steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people.
unidentified
The people have had a belly full of it.
peter navarro
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved!
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
peter navarro
Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon.
I'll be here with you today till noon, Friday 10 to noon, and again Monday.
10 to noon, please mark your calendar on Friday.
We're going to do a little bit on debate prep, which I think you'll have a lot of fun with in anticipation of the throwdown on.
ABC News, a.k.a.
CNN with a tuxedo, as left as they get been doing a little research for that piece I'm doing.
And, uh, to it, I got two moderators, David Muir and Lindsay Davis.
And...
And Lindsey Davis in particular is interesting.
Can you imagine if Hannity, Brother Sean, was one of the moderators, how the Harris camp would be squealing, right?
Well, um, Lindsay Davis, she's kind of the polar opposite of Sean.
Um, Her bag.
What's her thing?
DEI.
That's her big deal, and she writes children's books for it.
She's not too left-wing.
Anyway, we'll get into that on Friday.
But today, PAX show, we're going to cover in the next block with our China correspondent, Adam Milan, the the Hockle affair.
Hockle, you say Hockle.
Let's call the whole thing off.
This is the Chinese spy, yet again, screwing the American people.
It's apropos, given my piece in the Washington Times on the seduction of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz.
Communist Chinese, they're just incessantly after us.
So we'll talk with Adam about that and get the real scoop.
And then at the bottom of the hour, I've got A.J.
Rice coming in.
A.J.
Rice is the premier Booker for folks who write books to get them on media to promote their books.
He's an author in his own right, but what we're going to do is delve deep into kind of the state of the cancel culture, the media, and how difficult it is really to get stuff out there.
Next hour, the 11 o'clock block, that one's going to be a rapid race.
We're going to talk about how housing prices are off the charts thanks to Kamala.
Delve a little deeper into this polling thing where I've never seen pollsters as whorish as they are in this particular race for some reason.
At any rate, what I want to do right now is talk a little bit about Kamala's great busing adventure.
This is kind of foreplay for what I'm going to do on Friday about the debate prep.
And you'll see why in a minute because Kamala Harris's path to the White House It's really a textbook sample of how a carefully crafted false narrative can be weaponized to win hearts, votes, and ultimately power.
What I want to do is take a very hard look at this airbrushed, poor, black kid from the Oakland hood narrative that Kamala loves to put out.
We go into our time machine back To the 2020 Democrat primaries when Harris didn't just spar with Joe Biden.
She went right for the juggler with a well-rehearsed line about busing that was designed to resonate
really deeply with voters, particularly black voters and progressives.
What she did was she invoked this emotional image of a poor little black girl who was
bused to school as part of this desegregation effort.
When you're listening to this, you're conjuring up images, you know, the classic ghetto school
where there's graffiti everywhere and crime and nobody's studying.
You know, whatever.
That's Scott.
And her punchline...
unidentified
Thank you.
peter navarro
And it was brilliant, and it was rehearsed, because anything she does that's brilliant is always rehearsed.
That little girl was me.
That was the line.
The crowd goes wild.
And Biden, I mean, he looked like he was gone forever at that moment.
I mean, the dude was just castrated.
Play the clip for me, Denver, the Biden busing clip.
kamala harris
I do not believe you are a racist.
And I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground.
But I also believe, and it's personal, and it was actually very, it was hurtful.
To hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.
And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.
And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools.
And she was bused to school every day.
And that little girl was me.
peter navarro
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Oh, were that were true, okay.
unidentified
It's just a bunch of bulls**t. Come on.
peter navarro
Harris wasn't some dirt poor kid from the hood.
Who took a freedom ride to overcome impossible odds.
She actually grew up in a privileged, middle-class Berkeley, California home.
Yes, berserkly, as we used to call it.
That Berkeley, the People's Republic of Berkeley.
That's where Kamala grew up.
Oop, I just violated my rule.
Never called her by her first name only.
Kama-chameleon grew up there.
To advance her career, what Kamala Harris has done is she's developed this Daughter of Oakland persona to distance herself from the People's Republic and thereby develop this richer black narrative.
Yeah, she was born in Oakland, but that's it.
The only thing she ever did related to Oakland, other than be born there, was put young black men from Oakland behind bars for selling nickel bags of marijuana across the bay in San Francisco, where she was a district attorney.
Now, here's what's interesting when you dive deeper, right?
It's a further shading of the Kamala Harris truth.
She bashed Biden for opposing federal busing, right?
But Berkeley's busing program was actually a local, local government initiative that faced no resistance.
It wasn't like the wars you saw in Saudi, Boston or Detroit.
Harris was simply bused I'm burying the lead.
She was bused from one integrated Berkeley school to another that may have had a slightly better academic record.
Even that's unclear.
Yet Harris's rendition of events was cynically designed to cast herself as this victim of what?
Racism!
Systemic racism!
And it's just wrong.
It wasn't anything at all like other children around this country experienced.
Bussing!
It was Berkeley!
Berkeley!
If you've ever been there, it's like a beautiful place.
unidentified
It's like...
peter navarro
As different as Sean Hannity is from Lindsay Davis, okay?
So, why does this matter?
When politicians exaggerate or selectively highlight certain aspects of their life story, it does become a matter of public trust.
Harris has built her career on a carefully crafted image that rings hollow with the reality of her middle class and privileged upbringing.
Indeed, the duality, getting a little philosophical here, the duality in Kamala Harris's narrative and embracing one part of her background while distancing herself from another raises serious questions about Harris's authenticity.
Harris has even taken to talking black English now when it's politically convenient.
It's called code switching.
You better thank a union member for sick leave!
You better thank a union member for paid leave!
to resonate with a particular audience.
As Joe Biden might say, come on, man, and play that black English clip for me, Denver.
You better thank a union member for sick leave.
kamala harris
You better thank a union member for paid leave.
You better thank a union member for vacation time.
And you all helped us win in 2020, and we're gonna do it again in 2020.
unidentified
Yes, we will.
24. Yes we will. Yes we will. Oh come on.
peter navarro
I think she thinks, because she hides from the press so much, that there's never any cameras when she gives speeches.
Karma chameleon right there, I'll tell you.
In the end, her story really is a masterclass in political image management, but it's one that should make all of us ask, who is the real Kamala Harris?
If she's willing to stretch the truth about her own life, what else might she be willing to do?
We already know at least two answers.
to that question.
Kamala will hide from the press.
She will do that.
Kamala Harris will flip-flop on every position that voters disagree with her on simply to get elected.
I came up with the Kamala flop.
A flip-flop is when you flop On only one issue, a Kamala flop is when you flip-flop on a whole bunch of issues, on every issue that the voters might disagree with you on, whether it's fracking, whether it's defunding the police, whether it's the border, whether it's any of this crap.
Here's the thing, if past is prologue, what do we know about Kamala Harris?
Whatever she tells us, she will do whatever she wants.
Whatever she wants.
And given the fact that she's a Californian that grew up in the People's Republic of California and Berkeley, Given the fact that she's embraced every woke cause and has a more liberal voting record when she was senator than even Bernie Sanders, we can pretty much guarantee, as they say in statistics, she will revert to her own radical mean.
So that's The Kamala Harris busing story.
And again, it's surprising that the legacy media, the fake news, never tells you about stuff you actually have to listen to the war room to get.
I'm Peter Kay Navarro.
We'll be right back.
Stay right here.
We're going to dive deep into the Hukou China scandal and see how it draws a direct line to Vice President Tim Walz and the influence operations.
of the Chinese Communist Party.
We'll have our special correspondent Adam Milan in.
dave brat
Stay right here.
That's right.
There's a massive amount of money that the lame duck administration is pushing hard to spend in their last few months.
If Biden can push out these funds, we could see another prolonged inflation surge, just like during COVID.
And I'm sure you remember the terrible effects that high prices had on Americans and still do.
But there's hope.
A surge in prices can be beaten.

Now, Marsha, this was sort of jaw-dropping.
unidentified
What was this all about?
Well, this is a 65-page indictment that was literally unsealed about an hour and a half ago.
And it basically charges a woman named Linda Sun, who was a top aide to both Governor Andrew Cuomo and to Governor Kathy Hochul, of trying to use her various positions in state government to help the Chinese government.
They basically accuse her of taking money in exchange for doing various things for the Chinese government and not registering under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.
But it's a very complex indictment.
Basically, one of the things that she was charged with doing was trying to prevent the New York government from doing anything to recognize the Taiwanese government.
Because, as you know, the Chinese government says that nothing should be recognized.
At one point, an assembly person asked if one of the governors could go meet with the Chinese And the phrase was, no meeting please.
Kindly declined, did not want her to invade into Chinese Taiwan sensitivity.
But there was so much money that changed hands.
Millions and millions of dollars that enabled Linda's son and her husband to purchase a $4 million home in Long Island, a $2 million condo in Hawaii, and a whole fleet of luxury cars, including a Ferrari, Wow.
Well, there they go again.
Range Rover. There was a whole numbers of things that she did, including forging, apparently
peter navarro
forging. Wow. Wow. Wow. Well, there they go again. So.
Yesterday at the five o'clock show, I was talking about how China runs these influence
operations with Americans.
Vice President candidate Tim Walz is kind of the poster child for that.
But the other thing they do is they use Their own citizens, ethnic Chinese, they're either born in the PRC and come here and do what China wants them to do, or maybe they come here with good intentions and they got parents back, their relatives, and the PRC pressures them.
Going to bring in Adam Milan.
He's our new China correspondent, speaks and reads fluently the Chinese language.
Adam, you did a deep dive on this.
Tell us Tell us what you know.
It appears that Linda's son, who worked for Hockle, and I guess Cuomo as well before that, was the influence peddler and her husband was the money launderer.
So tell us what you know.
unidentified
Right.
It's a staggering indictment.
It's 65 pages.
And for the Cuomo administration, Linda Sun worked as the Deputy Chief Diversity Officer for Andrew Cuomo.
So she had influence over personnel decisions within the New York State government.
Later, she was the Deputy Chief of Staff for Kathy Hochul.
And the operations that she ran brought in millions of dollars for her and her husband.
Her husband ran a seafood export business, and with Linda Sun's PRC contacts, exported seafood to China, you know, peddling influence.
And that was enough to buy the $4 million mansion in Long Island, the condo in Hawaii, the 2024 Ferrari Roma, the Range Rover, and the Mercedes SUV.
Also listed in the indictment are assets that were found There is a listing of $130,000 approximately in a safe
deposit box.
There's $10,000 in cash found at Linda Sun's home.
There are also bank accounts controlled by Linda Sun of approximately $60,000.
And there are also bank accounts that are under the name of one of Linda Sun's close relatives
that were opened by Chris Hu using the relative's name without their knowledge that have about
So we're talking millions of dollars of assets, hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash.
And there was a range of activities that they did.
peter navarro
Yeah.
Clarify one thing.
Is she an American?
Was she born in PRC?
Explain to the audience that.
unidentified
So she was born in the PRC, immigrated to the United States at a young age, and was naturalized as a U.S.
citizen.
She got her start around 2008 campaigning for Grace Meng, who later became a U.S.
Congresswoman.
So that was her start in politics around 2008.
And she worked for the New York State government from approximately 2012 to 2023 when she was terminated because she did so many brazen things, but one of the brazen things that she did was she, basically through an abnormal channel, had a gubernatorial proclamation made that was not official and presented it at a Chinese New Year event in New York to a Chinese official and it was found out about.
And that's how she was fired.
She did so many brazen things, but that was the, you know, basically what got her fired from the New York State government.
She was also so brazen that even after being fired, she continued to represent herself as part of the New York State government at various events.
And the New York State government actually had to send her a cease and desist letter around August of 2023, telling her to stop representing herself as a member of the New York State government.
peter navarro
How was it that Cuomo and then Hochul would hire her?
How does that work?
Is there any scrutiny there?
Any thought on that?
unidentified
I think in general, she rose through the ranks as a member of Grace Meng's staff, and she was promoted in that way.
Yeah, I think that's how she got started, was with Grace Ming.
peter navarro
Any evidence that Grace Ming is compromised?
unidentified
Well, Grace Ming is an American of Taiwanese descent, and I haven't seen any evidence directly that Grace Ming is compromised.
I just see that that's how Linda Sun first started in government.
peter navarro
And they did mention, Ned, That one of the things Sun did was basically squelch any interaction in New York with Taiwan.
That would be kind of a quintessential PRC gamble.
What else did she do on behalf of the communists?
unidentified
Yeah, that's part of it.
You mentioned the Taiwanese aspect and she squelched the relations between New York State the Taiwanese government and bragged about it to her PRC
government contacts.
She also was captured, there's a photo of her attending a protest in New York
City at the time the Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen was visiting New York and
Linda Sun was actually present at a PRC protest of the Taiwanese president's
visit. Also one aspect...
peter navarro
She was part of the protest?
Wow.
unidentified
Yes, there's a publication that has a photo of her at the protest with PRC flags all around her, protesting Tsai Ing-wen visiting New York City on her way to diplomatic visits in Central America with Taiwan's diplomatic allies.
peter navarro
I guess the story here is not just about her infiltration, but the failure of the New York political Government, part of the government, to recognize just how brazen she was.
Her husband was the bag man, right?
He was the guy that got the money?
How'd that work?
unidentified
That's right.
He had a seafood export business and he also had a wine store.
And the indictment shows that the income from the businesses was not anywhere close to enough to be able to afford the assets that they were purchasing, the homes, the cars, etc.
So he was the bag man, as you mentioned.
peter navarro
And the money, was it laundered through those businesses or just kind of appeared mysteriously in this, in bank accounts?
Do we know that?
unidentified
He laundered it.
The indictment says that he basically layered, he layered the payments through different bank accounts.
He would move, there would be money coming in from the PRC to certain bank accounts and he would move the money between different accounts that he and his family members controlled.
So he was laundering money in that way, basically trying to hide the origins of the money.
peter navarro
So I think what this stresses for me is the long-term strategy that the PRC, the Chinese Communist Party, uses to compromise things.
We got 30 seconds left.
You got one last thing you want to add and let people know how they can get a hold of you?
unidentified
Sure, it can be found on New Century.
It's newcentury.substack.com.
And I would just say that if the PRC is willing to invest this much in a member of a governor's staff, think of how pleased they must be with their investment in Tim Walz.
With, you know, 30 trips to China, educational travel adventures, the firm that he founded to bring students to China nearly every year during the 1990s up to 2003, the international fellowship that he had at the Macau Polytechnic Institute.
As you mentioned in the piece, he is a Manchurian candidate and he can't be trusted to put America first as the Trump administration has done.
peter navarro
This time it matters who's on the vice president ballot.
Adam, great job.
We'll be right back.

peter navarro
Hey, Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon.
We are in the war room.
It's my pleasure to bring in A.J.
Rice, kid from Philly, looks like he's an English rock star here today, which is all good, but we're going to talk about a very serious subject which is how The media here in America, supposed to be a democracy with a lot of free speech and a free press, has basically segmented into a relatively small number of media outlets, TV, print, that
We'll listen to conservative voices and then a very large legacy fake news media, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, Axios, Bloomberg and the like.
And how, as opposed to days of yours, very difficult For a guy like AJ to do his job, which is to help authors, conservative authors, sell books.
So AJ, welcome to Bannon's War Room.
Why don't you just tell folks a little bit about what you do and some of the...
Some of your famous clients, as it were, and then we can get down to the bottom of this discrimination in the media and why it matters in an election year in particular, brother.
unidentified
Brother Peter, great to be here.
So some of the famous people, I mean, you're one of my famous people.
I have done... Oh, stop.
I have done publicity for... Almost famous.
peter navarro
Come on.
Almost famous.
unidentified
Yeah, you got it.
I've run the gamut.
Everyone from Judge Jeanine to Donald Trump Jr., MTG, Carrie Lake, you, Paul Manafort.
I mean, I go on and on.
And I work with a lot of the different handprints.
peter navarro
Did you do Lewandowski in Boston?
unidentified
I did.
I did two of David and Corey's books.
Didn't melt.
But again, that was when David and Corey, and I see Corey's out there now a little more because he's back in the bullpen.
But even then, it was sometimes hard to break them through.
That's a couple years ago, right?
So when you talk Nothing new that, you know, Jake Tapper is not going to put Navarro or Bannon on the show.
I mean, even in the old days, Tom Brokaw would bring Limbaugh in on special occasions like a Limbaugh, you know, minstrel show for his fancy friends and try to get one over on Rush.
It would never work.
But, you know, there's not a long history of our people being able to break through with the dinosaur mainstream media.
And it's just there's just not.
peter navarro
AJ, when did Fox go over to the dark side and stop hearing conservative voices?
unidentified
Well, you know, with Fox and Newsmax and some others that are right of center, You know, in particular with Fox, everything changed with the Dominion lawsuit.
I mean, everything.
Yeah.
They have become... I mean, look, we love Fox.
I mean, Ingram, Headseth, Jeanine... Hang on, hang on, hang on.
peter navarro
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
When you say we, you say I love.
We do not share that view on The War Room because they screw us every day.
unidentified
Well, here's what I'll say.
At Publius PR, I will say that, you know, there are some good people over there, but they're inside of a controlled system.
Okay?
And the controlled system, you know, is a publicly traded company that has advertisers.
And, you know, there are... Peter, remember when the third rail was Social Security?
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the third rail is now January 6th.
Vaccines.
Sometimes chacha, sometimes trans, and absolutely election integrity.
So if you want to talk about those things, you're out.
peter navarro
You can't talk about trans.
You're telling me that the trans issue is a red line on Fox?
unidentified
I think with some of the topics it can be, because the trans mafia is out there to whack people, and they do it using advertisers, pharmaceutical companies.
You know this, this audience knows this.
Hospitals and pharmaceutical companies and drug companies are making a killing on these trans drugs.
No different than Moderna and Pfizer, right?
It's the same thing.
No different than the phony global warming studies that get funded.
So when it comes to science, you have to trust the right kind of science if you're going to be on certain types of media out there.
peter navarro
Yeah.
Yes.
Or the left kind of science, I guess it would be, right?
The Fauciites of this world.
So that's interesting.
So you don't think it's kind of the liberal orientation of Fox itself, the Lachlan Murdoch thing or anything like that.
You just think that they're dancing to the tune of the people who advertise there.
Is that basically it?
unidentified
Well, I don't think there's any doubt that it's a combo of both.
I mean, these guys, the Murdoch boys, you know, they are, I mean, look, Roger Ailes is gone.
You know, they shot Tucker in front of everyone, and they shot Tucker in front of everyone, because if you're gonna kill the king, you need to make sure everyone sees it.
Because once they see it, you get sort of trickled, you get trickled down fear.
And then everyone self-corrects, everyone auto-corrects, right?
So that's the same thing.
Newsmax has got a situation going on with Smartmatic.
We'll see what happens there.
But, you know, when they took Tucker out and they kind of made him stronger, almost like Godzilla, when you zap him, he got bigger.
Kind of like what happens with Trump.
Frankly, it's what happens with you, Navarro.
I mean, look, let's be honest.
This audience knows this.
Navarro, some of these media outlets, you had to get arrested for these media outlets to call you back or to reach back out to us.
peter navarro
I'll do anything, man.
I'm shameless.
Let me see.
Let me see.
I got to sell this book.
Okay.
unidentified
Yeah.
peter navarro
Put me in prison.
unidentified
Exactly.
Exactly.
peter navarro
Yeah, there is that.
I mean, it is kind of funny.
That's the only way.
That's the only way.
I got on Fox like twice over that issue.
But the thing about it is, here's the thing.
It's like we've got a situation now.
We're the Federal Bureau of Intimidation.
It's like, here's the analogy.
You got all these like, OK, there's a lot of good guys at the FBI, but they keep their mouth shut when the bad guys do all sorts of things to intimidate the Trump folks and just, you know, school board parents and stuff like that.
We got the same thing going on.
I mean, we know that Laura, Jesse, Sean, Jeanine, the Duffeys, a few others at Fox.
unidentified
Sure.
peter navarro
They're very supportive of Donald Trump, but they don't, they don't speak out just as the FBI agents don't speak out.
Cancel culture in Fox's case is in effect.
I mean, there's certain folks, me, Don Jr., others can't get on Fox, even in the middle of a campaign when they should be putting Any Trump surrogate on simply because they can and I just I don't know do these anchors Can you just say well, they're there.
It's their job.
They're trying to make a living They don't want to rock the boat or you think they should speak out AJ.
I mean, what what's your thought on this?
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, they're all gonna, look, they're gonna protect their livelihood.
You know, I mean, they've all got shows.
They've watched O'Reilly go, they've watched Megyn Kelly go, they've watched Tucker get assassinated.
peter navarro
Okay.
unidentified
So, you know, they're, I mean, that's gonna happen.
But, but look, look, their existence is what allows for shows like this to exist.
Because, you know, there is a good, look, there's a good amount of people that watch this audience when they look at Yeah.
Other places too, they see the WWE, right?
They see Monday Night Raw happening, which is a controlled system.
I mean, here's one thing your audience might not know.
News Corp owns Fox, News Corp also owns HarperCollins.
And in recent months, let's say the last 12 months, Fox News has done its best to really only promote
in-house books that are coming from Harper, okay?
So, and that's not just War Room Books, or Skyhorse, or Post Hill Press, which is my publisher, or Regnery, or others.
They won't even allow, in some cases, some of the other sort of mainstream publishers, if their authors want to come on, if they're issue experts, sometimes even if they work at Fox themselves, to flash their books on the screen.
So it's more than just keeping the untouchables like you and Don Jr. off.
In some cases, it's people that aren't even touching the third rail because they're not
Harper authors.
They can't come on Fox News.
Or at least if they're going to come on, they're not going to flash their book up.
peter navarro
They're not.
Fox is not a news organization.
It's simply a business, I think is what you're saying.
They use their media platform to make a ton of money.
So they sell conservative messages to build a conservative audience, and they use that audience to buy the books their subsidiaries publish.
Tell me why, though, CNN, MSNBC have become more hardline about not entertaining voices from the middle or right anymore.
What's going on there?
Is it just Orange Man bad kind of craziness or something else?
unidentified
Yeah, two quick points.
On the Fox thing, look, I'm a marketing guy and I can tell you, the people that are placing ads on Fox, they're cut from the same cloth that thought it was a good idea to put, you know, the trans mafia in a bathtub drinking Bud Light.
I mean, that, you know, that's what they thought.
Dylan Mulvaney.
These are the same people.
They're cut from the same broke cloth, right?
And as it relates to CNN and MSNBC, let's be honest.
Since the OG from the Golden Escalator showed up, he has broken people.
He broke the Bushes, the McCains, the Clintons, the Obamas, and he broke CNN.
He broke MSNBC.
There's no going back.
They have lost their mind.
Yes, he broke them, not just because of him, but because of all of us.
Yeah.
They don't like the movement.
And that's why you've got two phony impeachments and four phony indictments.
Because Donald Trump broke them.
COVID broke some people, but Trump broke even more people.
And Humpty Dumpty can't put the pieces back together again.

The OG down the escalator.
What was that?
I love that.
That's a war room thing.
The OG down the escalator.
unidentified
He is!
Hey, we've got to take a quick break.
peter navarro
AJ, we're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back and get you out of here in a few minutes from that break.
Stay right here.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
peter navarro
Hey, Peter K. Navarro here in the war room with one of the most powerful people that
you haven't heard much about, but he behind the scenes.
He's tremendous in terms of getting out message is for all of the conservative authors you have heard about.
He's got his own book.
It's called White Privilege Album.
You can check it out at whiteprivilegealbum.com, whiteprivilegealbum.com, AJ Rice.
AJ, I want to finish up this segment.
You're essentially a guru on this whole woke-ism.
I want to have you flesh that out a little bit in terms of how you think this issue is going to come into the election.
Obviously, economy and the border are at the top of the list.
Kamala Harris wants to do abortion, abortion, abortion.
Where does the woke thing fit in, particularly in the battleground states?
unidentified
Sure.
Wokeism is essentially, you know, I've tried to put together a unified theory of wokeness.
It's hard because it's a target-rich environment.
And every day, it's like the Crayola 64 box with the craziness that is erupting all around us.
But if you look at the last, at least, you know, since this presidential election began, there's no doubt, and I believe this, that Trump, you know, got elected in 16 and stays as popular as he is because he pushes back against Cultural Marxism and political correctness, whether it's in trade or China, whatever it is, and obviously the culture.
He's a cultural figure.
RFK Jr.
is a cultural figure, and I believe part of the reason he was popular is because he pushes it back against Cultural Marxism and political correctness.
You saw Vivek out there.
He's another guy, a sharpshooter.
We've worked with him.
And again, he was popular because he pushed back against these things.
So I believe there is a majority of voters in the United States They've had it with the cancel culture.
They've had it with the trans mafia.
They've had it with all this talk about white privilege, which, you know, in its core, Peter, when you hear that term, they're talking about three things.
They're talking about Western civilization, they're talking about the middle class, and they're talking about the nuclear family.
And guess what?
That doesn't have a color.
So yeah, I'm being glib and funny by calling the book the white privilege album, But Western civilization doesn't have a skin color.
The nuclear family doesn't have a skin color.
So they are, and the left is trying to take those things from us.
I mean, Black Lives Matter said it on their website.
So that's what this election is about.
It's about preserving the West, the nuclear family, and the middle class, because the cultural Marxists know all three of them have to go for them to basically overthrow not only the United States, but our culture.
peter navarro
AJ, do you think that issue reaches beyond the MAGA and Republican base into the independence that Trump needs to bring home to get over the top on November 5th?
unidentified
Absolutely.
I think, you know, I think the suburban America has had it.
I think wokeism follows these people home through their children's textbooks.
And look, paging Liz Cheney, there is a true insurrection out there, okay?
And it's an insurrection of parents, a rebellion of parents, okay?
Don't tell crying Adam, but there is an insurrection happening.
And it's parents trying to take back their culture and their schools.
peter navarro
It's frightening to me that you can go to a school board meeting, speak up about reading, writing, arithmetic, and the next day have the FBI, Federal Bureau of Intimidation, knock on your door.
I just, I mean, Do you have any sense, when you research on this, how this wokeism got started and what percentage of the population actually embraces it?
It seems like it's minority rule these days where a small handful of powerful people are imposing these ideologies on us.
Thoughts?
unidentified
That's right.
Well, look, you know, it goes back 100 years because it starts with, you know, philosophers pre-World War I. But what I'll tell you is it's not new.
It spins up every once in a while.
It is political correctness and cultural Marxism.
And I think you're right.
It's the tyranny of the minority.
You know, they're demanding the Black National Anthem.
Well, only 13% of the United States are African Americans.
And I think there is a little cultural intifada happening in a certain age demo in the United States, where they're pushing this stuff.
And quite frankly, the people in charge are afraid of their own employees.
I mean, look, Dave Chappelle had employees at Netflix in the parking lot protesting his comedy routine.
And let's be honest, Dave Chappelle is a Democrat, black guy from Washington, D.C.
He's not exactly, you know, Shelby Steele or Ben Carson.
So they're after a lot of people, even people of the left, even Rogan or Bill Maher.
And they all know that when the firing squad comes, we're all going to be up against the wall together.
I just wish more Democrats would speak out You know, beyond Elon and Tulsi Gabbard.
Because we need them in this fight.
We absolutely need them.
A.J.
peter navarro
Rice, I want to encourage everybody to go to whiteprivilegealbum.com.
I love working with this guy.
He gets stuff done in what I like to call Trump time, which is as quickly as possible without losing Any efficiency.
A.J.
Rice, whiteprivilegealbum.com.
Thank you, A.J.
Look, in the next hour, we are also packed.
We're going to talk about the importance of getting out the vote.
We're going to have Mark Mitchell come in and debunk some of this crazy poll numbers we're seeing.
I got the Financial Times here with housing affordability reaching an international issue and we're going to do little stuff with tax notes.
All right, we'll be right back.
