PARTAIL TRANSCRIPT
Hi. I’m Peter Navarro, it is March 12, 2023, and here is some breaking news: Fox News show host Tucker Carlson has purportedly sent out a questionnaire on America’s Ukraine policy to a set of Republican presidential candidates.
My immediate thought upon hearing this news was, to speak in the salty vernacular of one of my old Chiefs of Staff at the Trump White House, John Kelly, “Who the hell does Tucker think he is?”
Before I try and answer to that question, settle down all you fan boys and fan girls of Tucker. I like Tucker, and Tucker has been good to me – at least he was up until the point where the Fox brass canceled me from his show. I’ll get to that in a minute; but first, this:
What Tucker is doing seems to be the height of arrogance. In effect, Tucker thinks his ratings are so big that he can set himself up as a powerbroker in the 2024 presidential race as if he were the actual Fox network itself – such questionnaires the sponsorship of debates are typically the province of the network itself, across the cable news diaspora.
To put this another way, Tucker is sending out questionnaires to presidential candidates and in the apparent belief that because the show is so popular and highly rated, these candidates must kiss Tucker’s ring and fill out those questionnaires – or risk retribution if a candidate fails to answer the questionnaire.
Truth be told, I’d like to know the answers to a lot of the questions Tucker is asking. But where does this end? Is Hannity going to start sending out questionnaires? How about Laura or Jesse or Brian Kilmeade?
And if Tucker at Fox can do it, why not Ari Melber at MSNBC or Joy Reed at CNN?
The answer is that of course none of these other talk show hosts are going to go down that road, at least not without permission from their network, yet Tucker thinks he can do it because the show was so popular.
Here is my real concern about giving Tucker so much power to influence the 2024 election.
Numero Uno is that Tucker Carlson isnota Donald Trump fan. That is certainly no secret in the recent spate of emails and other correspondence that have leaked out from a lawsuit confirm this statement.
Second, is on air personality aside, Tucker appears to care more about ratings than policy. Put simply, is not a MAGA true believer but simply a pragmatist to, like a jeweler with precision that the resentments of his audience. This too is revealed in the email correspondence recently leaked.
Third, and most worrisome, Tucker ultimately gets his paycheck from Rupert Murdoch and the Fox News Corporation. Yes, Tucker is now walking an interesting tight rope taking on issues that run counter to the globalism and corporatism of Rupert, and he is getting away with it because of the popularity of the show.

Ron Paul's 2012 Hearing on Fractional Reserve Banking and High-Powered Money
This hearing of the Domestic Monetary Policy Subcommittee examined fractional reserve banking, its relationship to monetary policy, and its effect on the economy.
The hearing was held on Thursday, June 28, 2012, at 2 p.m. in Room 2128 of the Rayburn House Office Building and was titled, "Fractional Reserve Banking and the Federal Reserve: The Economic Consequences of High-Powered Money."
Witnesses:
§ Dr. John Cochran, Emeritus Professor of Economics and Emeritus Dean, School of Business, Metropolitan State College of Denver
§ Dr. Joseph Salerno, Professor of Economics, Lubin School of Business, Pace University
§ Dr. Lawrence H. White, Professor of Economics, George Mason University
"Fractional reserve banking underpins the entire banking system, yet its effects on society are completely ignored. Our financial system consists of vast amounts of credit pyramided on top of very small amounts of real savings–all backstopped by explicit and implicit government guarantees. This poses significant risks to the stability of the economy and monetary system, which ought to give pause to any serious observer of financial markets. Hopefully this hearing will create a greater understanding among the American people about the nature of the banking system, and begin the movement towards serious systematic reform. The American people deserve a financial system that is stable and efficient; one that operates without taxpayer subsidies and bailouts." - Congressman Ron Paul

Married to the Mouse:Walt Disney World and Orlando
Paperback – April 10, 2003
by Richard E. Foglesong (Author)
Description
Joined together in an “economic development marriage,” Walt Disney World and Orlando, Florida, have become the world’s most popular tourist destination. This intriguing book traces the evolution of the relationship between the Disney Co. and the surrounding community since it began in the 1960s. Like most close relationships, the Disney-Orlando union has involved conflict and compromise. Richard Foglesong shows that this evolving relationship validates the adage: whom you marry affects what you may become.
Foglesong explains how Orlando leaders seduced the Disney Co. with big road projects, how the Disney Co. shielded its property from government regulation, and how the company has used the governmental powers it acquired. In short, Disney World has become a “Vatican with Mouse ears,” the author declares.
In a balanced and thorough analysis of the Disney-Orlando story, Foglesong offers a critical account of how Disney has used - and also abused - its governmental immunities from the beginning of Disney World to the present under chairman Michael Eisner. Orlando’s experience with its biggest local employer raises broad questions about urban development policy. Can local leaders resist the demands of global corporations? Do privatization and deregulation offer a viable strategy for economic development? And is it possible to escape the weight of previous economic development decisions that seem to lock in, for example, more tourism and low wages, while locking out other opportunities?

America First Education Policy

>America First Education Policy
According to the America First website, “Instead of dividing our country by teaching an alternative version of our country’s story, our Nation’s schools should affirm and celebrate America.”
The American Founders worked to establish our system of public education for a singular end: to prepare Americans for the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Today, we have a responsibility to empower families with quality education options that nurture our communities and strengthen our Nation.
We also have a responsibility to educate our next generation about the ideals and values that make our country great. America’s Founding Fathers recognized that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Sadly, liberal academics and demagogues are challenging this self-evident proposition by embracing identity politics, division, and submission. Instead of dividing our country by teaching an alternative version of our country’s story, our Nation’s schools should affirm and celebrate America.
To accomplish these goals, we must fight for the advancement of educational opportunity for all American families. This means putting parents and students – not bureaucrats, unions, or politicians – in charge of educating our Nation’s next generation. We also must challenge progressive policies by standing against curriculum that includes patently dishonest and activist-driven information about the U.S. and our founding.
Additionally, we must give every parent the right to see all curriculum materials, and encourage schools to teach basic skills that prepare students for life as adults.
By focusing on these areas, we can help restore our public education system so it provides more choice, prepares students for lives as productive citizens, and instills our next generation with a full understanding of America’s values and heritage.
