Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec appeared on Saturday’s WarRoom and rallied behind President Trump’s bold strategy to overhaul Washington, celebrating what Bannon calls the “Days of Thunder” era. The phrase, referencing the lightning-fast intensity of Trump’s early days in office, signals a renewed push to disrupt the political system with speed, force, and surprise.
"This isn’t just a presidency; it’s a movement,” Bannon said, framing the strategy as not merely about Trump’s return to power, but a full-scale assault on the establishment. "We’re going after the system—its institutions, its funding, its power—every single day.”
For Bannon, the term “Days of Thunder” represents the high-octane approach Trump used during his first term to challenge the political establishment. It’s not about following the typical rules of politics but about creating new ones, Bannon explained.
The movement is focused on relentless disruption, as Bannon noted, pushing against the powers that be with an urgency that’s often been missing in Washington. "The objective is to disrupt, to create chaos within their system,” Bannon said. "We want them off balance, unable to react.”
Posobiec editor of Human Events and frequent WarRoom guest, a key figure in Trump’s media network and a vocal proponent of nationalist conservatism, added that the key to this strategy is speed. "They’re stuck in old ways of thinking, and they can’t keep up with this new strategy,” Posobiec explained. "It’s not about slow, drawn-out fights—it’s about hitting them with precision and speed, keeping them on their heels.”
The strategy, according to Bannon, involves using the establishment’s own resources against it. For example, he pointed to Trump’s actions to cut funding to institutions like USAID, a frequent target for Trump’s team due to its perceived alignment with liberal causes abroad. "This is maneuver warfare,” Bannon said. "We’re not playing by their rules. We’re finding their weaknesses and exploiting them before they even know what’s happening.”
Trump’s allies are also focusing on dismantling the military-industrial complex, criticizing billions of dollars in taxpayer spending on inefficient defense projects like the F-35 fighter jet. For Bannon and Posobiec, this is part of the broader fight against a system that rewards failure. "This is the kind of system we’re fighting against,” Bannon said. "A system that rewards failure and protects the status quo. We need to break it down from the inside.”
Bannon and Posobiec have also voiced frustration with the Republican establishment, particularly figures like former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. They accuse establishment Republicans of being complicit in the failures of Washington and call them out for not standing up to the political elites. “The Republican establishment is part of the problem,” Bannon said. “They’re too weak to take on the system. We need real change.”
For Bannon and Posobiec, Trump’s return to the White House is more than just another presidential election—it’s the spark for a larger revolution. "This isn’t just about winning an election,” Posobiec concluded. "This is about taking over the system—making it work for America, not the elites.”
As Bannon and Posobiec continue pushing forward with their rapid-fire, high-intensity strategy, they are determined to reshape Washington. "The ‘Days of Thunder’ are just beginning,” Bannon said. "We’re not stopping until the system is ours.”
