This is both hilarious and interesting. I fed a key chapter of The New MAGA Deal book into an AI washing machine, and here's what it spit out. Note the woke edges but nonetheless well worth a listening. Visit my substack at www.peternavarro.substack.com Summary This excerpt from Peter Navarro's book, The New MAGA Deal, argues that the Republican Party needs to re-define the meaning of "MAGA" in order to win the 2024 presidential election. Navarro claims that the term represents a "Populist Economic Nationalist" movement that prioritizes American manufacturing, secure borders, and ending America's endless wars. He asserts that "MAGA" is not extremist, but rather embodies values of God, country, and family. Navarro proposes a strategy to counter Democratic attacks on the movement by highlighting its core principles and promoting the idea of "MAGA ambassadors" who can explain the movement to their communities.

Briefing Doc: Peter Navarro's Critique of the First Step Act Implementation This briefing doc analyzes Peter Navarro's Substack article detailing his experience in prison and subsequent investigation into the Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) implementation of the First Step Act (FSA). Main Themes: BOP Failure to Implement the FSA: Navarro argues that the BOP, under Democrat leadership, is deliberately obstructing the implementation of the FSA, a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill signed into law by President Trump in 2018. Taxpayer Waste and Human Misery: This obstruction, according to Navarro, results in unnecessary incarceration, costing taxpayers billions of dollars while causing immense suffering for inmates and their families. Prison Industrial Complex: Navarro blames the "Prison Industrial Complex," comprising BOP staff, private contractors, and the privatized prison system, for profiting from keeping prisons full and resisting FSA implementation. Call to Action for Congress and 2024 Election Implications: He urges Congress to intervene and force the BOP to implement the FSA fully. He also suggests this issue could sway voters in the 2024 presidential election, favoring Trump, who championed the FSA, and potentially hurting Kamala Harris, who, according to Navarro, made unfulfilled promises regarding the release of nonviolent offenders. Important Ideas and Facts: FSA Benefits: The FSA aims to reduce over-sentencing by offering earned good behavior and training credits. It also facilitates inmate transition back into society through halfway houses or home confinement. Scope of the Problem: Navarro estimates that over 60,000 FSA-eligible inmates are unjustly incarcerated, costing taxpayers up to $5 billion. He provides specific examples of individuals, like Del Gowing and Dr. Armand Abovyan, who remain imprisoned despite being eligible for release under the FSA. Proposed Solutions: Navarro proposes two solutions: Expand Home Confinement: Require the BOP to place inmates in home confinement if halfway house capacity is insufficient. He cites Judge Joseph LaPlante's ruling in Leavitt v. Warden (2024) as precedent. Accurate Release Date Calculation: Mandate the BOP to utilize the "maximum conditional FTC calculator" to ensure accurate release date forecasting. Quotes: "During my prison stay, I discovered that the Bureau of Prisons has steadfastly refused to enforce the 2018 First Step Act, which was passed through the leadership and 'smart on crime' vision of Donald Trump." "Cumulatively, the cost of such BOP malign neglect directly costs taxpayers up to $3 billion for the more than 60,000 FSA-eligible inmates." "This is a bipartisan issue that both sides of the aisle are failing on." "Tens of thousands of family members of inmates across the battleground states may well vote for Donald Trump because he led passage of the FSA." Conclusion: Navarro's article presents a scathing critique of the BOP's handling of the FSA, highlighting its human and economic costs. His call to action for Congress and his framing of the issue as a potential 2024 election decider underscores his belief in the urgency and political significance of this matter. It's crucial to note that Navarro's perspective is inherently biased due to his personal experience and political affiliations. Further investigation and analysis from diverse perspectives are needed to fully evaluate the extent and implications of the BOP's FSA implementation.
Little did I know when I went to prison in defense of our Constitution that I would moonlight as an investigative reporter and uncover a $5 billion waste of taxpayer money. Three months after my prison release, neither the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) nor the U.S. Congress has yet to do a damn thing about this monumental government failure. To the contrary, with a stunning announcement on October 8, the BOP has moved in the OPPOSITE direction, effectively institutionalizing the problem. Meanwhile, the House Judiciary Committee is doing what it has done most of the last two years – absolutely nothing but bloviating. LISTEN FOR THE REST OF THE STORY.

The Deep Dive crew take a look at Peter Navarro's claim of a momentum shift following the Vance Walz October 1 debate Navarro writes: The Kamala Harris blue tide in this year's presidential election turned Trump red on October 1st. That's the night the youngster JD Vance made the oldster Tim Walz look like both a little kid and lunkhead. This momentum shift, long overdue, is as it should be. The Trump-Vance ticket is strongly preferred by voters on the top issues that now regularly pop out in the polls: the economy and the related issue of inflation, immigration and border security, crime and public safety, foreign policy and the chaos in Gaza and carnage Ukraine. The margins in favor of Trump-Vance on these most salient issues are not even close and no amount of abortion, health care or threats to democracy messaging can possibly level that polling playing field. By speaking directly to the people, JD Vance was able to shake off the shackles the legacy media had immediately bound him in once he was on the ticket. Here, the treatment of Vance versus Walz by the likes of ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, and print agit-propers like the New York Times and Washington Post offered a stark “cat lady” indictment of a Leftist, pro-Harris press seeking to intervene in an election.
The Kamala Harris blue tide in this year's presidential election turned Trump red on October 1st. That's the night the youngster JD Vance made the oldster Tim Walz look like both a little kid and lunkhead. During the October 1st debate, I was both assuming and hoping that JD Vance would go for the jugular on all of these Walz foibles which the legacy media had swept under the rug. I figured he would go for the knockout just like Trump knocked out Biden. But JD did the smarter thing; and it's what Kamala Harris should have done in her debate with Trump rather than simply attack him. Vance used much of his stage time to re-introduce himself to an American public that had been indoctrinated by the legacy media. Vance then used the rest of the time to peacefully disagree with Walz on a range of issues and thereby demonstrated Vance's superior intellect and temperament. It was like watching a cat toy with a mouse. A quarterback debating a lineman. Ultimately, what Vance did in that debate is reaffirm that Trump beats Harris not just in where he stands on the economy, inflation, border, crime, and foreign policy but even when it comes to picking Vice Presidents.
Hi Peter Navarro here, and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris entered office with promises to revitalize U.S. manufacturing and build a "Made in America" future. Yet, the Harris-Biden policy agenda has directly resulted in significant damage to the very industries they pledged to support. In an ironic twist, much of the devastation wrought by Joe Biden, and particularly Kamala Harris, is happening in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. These are key battleground states that will likely determine the November 5 presidential election. I've assessed the carnage in my latest report: Kamala Harris' Destructive Policy Agenda: The Decline of Manufacturing and Energy Production in Key Battleground States.

One of the geopolitical risks that Nvidia itself faces TODAY is from Communist China. For starters, China accounts for about 25% of Nvidia's revenue for its data center business, which is the largest operation at the company. Anything from increased sanctions on China to a catastrophic war with Taiwan would obviously hit Nvidia hard. Perhaps the biggest threat, however, is the US government – and rightly so. Right now, the Biden administration is trying to curb Communist China's access to technology, and specifically AI which China intends to fully use for military uses. In thumbing its nose at those sanctions by running and runs around those sanctions, Nvidia risks a crackdown that, truth be told is long overdue. As to why the Biden regime continues to allow the Chinese military and state researched institutes of artificial intelligence to continue to buy the coveted A100 and H 100 Nvidia chips is a mystery.

Let's start with the two most important observations of last week's market rap. First, I indicated that last week's market movements would not really matter much in terms of information about the market trend. The likely bullish or bearish trajectory of the market in 2024 might be revealed this week as the first week after the new year is often a harbinger of the year to come. Here, it is worth noting that, going back to 1950, . When stocks finish the first week of the new year higher, the S&P 500 has been positive 82% of the time at year-end with an average gain of 13.6% -- this according to Stock Trader's Almanac.

In the wake of this seeming inexplicable Biden Bull, the passive investor, buy and hold crowd crowed that anybody who “plays the market” is a fool; and the only thing for us retail investors to do is just buy and hold broad market indices for years on end and just let your broker worry about it.

Peter Navarro here with this week's market and economy wrap for the week ending December 22, 2023. The S&P 500 continued its hot streak with a modest gain. Except for an absolutely weird options expiration day on Wednesday which led to a massive one-day pullback, the week offered few other surprises. On the economic indicator front, the Federal Reserve's favorite inflation indicator, the PCE Index, fell for the first time in 2020 and provided further evidence that inflation and price pressures are continuing to cool. On an annualized basis, the core rate decelerated from 3.4 percent to 3.2 percent; and this month's inflation reduction came in right at expectations so the market underwent little change on Friday's news. The Wall Street betting money continues to be on a reduction in interest rates, but after getting out on their skis last week in talking about such possible rate reductions, a gaggle of Federal Reserve officials tried to walk the whole thing back. Good luck with that. The broader context for all of this ... LISTEN NOW TO THE REST OF THE STORY.

Bears on the short side, like me I might add, see all manner of hazards that must inevitably, and sooner rather than later, catch up with Wall Street – persistently high inflation, equally persistent high interest rates that are slowly choking off interest rate sensitive sectors like autos and housing, a looming fiscal cliff, geopolitical hazards ranging from the Red Sea and Persian Gulf to the Straits of Taiwan, and so it goes.

SPEAKER 2 Hey, Peter Navarro here. Had a great time down in Nashville with the great Mike Huckabee. Here's part one of the interview. Give it a listen. SPEAKER 1 Go to MikeHuckabee.com and sign up for his free newsletter and follow at GovMikeHuckabee on Twitter. Welcome back. The first time Peter Navarro was to appear on our show, the FBI arrested him as he was boarding the flight to get to Nashville to be here. Watch. SPEAKER 2 I was on my way to Nashville today to do a TV appearance with Mike Huckabee show, right? SPEAKER 1 Well, we were thrilled when he did come on a few weeks later to tell the story of being harassed by the Justice Department and the Kangaroo Court of the Sham January 6th Committee. He was later convicted of failing to appear before them because, unlike some people, Peter Navarro actually believes in the Constitution and it's very clear separation of powers provisions. His principle stand has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs, which he sure hopes people like you and me will help him raise. Peter has a PhD from Harvard. He's been a distinguished professor of economics in several universities, and he's been willing to call out the economic establishment for selling out the USA in a lot of the unfair trade deals that have cost Americans their jobs. President Trump brought him on board from the very beginning of his administration. and he stayed all the way to the end. He bucked the failed trade policies of previous administrations from both Democrat and Republican administrations. And he helped President Trump lead us in a real effort to put America's interests first above those of the multinational corporations. I'll tell you this, I like him because so many of the people that have helped wreck America, they don't like him. So that's all the more reason I really like him. Welcome back to the show, Dr. Peter Navarro. Good to have you back. SPEAKER 2 What I love about coming here besides this place, which is the best venue of any show in America the Hamas attacks. Everybody in America needs to understand one thing. The Gaza Strip, which is adjacent to Israel, it's 26 miles long. It's three and a half to seven and a half miles wide at its widest. And there's 300 miles of tunnels underneath the Gaza Strip, which are used by the Hamas terrorist group. to first of all import rockets and other weapons from Egypt under the tunnels, and then to conduct all manner of rocket attacks and raids on Israel. And this attack that happened, Mike, was the result of these tunnels stretching underneath the border into Israel and having these people pop up and killing babies. And as our politicians here in Washington are trying to prevent Israel from destroying those tunnels in Gaza for its security, the Israelis are taking a principled stand because that's what they need to do. So as you watch the news, please understand that the reason why the Israelis are in Gaza is to destroy those tunnels in Hamas. That's it. SPEAKER 1 And I think people don't even appreciate that there are more tunnels under that little piece of real estate in Gaza than the entire New York City subway system. SPEAKER 2 Well, look, the one other thing, and I wrote about this in the articles on my substagging, I'm of the Vietnam era, right, the Vietnam War era. And I don't know if you know this, but one of the big reasons why America lost the war in Vietnam, it was the first war we ever lost, was these things called the Tunnels of Cu Chi. And there was a very, very elaborate system of tunnels that the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese had under Saigon, which is now Ho Chi Minh City, that stretched all the way to the Cambodian border. And it was from those tunnels that they launched the Tet Offensive in 1968, which was the turning point in the war. It was from those tunnels they'd pop under Tanzanian Air Force Base and kill Americans. And they launched all manner of sabre attacks. And the problem was the American command did not do anything about those tunnels other than to send some of the bravest men in the world down there with pistols and flashlights. That was our response. And the whole point of the article I wrote was Israel must learn the lesson of the tunnels in Cu Chi in Vietnam And they can't have those tunnels. And so this is where we're at. And it's a very dangerous place. Having Joe Biden there as president is drawing us in to wars in Ukraine, wars now with Iran and China, communist China. It's always communist China, folks. It's just waiting to go after Taiwan once Mike Huckabee SPEAKER 1 When you were in the White House and helping President Trump, we actually were pushing back on the unfair trade deals. It's one of the things that I don't think a lot of people understood. We had been played for chumps. You and the President said, nope, we're not going to let these folks, the communists, just run over us, lie to us, make trade deals that are not good for Americans. And we started making progress. That progress has been lost in the last two years. SPEAKER 2 It started in 2001 when President Bill Clinton, just as his last act, allowed China into the World Trade Organization and access to our markets. And they came in and they broke every rule in the WTO book to destroy our factories, and our jobs. And they took away five million manufacturing jobs, 70,000 factories, and Donald Trump got elected in large part on a platform of pushing back on that. And what we did, and it was a beautiful thing, was the Trump tariffs. Because if they're cheating, if they're subsidizing their exports into the United States, the only way you can offset that is with tariffs. And that's exactly what we did. But the job wasn't even half finished. when 2020 came along and we need him back to finish that job because China takes a trillion dollars from us every year now in the trade deficit and you know what they use that for, Mike? Their military budget. SPEAKER 1 Yeah. We're going to continue that because I want to get more into what we can do to push back with China because you guys were actually getting it done. So there's a lot more to talk about it with Peter Navarro. We're going to be right back after the break. Do not go away. We'll see you in a moment. SPEAKER 2 Okay. Thanks for watching this.

TRANSCRIPT http://peternavarro.substack.com The Republican Party must immediately unite around Donald J. Trump as its presidential candidate. Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel must voluntarily pass the torch of leadership to a new RNC Chair capable of running a competent campaign in 2024. Absent these two mid-course corrections, the Republican Party will squander a platinum opportunity to take back both the White House and Congress from a Democrat Party destroying everything Main Street America holds dear. Trump has an insurmountable lead in the polls and a rock-solid base no other candidate can shake. He WILL be the nominee. As we saw last week, there is no one left on the debate stage either capable of being president or likely to be Trump's VP choice. The Pillsbury Doughboy of Venom Chris Christie has self-immolated as spoiler hit man. Loudmouth Ramaswamy is, at best, a Deputy Cabinet appointee. As for Nikki Haley, yond lean and hungry Cassius has bitten the Trump hand that fed her so many times that she will have NO place in a Trump administration (other than perhaps as ambassador to Botswana). Ron DeSanctimonious blew his VP chance not just when he swung for Trump's head. Shrinking Ron has little national appeal to justify a place on the Trump ticket. What, then, is the purpose of continuing with a contested primary season that serves only to drain political funds from the General Election? Why have a debate schedule that allows the Keebler Elf candidates to throw mud at Trump as they make fools of themselves? In fact, we saw a similar movie and mud fest in 2020 with all of the usual suspects now hanging around the 2024 fringes. These Never-Trumpers range from the Koch network's dark money and Rupert Murdoch's propagandist Fox to the Romney-McConnell-Ryan-Noonan RINO sappers and nasty PAC men like George Conway and John Bolton. In 2020, their dark money and negative ads and attacks most certainly shaved points off the final Trump tally in what was a highly contested race. And let's not forget the 2020 fragging of Trump from the likes of endless warmongers like George W. Bush, Mad Dog Mattis, and the late Colin Powell, and the passive-aggressive shots at Trump by Mitch McConnell in a Senate that has become nothing short of a Uniparty RINO embarrassment. As splintered as the Democrat Party is supposed to be, their leaders and big donors wouldn't be doing anything like what the Republican Party is doing. Now, it's either “here we go again” and the Republican Party hands over an eminently winnable election to the Democrat Party of economic mayhem, open borders, and foreign policy chaos. Alternatively, it can unite around “The Donald” as the only clear path to victory in 2024. Even if Trump quickly becomes the presumptive nominee, there still is the matter of a Republican National Committee. As last week's election once again demonstrated, the RNC fat cats know far better how to hold plush fundraisers at posh resorts than win down and dirty elections against a brass-knuckled, grassroots Democrat Party willing to lie, cheat, and lawfare its way to victory. Here's several obvious post-election takeaways. First, the RNC must develop a far better ground game behind them. It's not just about getting folks to vote early. It's also about getting more folks to the polls. Second, if the RNC allows the Democrat Party to turn the 2024 presidential and congressional races into a referendum on social issues, particularly abortion, Republicans will lose in RECORD numbers. Just how many times do Republican strategists and leadership have to make this same stupid mistake? Obama did social issued the feckless Mitt Romney in 2008 when Romney was all but a lock to win on economic issues and Communist China raid on our factories. Obama did it again to the clueless and ever-cranky, now dear departed John McCain in 2012. And what about that 2022 Republican tsunami that was supposed to result in a record House victory? It never materialized for all manner of RNC-induced reasons, not the least of which was a failure to properly message on the abortion issue. Dukakis had it right with his Greek proverb that the fish rots from the head down. The RNC is a rotten political machine sputtering on every single cylinder, and its head, Ronna McDaniel, must hold her own self accountable for last week's carnage. So, Ronna, end the debates, endorse Trump, and then step aside so we can, in the words of the immortal Al Davis, “win, baby, win.” I'm Peter Navarro, and thanks for listening.

READ THE TRANSCRIPT AT HTTP://PETERNAVARRO.SUBSTACK.COM PLEASE WRITE A REVIEW! Hi. Peter Navarro here with this week's market rap for the week ending October 27, 2023, and recall now that since mid-July, I've been warning that cash is king in a stock market in which I clearly feared a bearish trend might develop. I made this call at the time despite abundant evidence to the contrary as the market was exerting bullish tendencies. Yet, I saw a long list of problems piling up that I believed would soon turn any bullish sentiment into a bear market rout. For example, here's a quote from my July 14th, 2023, substack which maintained a recommendation of cash over equities despite what was a very bullish week. Here's what I wrote: “It was indeed a very good week for the bulls. From a purely technical trading perspective, the market trend is clearly up; and on this technical signal alone, US markets, along with markets around the world, are likely to see more green than red days, at least for a while. That said, I remain wary and see lower risk generating income in short term treasuries than rolling the stock dice.” Then, on August 12, 2023, I wrote as the market trend was indeed beginning to turn: My bottom line is that cash remains king – with “cash” now earning a nice 5% in, for example, six-month T-bills. If, however, you want to walk a little bit on the wild side – not offering advice here – a good speculation (not bet) might be SPXU, a 3X leveraged exchange trade fund that shorts the S&P 500. The Biden bear is coming; it's only a matter of time. In the category of “I hate it sometimes when I'm right as I don't want good American citizens to lose their shirts in the stock market, it would turn out July 31 would mark the abrupt end of the short-term Biden bull. As this 12-month chart below indicates, the S&P 500 peaked on July 31, 2023 at almost 4,600.
ABSOLUTE CRITICAL LISTENING FOR EVERY AMERICA WORRIED ABOUT WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST. READ THE TRANSCRIPT AT HTTP://PETERNAVARRO.SUBSTACK.COM If there is any one single lesson from America's first lost war – the Vietnam War – it is that tunnels can play a pivotal role. That lesson informs today's war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and explains why there can be no security in Israel without the total destruction of Hamas' Gaza “terror tunnels.”

Recall that after a bullish reversal two weeks ago of the S&P500, I warned off any short sale warriors and indicated instead that a cash position earning 5% in short term instruments may well be the optimal position. Recall further that Hamas stuck a thousand missiles in that infant bull and now the risk is clearly once again to the bearish downside in U.S. markets – the S&P indeed had a bad week this week.

READ THE TRANSCRIPT AT HTTP://PETERNAVARRO.SUBSTACK.COM Hi. Peter Navarro here with the economy and market rap for the week ending October 13, 2023; and this was one of the strangest weeks I've seen in the stock and bond markets in a very long time. Recall from last week's missive, I noted a strong bullish reversal in the S&P 500 at the end of the week. After eight weeks of (correctly) calling a bearish downward trend, this reversal warned me off of any notion of shorting the market and reinforced a pure cash call. Absent further news, I fully expected this week to be in the green for the bulls anticipating a continued downward trend in inflation, no Fed rate hike in November, a continued strong jobs market, and an above trend 3rd quarter GDP growth rate that would augur well for corporate earnings. Over the weekend, however, the Hamas hit the fan in Israel with the most brutal forms of atrocities. This has triggered all-out war in the Gaza Strip, the specter of another Arab oil embargo, a further drain on both the US arsenal and budget because of anticipated aid, and yet another refugee crisis.
