Bannon’s Bold Update: Gaetz Named Attorney General in Trump’s Comeback
In a sweeping announcement on Wednesday’s WarRoom, Steve Bannon announced that President Trump has nominated U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz as Attorney General. Bannon, an influential voice for the America First movement, described this decision as a powerful, strategic play by Trump to seize control over a government apparatus he sees as weaponized against his base and the nation’s interests. Bannon called it “Full Spectrum Dominance.”
“The goal is Full Spectrum Dominance – the ability to control any situation or defeat any adversary across the range of military operations,” according to 2004 The National Military Strategy of the United States of America.
Gaetz posted on Wednesday about the weaponized government:
We ought to have a full court press against this WEAPONIZED government that has been turned against our people.
And if that means ABOLISHING every one of the three letter agencies, from the FBI to the ATF, I’m ready to get going! pic.twitter.com/Wsp8zVuBEU

Full Spectrum Dominance for Trump’s DOJ
Bannon emphasized that Gaetz’s appointment represents more than a symbolic change; it’s a full commitment to "full spectrum dominance” over the Department of Justice. In Bannon’s words, Gaetz will "blowtorch” through entrenched political forces, dismantling any bureaucratic obstruction standing in Trump’s way. With Gaetz leading DOJ, Trump’s administration can enact bold reforms and restore what Bannon sees as much-needed accountability in federal institutions.
Gaetz’s Credibility: A Fighter with the WarRoom Audience’s Trust
Gaetz has established a strong reputation with the WarRoom audience as a fearless warrior unafraid to take on the establishment. His role in removing Speaker Kevin McCarthy highlighted his ability to fight and win under pressure. Bannon underscored Gaetz’s unique credibility as a “firebrand with brains,” someone who not only understands the populist-nationalist agenda but has the tactical skill to execute it. His independence from traditional party lines has resonated with supporters seeking authentic leadership.
What Gaetz’s AG Role Means for the U.S.
This nomination is not just about personnel; it signals an intent to upend the structure of federal governance. Bannon sees Gaetz’s DOJ as a step toward "deconstructing the administrative state,” a mission aligned with his long-held views on rooting out what he views as "deep state” corruption. For Trump and his supporters, this is a high-stakes move to curb the influence of unelected bureaucrats who they believe have long undermined populist initiatives.
Structural Reform and Accountability: Trump’s Vision for Justice
Bannon’s portrayal of this new Trump team reflects a vision of sweeping reform. Gaetz, alongside others like Tulsi Gabbard at the Department of National Intelligence, aims to radically reshape government functions. Bannon highlighted Gabbard’s unconventional approach to foreign policy, noting her bipartisan appeal as critical to restoring public trust in the intelligence community. This new lineup, Bannon insists, will mark a break from previous administrations and push the nation towards what he calls "true accountability.”
Bannon’s Vision: A New Era of Accountability
As he concluded, Bannon expressed excitement and urgency, telling the WarRoom audience that they stand at the cusp of historic change. He hailed the Trump administration’s new appointees as courageous figures willing to challenge and ultimately dismantle the deep-seated powers at play in D.C. According to Bannon, this is a “hero’s journey” for Trump’s inner circle and supporters alike—a battle that, if won, could redefine American governance in the image of constitutional accountability and the America First agenda.

Bannon: Matt Gaetz is the fiercest warrior, the firebrand of firebrands. Here at the Breitbart Embassy, he single-handedly devised the plan to first hogtie McCarthy in Jan ‘23, then take him out nine months later. Gaetz is brilliant, determined, focused, relentless. pic.twitter.com/eaCjZdsHng
