What are the unprecedented assaults on constitutional separation of powers?

Peter Navarro 0:02

certainly focus on that little story but what what I suggest to you as journalists is that there's two really bigger stories that you might want to report on and even do some research on because these are these are big issues this is not about me the one of the big stories is about what is really an unprecedented assault on the constitutional separation of powers and the doctrine of executive privilege as a critical tool dating back to George Washington of effective presidential decision making. When I walk in that prison today, The justice system, such as it is, will have done a crippling blow to the constitutional separation of powers and executive privilege. The second and related story has to do with the emergence of lawfare and the partisan weaponization of our justice system.

Peter Navarro 1:22

which we have seen come to this country with a vengeance since the coming of Donald John Trump as president.

How is lawfare being weaponized against political figures?

Peter Navarro 1:31

And that keeps getting worse. So let me walk you through those two stories. And again, I'm hoping as journalists, you will do some background, some research. I'm asking you to fact-check everything I say today and write the bigger stories here, which I think are the important ones. So let's talk about some facts here.

What historical context is provided regarding executive privilege?

Peter Navarro 1:57

I am the first senior White House...

Steve Bannon 2:03

Okay, right there. That was historic. 19 March of the year of our Lord, 2024. Dr. Peter Navarro, that is right outside the prison in Miami. And Peter, what I always admired about you, totally unflappable. People got to understand, when you're about to step into prison, because you don't know what's on the other side, you're calm, collective. It's just like you're right at Pebble Beach today talking about an EU trade deal.

What significant events led to the current legal challenges against Trump?

Steve Bannon 2:32

You walk through the separation of powers. You walk through executive privilege. And you talk about you're the first senior member of a White House staff ever to go to prison for standing up and defending the president of the United States, sir.

Peter Navarro 2:47

Well, I wish the journalists had taken my advice and actually done their homework, but you and I got to do it for them. That's why I wrote the book, I Went to Prison So You Won't Have To. That's why that Breitbart article is out today and why that Breitbart article is really important and really explains the whole kind of conspiracy against Donald Trump in a way which ties everything together. It's like people... know about the Russia hoax. They might know about Arctic Frost. They might know about all these different kinds of things.

How do whistleblowers play a role in revealing the truth?

Peter Navarro 3:24

But nobody really has weaved together the whole theme of this. And the thing that ties it all together is this tale of Walter Giardina, the FBI agent. I call him the Forrest Gump from Hades. He pops up literally everywhere. And thanks to Senator Grassley for getting all this out. Thanks to the whistleblowers inside the FBI. But we need to get to the bottom of all this, Steve, because if we don't hold these people accountable, they'll do it again, Steve.

Steve Bannon 4:00

Oh, no, we're going to do that.

Peter Navarro 4:02

They'll do it again.

Steve Bannon 4:02

There's no remorse here.

What are the implications of the recent court rulings on Trump's legal battles?

Steve Bannon 4:04

I don't want to give too much. Go ahead. I don't want to give away too much of the book because I want people to read it, particularly your discussion about in prison. And it's very important, folks. Peter Navarro was over 70 years old when they put him in prison, and he took it like a soldier. He took it just like a trooper. I do want to, though, before I let you go, about this FBI agent. You're a senior advisor to the president, and people should understand, as an assistant to the president, that is the equivalent of a major general. I think the rank is a major general in the Army, the Air Force, or an admiral in the Navy. You served honorably.

How does the discussion shift towards the impact of European nations on Ukraine?

Steve Bannon 4:39

You really changed the direction of this country by being the manufacturing and trade and tariff senior advisor to the president. That has changed the arc of American history and American economic history for working class people in the middle class, not just now, but for generations to come. You were at Reagan National. And for what basically was a civil dispute between we refused to testify.
