Date: September 23, 2025
Host: Steve Bannon
Featured Guests: Alex Jones, Eric Teetzel (Center for Renewing America)
Theme: Government Weaponization, Institutional Power, and Action in the Wake of Political Violence

Overview

This episode of THE WAR ROOM delves into deep concerns about the “weaponization” of government institutions against conservative voices, especially focusing on Alex Jones's legal battles. The show then transitions to addressing institutional responses after the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, featuring actionable plans from the Center for Renewing America (CRA). Throughout, Bannon and his guests focus on the need for urgency, unity, and institutional action to counter what they perceive as existential threats to American sovereignty and conservative movements.

Key Discussion Points

1. The Government vs. Alex Jones: Weaponization and “Show Trials”

• Alex Jones’s Legal Ordeal:

  • Steve Bannon frames Jones as a test case in a broader campaign of targeting conservatives (“patient zero”), highlighting coordinated government and elite efforts to silence dissenting voices.
  • Jones details a sequence of lawsuits and financial/legal maneuvers he faced, alleging coordinated action by law firms, government officials, and activist organizations.
  • Jones claims recent developments: The DOJ has initiated a formal investigation into the collusion between public and private actors to bankrupt and silence him.

• Alleged Collusion & Lawfare:

  • Jones asserts during his segment that the legal proceedings against him—from high-dollar settlements to the orchestration of lawsuits by advocacy groups—were not only unfair but specifically designed to silence him, not just penalize him financially.
  • The role of law firms like Paul Weiss and Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder, and coordination with advocacy groups such as Everytown for Gun Safety, were highlighted as evidence.

• Notable Quote:

  • “Obama declared me a top national security threat...They did a dragnet and could never find anything. So then they went and staged this law fair against me, literal show trials produced by HBO.” – Alex Jones [06:23]
  • “If they could take me down, I was the model to take down Trump and everybody else. So they really screwed up. And a lot more is about to break.” – Alex Jones [12:25]

• Bannon’s Framing:

  • Bannon contextualizes Jones’s case within the larger MAGA movement and frames DOJ action as the beginning of accountability for “deep state” abuses.
  • “Ed [Martin] is now in the Justice Department as one of Trump’s top enforcers, here to make sure we rid this of weaponization...It is that department that has officially sent out a letter to a law firm saying preserve your documents.” – Steve Bannon [10:56]

2. Institutional Response to Political Violence: The Assassination of Charlie Kirk

• Remembering and Responding:

  • CRA’s Eric Teetzel discusses the conservative grassroots reaction and the need for institutional action after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
  • Emphasis is placed on using worry and grief as a rallying cry to build enduring institutions and take real action.

• CRA's Action Plan:

  • Fighting Antifa and Domestic Extremism:
    • Full-scale investigation of Antifa, designating them a terrorist organization, and using terror financing laws to choke funding streams.
      • “Antifa is not alone...The Southern Poverty Law Center stands out as an organization that exists solely to perpetuate hate, to lie about people, and to instigate violence. We need to get to the root of that.” – Eric Teetzel [24:55]
    • Action to revoke tax-exempt status and criminal prosecution where laws are broken.
  • Defunding Leftism in Academia:
    • CRA calls for ending taxpayer-funded student loans and grants to universities perceived as promoting anti-American ideology.
    • Conditional funding for research only if basic free speech is protected.
      • “Our universities are completely and totally owned by leftist ideologues who hate America...It is high time we got completely out of the business of financing higher education.” – Eric Teetzel [28:48]

• Personal Call to Action:

  • Both Bannon and Teetzel emphasize that everyday people have a role. “Standing up and speaking out” and prayer are called crucial disciplines in these times.

• Notable Quote:

  • “We all have a different role to play...No matter where you are or what stage of life you're in, you have a voice just like Charlie had a voice. And you should use it. The posse gets it.” – Eric Teetzel [24:55]

3. Building & Seizing Institutions Amid Crisis

• Urgency of Institution-Building:

  • Bannon repeatedly stresses that time is short: The new generation must create and capture institutions to keep the MAGA movement alive beyond its founding “towers” (Trump, Kirk, Bannon).
  • Maximalist Strategy:
    • “Maximus strategy, maximalist strategy. Go take it all the way. Seize the institutions and do it with a sense of urgency. Action, action, action.” – Steve Bannon [32:01]
  • Bannon links the struggle against Antifa and extremism with that against “deep state” actors, corporations, media, and global elites.

• Transparency and Ongoing Action:

  • CRA’s action plan is made public at americarenewing.com (Teetzel) and is shared widely with encouragement to engage.
  • “You got a whole punch list of this. Where do people go to see the work of CRA, but particularly the action plan post the assassination of Charlie Kirk...americarenewing.com.” – Steve Bannon & Eric Teetzel [29:07]

4. Economy & Geopolitics: The Role of Gold and the Dollar

• Financial Consultant Guests and Economic Warnings:
  • Bannon devotes segments to discussions about the dollar’s reserve status, the rise of the BRICS bloc, and the need to hedge against financial instability with gold.
  • Stresses education and pattern recognition for listeners:
    • “We're here not to sell you fish, but to teach you how to fish...Birch Gold with the whole concept...is to provide you information...so you can learn...” – Steve Bannon [18:09]
  • The economic angle ties back to the larger theme of systemic risk—financial, political, and cultural.

Memorable Moments & Quotes

• “You are truly a Spartan with your shield or on your shield. That's Alex Jones. What a fight. Years and years and years of torture. Alex Jones, honored to have you on here.” – Steve Bannon [14:15]
• “This Costco firm is run by this former federal prosecutor whose specialty, Chris Matty, is putting innocent Republicans in jail...This is all a Obama, Bloomberg, Soros, DOJ operation with me, as they said in press conferences, patient zero.” – Alex Jones [12:25]
• “We all have a role to play and this story is only half written. We don't know exactly what is going to come after the assassination of our friend Charlie, but it's up to us to decide.” – Eric Teetzel [24:55]
• “Now more than ever. This is why. Why was I banging on the table so much about the Antifa investigation? Because that's going to lead so many places...The terrorism and the deep state are inextricably linked on the color revolution against the American people.” – Steve Bannon [33:37]
