This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these.
Jack Posobiec
People's not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people had a belly full of it.
Steve Bannon
I know you don't like hearing that.
Jack Posobiec
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.
Brian Glenn
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
Jack Posobiec
MAGA media.
Brian Glenn
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Steve Bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room.
Steve Bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
Jack Posobiec
Okay. It is Monday, the 18th of August in the year of our Lord 2025. It is historic. First off, just to have. Just to have the European leaders do anything in August. They're adamant they take August off. So they're kind of chapped. 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.
Steve Bannon
That is the way.
Jack Posobiec
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 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. They 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. I'm not denigrating your work. I think you've done amazing work. And I agree we have to go to paper ballots, hand counter, all that. But I've always been a. You can see how they stole it in 2020, right in front of your face, Putin says something. President Trump is now all over that to stop that. And he's an executive order being in place. The federal takeover of the sanctuary cities is nothing short of extraordinary. It's absolutely extraordinary. 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 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 in London. Such a hellhole. 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 these cities and it hasn't gone all the way yet. It's got to go. I think President Trump then work on a plan right now. I think D.C. is going swimmingly. You got to increase the deportations. And guess what, school's about to start. Got to go to the schools. Hey, sorry, not sorry. If you're going to end it, you got to end it. And you've got to go everywhere. You got to go to the jails, you got to go to the prisons, got to go to the hospitals, it has to go to the homeless encampments. You have to go to schools. Everybody's got to go. You can't, you can't have, you can't favor any one group. Got to go. 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 and coming in and it's like 30,000 Africana or guys from South Africa. I'm not into that either. Okay. President Trump has just put out a true social ring at Jack Posobic 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 Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Ker Starmer of the United Kingdom, Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Mertz, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, my favorite. She's a beauty. And Secretary General 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 actually part of the, 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 trilat. Whoa. First means there's some breaking news here. First meetings Putin and Zelensky, which Zelenskyy would never said that would happen. Now he's going to get them two together. After that meeting takes place, we will have a trilat which would be the two presidents plus myself, 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. Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, special envoy Steve Whitkart are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine. Thank you for your attention to this matter. So met all day, went into the Oval as President Trump has want to do, to kind of have a. Let's have a hot wash up. Let's figure out where we are in this thing. Looks like they got Putin on the, on the phone right now, folks. I will tell you. And as you know, I've been screaming at these security guarantees since Friday morning before they landed in Alaska. And I gotta tell you, I feel a little bit better. During the meeting we discussed. I'm quoting now from the president's Truth Social. During the meeting we discussed security guarantees, those 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. No American troops. Doesn't sound like we're an active participant. That's all got to be worked out. Is Jack Bosoba by phone? Jack Bosoba, we're trying to get Jack by phone. And this is why Poso special is such a special guy. He found and one of the few guys to report that. And this must 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 as good as the interpreters are. And a lot of times, you know, just in the, in the hurry of things you maybe not hear because we heard. This is why I went kind of nuts Friday morning on security guarantees. I knew this would be a big deal. Why it was a big deal over the weekend. And then even Steve Wyckoff 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, to the Russians. He reported this on Jake Tapper show yesterday. And I was going to. Why would we do that and why would they accept it? Well, the Russians actually from Moscow, one of their official, remember they got these kind of official and semi official information like Tass, 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. Any scenario for the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine is categorically un unacceptable for Russia and is fraught with a sharp escalation. 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 backstop 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. One thing we've warned against is that, and it says right there in the rush thing, there's so much bitterness and there should be bitterness. 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. We've said this is a problem between Russia, two Slavic entities, right? One that believes that historically that 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 Mearsheimer I think has done an excellent job of explaining that to people. Number one, as he said back in 2014 when Victoria Nuland in this crowd, Hillary Clinton, that whole crowd basically throughout a democratically elected, elected government. Now when I say democratically elected, it was Putin's look, it had a strong Russian influence. In fact, people even say, hey, the Russians rigged the election. Well, guess what? 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, a 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 or Bond. You've had these deadbeat, you know, I have Macron, who nobody can stand. You've had Mertz, who's, you know, who's a, who's a prototypical German, right? And these guys 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. Hey, lady, he 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. I don't hear any, I don't want to hear any kind of rhetoric. We want to see actions. Orban, that crowd. Orban has not been to the White House yet. You know, Zelensky's had like at least two visits, I think maybe more. He's had one, which was the complete meltdown. And then today some of these other guys are on the second, third trip. Macron looks like he should get an apartment, you know, across, across Lafayette Square. But I digress. Jack Posobec 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. So we are making progress, okay? We're making big progress. But the Russians, as you pointed out, and I think only Posovics 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. 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. There's been so many dead, so many wounded. 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 Posobec, you had a pretty big scoop there, sir, in alerting people to the fact that there's a long way for any buy off in really any part of this deal, sir.
Brian Glenn
Well, Steve, thank you for that. And I think that Just does come. I should come 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. 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. The border with Russia. Because. Because they understand that when Victoria Nuland and people have to understand Victoria Nun 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. That's always been their overall platform plan. And so when the Russians see American troops going into Ukraine, that's something that certainly sparked their skepticism, to say the least. So doesn't surprise me that they would have come out and said, absolutely not. Plus, by the way, the MAGA base. The MAGA base, America 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 reported 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.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, that's going to be. Oh, my God. That's going to be a short answer. Right. Remember the frozen assets we stole from the Russian people? Something we didn't do to the Nazis. 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. We never did it to the fascists in Italy. 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 taught $100 billion weapons purchase from the United States. Unfortunately, we got to put the money up. But he'll buy $100 billion worth of weapons. This thing's so corrupt, it's unbelievable. But I want to go back to what President Trump just put up, Jack, because you Kind of get a better feel for this, 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 bilat. 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?
Brian Glenn
Well, Steve, that's definitely something new we have not seen. To my mind, even going back to the Minsk accords, even going back to Crystal Inski taking office, we've never seen a direct meeting between the leader of Ukraine and the leader of Russia. And I certainly can see a lot of fraught, a lot of fraught skepticism from a security perspective, both of these countries. I mean, this has been an incredibly brutal war with assassinations after assassinations playing. I mean, they killed Alexander Dugin's daughter, for example. 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, 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, it does seem as though that's a separate meeting from this trilateral meeting. Unless, of course, maybe 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. But it seems as though that seems to be a separate meeting from the meeting of the three of them.
Jack Posobiec
No, it does. In fact, he thinks he tries to go out of the way in the true social post. Here's my question to you. How does Putin do that? 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 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 representative of their countries or their nation states. And he really thinks Xi, President Trump 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, that is a major status move for Zelensky to actually be in a meeting one on one with Putin representing, representing Ukraine and representing the issues in Ukraine, particularly when they're still seem to be 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 Dnieper River. How does Putin give a status boost to Zelensky, a former actor, right. And comedian, when Putin comes out of the kgb? And those guys are pretty, they're pretty formal, sir.
Brian Glenn
Well, Steve, not only that, but I point out that there's been, there have been a few statements that have come out from not high level, but media, 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 Zelensky 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, so it really is, I guess, Steve, when it comes to this. All 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. We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg. 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.
Jack Posobiec
I certainly wish we had not raised the flag up on Alternative number five for Trump. 20. I'm just kidding. Let's, let's make mediate go through a full meltdown right now. Jack, I want to go back before I lose you and 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 truth 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?
Brian Glenn
Steve I'm actually going back and I would, I would take it back to even prior to what we saw today, I think this is an explanation because President Novrotsky of Poland, who's someone that, you know, I got to see him at the inauguration, got to see him at CPAC Poland 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 willingness. 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 one 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 the eu, Marc Root and Ursula von der Leyen who are there, but it's not a full representation. So it's 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. I think this is probably I think this is probably what has been cooking up and is yet to be revealed probably until this this true social post.
Jack Posobiec
This. 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 EU, you get a security guarantee, you're not in NATO. Quite interesting. Jack Bassoba, before I let you go, Brian Glenn is going to we're going to try to get Brian Glenn up. He's at the RAV studios. At the RAV studios before I do that. Jack Bryant was front and center as he always is in these kind of mes in the Oval was 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.
Brian Glenn
On his question when he said that, when he said, I thought, I think you're wearing the same suit. Well, you know, Steve, I've done a number of reportings with, with Brian and you know, I 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 it, you know, he's got a couple that sort of fill that role. They say every man needs to have, you know, the dark suit, the blue suit and then like, you know, like a seer sucker. But I don't know, maybe, you know, Steve, you and, you and Zelinsky typically have a similar kind of style though, you know, he only does, he is.
Jack Posobiec
Yo, yo, yo. I was, I was well ahead of Zelinsky on this. Another copy, another guy, another guy trying to rip off the original model, Jack Posovic. 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 Posobic, where do people go on your Twitter to follow you because they haven't come out of the oven. I don't think right now. We're going to cut to that as soon as we get it. A lot of news going to be tonight, a lot of analysis tonight. You're going to want to go see what Jack Posobie thinks because 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, Brian Glenn also.

Maybe yours is much better. Real quickly upon peace, God willing to get peace. Are you open to holding an election in, in your country?
Volodymyr Zelensky
Yes, of course we are open for 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, we can do security. We need, maybe how to say we need a truce. Yes. Everywhere in the battlefield, in the sky and the sea. Yeah. To make possible for people to, to do democratic, open, legal, legal elections.
Brian Glenn
Real quickly, you pushed out on social media.
Brian, go ahead, go first.
You pushed out on social media about doing away with mail in ballots and potentially electronic voting machines. Can you expand on that? How important?
Well, that's a very off topic. 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 you know that we're the only country in the world, I believe I may be wrong, but just about the only country in the world that you uses it because of what's happened. Massive fraud all over the place. The other thing we want change are the machines. 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 to resolve 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. Even Jimmy Carter with this commission, they set it up, he said the one thing about mail in voting, voting, you will never have an honest election if you have mail in it. 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. Because with men and women, 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. We're not going to get mugged, beaten up or killed. Like all the people you've been watching get so badly hurt. 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 ask me, they asked me for my license plate for identify. I said, I don't know if I have it. 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 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, every 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 1003 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 but 0, 0 and 0. You go back a year ago, two years ago, three millions of people poured into our country. It was terrible. Thank you very much.
Jack Posobiec
By the way. Breaking news right there. We're going to get to Franklin and momentarily breaking news. What a day. What a historic day. Breaking news. This is one this audience has been waiting for. That demon judge down in Brazil, Alexandra D. Morris. This is from the State Department. Morris is a 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. US Persons are prohibited from transacting with him and non US 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 up from the State Department. I'll get that up and I'll have commentary on Getter as soon as the show's over. But just absolutely, absolutely extraordinary. Brian Glenn put us in the Oval Office that 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. 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.
Brian Glenn
Was a very tense moment up until that point. I think I was even getting a little bit of mean mugging from Zelinsky's crew sitting on the other side of the couch. But that was going to be my lead question. If he had a suit, I was going to compliment him on the suit. And then the exchange back to me, Steve, it was a dig on me. But you know what? I'm light hearted. 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 open to having elections upon getting a peace deal. 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 he didn't want to answer it because it was off topic, but boy, did he spend a good three, four minutes just on mail in ballots.
Jack Posobiec
No, we 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 6 o' clock hour of stories we have not been able to cover, Right. And things that are happening, 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 and they're saying, hey, the city's got a whole new vibe to it. It's also a template to what's going on, the massive fight for redistricting across the country. Gavin Newsom is up front. 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 in that. Also, everything that's going on in the southern border and preparing for military action against the cartels, 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 sense is the Commerce Department's getting ready for the midterm second.
Steve Bannon
There are 20 or 30 things we.
Jack Posobiec
Don'T even have time to cover because the auctions is set, as it should be. I mean, these are world historical events right here to try to bring a peace to it. 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.
Brian Glenn
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. 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. They said, you got 20 seconds. Answer this question. Does MAGA support having troops on the ground in Ukraine for keeping the security, security assurance? And I said, absolutely not. We're all for ending the war, but I think as soon as you put American troops on the ground in Ukraine, you do jeopardize their safety. So I certainly hope whatever agreement they come up with this security assurance does not include US Military troops on the ground. I may be wrong on this, Steve. That may happen. I certainly hope it doesn't. 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.
Jack Posobiec
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 America first movement, not particularly ecstatic about that. Just last question. Your Multiple blue suits. Because he heckled you today about your suit. But we know you've got multiple suits. Do you get those just to match your eyes? Is that. Is that. Is that the reason you have so many blue, such a wide selection of blue suits? Is they. Is they match? I don't want to say what MTG's told us, but is that to match your blue eyes?
Brian Glenn
I was. I was just gonna 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 won't announce them yet. They're gonna 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. What a great day. 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 teed up a little bit earlier, right after the other one, the suit question, rather.
Jack Posobiec
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 now, actually, to the point, I know our audience couldn't watch msnbcnc, and it actually is too much. It's too over the top. It has nothing to do with facts. This is just pure information warfare. I'm glad we curated for people because it's sickening. President got Max boot. Here's what they do. There's nothing but haters. They got Bolton on, they got Max Boot on, they got McFaul on, they got every guy, just the Vindmans. You get that whole crowd. It's just nothing but pure, unmitigated hate nastiness from the hosts, and you don't learn anything. I mean, this is what Jack Posobie and Real America's Voice in war room have been talking about the security guarantees and getting it back up. And finally the Russians come out, talk about it. It 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.
Steve Bannon
The fact we're monetizing, we're branding, we're branding the suits.
Jack Posobiec
I'm gonna hold it.
Brian Glenn
I may even look like a.
Jack Posobiec
You're an acolyte of. This is.
Steve Bannon
This is the Rob Sig school.
Jack Posobiec
I love it. You've learned from the master. You learn from the master. So where do people go? I have.
Brian Glenn
I have. You can follow me at. Brian on Truth Social, Ryan 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. I think we have at least a gentleman's agreement that we've settled the suit debate and we're even for right now. We're even.
Jack Posobiec
Okay. Breaking news coming out of the war room. Meaningful eye contact between. Given some of Zelensky's previous tapes and videos. I would watch. That 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 six o' clock hour. Appreciate you. Got it. Oh, they call the lid. There's not going to be any access to the Oval Office. They called a lid on today. Did we see. Did we see the dignitaries leave from the south? They're still there. 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 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 got all kind 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. There's also things about investigations.
Steve Bannon
Huge.
Jack Posobiec
Two huge pieces of breaking news coming out in the last few minutes. Andrew Bailey, who is the COVID bid for the FBI when Cash Patel got it, is now the co. 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. We'll have full coverage of all of that for our folks in Brazil. I gotta tell you, the Bolsonaros in Eduardo, what an incredible, incredible, incredible job on a day like today. Particularly had all those demons around the White House not into the. I'm not into the head of France and the head of Germany. Right. Head of England, head of Italy, not into them whatsoever. 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 exorcism than Billy Joe Shaver. The late, great Billy Joe Shaver. Get thee behind me, Satan.
Steve Bannon
We're going to leave you with that.
Jack Posobiec
We'll see you Tomorrow morning at 10:00am Eastern Daylight Time when you will be back in the war room.
Billy Joe Shaver
No words were spoken over me. I almost thought I died. Then I knew I wasn't dead. I had been buried alive. I said, get deep upon me, Satan. For I commanded the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth Here if deep behind me, Satan. Oh, I commanded him 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 that I felt to stop inside me. And a smile came across my face and I said, get deeper down with Satan. For I commanded the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Empty behind me, sitting. For I commanded in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yeah. For I commanded it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In the name of the Lord Jesus Jesus Christ. Amen and amen. Amen, brother.

Date: August 18, 2025
Host: Steve Bannon (WarRoom.org)
Key Contributors: Jack Posobiec, Brian Glenn, (with appearances/reports on President Trump, President Zelensky, and European Leaders)
This historic episode centers on President Trump's rare August summit with major European leaders and the implications for U.S. involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, electoral integrity in the U.S., and U.S.-EU relations. The hosts break down the “security guarantees” discussion between the U.S., European powers, Ukraine, and Russia. There is also significant discussion on Trump’s new push against mail-in ballots and election machines, and the ongoing transformation of enforcement agencies like the FBI under the Trump administration.
"Mail in ballots are corrupt...We’re going to start with an executive order...to end mail in ballots…we’re the only country in the world...that uses it because of what’s happened, massive fraud all over the place. The other thing we want to change are the machines...paper ballots are very sophisticated...we would get secure elections." (Trump, [35:06])
“...We’re already to now a coordination and not troops...At least it looks like it.”
"First meetings Putin and Zelensky, which Zelensky would never said that would happen. Now he’s going to get them two together. After that meeting...we will have a trilat which would be the two presidents plus myself, that’s the President of the United States, Donald Trump talking again."
"Mail in ballots are corrupt...We’re going to start with an executive order...we’re the only country in the world...that uses it because of what’s happened, massive fraud all over the place."
“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.”
“It has nothing to do with facts. This is just pure information warfare. I’m glad we curated for people because it’s sickening. ...It’s just nothing but pure, unmitigated hate, nastiness from the hosts, and you don’t learn anything.”
“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...But it was a funny moment. I think we do have a suit sponsor coming up, by the way, so that’ll be great.”
