In today’s episode of Steve Bannon’s War Room on September 17, 2025, the show delved into a whirlwind of pressing national issues, framing them as battles in President Donald Trump’s ongoing fight against a “dying regime.” Bannon, broadcasting with his signature intensity, wove together congressional hearings, polling insights, and calls to action, emphasizing themes of political violence, institutional distrust, and cultural radicalization under Trump’s administration.

A dominant theme was the rise of political violence and the emergence of radical groups. Bannon highlighted the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah, linking it to a surge in attacks, including the murders of Democratic figures like Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman.

He accused left-wing entities, such as Antifa-inspired militias and transgender paramilitary groups, of inciting “direct action”—code for sabotage, firebombing, and assassinations—via online platforms.

Bannon urged designating these as terrorist organizations for RICO investigations, warning they threaten coexistence and fuel election interference.

Government hearings and institutional weaponization formed another core thread. Clips from House Judiciary and Committee sessions showcased fiery exchanges. FBI Director Kash Patel faced accusations from Rep. Jamie Raskin of purging agents for Trump loyalty, mishandling the Kirk manhunt, and diverting resources to immigration crackdowns over counter-terrorism. Similarly, former CDC Director Susan Monaris testified about her firing, claiming Health Secretary RFK Jr. demanded ideologically driven vaccine policy changes without evidence. Bannon dismissed her as a “nobody” resisting necessary reforms in a $1.5 trillion industry, praising Trump’s appointees for challenging the Deep State.

Vaccine skepticism is intertwined with public health integrity, amplified by polling showing 56% of Americans believe COVID-19 vaccines cause unexplained deaths. Bannon and guests critiqued childhood vaccine schedules, like newborn hepatitis B shots, demanding scientific proof amid measles outbreaks.

The Epstein files symbolized cover-ups and failures of transparency. Democrats grilled Patel for allegedly redacting Trump’s name, contradicting his pre-appointment promises of full disclosure. Bannon portrayed this as elite protectionism, betraying trafficking victims.

Political division was evident in Bannon’s rejection of bipartisan unity post-violence, accusing Democrats of instigation and gaslighting. Social media radicalization focused on Reddit as a “cesspool” for leftist recruitment, suppressing pro-Trump voices since 2016, with Chinese investor ties.

Broader societal issues included public opinion as reflected in polls, economic hedges such as gold amid a $32 trillion debt, and stories about the J6 prisoners. Bannon interviewed Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports, who unpacked data on vaccine distrust and Reddit’s role in youth radicalization, urging aggressive reforms.

Throughout, Bannon positioned Trump—visiting England for a state reception—as a great leader, calling for medieval resolve against enemies. Wednesday’s episode underscored America’s fragility, demanding action to secure the America First vision.
