Steve Bannon Blasts RINO Gov. Spencer Cox: “He’s Part of the Problem” — Demands Immediate Investigation into Utah’s Transgender Agenda (VIDEO)

Steve Bannon did not hold back Monday as he unleashed a fiery takedown of Utah’s weak-kneed Republican Governor Spencer Cox.

On War Room, Bannon tied Cox directly to the cultural rot and radical leftist ideologies fueling the chaos that ultimately set the stage for the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk.

Bannon didn’t hold back, calling for Cox’s administration to be “rolled up” in a full-scale investigation, accusing the governor of betraying parents, embracing DEI madness, and even coordinating with the White House to push a “group hug” narrative that contradicts President Trump’s unyielding stance against the left’s cultural destruction.

Bannon said Cox’s embrace of this ideology created fertile ground for radicalized youth, pointing to multiple violent incidents in Utah, including a case in St. George where a young man murdered his parents and burned down their home.

Governor Cox, who has become the darling of the corporate media for his “measured tone” in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s killing, claimed that the White House specifically asked him to appear on national television.

Bannon called that claim an outright lie.

Full transcript:

Steve Bannon:
I also don’t understand. You’ve got this guy, Cox, out in Utah. I’ll play a clip and I’ll get to Cox after the next break. He got Cox in Utah, putting out—well, the transgender love interest, roommate, whatever, furry. He didn’t know anything about it, but he’s cooperating. How do we know that? He should be rounded up and put under arrest now as a potential accessory before the fact or co-conspirator.

These LGBTQ and furry sites that were all taken down instantly—got to go back to all those. It looks like some of those might even have put up stuff before Charlie Kirk was there. But they certainly knew about it almost instantaneously, particularly the Discord. His Discord chat group knew about it instantaneously after he shot it. He was making jokes. Why are they not rolled up like the Boston Marathon bomber roommates?

Remember the four or five guys that were the younger guys’ roommates in college? And they knew immediately who it was. They saw them as soon as the videos came up. They said, “Hey, that’s our roommate.” They never informed police. When they got their doors kicked in a couple of days later, they all went to prison.

In fact, I think one of these guys might have been killed in a shootout later. This is cut to the chase: Cox is part of the problem. He’s been the biggest—and maybe it’s deeper than that.

What did Cox say? Charlie said very inflammatory things. Charlie Kirk said very inflammatory things, but he also said some other things that are good. Charlie Kirk, right there on scene, said very inflammatory things, but he also said some other stuff that’s okay, that’s good.

Cox represents the dead Republican Party that just is too gutless to engage here and just wants to look the other way. He’s also a bald-faced liar. Let me tell you what he’s a bald-faced liar about: the White House did not contact him and ask him to go on TV and do a full Gainsberg yesterday. He notified the White House that a couple of Sunday shows were reaching out to him. “Do you have some things?” And they sent, “Here’s what the President’s been saying.” Because what the President’s been saying is not what you’ve said. That’s why the President called him when he had the press briefing.

And he took the role of really the FBI director and gave the details and then went on that long—felt like a 15-minute speech. Cox is part of the problem because he’s been governing there for a while and he drove the transgender agenda. Remember, he went out to all the schools, had a Zoom call, and talked about their pronouns—laid into it.

Temperature needs to be raised. We’re not looking—Cox, we’re looking for you to do your job in Utah. Why are all these kids killing their parents and burning homes and coming up through your education system? Why? You’ve got to be held accountable, dude. We don’t need you preaching to the rest of the nation, and particularly preaching to President Trump about the way things should be.

This is why my strongest recommendation is to get in front of this and do a briefing and stop having Cox. Cox is part of the problem. Cox went against the parents in Utah, went against the parents in Utah, and he was brazen. He totally embraced DEI. He totally embraced the whole transgender ideology. Remember he had that call on Zoom? He’s talking about their pronouns and acceptance and all that. No—you’re just playing into it.

Now you’ve got two massive instances: you have this thing in St. George with the boy, the dude that killed—I think—killed his parents and burned the house down, Norman. And now you’ve got another young Norman that allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk, although he’s not cooperating anymore. He shut up.

It’s time now to make a stand. No, Cox. We’re not looking for unity. We’re looking for victory. We’re looking for victory—no unity. We have nothing to unite around in that regard. We’re not going to unite with that. You might. You can get on there and do your pronouns and all that—it’s a free country. Do it. But we’re not going to do it.

Cox should be investigated. Why the White House allowed—and they’re saying, “We had nothing to do with this guy,” but even the first time when cash flowed out there—why was he allowed to have a speaking role? Who made that decision? He needs to be investigated. His administration needs to be investigated. The mother works for behavioral health. When you get into that thing, it’s a rat’s nest.

You’ve seen it all the time. We’ve had Brandon Showalter and Dr. Miriam Grossman and people on here for years, and Sheila—what you’ve done is a magnificent job over Abel Child—where they’re pushing these drugs and they’re pushing all this stuff on these young men.

This is why the young men are revolting. This is why they saw Charlie as a breath of fresh air. “Hey, I’ve got something that can get you out of the dumps: read the New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” How about that? This is why they killed him. He’s a martyr.

What’s the odds of the guys asking a transgender—the Sheila Matthews, where she’s putting forth every day about how the transgenders are radical, violent, killing people—particularly killing children, striking out? As you saw in the manifesto—remember, “Oh, we don’t know what the motive is.” Well, you read the manifesto: the guy says, “I was brainwashed. I hate myself. I want to figure out how to undo this. If I can, I can’t. I got my hair. I was brainwashed.” I think I got a motive, right?

Which they never want to talk about because it’s a racket. The governor of Utah needs to be investigated full stop. He’s been pushing this stuff for years, and now you got this Roblox, and people can put these games up. The other day, they had to go in and take them down. People were putting up games for children to play about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Think about that for a second. Think of the perverted mind that would do that. Well, that’s what you’ve got in a lot of this stuff. And Cox is not free—he’s not a truthful narrative. He’s part of the problem that needs to be investigated.

That’s why it’s a mass investigation. When is the FBI going to go talk to him? When are they going to roll the mother up? The mother needs to be rolled up. You can’t sit there—they’re destroying our children, and they’re destroying our children for money. You tell the parents to get engaged.

In private schools—worse than the public schools—you tell the parents to get engaged. The Coxes of the world are setting up this thing that the parents—you get pushed out. You get pushed out by the school counselor, you get pushed out. That’s what Cox supported. Cox supported taking away the power of parents.

This is my question back to not just the state of Utah, but the Roman Church. Is that okay with you guys? I didn’t think that that was what the Normans stood for. I’m shocked after spending a couple of days in Utah. There’s something wrong up there, and somebody’s got to look at it. And Cox is a problem. He’s not a solution. He’s being held up now by, of course, the leftist media that he’s the voice that we need in this time.

This is why we got here—he and the wife. They ought to be under—They’re part of the investigation. The reason this whole kid, the turning, the furry of it, the furry, all of it, the radical nature of these transgenders, and they’re getting away from it, they’re getting away with it. And now you got the AI therapist.

It’s all part of the same problem—taking power away from parents that want to “spare the rod, spoil the child.” She was the wife of the governor, pushing SEL in the school systems out there as part of an empathy crisis.

When these people say we have an empathy crisis, it’s when parents are trying to be parents and saying, “No, you can’t do that,” or “You shouldn’t be able to do that,” or “Son and daughter, come here. I’m your parent, and here’s the way it’s going to be in our household.” Is that what the empathy crisis is?

They put it back and blame the parents so they can get away under the cover of night to basically form your children and have them end up being a furry. My brother, who’s a Navy pilot and one of the nicest guys in the world, tells me that like a week ago, he’s in a store and there’s some mom there walking around.

They’ve got like an 18-, 19-, 20-year-old son with her. He’s in pajamas with the furry hat on in broad daylight. When everybody should be in school or at work, he’s walking around the grocery store with mom in the middle of the day with pajamas on in a furry—one of these furry things. He’s a furry. Think about it.

These are the young men that back in the 1940s stormed the beaches at Tarawa, stormed the beaches of Peleliu, stormed the beaches of Normandy, flew over Nazi Germany in the Eighth Air Corps, bombed Japan back to the Stone Age to victory there.

That’s the same—and look what they’ve done. And look what they’re attempting to do to destroy these young men, ma’am.

Steve Bannon:
That is a bald-faced lie. The President has been very, very on-message on this, right? This is about radical Democrats. It’s that whole education system, the therapy system. This is why Cox—him right there, that brother right there—he’s got to be part of the investigation.

His administration, what they did, how this whole thing came up on his watch, and the wife’s—Abby Cox’s—empathy, the empathy crisis. Charlie Kirk, get empathy? You see him dancing around on video. You see these people are monsters. You see them dancing around on video, mocking Charlie Kirk, mocking the family.

Some of you are saying the kids ought to get it. Don’t take it from me. Just watch it with your own eyes. Don’t get filtered. Just go on and watch it. And they’re proud of it. They’re not back. I’m seeing them this morning—Brian Stelter, the guy—they’re with knitted brows. With knitted brows, they’re sitting there going, “This is very bad because it’s a right-wing cancel culture. You need to take the center grab.”

We got too much Cox. And Cox is a bald-faced liar. He was not asked by the White House. I know this from people that directly told me. Because I said, “Are you asking Cox to go do a full Ginsburg when his message is opposite of President Trump?”

President Trump is very focused on getting to the bottom of this and making sure these radicals don’t take over the country. And he’s been, I think, superb in just going through—bang, bang, bang—on message the entire time. And Cox’s message is, “Let’s have a group hug.”

We’re not having a group hug. If we have a group hug, the country is going to be destroyed. Sam Hyde—it was very profound what he had to say. He cut right to the chase. It was unvarnished. And I know it’s a little hard for people, but right now the empathy crisis is going to continue.

An adult supervision—we’ve got a crisis of that and we need to set things right, and we’re going to set things right. The way to start that is a massive investigation by the authorities on something that’s real.
