Mission: Save America from the Administrative State Strangulation
Steve Bannon has long been a controversial and polarizing figure, but his commentary is frequently a wake-up call for those following America’s turbulent political landscape. Monday in the WarRoom, Bannon emphasized critical economic and geopolitical challenges while framing them through the lens of an ongoing cultural and ideological battle. His told the audience that his mantra—”seize the institutions“—sets the stage for his perspective on the forces at play in America’s future.

The Three Factions Opposing America First
Bannon believes three major factions are rallying against the “America First” agenda:
- NGOs
- Donor class billionaires
- Resistance media
He warned of their regrouping, saying:
“These groups are shattered right now, but don’t get me wrong—they will regroup and remain a formidable force. They’re coming back stronger, prepared to battle against everything President Trump and his supporters aim to achieve.”
These factions, Bannon argued, manipulate institutions and public opinion to maintain their dominance, posing a persistent challenge to Trump’s second-term transition strategy.
The Southern Border Invasion
The issue of border security remains at the forefront of Bannon’s critique on Monday. He referred to the influx of illegal immigration as an “invasion,” attributing it to the Biden administration’s policies:
“This illegitimate regime invited them here—not to demonize the people crossing the border—but to permanently create a voting bloc, drive down wages, and add to an economy they can’t manage themselves.”
Todd Bensman, a leading voice on border issues, has repeatedly detailed for the WarRoom how this crisis impacts national security and the economy. For Bannon, border security is not just a political talking point; it’s a foundational element of national sovereignty.
World War III: A Brewing Global Conflict
Bannon sounded alarms about what he described as the early stages of World War III. He criticized the Biden administration for escalating tensions with Russia, Ukraine, and NATO:
“The Biden regime, with NATO, is pouring gasoline on the fire in Ukraine. Zero Hedge has revealed shocking discussions about deploying tactical nuclear weapons—this is pure insanity.”
Bannon also highlighted four “red lines” drawn by China, including Taiwan, which the U.S. has reportedly failed to address adequately. The global stage, he argued, is set for unprecedented conflict fueled by poor leadership and reckless policies.
Debt and Deficit: America’s Financial Crisis
The U.S. national debt surpassing $36 trillion has been a focal point of Bannon’s criticism. He pointed to Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve’s policies as accelerants of the crisis:
“This massive debt, left to us by Yellen and the Biden regime, is a ticking time bomb. Now, all of a sudden, the media are deficit hawks. Where were they when we were piling on trillions of dollars in unnecessary spending?”
Bannon has consistently championed fiscal responsibility, advocating for smart tax cuts and spending reductions. He praised President Trump’s administration pick- Scott Bessent- as a steady hand, describing him as a "calming factor” capable of enacting a growth strategy to address the crisis.
Animal Spirits and Economic Revival
Bannon invoked the concept of “animal spirits,” referring to the entrepreneurial energy needed to revive the economy. He supports targeted tax cuts to stimulate growth:
“We need smart tax cuts—not for the billionaire donor class that got us into this mess—but for the working and middle classes. No tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security. That’s how you spark real growth.”
This approach, Bannon argues, is essential for reversing the economic damage and restoring confidence in America’s future.
Seizing the Institutions: Lessons from 2016
A recurring theme in Bannon’s commentary is the need to “seize the institutions” to prevent a repeat of the deep state’s interference. Reflecting on Trump’s first term, Bannon said:
“The administrative state and deep state will not be allowed to do in 2025 what they did in 2016. Lessons were learned, and now it’s time to act decisively.”
This strategy includes restructuring government agencies and focusing on accountability to prevent bureaucratic sabotage.
Geopolitical Quagmire: Middle East and Beyond
The Middle East, particularly the conflict involving Israel and its adversaries, is another concern for Bannon. He described the Biden administration’s role in exacerbating tensions:
“The Persians are gearing up, fueled by Biden’s disastrous policies. We’re seeing a chain reaction across the Middle East, with repercussions far beyond the region.”
Bannon tied these issues to broader global instability, including China’s crackdown on pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong and its ambitions in Taiwan.
A Call to Action: America’s Last Chance
For Bannon, the stakes couldn’t be higher. He framed the next few years as America’s last opportunity to change course:
“If your purpose is to save this country, then this country will be saved. But it will take a united effort, smart leadership, and an unwavering commitment to the principles that made America great.”
Bannon urged Americans to focus on actionable solutions, from border security to economic reform.
The Bessent Bounce and Beyond

Bannon’s Monday WarRoom commentary paints a dire picture of America’s current challenges but offers a blueprint for overcoming them. His emphasis on fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and institutional reform underscores the urgency.
As he put it:
“This is not just a political fight; it’s a battle for the soul of the nation. The time to act is now.”
The “Bessent Bounce” symbolizes a glimmer of hope—a steady hand amidst chaos. But as Bannon warns, hope alone won’t save America; it will take decisive action, bold leadership, and the resolve to confront the forces threatening the nation’s future.
