“Steve Bannon Declares War on ‘Nerd Rule’: The Fight to Free America from Elite Tyranny”
Steve Bannon isn’t pulling punches. On Friday’s WarRoom, he unleashed a fiery tirade against what he dubs “Nerd Rule.” His target? The elite class of tech moguls, media giants, and political power brokers who, according to Bannon, are waging war on everyday Americans.
“They want total control,” Bannon said bluntly. “From Gavin Newsom to Mark Zuckerberg, their mission is simple: lock the doors, close the opportunities, and rule over you like kings.”
Who Are the Nerds?
Bannon defines them as the architects of an elite oligarchy: tech titans, bureaucrats, and media influencers working hand-in-hand to hoard power. Zuckerberg, Newsom, and others represent what Bannon describes as a coalition to centralize control. “They use government, tech, and media as weapons. Weapons to crush dissent and keep regular Americans out of the game,” Bannon declared.
He described them as “Soulless technocrats and antisocial bureaucrats who look down on working-class Americans. They hide behind algorithms and regulations to control every aspect of our lives while staying completely detached from the real struggles of the people.”

What Do They Want?
Power. Pure and simple. Bannon argues this group seeks to create a system where “only their chosen few” thrive. “These aren’t geniuses or visionaries,” Bannon said. “They’re nerds with a God complex, and they’re coming for everything—your voice, your vote, and your freedom.”
He pointed to California’s economic policies under Newsom as an example of elite control stifling opportunity. “Look at California—homelessness, crime, despair. That’s not a bug in their system; it’s the feature. That’s Nerd Rule,” he said.

Why Bannon’s Fighting Back
For Bannon, this isn’t just a political skirmish. It’s a battle for the soul of America. “This is about the America First agenda. It’s about freedom, about opportunity. About making sure the elites can’t crush the little guy,” he emphasized.
Bannon says the populist movement he champions is the only thing standing in the way. “They fear us because we’re a threat. They see the 1,000 flowers blooming—average Americans stepping up—and it terrifies them.”
How He Plans to Win
The WarRoom is Bannon’s command center. His plan? Empower and mobilize the grassroots. “We’re going to shine a light on their corruption. Their schemes. Their lies,” he promised. “Every time they push us down, we’ll get back up.”
Bannon called for decentralizing power and dismantling the institutions that prop up Nerd Rule. “We need to break up Big Tech. Dismantle the administrative state. Take the fight to them. Brick by brick.”
He also emphasized the role of alternative media and grassroots organizing. “The mainstream media is part of the problem. They’re just regurgitating the same crap. But we’ve got platforms like WarRoom. We’re breaking through the noise.”
The Nemesis of the Populist Movement
Bannon didn’t mince words about what’s at stake. “This isn’t just politics. It’s war. It’s Nerd Rule versus freedom. Elites versus the forgotten men and women of this country.”
He closed with a call to action: “We’re not backing down. This is a fight for the Republic. We’re here to win. And we will.”
With his WarRoom platform and a growing army of disillusioned Americans, Bannon is gearing up for a fight that, in his words, will determine the future of the nation. “Days of Thunder are coming,” he warned. “Get ready.”
