About this listen
Steve Bannon has remained in the political spotlight over the past week with several significant developments. Most prominently, the former White House adviser has been aggressively calling for swift and severe punishment against Democratic Senator Mark Kelly. Speaking with Military.com and on his War Room podcast, Bannon demanded that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth expedite an investigation into Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers over their recent video message to military and intelligence officers encouraging troops to refuse unlawful orders. Bannon specifically called for Kelly's immediate recall, a court martial convened by Friday morning, and imprisonment at Leavenworth Federal Correctional Facility by Monday. He characterized the group as the "seditious six" and suggested their actions constituted sedition. While acknowledging he's not a military lawyer, Bannon said he believes Kelly will face serious prison time, noting that Kelly is "doubling down and tripling down" by appearing on television shows to defend his position.
The Pentagon has responded by giving Navy Secretary John Phelan until December tenth to complete an investigation into what Defense Secretary Hegseth termed "potentially unlawful comments" made by the lawmakers. The FBI has also begun scheduling interviews with all six Democratic members involved in the video.
Beyond the Kelly situation, Bannon continues to influence conservative discourse. According to ABC News, Bannon has been part of a growing faction of prominent MAGA voices, including Tucker Carlson and Laura Loomer, who oppose President Trump's strong support for artificial intelligence development. This group has expressed concerns that Trump's pro-AI stance could cost Republicans the 2026 midterm elections, marking an interesting point of contention within Trump's base.
Bannon's rhetoric has escalated tensions surrounding the Kelly matter, with his language echoing President Trump's own characterization of the lawmakers' actions as potentially treasonous. Trump previously stated that such remarks would have been "punishable by death" in earlier times. Meanwhile, Kelly has defended himself by appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he characterized the investigation and rhetoric as authoritarian suppression of First Amendment rights and a troubling sign of how democracies decline.
The situation remains highly charged as the December tenth deadline approaches, with Bannon continuing to push for immediate action through his media platform and direct communications with Trump administration officials. His influence over this developing controversy demonstrates his continuing role as a provocative voice shaping conservative political strategy and discourse.
