Trump’s Chief Magistrate Mission and WarRoom’s Focus on the Transition
Steve Bannon started Friday’s WarRoom program by underlining the show’s mission: assisting Donald Trump’s upcoming transition. Describing one of Trump’s roles as the “Chief Magistrate,” Bannon emphasized Trump’s broader responsibilities as POTUS with Jack Posobiec, directly impacting the FBI.
This segment’s focus is on responding to what Bannon calls "the systemic rot” in Washington, D.C. From reshaping the FBI to countering media narratives, Bannon’s WarRoom is laying the groundwork for what they view as a necessary government overhaul under Trump’s leadership.
Success!
By the start of the second hour of the program, Bannon had announced that a message had been sent to the WarRoom that their mission was successful and that Mike Rogers was, according to sources close to President Trump, to be considered not in the running for the head of the FBI.

Posobiec: Mike Rogers "Not in Consideration” for FBI Chief
Rumors swirled recently about Mike Rogers being considered for the FBI Director role. Fox News and other corporate outlets ran with the story, portraying Rogers as a frontrunner. However, Dan Scavino shut those rumors down on X, clarifying that Rogers is not in Trump’s plans.
Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI. It’s not happening — In his own words, "I have never even given it a thought.” Not happening.

Fox News was wrong.
Jack Posobiec took it a step further, calling out Rogers as a disastrous choice and slamming Fox News for their misleading narrative. "This isn’t just bad reporting. It’s an attempt to manipulate public opinion,” Posobiec argued.
Bannon piled on, reminding viewers of Rogers’ questionable past as a member of the House Intelligence Committee. "Let’s not forget,” Bannon said, "this is the guy who enabled James Comey before the Steele Dossier fiasco. He’s part of the same old establishment playbook.”
Bannon and Posobiec: Flashbacks to Betrayal
Both hosts painted a vivid picture of betrayal and corruption tied to Rogers’ tenure. Posobiec wove a detailed timeline, recalling how Rogers allowed Comey to pursue investigations against Trump even before the Steele Dossier scandal broke. "Rogers was a key figure in laying the groundwork for the political weaponization of the FBI,” Posobiec claimed.
Bannon added the final punch, exposing what he called Rupert Murdoch’s attempt to "poison the well” around Trump. "Fox News is playing a dangerous game,” Bannon warned. "They’re pushing Rogers to surround Trump with enemies. Murdoch is no ally to the populist movement.”

The FBI: Systemic Corruption and Rogers’ Role
Bannon didn’t hold back in his critique of the FBI, describing it as a "systemic political police force.” He cited instances of overreach, including FBI raids on peaceful protesters. "This isn’t law enforcement. It’s political persecution,” Bannon stated.
Posobiec tied this back to Rogers, arguing that his leadership would perpetuate the status quo. "Rogers represents everything that’s wrong with the FBI today. We need reform, not more of the same,” Posobiec said.

Kash Patel vs. Mike Rogers: Grassroots vs. Establishment
The conversation shifted to Kash Patel, a former Trump official and author of Government Gangsters. Posobiec and Bannon highlighted Patel’s loyalty to Trump and deep knowledge of FBI misconduct. "Kash stood by Trump during the toughest times,” Bannon said. "He’s the guy who knows where the bodies are buried.”
In contrast, Rogers was portrayed as an establishment figure more concerned with protecting the status quo than fighting for justice. "This is a battle between grassroots reformers like Patel and bureaucratic insiders like Rogers,” Posobiec summarized.
Fox News Slammed for Shaping Public Opinion
Bannon took aim at Rupert Murdoch and Fox News, accusing them of manipulating their audience. "Fox News pretends to be on the side of conservatives, but they’re suckering the right,” Bannon argued. He urged viewers to see through what he called "optics games” designed to control Trump’s policy decisions.
Karli Bonne’s recent clip, which Bannon aired, underscored his point. "This isn’t journalism. This is a power play by Murdoch to shape the narrative around Trump,” Bannon said.

Rough Roman Justice: "Salt the Earth” Around Rogers
Bannon wrapped up with a sharp warning to FBI agents who have yet to speak out. "If you know the truth and stay silent, you’re complicit,” he said. He urged whistleblowers to step forward and expose the agency’s leadership.
Meanwhile, Posobiec called for "rough Roman justice” against establishment figures like Rogers. "We need to salt the earth around these corrupt insiders. It’s the only way to rebuild,” he said passionately.
The WarRoom’s Mission Moving Forward
Bannon left no doubt about the stakes. "This isn’t just about the FBI. This is about saving the Republic,” he said. With fiery rhetoric and sharp insights, the WarRoom continues to position itself as a leading voice in Trump’s movement, fighting both establishment insiders and media manipulation.
This sharp critique of Mike Rogers and Fox News solidifies the WarRoom’s role in Trump’s transition strategy. Whether Rogers or someone else takes the helm of the FBI, Bannon’s message is clear: only loyal reformers like Kash Patel can lead the charge against corruption.
