More rhetoric blah blah blah🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Whyy is there delay in subtitles
Why would Meet the Press, a supposedly information news platform invite a convicted jail bird liar and lawless person like Peter Navarro to their platform? I am done with Meet the Press . It has now become a platform that placates to the dictator. NO Peter Navarro we do not trust you and now we cannot trust Meet the Press ..
2 seats Kristen
Navarro the clown.
Why i cannot follow what he says it is so incoherent ….
What would Ron Vara do? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Even I can understand this guy 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Peter, here’s another pseudonym for ya, this one’s not some BS anagram: Phil E. Buster
Navarro is shaking. His hands shake, is he lying or nervous?
Tax cuts for whom? Not us, but the wealthy. He is lying!
Navarro needs to provide quantitative data to his statements. Good luck with that!
Navarro never gave a straight answer. How frustrating.
Booker is a clown this is exactly why he didn’t even make it to Iowa when he ran
Can't believe that you didn't ask Navarro about corrupt announcement of Trump to buy and the announcing the tariff pause, the being in oval office bragging about getting rich. Having a sleezy, greedy hedge fund guy over a respected Economist shows how Fox like your show is. Taking care of deficit means raising taxes and asking rich people to sacrifice. Corporate media is dishonest and harming our country.
Corey Booker ?? LOL
Did Trump abuse the Emergency Powers Act(IEEPA) when he had used it to impose tariffs on other countries and then paused them? How can it be an emergency when he paused them?
China produces the raw material for Pentanol and Mexico bought. American doctors has been prescribing Pentanol like ticktac to US populations. Passing the buck and blaming other countries for US failure is a classic theme.
"Keep our pork out" 😂 your pork is full of carcinogens, chemicals and all sorts of poisonous elements.
Navarro totally incompetent- love how they Monday morning quarterback themselves – yea… no plan – winging it with the world economy – let’s call it for it what it is – a dumpster fire with idiots using gasoline to put out the fire
Does he normally sound like this or is he drunk?
Fentanyl is an American problem, demand is an American problem, not China, Canada, and Mexico. It is brought in by American citizens! Liar!
Navarro is not able to complete an answer without changing the subject. Hilarious. And he keeps saying black is white and vice versa. Hilarious. Except it hurts American people. Truly deplorable.
Navarro like the others have no idea what they are talking about or what's going on, they are all sending out mixed messages.
Need a better host for America's oldest program. She sucks!
Navarro and Trump is to keep the public in total confusions. I'm self taught. Commonsense was before the Alferbet and the Aribic Numbers. Tariffs is a sales tax paid buy the consumer's not by the exporting country's.
China 🇨🇳 is where its at today because of the heaped Labor it offers in past, America an Companies close Factories 🏭 in America and open Factories 🏭 in China 🇨🇳 and taking in American Technology to educate themselves and so they did.Americans CEO'S have themselves to blames for China's RISE , selfishness for failing to pay a decent living wages, even the president his families were or still using to produce goods for them to resell to the American public at a huge profits , have they stop?
How can you know what's hungers like, when you've never known hunger, Mr. President
Practically every country's knows how to build vehicles .
Hey, lets learn to live with each other , Mars not ready for HUMANS. YET
Navarro is unique in the Trump administration as he appears to be both sincere, and capable of shame. He's only half right in his analysis of the US/China situation, and almost all wrong in his prescription, but he is actually trying. Of particular interest to me is the point where he says that DOGE is doing good work. He looks straight down at the desk, his face reddens, and his tone of voice rises into faux sincerity. He is a lying, and is uncomfortable doing so. What is this misguided man doing working with the most nakedly corrupt administration in American history?
America please remember all of this. The Midterms is our chance to control our fate. The future belongs the righteous.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯💯
What is that little gold circle on the American Flag on Peter Navarro's American flag pin?
Hocus pocus Navaro. Any freshman can see the gibrish in his explanation.
Kristen, blah, blah ,blah, can we talk about fixing the disasters on our plates today and next month, not trying to "make news" getting people to express plans or opinions on 2028. Trying to give you space to work into the job, but missing Chuck
Hedge funds and Investment Firms are the enemy within!
Still happy you didn’t vote for Harris? You know who you are.
Won’t even say it: DEPRESSION!!! “If Things Are Not Changed”! “ Members of Congress should take the PLEDGE!!! That means you Republican Congress!!! Come together before it’s too late!!
There is no more meet the press!
Navarro fobbed you off
Trouble maker😢
Everything about Trimp is prop and show. He had propped up earthmovers to give the illusion of construction in progress tobhis investors. He is like the owner of we works
Any low inflation resulting from this chaos is a recession/depression warning.
Trump is a rich reale estate man. Has no clue on tariffs. Playing a republican tough guy role. Not so smart at all.
Navarro cannot finish a thought.
He does a fine weave as well.
Everybody complains about the tariffs, but nobody comes up with any kind of viable solution. I'm curious: What will be a fair trade solution? What will bring jobs back to the United States?? I wish people would stop blaming each other and do something about it.
