Bannon Says MAGA Movement is Cornering the ‘Rats’

Steve Bannon was in “beast mode” on Monday’s WarRoom and delivered a fiery critique of Democrats, journalists, and alleged corruption. He highlighted investigations, preemptive pardons, and populism as pivotal issues. Bannon believes the MAGA movement has achieved “full spectrum dominance” and is ready to expose wrongdoing with transparency.

Democrats Are “Cornered Rats”

Bannon didn’t mince words, accusing Democrats of being trapped by their own decisions. “We got these rats cornered like the rats they are,” he said. According to Bannon, discussions within the Biden White House about “blanket preemptive pardons” reveal panic and guilt. These pardons would shield key players in the January 6 investigation and Biden allies from accountability.

For Bannon, such actions would be catastrophic for Democrats. "If they give blanket pardons, they admit their guilt to the nation,” he asserted. He predicted this would "destroy the Democratic Party” and leave it in disarray for decades.

Preemptive Pardons Are Proof of Guilt

Bannon called out the hypocrisy surrounding the January 6 events. "If J6 was so above board, why is the White House burning the midnight oil looking at pardons?” He argued that these actions prove the administration’s fear of transparency. He emphasized that the American people deserve the truth, stating, "We want transparency. We want the American people to see this.”

“Full Spectrum Dominance” in MAGA’s Fight

Bannon described MAGA’s current position as “full spectrum dominance.” This, he explained, is the ability to control the narrative and expose corruption. "We’re in the trenches,” he said, but the movement has gained significant ground. MAGA, he argued, is a deeply rooted populist-nationalist movement, built over years of struggle.

"You don’t just wave a magic wand and have a movement,” Bannon said. Instead, it requires perseverance and commitment, which MAGA embodies.

Journalists Are Complicit, Says Bannon

Bannon saved some of his harshest criticism for the media, particularly Peter Baker of The New York Times. "Peter Baker is a bald-faced liar,” he said, accusing him of distorting Trump’s intentions and deflecting attention from Biden’s actions.

Bannon also pointed to media silence on Biden’s recent trips abroad, likening the President to a monarch. "He goes to Europe like Charlemagne,” Bannon remarked, criticizing the lack of scrutiny on the administration’s global moves.

MAGA Is a Long-Term Battle

Bannon acknowledged that the MAGA movement has faced setbacks but framed them as part of a larger struggle. "We win some, we lose some,” he said. However, he expressed confidence in MAGA’s resilience and growth.

This fight, he argued, is about more than just winning elections. It’s about reshaping the system through deep, structural changes. "MAGA is a populist-nationalist movement. Full stop,” Bannon declared.

Transparency Is the Ultimate Weapon

For Bannon, transparency is the key to victory. He urged thorough investigations into January 6, the 2020 election, and alleged weaponization of government institutions. "These things have to be above board,” he said.

Bannon believes exposing wrongdoing will resonate with Americans. "When they see what happened, they’re finished,” he predicted. Transparency, he argued, is what separates MAGA from its opponents.

Bannon’s Final Word: The Fight Is On

Bannon’s message was clear: the battle for transparency and accountability is far from over. With MAGA’s "full spectrum dominance,” he sees victory as inevitable. “We got ’em now,” he said, signaling confidence in the movement’s direction.

Bannon’s words are about a larger narrative—a movement driven by defiance, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of truth. Whether his predictions come true remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the fight is far from over.
