WATCH: Gaetz and Bannon Want Shock Troops Ready to Take Over the Gov’t When ‘Trump Wins’

This has not been a great year for either Matt Gaetz or Steve Bannon. Earlier in 2021, it was revealed that Gaetz is being investigated on charges of sex trafficking. And Bannon was charged after ignoring a subpoena to talk about his role in January 6th.

Both men, clearly, think that life would be much better for them if Donald Trump was still president. So they fantasized about that scenario during a recent episode of Bannon’s show.

“Understand, this is a theory of governing,” Bannon began. “It’s fresh and it’s new. This is Trumpism in power. That’s when we went to the 4,000 shock troops we have to have that’s going to man the government. Get them ready now. Right? We’re going to hit the beach with the landing teams and the beachhead teams and all that nomenclature they use when President Trump wins in 2024 — or before.”

The host continued, “You’re going to have those as the 4,000 political appointees. No more powderpuff derby. This is going to be hardcore accountability at every committee [in Congress].”

Gaetz responded, “And we’re going to go after this administrative state and we’re going to start at the Department of Justice and the FBI. That’s the job I want. You know, send me over to the Judiciary Committee and their sphincters will tighten because they have been doing a lot of corrupt things over there.”
