Right-wing hosts Natalie Winters and Steve Bannon discussed how MAGA loyalists would be "the shock troops on the streets" to enable President-elect Donald Trump's plan for mass deportations.

During a weekend edition of the War Room podcast, Winters asked Bannon what the show's audience could do to enable the plan to remove millions of undocumented immigrants from the country.

"But I think when you get into the issues of personnel and staffing, I think that it's going to be another battle where the power of this audience is really going to need to be on full display and in full force, right?" the host remarked. "You're already sort of starting to see the divergence of different camps on how they want to handle what will, I think, be essentially the first flashpoint of the Trump administration, which is, of course, the mass deportations."

Winters called mass deportations "crucial to the MAGA agenda" but worried that some Republicans wanted to focus on "the gang members, the violent criminals" instead of "a broader systemic removal of sort of an invasion of people."

"And I think that right there gives us this audience, this show, to sort of stand in the breach," she continued. "So we're not just removing criminals, we're removing a monolith, a group of people who really are the antithesis of the populist agenda that undergirds the MAGA movement."

Winters wondered how the audience "can sort of be the counter-resistance to the resistance, not just in the form of the shock troops on the streets, but particularly sort of the embeds within the Trump administration."

Bannon said he had been in touch with Trump's transition team and called Winters' assessment "brilliant." He argued that Trump should begin by focusing on "11 million to 15 million" migrants that allegedly entered the country during Joe Biden's presidency.

"That's the universe we're talking about," he explained. "As I said, and [Trump spokesperson] Karoline Leavitt and others said, all 15 may have to go home."

"But you must — we must focus on what Biden and Harris and the progressive left and the corporations that the Wall Street barons, the big corporations did under Biden's regime to unwind with Trump," he added.
