In the first hour of Steve Bannon’s WarRoom on Friday, Bannon opens with a fiery critique of mainstream media, recalling their hypocrisy on free speech when banning Trump and MAGA figures. He lambasts figures like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, labeling them “scumbags” for smearing the movement, especially in light of Charlie Kirk’s recent assassination. Bannon calls for immediate shutdowns of shows like Colbert’s, estimating CBS’s $40 million annual losses as in-kind Democratic donations.
He urges Justice Department lawsuits and sponsor boycotts, framing this as retribution—”common sense”—against “evil” perpetuated by biased media. Key themes include a “maximalist strategy”: seizing institutions with urgency (“action, action, action”), making reforms irreversible to prevent future reversals, even if elections are stolen like in 2020. Bannon emphasizes populist nationalism, eradicating DEI and transgender “indoctrination,” and designating groups like Antifa and certain transgender militias as terrorist organizations, citing FBI scoops on nihilistic violent extremists (NVEs).
A major segment features an interview with Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison, hailed for “scalping” Texas A&M President Mark Welsh amid backlash over DEI and transgender programs. Harrison credits grassroots MAGA activists for pressuring Welsh’s resignation, criticizing Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republicans as “gutless wimps” for superficial actions like expelling students while ignoring systemic rot.
He reveals taxpayer-funded indoctrination across Texas universities, including minors in LGBT studies at Texas State. Harrison demands a special legislative session to defund DEI, fire indoctrinators, and end “woke nonsense,” positioning Texas as pivotal to saving the Republic. He directs viewers to his Twitter (@BrianEHarrison
) for amplification, stressing public pressure’s role in victories.
Bannon transitions to broader cultural battles, noting Trump’s approval rating surge to +7 (a 10-point rise since Kirk’s assassination), attributing it to decisive leadership against domestic threats. He discusses Ken Klippenstein’s FBI reports on NVEs and calls for probing media partners and NGOs aiding terrorists.The hour includes an interview with pollster Mark Mitchell, who dismisses MSNBC’s relevance (ranked below niche sites) and celebrates media declines due to boycotts.
Mitchell analyzes Trump’s polling bounce as a rally-behind-the-leader effect amid crises, contrasting it with historical presidential slumps. He warns of internet radicalization via platforms like Reddit, Discord, and Steam, where algorithms and unchecked communities foster transgenderism, anarchy, and Marxism among Zoomers. Mitchell notes Reddit’s ban of pro-Trump subreddits stifled free ideas, enabling leftist monoculture.
He anticipates House Oversight hearings on CEOs for cultivating terrorist networks, tying this to a “messy fourth turning”—societal collapse and reform. Mitchell critiques corporatism (not true capitalism), alienating youth, and urging benevolent reform to avert chaos. He promotes his work at @Rasmussen_Poll
and YouTube.Bannon closes by advocating the eradication of Marxism’s sociological roots (e.g., critical theory) “root and branch,” rejecting unification for victorious wins without leftist violence.
BANNON: The Left Is In Full Meltdown Mode Over The Scumbag Jimmy Kimmel. He Smeared Our Movement And The Memory Of Charlie Kirk Because He Thought He Could Get Away With It. WRONG. He’s Gone

BANNON: Decades Of Globalist And Marxist Influence Have Warped Public And Private Education, Producing Unhappy, Radicalized, Suicidal Youth. What Happened In Utah Is The Wake-Up Call
In the second hour of Friday’s WarRoom, Bannon intensifies his call for a cultural and political purge, framing the Trump administration’s early months as a rapid escalation akin to McCarthyism on steroids. He highlights punishments against media figures like Jimmy Kimmel, university firings (e.g., Texas A&M’s president over DEI controversies), and federal monitors at Columbia, portraying these as necessary to reshape institutions and suppress “bad news.”
Bannon rejects calls to tone down rhetoric, slamming Utah Gov. Spencer Cox as a “national embarrassment” for urging de-escalation and unity with Antifa. Instead, he demands immediate designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, FBI raids, and probes into transgender militias as “nihilistic violent extremists” (NVEs), citing Ken Klippenstein’s FBI scoops.
Bannon vows no compromise: “We have not yet begun to fight,” accusing Republicans like Cox and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott of enabling woke ideologies while hiding behind tough talk.
Central to the hour is Bannon’s impassioned defense of Sen. Joe McCarthy, recommending M. Stanton Evans’ Blacklisted by History as essential reading alongside Andrew Breitbart’s Righteous Indignation. He debunks McCarthy as a drunk, praising his 1950 six-hour Senate speech eviscerating Gen. George Marshall for “who lost China” in 1949—handing it to Mao’s communists via Marxist-infiltrated State Department officials like Alger Hiss. Bannon ties this to the broader evolution of Marxism: not economic communism (which failed), but sociological, via the Frankfurt School, Herbert Marcuse, critical theory, critical race theory, and queer theory—”the descent into hell.”
He accuses globalists and Marxists of betraying America post-WWII, arming Stalin unnecessarily, halting Patton and Montgomery from Berlin, and enabling Eastern Europe’s captivity. This historical betrayal manifests today in public schools “molding children into unhappy, unfulfilled, and oftentimes murderous” individuals, which Bannon suggests designating as terrorist organizations.
The interview with Wayne Allyn Root, a conservative commentator and Obama’s classmate at Columbia, amplifies these themes. Root recounts leading a vigil for assassinated Charlie Kirk in Las Vegas, rejecting “Kumbaya” unity: “We don’t want to kill our enemy… Only the left does it.”
He shares personal stories of being bullied in Mount Vernon, NY, learning to fight back, drawing parallels to Trump’s New York swagger—earning respect through confrontation. Root describes Columbia’s reaction to Reagan’s 1981 shooting: students cheered, assuming he died, mirroring leftists’ glee over Kirk’s murder.
He critiques Utah under Cox as fiscally conservative but socially “woke,” infiltrated by transgender groups, queer organizations, and pro-immigration policies tied to the Mormon Church, which profits from illegals via government subsidies. Salt Lake City, he says, resembles liberal havens with homelessness and drugs, potentially linked to Kirk’s killing by armed Marxist resistance.
Bannon rails against infantilism at Utah Valley University, where returning students post-Kirk’s death received stuffed animals and candy—perpetuating the “furry” mindset that destroyed the shooter. He condemns AI recreations of Kirk as “summoning demons,” insisting Kirk’s legacy as a “modern-day Christian saint and martyr” endures through action, not algorithms. Skeptical of the official narrative, Bannon questions the shooter’s articulate texts and furry porn ties, demanding videos and deeper probes.

BANNON: I Would Argue That Charlie Kirk Is A Modern-Day Christian Saint. Flat Out. A Patriot And A Martyr Who Gave His Life Bravely For His Faith
