About this listen
In the past few days, Steve Bannon has seized headlines with a volley of incendiary statements and a string of high-profile appearances, signaling both his enduring influence and the divisions he stirs inside the conservative movement. Bannon’s most notable public moment came at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, where he charged onto the stage and, in his signature apocalyptic style, declared that expelling Chinese nationals should be at the top of Donald Trump’s returning agenda, boldly urging a full decoupling with China and staking tariffs as the linchpin of American sovereignty. According to the Washington Examiner, he didn’t mince words, casting global economic entanglements as the source of national decline and accusing Wall Street and tech elites of funding America’s greatest adversaries. He further insisted Trump belongs in the pantheon of America’s “three greatest presidents.
But Bannon’s presence at the conference wasn’t universally welcomed; UnHerd and The Daily Beast both reported that his remarks were delivered to a sparse crowd, with rows of empty chairs underscoring a growing fatigue or division in the grassroots. UnHerd captured his dismissive backstage assessment of the national conservative movement itself, calling its adherents ineffective and without identity. Bannon’s combative rhetoric ripped into not just China but also Israel and American metropolitan politics, warning that the real existential threats to Israel and America’s Jews come not from abroad but from Western cities—and he singled out New York’s likely new mayor as a Marxist and jihadist.
Amplifying the melodrama, Bannon warned of a “kinetic” Third World War already underway, roping together the Ukraine war, Middle Eastern conflicts, and social turmoil in the West. The Telegraph and Daily Signal recount his dire warnings that England is on the brink of civil war, attributing the crisis to radical Islam—a theme he spun into warnings for America should it follow Europe’s multicultural path. He linked collapsing European bond markets to a loss of faith in Western institutions, asserting that the United States must abandon entanglements in Ukraine, sever ties with China, and “pivot hard” to confront Asia as the main threat.
On his War Room podcast, Bannon also took aim at Israel, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of using massacre videos to distract the world from intelligence failings, as reported by The Jerusalem Post. This has fueled backlash within and outside the conservative coalition, highlighting his increasingly critical stance toward traditional allies and institutions. On social media, Bannon’s name trended following both his NatCon speech and his podcast polemics, with supporters echoing his isolationist prescriptions and critics mocking the empty seats as a symbol of his declining star. While some corners of the MAGA world hail him as a prophet, the alignment with overt calls for expelling Chinese students and labeling Western cities as existential threats has drawn swift pushback even from nationalist colleagues, stoking fierce debate and, according to UnHerd, exposing widening fissures in the right-wing movement
There have been no major new legal developments or business ventures reported for Bannon in the past few days, but his outsized voice and relentless stoking of crisis have kept him orbiting the news cycle. The reaction—ranging from viral clips and BBC interviews to partisan memes—shows that whether his influence is peaking or ebbing, Steve Bannon remains both a lightning rod and a weathervane for the stormy mood in Trump-era conservatism.
