The Navarro Express

American taxpayers invented a battery that could break us free from China — no lithium, no cobalt, 30-year life. So why is the first factory in Changzhou, not Kentucky? Peter Navarro on the sneak attack behind it, Beijing's IDAR playbook, and the 1980 law that could bring it home. No filler. No spin.

American taxpayers paid to invent a battery that could break the country's dependence on China — no lithium, no cobalt, no fire risk, and a thirty-year life. NASA flew it; a Stanford lab, on Energy Department money, made it affordable. So why is the first factory building it at scale located in Changzhou, China, instead of Shelbyville, Kentucky? Peter Navarro pulls back the curtain on what he calls another sneak attack on America's technology base: the Chinese capital behind the $300 million round, a CEO who made building in China a condition of the job, the predatory city-scale subsidies of China's self-styled "new energy capital," and Beijing's IDAR doctrine — introduce, digest, absorb, re-innovate — for turning Western breakthroughs into Chinese products. He explains how Kentucky's promised 450 jobs vanished, and makes the case for finally using the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act's never-exercised "march-in" power to bring taxpayer-funded technology home. No filler. No spin. Just the hard truth at Navarro speed.

Peter Navarro joins John Catsimatidis on WABC to break down a new White House Council of Economic Advisers study putting a price tag on the Democrat socialist agenda — the Mamdani, AOC, and DSA platforms. Navarro walks through the numbers: $52 trillion in costs over a decade, a debt-to-GDP ratio he says would balloon toward 254% by 2036, and why the "just tax the billionaires" promise raises only a fraction of the tab. He argues the agenda would hit young Americans hardest — the very group a majority of whom now view socialism favorably — and makes the case for reading the study before heading to the polls in November. Then he turns to his new book, Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison: the fight inside the first Trump White House, the public-versus-private diary, and the warning he says Fauci never gave. No filler. No spin. Just the hard truth at Navarro speed.

The financial press called the September jobs report a miss — Peter Navarro says they got it wrong again. He takes the number apart: unemployment rose only because the labor force grew, with prime-age employment and participation both climbing. The private sector added jobs while government payrolls shrank, manufacturing gained another 9,000, and the factory-construction crews building the plants of 2027 and 2028 kept hiring. Real wages for manufacturing and construction workers are up, jobless claims are the lowest relative to the workforce since 1967, and unemployment for Americans without a high school diploma hit a record low. So why did the Warsh Fed hike rates in September, into the teeth of an oil shock, with no demand-side inflation to cure? Navarro flags the timing — a rate hike 48 days before the election, the mirror image of the Fed's 50-point cut 48 days before the 2024 vote — and asks who's really running the Fed.

Anthony Fauci has crashed back into American politics — and he's dragging his top aides and the Democrat Party with him. Peter Navarro breaks down the reckoning tightening around him: Fauci invoking the Fifth 111 times, a fifteen-year special assistant who just took the Fifth too, and a senior adviser who already pled guilty to hiding federal records. Senator Rand Paul now appears to have a material witness who was standing right outside Fauci's door for the conversations that mattered — including the day features of the virus reportedly "look engineered" and records were destroyed by the thousands. Navarro, who served as the first Trump White House's pandemic quartermaster, explains why Paul's push for immunity failed on a party-line vote, why Democrats keep circling the wagons, and why this should never have been a partisan issue when more than a million Americans died. Plus his new book, Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison, on Amazon now. No filler. No spin. Just the hard truth at Navarro speed.

Peter Navarro joins Steve Bannon's War Room on the manufacturing renaissance the media won't cover: a thousand jobs at Peterbilt, a $15B steel plant transforming rural Iowa, GDP revised up, inflation down — and why the Fed keeps hiking anyway. Plus his new book, Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison. No filler. No spin.

GDP revised up to 2.2%, inflation cooler than expected, manufacturing booming — so why did the Fed hike rates again? Peter Navarro on the central bank's supply-side blind spot and why Trumpnomics delivers growth without inflation. Plus his new book, Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison, on Amazon. No filler. No spin.

Peter Navarro joins Steve Clemons at the American Growth Summit for a discussion on reindustrialization: aluminum coming back to Oklahoma and Kentucky, the economic cold war with China and its 2049 endgame, why the Xi summit solved none of it, and a blunt message for Canada's negotiators. 

Peter Navarro joins NTD News as Xi Jinping arrives in Washington — and lays out the stakes. Navarro frames the visit against China's sustained campaign of economic aggression, the roughly 50% tariffs and export controls the administration is holding firm on, and the "seven deadly sins" behind the 2018 Section 301 tariffs. He digs into his White House report, The Great Transshipment Scam, exposing how China routes goods through 40-plus countries to dodge U.S. tariffs — and the AI "Detective Border" pilot with Customs and Border Protection that screens shipments at the container level in real time. Then he turns to his new book, Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison: the gain-of-function funding, the "proximal origin" cover-up, and the diary that shows what Fauci said in private versus what he told the public.

Peter Navarro joins Steve Bannon's War Room as the Fauci investigation tightens. Senator Rand Paul is moving to subpoena and immunize Patricia Conrad — a former Fauci special assistant Navarro calls the "shredder-in-chief" — who was in the room at the critical January moment when leading scientists warned the virus likely came from the Wuhan lab. Navarro breaks down John Solomon's reporting, the party-line 8-to-7 vote where Democrats blocked immunity, and the predicate already set by a top Fauci aide who pled guilty and faces prison. He argues this is a nonpartisan reckoning — a million dead, 17 million reporting long COVID and vaccine injuries — and ties it to the media cartel that blacked out President Trump during the Xi summit. Plus his new book, Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison, where he's the prosecutor, you're the jury, and all 15 counts are on the table.
