night is any analysis or apology about his cozying up to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. 0.89
00:23:52.620 Much of our problems in the Middle East resulted around Barack Obama's failure in Egypt and then his cozying up to Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
00:24:04.000 Remember, it was Assad in Syria who started to gas his people and the world saw it.
00:24:10.840 The U.N. even issued a report saying, yep, Assad gassed his own people, used chemical weapons on his own people.
00:24:19.140 Barack Obama beat his chest and said, if we found proof, then we would stop that.
00:24:23.760 That's the red line that he would cross and we would act.
00:24:27.240 There were multiple reports showing that Assad did it.
00:24:31.120 The U.N. six months later issued a report, as I said.
00:24:34.580 The U.N. coming around way later to say, yep, he did it.
00:24:39.040 And still Barack Obama didn't do anything.
00:24:41.680 Do you know that Assad is still in power in Syria?
00:24:44.860 And between the Russians who are all over Syria and the Iranians all over Syria, we have another failed country that we don't talk about enough. 0.97
00:24:55.540 And that directly is at the feet of Barack Obama.
00:24:58.420 Now you add the Obama-Biden-Harris belief that Iran can be talked out of a nuclear weapon.
00:25:07.000 And it's total naivete.
00:25:09.820 It is a disaster.
00:25:11.840 But we don't have an interest in media.
00:25:13.800 National security reporters in Washington, D.C., just regurgitate what the left says.
00:25:19.460 And they're not skeptical enough to say, wow, you look at Egypt, you look at Syria, you look at Iran.
00:25:25.780 And this didn't work.
00:25:27.040 This whole naive theory from Obama to Biden to Kamala Harris, this is the woke left.
00:25:36.760 And they are making us less safe.
00:25:39.760 That's why we have multiple wars.
00:25:41.180 And I'd be remiss here in not pointing out that when we have all of these multiple wars, it does come home to roost in the sense of if we look at our border crisis, which Kamala Harris refused to do anything about,
00:25:56.900 a lot of the flow coming over across our southern border and sometimes our northern border is refugees from the wars that Kamala and Joe started.
00:26:08.700 And I'm wondering how we should handle that.
00:26:13.660 I mean, am I wrong about that?
00:26:16.680 Europe's got the same problem.
00:26:18.280 They're taking all the refugees, and it's creating instability in Europe. 0.97
00:26:23.620 It's creating terrorist threats here.
00:26:26.440 Thoughts?
00:26:27.040 Well, first of all, the EU, the European Union, became smaller and less powerful because they couldn't deal with their immigration crisis.
00:26:37.360 Chancellor Merkel lost her job.
00:26:39.580 And the British said, we're out of the EU because she couldn't come up with a rules-based system.
00:26:48.360 Her rhetoric became bigger than her resources. 0.93
00:26:52.380 And that's a real problem.
00:26:54.680 Europe is still suffering over that.
00:26:56.700 We should learn the lessons of Brexit and a smaller, less powerful EU simply because they couldn't get a handle around immigration.
00:27:06.140 I think that we're in a crisis here, but I can also bring it down to the American people a little bit differently.
00:27:13.900 When you spend billions of dollars for other people's borders and wars overseas,
00:27:20.120 you then therefore do not have money to take care of the veterans or to give money to schools that are in need of repair
00:27:29.720 or to invest in health care, technology, all of the things that make us a great country,
00:27:36.460 we aren't able to invest in at the proper levels simply because we're sending billions of dollars to Ukraine and to fight foreigners. 0.98
00:27:47.860 Okay, we will be right back with Rick Grinnell.
00:27:50.700 Now we're going to go to one other part of the globe that Kamala Harris knows nothing about and Joe Biden screwing up.
00:27:57.000 That would be the South China Sea in communist China.

00:29:17.840 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:20.480 Hey, Peter K. Navarro here in the War Room with Rick Grinnell.
00:29:28.480 He does a beautiful chapter in the New Maga Deal, newmagadeal.com.
00:29:34.300 To me, it was one of the keystone chapters of the book because it lays out in just really beautiful detail the America First foreign policy doctrine.
00:29:45.620 We've gone from Russia, Ukraine to Gaza, Iran.
00:29:51.080 Now let's finish up, Rick.
00:29:52.340 We've got communist China building missiles, boats, carriers, subs, threatening Taiwan.
00:30:03.000 What's your take on the current state of play in the South China Sea and how the inexperience of Kamala Harris and the mistakes of Biden have encouraged the communist Chinese like Russia? 0.82
00:30:15.800 You know, Peter, I know you know this, but I spent eight years inside the UN Security Council at the UN as the top political advisor to four different ambassadors.
00:30:28.380 And if you think about eight years at the UN where there's 193 countries maneuvering and you cover every single foreign policy issue, my eight years taught me a whole bunch.
00:30:40.800 And one thing that I learned is that the mistake of the U.S. foreign policy is when you allow Russia and China to come together.
00:30:49.420 And the basics are that they don't like each other.
00:30:54.820 They don't have the same negotiating styles.
00:30:56.960 They don't maximize the same things.
00:31:00.280 And so we have to be very strategic about making sure that Russia and China are not collaborating together against the West, against the United States.
00:31:09.960 And this to me is one of the fundamental flaws of the Biden team and Anthony Blinken.
00:31:15.740 They just don't understand the basics of how to do that.
00:31:18.160 Jake Sullivan is really good as an academic and a thinker, but he's terrible at actually doing practical foreign policy.
00:31:29.860 He's crippled when there's different actions on the ground that he didn't anticipate in his white paper.
00:31:37.540 And so I don't think we should ever have an academic to be a national security advisor ever again.
00:31:43.080 It's been a disaster.
00:31:44.060 And for the China portfolio, this has never been more clear.
00:31:51.400 China loves the fact that we are out distracted by a war in the Middle East and a war in Europe.
00:32:01.760 Meanwhile, they're out doing exactly what they want to do.
00:32:04.960 And it's all about the economy.
00:32:06.680 It's growing their economy.
00:32:08.040 They've got the Germans over a barrel with cars. 1.00
00:32:12.500 They continue on their supply chain takeover.
00:32:17.660 And they're threatening Taiwan.
00:32:20.920 And there's not much that this Biden-Harris-Blinken team is doing about it because they're so distracted.
00:32:29.420 And so what we need to do is we need to have Donald Trump come back and give them some competition.
00:32:33.640 You were a huge part of making sure that China felt the competition.
00:32:39.220 And for me, that means continuing on the path of befriending and having better policies with India.
00:32:48.820 I would put Turkey in there, a NATO ally since 1952.
00:32:53.420 We need to have better economic relations with Turkey, which will only help us really blunt what's happening with the Chinese. 1.00
00:33:01.040 I'd also put the Philippines in there, Indonesia, Singapore.
00:33:06.120 There are many countries that we can grow our relations with, grow our trade policy with, that will also put the Chinese back on their feet. 0.98
00:33:17.480 And lastly, I think we just got to think strategically about why we let the Chinese into the WTO more than 20 years ago. 0.50
00:33:26.560 We thought Bill Clinton's articulation was that if we let the Chinese into the WTO, that they would move closer to a Western belief on democracy, capitalism and human rights.
00:33:39.780 And by all practical purposes, it's gotten worse.
00:33:43.620 Ever since we allowed the Chinese into the WTO, the situation in China has gotten worse. 1.00
00:33:50.440 And let me just finish with one thought is that the Chinese have a real problem with the poor people in China and the middle class.
00:34:00.520 They don't have enough information, the middle class, I call the Beijing soccer moms. 1.00
00:34:08.140 They don't have enough information about what their government is actually doing to their children.
00:34:12.200 For instance, with terrible environmental laws, many children have asthma.
00:34:19.840 And if the soccer moms in Beijing realize that their child has asthma because of poor environmental laws, they're going to get angry. 0.92
00:34:30.440 So we need to have an information war to really bring down this idea that the Chinese are controlling information to their people.
00:34:38.560 And we need to pressure the United Nations that they can't be allowing the Chinese to pretend that they're a global power with a veto at the Security Council. 0.90
00:34:52.040 Well, also at the same time, leading the G77 countries as developing nations and taking money from UNICEF and World Food Program and other UN programs because they're a developing nation.
00:35:07.260 They're playing us.
00:35:08.360 They're a superpower and they're a developing nation.
00:35:10.640 They're getting money from the UN while also vetoing any policies at the UN.
00:35:15.780 It's unacceptable and we have to do a better job.
00:35:18.360 And Rick, one of those frightening things I ever saw, I went over to Geneva during the administration to negotiate a new postal agreement, basically, that stopped us from giving a bunch of money to China subsidizing the postal rights.
00:35:36.500 It was very helpful.
00:35:37.260 But what was frightening was how big a mission they have in Geneva for the world, WTO, first of all, but also all these United Nations organizations they basically now control.
00:35:52.940 I mean, and we don't do any of that kind of soft power stuff.
00:35:56.620 The last thing, just in a minute, can you explain your comment about Germany being over a barrel on cars so people understand that relationship?
00:36:07.780 I think because that's an important one.
00:36:10.460 Well, just real quickly, when you and President Trump were squeezing China and trying to bring the world together to squeeze them,
00:36:17.260 if you remember, Chancellor Merkel had announced that she was going to take 10 CEOs from Germany over to Beijing to sign agreements.
00:36:25.400 Most of those were car companies to expand.
00:36:28.820 I pushed Chancellor Merkel to say, now is not the time for our ally, Germany, to be going around our strategy of squeezing China.
00:36:38.160 The world is starting to squeeze China. 0.97
00:36:39.820 Why are you going in and signing deals?
00:36:43.040 And you know what her response was to me?
00:36:45.800 But, Ambassador, we've planned this trip for more than a year.
00:36:50.660 That was your trip.
00:36:51.800 I mean, you know, the German way, once we plan something, we can't go off.
00:36:58.440 It's already planned.
00:37:00.660 I'll leave you with a funny story.
00:37:02.340 I was in the East Wing when Merkel showed up for a dinner, and I was invited to the thing.
00:37:12.100 And she's walking down with Trump past all of us, and Trump points to me and goes, yeah, that's Peter Navarro.
00:37:21.900 And she went, like this.
00:37:25.860 Because she didn't like our trade policies, I think was the point. 1.00
00:37:29.540 Rick, you are a patriot, you're a great American hero, and your kind of expertise is what we need in 2025 and what we don't have with Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and the clown show otherwise known as that administration.
00:37:51.560 And it was interesting to me to see on the stage Barack Obama, Bill Clinton.
00:37:59.080 I mean, these are people who got us into all the endless wars and the mess, and Bill Clinton got us into the WTO.
00:38:06.840 There's no institutional memory.
00:38:08.520 It's our job to remind people about that.
00:38:10.800 Rick, safe travels, brother.
00:38:12.280 You're doing the Lord's work, and we appreciate that.
00:38:15.520 And thanks again for your contribution in the new MAGA deal, brother.
00:38:19.820 Thank you.
00:38:20.200 All right, that's Rick Crudell.
00:38:22.420 You take care, man.
00:38:26.260 Boy, unpack that.
00:38:28.120 In fact, if you've got that podcast thing up there for me, Control Room, I want you to put that graphic up now.
00:38:38.600 Well, what we need to do, War Room Posse, is to, when you don't have time to watch the show live, obviously, you can get it on Memorex, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts.
00:38:58.740 But we're going to show you how to do that in this show, and we're going to have a graphic, a way you can scan it.
00:39:07.220 And I'm stalling here a little bit, hoping Denver gets that up.
00:39:11.320 I kind of threw them at it.
00:39:13.180 We'll get it up later if they don't.
00:39:14.680 But the point is that I need everyone to go and go to Apple Podcasts or Google Podcasts, find Steve Bannon's War Room.
00:39:25.740 Make it one of your favorite shows.
00:39:28.740 Download the app and get it on a regular basis.
00:39:32.280 So if you miss the War Room Live, there it is right now.
00:39:36.660 Download War Room now on Apple Podcasts.
00:39:39.080 You can scan that and stuff like that.
00:39:41.080 But what's important here, like, look, that was, this is what we do here on the War Room.
00:39:48.340 Keep that scan up.
00:39:50.300 We give clinics information.
00:39:53.600 We take deep dives.
00:39:55.020 And what Rick Grinnell just did in about 40 minutes for the War Room is offer you a doctoral seminar on the problems in foreign policy that have been created through Kamala Harris's total inexperience and Joe Biden's incompetence.
00:40:15.560 And he's given you a window in the world of how.
00:40:19.920 So here's an assignment.
00:40:21.560 Put that graphic back up, please.
00:40:23.840 I want you to go to Apple Podcasts.
00:40:29.040 Let's get the graphic back up.
00:40:30.960 I want you to go to Apple Podcasts.
00:40:34.080 And if you're not getting that, download it and we'll get that done.
00:40:43.920 If I give you a little bit of what the rest of the show is going to look like, at the top of the hour at 11,
00:40:50.360 we are going to have breaking news poll results.
00:40:55.560 There it is.
00:40:57.340 We've got the Download the War Room now on Apple Podcasts, that little scanner thing.
00:41:02.820 You can do it with your PDF, your Apple phone or whatever.
00:41:08.020 And, again, get this thing as one of your favorite shows and have it downloaded every day.
00:41:15.260 And I would really appreciate it if you went and looked at what Rick Grinnell said and shared with some of your friends.
00:41:22.640 What we're going to do at the top of the hour is we're going to have fresh – and I'm talking fresh right off the telephone – survey results from Rasmussen and Mark Mitchell.
00:41:38.540 And we're going to go – and we're going to take our time doing this because there's a lot to unpack in the crosstabs.
00:41:44.700 We're going to go through the battleground states, particularly Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
00:41:56.560 and see what the matchup is in a Harris-Trump race and then what happens when you throw Bobby Kennedy in the mix.
00:42:09.980 Bobby Jr., if you're listening, brother, this is the time now to drop out of the race and endorse Trump.
00:42:20.680 It's the smart thing to do for this country.
00:42:25.320 Regrettably, in your view, your campaign just didn't get traction.
00:42:32.380 You made some serious mistakes early on and not getting on the ballot as much as possible
00:42:36.920 because you got so much opposition from the Democrats, not Trump.
00:42:41.840 Trump never got in your way.
00:42:44.420 And I think you know as well as I, and I think you've said it,
00:42:48.140 that your father and your uncle would literally be rolling over in their grave
00:42:54.300 looking at the policies of the current Democrat Party.
00:42:58.480 So come home, home, Bobby.
00:43:00.000 This is Navarro in the war room.
00:43:02.840 We'll be right back.
00:43:05.460 And top of the hour, you'll be right here for RAS Mission polling results.
00:43:14.640 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:43:22.440 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:43:26.440 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email
00:43:32.180 and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:43:35.300 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence
00:43:39.860 and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event
00:43:44.040 that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:43:48.520 In fact, some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government
00:43:52.100 will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:43:55.900 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or
00:44:01.620 even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:44:06.940 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:44:12.460 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission
00:44:16.560 to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility
00:44:22.480 of programmable money.

00:45:22.140 All right, one more, one more little thing you need to know, background here for this commercial
00:45:30.640 that I'm about to read, is Kamala Harris.
00:45:34.580 Kamala Harris, as the president of the Senate, because she's vice president, was the tie-breaking 0.95
00:45:44.640 vote on several budget-busting bills that have created all that inflation that is making your
00:45:53.460 gasoline and food and rent and everything else more expensive.
00:45:58.380 But one of the things Kamala Harris did when she broke that tie was budget about 80,000 more 1.00
00:46:06.560 IRS agents.
00:46:07.660 And the IRS doesn't forget, if you owe back taxes, the interest and penalties just keep

00:46:53.920 Or visit t-nusa.com slash Bannon.
00:46:59.580 And Denver, be sure and put that website for them up on the screen when you see it, because
00:47:12.400 that t-n thing is a little bit confusing, possibly.
00:47:16.480 You want to make sure people get to where they need to go.
00:47:19.980 All right, in a few minutes, we're going to have breaking polling news from the great Mark
00:47:28.900 Mitchell at Rasmussen Reports.
00:47:31.540 You say Rasmussen, I say Rasmussen.
00:47:34.940 What's interesting about Rasmussen Reports is that it's one of the most accurate polling
00:47:47.500 groups that are out there, yet it has been removed from some of the polling aggregates
00:47:57.000 precisely because it is accurate.
00:47:59.440 And we'll talk a little bit with Mark about that.
00:48:01.160 But mostly what we're going to do is go through all the battlegrounds.
00:48:05.800 And it's a tight race, spoiler alert.
00:48:08.100 We know that as soon as Biden dropped out, whoever, I mean, it could have been the corpse in like
00:48:22.000 the Bernie's movie.
00:48:23.300 You remember that one?
00:48:24.980 Coming in and numbers would have went up because Joe was nearly dead as well and feckless and
00:48:32.200 incompetent.
00:48:32.880 So that's a hard parlay to try to get reelected with.
00:48:41.840 So what was interesting to me so far about the Democrat National Convention, I was at the
00:48:52.680 Republican National Convention.
00:48:54.720 And we had, I think, a lot of people on stage, including the vice president candidate and
00:49:06.040 the president himself, talking a lot about how specifically a Donald Trump, J.D.
00:49:17.560 Vance, vice president, president combo could improve the lives of the American people.
00:49:23.700 Well, at a time when we're suffering from an inflationary crisis, which has spawned a housing
00:49:32.120 crisis, a border crisis, which is bearing down on wages, bringing terrorists in, all that
00:49:39.360 stuff.
00:49:39.620 I mean, you know, you know the drill.
00:49:41.920 We've also got, particularly in our major cities and related in part to the border crisis,
00:49:48.380 a crime crisis because of people like Kamala Harris who want to defund the police and decriminalize
00:49:56.160 illegal immigration and raise money for protests.
00:50:01.060 I mean, I can't believe Kamala, I can't believe we have a ticket on the Democrat side where
00:50:09.940 the vice president nominee, Tim Waltz, and he's more of a polka to me, Tim Waltz, when Minneapolis
00:50:23.040 was burning, refused to send a National Guard, and the people who were burning it, Kamala Harris
00:50:32.760 was urging to get removed from any jail and to raise money for so they could keep burning
00:50:40.980 Minneapolis.
00:50:41.640 I mean, you can't make that up.
00:50:44.940 But the point is, we've got a crime crisis, a border crisis, an economic crisis.
00:50:49.740 You're not hearing any of that.
00:50:54.200 And are we celebrating eight years of Barack Obama?
00:51:00.180 I mean, economically, that was like Death Valley.
00:51:04.020 It was like they had to create a new term in economics, the new normal, to describe a
00:51:10.300 world in which our economy was more like a flatline growth rate.
00:51:14.940 And Bill Clinton gets up there, and he was the guy in 2001 who had welcomed China into 0.86
00:51:25.680 the World Trade Organization and created five million jobs destroyed in the Midwest and untold
00:51:33.900 damage and turned China into the military powerhouse it is running rampant around the world. 0.97
00:51:40.280 I mean, you look at that stage, and Hillary, she gets on and you just hate her. 1.00
00:51:45.160 I mean, that's her legacy.
00:51:47.440 You look at Hillary, and if you're a Democrat or a Republican, you just hate her. 1.00
00:51:53.000 And Michelle, look, everybody on the Democrat side seems to like Michelle.
00:51:58.220 But at the end of the day, there's this undercurrent of racism there that comes out of that girl. 1.00
00:52:04.040 I mean, it's just, just, she exudes that.
00:52:09.340 I'd love to hear some policy tonight on that stage.
00:52:13.620 How are they going to fix things?
00:52:16.020 What's the over-under on that?
