Buckle up, patriots—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove, the fearless truth-seekers of the airwaves, dive headfirst into Season 7, Episode 202, “Peter Navarro Destroys the Council on Foreign Relations; President Trump Meeting with Secretary General of NATO,” airing October 23, 2025, at 12:05 PM Eastern, as they unpack Navarro’s blistering attack on the Council on Foreign Relations’ globalist trade policies that gutted U.S. manufacturing, spotlighting their role in disastrous deals like NAFTA and China’s WTO entry, while Trump’s high-stakes meeting with NATO’s Mark Rutte pushes for Ukraine-Russia peace and stronger allied defense commitments. Jeff and Shannon break down Navarro’s case for reciprocal tariffs—backed by $19 trillion in foreign investment to rebuild America’s industrial might—exposing the CFR’s anti-tariff bias and the media’s refusal to question globalist funding of protests like those tied to the Arabella Network, while also tackling the government shutdown’s chaos, driven by Democrats’ demands for illegal immigrant healthcare, and Trump’s bold moves like sanctioning Russian oil and pardoning Binance’s CZ to counter Biden-era overreach. The truth is learned, never told; the constitution is your weapon—tune in at noon-0-five Eastern LIVE to stand with Trump!

Discussed Topics

Council on Foreign Relations Trade Policy Critique

Peter Navarro delivered a comprehensive critique of CFR's historical trade positions at their headquarters, directly challenging the globalist establishment.

Details

Peter Navarro: CFR has been uniformly anti-tariff and anti-Trump, embodying establishment, technocratic, and globalist ideology wedded to Wall Street and multinational corporations

Peter Navarro: CFR members helped negotiate NAFTA which hollowed out U.S. manufacturing base and triggered illegal mass migration

Peter Navarro: CFR championed China's 2001 WTO entry, calling it the single worst trade deal in American history

Peter Navarro: The WTO's most favored nation rule allows countries to charge America far higher tariffs than we charge them (Germany charges 10% on autos, U.S. charges 2.5%)

Peter Navarro: During Trump's first term, CFR's predictions of inflation and recession from tariffs never materialized

Peter Navarro: Economic security is national security - you cannot project power if you've surrendered production
