Steve Bannon On MAGA’s Takeover Of The Administrative State
Steve Bannon’s remarks on War Room cover a broad strategy for reshaping the U.S. government and confronting perceived institutional decay. He emphasizes the importance of immediate action, calling for a structured “flood the zone” approach to overwhelm the current system. This includes simultaneous confirmation hearings, decisive actions on the economy, immigration, and “de-wokification” of government institutions, particularly the Pentagon. Bannon sees these efforts as part of a broader plan to dismantle oligarchic control by Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Hollywood, which he argues dictate the political agenda through a compliant class of politicians.
Central to his vision is the need for civilian reassertion over the Pentagon and reversing policies tied to political correctness and diversity initiatives. Highlighting the insidious spread of such policies, military experts on the show critique the Department of Defense for diverting resources toward social agendas rather than national defense. They advocate for a return to traditional military priorities, streamlining operations, and eliminating cultural distractions.
Bannon underscores urgency, urging the MAGA movement to maintain momentum and keep opponents off balance. He envisions transformative leadership under figures like Pete Hegseth, believing such changes will realign the military’s focus on its core mission of defending the nation and winning wars.
Andrew & Katie Cherkasky Discuss Streamlining The Military’s True Goals Under Pete Hegseth
Steve Bannon spoke with Katie and Andrew Cherkasky about their critique of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) shift toward “woke” policies, as detailed in their book Oak Warriors and a recent New York Post op-ed. Katie, a former military prosecutor, highlighted how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies have infiltrated the military, diverting resources and causing the loss of seasoned members over trivial infractions. She stressed the urgency of reversing these policies to refocus on the military’s primary mission—defending the nation and winning wars.
Andrew described the problem as systemic, dating back to the Obama administration, where initiatives like the #MeToo movement began eroding military effectiveness. He criticized the Pentagon’s prioritization of environmental programs and DEI over critical defense needs, calling it a misuse of resources.
They praised Pete Hegseth as a potential reformer, citing his deep understanding of the cultural issues undermining the military. Andrew emphasized the need for immediate action, like rescinding DEI directives and reevaluating military funding priorities to restore focus on warfighting capabilities.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville On The RINOs Still In Congress
In this conversation between Steve Bannon and Tommy Tuberville, they discuss several pressing issues, with a focus on political battles, military leadership, and national security. Tuberville reflects on his emotional experience visiting Normandy, where his father fought during D-Day, contrasting the honor of the event with disappointment in leaders like Macron and Biden for their poor treatment of veterans. Bannon and Tuberville also discuss the resistance in Washington, particularly in relation to the confirmation of Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz, with both men expressing concern about the political establishment’s efforts to undermine Trump’s agenda. They discuss the alleged 2020 election fraud and Biden’s mishandling of critical issues like the Ukraine conflict, military leadership, and the Afghanistan withdrawal. Tuberville stresses the importance of holding military leadership accountable, especially after the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members. They also touch on broader security concerns, including China’s influence and the potential for the U.S. to help Panama build a wall to address immigration issues. The conversation concludes with a call to action for stronger leadership and a more unified effort to defend American interests.

Steve Bannon: Democrats Want President Trump To Fail Catastrophically
Steve Bannon emphasized the critical need for a President to seize control of government institutions, noting that this is what the American people voted for. He discussed the scale of the federal workforce, highlighting around 10 million people, including military personnel, federal employees, and contractors, involved in managing the $6.5 trillion government budget. Bannon pointed out that while the President has 4,000 political appointees, only about 3,000 can be immediately active without Senate confirmation. He criticized the Senate’s role, which he believes has evolved into a human resources function, particularly in managing appointments and treaties.
Bannon explained the phases involved in standing up a new administration, starting with landing teams and eventually forming full teams, likening the process to a military operation. He stressed that the “watch” will be relieved on January 20, 2025, at noon when Donald Trump takes office, symbolizing a dramatic shift in control. The focus, according to Bannon, is on efficiently navigating this transition, ensuring that the incoming administration is ready to take charge immediately and begin implementing its agenda.
Dave Bossie Discusses Matt Gaetz Nomination And President Trump’s Other Top-Tier Nominations
In this conversation between Steve Bannon and Dave Bosse, the focus is on the critical importance of taking control of government institutions, particularly during President Trump’s potential second term. Bannon praises Bosse for his ability to get things done without making a lot of noise but still being ready to stir things up when necessary. He stresses the importance of strategically placing effective surrogates and the need for constant, relentless media engagement, not just with traditional outlets like Fox, but across all platforms, including CNN and MSNBC.
Bosse and Bannon agree on the significance of Matt Gaetz as a key player in this process, with Bannon describing Gaetz as a true change agent who has experienced the weaponization of the government firsthand. According to Bannon, Gaetz’s role in the Department of Justice is critical, as he understands the system’s flaws and is committed to tearing it down. Both men emphasize the importance of supporting Gaetz and other nominees to enact systematic change.
Bannon warns that if Republican senators stand in the way of Trump’s nominees, there should be consequences. He highlights that Trump’s victory and the success of Republicans in the Senate are due to Trump’s leadership and that blocking his nominees would undermine the people’s will for change.
