He is also the author of The New MAGA Deal, The Deplorable Guide to Donald Trump's 2024 Platform, and you can pre-order a copy at 45books.com. Peter Navarro was sentenced to 5 months in prison for refusing to comply with the Democrats' sham investigation of the January 6th committee, which had nothing to do with the truth. It had to do everything to smear the America First movement, smear the deep state, and smear the Trump administration in order to accomplish their agenda. Peter is a friend of mine, and I can t wait to have him on the show to talk about all the details of what happened to him, and why he should have stood up to the Democrats and the Deep State.

00:00:00.000Hey guys and welcome to another huge episode of Triggered.
00:00:08.000Today's episode is going to be a big one, and it's likely, honestly, one of the more important interviews we've done, possibly ever.
00:00:17.000Today we're joined by former Trump trade advisor, China expert, and America's first warrior, Peter Navarro.
00:00:25.000Peter is actually going to prison tomorrow, tomorrow.
00:00:31.000He was sentenced to five months behind bars, all because he didn't go along with the Democrats' sham January 6th committee, which we now know for certain had nothing to do with the truth.
00:00:46.000It had nothing to do with an insurrection or the creation of a narrative, which it had everything to do with that, I guess, and everything to do with smearing the America First movement, pushing more baseless prosecutions Laundering more lies through the media, doing the bidding of the deep state and the Democrat Party.
00:01:07.000We've seen that. There's a reason the exculpatory evidence and videos would not be released.
00:01:13.000There's a reason the FBI is shockingly not at all interested in multiple bombs found outside of the DNC and the RNC. There's a reason the FBI director didn't want the videos out because too many of his people were actually in the crowd, seemingly doing nothing.
00:01:29.000Probably inciting a quote-unquote insurrection, not actually doing anything to stop it.
00:01:35.000It's almost as if they had a plan and this was by design.
00:02:07.000He goes through some of the great MAGA patriots who were in the cabinet, the few that weren't snakes, people who are likely going to be major contenders for serious cabinet-level positions in my father's second term, etc.
00:02:28.000His crime was not simply not complying with the January 6th committee.
00:02:33.000It's also that he was the guy, the architect, along with my father, of the incredible position, the strong stance against China, putting America first, not letting them shake us down like they do each and every time.
00:02:49.000And between tariffs and other vehicles, it was working.
00:02:54.000And honestly, in Washington, D.C., that's a cardinal sin.
00:02:59.000You can't take on China, because as we talked with Peter Schweitzer two weeks ago, seems far too many of our politicians are on the payroll.
00:03:07.000So this is going to be a really interesting conversation with Peter Navarro.
00:03:11.000He's a friend. Legitimately can't believe that this is happening to him.
00:03:16.000Um... But I feel he's going to come out of it stronger because I think the rest of the country now finally sees just how far we have fallen.
00:03:26.000Just how much we're acting like the dictators.
00:03:31.000We complain about other countries, just how much of a banana republic we've actually become.
00:03:36.000So this is going to be a really interesting conversation.
00:03:38.000Make sure that you guys are liking, make sure you're sharing, make sure you're subscribing, so we can continue to get these messages out.
00:03:46.000Okay, this is the stuff the mainstream media won't talk about, right?
00:03:49.000They're too busy calling you fascists while simultaneously literally jailing We're good to go.

00:06:19.000And guys, we talk about it all the time.
00:06:21.000We also have to protect ourselves in the face of the financial crisis we're likely to experience with the incompetence leading our government.
00:09:34.000MAGA is the most sensible path in the world from a policy standpoint to peace, prosperity, and security, which is what we had during your father's administration.
00:09:50.000It was the most incredible four years of peace, prosperity, and security this country has
00:10:45.000It's about common sense policies on the economy, on security, on culture, on politics.
00:10:53.000And newmagadeal.com is where you can get it and You're the man, Don, having that publishing arm, which allows folks like me to be able to speak to the world when much of the publishing industry right now is woke, canceled culture, just scum as far as I'm concerned.
00:11:17.000Yeah, not a lot of people would actually put this book out.
00:11:20.000I've dealt with this with a bunch of guys, congressmen, not people that are alt-right, or everyone's alt-right, I guess, that doesn't go along with Joe Biden and his idiocy.
00:11:30.000But yeah, that's what's shocking is, I mean, you ran trade for the United States.
00:11:35.000You guys actually were the only people that actually did that well in at least recent history.
00:12:06.000I know you probably don't do this much on the show, but I gotta give the highest praise to Sergio Gore.
00:12:13.000He's the guy who runs the publishing firm day to day for you, Don.
00:12:22.000I know you guys work really closely together.
00:12:25.000And he is like, I wrote this White House memoir called In Trump Time, because when I was in the White House, it was like, get this done as quickly as possible.
00:12:35.000And Sergio Gore has done just a beautiful job moving this.
00:12:39.000We're going to, you can order it on newbankadeal.com now.
00:12:44.000It's going to be out. Yeah, we have it up at 45books.com as well.
00:12:47.000So, you know. Yes, and it's going to be out, though, importantly, right at the convention, the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
00:12:56.000It's going to be coming out. You can get it in advance as a gift for your own copy.
00:13:02.000And what we hope is that this book, from the time it comes out all the way to Election Day, will capture the imagination of voters who, frankly, look, it's not just that Winnie Publishing is the only place, really, one of the few places you can get books that speak in our voice.
00:13:28.000It's also that the mainstream legacy media doesn't explain realistically what Trump policies are.
00:13:39.000Everything is through the reality distortion field.
00:13:48.000It's like every major country in the world I remember back during the Trump administration trying to deal with the porous open border and watched your dad do it literally overnight with the threat of tariffs.
00:14:13.000That's a whole other tale I can tell you.
00:14:15.000But it just makes sense to have secure borders where you don't allow an unrestricted flow of uneducated illegals into our job markets to drive down the wages and take away jobs from blue-collar Americans.
00:14:34.000You don't want Chinese communist military-age We're good to go.
00:14:59.000And his policies, it's like, there's just, there's no, it's like, come on now.
00:15:04.000And look, we know why they're doing it.
00:15:06.000They want to stack the red states with voters and take over this country and make all of us slaves to their woke ideology.
00:15:18.000So... This new mega deal book is all about why the struggle we're going through and why this election is literally the most important one in the last hundred years.
00:15:30.000I mean, it literally is the most important election.
00:15:33.000Because if we don't take the White House and Congress back...
00:15:39.000From these woke fools, there's not a lot of time left to turn their stuff around.
00:15:45.000There really isn't. Listen, I don't know that I want the presidency without the House and without the Senate, right?
00:15:50.000Because it'll just be never-ending impeachments.
00:15:53.000I'll get to do another 50 hours of congressional testimony for treason or whatever else they make up, like Adam Schiff made up last time.
00:16:00.000But, you know, I think what people watching, I think, Peter, need to understand, like, you are literally reporting to prison tomorrow for five months, and yet you're here and you're talking about MAGA principles for the next term.
00:16:18.000I mean, just so people understand, like, what kind of warrior you actually are, how important...
00:16:24.000Like, it's not like it's soundbite stuff.
00:16:28.000Nearly as concerned about the political persecution of their enemies based on lies, based on this, but literally already taking proactive steps.
00:16:38.000I mean, I wish, honestly, I wish every conservative had your balls, but more importantly, your heart.
00:16:46.000Like, You're going to prison for five months starting tomorrow.
00:16:49.000You're here talking about manga principles for the next term and how to save our country.
00:16:55.000I think everyone watching has to understand that.
00:16:58.000Honestly, that's a lesson in patriotism right there.
00:17:10.000Not the people that we have in Washington, including the vast majority of those supposedly on our side.
00:17:18.000But... That's been disheartening how many Republicans in the House have not seized the opportunity they got in 2022.
00:17:31.000But let me just explain to your viewers and listeners what's at stake here.
00:17:38.000And the broad stroke here is, look, Men and women of America throughout our history have shed blood, lost their lives for the defense of this country, defense of what we stand for, defense of our values, defense of the Constitution.
00:17:58.000And for me, it's a much smaller sacrifice to be willing to go to prison, as I now have been ordered to do, To defend what is really one of the most important principles of the Constitution, which is the constitutional separation of powers.
00:18:19.000My hope and my mission here is that U.S. versus Peter Navarro will be, in fact, the landmark constitutional case.
00:18:28.000I believe it is, as it works its way through the appeals courts.
00:18:32.000On the constitutional separation of powers, on whether a partisan, weaponized Congress can attack a president with subpoena power and take away something that, Don, it goes back to the days of George Washington and the famous J Treaty, when George Washington, our first president, We've basically laid down the law on what's called executive privilege.
00:19:04.000Privilege has gotten a bad connotation these days, but executive privilege, the Supreme Court has recognized this, it's critical for a president to be able to have folks like me in the White House, senior White House advisors, and we're called the alter egos of the president, which we're just like the president when it comes to Congress not being able to subpoena us, to have confidential We're good to go.
00:19:48.000Executive privilege will be dead as we know it, and it'll just become a partisan football of subpoenas flying all around.
00:19:55.000Yeah, you need a president to be able to act, frankly, on both sides, right?
00:19:59.000Yeah, exactly. The other side, the Republicans will never fight the same way, unfortunately.
00:20:04.000Maybe this will teach them to, because it's only a matter of time until it happens to them.
00:20:08.000But the Democrats, they've been playing a different game for far too long.
00:20:12.000Do that. Run us through the case, because it's really...
00:20:15.000I mean, you're willing to go to prison on principle by simply saying, hey, while it's still playing out in appeals, I'm sort of surprised...
00:20:23.000Actually, nothing surprises me anymore that they would say, hey, you've got to go report to prison, even though you're still in appeals, right?
00:20:29.000So there hasn't been a final verdict per se.
00:20:32.000But talk to the people about the details of what this is, because you're actually...
00:20:37.000You're taking a very strong stand on principle.
00:20:41.000You're going to suffer for that, but you believe it enough.
00:20:45.000And again, I wish we had more people that actually believed in these things because it is so critical to our country, but really it's so critical for the ability of the executive branch to actually function as it's designed to function in the Constitution.
00:21:01.000Yeah. Well, look, it started with this so-called J6 committee, which your dad likes to call the J6 Unselect Committee, the witch hunt, as it were.
00:21:32.000And then Dan Scavino, of course, was on the communication side, you know, brothers in arms.
00:21:37.000Mm-hmm. I went through that whole four years watching with dismay how, as soon as Pelosi, in particular, got a hold of the House of Representatives, it was a subpoena after subpoena, impeachment.
00:22:43.000Oh, I mean, that's terrible. I mean, you know, it's the first unarmed insurrection in the history of the world.
00:22:48.000I mean, something tells me that's bullshit, but hey, that's just me.
00:22:51.000I get a subpoena to come testify and produce documents before the J6 Committee.
00:23:01.000From my experience in the White House, first of all, there's more than 50 years of Department of Justice policies across Republican and Democrat administrations that say That there's a policy of absolute testimonial immunity against compelled testimony by Congress, right? You can't do it.
00:23:21.000Senior White House advisors can't be compelled to testify.
00:23:28.000This was the second subpoena I'd gotten.
00:23:30.000And it's like, okay, what's our plan here?
00:23:35.000And it was like, He's invoking executive privilege, like he did for almost every other person that went up to testify before that committee, right?
00:23:47.000So, okay, I invoke executive privilege.
00:23:50.000I get this. I tell him, I said it from the beginning to the end, to the committee.
00:24:24.000And What you wound up having, and one of the remarkable things in my sentencing hearing, Don, was the insistent by the court that this wasn't partisan.
00:26:01.000The closest margin like that, you know, pro-Biden margin was Colorado, and the split was only 13%.
00:26:12.000So my point is that you had a jury pool, which was overwhelmingly Democrat, and during what's called voir dire, There were a number of them who wound up on the jury who said they didn't like your dad.
00:26:28.000All they had to get on the jury, again, it's like the judge would say, well, would that interfere with your judgment?
00:27:04.000There's all sorts of important issues that need to be settled in law up the chain in the higher courts.
00:27:12.000He said that he believed that I believed, and everybody else believed that I believed, that executive privilege had been invoked and it was my duty to do what I did.
00:27:25.000Yet... Well, it seems to be so consistent.
00:27:30.000They waive all the norms, all the rules, all the precedent.
00:27:35.000It's waived, in this case, against Donald Trump.
00:27:39.000I mean, even a regular Republican may have gotten the benefit of the doubt on this one, but if it's Donald Trump, it doesn't matter if this has been done this way for 150 years and there's count.
00:27:49.000We're just going to push the boundaries and we're going to try something a little different.
00:27:53.000We're always going to be in uncharted waters, even if There's clear precedent.
00:27:57.000Even if you're on appeals, it doesn't matter.
00:28:00.000Congratulations, you get to still go to prison because we're going to make sure they teach anyone, whether it was from that administration or from future ones, a lesson.
00:29:00.000Because maybe you could actually have objectivity in Florida, but that you're never going to get in D.C., And this thing I told you about how they stripped me of all my defenses going before I even got to a jury, I'm seeing that same process play out with your dad.
00:29:15.000So explain that. What does that mean exactly when you say you were stripped of all your defenses?
00:29:20.000Okay, so if I had been able to present a full-throated defense, It was simple that the president had invoked executive privilege, not my privilege to waive.
00:29:36.000I tried to get him to, you know, the J6 committee to contact her dad.
00:29:42.000They never did that. I would have been willing to testify.
00:29:46.000And there's a Department of Justice policy over 50 years that says it's against the law to compel me to testify.
00:29:55.000And I could have presented that To the jury, but the judge made this ruling based on this really, among others, this really obscure, you know, half of this. It's a 1963 case involving a mobster named Licavoli, James Licavoli, who refused to testify before Congress on the advice of his counsel.
00:30:23.000Okay? Okay. And in the district court, they said, that's not an adequate defense.
00:30:44.000Okay? Now, it's a ridiculous precedent because it has nothing to do with the implication of constitutional separation of powers or bigger constitutional issues.
00:30:56.000It should not have been applied to begin with and equally and or more important It's going to be overturned, I believe, up the chain because it shouldn't apply.
00:31:07.000But when you do that, it's like they turned a constitutional case into a speeding ticket.
00:31:15.000He's guilty. So when I got to the trial itself, I'm sitting in front of, you know, 12 people drawn from a jury pool that, yeah, pretty, pretty blue state.
00:31:54.000The other thing is, look, it's common that In cases for once you're sentenced to provide what's called release pending appeal.
00:32:06.000Okay, so the judge could have done what another judge did in Steve Bannon's case, which is similar to mine, and simply said, you stay out until you have your chance to go through the appeals process.
00:32:23.000But isn't that the purpose of the appeal?
00:32:25.000Is there no way to accelerate that so you can get that going?
00:32:28.000Because it sort of feels like, great, you could serve five months in prison, then you're exonerated later on, but you don't get the five months back.
00:32:37.000A mockery of the whole system, isn't it?
00:32:39.000Yeah, as we're speaking, I've got two appeals going on.
00:32:43.000One's the big appeal of the case itself, and that's already kind of in process, but that's going to take a little bit of time.
00:32:51.000But I also have like an emergency appeal at the appeals court, and it's already cued if the appeals court says no to go right to the Supreme Court.
00:33:02.000And that'll be decided hopefully within the next few days in some sense.
00:33:09.000It's like if a case like mine involves important constitutional issues that have a significant chance of being overturned that lead to a dismissal of the case or a retrial, Then you grant your release pending appeal.
00:33:36.000My attorneys are going, wait, this is like the poster child for that.
00:33:42.000I mean, everything we argued in all the motions and hearings leading up to the actual trial was about these constitutional issues.
00:35:11.000You lied at the time, but there's no problem because, you know, we actually got the result we wanted.
00:35:15.000So there is literally no consequence to lying before a congressional body and before all of America on national TV. Well, you know, I think there's a good case that can be made that much of what Those folks did on the J6 committee.
00:35:49.000And a lot of the stuff that has been done on the Hill by Democrats, with the help, the complicity of the media, you know, the Morning Joes of this world and the Rachel Maddows, is flat out election interference.
00:36:04.000I mean, if you go back to the Russia hoax, That was election interference before the election, right?
00:36:10.000They were trying to stop the boss from getting elected by smearing him.
00:36:15.000And then once he got in, it was an attempted coup d'etat.
00:36:19.000They were trying to take him out with that.
00:36:22.000And then going into 2020, all of that...
00:36:26.000Russia hoax, Ukraine, all that stuff, was an attempt to prevent him from getting elected in 2020.
00:36:35.000And now, look, I go back to the moment I got my subpoena and then subsequently talked to your dad.
00:36:43.000It's like we knew, he knew from the outset.
00:36:48.000That the purpose of that committee was to get Trump.
00:36:53.000And by the way, by the time I got my subpoena, I was kind of towards the end of the list.
00:37:00.000Your dad had invoked executive privilege for lots of folks that I served shoulder to shoulder and arm to arm.
00:37:11.000Scavino and Meadows and Bannon and all of that.
00:37:14.000Yeah. Yeah, we know what the game afoot here is.
00:37:19.000And so if we can get the right House and the House and the Senate and the Department of Justice back, it'd be interesting to find out some answers to some hard questions within the context of the intent of these things.
00:37:40.000Why do you think you were treated differently?
00:37:44.000Yeah. Well, why do you think you were treated so differently than so many others who were also, you know, probably equally, maybe not as hated.
00:37:51.000I guess you had the cardinal sin of taking on China rather than bending a knee to them.
00:37:56.000So maybe that's maybe that's the difference.
00:37:58.000But what do you think the difference is?
00:38:00.000Well, I think, first of all, they needed a target and a scapegoat.
00:38:07.000They went after the two people that they brought to trial.
00:38:15.000And what he and I share in common is our harsh criticism of Communist China, which led them, by the way, I don't know if you know this, but something like within six minutes of Biden taking over the White House, Communist China set out sanctions.
00:38:56.000And the other thing is, look, I'm outspoken.
00:38:58.000I make no bones about the fact that these, I mean, like Steve and I were outspoken.
00:39:04.000They didn't prosecute, they chose not to prosecute either Dan Scavino, and I'm really happy for that because I love Dan.
00:39:13.000He's such a good man, good father, and a friend of And to the president of Loyalist to the Patriot, they didn't prosecute Mark Meadows either.
00:39:25.000And the difference at the time was I didn't have a lawyer and maybe they thought I was an easy mark.
00:39:32.000But I want to try to make sure that they regret this decision in that we get this To the appeals court, we get this to the Supreme Court, even if I'm stuck in prison.
00:40:00.000That's why I'm willing to go to prison if I have to.
00:40:04.000And, you know, coming back full circle where we started, it makes it more comforting to know that you and Sergio are publishing the new MAGA deal, which may help Let's talk about that a little bit, because I want to get into the details of that.
00:40:30.000I mean, you got the new MAGA deal, the unofficial deplorables guide to Donald Trump's 2024 platform.
00:40:36.000So it's really more of a toolbook, honestly, than...
00:40:40.000You're actually not going into details on this stuff that we're talking about as much as you are about what will be vitally important for voters to understand what the 2024 platform is, what it could be as opposed to the America Last policies that we're getting.
00:40:58.000I mean, tell us more about that because you have sort of two parts.
00:41:04.000And what I believe, frankly, a lot of the policies should be, most of those economic and otherwise.
00:41:11.000But you also kind of go through 10 or 12 of the other guys like you, people who were loyalists.
00:41:18.000You had Rick Grinnell, other sort of MAGA guys, people that would be shunned by the swamp, but that were really good in their roles, were effective, steadfast, and loyal.
00:41:34.000Well, when I could see this book, the idea was to have each chapter focus on a single policy and to have it written kind of op-ed length, like 800 to 1,000 words so it's easily digestible, right? And if you look at the folks who are there, I, along with Rick, set the tone of the book at the beginning because we talk about what MAGA means.
00:42:06.000I handle it. I call it the Iron MAGA Triangle.
00:42:09.000It's the end endless wars, secure borders, and fair trade.
00:42:13.000That's kind of when your dad walked down the escalator with Melania, that was kind of That was kind of the core of his principles.
00:42:20.000And then Rick takes up where I leave off with a really nice chapter on what populist economic nationalism means and why it doesn't mean America alone.
00:42:55.000I got David Bernhardt, who was a great Department of Interior Cabinet Secretary.
00:43:02.000And I worked with him closely during the administration doing things like pulling Chinese drones down.
00:43:08.000So we wouldn't use those, but he handles like the energy policy.
00:43:14.000We've got Frank Gaffney, who does a great job on some of the China financial issues, like money flows coming in and out.
00:43:27.000A good buddy of mine, who was a co-author on my Death by China book, Greg Autry, talks about the Chinese space They want to get to the moon before we do and claim all the raw materials up there and be able to shoot nuclear weapons down us.
00:43:46.000And just every single issue and what I did with my research team is we went and faithfully read your dad's speeches, looked at the website for the policy papers and also the videos that are up there.
00:44:01.000I know And have very high regard for the two speechwriters, Vince Haley and Ross Worthington.
00:44:09.000And it's very much a collaborative affair.
00:44:12.000So folks who read the new MAGA deal will really get an inside textured look at how all this works.
00:44:24.000And the thing I want to stress here, Don, is that...
00:44:29.000The difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump right now, stripped of everything, is that Donald Trump showed over four years that he knows how to deliver economic prosperity, border security, economic security, national security, and peace.
00:44:51.000With Russia, North Korea, Communist China, Iran.
00:44:55.000He did that. And everybody now knows that Joe Biden can't do that.
00:45:01.000Okay? Doesn't seem like Joe Biden can do a lot.
00:45:04.000So what we did in the four years of the first Trump administration was beautiful policy.
00:45:12.000But what's so beautiful about what's going to happen next is that it's up like three or four or five notches in terms of Being able to do things.
00:45:31.000And look, even if we lose to Congress, which I hope we don't, I'm telling you, and I spent most of my time in the White House helping to do this, executive orders are a hammer.
00:45:43.000And they get stuff done, they get them done quickly, rather than having to wait around for those fools on Capitol Hill...
00:45:55.000And one of the other, the last thing I'll tell you, is we actually explain how, what actual policies are going to be implemented.
00:46:03.000And there's other, you know, like there's stuff, I've got some really nice chapters on the whole transgender and women's sports and all that stuff like that, that deal with some of these culture wars.
00:46:13.000Mike Davis, That guy is a legal hammer.
00:46:19.000I'd love him to be AG. I don't think he'll get confirmed, but let him be the temporary AG for a couple of months.
00:47:42.000Well, again, do you think that has a role in your persecution, given how the swamp has sold our country out to China?
00:47:49.000I mean, I sort of touched on that earlier, but I wasn't sure.
00:47:53.000Obviously, you were just an outspoken voice, and therefore you were going to be made an example of, but do you think it was more so because also the positions on China and how everyone, it seems, in Washington, D.C. is somehow or other economically linked to China's success far more than they are to America's?
00:48:13.000No doubt. And I buried one lead when you said forward.
00:48:17.000I need to give a pat on the back to Stephen K. Bannon because he writes a heck of a forward, which kind of ties all of that together because the forward of the book starts when your dad got elected in 2016 and it's like the day after.
00:49:07.000Like, if your greatest threat, your greatest enemy, literally is A... I'm predicting what's coming in the future, but also suffering because of it.
00:49:19.000And how involved are they going to be in sabotaging this election, by the way?
00:49:24.000Well, look, to your point about whether my role as a China hawk, you know, Steve left the administration like early in 2017.
00:49:36.000I chied him about it because we could have used him.
00:49:39.000But I was like, there wasn't a lot of guys like me around.
00:49:44.000And I think if I say this humbly, but I do believe there's a general understanding that I was one of the more effective Public servants helping move things through the White House in what I called in Trump time.
00:50:00.000I mean, breaking the logjam on steel and aluminum tariffs was a big deal.
00:50:05.000forcing the Chinese to the table, getting the tariffs passed some of the internal opposition
00:50:29.000But look, they are our greatest existential threat.
00:50:32.000But the problem is, Joe Biden has created a whole range of threats.
00:50:37.000Because the Biden family is on their payroll, so it's natural.
00:50:41.000That was one of the greatest investments China ever made, was in a crackhead like Hunter, because they basically owned this administration.
00:50:50.000And our Congress and our media is too weak to actually look at it.
00:50:54.000By the way, 2024, what should our trade strategy towards China be in the next Trump administration?
00:51:23.000I mean, I don't think we need to go out and beat on our chest and say we're going to, you know, whatever.
00:51:31.000But what we need to do, and your dad was ready to do this in a second term, which he fully believed at the time, He was going to get before the damn thing got stolen, was to really begin the process of decoupling from China by significantly raising tariffs to the point where you begin to lock Chinese goods out.
00:51:54.000The problem, of course, that we have to navigate, and it's a serious problem that I spent a lot of my time in the White House trying to deal with, Was that China has a chokehold on key elements of our supply chain, as well as end-use products.
00:52:11.000I mean, pharmaceuticals are kind of the poster child.
00:52:18.000Well, penicillin, vitamin C. I mean, I think one of the best executive orders I drafted in And your dad's sign was one that was aimed at buy American and bringing our supply chains home for pharmaceuticals.
00:52:41.000And we made some pretty good enrolls as a result of your dad.
00:52:49.000The most remarkable statistic, and this was true back then, is that our trade deficit with China Communist China, never forget that, has been roughly equal to their annual military budget.
00:53:05.000So when we go in and buy their crap, we're essentially arming the missiles The aircraft carriers, the submarines, the fifth-generation fighter jets they stole from us in terms of designs that may well, at some point and possibly in the near future, sink an aircraft carrier of America with 5,000 souls on it headed right to the bottom of the Taiwan Strait.
00:53:37.000That's what we don't understand as a country.
00:53:40.000That's what the Republicans and Democrats on the Hill haven't wrapped their head around, but that's what your dad understood, that's what I understood, and that's why economic security is national security, right?
00:53:55.000Economic security is national security.
00:53:57.000To the extent we stop China from their economic aggression, We're able to choke off their military capabilities.
00:54:08.000And look, we get back to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and the brother James, the Biden crime family.
00:54:15.000I mean, a Hunter Biden laptop from hell is the most revealing expose of a grift scheme selling out this country that you could ever imagine.
00:54:27.000And I'm going to prison and Joe Biden's sitting in the White House.
00:54:30.000Go figure. Well, let's bring it back home.
00:54:35.000But in one of your chapters, you talk about, you know, our large companies, you know, endangering and engaging in, you know, endangering our children, but by engaging in woke fare.
00:54:46.000You call it woke fare, which actually I think I've never heard the term, but it actually makes total sense, you know, and against other companies and customers, too.
00:54:55.000And we've seen that the cancellation of, you know, whether it's employees or these, you know, they're going all in.
00:55:01.000Get into detail on WOKEFARE and solutions, how we can handle that coming from government.
00:55:10.000It's difficult to understand all of the factors that have gone into the corporate-making decision, but by and large, the companies on the S&P 500, the major corporations of this country, The people who run these corporations have decided that woke policies are the way to go.
00:55:34.000So it's like rather than focusing just on profits, it's the equity, the diversity, all of that stuff.
00:55:42.000And as a practical matter, the way that manifests at Wokefare is that all of their advertising dollars – We're good to go.
00:56:26.000Corporations now, the employees there, dare not speak about anything related to religion or politics.
00:56:37.000If somebody finds out that, by God, they voted for Trump, it puts their job at risk.
00:56:45.000Yeah, no, listen, I've spent my whole, you know, since the White House, I've spent my whole time trying to build this sort of alternative economy, right?
00:56:52.000Whether it's with, you know, Winning Team Publishing, publishing your book, right?
00:56:56.000Doing that, trying to give an outlet, whether it's, you know, I think I was the second verified user on Rumble after Dan Bongino.
00:57:02.000I'm doing, you know, MXM News, you know, to make sure that people can get sort of the not Google curated version of what's actually going on right there with Public Square.
00:57:14.000You know, to try to align like-minded individuals, patriotic businesses with other small businesses in the area so that, you know, you can vote with your wallet.
00:57:22.000It's so critical because corporate America has totally forgotten about actual Americans.
00:57:28.000They don't care. I know so many people that work in corporate America that, you know, You say Merry Christmas, you're going to be laid off.
00:57:34.000Now, if you say, you know, marry whatever some other, you know, let's call it a checkbox religion, that's totally fine.
00:57:41.000And it's gotten so disgusting that I think it's truly something that we have to work on so greatly here in this country.
00:57:51.000Because... I know people, they walk to work, they're in fear at work every day for saying something that would be common vernacular, that would have at any other time in history just been a nice courteous gesture.
00:58:04.000If you say to Merry Christmas to someone, you don't know that they don't celebrate Christmas, and you're going to the gulags.
00:58:09.000I mean, I work with redballoon.org, a job board that actually finds conservative positions with conservative people so that you don't have to be subjected to sort of the trans mafia at corporate HR. There's so many of these things out there that are doing it, and I think it's a really important fight.
00:58:27.000We've got to be fighting all the battles.
00:58:29.000But, you know, it's only recently that we've sort of engaged on all these other fronts that we've allowed to be taken over and commandeered by so many on the other side.
00:58:38.000So, you know, it's awesome that you acknowledge that and see that as well because, like, I feel like sometimes it's like, hey, man, I'm out there trying to do this, but it ain't easy.
00:58:46.000And we need people on board to actually make that happen.
00:58:49.000Once they figure it out and they know, it seems so obvious because, you know, they're literally going after our...
00:58:57.000Our very soul, you know, as a nation, the principles that we all grew up knowing and loving, they've just eliminated all forms of common sense or even common decency or courtesy.
00:59:10.000It's just out the window for an agenda that seems, frankly, to be nothing other than just destructive, while our enemies probably laugh their asses off that it's going on here right now.
00:59:21.000Well, one of the remarkable things about your dad and his administration is he turned the Republican Party into the party of the working class, the blue collar Americans, the middle class folks.
00:59:36.000And we have to remember, Don, that the corporations, particularly the bigger ones, Have a vested interest in opposing just about every policy that Donald Trump stands for.
00:59:51.000I mean, they love the cheap labor coming across the border.
00:59:55.000They love the unrestricted visas for the higher end kind of workers.
01:00:02.000They love the kind of the globalist mentality.
01:00:07.000And frankly, a lot of the people who run American corporations are not Americans.
01:00:15.000These executives are from all over the world.
01:00:20.000Populist economic nationalism is inapta to them.
01:00:26.000Whatever it is, ultimately, we know they've made a choice.
01:00:34.000And Woke Fair is just a very, very destructive institution in this country, just as lawfare is.
01:00:43.000And I spent a lot of time in the new MAGA deal talking about the whole concept of lawfare with the help of guys like Mike Davis, which is using our legal system to promote partisan ends.
01:00:57.000So We got a battle on our hands, brother, but we're going to fight the best way we know how, and that's what we, you know, information is power.
01:01:08.000Well, I guess, yeah, I appreciate you doing it.
01:01:11.000It's sort of, like I said, it's sort of surreal to even have this conversation, knowing that, you know, he's supposed to report to prison tomorrow.
01:01:17.000You know, I remember, I sent over a copy of my ID because you're going to be down in Miami.
01:01:23.000I was like, just because I needed to do that now in advance to be able to come even visit and just sort of Pay my respects for that.
01:01:32.000What have you been told about what to even expect?
01:01:36.000Do you anticipate serving all five months?
01:01:39.000Will you be writing even more from there?
01:01:41.000I assume you get a little bit more time.
01:01:44.000How much does this all sort of motivate you to help get the job done in November?
01:01:54.000I noticed me, when I get back in a corner, it actually makes me fight so much harder.
01:01:59.000Russia, Russia, Russia sort of brought out an animal in me that I didn't know because I was like, bullshit, I'm not sitting in the sidelines like, you know, my lawyers, you can't go on TV, you can't say that, you can't fight back.
01:02:09.000It's like, the fuck I can't and I'm going to.
01:02:26.000I've had a number of folks contact me who've had the prison experience.
01:02:34.000But, you know, the common thread is prison is prison.
01:02:39.000You go walk in there, you strip, and they give you their clothes and You're their property for the rest of the time you're there.
01:02:52.000It's unclear whether there'd be any reduction in the sentence at this point.
01:03:01.000What I'm just trying to focus on now is just standing tall and doing what I need to and get to the other side of it.
01:03:13.000Just Thinking about how so many men and women in this country have lost their lives or lost their limbs.
01:03:22.000I remember when I was in the administration, I had occasion to go up to Walter Reed and I'd see these quadriplegic, paraplegics in the gym trying to recover their lives.
01:03:35.000You know, like my sacrifice is small compared to them, but the payoff's high.
01:03:42.000Don, if the U.S. versus Peter Navarro ends well at the higher levels of court and preserves the constitutional separation of powers and executive privilege as a tool of effective presidential decision-making, I'm at peace with that.
01:04:45.000It's amazing that you just keep fighting the way you do.

01:05:13.000As you can see, even from the start of this interview, I'm just...
01:05:16.000I was shocked. I was like, hey, you know, it wasn't bitching about getting locked up by a rogue dictatorial government that's, you know, a banana republic regime in America right now.
01:05:27.000It was about, no, this is what we have to do going forward and how to fight back.
01:05:30.000And, I mean, that shows you the measure of the man, and I think that's so critical.
