Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| It's Thursday, the eighth day of April, the year of our Lord 2021. | ||
| You're in the war room from the nation's capital. | ||
| A lot going on today, particularly in the Second Amendment on guns. | ||
| We're going to have the best analyst, I think, in the business, John Lott, who is part of the Trump administration, is going to be on later in the show to go through all that. | ||
| Peter Navarro is going to join us to talk about a raft of things, everything from Wuhan to the infrastructure bill to all of it, what's happening at the border. | ||
| And to start, I want to go to Ben Berquam, Real America's Voice, crack investigative reporter. | ||
| He's in Mexico, on the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexican border. | ||
| Ben, put us in the room down there. | ||
| Where are you? | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| And why? | ||
| You're pretty good at being able to sniff out the news. | ||
| Why are you down in this location today? | ||
| Steve, we're at a place called Eagle's Nest on the US side. | ||
| It's Otay Mesa, so you might be familiar with that side. | ||
| But right here is Eagle's Nest. | ||
| This is where the cartel, it's the cartel Jalisco New Generation, has basically taken over this area since El Chapo has been ousted. | ||
| And they basically run it all. | ||
| We started down in Tijuana this morning at the camp where the leftist activists and the cartels have taken over. | ||
| And then we went to a place where this cartel has actually basically declared open war on the Tijuana police We went down to the police station and spoke to some of the police officers So that America understands this when we talk about open borders when we talk about what's behind me This is where the wall ends here. | ||
| This is where they're crossing Right when we got here, there were three Brazilians that went across. | ||
| We just spoke to immigration officials on this side. | ||
| They said MS-18 members are being captured going across as well right here. | ||
| This is where the cartel is bringing people from Tijuana, sending them across. | ||
| When we talk about open borders, The left doesn't want you to know that we're talking about cartels, we're talking about corruption, we're talking about death. | ||
| They just firebombed three police vehicles yesterday in Tijuana, and actually the police officers came up to us, they couldn't be on camera for security reasons, and they said they wanted our audience to know. | ||
| They also put up a banner that said, if you don't do what we say, we're not just gonna murder you, we're gonna kill you and your family. | ||
| This is what the left is inviting into America if we don't stop it. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| It's lawlessness. | ||
| Third world corruption, everything that goes along with it, versus what we have in America. | ||
| We take it for granted until you come over here and you get to see it firsthand. | ||
| Okay, Ben, I want to dig down on some of this. | ||
| Number one, the border's not open. | ||
| The border's open to the cartels. | ||
| They essentially control things. | ||
| But I want you to go back for a second. | ||
| El Chapo, remember, he's the guy that the Chicago Crime Commission... | ||
| announced was public enemy number one a number of years ago because of the cartels drug activity in Chicago. | ||
| The drug wars were being driven by the cartels in Chicago. | ||
| He was living in the mountains of Mexico at the time. | ||
| The first public enemy number one in Chicago since 1929 in Al Capone. | ||
| That's the power this guy has, okay? | ||
| Now, but talk to our audience about what new, when you say new generation cartel, why do they put fear In Sinaloa and these other cartels that historically have been fighting things out. | ||
| What is new generation and why is it totally different than anything we've seen before? | ||
| Well basically it's like the Mafia without the Cosa Nostra, without the rules. | ||
| These guys aren't afraid to die and they're not afraid to kill. | ||
| Anything gets in their way, they're not afraid of the police, they're not afraid of killing journalists, they're not afraid of killing anybody. | ||
| Anybody gets in their way and they're going down. | ||
| So basically all the rules, any sort of etiquette is out the window and everybody is a potential target with these guys. | ||
| It's a very sophisticated operation. | ||
| I mean, not just mobile phones, computers. | ||
| People are coming across, they've got the wristbands on them. | ||
| Walk through about how sophisticated these guys are as an industrial concern. | ||
| They are more, in a lot of ways, they are more sophisticated than the Mexican military. | ||
| That's why, you know, you look at what the, you have leftist activists in America saying, writing a letter saying that Mexico needs to stop using the military against the cartels. | ||
| The cartels oftentimes are more well-equipped with guns, they're more well-equipped with technology, their infrastructure, everything. | ||
| These guys are a high-level criminal enterprise, criminal organization. | ||
| And they operate in every area of crime, from drug trafficking, human trafficking, weapons trafficking, anything they can make money on, they will traffic it. | ||
| And in fact, we were on our way up to Mexicali, where Yemeni terrorists were caught going across earlier this year. | ||
| They will traffic anyone and anything across this border, and they have the money. | ||
| I mean, we're talking billions and billions of dollars that these organizations are making on what you see behind me. | ||
| On what they get from sending drugs and people and weapons and everything else across that border. | ||
| Ben, let's go back into the story and talk about the firebombing that took place and the confrontation they're having with Mexican authorities and what the Mexican police had wanted you to say to this American audience. | ||
| They pulled us aside and they said nobody's talking about this, the media is not reporting it, but they actually had the nerve to make a banner, this cartel, and put it out on the streets of Tijuana that said to the police, they directed it to the police, if you don't do as we say, not only are we going to kill you, but we're going to kill your family as well. | ||
| These guys came up to us, you know, it's almost like the desperation I see in our border patrol who's right across the way over here. | ||
| You know, but down here in Mexico, it's life and death. | ||
| I mean, we're not talking about you might have a bad day at the office. | ||
| We're talking about you don't go home to your family. | ||
| And these guys, they came up to us, you could see the desperation in their face. | ||
| They wanted to relay this. | ||
| These guys are bad dudes. | ||
| And it's, you know, for them, You know, you cannot imagine the level of... I was standing there across the street, and all I kept thinking was, you know, at any second, there could be a gunfight that could break out. | ||
| There could be bombs that go off. | ||
| I mean, this is, you really feel that sense of vulnerability when you're down here. | ||
| And the police, these guys, you talk about a dangerous job, try and be a police officer in Tijuana or any Mexican city, it's... I wouldn't want to do it. | ||
| That's for dang sure. | ||
| Ben, Ben Baron-Cohen joins us, the Real America's Voice investigative reporter on the border. | ||
| Talk to us about the human trafficking and the sex trafficking. | ||
| What are you seeing down there? | ||
| We, so I think we have an interview. | ||
| I don't know if we want to cut to that. | ||
| I interviewed a guy named Mario. | ||
| He's actually, he lives right across the street from the camp that I brought you to about a month ago, right there at San Ysidro Port of Entry. | ||
| That area has been basically taken over by El Otrilado, these leftist activists. | ||
| And actually, I want to go back real quick to your point about Chicago. | ||
| People don't realize the pipeline that the border is to Chicago and to major metropolitan areas across America, but in particular to Chicago. | ||
| You talk about the heart of darkness, the center of a lot of what we see, what's bad in America, the communist revolution, that's where the Black Panthers came out of. | ||
| It's also where a huge part of La Raza and groups like Pueblo Sin Fronteras, Centro Sin Fronteras, these leftist groups that are aiding and abetting the invasion into America are in Chicago and they are helping drive this traffic here. | ||
| This, but it's not only affecting America, it's also affecting Mexican citizens. | ||
| This guy, Mario, he and his mother live right across the street from that camp. | ||
| And I believe we have a short little segment for that. | ||
| Yeah, let's go. | ||
| Speaking about sex trafficking. | ||
| Yeah, hold on for a second. | ||
| Denver, if you can play the interview. | ||
| Let's go to Mario in Ben Berkram's interview. | ||

When the last caravan that was right here, they were trying to open the door. | |
| They took a long piece of metal. | ||
| The ones that the police use. | ||
| We defending ourselves. | ||
| One friend of mine dropped a block in his back and we were defending our home. | ||
| That was right here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yes. | ||
| He said, what do you want over here? | ||
| It's my property and he pulled out a piece of metal to defend himself. | ||
| The police guy was there and the police guy said, I cannot do anything but you take him out. | ||
| He said, you know, kick him, do whatever you want so they can learn their lesson. | ||
| They are not worthy to be on our land. | ||
| So hang on, the police said he couldn't do anything about it, but he said that they could as private citizens? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He said, Permit me a moment. | |
| He said the police told you to do something about why he can't do anything about stopping him. | ||
| When I was hitting him, he said, hit him. | ||
| When he was hitting him, when he was hitting the individual that he was trying to get into his property, the policeman said, kick him, kick him. | ||
| Defend yourself, defend yourself. | ||
| I'm going to go get some more food. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, Ben, I just want to make sure. | |
| This is across from where that camp was. | ||
| This is a Mexican citizen saying that it's hard for him to even protect himself, right? | ||
| This is across from the camp that's right there in Tijuana. | ||
| Right across the street, in fact, at the end, after the interview, and he goes on in that interview to say that they're raping women in the camp, and if their women refuse, MSN 18 members go in there, they're beating the women, they're threatening to kill the women, they're taking people out of the camp now, they're refusing journalists access into it unless you're part of the leftist propaganda. | ||
| In fact, they're even refusing Mexican journalists, local and national Mexican journalists in there. | ||
| This is right across the street, and he goes on in this interview, and we're going to be posting the entire thing. | ||
| Later today, but he goes on to say that it's time for the Mexican citizens to stand up against this. | ||
| They're putting our lives in danger. | ||
| It's not just affecting America. | ||
| It's affecting them directly, and it's tragic. | ||
| I mean, you're hearing it from his voice, and most of the interview, his volume was really low because the window is right there. | ||
| We're looking at the tents behind him. | ||
| Out that window you saw in the background are the tents. | ||
| And so you talk about a level of insecurity. | ||
| He's living right there. | ||
| Ben, this is going to only get worse as the weather starts to get better. | ||
| With people down on the border right now, how bad is it? | ||
| Because Washington is trying to downplay this. | ||
| The mainstream media is trying to look away from this. | ||
| You still have heroes like yourselves and others that are down there. | ||
| But where do people down there, the Border Patrol, ICE, the people on the Mexican side, the police that you know on the Mexican side, where do they think this thing starts heading? | ||
| How bad is it going to get? | ||
| I'll tell you, I spoke to one of my Border Patrol friends right across the way yesterday, and they told me that the morale in Border Patrol is at an all-time low. | ||
| They don't know what they're going to do. | ||
| These guys and gals who have put their lives on the line for so long. | ||
| And I asked them, I said, how do we fix this? | ||
| And they said, we don't know. | ||
| It's only going to get worse. | ||
| And that's the saddest part about this, is the fake news media, not only are they not telling you the truth, they're attacking outlets like ours who are telling you the truth, who are actually coming to these places and asking the questions and doing the job of journalists, the job journalists should be doing. | ||
| They're attacking us and they're emboldening the cartels. | ||
| And I ask both sides, the Mexican side and the U.S. | ||
| side, And they look at me with despair in their eyes because they don't have an answer. | ||
| They do not. | ||
| Because the administration, the regime that is in place right now, they say cannot be trusted. | ||
| I mean, it's to the point where Mario, who you just heard, said he didn't agree with President Trump on a lot of things, but President Trump was right on the border and Joe Biden is wrong on the border. | ||
| It's just beyond tragic. | ||
| I wish I had an answer for you, Steve, but it's clearly not what we're doing right now. | ||
| You know, Fauci today says, hey, we may have another surge. | ||
| CDC and Fauci are coming up with a new idea every day. | ||
| When you're on the border and about the pandemic, what is your assessment? | ||
| Are people being tested? | ||
| Are they being quarantined? | ||
| What happens if they test positive? | ||
| What's your sense in the sectors that you've been in, in the sector you're in today, of what is our handle on particularly the Brazilian strain that could be coming up? | ||
| It's funny that you ask that, so I actually spoke to Brandon Judd, President of Border Patrol Council in the US, and I asked him, I was asking him specifically about that hotel that we were at in San Juan, the roadway, roadway in down there, about the, what we had been told by Border Patrol, and the scary part to me, a couple things he said, he said, once we hand them over to these NGOs, many of the, this is what people don't understand, many of the same organizations that are in Mexico, | ||
| Enticing people to come, teaching them how to break our border sovereignty, and in many cases helping them get across illegally, are in America. | ||
| And those are the people that we're giving money to, to house these people. | ||
| He says when we hand them over, their job is to hand them over to the first safe place. | ||
| And oftentimes that's at a church or that's at a bus stop somewhere. | ||
| He says they lose complete control over them at that point. | ||
| They have no more, basically, jurisdiction over these people. | ||
| And at that point, they have not done any COVID testing. | ||
| He said in Border Patrol custody, they are not doing any COVID testing unless they're giving them directly to ICE. | ||
| But he said it's a small fraction of the people that are. | ||
| And get this... Ben, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back to you live. | ||
| Ben Berquam on the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexican border. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, for our radio and podcast audience, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do here. | ||
| I'm holding up today's New York Times. | ||
| That would be the paper of record of your beloved country. | ||
| And at the top, it's got all the different variants and what's happening in different states as now another surge hits this country. | ||
| In fact, the headline is, Contagious Variant is Fueling Surge in Infections Across the United States. | ||
| It's got all these charts, nice and color. | ||
| You can see, and we'll put this up, we'll put the front page of the Times up in the In the live chat. | ||
| Of course, down here, one of the lead stories right there, New York to provide $2.1 billion for undocumented immigrants, basically illegal aliens. | ||
| New York to provide $2.1 billion for undocumented immigrants. | ||
| COVID relief plan riles GOP and worries some Democrats. | ||
| This is money, $15,000 I think per head, because they've lost jobs. | ||
| During the they've lost jobs during the during the COVID-19, the CCP virus. | ||
| This is the 2.1 billion what they're paying for. | ||
| This is why working class people of Hispanic and African-Americans can't get wages up above 15 bucks. | ||
| You don't need to come in and say we've got to have a minimum wage. | ||
| What you got to do is restrict the illegal aliens coming to the country so we're not flooding the zone with cheap labor. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That didn't flood the education system and the health care system. | ||
| And we're not demonizing these people. | ||
| They're rational. | ||
| They're logical. | ||
| They're doing what you would do and what I would do and what Dr. Navarro would do and what Ben Burkham would do. | ||
| They're heading north, right? | ||
| Because, hey, during the COVID, you're getting $15,000. | ||
| You think you're getting a $15,000 check stroke down in Nicaragua or Ecuador or Mexico? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| And so now we've got Ben Burkwam. | ||
| I've got to go back to you. | ||
| Real America's Voice investigative reporter. | ||
| Done an amazing job on the border. | ||
| Ben Burkwam. | ||
| Ben, before I bring in Dr. Navarro, I've got to go back to you. | ||
| Brandon Judd is as good as they get. | ||
| He's the president of the Union of the Border Patrol. | ||
| First time they ever endorsed a candidate in their history was in 2016 when they endorsed Donald J. Trump. | ||
| Walk me through, you were down the other day in McAllen, I think it was, down near McAllen, at that hotel, I think a week or so ago. | ||
| Are you telling me that the Border Patrol's not testing when now you have this surge coming across the border? | ||
| They're not testing for COVID-19? | ||
| They're passing them over either to ICE or to these NGOs? | ||
| And I think ICE will tell us right up, they're not testing. | ||
| ICE is pulling back, right? | ||
| There's no real internal enforcement. | ||
| So, so what is going on? | ||
| You know, they're so worried about this, about the CCP virus, about the COVID-19, that's all they want to talk about, right? | ||
| And how messed up Trump was and how conflicting the messaging was with Trump. | ||
| What is going on at the border from what Brandon Judd has told you? | ||
| Well, and this all started, just to remind the audience, back when I had a Border Patrol agent pull me aside in McAllen and say, this is where we're sending COVID-positive illegal aliens. | ||
| We went out to the hotel. | ||
| We couldn't get a response from the hotel. | ||
| From my impression of what I saw, clearly it's where we were sending illegal aliens. | ||
| Whether or not they had COVID was what we were trying to find out. | ||
| I reached out to Brandon Drudd. | ||
| I'd reached out to several other people in Border Patrol. | ||
| And Brendan Judd got back to me and he said, I can't verify any of that because what we do, he said, we don't test, for one, we don't test anyone unless we're actually handing them directly over to ICE or they're staying within government facilities. | ||
| And most of them are not. | ||
| They said they're so overwhelmed right now, the numbers are so high right now that they're just passing through Border Patrol. | ||
| So Border Patrol captures them and it's not their purview. | ||
| It's not what they're supposed to be doing. | ||
| This is, you know, they're not a medical testing facility. | ||
| They're law enforcement. | ||
| They capture, they take these guys in and then they process them and get them out. | ||
| And what they're doing is handing them over in most cases to these NGOs, these so-called non-profits that are making billions of dollars. | ||
| And the NGOs then are supposed to be doing the testing. | ||
| He says, sometimes that happens. | ||
| Sometimes they are doing testing. | ||
| The problem is because of the ACLU, he said, because of privacy concerns, when they do a test on somebody who's here illegally, the NGOs will not tell Border Patrol the name of that person or where they came from or any personal details. | ||
| So they're, the same thing that they're trying to do with us, do the contact tracing, they do none of it. | ||
| So there is no way that we're not tracking. | ||
| Somebody comes in with COVID, they're around 10,000 other people in a facility. | ||
| We aren't processing. | ||
| They are not capturing any of that data and they're spreading it into America. | ||
| It's just, it's overwhelming. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I want you to work on this overnight. | ||
| We'll start the show tomorrow morning. | ||
| This is explosive. | ||
| I mean, this is a problem. | ||
| The government in Brazil, Bolsonaro and these guys, lost the foreign minister, lost the defense chief. | ||
| Drudge the other day says it's like the meltdown in the plant after the tidal wave, the tsunami, right? | ||
| It's worse than Chernobyl, right? | ||
| Or as bad as Chernobyl, the Brazilian variant down in Brazil. | ||
| The government's falling down there because they don't know how to control it, they have done such a poor job of doing it. | ||
| That's what the media's reporting. | ||
| My point is, that's what's coming up. | ||
| Can I give you one more thing? | ||
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| One more thing, Steve, and what Border Patrol is saying in this sector that I'm standing at right now, at the Eagle's Nest, this is where they're saying mostly Brazilian illegal aliens are crossing. | ||
| Now, it may just be coincidental, it may be anecdotal, but that's what the Border Patrol, the Mexican border officials that we just spoke to a couple minutes ago, said are crossing right here. | ||
| When he told me that, I just thought that was kind of interesting, but you know, tying back to the Brazilian strain. | ||
| Anyways, but yes, the bottom line is we are completely exposed. | ||
| Okay, fantastic report. | ||
| We're going to have Ben back on tomorrow morning. | ||
| I know Ben's going to be reporting throughout the evening at Real America's Voice, the crack investigative reporter on the border. | ||
| Ben, thank you so much. | ||
| Explosive report. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| So Peter Navarro, do I have Dr. Navarro? | ||
| So Dr. Navarro, you were in the task force. | ||
| You know, the criticism of Trump every day was, you know, you got multiple voices, you got one guy saying one thing, other people saying other things. | ||
| I don't remember at the time, I think the zero tolerance Which was humanitarian, so the cartels wouldn't control kids coming up here. | ||
| So zero tolerance, remain in Mexico, and a deal with the Frontline Nations, with the Northern Triangle, to stop the situation coming into southern Mexico was not perfect, but it worked. | ||
| This is out of control. | ||
| It was pretty darn good by the time we got the safe thirds in Mexico. | ||
| It was pretty darn good. | ||
| The northern triangle. | ||
| Let me talk a little bit about I think what we're seeing today. | ||
| I realized watching all this and trying to... Nobody connects dots in this town, in the swamp here. | ||
| That's what Bannon does on the war room. | ||
| And I realized today that we no longer have a country We don't have a republic with a president. | ||
| What we've got is a loose confederation of silos in D.C. | ||
| that are all pushing their own disparate and separate agendas without any cross-fertilization between the negative consequences That each might happen on each other. | ||
| So, for example, we've got the open border silo, kind of the AOC silo. | ||
| It's like, throw open the borders, let's just get as many illegal aliens across the border now, throw money at sanctuary cities, and eventually they'll vote for us and keep us in power. | ||
| Okay, that's one silo. | ||
| And then you got this other silo, north of the border, the healthcare bureaucracies. | ||
| It's the Fauci's who want to have six masks and four vaccines and nobody at Ranger Stadium and just lock everything down. | ||
| And that silo won't interact with the open border silo. | ||
| So you have this clash going on as this Brazilian strain is moving on. | ||
| Side note, Brazil. | ||
| If you look at my report on immigration on PeterNavarro.com, Brazil is actually a gateway for all the illegal immigration that comes from around the world. | ||
| People fly to Brazil from China, from the Middle East, and elsewhere. | ||
| So they land there and then they take the land route up because they can't get directly to Mexico or the United States. | ||
| So Brazil has become a very important conduit. | ||
| So keep going on this this theme of a confederacy of silos. | ||
| So then if you look at These bills they're calling infrastructure, which are not. | ||
| It's just a misnomer to appeal to polling. | ||
| You've got kind of like the Green New Deal silo. | ||
| And that's a silo that's huge that wants to push that agenda. | ||
| And then you have the Liz Warren-Robinhood silo, where the whole goal is to raise taxes. | ||
| It's like there's no correspondence between the amount of taxes you can reasonably raise And what's going into these so-called infrastructure bills? | ||
| I mean, Steve, the infrastructure bill has only 5% roads and highways and bridges, right? | ||
| And even if you max it up to things like ports and airports and things like that, you only get north of 15%. | ||
| So, my concern here is that with these silos operating, these classic Madisonian mischief-factions, right? | ||
| Nobody's like understanding the negative impacts they're throwing at each other. | ||
| So the open border people are going to create a tremendous problem with the virus. | ||
| The Green New Deal people are going to create an enormous problem with our fiscal situation. | ||
| And unless it buried the lead in a way, the corporate media, CNN, New York Times, All of those corporate media now are effectively serving as the press secretary for the Biden administration. | ||
| So when you go to fix the obvious election irregularities in Georgia, that's Jim Crow. | ||
| It's not the Biden administration or Jen Psaki, who is so hapless, she can't communicate that message. | ||
| It's the corporate media that comes in. | ||
| So, my concern, and we'll keep talking about this, is that we've got essentially a cocaine economy now, where it feels really good, and you feel like you're a king of the world! | ||
| But I'm telling you, man, it's gonna crash hard. | ||
| Okay, hang over a second. | ||
| The Confederacy of Dunces As Dr. Peter Navarro says. | ||
| One of the great books. | ||
| Jimmy Madison warned us about this. | ||
| The factions. | ||
| So we're going to get back into it. | ||
| And Peter Navarro is going to talk about... Peter Navarro came up with a $1 trillion infrastructure plan under Donald J. Trump. | ||
| Dead on arrival with old Mitch McConnell. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Back with Dr. Navarro and break it all down. | ||
| Ditch Mitch. | ||
| Break it all down in a second. | ||
|

|
Okay, tomorrow at 11am we're going to have Michael and Dale for the entire hour. | |
| CEO of MyPillow is going to walk through the launch of his new social media platform, Frank. | ||
| What's the timing of that and what to expect? | ||

| Also, he's going on offense. | ||
| Across the board with investigations and lawsuits, he's going to talk to you about his offense fund. | ||
| In addition, he's going to talk about this new film he's got coming out, Absolute Interference, talks about the Chinese Communist Party and their involvement. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| November 3rd, 2020. | ||
| He's like a dog with a bone. | ||
| He's not going to give up on that. | ||
| He's completely focused. | ||
| You can't go forward until you get to the bottom of that. | ||
| On that part, we agree. | ||
| We may not be as much of a machines people as he is. | ||
| We think there's enough low-hanging fruit. | ||
| The reason I think that, hey, I read and highlighted my copy of the Navarro Report. | ||
| Dr. Peter Navarro shows you, hey, you don't even need to talk about machines. | ||
| That's all option value. | ||
| It's enough there in Wisconsin, in Georgia, in Arizona to flip this to the House of Representatives of which on a state-by-state basis Donald J. Trump would now be At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, watching the Masters over four days. | ||

| You brought up the concept of Madisonian factions, Peter. | ||
| You're kind of flaunting that Ivy League education in front of me. | ||
| I'm just a trade school guy. | ||

He skipped 9th grade and went right to high school. | |
| Hang on. | ||
| In Virginia, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, James Madison is at the top echelon. | ||
| It was James Madison that conceived the Bill of Rights to make sure we can get the Constitution approved. | ||
| Did they pull down his statue, by the way? | ||
| I tell you, I'm sure it's on the short list. | ||
| I want to go back to something though. | ||
| I just want to make sure all the whining and all the gnashing of teeth and all this from all the Trump and hey, I'm the top of the list there. | ||
| All the Trump supporters supporting President Trump. | ||
| Now saying, hey, this $2 trillion infrastructure, cash only 5%, correct me if I'm wrong, Donald J. Trump and Peter Navarro had, you were talking $1.9 trillion for the original COVID bill, the fourth, I think, segment it was, back I thought it was May, but let's say June and July. | ||
| That aspect had about a trillion dollars, about 900 billion dollars or trillion dollars for aggregate demand, which his last COVID bill was. | ||
| But you had a trillion dollars in there for infrastructure. | ||
| And President Trump always put infrastructure at the top of his agenda of make America great. | ||
| Why is he in Mar-a-Lago, and what happened to that infrastructure bill, and why are we discussing and going on defense on Joe Biden's infrastructure bill? | ||
| What happened, sir? | ||
| Well, what happened at the White House, typical chain of command problem, it's like the boss wanted a $2 trillion bill, he told Mnuchin and Meadows to go cut the deal and they didn't get it done. | ||
| Now, you could blame them or you could blame Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| That's another discussion. | ||
| But if you look at the difference between what we wanted to do... Hang on, what was in his $1 trillion bill? | ||
| What was in his difference then? | ||
| Because you're whining about Biden's. | ||
| I'm going to answer your question. | ||
| I anticipated your question. | ||
| Here's the difference between the bills, right? | ||
| We had a trillion. | ||
| For what we really needed a trillion for which was help the small business get another check in the in the mailboxes of the unemployed. | ||
| And basically do what we needed to do in order to deal with the short-run macro problem of having an economy flat on its back. | ||
| Now the other trillion, this is where it gets interesting. | ||
| We had just a beautiful set of projects and the theme of it was was pure Trump. | ||
| It was to bring on shore all of our domestic manufacturing, not just for essential medicines and PPE and medical equipment, but for everything. | ||
| We had like One piece of it was going to do what Japan is now doing, which is to offer money to any American corporation in China to bring things home. | ||
| Now, you do that, and what you do is you create a strong manufacturing base that generates tax revenues, real wages rise, and that generates tax revenues, and it pays mostly for itself. | ||
| Now, the difference with Joe Biden It's basically not an infrastructure bill. | ||
| What it is, is it's a tiny portion of an infrastructure bill with a Green New Deal. | ||
| And here's the thing, Steve, I got my start at Harvard with a book called The Dimming of America in 1984, published in 84. | ||
| And what I predicted that would, because we weren't building enough new power plants, we'd have a electricity shortage. | ||
| Fourteen years later, right? | ||
| Towards the 2000s, right? | ||
| That's a pretty long trajectory, but that's how we got to think here, right? | ||
| That was exactly right, because that's what happened in California and in parts of the country. | ||
| Now, here's what I see here. | ||
| Here's the disconnect between what Joe Biden wants to do. | ||
| On the one hand, He wants to put just a ton of money in for electric vehicles. | ||
| Everybody loves that. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| No emissions, right? | ||
| But over here, you actually got to produce the electricity to make those things go. | ||
| Now, here's the problem. | ||
| We have an aging grid. | ||
| We're shutting down power plants faster than we're building them. | ||
| And in order for us to actually have enough electricity for that fleet that Biden wants to create, we're actually going to have to increase The production capacity by 20%, even as we're getting rid of 70% of the existing grid, which is carbon. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| So, that math don't work, Steve. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| I'm writing the Dimming of America Part Deux, because it just won't work. | ||
| We're going to have a bunch of electric cars with no charging stations and no juice. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| I want to go back to this, because we're running out of time, and I've got to get to these following items. | ||
| Joe Biden went to Scranton, Pennsylvania. | ||
| He's crying big crocodile tears. | ||
| He sounded like, worse than Trump, he sounded like Navarro and Bannon up there, talking about his working class roots, bringing manufacturing up in northeast Pennsylvania. | ||
| Why is any of your and President Trump's bring the manufacturing back that can create jobs so you don't have to keep giving people direct cash payments? | ||
| Is there anything in your infrastructure bill in the summer of 2020 that had bringing manufacturing supply chains back here that Joe Biden, economic populist and economic nationalist, anything in his bill that resembles that? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| We have a bunch of stuff. | ||
| My favorite part of it was to have a pot of money like Japan does, where we give investment breaks for any American company that brings their manufacturing back here. | ||
| And that's working like gangbusters in Japan. | ||
| It could have worked really, really well here. | ||
| We had Buy American provisions for essential medicines, for PPE. | ||
| That would have basically brought back all of that manufacturing. | ||
| We had some really good stuff for 5G, for example, which is like cutting-edge stuff that we need to bring back here. | ||
| The whole thrust, you know, it was a $2 billion package that Trump had. | ||
| But one billion of it, the whole theme of it, was buy American, hire American, strengthen American manufacturing. | ||
| Now contrast that with Joe Biden, and what he has is basically a redistribution bill. | ||
| Basically, he's going to give a bunch of money, he's going to take it from the middle class and the rich, and then give it to illegal aliens. | ||
| I just want to make sure, Claire, it was not bay and it was train. | ||
| It was basically two trillion, one trillion for the gap. | ||
| Yeah, it's like the original compromise, like McConnell said one trillion. | ||
| Pelosi said $3 trillion. | ||
| We're sitting in the Oval. | ||
| The boss says, let's do $2 trillion. | ||
| I'm saying, yeah, let's do $2 trillion. | ||
| Mnuchin, Meadows, a lot of other people, they're fighting it. | ||
| But the boss says, do $2 trillion. | ||
| And Mnuchin, as always, it's like, he just... | ||
| Did not obey orders. | ||
| But the Trump Trillion was a work of art. | ||
| It was buy American, strengthen American manufacturing. | ||
| Looks nothing like the Joe Biden world of redistributing income and green new deals. | ||
| And people can call him Sleepy Joan. | ||
| Look, we've mocked him enough on this and we don't have time to go through the hard drive from hell. | ||
| We are going to screen grab the Daily Mail. | ||
| The Daily Mail for Hunter Biden. | ||
| We got to get to that. | ||
| Not today. | ||
| We're going to get to that tomorrow. | ||
| We'll figure out how to get you in hopefully in the morning to talk about that. | ||
| The Daily Mail. | ||
| This is complete nonsense. | ||
| These guys had all this information. | ||
| Had all this information before November 3rd. | ||
| It's one thing to put it out. | ||
| It's got to get out. | ||
| You got to see how these guys are compromised. | ||
| You got to see how they roll. | ||
| But it's one thing to put it out on the 8th of April. | ||
| It's another thing to put it out on the 8th of October. | ||
| Big difference. | ||
| I get back to the corporate media being the press secretary for Joe Biden, the Biden campaign, and now the Biden administration. | ||
| I mean, these people are shaming, look, it's like we can't whine about it. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| It's the same thing dating back to the Nixon years. | ||
| But they're trying to take a victory lap today. | ||
| The danger is, they're going to destroy the republic doing this crap, okay? | ||
| This is not like, this is not like just a little bit of thing that we're arguing about here. | ||
| These are decisions that are being made in these first hundred days, and you can call Sleepy Joe all you want. | ||
| I think he's probably asleep all day long. | ||
| But remember, the people who work for them had eight years of experience. | ||
| They know how to get stuff done, and what they saw with Trump. | ||
| was how you, if you're bold, you can actually get stuff done. | ||
| And if we had had a second term with Donald Trump, we would have moved a lot faster than we did in that first term. | ||
| But Biden, he might be sleeping, but he's killing us with what he's doing. | ||
| We're going to have a second term, and the preamble to that term is going to start in November of 2022, when we take back the House. | ||
| We're having a second term with Trump. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, well, just remember McConnell and McCarthy gotta go, because I don't want any part of that House being Republican if McCarthy's still there. | ||
| It'd be the same old crap. | ||
| Okay, I want to go to this bill. | ||
| And by the way, if you thought that COVID-19 was, I say, the most radical piece of legislation since the mid-60s, but it came with $1.9 trillion of cash money you could spend a day. | ||
| The infrastructure is even more radical. | ||
| But the question I've got for you, as you look at it, how is this going to get financed and what is it going to do to the dollar and the balance sheet of the United States? | ||
| Dr. Navarro, you've got two minutes. | ||
| Well, first of all, it's going to wreck the balance sheet, but it's going to wreck it some more, because it's pretty wrecked right now based on what we're doing. | ||
| The problem is that we're not given time for the medicine to work, the fiscal and monetary policy. | ||
| I mean, there's like a tremendous amount of stimulus moving through the snake right now. | ||
| And if we just let it be, things would be good. | ||
| But when you overdo it, it's the Coke thing, you get kind of like Not not good. | ||
| So the way they're going to finance it is through inflation. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're just going to inflate the debt because they're they're going to try to do tax hikes. | ||
| They're going to raise the corporate tax rate from 21 to 29 percent. | ||
| Thinking that that's going to generate a lot of revenues. | ||
| And look, your audience, we're deplorables, we're working class people. | ||
| The last thing we want to do is lower taxes for Wall Street. | ||
| But when you lower the corporate tax rate in a world where you're just bringing it down lower than where it is everywhere else, that brings in investment here, and that brings in jobs, that brings in income and revenue. | ||
| So if you look at the projection, Steve, Of them raising the corporate tax from 21 to 29 percent. | ||
| It's a huge revenue Grand Canyon. | ||
| It just doesn't raise any money. | ||
| It looks like it is, but it's a shimmer. | ||
| What you get is these tax inversions, you get capital fleeing, you don't get capital coming in here, you get lower growth, and it, I mean, I don't know how many times these people have to learn this lesson, but they should have learned it during Obama-Biden, they didn't. | ||
| Rogoff tells us this time is entirely different. | ||
| Well, I get back to the silos, Steve. | ||
| I get back to the silos. | ||
| We've got a bunch of silos running around in Washington. | ||
| They do not connect the dots. | ||
| They do not understand basic economics. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| And what else is new here in this swamp? | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| We're gonna hold you over the break. | ||

| So we're going to have you break it all down tomorrow. | ||

| PeterNavarro.com. | ||
| You can download both the election report, the immigration report, Real P. Navarro on the Twittersphere, and wean yourself from that, but for now, I'm on it. | ||
| OK, thank you, Dr. Barr. | ||
| We'll see you tomorrow. | ||
| See you, brother. | ||
| OK, there's big news coming out of the White House today on guns. | ||
| And we want to talk, I think, to the top expert in the country, John Lott, author of the seminal book, More Guns, Less Crime, also worked with the Justice Department under President Trump to kind of get all this sorted. | ||
| John, what happened? | ||
| What did Biden do today? | ||
| Can you put a perspective for us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, he just Made one false statement after another about guns. | |
| I'm sure the mainstream media isn't going to be doing fact checks on it. | ||
| But I mean, it wasn't just simple factual mistakes. | ||
| You know, there's some things that I hope most people were able to spot pretty easily. | ||
| So for example, he was blaming what he called the historic spike in homicides this last year on the lack of gun control. | ||
| As far as I know, people aren't going to be able to point to any big changes that occurred last year in terms of gun control. | ||
| It wasn't some big change in gun control that caused the spike. | ||
| People know that across the country we had inmates being released in large numbers from jails and prisons. | ||
| Some places over 50% of the inmates were being released. | ||
| Police being ordered to stand down, not being allowed to respond to crimes that were occurring. | ||
| And you had prosecutors in many major areas refusing to prosecute criminals. | ||
| And so it's kind of the perfect storm. | ||
| If criminals aren't worried about getting caught or punished, they're more likely to go and do more crime. | ||
| It's not rocket science. | ||
| You will look in vain to see anything that Biden, while he was, you know, understandably upset about the high increase in murders that had occurred last year, his solution wasn't to fix any of those things. | ||
| His solution was to go and pass more gun control laws. | ||
| Unfortunately, the claims that he was making about the laws that he wanted to have everything from Closing the so-called Charleston loophole to changing liability rules for gun makers simply weren't true. | ||
| John, I mean, I want to go through some of them if you'd like. | ||
| Yeah, let's go. | ||
| Yeah, we've got like four or five minutes. | ||
| Go ahead and prioritize which ones you think are the most important. | ||
| You want to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I mean, if you just take it in terms of what Biden was saying, he was saying the most important thing for him. | |
| Was changing the liability rules for for gun makers and gun sellers. | ||
| He made the claim multiple times that gun makers are exempt from being sued. | ||
| And that's simply false. | ||
| If a gun maker makes a defective gun and somebody gets hurt by that, they can get sued. | ||
| If the gun maker breaks the law and sells a gun illegally, let's say doesn't do a background check, they can get sued. | ||
| What the law said, though, that he's upset about is that he wants gun makers and gun sellers to be sued for the misuse of guns. | ||
| So kind of an example would be for cars. | ||
| When you have 4.5 million people who are injured requiring medical care each year in automobile accidents, should somebody who was texting And getting into an accident should they sue the car makers and the car sellers for lost wages or for medical care or for pain and suffering when it's no fault of the car makers for the accident? | ||
| Those are the types of rules that he would like to have for people who produce guns and ammunition. | ||
| If you do that, you're going to put him out of business. | ||
| There's hardly any industry that can withstand that. | ||
| He made this claim about this Charleston loophole, the Dylann Roof shooting at the black church in Charleston, South Carolina, claiming that if they'd only had longer to go and do the criminal background check on him, they would have found that he was prohibited from owning a gun, and that would have stopped the attack from occurring. | ||
| Simply false. | ||
| You're banned from owning a gun if you're a convicted felon, or if you've been convicted of certain misdemeanors, or if you've been arrested and the possible prison sentence, if it's a federal crime, is at least a year or a year or more possible, or if it's a state crime, if it's two years or more. | ||
| Well, he was arrested for a misdemeanor drug offense, and the longest prison sentence that he would have faced would have been six months. | ||
| So, you know, they could have searched his record for 30 years and they wouldn't have found that he was prohibited. | ||
| Now, if they want to go and change it so that anybody who's just been arrested but not yet adjudicated on a misdemeanor charge is banned from having guns, then fine, make their argument for that. | ||
| I think what they really want is they can delay the purchase of guns with this Charleston loophole bill for 30 days. | ||
| If they want to go and argue that we should have a 30-day waiting period, fine. | ||
| Make the argument for a 30-day waiting period. | ||
| Don't cloak it in this horrible tragedy as a solution for that tragedy when it has nothing to do with solving it. | ||
| John, hang on a second. | ||
| We've got to bounce, but how do people get access? | ||
| We want to have you back on tomorrow. | ||
| We'll try to work it out with your staff. | ||
| How do people get access to you right now? | ||
| How do they get to either your Twitter, your social media, to follow your analysis of what happened today at the White House? | ||
