Only Steve Bannon could be labeled as the “Godfather of the MAGA right.” His fierce loyalty to conservative values and to President Donald Trump is what makes him such a driving force. He also spent 4 months in a Federal prison in 2024 because he would not give in to the corrupt Biden regime’s intimidation tactics.
Fast forward now to 2025. President Trump has now been in the White House for just over one month. Bannon’s influence on MAGA is just as strong as ever as he continues to promote President Trump’s America first agenda.
Journalist Freddie Hayward featured Steve Bannon in The New Statesmen to get a real sense of who he is and what his very popular show War Room is all about. The show is featured daily on Real America’s Voice, which is a pro-America, Patriotic, and conservative news channel.
Bannon usually broadcasts his show from a townhouse in Washington DC not too far from the United States Supreme Court.
Hayward described him as “Bannon’s self-image is both tribune of the people and elite intellectual. He is a voracious reader.”
At 9.39am on 18 February, Steve Bannon walked into his basement studio in Washington DC, placed three iPhones on the table, hoisted the blinds and started ripping newspapers out of plastic packets: the Washington Times, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal. His television show, WarRoom, which appears on the cable channel Real America’s Voice, was due to go live in 21 minutes. “Have [you] got a map yet?” he demanded of his young producer like a Napoleonic marshal. “I want the Western Hemisphere and eastern Europe.”
The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, was in Saudi Arabia, meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, drawing lines on a map of Ukraine as they discussed a possible deal to end the war. Rubio told the press there were “incredible opportunities to partner with the Russians, geopolitically, on issues of common interest”. Bannon wanted his team to prepare a map for the upcoming episode of WarRoom to illustrate what he called “hemispheric defence”: the Trump administration’s plan to end the war in order to pivot to the coming war with China. “It’s all part of a piece,” he told me. The nationalist broadcaster and former senior adviser to Donald Trump believed his years-long ambition was within reach: a partnership between the United States and Russia.
Bannon’s studio is in a townhouse near the Supreme Court. We sat around a dining table strewn with old newspapers and books. Mandate for Leadership – better known as Project 2025, a blueprint for Trump’s second administration written by the Heritage Foundation think tank – was on a side table. A sign on the mantelpiece read: “We Have Not Yet Begun to Fight”. Bannon held up his phone with a picture of the map his team had prepared and snapped at his producer: “This is called a map of the world – not the Western Hemisphere.”
