Release Date: March 27, 2025

Introduction

In Episode 4368 of Bannon's War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon delves deep into the political landscape shaped by the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. The episode, titled "MAGA Is The Party Of Doing And Building Results," emphasizes the contrast between the proactive, action-oriented approach of the MAGA supporters and what they perceive as the Democratic Party's overemphasis on process and credentials.

Evaluating Democratic Accomplishments and Critiquing Their Efficiency

Bannon begins by acknowledging the legislative achievements of the Biden administration, such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act. However, he quickly pivots to critique the Democratic Party's approach to governance.

Stephen K. Bannon [02:15]: "Democrats aren't doing with what looked like a very accomplished presidency... These things move too slowly. We run the government too. And why does the Democratic Party need to refocus on the outcomes it has promised people and not the process it has wrapped itself in."

Bannon argues that while Democrats may have legislative successes, their slow decision-making processes hinder timely action and effective governance. He contrasts this with the MAGA movement's emphasis on swift action and tangible results.

Military Actions and Accountability

A significant portion of the discussion centers around recent military actions, specifically the strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Bannon criticizes President Biden for what he perceives as inaction, suggesting that decisive military measures should have been taken earlier to mitigate regional instability.

Stephen K. Bannon [10:40]: "Joe Biden should have done this attack on Yemen, which is basically a certain group within Yemen, the Houthis. And this should have been done by Joe Biden, and it wasn't. And that's caused this world a lot of damage and a lot of problems."

He further condemns Secretary Pete Hegseth for allegedly leaking classified information, calling for his immediate resignation and a thorough investigation into the breach.

Stephen K. Bannon [27:50]: "Secretary Hegseth has disclosed military plans as well as classified information. He needs to resign immediately... There can be no fixes, there can be no corrections until there is accountability."

Strategic Political Battles: Wisconsin and Florida Special Elections

Bannon shifts focus to upcoming special elections in Wisconsin and Florida, highlighting their critical importance for maintaining Republican control and supporting President Trump's agenda. He underscores the high-stakes nature of these elections, portraying them as pivotal battlegrounds against Democratic efforts to undermine MAGA policies.

Stephen K. Bannon [45:30]: "This is why this is a fourth turning and you're seeing the beginning of a framework that will lay out a future of peace and prosperity."

Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is presented as a nonpartisan battle with significant implications for abortion and voting rights. Bannon criticizes external influences, such as Elon Musk's super PAC, for injecting excessive funds into what he deems the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history.

Stephen K. Bannon [52:10]: "Thanks to Elon Musk, Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is now the most expensive judicial election in US History, which is gross."

Bannon warns that losing key seats could jeopardize Republican control and lead to major legislative setbacks, including the potential impeachment of President Trump.

Stephen K. Bannon [58:45]: "If the Progressives win to a 4-4... Hakeem Jeffries first act... is to impeach Donald John Trump."

Florida's 6th Congressional District

In Florida's 6th Congressional District, Bannon emphasizes the critical need for voter turnout to secure Republican victories. He highlights the Democratic candidate's significant fundraising advantage as a major threat to the traditionally conservative district.

Stephen K. Bannon [1:05:20]: "If our people vote, we will win. We're not close like Wisconsin."

Economic Policies: Tariffs and Manufacturing Revival

A cornerstone of the episode is the discussion on President Trump's imposition of 25% tariffs on the auto industry. Bannon defends these tariffs as strategic moves to decrease imports, reshore manufacturing jobs, and stimulate economic growth.

Stephen K. Bannon [1:15:00]: "The tariffs are going to decrease the amount of imported products that are coming into the country... reshore those factories... creating somewhere between 300 and 500,000 good-paying manufacturing jobs."

He cites Hyundai's $21 billion investment in American manufacturing as evidence of the tariffs' effectiveness in encouraging foreign companies to establish domestic facilities.

Stephen K. Bannon [1:22:30]: "Hyundai... they're going to build a new steel plant in Louisiana. So that's the first step."

Bannon links these economic strategies to historical precedents, referencing President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and President Ronald Reagan's economic policies to underscore the significance of manufacturing revival.

Geopolitical Strategy and Liberation Day

The episode also touches upon broader geopolitical strategies, including the "second island chain" and hemispheric defense. Bannon frames President Trump's policies as part of a larger geoeconomic and geostrategic repositioning of the United States, aimed at strengthening national defense and economic independence.

Stephen K. Bannon [1:30:00]: "President Trump is working on a geoeconomic and geostrategic repositioning of this country around America first philosophy... He needs to focus on this."

Bannon introduces the concept of "Liberation Day," set for April 2nd, as a celebration of America's industrial resurgence and economic nationalism, equating it with Independence Day in its importance.

Stephen K. Bannon [1:40:10]: "Liberation Day, the celebration of America's industry... it's just as important as Independence Day because the two are the same thing."

Spencer Morrison, a guest on the show, elaborates on the significance of the tariffs and their role in reinvigorating American manufacturing, further reinforcing the narrative of economic sovereignty.

Combatting Democratic Narratives and Ensuring MAGA Success

Throughout the episode, Bannon emphasizes the necessity of countering Democratic strategies that prioritize process over results. He portrays the MAGA movement as the true "party of doing and building results," capable of delivering effective governance and economic prosperity.

Stephen K. Bannon [1:50:45]: "Action leads to results. Pete Hegseth ain't going anywhere."

Bannon calls for increased voter engagement and mobilization, especially in key battleground states, to sustain and expand MAGA's influence. He warns against complacency, stressing that electoral victories are not final until all votes are counted and objectives fully achieved.

Stephen K. Bannon [2:00:30]: "The job wasn't done at 8 o'clock on election night... This job is never done."
