Steve Bannon To President Trump: "The CIA Is To The Tenth Power Worse Than The FBI.”

Steve Bannon opened his January 2025 “WarRoom” broadcast with a stark warning about the challenges ahead as President Trump prepares to assume office in less than three weeks. Framing the moment as a battle against entrenched power, Bannon compared Trump’s return to Washington to Abraham Lincoln’s arrival during a time of national division. He emphasized the hostile environment Trump faces, likening the administrative state and deep state to a "cold-blooded regime” that controls the levers of government, despite electoral outcomes.

Bannon declared the necessity of dismantling this apparatus, calling for unwavering commitment to restoring constitutional governance. He criticized frivolity and misplaced optimism, urging his audience to focus on the gravity of the task. Assembling a roster of expert guests, including military officers and analysts, Bannon underscored the urgency of "seizing the institutions” and preparing for an extended struggle.

Highlighting systemic corruption, Bannon singled out the CIA and FBI for criticism, advocating for reform to realign these agencies with constitutional principles. He warned of dark days ahead but expressed confidence in victory, contingent on the movement’s perseverance and focus.

Col. Derek Harvey Blows Whistle On Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrating Intel Agencies

In this conversation, Col. Derrek Harvey and Steve Bannon explore critical issues within U.S. intelligence and security agencies, focusing on the competence of leadership and their priorities. Harvey criticizes the FBI and intelligence community (IC) for misdirecting their efforts toward the wrong domestic threats, such as MAGA supporters, while neglecting the influence of hostile foreign organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood. He highlights the dangers posed by groups financed by Qatar and other entities that promote anti-American ideologies, particularly through Islamic institutions in the U.S. These groups, Harvey claims, have infiltrated agencies like the FBI, skewing intelligence priorities.

Bannon supports Harvey’s view, stressing the need for leadership reforms, specifically in the FBI and CIA, which he believes have failed to adhere to laws and executive orders. Both men argue that these agencies are protecting their own institutional interests instead of addressing real threats. They call for leaders who will enforce the law without hesitation and hold accountable those who obstruct reforms.

The conversation also touches on the issue of detailees within the national security apparatus. Harvey suggests reducing their numbers and screening them more carefully, as many were brought in during the Obama administration and may not align with the priorities of a new leadership.

Ezra Cohen: Separate Law Enforcement From Domestic Intelligence

In a this with Steve Bannon, Ezra Cohen discussed the deeply entrenched problems within U.S. intelligence agencies, particularly the FBI and CIA. Cohen emphasized that these agencies, which have been bolstered by billions of dollars since 9/11, are now more ineffective and intrusive than ever. He pointed out that instead of improving national security, they have become overly focused on encroaching on American civil liberties while failing to address key threats, like terrorism.

Cohen stressed that the solution lies in a drastic overhaul of these institutions. On day one of a new administration, he suggested that the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security should work with the new FBI director (likely Cash Patel) to reassess the core missions of the FBI and the CIA, with a focus on counterintelligence and counterterrorism. He also proposed separating law enforcement from intelligence operations to make these agencies more effective.

Cohen and Bannon also discussed the failures of past leadership, citing examples like the CIA’s role in initiating Trump’s first impeachment. They argued that individuals who engaged in intelligence abuses have been promoted instead of held accountable. Cohen called for aggressive action, likening the need for reform to using a “blowtorch” to root out the corruption and inefficiency within these agencies.

Col. John Mills On Radical Islamic Terrorism Infiltrating The U.S. Military

Steve Bannon and Colonel John Mills focused on the growing radicalization within the U.S. military and the broader security threats facing the country. Colonel Mills linked the military’s radicalization to the influence of divisive ideologies like DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and Critical Race Theory (CRT), claiming that these forces were exacerbating division rather than resolving it. He argued that these programs, aimed initially at combating discrimination, were instead creating hatred and unrest, particularly among white, Christian male groups. Mills also warned about the dangers of ungoverned spaces, specifically in Northern Mexico, where cartels, Chinese special operators, and Iranian intelligence are said to operate. Houston, he noted, has become a forward operating base for these threats. Mills stressed the need to connect these dots to understand the full scope of the danger posed to U.S. national security.

Todd Bensman On How The Mexican Government Has Facilitated Islamic Terrorism In The United States

In a conversation between Todd Bensman and Steve Bannon, they discussed the imminent chaos surrounding potential U.S. actions regarding Ukraine and illegal immigration. Bensman warned of a propaganda war and legal battles set to begin on January 20, with the opposition prepared to fight against any immigration policies, using information warfare and litigation. He acknowledged the challenges President Trump would face in implementing his plans, stressing that opposition forces would stop at nothing to maintain control.

Bensman also highlighted the increasing radicalization and chaos across America, from violent incidents in New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Chicago, to the threats posed by foreign operatives in Mexico. He called out the divisive rhetoric of DEI policies, pointing to their negative impact on military culture and societal cohesion.

Bensman and Bannon agreed that America’s resilience would be tested, particularly in the face of violence and chaos unleashed by those opposing the America First agenda. They emphasized the need for firm resolve and determination to reclaim control, despite the opposition’s tactics of subversion and deceit.

Jack Posobiec Warns Of Media Smear Of Trump Agenda In Early Days

In this exchange between Jack Posobiec and Steve Bannon, the two discuss the intense political battle facing President Trump and the America First movement. Bannon stresses that the opposition, fearing the success of Trump’s agenda, will not engage in fair debate but will resort to information warfare, political violence, and chaos to undermine the movement. He warns that America’s founding principles of grit and determination are being tested by forces seeking to suppress the nation’s power and resilience. The conversation reflects a sense of urgency, with Bannon encouraging unwavering resolve and faith in the movement’s ability to restore the nation.

Posobiec highlights the importance of firm resolve and warns against being swayed by media narratives that aim to play on emotions and fear, citing examples of recent violence. They both emphasize that the political struggle is against powerful global forces, including the globalist elite and national security establishment. Bannon envisions a “hostile takeover” of the government, where Trump’s first actions in office would be swift and decisive, implementing the promised changes to secure the nation’s future. The discussion concludes with a call to action, urging listeners to stay committed to the cause for the benefit of future generations.
