Kamala Harris is choking off American manufacturing and energy production in key battleground states like Michigan, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. It's ironic because much of this devastation is happening in key swing states that will likely determine the November 5th presidential election.
00:02:36.000And the idea is that her woke inflationary policies are now gutting American manufacturing and energy production.
00:02:47.000And it's rich. It's ironic because much of this devastation is happening in key battleground states that will likely determine a November 5th presidential election.
00:03:00.000I worked through the battlegrounds and let's start with Michigan.
00:03:06.000Under Kamala Harris's relentless push for the Green New Scam, Green New Deal, call it whatever you want.
00:03:14.000We have a situation where Michigan's iconic car makers are again, again being driven offshore.
00:03:28.000The backbone of Michigan's economy is collapsing under the weight of Harris's electric vehicle mandates.
00:03:39.000Ford, for example, had to pause construction of its $3.5 billion EV battery plan in Marshall, Michigan, throwing the future of 2,500 jobs into question.
00:03:53.000Smaller companies like Dawson Manufacturing and Benton Harbor have already shut down.
00:04:35.000What we have is Kamala Harris's radical environmentalism choking off the very fracking industry that had made Pennsylvania a leader in natural gas production and a beacon of American energy independence.
00:04:52.000Today, write this down, folks, drilling for new gas wells is at a historic low.
00:05:01.000Oil production has declined by about 187,000 barrels produced per month prior to the pandemic.
00:06:06.000When I was working my way through graduate school at Havid, working on my economics degree, I managed a small furniture store in Cambridge.
00:06:22.000And what I would have to do once a year is go to this place called High Point, North Carolina, where they had the annual furniture mart, and order the chairs.
00:06:39.000This is like the furniture capital of the world.
00:06:47.000Along came China and the WTO and just decimated that.
00:06:50.000But now, OK, its furniture industry, once the pride of the state, is crumbling under the weight of Kamala Harris's inflation and foreign competition.
00:07:30.000United Furniture Industries also closes plants in High Point and Winston-Salem, dealing another blow to North Carolina workers.
00:07:40.000These shutdowns are the inevitable result of Harris's inflationary and economic policies and her globalist refusal to protect American industries from unfair foreign competition.
00:07:55.000What Kamala Harris doesn't tell you is that her tie-breaking votes on the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan and $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act.
00:08:08.000Now, how's that for an irony for a name?
00:08:11.000The Inflation Reduction Act, major contributor, along with the other one, to this runaway inflation now spilling over into this country, but also directly into North Carolina's furniture industry.
00:08:29.000Okay, we're going to have MTG coming on at the bottom of the hour to talk about this.
00:08:37.000But the peach state isn't faring any better under Kamala Harris.
00:08:41.000Georgia's textile industry, one of the largest in the country, is being decimated by foreign competition, enabled by the refusal of Harris Biden to close the infamous de minimis loophole.
00:08:57.000This is something I want to bring to the attention now, the posse, because this is a very, very big deal.
00:09:03.000It was a little inside baseball when I was in the White House.
00:09:08.000Would have got it done if Trump had been elected for a second term.
00:09:12.000The de minimis loophole allows goods like electronics, furniture, and textiles that are valued under $800 to flood in to the U.S. tariff-free.
00:09:39.000It's not of small value when you add it up.
00:09:42.000It's billions of dollars of tariff money lost and more jobs lost here because of that.
00:09:48.000And foreign companies, especially Communist China, exploit this de minimis loophole ruthlessly.
00:09:55.000And Georgia textile workers are paying the price.
00:09:58.000There's, again, in the report, let me give you the report website again.
00:10:05.000I want you to download this if you can.
00:10:08.000It's at my Substack, so it's www.substack.com forward slash Navarro, www.substack.com forward slash Navarro.
00:10:19.000Or you can go today to the Washington Times where I've written a column about the report, and there's a link to download you there.
00:10:29.000One way or the other, I think you really will find this not interesting, but ammunition as we take the battle to the battleground states and make the case that Kamala Harris destroys jobs and Donald Trump creates them.
00:10:48.000Now, back to the main thread, we're talking about Georgia, as in the report, there's a company called 1888 Mills in Griffin, Georgia.
00:10:57.000In 2024, this once-proud company was forced to close its doors because it couldn't compete with cheap, tariff-free imports flooding the U.S. market.
00:11:09.000Now, let's go out to the land of Cary Lake, to Copper State, Arizona.
00:11:16.000It's actually, you don't usually associate Arizona with this, but it has long been a hub for aluminum production.
00:11:23.000This key Arizona industry employs thousands of workers and contributes nearly $38 billion to Arizona's economy.
00:11:35.000Yet, under Harris-Biden's weak enforcement of U.S. trade protections, Arizona's aluminum manufacturers are being hammered by Chinese and Mexican aluminum imports, which have surged by over 80% since Trump left office.
00:11:55.000Factories like Arconic and Chandler have shut down.
00:12:01.000The aluminum can manufacturer Ball Corp closed its Phoenix plant in 2022, and these closures, they're not isolated.
00:12:09.000They're emblematic of the Harris-Biden administration's failure to protect American industries from unfair foreign competition.
00:12:19.000Arizona's energy sector has also been battered in 2023 Tucson Electric Power.
00:12:26.000It was a focus of a study I did back in the 80s.
00:12:31.000It announced it would close its last coal-fired power generator by 2027, a move that will cost the state thousands of jobs and result in higher electricity rates for consumers.
00:12:45.000We're shutting down clean coal plants here, by the way, so that Communist China can build more dirty ones.
00:12:55.000That's bad energy policy, not just for us, but for the world.
00:13:00.000At the same time, Arizona's copper industry – man, this is vital for the production of military equipment and energy infrastructure – has been stalled by Kamala Harris's regulatory red tape.
00:13:12.000Projects – put this one on your radar screen.
00:13:15.000Projects like the Oak Flat copper mine.
00:13:18.000It could supply 25% of U.S. copper demand.
00:13:21.000It's now in limbo, further weakening Arizona's economy while Communist China strengthens its control over global copper supplies.
00:13:31.000Kamala Harris's policy agenda is a direct attack on American jobs, even as it threatens our national security.
00:13:38.000In just a few short years, Kamala Harris has turned America from an energy-independent powerhouse into a nation dependent on foreign oil while allowing Communist China to dominate the global markets for products like aluminum, autos, electronics, furniture, steel, and textiles.
00:13:57.000Instead of taking decisive action to protect American jobs, Harris has chosen to bow to the globalist agenda, weakening Trump-era tariffs, letting trade sheets run rampant, and flooding the market with cheap foreign goods at the expense of workers.
00:14:13.000As we head into the election, you know what to do.
00:14:17.000Voters in the battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona must ask themselves, can we afford another four years of this?
00:14:27.000And you know what that answer here is on the Royal Room.
00:14:31.000No or hell no, whatever one you choose.
00:16:25.000Margaret, I think it's important because the rules were that you guys were going to fact check.
00:16:31.000And since you're fact checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on.
00:16:35.000So there's an application called the CBP one app where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand.
00:16:49.000That is not a person coming in, applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years.
00:16:54.000That is the facilitation of a legal immigration, Margaret, by our own leadership.
00:16:58.000Thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process.
00:17:07.000The CBP one app has not been on the books since 1990.
00:17:10.000It's something that Kamala Harris created, Margaret.
00:17:13.000Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut.
00:17:17.000We have so much we want to get to. Thank you for explaining the legal process.
00:17:20.000Honestly, Tim, I think you got a tough job here because you've got to play whack a mole.
00:17:24.000You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising take home pay, which, of course, he did.
00:17:29.000You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation, which, of course, he did.
00:17:33.000And then you simultaneously got to defend Kamala Harris's atrocious economic record, which has made gas, groceries and housing unaffordable for American citizens.
00:17:43.000I was raised by a woman who would sometimes go into medical debt so that she could put food on the table in our household.
00:17:50.000I know what it's like to not be able to afford the things that you need to afford.
00:17:54.000We can do so much better to all of you watching.
00:17:57.000We can get back to an America that's affordable again.
00:18:00.000We just got to get back to common sense economic principles.
00:18:03.000I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it.
00:18:05.000I've tried to do the best I can, but I've not been perfect.
00:18:15.000The Kamala Harris blue tide in this year's presidential election turned Trump red on October 1st.
00:18:21.000That's the night the youngster J.D. Vance made the oldster Tim Waltz look like both a little kid and a long cat or a knucklehead in Tim's words.
00:18:32.000This is important. This momentum shift long overdue is as it should be.
00:18:37.000The Trump Vance ticket is strongly preferred by voters on the top issues that now regularly pop out in the polls.
00:18:45.000The economy and the related issue of inflation, immigration and border security, crime and public safety, foreign policy and the chaos in Gaza and carnage in Ukraine.
00:18:58.000The margins in favor of Trump Vance on these most salient issues are not even close.
00:19:05.000And no amount of abortion, abortion, abortion, health care, health care, health care or threats to democracy.
00:19:12.000Hey, they're the ones that threaten messaging can possibly level that polling playing field.
00:19:19.000By speaking directly to the people, J.D. Vance was able to shake off the shackles.
00:19:26.000The legacy media had immediately bound him in once he was on the ticket.
00:19:33.000Here, the treatment of Vance versus Waltz in that early days by the likes of ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC and print adjut propers like the New York Times and Washington Post
00:19:48.000offer a stark cat lady indictment of a leftist pro-Harris, pro-Waltz press seeking to do what? Intervene in an election.
00:19:58.000That's what they always accuse us of. They do it all the time.
00:20:03.000Here's what voters learned at the debate.
00:21:15.000Now, we know Tim Walz to be a hyperactive, bug-eyed cheerleader, far too prone to prevarication that a Texan might call a mile wide and an inch deep.
00:21:30.000While Vance was riding to the sound of the guns in Iraq, Walz turned tail and ran, then lied about his combat experience.
00:21:39.000And these have not been the only lies of this self-professed knucklehead.
00:21:49.000There's, I was in China during the Tiananmen Square riots lie.
00:21:54.000And there's no doubt a few more in the woodpile of a man who, during the Minneapolis riots, withheld the National Guard and let that city burn, even as he begged President Trump to protect him in his governor's mansion.
00:22:09.000Tim Walz's sordid routes to Communist China alone make him unfit for president.
00:22:19.000During the October, a little confession here, I'm watching this thing in New York, in New York that night, trying to do a little help there for the cause.
00:22:32.000During that October 1st debate in New York, I was both assuming and hoping that J.D. Vance would go for the juggler on all of these Walz foibles which the legacy media had swept under the rug.
00:22:58.000And it's what Kamala Harris should have done in her debate with Trump, rather than simply attack Trump, which ultimately backfired.
00:23:05.000Vance, instead of going for the knockout on Walz, used much of his time to reintroduce himself to an American public that had been indoctrinated by the legacy media.
00:23:20.000Vance then used the rest of the time to peacefully disagree with Walz on a range of issues and thereby demonstrated Vance's superior intellect and temperament.
00:23:35.000It was like watching a cat toy with a mouse, a quarterback, debating alignment.
00:23:44.000Ultimately, what Vance did in that debate is reaffirm that Trump beats Harris, not just in where Trump Vance stands on the economy, inflation, the border crime and foreign policy, but even when it comes to picking vice presidents.
00:24:02.000Trump's choice of the younger J.D. is just right to balance the ticket.
00:24:07.000Kamala Harris's safe pick in Walz, instead of the obvious pick of Pennsylvania's Josh Shapiro in a key battleground state, demonstrated both Kamala Harris's lack of judgment and insecurity.
00:24:23.000In the aftermath of the Walz massacre, here's the point, here's the breaking news, here's what you need to hear, posse.
00:24:32.500There's been a subtle but noticeable shift in the polling on the race, whether it's the national poll aggregates, and I recommend you looking at Real Clear Politics every day if you can.
00:24:48.220Real Clear Politics has these national poll aggregates and individual battleground state results.
00:24:58.120Trump is closing gaps in some places on Harris, like Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, and taking or keeping small leads in others, Arizona and Georgia.
00:25:45.100It will be because too many Republicans, Trump Democrats, and pro-independents stayed home.
00:25:55.200And of course, at this stage, it's the job of the Trump campaign to get those people to the polls, get them to fill out their early voting,
00:26:05.000get them to fill out their absentee voting,
00:26:07.220and make sure those votes are in so they don't get carry-laked on Election Day by Democrats shutting down the ballot box.
00:26:18.920So, my hat is off to J.D. Vance this morning.
00:26:23.460Your hat should be off to him as well.
00:26:26.000He not only won that debate, he turned the tide.
00:26:29.660And now, we've got to get people to the polls.
00:26:36.220All right, when we come back, we're going to have Marjorie Taylor Greene from the great state of Georgia, the Peach State.
00:26:43.760The theme today is focusing on the decline of manufacturing and energy jobs in key battleground states like Georgia and Arizona.
00:29:05.700Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:09.000We are now in the countdown to Steve's release.
00:29:12.680And it won't be long now before Mr. Bannon is back behind the microphone where he belongs.
00:29:19.280Let us never forget, never forget, as Steve would say, there are no conspiracies, but there are no coincidences.
00:29:28.220They took Steve off the board for the final four weeks of, four months, excuse me, four months of the campaign that is the most important presidential campaign in our history.
00:29:52.960And they took me off the board for four months at a crucial time when I could have been doing policy analysis for the campaign and all sorts of other stuff to push the ball down the field.
00:37:40.120So the op-ed's titled, Why We Shouldn't Build Trump's Border Wall, in parentheses, ever.
00:37:46.760And it's just a, you know, piece of drivel ranting against Trump's border wall, calling it, calling illegal immigration, quote, a problem that doesn't exist.
00:37:59.240Of course, we know it's a problem that exists.
00:38:01.880And it exists all too prolifically here in the United States under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
00:38:07.580The regime that Ruben Gallego has voted with 100 percent of the time, specifically on the border, where they're just allowing people into our country.
00:38:16.900Not only that, flying people from out of the country into our country and trying to give mass amnesty to all of these illegal immigrants and allow them to vote for elections.
00:38:26.300You know, there's also several other pieces of legislation he's voted for and against that shows he's voting for illegal immigration.
00:38:33.900Most recently, the SAVE Act, which would have prevented illegals from voting in federal elections here in the United States.
00:38:41.220So, yeah, those are just a few, you know, he's called Trump's border wall, quote, stupid and useless.
00:38:49.360And it's just it just shows he's this guy's actually running for for the Senate.
00:38:55.280And it's completely disqualifying that he's got this record coupled with the fact that his father is convicted drug trafficker, possibly for the Mexican cartels.
00:39:03.860I haven't gotten that far, but he didn't even deny it.
00:39:07.680He didn't deny that he has. Did you did you try to get a quote from the Phoenix mayor, ex-wife at all?
00:39:15.020Did she did she ever talk publicly about this?
00:41:45.260Somebody exposes the truth just to be labeled a conspiracy theorist realist, only to be proven right later on.
00:41:52.120Well, let me tell you about the next thing you should be concerned about, government geotracking of your phone and other devices.
00:41:59.220We've seen the government use geofencing to track the devices of individuals on January 6th, leading to unwarranted arrests without evidence of wrongdoing.

00:42:42.660I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:42:48.420First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:42:52.920This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:43:00.440Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author,
00:43:08.360is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:43:14.480In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:43:21.880If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA,
00:43:28.900the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:43:32.900I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:43:38.440Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming
00:43:45.160and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:43:50.740Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.
