Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
President's not got 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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
jake tapper
MAGA Media.
unidentified
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.
Stephen K. Battle.
Okay.
It is Monday, 18 August in the year of our Lord 2025.
steve bannon
It is historic.
unidentified
First off, just to have the European leaders do anything in August, they're adamant.
steve bannon
They take August off, so they're kind of chapped.
unidentified
They got to do that because President Trump's working seven days a week.
There's so much positive happening on the economy, so much positive happening on securing our borders and deportations, but just President Trump's talking about an executive order from mail-in ballots to stop and make it cease.
That is the way I'm absolutely convinced after we go through, and they've already started the process of an official adjudication of this, that you'll find it was the mail-in ballots more than the machines.
And look, I'm open to the machines, folks.
I said I was always not a machine guy, but the machines are way too complicated.
This should be like the cash counters in Vegas, and they're way too complicated.
I 100% agree with you and all the great technicians and all the great folks that have fought the machine battle for years and years and years.
steve bannon
I'm not denigrating your work.
unidentified
I think you've done amazing work, and I agree we have to go to paper ballots, hand counter all that.
steve bannon
But I've always been a mail-in ballot guy.
You can see how they stole it in 2020 right in front of your face.
Putin says something that President Trump is now all over that to stop that.
unidentified
And an executive order is being in place.
steve bannon
The federal takeover of the sanctuary cities is nothing short of extraordinary.
It's absolutely extraordinary.
unidentified
And you can see in D.C., it's a great template for others.
We had this colonel.
I'm going to make sure.
I think I've got it up.
It's 10 or 12 minutes, but it's longer.
I've got, I think, a 10-minute or 12-minute clip-up.
steve bannon
This British colonel associated with their intelligence saying, hey, the radical Marxist on the left and radical Jihad has combined to make England such a hellhole, the United Kingdom such a hellhole, and London such a hellhole.
unidentified
He said we're going to go to a civil war to have to rectify it because the feckless politicians are too gutless to do it.
Now, you've had the federal takeover of these cities, and it hasn't gone all the way yet.
It's got to go.
I think President Trump's then working on a plan right now.
steve bannon
I think DC is going swimmingly.
unidentified
You've got to increase the deportations.
steve bannon
And guess what?
School's about to start?
unidentified
Got to go to schools.
Hey, sorry, not sorry.
If you're going to end it, you've got to end it.
And you've got to go everywhere.
steve bannon
You've got to go to the jails, got to go to the prisons, got to go to the hospitals.
unidentified
It has to go to the homeless encampments.
You have to go to the schools.
Everybody's got to go.
You can't favor any one group.
steve bannon
Got to go.
unidentified
So, and by the way, I'm not a, you know, people saying the, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a big name on this.
There are 40,000 asylum seekers coming in, and it's like 30,000 Afrikaners or guys from South Africa.
steve bannon
I'm not into that either.
unidentified
Okay.
President Trump has just put out a true social.
We're going to get Jack Vesovic up by, I have my whole punch list, but I will break because the President of the United States just put out a true social.
Had a very good meeting with distinguished guests, President Zelensky of Ukraine, President Macron of France, President Stubb of Finland, Prime Minister Maloney of Italy, Prime Minister Kurt Starmer of the United Kingdom, Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Mertz, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, my favorite.
steve bannon
She's a beauty.
unidentified
And Secretary General of NATO, Mark Root, in the White House, which ended in a further meeting in the Oval Office.
During the meeting, we discussed security guarantees for Ukraine, which guarantees would be provided by various European countries with a coordination with the United States of America.
Okay, so we're already to now a coordination and not troops, and not we're actively part of the security guarantees.
At least it looks like it.
I'm just reading the President's word here.
Everyone is very happy about the possibility of peace for Russia-Ukraine.
At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin and began the arrangements for a meeting at a location to be determined between President Putin and President Zelensky.
After that meeting takes place, we will have a tri-t-whoa.
First meeting, so some breaking news here.
First meeting is Putin and Zelensky, which Zelensky would never say that would happen.
Now he's going to get them two together.
steve bannon
After that meeting takes place, we will have a tri-lat, which would be the two presidents plus myself.
unidentified
That's the President of the United States Donald Trump talking.
Again, this was a very good early step for a war that has been going on for almost four years.
steve bannon
Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Wirkar are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine.
unidentified
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
So met all day, went into the Oval, as President Trump has wanted to do to kind of have a, let's have a hot washup.
Let's figure out where we are in this thing.
Looks like they got Putin on the phone.
Right now, folks, I will tell you, and as you know, I've been screaming about the security guarantees since Friday morning before they landed in Alaska.
And I got to tell you, I feel a little bit better.
During the meeting, we discussed, I'm quoting now from the President's True Social.
During the meeting, we discussed security guarantees.
Those are in capital letters, by the way, for Ukraine, which guarantees would be provided by the various European countries with a coordination with the United States of America.
So now we're back to coordinators.
steve bannon
No American troops.
unidentified
Doesn't sound like we're an active participant.
That's all got to be worked out.
Is Jack Bisovic by phone?
Jack Bisobic, we're trying to get Jack by phone, and this is why Poso is such a special guy.
He found, and one of the few guys to report, that, and this must have been some kind of miscommunication between the parties, and that's going to happen.
You're under this intense pressure.
People are flying around.
They speak in different languages.
The interpreters are only good as the interpreters are.
And a lot of times, you know, just in the hurry of things, you may be not here because we heard, this is why I went kind of nuts Friday morning on security guarantees.
steve bannon
I knew this would be a big deal, why it was a big deal over the weekend.
unidentified
And then even Steve Wickoff, and I think the world is Steve, and President Trump, more importantly, thinks the world of him has dealt with this guy for decade after decade after decade.
They really know each other.
He said, hey, you know, we sold that to the Russians.
He reported this on Jake Tapper's show yesterday, and I was going, why would we do that?
And why would they accept it?
The Russians actually from Moscow, one of their officials, remember, they got these kind of official and semi-official information like TAS, others that kind of put out RT, that put out really their state media.
And they've got this just got put out a while ago, and I'm quoting from theirs.
steve bannon
Any scenario for the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine is categorically unacceptable for Russia and is fraught with a sharp escalation.
unidentified
The Russian foreign minister said on Monday.
That would be Lavrov, that old dog.
Okay, this is a quote now from him.
We reaffirm our repeatedly stated position on our categorical rejection of any scenarios that envisions the appearance of Ukraine of a military contingent with the participation of NATO countries, which is fraught with an uncontrolled escalation of the conflict with unpredictable consequences.
Read a statement from the foreign minister against the backs of certain statements of Western countries regarding the possibilities of sending such a contingent.
So this is going to be a key negotiation area, right?
Particularly when you're talking about land, you're talking about the possibility.
steve bannon
One thing we've warned against is that, and it says right there in the Russian thing, there's so much bitterness, and there should be bitterness.
unidentified
The people that should be the most bitter, I believe, are the citizens of Ukraine.
The citizens of Ukraine, the citizenship itself, to me, has shown incredible courage and valor.
And they've done what they've been asked to do, or in some cases, been told to do.
You know, they believe in the country, and that's fine.
steve bannon
We've said this is a problem between Russia, two Slavic entities, right?
unidentified
One that believes that historically this is not even a separate entity at all, the other that believes they are with modern history, and they think they've been kind of misled by the West.
Professor Mersheimer, I think, has done an excellent job of explaining that to people.
steve bannon
Number one, as he said back in 2014, when Victoria Newland and this crowd, Hillary Clinton, that whole crowd, basically threw out a democratically elected government.
Now, when I say democratically elected, it was Putin's.
unidentified
Look, it had a strong Russian influence.
steve bannon
In fact, people even say, hey, the Russians rigged the election.
Well, guess what?
unidentified
Our election was rigged in 2020.
As hard as we tried, we couldn't throw Biden out of office.
So they had a color revolution, the same color revolution they're trying to run right now in Hungary against Orban.
Get ready for that one.
Get ready for that one.
Shouldn't be lost on people.
Orban, you've had these deadbeats.
I had Macron, who nobody can stand.
You've had Mertz, who's, you know, who's a prototypical German, right?
And these guys are trying to shut down Alternative for Deutschland, the Freedom Party over there.
You've got Ursula, who just irks me no end, right?
You know, all her high and mighty.
Maloney, who's just completely phony.
Right there, she's yammering on about security guarantees.
steve bannon
Hey, lady, hit the 2% that you're supposed to put in on real defense, and then you can come and have a seat at the table.
But until then, I don't want to hear it.
unidentified
I don't want to hear any kind of rhetoric.
steve bannon
We want to see actions.
unidentified
Orban, that crowd, Orban has not been to the White House yet.
You know, Zelensky's had at least two visits.
I think maybe more.
steve bannon
He's had one, which was a complete meltdown.
unidentified
And then today, some of these other guys are on the second, third trip.
Macron looks like he should get an apartment across Lafayette Square.
But I digress.
Jack Vasobic joins us by phone right now.
Jack, I just read The president's statement that just came out that said, hey, the security guarantees are European security guarantees with America as a coordinator.
steve bannon
So we are making progress.
unidentified
Okay, we're making big progress.
steve bannon
But the Russians, as you pointed out, and I think only Pasobic's got this, the Russians came out today and said, hey, maybe it's the translation that you guys are not getting, but when you talk about security guarantees, that kind of rings like an Article 5 NATO.
unidentified
If you put NATO troops in there, it's going to get this thing could escalate.
As we said, it's so much vengeance, retribution.
steve bannon
There's been so many dead, so many wounded.
unidentified
They've now officially gave us today the count: 950,000 Russians dead or wounded.
I think it's almost the same amount.
President Trump keeps talking about and commenting on a million dead Ukrainian troops, dead or wounded.
And I think the number of civilians is up to 100,000.
So, Jack Pasobic, you had a pretty big scoop there, sir, in alerting people to the fact that there's a long way for any buyoff and really any part of this deal, sir.
Well, Steve, thank you for that.
jack posobiec
And I think that does come, I'm sure it comes as no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention to this problem set going all the way back to 2022 when it was the Russians who initially said no Ukraine and NATO.
unidentified
And they were the ones raising the issue of seeing American soldiers training alongside Ukrainian soldiers.
We later found out about a dozen or so CIA bases that were operating on Ukrainian soil alongside the border with Russia because they understand that when Victoria Newland, and if people have to understand, Victoria Newham and the previous members of the administration turned this meat grinder on, they always viewed Ukraine as not a country, but as a launching platform for regime change operations within Russia, whether that be color revolution, civil war, or others.
jack posobiec
That's always been their overall plan.
unidentified
And so when the Russians see American troops going into Ukraine, that's something that certainly sparked their skepticism, to say the least.
So it doesn't surprise me that they would have come out and said absolutely not.
Plus, by the way, the MAGA base, the MAGA base, the American First Base, wants no part of another war that has nothing to do with our borders.
But by the way, Steve, I just wanted to call out, I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, the Financial Times is now reporting an exclusive document.
They're saying they've got the deal that Zelensky brought in with him to the White House and presented to President Trump today.
And he's asking for $300 billion in war reparations from Russia.
And he wants those frozen assets.
steve bannon
Yeah, that's going to be, oh my God, that's going to be a short answer, right?
unidentified
Remember the frozen assets we stole from the Russian people, something we didn't do to the Nazis, right?
In fact, we got them, we gave the Nazis a conduit to the world's capital markets.
That's why we allowed Switzerland to be neutral.
We've never done this to the Chinese Communist Party.
We never did it to Imperial Japan.
steve bannon
We never did it to the fascists in Italy.
unidentified
We only stole the assets of the Russian people.
Yeah, that would be the same people that sacrificed 65 million dead in World War II as our ally and our principal allies.
I might remind everybody, not the Bolsheviks, the murderous Bolsheviks.
I want to go something.
Also, they said of the three, but he also tossed a hundred billion dollar weapons purchase from the United States.
steve bannon
Unfortunately, we got to put the money up, but he'll buy $100 billion worth of weapons.
unidentified
This thing's so corrupt.
It's unbelievable.
steve bannon
But I want to go back to what President Trump just put up, Jack, because you kind of get a better feel for this.
unidentified
He said, and I think this is the one difference, and this is Trump as dealmaker, that what they've agreed to in the Oval and having these calls and talking to Putin, you know, the parental supervision on the chaperones, that they're going to have a, they're actually going to have a meeting just between Zelensky and Putin, a bylat.
And then if that goes accordingly, then they'll have a tri-lat with President Trump as a third hand.
Your observations on that, sir?
Well, Steve, that's definitely something new.
We've not seen, to my mind, even going back to the Minsk Accords, even going back to Pri Zelensky taking office, we've never seen a direct meeting between the leader of Ukraine and the leader of Russia.
And I certainly could see a lot of fraught, a lot of fraud skepticism from a security perspective.
Both of these countries, I mean, this has been an incredibly brutal war with assassinations after assassinations playing.
jack posobiec
I mean, they killed Alexander Dugan's daughter, for example.
unidentified
So it's been an incredibly brutal assassination campaign with going after civilians, a lot of civilians being killed on both sides here.
So to see the two leaders meeting one-on-one, I think would be absolutely remarkable, given how personal this fight has been and how much animosity there has been between the two sides.
Could President Trump broker it?
He's the only one who could absolutely broker something like that.
And it remains to be, it does seem as though that's a separate meeting from this trilateral meeting, unless, of course, it may be one of the situations where he's going to be because it doesn't, just given the way he's written the tweet, and I don't have anything outside of this.
I'm going to work my source chain in a minute here when we get off the show.
jack posobiec
But it seems as though that seems to be a separate meeting from the meeting of the three of them.
unidentified
No, it does.
steve bannon
In fact, it thinks he tries to go out of the way in the True Social Post.
unidentified
Here's my question to you.
How does Putin do that?
steve bannon
I mean, one of the things that's pretty obvious, right?
He considers himself like part of the G8.
Now, he's been sent out, so he sees the equivalent of, you know, the president of France or the head of Germany or the head of the United Kingdom or President of the United States as at least representatives of their countries of their nation states.
unidentified
And he really thinks she, President Trump, and himself are the three great powers existing in the world.
How did the president of the United States talk Putin into actually sitting down with Zelensky and giving that's a major status move for Zelensky to actually be in a meeting one-on-one with Putin representing Ukraine and representing the issues in Ukraine,
particularly when they still seem like they're pretty far apart on a lot of these fundamental issues, like security guarantees, like land, like you keep mentioning if the Russian army's to back up or if they stop right at the Dneper River?
How does Putin give a status boost to Zelensky, a former actor and comedian, when Putin comes out of the KGB?
And those guys are pretty formal, sir.
Well, Steve, not only that, but I'd point out that there have been a few statements that have come out from not high-level, but I would say mid-tier Kremlin officials pointing out again and again that Zelensky is beyond his legal remit, his legal mandate in office.
And so the Russians have brought up the legalistic, and Kremlin bureaucracy is famously legalistic, bringing up the question of whether or not he has legitimacy to sign any documents with the Kremlin or the United States.
So, huge legitimacy boost for President Zielinski.
And all, by the way, President Trump had mentioned this earlier, sort of made a joke about it, talking about the fact that Zelensky will have to stand for elections once the cessation of hostilities takes place because martial law will end and his term has ended.
Of course, President Trump making that joke that's going all over left-wing Twitter today saying, so all I have to do is start a war, and I could stay in office indefinitely then.
Interesting.
And so it really is.
I guess, Steve, when it comes to this, all I'll say is we are getting these very carefully worded statements out from President Trump, but there are the things that he is revealing to us, and I think there's a whole lot more that he has not yet revealed in terms of these negotiations.
jack posobiec
We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
unidentified
And when President Trump is in deal mode, that's when you know he's not going to show all of his cards until the appropriate moment.
I certainly wish we had not raised the flag up on alternative number five for Trump 20.
I'm just kidding.
Let's make Mediight go through a full meltdown right now.
Jack, I want to go back before I lose you.
I appreciate you calling in by phone.
I want to go back to what the Russians said earlier about the security guarantees and the very careful way that the President of the United States just put out his true social, talking about they were in the Oval Office after the larger meeting.
And he said that the security guarantee would come from the basically the nations of Europe, from the European Union, with coordination by the United States of America.
What's your read on that, sir?
Steve, I'm actually going back, and I would take it back to even prior to what we saw today.
I think this is an explanation because President Navrodsky of Poland, who's someone that, you know, I got to see him at the inauguration, got to see him at CPAC poll and when he was running, he did not attend the meeting today.
And there were some questions about that.
He said, why didn't he come?
You know, he was on the pro, he was on the phone call the other day, and he referred to this phrase called the coalition of the willing.
And he said, Poland is not part of the willing.
We are not part of this coalition.
So what it seems to me, Steve, is that I think this idea has been in the works for a couple of weeks now.
We've, of course, do you remember when they were talking about that army of the EU a few years ago?
This certainly was an idea under Angela Merkel and others.
I think what we're seeing here is the countries that are making the security guarantee are the ones that were in the room.
And the countries that weren't there are the ones are not going to be participating in this, or at least it's going to be an incredibly controversial part of that.
Because think of it.
They're not referring to NATO.
They're not referring to the EU directly.
They're calling themselves the coalition of the willing.
And certainly you've got representatives of NATO and representatives of the EU, Mark Root and Ursula von der Leyen, who are there, but it's not a full representation.
jack posobiec
So it seems to be that those are the countries that are going to be covering down on the brunt of whatever the security guarantee ends up being.
unidentified
I think this is probably what has been cooking up and is yet to be revealed probably until this True Social Post.
So Macron's been working on something.
This is where, and of course, the EU does have this situation where if you come a member of the EU, you get a security guarantee.
steve bannon
You're not in NATO.
unidentified
Quite interesting.
Jack Pasovic, before I let you go, Brian Glenn is going to, we're going to try to get Brian Glenn up.
He's at the RAF studios at the RAF studios.
Before I do that, Jack, Brian was front and center as he always is in these kind of meetings in the Oval.
Was I don't have time to play it.
Was Zelensky's feedback to him?
Was that a heckle Brian Glenn?
Did Brian Glenn get heckled by President Zelensky today on the blowback on his question?
When he said that, when he said, I think you're wearing the same suit.
Well, you know, Steve, I've done a number of reportings with Brian, and I've got to say, you know, he's got a number of blue suits.
I don't know if it was the exact same one, but he's got a couple that sort of fill that role.
They say every man needs to have the dark suit, the blue suit, and then like a fear sucker.
But I don't know, maybe, you know, Steve, you and Zelensky typically have a similar kind of style, though.
jack posobiec
You know, he only does, he just doesn't have yo, yo, yo.
unidentified
I was well ahead of Zelensky on this.
Another copy, another guy, another guy trying to rip off the original model.
Jack Basovic, and I agree with you, Brian Glenn.
Brian Glenn has many blue suits.
And to go with those, those as MTG tells us, those blue eyes.
But anyway, Jack Pisovic, where do people go on your Twitter to follow you?
Because they haven't come out of the OVA, I don't think, right now.
We're going to cut to that as soon as we get it.
A lot of news is going to be tonight, a lot of analysis tonight.
steve bannon
You're going to want to go see what Jack Pasovic thinks because he's on the cutting edge, not just going to Odessa by train years ago into the conflict to the front lines, but also was in Alaska with our own Brian Glenn and there today at the White House with Brian Glenn also.
So, Jack, where do people go?
unidentified
Steve, thank you.
I'll be up at Human Event Daily across X. We're going to be hanging all of our analysis there.
jack posobiec
We're going to go in depth into detail and, of course, across TrueSocial, Getter, and Telegram.
unidentified
And who knows?
jack posobiec
Maybe I'll be heading back to the White House later this week.
unidentified
Okay, Jack, let you go back to work.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
Brian Glenn is actually in the RAV DC Studios.
The new studios we call the Palace.
steve bannon

Huge news, breaking news right now, just coming across the wire.
steve bannon
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has just become the co-deputy director of the FBI alongside Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
For folks in the know and down in Mar-a-Lago, the FBI directorship essentially came down to Kash Patel and Andrew Bailey.
unidentified
So this is a huge augmentation of the force over there at the FBI.
I think it's also showing, you know, cash and those guys need some backup.
There's so much going on.
So this is a huge announcement.
The cover bid to actually get the directorship.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is now becoming the co-deputy director of the FBI, who will work alongside Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
steve bannon
So expects even more intensely.
unidentified
You've got another pair of hands, and this guy's got big capabilities.
So Andrew Bailey, now at the FBI, also Fox News is reporting that full story.
We'll get into that in detail tomorrow morning.
Now, our own Brian Glenn, and this is how significant a force Brian Glenn's becoming on the White House Press Corps, Correspondence Corps.
Brian asks, he's not trying to be cute.
He's always asking a question that has a point to it.
And the president, you can tell, responds to these questions and gives in-depth answers.
steve bannon
Today, for almost five minutes, Brian Glenn controlled the floor in the Oval Office with the President of the United States and President Zelensky.
Let's go to it, play it, and then we'll bring in the one and only Brian Glenn.
unidentified
Brian, go ahead, bro.
Yes, sir.
I've got a question for each of you.
First of all, Mr. President Zelensky, you look fabulous in that suit.
I said the same thing.
Yeah, look, you look good.
I said the same thing.
Yeah, it's good.
I said someone that attacked you last time.
I remember.
I apologize to you.
You look wonderful.
No, my first question for you, President Zelensky.
In the same suit.
You see, I changed you out.
Maybe yours is much better.
Real quickly.
Upon peace, God willing we get peace.
Are you open to holding an election in your country?
Yes, of course.
We are open for an election, yes.
We have to do safety in circumstances.
And a little bit we need to work in the parliament because during the war you can't have elections, but we can do security.
We need, maybe, how to say, we need a truth.
Yes, everywhere in the battlefield, in the sky, in the sea, yeah, to make possible for people to do democratic, open, legal, legal elections.
You pushed out on social media.
donald j trump
Brian, go ahead.
unidentified
Go first.
brian glenn
You pushed out on social media about doing away with mail-in ballots and potentially electronic voting machines.
Can you expand on that and how important?
donald j trump
Well, that's a very off topic.
unidentified
Just really quickly.
Mail-in ballots are corrupt.
Mail-in ballots, you can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots.
And we, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots.
We're going to start with an executive order that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country to end mail-in ballots because they're corrupt.
And Do you know that we're the only country of the world, I believe, I may be wrong, but just about the only country of the world that uses them because of what's happened.
Massive fraud all over the place.
donald j trump
The other thing we want change are the machines.
unidentified
For all of the money they spend, it's approximately 10 times more expensive than paper ballots.
And paper ballots are very sophisticated with the watermark paper and everything else.
We would get secure elections.
We'd get much faster results.
The machines, I mean, they say we're going to have the results in two weeks.
With paper ballots, you have the results that night.
Most people, almost, but most people, many countries use paper ballots.
It's the most secure form.
So between paper ballots, very, very important, paper ballots, and I think maybe even more important, the mail-in voting.
We're going to end mail-in voting.
It's a fraud.
If you have mail-in vote, even Jimmy Carter with this commission, they set it up.
He said, the one thing about mail-in voting, you will never have an honest election if you have mail-in.
donald j trump
And it's time that the Republicans get tough and stop it, because the Democrats want it.
It's the only way they can get elected.
unidentified
Because with men and women's sports and with transgender for everybody and open borders and all of the horrible things.
And now the new thing is they love crime.
They're fighting me on the fact that I've made Washington, D.C. safe.
donald j trump
We're not going to get mugged, beaten up, or killed like all the people you've been watching get so badly hurt.
unidentified
I'm glad, I hate to take your time with this, but I'm glad you asked me that question.
We're going to stop mail-in ballots because it's corrupt.
You know, when you go to a voting booth and you do it the right way and you go to a state that runs it properly, you go in.
They even asked me, they asked me for my license plate for identity.
donald j trump
I said, I don't know if I have it.
unidentified
They said, sir, you have to have it.
I was very impressed, actually.
But it's very hard to cheat with mail-in voting.
As you know, what happens in California, it's so corrupt where some people get five, six, seven ballots delivered to them.
Now, we've got to stop mail-in voting, and the Republicans have to lead the charge.
The Democrats want it because they have horrible policy.
If you have mail-in voting, you're not going to have many Democrats get elected.
That's bigger than anything having to do with redistricting, believe me.
And the Republicans have to get smart.
We're not going to have a country.
I said for a long time at rallies, you need borders and you need free and fair elections.
Those two things.
Otherwise, you don't have.
We have strong borders now.
In 90 days, Mr. President, we didn't have one zero, zero, and three months.
Not one person came in illegally into our country.
In fact, even I find that hard to believe, but it's run by a little bit of a liberal group that put out the numbers, so I guess it's zero, zero, and zero.
You go back a year ago, two years ago, three, millions of people poured into our country.
It was terrible.
Thank you very much.
By the way, breaking news right there, we're going to get to Branklin and momentarily.
steve bannon
Breaking news.
unidentified
What a day.
steve bannon
What a historic day.
unidentified
Breaking news.
This is one this audience has been waiting for.
That demon judge down in Brazil, Alexandra DiMoras.
This is from the State Department.
Morris is toxic to all legitimate businesses and individuals seeking access to the United States and its markets.
No foreign court can invalidate United States sanctions or spare anyone from the steep consequences of violating them.
U.S. persons are prohibited from transacting with him, and non-U.S. persons must tread carefully.
Those providing material support to human rights abusers face sanctions, risk themselves.
That is dropping the hammer right there on the demon in Brazil that's trying to put President Bolsonaro in prison for life and have him assassinated.
So right there, the State Department, finally, congratulations to Eduardo Bolsonaro and everyone here in the United States is working with Eduardo on this.
A major blockbuster coming out from the State Department.
steve bannon
I'll get that up and I'll have commentary on Getter as soon as the show is over.
unidentified
But just absolutely, absolutely extraordinary.
Brian Glenn, put us in the Oval Office day.
You actually broke the tension, I think, because you could cut the tension with a knife until you got into that repartee with President Zelensky.
steve bannon
And I might say, good on you, because you got a lead story, I think, in the New York Post with your name in the headlines, sir.
Tell us about it.
unidentified
It was a very tense moment up until that point.
I think I was even getting a little bit of mean mugging from Zelensky's crew sitting on the other side of the couch.
But that was going to be my lead question.
brian glenn
If he had a suit, I was going to compliment him on the suit.
unidentified
And then the exchange back to me, Steve, it was a dig on me.
brian glenn
But you know what?
unidentified
I'm lighthearted.
I've got a sense of humor.
I know that he was just kind of joking around.
I liked the moment.
I think it got the president laughing at a level I've never seen him laugh that hard before.
It was just a good moment.
And then I went into the question about him having the be open to having elections upon getting a peace deal.
brian glenn
He did answer that question.
But then I think the big question of the day, Steve, that President Trump pushed out earlier this morning was about the elections and about the mail-in ballots and the electronic voting machines, which has been a huge thing ever since 2020 election.
And I kind of feel like at first that he didn't want to answer it because it was off topic.
unidentified
But boy, did he spend a good three, four minutes just on mail-in ballots.
No, he had to, and that was so important.
This thing is very important.
In fact, Brian, I was going through a punch list earlier at the top of the six o'clock hour of stories we have not been able to cover, right, and things that are happening.
steve bannon
The mail-in ballots, the federal takeover of Washington, D.C. You can see it already.
You can talk to even your progressive and liberal friends.
unidentified
And they're saying, hey, the city's got a whole new vibe to it.
steve bannon
It's also a template to what's going on.
The massive fight for redistricting across the country.
unidentified
Gavin Newsom is upfront.
He's running for president of the United States on getting a redistricting done in California that is able to thwart what we're doing, what everybody else is trying to do, so that then can impeach President Trump after the midterm election.
He'll run for President of the United States on that.
steve bannon
Also, everything that's going on in the southern border and preparing for military action against the cartels.
unidentified
You're seeing it coming out of Pete Hex as the defense.
We've sent or we've assigned an amphibious group to Southcom, which is in control of Latin America and South America for American defense, and also appointed to them, attached to them, the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Force.
So things are about to heat up down in Central America, the Caribbean, Latin America, as President Trump gets going.
Also, the census, the Commerce Department's getting ready for the midterm segment.
There are 20 or 30 things we don't even have time to cover because the auctions is set as it should be.
steve bannon
I mean, these are world historical events right here to try to bring a peace towards.
unidentified
And you can tell President Trump's all in on this.
Brian Glenn, your observations from Friday in Alaska to now Monday evening at the White House.
You know, I think we're making a positive step in the right direction as far as peace.
Now, what Putin has to say about it, we don't know.
brian glenn
Perhaps we'll find out a little bit later tonight.
You know, I did a segment on the BBC earlier, and they asked me this question from a MAGA perspective.
unidentified
They said, you got 20 seconds.
brian glenn
Answer this question.
unidentified
Does MAGA support having troops on the ground in Ukraine for keeping the security, security assurance?
And I said, absolutely not.
brian glenn
We're all for ending the war.
unidentified
But I think as soon as you put American troops on the ground in Ukraine, you do jeopardize their safety.
So I surely hope whatever agreement they come up with, this security assurance does not include U.S. military troops on the ground.
I may be wrong on this, Steve.
brian glenn
That may happen.
I certainly hope it doesn't.
unidentified
But I know I feel like we're making a step in the right direction.
I think today, with the lightheartedness that we had, I think that loosened everything up.
And you can tell from the president's true social, particularly some of the stuff that was given out over the weekend, now it's going to be European security guarantee with European personnel with some sort of coordination by the United States.
That's so much better than what we heard earlier, that there may be American troops, as you know, the American First Movement.
Not particularly ecstatic about that.
Just last question.
steve bannon
Your multiple blue suits, because he heckled you today about your suit, but we know you've got multiple suits.
unidentified
Do you get those just to match your eyes?
Is that the reason you have so many blew such a wide selection of blue suits?
Is they match?
I don't want to say what MTG's told us, but is that to match your blue eyes?
I was just going to say, maybe someone by the name of MTG has been texting you too much on that.
I do have several versions of the same blue suit.
Now, if you just want to criticize somebody for wearing the same suit, President Trump wears that dark Navy suit every day.
I guess I need to do a closet review and go through my closet and show all the colors, but it was a great, it was a funny moment.
I think we do have a suit sponsor coming up, by the way, so that'll be great.
Whoever that is, which I know who they are, but I don't want to announce them yet, they're going to profit big time off me being in the Oval Office wearing their suits as I get these radical questions.
But what a great day, though, Steve.
brian glenn
What a great day.
unidentified
Also, I did, real quickly, I did ask about, do you think the media is actually against getting a peace deal done?
Because they've been against you every step of the way on every policy.
And I think the fake news media, they're very jealous that President Trump is making progress in peace.
They don't want it.
They don't want him to take a victory lap.
That was my other question that I had that I teed up a little bit earlier.
Right after the other one, the suit question, rather.
No, I'll tell you, your answer to that is this is what I keep saying.
President Trump, he can give them everything they want.
And all day long, it is relentless.
If you watch, and now actually to the point, I know our audience couldn't watch MSNBC and C.
steve bannon
It actually is too much.
It's too over the top.
unidentified
It has nothing to do with facts.
steve bannon
This is just pure information warfare.
unidentified
I'm glad we curated for people because it's sickening.
President, they got Max Boot.
Here's what they do: there's nothing but haters.
They got Bolton on, they got Max Boot on, they've got McFaul on.
Every guy's just the Vinmans.
You get that whole crowd.
It's just nothing but pure, unmitigated hate, nastiness from the host.
And you don't learn anything.
I mean, this is what Jack Pasovic and Real America's Voice and War have been talking about, the security guarantees and getting it back of them.
And finally, the Russians come out and talk about it.
There looks like even a sea change coming out of the White House.
These people are just relentless, orange man, bad, orange man, evil, orange man, no good.
Just constantly, constantly, constantly.
And it's just relentless.
Brian, where do people go to get you on social media and to find out who your new suit sponsors?
I love a guy that I love the fact we're monetizing.
We're branding the suits.
Hold it.
steve bannon
You're an acolyte of.
unidentified
This is the Rob Sig school.
I love it.
You've learned from the master.
You learn from the master.
So where do people go?
I have.
I have.
You can follow me at Brian on True Social at Brian Glenn TV on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
And yeah, maybe I walk out with all these NASCAR sponsorships on my suit.
Hey, but I had a couple moments with Zelensky.
We got eye contact.
He kind of nodded.
I kind of nodded.
brian glenn
I think we have at least a gentleman's agreement that we've settled the suit debate and we're even.
unidentified
But right now, we're even.
Okay.
Breaking news coming out of the war room.
steve bannon
Meaningful eye contact between, given some of Zelensky's previous tapes and videos, I would watch that.
unidentified
I would watch.
I would check in with your boss on that one.
Brian Glenn, thank you for joining us here in the war room, the 6 o'clock hour.
brian glenn
Appreciate you.
unidentified
Got it.
They called a lid.
Oh, they called a lid.
steve bannon
There's not going to be any access to the Oval Office.
unidentified
They called a lid on it today.
Did we see the dignitaries leave from the South?
steve bannon
They're still there.
unidentified
Okay, maybe they're going to have some chow.
Maybe they're going to leave.
We'll do it in the last couple of minutes that we've got.
Brian Harrison, do we get Brian if we can get?
I tell you what, we'll do that tomorrow.
I assume there's no new map.
We didn't get a Texas 10.
We're going to get on that tomorrow.
We've got all kinds of things coming in that we can finally clear the deck here for a little bit of the Ukraine wall-to-wall coverage we've had for four or five days.
And we've got so much more to cover that we will have a number of interesting guests on tomorrow.
A lot of this about election fraud.
steve bannon
There's also things about investigations.
unidentified
Huge, two huge pieces of breaking news coming out in the last few minutes.
Andrew Bailey, who is the cover bid for the FBI when Kash Patel got it, is now the co-deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, working alongside Dan Bongino.
And the demonic judge in Brazil has had another huge sanction put on him.
As a person, if you're going to be in business with him, you ain't going to be in business in the United States of America.
So the State Department really stepped out there.
steve bannon
We'll have full coverage of all that for our folks in Brazil.
unidentified
I got to tell you, the Bolsonaro's and Ed Wardo, what an incredible, credible, credible job.
On a day like today, particularly had all those demons around the White House, not into that.
I'm not into the head of France and the head of Germany, right?
Head of England, head of Italy.
steve bannon
Not into them whatsoever.
unidentified
All they're doing there, when they're there, they're trying to shake down the United States of America.
President Trump stood tall today.
Not a better song if you need an exorcism than Billy Joe Shaver, the late, great Billy Joe Shaver.
Get thee behind me, Satan.
We're going to leave you with that.
We'll see you tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time when you will be back in the war room.
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I couldn't see my hand in front of my face.
I knew that I was buried in the deepest, darkest place.
The deeds I had done put me in this awful place.
Then I felt a stir inside me.
And a smile came across my face.
And I said, get deep and I'm listening.
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Get deep behind me, Satan.
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Get deep behind me, Satan.
For I commanded it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Get deep behind me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Amen.
