Steve Bannon and Arizona Congressman and former Navy SEAL Eli Crane issued a dire warning to the nation on Saturday’s WarRoom: the dual threats of unregulated Artificial Intelligence and weaponized globalist NGOs are not just policy problems, they are existential crises. And under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, Crane says it’s time to take them both down.
A deeply faithful legislator, Crane didn’t hesitate to frame AI’s development in spiritual terms. "This feels like a technological Tower of Babel,” he said. "We’re racing to beat China to the finish line, but in the process, we may be summoning the demon.”
Crane highlighted the economic collapse already brewing in the white-collar job market as AI rapidly replaces human labor. He referenced recent Oversight Committee hearings revealing that entry-level roles—once the backbone of the American middle class—are likely to disappear within the next 1 to 5 years.
"There are no serious safeguards, no real answers,” Crane said. "This is being driven not by wisdom, but by fear—fear of falling behind China. But if we ‘win’ that race by destroying the very fabric of our society, what have we really won?”
But artificial intelligence isn’t the only beast Crane aims to slay. He also lit up the airwaves with his takedown of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)—a nonprofit organization long suspected by critics of serving as a proxy for CIA-backed regime change and domestic censorship.
"This agency has been hijacked,” Crane said bluntly. "It’s now being used to censor the MAGA movement, label Trump supporters as threats to democracy, and push a globalist agenda under the false flag of ‘freedom promotion.’”
Crane’s answer? Defund it. All of it.
He’s introducing legislation to permanently eliminate funding for the NED, just as efforts have begun to strip taxpayer dollars from other politicized outlets like PBS and Voice of America. Inspired by investigative work from journalists like Mike Benz and Natalie Winters, Crane says the MAGA movement now understands just how deep the rot goes.
"Washington bureaucrats never give up power willingly. They just shift strategy,” Crane said. "That’s why we’re not just talking—we’re hitting them in the only place they feel pain: the budget.”
And he’s working on rescissions packages to claw back already-approved funds, in anticipation of another looming Continuing Resolution battle.
"I want members of Congress on the record,” Crane said. "Let the American people see exactly who is willing to stand up and defund the Deep State—and who isn’t.”
Bannon closed the segment with a rallying cry to the WarRoom faithful, urging them to make their voices heard. Crane echoed it with a direct call to action: "Reach out to your representatives. Tell them to support this bill. If they’re defending these globalist NGOs, they’re not on your side.”
