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 at all these networks lying about the people.
unidentified		The people have had a belly full of it.
		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?
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼		MAGA Media. 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. Bamm.
		I've been covering the border for four years.
		And so I know this is not a problem that started with your administration.
		Correct. But there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration.
		As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump.
		Was it a mistake?
		To loosen the immigration policies as much as you did.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		It's a long-standing problem.
		And solutions are at hand.
		And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions.
unidentified		What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place?
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		I think... The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem.
unidentified		Okay? But the numbers did quadruple.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		And the numbers today, because of what we have done, we have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half.
		We have cut the flow of fentanyl by half.
		But we need Congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem.
unidentified		One of the old saws is they just want somebody they can have a beer with.
		So would you like to have a beer with me so I can tell people what that's like?
		Now we asked ahead of time because I can't just be giving a drink to the Vice President of the United States.
		You asked for Miller High Life.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		I'm just curious. Okay, the last time I had beer was at a baseball game with Doug.
unidentified		Okay, so cheers. There you go.
		Ooh. That tastes like the beautiful city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
		The champagne and beers. There you go.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		Have you no empathy, man?
unidentified		No, for the suffering of other people.
unidentified		Have you no sense of purpose?
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		You know, I think she could have just won the election if she burped after that.
		Colbert. Colbert, you're pathetic, dude.
		You are like a pimp in your cheap suits basically letting the American people suffer.
		And you have no friggin' clue, man.
		You're in your little comedy world with Jon Stewart and you didn't ask anything.
		Um... What I want to do now is dive into this mental impairment issue, because that woman...
		There's something off with her, as President Trump said.
		There's something way off.
		And for 25 years, I taught MBA students in a highly interactive Socratic style, following the Harvard Business School case.
		And my goal was not only to teach my students the intricacies of economics in a business environment, I also wanted to help them think much better in dynamic situations by regularly putting their feet to the fire and brains to the fire.
		Kamala Harris could well have benefited from such training.
		Behind her toothy grin and joyful facade, Harris presents as someone incapable.
		You've seen it. I've seen it on her feet.
		Overscripted, over-rehearsed, inflexible, even rigid in her responses.
		Curiously, the non-improvisational nature of the Harris persona wasn't entirely obvious during the Harris-Trump debate.
		Harris was so well scripted and so well rehearsed after weeks of preparation that she seemed smooth and natural in both her delivery No matter what question she was tossed, it continues to this day.
		Harris responded off-point and with the same kind of scripts she had memorized for the debate to the point.
		Where even fangirl interviewers like MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhl noted Harris's evasiveness and lack of specificity.
		Today, with less than 30 days to the most important presidential election in decades, Kamala Harris continues to doggedly refuse to hold even a single press conference.
		Now, she's sitting down for some interviews, but not what's normally expected of presidential candidates.
		She's going to Stephen Colbert.
		That's not an interview, folks!
		Colbert, you are not an interview.
		Beer. Come on, dude.
		Something's going on here, and candidate Donald Trump thinks he knows what.
		In quintessential Trumpian fashion, he lobbed the mental impairment charge.
		Immediately, heads exploded across the liberal diaspora, and predictably so.
		Even those Trump Republicans, known for their pearl-clutching ways, like who?
		You know what I'm talking about here.
		Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham publicly castigated Trump for going too far.
		Yet, behind Trump's incendiary charge is a sobering question worth exploring now in the cold light of a West Wing day.
		Here it is. Write this down.
		It's the way Kamala Harris thinks, processes information, interacts with people, avoids the press, and makes decisions likely to make her a bad, perhaps even dangerous president.
		At least some semblance of an answer may be found in how modern psychology describes some of the various cognitive styles associated with Harris's observed behavior.
		For example, Harris's over-scripting and heavy reliance on rehearsed responses may simply be what is a well-traveled technique to manage performance anxiety.
		Such anxiety would be consistent with Harris's frequent nervous cackles.
		Similarly, Harris's strong need to prepare and control social interactions mirrors a cognitive style that seeks to avoid embarrassment or failure.
		This is going to blow your mind.
		Think about what happened when Vice President Harris received an invitation to dinner in April of 2022 at the home of DC News mogul David Bradley.
		Now, Axios reported this story.
		It's probably the best thing Mike Allen did.
		He probably got his wrist slapped for doing it, unless Jill Biden planted the story, but that's another story.
		Harris Was so socially anxious about this dinner, this informal salon-style affair with journalists and newsmakers, that she had her staff organize a highly unusual mock dinner to help her prepare.
		Staffers even acted as the mock dinner participants so Harris could practice interacting with the group.
		You cannot make that up.
		Now, Regardless of how one might seek to categorize Harris' various behaviors, over-scripting, over-rehearsing, nervous cackles, reluctance to take questions, anxiety in social and performance settings.
		The question again for voters now is whether Harris' cognitive makeup would make her a bad and perhaps even very dangerous present.
		Yes! Yes!
		Hell yes! Hell yes is my unequivocal answer.
		Based on my four years in the White House watching the master of improvisation, Donald Trump, interact with hundreds of business and labor leaders, foreign dignitaries, hostile journalists.
		Hey John Carl, how are you buddy?
		Other politicians?
		And his own cabinet officials and staff in venues as near as the West Wing Cabinet Room and as far away as a G20 meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
		Here, I can tell you that no American president can possibly rely on well-rehearsed scripts either to interact with world leaders or respond to rapidly moving events.
		The world is simply too complex for that.
		Indeed, any president that lacks the ability to think on his, or in Kamala's case, her feet, in dynamic situations, and improvise accordingly, is likely to needlessly drag this nation into all manner of economic and geopolitical troubles, and possibly, possibly war itself.
		To give this context, imagine a bar joke that begins with this.
		The American president walks into a bar to negotiate with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
		Of course, we know what the punchline was with President Donald Trump.
		Putin stayed out of Ukraine.
		Xi Jinping left Taiwan alone, Kim Jong-un halted his nuclear bomb and missile tests, and the Ayatollah and his Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi proxies did not invade Israel.
		In contrast, the Kamala Harris we have seen so far Overscripted, over-rehearsed, can't think on her feet, mock dinners, non-improvisational.
		She'd have no idea, no idea, how to handle any of these world leaders.
		Nor would she be able to readily adapt to the almost daily crises that come across a president's desk.
	Instead, Kamala Harris would be beholden to her handlers and speechwriters.
	Hey, none of them, none of them will have been elected by the American people.
	None of them who are going to put words in Kamala Harris' mouth ever got a single vote from the American people.
	That's how this goes so wrong in Washington.
	Biden... Harris puppets!
	And by the way, having attended my share of state dinners in the East Wing and watched Donald Trump effortlessly feat world leaders, my own head exploded when I actually learned of Harris' mock dinner to prepare for a mere media mogul and a few dime store reporters.
	Hey, 99% of the reporters today are all dime store reporters.
	It's a shame. It's another story.
	Here's my abiding two points.
	Lord knows, it's time we talk more about Harris' likely performance as president in public squares like these.
	And it's well past time for Kamala Harris to, as they say, meet the press.
	Mentally impaired? Off?
	You betcha.
	You betcha. Instead of having a sober conversation about this in the media, because this is very serious business, I'm telling you, again, it's like there's not a lot of people who could write these words, talk these words, With credibility.
	But I was in the White House for four years.
	Don't forget that, Posse. One of three people who survived in the White House as a senior advisor.
	I watched Donald Trump in the Oval Cabinet Room, Roosevelt Room, Air Force One, Buenos Aires, Osaka.
	I mean, that dude can talk to anybody Get hit with any kind of thing that he might not be prepared for, and he knows how to handle it.
	Kamala Harris can't do that.
	Look, we had an infirm, mentally challenged Biden, and now we have somebody who we might get in the Oval Office who is in a psychological straitjacket.
	Is she mentally impaired?
	In a bad way for normal life?
	No. To be president of the United States, that woman is not fit in any way imaginable for office.
	Navarro for Bannon will be right back with Adam Milan to talk about...
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		Devorah for Bannon, you are in the war room.
		Today's theme, based on a report I just released today on how Kamala Harris's policy agenda is resulting in a decline in the energy and manufacturing sectors in the key battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan.
		North Carolina.
		There's all the details you need, particularly if you are in those states.
		I want you to download the report and get it to every voter you know in those states.
		www.substack.com forward slash Navarro will do it, or up on the screen, you'll see a chyron, which you can go to.
		The other alternative is go to the Washington Times today, read my article on Kamala Harris' attack on the manufacturing industry.
		What we want to do now is bring in one of the co-authors in my new MAGA Deal book who wrote a beautiful chapter on energy and he's read the report.
		Dave Walsh wants to reflect on the report.
		Dave, welcome back once again to the War Room.
		Talk to me a little bit about the report and what's your takeaways.
dave walsh ▲ ● ▼		Well, Peter A., great to be on today.
		The report is right on target.
		These guys, via their energy policies, are anti-manufacturing, Vice President Harris, the Biden-Harris team, anti-manufacturing, and the basic core manufacturing, especially of core products.
		Let me list a few, just a few.
		Refining, pulp and paper, cement, basic steelmaking, specialty steelmaking, petrochem, chemical manufacturing, auto manufacturing, aluminum smelling.
		Phosphate production, remelding steel like Nucor steel, recycling, older steel to make new steel, major hospitals, not manufacturing, all massively dependent on base load, continuous duty, 24 hour a day electricity.
		They're all about shutting that down.
		Even Jamie Dimon and Larry Fink in the last 60 days have mentioned, we can't have server centers, we can't have AI in this country without continuous duty, base load electricity.
		Not wind and solar. Solar operates four to five hours a day only in most markets and intermittently so.
		Wind on ground operates about seven and a half hours a day and also intermittently so.
		That stuff is grossly inadequate in terms of power generation to support manufacturing.
		It just doesn't work because it doesn't provide 24 hour a day base load electricity needed.
		Just a couple weeks ago, Microsoft announced co-authoring the restart of the Three Mile Island nuclear to the reactors at Three Mile Island with Constellation to give themselves a full gigawatt of power to run a major, major AI server center up in central Pennsylvania, taking advantage of 24-hour-a-day nuclear power.
		So the fact of the matter is these guys for the last four years have been all about shutting down oil exploration, natural gas pipelines and exploration on federal lands, offshore.
		They've kiboshed exportation of natural gas.
		They've blocked all production of natural gas and oil, which have had the effect of beginning to ramp up electricity prices.
		Electricity is now 31% more expensive than it was when they were sworn in.
		Why? Because they've installed at a huge, huge cost, incented utilities to install at a massive cost.
		Solar, five times more capex per kilowatt hour.
		Wind, six times more capex per kilowatt hour.
		Offshore wind, 11 times more costly than normal generation, conventional gas fired.
		Offshore wind also 11 times more costly.
		So as we're installing all of this part-time stuff at a cost that's about, in the aggregate, four times higher, That flows into rates.
		High electricity cost, high energy cost means less manufacturing.
		And the announcement by their EPA that all gas plants, state-of-the-art combined cycle, clean power plants must have carbon capture systems or be converted to hydrogen fuel, which doesn't exist today, by 2035, which would be a cost of $4 billion per power plant.
		Once that gets into rates, we'll be in the same place as Europe.
		Europe now four to five times higher per capita electricity cost in here will be in the same place.
		Manufacturing will be compromised badly because all this stuff I mentioned, and of course server centers and data centers, as Fink and Diamond have pointed out, are totally dependent on constant electricity, not part-time electricity.
		They're out there with this.
		So, no, these guys are notoriously anti-manufacturing.
		Especially of core manufacturing products, wanting to see all that transition to BRICS nations.
		Because, you know, there's an argument that even the manufacturing itself produces CO2, so we can't really, you know, we can't really be doing manufacturing because it produces CO2 in many of the processes we've talked about.
		That's how insane these policies are.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		Well, Dave, one of the genius insights I thought in the J.D. Vance massacre of Tim Waltz debate was the point that when we shut down the cleanest facilities in the world here in the U.S., the coal power plants and some of these other gas-fired plants, when we do that...
		We therefore shift that load to the dirtiest countries in the world, principally communist China, which is building probably 30 coal plants for every one we shut down here.
		I mean, it's just overwhelming us.
		And somehow, I think the Biden-Harris people seem to think that the United States sits here and there's kind of walls up around our airspace or something, and that if we somehow shut down things here, that's going to solve the problem.
		It's infinitely worse.
		Tell us, do me a favor, one of the things I try to do in the report is do like a checklist of the specific policies that Harris has supported that are affecting manufacturing and energy negatively.
		Can you just kind of, for the posse, go through kind of a list of that as you can?
dave walsh ▲ ● ▼		Well, again, Vance hit the nail on the head.
		For example, China today, 61% dependent on coal-fired electricity generation.
		They're building and permitting, as we speak, 400 new plants with the goal and objective of being the dominant manufacturer in the world supported by low-cost, abundant low-cost energy.
		All of these industries that they've basically through two key policy initiatives.
		One is the blockage of oil and gas production, natural gas and oil on federal lands, offshore, putting a kibosh on the permitting for new LNG exports, which by the way is $160 billion a year.
		Export value product in our already trillion-a-year shortage in the balance of trade.
		Natural gas exports have been a huge boon to the economy.
		As a major, major export, they've stopped that.
		One of their policies, they've stopped that for a 16-month timeout of environmental study
		that is permitting new LNG facilities to export, to manufacture, create and export natural
		gas in liquefied form.
		They've stopped that.
		They've also mandated that the combined cycle plants that have been the bulwark, the nation
		has in the last 15 years reduced CO2 per megawatt hour by 43% in electricity production by shifting
		some coal-fired power to combined cycle, state-of-the-art, clean, natural gas-fired power.
		They want to impose the requirement they have imposed through the EPA dogma by 2035.
		All of these 600, 700 major combined cycle plants either adopt carbon capture technology at 4 billion a pop, 4 billion a power plant, or at about the same number somehow convert to hydrogen fuel, which the infrastructure doesn't exist to make hydrogen nor store it today in those kinds of quantities.
		Those capital costs would take electricity to 50, 60 cents a kilowatt hour and further eradicate any opportunity to manufacture anything.
		Manufacturing heavy products and component-level products, core products for the economy, all the ones I listed, steel, specially steel, chemicals, phosphate, everything, are heavily, heavily electricity-dependent.
		Low cost and abundant and continuous, running all of the time.
		Solar and wind don't do that.
		Their policies have been a disaster for manufacturing.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		It puzzles me how Pennsylvania could even be close.
		When you look, as I did in this report, at major job centers in Pennsylvania, It's astonishing.
		Sure, it's the fracking. Everybody knows about that.
		You mentioned nuclear. I think they have the largest nuclear generation set of plants in the country, or it's right up there in the top two or three.
		They've got that going on.
		And they're a manufacturing powerhouse as well.
		Yet people don't understand, Dave, exactly what you told them.
		Do me a favor. How can people reach you and follow what you're doing, sir?
dave walsh ▲ ● ▼		Just build on what you said.
		Oh, by the way, this is unbelievable.
		I'm from Pittsburgh in my lifetime.
		Shell Oil. Shell Oil built a massive refinery in Pittsburgh just two years ago.
		It employs 3,000 people.
		These guys want that shut down because it emits CO2. We did that.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		Dave, Trump, I was personally involved in negotiating to make that thing happen.
		They want to shut it down.
		We've only got 20 seconds left.
		Quick question. How many power plants, coal plants does China have now compared to how many we have?
		How many more are they building?
dave walsh ▲ ● ▼		They're building and permitting, as we speak, 400 more.
dave walsh ▲ ● ▼		61% of their electricity mix is coal, and they have operating eight times the number of coal plants that we do.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		You're the man, and nobody knows more about this subject than you do, sir.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		We appreciate it. We'll be right back.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Stay right here. With a massive tax hike proposed by Harris, an almost 40% top income tax rate, 7% increase to the corporate tax, a capital gains tax on unrealized gains, and the fact that she's proposing to add almost $2 trillion to a current $2 trillion deficit.
		You might be thinking it's time to make more of your savings tax sheltered and inflation sheltered.
		This is where I trust the good people at Birch Gold to help you.
		Birch Gold will assist you in converting an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.
		And the best news, you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
		Just text the word Bannon to 989898 and get a free info kit on gold.
		There's no obligation, just information on fortifying your savings before the crazy times really hit.
		With an A-plus rating, with a better business bureau, and thousands of happy customers, you can trust Birch Gold, too.
		Text Bannon to the number 989...
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		Navarro, in for Bannon.
		The theme of the day is Kamala Harris's policy agenda and the decline of manufacturing and energy in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan.
		And it's hair-raising.
		When I did a deep dive on this, wrote this report just out today.
		You can get it at... Substack.com forward slash Navarro or I guess peternavarro.substack.com.
		Look at the chyron if you're watching this in real time.
		I really urge you to download the report, read it, and if you live in one of those battleground states, send it to a friend.
		Or if you know somebody in those battleground states, email the PDF to a friend because...
		It's really important to understand that at the grassroots level, the damage, this is like termites in the American house that Kamala Harris and her policy agenda is doing.
		Dave Walsh just beautifully explained chapter and verse all that's going on.
		And of all the states I look at, I mean, Arizona is absolutely getting hammered.
		That story there is amazing, particularly like what they're doing to aluminum and copper.
		In Arizona.
		But when you go over to Pennsylvania and look at how...
		Look, Michigan's Detroit Motor City.
		Pennsylvania's Steel City.
		Pittsburgh. Just hammered.
		I want to bring in Adam Milan now.
		He did an article for his Substack that takes a deep dive on this proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel, the iconic steel company in this country, by Nippon Steel.
		Adam, welcome to the War Room, sir.
		Tell us what you found out and what your thoughts are on this merger, proposed acquisition.
unidentified		Thank you, Dr. Navarro.
		I co-authored this piece with Joanna Wisher, President Trump will keep U.S. steel American-owned and American-made.
		And basically, as the report cites, as you were quoted in an interview, this is a deal that is bad for America.
		President Trump has pledged to keep U.S. Steel American-owned, and Nippon Steel is in the process of buying U.S. Steel, which is an iconic pillar of America's industrial base.
		And this represents a clear and present national security threat that is opposed by rank-and-file steelworkers, as well as the United Steelworkers Union.
		Nippon Steel, according to Horizon Advisory's Horizon Advisory's report owns operations in China and transfers production and technology expertise to China's steel industry, which directly supports China's defense industry, which is threatening the United States and the rest of the world.
		So this is a deal that's bad for America.
		It's also a deal that's bad for American steelworkers.
		Steelworkers are worried about whether if Nippon Steel takes over U.S. Steel, if they'll keep their jobs, if they'll keep their benefits, and if steel will continue to be made in the United States at U.S. Steel.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I guess there's some thought that you could eliminate American competitors just by shutting them down, buy them, and over time, say that they're not cost-effective or efficient, and then you just shut them down.
		When you mentioned that Nippon Steel operates in communist China, is it the case, as I've
		seen, that it operates in Xinjiang, some facilities or helps China do steel in Xinjiang, which
		is, I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right, but where they have all the slave labor and
		the terrible mistreatment of the Falun Gong?
unidentified		Well, Joanna Wisher, I believe, has done a lot of research on this, and my understanding
		is that there is a connection there.
		I have seen reports that Nippon Steel owns nine facilities in China, And so that's a clear national security threat for the United States.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		I guess one of the things the United Steel workers are worried about is you have a foreign company go in and buy U.S. Steel.
		U.S. Steel has all these obligations.
		For retired workers and those who are going to retire for both pensions and benefits and the concern there is that Nippon Steel will basically not honor those commitments.
		Have you seen or heard or thought about that?
unidentified		Yes, the United Steelworkers has written a letter saying that they have no confidence or they're not confident in Nippon Steel upholding their obligations to American workers if this deal goes through.
		And the United Steelworkers Union has backed Cleveland Cliffs as the preferred buyer, which is an American firm.
		However, Cleveland Cliffs was beaten out in the bidding process by Nippon Steel with an all-cash offer of about $14 billion.
		There have been arguments that Cleveland Cliffs' offer, which wasn't all cash, is actually worth more than Nippon Steel's offer, but Nippon Steel's was still chosen, and that's an issue of contention as well.
		And I think another point is, if this is such a great deal, then why the need for such a hard sell?
		Here at my home in the heart of the steel belt, I've actually received a propaganda flyer from Nippon Steel saying the future of American steel is growing brighter and encouraging me to contact my elected representatives To encourage them to push through the Nippon Steel acquisition of U.S. Steel.
		And I think that here in the Steel Belt, we know that we don't want to act against the interests of our family members, our friends, and our neighbors.
		And that's exactly what the propaganda flyer that I received this summer was encouraging me to do.
		And I think that's really telling that they have to sell it so hard if it's such a great deal for U.S. Steel and for American workers.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and let me take the policy now inside the White House.
		Let's take you back to 2018.
		I'm in the White House, Director of Manufacturing and Trade Policy.
		I'm working with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to...
		We're having tremendous pushback from the rhinos in our midst, all the Wall Street guys who...
		Love the offshore jobs.
		At the time, it was Gary Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs guy, who unbelievably wound up as the National Economic Council director.
		That's the most powerful position, aside from the Treasury Secretary, in an administration.
		So I'm fighting Cohn.
		Mnuchin himself, Steve Mnuchin's over at Treasury.
		He's fighting the steel tariffs.
		I got Rob Porter, the staff secretary.
		That's a really important position because he signs everything that he takes the president to sign.
		So I'm fighting him.
		I'm fighting Mattis at the Department of Defense, who doesn't want to sign the order saying that there's a national security reason to have steel and aluminum mills.
		That was unbelievable. That's when I knew Mad Dog was not only Mad Dog, but he was just flat-out dumb.
		I'm fighting the Chief of Staff, John Kelly, General John Kelly.
		I'm going, John, what the hell?
		How are we going to have steel for those tanks?
		So we're fighting everybody.
		Wilbur and I organized this.
		Come on, it was a coup.
		This is the only coup that I've ever been responsible for.
		But we got all of the steel mill guys, the steel CEOs, including the guy at U.S. Steel, Dave Burrett, in a room, in the cabinet room.
		I'm talking with them and explaining kind of what the best strategy is.
		And... President comes in to meet him and he's just dying to get these tariffs done and trying to overcome the pushback of these idiots.
		Cohn, Mnuchin, Kelly, Porter, others.
		And we get the steel tariffs, right?
		And so why am I telling you this is because Dave Burrett, from the imposition of those steel tariffs, In 2018, went on the best investment spree you could imagine.
		Instead of shutting plants down, he fired them back up.
		He committed hundreds of millions of dollars in new investment.
		And U.S. steel under the Trump tariffs was reborn.
		It lasted...
		Two short years, all two short years, because what Biden did, and Harris at his side, let's make no mistake about it, because he was half asleep, she was woke, he's half asleep.
		Biden, half asleep, Kamala woke.
		Boy, there's a combination. What they do is they negotiate, they don't take the tariffs off, but they negotiate these huge loopholes In the tariffs, and what we then get is just a flood of iron and steel, iron, steel, aluminum coming back into the country.
		Burrett gets left holding the bag and gets buried, and suddenly his genius decision under the assumption of protection for national security reasons from Donald Trump goes away.
		And then the next thing you know, Nippon Steel comes in for the kill.
		That's the backstory.
		I don't know if anybody's ever told you the backstory, but that's the backstory, and that's why Kamala Harris has to be held responsible.
		For what's happening to steel and aluminum industries in key battlegrounds like Arizona, which is seeing its aluminum extruders hammered.
		And in Pennsylvania, where everybody, all these foreigners are coming in like predators trying to pick off the carcasses.
		And we just can't let it happen.
		And I can tell you if Donald Trump gets back in office, He will not let that happen.
		Pennsylvania, are you listening?
		Or Arizona, are you listening?
		And that's kind of the back story there.
		Adam, I always appreciate you coming on.
		We've got 60 seconds here.
		Tell people first where they can reach you.
		And then if you have a final thought, go for it.
unidentified		Thank you. So people can reach me at newcentury.substack.com.
		And on the point that you just mentioned, I just want to say thank you very much for all of the work that you and President Trump have done and are doing for the American workers and American steelworkers with regard to tariffs.
		The tariffs that you and President Trump put in place Are an absolutely monumental achievement for our nation, for our national security, and for American workers.
		And I know here in the Steel Belt, we cannot wait to see what you and President Trump are going to achieve in President Trump's second term.
		We're looking forward to all that you're going to do and even more monumental achievements to come.
		Thank you so much.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		We are grateful here. Adam, I know you're in Indiana, but I hope that message you just broadcast gets to the great state of Pennsylvania right now.
		All right, brother, we'll have you back soon.
		Stay right here. Where you are in the war room.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		You don't need me to tell you that life is precious, that it could all get taken away in an instant.
		That's why I keep a four-week emergency food kit from my patriot supply in my home.
		It's got everything my family could need during a crisis.
		With over 2,000 calories per day, there's enough to go around during times of social unrest, government crackdowns, or, God forbid, an attack on our homeland.
		The food lasts up to 25 years, ready whenever disaster strikes.
		We've seen mass panic in our lifetimes before, somewhere not that long ago.
		I'm not going to take my family's safety for granted anymore.
		Are you? Right now, you can get $50 off the same four-week emergency food kit that I keep in my home.
		Go to MyPatriotSupply.com and save $50 on your four-week emergency food kit, and My Patriot Supply will send it over as fast as humanly possible.
		Trust me, I know because my order showed up in one day.
unidentified		And it's shipped free. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		Yeah. Hey, Navarro in for Bannon.
		We are in the homestretch, the final run to the finish line.
		Here it is in Florida.
		I'm down, hopefully not in the middle of where this thing's going to hit.
		Uncle Milton here.
		But I do want to...
		Send out my prayers to everybody in the great state of Florida.
		I'm impressed with how this state prepares and organizes for these kind of disasters.
		But it's going to be a tough one, particularly those posse members out in the Tampa Bay area.
		And this could stretch right across the state over to where our rocket ships go to the moon in Cape Canaveral.
		This is going to be a bad one.
		We've had a great show today.
		I've tried to focus on the policy agenda of Kamala Harris.
		And how it has impacted our energy and manufacturing sectors in the battleground states.
		Looking through the chat room, I want to thank...
		It's, let's see, let me get this right.
		It's me again, Cy.
		Downloaded the report already, sent it out to a bunch of people.
		I need some help with you guys doing that.
		This report is at my Substack.
		Denver, you can throw up the Chiron there.
		PeterNavarro.Substack.com or Substack.com forward slash Navarro.
		It's really important that you read this report.
		It's ammunition for you to talk with voters about in these battleground states.
		If you're living in these states, please share it with people there.
		If you know friends in these states, download the PDF, send them by email.
		We need to start talking about it.
		It's really astonishing that If you look at Arizona, for example, Land of Cary Lake...
		The aluminum sector is getting hammered because Kamala Harris weakened the tariffs.
		The copper sector is getting hammered because Kamala Harris doesn't want copper mined here.
		She'd rather have us dependent on the Chinese.
		You go to Pennsylvania, fracking's down 30% in terms of employment.
		The If you go to Georgia, furniture and textiles are in the tank.
		It's just carnage.
		So anyway, it's been great being with you.
		I'll be back on Friday.
		But right now, it's my pleasure.
		Always a pleasure. The MyPillow guy.
		Soft-spoken, reserved.
		Today, he might come out of his shell.
unidentified		Mike Lindell in the war room, brother.
mike lindell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, thanks, Peter.
		Yeah, you guys, I want to say before I give you guys this special of the day, I've been going around actually to churches.
		I just spoke at a church in here in Texas yesterday, over a thousand people there, and I'm encouraging everyone, when you go to your church, you know, tell everyone, they've got to get out and vote.
		This is, and make it part of the discussion.
		You know, they...
		This is where, you know, where people are gathered and you need to get these people out that they can't just sit back and go, you know what, whatever happens, happens, or I'm just gonna, you know, pray about it.
		No, we need to take action, action, action.
		So I just want to encourage people that to, you know, with the Christian vote, we've got to get out the Christian conservative vote.
		And that's what I've been doing now.
		I've been at my third church last night and they And people are...
		There's actually surprise that a lot of this...
peter navarro ▲ ● ▼		If that vote gets out, we win.
		But for some reason...
		Evangelicals vote at lower rates than other parts of demographics.
		It's very puzzling.
		It is. So I'm glad you're out there preaching the gospel of casting your ballots.
mike lindell ▲ ● ▼		This is a battle of good and evil.
		This is an epic battle that we're in.
		This is a spiritual battle of biblical proportions.
		People don't realize that.
		They live in a bubble out there, and they're going and giving the word out and giving this sense of urgency and educating the people.
		So I encourage everybody, get to your church, and even if you're outside the door and talking to people about it, now's the time.
		You've got choices. You need to act.
