TRANSCRIPT
(00:00:00):
Peter, you were just talking with President Trump, I believe.
(00:00:02):
He's on his way back from England.
(00:00:04):
What was that conversation like?
(00:00:06):
What can you tell us about it?
(00:00:07):
We never talked about what we're talking about, but I was delayed because of President Trump.
(00:00:13):
But what I can tell you is this, that they are out to get us.
(00:00:21):
And the new book I've got, I Went to Prison So You Won't Have To, is all about how
(00:00:29):
Not only did they come after me, they came after President Trump.
(00:00:34):
They came after Steve Bannon.
(00:00:36):
They targeted everybody I served with in the White House in some manner with these
(00:00:43):
tools of lawfare.
(00:00:45):
And when I was in prison for four months for defending the Constitution,
(00:00:50):
I had the discipline to do a daily journal,
(00:00:54):
talk about these things.
(00:00:57):
And I've got this book out because if we don't hold these people accountable,
(00:01:05):
they're going to just keep doing it.
(00:01:07):
Everybody I served with in the White House the first term,
(00:01:11):
I was there for all four years,
(00:01:13):
got targeted by the left in some way.
(00:01:17):
The easiest thing that would happen is they'd have to pay hundreds of thousands of
(00:01:22):
dollars or millions of dollars in legal fees.
(00:01:24):
That's the best they could do, serving their country.
(00:01:29):
The worst you could do is what just frigging happened with my brother Charlie Kirk
(00:01:35):
taking a bullet by an assassin.
(00:01:38):
And then four times they tried to put President Trump in prison.
(00:01:44):
Two times they tried to kill him.
(00:01:46):
Bannon, myself, in prison, Mike Flynn, Rudy Giuliani.
(00:01:54):
uh so um this is not a good time for this republic but we're fighting back sir and
(00:02:01):
that's why i wrote i went to prison so you won't have to and by the way i don't
(00:02:05):
know if you saw the speech i gave at the republican national convention but that
(00:02:11):
speech was given the night of the day i actually got out of prison and it's a
(00:02:18):
wake-up call so uh i hope i hope your listeners and viewers will
(00:02:24):
Pay attention to this case.
(00:02:27):
We can't let them get power back.
(00:02:29):
They will keep doing this again until we hold them accountable.
(00:02:34):
Peter Navarro with us now.
(00:02:35):
He served four months in prison.
(00:02:36):
What was prison like?
(00:02:39):
I can't imagine it was a very fun experience, but hopefully most of the people will never know.
(00:02:44):
And the idea that you were there for political persecution is even more bonkers.
(00:02:49):
But in terms of the physical day-to-day for four months is like what in your experience?
(00:02:54):
Well, that's one of the stories where I went to prison so you won't have to.
(00:02:57):
You know, it's a lawfare story about kind of how I got in there.
(00:03:01):
It's a love story about how my fiancee Pixie and I were able to,
(00:03:07):
to manage the trauma of four months in prison.
(00:03:10):
But then inside, there's a couple things going on.
(00:03:14):
I mean, you see kind of day-to-day life of how, for example, I lost 12 pounds.
(00:03:21):
I got COVID twice because of the conditions in there.
(00:03:27):
I saw no shortage of violence, no shortage of danger, but no shortage of humanity.
(00:03:36):
I mean,
(00:03:36):
there are good people in there who did bad things,
(00:03:39):
not just bad people who did bad things.
(00:03:41):
And just trying to navigate your way through that is a test.
(00:03:49):
It's a test of who you are and what you stand for.
(00:03:54):
And there's a funny story at the beginning of I went to prison so you won't have to
(00:04:00):
about me getting surrounded in the yard.
(00:04:03):
by three guys.
(00:04:06):
And I'm thinking, you know, okay, what's going to go wrong here?
(00:04:09):
And one of them starts talking about how they liked me.
(00:04:13):
I use the word liked.
(00:04:15):
And they say, why?
(00:04:17):
Because I wasn't a snitch.
(00:04:19):
And inside,
(00:04:20):
I kind of kept a straight face,
(00:04:22):
but inside I'm laughing my ass off because I'm trying to figure out like the moral
(00:04:26):
equivalence between me refusing
(00:04:31):
a congressional subpoena to defend the Constitution.
(00:04:34):
And these guys, the classical snitch is not snitching on their fellow criminals.
(00:04:42):
So there's stuff like that.
(00:04:44):
There's some significant moments.
(00:04:46):
I saved one guy's life, arguably, helping him get some emergency medical care.
(00:04:55):
And I think one of the most interesting stories inside the story
(00:05:01):
is how I became essentially an investigative reporter that uncovered a five billion
(00:05:06):
dollar,
(00:05:07):
billion dollar scandal inside the Bureau of Prisons that now that I'm on the
(00:05:12):
outside,
(00:05:12):
I've been able to actually solve.
(00:05:14):
So I think that's like a unique historical moment that you'll never see.
(00:05:20):
And I tell that story as well.
(00:05:23):
But where were you, Peter, on election night?
(00:05:26):
And what was your reaction to Trump's victory?
(00:05:30):
Oh, this is great.
(00:05:31):
So I get out of prison on July 17th, two days after my birthday.
(00:05:36):
The son of a bitch has kept me in prison.
(00:05:38):
He wouldn't let me out two days early for my birthday.
(00:05:41):
I give the speech at night and then Pixie and I immediately go on the campaign
(00:05:47):
trail on the Trump bus.
(00:05:49):
And we were going to Georgia.
(00:05:52):
We're going to Pennsylvania.
(00:05:55):
We're going to North Carolina.
(00:05:58):
working really hard.
(00:06:02):
Sometimes I'd be one of the warm-up speakers for a Trump rally, things like that.
(00:06:07):
And so the night of the election, night is like at midnight into 3 a.m.
(00:06:13):
in the morning.
(00:06:14):
I'm with the boss.
(00:06:16):
And where I think it was, where was it?
(00:06:18):
Des Moines?
(00:06:19):
Somewhere out.
(00:06:22):
He's going on for like two hours in a speech like he loves to do and stuff like that.
(00:06:28):
I think it was Grand Rapids, Michigan, if I'm not forgetting.
(00:06:31):
That's right.
(00:06:32):
It was Grand Rapids.
(00:06:33):
We were up in the usual basketball hockey rink up in the country you and I love,
(00:06:40):
up in flyover country.
(00:06:43):
And it's like three in the morning before we get out of there.
(00:06:47):
And we land back in D.C.
(00:06:53):
I don't know, six in the morning, something like that.
(00:06:57):
And, you know, I was there was no doubt in my mind he was going to win that race.
(00:07:03):
Peter Navarro, the show is ending here, but I want you guys to go check it out.
(00:07:07):
I went to prison so you wouldn't have to, won't have to.
(00:07:10):
A love and lawfare story in Trump land being released yesterday.
