Key Takeaway: On Firday’s WarRoom, Steve Bannon and Jeff Clark are locking horns with the Deep State as they push for a reimagined government built around a strong unitary executive and a bold rejection of the administrative state. This battle is about restoring the President’s full authority and taking down the shadow government that has grown out of control. The WarRoom serves as a trenching tool for this mission, aiming to dig out the bad actors in the system and rebuild from the ground up.
WarRoom’s Mission: Rebuilding the Government Brick by Brick
Steve Bannon, the fiery voice behind the WarRoom, made it clear that the show is not just about commentary—it’s about action. In a recent discussion with Jeff Clark, Bannon emphasized the importance of unitary executive theory in reclaiming the power of the Presidency. “We need full-on medicine of a unitary executive,” Bannon declared, drawing a line in the sand against the bureaucratic forces undermining Trump’s presidency.
The unitary executive is crucial for Trump’s transition into the White House. It’s the idea that the President should wield full executive power, without interference from the deep-state actors who have wormed their way into the fabric of government. "We need someone in each of these places to say, ‘The Buck stops here,’” Jeff Clark added, highlighting the need for firm decision-making at every level of government.

The Battle with the Administrative State
The heart of this discussion revolves around the administrative state—the vast network of unelected bureaucrats who, according to Bannon and Clark, have become a shadow government operating against the will of the people. “They think they have their own checks and balances,” Bannon argued, calling it a self-appointed permanent government that undermines democratic governance.
Clark agrees, further unpacking how the administrative state has grown too powerful. He explains that it has turned into a fourth branch of government that believes it holds more power than the President. This unelected body, according to Clark, sees itself as co-equal with the executive branch and in some ways even superior to the President.
"This is what we are at war with,” Bannon said, drawing a clear distinction between the legitimacy of the President and the overreach of bureaucrats. Trump, they argue, has direct legitimacy because the people elected him through the Electoral College—an institution the Deep State is now actively working to diminish.

Unitary Executive Theory: The Solution
The solution, according to Clark and Bannon, lies in embracing the unitary executive theory. This concept, especially post-Watergate, would strip power from the bureaucrats and place it firmly in the hands of the President. It’s the idea that the President should control the entire executive branch, ensuring that those serving at his pleasure are loyal and accountable to his administration.
Both Bannon and Clark are clear: the Deep State’s stranglehold on government has escalated under progressive leadership. The administrative state was originally meant to serve the government but has instead become a fourth branch. They argue this unchecked bureaucracy undermines the very principles of the Constitution.
Trump’s Fight for His Presidency
Trump’s transition into office has been fraught with challenges. As Bannon and Clark highlighted, the Deep State continues to work against him, trying to disrupt the political order established by the Constitution. These bureaucrats believe they have created a system that is more powerful than the presidency itself.
This represents a direct challenge to the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency and the idea that elected officials should control the government, not a self-appointing bureaucracy. Clark, echoing Bannon’s sentiments, pointed out that the bureaucrats have weaponized their positions, trying to frustrate the Constitution and undermine the will of the voters who put Trump in office.

The WarRoom: A Trenching Tool for the Fight
As the battle rages on, Bannon makes it clear that WarRoom is on the front lines. He views it as a trenching tool that digs out the bad actors within the government. “We are going to rebuild this system brick by brick,” Bannon said, underlining that this mission is not about winning short-term victories but about dismantling a corrupt system over time.
