BLUF: Bannon Sounds Alarm on Assassinations, Vax Distrust, and Deep State Purge in Trump’s America
On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, Steve Bannon’s WarRoom episode framed America’s turmoil as the death throes of a corrupt regime, with President Donald Trump’s administration battling radical violence, institutional sabotage, and public health scandals.
Bannon highlights Charlie Kirk’s assassination as leftist “direct action,” vaccine polling as proof of a $1.5 trillion pharma empire’s collapse, and FBI Director Kash Patel’s hearings as exposing Deep State cover-ups.
Mark Mitchell underscores Bannon’s belief that Western Civilization—embodied by the United States—must be preserved to protect its foundational structures, such as family, faith, and freedom, which Bannon said he sees as threatened by institutional corruption, radical ideologies, and demographic collapse.
The “hard choice” about vaccines ties to his view that unchecked policies (like over-vaccination) erode health and population, core to civilization’s survival.
Bannon’s broader WarRoom theme about “going medieval” on enemies and exposing the “primal scream of a dying regime” says Western Civilization is worth saving to restore sovereignty, truth, and Judeo-Christian values against a globalist, leftist onslaught.

DEMOCRATS GASLIGHTING
Understanding this through Bannon’s lens is vital, as it reveals how ignored crises—such as political killings, eroding trust, and civilizational decay—could unravel the republic if Trump’s reforms falter, urging aggressive probes to reclaim security.
In the fiery broadcast, Bannon dissected the nation’s flashpoints, positioning them as existential threats under President Trump’s leadership.
The episode, aired amid Trump’s state visit to England, juggled congressional fireworks, polling bombshells, and reports of online radicalization, painting a picture of a divided America on the brink.
Central to the discussion was the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah, which Bannon linked to a wave of political violence shaking the country. He cited attacks on Democratic figures like Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence, alongside school shootings..
Bannon argued these aren’t isolated but orchestrated by radical groups—Antifa offshoots and transgender militias—celebrating “direct action” on platforms like Reddit.
“Direct action works,” Bannon quoted from anonymous Reddit posts claiming victories like Ben Shapiro delaying campus tours. Designating these as terrorist organizations for RICO investigations, Bannon stressed, is essential to uncover funding and halt recruitment, framing it as a defense of coexistence in Trump’s era.
Government hearings provided the episode’s dramatic core. In the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin lambasted FBI Director Kash Patel as Trump’s “enforcer,” accusing him of purging seasoned agents for loyalty tests, botching the Kirk manhunt, and redacting Epstein files to shield the president. Patel countered, touting more releases than prior administrations and 1,500 child predator arrests, while blaming court orders for withheld materials.

Bannon dismissed Raskin’s speech as “beautiful gaslighting,” praising Patel for dismantling the Deep State. Similarly, former CDC Director Susan Monaris testified before the HELP Committee, claiming her firing stemmed from her refusal to comply with Health Secretary RFK Jr.’s demands to alter vaccine policies without evidence. Bannon ridiculed her as a defender of the status quo in a bloated industry.
VAXXED TO DEATH
Vaccine skepticism dominated, amplified by guest Mark Mitchell’s Rasmussen polls: 56% of Americans suspect COVID shots caused unexplained deaths, with 46% of Democrats agreeing. Bannon tied this to broader distrust.

MARK MITCHELL: Healthcare is going to be the death of our republic.
We spend 21% of GDP, with Medicare & Medicaid exploding from $11T to $30T+. Now polls show 56% of Americans believe COVID shots likely killed significant numbers.@honestpollster pic.twitter.com/F5VpTICL9v

During the Mitchell interview, social media’s dark underbelly was exposed as a hub for radicalization. Mitchell detailed Reddit’s evolution from free-speech haven to leftist monoculture, suppressing pro-Trump communities like The_Donald pre-2020 election—possibly influenced by Chinese investor Tencent.
With 300,000 subscribers in anarchist subreddits linking to dark websites, Bannon warned of youth being turned into “demons,” fueling paramilitary threats.
Broader themes included the peril of Western civilization, as evidenced by population collapse (resulting in 135 million non-homeowners), a $32 trillion debt, and the stories of J6 prisoners, which underscored institutional failures.
MARK MITCHELL: "The_Donald" subreddit helped power Trump’s 2016 rise. Reddit throttled its reach, censored posts, and then banned it just before 2020. The biggest pro-Trump community erased = election interference.@honestpollster pic.twitter.com/XQ74AID2uT

Why heed Bannon’s framing? He argues complacency invites more chaos; understanding reveals opportunities for Trump’s pushback, saving the country from elite-driven division.
As polls show eroding trust, ignoring this risk can lead to preventable disunity, unchecked violence, and the erosion of civilization. In Trump’s America, Bannon insists, this is the moment to act—or watch the West crumble.
