21 Aug 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the unprecedented assaults on constitutional separation of powers?

2.208 - 31.658 Peter Navarro

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

32.617 - 63.683 Peter Navarro

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.

0

65.525 - 90.281 Peter Navarro

The second and related story has to do with the emergence of lawfare and the partisan weaponization of our justice system. which we have seen come to this country with a vengeance since the coming of Donald John Trump as president.

0

Chapter 2: How is lawfare being weaponized against political figures?

91.504 - 117.382 Peter Navarro

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.

Chapter 3: What historical context is provided regarding executive privilege?

117.522 - 121.787 Peter Navarro

I am the first senior White House...

0

123.978 - 147.268 Steve Bannon

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.

0

147.248 - 151.858 Steve Bannon

It's just like you're right at Pebble Beach today talking about an EU trade deal.

0

Chapter 4: What significant events led to the current legal challenges against Trump?

152.199 - 164.565 Steve Bannon

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.

0

167.549 - 194.862 Peter Navarro

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.

0

194.962 - 203.946 Peter Navarro

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.

0

Chapter 5: How do whistleblowers play a role in revealing the truth?

204.647 - 231.039 Peter Navarro

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.

0

232.942 - 240.654 Peter Navarro

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.

0

240.674 - 241.716 Steve Bannon

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

0

242.117 - 242.838 Peter Navarro

They'll do it again.

0

242.858 - 244.421 Steve Bannon

There's no remorse here.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the recent court rulings on Trump's legal battles?

244.441 - 264.313 Steve Bannon

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.

0

264.293 - 279.038 Steve Bannon

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.

0

Chapter 7: How does the discussion shift towards the impact of European nations on Ukraine?

279.479 - 304.234 Steve Bannon

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.

0

304.274 - 313.065 Steve Bannon

What we now know was an illegal committee that they all got pardons for and all illegitimate pardons on the auto pen. But we'll deal with that another day.

0

313.045 - 331.853 Steve Bannon

We know the criminality of their staffs who went over there and begged for those pardons because they knew the crimes they were committing against myself, Peter Navarro, but most importantly, the president of the United States to try to put him in prison. They went to National Airport and they basically went there to humiliate you. They went there. They dragged you out.

0

Chapter 8: What future actions are suggested for addressing the ongoing political and legal issues?

331.913 - 353.03 Steve Bannon

They put you in chains. They gave you the handcuffs to go around, but also the leg irons. What they did is absolutely unacceptable, and they're going to pay for it. Not just that FBI guy, but everybody that signed off. And I want them to know and their lawyers know we're coming for you guys and we're coming hard. And there's a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure that you go to prison.

0

353.411 - 372.801 Steve Bannon

And when you go to prison, it ain't going to be for four months. It's going to be for four years plus. Dr. Navarro, your closing thoughts on this topic. We're going to have you a lot on between now. When we do the book launch, do an official book launch on the 13th of September at a place to be determined. We're going to announce that in the next couple of weeks. Your closing observations, sir.

0

376.085 - 404.514 Peter Navarro

Look, Steve, you and I, look, I think it's fair to say we're warriors. We know what we got into when we got into fighting. All of the people that we have to fight every day are trying to destroy this country. But I'll never forgive anybody. them for, particularly Walter Giardina. Is Perp Walkman, my fiancƩ, out of there? You don't involve family. I live literally across the street from the FBI.

0

404.534 - 432.526 Peter Navarro

I was a field goal kicker back in the day. I could literally kick a football into their top floor there. And they chose to do what they did. So I went to prison so you won't have to on your wake-up call. If they can come for me, if they can come for Donald Trump, if they can come for Steve Bannon, Steve, you and I went to prison, they can come for the rest of you, War Room. So let's get them.

0

433.548 - 439.122 Peter Navarro

I'm an Old Testament kind of guy. It's not about retribution. It's about holding them accountable.

440.857 - 463.8 Steve Bannon

I don't know. See, Navarro, you're not a particularly religious guy, but you're a good man, so you're not for retribution. I'm retribution, baby. I'm all for it. I'm a big believer in retribution, particularly for these scumbags. No, we've got to hold them accountable. Anyway, Peter, where do they go for your social media? Where do they go to get the book? It's extraordinary.

463.981 - 467.404 Steve Bannon

The Breitbart article we're putting up. Go ahead, sir. Yep.

467.924 - 494.26 Peter Navarro

One thing, I want to show you one thing. I want to show you your audience today on Pebble Beach. Everybody watching the Whirl Room. Okay. We got the entire press corps here watching this. Anyway, go to Amazon.com. And I went to prison so you won't have to. Buy the book. If you're not reading books anymore, buy one for a friend.

494.521 - 495.162 Unknown
