| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people. | |
| You're going to not get a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | |
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| It's Monday, 18 August, the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| This will be a historic day. | ||
| I don't think there's ever been, I'm pretty sure even in World War II, you never had a collection. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course, first off, you never had a collection of them because they're all fighting for the other side. | |
| Maybe not their people and not their resistance movements, but certainly their leadership all acquiesced except for the Poles and a handful of others, obviously the British. | ||
| Got to understand history here, folks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because the same collection of dirtbags, right, that won't stand with anybody. | |
| We got to bail them out in World War I, send the American Expeditionary Force over there, get massive combat casualties in the, what, the five or six months we were at war, we ended the war. | ||
| That's when the German high command realized they couldn't take the Americans coming in a particular way. | ||
| Hell, you got the Marines all the way up in Bella Wood. | ||
| He said, they don't know what these devil dogs are going to do. | ||
| It was intense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fighting in World War I for the Americans was intense. | |
| So intense. | ||
| This is why there wasn't a lot of, there was not a lot of, oh, we love World War I so much. | ||
| Let's do it again. | ||
| It was the exact opposite. | ||
| People hated the fact and they felt Wilson lied to people. | ||
| This is why they shut down the League of Nations. | ||
| Said, no way, we don't want any more of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We don't want any more entanglement. | |
| The people that built this country at that time said, we don't want to do it. | ||
| We don't want Geneva. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We don't want these guys in striped pants. | |
| We're tired of listening to the French. | ||
| We don't trust the Germans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The British are doing their own thing. | |
| We're out. | ||
| We went over there and sacrificed all that. | ||
| We're out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wouldn't even bring it up. | |
| Wilson spent, what, I don't know, a year over there, six months, nine months negotiating. | ||
| Wouldn't even bring it up because there was no support. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People said, no, POCs on both their houses. | |
| We're out. | ||
| We got kicked out of Europe. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| We built this country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We bailed them out. | |
| Lo and behold, as Klaus Witz tells you, if wars are not won, they come back later even worse. | ||
| And lo and behold, World War II absolutely hit us. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And look at that. | ||
| Once again, with the Russian people stepping up with the worst leaders in the world, the Bolsheviks, these guys were as bad as Hitler and the Nazis. | ||
| Their sacrifice, and of course, American ingenuity, American blood, American valor, the courage of those young flyers in early 1942 on precision daylight bombing. | ||
| Remember, when I talk about 12 o'clock high and I talk about precision daylight bombing, and the British wouldn't do that, there was aerial bombing of civilian targets and doing it at night because they couldn't take the casualties. | ||
| They couldn't take the loss of planes because they weren't that big. | ||
| And precision daylight bombing, why was the strategy and why were those young flyers sacrificed? | ||
| Because that was a way to limit civilian casualties and hit the industrial targets and hit them with more accuracy and more payload on top of them. | ||
| The precision daylight bombing that we did with the 8th Air Corps and the Flying Fortresses was to save civilians. | ||
| That's the way America rolled. | ||
| Now, as the war went on, that changed. | ||
| And you get to time to Japan and the fierce fighting in the Pacific, that changed. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because, as we've told you, these wars eventually become wars of attrition. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because people get angry. | ||
| They want vengeance. | ||
| They've seen their families die. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They've seen their family members die. | |
| Their loved ones, their brothers, their sisters, their husbands, their boyfriends, all of it. | ||
| That's what you have. | ||
| And what's the worst part of the world where that happens? | ||
| Let me think for a second. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Let me think about this. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| The Bloodlands. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They call the place the Bloodlands. | |
| The horror of the 1930s in Ukraine, they starved to death in a place that is Kansas of Europe. | ||
| They starved 5 million people to death, the Bolsheviks, the young, the folks they sent down from Moscow and from Leningrad, the intellectuals that starved the Ukrainians to death. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, 5 million of them. | |
| Well, guess what? | ||
| In June of 1941, when Operation Barbarossa started rolling and the Verdemok started coming, hey, there was a ton of guys in Ukraine who are signing up with the Germans saying, hey, we want to take these bros on. | ||
| We hate them. | ||
| The animosity, the vendettas are so deep. | ||
| The soil is so steeped in blood and atrocities. | ||
| That is not for the United States of America. | ||
| It is not for us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you know who told us that? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Let me give you some random names. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, General Marshall, General Eisenhower, Field Marshal Montgomery, right? | |
| The only person ever even want to get associated with Churchill in the Balkans. | ||
| Everybody else has said, hey, not no, but F no. | ||
| We're not going to do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The scale of the horror, the scale of the atrocities, the scale of the vendettas, the ancient history that's buried in that soil, no way. | |
| And look at these chaperones today. | ||
| Look what they represent. | ||
| Look what they represent. | ||
| And look what they've done to their own countries. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Their own countries, they've opened up to mass invasion. | |
| Got a British colonel. | ||
| It's up on Zero Hedge. | ||
| I think I posted it earlier. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Some British colonel tied to the intelligence operation saying, hey, the politicians in England are so hapless that we're going to go to civil war because of this. | |
| This merger of the neo-Marxist radical left and the Islamists, the Red-Green Alliance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly what you're seeing with a smiley face right now in New York City. | |
| The war we got to win is right here in this country. | ||
| And it's in Washington, D.C. | ||
| It's going to be in New York City. | ||
| It's in Chicago. | ||
| And most importantly, right now, with Gavin Newsom and all his big talk, it's in Los Angeles, California. | ||
| That's the war that we got to be focused on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the, I want to give a security guarantee to the citizens of the United States on these invaders right now. | |
| That's the security guarantee I want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If we don't take care of that, we're not going to have a country. | |
| Yes, we have closed the border miraculously. | ||
| President Trump put the troops into Washington, D.C. already a massive change. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're trying to get you off that, and they're trying to suck your time and attention into this. | |
| When Ursula shows up today, this is her problem. | ||
| Who invited you? | ||
| Why are you showing up at the White House? | ||
| Who are you guys? | ||
| Who are the chaperones? | ||
| And Maloney, how do you have the chutzpah to show up? | ||
| You haven't stepped up to the plate to even the most minimum requirements that you guys committed to 10 years ago. | ||
| You're not close to the 2%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you ain't going to get close to the 2% because your country would turf you out in a second if you stopped spending on social programs and letting them have the month of August off. | |
| By the way, they're watching this from their vacation place because they ain't working. | ||
| Are you working this week? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you taking the entire month of August off? | |
| Are you taking five or six weeks off? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Do you retire at 50? | ||
| No. | ||
| Do you have full medical care? | ||
| No. | ||
| Do you get the free college? | ||
| No. | ||
| You get nothing the Europeans get. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because you're underwriting the security. | ||
| And now we're going to add Ukraine because from David Ignatius, you know, the CIA's comm director working over at the Langley Bugle, as Ben Harnwell calls it, tells us this entire war, we play the clips from the start of the show. | ||
| This entire war is so that Ukraine could be a Western country. | ||
| Well, I don't give a tinker's damn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If they're Euro Asian, Asian, Slavic, European, whatever they want to do, go ahead and do it. | |
| But do it with your European buddies. | ||
| Don't do it with the United States of America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do I got Brian Glenn? | |
| Is Brian Glenn up in Ben Harnwell? | ||
| I mean, in Pesobic? | ||
| Let's go to our own Brian Glenn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're at the White House. | |
| Walk us through today. | ||
| It's going to be huge. | ||
| It's going to be massive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we got to be on point that they don't do the shakedown. | |
| Pro-President Trump trying to bring peace to the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everything he does for me is not good enough. | |
| Never good enough. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you got for me, brother? | |
| No. | ||
| Good morning, Steve. | ||
| Yes, behind me is a stakeout. | ||
| We've got massive media presence here waiting for Zelensky to show up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is due to arrive here around 1 at about 12 o'clock on the South Portico. | |
| That would be the South Lawn area. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The European leaders will be arriving there as well. | |
| Now, around 1.15 is when this bilateral meetings that take place in the Oval Office between Zelensky and President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A little bit later this afternoon, those meetings transition over to the European leaders as well. | |
| So, you know, if you're watching Real America's Voice today, you want to make sure you're tuned in and do not look away because today is a very developing situation. | ||
| Now, since the very short time, I guess six, seven months that I've been here at the White House covering, you can cut the tension in the air. | ||
| You can see the anticipation of how big today is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I love that you're open. | |
| I would have security guarantees for California, New York, and other Chicago, other big U.S. cities. | ||
| I think this shift of just going into this endless war, these pointless engagements, the American people have had a belly full of it, is like what you like to say. | ||
| But today is truly historic. | ||
| And we'll find out how it all begins. | ||
| And like you said, President Trump wants to bring peace, wants a peace deal, period. | ||
| And I think he's willing to, look, if we can't get everybody on the same page, Steve, I say he put the cards down, walk away, cut bait, however you want to say it. | ||
| We're done with this engagement in this three and a half year war. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Let's just go through the logistics. | ||
| I want everybody today, keep that dial right at Real America's Voice. | ||
| You're going to have wall-to-wall coverage, all our great hosts and correspondents and all of it. | ||
| And nobody's giving you inside baseball like we can give you inside baseball. | ||
| I just want to go through the logistics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So the chaperones, and you just said this is beyond a world media event. | |
| This is bigger than Friday. | ||
| And Friday is about as big as you can get because now you've got the chaperones. | ||
| You have, folks, and just to put it in World War II perspective, you've got the whole reason you have an EU is because of France and Germany. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's throw in Italy in the United Kingdom. | |
| You got the big four showing up, right? | ||
| Plus, I think you got a NATO guy and you got a couple of three. | ||
| You got a couple, I think the Baltic country, Finland's there. | ||
| A couple other guys are showing up. | ||
| The chaperones, they show up first. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They show up on the south lawn at 12 noon. | |
| Is that what we got, brother? | ||
| That is correct. | ||
| At noon o'clock at noon on the south lawn, now behind me. | ||
| And I'll step away real quick. | ||
| Let our viewers take a look at this. | ||
| I'll get out of the way. | ||
| This is what they call the stakeout point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this is where Zelensky and his motorcade, his media crew, will pull in. | |
| They'll pull around by the West Wing doors. | ||
| And that's when he'll go in the West Wing doors. | ||
| And that'll be the first time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But hold it, but hang on. | |
| Yeah, hang on. | ||
| But I want to get a thing. | ||
| The chaperones show up on the south lawn because they're coming as a group. | ||
| Correct. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And Zelensky's then coming to more of the working, the more working West Wing. | ||
| We normally, when we have these bylats, they have that. | ||
| So is the intention right now, Brian, just so I can understand this, is President Trump's just he's going to have a bylap with Just Zielinski in the oval like we had before when Brian Glenn asked the greatest question in correspondent. | ||
| Eric Severide would want to ask this question. | ||
| Hey, brother, do you even own us? | ||
| Do you own a suit? | ||
| Do you got to clean up before you come over here? | ||
| We're going to have another bylap with just the president and Zielinski first and then bring the chaperones in after that. | ||
| From what I understand, that is the process. | ||
| Okay, so this is going to be wild. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then I take it that's the state dining room. | |
| So are they going to have a working lunch? | ||
| I mean, they're in the state dining room, which is magnificent up in the main part of the White House, not the West Wing. | ||
| Is that where I guess he'll meet with everybody? | ||
| And that's going to be around 2 o'clock if I look at the schedule. | ||
| Yeah, around 2 o'clock, 2:15. | ||
| Of course, that's all pending the arrival of Zelensky and on all the others. | ||
| But they've described it, Steve, which is really interesting, as almost a family photo opportunity in this particular hall. | ||
| I think it's called the Rose Hall, maybe. | ||
| I've got to get the exact name on that. | ||
| It was a hall I've never been in. | ||
| So it is kind of spread out throughout the day. | ||
| But, you know, this is a very fluid situation. | ||
| I mean, President Trump could get in there at 1:15 and decide, you know, we're not going anywhere. | ||
| And then perhaps everything gets accelerated or it gets pushed back. | ||
| So, like I said before, I mean, you can see the media here, and it's crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Brian, here's what's so amazing: a hat tip to the White House staff. | ||
| With the advanced guys and the planning of that meeting that went off flawlessly, logistically, right? | ||
| Flawlessly, and you were there on Friday to come back and get back at O-Dark 30 and then to have a long call with Zelensky and have Zielinski coming by Saturday and then have the chaperones announce they're coming Saturday night. | ||
| For the White House to get ready for this, the staff, this is just a Herculean task. | ||
| People should understand in the last 72 hours, what the White House staff to pull this off is extraordinary. | ||
| I mean, this is one of the most important meetings in modern political history. | ||
| You've never had a group of these power countries, I think, come together for something about war and peace. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're going to see it all today in Real America. | |
| Short break, we're going right back to the White House. | ||
| We've got Pozo and Brian Glenn there. | ||

| You're going to have Charlie, got Jack, but we've got our correspondents at the White House. | ||
| A historic day. | ||
| The chaperones are going to be here at noon. | ||
| Zelensky at one, we'll get to that in a second. | ||
| I think now more than ever, you need a personal relationship with the Birch Gold team, Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| It's easy to do that, to talk to them and to understand these patterns, the pattern recognition, what drives the value goal. | ||
| It's not the price every day, it's what drives value. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what we try to give you the information here in the war room in partnership with Birch Gold. | |
| One of the simplest ways, take out your phone, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, that would be me, at 989898. | ||
| You get access to the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You also get access to Philip Pastruz's team. | |
| So make sure you take care of that today. | ||
| Also, before I go back to the White House, I want to put up the Texas. | ||
| It's Texas 9, baby. | ||
| You call them and say, no, no, no, five was the deal two weeks ago, right? | ||
| You're going to be like Trump and Putin. | ||
| You know, these things, these deals are always in flux. | ||
| If you don't meet the requirements and you showed yourself wanting Governor Abbott, we weighed and measured you and found you wanting. | ||
| Okay, so it was five. | ||
| You had all the bluster. | ||
| We want nine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We demand nine. | |
| That's the number right there. | ||
| This is one of the reasons we do the home title lock with Home Title Lock, the $1 million triple lock protection. | ||
| The last thing we need is somebody into your title taking out some hard money loan that's got you in a tizzy as it should. | ||
| All the examples we show, when that happens, those people's lives are changed. | ||
| They spend years occupied with sort of that, because who can take either somebody selling your home and take a $100,000 mortgage on it? | ||
| You can't. | ||
| Nobody can. | ||

| Back to Brian Glenn at the White House. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Brian, just walk me through as presented today. | |
| And folks, I'm going to tell you one thing: flexibility is key here as President Trump does when he negotiates. | ||
| This thing came together at the last minute. | ||
| Also, I believe, Brian Glenn, that President Trump might call an audible or two during the day. | ||
| So walk us through the structure as the day as it's currently presented, sir. | ||
| Okay, Steve, as it sits right now, we're looking at a 12 p.m. arrival for the European leaders. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's on the South Portico. | |
| That's the South Lawn. | ||
| They will be met with Monica Crowley. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll meet those European leaders. | |
| At 1 o'clock, right behind me, President Zelensky will roll in with his motorcade. | ||
| They will meet the president outside the West Wing doors. | ||
| They'll go inside. | ||
| And then 15 minutes later, around 1:15, and we've seen it wiggle forwards and backwards on that, there will be a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office just between Zelensky and President Trump. | ||
| Moving ahead to about 2:30, they call this a family photo in the cross hall. | ||
| That is with the European leaders as well, with, I'm presuming, President Trump and Zelensky. | ||
| And then we'll fast forward at 3 o'clock. | ||
| That is a multilateral meeting in the East Room. | ||
| What I'm pulling from that, Steve, that's everyone together for the first time because the European leaders won't be in that Oval Office when he meets 101 with Trump. | ||
| So that will be the first time they all get to be on stage and answer questions, I guess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is classic Trump. | |
| He gets the chaperones early, but he gets them off. | ||
| Go, you know, you're the chaperones. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Drink the punch while the kids dance. | |
| Okay, it gets together later. | ||
| Being a betting man, Brian, I think you agree with me that it may not be exactly start at three o'clock. | ||
| And I think that the group meeting, where you have all the power players in Europe, you have the head of the Italian government, the French government, the German government, the NATO guys there. | ||
| You get the British government, the United Kingdom. | ||
| I think that might take longer than an hour, particularly if President Trump is banging heads and trying to get a deal. | ||
| So we just have to be flexible throughout the day. | ||
| Brian, can you hang on one second? | ||
| We're going to come right back to you. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, as Brian rolls out the logistics of the day, what are your first observations, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, as I'm listening to you talking with Brian Glenn and Dave Bratt before, and going over what I said at the first part of the show, the thought comes to me, I don't even want to be like, I know I'm an international correspondent, but I don't even want to be talking about Ukraine. | |
| This is mid-August, okay, mid-August, and we're talking about Ukraine. | ||
| Here's something I would like to talk about. | ||
| It's what I posted on Geta just before the start of the show. | ||
| Something that MTG posted. | ||
| This woman who's from Illinois, ordinary regular American, breaks down in tears. | ||
| She says, I'm wondering if anyone else is feeling like they're drowning and they can't get out. | ||
| I work overtime. | ||
| I cannot get above water. | ||
| I mean, I literally have no gas for next week. | ||
| Gas prices and electric bills and prices of food is just so overwhelming, right? | ||
| That is the situation facing so many, like 100 million Americans right now. | ||
| And energy is being not being spent on putting Americans first. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's still, Steve, in mid-August, all this political energy, all this political capital is being diverted on Zelensky. | |
| There is no outcome on this, on these negotiations, that's going to get any reaction from me other than meh. | ||
| Not interested. | ||
| Couldn't care about Ukraine. | ||
| Really couldn't. | ||
| That was what I thought Vice President Vance's position was, right? | ||
| I couldn't. | ||
| Why are we still talking about this? | ||
| There are domestic issues far more immediate facing Americans. | ||
| And I repeat what I said earlier. | ||
| There has been no argument ever made as to suggest what America's interests are in Ukraine. | ||
| And we're wasting all this political capital. | ||
| We're talking about all these schmucks schlepping over the Atlantic to America. | ||
| And it's a distraction. | ||
| There are more important things that confront American taxpayers than Ukraine. | ||
| As I say, whatever happens, I'm not interested. | ||
| I really couldn't care less. | ||
| Yes, in fact, there's a bunch of posts about the economic situation. | ||
| Actions are being taken. | ||
| We'll get to that in the afternoon show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Brilliant comments right there. | |
| Dave Bratt, your observation. | ||
| You see the logistics laid out today. | ||
| I think it's interesting. | ||
| The chaperones show up first. | ||
| President Trump, it doesn't look like he's meeting with them first. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Monica Crowley, who folks know was such a great contributor here at the war room over the years, is now head of protocol. | |
| She's the ambassador. | ||
| She meets with them. | ||
| I guess they put him off to the side until Zelensky shows up, and then it looks like a one-on-one. | ||
| Look, folks, this could all change during the day, but what are your observations of the way the day is structured? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, the day is structured to get input from these European elites, the educated elites, right? | |
| And you did a brilliant summary of the history of warfare that these people know better. | ||
| Their narrative has shifted drastically from no data to now the data they're putting up shows that the NATO and European countries are in a very weakened position. | ||
| And that if the U.S. leaves, they're pathetic, right? | ||
| And so I'll just show you the last couple of charts I have. | ||
| And this is, you know, just, this is Paul Kennedy, Rise and Fall of Great Nations, like you said, Mearsheimer. | ||
| They've been right the whole way. | ||
| You've been right the whole way. | ||
| Next chart, Denver, let's just go to the next one. | ||
| The next one, if you got it, Denver, here's a weakened NATO, right? | ||
| And so what do you see on this chart? | ||
| You see 12,500 tanks with the U.S., 7,000 without. | ||
| 3,500 jets with the U.S., 2,100 without. | ||
| 4,000 nukes, 500 without. | ||
| 3,5 million troops without U.S. 2.4. | ||
| What it should say there is a brain, right? | ||
| With the U.S., there's a brain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Without the U.S., there's no brain. | |
| What it should also say is with the U.S., you have a leader in President Donald Trump. | ||
| On the right-hand side, without the U.S., you've got no leadership. | ||
| That's what they're missing. | ||
| The last chart sums it up also. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is just the troop levels. | |
| But take a look at this one, Denver. | ||
| So, you know, this looks kind of balanced a little bit. | ||
| But on the left, if you take out the U.S. and you take out Turkey troops, right, this just active military personnel, boy, it's bad. | ||
| If you add up just the U.K. and France, you get 340,000 troops versus 1,500,000, 1,500,000 troops for Russia, right? | ||
| So 380 versus 1,500. | ||
| That's why our betters are coming over. | ||
| That's what they're going to have to discuss today. | ||
| President Trump has total leadership position. | ||
| He's got all the cards. | ||
| Europe looks pathetic now. | ||
| And it's just embarrassing for the United States that we're having to pick up their slack again and again and again. | ||
| And how Zelensky is still in the middle of this conversation. | ||
| Trump needs to put it on the bail him out. | ||
| You force Zelensky in, you'll bail out. | ||
| As Bill Murray said at one time in that joke, we got kicked out of every decent country in Europe from the United States, right? | ||
| Number one, number one. | ||
| We bailed them out in World War I. | ||
| We bailed them out again in World War II. | ||
| We bailed them out again in the Cold War, right? | ||
| The entire American Reagan taking down the evil empire. | ||
| Hey, it's your baby. | ||
| Ignatius is right from the Langley Bugle as the comms director over there. | ||
| This is about making, he says it right at the beginning. | ||
| This is about making Ukraine a Western country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, good, good on you. | |
| Because Germany, France, and Italy right now and the UK are in the process of making themselves non-Western countries. | ||
| They've invited in an Islamic invasion of jihadists and left-wing Marxists. | ||
| They're going to want us to bail it out from that too. | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The madness has to stop. | |
| And President Trump, please tell these guys, tell the chaperones to go home. | ||
| Way to think about what's happening today and in the succeeding days is this war has been about whether Ukraine can become a Western country. | ||
| That's been the aspiration of the Ukrainian people, and it was intolerable to Putin and to Russia. | ||
| And Russia really fought a war to prevent Ukraine from becoming European. | ||
| If the United States today, by offering security guarantees to whatever part of Ukraine emerges from the war intact, so that that country can be, as South Korea became, as West Germany became, a part of the West with our guarantees of security behind them, then that's an outcome that's going to make for a more prosperous Ukraine. | ||
| And in the long run, I can't imagine that the rest of Ukraine won't move as East Germany moved with West Germany. | ||
| That's down the road. | ||
| But the key thing is whether the United States really will stand behind Ukraine's sovereignty against Putin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If that happens today, then I think there's some reason for optimism. | |
| If it doesn't, it's a cave into Putin's power. | ||
| American security guarantees are the holy grail in all this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I say this having served as ambassador in Poland, which literally was in the crosshairs of Putin because it was delivering the weapons to the Ukrainians, the Ukrainians that were using to defend themselves against Russia. | |
| And the security guarantee, the Article 5 commitment here in Poland worked. | ||
| Without that Article 5 guarantee, I can only imagine what Poland and the Baltic states and Romania would have faced. | ||
| So Article 5, the fact that Witkoff and Rubio, negotiator Witkoff and Secretary Rubio, are talking about it is truly the crux of a deal that the Ukrainians could buy into. | ||
| And a security guarantee will have to keep the peace on both sides. | ||
| This has been a terribly bloody war with casualties massive on both sides. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And years over the next few years, there will be feelings of retribution and passion for retribution on both sides. | |
| The Russia-Ukraine conflict has historical dimensions that if President Trump can broker a ceasefire very soon, would be worthy of celebration because it is so historically rooted. | ||
| I think it's Brzezinski's, I think it's Brzezinski's son. | ||
| I think it's Mika's brother. | ||
| The logic, and they got him off right off those friends. | ||
| Hey, thank you very much for jumping in here. | ||
| What did I say on Saturday? | ||
| The hate. | ||
| This is not a part of the world. | ||
| Your great-grandparents go back today. | ||
| As this is all happening, I want you to think through your lineage. | ||
| I want you to think today how you got here and what you owe to your family, not simply your country, what you owe to your own kin and what they went through. | ||
| They got the hell out of there and came over here. | ||
| And hey, this was no day at the beach. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| The immigrants, they had nothing, no social safety, they had nothing, nothing. | ||
| But you know what they did have? | ||
| They didn't have that crap hanging over them from these corrupt monarchies and all these elites over there. | ||
| Even at that time, is it the same thing? | ||
| It ain't changed that much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It hadn't changed that much. | |
| And the ancient vendettas and this part, you think Europe's a cockpit for these wars starting? | ||
| The bloodlens is the worst. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The bloodlens is where they had, that's where they really executed on the Holocaust. | |
| That's where they executed on the starvation of the Ukrainian people. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| You're living in Kansas and they starve you to death. | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| How long? | ||
| And that's in the 1930s. | ||
| Hell, my dad was a little boy then. | ||
| You got folks that are there, but that's the 1930s. | ||
| That's not in the fifth century. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're talking about modern times, modern times. | |
| And look at it right there. | ||
| The vengeance of Vedetta. | ||
| Going to stick American boys and girls in the middle of that? | ||
| No. | ||
| Ignatius lays it up. | ||
| He puts it up in your grill. | ||
| The Ukrainian people aspire to be European. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, God bless them. | |
| I'm a nationalist. | ||
| I love the fact that people are respiring to it. | ||
| That's great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good on you. | |
| But it's not in the vital national security interest of the United States of America. | ||
| What's in the vital national security? | ||
| Get the hell into Los Angeles again, federalize these troops and clean up that mess and give Gavin Newsom something to focus on for the next 90 days instead of running around stealing seats from Republicans. | ||
| He wants to be big shot and call his assembly. | ||
| Let's send the troops into LA and start sending the illegal invaders back home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Give it Americans, give a security guarantee to American citizens. | |
| Got to live with this crap. | ||
| Look at what happened. | ||
| President Trump gave it to D.C. D.C.'s like peaceful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You see the videos going around? | |
| They arrested, I think, 100 people the first night. | ||
| That's security guarantee the American people want to live their own lives and to have their kids go to school and not have to worry about getting hell. | ||
| You know, you had the video of the young woman in D.C. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She says the first time in years she can drive around and doesn't have to, at a stoplight, be ready to hit the gas and get out of there because these young gangs are going to come up, break her window, drag her out of there, take all her money, take her car, carjack her, maybe rape her, beat her up. | |
| President Trump's giving a security guarantee for folks in Washington, D.C. right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Today is the day the war possibly going to be because there's going to be a lot of audibles. | |
| And the chaperones are not there to chaperone Zelensky. | ||
| They're there to chaperone Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These people are up to no good. | |
| They're no good. | ||
| They're no good. | ||
| Macron and Mertz and Malona and she's all she's the bridge thing. | ||
| Hey, get to your 2% and make it weapons and stop allowing the invasion from North Africa into Italy. | ||
| Do that first and then you can be the bridge to Europe, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got a bridge to Europe, Orban. | |
| And now we know they're trying to do a color revolution on Orban. | ||
| That's what they're focusing on. | ||
| These same demons, these same devils. | ||
| The one decent guy got over there. | ||
| And whether they're trying to put alternative for Deutschland in prison and trying to ban them, and oh, they only lead in the polling. | ||
| Do you trust these people? | ||
| They're allowing their own countries to be destroyed. | ||
| And now they want to get us up and have a new kind of made-up thing we're going to do to give the guarantee. | ||
| Listen, if you want Ukraine to be a European country and the Ukrainians want to be a European country, God bless you. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| We're not going to stand in the way. | ||
| We're saying, hey, go with God. | ||
| Go do it. | ||
| But not with our money. | ||
| And certainly not with our boys and girls. | ||
| And hey, we want to do that with boys and girls. | ||
| You want to put 25,000 combat troops? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got, hey, we don't need you guys. | |
| South Korea, you got Germany. | ||
| If you want 25,000 combat troops, I can give you where to send them right now. | ||
| New York, Chicago, L.A., and then, hey, Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, boom. | ||
| We got plenty of places we can send them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These cities, these neo-Confederates running these sanctuary cities, let's de-sanctuary those. | |
| Instead of worrying about Odessa and Kiev and Kershan and all of it, don't care, could care less. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mursham laid it out for you. | |
| They're going to fight the West, these same demons that are coming to the White House today and they're demons, these demons that are coming, right? | ||
| Did exactly what Mersham said. | ||
| They're going to lead the Ukrainian people down the Primrose path until they're destroyed. | ||
| And then they're going to bail on them. | ||
| Oh, no, let's get Uncle Sugar in there to bail it out. | ||
| Let's get Uncle Sugar in there to bail it out. | ||
| What did Mursheimer say three years ago? | ||
| More than that, he said this earlier on. | ||
| He says, Hey, they're going to fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These European elites are going to fight to the last Ukrainian is dead. | |
| Last week, they're taking 60-year-olds, 60-year-olds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this is not some remote war. | |
| They're going up to trenches. | ||
| You've seen what this thing looks like. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This looks like Belgium in World War I. | |
| This is the Western Front. | ||
| You thought mankind have evolved from that? | ||
| We're talking about artificial intelligence. | ||
| We got CRISPR. | ||
| We're hitting the singularity. | ||
| We're back to the ninth century warfare. | ||
| They're sending 60-year-olds up there as cannon fodder. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because the parents got their 20-year-old kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They didn't allow them, they put their foot down, no draft and got them the hell out of the country to save them because that's their primary asset. | |
| Their sons and daughters. | ||
| Their sons and daughters are leaving. | ||
| Are there too many dead and wounded? | ||
| And now we're going to have an American security guarantee. | ||
| And that's pitched by Wickoff as a major breakthrough. | ||
| We don't want it. | ||
| And these chaperones today are going to try to force President Trump. | ||
| You watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they've got to give up. | |
| What do you mean, give up? | ||
| If we didn't put the money, this is the ridiculous thing. | ||
| If we didn't put the money in the weapons, there's nothing. | ||
| They got to stop tomorrow. | ||
| It's got to stop because they got nothing. | ||
| It's depending upon it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you've got people in the Senate right now. | |
| They've got a $38 billion bill that's got co-signatures and this and that. | ||
| And this is the first. | ||
| You thought we beat Mitch McConnell years ago and got him out of leadership by beating that Ukraine thing? | ||
| No, they're back and they're going to be relentless. | ||
| Why? | ||
| The arms manufacturers own these people. | ||
| And they're all globalists. | ||
| They all like being big shots. | ||
| They like going to the Atlantic Chart. | ||
| This is what they're doing now. | ||
| This is why they had to get out of town. | ||
| They couldn't have a recess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let Trump have his appointees. | |
| Because they don't want America First people in these operations. | ||
| They don't want the Defense Department. | ||
| They don't want the State Department. | ||
| They don't want the Intelligence Service. | ||
| They don't want Trump's people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They think Trump's just a passing storm. | |
| And America First, the MAGA movement, just a bunch of right-wing populists going to go away. | ||
| Well, we ain't going away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We are not going away. | |
| We're not just fighting for the greatest country on earth. | ||
| We're winning. | ||
| I know sometimes, folks, you got to sit there and go, Bannon says I'm winning. | ||
| It don't feel like winning, but hey, we are winning. | ||
| You don't think we're winning? | ||
| Look at what Gavin Newsom is doing right now. | ||
| I got an idea. | ||
| So Gavin Newsom can't get his, can't become the totally anti-democratic autocrat. | ||
| Send the troops back into Los Angeles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's give Gavin Newsom something to focus on. | |
| It's all about opportunity costs, where you spend your time, right? | ||
| Remember, we talk about this all the time. | ||
| Let's do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's get Gavin focused on that instead of running around the state, stirring it up, trying to take away the handful of seats people got. | |
| Because he's up front. | ||
| This is about stopping Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's running for president on this. | |
| His first thing running, President Peach Trump. | ||
| It's all inextricably linked. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, David Ignatius, the Langley Bugle. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
| Yeah, well, you know, I don't want to diverge from your point there when you say that David Ignatius laid it all out. | ||
| It was about making Ukraine a Western nation. | ||
| I actually don't agree with that at all. | ||
| It was about NATO expansion. | ||
| The problem is that simply wouldn't wash with the people who are paying for the support of Ukraine, the promised support, the security guarantees, the mother of all grifts, which is going to be the reconstruction of Ukraine. | ||
| So he's dressing it up as something virtuous. | ||
| It was about values. | ||
| It was about bringing Ukraine into the Western family. | ||
| It's not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a military, a U.S. military-industrial complex overreach, which has left a million Ukrainians dead. | |
| That's the hard truth of the matter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And David Ignatius is trying to rewrite history. | |
| Look, I know we're going into a break. | ||
| I just want to finish up on something that you were just saying a moment or so ago about MAGA not going away, about the Trump phenomenon not going away, not being a flash in the pan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It could well be under this situation. | |
| There's nothing that is going to be a stake through the heart of MAGA, like within this four-year mandate, President Trump being obliged to send American troops in to support Ukraine if for some reason Putin shouldn't observe his part of the treaty. | ||
| Let's not forget Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Georgia Maloney. | ||
| These people hate and detest Donald Trump and the political movement he represents. | ||
| They loathe it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They detest it. | |
| You just listed how they're trying to suppress the same embryonic movements here in continental Europe. | ||
| The reason I would like to suggest, one of the reasons that I'd like to suggest that they're coming over, as you point out, as a chaperone, not for Zelensky, but for Trump, because they want to trick him into these security guarantees so that they know within the next four years, a maneuver pulled, encouraged, will bring down this movement and everything it stands for. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because it will be, that is the consequence of this. | |
| Ben, hang on for one second. | ||
| We'll take a short commercial break. | ||
| Back with the team. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just a moment. | |
| We will fight till they're all gone. | ||
| We rejoice when there's no more. | ||
| Let's take down the CCP. | ||

| So get it on today. | ||
| Dave Bratt. | ||
| We'll either get you back tonight or tomorrow whenever your schedule frees up. | ||
| Like you said, we got to be very flexible. | ||
| We're in toss to Charlie Kirk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Then you got Poso, Poses at the White House. | |
| We got Brian Glenn. | ||
| This thing's going to be kind of flexible, I think, because you've got so many power players showing up. | ||
| As this audience knows, the stakes could not be higher, folks. | ||
| Dave Bratt, closing thoughts. | ||
| Yeah, I'll just close agreeing with Ben Harnwell. | ||
| David Ignatius is not what he appears to be, right? | ||
| You might want to go look, and it's widely available. | ||
| 70 CIA coup d'états, beginning with Mossadegh back 53, Iran. | ||
| I wish the U.S. stood for the simplicity of truth, justice, and the American way. | ||
| That would be nice. | ||
| We don't. | ||
| Unfortunately, 70 coups. | ||
| Ignatius is an Episcopalian. | ||
| I haven't heard him speak out on the 2 million deaths and wounded as an Episcopalian. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Instead, the Episcopalian might just be a link between U.S. CIA and British MI6, unfortunately. | |
| Whoa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| Dave Bratt, social media. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| Yeah, I'll post those charts today. | ||
| Brad Economics on Getter and on X. Thank you, brother. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ben Harnwell, closing thoughts, sir. | |
| Well, it was all laid out, as you said, Steve, in the cold open. | ||
| This is really one for the file of this is how done they think you are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You hear David Ignatius, you hear Ambassador Brzezinski making the claim that the security guarantees is the holy grail. | |
| It's all about that. | ||
| And then they throw out this ridiculous analogy of West Germany and South Korea. | ||
| That is a Cold War dynamic. | ||
| You can argue about that when you have two superficially parallel organizations with the guns faced at one another. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This isn't that. | |
| What these people are trying to do is bind the United States in, and they're doing this in your face. | ||
| Believe them, folks, at your own peril, but they are looking you in the eye and lying to you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the bloodlines. | |
| Ben, where do people go? | ||
| If you haven't signed up for Getter, you do it just to get Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Ben, where do they go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Too kind. | |
| On Getter at Harnwell, simply my surname, folks. | ||
| And what I mentioned earlier on in the show, you'll find it up there at the top of my feed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks, Steve. | |
| God bless. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, sir. | |
| I haven't been called too kind in a while. | ||

|
Jack Basobic finally wired up at the White House. | |
| We have Brian Glenn and Jack Bosobic all day covering the historic event. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jack, frame it for us, brother. | |
| Well, Steve, we're here at the White House, of course. | ||
| We were in Alaska on Friday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, round two of what I've called the Anchorage Accords will take place. | |
| This coming after the tough phone call that took place over Air Force One on Friday after the meeting, President Trump, even after we were on that tarmac, 2 a.m. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's now Saturday morning over at Andrews Air Force Base, and President Trump is still working the phones. | |
| We held there on that tarmac for about an hour on Saturday morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
While President Trump, they said he's finishing up. | |
| Caroline came out, said he's finishing up a call, doesn't want to hang up because a series of tense phone calls. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And of course, we saw President Trump's true social just last night saying no return of Crimea and no NATO for Ukraine. | |
| Now, this comes against the amidst the backdrop of Article 5-like guarantees potentially for Ukraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course, that remains to be seen exactly what it is. | |
| But we're told that Zelensky's car, his motorcade, will be driving right here behind where I am right now. | ||
| The other European leaders will be coming in the back way to the White House just in a few moments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we're going to go. | |
| So 12 noon, we're pitched to Charlie Kirk. | ||
| Real America's voice, keep it right here all day. | ||
| Wall-to-wall coverage. | ||
| You see the shot right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the entrance to the South Lawn. | |
| The chaperones, that means the head of Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Does that bring back memories of World War II? | |
| Well, it should. | ||
| They're all coming today for a power move on President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So he's got Zielinski's coming at one. | |
| There's going to be a bylat, probably be a press available. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just keep it. | |
| I'm sure it's going to be quite not just historic, but I think it might be a little wild today, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jack Bosobic, the stakes could not be higher. | |
| The tension we hear at the White House, Brian Glenn tells us you could cut it with a knife. | ||
| You and Glenn have the only two guys I know that have been there through the whole thing. | ||
| How high is the tension as we get ready to pitch this to Charlie Kirk? | ||
| Well, Steve, the tension is absolutely there. | ||
| But I will say, though, from what we're hearing out of the president, what we're hearing out of the Oval Office, that's not where the tension is. | ||
| The tension is more of a brace for impact because they're not sure how the Europeans and Zelensky will react. | ||
| Remember, it was the very last time, the very last time, when Zelensky came here with the track suit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Remember that he was doing a slob squad in the Oval Office, and he was basically unceremoniously thrown out. | |
| So the brace for impact is when they step into the ring with President Trump here. | ||
| By the way, we're going to crack staff here at Real America's Voice. | ||
| Steve, we're going to be holding on this shot here where I am on the north lawn just in case we see one of those early exits again. | ||
| Jack, your social media, where do people go? | ||
| You're priceless. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Well, I'm up at Jack Psovic, of course. | ||
| Getter, TrueSocial, X Telegram. | ||
| We're going to be doing human events daily here all day. | ||
| I'll be appearing with Charlie Kirk as well. | ||
| I'm here for the duration. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If we do make it to the press conference, I'll be here for the press conference as well. | |
| I've got some interesting questions for everyone who's there, including Ms. Von der Leyen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're tossing to the great Charlie Kirk right now. | |
| Populist NASA is served up hot. | ||
| You see the South Lawn right there. | ||
| We're waiting for the chaperones, the leaders of the European government. | ||
| I don't think we've ever had a meeting at the White House dealing with war and peace that is at this low. | ||
| So quite historic. | ||
| Put together the hat tip of the White House staff. | ||
| We're going to be back five to seven tonight live. | ||
| Hey, they may be doing a press surveillo. | ||
