Bannon: Designate Antifa As A Domestic Terrorist Organization, Freeze Their Bank Accounts, Declare Martial Law On Portland, Shut Them Down, Round Them Up, And Go Kick Down Some Doors Today. Perp Walk Them. Chain Them Up And Take Them Down To Prison

Steve Bannon delivered a fiery, unapologetic response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, framing it not as an isolated act of violence but as a turning point in America’s ongoing political struggle. He praised Kirk as a Christian patriot and a transformational leader whose work at Turning Point reshaped the conservative movement much like the revolutionary generation did in their 20s. In Bannon’s telling, Kirk was executed because he stood for truth and refused to bow to the cultural left.

Bannon blasted law enforcement for their failures, saying they are quick to pat themselves on the back after tragedies but fail to act when red flags are obvious. He condemned the "performative” security theater—tanks, Humvees, and tactical gear arriving after the fact—while families and communities are left unprotected. For Bannon, the system is compromised by political correctness and weak leadership that refuse to confront violent radicals until it’s too late.

Instead of empty gestures of "unity,” Bannon demanded decisive action. He called for Antifa to be designated a domestic terrorist organization, for their financial networks to be dismantled, and for federal law enforcement to pursue them with the same intensity they used against January 6 defendants. He urged martial law in Portland, nationwide RICO prosecutions, and a sweeping crackdown on the politicians, journalists, and donors who enable left-wing extremism. To him, this is not rhetoric but the necessary use of state power to defend the Republic.

Bannon rejected establishment Republicans and "woke” governors who preach kumbaya politics, arguing that their weakness is exactly why America is in decline. He declared that conservatives cannot settle for peace talks or compromise—only victory will secure the nation’s survival. In his view, Charlie Kirk’s death must be honored not just with mourning, but by finishing the fight he gave his life for: dismantling the deep state, crushing radical leftist networks, and restoring America’s greatness through courage and action.

Bradley Thayer On Antifa: These Guys Are The Shock Troops Of The Left

Dr. Bradley Thayer argued Antifa meets the definition of a domestic terrorist organization: coercive, violent, targeting civilians to achieve ideological goals that undermine the republic. He outlined three operational roles: muscle—street shock troops that seize public space and intimidate opponents; a recruitment and training pipeline that grooms young activists into "street fighters”; and a political shield that provides plausible deniability for sympathetic politicians, media, and NGOs. Thayer traced funding and coordination to groups and networks (e.g., ActBlue, Arabella) and warned of transnational links, including influence from the Chinese Communist Party. He compared Antifa’s function to historical paramilitaries—the Red Guards, Brownshirts, and IRA auxiliaries—arguing such groups are tools for authoritarian movements.

Thayer emphasized that Antifa’s tactics coerce and demoralize opponents, suppress campus free expression, and normalize violence as a political method. He urged vigorous government measures—investigations, prosecutions, financial disruptions, and use of counterterror tools—to prevent escalation. Bannon concurred, framing the phenomenon as an existential threat that inspires lone actors and demanding decisive state action: expose networks, cut financing, and restore deterrence before violence escalates further. He urged aggressive legal tools—use RICO, designate Antifa terrorist, freeze assets, subpoena donors, seize communications, and coordinate federal-state prosecutions immediately relentlessly to comprehensively dismantle their networks.

Don Powers On Antifa’s Siege Of ICE In Portland: The Trump Admin Needs To Take This More Seriously

Steve Bannon and Don Powers discussed the ongoing chaos in Portland, focusing on nightly Antifa-led actions against the ICE facility and the broader deterioration of public order. Powers described a city gripped by lawlessness: over 100 consecutive days of protests, residents terrorized by noise and crime, and police unwilling to intervene within blocks of the ICE building. He noted repeated violent incidents—citizens burned with gasoline, businesses shuttered, and past murders by left-wing activists—yet prosecutors dismiss serious crimes as misdemeanors.

Both men stressed that Antifa is effectively a domestic terrorist organization, even if it lacks a traditional hierarchy. Powers detailed how activists communicate secretly, house operatives in rentals, and coordinate interstate actions. He argued that refusal to recognize Antifa as organized terror allows them to continue unchecked.

Bannon pressed on whether Portland citizens would support a crackdown, and Powers said frustration is widespread, but liberal leadership and mail-in voting keep the city captive to chaos. Until elections are reformed and citizens rise up in "mass non-compliance,” he argued, Portland will remain paralyzed.

The conversation closed on Charlie Kirk’s assassination, with Powers hopeful that Kirk’s courage would inspire young Turning Point activists in Oregon to take up leadership and resist leftist intimidation.
