On Monday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough expressed surprising support for President Trump's handling of a potential peace deal on Ukraine But—Joe being Joe—he also managed to work in a Muy Macho moment. He brought in Mark Brzezinski, son of Zbigniew, brother of Mika, and appointee of Obama and Biden, respectively, as ambassador to Sweden and Poland, who said that if Trump achieves a peace deal, he would be entitled to "celebration" and "accolades" [Nobel Prize?]  Scarborough noted how Trump's relations with European leaders have changed markedly for the better since his first term. Scarborough pushed back hard when John Heilemann claimed that Putin would get what he wanted from the deal: a part of Ukraine. Scarborough said he would only get "slivers," and that Putin definitely did not want a form of NATO Article V guarantee for Ukraine, something that seems to be on the table.      Scarborough made a point of lowering the bar for what should be considered a successful peace deal. He mocked "screeching" from people claiming the deal would be "a huge defeat for Zelensky." Scarborough said that every Biden official admitted that Ukraine was going to have to give up land, and that whereas some said Ukraine would have to be admitted to NATO, "that was never going to happen." Rather, if the West grants a quasi-NATO-type guarantee, "that would be considered, I think, at the end, a win for Ukraine." Scarborough mocked people who said that Putin's body language at the summit indicated he felt like a winner. Scarborough pointed out that Putin is a KGB agent who was not about to look as if he had been beaten. Joe also did his Muy Macho thing, saying that if he ever met with Putin, and Putin had slouched in his chair, as he did in Alaska and also with Obama, Scarborough would have walked out, telling him, "Have fun. I'm going back to Washington." Not just Muy Macho, but Scarborough seeing himself as POTUS! Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe 8/18/25 6:12 am EDT MARK BRZEZINSKI: 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 and so recently bloody. And to put something in place that stops that would be worthy of accolades.  . . .  JOE SCARBOROUGH: One other thing that's fascinating, a difference everybody's always saying, well, what's different in second term versus the first term? The first term, Vladimir Zelensky would not want any European leaders in with him because Donald Trump had horrible relations with all of them.  Now, there's very good relations with Keir Starmer. He's had very good relations with Meloni in Italy. He's got good relations with Macron in France. He's got good relations with the new Chancellor of Germany. It is very interesting that Donald Trump will be surrounded by leaders that he has close personal relations with.  . . .  JOHN HEILEMANN: What does Vladimir Putin take from this? Why did Vladimir Putin look so jolly the other night in Alaska? Is that in the end, I think it's hard to escape the message that you laid out there, which is, in the end, he's gonna have fought this war, he's gonna have lost a lot of lives, suffered a lot of casualties, but he's gonna end up getting what he really wanted, which was a piece of Ukraine. The long-term question -- SCARBOROUGH: Well no, no, no.! Actually, what he wanted was Ukraine. What he expected to have was Kyiv. The question is, will he get slivers of Ukraine, and actually have the United States guaranteeing the security of the rest of Ukraine? He did not want that.  HEILEMANN: That's 100% correct.  . . .  SCARBOROUGH: There was a lot of screeching this weekend from a lot of people acting like the deal was already done and it was a huge defeat for Zelensky. We don't know yet. The question is this. Will there finally be a stop sign? Will the West finally put a stop sign in front of Vladimir Putin, which they didn't do after Georgia, they didn't do after Crimea, they didn't do after Ukraine in 2014?  If the West, if Europe puts a security force in Ukraine with U.S. backing, if the United States is a part of rebuilding Ukraine. And we have Americans in there, business owners, contractors, and perhaps some military advisors. If they are in there, that is a tripwire. And that would be enough to actually put a stop sign up to Vladimir Putin.  The question is, will we get that far today? And if we don't, not today, but during this process, if we get that, that's something we haven't had since Putin became president of Russia.  . . .  Let's underline two things here. Just again, to set expectations, to be realistic. Even during the Biden administration, every Biden official, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, says they're going to have to give up land. They're not going to like giving up land, but they're going to have to give up land, number one.  Number two, they're not going to become members of NATO. There may have been people writing articles in the Wall Street Journal or elsewhere saying they have to be members of NATO. But you go around to every European leader, that was never going to happen.  But there was an idea of a quasi-NATO type guarantee. And they need that guarantee. And if they get that guarantee, if they have the guarantee that Putin's not going to reload and then come back in, that would be considered, I think, at the end, a win for Ukraine.  JONATHAN LEMIRE: On Friday, obviously, Putin, to John's point earlier, Putin had the body language of a winner on "Friday Night Summit," but that was only part one.  SCARBOROUGH: I heard that. He's a KGB agent! To people expecting to hang his head and go, oh, oh, poor me. No!  LEMIRE: He did the slouch thing. He always does the slouch thing in the chair. He always does that.  SCARBOROUGH: He does the slouch thing in the chair when, like, Barack Obama and other people are next to him.  LEMIRE: But to be sure, again -- SCARBOROUGH: By the way, if he did the slouch thing in the chair with me or you, we'd just get up and walk off.  LEMIRE: Yeah, you're right. SCARBOROUGH: I'd be like, you're not going to pay attention to me. Seriously, while I was watching him and President Obama, I said, why doesn't Obama just get up and walk off?  Somebody acts that way in front of me to make a point: "You made your point. Hope you have fun. I'm going back to Washington. "

Globalist progressive puppet master George Soros turned 95 years old last week on August 12. “He's outlived almost all of the people that tried to stop him and, to be honest, most of the economies that he tried to collapse,” says Glenn Beck.“You have toppled a few currencies just for sport; you have funded enough political movements all over the world to keep small nations in coups for over a century now; and you've turned philanthropy into a really terrifying word,” he adds, congratulating the billionaire on reaching his 95th birthday only “to see [his empire] all come apart at the very end.”Since Alex Soros, George’s second son, was given control of Open Society Foundations and related financial entities in 2023, Glenn has reveled in watching him send the family empire spiraling into chaos. You’re “the man who broke the Bank of England,” he says to George. “Your son is breaking another bank, but it seems to be yours.”Glenn points out some of Alex’s biggest failures, most notably his decision to invest roughly $2 billion in an electric vehicle company called Rivian Automotive. Under Alex’s oversight, Soros Fund Management purchased nearly 20 million shares at $70-$100 per share, but in just a year’s time, the stock dropped to a laughable $18 per share, resulting in over $1 billion in losses.According to HedgeFollow, a website that tracks and ranks U.S. hedge fund performances, Soros Fund Management currently holds a performance rating of one out of five stars, indicating it is among the least successful hedge funds in the country.In July 2023 after Alex assumed control of operations, Open Society Foundations cut 40% of its staff worldwide, drastically limited new grants, and made significant changes to its operating model — all signs that the nonprofit organization was running “out of money,” says Glenn.However, Alex’s “crowning achievement,” he says, was his involvement in Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, with OSF spending $1.6 million to lobby for provisions like electric vehicle tax credits tied to its Rivian investment.But now that the Trump administration is taking drastic moves to repeal and limit the Inflation Reduction Act’s provisions, it seems that’s become yet another failure of Alex’s, too.But it’s just the beginning of his long list of misfires. While Alex was pumping money into the Inflation Reduction Act, he was simultaneously “spending at least $4 million on Stacey Abrams' failed gubernatorial campaign,” says Glenn.“Who would be this stupid? Certainly not George Soros’ son,” he mocks.“Now it could be because at the time Rivian was starting to build a gigafactory right there in [Abrams’] state and he was asking the state for some subsidies. … Then she didn't win, and all that money was flushed down the toilet.”Even the Soros-funded DAs who were installed to “collapse this country” are beginning to fail, as “more than a dozen have been removed from office by recalls and scandals,” says Glenn, adding that the dramatic increase in urban crime thanks to these soft-on-crime DAs was a “key factor” in the defeat of the Democratic Party in 2024.“The second election of Donald Trump, you know — crime, immigration, and the economy were the big topics, which had to bother you because those were your big topics, too,” he taunts.The Trump administration “cutting electric car subsidies,” “closing the borders, defunding all your little NGOs,” “going after your sanctuary cities, and, this week, taking crime on in D.C.” has got to be “mental torture” for 95-year-old George, who’s “just trying to make it to the pudding in the afternoon,” Glenn mocks. “To see your world fall apart. That torture must be relentless.”To hear more of Glenn’s commentary, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

As social media and alternative news sources continue to make strides into the well-capitalized territory of cable news networks, the legacy media have been forced to make changes to their business models. Well-established left-wing organizations are in some cases facing an existential threat, and now one of the most well-known leftist outlets is trying its hand at a rebrand. Comcast's NBCUniversal has announced that it will spin off several media assets, including MSNBC, into an independent company called Versant by the end of the year. 'The peacock is synonymous with NBCUniversal, and it is a symbol they have decided to keep within the NBCU family.'In a surprising move, MSNBC will change its name to MS NOW, short for My Source News Opinion World. Clearly, cutting the "NBC" is part of the major rebrand, but keeping the "MS" is unexpected given that Microsoft began to divest from NBC News in 2005 and completed the sale of its 50% stake in the website in 2012. RELATED: Blaze Media jumps into White House press pool, signaling legacy media's weakening stranglehold Versant CEO Mark Lazarus (center) on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.Photographer: Michael Nagle/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesMSNBC and several other assets will be losing the iconic peacock logo in addition to the name refresh."The peacock is synonymous with NBCUniversal, and it is a symbol they have decided to keep within the NBCU family," Versant CEO Mark Lazarus said in a company memo on Monday. The new publicly traded company will include assets such as USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, Syfy, and Golf Channel along with complementary digital assets Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, GolfPass, and SportsEngine, according to a Comcast press release. "As MS NOW continues to grow within Versant, it's critical that it has its own distinct identity, entirely separate from the NBC News brand, in order to avoid any potential confusion between the two organizations," Adam Miller, COO of NBCUniversal, said in a statement.
