STEPHEN MILLER IS THERE TO DEFEND THE TWO BIGGEST MAGA WINS — THE BORDER AND TARIFFS

Look, Steve, before the energy price shock from the war, we were winning the battle on tariffs in terms of messaging. It was very clear that they won't cause an inflation. All the data said that. We were actually getting people to say it on TV, this, that, and the other thing. But the supply shock has given a chance to all the critics to conflate the two, right? And that's a very—but here's the thing. We live in a world. Where the international trade system is fundamentally skewed against that. The World Trade Organization, by rule, allows every other country in the world to cheat us through higher tariffs and higher non-tariff barriers. Why is that? Why is that? It's called the most favored nation rule. And it basically says that anybody is part of this organization has to set the tariff for everybody else. that they set the lowest tariff floor for somebody, okay? And it's just an artifact of our history that we are the ones that have the lowest tariffs. After World War II, we wanted the world, you know, in this globalist vision to prosper, so we were going to lead with our chin. We're going to lead the way by lowering tariffs in the hope everybody else did. They did not. Because markets would rise, we'd have more unemployment. It's the whole bullshit. And they would eventually... One big bag of steaming bullshit, Steve. They built up tariff walls, and particularly the biggest. Crushed us was the 90s when we brought China into the system. We had NAFTA. We had 2001 China. I mean, the world is arrayed in a way which sucks our jobs offshore. OK, it's the it's the sweatshops of Asia. It's the pollutions, the havens of the world or the Latin America, Africa, whatever. Every there's like 50 countries that cheat the hell out of us and 15 where most of our trade deficit is with. Okay. President Donald John Trump saw that in 2016, as did Stephen Miller, Stephen K. Bannon and Peter K. Navarro. And what the only way you level that playing field is through tariffs, because tariffs basically are the way to offset the advantage. And what the tariffs do in terms of unfair trade is as soon as you put them in, then. You get the investment here instead of there. The jobs come home. Now, what we've learned over the last. Five, eight years is that it's not just about jobs. It's also about national security, because China taught us in the pandemic that they would weaponize the pharmaceutical supply chain. China's taught us in this term that they're weaponizing rare earths, when the pandemic hit, nations all around the world wouldn't give us stuff. We understood that we got to bring our supply chains home. So this is both an economic dimension and a national security dimension. Tariffs are the single most important policy this country has right now in terms of our economic prosperity and our national security. And we are booming because of it, Steve. And you can't see it and get it out there because the energy price shock is overwhelming the perception. OK, but at the core. Now, don't forget one other thing, Steve. It's three trillion dollars worth. of revenues to help us balance a precariously unbalanced budget over 10 years. That's real money. And so the question is going to be going forward is, is, you know, what's going to happen? Okay. Hang on. That's why I'm going to tie these two together. Why is Stephen Miller the perfect person to have in this role? When, if you don't double down, They're going to take everything back. They're going to take the border security back. They're going to take all the things, and they're going to take the economics. Because if you think they're coming for immigration, they're coming for Trump's tariffs with just as much intensity. The two things that are most successful in terms of making this country safe and prosperous are a secure border and a tariff policy. The tariff policy stops our supply chains and factories going to the sweatshops of Asia. The secure borders prevent an invasion of the illegals coming in, stealing our jobs and dramatically driving down wages. And it's it's I think President Donald Trump is so frustrated. With his success at the border security, he goes in and he solves the problem, and suddenly people forget that it was a problem. They now take it for granted that we have a secure border. Guess what? That's going down, and that's why we need Miller in now. But hang on. This is the problem with the former chief of staff. You solve the border problem heroically in the first 60 to 90 days to stop it. However, that's not a permanent fix. We never codified it. Well, I know it's not a permanent fix because in Texas right now, why are we so focused on Texas? The governor of Texas. On 1st of January, can take all the assets that Texas is putting. By the way, do the geography for people, please, Steve. In terms of the border, you're only talking about two states in effect, right? Which is Texas and California. That's where most of it comes in, right? Right, and, and, And as big as the California border problem is, it's much easier to get in. She can, by a stroke of a pen, what she's going to do is take all those Texas assets, which really President Trump and the Warren posse and others, at the tip of a political bayonet, forced Abbott to do. That can all come back, plus the sanctuary city. So, in permanent nature, you're not negative on where the country's going, but if we don't take dramatic action and we don't take it now, you're quite concerned about the direction of the country. I'm negative on where the country's going. Look, look at what we got. We got Texas. We got California. So it makes it hard. We got all these sanctuary cities and states where we can't accelerate the pace of the deportations that we promised. And it has economic consequences and social consequences. So that's why Stephen Miller is important. He's not going to put up with it. The Wall Street Journal and Fox News and the Murdochs hate tariffs because they're globalists. OK, neoliberal, neocon globalists. They're going to come after you. Paul G. Joe, they're licking their chops. Even more than the immigration, they want to get rid of the tariffs. They want Trump to reverse all economic nationalism. Of course they do. What is your recommendation to the president on how we combat that? We've got a couple of weeks. First of all, we have to double, triple, quadruple down on explaining to the people the messaging. I mean, I've been working my ass off on this. I did a major report with a film on this today. Well, what we had with the video, I keep putting out the numbers. I mean, it's Steve. If you just look at the numbers, we are in the midst of the greatest manufacturing renaissance since World War II. It's just, I mean, and it's all tariff-driven. Yeah, the tax bill helps, but the tax bill alone, it's like a sideshow in some sense, okay? It's the permanence of the tariffs. The Audi guy in Georgia said that he came on the stage, the CEO, and he said he's doing a $5 billion plan. He says, hey, if it wasn't for the tariffs, he says, if it wasn't for the tariffs, we'd do it in Germany. One of the things I'm concerned about, I have to, you know, inside. The administration have to always worry about kind of like deals to like let the terrorists go. Canada and Mexico are always wanting to get a reduction in tariffs for the autos and steel. It's like, why? OK, because they're effective tariff policies for the U.S. and they want our jobs. Yeah, we're not giving it to them. So it's I'm telling you, the biggest fights are going to happen. But Miller, Stephen Miller, Stephen Miller. It's as solid as a rock on MAGA issues as anybody, because it was you, me, Miller, the boss, and a few others back in 2016 who were preaching this gospel. You don't believe that this is the end of the MAGA movement. This is the beginning of the renaissance of the MAGA movement. That's why Miller's there. He's the MAGA warrior, the signal to the MAGA base. You think Kevin McCarthy, as chief of staff, would have united the MAGA base? Are you frigging kidding me? His was a two-pronged approach. Get Jordan in as the minority leader and take over as chief of staff, and then you back to lobby the station. Well, you know, as much as I used to love Jim Jordan, Until he proves to me that he's got the cojones he's used to having, I'm not a Jordan fan because you and I went to prison, Steve, and he didn't lift a finger for us, okay? That son of a bitch didn't lift a finger on the weaponization. He didn't do anything on weaponization. That's the problem.
